we're not totally. these. this is g.w. news live from berlin tonight the threat of terrorism what is europe doing about it after a series of islamist attacks in france and austria the french president is calling for a coordinated response and for better border protection also coming up russia of since troops to the disputed region of nagorno car when force a cease fire that it brokered between armenia and azerbaijan to deal appears good

for eyes are by john but it has led outraged armenians to storm their own parliament plus the world welcomes news of a coronavirus vaccine that appears to work and so far shows no negative side effects. and the palestinians mourning the waltz of one of their own voice i have ever caught has died from coded 19 he was an architect of the 2 state solution with israel and. i'm off to those of you joining us on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of you around the world welcome we begin with security and terrorism here in europe leaders in the european union say they want to improve their shared security after a recent spate of terror attacks in france and austria. chancellor angela merkel in

berlin joined today a virtual summit with the leaders of austria and france in paris president emanuel is calling for a swift and coordinated response and he denounced what he described as the misuse of europe's asylum laws by people seeking entry for sinister reasons and he said the fight against islamist extremism must be a joint effort to look at the. capitals of all of us who are here together have been affected on terrorism from paris to brussels vienna utrecht london madrid barcelona copenhagen stop nice vienna now and so many of this is a european reality to which we must respond you know that that is why we need a common coordinated and rapid response this is what we have agreed today is good and what the social duty i was the 1st president speaking their lives take the story now to our correspondent barbara vessel she joins me tonight from brussels

good evening to you barbara so a coordinated response what sort of measures are we talking about here. well the main thing for all of lee is that the european leaders just need to be seen to act they need to be looking tough to their citizens particularly the french president and monreal mccrum he's under pressure at home so this is a whole bundle of measures because we know that islam is terrorism is not one single thing it's a multifaceted phenomenon is we're talking about external border controls and that is one of the main points the sort of borders of the e.u. aren't terrorists leaky and the attack of from these this was a young tunisian man who just a few days before the attack come to italy and then freely traveled up to france in order to commit murder there so that is just one of those cases and mccrum wants longer some of the european leaders to have more controls within the european

travel border free travel zone the schengen area that is disputed but there will be some controls of france for instance has doubled the border guards and then there are other aspects for instance more controls against radical mosques of hate preachers of the training of france for instance wants to prohibit the import of preachers muslim preachers from foreign countries it is a long list. of deregulation is also on there it's a long list of things they need and they want to do but they've been talking about this for years and it's a question of implementation and what about the security online i mean is there talk of target controls of the internet. absolutely that is one of the main aspects because all the experts say the younger attackers the young radicalized muslims

they are mostly sort of through the internet not so much through personal contacts anymore as through preachers in mosques so controlled one will be there the european union commission has made a proposal and it puts the onus on on the on the networks on the they say that they have to put controls in place as soon as a notice comes up that there is hate speech or calls for murder or impending attacks they have to take this content down and they have to take much more swiftly so that is the main thing and then there is also called by some security forces to limit encrypt messenger services no there will not be agreement on that and the government's stepping much more careful because they know that too much frustration of civil liberties for their citizens would just not just not go down well so they're finding it difficult find and they need to find

a delicate balance between restrictions and of course guarding european democracy seas and it's in the civil liberties. in brussels tonight barbara is always thank you france has seen 3 separate times since the tire magazine charlie do decided to republish cartoons mocking the muslim prophet muhammad in one of those attacks the high school teacher some real party was beheaded for showing those cartoons in a class on free speech the recent violence has results about france's ability to instill its ideals in some of its uses. 5 years lie between these pictures. as such heracles magazine a teacher. both are tragic symbols for freedom of expression in france the

reactions to the tragedies are similar protests minutes of silence speeches from the president the will to show a nation united. but is it still possible to speak one's mind openly in france or has islamic extremism muzzled free speech. and for absolutely titian's must act quickly otherwise there will be dramatic consequences not in years to come but in the coming months of all these i mean we don't even like young. patrick tell you it was a writer for charlie hebdo for 7 years he perceives the spiral of violence as predictable fuelled by political failures he says the right to freedom of expression should have been better defended in france. liberty equality and fraternity the national motto of post revolution france but some say the separation of church and state is shrinking causing

a division in society and affecting the youth in particular. according to some surveys 75 percent of young french muslims consider the laws of the qur'an more important than those of the french state. schools are often left with the task of conveying french values it's up to people like this history teacher to instruct students about freedom of opinion and secularism he says the brutal act against a fellow teacher did not surprise him. nor the possible force on the film you know in france there isn't really freedom of speech anymore because students seem to find some topics too shocking to discuss we notice how much it's almost a question of identity for them they have a muslim identity that can clash with their french identity and they grew up in families where everything revolves around religion but then they come to school where other ideas exist. and the french muslims how are

they dealing with terror and the image of violence that is increasingly associated with their religion. you could imagine mahmoud you the moderate muslims are in the majority and they must wake up in the name of humanity under our law your god whom these criminal murderers are trying to claim just for themselves. this is a cycling you know you point out. is one of the strongest muslim voices against radical islam in france the end mom made a public apology for the killing of school teacher some well patty but his calls for harmony couldn't danger him before a prayer ceremony he received a death threat and is under constant police protection. the same for patrick. the price for freedom of speech but teachers who share france's values with children every day don't have extra protections and the country must now grapple

with the question of how to provide safety for everyone under the motto of liberty equality and fraternity. our let's look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world on a busy day of international diplomacy the german chancellor and the french president both spoke to joe biden for the 1st time in his capacity as u.s. president elect british prime minister boris johnson also congratulated mr biden and invited him to next year's climate summit in glasgow business executive money will murder you know has been sworn in as the interim president of peru a day after his predecessor was ousted by congress over corruption allegations the speed of ex leader martin discards dismissal has raised concerns about the stability of peru's democracy. russia has begun to the point troops to the disputed territory of nagorno-karabakh to enforce a cease fire between eyes are by john and armenia the 2 former soviet republics

have agreed to stop fighting after more than a month of bloodshed at least a 1000 people have been killed since this longstanding conflict broke out again back in september. i'm a peace deal signed but this was the reaction in armenia. 'd protesters storming the parliament building in get a demanding prime minister nicole resign of the several government offices were ransacked and the local media report the parliamentary speaker was attacked and beaten. amsa to the prime minister pushing the uncalled for calm and said it hadn't been easy to agree a deal it's i sort of. kid the decision has been taken as

the result of analysis of the military situation and based on the assessments of the people who are the most familiar with the military situation is one of those. during 6 weeks of fighting azerbaijani forces made steady inroads into go knock out a buck and on sunday officials said they'd taken the key city of shusha new going to cut it back has been meaning in hand since it won the war with azerbaijan in 1994 most of the people who live there ethnic maney and but on the international law it is part of azerbaijan both countries were once part of the soviet union and russia still wields huge influence in the region moscow helps negotiate the deal and is already sending peacekeepers to the area. i said it but the republics of azerbaijan and armenia are to stop at the positions they have taken peacekeeping forces of russia are being set up along the line of contact in the corner car back

and along the corridor connecting with the republic of armenia. in baku the capital of us about john the deal was hailed as a victory. that amazon now kind of buck is liberated a nation is liberated thank you for today god bless you will i 70 words in my house that i don't know what to say. 3 cease fires in the going to have failed since fighting erupted in september many he hoped to steal will finally bring peace to a troubled region. well here in germany and around the world there's been a cautious welcome to news that a back scene could help spell the end of the pandemic the german drug maker buying on tech in the u.s. pharmaceutical giant pfizer say trials show their vaccine is more than 90 percent

effective at preventing covert 19 with some reservations many people say they want these vaccinations to begin as soon as possible when human trials of b n t 160 began earlier this year no one knew if they would lead to a coronavirus vaccine the reports that this substance is in fact highly effective have brought new hope. germany's research minister is cautiously optimistic has been there for him with an untold i'm very pleased with naturally encouraged by this beginning and hopefully we will not have any setbacks with vaccines you are never sure about that but these positive initial reports give us a lot of hope. to list there from the german government has put more than 350000000 euros into this research over 40000 people have received doses of the maxin at the same time the approval procedure has been speeded up could that mean the drug is unsafe. death movie oughtn't to say that we have not lowered our

standards at all people can be sure if this drug is approved that will be according to the usual standard we're used to here in germany the surveys suggest 2 thirds of germans are ready to be vaccinated that's enough to get covert under control but not everyone is yet convinced it will work. if not if not i'll wait and see but i'm not a risk patient they should vaccinate those who need it 1st and then i'll get it if there's any left. what happened to of course i've tested it on people who are relatively young and healthy how will it affect older people as with health problems i'm not shown yeah sure i think i would yeah but. i mean it can also grow into something else it might not even work. the vaccine. production has already begun in expectation that the new vaccine will get full

approval the european union says it will order up to 300000000 doses we have many countries back in lockdown measures there's an urgency to have a means to beat the pandemic see it as the same as the one that will be an initial vaccine in the 1st few months of 2021 gives me confidence it's encouraging it's a light at the end of the tunnel this is least i'm in the destroy notes for most people the new vaccine can't come soon enough. and for more tonight i'm joined by going to the deputy director of the institute of g. at the sheraton a hospital here in berlin it's good to have you on the program let me ask you we know that this vaccine is going to be 2 injections and we still don't know exactly how long the immunity would last what do you know about that tonight. first of all i would say as expressed in the trade

that this vaccine is the silver lining on the horizon it's a positive signal and it's very encouraging. after all it's a yeah secure of safe vaccine because no side effects test been reported so far and it tests about 90 percent if the according to the press released so it's also the 1st directing of its kind that has been chen aerated and it after all it's you very very very good thing that science is able to chinnery those facts in such a shock period of time but they are still open questions they are caveats and as you already alluded to we don't know the immunity how long it lasts because we don't have the scientific data yet it's

only a press release more preliminary salts and is therefore you have to wait until the study of the face 3 try it's finished and that's the open question open questions and not a lot of time that we know that it usually takes 7 to 10 years to develop a vaccine and bring it to market with this vaccine we're talking about concentrating that into the span of basically a year is that dangerous for people considering we don't know the long term effects of the banksy. i don't think at the moment i mean around 40000 persons have been vaccinated and only minor side effects have been observed like little swelling redness and a little bit fever but no c.v. a side effect of course one has to have an eye on it to in the years to come if

they are rare sight if it sets always the case with every vet seeing but so far i'm pretty sure that this effect seeing as safe but the important thing is that the unity at the moment that is introduced it's not cell clear for sure it will protect us from corporate 19 and lots to a large extent but it's unclear what the if you can see is unique individual age group especially it would be important to know whether the risk groups means older people people with chronic decease like diabetes obesity a cut of us killer disease or retore programs if those. protected and they are known to react not very effective to the scenes in general mr going to shine which deputy director of the institute of iraq at the sharjah here in berlin

mr from which we appreciate your time in your insights tonight thank you so precious. social media platforms are trying to speed up and improve their fact checking of online dissin from ational that's included flagging or hiding pose from u.s. president all will trump twitter and facebook they are clamping down and that is good news for alternative apps one of them is parlor which calls itself a free speech alternative to the bigger platforms from supporters have been flocking to it making it the most downloaded app in the united states in recent days all right my colleague knows you to be reporter. joins me now so tell me about this sudden boom in popularity for parlor so we've seen a massive surge in the last week since election day more than 1000000 downloads in the u.s. it's reached number one on the whole and on google play the platform has been

around for a while it's been a favorite among conservatives the far right and trump supporters and it has some big personalities some big names on the texas senator ted cruz has 2600000 followers on the fox news host sean hannity is on there if you look at it here on the screen it looks pretty much like your news feed on or on facebook this is an account that we set up just today so this is before any algorithms have started you know doing their magic and you can already see here that the content that you just get fed automatically is there's a lot of conservative. content on there what is really behind this search is the crackdown on trump from the other platforms from twitter from facebook you know they've been hiding tweets they've been adding disclaimers to them so a lot of pundits lot of conservative pundits have have urged people to switch from twitter to do we know who is behind the party so the c.e.o. and co-founder his name is john mates he is a conservative he's

a member of the republican party there are the conservative pundits behind the. poller accuses twitter and facebook of ideological suppression and lack of transparency and john mates says that whereas the other platforms act like publishes in what he says is censorship they. act like a town square where people can say what they want but what about donald trump i mean he is known as the twitterer in chief but he's not on parlor yet izzie is not people in his inner circle. his son is on there his attorney rudy giuliani is and there is a trump campaign poller account and we might see him this soon though twitter might be cracking down further on donald trump soon there is a policy at twitter that they won't ban or delete anyone who is

a political person or a world leader they said that will that will still political discussion bots come january 20th joe biden takes over at the white house don't trump is no longer protected by that and twitter also has you know they have policies banning misinformation so they're just being steve bannon for his right right so he's no longer protected we might see him switching to power as well there is a point watch for january but we're going to try to see what happens that's true although as always thank you. the long time palestinian chief negotiator. has died of covert 19 he was 65 for nearly 30 years he championed palestinian statehood in the 2 state solution to the conflict with israel. he was known and respected around the world sabah eric hat at the heart of middle

east peace negotiations for almost 3 decades. but never wavering from what he saw was the only way to end the israeli palestinian conflict a 2 state solution we need peace and peace can only be achieved in accordance with the formula that solution eric cat was a loyal aide to palestinian leaders including yasser arafat he spent most of his life in the occupied west bank in must in the daily realities of the arab israeli conflict. but at times he was treated like a hero by his own this is the with the right wing israeli leader binyamin netanyahu apparently destroying hopes of palestinian statehood eric katz and others in his fatah party became increasingly unpopular at home. he didn't hide his
