france continues its crackdown on hate speech it orders the closure of a mosque thought to be linked to the beheading of a teacher who showed caricature was of the prophet mohammad. on political tumble in the u.k. northern islam shall to forestall incident from posing tough new coronavirus obstructions reacher wheels people how we feel about this. vehicle over a package deal you know it's just it would keep people out if they think they should put us into through about giving people the correct by not just to voice people are going to be able to spy prevent. the u.s. says it will sit on from its blacklist of state terrorism sponsors but it's coming the have to point the call to.

247 live from the russian capital this is international glad you could join us company. well for our story this hour in france as people continue to mourn the slain teacher samuel pati the 47 year old was brutally killed last week and actually able to terrorism the government has ordered the closure of a mosque accused of links to the group as part of its pledge to fight hate speech with all the latest developments his shot it. several organizations are being shut down as a result of the attack on some real party almost a week ago in france and that includes the mosque behind me this is the grand mosque of punks on you know the reason the order says on the front of the mosque that it is being closed on wednesday is because that is for the sole purpose of

preventing acts of terrorism and that's because this mosque which has around 1500 people who regularly come and worship posted a video inciting hatred against teaches samuel party in the days before he was killed now the person the author of video is under arrest at the moment and is also said to be exchanged messages with the killer now the rector of this mosque has expressed extreme regret for sharing that video on the facebook page of the mosque and this is a statement that's almost we strongly condemn the savagery islam and its teachings categorically condemn such acts the grand mosque needs its most sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of samuel petit and because the violence has no place in our religion which calls for a fraternity and respect for difference as well the beheading of that 47 year old teacher has cool really struck a new hair in france that this all unfolded off the he gave

a civics education lesson that during that lesson he was talking about freedom of speech and he showed controversial images of the muslim a prophet mohammed which really upset everyone and that is a reason that the 18 year old who murdered him said he did so now this hits at the heart of this relationship the france has with the freedom of expression the liberty of speech and it is a lesson that teaches up and down the country give year in year out and they feel that if they continue to do so they could be repercussions that this all comes at a time when the regions in front of decided. publish a book which contains all of the most controversial religious and political cartoons that will be distributed to schools we also understand that some hotels and public buildings in the south of france and elsewhere will be showing images displaying them on their buildings today in

a sign of solidarity with samuel patty and we know that some need to organize a chanson also done the same many people in france saying they will defend to the end their right for their freedom of speech. we thought it was important to be there especially as i'm studying to be a teacher so i'm still touched directly but almost frankly i think it's horrible what happened hampering our freedom of expression the freedom to learn know. the values of france of the republic which have been targeted through the murderous samuel party whether it is this professor or another no matter which french college or high school who started this freedom and look at caricature not necessarily of mohammad but we look at caricatures to show freedom of expression there are all questions over whether this could incite even more hate we do know that france has had a longstanding problem with grown islamic radicalism and in the last few weeks president

machen set out to stall in what was seen is being pretty much a lot more speech saying how he was going to fight against this and he talked about a draw off a bill that still to be presented in december that will look down closing homeschooling love clues the scrutiny of many organizations and he said that this was to tackle foreign interference here in france you know the trough bill which we released in december we've had little trinkets of what's coming out given that we've seen mosques like this being shut down in the wake of mood of some real party president . has said he will continue this fight. that our citizens of this islamic faith must be protected against the evil of radical islam i say it here because the will of the islamists of its ideologues is precisely to turn a part of our citizens against the republic using their religion and we cannot let

that happen but many might say detract is that this is perhaps too little too late particularly given that it's emerged in the last few days that some of the use of been arrested since the. party put their radical. toys to run tickle islam so many people saying is enough being done to stop the rot . you quoted 1000 restrictions in the u.k. have seen politicians not cool ones the mayor of great manchester has lashed out at westminster saying the internet lockdown in his region will push people into poverty that's after talks to avoid those stricter measures collapsed on tuesday. we made a generous and extensive offer to support mantras does business manager 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 i now look to palm and to be a make a judgment on a financial framework for 3 what's really striking about this latest disagreement is the politicized nation of it as seen by some with the labor. holding out saying that this city with its for the number of cases since that speak in september shouldn't be going into 2 or 3 locked are not at least without some kind of sufficient financial package from the central government now initially the mayor had said that his team had costed close around $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 of 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 worked 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 they think that they should place instead think about giving people the correct financial support people aren't going to be able to survive a bit so i think. you. the government still insisting this part of the country should be going into 2 or 3 logged on what that means for those especially the most played in the cities well it's going to be a long dark winter ahead. so as we just had from east side out to 3 which is the

top risk bracket for what is going to start a great marched on friday what does that mean it means a ban on mixing between households guidance against travel in or out of the area on the closure of pops we had from local council and brett to labels the drastic measures misguided i'm still not convinced that 3 is the solution to the rising rates especially my birth 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 he's also to make sure our economy doesn't on it's a known fact i think that if you're up for it and you're in a low 'd income job you're more likely to catch this disease and you're more likely to hold or else problems so it unless we have a focus on the interest of gauged then all of the local economy will get by the way

8 it will affect the poorest members of the cañon. from the u.k. to the rest of europe where the 2nd wave of covert 1000 is gathering pace and belgium france spain that all on high and those countries now have case numbers far higher than back during the peak in spring and the spanish region are perhaps you know you know doctors say that down to that essentials and protective equipment and to drive the point home to all 40 is a group of them scripted out underway in the central square of boston no not they are just one example of course of how people are struggling all across the continent with more on how governments up battling to flatten the here's peter. 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. 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 to know 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 as the region goes into this full lockdown. and in poland which is one of those countries that fed reasonably well in the spring when we 1st saw covert 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 krakow in particular has relaunched itself as a church of the healthy body in an attempt to circumvent the ban on gyms 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 polish government prepares for the worst she moved to the chinese we must also. think about darcus nauru's if we're not able to stop the pandemic in our country temporary hospitals will be necessary. spain more cities going into lockdown for 2 weeks nevada the latest to do just starts around 650000 people who will be locked down 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 the infection rate spain saw $25000.00 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 you're 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 and profoundly the sense of disappointment the feelings of loneliness perhaps even this the despair that this announcement 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. 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 ground 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 large concentration of population in the cities well 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 the neighbors. well still to come at my cost them a pretty penny but john is set to be taken off the u.s. terror list i'll give you all the details when we come back. the world is driven by shaped by one person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask.

there is a saying in washington don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good this appropriately describes the political warfare over another stimulus time and to center this standoff is who wins or loses just prior to the election in the meantime tens of millions are suffering with no end in sight. welcome bach now the u.s. has pledged to take sudan off its list of terrorism state sponsors and in exchange it once called him to pay out hundreds of millions to terrify and true multan

diplomacy style of the american president on his sudanese counterpart took to twitter to discuss the deal. great news new government of sudan which is making great progress agreed to pay 335000000 dollars to u.s. tera victims and families once deposited i will lift sudan from the state sponsors of terrorism list thank you so much president trump we very much look forward to your official notification to congress rescinded the designation of sudan as a state sponsor of terrorism which has done too much well carney washington's list of terrorist states includes 4 countries don iran north korea and syria means they're subject to sanctions they can receive foreign aid from the u.s. there's also a ban on arms sales as well as a number of financial restrictions sudan was fast as a created a terrorist state off the hopper and al-qaeda needa a solid belgian. my

. brood added to all of the palestine chronicle believes the upcoming u.s. election played a big role in this latest move. of course this is a devastating. political statement and the issue then turned out not to be the about terrorism if that was ever the subject of the us consulate but it is about money i mean imagine what kind of precedent this is going to send not just

within that region but worldwide but i really think it was never about money in the 1st place trump is desperate to go back to his supporters and to claim another foreign policy victory essentially because in 2 days a would be another debate that would focus wisely on foreign policy so he needs to go and talk about his achievements and so in addition to the immigrants and be the leaders of his achievements asar as he saw in some this is even more about u.s. elections that money percent. well in a historic move the u.s. government has slapped charges on tech giant google it's a key is to file a criminal is meant to stop monopolies on online such as advertising the north it's one of the most significant legal challenges to a tech company in decades. well

not issue of monopoly and still google holds 88 percent of the us such market with 94 percent some astonishing number almost all such as a current on it services washington also alleges that the tech companies suppresses innovation by you looking up distribution through contracts with a poll but it's quantised a pa concern as this looks a lot like history while repeating itself i want to compare it to historically true the advent of the widespread use of the telephone in america about 100 years ago when the company called american telephone and telegraph owned everything including the manufacturing of the equipment so government let that ride for about

50 years and the prices got too high and the service got too bad and so they filed a lawsuit against a t.n.t. an antitrust suit and it resulted in a t.n.t. breaking up into regional companies and telephone service being opened up to competitors and all of that made life much much better for business and for american citizens now we have google which is considerably more complicated than a telephone number one because we're not quite sure what they're doing when you use the company's services for free and you can't figure out what they do to make money and what their product is that means the product is you and they're selling you and your data and we just don't know how certainly it should not be done behind closed doors under cover of darkness by only one company for its paw google bodies that will sit is don't paint for a lot and will only hurt consumers by pushing them to in feria rivals. people use

google because they choose to not because they're forced to or because they can't find alternatives this lawsuit would do nothing to help consumers to the contrary it would artificially probable over quality search alternatives raise phone prices and make it harder for people to get the search services they want to use what google has done is build themselves centrally a couple of different forms of monopolies within the marketplace one of them specifically though is with the android operating system which they say not only has google you know dominance in terms of being the largest operating system in the world but defaults that system to create google as the search they also also dominate the advertising market for online advertising as you know about 80 to 90 percent of all online advertising goes through directly through google and so the idea is that google has used an optimized its search engine its enjoyed operating system to be able to create market dominance and it's not necessarily because the public loves google so much as it is the fact that google has found a way to make themselves really the primary search engine online when it comes to

a mobile device. and finally the officer in charge of all weapons on a british submarine has a patent sunk to new depths not solve tragedy totting up for a walk after a night on the town and a shot to edwards dashti found out this is not the fust time. that event has found itself in choppy waters. fears over the nuclear button and what could happen if it was pushed an era has overshadowed humanity for decades so no one wants the trigger to be in the wrong hands certainly not drunk ones one lieutenant commander in charge of nuclear missiles on board a british royal navy submarine stationed in the united states was sent home last month after he allegedly arrived intoxicated for duty following a big night out and his fall from steady and sober hands were carrying a bag of grilled chicken and to work personally i go for fried on a hangover chicken aside an investigation has been launched where an individual's

conduct falls short of the high standards so we expect we won't hesitate to take the appropriate action while we don't comment on the detail there are numerous safety checks and processes to protect the safety and use of weapons the board all submarines while turning up hamet at most jobs is a sockpuppet offense most people aren't responsible for missiles and sensors on the u.k.'s nuclear deterrent vessels and the incident has rallied the twitter brigade who are calling for nuclear disarmament this is not reassuring me why not just remove your nukes and everything associated with them from scotland that would be more effective and next you don't to do to nation no for a nuclear warhead in a populated area is unthinkable let us make that impossible by destroying these weapons whose sole purpose is to vaporize everything and if our small bad enough in 2017 the submarines reputation took another dive then captain of the vessel was removed from his post after allegations he was having an affair with

a female crew member same year different incident 9 british sailors were kicked off the board after testing positive for cocaine and now another scandal has surfaced as a quarter of the crew tested positive for covert 19 after sailors went boozing despite a strict doctor measures so the h.m.s. vigilance submarine has found itself in deep trouble over the years giving new meaning to the old. additional sea shante all of what should we do with a drunken sailor early in the morning shout to edward starsky artsy london well that's all from us for the moment you can get little stories at all to know called social media platform that's today. seemed wrong why don't we just don't all. let me. get to shape

out these days become educated and in again trade equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart if we choose to look for common ground. americans love by and. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood the bargain you get a hope and then you know rebel right that's the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. and be really interesting to dial it back and think about the longer deeper history what housings meant in the united states not just that

question of the american dream but the bigger question of who the dream is and for . join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. you know when i'm going to be out there see i don't think about i don't many grown men not me and our 4. i kind of were on the ship on course if not the now i think it's higher than our. members from africa mafias conway's them safe and quick passage to europe but once they. leave they are enslaved they count speech util. will not some of them leave your mom and

i couldn't you know if this unit can get it out i mean. they sold the. lady just all caught of the important it was the persona that i can't even use coubertin warming. is your media a reflection of reality. in

presidential elections but if there's been one thing one thing that is consistently brought these 2 great warring factions together like no other has been their share dislike criticism and love affair with social media platforms from cries of dissent from asian 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 business information bots and q went on conspiracy theories or the republican screaming about liberal media slugs or 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 info demick so

stopping the spread on line. in bode demick really. what a word while republicans refused to attend the hearing because they were probably too busy losing their minds over twitter and facebook for refusal to promote the hunter biden laptop scandal which let's be honest is basically the republican version of the steel dossier except rather than p. tapes it's crack pipes and g.q. style bathtub shots the democrats on the committee readily feasted on the tall tales put forward on the dangers of fake news and this information by a quartet of experts quote unquote featuring former cia agent turned fake news guru cindy otis and the wilson center's this information fellow nina janko wittes. i'm sorry what in the hell is of this information fellow how do you become a distance or information fellow. these are good question.
