t international revery you're catching the show from today hello and welcome i'm going to new. donald trump supporters have forced their way past barriers into the capitol hill compound in washington d.c. where the u.s. congress is confirming joe biden's victory in november presidential election. and pushing over here as you can see here the demonstrators broke through face security perimeter splitting off from a save america rally and from just on the street really clashes with police erupted the activists believe that the presidential hopefuls rig something donald trump claimed. when addressing the crowd just a little earlier. we will never give up we will never concede it doesn't happen does anybody believe that joe had 80000000 votes is it a bit of that he had 80000000 computer votes to take 3rd world countries

there are elections is that what we've been going through in this country democrats attempted the most brazen and outrageous election said that it has never been anything like this so pure that in american history week republicans and that's what they are this so many we. unfortunately they gave the press. the prime seats i can't stand the. bad people the corrupt. so i fight this fight i fight this fight both of you believe me you believe that somebody comes out of nowhere is hunter the prosecutor and you oprah used to be a friend of mine once i ran for president i did notice that too many calls coming in from oprah that probably if i was the media i do it the same way to say. without republican do appear to be continuing to lose political influence as

a dulling to the wire race for 2 senate seats in georgia seems to be tilting in favor of the 10. that's if both those seats are secured the democratic party will take majority control over the whole of congress for the next 2 years will for more on this story let's go live to kill him up and in the new york kill a this is a real room from november's senate race in georgia which was just too close to call the rewards could hardly be bigger could they control of something said to be as important as winning the white house the u.s. congress. indeed well all eyes are on georgia right now where it appears the democrats are in the lead now votes are still being counted but at this point raphael warnock the democrat has declared victory and won over the republican now at this point we're still waiting for the final results in the race between republican david perdue and democrat john asaf however john aasif

the democrat feels very secure and has declared victory this is the georgia senate candidate for the democratic party declaring himself to be the winner it is with humility that i have banked the people of georgia for electing me to serve you in the united states senate whether you are for me or against me i'll be for you now at this point this seems to be a sign that the democrats are pulling ahead toward a pretty secure control over power in washington d.c. now many are blaming donald trump for this saying that donald trump has created a polarization in the country that is working into the favor of the democrats here's some of the analysis being put forward. well he may inspire people on the road but he really pisses off people democrats really inspires them to come out and vote and when you can have a credible villain that really helps the democrats turn out their vote now donald trump's obsession with voter fraud and saying that he believes he is the legitimate

winner of the 2020 presidential election is seen as somewhat polarizing and many mainstream republicans have tried to distance themselves from donald trump now if indeed the 2 georgia seats go to the democrats in the u.s. senate that will lead to a situation where the democratic party will control 'd the senate the house of representatives and the white house that will be a pretty secure hold on power in washington d.c. for the democrats republicans will not be able to push through their proposals and they won't be really able to block proposals and agendas of the democrats this will be a situation where the democrats have a pretty strong upper hand they have not been in this secure of a position since 2009 now at this point 70 percent of republicans say that they favor donald trump and that they would wish that other republicans could be more like donald trump but it seems that the country is pretty effectively polarized and

the democrats seem pretty effectively unified against donald trump and his administration over the last 4 years so at this point things are looking very good for the democratic party donald trump is on the brink of leaving office but his supporters are quite angry and it appears his movement will not be going away it could indeed be a long couple of years for the republican party killed thanks very much caleb maupin from new york city. editor know the very top stories today wiki leaks co founder julian assange has been denied the london courts it follows a decision to block his extradition to the united states over concerns that he posed the suicide risk our t.v. show be at risk dusty can pick up the story for us. so the united kingdom earlier today has to noise judy in the sunshine they all of course that comes just 2 days after they will not actually got your innocence to the united states has been 'd

lonely lonely legal battle for june assault because the united states of wanted him for his alleged role in what they call one of the largest compromises of classified information the history of the united states they wanted him to face trial for spying and publishing these classified documents relating to the war and after iraq and afghanistan and plus one of conspiracy to hack government computers to publish these files as well now if he was found guilty it could have led to a maximum sentence of 175 years behind bars so could you design to the sense of being spared that fate for now at least that is certainly not that the face of going back into the u.k. is most notorious prison of belmarsh prison because he has not been granted bail in all of this now judith on just the revenue that he said that they will be appealing this latest decision they say it's a great disappointment not to release him on bail they say it's unjust and unfair also we've heard from craig murry one of his key supporters a former u.k. ambassador has called it incredibly vindictive i think this is indicative i mean

the prosecution in the. opposing fail to make a deal to play a fight with snowden on the part that gets through to. justice. they've made it very you play for them the damage to american national security the drug industry and the educated go. look this is plainly the security state looking to show its profits approve the street this is this is indicative it's not based on anything that's bullshit is on his defense team found this a very bitter pill to swallow especially considering that monumental decision just 2 days ago not to educate you in a song to the united states for them every. it was case closed in that sense because the put them particularly he now was already served his sentence was getting back in 2012 but he's still in belmarsh prison but what is his crime they argue in terms of being in the court itself they search and they really try to

justify acuteness on just actions so that he would not be upstanding from any bell conditions however tight they could have been he would have abided by them purely for them on the basis of his new family ties right here in the united kingdom we know he has 2 very young children with his partner stella morris she earlier before even the court proceedings 2 days ago she said that it was something to celebrate that money was a decision few days ago that she would only celebrate when you walk through the door back into that family hard so for them it's a pretty pretty disappointing floats a day and rebecca vincent from reporters without borders says she too is very disappointed as many other journalists are this very judge on monday outlined mr sanchez serious health risks and mental health risks these are issues that will be exacerbated by a period of prolonged detention so he sees are grounds but his actual dition which we agree that they are there also grounds for his immediate release from prison she stated that he had incentive to have stunned and that is the something else that he

would be unlikely to present himself for justice she also stated that his mental health is being managed in the marsh and that the prison has to close in 1000 situation under control but that does not seem to be the case we've had alarming reports of the situation in the prison that have been nearly continuously hisself for several weeks now. and the evidence we've heard in september about his state of mental health peace are all issues that are made worse by detention so of course he should be released also the matter of principle is still here for us we called for some time for his unconditional release so not just because of these 2 monetary concerns as a matter of principle he has been to you only who are publishing information in the public interest nobody should have to face that he has a missing. 5 years now and nothing. in this could have made this right going forward and they failed to do so today in terms of journalism worldwide and you have to remember that the church 2 days ago did not bear out the case based on journalistic grounds or political grounds but on his medical health and medical

health alone in fact he accepted every single argument that the us throughout the course saying that judas on this case was not politically motivated that he would face a fair trial in the united states on the u.s. is constitutional law and she said that his actions were not in public interest so many people would argue that this confirms the narrative of criminalizing investigative journalism was the impact is huge. in every journalism around the world. because now there's a precedent. in the british judicial system. a judge has endorsed. has basically supported. their political arguments paul persecuting julian assange so is it is this is a very thorough political case if they're going to try to apply impugn this is a political case there 5 julian assange is in prison without serving

a sentence shows that he is a political prisoner so we might save julian and then he might not spend the rest of his life in prison but the risk. for journalists around the world is they're still there because. if somebody else in the future dares to do what julian did what wiki leaks did to publish the same feelings or similar things they will be persecuted and they can be criminalized for life so today has been a very dramatic day indeed and for the last 2 days have been very dramatic for us the on mondays decision without that it not. given the song and then today not to grant him bail it is incredibly best to streets and we see activists and supporters not just hits a day or 2 days ago but long throughout due to the scientists or they have been

here day in day out but has but then you know so it is a valiant campaigner for truth and justice he has not committed a crime but all he has done is populist and showing the world the truth in their opinion of the united states and their criminal activities in iraq and afghanistan in fact today they were so determined and eager and enthusiastic to be here for this court case that so many people have even been arrested by police for being outside the westminster magistrate's court i myself witnessed around 5 people being arrested including a 92 year old man and it really just goes to show the levels of determination because they feel it's not just here in the service and go. through the criminal justice system and trying to avoid the criminal justice system in the united states but also sits in the box is the fundamental principles of freedoms of press the right for expressing itself the right to report but also the right to the public's access to information and journalism of course this is a 10 year battle and is having

a chilling effect on journalism not just here in the u.k. nor the united states but worldwide. just about to our child he was saying the u.s. has been unrelenting in its attempts to get julian assange into american courtroom and so on surprisingly washington was less than pleased with monday's decision not to extradite him while we are extremely disappointed in the court's ultimate decision we are gratified that the united states prevailed on every points of law raised in particular the culture jets and all of mr saunders arguments regarding political motivation political offense fair trial and freedom of speech we will continue to seek mr extradition to the united states. well let's now in fact take a quick look back at some of wiki leaks key revelations that have london the sun on the u.s. authorities wanted list. i

. i i. heard. does he say any. of those who are little. wiki leaks walks like a hostile intelligence sort of like a hostile takeover sort of. well among the latest reaction we've been getting it to developments this week was

from the general secretary of the european federation of journalist ricardo gutierrez who believes mr a son should be offered the same protection as any investigative reporter. we simply cannot understand the decision from from the british british court. we believe that if there is no reason no good reason to extradite him then there is no reason to keep him in detention you believe that this decision is a political one julian assange age in our view should be considered as a political prisoner we are still very concerned by. the mentation of the british call didn't didn't take into consideration all the good reasons you know to release. julian assange. as a journalist you know or just as an actor or a media actor he committed

a journalistic act you know by revealing. war crimes. by u.s. government in. iraq and afghanistan so all you know one of you who acted as a journalist and eastwards protection as a journalist. live from moscow this is r.t. international still ahead germany extends its locked out and further into 2021 tougher. than before the details.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race is on spearing dramatic they're probably the only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

20 minutes past 10 pm here in moscow welcome back we start with germany which is tough and it's the crew it's an extended it's locked on the country surpassed big figure 35000 covert related deaths are europe correspondent peter all over has been looking at how it berman is trying to slow the pace of the disease. following a meeting between uncle merkel the german chancellor and the leaders of germany's 16 states locked down in the country will be extended until the 31st of january what that means is that all bars and restaurants schools gyms mound non-essential retail will be closed there are some new measures being put in place as well you'll now only be able to meet with one or the person from outside of

a household other than your own bond in areas where infections are above $200.00 per 100000 of the population there will be a limit on where you can travel it has to be within a 15 kilometer radius of your home in announcing these measures angular merkel said that they would necessary. we are now very close to full capacity in some hospitals which is also one of the reasons for us to introduce these far reaching madness today epidemiologists had hoped that she would go further and extend this lockdown beyond the end of january no such look there for them there's also well some pushback already from some of those who agreed to this deal on tuesday we've heard from leaders in the state of lower saxony saying they've got no intention of limiting the movement of citizens in their state vote and book of said that they're

reviewing the situation and whether they would be keen to do the same in their state and also we've heard from the state of mecklenburg west in pomerania he said they want to get this cools open now it's not just the state leaders that have been unhappy with lockdowns we have seen demonstrations here in germany against the measures that have been put in place just last weekend in nuremberg the riot police had to be called. well german chancellor angela merkel also defended the vaccination program in germany which had come in for criticism for moving at a pretty much delayed cele pace she said that the right things were being done to

ensure that germans got the vaccinations that they needed earlier we heard from un spahn the german health minister said. all people in germany who wanted a vaccination should be able to receive one by the summer of this year well the new measures that were brought in on tuesday they're going to be reviewed again on the 25th of january well be decided if they need to be extended through into february. let's move to new bring fronts from there where a court has ruled the police colonel record detailed personal information relating to activists and protesters in the name of state security trade unions though say about noting down political and religious beliefs on social media activity will erode basic freedoms with more in the short of 2 been skin porous. france's highest administrative court has found itself in the midst of

a toxic debate the council of state has approved plans by the government to broaden the information that can be collected about individuals for intelligence files this includes political or religious convictions and if someone is a member of a union these decrees also authorize the recording of a person's social networks or even health data revealing a particular danger leading to an infringement of the right to demonstrate to stigmatize ation the freedom of opinion union action the fact of being a member of the union which suggests that being a member of a trade union could be associated in one way or another with the imperatives of internal security state security the fight against terrorism so what are these intelligence files and what exactly are they used for the decrees relate to 3 files these used to be limited to being about hooligans or violent demonstrators now they

are being expanded to the list of data of people suspected of terrorist activities all those likely to undermine the integrity of france and its institutions files like this can help security services to keep an eye on individuals who are seen to pose a threat to sunny's lomis terrorist attacks were formed in 202033 since 2017 but some argue that concept behind these decrees is very at best. in fact the authorities can collect data on a lifestyle a vague definition from the outset creates the threat of arbitrariness each of us can become a subject of data collection if our behavior is considered a likely threat to public safety. the green light for these decrees also comes at a particularly sensitive time here in france at the end of 2020 there were mass

demonstrations against 2 controversial draft laws norge by the government. meanwhile some police unions have denounced the global security not going far enough they say officers faced a threat just for doing their jobs and being targeted just for this week and you officers were beaten up in the paris suburbs attacked by gehring during a routine traffic stop but critics say these new these decrees show an all thora tarion drift in france this argument is waved like

a red rag but it is not the subject terrorism is one of the goals but the main thing is the fight against hooligans sects the underground economy and protests violent terrorism is used to carry out political surveillance it is our trade union activity our reason for being which is targeted these decrees maintain the confusion between an activist a member even an employee who signs a petition and has a legal person the c g t can be called into question it is a risk for social democracy it's not the 1st time france has tried this in 2008 it launched the database which provoked outrage as it aimed to collect data around similar themes political and religious affiliation it was eventually dropped but given this a recent push by the french government to move towards tighter security may. just despite the mass demonstrations and the approval that's come from the council of state many are concerned that france's crossed

a red line and they may nought retrieve that challenge even ski ati paris. well if you'd like to have your say on verts or indeed any of this or a stories why not to the lib 8 on our facebook page and leave a comment or 2 always lively there of an evening you know neal. 2021 are going to see and it's thing phenomenon and point 21 you know america has been exporting its inflation at china for 20 years and now china's caught up to america and now all that money printing that's been going on for 2025 years is going to show up. real inflation. and the war in syria has lasted longer than world war 2. who
