crimes and has now one small become a victim of islam of fascism. going for the proof of the goodness the 1st is that it's a threat that has france on high alert president mark hong kong a crisis meeting in paris before departing for nice. the french president has angered many in the muslim world by refusing to condemn cartoons of the prophet mohammed. was. it's a long standing debate in france reignited by the murder of school teachers some who had patti earlier this month he was beheaded after showing cartoons of mohammed in a class on free speech now france has 3 more reasons to mourn the national assembly held a minute's silence for the victims those in power face among comfortable questions in the days ahead many in this strictly secular country may ask if the official approach is the right one and whether they should fear more lone wolf attacks or

thought he's have raised the terror alert level to its maximum. are going to cross over an hour to repairs to catherine fielder she is a reporter there catherine you have any new information about the attack from the authorities and especially regarding the motive. you know we still don't have any more information other than it was attacked at around 9 o'clock this morning that was perpetrated against the churchwarden by the attacker and then a christian and the woman who had tried to flee the scene we do understand that the man is in custody he's in the hospital he's undergoing an operation we still have no more information on his identity no i.d. with him and you don't you think he was saying to police the 1st responders when he was apprehended was. now as you were just saw the french president had just arrived moments ago at the scene. what did you make of

his demeanor. he was very robust and his defense own freedom of speech in front saying he's clearly very shocked this is the 3rd attack by radicalized islamic. person in just over a month so this is becoming a dreadful reoccurring theme what he did say was that france not only is a country where everyone has freedom but people here have the freedom to a face and people have the freedom not to have a faith and he will put the full weight of the french state behind that he said that these attacks are an attack on the values of the french people so they're very strong words pretty much making it clear that he will not waver and certainly the basis of some of these attacks have been those kind of tunes that were published in charlie hebdo that muslims say is blasphemous again mr mack rules said that this is

a country where we respect freedom of expression and he also said that he would make sure that the catholic church was defended was felt secure in the lead up to this sunday's old st holy day and that he is also ordered more than 50 percent increase that just $7000.00 troops will be on the street guarding system sites across the country in the next few days that includes churches schools as well as other religious sites that is a very remarkable there catherine because as we understand france has now announced that it raises its attack level to urgent what does that mean. that means that the french police security services troops have the right to virtually stop and search anybody who they think may be about to carry out an attack in france really is on high alert not just for tanks here don't forget that

earlier today there was an attack on official guard at the french consulate in jeddah so france is very aware that it has really its back is up against the wall at the moment these attacks are happening not just in france but also outside france so to this new increased of measure that was put in place by the prime minister just goes to show you that they are see a full of more of these attacks across the country and then you raised over 2 other attacks taking place elsewhere as well today there has also been a we understand another incident close i mean you know shortly after the nice attack tell us a little bit about that. yes it was a man who had some sort of weapon he was threatening people in the streets of of a young police were cold they shot him this happened you have really about the same time as the niece of tank which is why is the goal of police particularly concerned

it's another town in france so you really wouldn't expect this type of attack but it is also being a security alert in the central french city of leone there a young afghan man was arrested he was threatening people he was carrying a knife and it just goes to show that this is a threat that the french feel is right there is very prevalent is certainly in the lead up to this all saints day holiday catherine field reporting from paris thank you. we turn our attention now back to germany here where the chance i'm going miracle has defended the latest round of coronavirus restrictions as the country prepares to go back into a limited lockdown dressin parliament's a chance americal said it was currently impossible to trace the origin of all new infections hampering efforts to contain the virus she faced frequent interruptions and the opposition have called the measures excessive and inappropriate empty restaurants and bars no museums no theaters these images are actually from the 1st

wave of the pandemic but in november germans will have to get used to them again as coronavirus cases rise chancellor merkel announce sweeping new restrictions the main difference this time is that schools and shops will remain open on thursday merkel defended the new policy in a key speech before the german parliament. is upon the mere. finished pandemics throws the spotlight on a word which is part of our most essential vocabulary freedom does most of the meaning of this word is not very concrete because the measures agreed by the government and federal states in the spring and yesterday restrict our freedom actually the same time we can understand that freedom does not mean everybody does what they want especially now with freedom it means responsibility i'm talking to their. own responsibility for ourselves our families

our colleagues and for all of us. macca was constantly interrupted. and the parliament speaker saw himself forced to call for order the biggest opposition party in the bundestag the far right if he was quick to slam the measures given that we consider the paralysis of the cultural industry the hospitality industry and practically the entire social life as announced by mrs merkel to be excessive and you know appropriate. now one of the big questions is the financial impact of these restrictions the german government has promised economic support for businesses that are particularly hot hate the idea of a new for a cause these are focused measures limited to the month of november and to certain sectors we are able to offer massive economic and financial support to those who in

a sense shoulder the dealing does it isn't. that there's also the issue of whether citizens will actually comply with these new measures the government has enjoyed high levels of support but criticism is on the rise and there's also an evident coronavirus. you know more our political correspondent kate brady joins me now kate great to see you let's pick up where thomas left off in that report there's a lot of talk of fatigue growing frustration with this whole coronavirus pandemic how supportive are germans of these new measures. well it's interesting if we take a look at a couple of recent polls actually and the number of people saying that the current measures for this partial lockdown comes and doesn't go far enough has actually increased almost a 3rd now but at the same time the number of people saying that the measures that we currently have right now saying that they are already too far that's also increasing so what we could see in the coming weeks is

a polarized nation of sorts but of course this solidarity and people making sure that they are abiding by the new measures is something that so far has been a large part of germany success or relative success during the pandemic so this could have a huge role in it and the effect of of this partial lockdown and whether it has the effect that chancellor angela merkel is hoping for right the desired effect because there's been a lot of pushback today from the opposition in the parliament was she able to win them over or effectively make her case for these new rules. she certainly made her case winning them over especially winning over the far right a.f.d. she said they did not but as we've seen throughout the pandemic she's following very much the the scientific advice at the moment which is that of course very clear explanation that the corona virus spreads more quickly the more contact the people have with each other and so this is how she's really justifying this new

partial lockdown that's going to take in next week and the hope is that mrs the state premiers sorry and i'm going merkel will be able to meet again in october and we'll be able to reassess the situation and see how far germany's come of course it's it's necessary to have such a long period of even 2 weeks to really see any effects of what they're having on the numbers because of the delay because of the incubation period of the coronavirus so it's going to be a long process a long month for people here in germany throughout november but of course compared to other countries this is still a much lighter version of the types of lockdown that could have been implemented and that is of course for perspective very important that you raise that point now the business community is very worried about these new restrictions they fear this could be the death knell for will the promised financial support to offer the long

term issues that many people are worried about as well especially in the culture sector and what that might mean for artists who in the meantime a simply going to have to find work elsewhere and this could have a very long lasting impacts on especially the cult a culture industry going forward something that was just about starting to get back to its feet after that lockdown earlier in the year kid really reporting thank you . and there are now some of the other global developments in the pandemic in the un has now passed 8000000 confirmed cases is the 2nd highest number after the united states but india has one of the world's lowest death rates meanwhile iran has reported a record death toll for a 2nd straight day as the worst hit country in the middle east and taiwan past 200 days without any domestic transmissions of covert 19 officials are hailing the achievement as a success story. and as you probably already know the pandemic has affected all

walks of life also here in europe for young people it's changing the meaning of well in young parties are mainly out meetings with friends or strictly regulated sports tournaments and class trips cancelled all here's a closer look now at the how the pandemic is reshaping life for europe's young luci a is 16 years old and lives in cynthia's spain her life has changed dramatically at her school in person learning only takes place in small groups the rest is all mine this is emma who done up a man we used to meet more people now i just go around in a small group of friends we used to go to the movie assume but we don't do it now because of the risk we used to go everywhere by bus now i only want everything else changed everything's harder now still she says she understands why the rules are in place but we do have grandparents and older people in the family that's why i don't

think the measures go too far there are something good. matt lives in the polish capital warsaw the pandemics constant stress and worry as well as social isolation have taken a toll. i suddenly had symptoms of anxiety disorders and develop tics and quaint uses have told me that they have psychological problems and anxiety from the constant uncertainty. just like you peeking out of. politics are a big interest last summer's presidential race saw him not get involved in l g b t activism that helped. and then you took my sense of activism was real one can because of the pandemic and that's a great thing there were presidential elections during the pandemic and there was so much hatred directed at people. tara is 18 and lives in london and is also finishing school she wants to go to a highly selective theater academy she's driving the fall and winter months.

corbin has been suspended from the labor party after an inquiry into alleged anti semitism a report found unlawful harassment and discrimination took place during his time in charge the u.k.'s human rights watchdog identified serious failings within the party mr corban says he was determined to eliminate all forms of racism during his time as leader of the british labor party let's bring you more on these or revelations in these findings rather our correspondent peter must standing by in london big and why is this is spent ssion happening now. suspension of jeremy colvin now is because the what came out with the findings like you said they found there was an in adequate process within the labor party of tackling and to semitism and to semitism was much talked about in the labor party during the leadership of jeremy corbyn it was

a big problem it came up again and again and there were many voices within the party that were saying that there is a problem that the labor party has a problem with anti-semitism and the leadership doesn't really look into it in the proper way and this is exactly what the watchdog found it found that the leadership didn't really handle these complaints that came up in a good way and then why do it because it was suspended today is because of his reaction to the findings of the of this commission to date he said that they were overstated for political reasons and this is something the new leader kids dhamma and said this is just not the right reaction if you in any way minimizing the problem of anti-semitism we have had in the labor party of late then you are part of the problem so that's why jeremy kuhlmann got suspended for it how surprising

are these accusations i mean and what does it really mean for the party going forward every discord and still have a big following. well yes jeremy corbyn cause was the lead up until really the north long ago and he was the hope of the party he was the hope for many on the left of the party and theories a lot of particularly young people they were hoping that he would be a very left leaning prime minister so that the new leader. took the step i think is quite drastic and i think a lot of people wouldn't have expected this to happen now the people on the left of the party who are still supporting jeremy corbyn will argue with him that this is a political move to basically suppress the left voices in the labor party but this was with a kiss start with the new leadership will say well no this is not political this is really about the issue of anti-semitism and that. anybody who minimizes the

problem with anti semitism within the labor party is just no longer tolerable now in our remaining 20 seconds what will happen to the crippen he says will be just be flushed out. well really we're seeing already on social media jeremy cool business fighting back and people who are on this side are fighting back and they're saying well stand with us remain calm but we need to sort this out and we need to basically you know make this on happen soon get this suspension removed from from jeremy cool been so this will be a fight within the labor party that will pan out over the next days and weeks that's for sure to be continued. thank you reporting from london. right now the top stories that we're tracking for you this hour french police say 3 people have been killed in a knife attack in the southern city of grozny the attack took place at the central
