on sunday, thousands of people came out to protest against belgium. government covert measures in brussels and 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 up, the protest in belgium said they're really not happy with some of these measures that have been put in place. you'd have new ones received, but we were checked the society in which we live today. the one we are offered is, it's not necessarily a question of vaccination, not a polarized debate, is normally our goal is to say, we don't want to, society looks italian. she called on we're here because our freedom is under threat and we want to restore it after it has been lost for 2 years before it was i can't go by all and i fight for the freedom of the future generation. i'm ready to take

3:04 pm
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 call into force in the near future. on sunday we heard the german, the health minister call lots of are saying that he wants to see mandatory vaccination in place in germany. sooner rather than later. over the weekend, germany also joined france in finding old tourists travel from the united kingdom into the country. well over the channel into the u. k. swell, there was the omicron variance of colbert 19 is pretty much out of control that we saw as the mayor of london city con. declare a major incident in the british capital. we also saw
3:05 pm
a large demonstration on saturday in which people were incredibly unhappy with what has gone on in terms of the action from the british government. things turning quite enough to be there at time. the the thing is that oma chrome cases are increasing exponentially. the world health organization is warning that every 3 days we could see the number of oma chrome very in cases doubling. what we are seeing though is between the virus itself and the measures that countries that having to take to try and stop the spread of the virus. it's going to mean it's not a very merry christmas for many people across europe. your correspondent will meantime, if you vaccinated, recovered or test negative for code, you perhaps wanted digital pass then that allows you to get out and about for christmas. however, soon you may not actually need to physically show you
3:06 pm
a q code on your phone because the swedish companies invented a coven passes implanted on the skin, in theory, in the phone with a tiny micro chip. we talked to the people behind it or their immersive ignore. that can be used for many different things. and right now it's very convenient to have a passport for waste accessible on your end. so in case your phone runs out about 3, it's always accessible to ah, the implant is readable by and the smartphone that has the function. so i can go to a restaurant or a movie theater i just showed in my arm. ringback what the smartphone and then that pops up, the passport that i have from my chair. so you don't need
3:07 pm
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 into john amazon's at loggerheads from the moment over the company's cheap book deliveries independent bookstore and publishes, said the big on the cuts and could go to business. and according to french politician, the solution is to make amazon charge the customers more surely. dimansky reports on it. hours all watch out, france is coming after you. well, at least after your cheap delivery costs for books in a fresh swipe, but the internet giant, french lawmakers, the amazon must charge more for book deliveries. one operator is currently offering almost free delivery of books regardless of the quantity and the amount of the purchase, while no other player is able to provide such bargain to readers. it isn't therefore
3:08 pm
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 lobbied hard against the law and says it's free deliveries were a boon to those who live in rural communities. today,
3:09 pm
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 bookstore directly. so here i think it's reassuring to the book industry outside of amazon, the learning amazon amazon shouldn't have a monopoly on international sales, because you can feel it locally in from men. so if we can remix recent fair competition, look so much the better. okay? because i think it's important in society to help local businesses,
3:10 pm
and especially booksellers sample i books directly from the bookseller rather than amazon. but of course, it's also important to keep an eye on good value for money or should you washed. 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 folks, this is not the 1st time that prongs 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
3:11 pm
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, and it is a fight of unequal forces. legislators must protect the week from the powerful they are the gulliver's, some we are 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 giant's 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 that agenda. the question, these monopolistic structures which absorb everything like a black hole in particular small shops, it is a real wall. well, amazon argues is that it is hiring people for its warehouses, its platform,
3:12 pm
and its maintaining purchasing power by lowering the price bar. it looks like a strong argument, but that's actually not the case. after all, small, stony, 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. america to chris not finding his careers being killed off as swiftly as the pot for the sitcom character portrayed off to sex assault allegations of emerged. he's not close to millions around the world. is mr. big in the series sex in the city. but his role came to an abrupt and though an episode, one of the recent reboots, the act has no been dropped by his agent, while fellow stars distancing themselves. and thus, despite his strong denials, and so far, the absence of and the police investigation north is also lost. a $12000000.00 deal to sell off is to keeler brand brand in the wake of the allegations exercise equipment company pellet. it is also dropped his viral ad featuring the actor as
3:13 pm
well. shortly after the sexual city reboot, premiered to women anonymously accused of sexual assault back in 2004, and then in 2015. then also a 3rd woman came forward with a similar claim. well, chris northwood commits meeting the women, but insist that no line of across journalist and commentator chadwick more talk to us a bit more about how easy it is these days to ruin someone's life. before there's been any due process, a crime doesn't have to be committed in order for you to have your reputation ruined in hollywood. now with this actor, we don't know. there hasn't been me. criminal investigation yet 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 empires in which
3:14 pm
it's been proven that a woman all the extremes demand for vindictive reasons. it really discredits and doesn't a grave injustice people who are actually becomes a 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 worst it is for everyone and more of those people to get away with an update. now let's sort of been tracking for france. so the last 4 or 5 hours of football than 4 hours. 2 women have been elden, a paris store by an assailant. under the knife report say the suspects note of had health issues, mental health issues, and is demanding an audience or the justice minister. please set up a security code and wanting people to stay away from the area. these pictures came in a bit earlier on. we'll have more or less evolving, sorry to say if any information more comes in through the course of the evening and night. this is national world news and 11 from oscar with me. kevin in. hi there.
3:15 pm
thanks for checking in the evening. know is going good. coming up. a major us network agrees to pay compensation to a teenager threatening with a multi $1000000.00 lawsuit for portraying him his races. seems to be winning more after break. ah . join me every thursday on the alex salmon shore. and i'll be speaking to guess of the world of politics, sport, business, i'm sure business. i'll see you then have all those driven by drink shaped by center. so those with
3:16 pm
there's syncs. we dare to ask. welcome to match hazards, financial survival guide. looking forward to your best video. yeah. this is what happens dimensions in britain del, at this app, if you watch kaiser report, oh, my god, i'm getting ready for moscow. so you as mainstream media of suffered yet another hugely embarrassing, incredibly expensive blow after a 3rd major network settled, $275000000.00 court case. and b, c reached a settlement then with kentucky, teenager nicholas sandman. after making it look like he committed a hate crime and
3:17 pm
a face, so for the native american column opens, got the latest on it. tonight. 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 2019. 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 of 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,
3:18 pm
mainstream media, social media, it's cetera, were quick to jump on the incident and say that because nicholas and wearing a make america great again hat that he and his classmates were racer, dan had graciously taunted this native american. 2 this is some of how the media reacted at the time, disturbing viral video and smart, outraged ord 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 and make america, great again, paralysing a native american out there, troubling incident at the foot of the lincoln memorial. nicholas sandman was only 16 years old, a minor at the time this incident took place and his image was plastered across the us media. he was accused of disrespecting, an elder taunting a native american. he was accused of being racist. many, many extreme allegations were hurled against him, his face was all across social media as well as mainstream us media. but then
3:19 pm
longer video surface that showed that he and his friend had not is shaded the confrontation. he did not approach the native american. and the scene of what took place was just wildly inaccurate. the way you asked media portrayed the chain of events as 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 our 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 grew a chance. 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
3:20 pm
remained where he had already been standing, placing his undivided attention on mr. 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. ah, so we'll see how much of a settlement is reached in those cases, but many are looking on and sang. 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. first court hearings on the image, 17 playing, crush of resume to the hague. the malaysian airlines flight was on route at the time from amsterdam to call a lumper when it was shot down over separatist controlled eastern. you cried in 2014, all 298 people on board were killed. now seated correspondent looks next at the exclusions and allegations along the way in the years since it has been one of the most politicized and scandalous childs in modern history,
3:21 pm
there was no other way could have turned out. almost 300 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.
3:22 pm
if you can call it that, only the very beginning we see too much politics in the idea was not to find out how this happened when all that. but the scene to be concentrated on claim to pin it on russia already there have well decided that he must be russia. we cannot accept that kind of far attitude. the netherlands form the joint investigative team to investigate what happened nominally, that excluded russia. the anti government forces in east ukraine, malaysia, of course, but it included ukraine, which itself was a suspect then rank the 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,
3:23 pm
what is the source of the tap to reports? doesn't alt office for these are mainly tapped conversations from the ukrainian service. ensure for non mainly, are there any other sources? nice issue. no, that had 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 that was supported by many forensic experts. that sounds to them. i found a total of 9 manipulations. there was a lot of editing here. this is left channel, right. can a dentist for clinton different i can see there is a difference of the noise and i also can see they are missing some kind of merging of an audio. this is entity yes is. and isn't lear?
3:24 pm
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 russia faded archie would have established that the russian federation was complicit in the downing of m age 17 because they made available the weapon that was used to shoot down the plane. we have all the material to substantiate that material that the defense says is full of holes. even dutch and peas were left flabbergasted when they wrote a report that ukraine wasn't at fault for allowing civilian jets to fly over an area that was a literal aircraft graveyard. but also to the actual submission of i find its
3:25 pm
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 direction to meet a campaign, his truck in an unprecedented scale put change ration 16th as presumed guilty. this is completely unacceptable. it was launched to compensate for lack of evidence in
3:26 pm
russia, provided a slew of evidence and findings to the joint investigative team and formation 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 that miss hall was fired from where the joint investigative team says it was almost everything was dismissed. but the prosecution wanted was a critical piece of evidence. satellite shots of the area believe 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 show any material. i mean, the investigative judge filed a 2nd request,
3:27 pm
you stressing the importance of the requested data that 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, 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 m h 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. one with this bulletin, russia's announcement said, kicker to german diplomat center retaliatory move. days are for pearling court claim. moscow ordered the killing of a former church in commander. the development comes in the wake of berlin and
3:28 pm
expelling to russians after the court jail demand for killing the former commander on german territory in 2019 moscow mediately slammed what it called, a political ruling, amidst general anti russian sentiment. russia denying any connection, declared the persona non grata as a symmetrical response. and i saw his world news at 11 from moscow with me, kevin. oh, and thanks for checking for this edition and stay with us. if you come for a flagship debate show. crosstalk in your part of the world after this break. ah, well, the panoramic no, certainly no borders under slide to nationalities and users as emerge. we don't have a tendency,
3:29 pm
we don't to look back seen the whole world needs to take action and be ready. people are judgment. 2 common crisis with we can do better, we should be doing better. every one is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great to response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. oh, seemed wrong, i just don't hold any world. yes, to shape out disdain becomes the advocate. an engagement. it was the trail.
3:30 pm
when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground a coil and gas, manufacturing, electricity, telecom transportation, all of them now have higher t type of infrastructure connected to the internet. so clearly realizing that it's disruptive potential so that those countries can't ignore it because it threatens national security. is super if we take the nato e u countries, virtually all of them subscribed to certain doctrines and maintains, sorry, but task forces. they are a cyber army on behalf of a country that's their job. ah .
