establishes that there are some 20000 mutations of coronavirus talk to him about the implications coming up later this hour. i think it's a blessing that coronaviruses of all more slowly than others are in the virus but still it's a very quick process. if you look at the world news from a different perspective you're in the right place this is r.t. international. the turkish 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 it was all suffer a recent beheading in paris the critics say that it's driven by blatant islamophobia. reports from the french capital. president mack one has said he

won't to announce the publication of those cartoons and that has spiked furious reaction from many muslim majority countries including from the president of turkey president one who said twice over the weekend that he thought matt kuan 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 his country who are members of a different faith france has been incensed by that and described it as an insult in reaction it's also recalled it from ankara it's also been condemnation of those comments from the e.u. in the absence of any official to organise condemnation or solidarity from the turkish authorities after the terrorist attack in gaza flan sent on the remain no guns hateful and slanderous propaganda against france in recent days expressing

their will to stir hatred against the us president words the regard to president mcgraw on the ball we call on you to stop this dangerous spiral of confrontation all muslim countries are also angered by some of the other crackdowns that are happening here in france that includes the closure of a mosque and the closure of muslim associations all that are said to have links to extremists now there have been protests in many countries including in libya and jordan against what's happening here in france and being garza photos of president matt were burnt there's also been a boycott of french products in some countries and a call for a boycott in others now the organization for islamic cooperation has hit out of the comments that president back on made saying that they are likely to harm franco muslim relations now we've been chatting to people here in. it's about what they

make of the current situation with many people feeling that this provokes islamophobia and a concern that muslims in general are being punished for the actions of a few but the clock is individuals the government is spending everyone with the same brush and they punish the entire muslim community for it in this elite a person did it it is sad to say that from fear to close mosques is useless and especially crazy if the government still goes on to divide us it will create separate groups in society and it is not the solution so that there will be mosques and associations and i'm guilty maybe some people who come in but not everybody people have the right to breath is their religion as they want so we can close a place it worship like they're trying to pass expect our government to calm the tensions down today we have to be careful of not developing and then to muslim hatred it makes no sense and it is dangerous that's huge 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 this president has been steadfast about this tweeting on sunday night that nothing will make this retreat in regards the publication of those cartoons on the list in prophet mohammed it seems that both sides are hardening their stance and the divide is likely to only widen. we discuss the reaction of muslim countries with middle east expert could actually he says that the boycott and demonstrations are a sign of misunderstanding. first of all when you. country are a certain region it doesn't change anything and if you want change the politics of this country and these people don't. understand the

french like french people are not against islam but the they are against radical islam president is all of us criticised because the french politicians feel that the president is actually wrong and is not doing is not doing anything and yet. 2 weeks ago he announced that he wants to try to stop this at least in france and he wants to reach the must face. value of french culture. violent scenes of unfolded in new york's iconic times square after donald trump supporters got into a vicious fist fight with opponents. of the school people were arrested after a driver in a cavalcade of trump supporters brought on the street with

a female anti trump demonstrator police were also seen putting hank of sons when injured man lying on a stretcher. on the face of it donald trump and joe biden there at opposite ends of the political spectrum but whoever gets voted into office u.s. foreign policy could end up staying pretty much unchanged descaler morgan looks for why the democratic nominee may not be the alternative until trumpets are looking 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 of the 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 anytime soon who will pull you back the j c.p.o. a table still exists the us 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 generals martyrdom as for staying in the middle east do you remember all those promises from trump about bringing the troops so we are working to finally end. erika's 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 have 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 policies however u.s. media emits 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 that while baden's approach to foreign policy may look most sophisticated at 1st glance it's actually not any different from trump's. president biden would be more diplomatic he'd be more polite but when you look at his actual policies i don't think they would be what i'm looking for i think what you have is a change in personalities but not a change in policies biden's foreign policy is almost going to be the same as trump's although there may be a risk that he would start a new war trump trump is talk tough he's talked tough with iran china and even russia but it was president obama and vice president biden who started

a new war in libya they continued bombing in germany and other places so i don't think that foreign policy will be better with biden it might actually get worse. with the coronavirus situation worsening globally spoken to a leading evolutionary biologist has conducted an extensive analysis of the coronavirus jeana and explained to his has mutated to now outbreak should be dealt with catch the full version of this interview on our website dot com for now here's a preview. i think it's a blessing the crown of arses evolve more slowly than other r.n.a. viruses but still it's a very quick process the virus mutates every 2 weeks but in one specific lineage what is a specific lineage well vassie infects mush mush infects pets or pets infects 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 versions of the same corona virus that is believed to have her region aided and by the. results that 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 a live quietly inside of the regime. there at the. actually this is not what the

virus cares about the 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 small alex for example amazing 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 couvade 19 will somehow become less dangerous. believer in the near future there are no guarantees at that. like the rest of the world the war torn region of the goal in a cover back is dealing with rising covidien factions and you ceasefire between armenia and azerbaijan has given some hope but the local health system is overwhelmed and these men on the ground it is done after reports. it's the 2nd coming over from merely a villain europe's new wave of covert 19 is forcing people to social distance and

avoid mass gatherings but here in the mountainous region of the going to camp back in the south caucasus locals have a starkly different reason to avoid crowds and shelter in basements. 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 our health system is a work lot is. because of that 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 we have no time to rest and recover when i ask people here if they are a tool concerned about the band demick many think it's a joke in very poor taste the 1st they have to get through this war or on a wire is doesn't bore their anyone here that much. although with a lot of my world health organization cares 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 donna reporting from the go in a cab back. well tensions in the go to cairo by stretch back more than 3 decades but fighting escalated in late september the fighting spill beyond the

borders of the disputed region local journalist only had a day to reports from as a by johnny todd which has become a target. almost i'm always have 1st since the beginning of the conflict and this celt of the cells have nots up here in the city of toronto was the region is shown think in basement the danger of coronavirus isn't a surreal of the threat of being killed by a look at their local oh so 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 frontline village use our seasons so again coming and heavy

artillery and rocket fire. again right here right now as a result of all thought directly as smear at a 16 year old teenager have died right in the garden of peace home despite the heavy ethics local residents are still remain here do farming very sly stalk and see their david walton tend to leave their homes the new studies found around the world have less trust in democracy than previous generations why we'll explain after the break. shifting alliances washington's unrelenting policy assault against russia and china is already altered the world order what remains to be see is how most going to she

will together to confront us also will america ever be evil. the world is driven by shaped by. the day or. week to ask. join me every day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you.

come back around the world have less faith and democratic institutions than previous generations that's according to a survey conducted by the university of cambridge their research a survey nearly 5000000 people in 160 countries want to study around for nearly 5 decades and throughout congress people around the age of 30 about their views on democracy each subsequent generation of 30 somethings reported less satisfaction less trust in the political system so we gave depictions of paris london and san francisco to see if the study's findings hold up. i don't necessarily believe that it works the way it should be able to still believe in democracy but i don't have confidence in the current government for democracy is there but i think it's being implemented properly i think the state of democracy is more risk than it has been before jeff

a simple hold up this is jim is looking increasingly like a dictatorship to me personally i think it's true that it's all broke. parents don't educate him enough to. say we kind of because we're not really in in any more our generation is in there you see people that are. 506070 that are running the government the way that they see fit and now we're taking the younger generation into consideration young people being very will be able recently with their. 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 actually i think people of my generation do not trust the system we get the impression the voting in

chief is nothing. america has imposed fresh sanctions on hezbollah officials in lebanon and is offering a reward for information on the groups financial activities this is the latest in a series of punitive measures which washington says protect america and its allies has blah remains a threat to the us and our allies today with further exposing the terror groups activities and disrupting its operational networks all countries should work to restrict its activities and protect themselves. as blob is a political party and a militant group in levanon iran is its main sponsor the u.s. along with a number of other countries regarded to be a terrorist group or lebanon is currently facing its worst economic crisis in decades documentary making outfit redfish taking a look at how the people there are coping you can watch the full version of guns for food 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 this through which occupies but is starting to its south and as a result has been the site of turmoil for most of history since this tree and as the country goes through its worst economic crisis to date life has become more bearable to those at the bottom if you want says economic warfare 11 when we took my economic woes 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 hezbollah so she 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 start. with it's a say that we were just any of us intervention in our domestic affairs especially after imposing it would carry into the lead but 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 then not let your starbucks humiliate us reus people on the solve. those who wish to force us into choosing between 2 options 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.

doctors in the united kingdom face widespread racial discrimination when pursuing careers in the national health service that's according to the rule college of physicians we surveyed almost $400.00 healthcare professionals and found that black asian and minority ethnic competence were less likely to be shortlisted than their white counterparts with only 12 percent being hired after interview me 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 unconscious biases and also just being around people who have not adequately track trained to understand different cultures if the stars member black or asian or minority ethnic member of

staff raises a grievance and it's pertaining to racism they oftentimes will assign an investigator who has no idea how insidious racism and discrimination resents it so they do not understand and oftentimes during those grievances and investigations we spend half out time trying to explain what racism means 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 then it has to reverse that trend promising to increase the number of b.a. i mean workers by 19 percent at every pay level by 2025 that is 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 because of discrimination. there is definitely an

issue and this is definitely a problem i don't think we have specifically diagnosed why exactly is occurring it is possible that this is a result of systemic racism it's also possible there is you know unintended bias here on conscious bias so i think it is a matter of you know training the people who are involved in shortlisting in appointment committees there are so much use that needs to be carefully looked at so that we can and sure that it is fair and people are appointed in the basis of their abilities and their potential rather on the basis of you know their racial background or the color of their skin around or characteristics that are relevant to that the quality of care that they can provide a phone for 5 people in the n.h.s. ok appreciate thing without international get more of the top stories in half an hour.
