you know i'm looking at the rules from the. french products removed from the shelves and portraits of a man or mark crumb of burns and some muslim countries that is anger over a crackdown on suspected islamic extremists following a beheading in paris we get reaction in france good government still goes on to divide us it will create separate groups in society and it is not the solution today we have to be careful of not developing and then to muslim hatred. i think. the street fight breaks out between from fans and haters in times square although the bitter rivals in next week's u.s. presidential election appear to agree on a lot more than their supporters may think and the russian evolutionary biologist establishes that there are some 20000 me tell you of coronavirus we talked to him
8:01 am
about the implications i think it's a blessing the crown of our arses evolve more slowly than other are any viruses but still it's a very quick process. hello there is 3 pm here in moscow you're watching the international the turkish president has again publicly questioned the mental health of his french counterpart there's anger intensifies in the muslim world over a crackdown on suspected islamic extremists in france it was launched after a recent beheading near paris critics say was driven by islamophobia charlotte pinsky reports now 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
8:02 am
president one who said twice over the weekend that he thought matt kwan 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 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 regard to president mcgraw on the ball we call on to distort this dangerous spiral of confrontation all muslim
8:03 am
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 the guards are photos of president macron 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 the comments that president makaa 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
8:04 am
a few radicalized 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 but the muslim 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 is the war and so we can close a place of worship like that ass 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 but 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
8:05 am
find solutions and respect each other. president mark go on has being steadfast about this tweeting on sunday night that nothing will make us rich treats in regards the publication of those cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammed it seems that both sides are hardening their stance and the divide is likely to only whiten . devinsky there will be discuss the reaction of muslim countries with middle east expert. he says 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 this french way of life french people are not against islam but the they are against radical islam president is almost criticised because the french politicians feel
8:06 am
that the president actually. is not doing is not doing anything and yet. so 2 weeks ago he announced that he wants to try to stop this at least in france and he wants to they must face. value of french culture. by violent scenes have unfolded in new york's iconic times square after dawn trump supporters they're called into officious fight with opponents. at least 4 people were arrested after a driver in a cavalcade of supporters brought on the street with a female and demonstrator place we're also seeing putting handcuffs on an injured man who was lying on a stretcher well now on the face of it donald trump and joe biden are opposite ends
8:07 am
of the political spectrum but whoever gets voted into office america's foreign policy could end up staying pretty much unchanged i discover more pain looks now why the democratic nominee may not be the alternative that anti trampas 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 trying to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem. biden has said ministration will build on these steps
8:08 am
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 anytime soon. 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
8:09 am
worth of damage to our people they caused the deaths of our people they attacked our people and caused our great generals martyrdom and 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 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 she's talked about his good buddy who's of. i would be
8:10 am
putting pressure on china to put pressure on korea i would not meet with the supreme leader who said joe why use 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 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 an artsy
8:11 am
new york as benedict from the us military national committee told us that while a 1st glance biden's approach to foreign policy made it more sophisticated it's actually not any different from the trip. 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.
8:12 am
not with a number of covert infections on the rise across europe countries a 3rd of the tightening that restrictions is in spain of the latest countries to impose curfews something that has left many people unhappy so let's get more now from our europe correspondent peter all of us from verdun good afternoon paid to tell us more than about these restrictions and people's reactions as one of them. it's lee in spain the 2 latest countries to increase the restrictions on their populations in italy we've seen the number of infections double each week for the last 3 weeks in spain they've entered what's being called a state of alarm and they passed 1000000 infections in spain not so long ago they put in place a new curfew in across spain apart from the canary islands where people have to be indoors from 11 pm until 6 am politicians there want to extend the state of
8:13 am
emergency by a further 6 months in italy the new measures they've brought in mean that restaurants have to close their doors at 6 pm you are still allowed to have takeout before the closure at 6 pm only for people allowed at the table and there is no consumption of any food or drink in public spaces after 6 pm you're supposed to go back away to your homes after that time and not seeing some pushback against these moves in boats and both rome and in naples.
8:14 am
here in germany where i'm speaking to you from we passed 10000 deaths at the end of last week from cove at 19 while each one of those is a tragedy in its own right in their own right jamie has fared considerably better than many of its neighbors that hasn't stopped people though from coming out on to the streets over the weekend in venting their anger at the german government over the way the pandemic has been handled here in berlin we saw some clashes with police the rest being made. that it was a it's a disaster it will be devastating for many people and many families that work in the nightlife industry it is going to be devastating going to be uncertain here. this makes me suspect that in the end the problem will transform from a cemetery issue into an economic one and that is where the real problem lies.
8:15 am
yakety bay and i am ashamed to be talian because the government is carrying out psychological terrorism we traders will be forced to shut down one of. these are quite drastic measures but they are kind of in the middle it's not a real lockdown it's a look down by harv's. well we've also seen a rise in cases in russia 17000 just over 17000 infections in the last 24 hours the current number of people that have died with cove of 19 in russia currently standing at $26269.00 is the coronavirus pandemic covert 19 continues to recover across europe and around the world. ok yep it sure does thank you peter peter over there in berlin with the latest thank you. now with the corona virus situation worsening globally as we said we've spoken to
8:16 am
a leading dilution rigged biologist who has conducted an extensive analysis of the corona virus genome and he explained to us how it's mutated and how a break should be dealt with in the future you can catch the full interview in r.t. dot com but here's a taste of what was said. i think it's a blessing that coronaviruses 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 thus infects musher 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 we can already see approximately 20000 me taishan once. that is 20000 versions of the same corona
8:17 am
virus that is believed to have her regenerated and one where. we now see that the common ancestor was around in december or january the genomes of all the coronaviruses we are sequencing and starting 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 play sions for many many is many centuries and did not weaken smallpox for example measles which is fatal in a large proportion of cases if there is no treatment but generally it often happens
8:18 am
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. there are no guarantees of that. still something. more to want to go on i. said the virus is nothing compared with the conflict they have to face that story. join me every. time i'm sure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sport i'm sure i'll see you then.
8:20 am
again they're like the rest of the world war torn region and the corn a cattle back is dealing with rising k. with infections and you ceasefire between armenia and azerbaijan has given some hope but the local health system is overwhelmed this report now from you. 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 of nagorno-karabakh 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
8:21 am
had no choice but to stay off aeration oh our health system is a work lot is. because of the deceased can't treat cases properly and in the showers 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 to all concerned about the pandemic many think it's a joke in very poor taste the 1st. you have to get through this war coronavirus doesn't border anyone here that march. was doing without going to the world health organization cares about grooming of our people are dying off the problem is real
8:22 am
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 a lot. of reporting from the going to care about. tensions in the new nagorno-karabakh to stretch back more than 3 decades but the fighting escalated in late september back you and yet and have agreed to a poor hostilities for a 3rd time now although they do accuse each other of violating the truce fighting is also spilled over beyond the borders of the disputed region journalist. day reports now for me from the. city of tire which has become a target. almost i'm always hopeful 1st since the beginning of the conflict and this so the shills have nots up here in the city of toronto and for the region is sheltering in basement the danger of coronavirus isn't
8:23 am
a surreal thread all 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 this where all 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 village use or see just her again coming and heavy artillery and rocket fire. we can hear it now as a result of all 4 direct quotes smooch me so 16 you all teenagers have died in the garden of his home despite the heavy ethics local residents are still remain here do farming grease livestock and so did little to intend to leave their homes.
8:24 am
11 year olds around the world have less faith in democratic institutions than previous generations that's according to a survey conducted by the university of cambridge researches that surveyed nearly $5000000.00 people in $160.00 countries the study ran from $85.00 decades to throughout canvass people around the age of 30 about their views on democracy each subsequent generation of 30 somethings reported less satisfaction and trust in the political system we asked people in paris london and also san francisco if they think democracy is fit for purpose where they live. i don't necessarily believe that it works the way should they will i still believe in democracy but i don't have confidence in the current government the center for democracy is there but i don't think it's being implemented properly i think the
8:25 am
state of democracy is more risk than it has been before this is tim is looking increasingly like a dictatorship to me personally i think it's true that it's all broke. parent stone educate him enough that i can say kind of because we're not really 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 a recently read. a. student should not be able to afford a mortgage that kind of thing and i think that's fair to. them believing that democracy is here and i think a lot of it is just a lack of confidence that the politician has. got any integrity so actually i think
8:26 am
people of my generation do not trust the system we get the impression the voting in chief nothing of loss of to tell us the liberal establishment same western countries are actually out of touch with the people. it's no longer more visual there were question about lincoln's inn be a major stage but it can be yours really. enlightened. in the new. right in this is not just the start. of a military democracy in between it's. the coalition i distrust the very end presentational know that. so won't react to dealing here. and i don't mean to the. billy d. of. democracy. it used to function there is
8:27 am
a land there of again probably be in your own. simply history and the direction. we don't get the same way. how do we bring the 2 together we was going to sign. off the state state which can even be formally less democratic baek more. why not but somehow they actually. thought. that if lost by talking to us a bit earlier so that's how things are looking back again and about half and i don't get that always plenty of stories about website called.
8:28 am
it was a very nice show from president putin that i could have said no thank you or i could have said thank you and i said i'll take it and now it's time to introduce my basal close to mr donald trump thank you says the dream much was the. name whatever you want to name i mean i don't know how would i come that news that's dishonest telling our combat or recorder or e. network that's totally dishonest c.n.n. is says you know 100 percent negative i can read this change fast changes so fast sometimes i'll say that's going to be a great story be
