For double standards off the senates boxer bill to jail sports topas, except in the us itself. Donald trump rushes to carry out election promises including getting troops out of afghanistan and iraq, as he continues to question the us president ial election result on russias president says, care about bloodshed could have been stopped. Weeks ago, before the armenian azeri conflict took so many casualties, all correspondent reports from a russian peacekeepers observation. Post. One of the benefits of the troop goes to those who are russian. Shes from mortars reflation being fed up. You are the gold. Weve got a bomb, is a neutral territory, a very warm welcome to you. Its 11 am here and most, and youre watching R T International with me in a key area. Its great to have you with us. Now protests have turned violent in france following a draft security bill to ban publication of images of police with intent to cause them harm. The interior minister insists the bill will protect the offices, but it sparked outrage from rights. Campaigners take a sound, water cannon have been fired in the french capital to disperse crowds, angry at the move hold on. As you can see, Police Vehicles are moving down and pushing the protesters down that this street protests since you come, im going against a Global Security law to draw. 7 from real thats being discussed in the National Assembly on tuesday evening. This is a rule which includes an element which if cost could make it illegal for people to disseminate to record and publish images over police offices. If there is intent to harm a criminal eyes, ational of could lead to morning, amphoras who are now 45000 and we have seen police battening. And through acking 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. Thank you. Thank you. Ive seen women having their hay young to being abused to be grabbed by the head to be thrown to the floor by Police Officers, medics being hit by police battens. And in fact, as we were just at the metro station, 2, making some of that violence against the protest as we ourselves were forcibly chucked out by the police, my cameraman, who robbed by offices while he was filming, while we were trying to do an interview. And ejected from that crowd that this protest is proved by journalists who knows. The law has been criticised by the un dressing terms of its democratic course occurrences. The bill could lead to significant violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms in particular, the right to privacy and the right to freedom of expression. Intent is a concept that is open to interpretation and hard to determine any photos or video showing a dent a fireball. Police officers that are published or broadcast by critical media outlets, or are accompanied by critical comments, could find themselves being accused of seeking to harm these Police Officers. For journalists, the legal risk exists, and the possibility of conviction would be real images over the police up protests have been used time and time again. Show the violence thats been used that this is law, would essentially stop. Thats what you can say. They say that it is censorship. However, the government says this new 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, the seething, weve seen bottles thrown towards and far as being lit. We have seen destruction here on the streets of paris with the bus shelters being smashed in. So there is violence on both sides. And the government says, this noor 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 of the security of their offices, they will side with the security of their offices every time anybody who would be found guilty of if this law passed would find themselves one year behind jail with a fine of 45000 you 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 of the protesters. But the reality is it is been a brutal like with violence from both sides. But from where we have stood, the violence has been main coming from the police to wards protesters who for the most part we have you witnessed them doing anything to well deserve some of the violence. Ive observed this evening. Political analyst convention, police Police Officers now should expect to be catched on, come visit me something going on with 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 showing policemen today or Law Enforcement agents. Who are law abiding, who are respecting the law, who are just doing their job in trying to make sure that demonstrations are going as normal. People are feeling today because weve seen in france and these past years, extreme violence, a lot of demonstrators there, only defense is to film the policeman showing that this is my security, my insurance, that you wont get me up. If you do, im going to make sure that your face is on is an internet. I think it is extremely important. d that people who are on the streets that people be able to film this is extremely important. Thats part of the job Police Officer 2020. Thats the way it is. If you dont want to be filmed or become a Police Officer, i think this is something which is which is important. The wells Anti Doping Agency has blasted the u. S. For a bill to jail. Anyone involved in sport started paying, accepting the us itself. Want to added it stuns by the double standards, especially as america has a disturbingly widespread problem with the insane and you do bring agency wishes to understand why this legislation excludes vast areas of u. S. Support. In particular the professional leagues in all college sport. If it is not good enough for american sports, why is it fine for the rest of the world . Washingtons rolled out its latest offensive in the war on performance enhancing drugs. Its called the rod chunk of act, anti doping act of 2019 which strengthen the integrity of International Sports competitions by imposing criminal sanctions on certain persons involved in International Doping fraud conspiracy. The act would green light washington for legal action against doping conspirators in games involving american players and it outlines some have to be penalties, fines of up to 1000000. 00, as well as prison sentences of up to 10 years. A dream come true for the usa today. It is a monumental day in the fight for clean sport worldwide, and we look forward to seeing the act soon become law and help change the game for clean athletes for the good. Considering how the u. S. Has treated domestic doping in the past. The log book could probably use of updates take Julian Edelman, the patriots shining star and super bowl m. V. P. His career seen some great achievements with a little help from dope, its wide receiver Julian Edelman is facing a 4 game suspension for performance enhancing substances. A 4 game suspension is quite a long leap away from 10 years in the can for edelman though, the cushy treatment didnt end there. He was still showered with awards at the years and even sealed advertisement deals. There are no rules in basketball. Its a similar story. Last year basketball, prodigy deon, dreyer, 8, and was caught doping up his punishment jail. Just kidding. He was suspended for 25. 00 games and then showed up on the jimmy kimmel show. Hes a member of the n. B. A. All rookie team from the phoenix suns. Say hello to deion 38 and hello to you. All right, ok. And heres the best part. Hes now the face of a Protein Health shake commercial eyes on the prize. Thats how you do it. Washingtons long made it clear they take doping in sports very seriously when of course, it suits their agenda, sports fighter and broadcast on and more once the us bill has a completely different agenda. So the state this has nothing to do with Police Welfare or looking after kids. If they did, it would be told 3 different stuff, looking out for the us is not going to those neither for the sponsors of the sport, its simply looking out for the breeding money, interest, the hollanders, media, and government is not in to do with r. C. , whether because it was obscene welfare, they would have brought it in across the board. All the Major League Sports in america would sign of the mission into water. But it wont do that because the owners of the big major sports teams in Media Networks who cover them. But the huge be massive is yours and investors in these sports want them so does, has nothing to do actually, whether this is simply of those greed and the dollar bottom at peytons authored a behind the scenes look at talks to ends that have gone. I care about conflict, the russian president explained the peace deal between armenia and azerbaijan could have been reached weeks ago. But one of the nations was reluctant to concede, contrary to popular opinion that he would not stay on october 19th and 20th, i had a series of phone conversations with president lee, evan Prime Minister, passion, yen. At that time, the armed forces of azerbaijan had regained control over an insignificant southern part of care about he would. In general, i managed to convince president aliyev that it was possible to stop the hostilities if you put his obligatory condition with the return of refugees, including to shusha. Then unexpectedly, for me, the position of armenian partners was formulated in such a way that it was unacceptable for them that the Prime Minister told me back then. But no, we cannot agree to this. We will fight, therefore, accusations against him, of some kind of betrayal have no basis. The truth is widely seen as a capitulation in armenia triggering protests and demands the Prime Minister quits. Theres a different mood in azerbaijan. Barkley keeps his military gains out this month, will receive 3 other districts and in the disputed karabakh region. But its not about putin stays ending. The bloodshed makes it a win win summer glau. The most important thing thats been done is to stop the bloodshed. Over 4000 people died according to official data. In reality, i think there are more tens of thousands have been injured and maimed. This is not a movie. This is a tragedy that is taking place in real life with real people affecting real families. Therefore, stopping the bloodshed is the key thing or thought and historian, gerald horne told us how the armenian premiers you turn on the truth, cost him national support. Keep in mind that when the Prime Minister or many are, went into this war, this conflict with deserve that is left to the deaths of thousands to the maiming and injuries of thousands to the creation of displaced persons and refugees. The significant percentage or a 1000000 population, not to mention, there were many an aspirant in the Prime Ministers corner. But as is often said, victory has a 1000 parents. And defeat is an orphan. And so now what you see, there are a number of there were millions, were cheering on the Prime Minister when he wanted this conflict, or when he entered into this conflict. Now were ready to see him take the nearest and close this. Refugees, meanwhile, continue to return to carry back under the protection of russian peacekeepers. On tuesday, 500 armenians travelled back to their homes. Having fled the fighting 1700. People have now gone back to the key city of the public hurts and expressed thanks for russian support. We feel that we arent alone anymore. We are supported. Weve been given our lives back. Im happy that russia has with me. I have nothing to do is respected russia and i have nothing to lose. I feel happy and proud that we have friends like this that help us and dont leave us in trouble. Russian peacekeepers have reopened the only road link between armenia and the recent rate interest ensure the safe return of civilians. The missions also help to improve cooperation between armenian and desirae troops in karabakh, and sees more galaxy of sensors. This report on the peacekeeping. Just north of shushi, the site of some of the bloodiest and most merciless fighting of this war, is a russian peacekeeper outpost. They arrived to a scene from a nightmare routes lined with bodies and bombs burned and blasted vehicles after weeks of failure. As she was eventually reached on the 10th of november, it was full of compromise where armenia agreed to hand over various territories. It controlled to a. Z. Headed by john, the latter agreed to let Ethnic Armenian refugees return to their homes. But signing papers is one thing. Making sure things actually happen is another one of the benefits of the 2 dozen or so. Russian seized monitoring stations that have been set up here in the go in the car bomb is that they are neutral territories. They areas where as their buddy troops just a few 100 meters away from us can come as well as armenian forces. And they can resolve their disputes with the help of russian peacekeepers. As mediators, there are also areas where the red cross can come. For example, to do its own work, such as organize the exchange of prisoners. The exchange of the remains the fall in troops to coordinate the mining operations. Its all about trust peacekeepers serve an important function. Sure. They discourage ceasefire violations. But that only gets you so far, but they shine that hes getting those who waged war to build peace, to that end. Humanitarian groups of floor kts to care about the red cross being at the forefront. Now, rudes and passes once littered with bodies and traps and mines a safe again. But what breeds even more optimism is the tommy millions in his head by john. These can gather at the same place and talk if through russian peacekeepers guys do have the gold make up a little trump makes a radical Foreign Policy shift, knowing it may soon be reversed by president elect. Joe biden will reveal all parts of the brain. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics. Sports business, im show business. Ill see you then is your media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safe . Isolation or community, are you going the right way or are you being led . By what is true, what is in the world corrupted, you need to descend to join us on the death or a made in the shallows. Welcome back. The u. S. Has announced the withdrawal of 500 troops from iraq and thousands from afghanistan. Is that to take place in january just before projected president elect joe biden is expected to take office some potentially oppose that decision. And a further complication donald trump made the announcement while still disputing the Election Results arties tell of the pentagon has announced that it is reducing the number of u. S. Troops in both iraq and afghanistan between now and mid january. U. S. Troops will be drawing down their presence at roughly 2500. 00 remaining in both countries. I celebrate this day as we continue the president s consistent progress in completing the mission we began nearly 2 decades ago. Viewers will recall that donald trump has recently fired a number of pentagon staff, including mark asper, the secretary of defense. At this point, donald trump is still contesting the u. S. President ial election. Though most u. S. Media outlets have declared joe biden to be the winner. Now donald trump campaigned on a promise of withdrawing u. S. Troops from around the world, putting america 1st and drawing back the u. S. Military presence in countries overseas. And it appears that with this movie is partially fulfilling that promise. The u. S. Public overwhelmingly shows in polls. They do favor a reduction of the u. S. Presence overseas. However, it seems that the chief of nato was not thrilled with this recent move by trump. We went into afghanistan together, and when the time is right we should leave together in a coordinated and orderly way. Will this change with a joe biden in ministration in the white house . Joe biden has also indicated that he favors drawing back the u. S. Military presence overseas. However, joe biden has continued to emphasize that he will not withdraw u. S. Troops from afghanistan. Americans are rightly weary of and longest war on him too, but we must end the war responsibly in a manner that ensures we both go against threats to our homeland and have to go back at the time of the u. S. Intervention. Joe biden was a big supporter of the u. S. Invasion of afghanistan. And joe biden has been very outspoken about the need for a continued mission there. And a continued u. S. Military presence. Pistor is going to judge us very harshly. I believe if we allow the hope of a liberator to evaporate, because we are fearful of the phrase nation building, or we do not stay the course. Now Joe Bidens Administration looks like it might be more prowar at this point. Folks will recall that joe biden not only supported the u. S. Invasion of afghanistan, but he was a big supporter of the us invasion of iraq and actually drafted legislation that helped to make that war happen. Joe biden furthermore indicated that he is likely to appoint susan rice as his secretary of state. Now susan rice is a big supporter of u. S. Military interventionism, and she served in the obama administration. In addition to that, weve got michelle floor in a was being pointed to as potentially the secretary of defense for the biden administration. She was a big advocate of u. S. Military intervention in syria and u. S. Military intervention in libya. Does this mean that if Joe Biden Takes Office in january, he will reverse Donald Trumps recent move to pull out u. S. Troops between now and january. That is unclear, however, on many speculate that the biden ministration will have much more of an interventionist bent than trump. Trump is doing this for political reasons and trying to fulfill a Campaign Promise hes not on the mall. You also got to keep in mind, he may substitute u. S. Troops for private military contractors. The whole notion is for him to have all the troops by next may, but then by then you may be into a biden administration. And the troop levels could go back up again. Really depends upon commitments by the taliban. And what have you, and youve got to consider that a biden ministration given the lead in neoconservatives may be jumping on board. His Administration May pursue efforts to keep troops there. And even Establishment Republicans are calling for troops to remain in afghanistan and probably even in iraq. The u. S. Military is reportedly buying up location data from apps are specifically targeting muslim people the online magazine behind the report says the moves particularly disturbing, given the pentagons history in the region. The u. S. Military, which is infamously used other location data to target drone strikes, is purchasing access to sensitive data. Many of the users of apps involved in the data supply chain are muslim, which is notable, considering that the United States has waged a decades long war on predominantly muslim terror groups in the middle east and has killed hundreds of thousands of civilians during its military operations motherboard does not know of any specific operations in which this type of app based location data has been used by the u. S. Military. Its stated that the u. S. Government obtains data from muslim focused apps like muslim pro, which claims to be the most popular of its kind with almost 100000000 users. Others include muslim, mingle, a dating up with more than 100000 downloads and similar apps being targeted focused on specific muslim countries like iran, turkey, and egypt. Now, more general apps are on the list, who among them a step counter, a job site, and a weather forecaster. Selling their data brokers is not unusual. In this case, the broker is a Company Called x. Mode. It makes money from selling access to clients, including defense contractors and the u. S. Military. But x. Mode insists the company has noble ambitions. X. Mode licenses its data panel to a small number of Technology Companies that may work with Government Military services. But our work with such contractors is international and primarily focused on 3 use cases. Counterterrorism. So disk your, a c. And predicting future covert 19, an American Military spokesperson has reacted to the reports. Maintaining the pentagon protects the privacy of the u. S. Citizens. However, some up still want to know who the brokers are selling their data to. Since the report was published, a muslim probe has reportedly broken ties with acts mode, launched a probe International Relations professor jamal wakim says this is all about u. S. Domestic politics. The United States response may be a comic social crisis. 1 1 being the crisis, not too late to blame on themselves on the establishment. d who are reaching this, all those who are what we call in Political Science to export prices, which is to blame it on an outsider. Not on an inside that i remember escapes the muslim countries and that was no more than the Muslim Community inside the United States. A justification for that crisis. And of course it could also just the be interventionist policy. Thanks to choosing r. T. International. Were back at the top of the hour with the latest results of the u. S. Election cycle. A surprise to many, there was no blue wave, and the g. O. P. Witnessed games fall across the board. Both parties have deep internal divisions, and the court is in both parties based populist challenges. Is this the perfect recipe for a political deal like during the vietnam war, u. S. Forces also bombed a neighbor unless there was a secret war. And for years the American People did not know until now. So my skin is officially heavily bombed country per capita. Human history, millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this Small Agricultural country. Jordyn wieber going to happen even today, kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago. Is the us making amends for that tragedy and help to the people need in that little land on greater, transferred to say simpson, excessive baby and alarming everyone mindlessly. Actually what that means is we end up Picking Solutions that cost a lot, but actually drink very little. Its just a kind of fuel instead of Actual Solutions that would fix Global Warming was always on the bull, but at least national big city, bright lights, you. But you know, g. s and many dangers blatantly to its also a city where up to 300000. 00 crimes are committed every year before. Last, when they do most of the reasons, least one Police Officer for every 200 residents in russias capital. And i will make sure that i will not go through with the truth. This is boom, bust the one business show you cant afford to miss. Im going to washington coming up. Countries around the globe are getting closer to the release of a vaccine for cobra, 19 more testing and distribution concerns like ahead well talk to these expert, dr. Paul fit about the future of the shop and big clearly continues. Topping 17000. 00 while bringing up many points along for the ride. We have a lot to get to. So lets just start big news this week as mother and i become
