12:01 pm
good evening you're watching r.t. international now france is advise and its citizens living in or traveling to muslim countries to exercise caution that after protests erupted over the french government's defense of the right to show controversial cartoons of the prophet mohammed shouted to as more details. it is recommended to exercise the greatest vigilance especially while traveling and in places that are frequented by tourists or expatriate communities this warning has been issued for those traveling and living in some muslim majority countries and it comes as there are rising tensions between france and those countries over comments made by president in the wake of that terror attack the beheading of teachers patti president said that he would defend the right to show controversial cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammed now
12:02 pm
there is this huge anti sentiment that is is sparked up in the wake of that with protests now in many majority muslim countries with some of burning effigies of president back on and of course from boycott on french products. it was god and it would have been happy. happy. it was sad if barack were president back or has refused to step down over this comment which would perhaps defuse this situation and he has been accused of whipping up anti muslim
12:03 pm
sentiment and that's because in the wake of that terror attack there has been a crackdown on muslim associations and of mosques that are all said to have extremist sympathies here in france and there's already been some repercussions seen with attacks being investigated including attack that took place last week in order in the west of france and that was against 2 jordanians a brother and a sister who were quite hospital treatment they. see they were attacked because they were speaking arabic now the charge against president has been led by the turkish president president hu on who suggested twice in recent days that matter corn needs a mental health track but even here in france some muslim association say that they do not want these quantrill herschel cartoons to be shown in schools between freedom of expression and the deliberate will to offend the feelings of muslims there is the duty of brotherhood and responsibility there's also
12:04 pm
a growing fear here in france one poll recently showed that 79 percent of people who responded that really believed that islam is some had declared war on the country of france and the recalls for increased vigilance particularly around places of worship and in gatherings and that warning comes from france's director general of the national police who believes that the terror threat here is particularly high in the wake of all of this this route between france and muslim majority countries seems to be widening every day and it's spilling out now into some very serious consequences. in other news this evening there is growing resentment in europe over a new code rules low countries have stopped short of full lockdowns again people are still floating restrictions currently in place of the word riots in barcelona for example hundreds gathered in a sentence where they're protesting against the state of emergency imposed across
12:05 pm
spain and they bore the nighttime curfew intercept bins on fire near the regional parliament and a similar scenes to you in italy where several cities saw protests getting out of hand in turin smoke bombs were let off their bottles 'd were holding police while in milan weiss offices resorted to using tear gas we got reaction to the new measures in both spain and italy. who did it. as you can see italy is. belling this government has decided to suppress the italian people to starve them to death we hope that this government will fall soon one of. these a quite drastic measures but they are kind of in the middle it's not a real lockdown it's a lockdown by harv's. 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. pretty much of it's a disaster it will be devastating for many people and many families that work in
12:06 pm
the nightlife industry. donald trump is again taking aim in his democratic rival joe biden this time accusing him of making millions from doing dodgy deals abroad. he gets $3000000.00 from russia from the right of the moscow. really. good to be over that he had no income no job. and then. he got was doing 5000000000 from china i said to a friend of mine the biggest on wall street very smart guy said is that possible to get that he said it's not possible for my for to get it and then it was the big $110000000.00 a year for introductory purposes. moscow and joe biden have denied those allegations trump remarks they come after bombshell reports of corruption and
12:07 pm
conflicts of interest in the biden family although similar allegations have also been made against the president sifting through the mud is jackie. no matter who wins the election in november both biden and trump are big names in politics now and their families will continue to cash in on that but hey they can't help who they're related to right take biden's son hunter if you don't live in a cave you've likely heard that he once served on the board of a ukrainian energy company while his dad was a v.p. now it's not exactly clear how much he pulled in there but reports say somewhere around 50 k. a month or more that point on his resume has cost his dad a never ending headache and he's both admitted that taking the position was probably a mistake and that he likely would have never gotten it if he wasn't biting there's a lot of things that would happen well life that that if my last name was implied that i make a mistake well maybe in the grand scheme of things yes but that's probably not the only business decision he regrets there's also the time he flew to china with his
12:08 pm
then vice president father on air force 2. i didn't raise any eyebrows at the time biden brought family on foreign trips all the time but that's because back then that no one knew that hunter was forming a chinese private equity fund or that hunter met with a chinese banker who was his partner in the fund during the trip hunter spokesperson says it was a social visit but that scheme was approved by shanghai authorities just days later and $100.00 didn't see any money from that until after his dad was out of office when he did it was over $400000.00 hundreds business ties to china don't stop there but well let's move on to joe's brother james there's plenty to say about him but if we focus on one thing back in 2011 while joe was leaving the obama administration's iraq policy james was executive v.p. of a construction firm that landed a 1500000000 dollars contract to build houses in iraq the company denied that the vice president's position had anything to do with the deal but what do you make of
12:09 pm
this deja vu this is his name helps him get in the door but it doesn't help him get business people who have important names tend to get in the do easier but it doesn't mean success if you. the name of he would get in the door easier to be fair those contracts did fall through but it's things like that that makes trump jr say things like this the biden family is the most corrupt political family in american history i'm pretty sure that video is what pops up when looking for the meaning of the phrase the pot calling the kettle black because the trump kids are too and just fine control of the trump organization was handed to don jr and his brother eric by their father when he took office due to conflict of interest issues but in 2017 promotional materials from trump tower mumbai were not boasting a connection to quote us space real estate tycoon celebrity and potest donald trump the office of the president can't be used for personal benefit guys so the ads which are said to have been unapproved were pulled also put her fashion line into
12:10 pm
a temporary trust before taking a role in the white house and yet reports of her company having trademarks fast tracked keep cropping up she rubbed shoulders with xi jinping and the same day several new ones are approved and speaking of her fashion lines right after an appearance on 60 minutes alongside her father after his election it was jewelry company sent out a blast promoting a $10000.00 bracelet from the line she was wearing during the interview it was promised that things that the company were still being sorted out after the election but it wasn't the 1st time mix politics and business she previously used a speech at an r. and c. convention to her clothing line and there's also the fact that while trump was in the midst of an election his kids opened up trump international hotel in d.c. it's an honor to stand before you today and officially welcome to trump international hotel and tower washington d.c. and that has led several foreign dignitaries to come visit the president paying his kids for their accommodations all this nepotism and what looks like selling access
12:11 pm
to powerful men runs a fine line when it comes to legality but man it's got to be great from their perspective jackie then i race for the white house center. in the final strike tensions are beginning to boil over and you'll come sunday approach from 90 k. this attack has broken eggs for the fist fights but on the streets there and fearing more the same social media giant facebook is reportedly trying to stop anybody from fanning the flames vito's his. now we haven't even had the election yet here in the united states but already concerns are going to its aftermath and the potential for anarky on the streets however don't panic facebook is on the case we need to be doing everything that we can to reduce the chances of violence civil unrest in the wake of the selection the social media giant is reported to already have a slew of emergency measures that are being planned facebook has already promised
12:12 pm
to slow the spread of viral content to lower the standards of what's considered an inflammatory post and get suppressed to tweak the news feeds of what users see and furthermore to suppress dangerous posts in such circumstances there's some content that needs to be removed and there's some content that needs to not have access to the facebook tools that created by reality facebook does not have the best record when it comes to this kind of thing these are the same tools that were deployed in me and maher facebook was accused of inflaming hate speech in the country that was back when forces cracked down on rohingya muslims and it got very ugly. with. the
12:13 pm
united nations has actually called out facebook for not stopping the widespread calls for violence and the hate speech that encouraged and in all. those who are ready to kill i'm afraid that facebook has now turned into a beast and not what he did originally intended it has substantially contributed to the level of acrimony and dissension and conflict if you will within the public he speech is certainly of course a part of that in $28.00 thing facebook was once again called out for inflaming anti muslim riots this time in sri lanka. facebook has apologized for both circumstances saying that they were wrong and
12:14 pm
myanmar and in sri lanka but now facebook's approach to american politics is being scrutinized facebook decided to suppress the reports about hunter biden and his shady dealings in ukraine drawing anger and outrage from republicans i think they're a threat to democracy when you can shut down the flow of information plenty when you can censor what millions of americans would see that's a threat to democracy based work says this was all done in the name of fact checking so with a controversial election and fears of violence in the united states will facebook repeat its pattern of behavior and fan the flames making things worse or will its newly discovered art of censorship save lives and restore call well they are set to ship in a big good morning it's up to this for a very long time it's not only censorship at this point this is them letting us know that they are going to decide how the conversation goes they are going to we shouldn't trust our power into them because they're going to protect all of us from
12:15 pm
mean a post that i guess believe we're going to violence in the aftermath of the election so it even goes beyond just the censorship we're used to this is them saying we're going to. control the conversation we're going to control what happens in this country what you see what you hear and what gets out there it's next one of things about these organizations is they look down on the american people we know they think the american people are stupid and violent and they think that they have to protect us from ourselves they think that we have they have to protect us from our own speech of our neighbors our friends our coworkers and the public figures and news organizations that we want to hear from so they're nannying us they think that they're doing some sort of ultimate good and of course anyone who thinks that they are capable of doing such a good that's classic like the dictator of mentality is that you that you know it's best for everyone else and you were use every tool at your disposal to make sure that your ideal what's best and your and what's appropriate is the only thing that gets out and shaping how people think and speak watching us he said he to sound 18
12:16 pm
12:17 pm
anyone else chose seemed wrong well we just don't all. believe yet to shape out just being educated and engaged equals betrayal. one song many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back here with our take now a palestinian teenager has died after allegedly being attacked by israeli soldiers it happened in the west bank on sunday when the 18 year old and his friend which
12:18 pm
a spy troops the victim's father claims that the soldiers beat his son to their. my son the martyr was killed in cold blood when he wasn't going to fight israelis or anything his friend's car broke down and he went to help him then the israeli soldiers followed him my son didn't know anything about the area he went to so he was driving around looking for his friend so the soldiers followed him and then started beating him until they killed him without any reason he wasn't carrying a weapon or anything else to fight them with he was a peaceful citizen going to help his friend while the israeli army does say that the teenager tripped over and hit his head while being chased and that his death was caused by a head injury the soldiers were sent to the area after reports of stones being thrown at an army fear however palestinian officials claimed the teenager had been severely beaten before arriving at hospital they are now demanding an international
12:19 pm
probe of the boy's family coming to terms with their loss. this area euthanize a peaceful and stable area everyone is occupied over their work and their own business killing the or martyr or argument is a tragedy he was the only help in the aid to his father who has multiple health issues. because our son's life isn't worthless and i spent my life and lost my health raising my son to be a man and to feed his family then i lose him and attend his funeral that doesn't make any sense. now a tech startup company whose i phone unlocking program issues by police across the united states has raised $47000000.00 in funding and the money laid criminal investigations although critics are warning of a lack of oversight. these law enforcement agencies use the mobile device forensic tools far more than previously documented and used them in
12:20 pm
a broad array of cases they do so with few policies or legal constraints in place we believe that these tools are simply too powerful in the hands of law enforcement and should not be used by a great shift is focused almost exclusively on getting behind the security firewalls of apple's famous device is great program is used by a wide range of federal agencies from immigration and customs to the f.b.i. to local police agencies and it costs up to $30000.00 depending on the level of the program professor of liberal studies michael involved is concerned how much authorities are relying on such technology it's no doubt subject to abuse and that's that's what concerns me as a civil libertarian and i think that. the overuse of it is something that will probably cause problems and i think it's definitely going to what facts are those
12:21 pm
that are more targeted by police than those that are usually not whenever they're doing it without without warrants for example or without cause you know for a traffic stop or you know minor drug infractions and things like that that have no should have no bearing on whether they can open your phone or not and so this could cross the line into surveillance and into a more active search and seizure. in germany have a 2nd region has now overturned a little promoting gender parity in local politics claiming it could actually do more harm than good. the stipulation that there must be equal numbers of men and women on the list could result in the exclusion of certain applicants in cases where there is a high imbalance between the sexes it could also lead to considerable difficulties in drawing up lists with alternating candidates this has an impact on party's chances in elections brandenburg was the 1st german state to adopt the gender
12:22 pm
parity law back in june and it does require parties to create an equal list of men and women for all elections however the move angered the right wing parties who took it to the constitutional court although the state assembly defended the law during the hearings. if half of the population are women equal representation of women is a democratic imperative without gender parity democracy remains unfinished where women do make up around a 3rd of the m.p.'s in germany which has remained much the same for the last 2 decades and that figure is still higher than the global average germany's regional policy parliaments to do reflect the national picture political observer steve meissner does believe though women no longer face major hurdles in politics in the country. the parties were not able to pick the best candidates for their their places on the list and their rankings some parties especially the right wing parties attract far fewer women as members these parties would not been able
12:23 pm
to conform just because they just don't have the women in the party i don't think there's any kind of real problem as far as women reaching the top once you start selecting people on the basis of their of their race or gender or or religious affiliation you're discriminating you just criminally against the other people that are in those groups now it's discrimination response to the bad well how can anti like reverse school nation be good i can't really it doesn't make any sense from that point of view and it's fundamentally unfair and as the courts have ruled it's illegal. that finally calling famous classical composers by their last names only is sex a stand rightist apparently at least that is according to the american online magazine slate although it has received plenty of pushback.

on one of your peach meetings the stories that don't make the cut have to be better than what he published. i have no idea what that means. reason why we don't say. the 1st name of wolfgang amadeus mozart is because we know mozart it's it's shorthand it's deference it's the fact that we are lazy sometimes we see bush tromp biden puton i normally can at least see the root of the concern i don't understand it but if you said for example miss mozart and miss chopin image if there were women and you never said mr maybe you could say how come you call the one missing the other one by one name maybe just
12:26 pm
maybe the reason why we're hearing this is to have a bit to eat and condition and get is used to in sanity so that we don't react to any more where we are hit with the most pastors crazy lunacy you think there was anybody in colleges or schools or musicology who were saying they did it every 3 time they say mozart again they're promoting white racism and homophobia i don't understand it so that's how things are looking so far today here and i say always good to have the company more from us and just live on. the world is driven by a dream shaped by phone person with those great. dares
