calling for justice. france and val's to take on islamic radicalism after the horrific horrific killing of a history teacher but average muslims fear they will bear the brunt of the government's response. without fear that you know i will have to be the oh be careful what they post of and my freedom of speech as a human rights of activists is literally all the balance. in decoration issues elsewhere in europe a lebanese man a german citizenship over his refusal to shake hands with a woman discrimination or justified requests opinions different. that he still is here to a totally different value system of. the one which is established in germany is

this is a cultural basis just because somebody has a shape it's not the end of the world. and e.u. countries including germany roll out drastic measures to counter a 2nd wave of covert 19 case numbers surged beyond the peaks seen back in spring. broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is archie international i'm sean thomas glad to have you with us and the french government has ordered the closure of a mosque accused of inciting violence the place of worship outside paris had posted a video calling for a campaign against a history teacher after he showed caricature of the prophet muhammad to his class on october the 16th samuel paddy was beheaded by a terrorist the mosque leader earlier apologized for posting the clip but denounced

of the shutdown order everybody knows that i am a so-called moderate muslim that i call for tolerance open mindedness i've got the impression that they just need to throw someone under the bus. the mosque will be closed for 6 months starting on wednesday its leaders have been given 48 hours to appeal the decision and court members of the congregation believe that they should not be punished for the teacher's murder. we have a very kind of mom he speaks to us and erratic and french and doesn't tell people what to do she never gathered us together to tell us to do anything bad. parsers for george i don't know if i tell 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 committed the crime but for the mosque it's a shame. well since the murders 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 it is lists but law abiding muslims now fear that they will suffer from the government's response as r.t. strode to the 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 already led to more accusations that muslims need 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 on as asians 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 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 root. of the problem this problem 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 to. me from the extreme and that will do some good but this is a problem i assume that's going to go on for a long time to come and least a generation islam isn't in france was already in the spotlight in recent weeks president emanuel might call that outlying details of a new no aimed at protecting france's secular republic from foreign influence is

not cohen said a minority of the country's estimated 6000000 muslims were in danger of forming peril to society and the 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 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 samuel patti's death opens the floodgates to a political trial of those organizations say they struggle against islamophobia so

let's even. see paris. all right 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 the hands of a female 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. 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 position in citizenship test you got top marks in german history but values as well and the court disk drive his refusal to shake a woman's hand as indicative of fundamentalist views the doctor denies that saying

that he simply valid never to touch any woman other than his wife 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 official said it showed a lack of respect for general quality 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 this is a cultural and passions 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 i just trust. 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 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

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 version of a stalinist at least the. policies in place to protect dice 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 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 not normal is it a stranger of europe to conserve society in their complexity that we already have in their colorful naz and keep them as open and really tolerance basis without radical views. just a couple of days after being signed the 2nd

a truce between armenia and azerbaijan seems at risk of collapse fighting continues across the disputed not got enough region spilling beyond its borders as well local journalist mira. has been caught up in the shelling while reporting from outside in azerbaijan a factory. let's listen to what you did notice those almost 2 out of many a good one notification progression yeah you know absolutely with me there goes those couples you know your desire for peter roebuck you. know. the most nights you don't produce but there are stars that's is this new ads that bassma. flew smooth. and then striking today was a long time from fly to has been washington's a day or. so exploded so often and so loudly that we could

heard it from the neighboring city which is so cool that this fall from the from fly as it only morning clear went as a thought they were close the war. has became a piece center of artillery from army inside why is still continues now and so that takes. the territorial feud stretches back more than 3 decades and flared up at the end of september both sides are blaming each other for civilian casualties and damage soldiers on the front line claim the azerbaijani side is sabotaging the ceasefire. 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 results from us this is one of the suburbs just by the is

a relationship that you know and i've been fighting against the as a response the 990 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 and nothing can beat an army and soldier when an armenian soldier stands strong. on his feet he will repel anyone no one can enter our armenian waves. the 2nd wave of covert 19 is gathering pace across europe with belgium france and spain among the worst affected those countries along with britain now have hired caseload than during the earlier peaks back in spring and they are resorting to some tough new containment measures as well as peter all over reports. 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 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

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 militia's here official 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 cities going into lockdown for 2 weeks nevada the latest to do. 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

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 december i understand and i feel very personally i prefer. the sense of disappointment the feelings of loneliness perhaps even this the despair 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 l'ombre 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 go response or a virus 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 then large concentration of population in the cities 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. still to come this hour the mayor of manchester is a locking horns with of the british government over an upcoming lockdown for the

area home to almost $3000000.00 people that's very much more appropriate this is our 2 international. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. tyson nation whole community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by the way. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us

in the depths. or a made in the shallows. the single greatest most important aspect of any functioning society is price discovery act or price discovery more so than any moral or aesthetic or ethical. kind of set of rules because without sound money without sound prices you don't have a society full stop. international now britain's nuke over $1000.00 restrictions have sparked a political firestorm the mayor of greater manchester has lashed out at the government saying it is pushing people into poverty with an upcoming lockdown the british prime minister boris johnson confirmed the plans will be forced on the region after talks collapsed earlier on tuesday. we made

a generous and extensive offer to support mantras does 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 in order 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 palm and to be make a judgment on a financial framework. 3. really striking about this latest disagreement is the politicize ation of it as seen by some with the labor.

holding out saying that this city with its falling number of cases since its peak in september shouldn't be going into 3 lockdown not at least without some kind of sufficient financial package from the central government now initially the mayor had said that his team had clustered close around 90000000 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 indictive by me here in manchester course speaking to some of the locals on the street the 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 the 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 and it hasn't been done enough. but also there is a point where you cannot hold human lives as a leverage anymore a big place it's to think about giving people the correct by not just civilised people are going to be able to survive a bit so. they're against the backdrop of 4000000 cases and yet the government still insisting this part of the country should be going into 2 or 3 looked on what that means for those especially the lowest paid in the cities well it's going to be a long dog when sore head. starting on friday greater manchester will be put in britain's top risk bracket for covert classed as tier 3 that means a ban on mixing between households guidance against travel in or out of the area and the closure of paul pubs all of them we heard from local councillor allan brett he thinks the drastic measures are misguided. i'm still not convinced that. 'd

it's a solution to the rising rates especially in my in this time if rates start going to change then obviously the government was right and we're wrong the big issue is to protect lives and it's also to make sure our economy doesn't it's an old fight so i think that if you go out and you're in a low income job you're more likely to touch this and you're more 'd likely. so 'd even less we have a focus 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 making headlines this hour in brief starting in denmark where a convicted killer has been recaptured after breaking out of prison peter manson is serving a life sentence for the murder of swedish journalist kim wall back in 2017 he

dissent from ation censorship and fake news both political parties and their sycophants have taken aim at social media giants like facebook and twitter or search engines like google for the information that users have shared and propagated on their sites whether it's the democrats ranting and raving about russian this information bots and q went on conspiracy theories or the republican screaming about liberal media it's like search ship the war cry from washington is that someone needs to control the information. enter the house permanent select committee on intelligence shared by burbank's own representative adam schiff who in mid october held a very special hearing titled misinformation conspiracy theories and in both demick 6 stopping the spread in imposed demick really what a word while republicans refused to attend the hearing because they were probably
