president rafael correa. he knew the world cup winner self was from a poor family, so he knew 1st hand what it was like, living in hartshorne hill. we saw it as these duty to change something. that's what gave him a close relationship and sympathy from progressive leaders in latin america. going cold turkey coated restrictions threaten to pump the brakes on funks, giving celebrations to many americans face the dilemma with loved ones played by the rules most go to the world. this is our to international, your company i'm, you know, neil. we begin in france, where for teenagers have reportedly been charged in connection with the brute

beheading of a teacher rocked the country last month, thought to be among them, the daughter of a man behind an online campaign against something called party samuel was killed after using cartoons of the prophet muhammad to debate freedom of speech in the lesson. charlotte dubin ski, our correspondent in paris, has more. 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 parties 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 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 4 individuals have since been released, but they are being monitored by controls. here in france. let's take a reminder of what happened. leading up to the murder of samuel patti. one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compared to it was the victim of an islamist terror attack. 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 firing terrorism again by referring to samuel patti's death. there's also been this huge fallout. president mcewan was clear following the death of senator patty, 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 and that he is a case and therefore, he really needs to have mental checks have enough were

present my corn has being 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. islam, 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 forelock force happened since summer, patti's murder, and it's likely that this is an issue that is going to rumble on for some time. for farms around the world are mourning the death of argentinean legend. do you go, margaret? although you pass the way out is home in buenos aires on wednesday after suffering a heart attack. you know what clashes have erupted in the argentine capital or thousands of people are being gathering to pay their respects to the world cup

winner. police reportedly used rubber bullets tear us against who were demanding more time to say their for a wells to the legendary r t journalists covering the story were injured as well. one was hit by a stone, another i was a people have been mourning, not only in argentina, but i run the world in the italian city of naples, paulo stadium waving flags, singing club songs. they can give it to their late star,

the night sky also turn bright red as supporters settle flurries in tribute, more adele and played for not believe between 19041901 helping the club to win the league title for the 1st time in its history. he won 2 titles there indeed, famed for his astonishing ability on the field. maradona is also infamous for his antics and troubles all fits. he will be remembered as one of the all time greats will be missed by fans all over the world.

i never thought this day would come. my 1st idol is gone. my only idol is the greatest of all of the master football. the one who gave us a everything. and i'm the man. when i heard about it, i died with him. that's what happened to me

other wasn't just in the world of sports, diego maradona touched hearts. he was also idolized by people from all of spears of society in his native lot. in america, we spoke to former ecuadorian president rafael correa, who became close with the footballing legend. he described as a rebel fighting against injustice, some hypocrisy. this is a loss for the whole world for the entire argentinean nation. it's a catastrophe. you can't even imagine how maradona as adored when he did so much for the country at the 86 world cup in mexico. i wasn't at that world cup, but i was in italy in the 90s when maradona played for napoli. he was adored, especially in southern italy, so much so that even during the argentina, italy match. many italians supported argentina because of the number 10 because of diego armando. without doubt, he was a leader, a leader that never hid his political leanings, he was in favor of progressive politics. but even if you lean toward the right,

it wouldn't matter. because 1st and foremost were his personal qualities, his honesty, his leadership, his habit of seeing what he thought, one way or another in a was a warrior for social justice. he was a rubble and fought against injustice and hypocrisy of the world order. he himself was from a poor family, so he knew 1st hand what it was like, living in hardship. and here we saw it as he's duty to change something. that's what gave him a close relationship and sympathy from progressive leaders in latin america like that all castro, cuba child. it's ever more else. mr. and the man you're speaking with right now. but the overwhelming majority of the argentinean people in one origin, china very well. not only love but worship diego armando. there's even a church in his name. and if he was a legend while he was still alive, the now when he has raced past us and left this world, he's playing football up there in the heavens. with those who have also left us, the legend has become a myth. understand there, diego is

a mythical character for argentina, and much of the world. the pandemic is casting, a grim shadow over the festive season, including in the u.s., where they dealy death rate is now higher than joining the initial peak in may. experts say that hospitals could be overwhelmed by christmas and with americans marking thanksgiving on thursday, president elect joe biden is asking people to limit their celebrations. for families, for 40, such is 40, some really tradition traveling overseas. but this year will be on the whole used for growth family traditions. but it's so very important for countries in the middle of a dramatic spike in cases is the public listening though the latest polls show. 'd that most people still intend to gather with their loved ones. on thanksgiving,

though, they figure out the kleins since the same question was asked in september and states across the u.s. have been ruling on measures to stop. celebration. thursday as double quarter reports of 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 hahn drugs 2020 is wild pennsylvania and just banned alcohol

for one night. only before thanksgiving. what exactly are we combating 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 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. yet, thanksgiving a couple of hours in should people be free to be celebrating the whole day as they please? we discuss that's with a number of guests. 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 relaxation is very important. i think freedom is very important. 'd and i thank our culture, you know, cultures very 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, 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 nonsense, but darn it,

i'm doing it because i feel like i have to, it's going to be the same next year. traditions are disappearing. they, you know, these traditions have been great 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 these, you know, these current guidelines and conditions might be good from a public health standpoint and they are. but i do think that they're cutting into our motional and social and should merely ill health. and i feel like thanksgiving is really just, just like a really conspicuous example of that particular problem. joe biden seems to be the winner, not just of the recent american election, but of facebook's latest efforts to tackle fake news, which critics say is proving far too friendly to the president elect more in the top.

how do you price value? how do you value prices that makes up an economy we've been saying for 10 years now, is that if you money as the underlying unit of measure, you're going to end up disappointed in the casino as we'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 big. going is the real thing seemed wrong. but just don't let me get to seep out of the attic and engagement equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. facebook

has made what it calls a temporary emergency change to its algorithm in response to the us presidential election. the social media giant ses, it's trying to eradicate misinformation, but one knock on effect appears to be giving a preference the content that's considered less critical of joe biden. a week after the election, some facebook stuff referring to the algorithm of the nicer news feed, reportedly discussed. the possibility of it becoming permanent. examines whether nice or means more almost, or not. 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 conned elsewhere too. on social media. you know, the people there 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 to your platforms. 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, 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 tight 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 the roster. ready ready

'd biden's deputy communications director also seems to have had a change of heart and deleted tweets, giving facebook a dressing down big check, a general permission this country. they 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. so of course we're going to see former c.e.o.'s from facebook from from other technology companies. they are, these are joe biden people, 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 their hand that could very soon be feeding it. russia's top diplomat has called the council of europe for drifting away from its purpose of promoting unity, calling the body dangerously politicized. there's artie's, danny hawkins with 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, muscle 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 risa,

phobic accusations regarding crimea abkhazia south to set a year transnistria and the southeast of ukraine. the level of there was referring to comments that high call mass made to at the meeting of the committee of the council of europe, which germany is due to take presidency off shortly. in his speech mass was very critical of a number of points, 1st and foremost, crime 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, 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 other countries and 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. among other topics was the arms control treaties. that 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 let me start 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. 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, it is charts for both sides to take a step back and have a fresh look at the situation to the u.k. where the architect behind their freedom of information act is calling for a probe into what in your report is the scribe as an orwellian unit within the british government, london's being accused of deliberately obstructing the release of potentially sensitive data, a partridge story. 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 yet new. 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 state, the central government departments. and indeed, the cabinet office here, which has kind of custody of the issue of freedom of 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 a very scene, 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 act 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 f. or i requests and seeking to work around their requirements of the act by blacklisting join. they say it is a grave threat to our values and transparency in our democracy. yes, 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 it is adequate. i quake in the imbecility of 8 political leaders. it's like saying to someone who's hitting you over the head with a stick. try this instead, and 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, r.t., r t russian host. maria burton has released the book about her time spent in a u.s., prison. ria was a gun rights lobbyist in washington d.c., but was charged with espionage back in 28. she's saying she was pressured into signing a plane ticket,

which led to her being given an 18 month sentence and believes she was targeted for being russian. rio was later deported back to moscow. she began writing while behind bars in tallahassee, florida notes that have become the basis for her book titled, a prison diary. ray is now a member of russia's human rights council and takes part in numerous projects that help russian nationals who find themselves in trouble abroad. or great programs get their start in moments here on or on. if you'd like to delve a little deeper into any of this. our stories are to dot com as always, you covered by for humans. you know, millions of years build up an emotional one. when the communication happens with 10000000 syrians in destroying that because it takes about 60000000 seconds just now when you get to the same room, you know,

this emotional bond between us is very different in britain just back by their own back. stars are happy thanksgiving. are you having fun with your family, talking about all the political things and the fact you did by 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 in co bed might offer.
