but you can be even just combining. to go. to millions of other with monte juice. europe starts closing up again is the pandemic spirals out of control with france and germany going back into law. freedom of speech or blasphemy protest group muslim countries over france defending the right to parody religion and after a french teacher was beheaded 2 weeks ago showing students cartoons of the prophet mohammed. 2020 presidential election in the us those record numbers of early voters 75000000 americans casting their ballots ready voter fraud concerns run by the head of the big day.

great have you with this it is r.t. international your top stories coming. let's start with france which is going back international law down the pandemic spiralling out of control it seems across europe french citizens will now need special certificates to move around their cities because the demand the tough measures starting on friday will last for at least a month. they bought the we are overwhelmed by the 2nd wave of film that's we now know with certainly be harder and deadlier than the 1st one from by day we will see a tosha of bars and restaurants all essential or non-essential shops will be closed and those forms that people in france needed during the 1st lockdown to leave home is at a step since they will be back the suggestion is that once again the french will only be able to leave their home if they have to do essential shopping if they have to go to the doctor says or if they need their one of our of daily exercises back

to those really restrictive measures the one thing that is different this time around there is the fact that schools will remain open and we know the president machen said that this will be reviewed in 2 weeks to see how the progress is going away or that means that they can perhaps loosen the noose slightly these measures are being brought in mainly to try and help hospitals hospitals which say they are overwhelmed by cases of cope 19 hospital staff who have been saying commodes they are exhausted and need more assistance now we know that this had been expected by many people and fearing the worst that it would be is an excellent of a 2nd locked out and as a result of that people leaving paris to be able to not stay during a lockdown in perhaps small cramped apartments present mokoena said the government will give everything possible to keep people in the means that they need to we know

that a 3rd long will be extending it and we know that there will be more aid announced for as social charges and for rent and there will be a total business say so france going into its 2nd lockdown a lockdown that's not expected to last until at least december 1st it's not what the government wanted but present my concept she said. it was no other choice. germany has also announced a 2nd lockdown starting monday it won't be quite as strict as france's but that hasn't stopped people coming out of vent their anger with the playing host to an anti lockdown march they are worried that certain sectors of the economy including entertainment won't survive. of course for his inability to all of a joins me now good morning to you peter just take us through that how strict will germany's new lockdown be. well it's being called

lockdown lite books what it does do is block down quite a lot of society schools kindergartens and as much of the economy as possible of being prioritized but that comes at the expense of social and leisure activities just a quick roundup theaters concert halls they're going to close sports clubs are mature sports gym swimming pools they're all closing as well professional sport will remain open but not to funds those funds that have been allowed in they're not going to be allowed into the stadiums anymore games played behind closed doors when it comes to retail we're looking at one customer per 10 square metres of shop floor space now we understand that this was part of a a huge discussion between angle and merkel the german chancellor in the leaders of the 16 german states because the initial plan had been to allow only one customer per $25.00 square metres of shop floor the fear was that that would just spell the

end for a lot of small businesses any nail bars beauty parlors tattoo shops they are all closing as well head dresses will be allowed to remain open but there's a whole new raft of new measures that they're going to have to put in place in announcing lockdown light americal said that this was necessary because if they didn't do it well they german health care system could well be overwhelmed you can design dozens of cars into its esteem if the current rate of spread of the crooner virus in germany continues up the health care system will collapse within a few weeks and impudence of these can get out of control in the blink of an eye in so that is why the united indecisive action. german finance minister all of shorts is said that november is a crucial month when it comes to germany's fight against the pandemic there's also been an announcement of

a lot of cash basically to help people through this lockdown light $10000000000.00 euro we understand will be put forward that allow the government to pay 75 percent of the salaries of small people it's small businesses that are forced to close a small business being any business that has under 50 staff and 70 percent of any large business over 50 staff now despite those measures of the financial support there are still people that are incredibly on happy out this move by the government in fact what we have seen over the last weeks and months is a group of people ranging from well conspiracy theorists frankly to those whatever that economically people will not survive coronavirus measures coming out onto the streets of germany and venting their anger it seems that following this move by the german government for a lock down light we may well see more scenes like this. the

measures that have been put in place by the german government are expected to run through until nearly the end of november they will be reviewed in 2 weeks time though but what that does is it brings us into christmas market season the christmas markets of course famed here in germany incredibly popular with both locals and tourists alike what we all. already know is the christmas market norm burke one of the most popular ones in germany isn't going ahead there's also been christmas market closures announced in frankfurt cologne and others there are some

that are still scheduled to go ahead in bavaria also in essen for instead of the usual free for all masks will have to be worn and they'll be a one way system put in place those markets that are set to open set to open at the end of november we'll have to wait to see how these new measures of the new lockdown affect that opening the 2nd wave lockdowns incoming in europe with the latest details from germany peter oliver thank you. protests a gripping the muslim world over the french president's recent defense of the right to parody religion his remarks followed the beheading of a teacher who journey's class caricature of the prophet mohammed these were 1st published by satirical magazine show which is again sparked fury with his latest front cover features a caricature of the turkish president who has been one of the fiercest critics of the french state stance on the right to mock religion and protocol that front cover

disgusting because prosecutors launching a criminal probe in response to shirley ago publishing the caricature of the turkish president slammed the hostility towards islam adding that disrespect for the prophet muhammad is spreading like cancer especially among european leaders so we asked people in paris how they see the one cartoon. i personally i find it disrespectful even if you have the right to use blasphemy you have no right to mock religion it's only here in these times of crisis and international attacks on fronts i find it important to reaffirm the values which we are firmly established in france the caricature is the 1st of these. the publication of this drawing and marking a religion is dangerous because it increases hatred. but represents the fact that despite everything humor is the most important thing and that everyone in this position after everything here said about france and the president of our republic

gets a nice lesson from charlie and joe here before the office holder should read the latest drawing with air to one it's a provocation ask the. guard. meanwhile the french ambassador to sweden has stressed the france is a muslim country firmly rejecting the idea there's any conflict between france and the muslim world is words have left some prisons dissatisfied. i don't agree with the french ambassador to swear down because we live in a secular country there are many communities in france one of them muslim people which have a big place in france but to stay secular country. france is not a muslim country absolutely not it is a country where you do a christian tradition and there is nothing more to see more it is really stupid france is not a muslim country but islam is the religion which has the most believers here and we can see a lot of racism in france there are a prejudices towards muslim people. that are called again and o'neil and i guess

discuss the limits of freedom of expression. you can't hold a country sponsible for one of my using posts can you it's a private enterprise publishing satire in a western liberal nation i don't the problem is just charlie able in their characters i think it's the institutionalization of mosques i think it's microns comments that islam is in chaos is a lot needs to be reformed mccrum to reform islam was move wrong to judge whether islam is in chaos or not i think what it goes up to a presidential level in france and you had someone at the level of micron backing this caricature and making a big fuss about it and criticizing the state of islam yet that's taken very seriously by muslims throughout the world so bright that you speak for an excuse me . or deprive a newspaper can make up to and use the french tradition you can accent it can

refuse if i don't said something to out this friend inside did this newspaper the name shirley at the during 20 years i sue got it get 0 against go against jesus christ against the pope and. it's not just against misname this newspaper 1st it's not the position of the government the position of the government is freedom of press 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 this has echoes of a sort of clash of civilization in 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 in that sense. religion is

a very ginger very touchy subject and when you enter someone else's taboo and we read a mood of expression but then you have a leader of french of the year again continue to project this on the buildings you have the french leader continue to say islam is in chaos this really pushes the line there is freedom of expression and then the plane insulting isn't there where does this fall nobody everybody should drive. for me the problem is not miss the religion the problem is that in my country integration it's completely broken of course the biggest difficulties we still make in this same. freedom. and. this little baby girl ok but this sense for photo citizen.

with just 5 days to go go to this year's u.s. presidential election it's already a record breaking one so far more than $75000000.00 americans have cast early ballots represents more than a 3rd of all registered voters and while it's unclear which of the candidates trump or biden is leading so american seems to have had a change of heart following last week's final presidential debate online searches for ways of changing early voting ballots have spiked and it's caught the attention of the president strongly trending google since immediately after the 2nd debate is can i change my vote this refers changing it to me the answer in most states is yes go do it most important election all of your life. side of the truck most states don't allow changes once a vote has been cast but in places such as michigan wisconsin and alaska voters can ask officials up to election day to have their absentee ballots invalidated in order to get another one senior research fellow at global policy institute in

london george something whaling is skeptical of the benefits of early voting. well this is of course quite absurd because elections have a dynamic of their own and. you're not really supposed to make up your mind until it's time for election day so clearly what happens now is that you know middle of the election or 2 thirds of the way through the election people are having 2nd thoughts when they bounce or because the election isn't over and i think this is a consequence of allowing people to vote early i mean this is never really happened before there was always. an election and an election day when you're supposed to go and vote on the election day because there's a campaign and the campaign and the day before an election day so this is an inevitable consequence of too many people voting far too early and now

suddenly think well i've received a lot of new information and in light of the new information maybe i voted wrongly well this was bound to happen. in the run up to the election has been marred by concerns of widespread voter fraud with the white house leading unsupported claims that voting could be rigged in favor by death while the u.s. has long denounce foreign elections is deemed undemocratic questions start being raised about the legitimacy of its own process killam open has not. you have won over your party and your people you now stand as the new leader of a nation and at this point your primary goal is to repay the voters and please your citizens but all of that depends on what you and your country have to offer washington the guardian of free and fair elections fail to please washington and your grip on power might fade and fast we condemn the hong kong government's

decision to postpone for one year its legislative council elections nicolas maduro is a dictator with no legitimate claim to power the probe conducted uncovered proof of massive and systemic fraud on the libyan people screeches demand for free and fair elections and for democracy well what goes around comes around and in 2020 there are big international concerns about america's election overrule office for democratic institutions and human rights needs assessment mission in tilak it is noted that the conduct of these elections will be the most challenging in recent decades they expect that election officials will face serious challenges prior to and on election day detainee measures in response to covert $900.00 pantomimic and expressed concerns over their ability to overcome them so let's break down what those concerns are.

coded 19 has forced many parts of the country to go to mail in voting now the concerns there have been laid bare ballots rejected huge delays and some ballots discarded so there's no surprise that some are raising concerns of fraud including donald trump himself this election will be the most rigged election in history this is going to be a fraud like you've never seen here's why donald trump and the public have some serious concerns even more than just a few months ago east texas official is in jail accused of committing boger fraud. manatee county supervisor of elections mike bennett says wiggins requested a mail in ballot for himself and his wife meanwhile the state election board is asking george's attorney general to look into 98 outstanding cases of voter fraud d.o.j. announced at the f.b.i. the pennsylvania state police are investigating fraud in mail in ballots in a loser in county that ok so what about good old voting in person them.

if you are polling places long lines last minute relocations of polling places and a lack of international observers not convincing either especially for one democratic senator who's gone slightly over the top with this comparison if congress and steet don't act immediately our country could face a new electoral to ennoble this fall and if you think the vote challenges will be over as soon as the polls close. so now the media is ramping up what if donald trump loses but refuses to leave office do you commit to making sure that there's a nice little word for all of the want to get rid of the ballots and you have a very transfer will have a very peaceful there won't be a transfer or frankly there will be a continuation of the ballots at a contro you know it all of this has got americans bracing for the worst polls show that americans expect riots in the streets after the results are announced no

matter which way it goes potential ballot fraud lack of international observers leaders potentially refusing to accept the results and the specter of violence none of this sounds like an atmosphere in which one can have a free fair and transparent election and a quick look across the atlantic shows that only one in 10 europeans think that the election's going to be free and fair sanctions condemnation appeals to the united nations and endless grandstanding perhaps the results if this kind of election was seen by the united states. happening in another country illegitimate they might call it well perhaps it's time that the united states trump and biden realize that sometimes it's just as red white and blue on the other side of the fence. r.t. new york. punning to most in the stretch to buy guns until the tactical gear is the outcome of the election creates uncertainty will bring you that story and all this after the break.
