10:30 am
there are already 3 ambulances here as you can hear they switched on their sirens they drove up and stopped right here 123. so there were 3 ambulances here yes 3 only 2 had i think shouldn't and they brought oxygen to the 3rd one. because when you drive the same patient around for 12 hours the oxygen tank runs out before i want to i will happen to exactly why are they driving in circles for 12 hours i've been speaking to a paramedic he said it works like this they are going to turn brigade essentially. an ordinary call and then they realize the person has community acquired pneumonia and. that person is 17 years old and the situation. was that they were going to die right that yes you want to take a patient to take an oxygen tank and they start calling the ambulances and dispatched but it comes from the ambulance station so they start calling the station saying these guys we have a patient 1st of all if they don't have p.p.d. themselves i took pictures loaded that they only had their usual unit. postal
10:31 am
probably they weren't ready for anything but. they only had ordinary masks the disposable ones so the guys we have a coated patient and they said wait we're looking for sort of way to look at just goes on for 12 hours straight at some point they lost their patient. we couldn't get to know and say knew where else we decided to ask directly maybe someone will respond. 100 percent each question is a shot i cannot send her home he's a 4 humane or medical reasons reese no where to drive her to because warren given the necessary information we hope to be able to search something here. ok let's go back to our top story this hour because protests in paris of taking place again this weekend over security bill that could stop the public from filming the police has been a lot of anger and tear gas has been used to disperse the crowds.
10:32 am
ok let's get more now from our correspondent who's in paris right now i showed it as he showed it just describe the situation on the streets at the moment. well it's been tense for the last few hours since the protests started around 2 o'clock local time but i'm curious you can see behind me firefighters are trying to extinguish a number of fires that have been set these the fires of cause all along this street there are at least 3 or 4 vehicles that have been completely to watched that
10:33 am
vehicle actually looks like it was charging at the time when the fire was set i mean this big black smoke has been filling the air of paris here we have seen huge violence already between the protest is throwing rocks at the police offices postals the pavement from the floor also throwing paint at them we got coolest ourselves in some of the painting at one point said my cameraman and i both said now covered in white painting in some parts of us and of course the police then responding we've been tear gas to try and just spears these crowds at the zoo many people in this part now because he has been secure it off so you just have to move because the fumes from the can a little bit too close for comfort but this protest still going on this is one of the run. protests in front against the global security law
10:34 am
a law that's been much criticized not just by june lists and citizens in n.g.o.s but also by the european union and by the un many including your specialty move independent investigators to the u.n. saying this incompatible with international human rights law and they've called the whole law to be rewritten we know at the moment that only one part of that law is going to be written that is article 20 fool but protesters say that that's not enough they also want to other articles completely scrap this article 21 which would see police offices where important cameras and life transmitting those images and also article 22 which would give the right for drone surveillance to take place so huge tensions here in paris where as you can see around me at least on this part of the city where the march was supposed to be taking place is halted right now there is a huge tension on the streets burning and there is just well it was chaos here
10:35 am
we've got windows smashed all around us you can see the pain that we've got caught up in over see the vehicles burning we tried creating power is and for the moment the police to look like they've got it under control but certainly in those few minutes the offer now when it was breaking loose here that wasn't the case. was there any sort of indication when these protests started to take seemed to be peaceful or was there always a sense that it was going to get ugly. what we've seen in paris it's almost always the case that there will be a group of people who come to the protest specifically cool's trouble you know most of these protests start off very peace peace people who are wanting to gather expressed their right to democracy. a liberty of expression to come out and say they're unhappy with something we saw the same issue just
10:36 am
a week ago in the same protests about the global security law however i would say that today it turned violent very very quickly normally we will have a march and to the end of the march we will start to see some of the violence but it was less than you know an hour of the protests started today when there was already huge scuffles between the police and some of the protesters and i have to say for so early in the day we rarely see this much violence. we know that there's been a lot of concern generally about this new bill that's being put forward but in terms of the type of people to go out and protest do you sense it is a broad cross-section of people that live in france that are coming out to feelings no. definitely and let's also be clear the people who have come out for this protest today are just here for it to be against the global security no i've seen people saying that they hate because they want to protect the
10:37 am
planet and they don't think that the current french administration is doing enough about we have a huge pool for a cross-section of society this protest was being called by journalistic unions who obviously want to safeguard the freedom of the press and they say the issues surrounding this global security law could make jobs of journalists just like us much harder. to give the police the green light to stop journalists from filming particularly feel something that's being filmed doesn't show the police in a good light but from walking around the crowds you can see that there is a huge giant get to this little whether that's people from the left of politics from the right you know it's hard to say exactly who's against it but you do you read the newspapers here and you get a sense that it's not just the media it's ever be on the ground seems to be rather cool. about what they sue could do in terms of impinging the 3 didn't so i think we
10:38 am
could have broad cross-section of society here people not just here to be against the global security people here also to express their anger about other issues in frumps you know the seems to be listening. people are angry and. you think the president will respond to this latest. present maccarone said when he 1st came into office he wouldn't be cowed by violence and by protests there that's actually not been the case we have seen huge social movements like the yellow vest here who have affected change in france and made president macaroon rethink his plans whether that was a reversal of the fuel tax hike or saying that he would look at how he could improve the situation for people north into orbs you know we already saw all the
10:39 am
from the protests of the last week against the global security law that the ruling party and parliamentarians realized that they needed to do something 1st of all the anger was really against the article 24 which would have criminalized publishing images of the police if it was considered to be intent to harm that was both psychologically and physically but what's happened since then is that parliamentarians say that they will rewrite that part of the law so i think president mark warner has been listening to it in an interview on friday was a wide ranging interview with for a few hours with one of the french media and he talked about understanding the issues he said that he knew that there was violence in society and there full there was violence in the police he didn't say that he wanted to say that the police were violent because he said that become a politicized term pretty did too about the fact that they were issues and he said that he would be looking to root out these issues he said that when. things have been brutal to his attention he's done things about it for example he talked about
10:40 am
the black music producer he was filmed just over a week ago being beaten by a number of police officers just stops and he's stupid you know he talked about being shot. and he said that in the new year he wants to stay off the platform so that the public can go online and report what they think are issues with discrimination by the police he's also talked about the fact that he thinks that there is an issue with racism here in the country and he said to be he's listening and he would take action. but whatever action he's taken for many people it's not enough and we have to remember now that president akron's got about 17 months before he hopes he would be reelected for a 2nd term and it does feel that in this 1st 5 year mandate that he's had there's been a severe swing in terms of his policies he came into politics saying that he wasn't from the left he wasn't from the right but certainly in the last year or so we have
10:41 am
seen policies definitely shifting to wards the right some say that's a political attempt to try and shore up support from people on the right ahead of our election in about 17 months other people say that that's a mistake because he will lose the base that he has the left but we know that he has looked at creating more intensely rules when it comes to giving the police more rights we also know that there is this very controversial law that you to be discussed in the next few days that used to be called the separatism bill it's now being called promoting republican values bill and this is a bill that's angered muslims who have friends who feel that they are being singled out really just seeing that what ever is coming from the eighty's a palace whatever is coming from moving party is angry a section of society. i suppose. charlotta microns in a difficult position isn't it because i mean looking at the pictures today they
10:42 am
must be people he wanted to police to have more power to protect them from the violence that we're seeing mean if you live in paris you must be sick and tired of this happening most weekends. but what's interesting is we heard from the leader of the national rally here in france marking a pen just in the last few weeks and she said in the parliament she didn't understand why years and years of violence in this hasn't been sorted i mentioned earlier this is a problem we keep seeing in the protests is that people come out to exercise their right to protest a freedom of assembly and then we will have a small group of people normally about 2300 who are here just because violence and i think that is a question because many people will say well actually the police do need to have more power to be able to control these situations also we know that the police unions say that they didn't feel that the global security law was giving enough in
10:43 am
terms of protecting them we were talking to a police officer last weekend he just said you know this is people from the extreme left coming out and causing chaos in our city we know that restaurant business owners of fed up of seeing their streets and their shops being spared stuff so you know the reason huge amount of anger to those group of people that called the black bloc to do cause this problem but i think also what we have to remember is these protests are contained in the one or 2 streets so what are 2 streets in paris maybe every week getting smashed up but the rest of the city going about their weekend as normal and just lastly charlotte i mean i can see. in paris the crowds dispersed through is the sense that this could go on for a few more hours yet. no the crowds have been dispersed
10:44 am
what's happened is where the filing says you can see behind me so you know you've got the police then the barriers where all of that was taking place they were huge crowds but they have been dispersed from this particular section of the street we still can hear the protesters further down the march because this march is due to go towards the plastic. you know the protest this is still out this protest is set to be going on for about 4 hours and i think what we're about 3 hours into it at the moment so this still at least an hour to go and you know given what we've seen in previous weeks i would have thought that there will be a hardcore bunch of people that will refuse. at the end of the protest and we may see some more trouble this evening. i'm sure come back she to charlotte through the evening to you thanks for the update there was charlotte pinsky there reporting live from paris. now house where mass protests meaning
10:45 am
capital have been demanding that the country's prime minister there steps down many still angry over the nagorno-karabakh peace deal with neighboring azubuike the ceasefire ended the latest flare up in a conflict that's dragged on for decades it escalated in september and thousands of civilians dead and infrastructure damaged a russian broken agreement signed early in november with moscow sending in peacekeepers to restore calm however the public in our media have seen the deal is humiliating with the country signing over symbolic territories to as if you are. ok well let's go back to another big story today too because moscow has started to carry out mass vaccinations with the jab daily infections across russia have been on the rise since september and now exceed 28000 a day. i spoke with nikki. behind me is one of 70 most clinics
10:46 am
where a specialized fully equipped vaccination center is opened on saturday they will work from 8 am till 8 pm every day expecting to vaccinate hundreds of people daily earlier we heard from russia's president vladimir putin that the country had already produced 2000000 doses of the drug and ease ready for mass vaccination and to be honest russia needs it just as well as the entire world because corona virus cases grow and call that 19 related deaths can continue to remain on a very high level well the vaccination is on a voluntary basis but not everybody can get an injection here is deputy mayor about who will be the 1st to get sputnik could be fatal which it could have in the it's not simple shooting these groups have priority 1st tries to vaccination workers such as doctors and teachers who deal with a large number of people who are also nursing staff administrative as cleaners and other burkas in social institutions as they're also traced these candidates also
10:47 am
required to be in a good health condition of course aged 18 to 60 earlier mayor is sad that half of most care residents already mune to coronavirus $20000.00 of them got a sputnik the injection as a clinical trials volunteer is phase 3 of it still goes on but early interim results showed that sputnik the vaccine is over 95 percent effective $42.00 days after the 1st shot and it would be fair to mention that u.s. based foreign giants pfizer and moderna just recently also announced a similar efficacy of their of vaccines but russia is certainly the 1st to start mass vaccination now varia we know that you took part of the final stage of the vaccine trials can you tell us about your experience yes sure yes i am one of thousands of volunteers taking part in phase 3 of the clinical trials of sputnik the. it is what is known as double blind placebo trials when only 25
10:48 am
percent 75 percent of the participants get real drug and 25 percent of them get placebo and neither doctor is no participant supposed to know who is getting ward but i was too impatient and i made a blood test. first of all i have to tell you that i got the 1st shot in mid september and the 2nd 121 days later and couple of days after the 2nd chart i got a blood test that showed me that my body started producing antibodies g. and neither blood test i made just a couple of weeks ago showed that their number is growing and of course i'm very happy with that there were some side effects after the 1st shot on the 2nd shot but they faded away and it's nothing compared to the benefits i now have you know protected from coronavirus of course. ok let's return to our top story and defense in paris because protests continue this weekend over
10:49 am
a security bill that could stop the public from filming the police to gas is being used to disperse the crowds as tensions. thanks to. the thanks thanks. thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks. ok let's get the thoughts now france based political analyst thanks for coming on this evening what are your thoughts here nobody should be surprised do you think to see the sort of violence being seen this weekend in paris again. nobody should be
10:50 am
surprised that i'm definitely. going to have been very very clumsy on this global security guard i think they don't realize how the french are with the whole management of the situation the whole management of the confinement and we've got broad rocks asking people. certificates they've got to sign just to say that they're going to buy it so rare that they're going to see you know the person you know retire or people are fed up with that and this last thing that i was so that we've got to produce is a police state in our everyday lives and then people are obvious that it would not be allowed to film police brutality so this actually was something that struck and it's no surprise since it's going to continue people are really mad and that's from the streets and that's why we're seeing such violence don't forget that the demonstrations are not only in paris for we've got them all across the country today how do you think matt crumb will react this weekend. well i think there's something kind of tricky right and stan is using this situation that means this is
10:51 am
what he wants to show tonight this is what he wants mainstream media to show on t.v. he wants to show very violent images of demonstrations getting out of hand and this is going to many mainstream journalists are all going to say well look at this is the who we need more police they're not going to do the analysis of why people are so fed up why they're so mad and they're not going to show the images of the hundreds of thousands of french war in the streets today who are demonstrating peacefully who just don't want this police state the purposes of this police state they don't want any more none of those images are going to be shown so much at all i think he's he is in his couch eating popcorn watching this images because he knows that that's what he was going to show tonight and he wants to give himself the image of the peacemaker the one who is going to enforce police and who is going to calm the population part of the population who thought he was going to vote for him the next elections he didn't predict then he that he might rewrite part of this bill that would some say would prevent the public from filming the police. now ok
10:52 am
she's going to keep the bill go he's going to keep the bill and on this specific article she probably will rewrite it and have something softer something something smoother which will calm down everybody but the rest of the bill saying that people demonstrations will be filled by drones saying that there's going to be a reorganization between private security and national police on the shoulder every which is military all that will go through so i think he's he's he's quite a tactician and he's going to be using this to get the rest of the bill scheft i mean voted in this and both the houses of the of the parliament and probably wrote this letter this is something's going to get out to the demonstrators sorry the senate i've listened to you but the rest of the bill which is quite as dangerous as this for article probably will go through and that's that's that's quite scary. from your analysis i would then you would think that protests would continue for many more months to come if he's just going to sort of you know railroad 3 a bill like this. that is possible and i think people have got to get used to mary demonstrations which are going to continue because there's not only this situation
10:53 am
not only the start there's what i'm talking about these days the french economy is it really in a very very bad situation today we've got many people who are living on public life lines because stores have been closed people can't have not been to be a been able to order those stores are closed unemployment is going to rise you've got masses matches the figures of people get in getting sacked from the from the companies at the same time the sanitary situation casts its government main somebody to manage the whole campaign in france and this purpose this person admitted this week that he was in you know about single worth so this is the time lapse of intermission and his government and the classics government are getting out and people just want to there's a pilot in the plane so there will be demonstrations i think whatever it was because people just are sick and tired of this management of the whole senator situation the politician and don't see any results of what. and their. government are doing today at the same time can you sympathize with matt cronin probably with
10:54 am
many other governments around the world because they are faced with an unprecedented issue in cave 19. and they would argue that we're just doing what we can we have to lock down otherwise there would be a disaster for our health system we have to introduce this vaccine because potentially in it could be the break free we need i mean you can sympathize with their position to county. you definitely can and this is must be extremely complicated for any chief of state today however i think you've got to be extremely cautious in such a situation you cannot say at the beginning because france didn't have any mass go out and say as a member of the government of france that we don't need mass or not necessary against the covert and then a couple weeks later france buys hundreds and thousands and millions of masts and then sell their pretty well amassed are mandatory and then you go to say well we're going to shut down public services we're going to shut down shops but then you can go to the metro and so you can't go to the shop you can't go to church but you have people you have hundreds of people in metro stations one on top of the other with
10:55 am
these masks and that's without so people saying this is nonsense i mean if people are supposed to be separated initially everywhere whether it's in a church where there's a store whether it's in that and the metro people are saying there's too much controversy but contradictory information coming from people who government again as i said how could you name somebody who's going to be managing the vaccine campaign all over france and have this person say publicly he doesn't have that single word all this contradictory information showing that the person who's in charge of his government and their test experiment they actually don't know what to do with to do they don't know what's going on so the seat back on monday really on tuesday when i was there people say we need a real chief so you know. i would say president who is going to be able to take the hurricanes in this complicated situation i think french have been very very docile and they've accepted i think with extreme disability and the measures which are of in the past to. to go out of the house are going to sign
10:56 am
a paper for several months people cannot even go out of their houses and this is an extremely difficult situation for people who are getting poor isolated families who are separated from people who need to want to speak to the people this is extremely hard psychologically and financially and i think that they've been extremely though so i'm going to surprise there's only been a couple of the some of that some researchers are trying to got to have. and this hasn't happened to compare to the burden of the french are going through since they're not sure that since the beginning of the. arrival in france do people fail in france that they do have a political alternative to matt kroll nor is this just very much an get towards the establishment the government doesn't matter who's in charge you're not thinking about us or is there a party there is offering a different solution. now to do with the us and today actually there is the will definitely off from the left to the right somebody. who was more. on the left or a marine the pen on the right they will try to capitalize on this in the center
10:57 am
there definitely isn't anybody today and if he wants to take that that's what he wants and that's the majority of voters be different from the center left center right they're the ones who go out to vote a lot of the older people retired people to better them up or wants however it's there's not enough room at the innkeeper for any of these parties which are more on . today government parties there is room however for a newcomer i think everybody of the person you join a virus is going to be able to see france because people saying that they've tried everything so far and this is a work. for see this is the way it means for media presented for you to be elected this young man coming out of nowhere and a couple years or a few coming from the right to minister of finance to the president a lot of people were expecting a lot from an american to deceive and i think such a character would seem to be not of the same background probably not the same america could come up and i think
10:58 am
a lot of people in france are waiting for that they want to do something credible interesting i came to kind of look again after think that we've been at a time that was the kind of america that front space political analyst thanks he time tonight thank you thank you. will be back with the headlines in a couple minutes. seemed wrong. just don't. get to shape out. and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.
10:59 am
thank you. but still. it will. give equal goulet of mere hire. someone get a. little bit the. image of what. are.
11:00 am
some of the. headlines this more angry in from plans to ban the public from filming the police the u.n. says the new security bill is incompatible with human rights however insists it won't be dropped although it could be seen. russia start 3 mass vaccinations against 19 in the capital we look at who's 1st in line to get the job but. we need to understand that this is not going to be. the head of the international red cross warns that vaccines won't solve all the problems with the virus to come. to us. but we'll just have to wait to be an.
