locking down the french government, drops a bill to ban filming of police following weeks of nationwide protests. and a landmark case in australia all forces seize a child from parents who refuse to consent for sex change treatment. we put the issue up for debate. we all know that teenagers make a rational mistakes that's part of being a teenager and would not choose to be true. somebody 15 or 16 to be incapable of making an informed, rational decision. the rundown criminals tell the iran doubles down on avenging the murder of its top nuclear scientist. answers funeral,

takes place into iraq on shock. and i this will build time's up. the group sets up by hollywood celebrities with huge payouts of fine sexual harassment spend just 10 percent of donations received on actually helping women a very good morning to you. are you watching r t international with me? and carol, the french president's ruling parties that scrapped a hugely unpopular bill to restrict filming of police. a spokesperson blamed misunderstandings in the law, which will now be rewritten. opponents had warned the measures called article $24.00 violated media freedoms and allowed officers to get away with brutality. the government's u. turn follows weeks of national uproar. it

was present my current chad and the movement see meeting on monday. as part of that meeting, there was the 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 would be suspended from the bill. as i say, it follows a weekend of violent protests in france, where more than a 130000 people came out to the streets to say that they didn't want this particular part of the north in acted 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 them videos using brute force to dismantle a migrant camp with one journalist saying that he had been attacked 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. 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's image of the black producer who is just trying to get into his studio. being beaten, was shameful. more and more diffuse,

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, even a neighbor heard my screams. he called me and asked what's going on. i explained it's been attacked and he wanted to call the policeman. it was the police. it's outrageous. 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. the police are here to protect us. well journalists and then jews had criticised article 24, saying essentially gave the green light to police officers just 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 law didn't go far enough. they wanted something stronger. but of course,

that now has been back tracked with the announcement that this particular part off 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 parliamentarians and must be the guarantors of fundamental rights. and this is freedom of expression and freedom of the press of the channel. r.t. france discussed the issue with senator sebastian miranda, in france, unbowed party spokesperson david grant. well, the government is changing its message. why not at all? because interior minister dominate is no longer right. but because of the mobilization of civilian forces, several 100000 people took to the streets to declare that liberties are not something secondary and unnecessary. the growth of the number of photos only confirm such abuses that have existed for many years. and the source of these abuses is not just one black sheep in the police ranks,

but that there are political and public figures who did not want to arrange everything effectively. remember, one time interior minister dominate ensured us that there is no police violence. there is no racism that everything is in order and so on. and today reality collides with them and in and he changes his narrative. the problem is not police violence. some police officers do indeed commit reprehensible acts, but the violence does not come from them. we see how violence is cultivated in society. the 1st victims are police officers. hundreds of police officers are attacked every day. there is not the respect for law enforcement officials that there was in the past. gerardo runnels problem is that he speaks in the way the president expects him to because you need to please both the right and the left at the same time. the problem is in the actions and the results that current policies lead to. it's difficult to imagine that during the quarantine period, hundreds of thousands of people could protest action where there are no social

distancing measures with main problem is that the authorities are now completely helpless. they are experiencing a crisis of fooling authority along mark court decisions seized in australian child from parents after they refused a request for a gender change. the couple are appealing and warned that they're being bullied into granting consent. the authorities say we will not allow her to change gender, so it's dangerous for her to come back to our house because we will mentally abused her. they want us to consent to testosterone treatment. the child who cannot be named for legal reasons was born female, but had 15 told family members about wanting to become a boy. when the parents refused to the child, contemplated suicide in online posts, and was seized from home by protection services and was not the only case that when parents clash with the thirty's on gender dysphoria a mismatch between people's sex at birth and their gender self identification. earlier this year,

another australian child was allowed federalization treatment despite the mother's opposition. previous rulings had left the final decision to parents. my colleagues ask a teller, discussed the issue with guests. you take a child at their most vulnerable age and you take them out of what is secure. we all know that teenagers make irrational mistakes. that's part of being a teenager. most of us can look back at our teenage years and say, we made some very irrational decisions and that without the guidance and loving support of our parents and no one loves us more than our parents. in most cases, we would have made worse mistakes. so to rip, that authority away from parents is often the worst mistake that the courts can do . well, as luis de xcuse says, and we still are from the assumption that somebody who seems to themselves as being transgender is somehow making a mistake, that they don't understand the things that the not capable of making a rush to informed decision not particularly to suit. somebody 15 or 16

to be incapable of making an informed, rational decision. not only are the parents being bullied, but their rights are literally being stripped away from them by the government in this instance. and australia teenage hood is an emotional time humor. his emotional time were literally pumping with you know, emotions and so to say that a child who's 12 years old has decided that they want to identify a certain way and that the parents are now going to be forced to allow this child, to have or move their r.p., i mean it literally slaps in the face of what the purpose of appearance actually is . the thing about this is this is really politicians and black robes making political decisions. when you consider the science, the real science, we know that is sometimes these decisions people can regret later in life. let the child wait until he's an adult to make a decision that may affect his health, his or her health for the rest of their life. if they're just waiting a few years,

the parents should be the ones who have lovingly walk them through this. not a doctor, not a court. no one should trump the authority of a parent in this situation. in certain parts of the u.k. wales and stop and 16 year olds can vote, they can make a decision in this country. they can be members of the armed forces and they can pay taxes. they can marry with parental consent if we're going to allow i society 16 year olds to make those very mature decisions in my opinion. then as absolutely outrageous to take this bonkers, old fashioned view that children are somehow the chattels of their parents. but all more, the fact of the answer is most people who transition transition successfully and it helps their mental health, their physical health overall well being of course, doing anything. and you have,

you know, one or 2 in which regret it not is quite right. and this for the parents should be the divina foti just because they gave birth to their child is in my opinion, ok for the misconceived. when a child says to their parents, i believe that i'm a girl, even if that child is 8 years old and they're physically a male. the, the current prevailing practice is to allow that child to determine what they want to do going forward to say anything different is considered abuse. and an issue of abuse is being conflated and being very hard used in a way that's harmful to actual children who are being abused. he can't consent to sex. how on earth can you determine that you are old enough to want to have a misstep to me at 12 and have your breasts removed or you want to have your gender reassignment. all these are things that a 12 year old and a 13 year old don't have the capacity to understand the longstanding implications

of it. so how do we provide a way out for children who are suffering from gender dysphoria? what should happen if there's a conflict with parents starting to fall on the parents to make the best most loving decision for their families? there are 2 things going against children. in these situations. one is if they're ripped from the loving arms of their parents, and 2 is if they're forced to make a decision to young that they might regret the suicide rates are astonishingly higher for children that make these decisions. decisions, the younger they are when they make these decisions, the more high the suicide rate is for them later in life, once they've transitioned. so we need to be very careful about these children being exploited for political reasons. iran's repeated threats to avenge the assassination of its leading nuclear physicist sparked outrage throughout the country. speaking of the scientists funeral, the defense minister insisted they will hunt down the perpetrators general, you know, to crime, no assassination. and no foolish should be left on the ring in nation. we will

certainly hold down criminals until the end. they must know that they will be punished for their actions. the assault took place on friday when most of the fuckers, the day was travelling in his car near to rob. he was shot in an ambush and died of his injuries in hospital iran immediately branded the attack an act of state terror also saying it would continue what it called, the scientists peaceful research. and far from stopping to run the murder appears to have only under its leaders was done of horton's reports. dr. morsi, in fact, presided, it was different things to different people, to his family, a husband and a father, to his country, a patriot, a prized and respected scientists to others. though he was a threat, a man effectively in charge of iran's alleged nuclear weapons program. it's no surprise, some would have wanted him out of the way dr. will move soon, far. and a project about put it, remember the name. and you will not be surprised to hear that soprano is led by the

same person who looked project on mob after 5 years of doing and also not coincidently. many of supplants key personal worked under fire for use of the project on to ron points, the finger at israel, which in line with its usual policy hasn't confirmed or denied any involvement in the assassination of a cabinet minister has said he was clueless about who the perpetrators could be, i have no clue who did. it's not that my lips are sealed because i'm being responsible. i really have no clue. whoever carried out this attack, it was carefully planned and brutally executed to a higher level of sophistication. and clean operation was very complicated and carried out by using electronic devices no individual able to present to the site. we don't exactly know what motivated the killing. but if it had anything to do with removing a supposed threat in the interests of peace and stability, the result so far seems to be the reverse

that the streets of boiling over with anger. well fuck result. it was given a state funeral and granted martyr status. iran is out for revenge. some hardliners are calling for direct, massive retaliation against those who they think are responsible. even the strong israeli cities are on the table. a life for annoy, says, god's law and to iran, as in this crime, go unpunished. an image of around that, the rainy nation and the country's officials are brave enough to respond to this criminal action when the time is right. the relevant officials can respond to this crime, but this is now bigger than just tit for tat violence if was in iran's alleged nuclear program was the goal that's failed. iran's government has vowed to continue

. the scientists work with redoubled efforts. for him, she will be more united will be more determined even for the continuation of your post. he will carry on with the power and the nuclear deal already in tatters after the us withdrawal is quickly fading. as the country's parliament looks to stop inspections at its nuclear sites, with the consent of m.p.'s to urgent action plans were adopted to lift sanctions in order to return to the era of the nuclear energy boom. and to stop surveillance by i.a.e.a. spies with biden's incoming administration aiming for a new deal with iran. it's looking like they could get no deal at all by them will have to simple terms apologize in some ways and he will have to come up for haps, with even more of a diplomatic concession than simply restoring the

agreement. i think iran will need far more guarantees after all, even when president obama signed the deal not on sanctions were removed and iran never quite benefit economically hoped. and why would the iranians choose compromise in a rare moment of unity?, they now have the support of everyone from turkey and iraq to the u.a.e., and even europe. we're going to end this heinous murder and extend our condolences to the government of iran and the family of the diseased. the emirates condemns the crime of the assassination. it cause a nor sides to practice the greatest possible restraint, so as to avoid dragging the region to new levels of instability and threats to peace. this is a criminal act and runs counter to the principle of respect for human rights. the e.u. stands for, for every action equal and opposite reaction. it was clear assassinating

a scientist on a rainy in the soil would start up a hornet's nest and will now lead to a reaction across the region and beyond. still to come this hour is for building huge hollywood charities to help sexual harassment victims spend just 10 percent of donations, helping the victims themselves. we'll tell you more after the break. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those with no dares thinks we dare to ask

someone else chose seemed wrong wrong. just don't call me yet to shape our disdain, become active and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. it will come back. there's a major embarrassment for time's up a sexual harassment charity set up by hollywood celebrities with massive publicity

. after it was revealed, it spent just 10 percent of donations on actually helping women in its 1st year of operation tax filings show. the group raised more than $3500000.00 in 2018, but almost half that went on salaries alone with huge sums also spent on luxury resort conferences. and saks just 3 $112000.00 went to the victims of sexual harassment. r.t. received this response from the organization. our 2018 expenses were mostly related to our startup costs, such as legal costs and recruiting starve that would establish initiatives that would be launched in 2019. times that was formed in the wake of the scandal over harvey weinstein. a former top hollywood producer, found guilty of sexual assault. the foundation says it's gone on to help thousands of victims, including committing millions of dollars in legal and p.r. support. but lawyer, money has lost the thinks new rules are needed for such nonprofit organizations. i

would say this really is not a good battle for a nonprofit organization. this is what i would call in a discipline. profit basically lost their way. and really were there to mission was and it seemed like the nonprofit was sort of using the organization as a slush fund. the golden rule for not profits is that 75 percent of its funding really should go to its mission. ma 25 percent go to goes toward the administration, but here 38 percent went to salaries and with the c.e.o. should have done was to see this imbalance and actually take a pay cut. here's what happens is not profit organizations as there are. there are very sort of like self regulate, i think the best thing that a nonprofit actually can do is put their taxes, like right on their web site for the public to see. and also, i mean, i think for these sort of large nonprofit organizations that, you know, get

a lot of media attention. you know, what they really should do is put sort of mechanisms in place where, you know, you have like an independent board. you have an independent auditor,, you put controls, internal controls in place. u.s., president elect, joe biden, surprised many with his new white house press. secretary pick 10 slot is not only a carryover from the obama era has also become notorious for her gaffes. kind of morphing reports as joe biden edges toward inauguration, despite republican efforts to derail it. at this point, it's pretty clear the transition is underway. biden is appointing his cabinet and he's got internet, social justice warriors beaming with pride about the fact that he has selected an all female senior press team. so the white house communications will be headed up by a familiar face. jennifer psaki, now she knows the office well,

having worked under the administration of barack obama and then moving to the u.s. state department. but exactly how good she is at communicating accurate information is another matter. there are flows of gas, natural gas, i should say. they go through from western europe through ukraine crain to russia, and we are, i'm sorry, the other way from russia. 3, a crane to western europe. i don't have anything, any specific comment on the case that point to egypt in government. and i was very due to have a conversation of the department of justice. i don't have anything to add in state prison, so i don't have anything of their and i don't have more details. i'm hoarse embers of refugees, russia, and see no evidence to prove plein who are fleeing to russia. sorry, geography is not sakis best subject. now. she raised some eyebrows when she condemned forces in eastern ukraine, saying that they were engaged in an election rigging, scheme called carousel voting, which she had no idea what that actually meant. perhaps this tendency to make

verbal blunders is something that the new administration will find enduring. after all, this is going to be the man at the top, but look what's not to like about 4 months terms. the beauty of it, and what a neat term watch would happen, those kids support can come up to see most post-prison that they want a new to him. something some new coverage of international leaders spoke about you had people like more people like the financier in time for me. she's a friend, she's been my friend, jen psaki says that she is proud of her new to lauding them loudly on twitter. i can't imagine a smarter savi or better human to partner with, than korean john p. here to rebuild trust of the american people, communicate by tim harris agenda and main, the work of the u.s. government more accessible to the people who serve. now this is no surprise as the, team is made up of d.c., a holdovers from the obama years, including a few who have been part of biden's d.c. posse for decades. one of visor who's coming in to work with incoming v.p.

kamel. a harris is someone who has been an adviser working with democratic veteran bernie sanders for a long time, but the rest are just simply washington regulars. they'll be swapping seats in the, ongoing game of musical chairs on capitol hill. and they also have ties to u.s., mainstream media. jen psaki spent some time at c.n.n. as did simone sanders careen gene peer has worked at m. s, n, b, c. the cozy relationship between the incoming administration and the mainstream media is going to be something. it's rather hard to dispute, but that doesn't mean there won't be a few entertaining moments. kaleb up and r.t. new york, the former vice chair of the us live a tarion party national committee thinks the makeup of the new communications team is a distraction time to take. she has the ability to keep giving the exact same message that the last several presidents have given. i mean,

she has practice from the obama era. she is proud of the campaign. she's not to be saying a thing different or new or interesting. this is an obvious distraction tactic. the idea i assume, is to create such a highly noticeable identity shift that the content of the message is different. somehow the fact that the messages are all female will distract the american people . listen, the american people aren't dead. if you keep the failed policy going, it won't matter who announces it, what matters is how bad the policies themselves are. look at this, you know, very obvious thing, but don't look at this other thing that all those just as obvious. so in other words, pay attention to who's delivering the message, pay attention to the messenger, look at the identity of the messenger, but don't pay too much attention to the message. because exactly the same as what you've seen under the last democrat and republican administration. on all 3, and so last night i think that you can find most stories on our website dot com if

you'd like to comment on any of our stories that they couldn't touch by following us on social media and stuff. that's all right. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. let it be an arms race. very dramatic development. only personally. i don't see how you sit down and talk

if you're born into a poor family, if you're born into a minority family, if you're born into a family, as a single parent that really constrains your life chances people fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family always get into any conversation or start answering questions.

you're more likely to walk free if you're rich or if you're poor. you got 2 eyes in one now. so you should be seen here and a whole lot more than you're saying if you don't take that advice, easy going to do it yourself. this is a boom bust the one business show you can't afford to miss. i'm going to washington coming out. my journal became the latest biotech company to submit an emergency authorization application for the food and drug administration. data showed the

vaccine is 94 percent effective. on monday, u.s. stocks tumbled closing out a record setting month though we will we see a rally in the summer, or in fact, another pullback we have an expert panel standing by have a lot to get to. so let's get started. the united states is facing a possible surge in coven 1000 cases. after a busy week of travel surrounding thanksgiving, many health officials fear that infection numbers may see a sharp rise, as was the case in canada just a few weeks ago when the country celebrated the same holiday well fears around growing infections come just as a number of vaccine candidates get closer to federal proveable, artie's alex mcgill of h.r. . the story i was thousands of americans took to the sky. this thanksgiving travel season was like no other. it's still a little scary.
