the headlines in r.t. to congratulate joe biden on victory in the u.s. presidential election and expresses russia's willingness to work together it's after the u.s. electoral college declared him the. activists say that new crowd control tactics by french police smash and grab are a mass violation of human rights and press freedoms also took on the landfall but he's yet to explain why he believes the corona virus will change our lives forever . and the turkish president his out of washington for sanctions imposed over ankara's

purchase of a russian missile defense system. we expect supports not sanctions from our nato ally the united states of america. so good evening you're watching r.t. international just gone 5 o'clock am in moscow. and 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 while the russian president had waited for that official confirmation of the win says that any contacts with the new administration is welcome and that cooperation is in everybody's interest well donald trump doesn't says though that the is legal challenge over alleged voter fraud will continue meanwhile the trumpet ministrations attorney general has

resigned earlier found no evidence of widespread election fraud reports now from new york. 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 46th 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 u.s. society. and that will legal and media and this line also says that the u.s.

electoral college system hardly stands up to best practice i want to be to 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 you are and it's not that you are voting in the old days nobody trusted the citizen to understand the complexity of the of this the founding fathers didn't want necessarily senators to vote but they thought that 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 ended the lovy and it's archaic it's antiquarian it's ass a 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. inadmissible a piece that's how human rights the media groups have branded police behavior recent protests against the new security bill in the french capital more than $140.00 people in 2 journalists were arrested including 3 controversial law enforcement tactics dubbed smash and grab with more his shot of to pinsky. so today's protest against the draw floors on security and in trying republicans 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 for 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 sexual 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 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 go. 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 theory problems with some warning that the list of being admissible abuses is

growing by the day so much auti paris however the officers themselves are also furious at how they are being treated police in the french capital stage their own protest of what they see as a lack of protection from the government over public abuse and harassment. i 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 will soon packs of families wives children and parents it affects a lot of people and we need the support without that we won't move forward. now there is little doubt that cope with 19 has had an impact on all our lives in one way or another and in an article for r.t. dot com the renowned philosophers like boise jack does say that it will be no return to normal once the pandemic is over but we asked the civilian academic to expand on why and he says it's because the crisis has opened up opportunities to

control people like never before. i have. this straight if we can save our lives. we were just afraid. i suspect it's now a strain to 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. or something although i am far measures low down and. many use decent book establish. their own. lebanon into what i call a post human state of being totally. me

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

most of them. and you. only knew. that. in other news tonight washington has imposed sanctions on turkey over its purchase of russia's s 400 missile defense system and sparked an angry reaction thing from president. 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 in bargo its target officials from turkey's top defense procurement and development body assets will be frozen and these is restricted russia's foreign minister there says the move breaks international law but he's not surprised. but look at your solution or 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 where it is a responsible participant in the international division of labor including military and technical cooperation. but i incur the s $400.00 defense system last year and washington had threatened to punish to this since claiming that the system is a danger tonight. based political analyst yusuf islam says and does have plenty of

ways to retaliate if he wants to. it's a huge no because we see the americans saying that they want to give diplomacy a chance but throughout this whole s 400 process being acted very asymmetrically very 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 turkey could see producing parts for the f. $35.00 there's american presence injured airdate american presence that should it you can read our station but i don't think turkey 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's hoping that they could be lifted or going forward you watch not international demand that we take a place in the latest western plains of and i just spoke by russian security

services to target the opposition to get alexina valmy that some of the stories to come to stop.

financial survival guide i don't buy a i pod on if you. think the flight. as of last summer buying from the future cracker was kaiser. but i would get an investigation which claims it can name and shame russian agents mainstream media outlets have published extensive and sensationalistic details of security operatives hot on the heels of the opposition figure alexina valmy since

2017 but as our senior correspondent were against the effort he explains there are more questions than answers. 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 live on the 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 and 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 of the problems of chemical and climbed the 20 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. squad is in frequent contact with a scientist from this institute now my big question in all of this is about the

rule looking reading and sounding like fanfiction or cia agents daydream about how he would expose. 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 is not valid the alluded you don't find the geolocation data of f.b.i. agents cell phones on the dark net which is pretty horrendous it would mean western intelligence agencies and journalists are in cahoots the 2nd explanation is that this i open an exposé is about as worthless as the last one hospital tests show that the russian opposition leader alexina found he was poisoned by nerve agent from the north so a few days ago british pundits claim that russian spies tried to poison the valley

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 lost grad investigation was well made up note also that there is no data about any effort to be poisonous reside in an ohm square novel 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 is not true this is what you call open ended. that author of the top iranian general assassinated by the us early this year has spoken exclusively to r.t. in her 1st media interview in absentia mani 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 the interview 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 are in they know all so well why trump order to kill my father so so obstinate after killing my father american sought that everything will be stopped because they killed general soleimani defiler off the middle east but they are so wrong they didn't see the anger of the od 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 of money has a military from people that they will take revenge from chomped and they are so

wrong they are thinking this war will be end the end of general silly money this is the beginning. and there is a 1000 people like general salim mani are ready to fight like him stronger more powerful and this is our power and if they are thinking for that they must know our people are united and they will stand in front of such a dangerous powers. but times in social distancing have become synonymous with the pandemic of many parents and i worried about how a lack of social interaction is actually affecting 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 she getting by not being able to run around the neighborhood with his friends. or

the cambridge university study did find a statistically significant increase in depression among children after a long time u.s. psychology expert told us the effects of the restrictions often depends 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 at this time once we tell them it is 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 our 8 some of the older children. who are maybe in middle school and high school for them 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 quipped at the end to help these children learn to feel safe with other children of their age could look at some other news now in a fire that tore through a care home in central russia has killed 11 people all the victims were elderly residents of the facility a criminal investigation has been known. and in farmers have stepped up their protests against new goals designed to open up the country's agricultural markets for his her hunger strikes and blocked roads on phase that removal of subsidies a minimum price guarantees would hurt them financially and in berlin massive queues of the front of shops 2 days before new code restrictions kick in this week all mana central shops and services will be closed until the middle of january latest lockdown has been described as the toughest ever seen in germany. so that brings up
