ah. the suspect beheaded a teacher in front is revealed to be an 18 year old. who was born in moscow and had been living in france as a refugee was shot dead by police not far from the crime scene also ahead on the program. i'm standing in one of the craters left by the bombardment it's about 8 pieces in diameter fighting continues between armenia and azerbaijan over the. region despite both sides agreeing to a cease fire one week ago. while shells have also rained on on areas outside of this territory with civilian casualties reported in as your recent days.

just after 8 in the evening here in moscow welcome wherever you're counting the program from today on you know neal. french prosecutors say the man brought to capitated a school teacher in france on friday was born in moscow was of chechen origin russia sais he has no connections to the country he moved to france 12 years ago with his family said executed one of the people held. to mohammed that's a direct quote the anti terrorism prosecutor he also outlined the details of the individuals being arrested in connection with the task. parents and grandparents of the young. all the 18 year old assailant and also

a parent all the students who had apparently place to put you on facebook in the last few weeks calling for the teach it to be dismissed as a result of showing those care features of the prophet mohammed muslim prophet to the cost for him and we end this stand that in the days leading up to this decapitation there were many threats that were being made against at the 47 year old teacher we've been speaking to some of the parents all children who are also 'd in senegal patti's cost to them of you. he asked muslim children to raise their hand and leave the classroom he did it my son told me he didn't do it to discriminate or to hurt he did it to preserve the children to not chilled them he explained i'd prefer if you left because i'm going to show a cartoon of the prophet of islam i don't want to shock you delegates will do and i think you see where it's an attack here normally nothing ever happens here and now

it teaches been decapitated children unsafe we don't know what to do what the reaction has been shock and horror here in france about this brutal acts hack almost teacher you know the rector of the great great mosque here in paris has said that he was horrified by what's happened and he said that condemnation just isn't enough anymore that action needed to be taken and also it was culmination from the a model of the great mosque in he described this as being the final the hate yet and not that of a muslim whatever the thought the believe even the insult the caricature of the other nothing justifies the fact of killing the so it is a mortal capital soon to kill a person like that to cut his throat like that all because it showed caricaturists of the prophet there have been there been 2 terror attacks hate in france in the loss. 3 weeks and both of those attacks related to the images of the slim profit

and income this france is trying to do you the issue of separatism hair the present masculine arab line course he wants to do the draft rudy to be presented before the end of 2020 he said that france would fight back against any form of separatism and that end any deviation away from france's secular values wouldn't be tolerated he talked about liberating from some foreign influences we know that drove through is going to see closest scrutiny or schools and associations that serve religious communities and that arabic will now be true in mainstream schools rather than in mosques that law is sent to you by the end of the year but it comes as polls have been giving us and in planning all walked many muslims feel one poll recently showed that almost sweet quarters that those who responded who are under the age of $25.00 said that they would put their religion above that of the republic this

attack as. a huge fear now particularly amongst teaches you may have to give similar classes to that several patty when it talking about freedom of speech they wonder now if they too are in the firing line through doing that and this is even raised more questions about what's being done at the moment with that is actually enough to prevent this sort of radicalization that leads to such extreme brutality charlotte dubinsky people have been laying flowers where the deadly attack unfolded locals say the incident shows how freedom of expression is on her threat in front. it is a mix of anger and sadness at the same time because it's just a teacher who got killed for doing his job this touches me it shocks me.

it's a pity that the attacker was killed because he should have been judged for his actions and it's a pity that we can no longer teach as we wish and enjoy freedom of speech every time there's this kind of reprisal it's related to religion and that's a problem in a secular country. for human to human madness that's where we are today in france it's unfortunate just a lesson just a caricature frankly it's hard to imagine that someone could do it just for that a drawing a simple drawing if we can no longer say what we want it's as if our democracy has been crushed by religion by politics in motion is running very high a political analyst in paris told us as well the clash between secular and religious values in france urgently need to addressing. there is a program very deep problem between islamic groups in our conception of the secured aurizon city as we said in prince reconsider of the

trojans is a intimate affair and a private affair and we cannot mixed the region and the life in the street in the city there is a low in preparation but. a lot of people have considered that the slope is too shy . and is not proportional nate to the very quick move from the president to the spot where the tragedy at present is the important number of confine. of this conscience of descendant conscience of the dems are. sort of a headline stories today powerful explosions rocked the capital of the disputed nagorno-karabakh region on some today that is the spike last weekend ceasefire deal reached between armenia and azerbaijan

a raid sirens were reportedly heard throughout the night but the extent of the damage is unclear rockets are also believed to have struck the area surrounding the city these are pictures from one of the nearby villages were injuries are reported but although the region is legally part of azerbaijan it's populated mainly by ethnic armenians the conflict stretches back more than 3 decades in an interview to russian media the leaders of both countries outlined their position. but i would not stop. there is a red line for us and this is the right to self-determination of the people of mcgovern occur and that all times there are many of us ready for such a compromise but there are by john refused to sign agreements because of the river john did not want and does not want to accept that right. under no circumstances can the territorial integrity of azerbaijan be violated

under no circumstances will as was john consent to the independence of nagorno karabakh we believe that in the future the armenian and the azerbaijani communities should live peacefully and co-exist on the territory of nagorno-karabakh or fighting is not a flirt in a number of regions the 2 sides accuse each other of launching attacks reports on how life has been affected for those living in the conflict epicenter. this place could very easily be mistaken for the front line of nagorno karabakh but it isn't it's a small sleepy village of. also commonly known as red bazaar and last night it was battered by a very fire standing in one of the craters left by the bombardment it's about 8 metres in diameter the. most about 7 o'clock i wanted to park the car in the yard because the bombs had been dropped there. the cast iron explodes and splinters

everywhere with a radius up to a few 100 metres today for example my house wasn't damaged but our neighbors windows were smashed someone's roof was broken we already used to it. like all villages of nagorno karabakh red bazaar resembles a ghost town it's not the 1st time that it's been bombed in this escalation there's also a monotonous rhythm made by the sounds of artillery fire coming from over the horizon but those who have chosen to stay are saying that they have gotten used to this new and gruesome soundtrack to their lives he says the kind of life can that be during war everyone hides in basements even if a bomb drops a kilometer away all the houses shake we know that it's close to us of course it's scary especially when the bombs drop nearby but i'm not going to leave anyway there's no way of saying for sure who is in control of this heavily contested

region which is considered to be the gateway into nagorno-karabakh thing is it's one of the biggest problems about covering this conflict the lack of opportunities to independently verify the claims of both sides but one fact is certain the fighting there is absolutely brutal despite the ceasefire that was announced a whole week ago but as of now there's no mechanism of enforcing the truce on the ground and as long until this mechanism is implemented the fighting won't seize by itself and we've done of reporting from the going to karabakh r.t. . yeah that's igor in the going to cart a box but the conflict has again spilled beyond the confines of the disputed territory azerbaijan claims 13 people were killed during shelling in the early hours of saturday morning more than 50 people were reported injured in the 2nd largest city of ganja and residential buildings to be as every president claims it

was a war crime and has evolved to respond i'm militarily. another azerbaijani city reportedly came under fire this week who accuses armine of carrying out the attacks a local journalist from azerbaijan sent us this. i am is it told to region of his or vision it is safe here now but a few days ago simply turning over an old camera lights would have restyle lives with guns firing at any school so flight and do regions. and good boy came to live for armenian armed forces for example would be in the. top drawer district we hear shells exploding no more than a few 100 meters from us fighting continues along the front line and surveillance are called indeed mido for example yesterday during a funeral procession shell exploded

a girl killing 5 people and another 5 shells he also residential buildings and the main ruled people here in qatar leave by their nerves never knowing when shells are start falling again well though the region is legally part of azerbaijan that is populated mainly by ethnic armenians in an interview to russian media the leaders of both countries are lying there are positions. ok we will get that piece of tape a little bit later in the program but moving on further knowledge murder torture rape or crimes that ongar cover agents in the u.k. would be allowed to commit under a new bill that's passed the house of commons it still needs approval from the operator though an amendment which was intended to limit the list of crimes was rejected the amendments that would give the intelligence services the protections

they need but stop short of giving them the card blanche authorization to carry out the his crimes in the name of the state they have happened too often in the past on the billing question was introduced last month and seeks to permit certain criminal acts by authorities in the u.k. in order to keep their identity secret police intelligence services and armed forces will all be covered however the government insists it doesn't grant a license to kill political commentator anthony webber affairs with identity amendments british citizens will be at risk. for the happens if this. actual i am students who is government social services. what will each do so it's not certainty how to save the hospital to make sure the shoes are moments the they were recesses. actually.

because this is. a very well you. grab your. power. we've got no accountability. who's very old school the government says here is the router owes you to. see. if there is a grease. would be very not. it's. this is r t international be back with more news in about 90 seconds.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. here in dramatic development only and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and.

just approaching 1000 minutes into the program welcome back coronavirus cases are surging again in the u.s. friday saw 70000 new infections recorded the highest figure since july the pandemic new york has remained in the top 5 states when it comes to cobra tallies president laid the blame squarely at the feet of the governor cuomo new york it has been the worst of the been the whole country $40000.00 deaths new york has done very badly it is going to be really good job cuomo new york's governor however claims a lot of progress has been made on the situation stabilized but just like the administration many blame the local authorities for the chaos of the past few months across the story for us this hour killed martin. they call it the big apple the city of dreams

the capital of capitalism but 7 months into the pandemic new york city is not doing too well and local government is catching the blame it's incredible how little we have learned in 7 months well they better start learning pretty fast at this point we've seen gun violence on the rise rapidly the f.b.i. and the u.s. attorney are looking to intervene my perception is is that this the city in certain other pockets has become an environment which is too permissive for armed criminal offenders to walk the streets at the peril of the public in addition to that we've got the new york city police department they are bracing for massive underestimate following the presidential election this november 3rd will be one of the most highly contested presidential elections in the modern era we should anticipate and prepare for protests growing in size frequency and intensity leading up to the

election and likely into the year 2021 broadway is staying shut down until summer of 2021 lots of lost jobs and lots of lost profits furthermore the historic roosevelt hotel has been forced to close there are no tourists to book their room now other hotels have been used to house homeless people and keep them off the streets during the pandemic a public health measure however residents of those neighborhoods are not thrilled about their new neighbors and they are suing the city the city has reacted recklessly and so radically by repeatedly uprooting these individuals based on political pressure hospitalizations for covert 19 are now starting to rise once again local officials have a lot of problems on their hands and for every problem they solve 10 more seem to pop up a look mop and r.t. new york. israel push forward this week with plans for thousands of

settlement homes in the west bank they are oblique has flown the move that comes less than a month after israel bahrain and the united arab emirates agreed to normalize relations. the netanyahu government's insistence on moving forward with settlement activity to satisfy the extreme right wing reflects its rejection of this solution and even its commitment to destroy the chances of achieving it in the future the expansion plans are the biggest since 2012 according to the israeli n.g.o.s peace now israel claims it has historical and biblical ties to the west bank or around half a 1000000 israeli settlers live alongside nearly 3000000 palestinians earlier this year israel agreed to freeze the formal omics ation of the west bank under the us middle east plan spearheaded by president whoever palestinians claim the deal greenlights is really settlement activities. meanwhile un

human rights observers are still being denied access to israel on the palestinian territories back in february israeli authorities announced the country was suspending ties but the un's human rights watchdog accusing it of continuous and biased this is what the organization said in response to the absence of international stop from the occupied territories a highly irregular situation will negatively impact the now billeted to carry out our mandate we continue to hope that this situation will be resolved soon and we're actively engaged with various relevant and concerned parties do that. well in reaction to these latest developments we spoke with the director of human rights watch and region omar sheikh here who israel deported last year claiming he supported a boycott of the jewish. this is clearly being done as an effort to muzzle documentation and advocacy around israel systematic repression of palestinians and i should say it's not a one off issue i was deported myself after being more than 2 and

a half years based on the ground as human rights watch is israel palestine director based on our work on the ground as well and it's part of a long standing trend and it's part of a sustained assault on the human rights movement while the us has historically always shielded israel from accountability and turned a blind eye to buz this us administration has taken it a step further and even giving the green light for these abuses to continue to come to no surprise that we see settlement activities at unprecedented levels historically and continued efforts to entrench this discriminatory reality if you'd like to delve deeper into any of those stories a good place to start is our t.v. dot com content always being refresh there i mean in a real life and. 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 overrun 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 subprime crash or a hurricane or ecological or a 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 interest rates have gone down so now here we are in the end of the year the question again is this takeover crisis big enough to not be able to be fixed by central bank money printing. americans love buying homes.

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

this is boom bust the one business show you can't afford to miss or in washington coming up the federal communications commission has moved to target social media giants following outrage over alleged censorship straight ahead we'll dig into what the moves mean for the new public square plus amidst a pandemic sports are in need of distraction cope it has wreaked havoc on nearly every major league later i'm going to bring in a panel to analyze the financial state of the industry we have a packed show today so let's dive right in. and we leave the program with the latest in the world of social media in a week that has been nothing short of head spinning in the tech world we have new developments on friday as the federal communications commission is indicating that it may begin to regulate platforms over censorship on thursday f.c.c.

chairman i said that the agency will seek to regulate social media platforms like facebook and twitter at the behest of the trump administration's executive orders signed earlier this year so let's waste no time to get to the details of a boom bust co-host an investigative journalist ben swan now ben all of this ramped up this week when twitter and facebook censored and blocked a new york post story regarding e-mails of former vice president joe biden's son hunter by that what happened from the tech side and why has it created such a huge backlash yeah what's really interesting about this brand is that the backlash is bigger than the story itself quite possibly which is that you know because the post could. this article by the way the new york post you know the 3rd largest daily distribution of any paper in the country they put up this story they tweeted out and twitter responds by actually locking the new york post account they've banned other accounts that they block sharing of it through the direct

u.r.l. and they even blocked the sharing of it through d.m. what's interesting is twitter who's gotten a lot of attention here actually was the 2nd tech company to act the 1st tech company was facebook and facebook essentially said this is a story that should be looked at by our fact checkers but even without fact checkers looking at it we can go into a whole debate about whether or not the fact checkers are legitimate and what they're doing even without looking at it facebook said that it would actually slow down distribution of the story by putting a warning on it what does that mean moped when mark zuckerberg was testifying in front of congress last year about this he said at the time that to reduce distribution on a story by putting those warning labels on it reduces distribution by 98 percent that's what she testified so you're talking about knocking the story down to 2 percent distribution and so in this case it has what we would call the streisand effect which is that your response to try to keep people from seeing the story has actually made far more people see and pay attention to the story than they ever would of had you not gotten involved as much as the post has complained about that

if you look at any of their coverage in the last 24 to 48 hours it's been all about how they've been wrong so i think they're doing pretty well over it as well now you mentioned that twitter says the report violated its policy on hack materials but friday the company stated that it will quote no longer remove hack content unless it is directly shared by hackers or those acting in concert with them and will add contextual labels to tweets with links to such material instead of blocking them entirely now is that a step in the right direction or is that kind of go in the same line of with what facebook has done which is still really. messing up the distribution of those content. well i don't think it goes in the right direction but i don't understand it as a journalist i would say that it's very disturbing when a tech company says that we will block we have a policy against hacked materials why do you the policy against that i mean glyn greenwald put out a great tweet about this in which he said under this this set of rules the pentagon papers would never have been able to be released snow.
