from their mothers and given away and forced adoption mothers still search for grown children. for their parents. i pass a controversial bill for the building, the filming of police officers for malicious reasons. president elect joe biden packs his cabinet with sparking concern about washington's intentions abroad.

over another district in the disputed region to azerbaijan. that's part of the russian peace deal. locals are abandoning a life. it's all over for joining us here on r.t. . international france has been a rocked by public breast to lawmakers, passed the controversial bill. it forbids the filming of police officers for, quote, malicious reasons. these

protests have been building now for the last few weeks. and on tuesday night, as the assembly members, the parliamentarians here in france decided to pass that law, which means it's passed its 1st hurdle in becoming an official law. here in france, more protests were held across the country. a city such as paris, bordeaux, where thousands of people turned out to show their ease with this law. this is the global security law. part of it article $24.00 is particularly controversial, and that's because it will criminalize the publication, the broadcast of images of the police where they can be identified in certain

circumstances where there is an intent to harm them. now that would be punishable if this becomes an official law in france by a year in prison or 45000 euro fine journalists, groups, and n.g.o.s have been hugely critical of this draft law saying this essentially gives the green light for police to stop the journalists from doing their jobs,, there's also been criticism from the u.n.,, which has said this could damage democracy. and the e.u., which has said it is imperative that news media are able to do their job freely. but the country's prime minister said what he thought the tax, the law was excellent, he himself would be referring this to france's highest court when comes to constitutional matters. but i would like to say here as clearly as possible that there has never been there isn't and will never be the intention of the government

to infringe in any shape or form of press freedom. freedom of expression. many suggesting that despite the assurances from the prime minister from the government, that this law will have an impingement when it comes to freedom of the press. obviously we're very, very angry with the system which favors the police which protects them. this is going to worsen the problem. we're going to be even less free and they will have even more, right, do whatever they want. the match is not over. the bill man has to go through these summits. and we've seen that despite everything, several m.p.'s from the majority, hesitating to support the bill in paris, the protest here we had a particular focus and that was on the vents that unfolded on monday evening when police used what was described as brute force and violence to dismantle a migrant camp in the city. now during that dismantlement,

there are images of being pulled, cautioning journalists and migrants were attacked by police officers. and that is what many people say brings this entire law into question. so lots of questions still remaining about this more as we mentioned, it's been passed by the national assembly, meaning the 1st hurdle is over, but it will now go to the senate 2021 with course it could be rejected or it could be passed on to become an official law here in france. manual via the secretary general of france's national journalists' union says that the bill amounts to censorship. there's the question of censoring journalists. even self-censorship is now as urgent as ever. journalists are constantly being pressured already, and they have a difficult job. we're not saying that police officers have an easy profession, but if someone threw filming, or something else encroaches on the honor of an officer,

the measures are already spelled out in the criminal code. why add something else to it? we see this is an attempt to put additional censorship on journalists. this profession has been under pressure for more than one year through various laws, the law on commercial secrets, the law on fake news, and also summoning journalists to find out their sources. this is all well known and we try to convey to the minister that it's time to pay attention to france's image abroad. turning now to the u.s. where president elect joe biden has dismissed criticism that his administration would be an extension of the a bar many years. this was thrown at him after unveiled his national security team featuring a number of a bomber era hawks in key roles. this is not a 3rd obama term because there's, we face a totally different world. when we finished the obama biden. joe biden's white

house pics of also being criticized by peace groups and human rights activists. many pointing to the foreign intervention policies, a military ties. those in the new cabinet looks at how biden's choices could shape u.s. foreign policy. america's foreign policy needs to be properly fixed after 4 years of diplomatic rock says one who says the man whose own white house mistakes as donald trump saw them were thorley taken care of by the outgoing administration. the time has come for the u. turn to go full circle. there has been some damage done. that is going to take some time to dig ourselves out of. but there's no doubt that joe's got the right people to do it. the man taking over the oval office in 2021 was president obama's number 2. so who are the best people to set these apparent wrongs? right. well, the former deputies of obama's team, of course, how easy,

i'm really starting to get that joke that brock's got himself a 3rd term. let's take a look at the collective portrait of a deputy dream team. one squad member clearly thinks it was the meddling russians who god, donald trump, elected in the 1st place. jake sullivan biden speak for national security advisor. this was a moment where we realized that the russians had decided that they were going to actively interfere in the u.s. election. that they were going to intensively work to undermine the pillars of u.s. democracy. and that they were going to try to defeat hillary clinton. if it wasn't for the russians, if you know what i mean, this career boost would have come much earlier. after all, mr. sullivan served as an advisor for the hillary clinton campaign. and yes, he worked as a national security advisor to the vice president biden. and here we're looking at someone who was all for upping u.s. involvement in syria. tony blinken,

the new man taking care of america's foreign relations in syria. it's tougher, it's longer. it's going to take time to build up the syrian opposition, but we believe it can be done. our commitment is to help them to support them, to give them the training, to give them the equipment to give them the air, the power, to give them the advisor. and it all comes back to hillary, who, infamously said this about libya. we came, we saw he died, right. as you may have guessed, mr. blinken was among the star democrat diplomats who love the idea of getting libya sorted through intervention. his c.v. highlights include deputy secretary of state deputy national security advisor and national security advisor to the vice president. so moving on with deputy dream team, you simply don't deserve the position of intelligence director under joe biden. if you haven't been to a big name blood, say in the cia under obama, without further ado. here's avril haynes,

the former deputy cia director also happened to serve as the deputy national security advisor right after tony blinken. some give ms. hanes credit for making america's drone wars more transparent. her critics though, paint her with a different brush focusing on her role as the architect of the drone program. one which is associated with scores of civilian deaths. a slight stain on the record, isn't it? any great team deserves at least a few qualified veterans. this one is no exception. take john kerry, he's getting his comeback. chance to the job of special presidential envoy for climate goes to the former secretary of state. bear with me for a bit of feedback on the team from someone familiar. the incoming administration could not have chosen that to pursue now for the foreign policy and national security teams. ok, at least there are no surprises,

and the world knows what to expect. meanwhile, a growing number of republicans are voicing their discontent at how the new administration is shaping up. some senators, have even threatened to derail the confirmation hearings for the outgoing secretary of state, didn't mince his words about the incoming teens. i know some of these folks that they took a very different view. they, they were been a bit of a fantasy world. they were from behind their piece. they hope to choose a different course. these are the same people who knocked over libya in 2011, leading to a decade of nightmarish civil war and jihad and terror. a case study and competence . arden's cabinet picks went to ivy league. schools have strong resumes, attend all the right conferences and will be polite and old. leak at stake is the america's decline. i support american greatness and i have no interest in returning to the normal that left us dependent on china. or the libertarian party is 2020,

vice presidential candidate spike cohen believes that the new bud ministration will be more aggressive in its foreign policy and not to the benefit of ordinary americans. i think if you like the continued expansion of u.s. imperialist foreign policy, then this is a dream team for us. we got tony blinken, we got michelle flournoy, admiral haynes and others who served under the obama administration. and while they were there, they were the main cheerleaders for the expansion of the war in iraq, the involvement and expansion of the war in syria. the continuation of the u.s. sponsored genocide in yemen and the involvement and invasion of libya by the us military. if you want more dead u.s. troops and dead people overseas, if you want more trillions of dollars being run up in debt to continue this empire imperial system going than this would be they ideal pick for us in general. if you just talk about the subject of us foreign policy, the average american wants the wars to end,

the average american wants the troops to come home. the average american doesn't think that the u.s. military should be used as the world's police or that it's done a good job at it, or that it done anything other than lead to an increasing number of veterans coming home with, you know, p.t.s.d. and other chronic health problems and not to mention the measurable suffering and harm that's being done overseas. so the average american wants this to end whether that will play out or not, and in public outcry, but that remains to be seen. ok, let's bring some news just coming in that a cause rammed into the fence of chancellor angela merkel's office and have been no immediate reports of casualties. let's go live to berlin correspondent there is painted over the andes, across the story of his pains. what details do we have at this stage about this incident? well this morning, a dark colored folks walk in golf, crashed into the barriers. outside of the chancellery here in berlin, it's angela merkel's office. the car had emblazoned upon it,

cite 2 messages on one side, saying you downed murderers of children and old people and on the other, stop the globalization policy. now the driver has been taken into custody. as we understand, there are no injuries at the scene. the car must have been going at it decent pace because it certainly does a little bit of damage to the, the outside of the chancery, which as you can imagine, it being the, the office of the german head of government is a pretty secure building. probably take more than a volkswagen golf to crush through those those fences, but they've certainly sustained a little bit of a little bit of damage as well. now, just yesterday angle, a miracle on the heads of the 16 german states, agreed new carona policy that will come into play for the next few weeks, perhaps as many as the next few months. it's understood and it's believed.

do apologize, i hope in the sound would come back that we've lost a connection with peter over in libya, you had the bulk of the story. then that car ramming into the security gates outside of angela merkel's office now turned to the news. another district of the disputed nagorno-karabakh region has been handed over to azerbaijan, the last armenian soldiers, they left the area all part of a russian brokered peace deal. but before the troops abandon their positions, civilians had fled. the war zone hearties mogas the of tells the story of some of those, the conflict has left homeless. everywhere you go, there is only desolation, despair, empty, burnt, and abandoned villages. rusty trucks palled with furniture, clothes, and hoopla, souls. there's no one left but the awed desperate stragglers. it's so painful, unbearably painful, your entire life you have been billed in step by step,

trying to make it a little more comfortable so you get something good sound only a tool has just disappeared. gun lit and her husband igor, for 17 years have made a hard living in the mountains raising cattle. when the barrow visited by john, the artillery became too much, they left everything but they ship a dog and fled. as did everyone they returned to find the village empty bund and looted littered with dead pets and animals who starve to death. when the humans left, those that survived came begging for food and will be filled with limited eagle for 3, desperate days. as they try to salvage what they could of their old lives belongings, hey, feel even empty barrels, things that many of us would see as trash. anything that would help them start over

. there's no choice for armenians to stay after the region has had to do that. too, is it about john? they claim it could be that death sentence. if a dog is killed on mistreated in europe, the whole world condemns it. what was our crime, and what did we do with it? no one even objected to all the civilians being killed here, where all the humanitarian groups that to cry and fall over animal cruelty, but have done nothing about the massacre here. little it was forced out of her home twice during the war in the ninety's when both armenia and azerbaijan accused each other of massacres and ethnic cleansing, the both denied it. this is the 3rd time she's lost, a house. she isn't a hateful person. she's a teacher, a mother, and most people would burn their houses so no. is it about johnny gets it? she couldn't stomach the thought. yes, i don't want to burn down my house. if someone wants it,

let them have it. even burn it for fun. my children were born in this house. they grew up on to this roof. i can't burn the memories. i can burn that part of my life . all the good and all the bad. it was all here. we are leaving tomorrow. but we don't know who will get the house to hell with them. i'm going to bunny down the bunny white town. a little it couldn't bear to watch. we found a weeping behind the house is the 5 is spread. what do you call this? is it sad? is it devastated? having to burn down a house you built? you loved you tended and raised 3 children in for 17 years because of the shape

of your face, the color of your skin, your creed, your culture, your faith. everyone here understands what's happening. this is the price i mean, eons of paying for backing doubt, accepting peace terms. despite their resistance, the thousands dead may have prevented a massacre and preserve some territories. but for a little it in the eagle. it was the end of life as they knew it, everything they had nude burned and gone as nothing comforting. you can say nothing to ease or dulled the pain. it's terrible to think anyone driving but to them. this is just another house. they won't even bat an eye. off the rule. dozens and dozens of villages have burned over the past week. of course, the season, just another house. it had a life. it was happening, it's and there was joy. there were t.

is and there was sadness. now, it's all over. more i guess the of from katie by john region. i was headed by john . in the meantime, armenian prime minister says that the russian peacekeeping mission could last longer than the 5 years currently in visioned under the ceasefire with azerbaijan. nicol passion, yan stress, the importance also of guaranteeing security and stability in the region. in the meantime, moscow sent an additional emergency team to nagorno-karabakh, including specialist equipment and vehicles. earlier russia has sent 45 tons of building materials through the capital, the plan i cared along with 300 tons of humanitarian aid. russia also launched a de mining operation in the area to enable people to safely return to their homes . ok, let's go back to that story that just came through this hour about a car ramming into the fence of chancellor angela merkel's office in berlin. there's been no immediate reports of casualties. we spoke earlier to our

correspondent in berlin. peter, all of it, let's get back to him. now we've restored the connection and this will be a good recap and a chance for you in just joining us to find out more about this story. peter, what details that we have of this incident? hello. yes. so early this morning on wednesday, a dark colored volkswagen golf crashed into the gates outside of the chancellery here in berlin. that's the office where angola merkel goes about her business and welcomes foreign dignitaries. the car had written down the side of it. you damned murderers of children and old people. and on the other side of it, stop the globalization policy. the driver was taken into custody by police and there's no reports of anybody being injured around the scene. however, the car must have been going at a pretty decent rate because it has caused some damage to the gates outside of the chancellery. as you would imagine, due to the importance of this building, it's

a pretty secure building. you must have been going at quite a rate in order to leave a mark on those gates. yesterday it comes after we saw, well before we get to yesterday will start what was going to be happening on wednesday morning. there was supposed to be a demonstration taking place by the lateral think is group there. the group that are opposed to angola merkel's policy, when it comes to the coronavirus, that they were supposed to be holding a rally at 9 am. that didn't take place then? well, this incident happened regarding the car. we also saw some demonstrations take place in frankfurt on tuesday. and we've seen these demonstrations against angela merkel saying coronavirus policy going on for weeks and months. now. sometimes they have turned violent. now just yesterday there was an agreement made between the chancellor, the government, the heads of government, of the states of germany, the 16 different states for what the policy would be going forward over the coming weeks in the coming months in fact. and we are expecting to hear from chancellor

merkel later on wednesday with what that will entail. now the car itself, how form or at least the registration plate relating to it. the german tabloid newspaper builder reporting that this particular registration, which is registered in the western german city of leap or was involved in an incident back in 2014 when the car was rammed into the chancellery, a 48 year old man was taken into custody. that time. no particular injuries reported at that time, the car had written down the side of it. stop the climate change. and nicole, i love you. so no message to nicole, this time it does seem like it's gone and there's been no injuries at the scene, but a 48 year old man if we're to believe it's the same person, it was driving the same car. he's currently in custody. after crashing that dark colored volkswagen into the gates outside of angela merkel's office. good luck getting insurance for that car in the future. many thanks for the update, peter oliver, in the yanks and the world is almost

a year into the go. the crisis scientists are still unsure though, what the best response to the pandemic is his. and he's done a whole kids with a quiz on what their options are. it's almost a year since the coronavirus entered our lives, and it's in no hurry to leave. everyone's affected in some way, and everyone seems to have become one hours of our all or just over the last 11 months. but how well do you really know your facts? and what are the experts saying? let's test your knowledge. if there's one symbol of 2020, it's the mask from moscow to madagascar government, some mandating wearing masks in one way or the other. just days ago, a scientific study in denmark, concluded mosques offer little protection for healthy individuals. and the study gives an indication of how much you gain from wear in the mosque, not a lot. so when you finally throw that mask away, not so fast. here's

a japanese study that states the opposite. we found that cotton masks, surgical masks, and, and 95 masks all have a protective effect with the respect to the transmission of infected droplets. aerosols of sars cove to both studies are reputable, and published by qualified professionals. they just come up with different conclusions and that's the problem. when it comes to any research on covert, you can find a study that will prove all disprove almost anything. how long is a piece of string? here's what the u.s. center for disease control has to say earlier, a system surfaces and the objects nature alludes to within hours to do this. slightly ambiguous but not a disaster. until you read a study by a stray as national science agency, which gives coded lifespan of 28 days in some cases. so i guess there's no right

answer. well, what about the incubation period? here's a little clue. the in commission period, you're referring to is anything can be anything between $1.14 days. commonsense 14 days is usually the maximum period. most countries around the world have quarantined new arrivals. all those potentially infected. so we all know this one right seems odd. got that one wrong as well. researches at trinity college dublin say the danger period could last up to 34 days. but let's get back to basics. we all know that smokers are more at risk of suffering complications from covert. here's a study. our study provides evidence supporting the utilization of smoking cessation programs, especially in younger populations, as part of a strategy to minimize the adverse consequences of the covert. 19 pandemic, common knowledge. after all, we all know that smoking is bad for you. so is it time you put that cigarettes out?

apparently some research is in france. they cigarette claiming nicotine is the answer. just to be clear, we obviously don't condone smoking or drunks. so as we approach the one year mark in the covert by endemic the best scientific minds in the world are united in their mission, billions of dollars thrown into research. all we any closer to seeing the back of this disease. it seems, despite all our best efforts that family gets away, will have to wait a little longer. and that's how the world of global news stands. thanks for joining us here in alt international. that's coming your way. just 30 minutes time. when i last saw seemed wrong, but i'll just don't call me world yet to see palin just

become active engagement because betray you. when something you find themselves worlds apart, we just of the common ground world is driven by the dares thing. we dare to ask it's been decades since the fall of spain's fascist regime,

but old wounds still haven't tailed into the sometimes winning because only from a gold medal feat a market economy seppo all of us at the source mean they would have an interest in the same question, which we know of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption. i don't only want to even fight for the stuff that i know to this day. mothers still search for grown children while looking in hope for their parents.

hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things are considered now for the post-mortem. how have the 2 major political parties changed in this election cycle? can joe biden maintain an already weakened by democratic coalition? is there such a thing as trump ism? did he change the g.o.p. or did she changed him? to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guest, nick brown in washington. he is the national coordinator with the movement for a people's party also in washington. we have arvind. well rock. he is a former libertarian party presidential candidate, as well as author of the book, pull out men modern life and mutiny. and in montreal, we have lauren chen. she is a you tuber and host of pseudo intellectual or across up rules. and in fact, that means you can jump in anytime you want and i'll.
