of chechen origin benefited from a refugee status and lived in year ever in the year he was unknown to the intelligence services on a judicial level he's never been convicted but was known for cases of damaging public property and gang violence while still a minor el is leading up to that atrocity he went to the school and asked people to point out some real patty was so it does appear that he didn't know the victim himself beforehand the national antiterrorism prosecutor also outlined the details of the individuals who've been arrested in connection with this terror attack they into parents and grandparents of the younger brother old the 18 year old assailant and also a parent older student 2 had apparently post debate here on facebook in the last few weeks calling for the teach it to be dismissed as a result of showing those care pictures of the prophet mohammed and to do that

because for him and we end this stand that in the days leading up to this decapitation there will 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 in senegal patti's cost in the field 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 but i don't want to shock you delegates will do and i think you see where it's an attack here normally nothing ever happened here and now a teacher has been decapitated our children on safe we don't know what to do 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
10:05 pm
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 a mortal capital sin 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 last 3 weeks and both of those attacks related to the images of the slim profit the present medical an outline course he wants to do with the draft law d.t. percentage before the end of 2020 he said that 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 closer scrutiny all schools and associations serves religious communities and that arabic will now be true in mainstream schools rather than in mosques that law is sent by the end if it

10:07 pm
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 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. the paris based political analyst nicholas markovitch believes the deadly incident highlights the refugee crisis unfolding in france because towards the seat out 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
10:08 pm
their background or these people coming from what are their beliefs or what are their motivations why are they coming here. 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 getting people in 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 do you have jobs with them are you going to help them turn french are you going to help them in the culture to appreciate the culture and the culture there definitely is a major 1st no one 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 to show them that there's another way to use them or else we know. majority's and then this is the future of this could be if people within the muslim community don't do anything. just minutes after a new humanitarian ceasefire was reached between armenia and azerbaijan this weekend

any choice but to stay another story. we have to fit in this small shelter with a kitchen and bathroom 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 rules of the church people for peace to return to this land sooner rather than later because donovan poaching from the going to come back. 3 decades of tensions between bako and your evolved over the territory boiled over at the end of september the 2 sides have been trading accusations of attacks blaming each other for civilian casualties and damage inflicted although the region is legally part of azerbaijan it's populated mainly by ethnic armenians and the azerbaijani foreign ministry insists it belongs to them adding though that ownership doesn't exclude some degree

10:18 pm
this navigation sign says cobbett 19 vaccine clinical trial is this way. maybe i received a placebo because this is a so-called double blind trial meaning neither the doctors know their participants know who's getting it was only 75 percent of the volunteers are getting jabbed with a real shot and i hope i'm among them and i have reasons to believe i really am i'll explain why i got the 1st shot exactly 21 days ago i felt really miserable the next day headache muscle pain for the vaccine developers say every 6 volunteer or face a similar side effect by the way they faded away 48 hours or so later today i'm going to get the 2nd dose of what could be the most awaited drug in the world why to bolster the immune response to but if the form is off to the 1st shot before being

10:20 pm
a trial of this role. that's it i'm done well they had to abort you where the vaccine is made has by the founder of russia is expected to be able to produce up to 6000000 doses monthly bring in russia closer to her even unity in the. hoxsey from moscow. in the netherlands euthanasia for terminally ill children aged between $1.12 could soon become legal in cases where palliative care does little to ease suffering that's after the government approved plans for a change to the law an issue that's seen months of heated debate here's how the country's health minister defended the move the research shows that is the need for the possibility of active life terminations among doctors and parents of terminally ill children who are suffering hopelessly a number and will die in the foreseeable future current dutch law permits euthanasia for babies under one and children over 12 consent from parents is
10:21 pm
mandatory in those cases but not for teenagers aged 16 or 17 they need only to inform their guardians those children between $1.12 though will need both doctor and parental consent if the new rules are in acted just to note euthanasia for adults was legalised in the netherlands almost 2 decades ago euthanasia accounts for a sizeable 4 percent of the total number of deaths in the netherlands out of more than $6000.00 cases the majority involved 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 or 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 without p.t.s. this is what essentially did it on the edge that's absolutely announce the
10:22 pm
definitions of what causes what is terminally ill what is unbearable and this kind of thing and the fact they will think it down now to children as well shows exactly the slippery slope that happens when you legalize euthanasia in this kind of way it's absolutely nonsense what you say it out of them basement with having diabetes will not be helped in his suicide just because he has to die 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 those 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 for it you won't get it
10:23 pm
you will get absolutely perfect health care in the netherlands and in 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 a doctor to do to help his patients die but sometimes it's the only way out it's not nonsense at all or 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 dots of 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 still something you think or you believe which is happening and maybe there have been cases where this has happened and i must say that we are sacred but it is certainly not the general our outlaws practice in the netherlands how it is practiced in oregon how does practice 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
10:24 pm
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 perseverance in 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 in such cases it is much more humane to help somebody die peacefully by yes of course by the hands of a doctor by giving medication. now back to geopolitics iran has claimed a diplomatic victory over the u.s. after the united nations conventional arms embargo expired on sunday that's despite 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. today's normalization of iran's defense cooperation with the world is a win for the cause of multilateralism peace and security in the region the un arms embargo on iran was imposed in 2007 by the un security council but an expiration date was set if iran fulfilled its obligations under the nuclear deal struck with world powers known as the j c p o a washington however quit that deal in 2018 and since then the us has been trying to maintain the embargo and wanted a so-called snap back of the old sanctions that had previously been lifted the state department reacted angrily to the news of the embargoes expiration no nation that desires a peaceful middle east should contemplate cells with a run every weapon the regime buys will be at the disposal of its radical ideology we are prepared to use domestic authorities to sanction individuals or entities contributing to these arms sales labor and human rights lawyer dan koval access

many countries feel around has complied with the obligations. i think the international community. is correct it ron has been following the j c l a and. they do not recognize the fact the u.s. 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 tried to treat 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

debate usually focuses on how immoral or entrenched it is and while it is definitely in both of those things it's hard to quantify the. impact just what is the price of prejudice and who's responsible for their passion rating or ending it all to discuss that i'm now joined by sean rochester author all the black tags the cost of being black in america and there are just 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 there and for a gay gene this really important conversation now in your book you excited a number of studies on discrimination in the job market all of which are pretty distressing but the one that blew me away completely was all the fact remains why it's sounding names versus black sounding names who would know that this interest.
