french products are stripped from stores while portraits of president and flames that his anger boils over in some recent countries over a crackdown on suspected islam is following the killing of a teacher impact. if the 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 i i while pre-election tensions erupt into violence in times square the main rivals in the race for the white house have a lot more in common and their supporters may think we'll take a look at all sides of the many faces of the enemy the russian evolutionary biologist claims there are around 20000 feet of the corona so. i

think it's a blessing the crown of our says evolve more slowly than other r.n.a. viruses but still it's a very quick process. good evening you're watching r.t. international turkey's president has once again lashed out at his french counterparts anti islam stance claiming it is a threat to his country's security his words come as it continues to build in the muslim world as a crackdown on suspected islamists in france intensifies following the recent beheading of a teacher near paris charlotte pinsky has more. president macron 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 kwan needed his mental health checked. needs mental health treatment what else can be said to a head of state who behaves in this way to millions of people living in his country who are members of a different faith. as i said yesterday he is a case and therefore he really needs to have mental chunks france has been incensed by that and described it as an insult in reaction it's also recall that bassett death from ankara it's also been condemnation of those comments from the e.u. president words the regard to president mcgraw on the ball we call on to distort 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 although they're 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 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 france 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. radicalized individuals. with muslim mosques and associations are not guilty maybe some people who come in but not everybody so they punish the entire muslim community for what an isolated person did today we have to be careful of not

developing and then to muslim hatred if the government still goes on to divide us it will create separate groups in society and it is not the solution 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 president mark warner has been 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 white in charlotte n.c. there were middle east experts and also journalists both gave their opinion on the french government's measures and if the reaction of muslim countries should be taken into account by parish. these people that are boycotting french products they don't understand the french way of life the french muslim community must stop them

take this very easily and they understand that because more stuff the french muslim population are in good accord good relationship with french values in france are let's saying the words there. for it are in the united states we have this freedom of speech in france you can't criticize jesus you can create zones moses and you can't and they want to be able to. profit what their laws must have been that have been lost and that they are mosques that are funded by foreign countries the monies that are preaching in these mosques are sent in there by more awkward turkey and saudi arabia are kept out and they are paid by the government and french government doesn't want that anymore france must be absolutely clear with the muslim countries that they have not to interfere with the laws of the french republic i don't think

it should be a middle ground for the freedom of the press for freedom of ideas that's very important that is what the west is built on our western democracies are built on it we should not accept any discussion on this they have the right to be offended or maybe they don't like it there are some things i don't like and what shall you know it's funny shit sometimes starker but that's the freedom that's the freedom in europe they must understand that they can be angry ok but not to the point of beheading people you know this is impossibly unacceptable and speaking of islamophobia is completely crazy there is no real islamophobia in france i mean it's slamming terrorism. new york's iconic times square was the scene of a violent brawl after trump supporters got into a fight with opponents. i was i was. i was in school people were arrested following the clash police were also seen

putting handcuffs on an injured man he was lying on a stretcher now despite trump and biden being presented as polar opposites it does seem when it comes to foreign policy that there's not much between them with all the details says. 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. biden has said ministration will build on the steps challenge of the nations to keep pace and work to capitalize on these growing tiny's to move forwards when a 2 state solution and a more stable and peaceful 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 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 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 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 in midst 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 but us going to terra national committee member benedict has believed that biden's approach to foreign policy might look more sophisticated but it is hot is not whole lot 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 kind of a tightening its grip on the world as we've heard from a leading evolutionary biologist who has conducted extensive analysis of the virus he explained how it has mutated and how brights can be dealt with in the future you can see the interview in full come 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 but we can

already see approximately 20000 mutations. that is 20000 versions of the same corona 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 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 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 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 of that. well in europe coronaviruses on the rampage once again countries are further tightening restrictions as they attempt to hold back the invisible enemy but with many now suffering code fatigue after months of measures impacting their lives the new moves aren't going down particularly well as peter all of the reports. italy and spain are the latest nations to put in place new restrictions on their populations in an attempt to try and get the number of covert 19 infections down in italy they've seen the number of cases double each

week over the last 3 weeks in spain they vented what's being called a state of alarm that's putting in place a curfew for the next 15 days people not allowed out on the streets from 11 at night until 6 in the morning now politicians there also wanting to extend a state of emergency in the country for a further 6 months now in italy what we've seen is new rules come in place regarding restaurants and dining out all restaurants are going to have to shut their doors to customers from 6 pm at night on the 4 people allowed at a table while they're allowed to be open they are allowed to continue serving takeout after that but there is a strict rule against any food consumption or drinking on the streets or in public areas after 6 pm these new rules well there's been pushback against them in both naples and in rome.

well not everybody has gone to those extreme levels that we just saw in naples and rome but italians in general and people in spain as well and happy about the measures that have been put in place on them with some saying simply won't work as i thought it was a it's a disaster it will be devastating for many people and many families that work in the nightlife industry going to be uncertain you know. 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. i am ashamed to be talian because the government is carrying out psychological terrorism we traders 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 hobbes here in germany we recently passed 10000 deaths while each one of them is a tragedy in its own right germany has fared considerably better than many of its neighbors in fact almost all of its neighbors despite that performance though there are those that are extremely unhappy with the way the german government has handled the pandemic in fact on sunday we saw protests on the streets here in berlin there were some clashes with police and arrests were made cases of covert 19 of also being rising in russia as well over 17000 new infections in the last 24 hours no letup in sight it seems as the world continues to try and fight against covert 19 but it's keeping that balance between trying to keep populations healthy and trying to keep the colonies a float that seeing tensions rise in areas. where people in their

thirty's around the world have less faith in democratic institutions than previous generations that according to a survey by cambridge university researches quiz nearly 5000000 people in 160 different countries the study ran for nearly 5 decades and throughout campus people around the age of 30 about their views on democracy each subsequent generation though of 30 somethings reported less satisfaction and trust in political systems we asked people in paris london and also san francisco if they think that democracy is fit for purpose where they live. i don't necessarily believe that it works the way it should they will i still believe in democracy but i don't have confidence in the current government 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 so this is tim is looking

increasingly like a dictatorship to me personally i think it's true that it's broken. stepparent stone educated enough that i can say kind of because we're not really in and many 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. a. student. not being able to afford a mortgage that kind of thing and i think that's fair to. them believing that democracy is 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 very

thing in chief nothing of the false slab boys yet does believe that in a burst of richmond's in western countries before and out of touch with the public . it's not just a feeling so the mental dissatisfaction that cannot be sure but i did this in a presentation or democracy so what we are dealing here is. fundamental. inability of. democracy doing it used to function there is a land there are again folks being young and so on and simply escaping and their agent is dead we don't yet. know how to bring the door. i've seen people in tunisia to change in the

democracy chests we should always remember that. presentation of democracy is not a new interest in any only struggle east is a group. including the morrow and the rain. it's sad. no matter how just. misses some. signed. off the state status which can even be formally less democratic baek moral. why not but somehow they actually. thought. he was the insults not

strong enough to really goes his new well at least i didn't try it. is not democracy or. it is. all sounding it's. not like the rest of the world war torn region of nagorno-karabakh is dealing with rising with infections and ceasefire between armenia and azerbaijan has given some hope although the local system health system is overwhelmed with more his you've done. 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 new 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 oh 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. first they have to get through this war or on the wires doesn't bore their anyone here that much. although without going to my world health organization cares about coronavirus people are dying of it 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 nagorno-karabakh. in the gornergrat a back to stretch back more than 3 decades but the fighting desk late in late september back in year the van have agreed to pause hostilities for a 3rd time now or they also accuse each other of violating the troops fighting a sorceress but beyond the borders of the disputed region to local jeweler mr mayor says our daily reports from the as a johnny says he started are which has become a target almost

a mall was her 1st since the beginning of the cult act and this shills have nots up here in the city of toronto and the region is sheltering in basement the danger of coronavirus isn't a surreal threat all being killed by a rocket. 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 villages are seasons so again coming and here we are. here right now as a result of all 4 direct costs near me so 16 you all teenager have died

in the garden of his home despite the heavy ethics local residents are still remain here do farming priests livestock and so they did little to intend to leave their homes. of unused tonight washington a slap new sanctions on hezbollah officials in lebanon is also offering a reward for information on the group's financial activities the latest in a series of measures that washington claims are needed to protect the united states and its allies as blair remains a threat to the u.s. and our allies today with further exposing the terror group's activities and disrupting its operational networks all countries should work to restrict its activities and protect themselves while hezbollah is a political party and a militant group in lebanon iran is its main sponsor us along with a number of countries class it as

a terrorist group well lebanon is currently facing its worst economic crisis in decades artie's redfish documentary project has been looking at how people surviving you can watch guns for food in full on mine. lebannon a small mediterranean nation surrounded by war torn syria to its east is officially at war with the us his main ally in the region israel which occupies palestine to its south and as a result has been the site of turmoil for most of his recent history 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 in lebanon when we took more economic warfare we don't just mean the sanctions on iran on hezbollah when the us is sanctioning hezbollah and iran which obviously provides funding for hezbollah 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. so we're here today to say that the reject any u.s. 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 hezbollah that 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. 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. and you can see that documentary in full online so that's how the news is looking here at r.t. international just coming up to half past 6 more from us at the top here. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe.

isolation full community. are you going the right way or are you being led. direct. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a made in the shallowness. a sort of amazing country with so many friends in russia and i'm very excited to be here. i love that idea i do.
