9:02 am
on sunday, thousands of people came out to protest against belgium government cove at measures in brussels. there 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. you'd have 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, nor was our goal is to say, we don't want to, society looks ital. jessica, we're here because our freedom is under threat and we want to restore it after it
9:03 am
has been lost for 2 years. the point was i didn't go up a whole in my 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 cautious 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 some jail time if they don't come through with that . we also see new measures put in place in the netherlands and the new lockdown in place in the netherlands that came into force from sunday. what that means is all bars and cafes will be closed. schools and colleges also, although most of those are already short for christmas,
9:04 am
holidays restaurants are going to be limited to wards and providing, take out 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 hamburg, dusseldorf, berlin, and other cities as well. people coming out to say that they're unhappy 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 car, lots of ac saying that he wants to see mandatory vaccination in place in germany. sooner rather than later. over the weekend, germany also joined france in banning all tourists travel from the united kingdom into their country. while over the channel into the u. k. and swell there was at the o. micron variant of cove at 19 is pretty much out of control there. we saw the mayor
9:05 am
of london city can declare a major incident in the british capital m. we also saw a large demonstration on saturday in which people were incredibly unhappy with what has gone on with the terms of the actions from the british government. things turning quite nasty there at times. oh the thing is though the omicron cases are increasing exponentially via the world health organization is warning that every 3 days we could see the number of omicron very in 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. he's all over with that rapport. now, if you are vaccinated, recovered or test negative for co vigil, perhaps want a digital pass that allows you to get out and
9:06 am
a back for christmas. however, soon you may not need to show the q r code on your phone as a swedish company has invented a caveat, pass which is implanted under the skin in the form of a tiny micro chip. we talked to the people behind it and saw a very versatile technology that can be used for many different things. under right now, it's very convenient to have her covered passports, always accessible on her implant. so in case you form wrong, thought about 3, it's always accessible to the implant her is readable by and the smartphone that has an up see function. so i can go to a restaurant or a movie theater. i just show them my arm and swipe me with the smartphone and them
9:07 am
that pops up the cupboard passport that i have on my chip. so you don't leave 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. right. my internet joined amazon is at loggerheads with france over the company's cheaper bought deliveries, independent bookstores and publishers through say they are being under carts and could go out of business. and according to french politicians, the solution is to make amazon charge their customers more. charlotte davinsky has the detox. 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 say amazon must charge more for book deliveries. one operator is currently offering almost free delivery of books
9:08 am
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 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,
9:09 am
it's 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 to not have a bookstore on 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 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? 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
9:10 am
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 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. 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. 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
9:11 am
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 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 that the american actor chris north is finding his career is being killed office swiftly as the populace hit com character he betrayed off to sexual assault allegations emerged. he is known, the millions is mister big in the series sex and the city. but his role came to an abrupt and on episode one of the recent re boot the actor has not been drops by his agent, while the fellow stars at distancing themselves. and now, despite his strong denials in so far,
9:12 am
the absence of any police investigation. well, north is also lost to $12000000.00 deal to sell is tequila brand in the wake of the allegations exercise equipment company politan is also dropped his fall advert featuring the act of 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. kristen off admit meeting the women but insist that no line was ever crossed to this commentator chad whitmore. talk to us about how easy it is these days to ruin someone's life before there's been any due process. crime doesn't have to be committed in order for you to have your reputation road in hollywood. now with this actor, we don't know there hasn't been the criminal investigation yet, hasn't been the trial. obviously, we're not the evidences, 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
9:13 am
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 had actually sexually assaulted someone, there been plenty of times in which it's been proven that a woman all the excuse demand for vindictive reasons. it really discredits and doesn't a grave injustice people who are actually victims of sexual assault. we need to realize that there are actual sexual criminals out there and violence, 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 that get away with it. that held for over 14 years that charge americas montana by prison man saw a de fee says he was subjected to torture. and sexual abuse and finches. in the latest episode of artes getting underground, he says he works, the goat herder and security guard, and yemen. and went to afghanistan is a teenager. and there he says he was kid, not black and warlords,
9:14 am
and handed over to the c, i for sizable cash bounty. he was then held in guantanamo suspected of being a recruiter for al qaeda, which he has long denied when he tells us more in today's going under ground, which you can see to at any time at r t dot com a like or, 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 that one of the he's getting like, yes, anybody got even kind of just the 40 with one of the forget to she was some, her pre, a, to blood a detainee face, and they thought to sit on the detainees or land, some of them get, or smith, i came in with them. they have sex in the, in the room some time that was to make it open to live. understand like, would you like to have in many, many stories and like, you know,
9:15 am
some of the problem they don't want to come out. it was still a strong issue, but it had been there for us. i had been kind of low guards and those gone to the right and one can full pay grades and thinking they are, you know, they were, they were supposed to kill them. this is the front line you are, you're in, this is a war zone here and that he got the guards towards it is on here at any action, my dad, jamie, what they can be as like an actual tourism a minimum. and if we're going to under psych approach, as they did like you are a know if you have a state you're trying to bring out to our country down like even those instigators, i'm kind of most and got him because like they have the same american going to know is a simple for sure who just as long as miss of your power and they're going to detention,
9:16 am
you know, what, they don't know. like it's different kind of get you to many places around the world to come out see hundreds of scientists including nobel prize when it's cool in the us to change a secret weapons strategy and dropped the 1st strike option. well here, what's got them? so concerned you're starting ah . join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking together from the world. politics sport. business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. hello, driven by drink shapes. bankers are those with
9:17 am
dares sinks. we dare to ask. welcome to mazur, financial survival guide. looking forward to your benefit, go yeah. this is what happens to pageant in britain delicate that you watch kaiser report? oh, come back. he caught hearings on the m h. 17 plane crash have resumed in the hague. the malaysia airlines flight was on
9:18 am
route from amsterdam to quite a lumper when it was shot down over set, protest, controlled, east in ukraine. in july of 2014 or 298 people on board were killed or gassy of looks. next, the exclusions and allegations 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,
9:19 am
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 and tar investigation. if you can call it that, on the very beginning, we see too much politics in the idea was not to find out how this happened and all that. but, and the seem to be concentrated on claim to been need on russia already there have decided that he must be russia. we cannot accept the 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,
9:20 am
of course, but it included ukraine, which itself was a suspect then rank 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 successor to the k g b, the security service of ukraine. my question is, what is the source of the tap to reports? doesn't of all office for he's a mainly tapped conversations from the ukranian service engine for now, mainly on other any other sources. nice issue, no, that haps 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 legit from the get go. the recordings were suspected of being manipulated and raped out of context and edited an opinion
9:21 am
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 next generation and they're just put in 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 audio. this is entity. yes. is edison 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. so 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 fated. archie would have established that the russian federation was complicit in the downing of m age 17 because they made available the
9:22 am
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 you crate wasn't at fault for allowing civilian jets to fly over an area that was a literal aircraft graveyard. little shifted intrusiveness 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 ukrainian military plane was shot down in the same area. at was reportedly the twelth,
9:23 am
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 any 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 mitchell and how 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 believe to be in possession of the united states,
9:24 am
and which the u. s. still refuses to show to anyone. and all that, 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 damage in evidence that would implicate russia. it is, 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 and they do. but that is what the age 17
9:25 am
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 $700.00 scientists, including $21.00 nobel prize. laurie is have signed an open letter to president biden, calling for changes c u. s. military strategy. they believed that 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. well, 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 1st strike against nuclear states in extreme circumstances. and these include after non nuclear attacks on either american or
9:26 am
its allies, including their infrastructure, was relations between major nuclear power. the remain 10 security concerns have grown since the intimate intermediate range nuclear forces treaty fell apart. that was one of the key packs between the us and russia. and it banned the possession and production of short and intermediate range crews and ballistic missiles. but in 2019 the u. s. victory from that treaty, or 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 much the century since we are oh, sure. and i think memories of the press, most people who make policy present time have very little memory of what that was.
9:27 am
our ability to make something much, much worse than her. oh, sure, it's a para. and i think the fear of that is it's great. it's, it should just commit to our past 5 here in moscow watching international monique's in half and ah, when i went to the wrong, why don't i just don't. i mean, you have to fill out this thing because the attitude and engagement will trail when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look for common ground in
9:28 am
oil and gas, manufacturing, electricity, telecom transportation, all of them now have a u. t. type of infrastructure connected to the internet. so clearly realizing this disruptive potential so that those countries can't ignore it because it threatens national security issue. but if we take them to you countries, virtually all of them subscribe to certain doctrines and maintains selling but tell us forces. they are a cyber army on behalf of a country. that's their job. who? oh, working room or should in the back. she popped in. she said, well, i'm getting ready to go shopping for christmas. and we, we snuck up there was a going to buy another, shooting another safe part of american life shattered by violence. the gunman was
9:29 am
armed with an a r 15, semi automatic rifle. when the issue comes home, it's time to act. when we're filing on this issue, the other side wins. by default, the lady that lived over there. i was walking one of the dogs, which is why do you wear again? were you scared than nothing but take it off it? i think the people need to take responsibility into their own and be prepared if those kind of weapons were less available. we wouldn't have a lot of the shootings that we certainly wouldn't have. the number of deaths or financial survival guide. stacy, let's learn about be allowed. let's say i'm a true, i can agree. i'm grief on banks of the site. wall street broad thank you for helping with. 6 that say,
9:30 am
fell out equal death slavery ah, ah hello and welcome to cross stock where all things considered i am funeral about the bite ministration says it believes in diplomacy. well, now it has a chance to prove this. russia is presented to wide ranging proposals to recast and regulate its relations with the west in general, and nato. specifically, we are living in an historic moment. ah.
