james wilson reports. reporter: the basilica of notre dame is now a place of morning. all day, people have come to light candles and leave tribute to those who died on thursday. among the victims was a 44-year-old woman originally from brazil. she had lived in france for around three decades and is pictured here taking cooking lessons in 2018. it had long been her dream to open her own restaurant. she was also a loving mother of three and her best friend says it was her positivity that stands out.

after she was stabbed in the basilica, she staggered into this nearby restaurant and it was here that she passed away. another victim was a man of great faith and involved in his local community. [speaking french] the third victim was a 60-year-old woman who had come into the church to pray. anchor: staying with this story, france is ramping up security, calling on thousands of police officers on reserve to help secure schools and religious sites across the country. those measures were announced this friday by the french interior minister. >> to defense counsel has decided to increase our vigilance measures. 3500 reservists will be recalled and be at the disposal of local

authorities for monday and also, already 500 extra policemen will be at the disposal of local authorities who will be able to use them to protect targets we have identified. anchor: let's get some analysis on thursdays events in the french city of nice. our guest is the author of a book entitled the 10 attacks that have change the world -- understanding terrorism in the 21st century. thank you for speaking to france 24 this evening. this attack, the third in less than two months french authorities have attributed to extremists. it is grim to say but it looks like these attacks are set to continue. your thoughts on that? guest: yes. unfortunately, the wave of terrorist attacks that have taken place in france since late

summer will probably continue because france has become the ideal, if i may say so, target of all the fanatics here in europe that also abroad, in the middle east and everywhere in the world because france has become the embodiment of the fight for freedom of speech, freedom of religion, of non-religion as well and the separation between the state and the churches. anchor: i want to talk about the political response. you will have seen growing protests around the world, particularly critical of france and emmanuel macron. he has addressed, some saying not expressing unity enough. emmanuel macron in the past has been praised for good communication. do you think this time around he

missed a step? guest: yes, probably. but every government in france has missed the same step,f i may say so. racism and secularism are in a large part of the world seen as an aggressive principal against islam, which is totally the opposite. i think it is a misunderstanding of what that principle means, which is the separation between all the churches on one hand and the state, the public administration on the other one. this is a condition in the french framework of the coexistence, the peaceful coexistence of all and that is why we, the french, missed probably something. we have to reexplain in detail what it is, what it is not, and

the satirical cartoons and every othe princip lind to secularism is not targeted at such and such but is the condition for peaceful coexistence of all on the national territory. anchor: you raise an interesting point about this particular relationship or lower in france about secularism. outside of france, it is not a concept that is understood. certainly english-speaking countries don't know what this means. the question i suppose we should ask is is france alone in this fight for secularism? guest: no. and that is why a france is not the only target of all the religious fanatics. ndon, madrid, stockholm, r's

alone i have been targeted by the same fanatics. because secularism is not french. but the division within t state and church within the framework of american politics or british politics is more or less the same. after all, churchill, for the building of the american constitution is a stall on the same principle, which is religions are not to interfere with legislation, with the functioning of the public administration because all of the systems, whatever their beliefs are are to be treated on the same level and treated the same way. that is why the conception of secularism has a history of national roots, of course, but

at the core of its notion, it's the same as the separation of church and state in america, the united kingdom, and everywhere in western europe. anchor: we have heard a lot of concerns about radicalization taking place on french soil. if we think of the alleged attacker on thursday, he arrived in france and just sit timber, he had obviously gone through the italian island and surely that speaks to how global this issue is. guest: yes, it is global, but it is national and it is local. we all have in mind the murders perpetrated in last week's by foreigners in france. we have two bear in mind in many, many cases, terrorist attacks are carried out by nationals. it has been the case in london,

it has been the case in paris in 2015, it has been the case in brussels, by belgian system sins as well. the control on migration is one question and the fight against terrorism and organized crime is a different question and needs to be treated that way. of course,riminals go tough and it doesn't mean the borders have to be closed to reduce the question of terror. if foreigners are terrorists come it doesn't mean nationals are terrorists and cannot carry out heinous crimes. anchor: just a final question before we go. in the wake of these attacks, many have denounced the killings and have also warned about stigmatization.

how do we avoid stigmatizing certain groups in this kind of climate in france we are facing currently? guest: we, as french, that national community have to remind them of the fact that they belong to the national community and they can be the target of such fanatics because if they don't follow them, if they don't follow their paths, they will be the next victims of that political violence. in the eyes of a fanatic, no one can be as pure as he or she is and i think we have to remind them they are part of the community and they don't have to be afraid of us. anchor: on that note, that is all we've got time for. the author of "10 attacks that

changed the world." thank you for your time tonight. time now to change the pace. let's get you some business news with catherine bennett. there is an economic rebound in the eurozone in the third quarter of this year. what does that mean in terms of recovery? catherine: although this is the fastest rate of expansion since records began in 1995, the record is almost meaningless because of the current contest. -- current context. the eurozone saw a jump of 7% compared to the previous three months. gdp was still 4.3% smaller than before the pandemic. so we have not recouped the loss caused by coronavirus. these numbers refer to the summer when many restrictions had relaxed and consumers were traveling and spending money, but this fresh rate of

restrictions could call the region back into contraction in the final quarter of the year. he saw similar record numbers in the u.s. but these are more an indication of how deep the economy fell this year than an indication of strong and permanent recovery. two of europe's tighe's economies go back into lockdown -- they have ueashed a raft of emergency suprt measures. france's gdp sent to -- set to contract by 10%, now expected to contract by 11%. germany says it does not expect its economy to return to pre-pandemic levels until 2022. >> the party is over at this are in berlin as a four-week partial lockdown will get underway on monday. the government has pledged to support businesses with a raft of measures worth some 10 billion euros. but the manager is skeptical.

the restrictions come in the run-up to the festive time shoppers would be buying presents. when many shops make the all caps there annual sales. anchor: let's take a look at global markets. european indices mostly lower following losses on wall street on the night. the ftse down just under the flatline and that tax dipping a third of a percent. wall street, meanwhile is wrapping up its worst week since march. stocks plunged in earlier trading led by tech shares on the nasdaq, which is now down 2.5%. investors likely spooked by record coronavirus cases in the u.s. and just days to go until the u.s. presidential election. dow jones dropped .5% and the s&p 500 dipped more than 1%.

online retailers like amazon continue to pose a threat. the company's leading e-commerce in france. the president of the trade confederation of france has urged people to wait and see if independent stores will be allowed to open before making purchases. [speaking french] reporter: amazon plus net income tripled from the same time last year with the pandemic encouraging customers to spend big online. it made 6.3 early in dollars between july and september, more than 2.8 million dollars an hour. catherine: the timing couldn't be worse. the brandenburg airport will finally open tomorrow and perhaps the date is appropriate because it is a bit of a halloween nightmare. it's opening more than a decade

behind schedule and has gone three times over budget. but that's not the biggest problem -- it's opening in the middle of a pandemic when global tourism and aviation industries are in crisis. it will have to ask for more funding to get it through the rest of the year even though a third of financing has come from german taxpayers pockets and it is starting off with huge debts to repay before one passenger has stepped foot in the terminal. anchor: on that note, with this airport -- it's a bad time. thank you for the roundup of is this. do you stay with us. we will be taking a very short rake and be back on the others with more world news headlines.
