it's true that there is no it's because you know it's the records at least. in abandoned on the streets to become invisible clubs. getting tough on the world's tech titans the e.u. on val's a major overhaul of digital market rules which could see massive fines for online giants who abuse their dominance. of uprooting congratulates joe biden on victory in the u.s. presidential election and expresses russia's willingness to work together as after the us electoral college declared him the winner. activists a new crowd control tactics by french police dubbed a smash and grab are a mass violation of human rights and the press freedoms. and the turkish president hits out of washington for sanctions imposed over and korea's

purchase of a russian missile defense system. or initiative we expect supports not sanctions from the united states of america. a very warm welcome to you your watching r.t. international with me. our top story the world's big tech giants are finding out just how much stricter doing business in europe could become in the near future the e.u. is unveiling what's described as its biggest ever overhaul of digital market rules but since by many is directly trying to rein in the power therms like google facebook as an apple and microsoft r.t.s. piece all of a has more on the new regulations. the very simple reason that the european union have done this is their belief that the major tech and online players in the world

how far too much power in the market in the european union that's why margaret vestigal the european commission vice president put forward the new digital market bill that she says hopes will regulate the likes of google facebook out pull our mizzen in microsoft how they do business in the e.u. in the same way that commodities markets are already regulated what we are going to present to you to milestones in our journey to make europe think for the digital age that is the services act and the digital markets act. the 2 proposals they serve one purpose to make sure that we as uses as customers this is have access to every wide choice of safe products and services online just as well as we do in the physical world and that all businesses operating in europe that can be

big ones that can be small the small ones that they can freely and fairly compete on 9 just to say do offline the vast majority of legislation dealing with tech was from way back in 2004 so it was well overdue a revamp it has taken a long time to get this digital market bill in place but if you think it 2004 companies that we were talking about the likes of ours and google they either didn't exist or certainly didn't exist at the level that they do today so the way that this digital marketing bill's going to target them is that the gate keepers as they're called the big players are going to be under a lot of scrutiny to make sure that they it here to the rules there's also going to be a lot of scrutiny paid to acquisitions and. merges they are all going to have to be run by brussels if that happened and do business in the e.u.

market if they aren't or if that acquisition isn't approved by brussels the night entity may well not be able to do business inside the e.u. and there will be big punishments we're talking about fines as high as 10 percent of global turnover that could be absolutely astronomical and for repeat offenders there is the potential of being booted out of the a you market altogether did some markets act applies this specifically to what we call gatekeepers and gatekeepers they are defined by a special rule that they fulfilled in the marketplace if a gatekeeper breaks the rules we can impose fines if it's done 7 times repeatedly we can also impose structure remedies divestiture that sort of things in response we've heard from google who are being critical of the digital market bill they say that it's target specific companies in

a way that's wrong and particularly targets them so it's understandable why they've said that we've also heard from facebook a little more accepting they said through a spokesperson at the how to be rules however they did go on to say that they hoped the new bill would target tech giant apple saying that they needed to be boundary say it or not particularly business that is a different tone struck from facebook compared to what we've heard from them back in september where they threatened seem to buy the rain back or pull out of the e.u. altogether if this bill was put forward they haven't done the math simple reason they haven't done it is the e.u. is a massive portion of global market share and it's an awful lot of money for these companies to be made here the difference is now they're going to have to play by some new rules. we heard from internet law and cybersecurity experts who say the tech giants will have to adapt as the european market is too big to abandon. the penalties are

enormous we're talking about 10 percent of global turnover in them if there is a persistent non-compliant that could be increased to 5 percent of the elite then over there you worldwide earn over. book and google will just have to accept the new reality. to the new rules it is difficult to see. pulling out all. together inconceivable the reality is that the village solution technology is ever 2 different speeds and the are not able to for all the evolution of technology sloan's keep for this reason that we are attempting to up the decision that you did in the 20 years ago you cannot force tech giants are to follow the roots of this mall find and 'd speaking we have seen in the last couple years so very small. business finds

a lot of it after giants. like the mayor putin has congratulated joe biden on victory in the us presidential election itself to members of the electoral college across the united states officially declared by the window 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's cooperation is in everybody's interest however donald trump is still insists there is a legal challenge over alleged voter fraud will continue meanwhile the trump administration's attorney general builder has resigned to the earlier found no evidence of widespread election fraud caleb moore penned reports 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 of today's electoral college voting proceeded and there was a vote and 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 the 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 u.s. society and you can have media analysts lionel says' the u.s. electoral college system hockey stand up to best practice i'm going 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 prised you want to target or try that one out idea of this is simply this your 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 he 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 edge of the low

vienna's archaic events occur in his ass a fide 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. and admissable abuse that's how human rights and media groups have branded police behavior at recent protests against the new security bill in the french capital more than $140.00 people and 2 journalists were arrested including their controversial law enforcement tactics dubbed a smash and grab as he saw in defense he reports. so today's a protest against the draw floors on security and in trying public in value so police deploy new crowd control tactics. essentially assume rash 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 under aged 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. 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 a 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 some toy there is also a red flag over judicial investigations and attempts to force journalists to reveal their contacts. with journalists lawyers people work originators were randomly arrested no one was prosecuted because they'd done nothing wrong except for sturgeon in the way of the police charges that it's up to the officers to decide when to charge this is. the french government says it respects press freedom restoration upsurge to and dangerous and the fact of this report of the police disability says is growing by the day so much. but these are new tactics and the detention of journalists is like they are being treated police in

the french capital stage their own protest at what they see as ought to be paris but the officers themselves are also feel that how. 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 will soon pics of families wives children and parents it affects a lot of people and we need the support without them we won't move forward. this is our c.n.n. national and head turkey is facing sanctions from washington over its purchase of a russian defense system we look at the reaction. after the break. the lack of protection from the government over public abuse and harassment. join me every 1st week on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to get

a feel of the world of politics or business i'm show business. for work because it can't be absorbed by this account chicanery and fraud project the counting of quantitative easing goes into something called the c.p.i. consider summer price index so that the value of that money printing will now dave base the currency for real this is going to be the end game as it were because once the ball inflation genie is out of the bottle you can't put it back into the bottle. exhibit a the smoking gun we know now without a doubt the media really interference for the baby campaign before the election the 100 by you story was not it was not russian misinformation we were lied to again we were is the accountability.

welcome back there's little doubt that covert has impacted our lives in one way or another and in an article for our tea dot com right now and follows the 1st level which is jack says there won't be a return to normal once the pandemic is over we asked the slovenian academic to expound on why and he says it's because the crisis has opened up with. every dollar pray to god to control people like that before. are. just great if we can save our lives. just afraid. to you know perspective now i think it's happening would be so much more of. the same time people prayed less they died to go all socialized and still alone it's not

just 15 dream and those now we have been already small enjoyment like let's enjoy it while it lasts who knows what will happen i did a virus. or something i am to measure us look down and. many use decent took establish. their own. little bit into what i call a close to human state of being. me on the horizon even the prospect of so why are brain. mind process use may be dealing. with definitely not exaggerating here and you. are.

did me. do you really do. get into the 1st point. yes. they're all in the being that many many 1000000. shares. and most of. you. only knew. that. washington has imposed sanctions on turkey over its purchase of russia's as $400.00 missile defense system and sparked an angry reaction from president.

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 the embargoes target officials from turkey's top defense procurement and development body his assets will be frozen out visas restricted russia's foreign minister says the move breaks international law but he's not surprised. i should move through 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. and crew aboard the s $400.00 defense system last year and washington have threatened to punish turkey ever since claiming the system is a danger to nato is double based political analyst use of aram's laser one has 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 has 400 process acted very unique symmetrically very unilaterally certainly will try to reciprocate and complicate things for the united states in need of bilateral relations and american activity in the region as well as turkey can also see buying u.s. turkey. producing parts for $35.00 american presidents if you're the.

president today if you can read our station but i don't think turkey will take any very aggressive steps right now especially with a new ministry she coming in we've already seen the turkish president call for a review of the sanctions where he's hoping that they could be lifted or east going forward. an investigation which claims they can name and shame that russian agents mainstream media outlets have published extensive and sensationalist details of security operatives a halt on that estate tales about how a dozen russian f.s.b. agents hailed live on the 4 years and so incompetent what they that the script writers claimed they managed to identify them their phone numbers that every step that cools that tax that addresses they even uncovered a private deadly plot to poison the bali with one of the most toxic substances known on the chalk here o.c. forgot about it he remembered just a few days ago g.-u.

to a clumsy mistake by russian intelligence he's wise took the hit she apparently felt terrible dreadful like never before so she went for a nap and apparently cured. alexei navalny believes that the mysterious sickness his wife describes is very similar to the feeling of impending death that he experienced on board the airplane. i mean on 20th august after being poisoned with novacek 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 isa 2 of the problems of chemical and climbed 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 and be applauded by his peers knew 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 page the day that by western intelligence agencies because they sure as heck didn't find it in the dark and that has never been the alluded and you don't find the geolocation 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 an exposé is about as worthless as the last one hospital task that the russian opposition leader alexina found he was poisoned by now if 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 grabbed investigation claims that the last grad investigation was well made up. note also that there is no data about any offense to be poisonous reside in an ohm square never all that was there in the hospital therefore the rumor that f.s.b. agents could possibly have poisoned him again and omsk which was distributed by the times is not true this is what you call open ended. thanks for joining us here on
