i think we're part of a 1st for. a grim warning it to the people of france the interior minister tells the country to brace for more attacks after a knife rampages through. brutally murdering 3 people. fronts is a tool we are war with an enemy from within and from within us we're not at war with any religion. with islamist ideology. protests gripped the muslim world over the french president's defense of the right to parody religion and his previous remarks on islam as a. god prophet muhammad under the pretext of democracy is not considered democracy we. brought it. back.

but it. is playing with fire in this posting. and twitter set its sights on our t.v. flagging one of our u.s. election reports as potentially misleading right after the platform itself is accused of anti-conservative. our broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our 2 international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us right now france is a reeling from of the killing of 3 people in a nice basilica it is alleged the suspect only arrived in the city a few hours before the atrocity took place the french interior minister has warned that more islamic terror attacks are likely in the country. fronts as it warms we are at war with an enemy from within and from without we are not at war

with any religion we are at war with islamist ideology and you islam islam is a form of 21st century fascism. and the church attack happened 2 weeks after the beheading of a teacher in paris who had shown his students characters of the prophet mohammad here's how thursday's tragedy unfolded in the. but watching this new tragedy today you see victims of islamofascism child repeatedly denounced. resend it will be the job for the siren of the farm and the police arrive to

weaknesses really good with the 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 the attack that took place just 24 hours ago in the 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 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. 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. silver she was stabbed she managed to escape from the church to raise the alarm. as a result of heroic actions the police were informed and able to come in apprehend the perpetrator she succumbed to her injuries last words were apparently tell my family that i love them present back on has warned that france is 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 he knew some said think if we're 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 the 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 in those very many people who were killed in 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. 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 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 man just who want these people to be deported to their country all our coking security there is no safety 3 people are dead what do americans in the building of a mosque with the sums of b.g.

we are in a country that has witnessed atrocities teachers being beheaded having left throats slit people are beheaded in a church that's not france and even if we take in all possible security measures you've been able to come in with a knife on do is 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 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 show 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. 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 in the song thursday night there was a demonstration held by the anti immigrant group your 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 the tendency is to tighten their security after a wave of protests by muslims in several countries.

in libya one local business went as far as placing images of the french leader on its shop floor for customers to stand up and 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 in the senate today. the messenger of god 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. go back. and putting it. is playing with fire and this interesting that 'd we did nouns friends for a friend in the profit therefore we denounce and believe quote every people do anything from france that comes to us some of that anger against mr mcconnell has been seen here in moscow as well on friday a crowd gathered outside the french embassy for a 2nd day in a row the protestors could be heard shouting god is great in arabic the police moved in to break up the rally and several people were detained the embassy has asked the russian government to bolster security for french diplomatic staff. meanwhile the french satirical magazine charlie hebdo has up to the ante with a cover featuring a cartoon of the turkish leader after president aired

a one lashed out at emanuel macron over its crackdown on the islamism has slammed the publication as disgusting but i've got to fix up a story. 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 who deserves it i do have one 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 now i'm speechless and i don't know what to say about him 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 separatism shutting

down dozens and dozens of muslim charities and organizations and has unveiled a plan to domesticate is law. with that our citizens of the islamic faith must be protected against the evil of a radical islamic i say it here because the will of the islamists of its ideologues is precisely to the heart of our citizens of and 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 a name for this new french islam the islam of enlightenment or everyone is

about macros little cult and specifically his cracked out on muslim charities and n.g.o.s government still goes on to divide us he will create separate groups in society and. it's not the solution to the with an association it's an overview 3 maybe some people who come in but not everybody people have the right to breath is very diligent as they want so we come closer policing work if you work there to pass. government to calm the tensions down today we have to be careful not developing and then to muslim hatred you can instill 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's it's a stunt which essentially they are intended only to insult and offend 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 and no one else and we will not give up caricature this or drawing even if others retreat we started this freedom and look at caricaturist not necessarily of mohammad but we look at caricature has to show freedom of expression frankly i think it's horrible what happened because we're hampering our freedom of expression the freedom to learn and know for 14 years charlie abdu has reprinted these cartoons a regular intervals a magazine with a very modest circulation has now found a cash cow people's feelings and beliefs for which they themselves have paid a high price.

and. and. swore never to give up these caricature than turing's even if everyone else does only further angering muslims. needs a mental health treatment what else can be said to the head of state who does not

understand freedom of. hades 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 $1100000000.00 muslims and their sanctities for the apparent crimes of such extremists is an opportunity to could busa freedom of speech and only fuels extremism the recent statements that the leadership level is the dence of this a creation 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 backgrounds tough talk has so far completely failed francis to have seen as an enemy in the muslim world. and all that as for his little project his plan to essentially domesticated islam in france be the most add thing has

undertaken. still to come this hour twitter flags an r.t. report on the us election as potentially misled. thing for american voters more of that story right after a short break stay with us. even after russia gate was debunked as a hoax this conspiracy theory lives on in fact it appears to become sharp parcel of our political discourse if you will post someone or an idea all you have to do is play in russia no facts necessary slurs in fact which claims now suffice.

to show it's seemed wrong. when all roads just don't all. mean you won't get to stamp out these days to come out ahead and gain from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the alex 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. a powerful earthquake in the aegean sea has claimed the lives of at least 20 people in western turkey with more than 700 injured 2 people were also killed on

a greek island turkey's izmir province bore the brunt of the damage with at least 20 buildings destroyed a search operation is now ongoing with many people reportedly trapped under the ruins the greek island of some us has also been badly hit 2 teenagers there were killed by falling rubble while walking home from school the greek and turkish leaders have agreed to work together in handling the tragedy despite an ongoing territorial dispute between the 2 nations. on the poland now where around 100000 people have flooded the capital protest against a more extensive ban on abortions have been ongoing for more than a week with this the largest rally to hit warsaw in that time. the current standoff is over the potential outlawing of abortions in cases of severe fetal deformities legal grounds in poland could be restricted to when the

mother's health is in danger incest or rape the government has attempted to compromise suggesting terminations could be allowed for life threatening defects the national prosecutor earlier threatened criminal charges against those organizing the protest movement with the recent surge in covert 1000 cases in the country. social media giant twitter has flagged an r t report on u.s. election fraud as potentially misleading that label means users cannot comment on the post or share it has asked twitter to explain its actions but so far we've received no reply killam up and the correspondent at the center of the story comments on what happened. 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 that 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 our 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. earlier my colleagues jacqueline vogel and nicky aron discussed why twitter's actions against r.t. might raise concerns about a news agency has subject to broadcasting standards which means that every report must be balanced and fair and this report kaleb our correspondent has a hit to those rules ensuring to use key words like allegedly and sharing to keep it on a little balance 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 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 elections take a lesson you may not use to it is services with the purpose of manipulating or interfering in elections 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 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 cost a shot away his chances in the race to the white house but twitter wasn't the only one to shun this story while i will in. tensional a not linked to the new york post i want to be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by facebook's 3rd party fact checking partners in the meantime we are reducing its distribution on our platform 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 silicon valley and demand. that 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 every organization that stands up to twitter agrees to its terms of service and so when

you deny their platforms the answer shipped us press that we haven't censored the us president oh yes you're out 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 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 write here twitter has previously labeled artie's editor in chief margarita simonyan 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

the voice of america or al-jazeera facebook's position back then its stated goal is 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 hasn't it to mean what people read or don't read and what they trust now we have that requested comment from twitter to be will bring it to you and we get it and that discussion you just saw also has been flagged by twitter as potentially misleading content we heard from independent researcher piers robinson he believes social media giants are going way beyond their remit biggest concerns that i have about attempts to control the misinformation. is. no longer trusting you. actually use their own intelligence judgment.

you know so much so you. go down. don't censor don't try and go into this possible terror for deciding what is disinformation what is not but you actually are allowable classes without the serial requirements etc without wanting to make suitable the claim no criticism would be that each you twitter etc and facebook are seen and controlling information flow which really is going one direction which is actually politically biased the actual acts a lately is this is part of the bias itself. while such a dangerous road to go down i think more in general i mean it does the i think or why they can't concern amongst people which i think is probably increasing now no

information is being censored we seen it in so many different rounds on so many different issue areas and of course knowing the code 19 animal control the c.e.o.'s scientists being blocked from youtube and so on it is just creates an overall sense of distrust in me and tech giants as well. that does it for me this hour i'll be back at the top of next hour with another full of fresh look at your news this is march international and with. what a wonderful trip this is ben the big coin of the dollar 2011 credit tries to report we told you to buy it it was going to compete with gold to take over the world it was in fact perfect money and still that is the end goal for evermore be.

born in a while on the way up even down with the white house. in the swamp on how i don't think it's the fault of okolona the middle part of the. top that call $1800.00 my. moment of hope one of. sorrow big sorry 6 6 2.
