who comes in. those witnesses say the attackers shouted out o. 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 friends hostage with regards to its muslims will not fall into this trap we will not fall into this trap. 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 tex says the government's response to the murders in nice will be firm implacable and immediate bernard smith al-jazeera paris president amanda mcconnell. the incident an attack on france. absolutely 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. david is live for us david just tell us what else did to manual mcconnell have to say today. the most important message from president emanuel my prom was that for

a start this was an attempt to break apart the communities inside france and that was not going to happen they will stand united united behind the secular values of this republic. that the operation which. 1000 french troops to patrol around france is going to be more than doubled starting this weekend from 30027000 that is to start protecting to make sure the churches and the schools are completely protected from anything like this attack this is david less than 2 weeks after the murder of teachers on your party and of course the country is on the eve of her of another lockdown and in a few hours time that will come into effect what's the feeling there among people you're speaking to. well i mean it's one of the as the president said

profound shock they were taking their children for a final walk this morning before the curfew would start at 9 o'clock french time another month of lockdown we all know what pressures that creates being confined to such a limited space in many of their places here in nice especially with also the know it the knowledge that this attack did happen the catholics the largest church the basilica of not too damn right in the center of the city so a very unpleasant nerve wracking start to another month of lockdown and so the president was trying to give them some form of hope some form of strength saying that france will not be broken by this this will not divide the communities the communities will actually support each other these are brave words of course words really expected here in the center of the attack and in

a city which is also felt the blows before 4 years ago when more than 80 people were killed in a terrorist incident where a truck was driven into those watching the bastille fireworks on in penance day so this is a charm with the city with knows no stranger at all to this sort of pressure but on top of covert 19 this is really putting the screws down on people's psychology it's a very unpleasant thing to happen but double prices if you like just as they start lockdown thank you for that update david takes a life for us in nice. well as david mentioned nice is no stranger to attacks 4 years ago a truck was deliberately driven into a crowd celebrating the steel day 86 people were killed and hundreds of others were injured in 20153 soldiers guarding a jewish community center with stand by a knife wielding attacker he was sentenced to 30 years in prison and in 2316 people were injured in a bomb blast at a local government office. the many is

a general and former head of the french military mission to the united nations he joins us now from paris thank you for your time general what do you make of all of president obama called visit to nice today in the wake of all of the attack and also what he had to say i mean there was this call for unity at a time when he is being accused of actually deepening divisions and from. now you know i think it too is quite right saying that we are one nation and we will not be divided and i want to salute what the. musée you big city clothes from me says this have decided to meet this evening in front of the cathedral in order to assure there's a radar ety with the french katty well i think if they show really that's who we are you. the french can be 1st limbs ok. but they don't need to kill each other because of their religion no problem is with

extremists. want to destroy this extremism. or mosque which are already frauds and that's why there is this fight currently wrong ok i mean some would argue and critics have said why should muslims have to defend their religion when these attacks are not carried out because of religion but because of radicalization something which france is counterterrorism strategy has apparently failed to address no or the exactly they just want to show the room is the prince citizen and they want to show there's a radar it inside the the nation of course nobody owes them money finest or to do something. they simply designed it to show unity with the french and to show that the extremists almost pulse of islam they are best in france. coming to france is counter to counterterrorism strategy has it failed i mean

a few years ago the concern was about returning feiss from syria now we don't know about this attack or in particular but it's agreed that you know now people are being radicalized while living in the europe so it is perhaps failing to confront the new terrorism challenges no it's certainly there is a lot of work to do and you're right for a long time french politics didn't find it really against these people who were looking. for example when your good organisation which are all managed by muslim brotherhood. and society so now i think the question of my quote is clearly show that you want to win this fight and that's why the minister of interior to provide a blow in order to stop subsidies to this organization and to be able to discern organization almost almost more quickly than it has been done before

so i think we are late but we will. come but speaking of those missions which were were implemented. the murder of teachers samuel pati and many mccourt has been accused of using a broad brushstroke in his response to mr party's motives some muslim group groups and communities feel that being unjustly todd with the terrorism brush as it's being said what are your thoughts on that. no my thought is just the president say that we've got the right to do to see the problems and you don't have to. do it do it to stop us doing that that doesn't mean. i mean i'm not a great fun of of. when they're making a choose against muslims or christian i don't like that but they've got the right to do it and that's the only thing we are defending the right to say what we won't we what i can say the contrary and without been persecuted. some critics have said

emanuel must emanuel cons response to all of this is actually just him looking ahead to the presidential election in 2022 wanting to align himself further with the right what's your take no i don't think i think this discussion has started as soon as the president has been elected yet you don't mind because he didn't want to spread the society on the subject but the events now are putting that in probably news but it does mean is the intention of the president to own this program and i think that now it's the right time to do it thank you so much for analysis there general. thank you well david is have been quick to condemn the incident the e.u. as they will that as a terrorist attack and is urging understanding among religions turkey's foreign ministry has offered this solidarity with the french people despite song that is

running diplomatic spat with paris tweeting in french and then in english u.k. prime minister boris johnson said he was shocked to hear the news adding that the u.k. stands steadfastly with france against terror and intolerance at the vatican said it is a moment of pain at a time of confusion terrorism and violence can never be accepted celyn said jock is a political scientists she did nonces maccollins treatment of muslims and from. in various earthward of the team in france it's very sad to see the innocent people killed. by disco and of terrorist attack but the problem actually that we are just seeing especially in france prison mccrone is just trying to prepare the next election and try to get the word of promise you know which is the you know this is enough what is the most part in france yes he want to just prevent

a radical is ation trying to establish a new internal police for the prevention of radicalization but the problem is actually all his police actually that there that he's leading the problem is much more. related to the discrimination of muslim community than integration of muslim community actually the problem of europe the problem of france is the integration of muslim community by tomorrow head on the news hour including the worst tragedy at sea this year u.n. says at least $140.00 migrants and refugees a fair debt off the coast of senegal. a tougher and sets of landslides in vietnam killing more than 50 people and leaving many missing at sea. and it's forced to close to serve the world series when actor is now the subject of

a major league baseball investigation. and running surging coronavirus cases in european countries is forcing governments to take drastic action the spanish region of catalonia is shutting its borders for 15 days its main city barcelona is one of spain's hotspots where the shutdown of bars and restaurants is being expanded a study in britain says new infections are now doubling every 9 days government ministers are under pressure to impose a national lockdown and in germany child solder markel is defending her government's decision to impose nationwide restrictions starting and of amber. and so should you nomic incident in the dynamic of this rate of current infections will overload our intensive care units in just a few weeks from now all of this shows us there at the beginning of the cold season we are in a dramatic situation it affects all of us without exception. and france is imposing

a month long national lockdown from friday with no one allowed to leave their homes except for essential reasons the touch of outlet is live for us in paris natasha what more do we know about this lockdown the details around it. well the full lockdown comes into effect at midnight you can probably see people behind me it's quite dark but i don't know if you can make out that people are packing out the cafe terraces as they try to get in their last drinks before the lockdown ironically it's exactly the sort of scene that the government is trying to stop because they have been very worried indeed by the exponential rise in corona virus cases over the last few weeks we've seen like 50000 on some days and experts say that that number could actually be twice as many because there are so many asymptomatic cases and cases that are being tested so there's no doubt we're told by the french presence of manual much will be similar to the one that we had

earlier this year and that it will be relatively strict people will not be able to leave their homes for more than a kilometer limits they'll have to have a permit when they go out they can only go out for an hour a day and only for essential things like a medical appointment or to go buy food on the other hand michael says there's a little bit more flexibility so it's in in the schools will remain open however stricter protocol in schools children from the age of 6 will have to wear masks up until now it's only been from the age of 11 and some businesses will be able to stay open in terms of factories construction work essential services public services that sort of thing amount of macro says that this is necessary to stop the 2nd wave which is sweeping across france and he says it could be far more deadly than the 1st and not just sweeping across the front apparently across the rest of europe to tell us a little bit more about the situation in places like spain in germany.

yes several of the european countries also battling the 2nd wave as you say we have seen doctors and it's really worn over and again over the past few days the i.c.u. for itself getting up there in the country similar picture in spain where the where the government is being put in place a new public health a state of emergency in order to give them more powers to put in tighter restrictions as spain's catalonia region closing its borders because of infections there and then germany putting in place a lockdown that's being called something of a look down light if you lied because it's not quite as straight as a sort of lockdown we're seeing here in france that will begin on monday where things like pools gyms restaurants bars will be shots but some shops will be open for example with limits on the amount of people that can go indoors more we're also seeing is governments across many of those countries including here in france having to really defend their choices and their decisions because many people like how did well how many people are saying how did we end up in a situation where just 5 months after the 1st lockdown the began in march in most

countries here in europe we're back in a situation where we're back in lockdown and there are people who feel deeply resentful of that to a very worried about the economy they're worried about jobs and worried about people's mental health and they also feel that governments in europe should have done a lot more to coordinate to make sure prevent such a situation ok natasha butler there live for us in paris thank you very much i was a growing divide between northern and southern england of the economic response to the virus local lockdowns are in force across much of the north who's covered 19 infections continue to rise does andrew symonds reports from manchester those cities are demanding more help from westminster. the north of england has long been the poor relation to the self in its economy and welfare with cove it hitting harder here now that the rest of the country it's open the gap even wider might just as initial refusal to move into the highest level of restrictions led to

a standoff with central government over funding it's resolved now but a reframing it's. this is the north of england has consistently lost out. consequently it's created an entrenched north. descend to the north can be measured by the industrial scale of voluntary food distribution for the poor be. there's a lot of children that just simply live in poverty is an issue that skyrocketed throughout the u.k. highlighted by the social media campaign run by manchester united football and marcus rushford he grew up in poverty rushford efforts to persuade the government to provide food for children join the school holidays in england failed but nationwide businesses large and small along with shoppers are donating food and money it leaves boris johnson's government on the back foot although he says improve social benefit payments will provide for the poor on the ground charity

workers working with rushford say the government isn't doing enough reflecting as a charity worker of over 30 years experience myself i am worried that perhaps the government is depending on the charity sector to you know fill the gaps that's tiny bit too much and that actually what we really need is more centralized leadership and fortune asian and boris johnson is facing pressure from within his own party $54.00 m. pais from right across the north of england have formed an action group many of them won seats from labor in last year's election and they're saying that the government looks set to break its promises of a levelling up of the north-south economic divide. in warrington a town where the highest restriction level was imposed this week again the focus is on deprived areas the number of children in need of food support has risen by more than 20 percent we're in the 21st century with the 5th richest country in the world

party is trying to convince the divisions to look away when you hear these arguments i just ask you to do this search your hearts look at the facts listen to the tales of the survivors and of their families just go washington has more now from gaza. the youth wing organization and there he spoke to them and told them that he believes is a model for the religious pluralism and shows how different religions can live in harmony and he used the example of what is happening in china. as the greatest threat to religious freedom and he urged this group of moderate muslims to consider what is happening to the minority. and he did say that he acknowledges that has made efforts to attempt to describe what is happening in. as counterterrorism.

efforts but he also to seriously consider. true for the most part. the world's largest muslim majority country human rights abuses against the. don't really get that much attention and that's clearly something that secretary of state . this is part of the secretary of state. very brief trip through. and now he did meet with president. here in indonesia and this is part of the u.s. efforts to try to contain chinese influence here in this region but indonesia has a long history of having aligned foreign policy what that means is that. positive relations with both china and the u.s. . supreme court has sentenced former president to 17 years in

prison. as president from 2002 trying to have been convicted of bribery the best. 15 years and ordered to pay millions of dollars in fines. the better version president has replaced his interior minister the police chief who has led the crackdown on anti-government protesters in the capital minsk alexander lukashenko also appointed a former head of the k.g.b. police as one of 2 new aides around 16000 people have been detained since his disputed reelection in august which opponents say was rigged the former leader of britain's opposition labor party says he will contest the decision to suspend him from the party jeremy corbin was suspended for rejecting a report on anti semitism in the party during his leadership unfounded jewish party members suffered harassment and some complaints were ignored because been said he

was not part of the problem and that it had been dramatically overstated the current opposition the disagreements if after all the pain all the grief and all the evidence in this report there are still those who think there's no problem with anti-semitism in the labor party that it's all exaggerated or thought. but frankly you are part of the problem to a jew should be no where near the labor party either the barca has more now from london. it's a huge blow for people who supported jeremy corbyn throughout all of this and the big blow for the man himself who's led the labor party for 4 and a half years against 3 successive conservative governments of david cameron to rescind mayor boris johnson until dramatically losing the election in december against boris johnson partly as a result of of course his handling of bricks and partly too because of the scandal surrounding allegations of anti-semitism within his party that prompted this

investigation by the equality and human rights council and those reported back that the labor party was responsible for unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination against jewish members of the party of politically interfered in the complaints process he him selfe is not accused of anti semitism but as the leader of the party essentially overall responsibility fell to him he responded though to this report saying that it was dramatically overstated for political reasons and that's put him on this collision course with the new leader of the labor party kiran starmer who has now suspended him it means that jeremy corbyn still remains an m.p. albeit an independent one but considering he's been an m.p. since the early 1980 s. a significant blow to him and a clear indication that star wants to take the labor party in a new direction breaking from the past the u.s.

supreme court has rejected every public and bid to name it when mail in ballots can be received in 2 key swing states and sylvania in north carolina and maine votes posted on november 3rd can be counted in several things afterwards. same with the usa action and native americans are a small but potentially important group of voters particularly and when the states now many a fison obstacles and casting their ballot ripples. on the vast and remote stretches of the navajo nation where people live in isolated communities there is keen interest in the presidential election. voted early so that we can show how important kony should joe is a nurse and has seen firsthand the devastating effects of colored 19 on the reservation according to the u.s. census bureau there are about 6800000 native american and alaska natives in the u.s. but native voters could have

a disproportionate effect on the election in several important swing states the native american vote at least in 7 battleground states could actually sway the election one way or the other many native americans believe president donald trump has treated them disrespectfully as when he used a white house ceremony honoring navajo world war 2 veterans to attack one of his critics democratic senator elizabeth warren they call or pocahontas. turned to suspects the colts or other native voters oppose trump's decision to green like controversy all oil and gas pipelines on native land many demand stronger efforts to end extreme poverty and low life expectancy on reservations and recognition of sovereign treaty rights joe biden and camila harris have met with native leaders to discuss these issues of concern i think that you will see more

participation of native americans throughout the united states but many difficulties stand in the way of native voters some states with voter identification requirements won't accept tribal i.d.'s others require voters. provide a street address which most native americans on rural reservations don't have there are few polling places on reservations mail in voting is difficult because reservation post offices where most people pick up and send their mail often are closed or have limited hours of operation and are also few and far between and the navajo nation in or the the medium for a person to check their mail is 38 miles a marathon and a half so there is nothing in going by mail that makes it easy for native americans native voter advocacy groups are suing in several states to force more voting access on reservations and less unequal treatment compared to other voters who no
