products are removed from shelves from portraits of among about crawling all burnt in some muslim countries as attacks go back over a crackdown on suspected is the miss for the but adding in paris we get reaction from. the government still goes on to divide us people plead separate groups in society and it is not the solution to do you have to be camping out on the balcony and then to muslim a tree. trunk supporters clash with those who oppose his candidacy in times square we look at whether the 2 hopefuls really have that much different to offer americans. to the news of russian evolutionary biologist establishes that there are about

20000 mutations of coronavirus you talked to him about the implications later in the oh. i think it's a blessing the crown of arse is evolved more slowly than the other are a new virus but still it's a very quick process. good morning and thanks for joining us here on r.t. international. president has again publicly questioned the mental health of his french counterpart as anger in the muslim world over a crackdown on suspected is the mists in france intensifies this was launched after a recent beheading in paris critics though say that this blatant islamophobia. last week at present macron as he was paying tribute to sammy and patty the teacher who was beheaded he said he wouldn't were no it's those cartoons controversial cartoons

of the prophet mohammed now that has sparked reaction from many muslim majority countries including those comments from the turkish president. who said twice over the weekend that president macron needed his mental health checked. needs mental health treatment what else can be said to a head of state who does not understand freedom of belief and who behaves in this way to millions of people living in this country who are members of a different faith or france is incensed by those comments describing them as being an insult and as a result of that it's recall that back from ankara in the absence of any official to a can of condemnation or solidarity from the turkish authorities after the terrorist attack in gaza flan sent on the rain now comes hateful and slanderous propaganda against france in recent days expressing their will to stir hatred against us president words the regard to president on the ball we call on you to stop this

dangerous spiral of confrontation well the muslim countries are also unhappy about the closure of muslim associations and a mosque here in france in reaction to that beheading of some iraqi these organizations in the mosque said to have extremist sympathies they have been protests in different countries such as jordan libya and in god's earth photos of president macro burned now there's also been a call for a boycott on french products with some supermarkets in kuwait already moving certain products from their shelves and the organization for islamic cooperation which represents 57 countries around the world has described this statement by macworld what's happening here in france as being something that is likely to harm from. listen in relations well we've been speaking to some people here in france about the current atmosphere and there is gesturing for many that there is

a sense of islamophobia that's going on and that muslims in general are being punished for what the few radicalised people have been doing government still goes on to divide us it will create separate groups in society and it is not the solution. maybe some people who come in but not everybody the road to religion is they want so we can close a police. ask. government to calm the tensions down today we have to be careful and not developing and then to muslim hatred it makes no sense and it is dangerous i don't think that there is an optimal solution it would be utopian to think the opposite but dialogue is a better solution for me muslims are not guilty for the terror attacks the government is not responsible either so precisely both have to discuss the problem find solutions and respect each other so well back or remains pretty steadfast

tweeting on sunday evening that nothing will make us retreat in regards to those cartoons and the publication of them it seems that both sides are hardening down battening down the barriers and it looks like this divide is likely to get deeper. in the wake of the recent attack in france the french president stressed radical islam is amiss a major menace to the republic there are other threats facing western democracies a survey by the university of cambridge found below kneels around the world are less satisfied with democratic institutions than previous generations research a survey nearly $5000000.00 people from our $160.00 plus countries studied the round for 47 years and people in the thirty's across the decades were asked about their views of democracy and with the subsequent generation reporting less satisfaction and trust in the political system than the previous one so we gauge people's opinions in paris london and san francisco to see if the study's findings

hold up. i don't necessarily believe that it works the way should. i still believe in democracy but i don't have confidence in the current government the sense that for democracy is there but i don't think it's being implemented properly i think the state of democracy is more risk than it has been before just a simple hold that the system is looking increasingly like a dictatorship to me personally i think it's true that it's broke. stone educated enough that i can say kind of because we're not really in anymore our generation is in there you see people that are. 506070 that are running the government the way that they see fit and now really taking the younger generation into consideration young people being very will be

a recently read. a. student. not being able to afford a mortgage that kind of thing and i think that's fair i didn't see them believing that democracies i think a lot of it is just a lack of confidence that the politician has. got any integrity so i think people of my generation do not trust the system we get the impression the 1st thing to change nothing. now the previous presidential election in the u.s. in 2016 saw nearly half of all those eligible not voting at all and though it's hard to predict turnout this year one thing is already certain the extreme polarization of american society is if bearing witness to that violent scenes unfolded in new york's iconic times square on sunday at a donald trump supporters going into a vicious fistfight but the point. i was i have trump supporters brawled on the street with

a female and demonstrated at least we're also seeing the handcuffs on to an injured man lying on a stretcher. well the face of it donald trump and joe biden are at opposite ends of the political spectrum but whichever contender gets voted into office some suggest u.s. foreign policy could end up saying pretty much unchanged on the scale of more pain looks and why the democratic nominee may not be the alternative and tea trumpets are hoping for. the past 4 years have proved to us that donald trump is a businessman he is not a diplomat is diplomatic failures have created a lot of tension around the world and it seems the whole world is holding its breath until november hopes for biden calling the waters might be high however you turning out all of trump's decisions might not be as easy as it looks and it might be well rather odd let's take donald trump's most recent moves the peace deals between arab countries and israel now they're hailed by some but met with fury by

others biden has claimed he will move in the same direction and of course he would not reverse the decision by trump to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem a biden has said ministration will build on these steps challenge other nations to keep pace and work to capitalize on these growing toni's to move forwards when a 2 state solution and a more stable and peace who region now let's move on to america's most bitter enemy iran now biden says he is an enthusiastic supporter of the iran nuclear deal he has denounced trump's move to withdraw the us a from the deal and says he's enthusiastic about the possibility of rejoining the best way to do that of course would be for president truman to rejoin the iran deal and build on but seeing as how donald trump has ripped up that deal and then murdered a top iranian general it doesn't look like iran will be back to the table any time soon we will pull you back the j. c.p.o. a table still exists the u.s.

left it if they want to return to it it won't be that easy they cost billions tens of billions or maybe hundreds of billions of dollars worth of damage to our people they caused the deaths of our people they attacked our people and caused our great general smarter democracy if you ask for staying in the middle east's do you remember all those promises from trump about bringing the troops so we are working to finally end a marriage. his longest war and bring our troops back home now when asked if he agreed with the president here joe biden actually responded with yes i do as bizarre as it sounds yes i do as long as there's a plan to figure out how he's going to deal with isis on to north korea where there seems to be no silver bullet to resolve the tensions donald trump tried to play the diplomat and met with the north korean leader 3 times however he was unable to break through the stalemate and it looks like biden's chances with north korea are

also pretty slim as relations between the former vice president and kim jong un have also hit rock bottom he's talked about his good buddy who's a. i would be putting pressure on china to put pressure on korea i would not meet with the supreme leader who said joe biden is a rabid dog rabid dogs like biden can heard lots of people of they're allowed to run about they must be beaten to death with a stick before it's too late yes on paper both candidates seem to have very different foreign 'd policies however u.s. media admits that there will be very little chance of significant change if biden takes the oval office donald trump which himself as an outsider remember well it appears that he really did have no experience when it came to dealing with friends and foes trump has left us foreign policy in tatters he has pulled out of many key

international agreements however what would change with the reins of power handed over to a potential biden as commander in chief someone who supported the u.s. invasion of afghanistan iraq and yugoslavia probably not much able to mop and artsy new york. was benedict from the us libertarian national committee told us of the longstanding pattern of aggressive u.s. foreign policy must stand. you know if i had to choose between a president biden and a president trump i wouldn't vote for he threw one too many americans think that if america isn't bully in the rest of the world and policing the rest of the world that america will be weaker and it's actually the opposite what is good for america is also good for the rest of the world noninterventionist policy by america is also good for china it's also good for russia it's also good for the middle east we don't have to always continue this who's going to be stronger and who's going to

win this war have winners and losers we can all cooperate and work together for peace around the world and without war what i'm looking for from a president is someone who will be very slow to go to war and will be looking for ways to avoid war and will help explain to the american people why going into war and getting involved in every other foreign countries personal business is a bad idea. to selma thought i told 2 friends the pandemic ranges they were all told not going to come in by the locals say that the virus is nothing compared with the armed conflict that story after shop around. the world is driven by. hunters senators from.

the dinners thinks. we should ask. seemed wrong. just. to shape our. answer. and engage. the trail. find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

the newly agreed cease fire between armenia and azerbaijan has just come into effect in the going to cover box it follows 3 days of talks in washington all those hope the bloody fighting will now halt there is another battle raging in the disputed region one on the ground biggest donna flextime to go in a car box dealing with the pandemic. it's the 2nd coming of a familiar villain europe's new wave of covert 19 is forcing people to social distance and avoid mass gatherings but here in the mountainous region only going to camp back in the south caucasus locals have a starkly different reason to avoid crowds and shelter in basements.

while elsewhere hospitals are hoarding ventilators and personal protection equipment here in karabakh hospitals are stocking up on blood bags and painkillers the health care system is under massive strain there's a heavy influx of wounded soldiers from the front lines and civilians from shelled towns many hospitals have been bombed too but the situation is so dire some of them had no choice but to stay off aeration despite shattered windows collapsed walls and scarse power supply the risk of covert isn't making things any easier by doing tests here is simply not a priority right now since we have. war here. our health system is a work lot is. because of the deceased

can't treat cases properly. show apart from those wounded the number of coronavirus patients has multiplied over the past week among soldiers and civilians alike including doctors in our hospital almost all doctors have had coronavirus or are currently sick but we keep working do we have no time to rest and recover half of our personnel have to receive constant medication which they keep doing their jobs when i ask people here if they are a tool concerned about the band demick many think it's a good. in very poor taste those who do say it's not a question they expect to hear right now it's just going to it's weird to hear these kind of questions we have other issues to deal with right now we have no time for which is why in the 1st we have to get through this war doesn't border anyone

here that night on the. world health organization hears about coronavirus people are dying of the problem is real but here people are dying for different reasons fighting bombings grown viruses taking a backseat there's no other worry here but to see sons husbands grandchildren and fathers return from the front line alive and to defend the land everyone here considers there as a virus can hardly compete with bombs raining down on people's homes donna reporting from the going to care about. tensions in the region 3 decades but the fighting escalated just recently in late september it's billed also beyond the borders of the disputed area local journalists day reports from azerbaijani which has become a target. presidency of total world the 1st to feel the wall here in his original

almost i'm always have 1st since the beginning of the conflict and this cell 2 of the cells have not stopped here in the city of toronto in the last few days by armenian forces have intensified paused the region is sheltering in basement the danger of coronavirus is and a surreal straight over being killed by ok just like those on the opposite side of the conflict they want to end the whole 1st image of the cover of judas we worry about both the coronavirus and the war the same time we're trying to weave in between the 2 we have rubbing alcohol we have face masks we seem to have everything we need to go to bed. it's true that the current virus has been a bit forgotten because of the war we're concerned about all about the war that's where our attention is focused we want to free our lands from enemy occupation and return their. covert 19 is nothing compared to the war the armenians are worse than

the coronavirus 1st we have to take care of them we have to get rid of them and with god's help the time has come and once we've done with that we will worry about the coronavirus no faultline the religious are see just her again coming and the heavy artillery and rocket fire. to get her here and now as a result will fall of directly as smooch missile at a 16 year old teenager have died right in the garden of his home this is not the 1st time children living can differ on why would you send c.d.'s are being killed why armenian 4 years ago during april's more 16 year old throws a dent of. region have been killed despite the hay very attics local residents are still remain here and do farming very sly stalk and so yes they did little to intend to leave their homes. now with the corona virus situation

worsening globally and to spoken to a leading evolutionary biologist who's conducted an extensive analysis of the corona virus genome and he explained to us how it's mutated outbreak should be dealt with you catch the full interview by heading to r.t. dot com now here's a preview. i think it's a blessing the coronaviruses evolve more slowly than other r.n.a. viruses but still it's a very quick process because the virus mutates every 2 weeks but in one specific lineage what is a specific lineage thus infects musher mush infects pits in pits infix tanya in such a lineage the virus mutates once but at the same time a similar process is taking place across the globe since different viruses acquire different mutations in total we see tens of thousands of mutations but we can already see approximately 20000 mutations. that is $20000.00 versions of the same

corona virus that is believed to have a regenerated and. we now see that the common ancestor was around in december or january the genomes of all the coronaviruses we are sequencing and studying right now show that they are all descended from one common ancestor which existed back then so it seems to me very unlikely that the virus infected a person before that time. so. there is a widespread belief that the virus does not exist in order to kill the owner but in order to somehow perfectly adapt to it and live quietly inside them. actually this is not what the virus cares about most we know a huge number of examples one of our success didn't put place for many many is many centuries and did not weaken smallpox for example on measles which is fatal in

a large proportion of cases if there is no treatment but generally it often happens that the mortality rate does not change at all. so there is no guarantee that covert 19 will somehow become less dangerous. in the near. future there are no guarantees about. doctors in the u.k. face widespread racial discrimination when pursuing careers in the n.h.s. that's according to the royal college of physicians which surveyed almost 400 health care professionals who found the black asian and minority ethnic applicants were less likely to be shortlisted than white counterparts with only 12 percent being hired after interview b a i mean health care workers say that it's yet another case of systematic discrimination we've been experiencing race and discrimination for many years as nurses are actually being called racial names 5 patients are a lot of obstacles that medical health care professionals experience on

a day to day basis these are often times due to unconscious biases and also just being around people who have not adequately track trained to understand different cultures a staff member black or asian or minority ethnic member of staff raises a grievance and it's pertaining to racism they often times will assign an investigator who has no idea how insidious racism and discrimination resents it so they do not understand and often times during those previous is an investigations we spend hard out time trying to explain what racism is to help the investigator to do their job and 9 out of 10 times they come back and they say they can't see very simple the problem with racism and less you've experienced it you will not see it's

. well the n.h.s. has vowed to reverse that trend promising to increase the number of b.a. any workers by 19 percent at every pay level by 2025 that's a 1000 extra staff from ethnic minority backgrounds a professor at the royal college of physicians told us that the current lack of representation is indeed due to discrimination there is definitely an issue and this is definitely a problem i don't think we have specifically diagnosed why exactly easy occurring it's possible that this is a result of systemic racism it's also possible that there is no one intended bias year on conscious bias and certainly as a matter of training the people who are involved in shortlisting in a committee there are solutions that need to be carefully looked up so that we can ensure that if sarah people reports in the basis of their abilities and their

potential rather on the basis of. their racial background color of their skin or looks characters that are relevant to the quality of care that they can provide us that's known for people in the n.h.s. . america's impose fresh sanctions on hezbollah are fishes in lebanon and is offering a reward for information on the group's financial activities it is the latest in a series of punitive measures which washington says protect america and its allies has blah remains or threats the u.s. and our allies today were further exposing the terror group's activities and disrupting its operational networks all countries should work to restrict its activities and protect themselves as below or as a political party and a militant group in lebanon and iran as its main sponsor the us along with a number of other countries regarded as a terrorist group and lebanon is currently facing its worst economic

crisis in decades documentary making outfit redfish has taken a look at how people there are coping you can watch guns for food in full on youtube. lebannon a small mediterranean nation surrounded by war torn syria to its east is officially at war with the us whose main ally in the region is true which occupies palestine to its south and as a result has been the site of their mortal for most of history since his tree and as the country goes through its worst economic crisis to date life has become more bearable to those at the bottom it was his economic water level when we took more economic water that we don't just mean the sanctions on iran on hezbollah when the u.s. is sanctioning hezbollah and iran which obviously provides funding for when our social welfare institutions these people who have no institutional affiliation to the party are losing their social welfare benefits and there is no state to fill this

void so they're left really to starve. with its aid say that we were just any of us intervention in our domestic affairs especially after imposing a dilemma not the u.s. is blockade on lebanon today this economic strangulation the aim behind it is to dislodge hezbollah from the government it's to disarm hezbollah and to basically eliminate this party altogether it's only going to turn people further away from the u.s. you know right into the arms of his beloved the community which already supports hezbollah is going to be even more cohesive than before so it's going to backfire. and will not lead to us. reus people on the song. and. those who wish to force us into choosing to option either getting killed by weapons or getting killed by starvation i tell them we will continue to carry our weapons

and we will not starve and we will kill you. appreciate you company this is r.t. international it's coming your way. now imagine her time say we're going on the ground as the u.s.
