this is a cultural and political process and to somebody that's a shame it's not the end of the world. and e.u. countries including germany roll out drastic need measures to counter a 2nd wave of covert 19 as case numbers surge beyond the peak seen back to the spring. hello and welcome you watching on c.n.n. international with me nikki erin it's great to have you with us this hour. a march is now being held in the paris region on the of a murdered history teacher we've been showing you pictures of the gathering some your party was beheaded by a terrorist october the 16th also showing caricature of the prophet mohammed to his class and the french government has ordered the shut down of a mall of a mosque which posted a video inciting violence. against

a teacher the last leader early 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 the mosque will be shut for 6 months starting on wednesday is leaders have been given 48 hours to appeal the decision in court members of the congregation believes they shouldn't be punished for the teacher's mother. crucial to man we have a very kind of mom who speaks to us in a rabbit confound and doesn't tell people what to do she never gathered our us together to tell us to do anything bad. for george orwell i don't know if i told people you should go and buy weapons and then they go and buy weapons and kill someone i'm not responsible for that. i'm not happy about the mosques closure i mean guess what happened to the teacher i condemn it i do not agree with those who
1:03 pm
committed the crime but for the mosque it's a shame it wasn't 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 best's but law abiding muslims know often they will suffer from the government's response to penske reports. 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 at 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
1:04 pm
accusations 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 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'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 o f says it is the victim here since yesterday we have been the target of death
1:05 pm
threats and a companion 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 raids following terror attacks are commonplace but for some of these purges don't target the. but the problem this program be so widespread we're talking thousands of people literally thousands of people who are would be deemed to be in some way. to terrorist groups in the u.k. in paris in france in belgium and other countries so there's just an enormous number of people by the very speaking out want to hopefully from the extreme and that will do some good but this is a problem i saw that's going to go on for a long time to count the least a generation islam islam in france was already in the spotlight in recent weeks president emanuel might call that outlying details of the new nor aimed at
1:06 pm
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 counter society and accusations followed that he was trying to a price is low 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 the 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 parties death opens the floodgates to
1:07 pm
a political trial but those organizations say the struggle against islamophobia charlotte even r.t. paris. france and germany have the largest muslim populations in europe and they're both grappling with similar integration issues as evidenced by a recent case in germany it involves a lebanese doctor who has been denied citizenship 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 to move to germany 18 years ago he completed his medical studies there and now works as a senior position in his citizenship test he called 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 he simply vowed never to touch any woman other than his wife this is not the 1st
1:08 pm
time that the traditional greeting has courted control over same a muslim couple was similarly denied swiss citizenship again for refusing hunch aches 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 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 established in germany since centuries and therefore i find it correct that they took this as
1:09 pm
a signal of syrians and rejected the naturalisation of the live in his person rainer this is a cultural and listen 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 i just try. to shake a hand and he is carrying out his actions 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 a 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 like that she didn't need it changed in no way so who
1:10 pm
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 and that means. principles general principle democrats if you want to pretend that you need to add here to some basic 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 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 naz and keep them as open and really tolerant spaces without radical views. just a couple of days after being signed the 2nd truce between armenia and azerbaijan
1:11 pm
seems at risk of collapse fighting continues across the disputed nagorno-karabakh region spilling beyond its borders as well local journalists down there at least as a day was caught up in shelling while reporting from outside an azerbaijani factory . let's not forget what you did notice about those almost 2 out of many a good one that also vision because you know you know absolutely with me of the girls those couples you know your desire for peter roebuck you. know. the most nights you don't produce but there are stars that says this new admins that passed . will smooth. fighting today. along the entire form fly to has been walked into the direction of their suv so exploded so often
1:12 pm
and so loudly that we could heard it from the neighboring city which is sort of cool that is far from banned from flying as it only morning when does a thought they were closed off the war. and has became an atheist center of artillery from armenian side why it still continues now and so that text. the territorial feud stretches back more than 3 decades on flared up at the end of september but signs of blaming each other for civilian casualties and damage soldiers on the karabakh front line claim the azerbaijani side is sabotaging the ceasefire. yet on the road in reality the truce has not been not held 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 areas. i've been fighting against
1:13 pm
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. he will repel anyone no one can enter our armenian lands. or u.k.'s new colleague 19 restrictions have sparked a political firestorm the merrow greater manchester has lashed out at the government saying is pushing people into poverty with an upcoming lockdown we cannot cross to our u.k. correspondent isa ali for more on this good to see you i could just has more about this feud between westminster and manchester. yeah absolutely the central government in the u.k. led by of course the prime minister boris johnson introducing this new 3 system with 3 being the most harsh of those in terms of the measures implemented the prime
1:14 pm
minister boris johnson saying that his government's intention was to put manchester into that here now manchester was at $1.00 of the areas of the country with the highest rates in terms of cases but for the last 8 days that figure has dropped it's down 25 percent from its peak in yet the prime minister still wants to put the city in the wider region of greater manchester into 3 measures but it hasn't gone without resistance from the local mayor. who said if that is to be the case there needs to be a sufficient package of support coming forward for the local area to save local businesses to save jobs to help freelancers but today talks breaking down between the 2 sides meeting a standoff continuing really until of course minute past midnight this coming friday when against the will of local leaders munster will be put into 2 or 3 measures. we made
1:15 pm
a generous and extensive offer to support his business didn't accept this unfortunately given the public health situation i must marry proceed with moving greater manchester as i say to the very high level. no point today where we offered enough to protect the poorest people in our communities through the punishing reality of the winter to come even now i am still willing to do a deal but it cannot be on the terms that the government offered today because on those terms i could not meet the commitments i made to people on the lowest incomes i now look to parliament to intervene or make a judgment on a fair financial framework for 3 lockdowns. now initially the mayor had said that his team had sent costed amount close around
1:16 pm
$90000000.00 pounds as part of a package the government's figure was around $60000000.00 but they just couldn't seem to come to an agreement eventually the government put forward only 22000000 pounds a figure seen as somewhat of an insult pops vindictive by me here in manchester and of course speaking to some of the locals on the street the majority of them backing the position of the mayor. really proud of underpinning the mayor of manchester for really they were the way the b.b.c. put it was bending them into government over a barrel and really sticking hard in this one and defending those people because they're the economic package they announced just it work keep people alive i do think it's very good that he's holding out for financial measures because we do need that and it hasn't been done enough. but also there is a point where you cannot hold human lives as a leverage anymore and the barrel means absolutely right to be fine here and the council will meet. and actually doing what they are suggesting and have been and
1:17 pm
should be doing actually it's and they need to listen and they need to act. so that standoff there against the backdrop of 14 cases and yet the government still insisting this part of the country should be going into 2 or 3 lock down what that means for those especially the lowest paid in the cities well it's going to be a long dark winter ahead. thank you for those details our season ali in manchester . along with the year kerry most of europe is feeling the full force of a 2nd covert 19 way his numbers are now far higher than during the peak back in spring piece all of the reports from berlin. lots to get through different measures being taken and 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 bavaria in the south
1:18 pm
of the country 2 and a half 1000 tourists being told you've got to go and they have to go immediately 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 fed reasonably well in the spring when we 1st saw over 19 rip through europe it's not doing so well now 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
1:19 pm
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 nauru's 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 cities going into lockdown for 2 weeks nevada the latest to do just that that's 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
1:20 pm
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 the despair
1:21 pm
that 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 long term but 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. first wave of covert 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. response or a virus is do not have legs it is people who spread them long body is
1:22 pm
a very dynamic region very active with a lot of population and the large concentration of population in the cities doing a lot of things seen a lot of people having a lot of work in and meeting activities that facilitates the spread of the wires but 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. the u.s. election is just 2 weeks away and all eyes are on the final debate between donald trump and joe biden would take place in nashville tennessee on thursday and after the chaotic 1st round the moderators have introduced me it's better to prevent into represents it shaping up to be one of the most ill tempered votes in u.s. history trump supporters have held rallies in major cities this one calling for a boycott of china and there have been much larger gatherings across america did
