and restrict theirir freedom of movement. the country's national security alert system also overhauled to three levels it's currently at level two heightened security risk of attatack. since two thousand and fifteen there have been seventeen attacks classified as acts of terror including the best d. day massacre in me since two thousand and sixteen when a man drove a truck into a crowd gathered to watchh fire works. as well as the shooting at a christmas market in strasbourg in two thousand and eighteen and the stabbings at paris police headquarters last year. since the loss of the islamic state group's territory analysts say itsts ability to rect large scale operations has diminished but its ideology is still easily available online to encourage self radicalisation. using what's called feast as piles the government tracks those believed to be a national security threat there are around twenty six thousand such files of which just under

eighteen thousand are believed to be religiouss extremistss according to the interior ministry. these individuals that terrorism experts believe now pose the greatest. thrhreat to public safety. . there's no sign the corona viruses easing here inn frarance fifteen thousd new cases were reportedd in the last twenty four hours after a daily record of sixteen thousand thursday. in the southern city of marseille hundreds of people rallied friday against tough new measures to curb cases of the cocorona virus this weekend all bars and restaurants have to close down for at least two weeks. press twenty fours valerie dembski joins us now from marseille valerie those closures were supposed to happen on saturday but we're hearing now it will be sunday what led to the change. that's cocoect the closure of barsrs ad staurantss heree in marseille has been postponed to sunday nightt sunday midnight that means that restaurants and bars

will have to close t their doors to the public. at midnight as opposed to a saturday and this after a meeting between a french health minister who did it all and other local leaders. he was visiting he was one of an official visit to the city of in the city of massena bid to. appeasee the growing tensions here. now this this may seem just like a small victory for a local leadeders as just another an extra day before barss and restaurants have to shut down. but that meet up with it t is a small victoryy but it for the peoplee who had been advocating for the total of the overturn of this measure- it's still significant the president of the region of the massey region who had initially said. he would be filing a legal injunction to have this measure overturned well now he's saying that significant progress has been made what why exactly why has there been so much progress

well he says that initially authorities would have to wait for. another fifteen days- for the forties to decide if they would have to extend the closure of bars and restaurants will now t that has gone down to seven days only the all the health minister has said that. they would have to wait only seven days to decide to review the situation again and- and decide if they have to close bars for another fifteen days another may your- said well they just wanted to be part of the nenegotiating table. you may remember t tt they had responded with fury over this new measure because they say they had not been called son to consult it before hand will now they say we are part of the negotiating table it's not a lot but it's what we have achieved. that and at least it's something. of course we've seen pro. there in recent days i'm can you tell us w why people are so angry partiticularly- restaurant owners. right well

there's a variety of reasons why t the restaurant owners are still angry in math say but one of the reasons is that wilill be feelel t that this measure is unjustified they feel that they have been singled out by. the government by the french government and paris- and there's also the sense that this is a this measure is counterproductive- they say if the virus will not go away magically just because you shut down restaurants and bars a young people in particular will still. be going out there will still be meeting with their friends and if they don't meet in bars and restaurants will they'll they'll read elsewhere. perhaps and parts and other places and there's also you know a sense that- this could have devastating consequences for the economy t they're v very much worried about their future and how this could have a finite financial impact- for their business as- our- there despite. you know relatively- profitable summer season-

restaurant owners say that- this has not been enough and this will not be enough for them to compensate for the losses. they lost more than eighty nine billion euros in revenue adjuster around the massey areas are really you can understand why. anger is still so probably here in math say that some people have even said. that they will defy the measure and that they will still open their restaurant in their businesses despite the restrictions the deputy mayor of marseille has also said that shee will ask local police. not to find any restaurant owners who will remain open despite the restrictions. okay france twenty four is valerie decamp reporting from marseille thank you so much. it's a huge financial blow to the organizers of the frenchh open the e tourniquets under way on sunday and theherench prime minister i is said thehe numberf spectators will be limited t to one e thousand per day noo thats

tune in next week for a new edition of running for the white house. this time now to catch up on what happened today online a and joining us now is emerald maxwell. i know that in two thousand fifteen there was the swell of support after that attack juice we surely was the hash tag are we seeing anything at all similar. in response to this attack we are actually- with we saw today- paris hilton's trending on twitter that's the district which was targeted today as wewell as in twenty fifteen- because of course the- this is your values young newspaper says. it's this it's a neighborhood already scarred it was- the it's the location for the former h. q. of shania do. as well as the production company panera lenient which is where the two injured victims- from the ones who were attacked today. at lots of locals from pet value means- we're tweeting messages of. support and also does may

out what happened today this young lady says it's this is my neighborhood and i feel sick at what happened. what happened as if that weren't enough problems in this crazy world right now. this other treaties rose to its most expressing solidarity and- support for the victims i am on this day and that brings back so many painful memories for people. t taking up residence- hit this man is arrested two photos of the same streets five years apart he says. nothing has changed- i she doesn't quite true yes it sort of seems to be history repeating itself bubut obviously. it's not five years ago was far more devastating with anthologies luckily today that.t. well fingngers crossed but they look like they are on the mendnd the two people who were injured- and- we don't know if the attacker was actually targeting. charlie had days office- it's true that that it's often prove costs on the front three of his overall costs in the news so he could waffle that charlie had there was still that. but this twitter user says well he was

foolish enough to go to that and you know he seems up that's what he was. that's. what he was getting but unfortunately did manage to hit t. channel. on so lots of. is from media organ. like the president of france. you who office on can. support and says posted and will alwayays be on the side of freedom of expression. charlie had does newsroom.o you has also come out- with a message of support and it was the id not today's tragic events. should only make us more determined than ever t to defend all values. lots of people have been sharon the fronts. page of shania do. the controversial cartoon of prophet muhammad's that attackers gave is the motive in twenty fifteen as a sort of message. of solidarity- this cartoons rather poignant cartoon by- david hope- from dave pope sorry from twenty fifteen was also shot again. we.

see the package saying he too fast. i need to go of paris mea deployed attack saying though this hot through this highly symbolic place it's once again freedom of expressision that is targeted. at the french prime minister jacques aspects will say said that once the- that france was determined to- press to commit to press freedom. and fight terrorism- the attttack that is already being politicized mind a pen from the far right france's far right for instance suggesting this could have been avoided. if france had a strict immigration policy. some people online assuring the concerns that this could attack could start up more anti immigration and even anti muslim. sentiments this call to you know actually it makes the point that this sort of. racism is often correct in terms of the old secularism debate in france again in in the kartini cmu's rita also has two sociologists guess what

they think is happening in france today. one of the monsters i think we have a problem with secularism and the other says i think we have a problem with arabs. and then catches himself and says whoops i mean secularism. so this is the result there are some fans beings that- start off that this could- open the floodgates the sorts of sentiments. so there's a lot of emotion online but have we seen this sort of moved to a political discussion already sounds like it has that story to a local discussion- a political display took a session is absolutely i was i said as i said so- we have money in the pan. f from the far right already saying blaming france's immigration policies for at the fact that well we don't know for sure the identity of the attacker wouould hasn't been confirmed but there has been reports that he is a- a an an immigrant from. pakistan and if that's true then it's obviously given ammunition to the right and ththat so plenty of. people on the right- in the were on the

right in france already using this. okay a amil maxwell thank you so much for that- and we'll be back in just a few minutes with all the world headlineses. here on france twenty four
