7:02 pm
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 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 it would have been happy but i. am happy.
7:03 pm
it was bad if barack were present 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 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
7:04 pm
turkish president president hu on who suggested twice in recent days that mark or needs a mental health check but even here in france some muslim association say that they do not want these quantrill social 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 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 one on the country of france and the recalls for increased vigilance particularly around the 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
7:05 pm
some very serious consequences responding to that high risk of terror threats france's increasing security at religious sites but the director of the al could center for political studies in amman fears pearse's crackdown will be seen as being directed against islam not just the religions radical followers. it seems that we are going down the. ladder of civilization and the struggle between a live that does this this is not a good flow to the patient between the 2 shoulder shoulders of the needed to end this it creates a lot of problems. with. its mission the with the front strong should be very much can feel different yet the basement of the. image and the most community and you have been the last one to 25 years and the muslim community is this different you mention very much in this video diary.
7:06 pm
now with less than a week until the u.s. presidential election on rest shook west philadelphia on monday night protests turned to riots after 27 year old walter wallace a black man was shot dead by police a protest over the shooting into riots several businesses ended up being vandalized burned and looted the city police chief says a total of $91.00 people have been arrested according to the police they killed a black man reportedly suffering from mental health issues was armed with a knife but he refused to drop it and advanced towards the police we spoke to political commentator geoff charles he told r.t. the riots are putting further strain on police who lack the adequate training when it comes to mental health and their suspects. yet there's not much productive about writing a living i mean it tends to turn people against the cause rather than getting people on their side so it may draw more attention to an issue but when you're
7:07 pm
burning businesses and endangered people's lives in response that's not going to get people on your side if there is going to be progress it's going to be done by people who aren't supporting violence and who aren't you know supporting the bad actors in these situations a lot of the writing in general you know you see them seattle and then it's not a silly being done by a lot of black. lot of white progress is out there trying to push an agenda so i think all of these factors play into this and the end result is that no no actionable change is made i think the the issue is the fact that police officers are are unequipped when it comes to dealing with people with mental illness are most of our police officers don't know how to address that situation the the fact that there are a lot of people using this politically as well doesn't help also so even if you do in situ reforms you're still going to have bad actors in the media who want to use these types of situations to foment more violence and to further inflame the race
7:08 pm
relations. one week away from the u.s. presidential election and donald trump has taken another swing at his main rival joe biden accusing him of making millions and sketchy deals. he gets really have a $1000000.00 from russia from the right of the bat out of moscow. 3 in their hand and his wife that everybody knew for that he had no income no job done. and get a good b.s. he got 1500000000 to from china i said to a friend of mine the biggest overall street very smart guy i said is that possible to get that he said it's not possible for my firm to get it and then it would run the big $110000000.00 a year for $100.00 introductory purposes. while scott has rejected claims that any money was exchanged while joe biden denies all allegations against him mr trump's
7:09 pm
remarks do come after bombshell reports of corruption and conflicts of interest within the biden family although similar claims have also been made against the president to sifting through some murky waters here's jacqueline. 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 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 in my life that that if my last name wasn't biden did 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
7:10 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 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 leading the obama administration's iraq policy james was executive v.p. of a construction firm that landed a $1500000000.00 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 this
7:11 pm
deja perot 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 he. 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 2 and justify 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 of 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
7:12 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 the 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
7:13 pm
to powerful men runs a fine line when it comes to legality but man it's got to be great from their perspective. cross the atlantic resentment. in europe continues to grow over new covert rules although countries have stopped short of full lock downs people are choosing to challenge the restrictions currently in place there were riots in barcelona hundreds gathered in a central square ignoring a new nighttime curfew to protest against the state of emergency imposed across spain were also set on fire near the regional parliament. similar scenes in italy where several cities saw protests get out of hand into iran on the right of your screen smoke bombs were let off and bottles hurled at police while in milan riot officers resorted to using tear gas we got reactions to the measures from people in both italy and spain. who did the study but as you can see italy is rebelling this government has decided to suppress the italian people to starve them to death
7:14 pm
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 look down it's a look down by holmes. 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. that it was a it's a disaster it will be devastating for many people and many families that work in the nightlife industry in while in russia infection rates are soaring once again recently hitting more than $16000.00 cases in a 24 hour period local authorities in moscow though are reluctant to impose a total lockdown taking us through the developments here's a lead up a trend go well russia still seems to be far from a full lockdown however the numbers aren't looking good at all we have a new record $16550.00 new cases of corona virus and that
7:15 pm
is just in one day and plus $320.00 deaths russia has not seen such numbers in the spring so this is the worst statistic. since the outbreak of the pandemic the regions are suffering more and more and the government authorities are being forced to act so starting from this week all russians in all corners of the countries will be obliged to wear masks in all public places not everyone is happy though and this explains some difficult situations and instances like this one when the a public transport worker was attacked by a passenger for demanding to wear a mask and it's these kind of cases that once again show that the people aren't willing to come back to full lock downs and they're sick and tired of the restrictions now here's something else the russian health watchdog has recommended instead of making it a rule for now the authority once the russian regions to shut the doors of bars and
7:16 pm
nightclubs from 11 pm to 6 am but for now like i said it's not an obligation in st petersburg this decision has already been made but moscow authorities for instance aren't willing to go that far just yet they have introduced a special q.r. code systems someone tests positive for covert then everyone else who was around that person will get a notification via s.m.s. that they need to be careful or that they need to go through a covert test the special hospital and southwest moscow that was 1st to begin treating coronavirus patients and this country has set up the largest kovac emergency and treatment unit and the country so this is good and bad news at the same time because this only shows that the demand for such units in the country is growing now if you look at russian regions for example and some are that's one of
7:17 pm
russia's biggest cities in between moscow and siberia medical students are being sent to help out the older generation and here's what we heard from some of them. why should we stand aside while i'm colleagues and working in clinics in the middle sitting over my views already chase significantly since the 1st day when i came here to work at hospital i'm not a child anymore so i don't feel like a student in the meantime we've received an update from the russian foreign ministry that says. the country's number one diplomat is self isolation after having contact a person who tested positive for a cove it. people are scratching their heads after an influential us magazine claims that calling historical musical figures by only their surnames is sexist and racist that story after the break.
7:18 pm
7:19 pm
welcome back to the program now ushering in a new conservative era for the u.s. supreme court donald trump's pick of amy coney barrett has as a new judge has just been confirmed by the senate that leaves the court which has a huge influence on american life with 6 right leaning justices and 3 from the liberal side as expected all democrats in the senate voted against barrett's appointment they were joined by one republican leaving the vote 52 in favor and 48 against the american people put their trust in you and their faith in you as you take the test of defending our laws our constitution and
7:20 pm
this country that we all love the russian unprecedented confirmation of amy kone parents as associate justice to the supreme court in the middle of an ongoing election should be a stark reminder to every american that you'll vote masses. becomes just the 5th woman appointed to the supreme court and the 1st ever mother of school children to take the role l.g.b. t. and pro-abortion communities have voiced concerns over the views of the devout catholic but her colleagues claim she'll be a sympathetic and impartial judge. we go live now to anti terror expert and legal analyst jennifer to master thank you for joining us on the program so now the conservatives have a 2 thirds majority on the supreme court that's a significant advantage for them what impact do you think that's going to have. oh it absolutely will have a great impact specifically not only with the with now as we've seen with the
7:21 pm
confirmation of justice barrett but an impact that continues to go in after the presidential election i mean this senate everybody can talk about how the democrats back the house in 2018 but in reality the far bigger picture was taking back the senate or retaining the senate 2018 which is what happened and and so that's the much bigger impact that's we're going to see other legislation that starts in the house being shut down or legislation moving forward as well as appointments of the presidential. the presidential victor here on november 3rd. now let's go back to the obama administration last time barack obama tried to appoint a judge in the run up to an election the republicans blocked it how is trump of the soft just a week before the election. well he pulled it off the way obama wasn't able to one being the majority of the senate being the majority in the senate being the republicans but also 2 it is a little bit different a lot of people like to make this analogy that it is exact same thing with obama
7:22 pm
appointee america and trumps of course the point of barrett but it's a very different thing 1st of all in trump's situation he's going into a 2nd term obama was already done with both of his terms and it was very much believe that hillary and trump are going to be starting off on a new foot and that's the 1st part the 2nd part is obama had every right to appoint somebody what he did in the senate being a majority republican have every right to turn it down that's just how our system of democracy works here and in trump's case i mean we we would have a supreme court of 8 justices very well could come down to a tie and was so much friction coming up with election day with the ballots with a lot of these states bringing filing lawsuits with uncertainty about the election process going into such a contested election we do need to have a 9th justice on the supreme court that's just the way it works so so that is one of the differences here but i think that i think it is completely it is absolutely within the constitutional authority of president trump ok well we also heard
7:23 pm
reaction to this by from joe biden he said this is a stark example of why everyone needs to go out to vote next week but do you think this appointment will have a serious impact on the presidential race. i do not believe that at all in fact i think that justice barrett has pervan herself not only highly worthy but she has also gotten incredible endorsements from many people of course a lot of the mainstream media in america at least on showing those but she has gotten endorsements from not only liberal pundits but from liberal legal scholars one of those being professor noah feldman who clerked with her at the supreme court humor if you don't recall know it feldman professor here was one of the witnesses for the democrats in favor of the impeachment of donald trump when that was going on back in january and he was one of the 1st people to come out and say that any county barrett was highly qualified to take this so not only with his endorsement but some of the other endorsements that have come through i think people realize especially seeing this working mother of 7 with 2 adopted children this is
7:24 pm
a woman who is of high caliber high integrity and despite the political dissension that we've seen with the democratic party i think the american people regardless of political party we're not going to be swayed one way or another. just one more question jennifer as a conservative christian what message do you think parents appoint and sends out to pro-abortion rights groups. i believe that a lot of liberals are saying that it sends a very stark a very scary message and they're very certainly concerned about this but far more than being a conservative or a christian in the title that any honey bear has is justice now associate justice in the supreme court she's a textualist and originalist which means that she looks at the letter of the law so regardless of what she might believe personally this is not a woman who's going to go there and legislate from the base of the bench regardless of her beliefs or her ideology is she's going to legislate bases she's going to rule make rulings based on what the law states and what the constitution states she's made that very clear and i think any good legal scholar any good judge is going to do that because if it really is
7:25 pm
a conservative i think the bigger messages come out is trying to label people based on their faith based on who they are based on their political party that cannot be what a judge does it cannot be what a justice they must rule in accordance with the law and she's made very clear she's going to do that and to terror expert and legal analyst jennifer de master thank you very much for joining us on the program thank you. 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 boy and his friends were chased by troops victim's father claims that the soldiers beat his son to death. my son the most it 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
7:26 pm
soldiers followed him and then started beating him until late 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 israeli army says the man tripped over and hit his head while being chased and that his death was caused by that head injury soldiers were sent to the area after reports of stones being thrown at an army vehicle palestinian officials however claimed the teenager had been severely beaten before arriving at the hospital there demanding an international probe while the man's family members are coming to terms with their loss. of the home this area is a peaceful and stable area everyone is occupied with their work and their own business killing the. comment is a tragedy he was the only help in the aid to his father who has multiple health issues. and one of them. 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 than i lose him and attend his funeral that doesn't
7:27 pm
7:28 pm
what you saw once last names a short turn to when there's no possibility of confusion. maybe it's because beethoven is so well known and doesn't need to be accompanied by his 1st name the same with people who are so famous they can go by their 1st name. i want to sit in 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 who i normally can at least see the root of the concern
7:29 pm
i don't understand it but if you say 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 maybe the reason why we're hearing this is to have a bit to eat and condition and get us 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. we're all such across the summer great program stay tuned to find out what's to offer wherever you are across the
