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 the new president will be the man who supported the previous ousted one. testing the truce shells continued to fall in the ongoing territorial disputes 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 call though not everybody is upset. this in their consideration is not appropriate to me it's

a mistake how do we know has become a good holiday here in italy these are useless holy days honestly i don't know superfluity. just past 4 am here at r t international's 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 put into 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 set 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 been taking place across flat across france hundreds gathered and to lose suddenly old to crying violence and supporting freedom of speech and 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 concerned person of russian nationality and of chechen origin benefited from a refugee status and lived in you have read these he was unknown to the intelligence services on a judicial level he's never to be convicted but was known for cases of 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 . to not shield them he explained i'd prefer if you left because i'm going to show weaker tune of the prophet of islam i don't want to shock you.

i'm even more shocked that this college is one i opened when i was the town mayor working there was nice and it was located in a neighborhood without any problems or violence i don't think that 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 caricature is collected from the press the local authorities aim to involve the ministry of education so the book is eventually 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 right you can 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 to some extent i think the french you know i think they're quite strong of 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 koans all do they want to live somewhere else and i think that's the situation the french could be coming to very quickly. now in latin america the counts under way for presidential elections in bolivia exit polls indicate a win for luis our say the country's former economic minister and prominent supporter of the ousted president evo morales who is now praising the new changes in the country. and 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 had grown weary of almost a year of endless protests and changes we heard some reactions from them. 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 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. earlier artie's maria for national 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 lead in this

whole complaint of black in last year's elections after 84 percent of the votes were counted there was an unofficial 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 look 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 supports their 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 grab 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 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 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 in the i mean they know better what the true democracy. to the new 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 of daniel schorr senior research fellow at the council on hemispheric affairs told us who will not be happy 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 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. the right wing forces supported by the us are going to do everything to push back against us against our cities 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 the ink barely had time to dry on the new truce agreement when

both sides accused each other of violations that follows a similar pattern seen after the 1st cease fire was reached just over a week ago and fighting isn't just limited to nagorno-karabakh as eager as donna reports. it's hard to come across an unfamiliar face on the streets of stupina niggling 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 drones. trikes 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 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 during this very few years they had to somehow resolve the conflict or struggle at that with 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 irrational 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 us there 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 diety 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 it has done of reporting from the going to karabakh see. control over nagorno-karabakh 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 nick armenians and as we've heard ours or by johnny cities have also come under shelling despite all of the recent agreements a local journalist brings us the latest from the region of august. at tweed knives in its true dream from an italian troops came into force how will people in the wall song and. then not relax while stime cease fire was broken after call for an hour or so close by read inside with residential houses in south of us who lived in taught to the seas for was broken again starting on the cells feasibly and jabber allusions in the late afternoon of dung came 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 and liberate all our lands we fear nothing living near the present line and knock them off one of. them

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 fire 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 and the ceasefire didn't even start there is no ceasefire i haven't seen it. in the war against the mob italy's hoping it's taken a significant chunk out of the mafia's armor after arresting scores of alleged bosses more on that after the short break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race when it is often spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. show seemed wrong but all wrong just don't call. me. yet to shape out just to become educated and in against me equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

welcome back to the program now hollowing is a holiday when ghosts and goals come out to play but not in one part of italy that's because following celebrations have been cancelled over covert. nyquist main salaried sees this immense idiocy this immense stupid american extravagance that we have imported into our country that's it's 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 a can tease everything will be closed on halloween from 10 o'clock and there will be a curfew. as we took to the streets to see how italians themselves feel about the new restrictions. and you say but 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 the focal of it in my view it's a pretty silly holy day where catholics you know this and their consideration is not appropriate to me and so you know says by god 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 events so. i think that we can avoid these holidays because of the coronavirus these are useless holy days a group with 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. now staying on the italian peninsula more than a dozen suspected mobsters have been arrested in sicily it comes after a businessman secretly recorded and allegedly mafia extortionists trying to force

him to pay protection money. he'll come back away from. the norm you know no one. likes. to go up in. the business man who fell the video refused to pay and confronted the alleged extortion messed with photos of to prominence a salient judge is murdered by the mafia the businessman is among $13.00 a legit racket victims who have spoken out. in $28.00 i'd already been threatened by the mafia as it comes off for racket money in the same neighborhood where i work now but in another $1.00 called cap 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 a mafia asking me for money i turned it over to the police and so the investigation began this time around it gave me some satisfaction to do it for those who are victims of the mafia and have never been able to fight back for lack of courage because there was simply afraid. there are an estimated $94.00 mafia families in sicily they mostly operate in italy's self historically the poorest part of the country their main areas of expertise include extortion drug trafficking and illegal gambling. my 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 thank the polo my 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 and school 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. now in other news controversy over whether transgender athletes should be allowed to compete against female competitors has been reignited and it comes after british t.v. personality piers morgan applauded the decision to ban trans women from taking part in international women's rugby. can even be a debate about transgender women playing women's rugby it's so old this li room equal and dangerous to women want to smaller less powerful female biological bodegas we all know this woman will get seriously hurt to this insanity 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 a battle it 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 solid comes after world rugby the sports 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 complete competing against women 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 we single out the potential advantages

a trans women have while ignoring the other advantages that other women have that it's not fair their men biologically men born as men there are men they've got a huge advantage over women the people at the radical men's movement in the trans arm 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 because you now put a man in a show biologically born man into females 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 trans women roughly players some are small some are large already women are

a risk of injury this is quite an aggressive sport the world or a b. union is against this england it's the english rugby union who are being really politically correct in saying it's ok but not checked into national level international level they're saying that this nonsense can carry on. you can find your latest updates on your world news stories that are 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 again. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in
