nationality and 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 who sound 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 the 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 teach it to be dismissed as a result of showing those care pictures of the prophet mohammed and to do that
11:04 pm
because frame we end this stand that in the days leading up to this decapitation there will many threats that were being made against ringback 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 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 happened to him and now a teacher has been decapitated our children on safe we don't know what to do now 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
11:05 pm
needed to be taken and also there was condemnation 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 they have been there 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 the present medical an outline course he wants to do with the draft rudy to be presented 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 through is going to close a scrutiny all schools and associations serve religious communities and that arabic will now be true in mainstream schools rather than in mosques that law is sent by
11:06 pm
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 3 quarters of those who responded who are under the age of $25.00 said that they would put their religion above that all of the republic this attack has. a huge fear now particularly amongst teaches you may have to give similar classes to that of several parties and this is the raised my. questions about what's being done in the moment is actually enough to prevent this sort of radicalization leads to such extreme brutality or to spoke to the former mayor of the town where the atrocity took place should. he should proceed i'm shocked and angered because this is complete madness a teacher doing their job giving food for thoughts about freedoms and republican
11:07 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 cards 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 nicola markovitch believes the deadly incident highlights the refugee crisis unfolding in france. because too early to see now what type of check was done when these refugees come
11:08 pm
into france what kind of check does france do have with the do but to say their background or these people coming from what are their beliefs or what are their motivations why are they coming here 'd. do they belong to any specific organizations i think this definition shows 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 plan are you going to help them integrate are you going to do you have jobs with them are you going to help them to learn french are you going to help them to wait in the culture to appreciate the culture to earn 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 to push them the muslim community has a responsibility has to come these people doubt it has to show them that there's another way to us we know small minorities take over me you move majorities and then this is where the future of this stuff could be if people if people within the muslim community don't do anything. just minutes after

11:17 pm

now 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 to change the law an issue that's seen months of heated debate you saw the country's health minister defended the move the research shows there's a 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 show and children over 12 consent from parents is mandatory in those cases but not for teenagers aged 16 and 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 now acted just to note euthanasia for adults was legalized 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
11:20 pm
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 or in oregon for example terminally ill has been watered down to do 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 r.p. this is what essentially they don't know exactly what you know around 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 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 to die if there is a diabetes it by suffering but it's certainly not the reason and this is to wait
11:21 pm
a post a preachin is talking about i think even the suggestion to young children maybe dying is their option is 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 for it you won't get it will get absolutely perfect health care in the middle unscented 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 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 have you thought about euthanasia and
11:22 pm
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 still something you think or you believe which is happening maybe there have been cases where it is 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 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 around everyone agrees that this is a wrong thing to do to terminate life in this kind of way you are perseverant 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
11:23 pm

i'm afshin rattansi i'm going underground as the us senate reconvenes amid the worst coronavirus death toll in the world and a presidential election that arguably will do little to change things going on the show yesterday's man with just over 2 weeks until the u.s. presidential election we investigate the legacy of joe biden from prisons in the war on drugs to the supreme court battle scars be playing out across the mainstream media and ask if his potential victory in 2 weeks will do anything to fix the united states and how aware all we have one specific quote of joe biden's legacy
11:29 pm
his support for the patriot act which authorizes the mass of valence of the u.s. population we speak to award winning photographer jeff minimal stein about the death of our privacy all of them all coming up in today's going on the ground the 1st way just over 2 weeks away from a u.s. presidential election that will take place amid a global pandemic a looming economic catastrophe and an impending climate crisis the man leading in the polls or had it all trump like his predecessor hillary clinton is joe biden a seasoned senator who some in the united states see as a potential return to normal after 4 years of trump but is he really the solution the united states needs or has his nearly 50 years in politics been emblematic of the problems that have led the country to this stage for mass incarceration in the war on drugs. 2 imperialism in your book yesterday's man the case against joe biden looks at the veterans had his career all the way back to his days as a public defender and its author brigham architecture joins me now via skype from cancun ranker thanks so much for coming on biden favored to become president in
11:30 pm
november he supported by bernie sanders no i'm chomskyan angela davis have been on this show at telling people to support biden tell me about the terrifying record of biden in your new book or the main trolling biden is that he has been very conservative throughout his entire career and really kind of. created the conditions in many ways that led to trump's rise. which i think is kind of. the main worry with him is is is he going to be able to step up to the plate and meet the mormon now not just with the pen demo can be and there is a tradition as having but also as you say the climate crisis which is easily the the greatest threat facing human civilization the question is going to be radical nuff going to be bold enough to take the kind of steps and styluses you have to be don't demean those crises you know at the moment trying simply is not.
