5:02 pm
on sunday, thousands of people came out to protest against belgium, government covert 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. 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 with our goal is to say, we don't want to, society looks at the 2nd quarter. we're here because our freedom is under threat and we want to restore it after it has been lost for 2 years. the point was i
5:03 pm
didn't 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 clashes 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 takeout meals.
5:04 pm
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
5:05 pm
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. yes, seems so your correspondent, the meantime, if you vaccinated, recovered or test negative cobit, you'll perhaps wanna digital pass for the luxury to get out in about a bits for christmas. but soon,
5:06 pm
you may not actually need to physically actually show a q car to your phone because a swedish companies invented a coven pass that seemed planted on the skin in the form of a tiny micro chips. you could have seen that come in. we talked to the people behind it or they're immersed opposed to ignore the that can be used for many different things. and right now it's very convenient to have a passport for way success to build on your plan. 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 and if the 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 passport that i have on my chin. so you
5:07 pm
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 use internet john thomason's, loggerheads with front. so the companies, cheap book deliveries independent bookstores and publishers say they've been on to cut and going out of business because of it. and according to french politicians, the solution is to make amazon charge their customers more. show the bend ski reports 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
5:08 pm
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 you 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 cent, and that has left many french publishers and stores like this simply unable to compete. and that is problematic for a country where independent bookshops are big business. there are more than 3300 stores here, significantly more than in many other countries in the european union. this new law is being welcomed by booksellers who say it will help protect publishers. to independent bookstores don't sell the same things as other sales points. they have more 1st time novelists, more challenging publications that as a lot hundreds of publishers and writers to exist. amazon had robbie, it's hard against the law and says it's free deliveries were
5:09 pm
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? where should i be? i am ready to pay me or because i prefer to go to a bookstore to see several books and make a choice. i find it better. i prefer to go and bind the bookstores directly. so here i think it's reassuring for the book industry outside of amazon learning amazon, amazon shouldn't have an anomaly on international sales because you can feel it locally in france. so if we can remedy this unfair competition,
5:10 pm
look so much the better church as much as i think it's important in society to help local businesses and especially booksellers sample i booked 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 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
5:11 pm
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 lot 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,
5:12 pm
amazon argues is that it is hiring people for its warehouses, its platform, 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, her small store need 3 employees. where are the 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 ne, funding is korea's been killed off pretty much as swiftly as the populace sitcom character report trade of sex, assault allegations emerged. he's no 2. millions of course has missed a big in the series sex from the city. but his role came to an abrupt and on episode, one of the recent reboot, the actors know been dropped to buy as agents, while fellow start distancing themselves. and thus, despite his strong denials, and so far, the absence of any police investigation, ne also lost a $12000000.00 deal to sell off is to kill abroad. in the wake of the allegations
5:13 pm
and exercise equipment company pellets, homes 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. that a 3rd woman came forward with a similar claim. chris noth, admits meeting the women, but in says no line was of a crossed journalist and commentator chadwick more talk to us about just how easy it is these days to ruin someone's life before this been any due process. a crime doesn't have to be committed in order for you to have your reputation road and 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
5:14 pm
not had actually sexually assaulted someone. there been plenty of times in which it's been proven that a woman falsely accused demand for vindictive reasons. it really discredits and does 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 worse it is for everyone and more of the people that get away with it is 14 watching out into national world news just after one i and then with kevin coming up, major us network agrees to pay compensation to a teenager, threatening them with a multi $1000000.00 lawsuit for portraying him. his races will tell you by the story and what else has happened this morning after the break?
5:15 pm
hello, driven by dreamer shapes banks concur some of those with theirs sinks. we dare to ask oh, so late, you cannot do anything about it. it's now a self fulfilling extinction event for the u. s. economy, sorry, america, but it's over because the ability to do what paul walker did raise right, is no longer on the table. because the duration rescued, the fundamental underpinning of u. s. canada, the bond market is so far out the alter that any little bit move up. we'll crash it
5:16 pm
anyway. so it's either crash or one way or crash in another way, but you're not gonna avoid the crash. ah, logan u. s. mainstream media stuff. and yet another huge de bursting and incredibly expensive blow off referred major network, settled a $270000000.00 court case. nbc reached a settlement with kentucky, teenager nicholas son. after making it look like he committed a hate crime in the face of the native american kellum open reports. 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
5:17 pm
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, mainstream media, social media, it's cetera, were quick to jump on the incident and say that because nicholas and i was wearing a make america great again, a hat that he and his classmates were racist, dan had to had graciously taunted this native american. this is some of how the media reacted at the time. disturbing viral video has marked outraged toward covington. catholic high school students locking a native american man, some of them harassing and jeering at a native american elder,
5:18 pm
disturbing viral video. show them all the teams that make america great. again, hash caressing 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 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,
5:19 pm
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 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 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,
5:20 pm
it would be good to get the fax right. first court hearings on the i made 17 plane crash of resumed in the hague. the military lines, flights was on route from amsterdam to call a loophole when it was shot down over separatist controlled eastern. he cried. in 2014, all 298. a board were killed. our senior corresponded looks next at the exclusions of the 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 innocent lives were lost in the horrendous tragedy that shook the world ah, inside mm
5:21 pm
. 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. the idea was run to find out how this happened and all that. but 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,
5:22 pm
that excluded russia. the anti government forces in east ukraine, malaysia, of course, but it included ukraine, which itself was a suspect. then ranked the 9 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 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
5:23 pm
were suspected of being manipulated and raped out of context and edited an opinion 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 the national right candidate, this booklet and 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 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 to the prosecution eventually contracted an obscure lab and lithuania to verify the recordings which they of course did. together with about 8 anonymous witnesses and a slew of and verifiable pictures from social media. the prosecution declared case
5:24 pm
closed from the lucia fated archie would have established that the russian federation was complicit in the downing of m. h 17 because they made available the weapon that was used to shoot down the plane. we have all the material to substantiate that material that the defense 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
5:25 pm
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 and an unprecedented scale put, change 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
5:26 pm
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 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 material. the investigative judge filed a 2nd request, 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
5:27 pm
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. are seni correspondence. finally for this news addition, rushes announced it set to kick out to german diplomats and a retaliatory move. days after a burly in court claimed at moscow ordered the killing of a former chechen rebel commander. the development comes in the wake of berlin expelling to russians after the court jailed a man for killing the former rebel commander on german territory in 2019 moscow. immediately slammed or called a political ruling. hm. it's general anti russian sentiments. russia denying any connection, declared their personal grutter as a symmetrical response. and that's our tease world news,
5:28 pm
