i mean. french products are stripped from stores while portraits of president macron go up in flames and saw a muslim majority country as anger grows over a crackdown on suspected islamic following the slaying of a teacher in paris 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. while pre-election tensions are ripe into violence in new york's times square we examine whether the main rivals in the race for the white house or perhaps more have more in common than their supporters might think. and the many faces of the

enemy a russian evolutionary biologist claims the pandemic currently paralyzing the globe can mutate into around $20000.00 variants i think it's a blessing that corona virus is approved more slowly than are any far since but still it's a very quick process. you're watching our international my name's donald quarter thanks for joining us on the program turkey's president has once again lashed out at his french counterpart supposed anti islam stance stating emanuel macron needs quote a mental check or one's words come as anger continues to build up in the muslim world following a crackdown on suspected islamicists in france in response to the recent beheading of a teacher near paris. president macron has said he won't to announce the publication
7:02 pm
of those cartoons and that has spiked furious reaction from many muslim majority countries including from the president of turkey president who said twice over the weekend that he thought much kuan 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 recalled it from ankara it's also been condemnation of those comments from the e.u. president words the regard to president are on the ball 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
7:03 pm
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 of the comments that president back on made saying that they are unlikely 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. but the clients individuals. muslim mosques and associations are not guilty
7:04 pm
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 michel and has been steadfast about this tweeting on sunday night that nothing will make us retreat in regards the publication of those cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammed it seems that both sides are hardening this stance and the divide is likely to only whiten germany's foreign minister has weighed into the dispute calling the turkish president's remarks about emanuel macron a new low he added that germany stands in solidarity with france in the fight against islamic extremism we heard some reactions on the french government's
7:05 pm
measures and the response to them. 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 worse there. are for it are the united states we have this freedom of speech in france you can criticize jesus you can create zones moses and you can and they want to be able to criticize the prophet might that last mosque that have been that have been closed and have been shut down 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
7:06 pm
paid by the government and french government doesn't want that any more prince 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 and 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 do establish that sometimes starker 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 possibly unacceptable and speaking of islamophobia is completely crazy there is no real islamophobia in france i mean it's damning terrorism. yorks a comic times square was the scene of
7:07 pm
a violent brawl on sunday between pro and anti donald trump protesters. oh ok iow at least 4 people were arrested following the clashes former city mayor rudy giuliani was ripped reportedly verbal e abused by activists while eggs were also hurled at the caravan of trump supporters police were seen putting handcuffs on an injured man lying on a stretcher. well despite donald trump and joe biden being presented as polar opposites it seems when it comes to foreign policy there's not too much to pick between them breaking that breaking down that aspect forces kaleb up and. 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
7:08 pm
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
7:09 pm
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 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
7:10 pm
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 tell on him so 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 new to put pressure on korea i would not meet with the supreme leader who should job 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 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
7:11 pm
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 new york. u.s. libertarian national committee member wes benedict believes biden's approach to foreign policy may look more sophisticated but at its heart it's not all that 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'll have is a change in personalities but not a change in policies biden's foreign policy is almost going to be the same as
7:12 pm
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 covert tightening its grip worldwide r.t. has heard from a leading evolutionary biologist who has conducted extensive studies into the virus he also explains how it mutates and how outbreaks can be dealt with you can catch the full interview on our website but here's a quick preview. 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
7:13 pm
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 we can already see approximately 20000 mutations. that is 20000 versions of the same corona virus that is believed to have her originated and one. result 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
7:14 pm
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 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. when you are in the near future there are no guarantees of that. meanwhile in europe the coronavirus is on the rampage once again countries are further tightening restrictions as they attempt to hold back the invisible enemy but with many now suffering coded fatigue
7:15 pm
after months of measures impacting their lives the new moves aren't going down well peter over 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
7:16 pm
takeout after that vote 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 because there's a pretty much a it's a disaster it will be devastating for many people and many families that work in the nightlife industry are 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. get
7:17 pm
any. yeah and i am ashamed to be talian because the government is carrying out psychological terrorism we traders be forced to shut down one of. these a quite drastic measures but they are kind of in the middle it's not the real up down it's a look down by harv's here in germany we recently passed 10000 deaths while each one of them is a tragedy and its own rights germany has failed considerably better than many of its neighbors in fact almost all of its neighbors despite the 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
7:18 pm
24 hours no less help 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 economies of float that seeing tensions rise in areas. and extensive years in the making global survey has shown all over the world people in their thirty's are losing faith in democracy we discuss why they have met that maybe with renowned philosopher a slob was rejected after the break. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm showbusiness i'll see you there.
7:19 pm
shifting alliances washington's unrelenting policy assault against russia and china is already owns or the world order what remains to be see is how must go indeed she will build together to confront us also will america ever being formally again. you know we've broken a lot of stories over the years the hoax that is the fracking industry we broke the global structure against banker occupation and a bunch of other ones that we were in the lead covered it nobody else did i think now we've got a tiger by the tail here i think we're in the midst now of the ending of the torch from the u.s. to china the push that is trapped as opposed to. just gets more and more evidence coming in.
7:20 pm
welcome back to the program now donald trump has vowed to straighten out the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan over the disputed nagorno-karabakh region he spoke at length to his supporters on sunday and the problems that they have in the debt and the fighting and everything else will get that straightened out that's going to be i call that an easy one ok we'll get that go back and tell you people. are meeting. it's easy if you know what you're doing you know what you're doing it's like that if you know what you're doing it's easy that easy case donald trump mentioned there stretches back more than 3 decades the disputed region is populated mainly by ethnic armenians which azerbaijan calls an illegal occupation the fighting escalated in late september now the sides have agreed to pause hostilities for a 3rd time the new cease fire was agreed in washington and announced on sunday night just an hour after donald trump's speech in new hampshire. but fighting
7:21 pm
continued on monday with both sides blaming each other for violating the cease fire just minutes after it came into effect that follows the pattern of the previous 2 deals agreed to in moscow public and international affairs professor paul robinson believes donald trump is simplifying a very complex dispute it's not as easy as he as he makes out to be less than most of the time. the problem here is really pretty irreconcilable redlines the eyes of johnny president. is red line is an old as every territory must be returned to it includes both going to carve out in various as every problem says which i mean you can show on the other hand the prime minister. has said that his red line is the self-determination of the people and not going to come out must be respected those 2 guidelines are completely incompatible. in other news people in their thirty's around the world
7:22 pm
continue to have less faith in democratic institutions than previous generations that's according to a survey by cambridge university researchers quizzed close to 5000000 people in 160 countries their study ran for nearly 5 decades and all the while it canvassed people around the age of 30 about their views on democracy each subsequence generation of 30 somethings reported less satisfaction and trust in their political systems we asked people in paris london and san francisco what they think about their democracies. i don't necessarily believe that it works the way it 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
7:23 pm
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 broken. parent stone age u.k. and nothing 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 really taking the younger generation into consideration young people being very will be able recently with their balls are a bright. student. not guilty for that kind of thing and i think that's fair i didn't see them believing that democracy is the story i think a lot of it is just a lack of confidence that the politician has. to go any integrity so actually i think people of my generation do not trust the system we get the impression the
7:24 pm
very thing in chief nothing is lost. believes liberal establishment and western countries have fallen out of touch with the public. it's not just for. feeling fundamentally dissatisfaction they cannot be sure but i did this in a presentation or democracy so what we have dealing here. and the fundamental. inability of. democracy don't wait it used to function they still lead they're off again. being young and so on and simply escapee and their agent is dead we don't get to hear way. how to bring the door.
7:25 pm
i've seen people in tunisia to change in the democracy chests we should always remember that. the presentation of democracy is not a new interest in the only star beast is there a group. including the morrow going there already knowing that. it's sad. no matter how just. misses some. kind. of state. push which can even be formally less democratic moral. well you know but we somehow day actually. we don't. even. know still don't know who. knew well at least i didn't do this

usually is no. induced. global eugene or. and it's. handwritten speech notes by adult hitler have sold at a munich auction house 434000 euros that's significantly more than their starting price the manuscripts are believed to have been written by hitler in 1939 they were the basis for speeches to nazi organizations referring to germany's war preparations and its quote jewish problem the sale is outraged jewish groups. i cannot get my head around the ship irresponsibility an insensitivity and such a fee broke climate of sending items such as the ramblings of the world's biggest killer of jews so the highest bid amid fears neo nazi groups might bid for the documents as a trophy the auction house selling the lot claimed it had taken precautions to
7:27 pm
ensure the notes didn't fall into the wrong hands. we have made special arrangements for the bias to ensure that we are not selling any of it to right wing can radical collectors they will have to hand in written assurances that is for investigate if a demick work investigation by historians and literature purposes we spoke to the editor of online magazine history central who isn't convinced by the auction houses argument. this is a particularly difficult time because of the growth of neo nazi ism in germany and we always had a beef we always worried about that since world war 2 ended whether you're from the west of the east everyone's always worried about the reemergence of naziism and we certainly know don't want to give them tools to enhance their movements and by allowing these documents to hopefully not but may have landed in their hands we're giving them tools to enhance their movements and that's very bad and i'm sorry that the german government didn't find a way of seizing them buying them doing whatever was necessary to bury them because
7:28 pm
that's what needed to be done these documents had to be buried in an archive and not sold to the highest bidder. more great programs get going in moments here on r t international find out what's showing wherever you are today after the shortest breaks thanks for watching and we'll see you again soon. well look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders to conflict with the 1st law show your identification we should be very careful about official intelligence at that point obesity is too great trust ever the shia. muslims to take on various shots and with artificial intelligence will summon the demon.
