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 although not everybody is upset . this in their consideration is not appropriate to me it's

a mistake how do we become a good holiday here in italy these are useless holy days honestly i'm not sure if we were. just past 5 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 history 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 sudden 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 secular values. vigils have been taking place across france hundreds gathered to loosen lille to crying violence and supporting freedom of speech national tribute to the teachers planned for wednesday here is how they invent unfolded. the. 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 the last node 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 this. right to not shield them he explained i'd prefer if you left because i'm going to show a week or 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 this act of terror is a crazy man's deed 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 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 philips 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. going to talk about you can't deal with them or you just say look this is that 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 here 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. over the latin america the count's under way for presidential elections in bolivia exit polls indicate a win for luis are 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. 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 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 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 fanaa discuss the details with my colleague andrew farber. 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 and 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 bleck in 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 were more prawle morale this 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 an american by the way was very quick to support the a position and to welcome what they describe as peoples 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 johnny 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 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 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. and 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 one corner car a buck yanked barely had time to dry on the new truce agreement when both sides accused

each other of 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 nagorno-karabakh as eager as donna 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. reich's 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 in step on a curtain 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 of the meeting the most of there is no way the conflict can be solved peacefully a man is did live here so here in this very 2 years they had to somehow resolve the conflict. no you still go 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 a pleasure only people the civilians do not want war just like we don't want to know but if their leader wants their people to die let them die our boys will defend our homeland. the fighting has spilled beyond the borders of nagorno karabakh the

ceasefire didn't say visit every cities from the shelling to notably bombs rained down on the civilian areas of our city by jan 2nd city of ganja just like i mean eons 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 the shot civilians in mogadishu appear in gunja countries around the world turn a blind eye to these violations powerful nations should not tolerate this but they openly support them both ready to exterminate each other if need be and the diplomatic effort however large it might be can only do so much and we've done of reporting from the going to care about. control over nagorno-karabakh has been contested for decades with the conflict bursting back into life at the end of september all of 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 god. at tweed knives when it's through geneva when it's a truce came into force how well were people in the walls along. the north true legs while stime cease fire was broken off the call for an hour or so close by read inside the presidential houses in south of the religion into today's seas for was broken again starting on the cells feasibly and jabber allusions in the late afternoon i've done 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 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 armenians also proclaimed ceasefire 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 but italy is helping it's taken a significant chunk out of the mafia's armor after arresting scores of a legit 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. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only really exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful. if you sit down and talk.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the cares thinks. we dare to ask. them back to the program now hollowing is usually a holiday when ghosts and goals come out to play but not in one part of italy

that's because hollowing celebrations have been cancelled over cope it. nyquist manes halloween this is this immense idiocy this immense stupid american extravagance that we have imported into our country that says 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 halloween from 10 o'clock and there will be a curfew. we took to the streets to see how italians themselves feel about these new restrictions. 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 that i agreed to is deluca even before covert in my view it's a pretty silly holy day where catholics you know this america's liberation is not appropriate to me and so you know she has 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. i think that we can avoid these holidays because of the coronavirus these are useless holiday so you agree with 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 now more than a dozen suspected mobsters have been arrested in sicily it comes after a businessman secretly recorded an alleged mafia extortionist trying to force him to pay protection money. he'll come to me from. you know the one. you're going to be. the

businessman who filmed the video refused to pay and confronted the alleged extortionist with with photos of $2.00 prominent sicilian judges murdered by the mafia the businessman is among 13 allegedly racket victims who were spoken out. it'll stop the in 2018 i'd already been threatened by the mafia as it comes off for rock jani you know in the same neighborhood where i work now but in another one called capital 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 mask 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 math and have never been able to fight back for lack of coverage because there was simply afraid. that there are an estimated $94.00 mafia families in sicily and

they mostly operate in at least south historically the poorest part of the country their main areas of expertise including store shouldn't drug trafficking and illegal gambling. i'm afraid that 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 unfortunately that's what history teaches us given all the victims of the mafia. and other news controversy over whether transgender athletes should be allowed to compete against female competitors has been reignited and comes 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 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 a battle that 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 sport's global governing body ruled that their safety and

fairness concerns about letting transgender athletes participate it said women may be put putting their health 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 outlets 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 be singled out the potential advantages a trans woman have while ignoring the other advantages that other women have that is not fair they're men that bottom are biologically men born as men their men have got a huge advantage over women the people at the radical men's movement in trans arm 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 implant what science there is is disputed underdo gree advantage is very minimal because you know put a man in a show for logically bill-man into 3 moment be 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. those 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 check into a national level up to international level they're saying that this nonsense can carry on in find the latest updates on your world news stories that are to dot com
