4:04 pm
mayor working there was nice and it was located in a neighborhood without any problems or violence by i don't think this act of terror is a crazy man city but a premeditated act meanwhile 13 french regions have announced a plan to issue a book to schools depicting the most prominent religious and political characters collected from the press the local authorities the way to involve the ministry of education so the book is eventually available to all students across the country yang is to promote the secular values of france however counterterrorism specialist chris phillips has believed the french government needs to decide where it stands regarding the sanctity of some religions. what is going to go one way or the other you go to either except that's all that some religions are sacrosanct you can't talk about them you can't deal in them all you just say look this is the this is the values that we live in the next country either accept it or don't live here and
4:05 pm
to some extent i think the french you know i think they're quite strong of this. and whilst it may. some extent i think some people have got to make a choice do they believe in that speech really 'd you know freedom religions of all kinds all do they want to live somewhere else and i think that's a situation that france could be coming to very quickly. now the count is under way in presidential elections in bolivia exit polls do indicate a win for the we are say the country's former economy minister and prominent supporter of the act of president evo morales who is now praising the new changes in the country. well what do you have on the bolivian people have given a lesson in democracy and perseverance people have managed to resist the coup a defacto government to massacres and administration of the pandemic marked by inefficiency corruption several election postponements and the worst economic crisis in our history. and it does seem to me that many believe means had grown
4:06 pm
weary of an almost of endless protests and changes we got reaction from some of them. you know we want to leave peacefully without roadblocks and protests a new leader for a new believe. we want the president to help the countryside the poor people we don't want any right wingers. i feel happy happy because we want economic stability we want peace in bolivia we want bolivia to be reflected abroad again as a growing country. all right let's discuss this now with artie's murray financial who joins us in the studio maria after the 12 months of turbulence that we saw who would have predicted this or yes i can say that this whole election is one big and unfortunately very bitter irony that to believe in people paid a very high price for their winning candidate mr r.c. used to be finance minister under morality he's from his party from his team he's one of his closest people i mean supporters and that comes after almost
4:07 pm
a year of violent turbulence political repression and complete nightmare to be honest the country has been living in after the previous presidential vote the one moral this one was very aggressively and loudly announced as read and you remember as you just said it led to a military coup bloody and violent and deadly and it was in november and some studies show that november became the 2nd deadliest month in terms of civilian deaths caused by state forces since believe it became a democratic country 40 years ago and here's a short video clip to remind our viewers the key points.
4:08 pm
so the organization of american states and known as as was basically leading this whole campaign to block in last year's elections and destroy its results they came out the next day after the vote say it was fraud and elections were rigged and they should be reelection and they took to the streets and they took people to the streets and they continued with other reports continued boiling the situation but they never provided any single avid as what actually they were complaining about after 84 percent of the votes were counted there was an official tally saying that mr morale is. around 46 percent of the votes and he got an 8 point lead but after. the all the votes were counted it was all over there was an official report finally and that lead increase to $10.00 points so it was surprising 4
4:09 pm
for these people but actually it wasn't surprising at all but according to believe is rules that is enough to secure the victory for the candidate in this would happen mr morale is remembered at the time so you in the opposition were saying look we've seen a sudden spike in favor of this right at the end of this election therefore reso bristly rig but there were there was an explanation was a very simple explanation and it's easy and easy to see if you want to see just the thing that the air is reporting later were more prawle morale is and this is why when the last 16 percent of the votes were counted that lead increased soldier man . atika the end by the way that may happen and we've seen that happen in other countries with similar systems like united states of america for example in america by the way was very quick to support the opposition and to welcome what they describe as people's fight for justice and democracy let's take a listen. we salute the courage and strength of oblivion people who have protested
4:10 pm
against a government trying to steal an election we reject this ridiculous claim that the legal modification of a fraudulent election is somehow a coup all countries deserve free fair transparent and credible elections the organization of american states report on believe year makes it clear that believe ins were not given this chance to stop the violence hold elections and the work with the geneva nears and the transitional government to bring democracy back to bring democracy about well ok bolivia seems to have democracy now but that's not how many people have described the last 12 months how many people you say but i can tell you that human rights watch the issued a report just this september and the lies in state in the time when the interim government in believe there was in charge of the country and there is a huge you list of while ations like many examples of how not good and democratic it was and this is why now mr r.c.
4:11 pm
says that after 11 months of this nightmare people are believing i mean they know better what the true democracy is to their own your process during last year's elections some people took to the streets calling for democracy and now 11 months have passed and we don't have democracy and even worse we have a totally destroyed economy so bolivian people can now compare the work of our government during 14 years in the so-called work of this interim government. so any is you understand now what actually happens believe it is now coming back to where it was back in october last year but with so many losses with the soil economy with dad and the question now i think is whether those responsible for pushing the country there will ever ever find ok thank you mary. there with the latest on those election results in bolivia thank you. not just a day after
4:12 pm
a new ceasefire came into force between armenia and azerbaijan air raid sirens have been heard in the capital of the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh the cadbury tried on the truce agreement when both sides accusing each other of violations it follows to a similar pattern seen after the 1st cease fire reached just over a week ago and fighting isn't limited to go on a cutback either as you've done of now explains. it's hard to come across an unfamiliar face on the streets of stupina kurds nagorno-karabakh city having spent weeks here it seems like everyone knows everyone but half of the population has been displaced many have chosen to flee far less taking their chances in choosing to stay it's been more than a week since the 1st ceasefire was signed in moscow and throughout this whole time the exodus continued the truce held only on paper this is one of the worst scenes
4:13 pm
of destruction we've witnessed instapundit during the whole time that we've been here basically a whole half of the house has been demolished by a huge bomb it didn't come from the drone that's for sure because the drone strikes don't leave craters as big as the one over there here it seems used to be a small storage unit or some storage facility judging by a huge pile of firewood over here instapundit kurt alone this is only one of dozens of houses raised by the bombs of troops the destruction skills up across the read. in every major town and many villages have also been shelled so when the 2nd ceasefire was announced locals here took it almost like a mockery he meaning you most there is no way the conflict can be solved peacefully or many years did live here so you're in this very few years they had to somehow resolve the conflict. what can i say about people who have no idea of humanity it
4:14 pm
is a pity that we are dealing with barbarians and terrorists i think that the ordinary zebra johnny people the civilians do not want war just like we don't want it but if their leader wants their people to die let them die our boys will defend our homeland. the fighting has long spilled beyond the borders of nagorno karabakh the ceasefire didn't save the cities from the shelling to notably bombs rained down on the civilian areas over here by jan 2nd city of ganja just like armenians azerbaijanis share a religious belief that nagorno-karabakh belongs to them. regardless of the ceasefire the armenians continue to attack us they shot civilians in marketeer and ganja countries around the world turn a blind diet of these violations powerful nations should not tolerate this but they openly support them both armies are ready to exterminate each other if need be and the diplomatic effort however large it might be can only do so much and because
4:15 pm
done of reporting from the going to care about r.c. well control over the corner cutting back is being contested for decades with a conflict bursting back into life at the end of september although the region is legally part of it is populated mainly by ethnic armenians as we've heard is a big cities have also come under shelling despite all of the recent agreements a local journalist brings us the latest now from the assyrian region of ag. at tweed knives limits to geneva when it's a truce came into force how well were people in the walls along and. they're not true legs while stime ceasefire was broken off the call for an hour so close by renewed side the transitional houses insufferable through its entirety to the seas for was broken again starting on the cells feasibly and jabber allusions in the late afternoon i've done under fire. i am
4:16 pm
a soldier's mother when i heard the news about the ceasefire i called my relatives and complained about this decision we must go to the very end and liberate all our lands we fear nothing living near the present line and knock them. down because we believe in our soldiers and president if they say they should be peaceful resolution then we do not want this war we want our lands back no matter whether it's at the negotiating table or through war. i was fighting against armenia in the early ninety's at that time armenians also proclaimed cease fires but never observed them and occupied new territories where we want to expect to get it's the same thing now they talk about a ceasefire to shoot at civilians we live in. the ceasefire didn't even start there is no ceasefire i haven't seen it. so to come in the war against them all basically has taken it's taken
4:17 pm
a significant chunk out of the mafia zama after arresting scores of alleged bosses there we'll have the details just after this break. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by those.
4:18 pm
who dares thinks. we dare to ask. for it. but i welcome back watching out international now fun and has erupted at a protest in chile marking one year of antigovernment rallies. it was the church more than a century old was set on fire and as firefighters were battling the flames there the steeple collapsed and crowd strengthened police then moved in with water cannon
4:19 pm
to break up the protests meanwhile there were similar scenes in the czech republic . this time no around 2000 football and hockey fans protested in prague the government's decision to suspend sporting events for 2 weeks in response to rising cohabit infections police use force disperse demonstrations and at least 20 people were said to be wounded. the holiday when go single has come back to play but not in one part of italy at the moment matters because halloween celebrations have been cancelled over coded. lowing nyquist means halloween this is this immense idiocy this immense stupid american extravagance that we've imported into our country that's it's halloween is a monument to imbecility as well since we have to face the reality and since i feel that people are already getting ready to have parties everything will be closed on
4:20 pm
halloween from 10 o'clock and there will be a curfew. where we took to the streets to see how italians feel about these latest restrictions to condoms. in my opinion it's stupid to think that closing all the nightclubs will stop people from gathering because we can regroup in another place . i agree to his deluca even before corbett in my view it's a pretty silly holiday where catholics you know this is america celebration is not appropriate to me. but i think it's a mistake halloween has become a good holiday here in italy and it helps the economy it's a good thing for the city for young people that want to have fun and for everyone. i think that we can avoid these holidays because of the groan of virus these are useless holidays a group that honestly i'm not sorry for it we can stay home during this phase maybe next year we can go out and enjoy this holiday if there is a vaccine. i want to stay with partly because more than
4:21 pm

4:22 pm
as it comes arse for racket money you know in the same neighborhood where i work now but in another one called kappos one of the matthews debt collectors had been around more than once threatening the workers and myself as well as back then i filmed everything with a hidden camera i'm after you asking me for money i turned it over to the police and so the investigation began this this time around it gave me some satisfaction to do it for those who are victims of the math here and have never been able to fight back for lack of courage because they were simply afraid. and estimated $94.00 matthew clans in sicily they mostly operate initially saying historically the poorest part of the country and areas of activity include explosion drug trafficking and also illegal gambling. am i afraid of course there is fear obviously what i did this 2nd time i'm exposed to my family at risk and
4:23 pm
that's no trivial matter i always thank the palermo police they are fantastic i feel protected by them because even if i don't see them i know they are there i feel protected but i have to say it's not the police escort that makes the difference protection must come from the citizens protection comes if we all become the majority if we are not the minority even the police cannot provide protection and unfortunately that's what history teaches us given all the victims of the mafia . finally controversy over whether transgender athletes should be allowed to compete against female competitors has been reignited it could come after british t.v. personality piers morgan applauded the decision to ban trans women from taking part in international women's rugby. how can that even be a debate about transgender women playing women's rugby it's so obviously wrong unfair and equal and dangerous to women want to smaller less powerful female
4:24 pm
biological bodice we all know this women will get seriously hurt to this insanity that prevails the approach taken by world rugby shows a fundamental lack of understanding of what it means to be a trans athlete inclusion matters moral do rugby has an acted there discriminatory policy preventing transgender participation in their events this will be battled and the eliza ship shown by the women's rag big community is a manse and heart warming for that i'm going to leave their voices well this all comes after world rugby the sport's global governing body ruled that there were safety and fairness concerns about letting transgender athletes participate it said that women would be putting their health risk competing against someone who was born as a male since transgender athletes were allowed in the 2004 olympic games there have been a number of cases where transact leitz competing against women have been disqualified or stripped of their medals we put the issue for debate. lots of different
4:25 pm
athletes will have advantages because of various physical attributes why should we single out the potential advantages a trans woman have while ignoring the other advantages that other women have that it's not fair they're men biologically men born as men they're men they've got a huge advantage over women the people at the radical men's movement in trans are the militant arm they're trying to demean women and they're trying to devalue the female sport it's unfair it's wrong and it shouldn't be allowed trans women. there's no real scientific evidence that they have an advantage what science there is is disputed and the degree advantage is very minimal if you now put a man in a show biologically born man into female piers morgan is absolutely right this time will get mass injuries it's a ludicrous suggestion of course there is
4:26 pm
a risk of injury but there are rules and also among trans women rugby players some are small some are large already women are at risk of injury this is quite an aggressive sport the world order to be union is against this england is the english rugby union who are being really politically correct in saying it's ok but not international level up to international level they're saying that this nonsense can carry on washing out international thanks to the company saving we'll have more news in the headlines in about half an. the be.
