from moscow thanks for joining us tonight on our to international i'm daniel hawkins swell come to the program. paris has been engulfed in renewed unrest over a controversial security bill police used tear gas at the situation as the situation spiraled out of control there's been huge anger over plans to protect police officers by handing them extra powers and boosting surveillance with more from the french capital here's a shot of the. huge tension seen in paris in the last hour where we have seen a number of what i would describe this action grabs by the police it's obviously much more organized not what you'll have members over the security force is going to try wrapping up and they think of causing trouble perhaps likely to use trouble you saw one man dragged from the crowd by the officers followed tensions were. actually moving through the offices. first i had seen gas already deployed a fact

a woman point at 2 gas was being used directing from air so sprays axe the protests we saw many people trying to get away from that and suffering the impacts of sea gas. well 7 i just want to give you a sense of how big this crowd is because it's only me as we're getting closer to the end of this protest the march to the public so we understand really how many people come out there are thousands and thousands are trying to get a camera to me to look up the street which is completely packed and then if it's

possible to turn the camera around you'll see how many people are still coming and then the lights over the police behind. the police seem to be used to huge a restraint a we haven't seen the clouds of tear gas that we've seen in previous protests but we did see the water come in use to try and crew people down there were other demonstrations across the country as well all against the global security lord our people are unhappy with article 24 specifically this would have criminalized individuals who published images of the police if there was intent to hold that thought provoked she knew john feehery here in front as a result parliamentarians are going to rewrite justice if it goes. but people are

angry again today not just about that not just about the global security law but also a new law that was approved by the french cabinet in the week that is the law that was originally named the separatism nor it's now the promoting republican values lou and this also contains an article which is very very similar to that controversial article $24.00 that is that it would become a criminal act to post images of somebody online if they could be identified armed if there was intent to home so take out the word police and it's essentially the same act now the police are also unhappy they thought that that controversial article 20 food beer measure to protect them from the types of threats that they face on a daily basis as a result of that their police union wanted actually for this measure to be

strengthened even further so they're unhappy that this is being rewritten and the police are also unhappy about some of the comments made by president michel in the last week he said in an interview that the police are controlling more people who are known white than white and the police of essentially taken not as to say that the president is suggested that they racist problem it unsecured our police the problem is that the police lock resources and personnel they lock many things and when they ask for help no one is listening on the other side with and criticize the police which i think is like a step in the bath explication mccrone ends up telling the media that the police are racist i can guarantee my colleagues are not racist because they are today if they demonstrate and if they continue to demonstrate it is to show you that they are not racist and no there is no visual control of it in the us. this is it.

oh please i think you would think. least the last piece. i'm going to. renewed fighting has been reported in the disputed and i'm going to cut about region one month into a ceasefire is accused of attacking its military positions on a course that has the details. russian peacekeepers who are there they have already confirmed that the cease fire had indeed been broken on friday and at the moment russian peake peacekeepers are demanding that this side sticks to the truce so that no more people would die but speaking of this latest incident according to our media and are a block defense ministry well they claim they are but john carried out attacks on villages near god drouet which is in the car box but not controlled by there by

john and apparently 3 people or wounded on december 11th at 8 40 pm the enemy attempted to attack our southern military positions as a result 3 reservists received gunshot wounds varying degrees of severity their lives are not in danger. by john of all they have also issued a statement and they claim that their forces are indeed observing this you spar which was brokered just last month and indeed it was armenia who made some provocative actions and somehow violated the truce some words about my car back it is of course internationally recognized as by john but it is mainly by ethnic armenians and it's been a source of major tensions in the last few decades and the latest of course a very bloody flare up happened in september and lasted for over

a month thousands of soldiers died and i was there by john in armenia nagorno-karabakh as well and find the and did around the member that's and when the sides agreed to a cease fire which was brokered by a russian i so. the decision has been taken as a result of analysis of the military situation and brains to lease and most of people who have been most familiar with the military situation. for my part i would like to see it done very. we've seen a good deal to subtly years on conflict between the media and. the occupation. i mean you know that now by john they saw the results of this brief but very bloody conflict and the ensuing cease fire as somewhat of someone was actually so weak and they even held the picture they parade in both gould and speaking of that that's where they parade the president of. turkey it was shipped to the guards he

also arrived and when he came over during the parade the entire city of oakland was dressed and. there by john flags now speaking about the other side of this cease fire. at the moment the many ethnic armenian refugees are returning to board me. which is one of the control that trying to rebuild their lives and meanwhile people in the neighboring armenia are very unhappy many feel very betrayed they're stepping onto the streets and the whole country is now in the gulf in protest and their demand is for the prime minister nicole to resign as soon as possible and many are blaming him for what had happened now we'll see what happens next you know a cease fire in that region is very shaky at this one has been sacked for over a month already hopefully it will stick or noise and middle east specialist shallow

believes moscow will have to work hard to save the things 5. as abrasion has an age . as it were a journey back military lead weight who key and what is real and i feel as if i don't want it of dominant position now and wants to reclaim or to. care about and. as it were a journey for them get their say the your hat rochelle which he's there and he's trying to control the russian think a lot of money actually now in armenia and the. population back in kerala because they want to do one they want to keep. at the same live look and they want to have the advantage and the advantage and the edge of it was not one that we need in the other one this family run with. me because usually both parties see it's the other party. in order to have

a reason to launch back at this moment we don't know what the you know what the truth is but there what we not do this is a very for peace and it has to be. controlled by the russian. texas republicans are calling for action after their legal challenge to the presidential election was struck down by the supreme court the local party chairman has said the state should now think about cutting loose from washington the supreme court and tossing the texas lawsuit has decreed that a state can take unconstitutional actions and violate its own election law perhaps law abiding states should band together and form a union of states that will abide by the constitution or the west isn't alone with that view earlier in the week republican texas state lawmaker said he wants to plan a referendum on whether to seen from the united states he said the federal government was out of control and didn't represent the values of the state. this is

a referendum for the people of texas to be able to make their voices heard people are all fired up right now and should learn that they have been left out for many many years tags it now without fail actions we have no country fox is now promoting tex it secession look for trump to become this pathetic new country's 1st president so long texas it was nice knowing you i love this idea old true trumpeters should move to texas is good a wall and everything then he can be president of your country since he won't be here you can even vote again like you want please all of you go political commentator chadwick more body of the story highlights the growing political rift between out of state. next is talk about this program one time though it's sort of in the texas soul to see itself as going it alone star state it's a state slogan to threaten to leave and god bless them and if they did the good

luck to them and god bless them as well but i'm not sure that we see that happening it does seem to be a sort of emotional response at this point however it does express how alienated feeling right now how washington is too big how a couple major cities way too much political control and the supreme court refused to your most people believe because they're frightened because the media declared the winner of this election not the electoral process but the media and the people of the media the corporate interests the control media announced the president and the supreme court many people believe simply said that they don't want to step in on this. while the u.s. u.k. and canada have already approved covert vaccines that you use exercising caution saying safety must come 1st over the block is seeking ways to encourage people to take over jobs once approved brussels has suggested vaccination certificates for e.u. wide recognition of korda virus test results it's part of efforts to ease restrictions

and allow more trouble right now the european union is working full speed to review the safety of vaccines sent to make them available. we had the opportunity to reach an agreement on how to proceed with 19 vaccines and establish a common system for the validity of tests or critics claim though vaccinations are difficult to could impact civil liberties by calling you know neil put the issue up for debate. i'm nervous about the idea of having these travel as certificates or these certificates that say you've had the coronavirus vaccine because what that means is that actually will then end up being a coronavirus passport so i think the thing is to encourage rather to rather than to make sure people are automatically told they have to have it it should not be compulsory go green with the gentleman there no problem but for air travel. each

should be made compulsory by the airlines to make sure that the people on the plane are sent to blah blah about 3 don't accept or that's exactly what the problem is we got such. a group who are going to be taking you know not giving up all information and so i think there will be more people who are going to pick who profession probably outlooks you reach certain they're very concerned return to rush this flight she has come out there who already. are right now this is nothing against covering vets. but this it's really really hurting a. lot that serve the european union hasn't really. isn't concerned the one thing i would say to the european union is if you stop having so much bureaucracy and let those countries decide for themselves they would have vaccines by now i think that's an incredibly dangerous thing to say this is been in the making for 20 years we've had a rolling review is this is going on this vaccine is safe the m h

r 8 would not license this vaccine if they did not believe it was safe and the problem is when you start to spread those sorts of rumors that's why people won't be vaccinated and the more you tell them you have to have a vaccine and people believe that there is some sort of miletus thing going on then people will not take up that vaccination and therefore we undo all the good work that's been done to date certain conspiracy theories and go our bordering on factual know looking as if they're going to be happening and this is just going to fuel those more extreme conspiracy theories that one of the bill gates trying to use vaccines the plant microchips and people this is simply going to reinforce their fears isn't it yes i somehow i believe absolutely. i'm sorry. you shouldn't believe these people of ours who claim such crazy ideas over time in the coming months and years we will know about the long term goals that sank seen and also such occasion and maybe we'll need to do it again and maybe there will be

a 2nd version at all and that will improve the years but we need to save the economy now. still ahead on the program christmas is more the out the trimmings some of germany's famous festive markets are a no show this year amid surging covert infections story and more offer a short break. you are discussing a new school of economics economics and this is really brought about by negative interest rates means contact with. human history has always seen continuous war. but in recent years it seems to have

become more intense platforming is no common practice public scrutiny of a permanent feature where do we all stand on the battlefield of belief. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic. only move. will be very critical time to sit down and. welcome back to the program surging covert infections have seen the plug pulled on many of germany's famous christmas markets cases in the country have been steadily

climbing since october authorities say the festive attractions at the heart of many cities are too much of a risk to all of a more. usually where i'm talking to you from would be the scene of one of the busiest christmas markets it's not to be this year there's no room at the inn for the christmas market due to the global pandemic but one thing that's a memory of christmas past is the smells of mold wine the still on sale at the restrictions on selling our coal will harm my business we will leave lots of income as things stand we can stay here until the 20th december maybe will be allowed to open up again after the lockdown is over but the sale of a couple of festive cheer is causing a divide in the country though while bars and restaurants of being forced to close on the germany's lock down lights mulled wine the stalls have become a place to congregate prompting some politicians to warn that they may be leading to the spread of covert 19 across the country build one stands subvert our contact

restrictions i don't understand why the city of cologne allows this in the end this will lead to new infections and that's it will be time for that later when we are vaccinated the owners of these stalls disagree though. i think we should do everything we can to stop the spread of this virus we wear masks and observe the 2 meters distance rule and disinfect our hands even germany's most famous christmas market in nuremberg is closed they've had to make changes to traditions going back to the 16th century with this year's chris kindle christ child opening the advent season from a local t.v. studio. this year everything is different the coronavirus crisis is preventing us from doing many things in the run up to christmas such as advent celebrations and gathering at the christmas market would have been. locked down restrictions that were brought in back in november haven't had the desired effect in getting the

number of cases of covert 90 down that means that the federal. government here in berlin and the leaders of germany 16 states are going to have to thrash out a new set of restrictions even if that means putting christmas spirit on hold if i don't think this needs met as hard as it is and i know how much care has gone into setting up the mood to go in and walk instead it's not compatible with what we agree to take food away and it is hung up and really story from the bottom of my heart i think the price is 590 days that in my saddle is obviously the public don't want to cancel christmas but i spoke to people here and asked them what they thought about these mulled wine stalls being no it's not very christmassy like to try to find a balance between not being scarce and. trying to have

a good time maybe i think it's not good they do open at the same time is a little bit sad because it's christmas and they're very won't be together joy just . as it is a bit sad that there's not so much to do at this time but i think we need to be cautious and i suppose those few places with mulled wine should remain open it's clear from onboard merkel's address to the bundestag that the chancellor wants to see things go further sacrificing christmas spirit in the name of safety peter all over r.t. . the british city of birmingham has been branded what ville because of the names given to 6 new streets include diversity grove equality road and humanity close the names were suggested by a member of the public as part of a contest with the winner chosen by a panel of judges but ridicule and accusations of virtue signalling soon followed.

these new street names are completely vacuous was 0 connection to the people history or culture of birmingham another labor initiative the politicize ation of our landscape continues the utter meaningless banality of these new names speaks volumes about the new hollow normal anyway about cross close compliance present work wash way i'm calling it now someone's going to put a d at the end of humanity close. a radio host to columnist john gaunt believes it would have been better to choose names reflecting the city's history with. this is political correctness gone mad this is snowflakes having a field day how ridiculous to name the streets in these close is in this way it's virtue signaling it's i'm sure it's not in june with most birmingham people it doesn't reflect what birmingham is well birmingham's becoming birmingham is

a mordent thrusting city but we could talk about the achievements of birmingham and birmingham people there's loads of people not necessarily people but organization bands groups great achievements they couldn't name the south but no they want to slugger the demo day and they're politically correct it's an absolute joke and i'm sure that brahma jordan every working class birmingham people will be laughing at this as much as everybody else a quick look now at other world news stories making headlines clashes have continued in albania after a man was shot dead by police and forcing a coronavirus curfew with her sister to flares and fireworks at officers who responded with tear gas and water cannon dozens of arrests were made. from 2000 people gathered in jerusalem for the latest protest against the prime minister demanding benjamin netanyahu resign accusing him of corruption and poor homeland of
