there good evening just gone 6 o'clock here on sky we're watching the international start of course with our continuing breaking news this hour because france has found itself the victim of yet another brutal knife attack 3 people were killed with at least one beheaded when a man targeted a cathedral in the southern city of nick's. now the footage you're seeing here is the moment when police entered the cathedral

after the sail into a truck early in the morning suspect was arrested after being shot and wounded by police anti terror prosecutors have launched a probe in the country's terror alert system has been raised to maximum meanwhile president macron has visited the scene and given his reaction he said that his country was under attack and ordered deployment of 7000 soldiers throughout the country with more now on today's events his shot at the pinsky. the attack level in france has been raised in the last few hours to attack a level meaning france thinks it could be subject to other attacks following what's happened in nice where 3 people were killed inside a church inside not a silica in the heart of the city of nice present mark warner has arrived on the site to see what's happening and to offer his condolences 3 people dead including one we understand who was beheaded in an attack that has shocking reminiscent of

that attack on the history teacher sent back to less than 2 weeks ago 2 others also killed in that attack we are not exactly sure of the details of what happened to them but they do understand that it was a mass stabbing that took place inside the church now the mayor of nice has been talking out about what's happened he's described this as a terror attack. in this new tragedy today we see victims of islamofascism which i have repeatedly denounced while the anti terrorism prosecution has taken over the investigation into what unfolded in nice and we are waiting for further developments from them to see whether they are officially considering this to be a terror attack but all suggestions would show that that is exactly what it is it has the hallmarks of islamist attacks including when the perpetrator was apprehended by the police he apparently screamed out. several times that is god is

the greatest the french prime minister has been paying his own condolences this act which is barbarian as it is cowardly has plunged the entire nation into mourning the government has just raised its terror alert level throughout the country there's been reaction as well from opposition politicians who are questioning what's happened in nice some of the strongest came from the leader of the nash. a rally in marine le pen the dramatic acceleration of islamist acts a war against our fellow citizens in our country demands from our leaders a comprehensive response and at the ready cation of business and from our soil bullshitted of course offer her condolences to the families of the victims of that brutal attack in the heart of niece on thursday morning and that's also been the thoughts and condolences from many of the people now of course this attack happened in a catholic church and the vatican has been speaking out about this recently suggesting

that they condemn this attack and also has said that terrorism and violence is never acceptable and this does come to you doesn't it charlotte it's a very tense time for france yes france at the moment is on the edge of a knife with this anger spilling out in muslim majority countries this comes after president mcentee friended the right to publish and choose controversial cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammed in civics lessons such as after the beheading of 7 patty and also to be published in french magazines and in its newspapers let's take a quick reminder now of what's unfolded in the last 2 weeks. on the one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compadre it was the victim of an islamist terror attack. was.

the. city and this is the concern person of russian nationality and of chechen origin benefited from a refugee status and lived in fear he was unknown to the intelligence services on a judicial level he's never be. convicted but was known for cases of damaging public property and gang violence while still a minor. fuel he asked muslim children to raise their hands and leave the classroom she did it my son told me he didn't do it to discriminate or to hurt he did it to preserve the children to not shield them he explains i'd prefer if you left because i'm going to show her tune of the prophet of islam i don't want to shock you.

i'm even more shocked that this college is one i opened when i was the town mayor working there was nice and it was located in a neighborhood without any problems or violence i don't think this act of terror is a crazy man but a premeditated act. well following comments by president mack on that france would not step back from showing these controversial cartoons there has been this out spilling of anger in many muslim majority countries with protests in bangladesh in jordan libya and in other countries there's also been a call for a boycott of french products and we've heard the turkish president to essentially lead the charge saying that president maclin needed to have his mental health check all of this comes as the director general of the national police in france has been

urging for the last few days for additional vigilance in the wake of what's happening this anti french sentiment he indeed said to people that they needed to be extra vigilant particularly around places such as religious sites which of course this church in nice is. ok let's talk about this further now because we are joined by a medic monbiot is that a french publisher and journalist and thank you very much for your time this evening look another devastating day for france and other more brutal killings that we've seen we've also just heard president macron say that france is in danger i just want to know what you thought about that statement is it a worrying statement to make as the head of state or. understood the general logic which has tended to political islam is and. are most abide by french support for feudal regimes such as so do arabia and qatar of these

countries financed solipsism where have bisan and the muslim brotherhood once you have created a climate you can have genuinely isolated and spent 10 years acts but this makes it's particularly dangerous and difficult to predict but if anything can be done it's by it's by removing the french alliance with the 2 countries i mentioned. with regard to what he said today and i understand your concern but i just wondered what the mood in the country is now after listening to your president. i think france what was a country of religious warfare especially between catholics and protestants. after much trial and error we found a way to live together which is secure a reason and i think that we will survive this situation provided that we remember the principles of security which is i remind you and i remember all my country know

the strict separation of churches and states trick separation it doesn't mean the imposition of a state or theism it's super ration and recently the one and the other has have been confused it's 1st of all a lack of culture and historical death of a government that had this created this so what how would you see the way forward here in america because the french government is saying look we're going to tighten security on the streets we're going to put the army on the street are you happy with that what more would you like to be saying done or can more be done. i think there was a big confusion in france lately about adults freedom of expression and what is taught to teenagers in school. 'd teenagers adolescents should be taught a principle that is simple to understand which is the separation of church and

state for freedom of expression it is to be defended. but it must be understood that is it is not unconditional and that is always me its limits for all for and for example the call for murder for example. there is a limit so the call for murder 'd cannot be treated as a freedom of expression but where the limits placed must business object of constant discussion among citizens it is not and is a subject and it cannot be taught taught like the. theorem for example only in schools secure a resume is the french sense in the french sense of the world because it was created and developed good in france and specially with the with the law 1905 it can be taught it must be true a lot but you cannot fault freedom of expression like a theorem it's impossible. as it should be between adults so you

think present. freedom of speech has been take simplistic. yes i just to explain to you i think the french tradition which is essentially jacobean it is not a cultural it is very very different from england and the section countries for example the french formula is the republic recognizes all your rights as individuals but nothing nothing as a community in other words you will have all the rights all the rights to practice your religion in private without being. subject to to threats or other thing but this must not become a political position precisely this can work in france for also remains republican and does not engage in much occurred culture and isms i think we have to to tell it's ourself on our french story because we also have being living from

a lot of situations like this and we've found a solution in a very republican district what you make of the conflicts was a conflict the war of words that we're hearing between france and other muslim countries of. for fortunately turkey condemned this the nice attacks it's good to understand that all this tension has to come down everyone must focus on the need to avoid war war between states as well as civil war on the other hand like. cattery and saudi pakistani competitors. uses radical islamism to try to become the the world leader of a pseudo holy war against france presenting the satanic leader of license and blasphemy that's a terrible threat 1st of all to the middle millions of muslims who do not in france

we do not confuse their personal faith with the progenitor can perfectly trigger the 1st of the 3rd and last world war. i think all the thing is all the more dangerous because for decades successive sued to secure oh for sure led by in a close a crazy for instance have allowed you to crisscross our country by sending a business so called. reactionary muslim brotherhood and so to referring to or secure our culture. we better leave it there thank you time saving american on the hill french publisher and journalist. just give you a recap and what has happened today because 3 people have been left dead with at least one beheaded after a man went on a knife attack at a cathedral in the french city of nice the silent was shot and wounded by place before being arrested but have more coverage on this breaking news story just after

the break. congo. the maternity town the slums go in and you may never get out so the most of . my teenage gang rules here. you know one of you to move then you're letting my people go you know that you were through with but. the navy will be very strong will come out. minus a murder 0. and now it's looking for the yeah word on the news that has to be found and melanie when i wouldn't.

you know and you know i'm looking through communes all i see. an entire village in alaska. if another country trying to wipe out an american town . we do everything in our power to protect the. water they escaping climate change poses the same threat right now alaska does seem some of the fuss just coastal erosion in the world we lost about 30 feet. 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. it is fast and that means the river is 35 closer in the town than one was for i think were part of her 1st from.

again you're watching r.t. international now france has been rocked by another horrific knife attack this time in the city of nice 3 people were killed with at least one beheaded several others were injured the incident did take place early this morning inside a cathedral in the city center the suspect was later arrested after being shot and wounded president macron has since visited the scene he said that the country was now in danger and ordered an increase in the deployment of soldiers throughout the country france's terror threat system has been raised to to its highest level meanwhile the french consulate in the saudi city of jeddah horse came under attack today guard was left with stab wounds after being targeted by a man armed with a knife the attacker was arrested and the guard was not seriously injured french

officials called on saudi authorities to ensure the safety of french people in the country earlier i discussed all of what lies behind the recent wave of attacks with artie's were aghast. this is been the pattern for the last several years of attacks and terror all over france and they've been ceaseless 2015 the attack on sharlee abdul headquarters a dozen people killed then same year the attacks and in paris more than 100 people killed 400 injured the next year the truck attack in nice 80 people killed 20172018 more stabbing shootings ramming then 2000 the tackler police stations other shootings and stabbings this is this is a horrific. horrific pardon leading up to this year and of course 2 weeks 3 attacks

and many of these attacks can be traced back to these these characters charlie hebdo and this is perhaps the reason the french patiences is running out both among the public both and among the government we we've seen mass rallies calling for an end to this you know enough is enough is enough these are just cartoons these are just characters. there is there is this sense in the president's reaction to the murder of the french teacher 2 weeks ago that you know the french government is toughening up its position but samuel was murdered for the very reason that he embodied the values of the french republic he was killed because islamists want to destroy our future and with silent heroes like simultaneity they will not prevail samuel was a victim of lies a conspiracy theory of the hatred of others of what we are on friday he became the face of the republic and our desire to break down terrorist networks islamicists to

live like a community of free citizens he was talking there about the beheading of the french teacher a couple of weeks ago i want to be french government to you in particular in response to that. well there's a very strong reaction they went after the muslim civil society shutting down some 50 n.g.o.s and charities including the collective against the slab of phobia in france which is considered somewhat mainstream nevertheless they have now gone after them more than 200 people are either awaiting deportation from france or have been arrested by authorities on suspicion of being radicalized in and you know the interior minister has come out and called some of these in jews' enemies of france enemies of france and these of french and use these are french organizations french charities which is again in keeping with the president's own very

tough rhetoric about what is happening and what is going on nevertheless what they hope to achieve with with this by toughening up rhetoric by taking a very hard stance by throwing mediation to the wind and now insisting the war going on what they hope to achieve with this. is unclear at the moment but what we do know it has provoked a strong reaction from muslim countries well there's been a double reaction this is the 1st reaction has been condolences condolences with regards to the murder of the teacher condolences with regards to what has happened today even even turkey coming out and saying that you know this is completely unacceptable there is new explanation there is no reason for murder there is no justification for begging people for killing civilians out in the streets of the city the other reaction has been not to what is happening in france but to what french authorities are saying and in the muslim world this is from north africa all

the way to southeast asia to malaysia the reaction has been very different because they're seeing they're hearing what the french are saying motors not as called the nation of terrorism but it is. to be abiding islam a phobia they're seeing seeing what the french are doing what the french are saying . and they don't understand that because what they see is a slum a phobia they see them going after muslims muslim charities muslim organizations. as opposed to going after terrorists and radicals france of the other hand of course saying that it is terrorists and radicals that they're going after the hour after the islam of fascists i believe the latest one that they've come up with. the muslim world is increasingly upset by what the french are saying. needs mental health treatment what else can be said to a head of state who does not understand freedom of belief and who behaves in this way to millions of people living in his country who are members of

a different faith muslims are the primary victims of the cult of hatred empowered by colonial regimes and exported by their own clients insulting 1100000000 muslims and their sanctities for the apparent crimes of such extremists is not unique to could be use of freedom of speech it only fuels extremism the recent statements that the leadership level is the dence of this accretion of the holy qur'an a reflection of this increasing islamophobia that is spreading in european countries we must explain to the western world the value systems differ for different social and religious and ethnic groups in the world so all the politicians and the leaders coming asking for asking for what are you saying the ambassador was summoned in iran we also have more slim's ordinary muslims all over the world people who have one of nothing to do with terrorism we want nothing to do with these head examined who condemn condemn violence they're still coming out into

the streets there waving banners across the muslim world even even here there was a small demonstration in moscow today. before before this incident and what people want to know is where does free speech end. and where does religious tolerance begin because by by the descriptions of these characters is the point of them was was to insult they are insulting the crude they're insulting and the point was to get a reaction this is what many muslims many analysts say that surely do which usually doesn't sell very many copies i believe the in the past was around 60000 but they feed they capitalize on huge amounts of good and huge amounts of attention that they get after every publication after every major incident that they're in the limelight and this is what ordinary people are saying that you know there's been a history of this now they keep doing it and doing it and it isn't it isn't for.

the defense of freedom of speech is as an act of freedom of speech which is obviously very different to the position of many logan as ations journalists the french authorities that say religion is religion and it is it is subject to free speech you can say whatever you want about religion nevertheless there has been this this pattern of protests and violence around it charley able to. be here it's happening again another 3 attacks in the span of 2 weeks i mean when will it dead when will it end and we haven't seen much change in the way that

fridge authorities a good thing about this ok they've they've now susan to be a little harder. on those they perceive to be the most radicals they're now saying you know this is this is essentially a war. cold war but there's no change in the way that they doing about that so it's the same response we're going to crackdown we're going to listen to more calls we're going to arrest people more people preemptively i mean what will change a law and he he was very harsh he was very odd saying that you know we we stand by julia but we condemn in the harshest terms these terror attacks and yet alternately nothing is changing i know this is incredibly complex issue you know with many people are divided many people as we've heard here over the course of today of how to do about resolving this but for now french authorities believe that the firm hand on this will will perhaps somehow lead to to

a conclusion to to an end to these incessant terror attacks against the of speaking to me earlier what we have been hearing to arrange opinion and reaction to all of today's events. tensions are mounting every day between the slimy word and france in france we have the french government saying that we have the freedom of speech we have the freedom to do anything about anyone we want and on the other side we have you shouldn't be insulting our prophet so this 2 points of view are opposing each other and this 2 communities don't understand each other if we want to stop the radical islam here in france we should prove and we should show them that france is a neutral country that what we call here. that no religion has the right to interfere with with the government or the state of affairs in france these radical

muslim don't understand that and the french government regarding its freedom of speech says that the we have the right to do anything you want to anyone who we want and this is our right this is our freedom of speech but in general we should understand and the viewers should understand that in france we have almost a total freedom of speech which saw 1st few exceptions and few restrictions but these restrictions never apply to the muslim that's i mean that's what the muslim of the french muslim they feel that the freedom of speech is. suffers no received and when you attack the muslim people and the muslim religion but not the other religion that's what they think when the charity issues were published and then there were and there was actually the list of 20 teenage the main jesuit review in france how delish not only the mohammed jacket years one of the 100 year it years but many sharia do caricature those that were much. against the catholic

church who treat nuns you could imagine it and they ran the. website precisely to make the point not even. this was an insult they were doing the christian thing in. you know showing to the cheek but also respecting the idea that the city does not exist and girls we're going to take a quick break now but we will continue our coverage of the knife attack in the french if nice just after the break. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. the communication was better than humans and their communication does

a lot of things better than we do so the possibility of not just being restricted with their brains we go out with a fine art number of growing some but even today even just combining true human brains to go. somebody has a lot of the advantages. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. congo. the maternity town the slums go in and you may need.
