i have to act when we're silent on this issue. the other side wins by default, lady that lived over there. i was walking one of the jobs, which is why you where again we stay on nothing. they take it off it. i think the people need to take responsibility in their own hands and be prepared if those kind of weapons who are less available. we wouldn't have a lot of the shootings that we certainly wouldn't have. the number of deaths ah ah, clashes and violence in europe has government to toughen restrictions to combat the new ramp on cobra barrett, omicron frances, on the wall par with amazon over the firms cheap book deliveries at undercut local stores for the government. even though adopting a new bill to try to force the company,

charge its customers more and also coming up tonight, despite the lack of any police investigation thus far, top american actor chris, north, known to millions of sex in the cities. mister big gets dropped by his agents and loses lucrative deals of the sex assault allegations against ah, all hello from out international moscow. welcome to monday's world news at 9 with me, kevin post europe, securing a new wave of anti lockdown unrest. those governments move to tighten restrictions in a race to try to beat the foss. spreading new cobra varied on the kron tensions have been. particularly. i and belcher where clashes erupted 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 as a, a 3 month window for health care work is 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 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 looked at the other sequel to what 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 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, 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 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 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 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 oma cron 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, payroll over there will meantime, if you are vaccinated,

recovered or test negative a co would you perhaps wanted a digital pass that allows you to get out and about for christmas of a suit, you may not actually to physically show a queue code on your phone because a swedish companies invented a coven pass that implanted under the skin and the full vitality micro chip. we talked to the people behind it. are there a versus? i was acknowledge that can be used for many different things. and right now it's very convenient to have a passport for waste accessible on your implant. so in case your phone runs out about 3, it's always accessible to ah, the implant is readable. busy by and the smartphone that has an a c 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 then that pops up the cobra. passport that i have on my chip. so you don't need a special ed for this kind of similar to a q r code just up. of course i don't want the cure code on my skin, right? i it's john amazon's loggerheads with fronts of the company's cheap book deliveries at the moment. independent bookstores and publishers say the big under cut and they could go to business because of it. according to french politicians and the solution is to make amazon charge their customers more shallow. bend ski reports amazon, watch out. france is coming off to you. well, at least after 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 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 a boon to those who live in rural communities. today, 90 percent of french municipalities did 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, 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 she 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 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, some 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 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 it is hiring people for its warehouses, its 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, i to chris north is finding his career has been killed off as swiftly as the popular sitcom character portrayed after sexual assault delegations of emerged his articles to williams as mister, big in the series section, the city. but his role came to an abrupt end on episode, one of the recent re boot the actors know, been dropped by his agent swell, fellow stars distancing themselves. and that is despite his strong denials and thus far, the absence of any police investigation. nath is also lost,

a $12000000.00 deal to sell is to killer brand in the wake of the allegations exercise equipment company pelettano also dropped its viral ad featuring the actor shortly after the sex and the city reboot premier than to women anonymously accused north of sexual assault in 242015. then a 3rd woman came forward with a similar claim. or chris snuff admits meeting the women, but insist that no line was ever crossed. he said, jonas and commentator chadwick more talk to a bit more 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 factor, we don't know there hasn't been me criminal investigation yet. there hasn't been any 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 that can make someone, especially if chris not had actually sexually assaulted someone. there been plenty of times in which it's been proven that a woman off the excuse demand for vindictive reasons. it really discredits and does 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. developing story tonight to women of being held in paris at the store there by an assailant. under the knife report, say the suspects known to have had mental health issues and is demanding an audience for the french minister of justice. please have set up a security code and run about 2 hours ago this latest picture through that you can see the presence wanting people to stay away from the area. well, the operation gets under way and continues to say the situation remains tense. they're watching out international law and i will these at 9 for most get with me

kevin know in coming up a major us network agrees to pay compensation to a teenager, threatening them with a multi $1000000.00 lawsuit for portraying him as racist. will tell you. but the rest of this evening news after this break ah ah ah

. her driven by dreamer shapes bankers are those with dares sinks. we dare to ask oh, again, usa main street meter of stuff again another hugely embarrassing, an incredibly expensive blow after referred major network settled to 275000000

dollar court case. and b c reached a settlement with a kentucky teenager after making it look like he'd committed a hate crime in a face off with a native american man. as cool, shoot. nicholas sandman then also sued the washington post for $250000000000.00 and say, and n for $275000000.00, a set capture with caleb mouth and across the se in new york city. caleb, as i said before, a huge payday that yeah, sure. we have a situation where n b c has reached a settlement with nicholas sandman, and at this point, they are the 3rd major network to reach a settlement. nicholas sandman sued cnn for $275000000.00. he sued the washington post for 250000000, and they have both settled. now you'll recall the situation. nicholas sandman was a high school student back in january of 20. 19. he and his fellow classmates at covington, roman catholic high school. they were in washington. d. c for an annual march for

life, anti abortion demonstration. and at that demonstration, there was a confrontation, a standoff between himself and a native american activist named nathan phillips. now, images of that went viral and went all over social media and us media, mainstream media, social media, et cetera, were quick to jump on the incident and say that because nicholas adam was wearing a make america great again hat that he and his classmates were racist and had to add race history taunted this native american. 2 this is some of how the media reacted at the time. disturbing viral video has marked outraged ord covington catholic high school students in locking a native american man. some of them harassing and jeering at a native american elder, disturbing viral video, show them all the teams and make america great again. caressing a native american out there. troubling incident at the foot of the lincoln memorial

. now, nicholas sandman was only 16 years old at the time. and now video has surfaced, showing that that's not what happened. if you look at the details of the incident and it was much more complicated and the native american walked up to him, he did not approach the native american and the scene of what took place was just wildly inaccurate. the way you as media portrayed the train of advances, if this group of high school boys had just randomly walked up to a native american to taunt him, it wasn't true. i mean, here's what actually happened. 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 philip. 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 at this point, nicholas sandman still has ongoing law suits against cbs abc news or the new york times and rolling stone magazine. so we'll see how much of a settlement is reached in those cases. but many are looking on and saying perhaps this shows that before destroying the reputation and plastering the face of someone is not even 18 years old. all over the media, it would be good to get the fax right 1st day. kind of open things for a, bring this up to up to speed there on that one. the next, the court hearings on the 17 plane crash have resumed in the hague. the malaysia raylon's flight was on route at the time from amsterdam to call. and when it was

shot down over separatist control, east in ukraine, in july 2014 or 298 on board were killed. we're going to have next looks at the exclusions on the other geishas in the said 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 innocent lives were lost in the horrendous tragedy that shook the world. ah . 2 include mm 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. why 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. the idea was not to find out how this happened and all that. but the seem to be concentrated on trying to pin it 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, 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 the sign of alt office for these are mainly tapped conversations from the ukranian service engine for now, mainly on other any other sources. nice issue, no, that happy 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. lazansky them. i found a total of 9 manipulations. there was

a lot of editing here. this is the national reichen and they are just put in different i can see there is a difference of the noise. and i also can see they are basically some kind of merging of an audio. this is and it is, yes is adequately or 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 the bat, 8 anonymous witnesses and a slew of van verifiable pictures from social media. the prosecution declared case closed from the lucia fated 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 you crate wasn't at fault for allowing civilian jets to fly over an area that was a little air crossed graveyard lifted 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, 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 didn't to media campaign his truck in an unprecedented scale put chain 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 than 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 the satellite images, which are allegedly available and depict the launch of a book missile. the american authorities replied refusing to show any materials. 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 being 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 an aid to that he's what the mh 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 are senior correspondent, final for tonight rushes announced had set to kicker to german diplomats in a retaliatory move. days after berlin court claimed moscow ordered the killing of a former chechen commander. the development comes off to pearl and expelled. 2 russians serve to the court jail demand for killing the former commander on german territory in 2019 moscow immediately slammed what he called a political ruling amid general anti russian sentiment. russia denying any connection, declared the persona non grata as a symmetrical response and not thirty's will these at 9 from moscow with me, kevin now and thanks checking in to stay with us to if you can for our next programs and your partner will from us. after the break. ah,

join me every thursday on the alex salmon show. when i was reading the guess of the world politics sport, business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm. oh. when i was sure seemed wrong. i just don't know. i mean you world? yes, to say proud disdain, because the attitude and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. 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 re,

cert cooper. there was a good bye to another, shooting another safe part of american life. shattered by violence. the gunman was armed with an hour 15, semi automatic rifle. when the issue comes home, it's time to act when we're aspire on this issue, the other side wins by default, lady that lived over there. i was walking one of the dogs, which is why do you wear again? were you scared with nothing. could take it off it, i think the people need to take responsibility into their own hands 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 with that's certainly an insidious last. so it's not old lady and.
