thanks for justice. here in shock among teachers in france off the one of their own was brutally murdered in the campus on last week we speak to an educator there. is many many things to tell my position to be protected. poland's top court plans almost all abortions sparking nationwide protests and begging the age old question right to life all freedom of choice. and while the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan over new corner karabakh rages on a 14 year old boy tells r.t. his story of saving his family dragging them out of the conflicts both while under fire. from full fledged body in the tangata mean karpal she's a knee jerk to bite strong i mean.

a very warm welcome you watching r.t. international with me in the queue airing. the horrific murder of a french to history teacher last week has left many in a profession traumatized with teachers now fearful of the freedom to speak and instructors at risk and wish teacher gabriel a ton 0 told is the impact the gruesome attack has had. tragedy that happened last week the death of a colleague of mine is many many things it's a tale of terror teachers in france are expected to do a locks and it sounds like we will be expected to even more presents many ills it's a sight and i know my colleagues and i are ready to take on many challenges but if 2 jurors are really under the threats of islamic terrorism then we should not ask ourselves here's how you will teach kids should ask ourselves serious how we will

protect the school itself and the surroundings of the school samuel pads he was beheaded in a terror attack attack last week outside his school in a suburb of paris the south backs an 18 year old refugee of chechen origin with latest dead by police is possible he was angry at the party had shown his statements cartoons of the prophet mohammad and a class on freedom of speech his fellow educators are still reacting to the horror of his murder. when i was going to snow i told myself that it could have been me and beyond that he was just going to work doing his job and he was killed for unacceptable reasons given all that if the values of the republican on the and it's also a tribute not only to this person who died but to other teachers who taught us those values and it is sometimes haunt but it was important for us to be here on the bomb the french teachers union highlighted the teachers should be able to organize their work however they like free from fear and the aftermath of the killing president

mccrum vowed to crack down on islamist extremism gabriel a ton zio again says that his profession needs protection. but it also tells the story of how as associates. teachers we are i believe my profession needs to be respected my profession needs to be protected if the question is how do we protect the professional not just the profession well then let's start by policing shuras when they say that something is wrong i'm not sure that's still i understand how important this is i'm not sure that the french state will put enough money and people into such a huge challenge and meanwhile since the death of some your party of france has cracked down on hate speech the government ordered the closure of a mosque accused of having links to the gruesome murder it's also propose changes on the legislative level. the defense council has already decided to add 2 new

provisions to the draft law against extremism firstly to reinforce protection for public servants by penalizing those who exert pressure on them or those who put pressure on public institutions their words or actions as happened in the case of samuel petty and the school principal secondly the possibility of sanctioning those who post personal information online that in danger someone's life as they did in the teacher's case along with the issue of integration now in the spotlight the interior minister weighed in on ethnic foods in french shops then with met with mocking backlash artesia on defense he delves into the issue. radicalization and how it happens is now once again headline news in front now while most questions are focusing on the impact of social media poverty and foreign influence the country's interior minister has come up with this suggestion as one root of the problem i was about to show has always shocked me to go into

a supermarket and see that there would be one type of ethnic food selection here and another one next to it domino went on to say this is how community terrorism begins it's a term that loosely translates as identity and it's also used to describe those who don't comply or suspect the idea of secularism here in france that's a separation of religion and state and even though the interior minister says he doesn't want to put it ethnic food dollars in supermarkets it's comments have caused a stir with many mocking him. down

on also thinks is to big business owners to do their bit in fighting separatism so what restaurant streets like this one here in paris offer a plethora of selection from turkish to chinese italian to see all the way to along with supermarket aisles setting people on the path that become bad french citizens. i think it's important to respect their very city and that should also be reflected in supermarkets. this should be everything for everyone including. there is a demand for something you should be then. that's one of the things are so great about france is that we do have people from lots of different countries and i'm. american and i live in france for about 5 years and i don't really think. normal if i go in the supermarket i don't really think about that so i don't really see the harm behind this despite the pushback the interior minister says he doesn't want ethnic

food oils supermarkets but who does think it's up to big business owners to do their bit in fighting separatism so move though do you think domino's comments have merit and should be treated just as. the minister is right. is the beginning of communitarianism. should be available in the general aisles along with other food but having a dedicated doll is the beginning of communitarianism because we know that everyone who is muslim or jewish the interior minister says he doesn't have one word to take back but given that perhaps his badly phrased thoughts have been made in the aftermath of the brutal terror attack french teacher said patty and while a terror trial is underway over the 2015 attack on a kosher supermarket many are incensed it seems it's not so much cooking up

a storm with his words but wading into some very hot water. auti paris. a sad day for women's rights that's what activists are calling a ban on poland by poland's top court on abortions on the grounds of fetal defects the ruling have incensed many. thank you. on thursday thousands across the country took to the streets in the capital riot police were out in force using crowd control measures protesters denounced the governing law and justice party a long time proponent of tougher abortion laws it's also been accused of packing the constituent the constitutional court with loyalists. well the ruling bans almost all abortions in poland only last year 98 percent of terminations in the country were done because of severe fetal abnormalities but that will now be outlawed however abortions due to rape incest or threat to the mother's life are

still legal earlier we put the issue up for debate. well i think the thing with human rights in general especially the right to life is that they shouldn't be dependent on what other people think slavery back in the day used to be a democratic option that didn't make it morally justified in the same goes for abortion every child deserves to be a wanted child and every mother deserves to be well and mother and as we see in countries like poland as was recently for the same reasons in northern ireland that we on the one hand hear these conservatives saying that they want to protect life on the other hand those exact same governments on the exact same administrations that cut supports for disabled people supports for single mothers and cut support for special education services for people with seem disabilities well i would like to clarify that no one in the pro-life camp is wanting anyone to be an unwilling mother right saying that you should have the right to abort your fetus is not the

same thing as saying you must be a parent for the rest of your life adoption is always an option and one i strongly encourage if someone is finding themself that on time pregnancy and does not want to be a mother was unprepared to be a mother but to say that because the person who conceived you doesn't want to be a parent therefore your right to life is worth that that is completely ridiculous there are many many children out there who grew up with parents that were at the best and perhaps maybe didn't want them i'm sure many of them would take issue with the idea that just because their parents weren't necessarily the most willing supporters of them that they should have been aborted or that would have been all right to do it's it's just something that's fair to say what this highlights is run by the people who make the laws because they're not preventing these abortions from happening what they're saying is we're ok with these abortions as long as they happen in a different legislated legislation you know they're not send we disapprove of your abortion to be just a group of them will hold their noses against you happening in this country who

reject is a citizen i think you travel to a different country and then your life back once it happens it is complete. chris i'm sure that if the polish had government had implemented any measures to prevent women from traveling to different countries in order to get abortions then these pro-choice advocates would be up in arms even further of these suppose it restriction of these freedoms you know the international conversation about abortion is very interesting as well abortion is often touted as a woman's right but we don't really hear pro-choice advocates talk about the issue of sex selective abortion right there are countless numbers of female fetuses around the world who are at risk of being aborted on the basis of their biological sex where are the feminist protectors standing up for these fetuses our lives and their lives as women matter as well and what we had in northern ireland when we made it illegal was people who were arrested for have an abortion so if you want to go and arrest every single woman in poland or every single woman in america have an abortion go ahead but that will be one 3rd of the adult woman population and nobody

can support that. for weeks off to being reignited the tensions that tensions in the disputed region of going to cower backs him up on on saturday all thought he supported aerial bombardment of the city of marketing as from by azerbaijani planes earlier this week women and children were evacuated from the city off the shelling of surrounding villages many civilians caught in the crossfire and then have to take the future into their own hands and as this next story shows even the youngest have found courage. true political nuts you don't look. to a little jewish. or decided to post lead here say me a troll.

john lowballing in tangata means that our culture is i need to know what i mean to me uncle luke looking for. his good song called son forced it to me tongue that he then killed off secured the whole book of love. i had to leave it on good i was calling you would not she. could all just a little so it was. gold medal monthly link on its little to. you guys special not for you on your you know how you get it but ask them. to let me know. if you make up are a function of the chick chick over me at home and they don't show knocking me down . meanwhile azerbaijan 2nd largest city of ganga has come

under repeated missile attacks also week at least 13 civilians were killed and over 50 and as local war correspondent elmer massai reports. a few days after is a terrible tragedy people still come to the place he did by one of them we still see croucher used to be in the apartment building just a couple of the single local solutions come here every day to commemorate those who died of the tragedy because he flowers photographs of directives here and there a couple of young men described as a small children. or so the story of our country is currently at war and if there is no unity of one common thing to free our territories we will never win and this daily heroism is very

important feature of us this is our homeland this is our future and we can't stand this anymore look at you call to service to are looking glass to believe you can still see this is one tool that does distance hinge on the spot it soberly finds you total over 10 saw wasn't broken and ultimately shells were fired only residential areas during the conflict he didn't home to duty. i woke up as a herd terribly loud rumble there was dancing black smoke with stories suffocating everything around resister worried we don't understand why the target a civilian town we are far from the battlefield we all want peace we don't want war . my parents are in hospital now they were injured because of the artillery strike everything they gained throughout the years everything was destroyed in a few minutes their houses are nothing but dust now and the key thing is that

civilians were injured we don't want to live like this we want to live peacefully. this week a member of the french national assembly valerie boyer called for recognition of nagorno-karabakh sin dependence she insisted that france could not stay neutral and should condemn the actions of azerbaijan and turkey we spoke to her and also asked azerbaijani foreign ministry spokesperson to comment. it's also a school took in france and the rest of europe put up with what is going on in the guernica with a situation where every means who leave there could again suffer genocide i remind you that as a by john attack nagorno-karabakh and at amenia a sovereign state so there was a unilateral declaration of war the only aim of which was to exterminate the armenian population to remain neutral is irresponsible and dignified and most importantly in affective this is not a situation where we can remain neutral we are seen the mass murder of civilians

the military intentions of turkey and as a bridge on a clear one country x. on behalf of other one in relation to armenia and again and they leave well to take nagorno-karabakh is a trophy and then taken meaning there are several ways to solve this conflict the 1st is diplomatic a good look at about should urgently be recognized as an independent state the 2nd is to send international troops on the e.u. in men date here was a strong advocate for media in private national as of late and the person who is afraid of us or her strong ties with her mean a lot in problems so obviously the lawmaker matter a battery bill he continues to turn a blind eye to the aggressive policy against azerbaijan i'm curious whether she is there well or poorly bought the deliberate shouting group as it were just a severely us in that tolerance if you i get far away from the call like that get

in your city killing more than 20 syrians in a one lot and i'm curious whether she is whether. civilian death toll in azerbaijan which is rose to the $65.00 so human it's teenager of 16 years old was killed by smart we saw the attack in his garden while correct in person or in packer region so i'm curious how she would respond to these attacks player mia obviously as a. madame bovary where you should be where you are from the man who was the international law which is involved respecting your intent to states and good visibility of the national borders but states. marches down skirmishes with police found how some italian ferment the 1st night of a new covert curfew or take a low cost of a short break. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only to be engaged i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those words. thinks. we dare to ask.

welcome back one of us go back to europe now where all across the continent tens of millions are facing tough a coronavirus restrictions and my time curfew is in place in many towns causing considerable anger. oh. ok. as you can see the 1st night in italy didn't go well hundreds of protesters marched through naples and had some tense encounters with police we general authorities have imposed a daytime curfew there as well and they're recommending the rest of the country follow suit with more on how your opinions are faring under these new code because his piece all the. while the european continent creaks under increasing cases of

covert 19 germany is comparatively well however as cases here past 10 found a day for the 1st time those in charge of public health in germany are preparing for the worst. the situation has become very serious but we can slow down the spread of the virus if we take precautions in a systematic way although we have to expect that the virus will continue to be transmitted in some regions of germany and the spread may be uncontrolled from saturday masks will have to be worn outside in any way you can to maintain a 1.5 meted distance from another person and that includes some of the german capital's most famous shopping districts while infection rates of go off so too have the number of germans willing to go to parties back in the spring 90 percent

of people said this would have been at the highest order now that's dropped to 60 percent with almost half saying they had been to a gathering with more than 10 people in the last 4 weeks it's a much different picture in france where infections crossed the 1000000 mark this week making them the 2nd in nation after spaying to cross the threshold paris seeing a curfew said to be extended. over the last few days the whole thing tuition in our country have continued to to rate the circulation level of the virus is extremely high the coming weeks will be tough the number of deaths will continue to rise and our hospital services will be put the test if we do not succeed collectively in whole thing the epidemic will be faced with a dramatic situation and we'll have to impose more severe measures which the new has promised extra phones and testing capabilities to be rolled out across the

block to slow down the virus we need to test as much as possible and therefore the european commission is making available 100000000 euros from our emergency support instrument with this money we can buy between 15 and 22000000 rapid antigen tests for the european you. despite those charged with tracking the pandemic for brussels a far from confident about the situation. we are clearly into a 2nd wave we are waiting and we are expecting to see the cases rise even more with over a 1000000 cases in france and spain things seem relatively controlled here in germany however the fear is that this is akin to being in the attic of a burning building we can feel the flames yes we can smell the smoke these are all over our t. . a smoking gun or political slander democratic senators

are calling on the f.b.i. not to investigate the business activities of joe biden and his son and insist it will harm american democracy and is just a smear campaign by donald trump trump a team with more his artie's. who can forget the russia gate hysterics and the demand from u.s. senate minority leader chuck schumer that the f.b.i. investigate allegations against trump regarding collusion that's a serious issue and needs a thorough thorough investigation we know director komi was leading an investigation and whether the trump campaign colluded with the russians serious offense where those investigations getting too close to home for the president the dismissal of director komi establishes a very troubling pattern for the chinese out there senator chuck schumer is far less interested in looking into the shady dealings of the biden family in ukraine

surprise surprise. we therefore urge you to resist pressure from president trump and other poets as an act is to take any actions intended to benefit president trump politically only the election succumbing to such pressure would deeply undermine a national security interests and could have devastating consequences for the resiliency of our democracy the democrats seem quite nervous about opening this can of worms remember hillary clinton using a private server for her e-mails similar story what's interesting this time however is that the democrats' message of nothing to see here folks just move on that message is being echoed by media outlets we don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories and we don't want to waste the listeners and readers time on stories that are just pure distractions and quite frankly that's where we ended up this was a politically driven event and we decided to treated that way now that was national public radio the media research center

a media watchdog that leans conservative said the biden family scandal has gotten a little almost no coverage in the aftermath of the recent trump and biden town hall event a.b.c. spend 0 seconds on hunts a budget and d.c. spend just 6 minutes 9 seconds on hundreds of scandals c.b.s. led the brule coast networks with a still measly 10 minutes and 33 seconds print media as well usa today has dropped op eds on the subject usa today didn't want to run my hunter biden column this week my regular editor is in vacation and i guess everyone else was afraid to touch it. it seems like the party line of the american elite is do not discuss the biden family e-mails and the so-called free press is in full compliance once again american mainstream media shows us what it's all about it will happen archie new york. mother world news in brief now starting with unrest in chile police find
