to this day, mothers still search for grown children for their parents. violence reignites and paris over a controversial bill that might restrict the public and media from filming police. officers with malicious intent poses to burn israeli and american flags in condemnation of the killing of iran's leading scientists, which tehran was quick to blame on its old arch enemy. so president elect joe biden packs his cabinet with concern about washington's intentions abroad.

welcome you watching the weekly here on r.t. international first overnight, the french capital saw protesters venting their anger at a new security. believe the filming of the police with malicious intent of this is dispersed, the crowd would tear gas. the country's interior minister says that dozens of police officers were injured.

we've seen those tensions throughout the day as the protests, all tens of thousands of people take part. and now it seems that there are just perhaps a few, 100 people who are holding out the police are trying to disperse them, but there is a huge security presence a. and so when you get a look down the street from where we are, and you can just see that there are rows and rows of c.r.'s vans. that gives you a sense of how many officers there are. in fact, just behind us, it looks like a water cannon is being moved away. these were brought out this one over to the other side as well. these were poor type for the protests today. but these protests that started off a peacefully once again descended into violence here in paris though, these protests have been going for the last 3 weeks. but this has been the big one

. and this is because, earlier this week, parliamentarian's here from this past the 1st stage of this really controversial law called the global security, nor now it contains an article also called 24, which if this becomes a would criminalize the taking of images of the police and then publishing these, these images, if there is intent to harm the police offices, this could ensure that he's argument is going to be able to continue filming. the answer is yes. are they going to be able to continue broadcasting? the answer is you to be allowed to feel the police intervention. the answer is yes . will the prosecutor? the answer is yes. intent is a concept that is open to interpretation and hard to determine any photos or video showing a dent a fireball police officers that are published or broadcast by critical media outlets or are accompanied by critical comments,

could find themselves being accused of seeking to harm these police officers, for journalists, the legal risk exists, and the possibility of conviction would be real. it is not law yet. it's just passed the 1st hurdle. but people say that this gives the green light for the police to stop journalists from doing their job. the government says this moor is intended to give new security and protection to the police. and in fact, that's what one police officer said to us earlier this evening. this is about protecting them from the threats that they're facing in police. unions say the law doesn't go far enough, but the reality is, this has provoked huge, not just here in paris, but across the country where they would protest taking place against this. people who want to make sure that the government is aware that they are not happy with the law that they feel will restrict their freedoms and their rights in terms of liberty and that has spilled over into, i'll get, we saw fireworks being used as the weapon of choice by the protesters,

throwing those at the police in fact. so some images of what this photo it's appeared to be detonating under the feet of the police officers. we've seen the protesters setting fire to the bank of fronts. pins, huge choice being lit in the street and of course tear gas has rained down clouds of that surrounding the area around the busty. and it seems that while the majority of the tensions are over, there is still that hard core group who are now being kept in that one area not far from where we are. and it looks like the police are trying to control that situation and get people to move at the, for the moment. tension still high in parts of paris as there are those protests against this controversial, the global security will. protesters in the iranian capital have been, does really, and american flanks decrying the killing of the country's top nuclear scientist

which tehran blubs on israel to mistreat as were demanding retaliation for up to runs. foreign minister, branded an act of state terror. and a researcher was dubbed the father of iran's atomic program. his fate is killing, could actually affect the already full training of around a nuclear deal. the unresolved assassination of one of iran's top nuclear scientists, or in the words of tehran. a terror attack carried out by the mercenaries of the usurping zionist regime. military. you don't know who the people of iran are smarter and wiser than falling into the trap of design is conspiracy. they are

thinking of creating chaos. they should know that we already know their tricks, and they will not succeed in achieving their evil goals as both the zionist regime and those who are against iran. should know that the path of the country's development, the path of the country's research will continue rapidly. terrorists murdered an eminent iranian scientists today. this cowardice with serious indications of his radio shows desperate woman gring of perpetrators. iran calls on international community and especially e.u. to end the shameful double standards and condemn this act of state tara iran's accusations have yet to evoke a response from israel. but this isn't exactly a unique situation. many times over the past 10 years, iran's nuclear scientists have been the victims of mysterious assassinations and to iran is almost always convinced israel was behind it.

israel's refusal to comment on the attacks has been common to all the 2018. the country's prime minister claims the recently assassinated fuckers a day wasn't just a scientist knelt the head of an alleged nuclear weapons program in number, the new focus of the. so here's his director right here and uses.

the generally is to announce the closure project. the mode, but then he adds special activities. you know what that is? special activities will be carried out under the title of scientific know how developments. and in fact, this is exactly what iran proceeded to do. ron however, has always said it in rich's uranium for peaceful purposes only. we are not seeking nuclear weapons. even if the collapses we won't seek nuclear weapons. if the safeguard agreement is destroyed, we won't seek nuclear weapons. if i relations with the i a is good or bad, we won't seek nuclear weapons. as in years before, experts on both sides of the barricades are not seeing eye to eye. of course this assassination is illegal and it's an act of war. when that's the aspires, arrested in iran or in a terrorist is arrested in iran, immediately western human rights organizations, governments, the media pundits,

experts all say that they're innocent as if they have some sort of insider information. yet when bees attacks are carried out, these attacks are carried out with the help of spies with the help of terrorists, and they gloat over it. and instead of condemning it, they go and you know, they try to make him look as if he's evil, these lows will respond. so you cannot put the blame on news. will everything disposable in the middle east? a run in prison, these bodies in the lead them identify them and if they claim that he's behind it, let's see if those people are really israelis. i use it right though i very much in 2015, iran even agreed to limit its nuclear activities for the lifting of u.s., sanctions. it was part of the j. c.p.o., a deal between to iran, washington, russia, and other world powers the same deal that donald trump scrapped as the war steel ever in 2018. and to the great praise of israel,

i went through how the last administration was disastrous. iran, if i didn't terminate that stupid. the deal was a disaster. the agreement that was side was a disaster trumps withdrawal. drew a whirlwind of criticism throughout the globe and relations between the u.s. and iran are now at rock bottom. iran has even proclaimed to the un, it has the right to defend itself from provocations, both from israel and the u.s., but with joe biden preparing to take the throne. european powers have already sat down with him to rehash the deal with germany specifically urging all parties to avoid an escalation at any cost. a few weeks before the new u.s. administration takes office. it is important to preserve the scope for talks with iran, so that the dispute over iran's nuclear program can be resolved through negotiations . we therefore urge all parties to refrain from any steps that could lead to a further escalation of the situation. biden himself even said he's considering diplomacy would offer to iran a credible pause. but to diplomacy,

if iran returns to strict compliance with the nuclear deal, the united states would rejoin the agreements as a starting point for follow on negotiations. with our allies, we will work to strengthen and extend the nuclear deals provisions while also addressing other issues of concern. while iran definitely has plenty of concerns, especially after a 2nd top official, was assassinated in just one year. but who knows, maybe washington's new look could rebuild the ruins of the j. c.p.o. a and even under a biden administration, that there the purpose of u.s. foreign policy in the middle east. it's to regain hedge of money over the entire region, including iran, which it lost in the islamic revolution, which overthrow overly that dictator, the shah. and so they would, the game is hedge of money dominance and whether it's trump or biden,, that they, that is the game. also this week in the u.s.,

joe biden announced his top cabinet picks for the white house. he said that the world has its hopes resting on his team to restore america's historic role as a global leader. together these public servants will restore america globally scribal leadership and its moral leadership without engaging in needless military conflicts and our adversaries in check and cherished at bay while team trumps. not giving up all hope of overturning the election result. it has now given the green light to allow a transition to begin, a clearer picture is emerging of what the biden ministration will look like as well . and as it turns out, there are many old faces they've been trying to explains. 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. blaine can 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, let's 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. destruction of the stream to energy pipeline is to begin again after a year long break in defiance of u.s. sanctions. stunt story. a moment after the break,

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics, sports business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. it's certainly being isolated. it's not good for your mental health. not good for your general physiological status. i'm a make you more fully when you get infected. there's also the issue of cross immune to cheat with both a coronavirus is if you're not saying it's all supposed to explore, suppose you may be more to soft toll free to shoot you in the future. so i certainly do not think lockdowns are good for people's health and their family back to people's mental

welcome back this week, russian peacekeepers conducted a day mining operation in the disputed. they're going to care about region that as refugees from both sides return johnnie's came back to territories ceded under the peace agreement, having spent decades in neighboring areas of our lives, in order here in the neighboring town. but all this had come in our hearts. we all this anticipated the davy would return on their aid. after 27 years, i have returned to my x. down, my joy kemah be expressed by words, but i couldn't, and to my house because of land mines placed there. armenians to have been

returning to the disputed regions. capital accompanied by russian peacekeepers. hostilities may have ended, but unexploded shells still pose a grave threat. everyone. whatever nationality or senior correspondent gets the air for reports on the clearance operation. the sheer intensity of this war, the sheer quantity of me sells ammunition bombs used are astounding. the sad truth is that it will take years to find it, make safe. every unexploded munition footage visited by john, raining cluster bombs and cities and towns in the garden. a car, a buck sparked outrage, but adds, rage dissipates, and evaporates, cluster bombs, don't. we are ready for anything, especially air drop bombs and cluster munitions. often rounds of drops too low,

or don't have enough rotation speed. and they wind up unexploded in people's gardens or kids playgrounds, or they could be at previous military outposts. the soldiers may have left, but the munitions remained. russian engineers and sappers part of the peacekeeper contingent have been tasked with the mining operations other than daily patrols and roads in iraq outposts. they also assist local sappers. there's plenty of work for both. what complicates matters even further is that we are 1000, the middle of nowhere. you can't very well blew every unexploded shell up. we have right next to the city of state by the full of returning refugees, people who have been scarred by the war. people still in shock and fearful for the future. the last thing they need is more explosions. any minute, no munition found is categorized. category 3 is the least dangerous. these shells

or rockets are generally and fired and can be transported for disposal. category one of the worst booby traps cluster, bomblets, all volatile munitions that must be destroyed on the spot. in this area, we identified 2 r.p.g. rockets into 125 millimeter tank rounds. it's true and dangerous work, but helping out a man's and sappers best friend. the mining dogs, her name is jacqueline. she's a belgian shepherd. she took part in the fee for world championship in 2018. she has been through a lot of training and we've been together for 3 years. you use whatever you can. the war may be over, but every other day we hear of another incident. another casualty, a mine going off or an old grenade, exploding the peacekeepers. mission is to establish peace and bring back calm,

which you can't do. if people are terrified of the very ground they walk on, or i guess the of from the garden and the company behind the construction of the north stream to the pipeline will restart work early in december. the project has been on hold for a year. now. last month, the u.s. state department intensified sanctions on european firms involved in the senior german energy official. slummy washington's behavior is being gangster. like we spoke to him. it's good to be for secret afford to go to the currently u.s. pressure over north stream to has reached an unprecedented high and it's an attempt by the americans to lobby their economic interests to go behind the backs of their supposed partners. actually this behavior reminds me of the matthew, matthew c, come to the restaurant and say, we must protect you. but if you don't pay for this,

we will smash all your places. and it's the same thing here. the americans say they protect us from the russians, but in fact, we don't want this protection. we want to trade with the russians. we want russian gas. and then they say, if you don't let us protect you, we will kill you. in other words, they impose sanctions on companies, threaten them with economic collapse, and this is what's actually happening, but we must reject such methods, simply objecting to them is pointless. only real actions will help. russia's also been critical of washington stance on north stream too, and has ruled out abandoning the project despite u.s. sanctions, becoming a spokesperson data per scoff accuse the us of violating fair competition rules. just to remind you, the project will pump russian gas directly to germany through the baltic sea. from the very beginning, washington was hostile to this idea, claiming it threatens european energy security. last year, the us introduced further sanctions when the project was getting close to completion. we got the thoughts of austria's former foreign minister,

karen keisel last stream too is a business row checked. i have always said you don't build a pipeline in order to annoy somebody or to peace and body. it's all about supply and demand. unfortunately, does business bronczek has become a political topic? in general it's difficult to to separate the 2 politics from a very important oil and gas infrastructure. this is a given, we have seen all over the world. and it's regardless of whether it was the gulf gas pipelines between, between germany and the russian federation on whether we speak about large infrastructure projects, which ever company does it in the middle east. it always has a political dimension, no doubt about that. but nevertheless,

it's not up to search parties to get involved to the degree that we have been observing with small stream too. over the last 2 or 3 years. with relations between washington, a berlin strained over the project where aspiration tapazole it from germany's left party. but he expects things to change under the incoming by demonstration. if in fact the position of joe biden would turn out to be exactly the same, that this would not be a position decided by the american people or democratic vote. and if joe biden tried to stop germany from securing its energy future as basically one of his 1st acts as newly elected president, then that would poison the relationship between germany and the us for years to come. and it would certainly be in a way it would reassure people that what happened with donald trump will not just an accident in transatlantic relations battle that germany and the european union

has to look towards the east to have lasting friendships and alliances. but more fans around the world have been saying the final good byes to the argentinian legend, diego maradona, who died on wednesday from a heart attack 860 famous for his incredible skills on the playing field. he will be remembered as one of the sport's all time greats. i'm not here to be diego, for the argentinians is like a hero. you always have the heroes cape and the heroes show you that the

argentinians needed. he always came to the defense. he showed us that it was possible to be the humblest nation and take on the most powerful enemy. meridor to me is everything, not just in terms of food bill, but also never the aspect the man, the food bowl or his whole character. i don't think we do that. i've been following him everywhere since the world cup in 1900. i ran away from home just to watch him play

about things up for this new south x.v. company and stay without a updates and often her

your leave? i don't, we'll i thought about it. well no one knows what i mean. i'm.
