continue they're also saying that perhaps they should be limits on freedom of speech this comes as the french government to clamp down that's included the closure of the mosque. for 6 months now we spoke to some of the people at the mosque. closed for the sole purpose of preventing terrorism and that's because on its facebook page it distributed that insight into hatred toward some your party in the days before his death now many of the people at the mosque said they didn't understand why it was being closed but they felt that there was a war being waged against islam including. young woman 20 years old who didn't want to show her face on camera but really expressed her concern about the current climate was going after mitchell graham was clearly i think close in the movie is unjustified punishes the whole community for the act of a single person who does not represent anybody it's sad that we are again being
5:04 pm
turnage by this kind of fact it's an excuse to make a who a nice long who against us muslims in general and against mosques even though we never condone such an act it is forbidden in our religion. there is no justification for cornish and 1300 worshippers because of one person when i was on the mosque has been calm there were no problems there is a church nearby we have never had any problems between us some teachers have of course expressed concern about teaching this civics class in the wake of the beheading of samuel patti the president michel was clear wednesday night that those lessons would continue he said that they would not real back in the face of cortin's as others will and it comes as french schools are due to receive a new book which contains all of those controversial political and religious cartoons that will be available for students at the schools and as those images to
5:05 pm
show controversial images of the muslim prophet mohammed were broadcast on buildings in france on wednesday now a draft bill is due to be published in december as to how france is looking to do you with this issue of radical islam and how it's going to protect france from foreign influences but of course all of this comes to the late the sun your patty who was beheaded on friday of last week. joining us now live for more on this is writer american view thank you very much for being with us here on our team international. now if we get right down to it france is cracking down on radical islam so it seems will this new campaign succeeded do you think and by that what does success actually look like. though this campaign cannot serve succeed without tackling the state coco's is
5:06 pm
a founding notably arabia and top but i recall and because of no one recalls it that president may call himself recognize it in 2717 he recognized the involvement of these 2 countries in the financing of the radical political is that it isn't and nothing has been done since this is the corrosion only only last year he present backroom assumed the sale of arms to so do you arabia. by saying that he had guarantees that they would not be used in the war against yemen it's it's ridiculous and from 22008 to 2017 saudi arabia was our 2nd largest arms trading partner. and i'm not just talking about our entire our general political class which is under. financial pressure i could also
5:07 pm
talk above the. the right to choose a president sarkozy excepted qatar's a shameless financing for for a single speech. that's the main problem i think so if we go back i want to touch on something that you talked about that this is actually been going on for a while france has been grappling with terrorism for years if there are so many known extremists out there why were they arrested a long time ago is this effort too little too late. of course her government didn't hesitate to prove it didn't arrest yellow vests as a preventive measure last year but you can't unless you fall into a brute a betrayal or an s. on fascism preventively arrest people for terrorism without proving that they intended to do so. no the only intelligent thing that does not further
5:08 pm
restrict of freedoms would at least to be to to to break are and i insist with those media of all countries of so do you are a b.n. qatar i must say that we have all the files on this i can refer to through the excellent work of the journalist richard lobby here in particular but we have or other works its all all written and proven so the current situation of mosque has been shut down for allegedly inciting the killing that took place the beheading worshippers feel that they are being unfairly targeted for something that they had nothing to do with. what's your view is there a middle ground here. o.-r. at this stage of the investigation i cannot substitute myself for the investigators or even less for the justice system but of course them of the result of terrorism is this precisely to push france to blame and suit condemned injustly.
5:09 pm
to make france to condemn unjustly in order to or to set a muslim competitor against the rest of the nation fall for this not sue to happen we we must be as severe as we are just religions do not pose any problem as long as they do not claim to govern the political arena that's the principles of a secular security as i'm in front. present macron have said that hundreds of organisations have actually been shut down over the past 3 years over alleged extremist links we have not heard a lot about that yet there wasn't enough to stop the latest terrorist attack. is there more under the surface here or are we just looking at the the proverbial tip of the iceberg. but i think if you close down an association it risks being reborn if you do not cut off the sources of funding which are i repeat abroad
5:10 pm
terrorism is it is a state matter i recall that recently in connection with the united states saudi arabia sense but not into afghanistan certify the soviets then it's advanced it's spawned in the battle cans in there in iraq then in syria it's supported political resumes in in jewry and tunisia metro i must mechanize it's a like it's used for this is he had the courage to acknowledge this this facts of the financing but to do nothing when you know that's that's called being an accomplice. all right roger american view very interesting to hear your thoughts looking forward to our next conversation thank you for being with us here on arch international thank you. but new covidien 1000 restrictions in britain have seen politicians do battle the mayor of great man greater manchester has lashed out at westminster saying the lockdown in his region will push people into

5:12 pm
kind of sufficient financial package from the central government now initially the mayor had said that his team had clustered 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 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 won't 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 it's your place instead think about giving
5:13 pm
people the correct financial support people are 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 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 classified as tier 3 that means a ban on mixing between households guidance against travel in or out of the area and the closure of all pubs we heard from local councillor allan brandt who thinks the drastic measures are misguided. i'm still not convinced that story 'd is a solution to the rising rates especially my brother in the time that 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

i would call him a different it's an old fart so i think that if you go out and you're in a little income job you're more likely to catch this and you're more likely although it's problems so if the lights were out of a caucus on the front page then all the. local come in they all get by the way 8. it will affect the poorest ringback members of. elsewhere in europe and the 2nd wave of covert 1000 is accelerating belgium france and spain are all on high alert those countries that now have case numbers far higher than during the peak back in spring putting a huge strain on health services in the spanish province of catalonia doctors say that they are down to the bare essentials and protective equipment to drive the point home a group of them to their underwear and some from our solona some spanish cities are being put under a 2 week lockdown poland where the government is adopting some new containment tactics including jim closures and some facilities have found ways to bypass the

u.s. election played a big role in this latest move. of course this is a devastating. political statement and then turned out not to be 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 world right 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 especially because in 2 days there will 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 as far as he's from sun this is really more about us elections that

5:21 pm
story for us according to the german media prosecutors are investigating a possible extremist link to an attack that took place on 2 tourists in the city of dresden early they smoke the president's public prosecutor's office has said that they have a 20 year old syrian national in custody he was the main suspect in this case and was arrested on tuesday evening. it's 20 year old syrian citizen has become the focus of the investigation the accused will appear before the judge of the dresden district court later today what we know about the main suspect is being pieced together from information coming from the authorities and old so press reports about him as well the 20 year old is said to have been here in germany since 2015 he failed in an application for asylum he had been sentenced to more than 2 years for conspiring to commit a serious violent act and also for recruiting or attempting to recruit people to
5:22 pm
the islamic state group it's understood the main suspect was only released from a juvenile detention center in september of this year now the attack on the 2 tourists took place on the 4th of october 1 of them a 55 year old man late to died in hospital from the wounds he sustained 53 year old man who was accompanying him has now returned to the west of germany where he was visiting from but is still said to be in a serious condition a knife was recovered from the scene where they were attacked and it's understood that that was used and in order to trace the main suspect who prosecutors say was arrested on choose day evening. to volunteer in a major corona virus vaccine trial has died in brazil the drug is being developed by the british firm astra zeneca along with oxford university and it's so far unclear whether the volunteer received the actual drug or a placebo now shares in the pharma company have fallen since the news emerged it is
5:23 pm
not the 1st a setback for the astra zeneca vaccine trials were put on hold in september after a volunteer fell sick with a rare spinal disorder this time however trials will continue following careful assessment of the skis and brazil there have been new concerns about safety of the clinical trial and the independent review in addition to the brazilian regulator have recommended that the trial should continue. we heard from dr mohamed it just adds britain's lancaster university he believes the death of a volunteer raises serious questions over the astra zeneca candidate vaccine if we do look onto the front runner is a vaccine oxford university also send it up or should vaccine is the one that have received the major concerns and terms of pauses in terms of having safety concerns and now having any well learned here. but a bit in the phase 3 trial which is the last 'd a trial i think that is really concerning and i think them that the real question
5:24 pm
will come about the da person has been vaccinated or was in the police at booker oak because it would be determinative for really seeing if the safety is good enough to come to trial or not but looking really onto the onto the trial continuation because brazilian government approved to carry on the trial meaning that probably the person has been end up in a super group but a game the question is not about that the transparency in providing all that information public headaches is meant taint a lot because if it does and it's really hard to interpret what we have any is the actual situation on the ground. the u.s. justice department has filed a lawsuit against google accusing the tech giant of using its financial clout to stifle competitors.
5:25 pm
shall. the antitrust case highlights the use of exclusive deals with handset manufacturers to make google the default search engine and that allows the tech giant to dominate the market for online search advertising political analyst dave perkins told us the case has historical parallels. i want to compare it to historically true the advent. of the telephone in america 100 years ago when the company called american telephone and telegraph everything including the manufacturing of the equipment so government. 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. and antitrust suit resulted in breaking up into regional companies and telephone service being opened up to competitors and all of that made life much much better
5:26 pm
for business american citizens now we have google which is considerably more complicated. 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. google has responded to the lawsuit calling it a deeply flawed and harmful to consumers. 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 prop up lower 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 built themselves centrally a couple of different forms of monopolies within the marketplace one of them
5:27 pm
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. a care home for disabled people in russia is under scrutiny being accused of forcing women to undergo sterilization residents and family members gave us their accounts of what happened. ready ready
