when some find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. again is the pandemic spirals out of control with france and germany going back into long. muslim countries micron's defense of the right to islam there's no sign of dying down opinion on the streets of paris seems divided. even if you have the right to use blast for me have new right to my religion i find it in different values every which way. from a caricature of the 1st. 2020 us presidential election numbers of early voters with 75000000 americans having already cast their ballots for voter fraud concerns from higher head of the big.

international thanks for joining us. france is going back into national lockdown as the pandemic spirals it seems out of control across europe french citizens will now need special certificates to actually move around the city's president among your said that the tough measures starting from friday will last for at least a month. they bought the we are overwhelmed by the 2nd wave that's we now know will certainly be harder and deadlier than the 1st one from friday we will see tosha of boston 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 his desk 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 hour of daily exercise sent back to those who 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 present makan 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 at these measures are being brought in mainly to try and help hospitals hospitals which say they are overwhelmed by cases of coke 19 hospital staff who have been saying commodes they are exhausted and need assistance now we know that this had been expected by many people it fearing the worst that it would be this announcement of a 2nd locked out and as a result of that people leaving paris to be able to not stay during

a lockdown in past 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 the 3rd along will be extending it and we know that there will be more aid in them still as social charges and for rent and there will be a total business say so front staring into its 2nd lockdown lockdown it's not expected to last until at least send the 1st it's not what the government wanted but present my concept she said. was no other choice. germany's also announced a 2nd lockdown that will start on monday not quite as strict as francis but it hasn't stopped people coming out to vent their anger with than playing host to an anti lock down march there were certain sectors of the economy leading entertainment won't survive you to all of the reports. it's being called lock down

lights essentially what the aim is is to prioritize keeping schools and kindergartens and as much of the economy open as possible at the expense of social contacts what you're not going to be allowed to do is go to any well leisure activity basically see it is james a mature sports all of that is closing down professional sport will continue but those fans that have been allowed into bonds legal football games no more they are going to be played behind closed doors until american the german chancellor in announcing this lockdown light said that these moves were necessary to stop the german health care system becoming overwhelmed if you can darkness is an example it's a theme if the current rate of spread of the crooner virus in germany continues the health care system will collapse within a few weeks these can get out of control in the blink of an eye so that is why we are taking decisive action the german finance minister or less surely said that

november is a crucial month when it comes to germany tackling the coronavirus also put forward the potential of a huge financial impetus we're hearing reports that it could be as much as 10000000000 euro that's going to be put into paying the wages essentially of people who've had to not go to work because of this new lock down light while the majority of germans have supported the measures so overall that have been put in place there is a small but vocal minority that ranges. really from conspiracy theorists to those who concert they won't survive economically who have been protesting against the measures and the actions taken by angela merkel and the german government.

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 what we already know is the christmas market. 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 we'll have to wait to see how these new measures of the new lockdown affect that opening. protests are gripping the muslim world over the french president's recent defense of the right to parody religion comes as french satirical magazine caricature has or at the center of the round and fuel to the fire with the latest front cover and

this features a cartoon of the turkish president who's been one of the physics critics of the french state stance on freedom of expression and crew has called the front cover disgusting turkish prosecutors launching a criminal probe in response to shirley of the publishing his caricature or the turkish president slammed its alleged hostility towards islam and in the disrespect for the prophet mohammed is spreading like cancer especially among european leaders yes people in paris are they see the divine carting. personally i find it disrespectful even to have the writing is blasphemy i have no right to mock religion or this or that 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 the drawing and marking of religion is dangerous because it increases hatred with all that it

represents the fact that despite everything that's humor is the most important thing and there are one in this position after everything here said about france and the president of our republic gets a nice lesson from charlie hebdo. that's because of the latest drawing with their to one it's a provocation. the debate over the freedom of expression in france was brought to prominence after the beheading of a teacher near paris 2 weeks ago so only a patsy was murdered after showing his class caricature as the problem hammered his lesson had been centered on freedom of speech part of the french national curriculum you are france's ambassador to sweden has recently gone so far as to say france is a muslim country his remarks didn't ring true though with the presidents we spoke to. 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 try to be nice in france but he's still a secular country there's this is not

a muslim country absolutely not it is a country of judeo christian tradition and there is nothing more to say 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 earlier by colleague in an email and i guess the scots 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 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 mccrum to reform islam was mccrum to judge whether islam is in chaos or not i think when it goes up to a presidential level in france and you have someone at the level of metron backing

this caricature and making a big fuss about it and criticizing the state of islam yeah that's that's taken very seriously by muslims throughout the world so bright that you state this gives me. all the private newspaper can make up to and use the french tradition you can accent it can refuse if i don't said something to our turkish friend inside did this newspaper the name shirley at the during 20 years i so get 0 against against jesus christ against the pope and. it's not just against misname this newspaper at 1st is 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 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 in volumes 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 you claim freedom of expression but then you have a leader a french leader 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 write. for me the problem is not mislead

the problem is that in my country and to grisha it's completely broken of course the biggest difficulties we still make in this same. freedom for the press and said this not by a girl ok but this sense for photos it is that. just 5 days to go this is u.s. presidential election is already a record breaking one so far more than 75000000 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 in the lead some americans seem to have already had a change of heart following last week's final presidential debate online searches for ways of changing early voting ballots have spiked and that 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 of your life. most states don't allow changes once a vote is being cast but in places like michigan wisconsin and alaska voters can actually ask officials up until election day to have their absentee ballots invalidated in order to get another one senior research fellow at global policy institute in london george some well is skeptical to even have 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 middle of the election or 2 thirds of the way through the election people are having 2nd thoughts when they're bound to 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 they're 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 elections been mined by concerns over widespread voter fraud with the white house leading unsupported claims that voting could be rigged in favor of biden while the us has long denounced foreign elections it deemed undemocratic questions are being raised about the legitimacy of its own process and i'm open explains. 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 live in people's courageous 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 new measures in response to cope with 1000 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 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 steitz don't act immediately our country could face an electoral tour noble 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. pundit to bury can rush to buy guns on to the time school gives the outcome of the us election creates uncertainty and you that story more to the right . you know we dealing with a global pandemic in the viral type infecting people causing chaos and mayhem but that small change compared to the mind virus bit coy.

a significant jump in the united states with fears over the coronavirus pandemic racial tension and the outcome of next week's presidential election driving panicked americans it seems the gun stores rank as the explains. b.l.m. protests and riots may have dwindled but where there was wrought. there is now cold rage all the grievances are still that all the hate the canal it's it's organized with permits and uniforms and guns a lot of guns. ah. first the virus then b.l.m. and now now the election uncertainty 60 percent of americans expect violence in the wake of the election according to a recent poll authorities understand full well the dangers here texas has mobilized

a camping stuff they've been buying like the back. ends but let's not play that out of every gap in trip or to prepare for something it isn't just politics it is personal according to another recent poll the majority of trump. but biden supporters believe the other side will resort to fall play election fraud and given that both republicans and democrats have been evasive whether they'll concede defeat you understand why people are nervous before you commit to making sure that there is a peaceful transfer for all the power of the election. as you know that i've been complaining very strongly about the ballots joe biden should not concede under any circumstances because i think this is going to drag out at the end of the day this is a precarious situation in the ocean of anger a flood of guns and a tide of fear so much fear and the election isn't just making voters act in

i. this is the boom bust of the one business show you can't afford to miss boring washington coming up american and european markets are limping as pope and i think his sir continued to surge around the globe straight ahead we're going to take a look at the cases around the world and what hope there could be for markets and we take you back to canada to catch up on the extradition trial of wild ways c.f.o. men 10 and the state of the global 5 g. race with a packed show today so let's dive right in. and we lead the program with the latest wave of coping one thousands of fact on markets and the economy western markets are reeling as the u.s. hit a new all time record on tuesday with nearly 72000 new cases of the krona

virus reported now the pandemic coupled with a contentious us presidential election is pushing market volatility the pan european stock $600.00 dropped nearly 3 percent tuesday hitting its lowest point since june during the session u.s. markets followed suit with the dow losing as much as $900.00 points at session lows the tech heavy nasdaq which has performed well amid the pandemic dropped more than $300.00 points the 3 major indices in the u.s. each lost at least 3 percent on the day and we'll get to the economic and now at this moment terribly but 1st let's take another look at the trends in the spread of the virus globally with our t. correspondent saya tavenner where are we when say so brand right now more than 44600000 cases and more than 1176000 deaths have been reported worldwide from the buyers now the u.s. on the other hand. they saw just 500000 new cases over the past week and that's the

record of daily infections i should say the weekly one now on tuesday the nation saw about 74000 new cases which marks the 3rd consecutive day actually that the u.s. is setting a record for a high of average daily new cases now meanwhile deaths there are also climbing right so it's not just cases because when cases go up they lead to death we're seeing a 15 percent increase compared to last week with 983 deaths reported on tuesday now some other states that are reporting record highs are for example wisconsin they're seeing is 75 percent increase from the prior week in depth while at tennessee their death rates as rose 65 percent nebraska saw a week over week increase of 45 percent and 51 states have head average high for hospitalizations so brands obviously we're just not going in the direction that the country needs.
