In thought, the French National assembly a controversial bill is up for debate on images that could identify please some be used for malicious papa says outside paris, tons to tom walsh are knocked down as thousands rally against the new trough till the u. S. Announces it will withdraw all fountains of troops from afghanistan on iraq before president all a copy of the office in january on the us senate possums, an act that could see huge fines or even jail for those involved in the full story. But the World Antidoping Agency was an experience while american support while allowing International Prosecution to go ahead and i welcome you, watching us into national, which im sure you knew thanks for keeping us company this hour as we see whats happening around the wild about to start us off this hour with the russian president has all but you are with the russian president has given some insight into the protracted negotiations to end the newborn a conflict. A lot of hooten explained that that was a chance the peace deal could have been reached weeks ago between armenia and azerbaijan. But the Russian Media said that one of the 2 warring nations was wroth that reluctant to give up. Well, for more on this, im joined now by breath and austin, our, whos in the studio, maria . I mean, it sounds like that was everything was set to be done a couple of weeks ago. What changed . What happened hasnt, is putin spoke to journalists about to go and get about for more than 40 minutes. And yes, that was among the key, the most important things. He said the bloody war that lasted 6 weeks and took so many lives and so much devastation and destruction could have been ended earlier. This is what the russian president meant. He would not step on october 19th and 20th. I had a series of phone conversations with president aliyev and Prime Minister passion yann. At that time, the armed forces of azerbaijan had regained general. I managed to convince president aliyev that it was possible to stop the hostilities if you can put his obligatory condition using it was the return of refugees, including to shusha, sudan, unexpectedly, to me. The position of armenian partners was formulated in sit in such a way that it was unacceptable for them to come to the project. And, you know, we can say this, we will fight, therefore, accusations, you know, with people seize in the parliament and we say hardly do anything. What did presentation you wouldnt know it, you can assess to accuse turkey of violating international law. Probably. Why provoke the armenian side with the prince of turkish soldiers on the border . It seems to me that present the one perfectly understood, didnt have any problems. Here. We agreed that turkey at the request of azerbaijan, the problems here. We agreed that turkey at the request of azerbaijan will take part in much. We will do this with turkey together. Bearing in mind that we have very good experience with cooperation in the middle east, including in syria in the libyan zone. And on the border between syria and turkey. We organize joint patrols together. This kind of cooperation is not required here, but we agreed that we will create a joint several vehicles. Together. We will control the situation along the border with the help of these aircraft. Together, we will receive information together, analyze it, and draw conclusions from what is actually happening with the center will be located, is another question. It would be obvious to locate in the sovereign territory of azerbaijan and azerbaijan has the right to make a decision independently, and considers it necessary to getting a live report and also mention the role of the collective Security Treaty Organization that some critics accused overseas treaty organization, some critics accused of not doing enough to protect their media enough to protect their media. He said that the fighting was never on the armenian terror, that, that the fighting was never on the armenian territory. In accordance, credible, hes not part of armenia. And this is why, although our media is a member state of this organization, it wasnt in any danger. He wasnt attacked, and this is what there was no, any reason for the sea to step in. And he also said that the border kind of buffer now will remain disputed territory disputed areas. So its status quo will remain but in the future when the wounds are not bleeding anymore. And by john and the media may return to discussion and may resolve this issue. Speaking about the peace, they rush, armenia, and azerbaijan. Last monday, Vladimir Putin said putin said that all 3 sides were very careful and very cautious about details and paid attention to every war. Than every, basically cold war and it was worth it because that was how the bloodshed was stopped. Some of the most important thing thats been done is to stop the bloodshed of a 4000 people who died according to official data to show in reality. I think there are tens of thousands have been injured and maimed, and this is not a movie. This is a tragedy that is taking place in real life with real people affecting real families. You know, therefore, stopping the bloodshed is the key thing. And margaret wouldnt also stress that it would be suicide to try to violate the agreement because it is there to bring peace and it should be respected or the police as a peace deal is on 6 weeks. Go now either way, a huge sigh of relief for everyone that it has now been reached. That was refreshing. Joining me in the studio, lets turn our attention to the french capital, where crowds have gathered in paris to push it gave a draft law designed to protect the identities of police, shot a tube, and ski has been right in the center of it all. Well, its turning into an unreal day night here in paris as the assembly, the National Assembly debates that Global Security law that draw floor that includes an element that could criminalize the publishing of images of offices that could lead to them being identified. There are protests here on the street, which is being moved at the moment by the police, a huge security presence out here in paris to see even, and in the last half an hour away, it has really kicked off here. It looks very calm at the moment, believe me, the last half an hour we have seen police battening and whacking protesters trying to move them from the streets behind us. You can see that there is a row of Police Vehicles here that water cannon as well. Thats being used tonight as has ample tear gas. One person told me that they were being forced down into the metro, which is just behind me where you might, will see that there are huge number of Police Officers around. They said they were being force inside there, the tear gas being left off inside there and that they were being forced down to be is fixated well, of course we go down into the metro. But there is the scenes as theyve been described by some of the protesters to no, ive seen women having their hey, yeah. And being used to be grabbed by the head to be thrown to the floor by Police Officers on the floor. You owe them that the medics being hit by police pattons. And in fact, as we were just at the metro station filming some of the violence against the protesters, we ourselves were forcibly chucked out by the police, my cameraman, who grabbed by offices. While he was filming while we were trying to do an interview and ejected from not crowd her sister, that is exactly why journalists unions n. G. O. S and the u. N. Of to cried part of this law as being something that could destabilize will have terrible democratic consequences. And thats because images over the police are protests, have been used time and time again shown the violence thats been used and that has been used to pursue cool, says against Police Offices to bring cases to the Police Unions to the authorities here in to make sure the people of where of that this law would essentially stop that. Thats what unions say, they say that it is censorship. However, the government says this, moore is needed to protect Police Officers from the violence because while im talking about the police hitting protesters trying to move them around, we have also seen violence towards the police this evening. Weve seen bottles thrown to alton fires being lit. We have seen destruction here on the streets of paris with the shelters being smashed in. So there is violence on both sides and the government says this new is needed to protect the police. Police unions say it doesnt go far enough and if it is a choice between freedom of the press and liberty, when it comes to showing these images to the security of their offices, they will side with the security of their offices. Every time the tensions on the streets have risen to extremes, that i have not seen in a long time in paris. As we have seen, those Police Officers forming lines forcibly pushing tribes down and beating them back with their batons. If they didnt move or if they didnt move fast enough, no sense of who they were hitting, just that attacking. And that is the kind of a mitigated violence that unions a warning that could be come more extreme if this moore is a person, if it becomes illegal, if its criminalized, to show, to publish images of the police. Now anybody who would be found guilty of that if this were passed would find themselves one year behind jail, within 5 to 45000 year is that is a severe punishment. But let you tell me this. A severe punishment is being on the frontlines in an evening like this when the tensions are so high. And there is that attack from the police. Possibly because theyre also afraid over the protestors. But the reality is it is been a brutal light with violence from both sides. But from where we have stood, the violence has been mainly coming from the police to watch protesters who for the most part, we havent witnessed them doing anything to well deserve some of the violence ive observed this evening. Well, lets now bring in political analyst nicholas. While i want to ask you, why exactly is this law that seems to be just protecting the police . Why is it warring sides large scale alarm . And as we can see anger on the streets. So this is just one element, its a more global law. We state that the french government wants to harmonize the different police. Weve got in france. You got shit on donald who are military, got local police, national police, but they want to harmonize all that. So theres that, theres something going on with your reorganization of the French Police and Law Enforcement agencies. The tip of the iceberg that were talking about today, and its getting everybody really nervous, is the fact that you would not be able to morrow to film a policeman. And i think its important to state that people are not so many. Policemen today are not enforcement agents who are law abiding, who respect the law, who are just doing their job and try to make sure that demonstrations are going as normal. People are feeling today because weve seen in france and these past years extruding violence. If you look at the major demonstrations, the demonstrations against same sex marriage, the demonstrations to review their retirement plans, that they yellow vests when you live, as he simply says, offices shooting people with the rubber bullets weve seen a good day really excrete the scenes on the scenes in the streets of paris, violence from some of the demonstrators, of course, but still brothers, people, unheard of violence of from policemen who spent a lot of demonstrators, their only way of defense is to film the policeman showing that this is their, my security, my insurance that you wont beat me up, and if you do, im going to make sure that your racism is on internet. Thats the only reason why people want to film the policeman. If this is a very pointed state and because of the violence, weve seen Police Violence weve seen on the streets. I think this is quite scary and its very bad. Tiny phonecall and his unusual case takes government to be doing this. Now, in a situation where already practiced in the very 1st fruits of this police state where now hes got to fill in a paper in france. If you want to go, well, weve got room blocks with policemen asked because of the corruption on the lockdown. Where are you going with People Police that weve seen videos of people today and a gallon on the mainstream and not a mainstream media, but on that, on the social networks stopping people in the street because 13 year old kid was not wearing her mask. And you were in there losing drag on the streets, we sell and we see this. So this is were seeing the 1st fruits of a police state and also that we would not be able to do this to me. It would be illegal and thats getting a lot of people. Lets look back from a different angle a couple of weeks ago course we had the ups, hebrews, who beheading of the power school teacher, samuel party. And that was a concern that photos on his name had become public and perhaps that put him in more danger before the actual accident or incident. Rather nonaccidental incident is that im not a concern that perhaps people will use this ability to film and take photos of police to put them and their families in danger if they want to take justice into their own hands. Now i can imagine that understanding that could, that is a concern for the, for the, for the police. Ringback forces for sure, but again, i think law abiding Police Officers have nothing to fear. And if people are using because of other people, weve got laws in france to protect, protect people and to protect their, their own security as sort of people are using images. Ringback or pictures of people and theyre not allowed to do what weve got to log a 1000000 fans were supposed to. But to protect these people, why all of a sudden, just tell people that they wouldnt be able to from a Police Office again. Why are they filming it . Because theyre not binding, but because theyre, theyre using use of force because theyre beating up people because these people should be kicked out of the police. And thats why people want to be able to film them. And in those cases, why would it be illegal . On the contrary, people, this is a, this is something which is as it is something which is elite group, people have to feel it. And then the police have to use those videos to make sure that i mean, using that misconduct and that type of attitude because it took them off the enforcement agencies and says, thats why its that so that the law protects the people with the most guts today. To make sure theres no abuse before. I mean, i think this is a very important and i can understand Police Officers are concerned by that. But if theyve got nothing theyve got in the room had it you would. Then theres no, dont you know, on the law protect them. However, if they are using an abusive force, then they have to worry because demonstrators have the right to protect themselves and have the right to assume that because thats a breach of the law. Unfortunately, thats all we have time for today, but sadly pennies all of the while having a lot of attention at the moment that was nicholas markovitch, political analyst, thank you so much for speaking to us. Thank you. But 500 troops from iraq and thousands from afghanistan and it will take place before with the incumbent President Donald Trump and leaves office by january 15th, 2021. Our forces, their size in afghanistan will be 2500 troops, or 4 sides in iraq will also be 2500 by that same date. This is consistent with our established plans and strategic objectives supported by the American People and does not equate to u. S. Policy or objectives. The acting defense is replaced mark s. Balls to he was fired by donald trump on chris miller. Has made it clear he wants to bring an end to the navy 2 decade old and gates moment in afghanistan and also iraq during the president ial election result. But it, john, your exit from the white house looking fairly likely he is apparently going to fulfill some of his Campaign Promises to bring u. S. Troops home before he goes. Michael maloof, a former Pentagon Security policy, analysts believe middle east tension will ramp up under by 2 ministration. Trump is doing this for political reasons and trying to fulfill a campaign promise. Hes not all the more you also got to keep in mind. He may substitute u. S. Troops for private military contractors, and that is also something thats lurking in the background. But no ones talking about it. The whole notion is for him to have ever troops by next may. But then by then you may be into a 1000000000 in the streets. And the troop levels could go back up again. I think youre going to see a lot more tensions in the middle east. Because of the near cons. And you know, conservatives who are joining by administration while down today ph and see how its described. A new bill coming through the u. S. As a power grab by the american typical fortys, which could allow the United States to create a liability outside of its jurisdiction wide. And my colleague on discuss those concerns over the socalled, what you call anti doping act. Without a Sports Correspondent alex say ourselves. Well, the biggest concern is that this new act which is called the russian, named after a russian whistleblower, basically applies to international culprits, but not the domestic ones in the u. S. Now theyre watching entails up to a 1000000 dollar fine or even 10 years in prison for not the athletes themselves, but the entourage of an athlete, or even the government which is accused or suspected of adopting scheme. But the original draft of that bill included us professional sports and us college sports, but by the time it reached the senate, miraculously this part of the bill disappeared somewhere. So now basically it excludes all the majority of us professional sport. Now this is one of the things that they World Antidoping Agency expressed their concerns about, among other things, including, you know, how come the u. S. Is trying to make itself into the world. Antidoping police. Lets have a listen. Well, along with a number of governments and sports arenas, issues, theres legitimate concerns about the roche and of act. In particular, it may lead to overlapping laws in different jurisdictions that will compromise having a single set of rules for all athletes around the world. Water, which is also to understand where this legislation excludes vast areas of us sport in particular, the professional leagues and all college sports. If its not good enough for american sports, why is it fine for the rest of the world . Now the main mastermind of this new bill, if its not good enough for american sports, why is it fine for the rest of the world . Now the main mastermind of this new bill is traver steiger, the head of the u. S. Antidoping agency, and its not the 1st time that tiger was, has been involved in some sort of rift between the usada and the World Antidoping Agency. There have been cases where the u. S. Hinted through tiger that they would even pull funding from water if it refused to play along. So basically, the only thing remaining for this bill to become law is trump signature and no one else. This will happen. Brace ourselves for more drama in the end, just to remind us to alexey why it is called the act. Now obviously this relates to go to direction of who explode, that the world of sports in 20 explosive allegations against russia, against the russian government that it was allegedly involved in some sort of doping scheme for himself is hiding in the United States. There are rumors that he even changed his appearance that he had a Plastic Surgery or Something Like that. But the funny thing is there is a job going about now that the 1st person prosecute persecuted under this new should be watching himself. Since he claims that he was part of the state conspiracy and you know, going back, this is basically a criminal offense. Now if this bill becomes law, but obviously this is named after him. I mean the irony there is, the sports rely on whistle blows. Dont know, but my exactly will discourage them from coming forward in case they get committee prosecuted. And i was russia then reacted to this bill. There has been a reaction from russia through the kremlin spokesperson, the middle school for who called this kind of move, unacceptable. I believe we can listen to the cricket pitch skew, which we are extremely critical of any attempt by the United States to extend its jurisdiction to other countries used such cross border practice isnt acceptable. We disagree with that. And of course, this can cause nothing but concern. Its not only just on paper looks like a unilateral decision to govern the antidoping processes in the world, which is why those certainly unhappy but you mention it right. The fact that will was will now be afraid of being the fact that whistleblowers will now be afraid of being persecuted. This basically hampers the whole process of whistle blowing. If this bill becomes law, we also have from sports psychology and security act. But out of cashmore who thinks the legislation wont be effective in tackling the problem of doping. The irony of this absolute paradox of the center of it is that its designed to in fact it will probably have the opposite effect. Because anybody who does decide to they want to, to grass up, in other words, to spill the beans, to inform, in other words on doping that they suspect is going on. Well, immediately be held complicit in the action because they have a say, how did you know about this . Did you ever do anything to contribute towards the doping offense . And if you tribute towards the doping offense, and if you did, maybe will now be here as well. So it will actually intimidate potential whistleblowers, certainly it appears to be the United States positioning itself as the worlds antidoping close. It appears to be the United States positioning itself as the worlds policeman. I dont often agree with water, but i think that they will have something very strong to say about this because really straining on their toes. Lets face it. A case solved the wrong place at the United States has waged a decades long. Will it dating up with more than 100000. 00 text mode licenses each day to travel to a small number of Technology Companies . Well, lets just make it stated that the Us Government attains states have from what your best guess be. Im relieved that the establishment in the United States know that it is, i think through the crisis they were on a bit of the Muslim Community in the United States as an outsider. And they were, they would try to export the economic crisis. The social crisis in the United States, the political crisis, and an outside the which is of course the Muslim Community. Community collecting data will be a clue to accusing the Muslim Community and the possible illegal. Youve been good to accusing them of terrorist acts or any sort of the c. E. O. All that night says only the location data is distributed, but the company itself has access to more detailed postle information. Whats your take on how much of a threat that is to haitian data is telling them its a objective which is defined be published by the United States, especially under by then. That will not be a problem being up to the trial and they will try to blame it on an outside that im dissatisfied to see the Muslim Community that was all over the world
