it expressed regret over the incident and stressed its own position to all forms of discrimination we were joined in the program by political commentator nicole america and french lawyer hosni monte who gave us their thoughts on the rights of the owners to choose their guests think there's a problem with part of the form committee usa in the large sense today in france which has got a bad image and some people would rather not rent than rent to people who got this bad image and particularly within the north african community music giving some are jews who are racist people who don't want to see enough african post in their house and a lot of people will be people coming from north africa crime to incivility to terrorism and unfortunately these are some of the reasons why we speak a lot of the north african community today i don't agree with the thing that we can sum up the reality of people acting. having delinquent behavior
2:31 pm
just by giving these people but these have nothing to do this has nothing to do to explain the behavior again i'm not saying the end tire north african community so a lot of this is a suggestion that i work with interest and they're not he's let me answer i'm to i'm just telling you there is a problem which has to be settled i have no people from the north african community who are ashamed of what other people in their community doing and you can see this unfortunate on a daily basis imagine the french person who has no contacts with the north african community who read the press on a daily basis and we read people who have been committing crimes who have been terror who are terrorists who are advocating death to france which i think he tried and every time to read this unfortunately again i'm the first to say unfortunately unfortunately see that they're often associated with the name from north africa now if there are people who are considering that the route the original behavior the. show or the faith on their own faith is. good.
2:32 pm
to discriminate they are wrong on their own not respecting the law this is what we have to remind in. the states which is the state of low. let's turn our attention to the u.s. state of louisiana where for pipeline activists on the journalists have been arrested and charged on very controversial new law they remaining activists say they're not facing increased police repression including the use of tasers because the pipeline at the center of the story.
2:33 pm
well the new law took effect on august the first then lists pipelines as critical infrastructure which makes trespassing on the ground that they're built illegal those dissipating at risk a hefty fine or as long as five years behind bars activists say about a number of the state police officers were also working for a private security firm to protect the construction sites they're no longer working in that capacity activist ted hall believes the new law goes against america's core
2:34 pm
principles. really think it in the right word audacity as well as the desperation because companies as well as these legislatures in trying to hide how pathetically an american this kind of a lot is this privatization unconstitutional actions that have not been held up in the supreme court and clearly don't measure up to the law of the land the constitution this needs to be understood as something that should be contained it is so that it doesn't spread throughout the united states and so it does not spread throughout the rest of the world well ted hole the activists you just heard from there also took part in the dakota pipeline protest no doubt project faced opposition over fears not drinking water would be polluted indian heritage sites destroyed. on
2:35 pm
numerous occasions the protests there are turned violence with state law enforcers as well as the national gauging in standoffs with the activists officers use force to disperse crowds even watertown and those were in freezing temperatures hundreds of people were injured some seriously police defended their actions seeing the activists were trespassing and rioting describing them as very aggressive here's ted hall again with his team i'm not. sure i believe that any kind of perceived by influence if that would ever occur would need to be under incredible scrutiny because it's doubtful that seasoned advocates for farmers rights advocates for landowner rights advocates for. seeing the climate future are going to resort to that kind of to set it in a civilized approach. after the break we hear from a forty six year old former nurse of carnaby in origin who's been living in the
2:36 pm
u.k. since childhood and has no faces deportation. live . to see the spurs live. the future of our love say the collapse when the soviet union collapsed because of the us meddling in boris yeltsin and all that's going on they had this skyrocketing alcoholism and so shoulder. here in the us because you have this enormous financial and reengineering to take all the money being printed and put in the pockets of a few folks and leave the vast majority in
2:37 pm
a state of zombification this is the collapse gap he was talking about the u.s. and the soviet union both collapsed in the one thousand nine hundred ninety period it just took a stake in the us as she describes it you no longer to realize that collapse. you're back with r t international washington has hinted it could hit turkey with sanctions over its the citizen to buy a russian made earth defense system the us has also warned against other nato allies helping similar ideas you know when it goes against our policy to have a nato ally such as turkey use an ass four hundred system part of the problem with that is that it is not in iraq robel with other nato systems and so we are against
2:38 pm
the having some of our partners and allies around the world potentially purchase us for hundreds it would trigger cancerous action i'm not going to get into that but we have made very clear what could trigger sanctions for other countries and entities around the world just to go through that weapon the russian made s. four hundred missile system is capable of hitting multiple high speed aerial targets within a range of four hundred kilometers the deal signed by turkey in russia last year is worth two point five billion dollars the first systems will be delivered next year i'm grasping looking to bolster its or defenses since the u.s. withdrew its patriot missiles from the syrian border region back in twenty fifteen . russia has a longtime military trade partners from all across the world as the head of the state arms exporter told us this should be just that arm of the of the s four hundred is the most advanced missile defense system in the world countries are
2:39 pm
already lining up to purchase it we have gained a firm food hold in the arms sales market to arab countries there is a traditional partnership with india and china our allies in the collective security organization also work with military industries on more than eyes and. a former u.s. diplomat jim jefferies told us washington is angry over un chris purchase of b s four hundred systems because it undermines u.s. attempts to damage russia the people behind these policies do not look at russia as a partner at all they look at it as an adversary and that their goal is essentially regime change in russia buying russian weapons is not bad because they are a competitor for business they're bad because there is essentially a full scale political warfare being carried on against the russian federation by the agencies of the american government i don't know that this is nationally what
2:40 pm
president truck wants but it certainly wanted hartman of state department of treasury and other organs of the government want and the purchase of russian weapons is bad because russia is bad i think that not only with regard to arms purchases but every other excuse we can think of we will find ways to put new sanctions on russia or countries and companies that deal with russia. a former nurse who's lived in britain since she was a baby faces deportation sharyn the tellus who was originally born in the caribbean and whose father served in the euro forces one of hundreds in the so named windrush scandal a government policy which wrongly targeted commonwealth citizens immigration status charan's been telling our story to our team. i had to stop working i lost my job i was a registered nurse i went into financial difficulties i lost my dad in twenty two or my brother to suicide i ended up stealing monies from patients and.
2:41 pm

2:44 pm
francisco. city known for its brave use and stunning landscape is apparently a warship in human waste the problem is god's specialty are being deployed to clean the place up. it's the worst you've seen and i will say that there is more there's more. on the sidewalks and i've ever seen you know growing up here that was something that did not wasn't the norm but the worst thing that i've ever seen for sure. san francisco is because city where you need a three hundred fifty thousand dollar income to afford a median price in a city that has just announced who patrol the streets instead of telling people to use a bathroom san francisco is going to send a. troll to pick. a six person crew that goes around the suited to
2:45 pm
cleanup how much would you have to make to do this job. nobody wants to step in feces i have children i don't want to do that either i don't like finding use needles but there are approaches in the city is trying but we actually need some federal help in this case in my opinion. you're going to get your hands dirty if you can do with caution. is a feminist religion denmark's first female i think so and she's talking to sophie shevardnadze say next.
2:46 pm
p.j.'s national camera. roughly once the showed so much pain for them. to joan cool videos and so mom with the broccoli string up after. falling down more on string i don't rightly don't t.v. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it's meaningless in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we more executing innocent people is terrifying those just know it hasn't been that we're even many of victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished recently at the capitol here is because
2:47 pm
that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. welcome to the m.k. on sophie shevardnadze islam in europe has long been viewed with suspicion by the majority accused of not representing european values is that really true and can it
2:48 pm
be changed well i asked shereen han khan denmark's first female. is that when europe is a magnet for controversy used by the right wing to start fear of feared by the people in the wake of their attacks and the refugee crisis. inside the muslim community resisting integration mistrust come to vicious circle of phobia and hatred. is there a way to measure europe's ultimate liberalism and the ancient traditions of islam and how for me is the past. denmark's first female in mom welcome it's really great to have you with us i'm very excited to ask you all the questions that i want now you call yourself an islamic center and it's being denmark's first female among do using a woman could ever lead a mixed mosque in prayer in islam not just female only and would you like that to
2:49 pm
happen actually i had the vision of a mosque with female humam so many years ago back in one thousand nine hundred nine i was inspired when i did my thesis in syria and surface i'm an islamic activists and and back then i was my admission to a mosque with female in moms leading the prayer actually for both men and women because i always pray together men and women so it's very natural to me i was always. i was always working against the segregation within different sphere. yes so when i started the mosque we recruited it. other people for our team for the group and like any group like any community you have to vote and it's a democracy and the majority of the committee they voted for a women's mosque only so i had to accept that and i think now when i look back on the really happy about the decision because i realize that having
2:50 pm
a mosque with women or female in my sleep the prayer for only women it's not controversial at all so we're actually able to do other revolutions that i consider more important but do you feel like when you pray it's about but do you feel like your vision of having a mixed mixed mosque could ever come true is this something would want to see in the future it is already happening because we have the first mosque in scandinavia with female moms but there there are mosques all over the world in china since the eighteen twenty in the u.s. and canada and germany and especially in germany and canada and us there are mosques with mixed prayer so it's already happening many places in the world i do hope that in the future we could have a mosque with both male and female you moms and and i hope that in the future we could have mixed prayer also because we have so many young men who tells us that we
2:51 pm
would also like to come to the money a mosque and to pray with you and we would like to come as a family without children and so i think it will happen maybe in the future but right now i'm quite happy about a women's mosque so islamic states extreme take on islam still attracted a lot of women to go and volunteer and join its costs you as a female spiritual leader how do you explain that why would people why would women volunteer to be so horribly oppressed. by isis i mean i think that people tend to become radicalized or at track to to read to collide communities because they don't feel a part of the existing communities that they live in often if you don't feel a part of the existing community i mean you have nothing to lose and you try to seek other communities where you feel at home and where you feel that you are meditated so unfortunately these communities that are very extreme and the try
2:52 pm
to i mean they sometimes you know they they focus on all these political issues of today and they use all these political tensions in order to recruit very vulnerable young people who maybe do not feel at home in their existing european communities or where they might live and that's why it's so crucial that that we try to include our minorities in the existing countries in order for everybody to feel at home and to feel a part of the community that you believe that the koran at its basics considers man and woman equal so all they have to arkell oppressive parts of traditional islamic societies where do they come from if not religion i mean in the koran there are one hundred fourteen chapters and more than six thousand six hundred verses and there are six more says that could be interpreted as discriminatory against women but
2:53 pm
they could also be interpreted over differently with a focus on women's rights and gender equality and that's actually what we're trying to do in the area mosque we try. these verses in order to create gender equality so and this is actually happening all over the world we have a male and the end male and female scholars who try to rewrite the koran in our times in our societies. within islam we have a patriarchal structure within religious institutions and that patriarchal structure of course it has affected the interpretation of the koran so this is also what we would like to challenge these pay trickle structures patriarchal readings of the koran and and i think that female you moms has something to contribute in that context because we have a specific focus on gender equality and we are in need of that so you're not
2:54 pm
wearing a he job shoot i had or face cover be a choice and this is a sign of oppression what do you think of course if i mean we are born free we are born free so of course every single human should choose for themselves how they want to live their life and muslim women have different interpretation of what it means to be a modest woman this is my interpretation of modesty to me the scarf is a metaphor for sincerity towards god and sincerity in the relationships that you find yourself in it could be a friendship or a marriage or whatever so but i also respect women who choose the way that he job and as a part of the islamic identity we have to accept and respect that women have these different interpretation of what it means to be a modest woman in the koran there are two verses come searching the scarf and
2:55 pm
concerning the covering one of the verses is specifically. related to the wife of the prophet and the other verse is more universal. like you said he jap to burka it's all based in their requirements to be modest for women in islam didn't she is he that as another the of the pattern arky that you are resisting like and woman has to sing about how a man sees her and worry whether she is judged modest or not by a man. that's not my interpretation of modesty i use the term more in the sense of the. in the sense that you choose how you want to present yourself in the sense of a more spiritual sincerity so i have the same respect for a woman who was wearing a ministers and a woman who is fully covered i mean it's up to any woman to choose how she wants to dress and how she feels comfortable and i mean it's stated clearly in that they can
2:56 pm
ration of human rights that any human being has the right to practice his or her religion in the private sphere and in the public sphere so i mean we cannot we cannot decide that women should not wear the hijab i mean it's a human right it's freedom of religion and freedom of religion is is just as important as freedom of speech so as not of course what happens in iraq what happens in iran where women are forced to wear the scarf of course i condemn that and i fight fight against that and i wouldn't i also condemn anyone we are i can damn whatever is going on in europe right now where were countries are trying to. fool he jobs on women in the streets. i mean if a woman if a woman chooses to wear the he or the board it's her own individual decision and we shouldn't i mean fights against that we have to support the i mean any person's
2:57 pm
right to practice his or her religion i mean we signed the contract was signed the declaration of human rights so it's actually stated that every keeley that this is a possibility so i will fight for any woman's right to wear the hijab and not to whether he. knows the station you're quite an interesting mix of absolute european democrat and a spiritual leader in islam. when you try to fight islamophobia and open up your religion open up islam from a different angle how do your fellow believers see you i mean do you think you are a true muslim in their eyes and the must live of the clerics from egypt or iraq or maybe don't even care what they think actually i do not seek the recognitions of of other people i seek the recognition of. but of course it means something to me
2:58 pm
what people think. actually we had a visitor it's it was the granny mom from the third largest mosques in the indonesia in jakarta it's called a mosque the granny mom he has two hundred thousand muslim this it says every friday for his friday prayer he came to the mahdi a mosque in copenhagen he prayed in a mosque and he blessed our mosque and he blessed the concept of female in mum's and he even quoted a one of my favorite inspirational sources which is it been out of be here from eleven sixty five until twelve forty and he said the perfect man is a woman so we have muslim spiritual great leaders who support the mosque and of course we also met by a position because when you when you change a patriarchal structure you change the power balance and people will become upset it's natural so in your new reality in your everyday reality what is harder dealing
2:59 pm
with a national islam of right wingers or religious islamist fanatics. i think both i mean they're very similar they're similar on both sides both sides they tend to generalize they are manipulating guy i caught some peace between them and us between being a muslim and being a secure a list we've seen muslims and jews and muslims and and christians and all of these manipulate that that cuts amaze you will find it on both sides and this is actually what i try to fight against or what we try to fight against what challenge we try to deconstruct all of these manipulated by cuts and nice showing the world that islam is a religion and it's a peaceful religion and it's possible to be a practicing muslim to believe that the koran is the word of god and at the same time via a member of secular societies it is possible all right sure and we're going to take a short break right now while we're back we'll continue talking about cher rain hunt con denmark's first female a mom discussing her fight against islam also be out in europe stay with us.
