that muslims in the to take cover or are calling me asking me whether i was raided or not so we have wished the poor into that everybody is scared that there would be 5 or 6 o'clock in the morning i fear that you know i will have to maybe be careful of what i post and my freedom of speech as a human rights activist is literally on the balance among still going to as ations in the crossfire n.g.o.s including the collective against islamophobia in france also known as c c i f it describes itself as being a human rights organization whose mission is to combat islamophobia but france's interior minister says the group is linked to a parent to launched a fatwa against teacher samuel party which it thought led to his assassination it received state age we have evidence to say that it is an enemy of the republic c c says it is the victim here since yesterday we have been the target of death threats

a political trial of those organizations say they struggle against islamophobia charlotte even ski r.t. paris. france and germany have the largest muslim populations in europe and are both grappling with similar integration issues as evidenced by a recent case in germany it involves a lebanese doctor who has been denied citizenship all because he wouldn't shake hands with a female official if the applicant refuses to shake hands for gender specific reasons which are incompatible with the constitution there is no integration into german living conditions well the man who has not been publicly named moved to germany 18 years ago he completed his medical studies that and now works as a senior physician in his citizenship test he got top marks in german history and values but a court described his refusal to shake a woman's hand as indicative of fundamentalist views the doctor denies that saying
9:07 am
he simply vowed never to touch any woman other than his wife well this is not the 1st time that the traditional greeting has courted controversy a muslim couple was similarly denied swiss citizenship again for refusing handshakes from members of the opposite sex now officials that issued a lack of respect for gender equality but not all cases go the same way for example a muslim woman in sweden was compensated when her job interview was cut short because she wouldn't extend her hand to a man we had some contrasting views on the issue. the. procedure just showed that there was a problem with the integration process of this person and you cannot look into people's hearts and minds but that was a clear signal that he still is here to a totally different belief and value system than the one which is the app lived in germany since centuries and therefore i find it correct that they took this as

a signal syrians and rejected the naturalisation of the live in his person rainer this is a cultural and political process and we have freedom of belief and conscience and you're right there are limits to that i agree and i help governments in this country and elsewhere tackle radicalization extremism terrorism agendas for decades just trust me. if somebody doesn't shake your hand and he is carrying out his functions as a doctor treating patients on a regular basis it's not the end of the world he's a contributing taxpaying that society and we should have tolerance if this is a sign of dad in chanterelle he regards the women as a seductive as a danger for his own behavior and then this shows that he has brought up with himself really an outdated view of women and this will create further clashes in the future of this is a part of our culture of chance like that she didn't need it changed in no way so
9:09 am
who cannot accept this culture should simply not work here or long for this it doesn't ship of such a country you don't get to tell muslims what this messed up version of a stalinist at least it really has put policies in place to protect the ice not what is going on is about the truth what it's lost it's what liberties about things . principles general principle democrats if you want to pretend that you need to add here to some basic shared value systems. otherwise the society will fall apart and in the end all the nation states will fall apart and maybe this is in the interest of many people but in the trees and it's just normal is that we should ensure europe to conserve society in that complexity that we already have in their colorful ness and keep them as open and really tolerance basis without radical fuz . just

9:16 am
honest the country has been living in after the previous presidential vote the one moral this one was very aggressively in the 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
9:17 am
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 excellent it was a very simple explanation the air is reporting later were more for all morale listen this is why when the last 16 percent of the vote. counted that lead increased so dramatically and 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 an american by the way was very quick to supports their position and to welcome what they describe as people's fight for justice and democracy we salute the courage and strength to believe in people who have protested against
9:18 am
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 the geneva nears and the transitional government to bring democracy back 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 far from democratic it was and this is why now mr r.c. says that after 11 months of this nightmare people often leave i mean they know
9:19 am
better what the true democracy is to them in 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 bolivian 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. well daniel schorr senior research fellow at the council on hemispheric affairs i think the u.s. bank forces could again try to undermine the democratic process in bolivia. the movement toward socialism never cease to be popular but the cool monger the neo liberal forces with the support of. truong the pentagon the state department here in washington and in the rowing forces across the continent are here 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 the us against during 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. with the u.s. election just 2 weeks away tensions between biden and trump supporters are palpable with emotions running high and so much on the line things could easily spiral out of control and kind of open reporters. november 3rd election day in america is edging ever closer some are not just nervous about the results but nervous about the real potential for violence in the streets over the course of the past few
9:21 am
months amid the pandemic tensions have been at boiling point and at some point even boiling over violence has taken place at political rallies. last weekend it was boston that was the site of scuffles between trump supporters and left wing activists videos like this are becoming more and more common across america. and. the country is becoming more and more polarized you have this witches brew that really hasn't happened in america's history and defeat has it's been decades if not centuries right wing militias and are both heavily armed and both walking the streets freely in american cities. our current.
