have already gone democrat hopeful. by. they take negative post. before they even go up there trying to protect try to protect but this is election interference in the attempt to rig an election which is what we're seeing here monopolies unprecedented in american history. around the clock across the world. international from the team and myself you know neal hello and welcome to the program. french president. has confirmed the beheading of a teacher in part on friday evening was quote an islamist terror attack the suspect was shot dead by police shortly afterwards charlotte david us from the french capital earlier. well we understand that it's

a 47 year old history teacher who has been decapitated in this particularly gruesome and brutal attack that took place in a northwest area just outside of paris and we understand that it was perpetrated by an 18 year old man to give you some background on this we understand that the teacher had been just a few weeks ago giving a class on freedom of expression and in that class had apparently shown the students caricature cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammed now we understand that some of the parents were unhappy about that and they actually reported the teacher at the time we understand that on friday he was to capitated by this 18 year old and the attack took place just outside the school at around 5 pm local time here in france this is being treated as

a possible terror attack and we understand that shouts of allahu akhbar would heard just before that attack was carried out the interior minister here in france has cut short a visit to morocco and is back in the country where he is heading up a crisis unit back in paris i'm being informed directly by the crisis unit that i have opened in conjunction with the president of the republic and the prime minister so we understand that the perpetrator of this attack then tweeted some of the most of gruesome images i have seen of late all of the decapitation of that 47 year old teacher in the tweet that was posted in this now apparently been removed from social media the 18 year old said that he did this in the name of allah and he said he executed the 47 year old history teacher because he had belittled the prophet mohammed relating back to those caricature as that perhaps had been shown.

in the class just a few weeks ago the image of the decapitation very gruesome the face mask that the teacher had been wearing soaked completely in blood now we understand that the teacher the police then turned up that the 18 year old alleged attacker at threatened them with a knife and they then shot him dead president mark or unhealed this is a long awaited speech that's been in the works for months about the problem with separatism here in france he said that he wanted to fight back against separatism in this d.v.d. or ation away from the secular nature of france now this is because the french authorities had been fearing for a long time that children were learning arabic in a setting that was organized by religious associations and in mosques and that they were at risk of being indoctrinated by radical islamists as a result of that president mark on announce that they would be no more home

schooling unless there were situations such as health concerns he announced that there would be closer scrutiny of religious associations and schools that served religious communities he talked about liberating france from a foreign influence and this all came around a time as well that we saw a poll of 3 quarters of respondents or who were muslims under the age of $25.00 saying that they would put their faith ahead of the republic and many also saying that they are unhappy with the idea of magazine say like charley do we publishing the controversial cartoons of the prophet mohammed which it did just a few weeks ago and to bring this into context again just 3 weeks ago we also saw another terror attack related to the images of the prophet mohammed here in paris when an 18 year old stabbed 2 people outside the former offices of charlie hebdo so

very. worrying developments that within less than a month they have been 2 incidents one including this deadly gruesome decapitation of a teacher on friday here in paris all over it seems the republic showing off a cartoons of the prophet mohammed charlotte devinsky well we spoke to the former secretary of the french national front abroad to say the government isn't doing enough to tackle terrorism. unfortunately this continued to happen every month we have another gruesome story those who preach hatred those can be sent back to different countries. they can be put in jail i mean again we have laws to protect the french citizen from those things to happen and whatever if mcchrystal king about it now and again that's a good thing but if he doesn't have the courage to implement the rules and regulations then we will continue to see the situation i mean when we have someone you know does say that it's ok to you to decapitate another person i mean there's

no there's no room for for for discussion. has decided to talk about it and that's a good thing however in terms of acts i think we're far from what should be done one of the major issues that you know that can describe the situation we're in right now it's mess of immigration and that's not uncontroversial to. washington and moscow are at odds over the extension to a major nuclear arms control treaty after the u.s. pushed back against vladimir putin's proposal to continue it without preconditions for another year nikky or and has more. well as the clock ticks on the last remaining u.s. russian arms control treaty the united states and russia remain locked in what seems to be a stalemates one last go is suggesting an unconditional 5 year extension of the treaty the u.s. wants quite extensive changes which moscow has called it quite simply unrealistic now speaking earlier on friday the russian president made

a strong call it to save the remaining pact you used to listen i have a suggestion to prolong the existing treaty without any conditions for at least one year in order to have the opportunity to hold talks on all the matters regulated by such treaties and not to leave all the countries in the world interested in the preservation of strategic stability without such a fundamental document as district did you comes reduction treaty. but things between that say seem to have escalated quite quickly with the us even responding with threats if they say that conditions are not met. president putin's response today to extend new stance without freezing nuclear warheads is a nonstarter the united states is serious about arms control that will keep the entire world safe we hope that russia will re-evaluate its position before a costly arms race ensues now the issue is that washington wants a framework for a new trial lateral treaty that covers all nuclear warheads and includes those of china in the future and that's something which russia has objected to now the new

strategic arms reduction treaty otherwise known as the new start treaty was signed in 2010 by the us president barack obama and russian president dmitry medvedev the pact limits each country to no more than $1550.00 deployed nuclear warheads and $700.00 deployed missiles and bombers and in visit is sweeping on site inspections to verify compliance too but the treaty is set to expire in feb 2021 so time is really of the essence here and the lack of an agreement and of course the tone of rhetoric between the 2 sides has raised concerns within the un it is imperative that the russian federation and united states of america extend with. the new start treaty for the duration of 5 years for the sake of all of our security the world must return to a common past was nuclear these are months now as you may remember last year saw the breakdown of the 987 intermediate range nuclear forces treatise so the new

stars is really the only nuclear arms control pact between the 2 sides that remains so needless to say the stakes are high. from spain and the u.k. are setting new delhi infection records exceeding those seen during the initial wave of coronavirus however when it comes to tackling the health crisis it seems political unity is in short supply or europe correspondent peter oliver reports. cases of coronavirus skyrocket across europe e.u. leaders are bringing back hard core restrictions and we have made a decision to impose a curfew it will be in force in the paris region and 8 other french officers just in this situation over the bend them it is serious because we record rising infection numbers almost everywhere the reason is that fear is a 2nd autumn winter wave of the virus would be worse than the 1st appear to be coming true back in march france was in lockdown with around 7 and

a half 1000 daily cases the latest figures show that is high and now the same picture is repeated in spain and in the u.k. while all those countries were in lockdown in the spring now politicians are trying to strike a balance between safety and personal freedom for many the potential economic damage of another lockdown outweighs concerns of a public health. and. now. since the virus was 1st detected in europe different countries of opted for different tactics the swedish government went for a hands off approach relying on people following precautions without them having to be made rules that worked at least for

a while but now restrictions are in place in sweden as well the disjointed approach among member states has caused public frustration a poll of e.u. citizens found that just over half of french people consulted thought there was unity in the block when it came to tackling coronavirus however 60 percent of italians and almost 3 quarters of those here in german. i thought the approach lacked solidarity as i go larry in security there are measures that confusing that i have no idea where i can and can't go there just simplify the rules i'm worried about a 2nd law down especially the impact it will have on restaurant owners and the self-employed it's not clear if there is a right strategy but there must be a better way to explain the strategy where supposed to be when we know the hotspots of large family gatherings politicians maybe care homes and retirement homes that's

where they should focus this is just chaos is one thing that was agreed upon this week was a unified set of travel rules for the european union we welcome the agreement reached day by the member states on uighur coordination of measures restricting free movement related to the coronavirus pandemic it will have a single set of colors to categorize the different regions based on the risk with a single set of rules to follow so citizens can see more clearly what the situation is the german chancellor says that means to be more cooperation across europe to help calm attain a virus that doesn't care whether it's in brussels bremen things we have also experienced that european corporation is not limitless lee resilient i tell you the south critically especially in the beginning of the pandemic inveterate specht we focus too much on the problems of our own country but this experience once again

makes it clear that we need each other we need close european cooperation in order to must agree challenges which can only be achieved together with the citizens and not working above their heads so far unified approach to tackling cove it has been lacking from european leaders these are all of our r.t. . along the reaction we've been getting to our peter was going through there was from a swedish epidemiologist who believes trying to save both lives on the colonies has been made incredibly difficult by planning. if you are to be to be able to enjoy our face it be ok with funding weekend the 1st thing you have to see is whether they are a few groups aware of those little bits interest so it does not help that they say well that was important from long before it should have been taken into account in diplomat of the strategies to face the pandemic that was not there so this is this year i do know. over incapacity less.

i don't see a purpose but your priorities are others you know where your prayers are not to say that it will be with your prayer to start to say the economy or even think that we have a nice economy doing this pandemic and the time to look down that we have there we suffered much more so we're going to have a better position than they have if you have those ideas you have this consideration of course you're going to sacrifice. but that it goes against the human rights our facebook and twitter are to get the us republican party the g.o.p. says absolutely we break that story done few and 90 seconds and counting stay with us.

you know when the family 1st said back in february the question i posed to the global audience was will this be a crisis sufficient enough to override the ability of central banks to paper over the crisis because for the last 30 years every crisis whether it's a market crash or the 2000 a subprime crash or a hurricane or ecological or depopulation or wars always been met with paper printing by the central banks as long as the interest rates keep going down there's no penalty for issuing all that paper as we've seen now for 40 years the interest rates have gone down so now here we are in the end of the year the question again is is the crisis big enough to not be able to be fixed by central bank money printing.

money. with the u.s. election fever nearing its peak remember we're just over 2 weeks a little bit more than not from the election the mud slinging as you might imagine from both sides has gone up a gear but republicans believe they're being specifically targeted by big tech down softer twitter and facebook censored an exclusive article on the reportedly shady business dealings of joe biden and his song hunter the social media giants claim they were merely trying to prevent misinformation going through that story. the election is just 3 weeks out and the new york post the daily conservative tabloid of new york city says it has a bombshell they've allegedly got e-mails from joe biden and his family now the e-mails are said to have come from a laptop that was left behind at

a computer repair shop in delaware there are some images of joe biden's son hunter smoking crack and an alleged sex tape the e-mails show hunter biden introducing his father joe biden and the vice president to the board of barista a natural gas giant from ukraine that actually paid hunter biden $50000.00 a month to sit on its board. did holmes thank you for inviting me to d.c. and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spend some time together it's really an honor and pleasure critics say this proves that joe biden when he was vice president knew about his son's business deals in ukraine and helped to the republicans see this is damaging the biden campaign team of course they didn't i everything so why has this story gotten so big and well social media got involved. well they will intentionally not link to the new york post i want to be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by facebook's 3rd party checking partners

in the meantime we are reducing its distribution on our platform on facebook you couldn't even share this story in a direct private message it was blacked out gone twitter even shut down the new york post account and the account of the white house press secretary when she tried to share a screen shot of many this looks a lot like tech giants meddling in american politics so how did twitter explaining . the policy establishment 2018 perhaps to use of our service to distribute content obtained without authorization well that's interesting because the recent story from the new york times similarly unconfirmed about donald trump's tax returns which was based on personal data that was somehow collected which the new york times never bothered to explain where they got it from that story it's still up on both platforms so cue the republicans with biden today they take

a negative post down own those before they even go up there trying to protect him they tried to project by the tech monopolies that control american media feared this story might hurt that candidate whom they favor this is election interference in the attempt to rig an election which is what we're seeing here by monopolies is unprecedented in american history now twitter says this is all just a big miscommunication well the damage has already been done the story of joe biden and his son and their business dealings is probably not going to have a big impact on the election results however the move by the tech giants to censure him after they've already had a long history of anti-conservative bias that very well could. r.t. new york it just a little bit more on kill of story to. twitter has since announced that will advance revise its hocked materials policy so that means it's going to label tweets

instead of blocking them but not in this case the new york post article remains blocked as it displays images containing private information will public policy professor mark abrams believes silicon valley has gone full political actor now both twitter and facebook are very clearly in the biden camp and so this bombshell story by the new york post is damaging to joe biden and so both twitter and facebook for political reasons are trying to restrict viewership of this incriminating information of course the social media platforms can't come out and say that explicitly they can't say were in cahoots with you know the biden team and we didn't like it for political reasons it reasons instead they need to make up other reasons for restricting viewership what

is clear is that this was a very pro biden move. a rebellion is brewing in the north of england after the government brought in regionally targeted covert restrictions but faced with growing opposition prime minister boris johnson has pleaded with them or of greater manchester to engage constructively however he threatened action if ignored if agreement cannot be reached i will need to intervene in order to protect men just as hospitals and save the lives of magisters residents the prime minister's words come after a month chester's marron opposition labor party politician accused uninsured of using the north canaries in the coal mine breaking down that story for us in our. the mayor of manchester has been speaking today and he's been lashing out at the government's attempts to implement this so-called 3 year to system on certain parts

of the u.k. or at least putting certain parts of the country into those higher brackets and mr burnham saying that those parts of the country suffered enough economically there are certain sectors of the economy that have suffered enough economically throughout this crisis and if the government is going to pull these measures out then they have to extend some type of financial support to those regions last night the deputy chief medical officer told great amongst the leaders to bring the infection rates down any regional lock down would require widespread closures way beyond pulps to stand any real chance of working and that would have to be done in tandem with all the neighboring regions and even then it would not be certain to work but here's the point the government is not giving city regional city regions like ours and the liverpool city region the necessary financial

backing for full lock downs of that kind that is why we have unanimously opposed the government's plans for tier 3 they are flawed and unfair. now there are other leaders in the northeast of the country council leaders who have also lashed out in places like sunderland the new cost of against these government measures here in the capital london we are expecting to go into the height from saturday all the words on the streets of the city there are mixed feelings as to whether that is the right way forward i think it's kind of been thrown a lot of people people weren't expecting it necessarily but it seems like it's the logical next step i would prefer a sure shot down rather than something that we just don't know when it might. just keep rolling right back look at the damage that it's been doing to the economy to a 2 tier 3 everyone suffering now we've reached

a point where this there doesn't seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel i take the view that the this the reaction to this disease is. more unfortunate and terrible it is being grossly exaggerated and we need to. try and regain normality soon as possible again i feel whatever is going to. spread is a good thing i think it probably needed to happen a while ago and maybe we would have had to do it a bit less dissin know it was fairly it's gone forever and i know it's in the public interest and we should be safe but. i don't know i'm really tired of my work and everything just being disrupted all the time you do i have to do it. we're in this for the long term or we're all set to cross to some more great programs in moments here on artsy find out what's being served up in your part of the world up to the shortest of breaks to the season.

americans love. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get a hope and then you know rebel right that's the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. and be really interesting to dial it back and think about the longer deeper history housings men in the united states not just that question of the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream is for.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. away. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a made in the shallows. secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however he even the most prosperous can be deceived within this 0 song there were 2 view

houses were allowed to leave prison was located and only cia people had access to the story for investigators show how they uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. the great of nor in. hockey seem a bit of sore knee for. crying for justice on r.t. .

you know to go home by default is if you don't focus the muslim people it badly i doubt i'm easy on those eagles i suppose oh no may the not just one of the whole heap of money i want. to. leave because it gives me too much us big old couple to get pussy and i'm we said it could. be. someplace he most people in most combat most came in nobody goes from believe me national security was he has put all you can only do i cope. in those that i pull. out of the compass he will. deny someone to speak honestly i'm not one source who's he live in the do you believe i caught him on the field vehicle. gentles i know i'm also

a little spoiled little mortals little man if you see how they love my thank you know because i have reason to not a political not someone else a little bit more little. don't than the what do you think i put in a spot on the loss of life but a compass you know if you don't want to put us all to get. no diddy he more simple this. place and. i got to know most of that i got you in the. light. at the name when we think you applied. and it's all meant to start one.
