realizing this disruptive potential so that those countries can't ignore it because it threatens national security issue. but if we take the nato e u countries, virtually all of them subscribe to certain doctrines and maintains selling but task forces. they are a cyber army on behalf of a country that's their job. ah . classes of violence in europe, those governments toughened restrictions to combat the ramp and omicron copays stray and risking people's christmas plans for a 2nd year. from to the war path, with amazon over the firms cheap book deliveries that undercut local stalls, even adopting a law to force the company to charge more and without charge or police investigation . american actor chris. no,

no civilian says section the cities mister big gets dropped by his agent and lucy's lucrative deal. soft sex assault allegations emerge. ah hello. just turn mid day on monday here in moscow. i'm calling brian this is your world use for marcy. international. first to europe said during a fresh wave of anti locked down on rest. as governments move to tighten movements in a race to beat the foss spreading omicron cope. it varies from ruining everyone's christmas plants. tension, sir, running particularly high in belgium, where clashes erupted a 1000 strong rally on sunday. ah,

on sunday, thousands of people came out to protest against belgium government cove at measures in brussels at their particularly unhappy with the push that's being put forward by the belgian government to encourage people to come forward for vaccinations. what they've said is that there's a, a 3 month window for health care workers to get jobs between january and march of next year. otherwise, they faced losing their jobs. people up, the protest in belgium said they're really not happy with some of these measures that have been put in place. you'd have new ones, christy, but we were checked the society in which we live today. the one we're offered. it's not necessarily a question of vaccination or not. the polarized debates was our goal is to say, we don't want to, society looks at dodger sequence. we're here because our freedom is under threat and we want to restore it after it has been lost for 2 years. the police was, i can't go up a whole and i fight for the freedom of the future generation. i'm ready to take to

the street and lose everything to let them have their freedom, which is a fundamental right, wasn't, or this is fall from an issue just in belgium, all across europe. over the weekend just gone. we sold protests in austria. they turned particularly violent clashes between police and demonstrate as in austria, austria. of course, one of the 1st countries to insist that there would be mandatory vaccination from 2020 to those who don't get a vaccine from february next year. well, they face fines and potentially so in that jail time, if they don't come through with that, we also see new measures put in place in the netherlands and did you locked down in place in the netherlands that came into force from sunday. what that means is old balls and cafes will be closed. schools and colleges also, although most of those are already short for christmas, holidays restaurants are going to be limited towards providing take our meals. it

caused a lot of unrest in a number of cities, including the hague, where we saw thousands of people out on the streets. thousands of people also demonstrating in germany as well in the cities of humber, dusseldorf, berlin, over cities as well. people coming out to say that their own happy not only with the measures that are in place, but with what they expect to come into force in the near future. on sunday we heard the german, the health minister call lots of are saying that he wants to see mandatory vaccination in place in germany. sooner rather than later. over the weekend, germany also joined france in finding old tourists travel from the united kingdom into the country. while over the channel into the u. k. swell, there was the omicron variance of colbert 19 is pretty much out of control there. we saw the mayor of london city con, declare a major incident in the british capital. we also saw

a large demonstration on saturday in which people were incredibly unhappy with what has gone on in terms of the actions from the british government, things turning quite enough to their time. the the thing is that oma chrome cases are increasing exponentially. the world health organization is warning that every 3 days we could see the number of oma chrome very cases doubling. what we are seeing though is between the virus itself and the measures that countries that having to take to try and stop the spread of the virus . it's going to mean it's not a very merry christmas for many people across europe. if you're vaccinated, recovered, don't test negative, covered perhaps you're on a digital pass that allows you to get out and about for christmas, or forget showing a card or a q r code on your phone. a swedish companies invented a cobit pass, which is implanted under the skin in the form of

a microchip as small as a grain of rice. we talked to the inventors about their very different type of wearable tech incense or a very versatile technology that can be used for many different things. and right now it's very convenient to have a cobra passport, always accessible on your implants. so in case you are from wrong thought about 3, it's always accessibility. ah, the implanter is readable by and the smartphone that has an f c function. so i can go to restaurants or a movie theater. i just show them my arm and swipe me with the smartphone and then that pops up the corporate passport that i have on my chip. so you don't need a special up for this kind of similar to a q r code. just of course i don't want the cure code on my skin. right.

e commerce giant amazon is now at loggerheads with france. so with the companies cheap book deliveries which independent bookstores and publishers say is putting them at risk despite thomason's resistance. french legislators now backing a new law which will make tech ferns charged customers more. a shot davinsky report from paris. hours all watch out france is coming after you. well, at least after your cheap delivery costs for books in a fresh swipe, but the internet giant, french lawmakers, the amazon must charge more for book deliveries. one operator is currently offering almost free delivery of books regardless of the quantity and the amount of the purchase. while no other player is able to provide such a bargain to readers, it doesn't therefore clear that these commercial practices

a new form of price competition, which no longer allows the law, the single price of books to produce its full effect. until now, amazon has been charging the legal minimum for delivery of books of a single sent, and that has left many french publishers and stores like this simply unable to compete. and that is problematic for a country where independent bookshops are big business. there are more than 3300 stores here, significantly more than in many other countries in the european union. this new law is being welcomed by booksellers, who say, will help protect publishers. to independent bookstores don't sell the same things as other sales points. they have more 1st time novelists, more challenging publications that has a lot, hundreds of publishers and writers to exist. amazon had lobbied hard against the law and says it's free deliveries were a boon to those who live in rural communities. today, 90 percent of french municipalities did not have

a bookstore in their territory. and more than 40 percent of amazon's book shipments are destined for postal codes without a bookstore. the cost of such a measure, the purchasing power would amount to more than $250000000.00 euros per year. the reality is that this will see many people who not only use amazon, but other online retailers to pay out more. so are people ready to dig deeper into their pockets to support these independent stores? or should i be, i am ready to pay me or because i prefer to go to a bookstore to see several books and make a choice. i find it better. i prefer to go and bind the bookstores directly. so here i think it's reassuring for the book industry outside of amazon, amazon, amazon shouldn't have a monopoly on international sales because we can feel it locally in france. so if we can remedy this unfair competition so much the better business, because i think it's important in society to help local businesses and especially

booksellers sample by books directly from the bookseller rather than amazon. but of course, it's also important to keep an eye on good value for money hashed. i am ready to pay more. our booksellers offer us a service that is not bad, and advised that amazon cannot necessarily give us. i think it's a good idea to help them. well, if i find that a sales platform cannot replace booksellers with their advice, but we must admit that it's extremely practical either when we're far from the points of sale or when i'm looking for a very specific product. and i know that on this platform, i will find it. nevertheless, we must maintain a balance of all sales channels and indeed, one must not be able to kill the other. and especially booksellers, this is not the 1st time that france has had amazon in the firing line. the country has been gunning for the online giant is pay a minimum global digital tax. while european union regulators have also accused the site of using data from independent merchants to unfairly compete against them with

its own products. amazon has also seen itself face spines for abusing dominant market positions in italy. recently to all of this is making europe a much more hostile environment for the company. and it seems that this is only the beginning. charlotte, even ski r t, paris american actor chris north is finding his careers being killed off as swiftly as the popular cit called character he portrayed after sexual assault allegations emerged north is known to millions of sex, and the city fans, as mister big aerobic, came to an abrupt end on episode one of the recent re boot, he denies the accusations and no police investigations been launched, but the act is already been dropped by his agent. and fellow stars are also distancing themselves and not also lost a $12000000.00 deal to sell his tequila brand in the wake of the allegations exercise equipment company pelettano also dropped its viral advert featuring the actor shortly after the sex and the city re boot premiered to women anonymously

accused north of sexual assault in 242015. then a 3rd woman came forward with a similar claim of chris noth, admits meeting the women, but insists that no line was ever crossed. journalist and commentator chadwick more talk to us about how easy it is now to ruin someone's life before there's been any due process. a crime doesn't have to be committed in order for you to have your reputation ruined in hollywood. now with this actor, we don't know there hasn't been me criminal investigation yet. it hasn't been me a trial. obviously we're not the evidence is, but that also kind of falls in line with a lot of what we're seeing with this sort of lead me to movement where you have basically allegations that come after powerful men decades later years and years later. you know, that's never a good thing, especially when you're looking for evidence to convict someone. especially if chris not had actually sexually assaulted someone. there been plenty of times in which it's been proven that a woman falsely accused the man for been victim reasons. it really discredits and

does a grave injustice people who are actually victims of sexual assaults. we need to realize that there are actual sexual criminals out there in violent sexual vendors . you should be arrested. and the more that you sort of muddy the system, the worse it is for everyone and more of those people to get away with health for over 14 years without charge in america's guantanamo bay detention center man. so a day fee says he was subjected to torture and sexual abuse. he has his story in today's going, underground r t. a dave, he says that he worked as a goat header and security guard in yemen. and then went to afghanistan, most of the teenager, he times, he was then kidnapped by africa, wolds and handed over to the cia for a sizable cash bounty. he was then held in guantanamo suspected of being a recruiter for al qaeda, which is long denied. he tells us more in today's going underground, which you can watch here today, or on line any time at all t dot com a hour, you know,

and i think would bother you. i think we're here to and think will will bother you and they will do, you know, you know, giving us like it isn't one of the easiest things like yes, anybody got even kind of just 40 with one of the to get to she was some of her pre a to blood and with a female. when for them they have sex in the room sometime that was to make an open list. understand like, would you like to go to heaven many, many stories and like, you know, some of the probably don't want to go about it still get to legal issues might have been there or i have been one of those. are those gone to the right and one to ok? i'm good. i'm thinking they are, you know, there are, they was also kill them. this is the front line you are in. this is

a war zone here. and imagine that the gods towards it is on here. and any action by cheney what they can be as like an actual tourism a. so i'm going to know if we're going to her cycle throat as they did like you are a nose and you had the same mistake you're trying to bring out to our country down like even those instigators and kind of most and got him because he likely have the same they're going to know is a simple for sure who just this lawlessness of your power in the detention. you know what, i don't know like it's different kind of get you to many places around the world without the for moscow on the way. hundreds of scientists including nobel prize winners call on the us to change its nuclear weapons strategy and rob the 1st

strike option. we have what's got them so concern among all stories after the break . ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, i know, ah, with join

me every 1st bit on the alex simon sure. well i'll be speaking together from the world politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm . ah ah, or hello again, the court hearings on the made 70 plane crash have just resumed in the hague. the malaysia airlines flight was all route from amsterdam to call a lump of what i was shot down over separatist controlled eastern ukraine in july 2014. all 298 people on board were killed. where i guess d f looks next at the exclusions and allegations leveled in the years since it has been one of the most politicized and scandalous trials in modern history. there was

no other way. it could have turned out almost $300.00 innocent lives were lost in the horrendous tragedy that shook the world. ah, and that 7 years since there has been no closure, every one knew it would be ugly from the get go full of politics and venom when malaysia, which own the plane. and last dozens, and dozens of citizens on that flight was excluded from the entire investigation.

under the very beginning, we see too much politics in the idea was run to find out how this happened when all that. but it seemed to be concentrated on trying to pin it on russia. already there have decided that he must be asha. we cannot accept that kind of far attitude. the netherlands form the joint investigative team to investigate what happened nominally, that excluded russia. the anti government forces in east ukraine, malaysia, of course, but it included ukraine, which itself was a suspect then rank the 9 most corrupt country in the world by ernst and young. why is that relevant? well, guess who provided most of the evidence to the prosecution? ukraine successor to the k g b, the sick ritchie service of ukraine. my question is,

what is the source of the tap to reports? doesn't of all doctors for these are mainly tapped conversations from the ukranian service engine for now, mainly on other any other sources. nice, a sure no, that have conversations from ukraine to put it simply to part of what ukrainian intelligence agencies provided were alleged telephone recordings of rebel fighters where they apparently talked about downing the jet from the get go. the recordings were suspected of being manipulated and raped out of context and edited an opinion that was supported by many forensic experts zones to them. i found a total of 9 manipulations. there was a lot of editing here. this is left channel right there. just to clinton different i can see there is a difference of the noise and i also can see they are missing some kind of merging of an on you. this is and it, yes is. and he's got lear. yes. the netherlands forensic institute itself

reportedly refused to attribute the audio recordings to one of the defendants and the m. h. 17 trial. citing a lack of data to the prosecution eventually contracted an obscure lab and lithuania to verify the recordings which they of course did. together with a bat 8th anonymous witnesses and a slew of and verifiable pictures from social media. the prosecution declared case closed from the russia faded archie would have established that the russian federation was complicit in the downing of m age 17 because they made available the weapon that was used to shoot down the plane. we have all the material to substantiate that material that the defense says is full of holes. even dutch and peas were left flabbergasted when they wrote a report that ukraine wasn't at fault for allowing civilian jets to fly over an area that was a literal err crossed graveyard. but also didn't show soonest of. i find its

results disappointing. what is particularly disappointing and that there was no proper investigation of the evidence which clearly indicated that some ukrainian authorities has processed the information and realised that there was a threat of the plane crash. they very clearly knew that there was a threat. you don't need to be a forensic scientist to know that 3 days before the downing of them age 17, a ukrainian military plane was shot down in the same area. at was reportedly the twelth, ukrainian military aircraft last there in 3 months. and it was shot down at 6200 meters, well out of man pad defense system range and close at the airline a territory. dina can find in the direction to meet a campaign, his truck, and an unprecedented scale put chang, russian citizens as presumed guilty. this is completely unacceptable. it was

launched to compensate for lack of evidence in russia, provided a slew of evidence and findings to the joint investigative team information about the missile. and now it couldn't have been the book miss all variant in service with russia and formation about the launch site and how it is unlikely that the miss hall was fired from where the joint investigative team says it was almost everything was dismissed while the prosecution wanted was a critical piece of evidence, satellite shots of the area believed to be in possession of the united states, and which the u. s. still refuses to show to anyone. and also the title of the investigative judge made a legal assistance request to the us with respect to satellite images, which are allegedly available and depict the launch of a book missile. the american authorities replied refusing to share any material. the investigative judge filed a 2nd request,

stressing the importance of the requested data. the american authorities again refused to show the data. it is difficult to imagine that the us, especially in these times of enmity but concealed damning evidence that would implicate russia at ease. if we speculate easy to imagine that the u. s. would conceal damning evidence that would exonerate russia and implicate ukraine, which washington gives billions and guns an aid to that is what they are made. 17 trial has been so far a case built in speculation. anonymous. witnesses, ukrainian intelligence agency testimony, and of course proof from lithuanian forensic labs. around 700 scientists, including 21 nobel prize laureates have signed an open letter to president biden, calling for changes to

u. s. military strategy. they believe washington should declare that it would never use its nuclear weapons. first. we urge you to declare that the united states will not use nuclear weapons 1st, under any circumstances, by making clear that the united states will never start a nuclear war. it reduces the likelihood that a conflict or crisis will escalate to nuclear war or under the current strategy. the u. s. pledge is not to use atomic weapons against non nuclear states, but it gives washington the right of the 1st strike against nuclear states in extreme circumstances. these can include non nuclear attack, so neither america or its allies, including their infrastructure. while as relations between major nuclear powers remain tense, security concerns have grown since the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty fell apart. one of the key packed between the u. s. and russia. it banned the predict possession and production of short and intermediate range crews and ballistic missiles. but in 2019 the u. s. withdrew from that treaty,

we spoke to one of the scientists appealing to president biden about their concerns . i hope the spirit of what we wrote is understood and that is that we need as world powers to have an awareness of the danger of nuclear weapons. you know, it's approaching almost century since we are osha and i think memories of the press. most people who make policy present time, very little memory of what that was our ability to make something much, much worse than her ocean. it's a para and i think the fear of that is it's great. it's, it should be russian cosmonaut into japanese space. tourists have returned to earth after spending nearly 2 weeks to build the international space station and his landing site and catholics down. the crew which included the 1st tourists on

the i s s in 12 years, was in all of it for 12 days. they took part in scientific experiments on blood circulation, which they will continue. now. they've landed, he goes down, reports from star city near moscow. well, indeed, we are in mission control. this is russia's houston, so to speak. and the crew of 3 have successfully landed in the steps of cassock, stand for the captain. this mission has become his 3rd successful trip into orbits . but there were 2 new comers, a japanese billionaire and his assistant. there were tourists and they have spent just short of 2 weeks into all, but they did not just stay idle there. they were tourists, of course, but they did take part in certain scientific experiments. for example, we do know that the billionaire he picked while back on earth about a 100 of activities which he tried in orbit. well, now that they have returned about 200 people are taking part and while a bit of a welcoming operation, they are searching for them and will be helping them to get used to again to the

conditions here on earth. there's also a surprise for the japanese crew, for example, they will be met with a traditional japanese dish or with japanese noodles, a bit of a surprise again. but the key thing is they're back and they're healthy. okay, that is your news for now. we got plenty moriarty dot com and on our youtube channel as well. i'll be back here with you again in a 32 minutes. ah bill. well, it shows the wrong one. i just don't know any world. yes. to say proud disdain becomes the advocate. an engagement, it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart,

we choose to look so common ground. driven by drilling shapes bank thinkers, are those with theirs sinks? we dare to ask ah

ah yes, certainly an insidious fatigue. last saw there's not a lady. medium spill. yeah. they took him to yes. last i to with some certain that the medium, what not senior senior, the stuff, the dude bruster. i'm going to change. yes. you will notice as well as the procedures we get that the me for read yet the set so good now employed to come could get enough. you're look at you better out of me to stay at nashville mix with dust governor when you my with a somewhat low but on. so i see in this book suggesting you more good neil chief the widget that much better.
