france continues its crackdown on hate speech and it was this the closure of a mosque thought to be linked to the beheading of a teacher who shared current patrols of the prophet muhammad. political trouble in the u.k. northern islam child up for students and for imposing tough new quota forest restrictions on the region we'll see people how they feel about. the economic package so you know it's just it will keep people alive they think they should put this into through about giving people the correct why not just move to voice people are going to be able to survive a bit in the u.s. says it will remove a suit on from its blacklist of state terrorism sponsors but it's coming with a hefty price tag to.

hello and welcome from everyone here and the news from moscow thanks for choosing also your company. well to start us off this hour in france people continue to mourn slain teach a sawmill pati the 47 year old was brutally killed last week in an act labeled as terrorism as part of its pledge to fight tate speech the government has ordered the closure of a mosque accused over links to the gruesome adda with all the latest developments his shotted to. 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 is 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 only last 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 and during that lesson he was talking about freedom of speech and he showed controversial images of the muslim 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 france 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 front saying they will defend to the end their right for their freedom of speech you. know 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 know much in which french college or high school who started this freedom and look at caricature it's 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 growing the islamic radicalism and in the last few

weeks president machen set out his stall in what was seen is being pretty much a long walk speech saying how he was going to fight against this and he talked about a draw for the bill that stayed 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 the mood of some real party president. has said he will continue this fight. that our citizens of the 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 summer party put their radical. thought the time used to run tickle islam so many people saying is enough being done to stop the rot. when you come over 1000 restrictions in the u.k. have seen politicians lock horns the mayor of greater manchester has lashed out at westminster saying the imminent lockdown in his region will push people into poverty now after talks to avoid those stricter measures collapsed on tuesday. we made a generous and extensive offer to support mentors 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 will be 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 politicised nation of it as seen by some with the labor. i'm holding out saying that the 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 to 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 a 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 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 do you think that they should place instead think about giving people the correct financial support to people aren't going to be able to survive a bit so. 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 dog when sore heads those we just had starting on friday great amounts to

will be put in the u.k. that top risk that it's called to 3 that basically means a ban on mixing between households guidance agape travel and while out an impact of the area on closure of all pubs we had from local council to labels the trust stick measure as misguided i'm still not convinced that 3 'd is the solution to the rising rates especially in my berth 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 no low income job you're more likely to catch this disease and you're more 'd likely to who are out problems so 'd it unless we have

a focus on interest but gauged the whole lot is the local income and that 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 belgium france and spain that were on high alert those countries now have case numbers far higher than joining the peak back in spring and the spanish region of catalonia doctors say that down t.v. essentials and protective equipment and to drive the point home to all far it is a group of them stripped to that underway in the central square of boston are now just one example of how people are struggling when across the continent but more now governments are battling to flatten this his pieta all of us and l.n. . 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. in the region goes into this full lockdown. and in poland which is one of those countries that reasonably well in the spring when we 1st saw covert 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 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. think about darcus nauru's if we are 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 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 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 you're 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 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 90 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 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 the neighbors. well still to come on the program it might cost them a pretty penny but sit on a sat to be taken off the u.s. terrorists i'll give you all the details of the show break. when almost seemed wrong roles just don't call. me old yet to shape out these days to come out ahead and gain from it because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for

common ground. there is a saying in washington don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good this appropriately describes the political player over another stimulus package and to center the standoff is who wins or loses just prior to the election in the meantime tens of millions are suffering with no end in sight. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sport this list i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. welcome back now the u.s. has pledged to take saddam off its list of terrorism states says in exchange it

wants khartoum to pay out hundreds of millions to terra victims and true modern diplomacy style the american president and his sudanese counterpart took to twitter to discuss the deal great news new government of sudan which is making great progress agreed to pay $335000000.00 to us tara victims and families once deposited i will lift sudan from the state sponsors of terrorism list thank you so much president from we very much look forward to your official notification to congress rescinded the designation of sudan as a state sponsor of terrorism which has caused sudan to march currently washington's list of terrorist states includes 4 countries so beyond sit on the us iran north korea and syria this means that i subject to sanctions they can't receive foreign aid from the u.s. that's also a ban on sales as well as a number of financial restrictions so don was initially does it made today

a terrorist state off the harboring al qaeda need a solid bin laden. super rude editor 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. 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. trump is desperate to go back to his supporters and to claim another foreign policy victory especially because in 2 days it would be another debate that will focus largely 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 a far as he saw in some this is even more about us elections than about money percent. it is historic lived the u.s. government has not charges on tech giant google its accused of violating rules meant to stop monopolies and unlined such as advertising the also as one of the most significant legal taught in just 2 tech company in decades. how.

all not issue of monopoly by the way it's thought that google holds 88 percent of the us such market with 94 percent of all mobile such as occurring on the says washington also alleges that the tech companies suppresses innovation by locking up distribution through contracts with apple but it's gonna stay packin says this looks a lot like history 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 everything including the manufacturing of the equipment so government let that ride for about 50 years in 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 pod google believes it will say it is deeply for a lot on will hot consumed by pushing them to end its opinion 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 optimize 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 raanjhanaa populace and this hour the officer in charge of all weapons on a british submarine has apparently sunk to new depths now it's after allegedly tagging up after a night on the town but as shot dead with dusty now explains this is not the 1st time h.m.s. vigilant 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 is far 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 where we don't comment on the detail there are numerous safety checks and processes to protect the safety and use of weapons aboard all submarines while turning up hamet at most jobs a cycle 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 that's not 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 got 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 shot to edit stuff. about that from me for today mccarron will be taking over from hair i know she wants you to join her at the top the hour as for me. the world is driven by

a dream shaped by the curse of those. who dares thinks. we dare to ask. americans love by and. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country a large understood the bargain you get a hope and then you'll 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 . thanks guys are fine it will survive until they see a movie that develops a. lot of t.v. this is the subtle bugs for dying at the moment i don't call them my though so stop . you know what i'm going to be out there see i don't think about love i don't mean you guessed it roman not new dorp or. a kind of what i wanted on course if i'm not good now i think it's higher than our. members who are sick of mafias promos them safe and quick passage to europe but once they arrive.

they are in sleeves because util. will not some of them leave your mom on and off it until you know if this unit will get it out i mean. they sold the. lead it's all gone court of the united. because the persona that a kid even thought all this garbage in woman led to.

this is boom bust the one business show you can't afford to mess up their montecito going to washington coming out the us is expanding thanks to ramp up the pressure against the north thing to pipeline between germany and russia we have an expert panel standing by on the b.o.j. . filing suit against internet giant google will discuss whether or not to be the 1st of many employees for a stock to break up the world's largest tech company we have a lot to get to so let's get. the north stream to saga continues as united states is stepping up its efforts to block the north stream to pipeline which would provide natural gas from russia to germany u.s. secretary of state my pump aoe says the u.s. is creating a coalition of nations to help prevent the pipeline from being completed the pipeline is supposed to provide a major cost benefit to the german energy market with natural gas being delivered

directly without any intermediaries the u.s. backed by poland baltic nations and ukraine has long been seeking to disrupt the pipeline that will carry russian gas to germany via the baltic sea joining me now to discuss the. trust fund swan and former u.k. member of parliament george galloway thank you for being with us today and already the united states has put placed sanctions on this project in fact in december of last year those think sions forced a swiss company to abandon the project what does the u.s. talking about doing this time. yes so what the u.s. is really doing and you know you know i'm not a fan of sanctions really on any level where i disagree with them pretty much in principle but this to me seems to be maybe the worst example of how sanctions are being used you have 2 countries here that have agreed germany and russia to have a natural gas pipeline that would deliver fuel from russia directly to germany

without any intermediaries and the germans want to do it because it drives down costs for them the russians want to do it because it means profits and money for them great so 2 countries agree on this and the united states decides no we can't have this because they claim that this would somehow in danger to the energy independence of germany it would endanger europe in fact by pompei of the secretary of state is using this act essentially called the piece of the protecting europe's energy security act of 2019 to justify why the u.s. is placing same sions on germany and russia in order to try to block this pipeline as you said they already stopped a swiss company from being involved in it who quit the project with a very small amount left 93 percent of this pipeline is now constructed but the u.s. doesn't want to leave it alone they want to stay involved and they want to literally force their will on these 2 sovereign nations who should have the right and the sovereignty.
