this is deja vu news live from berlin a horrific attack on a teacher near paris the victim for headed outside the school where he talks authorities are treating it as a terrorist attack. also prepare for a no deal break with the european union prime minister boris johnson's warning to the u.k. he says the e.u. doesn't want progress on a trade deal brussels says it's just empty rhetoric. and u.s. president donald trump takes his campaign from florida to georgia a state huge one in 2016 but this year that state may be up for grabs we go there
1:01 am
for the latest. i'm going to look up welcome to the program a teacher in france has been beheaded outside the school where he worked and what president emanuel mccaughan has called in islamised terrorist attack the incident occurred outside paris in the town of call for us all remain police say the victim had shown cartoons of the prophet muhammad in class the suspect was shot dead by police it's the 2nd islamist attack in france since the charlie charlie hebdo trial opened in september staff at that satirical magazine were murdered by islamist gunmen in 2015 after it published mohammad caricature.
1:02 am
at the scene of the attack french president emmanuel mckown said france would not be divided by terrorists. you know i call on all our compatriots at this time tonight to be united without any distinction whatsoever. because we are 1st and foremost citizens united by the same values and history our fate and. this unity is indispensable much has already been said and i will not add more the seasoning the attack that has been committed and there will be a swift and firm response. you can count on my determination and that of the government thank you your former. british prime minister boris johnson is warning the u.k. to prepare for a no deal break from the e.u. unless there's what he called a quote fundamental change of position from brussels even leaders have dismissed mr
1:03 am
johnson's statement statement as rhetoric just as leaders in brussels were wrapping up 2 rather slow days of talks from across the channel british prime minister johnson decided to breathe some life into the meeting given that they have refused to negotiate seriously for much of the last few months and given that this summit appears explicitly to rule out a canada style deal i concluded that we should get ready for january the 1st with a range moves that are more like australia's based on simple principles of global free trade the clock is ticking in 10 weeks time the u.k. could crash out of the block without a deal key issues regarding trade are far from being settled access to u.k. fishing waters yet another contentious issue. some e.u. leaders are warning that britain needs a deal more than the e.u.
1:04 am
the new some will seek new claim it just so happens that making the british prime minister happy isn't the location of the leaders of the 27 member states that chose to remain in the e.u. . the pony i mean it's a. little whatever the british people were told of joining the referendum they need the single market they are much more dependent on us than we are on them. the german chancellor being her usual self exercised restraint like most evil leader she's in favor of a deal but has made clear it cannot come at all costs to get stuff and be a active pm on the most important thing is that when we accept and acknowledge that the u.k. wants to go its own way with any clarity on how to react with the laws of the european union being increasingly different from those in the u.k. . and it's tiny and could. also be voted off the idea and
1:05 am
a future deal however difficult striking it may be is not yet completely off the table hope still lies on this man e.u. chief rexona go shader michaud daniel he was supposed to go to london on monday but it's unclear if that will happen. let's turn now to some of the other stories making news around the world a study by the world health organization says does not increase the survival rate of covert patients or shorten their hospital stays the anti-viral drug has been to treat patients in the u.s. earlier research suggested that it helped speed up recovery. hundreds of restaurant workers have protested against new anti covert measures in barcelona demonstrators threw eggs and plates at city hall because of the 15 day shutdown of bars ordered by the cattle on government the region is one of this of spain's worst hit with more than 20000 infections in the past 2 weeks. a court in berlin has
1:06 am
overturned a late night shutdown of bars and restaurants due to a rise in corona virus infections the judge said the german capital's 1st curfew in 70 years was an un reasonable infringement of the hospital of the hospitality industries freedom health officials said the curfew is central in slowing the rise of infections which is soaring in berlin. we're less than 20 days until the u.s. presidential election and both campaigns are heading into their last lap focusing on must win swing states in florida president donald trump spoke to seniors in important voter demographic aren't by that head demick is trying to regain ground as polls consistently put democratic challenger joe biden out in front in florida and nationally. the president delivered an upbeat message defending his record on
1:07 am
the pendant. i'm moving heaven and earth to safeguard our seniors from the china virus to deliver lifesaving therapies in record time and to distribute a safe and effective vaccine before the end of the year and we're really doing it even sure even better to see what's going on we have the vaccines getting ready to go seniors will be the 1st in line for the vaccine and we will soon be ending this pandemic. next stop is michael in georgia which is where our correspondent i mean s.f. finds himself tonight so i mean why is trump visiting georgia it's a traditionally republican state me one in 2016. i will and you know one biden supporter put it this way to me he said if trump is visiting georgia this close to the election his campaign must be in trouble that's what i think a lot of pro biden voters think because georgia is a state that has long been in the pocket of the republican party it has not gone
1:08 am
democrat since 1992 but the polls this year are showing it might go another way and might turn against trump recent polls put trump and biden neck in neck and even gave some gave biden an advantage over trump and a lot of pollsters say this comes down to demographics the growing latino population the state as well as higher turnout among african-americans and just from talking to black voters in atlanta when we were there when early voting started you can see the energy you can feel the energy there a lot of voters told us they're voting like their life depends on it and we came to this trump rally there was a group of black protesters who said they had never protested before but they just want trump's term to end to come to an end so i think that's what you might be seeing here in georgia this might be turning into a swing state. now you're very on the ground waiting for trump to arrive what's the
1:09 am
sense among some supporters. well total enthusiasm i would say it's almost like a rock concert you've heard probably that trump rallies like this people come from all over we talked to somebody who came down from boston to come here and talk to trump supporters and to tend this rally so this is really a big event. and trump supporters are enthusiastic they think that she will win the election here in georgia they're confident in a lot of them don't believe the polls they say that's just negative press and they have every reason to think that the polls are inaccurate giving given what happened in 2016 when hillary clinton was supposed to win the election and didn't that being said like i said georgia is a very divided so one trump supporter told me everybody knows his voting for trump but of course he probably doesn't know people who are voting against him. right it is a very divided situation and the polls are showing consistently biden in the lean is
1:10 am
that having any kind of impact on how both campaigns are you know coming down the homestretch. i think that's exactly what you're seeing here in georgia it probably was not on his list of states few months ago to come to not one of the battleground swing states of course this election will be decided by electoral college votes not the popular vote so the candidates really want to hit these places like wisconsin and pennsylvania that they feel are going to go to the other candidate because if the other candidate gets it they get all the votes there so i think you're going to see in the coming days more attention focused on places like georgia that may not have been swing states last election but in this election are tossed into kind of the chaos before this election with the coronavirus and the polls showing biden with a steady lead in places where he didn't have one before. all right we're going to have to leave it there i mean s.f. on the ground for us to knock on georgia waiting for president trump to arrive for his rally thanks very much. for democracy protesters have clashed with

1:21 am
a tip of the iceberg because in the past months they have seen an increase in crime cattle theft attacks on the farms not murders though but then this murder case off as young man came in and that's triggered a very emotional response that we've seen last week that also turns violence on the side of a s f economic freedom fighters they try to put a political point down here they are basically officially said they come here because of law and order they want to reinstate it but the other vision is also that they of course trying to represent the marginalised black majority here trying to get their votes and trying to advocate for land reform that they've been done for a long time basically advocating for taking away land from white farmers and redistributing it's to black farmers money it's only one point that i really have to say it's quite set is to see 26 years after the end of apartheid a protest where you have black protesters on one side and white protesters on the other that was really sad to see for me but this white lies on the other hand to see that if you talk to people here who live here they don't see that extreme all

1:35 am
and u.k. leaders to keep working on a trade deal after talks fizzled out this week at the so-called breakfast summit as the meeting in brussels wrapped up from mr boris johnson british firms to expect no deal exit unless the changes its position. for the pound we can began on friday as traders appear to be losing confidence that a break the deal is on the way covering the talks in brussels for us is our senior your correspondent barbara vai's will i ask what the mood is like between u.k. and 50 years out this route obviously is the time for finger pointing i mean the negotiations are drawing to a close there are maybe 23 or maximum 4 weeks left to get to a deal so the british side said in very strident tones that it's all the fault of the european union they haven't been moving at all they're not giving us what we
1:36 am
want which is a canada trade deal we remember sita the deal that took 7 years to negotiate and so they really need to bad now otherwise we walk. now to france where the government fears the covered 19 crisis could create a lost generation of young people the country's g.d.p. is expected to shrink by roughly a 5th this year about $750000.00 young people set to enter the job market this autumn w.'s lisa lewis reports from the french city of. youth unemployment is generally 5 percentage points above the national average. life has been an uphill struggle for the u.s. she's from one of the poorest neighborhoods dropped out of school early and has been struggling to find a job when the 23 year old finally signed up for training to become a care worker that was then suspended due to cope at 19 and yet today she feels

blessed. i got lucky i found a job thanks to the virus as the crisis pushed this nonprofit organization to set up a facemask workshop accepted their offer right away means i can make ends meet. lynette signed up for 6 months she's paid the minimum wage 80 percent of that are funded by the government the rest is covered through the state of the mosques the scheme also includes regular career counseling up with. the team in absence deal with problems related to how singing family issues legal issues and so on it's a real advantage i think people with a proper job must be envious of what we have access to during this program. since the start of the cave 19 crisis demand for such subsidized jobs at the organization has skyrocketed especially by younger people. that even people who hand in this
1:38 am
c.v. in person to increase their chances although that's not really unusual in the times of the internet there's also a wider spectrum of young people who apply i've got applications from graduates who have studied for up to 4 years and wouldn't normally look for that kind of job but they're scattered. apart from financing more subsidised jobs the government is also setting up new training schemes in the id and sustainable development sectors but this economist says all this doesn't tackle francis on the line problem. our young people are learning too many theoretical and not enough practical skills which leads to structural unemployment we need to really reform the articulation system from our elementary schools all the way through to university the young need to learn to think practically. linda is nevertheless convinced the scheme has allowed her to better understand what she wants in life. susan which is unclear but
