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 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. well some of the reaction we have been getting

included space political analyst nicol america believes the deadly incident highlights the refugee crisis unfolding in front. because too early to see what type of check was done with these refugees come into france what kind of check does france 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 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 going to let people into your country what is your crowd are you going to help them integrate are you going to do you have jobs for 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 of all problem which is the integration 20 people are coming in and there's not enough means to help them integrate but also the. muslim community has a response has to come these people that it has the short. there's another way it's

a striking resemblance to those in other towns of nagorno karabakh it's a place of desolation and despair those who can fight are already on the front lines those who had somewhere to run already have done but alone or doesn't have any choice but to stay another story. we have to fit in this small shelter with a kitchen and badger in the same place we are too scared to go with doors when we hear the sound of the sirens we are rushing here to hide every even in the reason we can hear the shelling people seem to be unfazed by the story state of the cathedral there's plenty of candles still burning. the hoff destroyed walls of the church people pray for peace to return to this land sooner rather than later you've done of reporting from nagorno-karabakh. well just perhaps give some background to this 3 decades of tensions between book in europe over the territory

russia close to her eve unity finally written otieno party from moscow. staying on a medical theme in the netherlands doctors could soon be allowed to euthanize terminally ill children aged between one and 12 but it's up to the government approved plans for a change to the law an issue been seen months of heated debate within the ruling coalition you show the country's health minister at the front of the move the research shows there is a need for the possibility of active life terminations among doctors and parents of terminally ill children who are suffering hopelessly number and will die in the foreseeable future. the current dutch law 'd permits euthanasia for babies under one year and children over 12 consent from parents is mandatory in both cases while children aged 16 or 17 need only inform their parents of the if the new rules would also require parental consent on the approval of 2 doctors
4:22 pm
euthanasia for adults meanwhile was legalised in the netherlands almost 2 decades ago. it actually accounts for a sizeable proportion 4 percent of the total number of deaths in the netherlands so out of more than $6000.00 cases the majority involve terminal conditions we put the government's new plans up for debate. there's 2 things that have got to find one is how long someone's got to live and the other is how unbearable the suffering really is and both of those things get watered down over time in oregon for example terminally ill has been watered down to you know you require some medical treatment to sustain your life which means even diabetes is classified as terminally ill where people can live for decades with diabetes this is what essentially they don't know exactly what you know ounce the definitions of what causes what is terminally ill what is unbearable and this kind of thing and that the fact they will think it down now to children as well shows exactly the slippery slope that happens when you
4:23 pm
legalize euthanasia in this kind of way it's absolutely nonsense what you say it autumn patient with having diabetes will not be helped in his suicide just because he has said this if there is a diabetes it by suffering but it's certainly not the reason and this is to wait a post a preachin is talking about outlaw i think even the suggestion to young children maybe dying is the right option it's just going to very very very disturbing for their children and and just provoke anxiety i think children what you have what will happen here is children will feel pressured to die pressured to allow people to kill them what an awful thought that is and then parents as well feeling pressured to kill their children or allow their children to be killed i think if you don't want to have euthanasia you're not going to ask 3 you won't get it will get absolutely perfect health care is a little incentive nautical it is nonsense to say that it is suggested to patients that they should make a choice for deaths it is not one of the nicest thing for
4:24 pm
a doctor to do to help his patient die but sometimes it's the only way out it's not nonsense at all the many reported cases where patients have felt pressured you know because doctors have said you know we can't maybe we can't treat you for this and so you should think about euthanasia obvious thought about euthanasia and don't suit repeatedly said that to patients and they felt the pressure of it give me a quote to that article i have never read. what you set it is just something you think or you believe which is happening or maybe there have been cases where this has happened i must say that we are sacred but it is certainly not the general our outlaws practice in the netherlands how with this practiced in oregon how does practice in belgium in luxembourg and canada and right now i mean what we've found consistently in surveys of doctors is that people who are actually policy of care doctors do not support euthanasia they're the ones who know that pain can be alleviated euthanasia is is not the right way round everyone agrees that this is a wrong thing to do to terminate life in this kind of way you are perseverant in
4:25 pm
saying something which is not right if there are situation to alleviate pain by periods of care how doctors do that but we are talking in this kind of cases of patients who are suffering so much where the suffering can not be alleviated. it is much more humane to help somebody die peacefully by yes of course by the hands of a doctor or by giving medication. iran has claimed a diplomatic victory over the u.s. after the united nations conventional arms embargo expired on sunday once the spike washington's efforts to have it extended. a momentous day for the international community which in defiance of malign u.s. efforts has protected you in a sea resolutions and the g. scipio a today's normalization of iran's defense cooperation with the world is a win for the cause of multilateralism peace and security in our region well the un

community. is correct it iran has been following the j c p o a and. they do not recognize the fact that the us backed out of it doesn't change that they are still committed to it and so they are going to start dealing with iran and i think the us has isolated itself by the way it's driving me to iran in by unilaterally backing out of this deal i think iran in general is pretty self sustainable they've had to be because they've been under incredible sanctions really since 979 since the shah the u.s. backed shah was overthrown and so they've had to create their own industries they make everything down to nails you know so i do think they're largely self-sufficient but of course there's different high tech technology that they need from other countries like russia and china that they will get. don't trump
