content that supports joe biden. hello, good evening. you're watching r.t. international. now we're starting in france where 4 teenagers have been reportedly charged in connection with the beheading of a teacher that rocked the country back in october. thought to be among them. the daughter of a man behind an online campaign against your party. he was killed after showing his students controversial cartoons of the prophet mohammed in a lesson on free speech. shawn adkins reports now from paris. well, 3 of the individuals are said to be 1314 years old, and they have been indicted for complicity in a terrorist assassination. and that's because they're said to have been the 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 brian chin. now, this is the man who is widely regarded as being behind the media frenzy surrounding that lesson. when samuel patti 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 patty on one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compared to it was the victim of an islamist terror attack.

was 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. again, by referring to samuel patti's death, there's also been this huge fallout president was clear following the death of some your party that france wouldn't roll back from showing controversial images when it comes to talking about freedom of speech that sparked huge protests in some muslim majority. countries needs a mental health treatment because

he is a case and therefore he really needs to have mental checks have enough as far as the the well president, my corn has being inferior ated 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 crack down on separatism here in france. but the reality is that many muslims here in france feel that they are being singled out, they are being targeted, not just by this law, but by the 4 latifah has happened since summit, patti's murder,

and it's likely that this is an issue that is going to rumble on for some time. now the pandemic is casting a grim shadow home for the festive season, including in the united states, where the daily death rate is now higher than back in may. experts do say to that hospitals could be overwhelmed by christmas. with american celebrating thanksgiving on thursday, president elect joe biden is asking people to limit their celebrations for our family. for 40 searches for the summer tradition of traveling north on a whole harder for grow family traditions. but a small, very important for countries in the 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 do hamper celebration plans don't quarter explains 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

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. that 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 put christie 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? 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 turn tense. with all these new rules and restrictions, it's likely americans will have little more than their safety to be thankful for this year. don't quarter that professor of psychology. a media specialist,

cameron thomas discussed whether people should be free to 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 was a very loose culture and some americans feel that their own 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 what we're seeing now as 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, very young age,

sort of and courage 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. we're supposed to sit next to each other, you know, arm next on shoulder next to 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 grain in the, in the american psyche been going on for, 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, they do think that they're cutting into our emotional and social intramural health . and i feel like thanksgiving is really just, just like a really strict us example. probably football fans around the world are mourning the death of the argentinian legend. diego maradona, the football star passed away at his home and when his aires, after suffering a heart attack yesterday, he was just 60 years old, or crowds have been gathering in argentina's capital to pay their tributes to marathoner. the government is also declared $3.00 days of national mourning, famous for his outstanding ability on the field. he was also infamous for his

antics and troubles off it all though he will be remembered as one of the all time greats of the game. and we missed by fans all over the world. i never thought this day would come. my 1st title is gone. my only idol is the greatest of all the monster football. the one who gave the same every thing. my manager, when i heard about it and died with him, that's what happened to me. a

lot of people can empathize with you because you said you have because of the way he came from and the levee ability gave so many people, especially those obvious time country wasn't save the trade that you know if he could do that, he could come from that place and gumbel this way that, that we could as well. and the way that he wore his heart on the slave,

i think you giving that it looked at that connection, especially with fans of the teams. if you like or dislike doubt about that. i think even, you know, some of the, maybe most, you know, you can say ardent enemies if you like. while he was playing football like fans of other teams or maybe of apply. maybe just like a date down big grudgingly, you know, during that time, you know, would it not 9 times out of $1010.00 times out of 10 would have heavy on their own team sheet if they could have such is the nature for paul. but that relationship really do think it does come down to that subject. 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 players, but harmlessly them either only play it like that. but you lose life like that. facebook has made what it cost a temporary emergency change. she was algorithm him response to the u.s.

presidential election. the social media giant says it is trying to eradicate misinformation, but one knock on effect does appear to be giving a preference to content that is pro joe biden. but week after the election, some facebook staff referring to the algorithm is the nice thing feed from portably, discuss the possibility of it becoming a permanent feature he goes down of, examines now whether nicer means more 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 are have been tweaked to give biden an upper hand. don't seem too old after all, biden, 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, suggesting a mutual affection. the supposedly facebook loathing joe biden doesn't seem to have a problem hiring from their roster. '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. we have permission this country to control who sees 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 tax 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 war mongering, 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. russia's top diplomat is called at the council of europe, drifting away from its purpose of promoting unity, calling the body dangerously politicize. the whole kids as more russian foreign minister, sergei lavrov is in the closing stages of a working visit to minsk where he met his. but a russian counterpart, foreign minister and the 2 officials, this cussing both internal events in belarus over the past few months as well as of course relations between minsk and moscow. now,

mr. lovell in the press conference after that meeting was very critical of his german counterpart, high call must in particular comments he made at the meeting of the committee of ministers of the council of europe. comments which level of described as rude and outright russophobe it 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 remarks. again, they were baseless accusations regarding crimea, abkhazia south to set a year transnistria and the southeast of ukraine. the level of there was referring to comments that may need to at the meeting of the committee of the council of europe, which germany is you take presidency off shortly in his speech mass was very critical of a number of points, 1st and foremost, crum years reunification with russia, which the german foreign minister described as a violation of international law. that event has of course, been

a huge bone of contention between europe and russia. for quite some time. russia views, things very differently, stating that reunification took place democratically after a referendum on the peninsula. germany's top diplomat was also quick to point the finger at other issues. russia's involvement in the conflict between georgia and south ossetia as well as the presence of russian peacekeeping troops in the breakaway moldovan region of transistor trio. the lover of was very quick to return some of the criticism as well. both foreign ministers in fact noted the amount of western involvement in the country's internal affairs, most notably in belarus, following that presidential election in august and the political turmoil that ensued in the country that's carrying on until this day. the 2 also accused western powers of sponsoring and supporting so-called colored revolutions movements,

political movements in countries that don't toe the western line and don't give in to political pressure from abroad. among other topics was the arms control treaties that very much took center stage and there's not much good news on that front. with lover of stating there wasn't a lot to be discussed and not a lot of agreement could be reached on those issues 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 relations between russia and the e.u. . and us certainly have been bumping over the last few years to say the very least . so a lot of this rhetoric we're hearing is neither new nor surprising. but with a lot of these issues in particular, arms control the open skies treaty, which the u.s. pulled out from very recently, becoming salient over the past weeks and months. it's hoped that with the new

incoming u.s. administration, while an improvement in relations perhaps is too much to hope for that would be too optimistic. it is charts for both sides that take a step back and have a fresh look at the situation and see if any compromises on those issues can be reached. somebody is reporting then the architect behind the freedom of information act is calling for a probe into what a new report is described as an orwellian unit within the u.k. government. this is accused of deliberately obstructing the release of potentially sensitive data, a partridge. as more 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. oh, well you, 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 departments should respond past in the year 2000. and 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 oath or it's easy to check. but according to this reports, the cabinet now rejects more requests that have in general more requests to turn down, then responded to positively by the say, the central government departments. and indeed, the cabinet office here, which has kind of custody of the issue of free to get information in this country. there was bad as, as the others, if not worse, in many ways. and one of the key issues is that this is a regulated by something called the information commissioner's office and they have a huge backlog. their resources have been slashed over the past decade and they don't even really to keep up with the complaints as when they come in, off government promise failing to respond. and the irony is that the government

department is responsible for its budgets. and for the very few seen, the agency generally is the cabinet office. number 10 says the consideration of foia requests remains applicant and most defined and the clearing house unit remains fully compliant. but there is growing criticism within westminster labor peer lord, clock of when dimia was instrumental in the becoming a law and is now calling for a government investigation into the controversial yunis, along with politicians across the spectrum. this clearing house is certainly against the spirit of that act, and probably the latter 2 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 requests and seeking to work or rather requirements of the act by blacklisting. join 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 know eve, foolish, irresponsible nincompoop. there is really no description of stupidity no matter how vivid that 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 a stick. hey, try this instead. and handing him a magnet. 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. partridge party. loved it. thanks for the company tonight. just coming up to half past 6 in the evening in moscow, we'll have more stories for news usually in about elf. then

what i reckon that he will go back, i'll go out for you boys will pull you out of the mouth and say what about and i didn't do it will always be the good. is it also on a punishment? little bit deeper that are done or done much that people come up to the group to keep on going about mad at them and the minimum time because i'm not bad with the internet, but oh november, did i say eyes of them? they're down to the point about it. being as high as it is about

seal, welcome, you should all waltz. you normal god holds. a member real world will know will show up on the open or just when your vocal chords are below was a march toward was to be with a boy in the streets and all you would use new york city. but i'm still a little coochie explaining the surat over to us. one of the morning sun didn't want it and you don't want it any further. that is, which gets to be on the local, which is the base on what you all are one with your leanings luther's to start to look at your bullshit

you know, with their imax stars are happy thanksgiving. are you having fun with your family? talking about all the political things and the fact that you didn't buy bitcoin the last 9 or 8 years when we were talking about it right here. well, max, it is thanksgiving in the united states of america, people are not supposed to be having meals with their family today because of the lockdown and code red.
