muslim countries. also targeted for. president. but less than a week before. the polls twitter. face a grilling by republican senators in congress so whether a conservative. platform the answer should be. we have.

7 pm and 10 at night right here in moscow welcome to our 2 international i'm going to new york. with france intensifying in muslim countries over recent defense of the right religion the satirical magazine. that's been targeted to it's published a caricatures of the turkish president who has been one of the fiercest critics of the french state on the issue. of the front cover discussed think while turkish prosecutors have launched a criminal probe. what did i learn i didn't look at the caricature because i find it humiliating to give credit to those kinds of dishonorable publications even if it's just to see what they are doing what am i and there is no need for me to say anything about these disreputable people who insult my dear brushwood the dearest of the years. protests over paris is response to the prophet muhammad cartoons are

spreading in muslim countries egypt joined the angry chorus with the president saying freedom of expression must stop one of their friends 1500000000 people the west those stands alongside france and the british foreign secretary urging nutro always to support the values of free speech or to share in the french got. there surely abdo the satirical magazine has published this front page which is marking the turkish president he seen here in a caricature in his underwear holding what seems to be a can of beer and lifting up the skirt to show the bottom of a woman and it's got the comments the profit will of course tookie is incensed by this caricature on the front page it's described it as being utterly despicable and it is of course taking those actions it has also blamed president matt corn for this saying that this comes as

a result of his anti muslim or toric the aim of these publications devoid of morality and decency is to sow seeds of hatred and animosity turning freedom of expression into hostility towards religion and belief can only be the product of a sick mentality where there seems to be surely a response to those comments by president one over the last few days to boycott french products and also to the comments he made about president himself which he said twice over the weekend that he needed his mental health exam and now there have been protests across many muslim majority countries in the world against. as a macro and against france with effigies being burnt off the french president and of course these calls for boycotts elsewhere are french products and this all comes in the wake of president mack on defending the right in france to publish cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammed and he used those cartoons as a device in school to discuss freedom of speech. i

am. currently. looking at it if it happens i am over it's too has been angered by that reaction those protests and those calls for boycotts and it's issued a warning to its citizens who live or traveling in muslim majority countries saying that they need to be vigilant because of this rising anti french sentiment and it's stepping up its own efforts against turkey calling on its european allies to make

waves france is united new europe busy united at the next european council europe will have to take decisions that will allow it to bolster the power balance with turkey to bear to defend its interests and european values or france and turkey have had a very difficult relationship over the last 3 years they're both nato allies but they've come down on opposing sides on a number of massive worldwide issues including libya syria the gas and oil rights in the eastern mediterranean but it seems that this particular problem this issue over the publication of those controversial cartoons seems to be the biggie and it's the one that seems to be. pushing that relationship to breaking point. america streets up again erupted in violence just days before the u.s. election with philadelphia witnessing a 2nd night of on wrist following the police killing of a black man on monday the protests in descended into rioting and looting. all

things turned violent after 27 year old walter wallace was shot dead by police after running officers with a knife while this was alleged to be suffering from mental health issues the previous multiple run ins with the more the national guard has not been deployed to the city clashes left dozens of officers injured and a number of arrests were made. you . know. god god. god. what are you doing yet we are outside the 18th precinct here this is the closest police station to where walter wallace was killed protesters literally moments ago just clashed with police they are going up in their faces yelling no justice no peace and also profanity this is all stemming from a sooty of

a black man in broad daylight around 4 pm monday afternoon now we've seen across the city looting has happened as far as a mile and a half all the way to 5 miles away from the city i talked to business owners earlier today who say that they saw this months ago during the george floyd protest however they never imagined this in their city one business even saying that they lost a total of $500000.00 in damages so again businesses really rallying together trying to even hire their own security guards knowing that when the police get called to go somewhere else who's going to be there to save them now again this also i mean from the shooting of walter wallace you have the mayor and the police commissioner now. and if they want to meet with the wallace family and the police headquarters actually releasing a statement saying that they're asking everyone to be patient as they investigate this situation and also asking for those you have other thoughts and prayers with a larger wallace and his family prefer right now reporting in west philadelphia aaron transact our team. there were protests in new york as well

a card through to the line of police in brooklyn reportedly injuring the unrest spiraled into mehan demonstrators vandalized police cars buying sound started fires we got to take a civil rights lawyer robert patil and the destruction. there every year decade after decade there were cries for help cries for change demands that policy be changed to protect communities and nothing happens it's fails over into an event such as this ferguson didn't happen in one day and with one killing for being great did not happen in one day and will end with one killing and similarly this is not about this one individual but about a broken system and the number of times people as this source believes as experienced this themselves and now finally if this is a boiling point in the summer of racial reckoning in america will finally we have to address these into one of the systemic issues that people find demanding change

for so nobody condones writing no one can go and moving but it's almost like see what happens to a bring the furred and at the end he said it is slow so i think what we have to start talking about is what are going 'd to be the legislative solutions to change the these issues going forward who will handle this as a systemic issue president obama didn't do so present as have done so president clinton president bush did not do so going back to him and he'll no one has done anything to address these on systemic level so how can we change policing how can we change the relationship between communities and between the and those who work and serve them how killing best issue or. communities do not simply feel hurt and represented by their elected officials so these are multi-faceted multi-generational issues that are now boiling busy over boil over it will get people's attention but people on the. boil in the. media tech giants in the us faced

a grilling by republicans in congress over allegations they've been suppressing conservative viewpoints so-called content mediation has been the concern of congress before although it's intensified just a week now ahead of the presidential election let's go live now to our correspondent in new york. take us through the sitting on the day's events. indeed that tense hearing on capitol hill when we heard just a week out from the u.s. elections testimony from the c.e.o.'s of google twitter and facebook they were called to capitol hill after the threat of getting a subpoena and they gave testimony remotely to the u.s. senate committing our regarding allegations that there is a conservative bias by the tech and social media giants now it was an interesting hearing there was actually an awkward moment when it appeared that facebook c.e.o.

mark zuckerberg was not answering the phone so it was on a hold so that was a little bit interesting but after that we did hear the u.s. senators start grilling the tech giants and c.e.o.'s about the fact that a new york post story about joe biden seems to have been suppressed and arguing that perhaps this represented the tech giants meddling in the u.s. elections are trying to back their outcome take a listen. to the f.b.i. contacts you see the new york post troops senator not about that story specifically nicholas i mean why did why did you straddle back video alerted us of it to be on heightened alert around a risk of how can we go. around to release your proof if you're making appointments you know just to be clear on this we didn't censor the content we flagged it for fact checkers to review and pending that review we temporarily constrained its distribution but. it's not up to us either to determine whether it's

a russian interference nor whether it's true we relied on sort of you know because it's going to. now the article in question from the new york post reported to show ties between u.s. presidential candidate joe biden and a ukrainian businessman and when it was suppressed that basically was a moment where we saw a lot of anger from us president donald trump this is what he had to say media and the big tent big tech desperately trying to cover up everything they don't want to hear speeches like this they don't want to hear anything about it this is a massive scandal that they're trying to suppress. i'm not just running against biden sleepy joe i'm running against the corrupted media the big tech giants the washington swamp and the democratic party is a part of all of them how it was the twitter c.e.o.

who got the harshest treatment he was asked a number of questions by u.s. senators all leading up to the question about why us president donald trump's tweets appear to be being suppressed while tweets from democrats as well as tweets from iran and russia are not being suppressed take a listen why do you deny their platforms the ascent answer ship to us press that we haven't censored the us president i guess you have how many post from iran's terrorist ochoa have you censored. how many was from vladimir and have you censored we know we have label tweets world leaders now we propose to run not taking down the content but somebody from the rest of the surrounded. ok and the u.s. president you have censored 65 times now donald trump has long been critical of the tech giants we've seen donald trump accuse them of shadow banning

his posts and posts from republicans furthermore we did see him sign an executive order that challenge the protection from lawsuits given to the tech giants under the telecommunications act the tech giants were certainly not happy with that move by donald trump now democrats have criticized today's hearing saying it was simply an election ploy 'd an attempt on the part of the administration to look like it's being victimized in the lead up to the vote in this coming tuesday however it was certainly intense as the leaders of the tech monopolies were faced with harsh questioning by u.s. senators get up thanks for taking us through all of caleb maupin life from new york and we keep the news ruling here on our team for national in 90 seconds time stay with us.

you know we dealing with a global pandemic in. viral type infecting people causing chaos and mayhem but that's small change compared to the mind

virus because. 16 minutes into the program very welcome to our international let's go to check in some stories making headlines from around the world now beginning in chile u.s. capitol police there have used water cannon to break up an anti government demonstration by cyclists the protest had been called following a sharp hike in metro firs which the government has since council where demonstrators are still angry about rising living costs pension reforms on alleged abuse of power by police. meanwhile in north america in california more than 100000 people have been forced to flee their homes amid wildfires burning out of control

in the region specialists planes being battling the blazes now police 2 firefighters have been injured and are currently in a critical condition. of typhoon has made landfall just some of the vietnamese resort city have done leaving at least 2 people dead 2 fishing boats with 26 crew on board were also sunk more than half a 1000000 people fled the area ahead of the typhoons arrival it is believed to be the strongest storm in vietnam in 20 years and comes as the country continues to recover from severe flooding which killed more than $130.00 this awesome. now attempting to corner the elusive but often crucial youth vote can sometimes lead to some cringe worthy moments for politicians as biden's democrats running mate horace fein died during a footwear promotion. everybody

got put in a planet chock full of not just small tire locally they mentor the local. never let myself you're powerful and part of the power of especially adolescent is your flow. i'm good cause i want you to take a look at my nails how they look at. that looking very. much like the girl you know foreign now you know what it's ok.

if i didn't have a plan for african americans we're not dealing with your average joe i think a way you're looking right now you know exactly where i'm going with this but for years we had trump and all and we made the most of what we finally got somebody to have to be in that to give us a chance to have. let's return to our top story now where disagreements over freedom of expression between france and muslim majority countries have been raging elsewhere. the brutal murder

of a history teacher near porus the satirical magazine surely a dog has also been targeted after publishing a car a creature of the turkish president who has been one of the fiercest critics of the french state stance on the issue well to discuss all this we're joined by a number of guests we've got and repeat and former french transport minister terry mariani political analyst in the middle professor of european law francesco resists so gentlemen you're all very welcome to the program francesco before we get perhaps into the surely a dos spectate this why do you think money will micron's clumping donz so hard now some 20 people have been killed by terrorists during his tenure is it the graphic nature of the teachers beheading that list sparked this or are there other reasons i think the brutal murder of the teacher down to the. shocked people beheading somebody in that way.

i think really did. raise the shock factor frankly i think behind it there is a general dissatisfaction in so. with the behavior of. the green and middle east. and also in the conflict in the caucasus between. john and of course i mean yes so there's a long history but i think it's unfortunate that it's got to this point let's cross to istanbul use of use of you can't hold the country sponsible for one of my post can you it's a private enterprise publishing satire in a western liberal nation. i don't think problem is just charlie a boy and there caricature is i think it's the institutionalisation of mosques i

think it's microns comments that islam is in chaos islam needs to be reformed was mccrum to reform islam was mccrum to judge whether islam is in chaos or not and i think it's also the projection of these caricature is on municipal buildings so it's a lot more than just simple magazine i think that muslims can care less about it just being a magazine i think when it goes up to a presidential level in france and you have someone at the level of kron backing this caricature and making a big fuss about it and criticizing the state of islam yet that's that's taken very seriously by muslims all throughout the world and to reduce this to go on versus mccraw no it's not our versus my rock muslims all over the world are very very angered out on just happens to be more vocal yappin to be more popular than many of

the other leaders and he's the one that's been thrust of the forefront in this there's also many other issues between turkey and france as you stated before so it's a complicated situation between turkey and france but this is not a turkey france issue but there was terry a direct call from the president of turkey a bite and moneygall micron's mental health calling it a low blow but with out in mind and allies have supported the french president by thought would they not then have to view the new cartoon in a not dissimilar a way. well i repeat it's a right that you speak in this year's me from. all the private newspaper can make up to and use the french tradition you can accent you can refuse if i can said something to our turkish friend inside this newspaper the name shelley it do during

20 years i so now they've got 0 again it's good again it's just it's crimes against the pope and. it's not just the gates misname excuse me i agree we seemed at risk it's a you don't get of this newspaper why because it gives me. the evidence that it's not that dirty in this moment but i want to tell you that this newspaper post is not the position of the government the position of the government is freedom of press and so again and i repeat the 1st don't get of this newspaper since the beginning is the pope is does it grow rice and he's not mislead mislead not just on the same level and then religion that so. francesco as you so spoke earlier a bite it's a lot of muslims who are feeling they're being directly attacked by this it's not

just seen as a clumped on radical islam is and how do you confront the 2 how do you do that i think with a great deal of difficulty and a little bit of sensitivity i mean not listening to to a french comic i mean i agree. this has a sort of clash of civilization value systems i wouldn't go so far as to say it is . it is extremely difficult there are clearly different perspectives on the world and values i think sensitivity to each other is important and i would say that freedom cannot be absolute but in that sense we need to be sensitive i remember the big scandal when there was a search. about jesus christ and mary matalin the monks catholics and even those who weren't practicing catholics if you lived there are certain that we need to recognize and be sensitive about without necessarily freedom of speech but as i say

in mind this pact with turkey is actually symptomatic of the deeper malaise between turkey and the rest of europe. into those if you like the beheading of that. teacher was the spark but remember there are problems between turkey and greece over a turkish share i think there's more to this than. meets the highest you like use of but there are ramifications under that that go beyond this because a recent poll showed that self-censorship by teachers in france has risen by a 3rd fear in the classroom is surely not something that should or can be allowed to occur no no ensure that the self-censorship well why shouldn't the teacher then be able to show under debate and discuss with his school children freedom of expression by using that caricature. look at the end of the day some

things are sacred to some people i think this needs to be respected when religion is a very ginger very touchy subject and when you enter someone else's tabooed and you claim freedom of expression but then you have a leader of a french leader again continue to project this on the buildings you have a french leader continue to say islam is in chaos this is really pushes the line pushes the line to an area that it doesn't need to go there's no need to escalate this situation there's no interest being met here there's no greater good being served here what i see is metron having a lot of domestic problems and he's moving to the farther right this is not who mccracken was he was a centrist he's moving to the party right he's entering dangerous territory this is not who he is he's trying to mask his shortcomings he's trying to mask his failures

right now and he's choosing a bogeyman and that book the man happens to be islam he's riding a wave of fear because of this brutal beheading yes it's very very brutal it's an act of terrorism ok nobody wants this but that does not mean that you blame a religion it won't point 8000000000 people ok the final say because we're just running a time to charlie mariani kerry just to pick up one of the points you said made there there is freedom of expression and then there's plain insulting isn't there where does this fall. nobody in france there is nobody me i repeat but i agree with my british because. you have the right to make every. but i distance education. that normally everybody drives to dump. people. what is the situation and if you want to know i am very sad as

a members of parliament because in fact. what. is far less. extreme far less since many yes in fact during these or years. and for me the problem is not missed. the problem is that in my country and grisha is completely broken immigration. has it too i delivered and to great everybody was before that's right of course the biggest difficulties we still make in this same. freedom for the press and the bible ok but distance for for those it is a time has beaten us a very interesting discussion though thank you all very much we've been speaking to m.e.p. and former french transport minister terry mariani political analyst youssef r m i see frantically trying to tell us how to tell you not british profession of
