teenagers who pointed out to samuel patti's murderer, who he was there for allowing that beheading to take place. the 4th teenager who has also been indicted is said to have been the daughter of a broad this is the man who is widely regarded as being behind the media frenzy surrounding that lesson when some new party showed controversial cartoons of the muslim prophet that sparked anger in the local community, she has been indicted for slander. now all of 4 individuals have since been released, but they are being monitored by traditional controls. here in france, let's take a reminder of what happened. leading up to the murder of samuel pattie. one
9:03 am
of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compared to it was the victim of an islamist terror attack. well it's been a bit of a tangled web since that beheading of samuel patty, a number of individuals, have been hauled in front of the police. some have been charged, some have been let free others have in fact receive sentences and condemned for their part in the surrounding storm regarding that, including one mother who was sentenced for apparently celebrating his death in a facebook post. and a man from algeria who is condemned for glorifying terrorism. then by referring to samuel patty's death, there's also been this huge fallout. president machen was clear following the death of summer party that france wouldn't roll back from showing controversial images
9:04 am
when it comes to talking about freedom of speech that sparked huge protests in some muslim majority countries. people calling for a boycott of french goods and there's been anger in many muslim nations as well at the crackdown that we've seen here in france since summer, bateese murder, such as muslim associations being banned, disbanded, and also a mosque being closed. let's have a look at that reaction. needs a mental health treatment, rob god, my backyard, the he is a case and therefore he really needs to have mental checks that have nothing but the damage that
9:05 am
were present. my corn has been infuriated by some english language media saying that they have twisted his words over the last 2 months or so suggesting that he was attacking islam in some way, rather than islam ism. and there's been a huge amount of fake news, too. surrounding the new which is to crackdown on separatism here in france, including some journalists from highbrow publications or who have said that, you know, this new law will see muslim children being given id numbers like jewis were during the 2nd world war that's not true or tour and this new law to prevent children from missing out on the education, all children in france will be given this id. but the reality is that many muslims here in france feel that they are being singled out there being targeted, not just by this law, but by the for latifah. it's happened since senate patti's murder, and it's likely that this is an issue that is going to rumble on for some time.
9:06 am
now the pandemic is casting a grim shadow home for the festive season, including him. united states where the daily death rate is now higher than back in may, experts do say too that hospitals could be overwhelmed by christmas. and with american celebrating thanksgiving on thursday, president elect joe biden is asking people to limit their celebrations for our families, for 40 search years. for the summer. really tradition of traveling around the dish, you will be staying home and a whole used for grow family traditions. but it's so very important our country's in middle of a dramatic spike in cases where the latest polls do show that most people still intend to gather with their loved ones. although the figure has declined since september states across the u.s. though, are rolling out measures that will hamper celebration plans don't quarter. now
9:07 am
explain. thanksgiving is coming up in the u.s. and that means it's turkey time, although maybe not because 2020 is trying to find yet another way to ruin everybody's lives. there's a run on small turkeys, turkeys that are 10 to 14 pounds are in high demand right now. even if you're one of the few privileged enough to have a smaller turkey on your table this year, don't get too excited. this thanksgiving is supposed to be especially dangerous. with more people staying home for thanksgiving, more americans will be cooking at home for the 1st time. and some of them are stressed and with more amateur cooks hitting the kitchen this year. one firefighter's says it could be a recipe for disaster and case. that's not enough for you to stress about new york's governor. andrew cuomo capped the amount of people you can have to dinner at 10. i don't think you can get away with an extra straggler too. big brother cuomo was watching
9:08 am
while cuomo didn't seem to have any problem sacrificing other people's thanksgiving day when he urged families not to gather for the celebration. he himself invited his mother and 2 daughters home for the holiday. it wasn't long before he withdrew the invitation, but many people still aren't happy about that. cuomo is the worst governor in america. he's arrogant and he pull chrissy knows no bounds. do as i say. not as i do. pennsylvania's gathering limit isn't as draco nian as new york's but the state's alcohol ban is a trip in itself. bars and restaurants have already been ordered to halt all booze sales and some people just don't understand the relation. pennsylvania bans, alcohol, oregon legalizes hard drugs, 2020 is wild pennsylvania and just banned alcohol for one night. only before thanksgiving. what exactly are we come back to again and fire us alcoholism?
9:09 am
freedom nights before thanksgiving has historically been the biggest algal consuming night of the year. probably in preparation for the relatives, since you can't have them over this year, you would be getting drunk just for fun. oh and it probably goes without saying political discussions at the dinner table this year might not be the best idea that a great post-election conversations. the stress of a hectic year and contentious presidential election could still cause dina's to, to intense with all these new rules and restrictions, it's likely americans will have little more than their safety to be thankful for this year. one quarter that will professor of psychology, glenn dorsai, media specialist cameron thomas discussed whether people should be free to
9:10 am
celebrate the holiday as they place it comes to, you know, personal responsibility and you know, individuals who want to protect their families. i think it's a sign that people should step aside for thanksgiving this year and stay safe. i think bret realize asian is very important. i think freedom is very important and i thank our culture, you know, cultures vary on a lot of dimensions. the united states is known as what's a very loose culture and some americans feel that their referendum is being taken away by, by these measures. but you know, your life is a fair, fair price to pay thanksgiving in your life. i don't know what i choose from what i choose. i think i choose life, but what we're seeing now is so many americans not following the guidelines and not following the rules, is partly the fact that we do live in a loose culture where people are from a very small age,
9:11 am
very young age sort of encouraged to sort of make their own rules and force their own paths and life. hey, i'm very tired of it. i've been isolated. you know, i haven't seen my mom since april. yeah, i'm getting tired of that. but, you know, the bottom line is that there is this ranging pandemic out there. it's sad me actually i have tears in my eyes, seeing so many people being so irresponsible, you know, human beings will follow their emotions. and so i think there's a lot of people who are like, i know this isn't the right thing to do and you know, and one sense, but darn it, i'm doing it because i feel like i have to, lot of people are doing compromise. were supposed to sit next to each other, you know, arm next on shoulder necks, the shoulder cutting through dying stock and warrants in concerts, conditions, and is in a lot of ways, very unnatural. and i would argue, in a long term sense is very unhealthy. it's going to be the same next year. traditions are disappearing. they, you know, because traditions have grained in the, in the american psyche been going on for,
9:12 am
you know, hundreds of years. sacrificing one year is not going to make a difference. there's so many ways that you know, these current guidelines and conditions might be good from a public health standpoint and they are, do you think that there are any and to our emotional and social intramural health? and i feel like thanksgiving is really just, just like a really strict us example. facebook has made what it calls a temporary him urgency change to its algorithm in response to the u.s. presidential election. the social media giant says it's trying to eradicate misinformation, but one knock on effect does appear to be giving a preference to content that is pro joe biden. but a week after the election, some facebook stuff referring to the algorithm is the nice a news feed reportedly discussed the possibility of it becoming a permanent feature. because you don of examines now whether nicer means more
9:13 am
honest election fraud 2 words you would never associate with the united states of america. now a phrase that could send fists flying in the country, allegations of cheating have also outgrown the issue of a vote recount, as some republicans claim they've been called and elsewhere too on social media. you know, the people that, that i hear from, of course, believe that conservatives were wrongfully being silenced, while those on the left that were given basically a free rein of your platforms. and one of the points of contention that is often brought up is that you do recruit, have a leave from california, which leads to your employee base skewing quite heavily to the left. at 1st glance, the allegations that facebook's nonpartisan algorithms have been tweaked to give biden an upper hand don't seem too old after all, biden,
9:14 am
and his team have been rather unflattering towards the platform to say the least. i have never been a big fan of facebook as you probably know. i've never been a big zuckerberg fan, but the latest report suggests that this could all be smoke and mirrors, and that facebook is already buttering up the new white house landlord from promoting content which rubber stamps joe biden's talking points to secretly screwing up the traffic for publications, by non-mainstream and pro republican outlets. it resulted in a spike in visibility for big mainstream publishers like c.n.n. the new york times and national public radio, while posts from highly engaged hyper partisan pages such as breitbart and occupy democrats became less visible. facebook denies any bias explaining its strives to achieve balance to the best of its ability, but some actions speak louder,
9:15 am
suggesting a mutual affection. the supposedly facebook loathing joe biden doesn't seem to have a problem hiring from their roster. 'd 'd 'd 'd biden's deputy communications director also seems to have had a change of heart and deleted tweets, giving facebook a dressing down executive roles. he had permission as country to control who sees
9:16 am
what they censor. conservative news, big tech. it's been working towards this for 4 years, and it will be bored to ensure that joe biden wins their party is the democrat party. and so of course, joe biden is going to be stacking his transition team with members of the silicon valley cobol. so of course you're going to see former c.e.o.'s from facebook from, from other technology companies. they are, these are joe biden's people. big hack is for the democrats and look what we've got coming up now. we've got 4 years of the media, which is going to be happy dogs when i or people know thing to criticize here. we're already gearing up in this country for a return to the swamp. as we call it a return to normalcy. return to warmongering, a return to big pharma, a return to all these industries that love the democrats that love globalization, and they got their man and with joe biden. previously, facebook has repeatedly found itself in hot water with the u.s. authorities. it seems this time the giant has finally learned its lesson and is

preemptively raising the hand that could very soon be feeding it to the head peterson football fans around the world are still mourning the death of football legend the a gay marriage donna who died of a heart attack on wednesday after the bright, we'll take a look back at the amazing life of argentina's golden bowl. how do you price value? how do you value prices? but that makes up an economy. and all we've been saying for 10 years now is that if you use g.m. money as the underlying unit of measure, you're going to end up disappointed and in the casino as they've been describing. and there's this happening right now. you need real money. gold is real money, but it's not really as good as they call it is the real thing.
9:18 am
when almost chokes, seem wrong? well, we just don't call me yet to shape out these days to come out to and engage me because betrayal when something find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. welcome back. now, russia's top diplomat has called that the council of europe drifting away from its purpose of promoting unity,
9:19 am
calling the body dangerously politicized. let's get more now from our party's down hawking's who's following the story for us. good evening, dan. what else then did mr. lavrov have to say, also offers in the closing stages of a working visit, the russian capital minsk, where he's meeting his counterpart in my case, and the 2 officials discussed there both internal events and barroso over the past few months as well as of course the, your ongoing relationship between moscow and minsk now were very critical at the press conference after that meeting about what he described as russophobe comments by the german foreign foreign minister. high court, which he described as a crude and undiplomatic heiko mass, presented his program for the coming 6 months in the politicized fashion. striking an unacceptable tone, i would even go as far as saying it was rude. not how a diplomat should act. he made quite a few recent remarks. again, they were baseless risa phobic accusations regarding crimea abkhazia south to set
9:20 am
a year transnistria and the southeast of ukraine. of course, referring to the speech that gave that last wednesday rather up that meeting of the chemical committee of the council of europe, germany will shortly take presidency there. that organization, any speech, was very quick to call on the number of points 1st and foremost the reunification of russia and crimea, which the german foreign minister described as a violation of international law. and that event has certainly been a bone of contention between europe and russia for quite some time with moscow. viewing this as a democratic transition. next to germany's top diplomat pointed the finger at russia's involvement in the conflict between georgia and south. as well as the presence of russian peacekeeping troops in the breakaway transistor region of moldova, the level of force, quick to return. some of that criticism, both foreign ministers noted western involvement in but
9:21 am
a russian internal affairs in particular following that presidential election in august. and the ensuing political crisis, which is ongoing until this day. the 2 ministers also accused western powers of arranging, sponsoring, supporting so-called color revolutions across countries which failed to take western line and here to political pressure. now, among other topics, one of the key things that took center stage was arms control. unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of good news on that front with mr. glover, of stating that there wasn't a lot to talk about with the outgoing us administration, just with the trumpet, ministration. currently at the helm. i don't see how we could agree on anything in earnest regarding arms control. we don't know yet who the next administration will be comprised of. we'll see how those people will mold us policies after the 21st of january. while the relations between russia and the e.u. on the us have been bumpy over the last few years, just to say the very least. so a lot of this rhetoric really isn't new or surprising. but with some of those very
9:22 am
key issues taking center stage, like i said, the arms treaty in particular, the open skies treaty, which the u.s. has withdrawn from very recently. and those are issues which officials will be keeping a very close eye on. and wanted to talk to me to say there could be an improvement with the relations with the incoming new u.s. administration. certainly it's a chance for both sides to take a step back and perhaps take a fresh look at some of those issues and see if a compromise on any of them can be reached. ok, thank you, dan. it was artie's down, hawkins, that they are. he said behind the freedom of information act is calling for a probe into water. a new report is described as an orwellian unit within the government. this is accused of intentionally obstructing the release of potentially sensitive data. partridge reports. a storm is brewing in the u.k. about freedom of information with a new government, a new report by open democracy describes a so-called all well, you know,
9:23 am
it's called the clearinghouse that obstructs media requests and even blacklist journalists clearing house shares with a range of whitehall departments a daily update containing the names of journalists and complain as the requests they have submitted and advice on how referring to pardons should respond fast in the year 2000, the freedom of information act was meant to open up the workings of government requests for information were supposed to remain anonymous or applicant blind and in theory could help keep the author. it is a check. but according to this report, the cabinet now rejects more requests than ever. the government was trying to keep it under wraps of this year's existed and investigation has led to the conclusion that it does exist. and obviously, there are lots of questions to be asked about what is supposed to be doing under what the, you know, what was certain up freedom of information act was passed 20 years ago. and in
9:24 am
theory, when people make applications, intermissions from the government, it's supposed to be neutral, who's applying the not supposed to care who's asking for it. but what this unit is doing is it's collating all of the requests. and the ones which are serious, the ones which are going to uncover. but potentially government malfeasance are being referred to this unit, which is being kept secret, but it's actually under the cap in the cabinet office being run. boy michael good. actually got aspirations to being prime minister, as we all know. number 10 says the consideration of foia requests remains applicant and motive behind. and the clearing house unit remains fully compliant. but there is growing criticism within westminster labor peer lord clarke of when dimia was instrumental in the act to becoming a law and is now calling for a government investigation into the controversial unit. along with politicians across the spectrum. this clearing house is certainly against the spirit of that
9:25 am
act, and probably the letter to ministers should explain to the house of commons precisely why they continue with this set up in view of the fact that it is contradictory to the whole purpose of freedom of information this is extremely troubling if the cabinet office is interfering in f. or i requests and seeking to work around their requirements of the act by a blacklist enjoying this, it is a grave threat to our values and transparency in our democracy. yet this storm over the law has been brewing since it was past 20 years ago, under tony blair's government. after the then prime minister discovered that governments couldn't discuss any issues with a reasonable level of confidentiality. and freedom of information was mainly used by journalists. he cursed himself, you idiot, you naive, foolish, irresponsible nincompoop. there is really no description of stupidity no matter how vivid it is adequate. i quake in the imbecility of it. for political leaders, it's like saying to someone who's hitting you over the head with
9:26 am
a stick. try this instead, and handing him a mallet. now it seems, boris johnson's government is also trying to put the lid back on the pandora's box, that the british public are legally entitled to open. a partridge party loved football fans around the world are mourning. the death of the argentinian legend, the a marathoner. the football star passed away at his home. when his aires, after suffering a heart attack, he was 60 years old, where crowds have been gathering in argentina's capital to pay their tributes to marathoner. the government is also to create 3 days of national mourning after the announcement of his death, famous for his outstanding ability on the field. he was also infamous for his antics and troubles off it. he will be remembered as one of the all time greats of the game and will be missed by fans all over the world.
9:27 am
9:28 am
look, people can empathize because you said you have because of weight gain from him and the levee ability gave so many people, especially those obvious time country and save the trade that, you know, if he could do that, he could come from that place and gamble this way that, that we could as well and the white house, if he wore his heart on the slave, i think you getting that it looked at that connection, especially with fans of the teams if you like or dislike that about that. and i think even, you know, some of maybe he's most that, you know, you could say odd and enemies if you like. while he was playing football like fans
9:29 am
of other teams or. ringback maybe other players, managers, date down big grudgingly, you know, during that time, you know, would have not 9 times out of 1010 times out of 10 would have had him on their own team sheet if they could have been, as such, is the nature of hope or but that, that relationship really do think it does come down to that such as something as simple as that. but the fact that you know football is the people's game. and people love when they see their stars with their plays, with their heart on the sleeve. and he not only played like that, but you leave his life like that. not dead at the age of 60. and that's how the news is looking so far today. and i say just coming up to the last 5 in moscow, more from us at the top of the book because humans were geared for, you know, millions of years to build up an emotional one. when the communication happens
9:30 am
within 10 milliseconds in skype and zoom and all that have to strike that because it takes about 260 milliseconds, just flew us to talk. now if we're together in the same room, you know, this emotional bond between us is very different in the slightest. she will bring this box then what bargain that he will go back to will go on or yours will pull you out of it, obit and him up. and then what about and i didn't do it will always be the good is it? i thought it was no, oh no, i'm going to go home on a puff. you can only keep it or don't or don't let you. people come up with proof
