teachers in france demand better protection as the nation reels from the shock of samuel l. potties murder at the hands of a terrorist. us mind is many many things it is a tale of terror my position needs to be protected. also this hour a 14 year old boy caught up in the war between armenia and azerbaijan tells r t what his family's lived through and how they got to safety. completely done nobody in tangata link it until today new jersey often might still would have been ruled out of the law. and public anger boils over in the italian city of naples as a region wide lockdown takes up the fact calling a surge in coronavirus leases their.

international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 10 pm welcome to the program. teachers and friends are speaking out in the wake of a colleague's murder last week many say they're facing unacceptable daily risks while at work we heard from english teacher a letter on 0 tragedy detected last week that. mind is many many things it's a tale of terror teachers in strong are expected to do a lot and it sounds like we will be expected to even more trees and many ills in society and i know my colleagues and i are ready to take on many challenges that ish teachers are really under the threat of islamic terrorism. and we should not

ask ourselves here's how you will teach kids should ask ourselves serious how we will protect the school itself and are surrounding some of the school. history teacher a samuel party was beheaded by a terrorist on october the 16 the outside his school in a suburb of paris he had received online death threats after showing cartoons of the prophet muhammad to his class a suspected killer an 18 year old refugee of chechen origin was later shot dead by police many french people see that tragedy as an attack on the entire nation but opposition is not 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 on except for reasons only to vote on that if you did the values of the republican on the list and it's also a tribute to not only to this person who died today but to all the teachers who taught us those values system and it is sometimes haunt but it was important for us to be here before the poem the french teachers' union has stressed that staff should be able to organize their work as they see fit free from fear and the

aftermath of the killing present mccrone bound to crack down on islam a 63 miss em. again says that his profession needs better protection yes of sentiment but also tells the story of how as a slow sites you weep you 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 a professional not just a profession well then let's start by policing shuras when they say that something is wrong i'm not sure that's still i'm just stunned how important this is i'm not sure that the french state will put enough money and people into said she huge challenge. after the death of a party of the french government shut down a mosque accused of inciting the killing and it's also proposed some legal changes . to 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 petit and the school's 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 . but the issue of integration now in the spotlight the interior minister weighed in on ethnic foods in front shops his comments did not go down well are to charlotte a story. radicalization and how it happens is now once again headline news in france 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. his only shocked me to go

into a supermarket and see that there would be one type of ethnic food selection and another one next to it domino went on to say this is how community terrorism begins it's a term loosely translates as identity and it's also used to describe those who don't comply or spec 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 restaurants streets like this one here in paris offer a plethora of selection from turkish to chinese italian to indian cuisine all the way to along with supermarket aisles setting people on the pole to become bad french citizens. i think it's important to respect their very city and that should be reflected in supermarkets this should be everything for everyone including. there is a demand for something 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 i mean 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. make

food on the markets but i think it's up to big business owners to do it in fighting separatism so move though do you think domino's comments. should be treated. the minister is right. is the beginning of communitarianism. should be available in the general along with others but having a dedicated all is the beginning of communitarianism because we know that everyone who is muslim. to me a minister says he doesn't have one word to take back but given that perhaps his badly phrased thoughts have been made in the often brutal terror attack. and while a terror trial is underway over the 2015 attack on a supermarket many incensed it seems is not so much cooking up a storm with his words but wading into some very hot water.

paris. there's been no let up to the fighting between armenia and azerbaijan despite international peace efforts on saturday authorities in the disputed region reported an aerial bombardment by azerbaijani warplanes earlier this week women and children were evacuated from the city of what occurred after the shelling of surrounding villages many civilians have been caught in the crossfire and as this next story shows even the youngest have found courage. true you. don't look. up to a little thing. or does heidi compose the lady of

shalott spoke. in tongues i don't mean that our culture is i need to know what i find to be uncommonly good looking for. his words on call his son full stages a new tongue that he needed and get lost at sea world the whole book at last will wish me to find news i had to make on good con you would not. could all just a little twist. on. the it's. not you guys special not for you does trust i me if i get it but i asked him 1st you got to let me know you're good. with the mekong. delta chick check over me on the phone with your own mess and they don't show knocking me down.

meanwhile azerbaijan 2nd largest city ganja has come under repeated missile attacks last week at least 13 civilians were injured and over 50 i'm sorry 13 civilians were killed and over 50 injured local war correspondent. reports. a few days after is a terrible tragedy people still come to the place he did by one of them we still see this through creature used to be in the fall when building just a couple of the single local solutions come he is really doing it to commemorate those who died of the tragedy and you can see flowers photographs of the victims here. a couple young man described as small children. that are couple or source the other in 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 for each of us this is our homeland this is our future and we can't stand this any more we look for it because this is where the steward looking glass to believe the few things you see in this is one it was just the engine of the sport it was several times you can tell over to install wind broken and to lose shells were fired in the presidential every once during the conflict he didn't home to do that. i woke up as a herd terribly loud rumble there was dancing black smoke with stories suffocating everything around was destroyed we don't understand why the target a civilian town we are far from the battlefield we are all one piece 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 just now and the key thing is that civilians were injured we don't want to live like this we want to live peacefully. so they come on the program this hour a lockdown order has been met by anger and defiance in southern italy. that story and more after this short break. thanks guys are saying it looks like. the delegates are. close to this is it this is the central plank the floor dying at the moment i don't call them i know it's a stop to.

welcome back to the program some drastic new coronavirus measures in the italian

city of naples have infuriated some locals the regional authorities announced the new lockdown on friday. oh. as you can see hundreds of protesters marched through the city and there were some tense encounters with police the rules were tightened after the number of daily infractions doubled and naples and this running region and a similar picture is playing out across europe as peter all reports. while the european continent creaks under increasing cases of covert 19 germany comparatively well however as cases here past 10000 today 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 musk's will have to be warned outside in any way you call and to maintain a 1.5 mi to distance from another person and that includes some of the german capital's most famous shopping districts while infection rates of going to have the number of germans willing to go to parties back in the spring 90 percent of people said this would have been to the highest order now that's dropped to 60 percent with almost 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 cross the 1000000 mark this week making them the 2nd nation after spaying to cross the mouth threshold. seeing a curfew to be extended. over the last few days the whole situation in our

country has continued to the right. level of the ars it is extremely hard. the coming weeks will be tough the number of deaths will continue to grow roots and the holes will serve to put the test to see if we do not succeed collectively and the whole thing we have for them is that we will be faced with a dramatic situation i will have to impose more severe measures. 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 and teaching tests for the european union despite those charged with tracking the pandemic for brussels are 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 building we can feel the flames yes we can smell the smoke these are all over r.t. . to the us now our democratic senators are calling on the f.b.i. enough to investigate joe biden and his son right before the election saying that the ongoing allegations over the family's business dealings are just a smear campaign by donald trump's team that's more here scaled up at. 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 call me was leading an

investigation and whether the trump campaign colluded with the russians a serious offense. where those investigations getting too close to home for the president the dismissal of director komi establishes a very troubling pattern well it turns out that 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 is an act is to take any actions intended to benefit president trump politically when the election succumbing to such pressure would deeply undermine our national security interests and could have devastating consequences for the resiliency of what 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 events a.b.c. spend 0 seconds on hunts abundant 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. archie new york. but he burgers and vegan sausages have lived to see another day after an attempt by the meat industry to bail those terms was rejected by the european parliament a group of farmers and lobbyist argued that words like sausage and burger should only be used to label items that contain meat and not applying them to a plant based versions as a form of cultural hijacking they also claimed it's confusing for consumers but their pain consumer organization took a different view consumers are in no way confused by is so steak or cheek be based sausage so long as it is clearly labeled as vegetarian or vegan terms such as

burger steak on plan least items simply make it much easier for consumers to know how to integrate these products within the meal. we're not going to discuss all this with luis davey is the head of campaigns and policy at the begin society in the u.k. and patrick holden a farmer and founding director of the sustainable food trust thank you both for joining us on the program louise if we can start with you the you has plenty of protected food names applying to wine seafood types of bread even and much much more why not play at the same rules to meet related food terms. but i think that the lady i mean he said seen sense on this issue and it's really common sense to make sure that consumers can understand the products that that buying and there's been no evidence of any confusion from people buying vegetarian burgers and suggest . you know i think you know there was something else you know your view is have they ever been to a shop and thought they were buying pork sausages and come home and found they were

vacant is a problem that just doesn't exist and you know it's very important focus he moves cheve be able to use the times better and sausage because they have to explain the texture of the style and how to use things that you know their common language may be said there's no reason that the meet. me to be should own those those terms patrick do you agree that this is a problem that doesn't exist that people aren't actually confused well i think that probably all but on that set the rowley 'd because i think that we should get into legal battles 'd about 'd language but what i do think is that people 'd are very confused about what should be to be sustainable and healthy the states and i think we need to make the case that sustainably produced meat critz those with burgers from baby grow all spread on the bills is absolutely compatible with addressing climate change all the other issues where tracing how well if people have ethical

objections to each in we all respect and if they want to call them because well i do not think we just have to go with it. doesn't seem like that will be changing anyways louise all rejecting the meat lobbies proposal the e.u. parliament extended restrictions bans on using dairy names like milk and cheese for non dairy food why the inconsistency do you think. i think it's a really bizarre decision and i don't understand it frankly and we already on he zing terms like cheese and milk and you'll get directly in the going and and products so now we're not allowed to say that it's a substitute for dairy milk and it's a no or an alternative to cheese and surely that's only going to kill and mean that there's confusion among consumers how do you describe what those products are unless you can reference the other products there are alternatives i'm really not clear as to why that go up 83 this week so i will be continuing to be you know to

to campaign for that be rejected and you know feature discussions because it's just it could pay very unhelpful to consumers that want to make more sustainable choices . patrick what do you make about decision. what it is it consistent don't have to agree with. the more consistent drugs or say that actually we should use condoms like milk and burkas to be associated with livestock or us and that would be bored logical but it is what it is that i think was just accept it. patrick right after the parliament vote an m.e.p. tweeted at reason prevailed and climate centers lost what do you make of that comment a. reason. i've obviously. the inconsistency started doesn't it so i mean recent what about what but what does that mean does it mean that recent ability one along with the other i think we need

to address the climate change crisis and work out what sustainable diets in relation to that really be and i think that sustainably produced livestock absolutely have a central place in puget diets but those people who don't have as they could have generations to easy reach where livestock products we have to accept that those who do have the absolute 'd right to week low based programs but i don't think that using the terms that livestock quote sukhoi is really acting the computer 'd but i don't think we should rule. though is there's an argument from the meat industry that vegetarian foods made to taste like meat are actually not very natural a european farming union called copacabana described them as a cocktail of chemicals and process product are they really all that healthy and if there's so much chemicals going into it. you know show the old me to attend just

make any how it plays actually and you know that to help people it wants an alternative all tends it's animal products as she said often that's for ethical reasons it may well be for health or environmental reasons i mean it is he just wait there for 10 days it's out there so make him very natural products like he pretty. and others may from me you know i might have protein fungus and salt all sorts of things like that and i think you'll start to talk about chemical use in the phase you're eating you know it's a good step it's a start might be to our animal and my culture sector because you know as and spile takes all sorts of pesticides and chemicals involved in preparing animals to say you know i think we asked if he would like to see more people it's up to healthy healthy people and they speak in diets and eat in the process days in moderation in the same as way as people cheese and i'll never rest i probably should be eating processed face every day and so it's an issue that's not be just as it is for everybody patrick i saw you shaking your head there as i was asking that question is there something you wanted to comment on that. well i can't disagree that there

are many livestock products which are produced an unsustainable 'd ways but sabr applies to 'd plant based products we really shouldn't be eating genetically modified so it will calm boil it stated up recently pointed out we need to know the difference between sustainably and bones who stand to be produced like stuart rose but equally we need to do the same for plant based products and in my view many of the clone type products are produced in highly unsustainable ways and we need to be the experts we need to educate all souls' about making sure that we know the difference. well we're talking about sustainability this is a question really for both of you are global meat production is now 5 times higher than in the 1960 s. and we're seeing a rapid shift to meat based diets in the developing world surely that trend isn't sustainable either please do you want to start. yeah i mean i would agree with that and that's a huge swathe of academic and scientific evidence now calling for

a transition towards more plant based diets and we need to see that have been happening frantic at the age of 80 and here in the u.k. and you know globally today and you know clearly there are as happy as talking about how bad the farming is being alternative but maybe we need to learn gees and . if i mean just doesn't achieve an increased east of the increase yes appeal to the last say you know if we shift to plant based as we can so whole sorts of environmental problems as well as it can support public health you have to take a fuel consuming healthy diets and of course as a compassionate and call basin to do that as well patrick your response. well the truth is that if we're going to rebuild the cotton the 3 loss from the sort it might well be going so we probably don't need to go to rotate ins which have a building element a number that's normally grown in clay and the only way that we can convert that

grass and clover to prove that we 'd can beat this through reuben is articles that made speaker cheap so although i accept that plants are an important part of going to us i think that if we're going to support problems who want to become more 'd rigid or upset and sustainable we need to eat what those who produce using those kind of practices and that will include the rights cloying of livestock products certainly we don't want him to to chicken we don't want into the whole we don't want milk and dairy products going to make it gary's we need to know the decrypts we need to exercise 0.00 in the right way to achieve. all right i'm afraid we're going to have to leave it there i want to thank you both for joining us on the program today we've been speaking with luis davies head of campaigns and beacon society in the u.k. and patrick holden a farmer and founding director of the sustainable food trust thank you oh thanks. doubts are wrap up of the day's top news for now but don't forget you can always find us on many of your favorite social media pop forms like twitter and facebook

for up to the minute reports. i'm max kaiser this is the kaiser reports a lot of people talking about is this the beginning of china as the world's superpower or but they're not thinking about another end of an era in that would be this central.
