10:03 am
a lot of gunshots. the anti terror prosecutors said on thursday evening they were still exploring lines in regards to the perpetrator behind the brutal attack it tack that took place just 24 hours ago in the silicon behind me not tied down basilica in the heart of nice with 3 people were brutally murdered i just want to take you through some of the details we know about the victims of this latest terror attack france one was a 60 year old woman who had gone to the church at. the press for the 1st mass of the morning we heard from the anti terror prosecutor that she was almost beheaded by the perpetrator a 2nd was a man a 55 year old man who's been named is of all saw cares a father of 3 who also worked as a sex in the church he'd been here for 10 years and the 3rd person was
10:04 am
a woman who said to be around $44.00 she's been named in the brazilian press as being simone. she was stabbed she managed to escape from the church to raise the alarm. as a result of her heroic actions the police were informed and able to come and apprehend the perpetrator she succumbed to her injuries last words were apparently tell my family that i love them president mark on has warned france's once again attack but when he visited nice on thursday he remained defiant that freedom and france would continue to up hold its valleys and some said that if we were attacked once again it is for our values for our taste of freedom for this possibility on our soil to believe freely and not to give in to any mind of terror i say with great clarity once again today we will not give in this morning we decided to
10:05 am
increase the vigilance everywhere in france to adapt to the terrorist threat i've decided that our soldiers will be more mobilized in the coming hours and we will up the mobilization within the framework of operational sentinel from 30027000 soldiers on the ground there referencing operations sentinel this is not ration that was set up back in 2015 when that 1st terror wave really hit france following the attacks it surely abdo and then later in the year in paris which saw the the battle plan attacked in very many people who were killed in the coordinated attacks by terrorists $4000.00 extra security. snell now deployed across fronts particularly at sites like this church and also at schools and one of the reasons that religious sites are getting the priority when it comes to security is because there was a release earlier this week from a thought but which is a press agency linked to the terror network al qaeda which suggested that christian
10:06 am
symbols should be attacked in nice is already been subjected to terror attacks in the past including that horrific attack back in 2016 that saw 86 people lose their lives when a truck plowed into a crowd of people who were celebrating the july 14th bus the day celebrations in nice is already had its fair share of terror people here disbelief shock once again that this could hit at the heart of the city but there is also anger to. the french the man justice who want these people to be deported to their country ok in security there is no safety 3 people are dead what you are married to build another mosque and sums up each we are in a country that has witnessed atrocities teachers being beheaded priests having the throats slit people are beheaded in a church that's not france and even if we take in all possible security measures
10:07 am
have been able to come in with a knife and do his deadly deed 0 risk does not exist and that's perhaps the most shocking thing for most people is that this is 3 people who are inside a church and they're in a place where that should have been sanctity they should have been safety instead they met there and people have been coming to the church in lame true peace since that attack took place but the reality is that this is a community that is still in complete shock over what's happened since those attacks back in 2015 which started this wave of terror in france we saw all those huge attacks and that this is but since then every few months there is another. the attack just in the last 5 weeks france has been subjected to 3 separate terror attacks it started with a stopping outside the form offices of charlotte that followed the fact that the magazine reprinted controversial cartoons of the prophet mohammed angering muslims
10:08 am
across the world 2 weeks later we saw the beheading of history teacher. who had used those images as part of a civics lesson to discuss freedom of speech and now we have this attack here in nice there have of course the anger spilling out on the streets too not just in this protests we've seen over the last few days in muslim majority countries but in the song thursday night there was a demonstration held by the anti immigrant group. identity they came out to the streets calling for islam to be out of europe so there really is a huge sense of anger here on the ground to. further details have emerged about the suspect a 21 year old tunisian initially arrived on the italian island of lampedusa just over a month ago claiming to be a refugee and later has yet to comment on the case but the mayor of lead but has appealed for stricter migrant policy is the suspect was reportedly carrying a document issued by the italian red cross after being processed at
10:09 am
a refugee center on the italian authorities were reportedly going to expel him but lost track of his whereabouts the case is causing uproar in rome where calls are growing for the interior minister to step down or discuss the background to the tragic events in nice with a panel of experts when you see what goes on with the stream of speach. and the people that sharing our terrorist attack they're not doing it because of charlie a little doing it because of of what's going on there they use it serves as a useful way of giving what they're planning to do anyway legitimacy you know there are a lot of people who disagree with charlie are doing this on this thousands of what you would call is a list is a mystic stream ists. it's very few more to terrorists there's very few people who actually do the deal if he is charlie or do it was so offensive to so horrible
10:10 am
surely they could be thousands of people on the streets starving while another it's not it's a tiny tiny minority what is it about the tiny minority that distinguishes them from all the rest of that's why you have to look at this individual level when one starts it almost gives legitimacy to the others so the reason that france has raised its terrorism level is because it takes one and it's kind of like a rally around the flag now we're all going to go because it becomes rational you know when you think you will get legitimacy for it. 6000000 muslims living in france you have a certain percentage who are killed radicality in the last year and then spent a whole business branch has developed on the model as well that from seminars school security act. what france needs right now is so much more. cohesion or sort of reconciliation and more polarized and here i would
10:11 am
observe that things have been going more in the polarizing but again supported by the majority of the french the french government has told its embassies to tighten their security after a wave of protests by muslims in several countries. place and libya and israel as the islamic world celebrated the birthday of the prophet muhammad. demonstrators carrying banners denouncing the french president. for his crackdown on radical islam along the recent terrorist attacks earlier this month mccrone also outraged many muslims by saying their religion was in crisis in libya one local business has gone as far as to place images of the french president on his shop for for customers to stand on and there are calls from muslims across the world to boy conference. here. the company. says it's a little bit because of what happened to the holding the messenger of god prophet
10:12 am
muhammad under the pretext of democracy is not considered democracy and as for french honestly we want to tell you that your statements are offensive to every arab muslim and to the whole world we demand. growth and. that. is playing with fire and this. 'd we denounce from a friend in the prophet therefore we denounce and believe every people do anything from france that comes to us some love that anger against the french president has been seen here in moscow earlier on friday a crowd gathered outside the french embassy for a 2nd day in a row the protestors could be heard shouting god is the greatest in arabic police moved in to break up the rally and several people were detained misty has asked the russian government to ramp up security for french diplomatic staff. meanwhile the
10:13 am
french satirical magazine charlie has upped the ante with a cover featuring a cartoon of the turkish leader that's after president out of one lashed out at a manual over the french crackdown on the hard line islamists and slammed the publication as disgusting party's modesty of takes a closer look at the french government's policy towards muslims. something in france is broken and it is france nowhere else in europe is there this much terror killing and a complete breakdown and mutual respect and understanding these latest attacks there just that the latest. clearly it's inhumane it is highly reprehensible and i hope that justice will be so this attack and who deserves it i do have words as a matter of fact it's really shocking me. when i feel sorrow it makes me crazy so crazy it's impossible to see this i'm speechless i don't know what to say
10:14 am
a year ago and warned against stigmatizing muslims we're all one people he said since then something has changed now he's talking about islam of separatism shutting down dozens and dozens of muslim charities and organizations and has unveiled a plan to domesticate is lot. of our citizens of this islamic faith must be protected against the evil of radical islam i say it here because the will of the islamists of its ideologues is precisely to turn a part of our citizens against the republic using their religion and we cannot let that happen. macro involves forbidding french moms from training overseas restricting foreign funding for religious organizations giving the government control over religious subsidies and you loon you get money if you sign a contract saying you respect french values he even has
10:15 am
a name for this new french islam the islam of unlike him and although everyone is challenged about macros little cult and specifically he has cracked out on muslim charities and and geos if the government still goes on to divide us it will create separate groups in society and it is not the solution for muslim mosques and associations and i'm guilty maybe some people who come in but not everybody people have the right to practice their religion as they want so we can close a police who worship like that. i expect our government to calm the tensions down today we have to be careful of not developing and then to muslim hatred it makes no sense and it is dangerous yes i don't think that there is an optimal solution it would be utopian to think the opposite but dialogue is a better solution for me muslims are not guilty for the terror attacks the government is not responsible either so precisely both have to discuss the problem
10:16 am
find solutions and respect each other it is incredible how simple cartoons can cause this much bloodshed and hated misunderstanding one side sees these cartoons as nothing but an insult and a public city stunt which essentially they are intended only to insult and defend more than a 1000000000 people the other side including the french government sees it as an expression of free speech houllier than any god and free speech is a constitutional right of any french citizen. we will not give up caricaturists or drawing even if others retreat we started this freedom and look at caricaturists . not necessarily off mohamed but we look at caricature has to show freedom of expression frankly i think it's horrible what happened where hampering our freedom of expression the freedom to learn to know for 14 years charlie has reprinted these cartoons at regular intervals a magazine with
10:17 am
10:18 am
further aggregate muslims. needs a 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 in something 1100000000 muslims and their sanctities for the apparent crimes of such extremists is not unique to could be use of freedom of speech and only fuels extremism the recent statements that the leadership level is the dence of this a creation of the holy. 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 backgrounds tough talk has so far completely failed frauds as they are seen as an
10:19 am
enemy in the muslim world islamophobia boycotts protests and all that as with his little project his plan to essentially domesticate islam and france may be the most ambitious thing macron has undertaken. r.t. has asked social media giant twitter to explain why one of our reports on u.s. election fraud was labelled as potentially misleading earlier i discussed the story with my colleague mccarran. hine this decision by twitter well jacki as we know leading pretty much all the news cycles around the world right now is the upcoming us presidential election that's just days to go and reporters all over analyzing the process the polls and everything to do with this major political event and here at r.t. we've been doing pretty much the same but now for the 1st time one of our reporters been red flagged as a civic integrity label from twitter there is a warning if you like for readers that the reports might be disputed that the
10:20 am
details might be misleading on closer inspection which is failing to see what it is about this report that is wrong alarm bells for the guys at twitter and the reporter our correspondent basically highlights all of the concerns that have already been discussed about voter fraud ahead of the election challenges that the sea has already raised itself and we quoted that in the report take a listen overall office for democratic institutions and human rights needs assessment mission interlocutors 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 covert 19 pandemic and expressed concerns over their ability to overcome them now the r.t. news agency has subject to broadcasting standards which means that every report must be balanced and fair and this report kaleb our correspondent has it here to
10:21 am
those rules ensuring to use key words like allegedly and sharing to keep it analytical balanced and referencing all reports and official channels now what we like to do here at r.t. is we like to bring a range of reports together dig a little deeper try to salvage some accuracy and call out any hypocrisy is why our tug line here is questioned more but twitter did say earlier this month that it was going to be ramping up its use of these warning labels on tweets to help curb any misinformation ahead of the elections taken. you may not use to it is services for the purpose of manipulating or interfering in elections all of the civic processes this includes posting sharing content that may suppress participation will mislead people about when where or how to participate in the civic process we believe we have a responsibility to protect the integrity of twitter conversations from interference and manipulation now as part of this twitter has announced that disputed claims in the election process would be flagged or removed tweets that include any premise
10:22 am
your claims will be labeled as and used as what we directed to the official us election page and tweet saying that inciting interference in the election process and all the results such as calls for violent action may be removed and as we've seen recently it's not just r.t. that has raised red flags for the guys at twitter this comes just a week or so ago since twitter and facebook i decided to remove links to a story being run by the new york post regarding alleged e-mails on an old laptop of hunter biden now this is a story that was rubbished by his father joe biden and yet you know it could have cast a shadow over his chances in the race to the white house but twitter wasn't the only one to shun this story and after this twitter as well as other major internet companies have come under intense scrutiny and faced a grilling in the senate your position is that you can sit and hear time and. you can tell them what stories they can publish or you could tell the american people what reporting they can hear is that right. out.
10:23 am
to twitter agrees to its terms of service you're still blocked me their post right now you're blocking their posts now the senate hearing as you can see was pretty intense they saw the republicans and democrats interrogate the heads of twitter facebook and google and it really exposed this deep distrust in the power of silicon valley to police that web. now this isn't the 1st time that r.t. has received a twitter label those who follow us on the platform will know that our account has been branded as state affiliated media tell us about that you write here twitter has previously labeled artie's editor in chief margarita simonyan as russian language twitter account as russia's state affiliated media which struck many as a little bit unfair considering that other news groups that are also state finance such as the b.b.c. and n.p.r. were not given similar titles facebook has also labeled artie's account of state affiliated media again failing to do the same for other foreign state media such as
10:24 am
the voice of america or al-jazeera facebook's position back then is stated was to provide greater transparency into publishers that combine the influence of a media organization with the strategic backing of a state so i think the double standards are quite apparent there nonetheless whether it's stories being run by the new york post by r.t. or anybody else questions are increasingly being raised over how much power social media has a determining what people read or don't read and what they trust now we have requested comment from twitter we will bring it to you when we get it. for more on this when our brigand live gilbert doctorow independent political analyst do you think that twitter was justified in singling out this r.t. report i don't think it artesia protest too much because 'd 'd the behavior of. both social media.
10:25 am
and. against russian the russian is very convenient. as your report has mentioned twitter facebook the the social media has been under very strict scrutiny and i could say attack on capitol hill where it is in the interests of the management of twitter to show how loyal i felt patriotic they are and so to pander to the prejudices of the elites and of the. due diligence establishment that all those who could do them harm if they are perceived to be less than 100 percent patriotic to american standards russia is very convenient to. the point that you've made in your. in your report let's see the article in the.

future i did that twitter has as highlight of his flat is down instantly that's done so i watched it certainly comes at the same time i'd like to draw attention to what the b.b.c. did in their broadcast from this morning they provided a feature report on the stage in the state of texas by the reporter. who was describing with the assistance of witnesses local people. we're far these are suppressing the vote. since the texas is the 1st all states to have a white minority that's to say because of that but just because of the next in it that's a canary can it white. population is in a minority and those that white population is deemed. to be pro. therefore
10:27 am
the authorities 'd are consciously and aggressively suppressing the vote and making it very difficult steps involved this is highlighted the b.b.c. . goes much farther and is much more detail in what you are lucky what we're publishing in the in the fisher article which are report that's all that twitter that is as it will. well also the report which was flagged focuses on concerns which have already been raised in the public domain certainly many other organizations should also be censored by twitter it should censor the president 'd did not say they have occasionally but they could just put a. hand over his love because most of all the allegations of the both reading of the possibility of parole in may when votes have been set have
