the french president's party drops a bill that would have restraint to the filming of police officers off to weeks of nationwide. protests. middle east nations condemn the killing of iran's top nuclear scientist as terror on blames israel and the u.s. creating a major challenge for the incoming administration. europe only kuantan of a rights report says hundreds of i still found those with european citizenship being held in inhumane conditions. kurdish controlled refugee camps syria,

and teaches in norway say they would be afraid to show cartoons of the prophet mohammad in clos, after last month's model of a french teacher, we spoke with one of the murder of summer. i decided not to show them at all because i would have all i felt my profession was attacked. 8 pm here in moscow from the whole team at all. very well, welcome to the program. when i start off this hour with how the french president's ruling party has a withdraw in a parliamentary vote, that would have severely restricted the filming of police officers on soft to 2 weeks of nationwide rest. now, opponents of the measure name dots 24 would have to press freedom on about the police to cover up acts of brutality. what has cross live now to our power as

a sauna? there's been a lot of to ing and fro ing about. * this a lot of tension. so what's the latest here? well, let's be clear. the global security bill is not being suspended. it is a part of that bill that's being suspended. this is all to call $24.00. it's a controversial element that would restrict the filming of police, had it become law, it would criminalized individuals for publishing those images. if they had been intent to harm the police offices physically or mentally, and that would have come with a one year prison sentence and a 45000 euro fine, that has been hugely controversial here in france. and as a result of the violent protests we saw over the weekend president my contract and the moujik see meeting on monday. as part of that meeting, there was a french prime minister, the french interior minister, and also the leaders of the parliamentary parties of the majority,

the presidents of these parties. now they decided following that meeting, that this specific article article $24.00 would be suspended from the bill. as i say, it follows a weekend of violent protests in france, where more than 130000, people came out to the streets to say that they didn't want this particular part of the north inactive here in france. well the anger that we saw in those protests had been focused on 2 incidents in the last 7 days, which showed extreme versions of police brutality. the 1st was

a week ago on monday evening. here in paris, when police were showing him videos using brute force to dismantle a migrant camp with one journalist saying that he had been at fact 3 times during the evening by the security forces as he was trying to carry out his job that was described as shocking by the interior minister and there was an investigation launched and then the 2nd incident was that of a black music producer here in paris, who was shown on security footage being beaten up by officers. now the 4 officers involved in the incident have since been suspended in turin, custody, but the reality is many say that without these images being broadcast, then perhaps they wouldn't be any comeuppance for the police. even president machen said that that image of the black producer who was just trying to get into his studio, being beaten, was shameful. and it was very hard

when they fired tear gas. i was at the back. i tried to call my lawyer. i tried to call a lot of people or even a neighborhood my screen. he called me and ask what's going on. explain it been attacked and he wanted to call the police, but it was the police who commits outrages. i can't even tell you what i'm waiting for. i wish of course, that this never happens again to anyone. whether there are cameras or not. it should never happen. they're here to protect us. well journalists and then jews had criticized article 24, saying essentially gave the green light to police officers to stop them from doing their job to stop them from filming. it had been previously backed up by the government who said that this was needed to protect the police officers who have been facing unprecedented levels of violence. the police unions that said that this move didn't go far enough. they wanted something stronger. but of course that now has been backtracked with the announcement that this particular part all school 24

will be completely rewritten. the former interior minister, who is the president of the parliamentary group. christopher cassidy said that it was the parliament to and must be the garron tools of fundamental rights. and this is freedom of expression and freedom of the press. so article 24 will now be written completely in full, but you can guarantee however it's we will be desexed it here in france. and i get a sense that this perhaps may not be enough to appease many people with some already saying that they will, the entire global security bill dropped. not just article 24 was suddenly a big u. turn from the government and father's symbol of the, of the power of protest. rather, that was our t. shirt. it depends reporting from the french capital ceasing. when we also spoke to political analysts believes the harsh tactics used by french police have severely

damaged public trust. don't forget what the situation has been in france this series and i remark, what has been the president of one of the most violent society is france is known to despise that case. you should remember there was ration of the us with extreme violence. we have police officers that are people representing the lot of shooting . there was reduced in the face with her, with plastic bullets mean people are losing their, their eyes for yet another violence at large. who did not say that the people there was traitors were altar boys, but if it was extreme violence, now the situation would have to fill in the certificates. there are curfews where i'm sort of a martial state purposes of a police state. and then i was in this coming out saying instead, even through all the police officer, which is you can reach out. so you are still such a situation. people don't like these people are really the global context is that people don't trust a lot of people don't trust the french police anymore. what's the necessity of this? and there's been a current situation, but i think my lot of the people in france for the police to do their job job

regular police officers, they're going to repeat, don't have anything to be afraid of that they're reading through. but they're really friends don't trust there are, there was so much so many more. another big story, a human rights group, has accused europe of creating its own guantanamo by allowing its citizens to be subjected to human rights abuses at camps in syria, according to a rights and security international report, there are $640.00 european children and $230.00, european women being held illegally and without charge at kurdish run camps for terror suspects in the north east of syria. now the report contains eyewitness accounts of inhumane and degrading treatment in the hospital. just look at this sea of tents enormous dubbed in the report as the new get mo, europe's kuantan m. o. because of the citizenship or the origin of many of the families there. but here's why this place could outdo the infamous prison in

reputation for the horrors happening inside. and pretty much every tent. there are kids. since the start of 2019, more than 400 children have died in the main camp. long after i saw was wiped out in this part of syria. families of suspected terrorists are paying the price some die because of gruesome conditions. it can be anything from bad food to tent fires . last winter, 3 and children were burnt alive. we saw the bodies so the babies. if someone dares to speak out against the conditions, the guards, as it's been reported, resort to gunfire. we never feel safe here. my main worry is that my children are injured who died from gunshot wounds. one day a bullet landed between my neighbor's tents. i'm afraid of the bullet enters my tanned and winds of one of us. when children especially boys grow older,

they could end up being forcibly removed, just in case 2 men in military uniforms who had their faces covered with these cards and carrying kalashnikovs and very fast. they took my son who was asleep. i screamed, they said, don't scream. local authorities have admitted they are removing troublemakers, which could be justified by the detainees all in violent behavior. at times, imagine scuffles between those who reject eisel ideology and those who remain brainwashed. it's an explosive mix. the question is whether the threat from these clashes is an excuse for any humane treatment bordering on torture, or the syrian democratic forces that are running the camp say such practices are banned, but they are admitting mistakes and keep complaining about the resources they have or lack to keep the whole mess under control. we'll soley responsible for the safety and security of thousands of families of militants in the whole camps.

something far beyond the modest capabilities due to the failure of the international community to cooperate with us and their refusal to repatriate this it's. so where do these families belong? who bears the ultimate responsibility for the woman and children? many of whom never chose to be an islamic state, but ended up in its jaws. e.u. members don't want the families back flying them as a security threat, revoking citizenships. it is more than turning a blind eye. these states are actively engaging in a policy that is leaving these people in these dire conditions outside of the law. they're actively doing it because they've said that the security approach is to leave them, that this is a strategic policy. it is a moral aberration to have a strategic policy which is leaving mostly children in a detention camp to die. there is no easy solution and maybe there is no way

out. europe with its own sleeper cells and unprecedented numbers of terrorist attacks in recent years. isn't looking forward to any extra fuel on the fire. the decision was that the dutch government does not have to pick up these children. and these women from syria right now. what the judge says is that this is a political decision, and that it is not up to the judge to decide whether they should do this or not. i am facades that a national security threat means a threat of the most serious kind to the public. the resists, serious risk from anyone who is aligned with ours. so so for now, unfortunately, it looks and navigable that more blood will be spilt in the sea of tents keefe passed through his form of the european council on refugees says that if some of the detainees did commit crimes, they should be tried in the home countries human rights is something that you just

cannot contain in one country or whatever it is. universal laws about human rights should be applied the diversity and that includes in these camps rather than leaving those even if they. 'd are accused of crimes or accused of having gone to court not sugar or a group or terrorist group which is contrary to the laws. also, the country of which there are citizens of those people should be a group that national income actually prosecuted trollies. so that in a sense, in the country of which they are a national, i can understand the reluctance of the security services wanting these people to come. but, but at the end of the day, you have to do it with your citizens. as you find the roles and just forgot all left to be forgotten about moving on. now, u.s. president elect joe biden has announced his pick for white house press secretary.

and as with almost all of his nominees so far, it's a familiar face from the former palm ministration. well, let's bring in now our team kate, of more pain in new york. to talk us through this late announcement that come from the biden protected president elect joe biden. indeed, well, presumptive president elect joe biden has achieved what's being hailed as an identity. tarion breakthrough with an all female press team and it will be headed up by none other than jennifer psaki. now folks will remember jennifer psaki from 20132014 when she was a spokeswoman for the u.s. state department. and she actually became notorious for a number of her, a number of her blunders that she delivered from the state department podium. let's review jennifer psaki career. there are flows of gas, the natural gas,

i should say. they go through from western europe through the pain train to russia, and we are, i'm sorry, the other way from russia to ukraine to western europe. i don't have anything, any specific comment on the case that point to egypt, your government. and i was very due to have a conversation with the department of justice. i don't have any evidence to say don't have any things there. and i don't have more details on who are members of, from russia, and have seen the evidence to go to that crew who are going to russia. very nice methodology was also highly suspect, with reports of carousel boarding pre-marked ballots, which are still you know, i have been through this is those reading that i'm not familiar with that term. either way, it may be that people weren't checking out, check and see what, what our team sense was treated by the end of the story through the ceiling. of course, it's going around the stores, but i don't think it's a reference to that amount. now this is just the tip of the iceberg. there are many other examples of misc sakis mind blowing away with words. however,

she seems to have taken it upon herself to regain the trust of the american people . take a listen. i can't imagine a smart area say they're bad, a human to prison with karine chen pierre, to build trust to the american. people communicate that biden harry said sanda and make the work of the u.s. government more accessible to the people who go there. now psaki is certainly not the only person in this new all female white house communications team who came out of the obama administration. if you look over the list of appointees. 'd there are some familiar faces. the white house communications director and the communications director. the 1st lady both worked for joe biden when he was vice president. and when he was in the senate, you've got the deputy press. secretary is somebody who served in the cabinet of the obama administration, also working for nancy pelosi and shucked chuck schumer. furthermore,

you've got the senior adviser to the harris. this is an individual that stands out as they did not work with the obama white house, but actually had ties to bernie sanders. so that is the exception. how ever the rest of them seem to all be familiar faces from the obama era. now what's also interesting is not only do these individuals have ties to the obama administration, but also ties to mainstream us media. jennifer psaki herself, was a c.n.n. contributor 1st. furthermore, her deputy careen jean peer was an n, n, b, c, and m s n, b c. analyst giving analysis for the t.v. network. you've got simone sanders, who will, who will serve as a senior advisor to the biden administration, and chief spokesperson for camila harris. she was a c.n.n. commentator before joining their campaign. so it seems like some familiar faces, from both the u.s. mainstream media,

and the obama administration will now be once again in the white house serving the executive branch as we head towards a biden harris administration. this january. while familiar faces. of course, the chief being that joe biden himself obama's, former right wing man. that was thought he's kind of moped reporting from the make up. united arab emirates has condemned last friday's assassination of iran's top nuclear scientist. the gulf want to called it a threat to regional peace. the emirates condemns the crime of the assassination. it cosa no sides to practice the greatest possible restraint. so as to avoid dragging the region to new levels of instability and threats to peace. terror on has blamed the killing on israel and the us senate spog days of writing terror on with people binding the american and israeli flags and torching portraits of donald trump. i'm joe biden now has what's known about the assault so far

with terror on vowing retaliate, and there are fears of deeper hostilities with the u.s. on its route and as equals donough now explains. it could pose a major challenge for the incoming by ministration. so far it's been up to run to make accusations and israel along side with the u.s. quite expected. lee, are its prime suspects. warning against any adventurist stick measures by the united states and israel against my country. particularly during the remaining period of the current administration of the united states in office. the islamic

republic of iran reserves its right to take all necessary measures to defend its people and secure its interests. in response. israel, the one country whose spies might actually know more about iran, that iran knows about itself, has had this to say. i have no clue who did it. it's not that my lips are sealed because i'm being responsible. i really have no clue. and the united states, the same united states that kicked off 2020 with an open assassination of iran's top general has been completely mute this time. and it would be perfectly fine given the total lack of evidence and nation thousands of miles away from iran had anything to do with the killing except in the past 2 weeks. several unconfirmed reports claim the donald trump was seeking options to attack iran to further detail its nuclear program. factories that there would make a perfect target given he was quite

a celebrity for israeli intelligence. remember the moon 5 years ago. so here's his direct and uses. the general loom is to announce the closure of project on mars. but then he adds special activities. you know, what are those special activities will be carried out under the title of scientific know how development? and in fact, this is exactly what iran proceeded to do. it continued this work in a series of organizations over the years. i know for preside a well, he doesn't know how well i know him. if i met him in the street, most likely i would recognize him. he does not have a new unity. he did not have immunity, and i don't think he will have immunity by aggravating iran. trump would also be throwing a spanner in the machinery of joe biden's foreign policy. given that the president elect has hinted at a friendly, a stance on to iran would offer to iran a credible path back to diplomacy. if iran returns to strict compliance with the

nuclear deal, the united states would rejoin the agreement 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 and europe, whose leaders probably still have a p.t.s.d. over january's prospects of world war 3. have been pointing out that this latest killing creates a tough road ahead for biden, 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. during the past 4 years, trump has sent america's relations with iran, back into the path of us, tell it by unilaterally tearing up the nuclear deal, recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital. and sending his top diplomat on

a charm offensive to all of the middle eastern nations that oppose iran. definitely what the israelis were aiming for. i mean they're there, they're sure and hope is that the united states gets involved in a military action against iraq. that's. that's their ultimate goal, that's their ultimate objective. you know, boy, that the next best thing is to ensure that the united doesn't improve relations with iran, by rejoining the iranian nuclear agreement. and the way you do that is to sabotage any effort at diplomacy. i mean, when you knock off the number one side, just their answer nuclear program in a suburb of tehran in a bold, daring daylight attack, you're not going to have the iranians go, that's ok. let's, let's get on with diplomacy. it's going to get the reaction. it's getting right now . hardline iranian response further restrict the efforts of not only shut down the efforts of international inspectors in only increase international concern that

iran might be edging toward. a military weapon is ation effort. this new high profile death, even though there's no hard evidence to reveal the culprits will only once again prove to tehran, that the raw power is hell bent on destroying it. and with the wounds from the assassination of gen, son, imani, still fresh in the mind. no one can be expecting restraint from iran find me most teaches a norway would fear for their safety if they want to show their students cartoons of the prophet mohammad. now that's according to a new survey. it's in the wake of last month's, much of a french teacher who displayed such images to his students. one way to teach us as there are now very real dangers to those watching in the profession. after the murder of some party, i decided not to show them at all because i felt it's wonderful. i felt

my profession was attacked at the moment and the freedom of speech over expression was attacked, of course. and i wanted to find other ways to express myself and to achieve the same goal with my teaching. because the character gets your drawings are not the goal. they're just dressed a part of criticism against a religion. and there's other texts we can use as well. the poll found that 60 percent of teachers would refuse to show than a tourist mohammed cartoons in class, and many are reluctant to bring up any issues related to islam. concern about scaring students is the main reason given by the negative reactions from students and parents. also a factor that meanwhile, in france, the country is still reeling from the shock waves of some your party's murder. 6 weeks ago.

during the course of one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our competitor, it was the victim of an islamist terror attack. while the norwegian teacher, we did speak to believes that stuff should be free to decide how to explain religion to their students. there's the law and the is the law and it one hand and freedoms of speech on the other hand. and we can maneuver in between the limits of those. and i don't want to have anyone telling me which texts to choose in my teaching. i think it's really important that teachers, it's all around the world, is allowed to, to, to make those choices by themselves. we have the curriculum and we have these

limits and i think for us it's really, really important too to make choices about these things ourselves. the thing is that the each and curriculum has a very important main topic. that's democracy and citizenship. and we are teaching in with the law on the, on one hand, the law against hate speech. and in the right. and we have the human rights on the other hand rights. so we have to maneuver in, in between them and for us. and we will have to find a way to achieve, to develop the students' skills and their, and ability to, to read a tax cuts with a critical mind. and i think we can do that even though we're not showing the least specific pictures. that's a wrap for now,

banks for sticking with us. we hope to see you again soon. in the meantime, up next it's crosstalk.

the world is driven by shaped by those who dares thinks we dare to ask

hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . the foreign policy team of a potential buy in ministration is being touted by the liberal media. we tell you why all this should be horrified. also there's a lot of talk of a great reset and build back better. does looking back or bode well for the future to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guest headings and employment. he's the editor and founder of the 21st century wire. and here in moscow, we're joined by bob. she's a political analyst and editor at, you know smee internet.
