road. but again that. is playing with fire on the streets and posting. and twitter is setting its sights on our t.v. labeling certain reports from us on the us election attention misleading. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h q in moscow thanks for joining us for a live news update. we start in france which is reeling from yet another tragedy after a killing spree in a church in the southern city of nice the country's interior minister has warned the nation that it has to expect further atrocities. fronts as it warms we're at war with an enemy from within and from without and we are not at war with any religion we are war with islamist ideology you islam islam is

a form of 21st century fascism did you do the church knife rampage happened 2 weeks after the beheading of a teacher and parents who had shown his students caricature of the prophet muhammad here's how thursday's tragedy unfolded in the us. it was relieved but in this new tragedy today you see victims of islamofascism child repeatedly denounced. physical abuse and it will be the job for the siren of the firemen the police arrived quickly since really with the bikers and everything that followed then they

set up a security decision i went down with my scooter and i saw the guy come in and take refuge in the cathedral afterwards i heard 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 to go down the silica 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. 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 sext in the church he'd been here for 10 years and the 3rd person was 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 her 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 think 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 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 sharlie abdo and then later in the year in paris which saw the the battle plan attacked and very many people who were killed in those coordinated attacks by terrorists $4000.00 extra secure. personnel 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 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 bust the day celebrations a 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 will america didn't build another mosque and sometimes beach 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 all possible security measures we 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 $2815.00 which started this wave of terror in france we saw all those huge attacks in that this years but since then every few months there is. another 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 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 jennifer daskal identity they came out to the streets calling for islam to be out of europe so the really is a huge sense of anger here on the ground to. the french government has told its embassies to tighten their security after a wave of protests by muslims in several countries the latest rallies took place in libya and israel as the islamic world celebrated the birthday of the prophet

muhammad demonstrators carried banners denouncing the french president for his crackdown on radical islam recent terrorist attacks earlier this month marker and also outrage of many muslims by saying there were legitimate was in crisis in libya one local business has gone as far as placing images of the french president on his shop floor for customers to stand on and there are calls for muslims across the world to boycott france. as you see here. the county. council is a little bit because of what happened is that it is still doing the messenger of god prophet muhammad under the pretext of democracy is not considered democracy as for friends honestly we want to tell you that your statements are offensive to every arab muslim and to the whole world we demand the man. back the road. that. is playing with fire and this

c. we do know is from a friend in the prophet therefore we do know this and believe every people do anything from france that comes to us. some of 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 embassy has asked the russian government to ramp up security for french diplomatic staff. meanwhile the french satirical magazine charlie ups the ante with a cover featuring a cartoon of the turkish leader that's after president lashed out over the french crackdown on hard line islamists and slammed the publication as disgusting are just wrong gazi 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 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. macros platen 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 a name for this new french islam the islam of an lightman although everyone is challenged about macros little cult and specifically his 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. 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 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 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 in the public since the 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 who earlier 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 a very modest circulation has now found a cash cow to people's feelings and beliefs for which they themselves have paid a high price.

and. swore never to give up these caricature isn't even of everyone else does only further angry 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 cow. 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 macro lens tough talk. completely failed france is now seen as an enemy in the muslim world islam a book called tests of all that has been his little project his plan to essentially domesticated islam in france may it be the most ambitious thing macron has undertaken. r.t. it has asked social media giant twitter to explain why one of our reports on u.s. election fraud was labelled as potentially misleading now we can now bring and live

artist help mop in the correspondent at the center of the story caleb talk us through what happened while they're saying that somehow this report that i made is misleading but that's quite shocking to me because none of the claims in the report were original there was no none of our new information everything in it was simply citing something in the united states or around the world that been said for example you know the report starts out with citing some of the concerns of international organizations then from there we cited the concerns of u.s. president donald trump take a listen this election will be the most rigged election in history this is going to be a fraud like you've never seen we then showed some of the things that are being said on american media we cited what american media is saying about the upcoming elections on november 3rd. east texas official is

a jail accused of committing voter 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 loser and county that furthermore we didn't simply highlight the concerns of republicans and trump supporters we also highlighted the concerns of democrats take a listen to this clip from the report before congress and steet don't act immediately or country could face a new electoral tour noble this fall so who exactly or what exactly is misleading here we simply cited information that is widely being discussed in u.s. media we cited polls showing that europeans are not confident that the u.s. election is going to be as good as some might think it would be so exactly who is

doing the misleading here this is very strange on twitter as part of me point out the report the report was simply pointing out that if an election under the circumstances that happened in the united states was happening around the world u.s. leaders might express concerns about it and this shows a little bit of hypocrisy on the part of u.s. leaders that's what the report was saying so i'm not understanding twitter's concerns are to kill mop and think you for taking us through that. earlier i discussed the story with my colleague mccarran who shared more details. ok what's behind this decision by twitter well jacki as we know leading pretty much all the news cycles around the world right now is the upcoming u.s. presidential election this 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

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 due to new measures in response to covert 1000 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

those rules ensuring to use key words like allegedly and sharing to keep it analytical yet 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 it's hard line here is a question more but twitter did say early 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 election. take a listen you may not use to it is services with 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 your claims will be labeled as and used as what we directed to the official us election page and to tweet same to 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 on 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 yet 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 in your time and. you can tell them what stories they can publish and you can tell the american

people what reporting they can hear is that right. out. to its terms of service you're still blocked me to post right now you're blocking their posts now the senate hearing as you can see was pretty intense it's all 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 the 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're right yet twitter has previously labeled artie's editor in chief margarita simonyan as russian language twitter account russia's state affiliated media which struck many as a little bit unfair considering that other news groups that are also state finance which is the b.b.c. and n.p.r. were not given similar titles facebook has also labeled dieties account of state

affiliated media again failing to do the same for other foreign state media such is the voice of america. 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 that 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 in determining what people read or don't read and what they trust now we have requested comment from twitter and we will bring it to you when we get it and that discussion you just saw with nicky aaron has also been flagged by twitter as potentially misleading content we heard from journalist on gone too so social media giants have become too powerful. it's quite clear isn't it that twitter think they're like the lord chamberlain back in the u.k. in the sixty's where they can censor what you can watch see these new media

oligarchs of got much much too much power they're more powerful than archie they're more powerful than the b.b.c. they are simply way way way too powerful you need to allow both sides of the debate to get on there and have the discussion i want it comes to state sponsored media or whatever why don't they say that about the b.b.c. if the b.b.c. can see that there must be a sponsored outfit it just seems unfair that their tweets aren't labelled in the same way it's all rubbish and i don't think jack dorsey or twitter or facebook should have that kind of power if people are expressing a political opinion they should be allowed to do it. breakdown of today's top headlines for now but if you're looking for more you can always have to our website r.t. dot com thanks for tuning in this hour. is
