text its own existence is. taking a stand against radicalism thousands rally across france in the wake of friday's brutal murder of a history teacher reportedly killed for showing his class controversial cartoons of the prophet muhammad. even without all the votes counted the opposition throws in the towel in bolivia's election it means that the new president will be the man who supported the previous ousted one. testing the truce shells continue to fall in the ongoing territorial dispute between armenia and azerbaijan despite both sides agreeing to a 2nd ceasefire. and go to hell traditional hollowing celebrations in one part of italy have become the latest victim of the pandemic although not everybody is upset . this in their consideration is not appropriate to me it's

a mistake that we can do is become a good holiday here in italy these are useless hooligans honestly i know so it was . just past 3 am here at our international headquarters in moscow i'm donald quarter bringing you more of the latest news stories from around the world welcome to the program now raids on suspected islamic radicals have been carried out across france in the wake of friday's brutal beheading of a teacher they come as part of a crackdown promised by the interior minister. more than 80 investigations for online hatred have been opened arrests have already taken place since yesterday since this morning police operations have taken place and will take place in the coming days we've also decided that around 50 associative structures 51 to be exact will see a certain number of visits from state services all week long and several of them at

my suggestion will be dissolved in the council of ministers. meanwhile thousands gathered in paris on sunday paying tribute to the teacher and denouncing the incident as an attack on the country's secular values vigils have taken place across france hundreds gathered to lose and we'll decrying violence and supporting freedom of speech national tribute to the teachers planned for wednesday here's how the events unfolded. uncle said one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compassion it was the victim of an islamist terror attack.

in syria and this in the consent process of russian nationality and of chechen origin benefited from a refugee status and lived in you have right. he was not known to the intelligence services on a judicial level he's never to be convicted the last node for cases in damaging public property and gang violence while still a mind. to do. he asked muslim children to raise their hands 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 shield them he explains 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. i'm

even more shocked that this college is one eye opener. it was the town mayor working there was nice and it was located in a neighborhood without any problems or violence by i don't think that this act of terror is a crazy man 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 caricature is collected from the press the local authorities aim to involve the ministry of education so the book is eventual e available to all students across the country the aim is to promote secular french values and counter-terrorism expert chris phillips believes the french government needs to decide where it stands regarding the sanctity of some religions. which is going to go one way or the other you go to either accept. that some religions are sacrosanct you can't talk about them you can't deal with them or 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 and to some extent i think the french you know i think they're quite strong on this. and whilst it may inflame tensions to some extent i think some people have got to make a choice do they believe in freedom of speech really to freedom to religions of all kinds all do they want to live somewhere else and i think that's the situation the french could be coming to very quickly. and the council under way for presidential elections in bolivia exit polls indicate a win for lewis are say the country's former economic minister and prominent supporter of the ousted president a former alice who is now praising the new changes in the country. the bolivian people have given a lesson in democracy and perseverance people have managed to resist the coup de facto government to massacres and administration of the pandemic marked by inefficiency corruption several election postponements and the worst economic

crisis in our history. well it seems many bolivians have grown weary of almost a year of endless protests and changes we heard from some of them and their reactions. you know we want to leave peacefully without roadblocks and protests and a new leader for a new believe. we want a president who helps the countryside the poor people who we don't want any right wingers want then 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. earlier artie's maria phenomena discuss the details with my colleague andrew farmer. 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.a. used to be finance minister on the morale is that he's from his party from his team he's one of his closest people i mean supporters and that comes after almost 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 in loudly announced as 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. so the organization of american states and known as as was basically leading this whole campaign to blacken last year's elections 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 10.5 points the opposition was saying that we've seen a sudden spike in favor of this right at the end of this election therefore result bristly rigged but there were there was an explanation it was a very simple explanation the air is reporting later we're more for all morality and this is why when the last 16 percent of the vote. what counted that lead increased so dramatically and why do 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 a position 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 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 gretel 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 jenny the new years and the transitional government to bring democracy back. bring democracy well ok bolivia seems to have democracy now but that's not how many people have described the last 12 months to human rights watch they issued a report just to 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 violations like many examples of how not good and proper and democratic it was and this is why now mr r.c.

says that after 11 months of this nightmare people on the media i mean they know better what the true democracy is to than your press 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 people can now compare the work of our government during 14 years in the so-called work of this interim government believe it is now coming back to where it was back in october last year but with so many losses with destroyed economy with dad you know and the question now i think is whether those responsible for pushing the country there will ever ever respond daniel schorr senior research fellow at the council on hemispheric affairs told us who will be unhappy about these election results. b m e s the movement towards socialism never ceased to be popular but the cool mongers the neo liberal forces with the support of. truong the pentagon the state

department here in washington and in the right wing forces across the continent head the upper hit this is an amazing victory for the overwhelmingly indigenous the vast majority of bolivians who are indigenous but we should not expect that this political victory translates overnight into an economic victory. and the right wing forces supported by the us are going to do everything to push back against the m.e.'s against the city's victory in the people's victory so this is going to continue to play out in the course of the next hour as the months and years. now despite a new cease fire coming into force between armenia and azerbaijan on sunday night air raid sirens have been heard in the capital of the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh in could barely dried on the new truce agreement when both sides accused each other violations it follows a similar pattern seen after the 1st cease fire was reached just over

a week ago and fighting isn't just limited to mcgauran a car a buck don of reports. it's hard to come across an unfamiliar face on the streets of stupina new going account backs largest 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 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. raters as big as the one over there here it seems used to be a small storage unit or some storage facility judging by huge pile of firewood over

here instapundit alone this is only one of dozens of houses raised by the bombs of truce the destruction scales up across the region 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 of there is no way the conflict can be solved peacefully a man is did live here so if you're in this very 2 years they had to somehow resolve the conflict or still get them out what can i say about people who have no idea of humanity it is a pity that we are dealing with barbarians and terrorists i think that the ordinary is a by 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 of ours thereby john's 2nd city of ganja just like armenians as they are by journeys share a religious belief that nagorno-karabakh belongs to them. regardless of the ceasefire the armenians continue to attack us they shout 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 a diplomatic effort however large it might be can only do so much damage done of reporting from the going to karabakh artsy. control over not going to has been contested for decades with the conflict bursting back into life at the end of september although the region is legally part of azerbaijan it's populated mainly by ethnic armenians and as we've heard many cities have also come under shelling

despite all the recent agreements a local journalist brings us the latest from the region of og dom. at tweed knives limits to the military and troops came into force how well were people in the walls the long and. the no 2 legs while stime ceasefire was broken after call for an hour or so close by read inside the presidential houses in south lebanon through each in taught to the seas for was broken again starting on the cells feasibly and jabber allegiance in the late afternoon of dung under fire. i am 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 liberate all our lands we fear nothing living near the product 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 i mean eons also proclaimed ceasefire but never observed them and occupied new territories when 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. in the war against abel he's hoping it's taken a significant chunk out of the mafia's armor after arrests after arresting scores of alleged bosses more on that after this short break. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by the one percent of those great.

no dares thinks. we dare to ask. anyone else to show seemed wrong but. just don't call. me. yet to shape out this day become educated and indeed from it because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

welcome back to the program now hollowing is the holiday when ghosts and goals come out to play but not in one part of italy that's because celebrations have been cancelled over cove it. nyquist mains halloween's is this immense idiocy this immense stupid american extravagance that we have imported into our country that says halloween is a monument to imbecility 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 halloween from 10 o'clock and there will be a curfew. we took to the streets to see how italians feel about these new restrictions. and 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 is deluca even before call of it in my view is a pretty silly holy day where catholics you know this america's liberation is not appropriate to me and so you know 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 coronavirus 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. more than a dozen suspected mobsters have been arrested incessantly it comes after a businessman secretly recorded an alleged mafia extortionist trying to force him to pay protection money.

you know the. businessman who filmed the video refused to pay and confronted the alleged extortionist with photos of to prominence the silly and judges murdered by the mafia the businessman is among $13.00 allegedly racket victims who have spoken out. you know there's so little stop the in 2018 i'd already been threatened by the mafia as it comes off for rocket money you know in the same neighborhood where i work now but in another one called camp one of the matthews debt collectors had been around more than once threatening the workers and myself as well back then i filmed everything with a hidden camera to match the money i turned 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 mass and i've never been able to fight back for lack of coverage because there was simply afraid. there are an estimated $94.00 mafia families in sicily they mostly operate in italy's south historically the poorest part of the country their main areas of expertise include extortion drug trafficking and illegal gambling. i'm afraid of course there is fear obviously what i did the 2nd time i'm exposed to my family at risk and that's no trivial matter i always think the problem with 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 for she that's what history teaches us given all the victims of the mafia. which now the news controversy over whether transgender athletes should be allowed to compete against female competitors has been reignited it comes after a 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 old this leigh wrong unfair and equal and dangerous to women want to smaller less powerful female biological board we all know this woman 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 driveby has an acted their discriminatory

policy preventing transgender participation in their events this will be battled and the eliza ship shown by the women's rugby community is a man's and heart warming for that i'm going to leave their voices this all comes after world rugby the sports gold global governing body ruled there were safety and fairness concerns about letting transgender athletes participate it said women would be putting their health at risk competing against someone who was born male. since transgender athletes were allowed in the 2004 olympic games there have been a number of cases where trans athletes competing against women who have been disqualified or stripped of their medals we put the issue up for debate lots of different athletes will have advantages because of various physical attributes why should be singled out the potential advantages a trans women have while ignoring the other advantages that other women have that is not fair their men a bottle biologically men born as men their men have got

a huge advantage over women the people at the radical men's movement in the trans-am the militant 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 under degree advantage is very minimal because you now put a man so full logically bull man into female piers morgan is absolutely right this time will get mass injuries it's a ludicrous suggestion of course there is a risk of injury but there are rules and also among fans will rub the players some are small some are large already women are at risk of injury this is quite an aggressive sport the world order of b.

union is against this england is the english rugby union who are being really politically correct in saying it's ok but not check into a national level international level they're saying that this nonsense can carry on . now a quick look at some world news making headlines violence erupted at a protest in chile a marking one year of anti-government rallies. i . a church more than one century old was torched as firefighters were battling the flames the steeple collapsed when crowds strengthened police moved in with water cannons to break up the protests meanwhile in the czech republic. around 2000 football and hockey fans protested in prague at the government's decision to suspend sporting events for 2 weeks in response to rising covert

infections police used force to disperse the demonstrations and at least 20 people were said to have been women. you could find the latest updates on your world news stories at r.t. dot com or by following our international on your favorite social media platforms i'll be back in just about half an hour thanks for watching and hope to see you then. know when i'm going to be out there still i don't think of that a lot of it i don't mean a distant room and. i kind of what i want the only course if

not the now i think it's higher than the. members of the african mafias them safe and quick passage to europe but once they. leave they are enslaved they coude speech util. will know some of the libya mom and i couldn't you know if this unit can get it out. from the cinquera mainly out of the they sold the. belief that it's all on court of the united. because the persona that i can't even use cubby didn't want me to lend.

. it we'll see what happens. i always say who knows what we'll see and the film will be a success. the government has to determine which zones is it going to insure and which those is it not going to insure and it does that based on the racial makeup of neighborhoods. neighborhoods that had a certain number of black residents what have literally brad lines drawn around them on the map. and they wouldn't insure mortgages in those areas because they believed that the property is would not hold the baby. banks take up that same practice they decide they're not going to lend in those areas that meant that all these benefits that were flowing to potential homeowners were flowing to whites and not going to minorities. this element of racism into our

ownership culture. problem it's just problem is made most of them up and libel wimbledon don't know that we did it i'm probably going to work with them living 2 doors away so we passed a law in 1968 fair housing act it proclaims that fair housing. is now part of the american way of life. the move. to mass is provided discrimination but to actually affirmatively go out and say how do we do. it so the government betrays. i find as i travel across the country that.
