a knife is know to have mental health issues. so you can see police are seeing, trying to negotiate a peaceful outcome with the suspects. not spectacular pictures of the, but we can see quite a turn out. so keep across if something happens, we'll let you know. europe, since you are going to wave of anti locked down on rest, as governments move to tighten restrictions in a race to beat the foss, spreading new cove and varied on the chrome tensions a particularly high in belgium. right now we're clashes are up to a huge rally on sunday. ah, on sunday, thousands of people came out to protest against belgium government cove at measures

in brussels. they're 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 would have newman's christine. 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. look that article today. we're here because our freedom is under threat and we want to restore it after it has been lost for 2 years. the voice was on it go up a hole in my fight for the freedom of a 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 sunny day. 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 phone rest 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 bonding old tourists travel from the united kingdom into the country while over the channel into the u. k. and swell there was the micron variance of covert 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 nasty. there at tons

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 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. well, if you're vaccinated, recover door test negative for co vigil, perhaps want a digital pass then that allows you to get out and about for christmas. however soon you may not need to show your q r code on your phone because the swedish companies invented a coven pass, which is implanted on the skin, in the form of a tiny micro chip. that raises some questions, isn't it? we talked to the people behind it

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 or waste accessible on your implant. so in case you phone wrong, subtle battery, it's always accessible to the implant soon is readable. busy by and the smartphone, that house and up see function. so i can go to a restaurant or a movie theater. i just show them my arm and swipe me with a smartphone and them that pops up the cupboard passport that i have on my chip. so 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

internet john. amazon's at loggerheads referrals to the mode of the company's cheap book deliveries, independent bookstore and publishers say they're big on the cut and they could go to business because of it. according to french politicians, the solution that is to make amazon charge their customers more, shall it depends. he's got the latest on it. 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 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 on 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 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 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 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

play 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 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. it is a fight of unequal forces. legislators must protect the week from the powerful they are the gulliver's, and we are the lilliputian next to them. it shall be done through a law that has binding power. in this case, a law on shipping face, they are growing day by day, like all the big tech corporate. this is exponential growth. how can we resist these almighty giants, monopolies become omnipotent, more powerful than states? this is alarming. we have become hostages. i hope the legislators will include a new anti monopoly law in their agenda to question these monopolistic structures which absorb everything like a black hole in particular, small shops. it is a real wall. what amazon argues is that, that is hiring people for its warehouses. it's platforms and is maintaining purchasing power by lowering the price bar. it looks like a strong argument, but that's actually not the case. after all, has small store need 3 employees,

whereas a big chain like amazon needs only one and 2 out of 3 individuals do not get a job. this causes unemployment, poverty, and social inequality. american actor chris ne, funding his career's been killed off as swiftly as the popular zip code character portrayed after sexual assault allegations of emerged. he's known to millions as mister, big in the series, sex in the city. but his role came to an abrupt end on episode one of the recent reboot. the act has now been dropped by his agent, while fellow stars are distancing themselves too. and thus, despite his strong denials and so far, the absence of any police investigation offers all so lost a $12000000.00 deal to sell as tequila. brand in the wake of the allegations exercise equipment company pellet and also dropped its viral advert. featuring the actor shortly. after the sexton, the city reboot premier than to women anonymously accused north of sexual assault in 2004 and 15. then a 3rd woman came forward to the similar claim. well,

chris noth admits meeting the women, but insist that no lie must have crossed. journalists in common had chadwick more talk to a bit more about how easy it is these days to ruin someone's life before this 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 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 all the excuse the man 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 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 it. your chance in the world news at 8 o'clock from oscar with me, kevin, coming up the major us network agrees to pay compensation to a teenager, threatening them with a multi 1000000 dollar. lo, super trying him as a racist tell me more on the rest of the news after the break. ah, driven daydreaming shaped by those in

me. i think we dare to ask in ah ah ah ah ah oh,

i get you as ministry media than suffered yet another a hugely embarrassing, an incredibly expensive blow after a 3rd major networks has settled a 200 and $75000000.00 court case. and b c reached a settlement with a kentucky teenager after making it look like he committed a hate crime in the face. so for the native american man, well, highschool student nicholas sammons also sued the washington post for $250000000.00 in san n. for 275000000 calum opens across this latest want to new york city tonight. help huge payday them potentially sure this is just one media company after another. now, nicholas sandman has been suing media companies that misrepresented his interaction that took place in january of 2019. now he's reached a settlement at this point with nbc. after previously reaching his adamant with cnn and with the washington post. both of those companies,

which he sued for over $200000000.00. now this all stems from an incident january of 2019 nicholas sandman, a student at covington, catholic high school, was attending the national march for life, an anti abortion demonstration that happens every year. and at that demonstration, there was a confrontation between him and a native american activist. the 2 kind of stood next to each other and the video went viral, playing into the media's narrative about how trump supporters are racist. the image of him wearing his make america great again, hat with a native american beating a drum in front of him, went viral. let's recall disturbing viral video has more outraged or covington catholic high school students locking a native american man. some of them harassing and jeering at a native american elder disturbing viral video shows them all the teams that make america great. again, hash harassing a native american out there,

troubling incident at the foot of the lincoln memorial. now, nicholas sandlin was only 16 years old. a minor at the time this incident took place and his image was plastered across u. s. media. he was accused of disrespecting an elder or taunting a native american. he was accused of being racist. there are many, many extreme allegations were hurled against him. his face was all across social media as well as mainstream u. s. media. but then of longer video surface that showed that he and his friends had not initiated the confrontation that the native american elder had actually walked up to him. let's recall students from kentucky's all boy covington catholic high school, were instructed to meet on the stairs of the lincoln memorial to await their bus home. a few yards away were 5 black men who identified as hebrew israelites after nearly an hour of enduring the verbal attack. the boys asked a chaperone if they could perform one of their pep rally chance to drown out the

hate group. the chant attracted the attention of a group of native americans, led by veteran activist nathan phyllis. they began to celebrate my chanting and dancing to the beat. mister phillips began moving to his ripe down a line of boys eventually stopping face to face with nick sandman. the young man remained where he had already been standing, placing his undivided attention on mister phillips. now nicholas sandman currently has ongoing law suits against a b, c news. the new york times rolling stone and other media outlets. so it's a situation where he's taken these media companies to court. and at this point, the question should be asked, isn't it worth looking into the actual facts of the case before destroying the reputation of someone who's not even 18 years old? which is a genetic basic hope. all right, thanks for that for now. we're kelly in new york city. the next tonight, federal says some. the british diplomats offers embassy in london was attacked on

sunday, leaving a member of stuff badly heard a statement from his foreign ministry saying he was treated for various injuries, including a broken nose. karen brings his up to date with an incident involving a country. this these days, falling itself more, more in the limelight. valerie has claimed that a group of people which it described as extreme as caused damage to the embassy building and then attacked a group of diplomats. one of those diplomats is said to have been seriously injured, sustaining a broken nose, a broken tooth, and a like concussion. a number of those group of people have been detained and an investigation has been called for. also, we know that a british diplomat in men's cause been summoned by the russian foreign ministry over this, the under the vienna convention is considered to be the whole country's responsibility to maintain the security of foreign embassies on its territory. so this is something which, bela bruce might not let go of very quickly. that also comes as by the rules have been under the spot like a lot this year and even more so in the past week, softer

a polish soldier defect. it's about a race where he seeks political asylum. this man gave an interview to bella russian tv channel, last week, in which he made some shilling claims about the going ons along the polish board, us not being through his earlier claims. the polish soldiers had shot and killed 2 volunteers. he also claims that he, along with a group of drunken soldiers, took him on into the forest and shot him dead in cold blood. he also, in another disturbing admission described when he claims he shot migrants himself for the 1st time, what's going, it's my, it was at the end of may, it's impossible to describe the faces of these people will be remembered forever. first, the 1st one and then the others, the faces of those who are told to kill, then you no longer look at the face. you just aim of the chest. they took, the 1st group showed them kill them than the 2nd group. and they will also killed, i did that to fired. so these horrific allegations have been strongly disputed by

poland, who had thought to discredit this man by detailing his check could pass. it would be revealed by the polish military police that he was recently can directed for violence against a family member. early this month, he was detained from driving while intoxicated. a soldier who went missing had serious problems of the law and resigned from the army. he should never have been assigned to the border surface. i've asked for an explanation as to who was responsible for this. now the deputy interior minister has responded to the claims made by the soldier according done nothing but propaganda. this man now faces a criminal investigation for a desertion and could face anything between one and 10 years in prison. with a case has been big news in the polish press, who have painted him as a drug addict and alcoholic. as a man with mental health issues, which begs the question why a man with such

a reputation would have been allowed to join the board for so even be allowed in the on forces in the 1st place. which is silly question been off by somebody else because all of the military commanders have been fired in the wake of the scandal. now, just to remind you, the polish for the stand off has been going on since early this year. at peak during the summer migrants, many of them families with young children remain stranded in sub 0 temperatures. now the e u has the keys, the beller russian president says using the migraines as a weapon. while poland has band aid workers and journalists from the board design, somebody's slides so many were kronos canceled. his christmas visit to french troops in molly because of the deteriorating coven 19 situation. back home. trip was planned for tense time in relations with france, plumbing to almost half the number of its troops in molly's north to 3000 by 2023. just last week. local forces took over the running of the city, a timbo to from the french,

who have been in the style region for 8 years. it was the 2nd base in the how this written area to be handed over this year after french soldiers left northern could dial in mid october. to report in paris explains why france didn't succeed in his efforts quite the way it intended than it hasn't been a good week for president and michael diploma. t creech in west africa and particularly here in marie on the part of the malin. well it's, it's interesting to see that are in the malins treat as well as in the administration when you talk to civil server. and sir ministers are which we have done all we care. ah, then there's a little bit of resentment towards the french. oh, this is perfectly understandable on the maryan point of view. why? because at 1st you have to remember france intervene in malley, in 2013 through a code name, operation, survival, and back then the whole country was threatened by jihad is collin,

coming from the north. the force are present here, the operation morphed into bar can in a much wider spectrum going all the way from mery tanya through chad. and you had 15000 troops. uh, you know, to overlook, ah, a territory. the size of 1500000 kilometers. so that's a lot and that's one of the reason of, of one of the reason of the failure of pacification in sale. and even a is in around me. sure. the head of by can recognize that the, for the force has not be able to perform as it should have in the terms of pacify the old country. after 8 years of presence of france. and since the situation has not turned into a, you know, a better out coming 4000000 people and it, they tend to blame it on the occupying forts. we, they see now as an occupying force, meaning the french gerald whole historian, ortho gave us his thoughts on the grievances above france,

his presence in the south. well, certainly the french presence in africa is a vestige of colonialism. of france was like a vampire draining blood from the body of africa. so in some ways, france is responsible for not only the disaster and libya, but for the disaster. and molly, as well, a going back a decade, when in lot league with us imperialism and the north atlantic treaty organization, nato, a bombing campaign was launched in neighboring libya. as a result, what happened is that tons of weapons leaked from libya into molly. these weapons then were grab by these religious zealots and then went on the warpath in molly and that helped to instigate in ignite the french

intervention in molly france in the north atlantic countries. sea africa, as it's private, preserved france would like to tell the international community that it is welcome in africa. but when you have these significant protests against the french military presence that seeks to erode and undermine at that particular oh, notion, final one for this bulletin. russia's an answer said he had to german diplomats in a retaliatory move. days after a berlin court plaint moscow ordered the killing of a former chechen commander. the development comes off to berlin, expelled to russians after the court, sir jailed a man for killing the former commander on jim and tara train. 2019 moscow immediately slammed thought called a political, rolling and made general anti russian sentiment. russia denied any connection, declared the president on greater as

a symmetrical response. and i saw to yes, will these at 8 for moscow with me, kevin, are in thanks, checking in a do stay with us. say if you can, for our next programs for you and your part of the world after the break. ah, now it shows the wrong one. 03. just don't hold any world yet to shape out. disdain becomes the african and engagement. it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground oil and gas manufacturing, electricity, telecomm guys potations. all of them now have io

t type of infrastructure connected to the internet. so clearly realizing there's disruptive potential for 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 ah hello and welcome to cross stock where all things considered i'm peter labelle, the by ministration says it believes in diplomacy. well now it has

a chance to prove this. russia is presented to wide rating.
