the trial of 14 people accused of involvement in the 2015 terrorist attacks in paris gets underway 5 years after the french capital organized the big say justice is long overdue. we want to move to truth because we don't know anything we haven't had anything for the past 5 years that your own country struggle to find a common approach to travel restrictions during the pandemic is hunger you need a lot of truly slaps an entry ban on foreigners. and with the united states deeply divided ahead of the presidential election in november thousands of americans are desperate for an alternative to the 2 runners and the country's 2 party system.

midday here in moscow great to have you with us here on r.t. international. a trial relating to the 2015 paris terrorist attacks gets underway when state 14 people stand accused of involvement in the wave of terror that shook the french capital 5 years ago the attacks killed 17 people think leading 12 members of the satirical magazine though of the trial it reprinted the controversial cartoons of the prophet mohammed that made them the target of terrorists french president among your micron has backed the magazine's right to do so. you see there is in front a freedom to blasphemy me which is attached to the freedom of conscience i'm here to protect all these freedoms. could it to a new poll most french people don't see what all the fuss is. about regarding the

cartoons of the prophet mohammed almost 60 percent of those surveyed said sharlee or doe was right to run them however among french muslims it's a different picture almost 70 percent think the magazine was in the wrong on the show to do because he takes a look back at how those attacks unfolded 5 years ago. it started here back in january of 2015 when your harvests forced their way into the offices of the satirical magazine surely 12 were slaughtered days later came another strike when hostages were taken during the siege at a kosher supermarket 4 were murdered the men who carried out those horrific crimes in 2015 may long died but now 14 alleged accomplices are set to face the french justice system this trial is important not just for those who are still in deal the noise of terror attacks improves but because it focuses on those accused of being

part of a larger network that aided the her reflect on so what. it is about individuals who are involved in the logistics the preparation of the events who provided means of financing weapons all this is essential to the terrorists action. i don't want to consider them a secondary they're not secondary they're full complement you know when you provide a weapon it's not to go in party provide in a weapon to someone who is known by the police and intelligence services who has a background who is radicalized you don't give a weapon to that type of person that for some who survived is vital. because it is in some accomplices have been arrested and we want to know what they did exactly what help they provided to the terrorists we want to know what really happened even if the terrorist won't be there at the trial i hope that those who worked with them to prepare the attacks help them financially will be punished for

what they did that's the only thing we expect we want to know the truth because we don't know anything we haven't heard anything for the past 5 years these attacks herald it in a wave of terrorism of islam is violence in france wonder to seen hundreds killed in cold blood. the trial comes as france's interior minister warns the risks of terror attacks remains extremely high mr them and it is the internal threat within our rules which has become the most significant and the strongest one which mobilizes the most attention of the intelligence services here how dumb are no more than 8000

people remain on france's database of suspected islam it's radicals who are considered to be a potential security threat he said the fright must continue to be the subject of full attention pointing to the resilience of networks such as islamic state surely this is a terrible magazine his controversial cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammed provoked the initial attack releases a special edition marking the start of the trial the cover will show a montage of its most critical depictions of mohammed a move in defense of freedom of speech to one of those slain or will this only incite even more islam a strange show that devinsky r.t. paris we spoke with the former head of france's elite tactical police unit all

right he told us that the trial should have started much sooner. some calls and going this case has lasted more than 5 years even 5 and a half affecting only the accomplices not those who carried out the attack because they are alive and can testify if for example we draw parallels with the terrorist attacks in christchurch new zealand which happened a year and a half ago the process there has ended the punishment already determinant a year and a half it took there and in france 5 and a half years this is a real problem and i can't explain it or rather i can see there are reasons for this but that's not the point there is a serious problem here in france regarding the speed of the judicial system and the process for imposing criminal sentences i was ahead in the r.a. id an elite tactical unit and experienced the attack in real time these events left a horrific imprint on france and historically our memory of it needs to be preserved. and countries are struggling to come up with

a common approach to travel restrictions currently different european states using different strategies to battle the spread of coronavirus hungry for example is just unilaterally reintroduced travel restrictions on all foreigners germany which holds the presidency of the european council is convening a meeting on wednesday to address the lack of cooperation between states on to correspondent peter oliver reports. coronaviruses providing some of the biggest challenges ever seen to the european free travel area known as the shang in zone as member states cast an eye on what their neighbors are doing to stop the spread of the virus and see whether they want to close down or remain open to travel germany says there needs to be a unified response a coherent response is crucial to avoid an fragmented approach as we saw early in the year and to preserve the integrity of the schengen area will vast sounds great

but that unified response is needed because the current situation is reading rather chaotic brussels center of e.u. power capital of belgium and an absolute nightmare when it comes to travel to corona those who want to come from brussels to germany which currently holds the e.u. presidency need a negative corona test all 2 weeks of quarantine on arrival that includes all you and diplomatic staff who have quite a lot of business going on right now what with developing a united covert strategy attempting to stave off a crippling recession and break this which is still only resolved in raises more questions than answers the netherlands has pretty much the same rules france is a bit more laissez faire in its approach though belcher bans all parisians from entering denmark doesn't allow belgians in us all unless they have what's called

a worthy purpose hungry isn't singling anyone out budapest says if you're not a resident in not getting in there is a risk of bringing the disease into the country most infections originate in other countries solidarity means common success you cannot be successful together if you are not success but a successful one by all of this is being seen by home gary and prime minister victor all bands. not inconsiderable number of critics as another example of the use political and table are just not wanting to play well with others there which we underline very much is the need to replace blanket restrictions to free movement by more targeted measures which are limited in time or in geographical scope and meaning for example that you have a certain restrictions to visitors from specific areas and maybe the border closure

i don't know is just another provocation of the european union and i think mr or bunch of really really consider if he wants to be a member of the european union if you're a member of the team you play by the rules the problem is that the rules weren't drawn up with corona in mind and the virus has no regard for national boundaries governments of member states are put into a quandary whether to shut down and put freedom of movement on the back burner or to stick with one of the founding principles of the union and risk it becoming a vector of infection as we head towards an almost inevitable rise in covert cases in the autumn and winter months peter all of her r.t. . little trump has ignored calls the stay away from the violence stricken city of kenosha arriving on tuesday praise the police his visit to aggravated tensions between trump supporters and black lives matter protesters no shows the latest us hot spot rallies against racism and police brutality that after

a black man was shot several times in the back by officers last month 2 people were killed in the protests that followed the shooting of the city suffering massive damage to personal property and businesses but when asked the u.s. president said police violence is not systemic. i think the police do an incredible job. and i think you do have some bad apples i think you'd agree every once in a while you see something and you do have the other situation to. under this tremendous pressure in the they don't hear little world. well trump's main rival joe biden for his part posted a video of him and his running mate harris having a socially distance chat where they discussed trump's alleged inability to deal with the covert crisis you know you think of all the people the day who because of the negative way in which this president walked away with dealing with the covert cursus gods the way it's been responded to him are many americans are getting fed

up with their 2 party system and are looking around for alternatives or burgeoning movement is the new people's party in the tracks of thousands of americans to its virtual convention at the weekend at morgan has more. deep divisions in america and dissatisfaction with centuries of 2 party rule have forced many americans so look for alternatives on the heels of the democratic and republican conventions 8 people's convention was held a gathering of hundreds of thousands of disappointed left wingers and the people must have been this. president we don't need a. rallying cry for a new major party 20 the attendees of the people's convention feel that neither candidate really represents a choice for the working class instead they want political leaders who will stand up to wall street and the political elites long. as you.

can tell the criteria of integrity wall street was certainly delighted when joe biden was nominated as the democratic candidate perhaps this is because joe biden has admitted that not much is really going to change when speaking to his wealthy donors i mean we may not want to demonize anybody has made money no $1.00 standard of living will change nothing would fundamentally change another theme at the people's convention was the constant expansion of us wars and the expanding presence of u.s. military forces overseas as soon as i take office i will ask congress to fully eliminate the defense sequester and will submit a new budget to rebuild our military it is so to play dead we will prevail. we're going to have the strongest military we've ever had by far we're increasing arsenals of virtually every weapon we're making our military stronger and more

powerful than ever before attendees of the people's convention called for free college for all a green new deal and an end to mass incarceration they slammed joe biden for not supporting medicare for all even during the pandemic. with all due respect to medicare for all you have a single payer system in italy it doesn't work there and has nothing to do with medicare for all that would not solve the problem at all protests against systemic racism and police brutality that have in gulf the country now have both candidates throwing gasoline on the fire this president long ago forfeited a moral leadership in this country he can't stop the violence because for years he's fought management here supporters here supporters and they are your supporters indeed shut a young gentleman ho and killed him now with paint but with a bullet. and i think it's disgraceful people's convention attendees voted at the

end of their convention to form a people's party that would sweep the us elections in 2021 and hopefully take control of the white house and the us congress by 2024 3rd parties have always existed in america but they generally get marginalized and pushed aside while the 2 major parties dominate the political stage however the people's party is hoping to reverse that trend and become a new force in american politics seizing the spotlight it will mop and artsy new york comedian rum pleco says that none of the 2 main parties truly reflect the views of the majority of american voters. it's been a very very very long time since there was a new viable political party in the united states but if you kind of look at what's going on right now contemporarily now seems like the time for history to repeat itself and the bigger issue at hand here is just how far the.

pandemic has shown that we have a corporate coup for a government we have a banana republic we have a government that not only doesn't give a hoot about public opinion but works actively against it and this is by design republicans are only able to be as horrific as they are because of how ineffective democrats are similarly democrats are only able to be as ineffective as they are because of how rich republicans are. just not reflect the people who live here the largest voting bloc in the united states are people who don't vote and people who don't associate with either political party. clashes erupting palestinians and israeli soldiers in the west bank. militias in the area details on the story after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development only really

i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful it's very critical. to sit down and talk. welcome back dozens of palestinians have clashed with israeli soldiers in the west bank steps up its drive to build a new industrial zone. several people were injured during the confrontation the israeli forces have been tasked with protecting heavy equipment including bulldozers these will be used to clear the way for the new industrial zone which will be located near the city of tilcara meanwhile this year the israeli authorities have intensified demolition of homes in east jerusalem despite the covert pandemic and the ongoing economic crisis in the

area in many cases it's residents who have to demolish their own houses since the cost of destruction work is high israeli municipality in jerusalem insists that palestinians homes are only turned down if built illegally without a special permit the human rights groups say there's little real chance to obtain such a permit and locals told as they won't give up. as you can see i was forced to demolish my own home because of the fines i worked day and night to build this house and my family and then the israeli authorities surprised by calling on the 2nd day of aid telling us that the house had to come down they didn't even care about the holiday all the coronavirus situation the actions of the israeli government try to make us leave this land but no matter what but we won't go. we saw what happened with and we've seen this happen time and time again the municipality destroyed my shop income i needed to feed my family the municipality

won't allow us to build houses which forces the palestinian people to do it without a permit or. verbal abuse in brief angry parents burned face masks outside the ministry of education in fear they don't like the idea of their kids having to wear them to school and even claimed that it's harmful for children's health. firefighters battling forest fires in brazil's punter now region the worst in the world's largest tropical. for 15 years it's feared the fires will damage the region's biodiversity. artists in jakarta have painted a river on the streets of the city it took months to complete this 300 meters long and a team of 60 artists worked on it. while a protest served once again erupted in the capital of lebanon over the appointment

of the country's burl an envoy as the new prime minister the demonstrations also coincided with the french president's visit to the country and when you might run 2nd trip there since the deadly port explosion in beirut in early august. lebanese president michel own greeted marker on his residence on tuesday with an aerial display jets releasing smoke in the colors of the lebanese flag despite the warm welcome the french leaders visit strong allegations of interference in the country's politics france has been leading calls for reform in lebanon since the

bay report explosion last month the tragedy itself was blamed on corruption and it triggered the collapse of the government micron's now demanding credible commitments from officials including a new election political commentator maher was been gave a serve use on the french role in lebanon. strong interest is a very really short and small word to express the absolute engagement the french engagement in the news politics if we are celebrating levanon and 70 years 100 years of founding levanon 70 years of being free and independent from the french mandate we are here having the french president with his planes telling us what to do i'm not saying that's bad or not bad i'm just saying that this is not an interest this is another mandate in the me king maybe a mild one with the visits with the constance visits of manuel monk wrong because he's dealing with the same political elites we're not talking about officials when

he said sanctioning officials i don't think that this is the right way to see who should be saying sanctioning the elite because the governing body in lebanon is not might the warlords that have been governing from behind the offices the last of the government for the past 32 years this. devastation of a country because when you really sanction the people who are in the government you're doing nothing because the people above the government controlling everything from institutions to public and private ones to the poor to the airport etc you name it then what are you doing if you are not targeting these people but at the same time who are you to dargon these people if anyone should target them it should be us the people specially after the tragedy that happened the explosion the devastation that took over being in our midst or because of corruption and it might be because of other cause of russian is the main cause and by seen what mike brown has been doing for the past 2 visits you can see that france is just diving more

and more into the lebanese politics under a certain point when the lebanese public will maybe not not take it in. first because announced a radical change to its terms of service uses of started receiving notifications saying the social media giant will start removing or blocking any content that could expose the company to legal action. we can also remove or restrict access to content services or information if we determine that doing so is reasonably necessary to avoid or mitigate adverse legal regulatory impacts to facebook disturbing near addition to facebook terms of service that could be used to justify online censorship but with the government's use in restrictive national laws to order social media platforms to censor information critical of the government or more narky in violation of online freedom facebook's terms of service update translated to plain english will remove content not because it is incorrect

misleading illegal or spreads dangerous misinformation but because removing it might help prevent us from getting caught allowing it did you see the new facebook terms of said this smells like election interference and censorship to me. well as you heard there's already been a strong negative reaction to the new rules which take effect on october 1st it all comes despite facebook boss mark zuckerberg repeated pledge not to sense a political content. you know we've tried to distinguish ourselves at is. probably being one of the tech companies that is the most protective of giving people a voice and free expression overall content is newsworthy we also won't take it down even if it would otherwise conflict with some of our standards what i believe is that in a democracy it's really important that people can see for themselves what politicians are saying that they can make their own judgments i don't think it's right for a private company to censor politicians or the news in

a democracy doesn't fit in with facebook practices in general which have been censoring and biased and completely draconian in terms of how they treat content and it's very prejudicial as well they have never been really for free speech and they have now with facebook news they intend to basically not only control news but own it it always say that somebody is threatening to sue them for a search for such and such a content so basically it is a car launch life to remove any content whatsoever without explanation and the users are now you know they're a captive audience it's very hard to move from one social network to another you have a whole network of friends and followers that you have that you are counting on communicating to and now they know that their virtual mark leave so they can basically they're suggesting they can do whatever they want. we say saying without
