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 at the protest in belgium said they're really not happy with some of these measures that have been put in place in new ones. christina, 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. our goal is to say, we don't want to, society looks ital. jessica, what we're here because our freedom is under threat and we want to restore it after
5:03 am
it has been lost for 2 years. the point was i can't go by all 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 demonstrators. 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 some jail time if they don't come through with that . we've also seen new measures put in place in the netherlands, and then you locked down in place in the netherlands that came into force from sunday. what that means is, all balls and cafes will be closed. schools and colleges also, although most of those are already short for christmas,
5:04 am
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 health minister call lots of us 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
5:05 am
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 nasty, there at tons. the the thing is that oma cron cases are increasing exponentially. the world health organization is warning that every 3 days we could see the number of oma chrome very and cases doubling. what we are seeing though is between the virus itself and the measures that countries are 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. lithia vaccinated recovered or test negative for co video or perhaps on a digital pass to allow you to get out and about for christmas. oh, forget showing
5:06 am
a card or a q r code on your phone because the swedish company has invented a cobit pass, which is implanted under the skin in the form of a microchip as small as a grain of rice. we talk to the mentors 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 covered passport, always accessible on your implant. so in tissue or foam rung south battery, it's always accessible to the implant, so it's readable by and the smartphone that us and up see function. so i can go to restaurants or a movie theater. i just show them my arm and swipe me with a smartphone and then that pops up the covert passport that i have on my chip. so
5:07 am
you don't need a special app for this kind of similar to a q r code. just of course i don't want the cure code on my skin with. busy e commerce giant amazon is now at loggerheads with france. so with the company's cheap book deliveries, which independent bookstores and publish and say is putting them at risk despite amazon's resistance. french legislators are now backing a law that will make tech thumbs charged their customers more shallow. davinsky reports from paris, amazon watch out. france is coming off to you. well, at least off to 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
5:08 am
a bargain to readers. it isn'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 it 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 as a lot hundreds of publishers and writers to exist. amazon had robbie, it's hard against the law and says it's free deliveries were
5:09 am
a boon to those who live in rural communities. today, 90 percent of french municipalities to not have a bookstore on their territory. and more than 40 percent of amazon's book shipments are destined for postal code without a bookstore. the cost of such a measure and 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? where 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 an anomaly on international sales because we can feel it locally in france. so if we can remedy this unfair competition so much the better,
5:10 am
because i think it's important in society to help local businesses and especially booksellers and buy 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 kenneth, necessarily give us. i think it's a good idea to help them when 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 competing against them
5:11 am
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 challenge. even ski r t, paris american actor chris north is finding his careers being killed off as swiftly as the popular sitcom character he portrayed after sexual assault allegations emerged, north is known to millions of sex, and the fan says mister big, the role that came to an abrupt end on episode one of the recent re boot the act has now been dropped by his agents and fellow started distancing themselves despite his strong denials and the absence of a police investigation at the moment. north is also lost. a $12000000.00 deal to sell his to kayla brands and the wake of the allegations exercise equipment company pelettano also dropped its viral advert featuring the actor shortly after the sex
5:12 am
and the city reaper premier to women anonymously accused north of sexual assault in 2004 in 2015. then a 3rd woman came forward with a similar claim. kristin also admits meeting the women, but insists that no line was ever crossed. journalist and commentator chadwick mole, talk to us about how easy it is to, to ruin someone's life before there's been any due process. the 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 the criminal investigation yet, hasn't been me a trial. obviously, we're not the evidences but then also kind of alls in line with a lot of what we're seeing with this sort of leading me to movements 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 the cris not had actually sexually assaulted someone. there been plenty of times in
5:13 am
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 violet 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 that held for over 14 years without child in america. guantanamo bay prison man. so a day face says he was subjected to torture. and sexual abuse, he says, historian, today's going underground on arte dave, he says that he worked as a goat herder and security guard in yemen. but went to afghanistan as a teenager. he claims he was then kidnapped by afghan warlords 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 on our
5:14 am
t. don't come a like, or, you know, and i think will 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 that one of the is getting like, yes, anybody got even kind of just a 40 with one of the forget to she was some of her pre the blood and with the face, they thought the 2nd, the detainees land, some of them get our smith, i'm came in with them. they have a sex in the room sometime that was to make it open to live. understand like, would you like to have in many, many stories and like, you know, some of the problem they don't want to come out if they could still get to a stroke, it might have been there, or i have been kind of low guards. those gone to the right and one time full pay and grades and thinking that they are, you know that what they was also told them,
5:15 am
this is the frontline you are here and this is a war zone here. and that he, that the guards towards it is on here. and any action my, me, what they can be as like an extra a month. and if we're going to her cycle protests they did like you are announcing, you had the same mistake. you're trying to bring down from our country down like even those instigators. i'm kind of most and got him because he like they have the same. they're going to know is a simple for sure who just as long as miss of your power and they're going to detention, you know, what, they don't know. like it's different kind of get you to many places around the world without take them off. go on the way hundreds of scientists, including nobel prize winners columbia,
5:16 am
5:17 am
to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race. his on offense, very dramatic development the only personally and getting to resist. i'll see how that strategy will be successfully very critical time. time to sit down and talk ah, all over again. the court hearings on the m $817.00 plane crash have resumed in the hague. the malaysia airlines flight was on roof from amsterdam to kuala lumpur when it was shot down over a separatist controlled east in ukraine. in july 2014, all 298 people on board were killed rack as df looks next at the exclusions and
5:18 am
allegations in the good sense. 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.
5:19 am
on the very beginning, we see too much politics in the idea was not to find out how this happened when all that. but the seemed to be concentrated on claim 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 ranked the 9th 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 success to the k g b, the security service of ukraine. my question is,
5:20 am
what is the source of the tap to reports? doesn't of all office for these are mainly tapped conversations from the ukrainian service ensure for non mainly on other any other sources. naser sure, no, that have conversations from ukraine, but it's simply 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. that some of them i found a total of 9 manipulations. there was a lot of editing here. this is left channel right kennedy, i just took that and different i can see there is a difference of the noise. and i also can see they are basically some kind of
5:21 am
merging of an audio. this is entity. yes. is and is that we're? 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, 8 anonymous witnesses and a slew of and verifiable pictures from social media. the prosecution declared case closed from the lucia faded archie. we have established that the russian federation was complicit in the downing of m h 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 as is full of holes. even dutch and peas were left flabbergasted when they read a report that ukraine wasn't at fault for allowing civilian jets to fly over an
5:22 am
area that was a literal air crossed graveyard. but also to do so. so the minister, 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 12th 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 come flying in the direction to meet a campaign, his truck, and an unprecedented scale put chain russian citizens as president guilty. this is
5:23 am
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 that 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 the other, 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.
5:24 am
the investigative judge filed a 2nd request, stressing the importance of the requested data that the american authorities again refused to share the data. it is difficult to imagine that the us, especially in these times of enmity, but concealed damaging evidence that would implicate russia in these, 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. he's what the i made. 17 trial has been so far a case built in speculation. anonymous witnesses, ukrainian intelligence agency testimony, and of course prove from lithuanian forensic labs around 700 scientists, including 21 nobel prize laureates of signed an open letter to president biden,
5:25 am
calling for changes to u. s. military strategy. they believe washington should declare that it will 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. under the current strategy, the u. s. pledge is not to use atomic weapons against non nuclear states, but it gives washington the rights of the 1st strike against nuclear states in extreme circumstances. these include after non nuclear attacks on either america or its allies, including their infrastructure relations between major nuclear powers, remain tense. security concerns have grown since the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty fell apart. one of the key packs between the u. s. and russia. it banned the possession of production of shores and intermediate range crews and ballistic missiles. but in 2019 the u. s. withdrew from the treaty. we spoke to one
5:26 am
of the scientists appealing to president biden about their concerns. i hope the spirit of what we rogue 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 much century since we are oh sure. and i think member is of the press. most people who make policy at the present time haven't 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 is it should russian cosmonaut and 2 japanese faced tourists to return to earth. after spending nearly 2 weeks of all the international space station is the landing sites in cassock. so the crew which included the 1st
5:27 am
tourists on the i assess in 12 years, was in orbit for 12 days. they took part in scientific experiments on blood circulation, which will continue now that they've landed, it goes down our 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 all bits. 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 in while a bit of a welcoming operation,
5:28 am
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. and that's it for me. thanks for checking in with our safe here news this our andrew farmer will be here in about 30 minutes or so with the next update from arte in moscow. ah, with
5:29 am
5:30 am
i mentioned retents here we're going underground 20 years to the day. the un authorized the international security assistance force in afghanistan to prevent a supposed safe haven for terrorism. less than a month later, the u. s. and u. k. were rendering, suspected terrorists, us prison, camp guantanamo after this month's decision by british courts to exonerate the u. s . justice system, when it comes to wiki likes, his julian sons. this program investigates the alleged torture of months were a dorothy by the usa, the author of don't forget us here. lost and found at guantanamo was swept up by us, linked warlords and the cia in afghanistan. 18 year old man swore became detainee for $41.00 and was held at guantanamo for 14 years without charge you a discretions advised you, so may be disturbed by us treatment of prisoners discussed in this interview. ventura. daffy joins me now from bell grained in severe man, so welcome to going under ground. i suppose we better stop given the, i know from my lawyers that people.
