wrong to take on islamic radicalism after being horrific killing of a history teacher but average muslims fear they will bear the brunt of the government's response. when all fear that you know i will have to be the be careful or for what the force of my freedom of speech as a human rights of activists is literally all the balance. and integration issues where in europe lebanese man is denied german citizenship over his refusal to shake hands with a woman discrimination or justified but opinions differ. but it was a clear signal that he still is here to a totally different value system and the one which is established in germany is this is a cultural that isn't just the leadership it's not the end of the world. and

you countries including germany rolled out drastic new measures to counter a 2nd wave of covert 90 s case numbers surge beyond the peak seen spring. hello and welcome you watching r.t. international with me becky aaron it's great to have you with us now the french government has shut down a mosque accused of inciting violence the place of worship outside paris had posted a video calling for a campaign against a history teacher also off that he showed caricature was of the prophet muhammad to his class while on october the 16th samuel party was beheaded by a terrorist the mosque leader earlier apologized for posting the clip but denounced the closure. everybody knows that i am a so-called moderate muslim that i called for tolerance open mindedness i've got

the impression that they just need to throw someone under the bus since the murder several french t.v. channels have started airing the controversial cartoons in defense of free speech and dozens of raids have already been carried out against suspected islam ists but flora finding muslims now say they will suffer from the government's response says you of course. in the wake of samuel patti's gruesome murder the french state wants to show that it's being quick to act police have raided the homes of islam is activists engaged on social networks more than 80 investigations for online hatred have been arrests have already taken place since yesterday around 50 associative structures will see a certain number of visits from state services all week long and several of them my suggestion will be dissolved in the council of ministers this latest terror attack

is only likely to harden the state starts until it's already led to more accusations that muslims need to take cover or are calling me asking me whether i was rated or not so we have reached a point that everybody is scared that there will be 5 or 6 o'clock in the morning i fear that you know i will have to 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 human rights organization whose mission is to combat islamophobia but france is 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

o f says it is the victim here since yesterday we have been the target of death threats and to complain of hatred that demands the dissolution of. face through so many smears of incredible indecency given the context our team is now receiving growing support thank you from the heart rates following terror attacks are commonplace but for some of these purges don't target the rule. of the problem this problem be so widespread we're talking. we literally thousands of people who are would be deemed to be in some way straight used to be terrorists in the u.k. in paris in france belgium and other come so there's just an enormous number of people on the very speaking out to. me from the treatment that will do some good but this is a problem i'm sure that's going to go on for a long time to come and least the generation islam isn't in france was already in

the spotlight in recent weeks president emanuel might call that outlying details of a new nor aimed at protecting france's secular republic from foreign influence is not going said a minority of the country's estimated 6000000 muslims were in danger of forming around to society and accusations followed that he was trying to a price in france. associations to defend the rights of muslims who are bought off by micron's police in short the message is muslims we're going to screw you up. well the french unanimously condemned the attack which led to the beheading for professor yesterday some take the opportunity to settle their scores by slipping into the most abject islamophobia interior minister says it's now possible to see how political islam has joined forces with radical islam and ultimately is leading to terrorism many muslims may now feel that they are under attack with suggestions

that some real patti's death opens the floodgates to a political trial of those organizations say the struggle against islamophobia jollity even r.t. paris. france and germany have the largest muslim populations in europe and are both grappling with similar it's a gratian issues as evidenced by a recent case in germany not involve the lebanese doctor who has been denied citizenship there all because he wouldn't shake hands with a female official if the applicant refuses to shake hands with gender specific reasons which are incompatible with the constitution there is no integration into german living conditions or a man who has not been publicly named to move to germany 18 years ago he completed his medical studies there and now works as a senior physician in his citizenship test he got top marks in german history and values but of course cried his refusal to shake a woman's hand as indicative of fundamentalist views but dr denies that saying he

simply vowed never to touch any woman other than his wife now this is not the 1st time that the traditional greeting house courted controversy a muslim couple was similarly denied swiss citizenship again for refusing harm 6 for members of the opposite sex officials that they showed 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 take stand her hands to a man we had some contrasting views on the issue. 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 established 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 case just trust me . if somebody doesn't shake hands 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 it dad in chanterelle he regards the women as a seductive as a danger for his own behavior and that is shows that he has brought with him cell really an outdated view of women and this will create further clashes in the future

of this is a part of our culture of life that she didn't need it changed in no way so who cannot accept this culture you 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 the action of a stalinist at least the. policies in place to protect not what is going on is about the truth what it's lost in smaller liberties about things. principles general principle democrats if you want to pretend that you need to add here to some basic shared values 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 my dreams 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 tolerant spaces without radical views.

just a couple of days after being signed to the 2nd truce between armenia and azerbaijan seems that risk of collapse fighting continues across the disputed little no karabakh region spilling beyond its borders as well local journalist del maryla says our day was caught up in shelling while reporting from outside an azerbaijani factory. let's not forget what you did notice about is almost 2 out of many given that ocean vision because you know you know absolutely what really goes capacity of his adult would be to rebel q. you don't have to do it but there are steps that led to this new admins that bassma. move. intense fighting today was going along the entire form fly heavy

artillery has been walked into the direction of the rest of the night so exploded so often and so loudly that we could heard it from the neighboring city which is 30 kilometers far from from flying as it only morning clear went to the top from the roof of the war this huge and has became an a.p. center of artillery ethics from armenian side why are you still continues now and so there are 2 text. the territorial feud stretches back more than 3 decades but the end of september both sides are blaming each other for civilian casualties and damage soldiers on their karabakh front line claim the azerbaijani side is sabotaging the cease fire. in reality the truth has not been upheld as for defensive positions there has been no shooting but we hear from the positions on our right and left explosions i assure you that is from the

adverse reason not from us this is one of the. by the as their reason. i've been fighting against the as a response the $990.00 s. and again i fight against them so their perverted feet will not step in our clean armenian land don't pollute our homeland we won't allow it. it doesn't matter from how many countries they bring mercenaries nothing can beat an armenian soldier when an armenian soldier stand strongly on his feet he will repel anyone no one can enter our armenian lands once your. second wave of covert 19 is gathering pace across europe with belgium france and spain among the was to pay some of the now far higher than during the peak spike in spring plus all of the reports from brother. lots to get through different measures being taken in different countries across europe will start from where i'm talking to you from here in germany while most of germany has got off pretty lightly compared to its european neighbors what we've seen on tuesday is

a full red alert announced in the back this god no region of the varia in the south of the country 2 and a half 1000 tourists being told you've got to go and they have to go immediately that says the berchtesgaden a region goes into this full lockdown what that means is that schools are going to be closed all of them are going to be counselled restaurants are only open for takeout and people have been told only to leave their homes if there's a good reason to do it now those good reasons do include business and also exercise but it is a serious step being taken by the authorities in bavaria there and in poland which is one of those countries that fared reasonably well in the spring when we 1st saw over 19 ripped through europe it's not doing so well now with the government there is put in place a series of measures which includes things like closing gyms however we have seen some fitness clubs attempting to get round that one in crack of in particular has

relaunched itself as a church of the healthy body in an attempt to circumvent ban on gyms places of worship are allowed to open but while they are doing that the authorities in poland taking things a little more seriously in fact they've turned the national stadium in warsaw into a makeshift hospital as the jew the polish government prepares for the worst she moves the chinese we must also think about darcus naruse if we are not able to stop the pandemic in our country temporary hospitals will be necessary we opened the 1st field hospital here we are ready to open a network of similar hospitals around the country in the near future in spain more . more cities going into lockdown for 2 weeks nevada the latest to do just that around 650000 people will be locked down they join parts of madrid as well as. areas in the castiel and leon area that have also been put into into lockdown that

means bars restaurants won't be able to open it supposed to last for around 2 weeks but that could roll on depending on infection rate spain saw 25000 extra infections of covert 19 over the weekend moving north and the island is heading into 6 weeks of what's being called the extreme lockdown the prime minister of ireland may call martin said that households would not be allowed to mix with one another and you're not supposed to go more than 5 kilometers from your own home in measures that will last until the beginning of december now in introducing this extreme lockdown the irish prime minister said he did see a light at the end of the tunnel i understand and i feel very personally i prefer. the sense of disappointment the feelings of loneliness perhaps even this the

despair the dissonance and will bring for many if we pull together over the next 6 weeks we would have the opportunity to celebrate christmas in a meaningful way or last week belgium puts itself into a lockdown whereby. restaurants would be closed for a couple of weeks however despite that politicians are still warning about the threat of a tsunami of infections is how they are calling it and also if we look in italy the lawn that the region has seen a huge spike in infections that's prompted the introduction of a nighttime curfew hospitals they're concerned that they may become overwhelmed as they did back in the spring and the 1st wave of code. 19 doctors saying that the reason for this curfew the reason they believe is behind this spike is people well people going about their daily lives and trying to get back to normal as much as possible. respiratory viruses do not have legs it is people who spread them lumber

the is a very dynamic region very active with a lot of population and then a large concentration of population in the cities doing a lot of things seen a lot of people haven't a lot of work in and meeting activities that facilitates the spread of the wires overall it's a pretty bleak picture here in europe one big question that nobody seems to be able to answer though is why countries like germany sweden and denmark aren't bearing the brunt as much as their neighbors. allies of the ousted president of bolivia evo morales are celebrating victory after sunday's election results show a convincing victory for you we are say former minister and the miraculous and a member of his left wing party what do you know 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. if morale as was forced to step down by the bolivian army last year after weeks of violence countries including the us came his election victory was rigged merola's however described events as a coup he was succeeded by an interim government which repeatedly postponed elections due to the coronavirus pandemic and as a result bolivia has been experiencing political instability for about a year with frequent violence and mass protests around the country and has left many citizens craving a return to normality and we spoke to some of them. you know we want to leave peacefully without roadblocks and protests and a new leader for a new believe year 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 only 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 leading this whole can paint in black 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 excellent 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 votes were. counted that lead increased so dramatically and by the way that may happen and we 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 we salute the courage and strength to believe in people who have protested against a government trying to steal an election we reject this ridiculous claim that the legal. fraudulent election is somehow 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 johnny the new years 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 they 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 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 better what the true democracy is to the new 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 was 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. bolivia's interim president jeanine arnaz has congratulated assaye on his victory and the main rival candidate has conceded defeat however latin american affairs analyst daniel schorr thinks he was backed forces could still try to undermine the democratic process in bolivia. the movement toward socialism never ceased to be popular but the cool mongoose 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. this is an amazing victory for the overwhelmingly indigenous the majority of bolivians who are indigenous but we should not expect that this political victory translates into an economic victory. the right wing forces supported by the us are going to do everything to push back

against the us against. the people's victory so this is going to continue to play out in the course of the next hour is the months and years. u.s. election is just 2 weeks away and all eyes are on the final debate between donald trump and joe biden it would take place in nashville tennessee on thursday and after the chaotic 1st round with the moderators have introduced a mute button to prevent interruptions and shaping up to be one of the most ill tempered both in u.s. history trump supporters have held rallies in major cities this one calling for a boycott of china and there are been much larger gatherings across america denouncing the president with more on the build up to the election his caleb moore in new york. 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 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 it 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 if it 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.

gun sales a record high now the year isn't even over yet but already the f.b.i. has announced that 2020 is the record year for the number of f.b.i. background checks for gun purchases tensions are being ratcheted up by both candidates were both suggesting that the other guy is rigging the vote or single greatest concern is president trying to steal this election it's democrats they're going to they're trying to rig this election. will the elections have a quick result that is accepted by everyone or will it be contested with both candidates having supporters that are armed and ready for battle things could explode very quickly. artsy new york. with some other world news in brief now starting. if denmark were convicted killer has been recaptured after breaking out of prison peter martin is serving a life sentence for the murder of swedish journalist kim wall back in 2017 it
