it's the stray indigenous incarceration. on al-jazeera. france and shock has 3 people were killed in a knife attack at a church in nice. and can beat al this is our desire a lot from doha also coming up president it's an attack on fronts as tensions rise of his comments on islam. in paris that french m.p.'s stand for a moment of silence in honor of the victims. and europeans face more coronavirus restrictions as a 2nd wave of infections effects in everyday life all over the continent.

3 people have been killed in a knife attack at a church in the french city of nice several others have been injured the attacker was wounded by police and is in custody in hospital but it's with reports. a place of worship now a crime scene inside not a dumbass silica early on friday people have been praying when a man armed with a knife started to attack them 3 people were killed one of the victims a woman was decapitated according to the police another victim was the church's warden. i still imagine him i still see lighting the candles and now i'm thinking he's not there in. we are always with him he's always there he spends the day that he shares his life he's not someone who comes and goes

witnesses say the attackers shouted out of akbar he was shot by police near the church in central niece and is now being treated in hospital for his injuries. but we are heard to once again see that our city has taken like this i want to tell the families of the victims of this barbaric attack that everyone in the community is by your side i want to say that we can no longer with the laws of peace in our country wipe out islamofascism france's national assembly held a minute's silence as news of the attacks came through. we revolted with what's going on is an attempt to take french hostage with regards to its muslims will not fall into this trap we will not fall into this trap does. this attack comes 2 weeks after the murder of school teacher samuel petit in a paris suburb he had been decapitated after showing caricature of the prophet muhammad to schoolchildren to illustrate a lesson on freedom of speech and secularism france has now raised its state of

emergency to its highest level prime minister john kass texas says the government's response to the murders in nice will be therm implacable and immediate. bernard smith al-jazeera paris. president trying to con isn't nice he's called the incident an attack on from so don't give me the film of the absolute it's a firm message that i want to share today and it's equally a message of unity in france there is only one community the national community i only want to tell all of our citizens no matter their religion whether they believe or not we must at this moment unite and not cede to the spirit of division i know that all of our citizens are profoundly shocked by what has happened and therefore i call for unity. let's go live now. there david tell us more about emanuel khan's visit what else he had to say and also what security measures have been put in place. well the president 1st of all was very keen to

appear on the scene to offer its regrets and comfort to the relatives of those 'd who were killed in such appalling circumstances inside the roman catholics biggest church here in nice right in the center of the city of facility basilica of not too damn so as it was pointed out by the police who witnessed the aftermath of the attack it was in the poor living scene an appalling scene one woman's head of being completely cut off and many others have been slashed with a knife he was carrying so the president 1st of all wanted to try and reassure the local residents of nice plan is in place a strategy is in place and that france will not tolerate these type of attacks which are meant to divide the communities to divide the muslim community from the christian catholic community of france this what is most important message and of

course it came in the wake of the islamic fascist comment by the nice man i think he was keen to sort of remove those sort of divisive comments entirely from the agenda here in nice he wanted to bring back calm bring back unity because if that doesn't happen then the people who are launching these attacks have started to gain victories and that's what president is determined that will not happen and it was apparent when i came here just after the top the sense of shock once again in the people of france and also here in nice once again they were going out to the shops are they heard police sirens or. out of the shops with me because they're about to enter lockdown and all the months of lockdown so they want to get things for their families instead they heard those sirens again from the police remember this was the city that 4 years ago and i was here when it happened. a truck driver

killed dozens of people who were celebrating the steel day fireworks on the coast here just a few 100 yards away from this attack so this was a deliberate attempt to try and break that unity those secular values of france where they say that. if you want to live in the republic you have to abide by the laws of the republic nevertheless the muslim community here 5000000 people the biggest in europe do feel under pressure at the moment both because of the attacks in france but also because of the comments from president marc draw and others which are putting them under pressure under equal pressure so it's a very delicate balance the president has to walk here he has to be on the scene he had to be talking to the people who sort the eyewitnesses on the police who reacted so quickly shooting the gunman just 12 minutes after the incident began taking

mental hospital under arrest in his hospital bed it's important the president or his police and intelligence chiefs now find out if he was alone if there was a chain of people behind him who funded them why did he do this these are all the important things that people have nice in the people of france want to see because they feel under threat they feel very vulnerable which is why of course president has announced that. over the weekend starting from tomorrow will double the number of soldiers patrolling across farms from 30027002 make sure that all the places of worship in france are safe and secure and that's a very clear message from the president from the elisei or his senior ministers of france is not going to give in to this sort of attack. ok thank you there live for us in the. well mary i'm. a journalist and

a research associate at the center for islamic studies at the university of london she says france has failed its muslims. france is facing multiple fires and sometimes when you are faced with one very large fire with right now obviously as people are being attacked and killed that becomes the focus there is a there are the fires which have been burning for a while now and that is each you of civil liberties when it comes to france's masoom minorities now the problem is that you know this isn't the right time to have that conversation because the really and truly the focus needs to be on ensuring that people are not being killed in the street and that is i think fully understandable at the same time these instances cannot be used to silenced very legitimate concerns from a community that has seen. all changed in many ways we've seen a state of exceptionalism that was instated after the 2015 paris attacks which so

many people. you know detained at home arrested with very little justification is necessary because of exceptions being made to what would otherwise be the rule of law so i think my point my point in that piece in my point i guess more broadly is that there are much wider issues of discrimination against france's most him population which do need to be tackled which otherwise can potentially feed into a narrative that exploited by extremists nice is no stranger to attacks 4 years ago a truck was deliberately driven into crowds celebrating the still day 86 people were killed and hundreds of others were injured and 20153 soldiers guarding a jewish community center was stabbed by knife wielding attacker he was sentenced to 30 years in prison and in 2316 people were injured in a bomb blast in a local government office. peter allen is

a journalist in paris he explains how these attacks are being perceived. i have. covered a lot of these terrorist acts in paris and indeed in need some in power the moment of the today's terrorist atrocity is in need they are absolutely bob with us everybody condemns them but you have got to be able to discuss those terrorist attacks in one context and the nature of the way 5 to 6000000 or 20 muslims are treated as well and at the moment is an appalling conflation of the to decide dear if you speak out against attacks on islam and the many muslims who live in atlanta you're somehow supporting people that madmen who go around beheading people and this is the huge problem with it all so yes there's shock and outrage we all condemn this while terrorism but on the

other i don't think there's a nice appreciation of how muslims feel and plans about these constant attacks on their religion and this portrayal of muslims through the child had the cartoons i keep coming back to these cartoons because they're very violent moment some somehow being cratylus in outside a society just figures there to be not a lot that if you put any other social group in that position and said the government is going to support these attacks on you it will be an up. and alarming surge in corona virus cases across europe is forcing governments to take drastic action politicians in spain are voted to extend a state of emergency for 6 months it gives regions the power to impose their own restrictions as winter threatens more infections germany is also headed toward a national lockdown lasting all of november chancellor angela merkel is warning

that intensive care units could fill up. and. the dynamic of this race of current infections will overload our intensive care units in just a few weeks from now all of this shows us that at the beginning of the cold season we are in a dramatic situation it affects all of us without exception france is imposing a month long nation wide to lock down from friday with no one allowed to leave their homes except for essential reasons. has more from paris people in france facing another month of lockdown at least because what we understand from the head of france's scientific council is that that lockdown could well be extended the french president says that he hopes that people will at least be out of their homes by the end of year holidays but whether that happens no one really knows because everyone has been watching over the past few weeks the cases the new cases of

current affairs infractions rise exponentially we've seen on some days more than 50000 cases a day some experts say that could actually be around a 100000 cases a day if you count people who are asymptomatic so the french president says this meltdown is necessary to try and stem the further spread of the coronavirus he says though the smoketown be a little bit different than the one at the beginning of the year in march and april in the schools will remain open have the children from the age of 6 will now have to wear masks at school at the moment it's only from the age of 11 and some industries can stay open so factories and building and construction industries like bass and public services will be able to remain open nevertheless it will still be very strict for most people they must work from home as much as possible and in terms of whether they can leave the house or not only one hour a day probably within a want to kilometer perimeter so very tough times ahead for many people here in france. still ahead on al-jazeera a thai firm sets off landslides in vietnam killing more than 50 people and leaving

started to talk about a little bit as these numbers continue to be good for him in terms of the national polls and his solid lead in these now kind of tempering expectation about what he can do on day one as president if he does win the election in terms of turning the pandemic around he's now saying that he'll look at science but don't expect to turn things around with the flick of a light switch so this is certainly an interesting message from a president or rather a presidential candidate that has repeatedly criticized donald trump's handling of the covert 1000 pandemic here in the united states dozens of bodies from the month of fasting and we're going to kind of bach have been exchanged by armenia and azerbaijan the handover was a brief pause and hostility to cease fire appears to have failed the city of stephanotis came under heavy shelling from the very forces of the by john accuses army of killing at least 21 people wounding dozens in a missile strike on the city of fatah intelligence has more from the armenian
