at war with an enemy from within and from without we are not at war with any religion we are wall with islamist ideology islam islam is a form of 21st century fascism. while thursday's church knife rampage happened 2 weeks after the beheading of a teacher in paris who had shown his students karaka church of the prophet muhammad here the tragedy unfolding in the next. no but watching this new tragedy today you see victims of islamofascism child repeatedly denounced.

as a good return to be dissolved after the siren of the farm and the police arrived quickly just really quick bikers and everything that followed then they set up a security system i went down with my scooter and i saw the guy come in take refuge in the cathedral afterwards i heard a lot of gunshots. the anti terror prosecutors said on thursday evening that 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 priscilla behind me not to 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 air france one was a 60 year old woman who had gone to the church for 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 this of all saw look as a father of 3 who also worked as a sexton at the church he'd been here for 10 years and the 3rd person was a woman who said to be around 44 she's been named in the brazilian press as being simone. seaver 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 an 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 from their referencing operation 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 those coordinated attacks by terrorists $4000.00 extra security personnel now deployed

across france 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 by. 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 and nieces 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 their throats slit people are beheaded in a church that's not france and even if we take in all possible security measures we've 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 with that should have been sanctity they should have been safety instead they met there and now people have been coming to the church in lame tributes 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 and that this is 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 patti 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 be anger spilling out on the streets here too not just in this protests we've seen over the last few days in muslim majority countries but here 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. the french government meanwhile has

told its embassies that tighten their security after a wave of protests by muslims in several countries. indeed in libya one local business went as far as placing images of the french leader on his shop floor for a customers to stand appalled there are calls from muslims across the world to boycott french goods. as you see here. the company.

it's a little bit angry because of what happened after that is that. the mass injure of god the prophet muhammad under the pretext of democracy is not considered democracy and for france honestly we want to tell you that your statements are offensive to every arab muslim and to the whole world that we demand the man. back to go and try to get at. is playing with fire and this case is interesting to see that we denounce frons for offending the prophet therefore we denounce and bully quote every people do anything from france that comes to us. against mr mccrone has been seen here in moscow earlier on friday he cried gathered outside the french embassy for a 2nd day in a row the protestors could be heard shouting gold is great to stay in or a back police moved in to break up the rally and several people were detained the

embassy has asked the russian government to ramp up security for french diplomatic staff. and all the french to turn. magazine charlie hebdo was up the ante with a cover featuring a cartoon of the turkish leader after president last start to cry over his crackdown on hard line islamists slammed the publication of the scots thing our senior correspondent picks up the story something in france is broken and it is france nowhere else in europe is that this much terror killing and a complete breakdown and mutual respect and understanding these latest attacks there just that the latest now. clearly it's inhumane it is highly reprehensible and i hope that justice will be so this attack who deserves it i do have words as a matter of fact it's really shocking. 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 the 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 or everyone is about macros little cult and specifically his cracked out on muslim charities and then 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 place of 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 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 a very modest circulation has now found a cash cow for 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 angering 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

backgrounds tough talk. completely failed france is now seen as an enemy in the muslim world this time a book called sproat that's all that has been his little project his plan to essentially domesticate islam in france may it be the most ambitious thing has undertaken. now a powerful earthquake has claimed the lives of at least 12 people in western turkey and another 2 on a nearby greek island the quake struck earlier on friday in the aegean sea turkey's izmir province bore the brunt of but without at least 20 buildings destroyed hundreds injured and massive search operation is now ongoing with many people reportedly trapped on the rubble the greek island of some also suffered severe damage the greek and turkish leaders have agreed to work together in handling the tragedy despite an ongoing territorial dispute between the 2 nations.

to come this hour twitter fly examine r.t. reports on the u.s. election as quote potentially misleading for american voters we've got more another story after the break. computer communications work better than human communication 30 does a lot of things better than we do so the possibility not just being restricted with the brains we go with the fine art known group growing inside but even today even just combining true human brains to go. similarly has a lot of the advantages. seem

wrong. to me. to shape out just to. educate and engage with. the trail. once on find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. hello i can r.t. has our social media giant twitter to explain by one of our reports on us election of ford was labeled as potentially misleading killer who is the correspondent at the center of the story explaining to me earlier what up. it's very interesting

that this report has been labeled misleading by twitter and regards to a civic matter because if you look at it none of the material is original to ourselves right i mean the report that i put together i simply drew from what's being said by international bodies as well as what was said by u.s. president donald trump this is what we included in the report this election will be the most rigged election in history this is going to be a fraud like you've never seen now we also included highlights of what u.s. media itself u.s. mainstream media outlets have been saying take a listen to that 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. in the pennsylvania state police are investigating fraud in mail in ballots in

loser and county we also made a very important point of being balanced we did not only highlight the claims of republicans and trump supporters we also highlighted the concerns of democrats about voting irregularities and about polling places voter suppression etc take a listen to what we included from democrats who are also expressing concerns if congress and steet don't act immediately or a country could face a new electoral tour noble this fall you know when twitter says that this report is possibly misleading about a civic matter that would make you think that we were giving people incorrect information about how to vote or something like that we did nothing of the kind take a look at the report it was simply pointing out the situation in the united states where there is widespread you know anticipation of this election widespread fear according to polls that there could be violence in the streets and rioting after the elections and you know and the fact that if such an election were taking place in another country there would be statements from. u.s.

officials expressing concern and that there would be there would be talk you know that somehow such an election may not be taken seriously and there would be you know criticism of that electoral process if it was in another country we showed hypocrisy on the part of u.s. leaders in the up plus up lead in the leading to this election coming up in the united states so i'm looking for anything in the report that they say is misleading there was nothing in the report that was misleading we quoted other sources we showed what is the reality on the ground in the united states is which is that people are very nervous before this upcoming vote on november 3rd under my colleagues. here and discuss why twitter's actions against or to raise concerns. the 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'd 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 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 take a listen you may not used 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 premature claims would 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 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 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. that you could. but you can tell them what stories they can publish or american people what report like and here is that. our. organization.

greased through terms of service you're still glad. you're blocking them now this senate hearing as you can see was pretty intense you 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 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 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 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 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 hasn't it turning what people read or don't read and what they trust now we have that requested comment from twitter that we will bring it to you when we get it. and in fact that the scotian you just saw has also been flagged by twitter as potentially misleading content or to discuss this blood to welcome all into the program bruce marks a former republican member of the pennsylvania state senate you're very welcome do you think just 1st of all on this channel the action by twitter has anything to do with the content of the reports or is it just the college r.t. as an organization i think is absolutely about the content of the

report twitter has been. censoring republicans conservatives twitter has been censoring. publications like the new york post either favorably reported on donald trump or criticized joe biden in my opinion it's absolutely censorship but it's censorship on steroids because obviously russia r.t. is connected with russia as you mentioned republican senators have been accusing twitter other platforms of conservative bias if that is true much of an impact do you think it could actually help in the election just days away of course. well on the one here i don't i think it's unfortunate because it restricts the information that americans should have on the other hand the number media outlets the new york post obviously as it was prohibited from using twitter fox news has

done a terrific job of exposing this and i hope our team does so as well and that sense i think that there are also people who support donald trump because they don't want to see this censorship this cancel culture so in that fashion in a way the worse the better what's your thoughts do you think that by telling readers what to believe when it comes to the u.s. elections twitter is itself an gaged in a form all the interference. i think censorship is interference listen i lived in the in moscow during the soviet days i know what censorship is about up in twitter is censorship with a belt club a lot of it is keeping people from the information so that they can make decisions themselves and i saw your your colleagues video i mean most of it consisted of simply reports from other media i can't imagine how

it would be misleading simply to report either with democrats or republicans have said publicly it's an issue of infantilizing usurers some watts here bruce another tech firm spotify has been criticized for showing conspiracy theorist alex jones on the joe rogan show is there any good reason to bond such people however a controversial their views may be. no i don't think that there is a me then if you start banning people for your views other than for example inciting violence that we shouldn't but if you know this somebody wrote a book on this it's called animal farm and it was by george orwell i don't think that you should be censoring content we have an intelligent electorate in america we have a telephone there's a telegin a lecturer in russia give the people the information have our t.v. frankly just not reproduce what other people have sent but whatever it is whatever

position the r.p.s. and then let the elector may make a decision is there a danger to think that over use of of such fact checking the able to undermines the entire purpose doing exactly the opposite of what they're meant to to because readers could simply start ignoring well i don't really frankly think they should be used at all i don't think it's the job of facebook which is simply a portal by which people provide information to other people i don't think it should be in the business a faction led its its users do the fact he can let its users decide what is true or false so that's where that's where i begin and frankly end the announce and you've been very good to your time thanks for coming and sharing your thoughts here on the program we've been speaking to produce marks former republican state senator in pennsylvania thank you women where for donald trump and 26 team during the campaign i'm not as well thank you sir. we're back at watching the hawks.
