10:05 pm
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. whatever the thought the believe even the insult the caricature of the other nothing justifies the fact of killing the so it is the mortal capital soon to kill a person like that to cut his throat like that all because it showed caricaturists of the prophet they have to know been to terror attacks hate in france in the last 3 weeks and both of those attacks related to the images of the slim profit and income this front is trying to do you the issue of separatism here their present medical outline was he wants to do the draft through d.t. percentage before the end of 2020 he said that france would fight back against any
10:06 pm
form of separatism and that ed any deviation away from france's secular values wouldn't be tolerated he talked about liberating from foreign influences we know that drove always going to close a scrutiny or. schools associations 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 if it comes as polls have been giving us and including all walked many muslims feel one poll recently showed that almost sweet crude says 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 has. a huge fear now particularly amongst teaches you may have to give similar classes to that real party when the talking about freedom of speech they wonder now if they too are in the firing line through doing that and this is raised more questions
10:07 pm
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 crowds of people gathered on saturday to pay tribute and offer their final respects among them students of the victims some of his colleagues held signs proclaiming jase we samuels and the town's former mayor shared with r.t. his reaction to the gruesome killing. shoot. i'm shocked and angered because this is complete madness a teacher doing their job giving food for thoughts about freedoms and republican values he was beheaded it's horrendous he's a victim of madness i'm even more shocked that this college is one i opened when i was the town mayor and it had a good reputation working there was nice and it was located in a neighborhood without any problems or violence it's time for us to take
10:08 pm
a tough stance on the issue on how people intrude into from well being deemed as refugees and surprisingly given resident cause to 2030 i don't think that this act of terror is a crazy man's deed but a premeditated act at this point we must prosecute for any violation of the republic's laws in particular for the pressure being put on teachers and journalists to keep them silent. paris based political analyst nicolette markovitch believes the deadly incident highlights the refugee crisis unfolding in france because too early to see what type of check was done with these refugees come into france what kind of check this friends do how would they do that to see their background or these people coming from what are their beliefs or what are their motivations why are they coming here 'd and do they belong to any specific organizations i think this definition that france does not do that in any case it doesn't do it correctly and it's that in people which shouldn't be here if you are
10:09 pm
going to let 20300000 people into your country illegally each year and i'm not even if you're talking about people coming illegally what is your crowd are you going to help them integrate are you going to do you have jobs with them are you going to help them turn french are you going to help them grapes in the culture to appreciate the culture and the culture there definitely is a major 1st number one problem which is the integration 20 people are coming in and there's not enough means to help them integrate but also the 1st muslim community has a response. has to come these people down it has to show them there's another way it's them all rose we know most of all minorities take over majorities and this is where the future of this stuff could be if people within the muslim community don't do anything. now in asia a new ceasefire has come into force between armenia and azerbaijan one week since the previous truce was agreed to in moscow but just hours into the new deal there have been reports of resumed hostilities this latest ceasefire was negotiated after
10:10 pm
powerful explosions rocked the capital of the disputed nagorno-karabakh region on saturday air raid sirens were heard all through the night with rockets hitting areas surrounding the city we spoke to locals who witnessed the bombardment you know i don't know well as far as knowing you but i was a talk and lost consciousness when i came to i heard yelling open the door and saw my neighbor i've never seen such shelling although i've been here through 2 was that ever that there were sirens all night who could not sleep we were bombed but we're kind of used to that it does not feel as threatening as it once did we live in a basement that's why it's not that scary. when we have to pull out when i woke up i didn't even know what to wear and where to run in the morning and i came out and saw that the road had been heat broken glass was everywhere that was very scary the car by a conflict stretches back more than 3 decades although the region is legally part of azerbaijan it's populated mainly by ethnic armenians in an interview with
10:11 pm
russian media the leaders of both countries outlined their positions. but i would not. 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 another bridge on 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 a vision consent to the independence of nagorno karabakh we believe that in the future the armenian and the azubuike johny communities should live peacefully and co-exist on the territory of nagorno-karabakh fighting it flared up recently in a number of regions throughout the area with both sides accusing each other of launching attacks don of reports on how life has been affected for those living in the conflict zone. this place could very easily be mistaken for the front line of
10:12 pm
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 meters in diameter. it was 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 meters today for example my house wasn't damaged but our neighbor's windows were smashed someone's roof was broken we're already used to it. like all villages of nagorno karabakh red bazaar resembles a ghost town it's not the 1st time that has been bombed in this escalation there's also a monotonous rhythm made by the sounds of artillery fire coming from over the horizon
10:13 pm
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 what kind of life can there 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 dropped 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 until this. mechanism is implemented the sees by itself and we get done of
10:14 pm

10:16 pm
a revision intended to limit the list of crimes was rejected. the amendments 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 the bill in question was introduced last month and seeks to permit certain criminal acts by authorities in the u.k. if they're done in order to prevent undercover identities from being made public the 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 fears without any amendments british citizens will be at risk for stroke that happens if this. extra hour is given schoolies government social services so there should only just. what will these do so it's not shouldn't be hard to save for all of us will

10:18 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race is on very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. when you look and you know it's it's been 153 years since emancipation and when you look at it's been 400 years right since black people have been in the u.s. and extract in their labor for the construction of the country and then you think that black people on about 2 percent of us wealth and are disproportionately high as category in almost everything that's negative i just don't see that that i don't see how anybody any work to find that is until we.

welcome back now coronavirus cases are once again surging in the united states friday saw 70000 new infections recorded the highest figure since july and president trump has laid the blame squarely at the feet of the governor andrew cuomo. new york has been the worst of it in the whole country 40000 deaths new york has done very badly he's done a bad job really good job cuomo new york's governor however claims a lot of progress has been made and that the situation has been stabilized but just like the trumpet ministration many blame the local authorities for the chaos of the past few months they look up and is across the story they call it the big apple the city of dreams the capital of capitalism but 7 months into the pandemic new york
10:20 pm
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
10:21 pm
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. he has reacted recklessly into ratatouille 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 tale of mufon r.t. new york. israel pushed forward this week with plans for thousands of settlement homes in the west bank arabic nations have slammed the move and it comes less than
10:22 pm
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 expansion plans are the biggest since 2012 according to the israeli n.-g. o. peace now israel claims it has historical and biblical ties to the west bank where around half a 1000000 israeli settlers live alongside nearly 3000000 palestinians earlier this year israel agreed to freeze the formal onix a sion of the west bank under the us middle east plans spearheaded by president however palestinians claim the deal greenlights israeli settlement activities. meanwhile un human rights observers are still being denied access to israel and the palestinian territories back in february israeli authorities announced the country
10:23 pm
was suspending ties with the un's human rights watchdog accusing it of a continuous bias this is what the organization said in response. the absence of international stop from the occupied territories a highly irregular situation will negatively impact the knowledge billeted to carry out a mandate we continued to who but this situation will be resolved soon and we're actively engaged with various relevant and concerned parties to that and we spoke with the director of human rights watch in the region all marshak here who israel deported last year on charges of supporting a boycott of the jewish state. 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
10:24 pm
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. this us administration is taking it a step further and even giving the green light for these abuses to continue come to no surprise that we see settlement activities at unprecedented levels historically and continued efforts to entrench this discriminatory reality. more than 2 months since the disputed presidential election protesters continue to fill the streets of belarus over the weekends 10 people were arrested during the latest demonstration against what they claim was a rigged result of august vote the scenes have become something of a tradition each weekend with hundreds of women and students holding flowers and walking in the streets alongside a sizeable police presence. brought a virus skeptics have been out in force in london one arrest was made as hundreds

back in february the question i posed to the global audience was will this be a. overran the ability of central banks to paper over the crisis because for the last 30 years every crisis whether it's a market crash of a. hurricane or ecological or. a war always been met with paper printing by the central banks. interest rates keep going down. for paper now for 40 years interest rates have gone down so now here we are in the end of the year the question again is the crisis big enough to not be able to be fixed by central bank money printing.

part of. the welcome to worlds apart when it comes to discussing racism in america the debate usually focuses on how immoral or entrenched it is and while it is definitely both of those things it's hard to quantify. impact just what it is that tries of prejudice and who's responsible for their passion reading or ending it all
10:29 pm
to discuss that i'm now joined by sean rochester author all of the black hats the cost of being black in america mr rochester it's very good to talk to you thank you very much for giving us this opportunity. it is a wonderful thing to be on the platform thank you very much for having me and for engaging in this really important conversation now in your book you cited a number of studies of discrimination in the job market all of which are pretty distressing but the one that blew me away completely was all the fact maine's wife sounding names versus black sounding names who would know that there's such a distinction and he talked more about this yeah so the university of chicago edition really groundwork breaking our research right on this and they sent out resumes to over 5000 different employers across private public sector large companies medium size small businesses they were trying to get a sense of the amount of discrimination in the labor market was really important in
10:30 pm
no ways in the resumes that they sent out it would be the same resumes they would just switch the names right the other thing that they would do is they would stress you know augment the strength of the quality of the resume right so increase the quality institution depth of experience length of experience so on and so forth and what they found was if you have you know. a black you know white sounding name you have your callbacks would be 50 percent higher right on the other thing that they found was you know if you were at a white sounding name as the strength and quality of their resume increased right because we want to talk to the stronger candidates because back when it by 30 percent makes total sense right but if you had a black sounding name that as a strength and quality resume went up the callbacks did not go up at all and it is the cli you know 0 no interest level you actually needed the incremental 8 years of experience to overcome this.
