11:02 am
ok let's go to charlotte pinsky then who's in paris forest we were just looking there at some ballance scenes over the last couple of hours and it looks like charging from where you are things haven't come time. you know they haven't come down as you can see we've just moved up the street and you get a sense that there's another fire taking place now we've also been given a warning by some of those who are starting the problem say that they're going to be listening to everything that we've said and they may not be happy about that suggest to give you warning about that but as you can see still more tensions here in paris this fire has been lit just outside the bank populaire the bank is also being smashed in at the furniture brought out the back not so popular
11:03 am
in paris today you can see that there are also the fires of the furniture taking place you see us working up the firefighters just arrived to try and take control of this situation we've already seen about 5 cars being put on fire and i just behind me we have a rule of police officers who are just coming up and that means they're going to try and secure this area we're just going to move back to not completely cool it in the fray but that's that line of police officers there as the firefighters are trying she controls this fire and to control the situation here we saw violence very early on today in paris and a bully protest is if you were throwing rocks and claw spotless at the police and also paint smashing against them sue the police have been responding with cheap. gas all of the news now the reason for this protest is against the global
11:04 am
security particularly articles 21222424 is the one you probably know the most about that has already been said it will be rewritten back to the region he said they would criminalize people publishing images of the police if those images were with the intent to home psychologically or physically to the police but there's also issues over all article $22.00 which is the use of drones surveillance here in france an article $21.00 which would allow police officers to web body cams and to make live transmissions of their missions now it's not just been criticism from junior stick union n.g.o.s but also the e.u. and we've had independent u.n. experts saying this week that the entire more needs to be rewritten because it is incompatible with international human rights we heard from president mccall on
11:05 am
friday a wide ranging interview where he talked about a lot of the issues in front at the moment he touched on this issue when he touched on police a pilot said he didn't want to call it police pilots he said that there was violence in society and they was violence within the police but he didn't want to politicize the issue and he didn't think it was an institutional problem this never listen to what else president mark or had to say during that interview. yet live you know as an associate the there is one in society there is racism in society in france today this is a franked therefore as a police reflect society some members of the police force display violent behavior that we must go off and punish me. so i would just get caught in the tear gas here just when you don't have enough it's just been released. by the police officers as they're trying to control the
11:06 am
situation so the firefighters couldn't do their job have you know many of the people who are against article 24 and the global security you all say the problem with it is that there has been this is the mix issues in terms of violence within the police force and if cities fall say for example that film police officers all they know evil to show police talent not be problematic not in the last week or so we had several examples of exactly why those images are so important police offices carrying out the clearing of them are you going and it was said to be used excessive force that was cool to on camera with journalists saying that they could be in a tax returns that evening by the offices it was also the case of the black music producer who was seen the outside of these studio images that show
11:07 am
president mccord and then last week at the global security go protests there was a syrian capital profile who was also he by the police she said so huge issues here in france and in regards to the cover of protest she tensions on the streets in paris but these protests not just taking place here in paris but also taking place across florence with almost 90 other demonstrations people really wanting to get out and show how intolerant they are to the idea of this law taking place just briefly show that while you're there while you can still speak that dusk is falling now in paris does it look like these protests are going to continue for some hours yet. but i'm sure i don't know if you're still talking to be but we're getting scrambled flying at the moment. charlotte i was shot at the when ski reporting from paris in the thick of the protesters taking. it's there at the moments all day with
11:08 am
this new security bill which people to feel potentially could prevent the public from filming the police but our thanks to charlotte charlotte been reporting in paris well earlier i discussed the current that rage over the draft law with nicole america he's a france based political enemies we should be surprised that eventually. we're going to have been very very clumsy on this global security i think they don't realize the french are with the whole management of the covert and situation the whole management of the confinement and we've got people. certificates they've got to sign just to say that they're going to buy some bread or that they're going to see a person in the retired hall people are fed up with that and this last thing that i will say that we've got the promises of a police state in our everyday lives and then people are all said it would not be allowed to police brutality so this actually was something that's trough and it's
11:09 am
no surprise since it's going to concede people really mad and that's one of the streets and that's why we're seeing such violence don't forget that the demonstrations are not only an absolute got them all across the country today how do you think macro react this weekend. what to do something stan is using this situation that means this is what he wants to show tonight this is what he wants mainstream media to show on t.v. he wants to show what the very violent images of demonstrations getting out of hand and this is going to many mainstream journalists are all going to say this is the who we need more all these are 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 who are in the streets today or demonstrating peacefully who just don't want this police state the promises of this police say they don't want it anymore and those images are going to be shown so much at all i think he's cute isn't his couch eating popcorn watching this images because he knows that that's what he was going to show today and he wants to give himself the image of the
11:10 am
peacemaker the one who is going to enforce the police and who is going to arm the with the population part of the population who he thought he was going to vote for in the next elections. in other news tonight moscow has started to carry out to mass vaccinations but the. japanese any infections across russia have been on the rise since september and now exceed 28000 the day. behind me is one of 70 most clinics where a specialized fully equipped to x. nation center is opened on saturday they will work from 8 am to 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 coronavirus cases grow and call that 19 related deaths can continue to remain on a very high level well the vaccination is on
11:11 am
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 also trace candidates also required to be in a good health condition of course aged 18 to 60 earlier mayor is sad that half of moscow residents already mune to corona virus 20 thousands of them got a sputnik the injection as clinical trials volunteers phase 3 of it still goes on but early interim results showed that the vaccine is over 95 percent effective $42.00 days after the 1st shot and it would be fair to mention
11:12 am
that u.s. based foreign giant spies are and were there not 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 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 an award 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.
11:13 am
and now other blood tests 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 and 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. they said to be given to keep workers in the health and education sectors and it is it will ease the pressure on hospital or so across the country kosofsky found 20 trysted siberia. russia's future should. be out on the 27th of october at 10 pm 3 ambulances came here to the office local health department they parked like this too along the curb and the 3rd drove right dark to the entrance for 12 hours they would be driving around the town to hospitalize the sick and every hospital refused yet. i'm
11:14 am
standing right now in front of the health department there 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 32 had i think shouldn't and they brought oxygen to the 3rd one. because when we drive the same patient around for 12 hours the oxygen tank runs out in 4 and i want as 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. brigade essentially. an ordinary course and then they realize the person has community acquired pneumonia and. that person was 17 years old and the situation. was that they were going to die right that yes you will take the patients they take an oxygen tank they start calling the ambulances and dispatch. comes from the ambulance station so they start calling the station
11:15 am
saying these guys we have a patient here 1st of all if they don't have p.p. themselves i took pictures loaded that they only had the usual uniforms. they weren't ready for anything. they only had ordinary masks disposable ones so she says guys we have a code patient and they say wait we're looking for. we're looking just goes on for 12 hours straight but at some point they lost their patience and. we couldn't get to no insania where else we decided to ask directly maybe someone will respond. 100 percent he's hospitalization. i cannot send her home these are for humane or medical reasons there is no where to drive her to because war and given the necessary information we hope to be able to say something here that. despite the risks of working with kavan patients there's been a shortage of volunteers coming forward to help the international red cross and red crescent say that they've been overwhelmed by offers from around the globe this
11:16 am
year in response to an unprecedented humanitarian need r.c. has witnessed equally unprecedented humanitarian kindness with hundreds of thousands of people joining the red cross red crescent family put the 1st dime all the while can turn dealing with the terrible impacts of covert 19 on the road wives the response from those wanting to help has been high across the globe with european countries in particular recording tens of thousands of sign ups we asked people what spurred them to come forward. i started one tearing with the red cross in the beginning of this year after i cope with the isolation facility and the reason why i started wanting with the red cross there is because i had actually stayed at the facility when i have come back and august and the red cross that so much for me and i really want to do something for them and give back to the red cross and the society i really recommend doing it to get to know a lot of different people from different backgrounds and being able to do something
11:17 am
good for society in this situation when the pandemic started i began to actively participate in their ration retros response to call the 19 i decided it was my time with this terrifying tearing in their. in this difficult period. because i understand their heart how much help and how much support is needed to every person especially on their for their elderly and lonely people and my colleague mccarron spoke more about this with the secretary general of the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies we have seen a many many people young volunteers people who tear score report want to support this is primarily motivated by our principle of humanity and our principle of
11:18 am
universality because these seeds are truly a global crisis and without global so we've got a deep we cannot contain this this pandemic so that's what we've got it is that mainly it's a part of the sort of what do you think of the main difficulties these lot in tears come across almost every 2 years have i that their family members and friends or colleagues also affected by time in the sawai contending with their own personal suffering and sometimes personal loss but they are also somewhat a bit to express that group will slowly go. com part of what to do to help others but also initially there was a short is a personal protective equipment there was also not enough information information that was needed to ensure that they can go forward and volunteer in a safe environment. but we have surely learned dorsett practices to protect her peepee materials have been now available more easily but there are 2 other elements
11:19 am
you know that it's also in many part of the world that is the stigma around i don't depend that doesn't help we have also seen betty increased. increased number of mental health issues increases in domestic violence issues so when the woman tears want to help to deal with the pandemic there are also seeing that at the same time they also have to support people on the mental health issues domestic violence issues stigma issues and what are your thoughts on the kind of vaccines being rolled out next week i do think that going to threaten the tide of infections. i think they could actually have definitely going to be helpful but we need to also understand that this is not going to be a silver bullet just because of accident and now being rolled out that it will suddenly stop the vita's that's not going to happen unfortunately i did it is still a massive need for production and distribution to look stickle distributors and challenge would be would be
11:20 am
a massive. cultural and ability of vaccine especially the part the countries you know the countries who don't have the finance it means to put approaches that are actually right now so i think that it could in the distribution of factories all around the world would be critical and we have somewhere to go to these that point . watching us international will be going live back to paris just after the break for the latest on those protests this taking place in the french capital. those and the big community are extremely positive about the future because big coin solves a lot of problems i we face because of money because of central banks even the
11:21 am
11:22 am
back here with our team which is looking here at some more live pictures from paris to see from my protests are taking place again this weekend a security bill that could stop the public from filming the police will take asked has been used to disperse the crowds and here are some scenes from over the last couple of hours. we have got our reporter in paris charlotte pinsky back with this now charlotte looking at pictures over the last few hours of
11:23 am
a lot of violence and we can hear plenty of protests continuing to on the streets in paris just took us through where you are and what you can see. while we're on the route that was officially approved which we import to listen plasters public in france we're already probably about halfway through the route but the violence spill during the very early on in the protests i want to give you a sense of where we are right now we just outside the bank that was completely smashed up by some of the demonstrators you can see that a scooter a motorcycle outside was there the bank itself was smashed people went inside they took the furniture from inside the bank brought it out and then they set these fires outside the pankisi completely and utterly have trashed this particular bank that there have been other businesses that have been trashed like this on this street here in paris and we've also seen
11:24 am
a number of cause as well there has been huge violence from the protesters towards the police people have been picking up pavements from the floor i mean as if you can see on the ground all around me the detriment everywhere that was thrown at the police officers last portals. boy works just throw them there was paint being used and of course the police responding with tear gas now there is this accusation that there is an issue with violence within the police since this is one of the reasons why people have been so angered against this global security law is that there was that one provision not call 24 which could have criminalize the publication of images of the police if they was cool with the intent to harm the police however parliamentarian say that they're going to revive that particular part of the law or the person can get a wide ranging interview on friday where this issue of police violence was brought
11:25 am
up and he agreed that there was some problems within the police but he certainly didn't feel that it was in demick. yet. there is violence in society there is racism in society in france today this is a fact therefore as a police reflect society some members of the police force display violent behavior . and punish. thousands of people once again coming out to the streets of paris to protest not more but not just about police violence but also about other issues within the law that they're unhappy about that includes the provision for the use of drone surveillance to surveil protests like this and the idea of police officers using body cameras and being able to live transmit images you know many people are really furious about that and there is also a consumer from why the quote is well not just the e.u.
11:26 am
which is talks about this pops being an issue in terms of democracy but also independent u.n. experts in the last few days of criticize not just articles 2122 and 24 but actually the entire bill saying that it needs to be completely be written because it is at the moment incompatible with international human rights here on the ground in power. yes huge protests but there are also protests taking place across france there are 90 in all and i think you can just get a sense of the rocks on the ground now i'm not saying all of these with from the police but there was intent to the least some of them being picked up towards the police officers so you can get a sense of the violence that police officers face in their line of duty particularly when they come. protests like this and there really is a massive security presence but for the moment things do feel a little bit calmer than they have been over the last few hours yes charlotte i've
11:27 am
just been looking at sort of the people behind you that they do seem to be predominantly young males is up an unfair reflection on the type of people that have been protesting today has there been a much broader cross-section. this is definitely a much broader cross-section of people who came out to protest at the beginning but the reality is those who came out because they were called do so by june least unions by n.g.o.s people from all walks of life but there are people who came out perhaps not to be involved in the kind of violence that we've seen the violence that unfolded last week you know these are people who will to show that they've got the right to assembly to have their voices heard but they know here for the carnage that we've seen and when we do see this kind of carnage you will see people trying to record from that so we know about a kilometer from where we're standing behind us that's where the main protesters are still i mean if we just turn around you might be able to see right at the top
11:28 am
of that street there is a helium balloon this palace so these are the most part the protesters if they still out there who they will be able to finish their march towards. but yes what you're seeing in those images are generally the individuals who've come here to cause problems they known in france is the black blocks and there has been. poole's over the last few weeks queries as to why this group of youths turned up in so many protests and cause problems are not being dealt with i mean making the penus the head of the national rally here in france she said exactly the same she said she couldn't understand after years of protests why people haven't been able to do something with this group this group of used to be anti capitalist sente fascists and from the extreme left of the political spectrum and there is a sense that it is the same group of individuals who come to each protest and they're the ones that are causing the problems and you still mashaal it have you
11:29 am
seen any arrests yourself today. no no arrests that i've seen so far but let's be clear there are thousands of people in this demonstration there are police officers all around i'm sure there have been individuals who are taken in we do see regular detentions of individuals who are causing problems at the protest the problem we understand is that most of them are being released within a couple of days there is a sense in and i have no evidence of this but i've certainly been told that many of them she come from wealthier families and they go all in fact the group are using their own funds to provide legal means for the individuals to get them out of jail because it does not come from that's things i hear from people to king it's very difficult to establish who the black bloc so there are sensor like a cell where there is one individual who's in contact with 6 people those 6 people may be in contact with others but they're not cross pollinating not giving the
11:30 am
details to each other which means it could be very difficult to break up a cell like this and to get information about them and perhaps to stop them from causing this carnage but we also know that it's just not the carnage we see on the streets but there's also a real hatred from this group to woods journalists you know. we've seen ourselves being attacked for filming things where they feel that we're showing their faces i think today you might have seen your crew the roughly crew here we saw that they were being told to stop filming and we were ourselves in the last hour that they would be people listening to what we were reporting on and they would be watching to see exactly what we were filming so there is a sense of malice towards the press from this group as well because they don't want to be cool. and just you.
