5:04 pm
was raided or not so we have the poor into 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 or 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 o f says it is the victim here since yesterday we have been the target of death

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 rates following terror attacks are commonplace but for some of these purges don't target the root. of the problem this program be so widespread we're talking about. 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 on the very speaking out want to. be from the extreme and that will do some good but this is a problem not a song that's going to go on for a long time to least a generation islam islam in france was already in the spotlight in recent weeks president emanuel might call that outlying details of

5:07 pm
let's even. see 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 there 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. now the man who has not been publicly named moved 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 a court described his refusal to shake a woman's hand as indicated indicative of fundamentalist views the doctor denies that saying he simply valid never to touch any woman other than his wife this is
5:08 pm
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 official said it 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 heard 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 a signal syrians and rejected the naturalisation of the live in his person rainer
5:09 pm
this is a cultural and bashes and we have freedom of belief and conscience and you're right there are limits to that i agree about health governance in this country and elsewhere radicalization extremism terrorism to do this for decades just trust me. if somebody doesn't shake hands 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 of bad in chanterelle he regards the women as a seductive as a danger for his own behavior and then this shows that he has brought with him sell 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 cannot accept this culture should simply not work here or long for this it doesn't
5:10 pm
ship of such a country you don't get to tell muslims what this messed up version of a stalinist at least the. policies in place to take not what is going on is about the truth what it's lost it's law liberties about things. 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. and it's not normally a situation in germany i'm going to europe to conserve society in their complexity that we already have in their colorful ness and keep them as open and really tolerance basis without radical fuz. just a couple of days after being signed a 2nd truce between armenia and azerbaijan seems at risk of collapse fighting

5:14 pm
tuesday is a full red alert announced in the back this god no region of bavaria 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 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 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 and places of
5:15 pm
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 edge of the polish government prepares for the worst she militias which are things 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 cities going into lockdown for 2 weeks nevada the latest to do just. that's around $650000.00 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
5:16 pm
but that could roll on depending on infection rates 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 extreme lockdown households would not be allowed to mix with one another and your not supposed to go more than 5 kilometers from your own home in measures that will last until the beginning of the same 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
5:17 pm
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 covert 19 going on on the wrist providers is do not have legs it is people who spread the lumber the is a very dynamic region very active with a lot of population and the large concentration of population in the cities but overall it's a pretty bleak picture here in europe one big question. nobody seems to be able to answer though is why countries like germany sweden and denmark bearing the brunt as much as the neighbor is. still to come this hour the mayor of manchester is locking horns with the british government over an upcoming lockdown for the area home to

5:21 pm
holding out saying that the city with its falling number of cases since its peak in september shouldn't be going into tier 3 not done not at least without some kind of sufficient financial package from the central government now initially the mayor had said that his team had. a 1000000 pounds as part of a package the government's figure was around 60000000 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 invictus by me here in manchester and of course speaking to some of the locals on the street majority of them backing the position of the mayor and really proud of andy burnham 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 on this one and defending those people because that the economic package they announced just it work keep people alive i do think it's very good that he's holding. for financial measures because we do need that

5:23 pm
a solution to the rising rates especially myra in this. race going to change then obviously the government was right and we're wrong the big issue is to protect lives and he's also to make sure our column a doesn't it's an old fight so i think that if you go out and you're in a low 'd income job you're more likely to touch this and you're more 'd likely john boehner alex problems so 'd it unless we have a caucus on the. whole i. get by the way 8. it will affect the poorest members of the can. take a swing around the globe to look at some other news in brief making headlines starting in denmark where a convicted killer has been recaptured after breaking out of prison peter madsen is serving a life sentence for the murder of swedish journalist in the wall back in 2017 he
