the headlines this hour vladimir putin congratulates joe biden home victory in the u.s. presidential election and expresses russia's willingness to work together it's after the u.s. electoral college declared in the. activists a new crowd control tactics by french police to smash and grab or a mass violation of human rights and press freedoms also to come here in our city we're now in the last of a slum boise jack explains to us why he believes that the corona virus means that our world will never be the same again. on the turkish president his time to washington for sanctions imposed over ankara's

purchase of a russian missile defense system. by an issue good model we expect supports not sanctions from our nature and the united states of america. but i welcome you watching r.t. international this change day afternoon is just gone for. hooted has congratulated joe biden on victory in the u.s. presidential election is after members of the electoral college across the united states officially declared biden the winner well the russian president had waited for that official confirmation of the when putin says that any contact with the new administration is welcome and that cooperation is in everybody's interest however from still says that his legal challenge over alleged voter fraud will continue meanwhile the trumpet ministrations attorney general has resigned yearly and found

no evidence of widespread election fraud with more on this is. donald trump is still not conceding donald trump says he is the legitimate winner of the 2020 election you know it's not over we keep going and we're going to continue to go forward we have numerous local cases where you know in some of the states a good rig from the from us now there was a last ditch effort to try and to try and you know win the white house for trump in the supreme court and we saw the state of texas file to have the results in the state of georgia in pennsylvania michigan and wisconsin overturned based on allegations of fraud the supreme court opted not to hear the case they threw it out of court and as a result today's electoral college voting proceeded and there was a vote and it joe biden has pulled ahead as the clear winner of that vote with a clear majority now in the aftermath of the supreme court turning down trumps

trumps proposal and trumps case and the texas intervention we saw leaders of the texas republican party talk about the need to form some kind of union of what they're referring to as a law abiding states to 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 bond together and form a union of states that will abide by the constitution now divisions in the united states are intensifying there have been repeated clashes between the left wing and right wing protesters across the country just this weekend we saw crowds of proud boys that's a right wing organization clashing with left wing activists and there was violence the police actually declared the situation to be a riot after shots were fired. it's

pretty clear that on january 20th joe biden will be sworn in as the $46.00 president of the united states it'll be on january 6th that congress approves the electoral college votes and that seems to be pretty unstoppable at this point however that's unlikely to reunify the country there's a lot of distrust a lot of anger a lot of animosity from supporters feel this election was stolen from them trump's opponents are still very angry about things that have gone on over the last 4 years and it's very unlikely that the inauguration of joe biden is going to simply heal these wounds a lot of deep divisions and us society. that was accountable and that was the eagle and media analysts lionel says that the u.s.

electoral college system in his opinion he stands up to best practice i'm going to be the president of the united states what is defeat number of states i can win to get 270 electoral votes to not desire really the biggest state but they normally comprise in terms of size. out of the 50 states you would need only win 11 this was done in 2012 the number may have changed somewhat but just think about this 11 states the biggies california new york etc and it would comprise 27 percent of the popular vote and you could be president you want to target or try that one out for size the idea of this is simply this your and it's not that you are voting in the old days nobody could trusted the citizen to understand the complexity of the of this the founding fathers didn't want necessarily senators to vote but he thought there we were just too too busy with plowing and herding cattle to understand this

that's why the electors would meet oftentimes while after the election because it took so long for them to get to their state capitals it seems archaic it seems anachronistic but there's an incredible brilliance send this b.s. if you're the winner it balances out if you're the loser is entered the lovy and it's archaic isn't a clarion it's ass to fight so it depends on whose ox is gored but i love the system i just love because it's part of who we are confused and screwed up. by wooden miscible abuse that's how human rights and media groups have branded police behavior recent protests against the new security bill in the french capital more than $140.00 people into journalists were arrested including 3 controversial or foresman tactics dubbed smash and grab each other devinsky as more. so today's protest against the draw floors on security and in trying the public in value so

police deploy new crowd control tactics. essentially assume ash and grab security forces smashing into the protests and grabbing out individuals who they think may be troublemakers nearly 150 people were detained provoking anger from some that describe these detentions as being. this saturday december 12th a number of observers saw inadmissible abuse linked to the deployment of brutal police and military offices and the infringement of the right to demonstrate that includes mass arrests and justify charging to break up a procession and detention without legitimate reason beyond legal limits. i was

at the police station over several protesters were held including a 17 year old young woman this underage girl was arrested at saturday's demonstration she didn't do anything wrong said she was protesting and recording police officers on camera this is unspeakable it was just protesters being detained to kill lists were also taken in one was suspected of planning to orchestrate violence refusing to obey a police dispersal order and covering their face now given the current mood in france with concerns being raised about press freedom there are fears in some quarters that this is a slippery slope it could lead to mature that the strategy of paris police force is to dissuade people from protesting and this is unacceptable the main aim of this strategy is to cast doubt on the. right to protest in fact many people got arrested for no apparent reason whatsoever this is some kind of communication complaint to

persuade people that the government has stopped violent and aggressive actions but they did not and this is unbearable. it comes as the latest press freedom index shows that france has dropped down the list among the concerns include problems for reporters covering demonstrations having their equipment confiscated and being injured at protests not just by the police but even by demonstrators themselves sometimes there is also a red flag over judicial investigations and attempts to force journalists to reveal their contacts there was also a disturbing increase in judicial harassment of investigative reporters aimed at identifying their sources the french government says it respects press freedoms but these are new tactics and the detention of journalists is likely to add to the fury

problems when some warning that the list of any admissible abuses is growing by the day so what do you think ski auti paris however the officers themselves the rule so furious at how they are being treated in the french capital stage their own protest or what they see as a lack of protection from the government over public abuse and harassment. to speak on behalf of the colleagues who are behind me who suffer every day outside who are abused and harassed because we must know that it also impacts our families wives children and parents it affects a lot of people and we need the support without that we won't move forward. so there is little doubt that it has impacted all our lives in one way or another and in an article for r.t. dot com the renowned philosopher. there will be no return to normal once the pandemic is over but we asked the slovenian academic to expand on why and he says it's because the crisis has opened up opportunities to control people like never

before. ah. that's great if we can save our lives. we were just afraid. to you know perspective now i think it's happening would be so much smarter but a lot cheaper and the same time people are afraid lest they die to go all socialized and so it's no dispiriting dream and those now we have a bank and an already small enjoyment like let's enjoy it while it lasts who knows what will happen i did a virus she's waiting to die. or something although i am far measures low down and. many use decent book establish. oath that only we do so we're going to do what i call a post human state of being totally legal don't get me

on the horizon even the prospect of so why are brain. mind process recently been dealing. with doesn't need to be exaggerating here and you. think we should. have. that we learned from. aids did me. you really did. interest and so the point today scientists yes these books you believe. they are all in the being that many many millions. deny science

i usually go on with. the same. she tells me. most of them are me. and you. only knew. that washington has imposed sanctions on turkey over its purchase of russia's s $400.00 missile defense system and angry president said that he had expected better treatment. not what we expect supports not sanctions from our nato ally the united states of america in our battle against terrorist organizations and forces that have plans for our region. turkey is a valued ally and an important regional security partner for the united states and we seek to continue our decades long history of productive defense sector cooperation by removing the obstacle of turkey's s 400 possession as soon as

possible embargoes targeted fish or from turkish top defense procurement and development body will be frozen and these are strict it russia's foreign minister says the move breaks international role but he's not surprised. but look at your solution should. this is of course another example of arrogance towards international law a manifestation of illegitimate unilateral coercive measures that the united states has been using for many years even decades left and right and of course it doesn't increase us or thora to you on the international arena is a responsible participant in the international division of labor including military and technical cooperation. or abort the s $400.00 defense system last year washington had threatened to punish turkey ever since claiming that the system is a danger to nato istanbul based political analyst with them says that does have

plenty of ways to retaliate if he wants to. it's a huge snow because we see the americans saying that they want to give diplomacy a chance but throughout this whole s 400 process being acted very asymmetrical the various unilaterally certainly will try to reciprocate and complicate things for the united states in the bilateral relations and american activity in the region as well start you can also see by us whether it is turkey to cease producing parts for the f. $35.00 there's american presence in georgia the airdate american presence that should it you can read our station but i don't think you will take any very aggressive steps right now especially with the new administration coming in and we've already seen the turkish president called for a review of the sanctions where he told being that they could be lifted or go to the forward to say on the way here we take a closer look at the latest left playing tonight right to my russian security

security service to tug opposition to get that thing about them to come to suffer the pressure. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going foundation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to lose is i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by our own personal those.

who dares thinks. we dare to ask. welcome back now an investigation wish to claim it can name and shame russian agents my dream media outlets have published extensive and sensationalise details of security operatives home hales and the opposition figure alexina valmy since 2017 as our senior correspondent voted against you have now explains there are more

questions than. on monday c.n.n. dispy girl and several other outlets premiered their latest hit tales about how a dozen russian f.s.b. agents tailed lavani for years and so incompetent were they that the script writers claimed they managed to identify them their phone numbers there every step their calls that tax their addresses they even uncovered a prior deadly plot to poison the valley with one of the most toxic substances known to man move a chalk hero see forgot about it he remembered just a few days ago jus to a clumsy mistake by russian intelligence his wife took the hit she apparently felt terrible dreadful like never before so she went for a nap. apparently cured her alexina valmy believes that the mysterious sickness his wife describes is very similar to the feeling of impending death that he

experienced on board the airplane on 20th august after being poisoned with no for chuck aside from the comically incompetent russian spies and agents who somehow for many years fooled the world into thinking that they weren't clowns and aside from the valleys amazing resistance to being killed i mean this guy would put bugs bunny or the road runner to shame aside from that what really stood out in this claim that the laughably useless russians have a nano substance which removes all traces of chemical weapons which they somehow forgot to use each city of the problems of chemical and climbed to 2018 invention of numbness or been set for a moving traces of chemical weapons from infected sites crucially at least one member of the f.s.b. squat is in frequent contact with a scientist from this institute now my big question in all of this is about all looking reading and sounding like fanfiction or cia agents they dream about how he

would expose. as the russians of be applauded by his peers my big question is about you know whether any of it's true because there are 2 explanations in the 1st one is that these journalists were given the entire pitch the day the by western intelligence agencies because they sure as heck didn't find it in the dark and that as live on the alluded you don't find the jew location data of f.b.i. agents cell phones on the darknet which is pretty horrendous it would mean western intelligence agencies and journalists are in cahoots the 2nd explanation is that this i open exposé is about as worthless as the last one hospital tests show that the russian opposition alexina vonnie was poisoned by enough agent from the. so a few days ago british pundits claim that russian spies tried to poison the volley again while he was in a coma i mean how hard would it be he's right there literally in

a coma if you wanted to kill him you really really couldn't miss and this latest grad investigation claims that the last grad investigation was well made up note also that there is no data about any effort to be poisonous resided in ohms quinn the vote that was there in the hospital for the rumor that f.s.b. ages could possibly have poisoned him again and holmes which was distributed by the times to the money told r.t. he's going underground about the response to his killing from her family and the country as a whole you can watch in full from wednesday you see how people come to the street and they are crying and they are sad and they are angry and they want revenge and they are waiting for an answer because they know what general salim money did for them and they undine also well

why trump order to kill my father. so so obstinate after killing my father america's sought that everything will be stopped because they killed general somani departure of the middle east but they are so wrong they didn't see the anger of the art in the eyes of iranian people they didn't see their tears they didn't see their sadness and i have to say the generosity money has a military from people that they will take revenge from chump and they are so wrong they are sinking this wall will be end the end of generosity money this is the beginning and there is a $1000.00 people like general saw the money are ready to fight like him stronger more powerful and this is our power and if they are thinking

for the they must or no our people are united and they will stand in front of such a dangerous powers. now lockdowns and social distancing have become synonymous with the pandemic but many parents and i worried about a lack of social interaction is actually affecting their children's mental health my daughter has seen more giraffes at the zoo then she's seen other kids ages 23 and 4 really important for learning how to share learning how to play outside what isn't he getting by not being able to run around the neighborhood with his friends but a cambridge university study did find the thing statistically significant increase in depression did exist among children after a long time us psychology expert told us the effects of the restrictions often depend on the age of the child. i think it's very important for young children to

play with peers when they play with peers that's how they learn how to share it's how they learn how to navigate the social environment for the children who are in the floor 56 or they'll definitely remember this time once we tell them it it safe to be with people again then i suspect they will work hard to overcome it because we gravitate toward this like a magnetic pull to people so i think we'll be irate some of the older children. who are maybe in middle school and high school for then this is truly such a difficult period because they're with peers all the time some will probably go through exacerbated mental issues that we're going to want to deal with and so we have to be equipped at the end to help these children learn to feel safe with other children of their age of other world news now by that tore through

a care home in central russia was killed 11 people all the victims were elderly residents of the facility a criminal investigation has been long. elsewhere indian farmers have stepped up their protests against the rules designed to open up the country's agricultural markets because health hunger strikes and blocked roads and phase that the removal of subsidies a minimum price cameron sins with them financially and in berlin massive queues that formed in front of shops 2 days before new code restrictions kick in this week all non-essential shops and services will be closed until the middle of january the latest knocked down be described as the toughest ever seen in germany. so average ups like that i think and i think so far today you're not international good to have you company will have the headlines and more stories about that.

a drug called oxycontin and they started a mere and falsely promoted that opioids were rarely addict maybe only one percent of the could you get addicted to no. that was not true. and it is not true and never was true that was a false statement and the other companies jumped on the bandwagon of making money and the false lies spread and the false marketing spread that they are guilty of while about these tricks they cause this. i believe with every fiber of my being. back in 1906 the 1st promotional campaign for it was broadcast and we found it. we doctors were wrong in thinking that opioids can't be used long term they can be

and they should be we used to think they'd stop working all the patients would become addicts or they'd be sedated and. these 6 cases show how wrong those fears were. in this little film the public was assured with certification that content would show no risk of addiction despite its high concentration in opium to make it believable a real doctor and real patients' bill witness. confirmed that this treatment usually reserved for patients in the terminal phase of cancer can be used without any danger for common pain. i can enjoy every day. i really enjoy it must say since i've been on this new pain medication i have not missed one day of work this medication does not turn you into a zombie it is. turned me into an active person again. whereas addiction is the

1st known risk of an opioid the figures shown by pretty farmer a purely and simply unreliable some patients may be afraid of taking opioids because they're perceived as too strong or addictive. but that is far from actual fact less than one percent of patients taking opioids actually become addicted. since 1988 doctors have observed patients developing addiction yet in this internal memo the laboratory keeps on encouraging us representatives to solve the cost of miracle pill using bonuses premiums and all sorts of gadgets in only 5 years.
