french anti-terrorism officers arrested a 3rd man suspected of links to the perpetrator of the knife attack in the us as the investigation there was then on the killer's ties to extremists groups and on his family they deny all involvement my son does not do such things he couldn't even hum a cheek and i want the truth we are enormously scholz good people we stand against terrorism protests while as muslims around the world rage against emanuel micron's defiance of the right to 3rd in the region and his previous remarks on islam. twitter is such that science on our t.v. blogging one of our u.s. election reports as potentially misleading i after the platform itself is accused

of bias. and police in the u.k. urged the public to report violations of new coronavirus rules and warn that they are ready to crack down on family gatherings larger than 6 on the christmas period to get reaction. in police schools what's called and try and break up the celebration and to get the names it just loses a lot of that whole element in london a family and you need to see it by complicate more during the week your trip back out into the story. you're watching are to international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 3 pm welcome to the program. a 3rd man has been arrested by french counterterrorism officers on suspicion of links to the perpetrator of the gruesome knife attack in nice on thursday the atrocity left 3 dead french prosecutors are trying to establish whether the suspected killer was in contact

with extremist islamic groups as family in tunisia have also come under scrutiny though they deny any involvement in the murders it live. how do you get them i started crying when he told me that he traveled to france and i asked him about what drove him to go and he doesn't speak the language even though anyone there asked his brothers to call him and his phone was switched off and we tried to call him repeatedly but his phone was switched off until the day came when suddenly we were raided by the police we were all taken for interrogation we do know what happened i lost my son and i lost my life and i demanded in this to geisha about who stands behind this incident and i want to know who recruited my son my son does not do such things he can't even home a chicken i want the truth. we are his cousins we are enormously shocked we are good people we stand against terrorism and we denounce what happened and

what we know about him is that he is a more room well racist person and we do not believe that he has suspicious connections and this is. the main suspect behind the attack has been identified as a 21 year old tunisian migrant he was not previously known to french intelligence and here arrived in europe last month via italy where he claimed to be a refugee however he was served an expulsion notice and then dropped off the authorities radar terror struck the southern french city in the early hours of thursday when a man wielding a knife attacked and killed 3 churchgoers at the nurtured on the silica came just 2 weeks after the beheading of a teacher in paris a teacher who had shown his class caricaturists of the prophet muhammad we spoke with a priest who was inside the church in nice and the horror unfold it. was that i was in that church of the time of the attack it was almost 90 yeah i get a call from the police and was told the deterrent attack has been committed in the not one number zilker close down your church they said

a few minutes later they called again saying that 2 people had been killed and fortunately later was revealed that another person had died it all happened so quickly. i regret to say this but 1st and foremost i feel anger it is not very holy only the security forces issued a warning in tuesday by the threat of terror attacks being high so we all knew about that before the attack but no checks have been make the intelligence services haven't done enough people have died that's why i am angry. i feel confused it's unfair because christians and their feet they have nothing to do with this what people don't know is that charlie hebdo has made more caricatures about christians and catholics the muslims the problem is not that these people are muslim the problem is that these people who commit these crimes are fanatics and that is why it's so dramatic. muslims across the world have protested president

micron's remarks on islam and freedom of expression as well says defense of the right to mock religious demonstrations on friday so muslims burning portraits of the president and calling for boycotts of french products are to charlotte devinsky except the start. the last few weeks have seen anger whipped up in a frenzy once again with france and its secular values sparring with islam the tide continues to rise following the brutal attacks that took place here inside this church in the center of nice where 3 people were stabbed to death the french interior minister has said that france is that. enemy from within and from without we are not at war with any religion we are with islamist ideology islam islam is a form of 21st century fascism 3 attacks in france in 5 weeks have

raised the temperature here but even before the college president corn had finally outlined his vision to stop the rot. we have to confront islamist separatism radical islam isn't least a rejection of the laws of the republic and that in time leads to a normalization of violence which is driven some of our citizens of our children. to consider the worst to be. already many had suggested that this clump time wasn't just about dealing with a long standing problem but it was politicking that's because president my 1st term in office is edging closer to the end now he entered the eliseo on a platform of being noida from the left nor from the right but he's been accused of adopting right wing policies including being tough for political islam missed in

a bid to shore up voters his detractors say that despite his efforts he fails to understand the enormity of the issue. is the war against islamist ideology really been implemented other measures announced by the government sufficient when we are attacked on our territory i'm sorry to see the answer is no. at the same time corn has angered many muslims who feel that the current crackdown punishes all muslims not just the radicals all while france is facing tough questions about migrants the last 3 attacks were carried out by migrants one anti migrant group identity has already held rallies calling for islam to be kicked out of europe. as the shock of

thursday's horrific attack sinks in sadness is turning to anger and the government is reacting once more with promises. i think in these troubled restless times with so much worry so much does a researcher much anger our political responsibilities to a peace to explain and to bring together my call to his being defiant saying france will not step down that it must be united in the face of islam is terror attacks but these words have been spoken before not just by president macron but by previous french presidents for many they may ring hollow when the terrorism threat has spiked again all while the nation mourns the latest victims. r.t. niece. we spoke with the executive vice president of the eurasia center at rest pearson

who told us mccrone should focus on finding a new policy when it comes to the muslim community and friends. think the move with the crack. basically steps to show that he's taking some type of action. and i think it's more appealing to his political beliefs than some of the action i don't think they're going to be effective and i think i think it's more a political move than it actually is the move to secure the country i think you'd be better a better direction. would be to not be so and time limited in a direction i think. the bad for the country and it. could be create divisiveness and i think it's also bad for a good future political perspective as well. social media giant twitter has flagged a recent report on the u.s. presidential election as potentially misleading that label means users cannot

comment on the post or share it in the report our correspondent looked at potential fraud in the upcoming vote including troubles at u.s. polling stations and the drawbacks of mail and voting during the pandemic r.t. has asked twitter to explain is actions this is will not work has recently expanded its election integrity policy post with disputed claims or unfair fight information on the election are to be labeled or removed tweets that could mislead people about those voting results also falls under the restrictions in all twitter isn't alone on worrying about the integrity of the upcoming vote international community us politicians and donald trump himself have all worn the 2020 election could be richt . this election will be the most rigged election in history this is going to be a fraud like you've never seen if congress and state don't act immediately our country could face an electoral tour noble this fall overall office for democratic

institutions and human rights needs assessment mission intellect it is 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 detainee measures in response to covert $900.00 pandemic and expressed concerns over their ability to overcome them. according to recent polls europeans also have low confidence in the freedom and fairness of the upcoming vote as a stress and flag and they are to report as well meanwhile ours isn't the 1st media publication targeted by twitter recently the new york post had one of its articles flagged concern at least e-mails allegedly found on the laptop of joe biden's son exposing biden's links to your crane it was restricted by both twitter and facebook and that has led to the senate grilling the c.e.o. of both networks earlier we put tech giants content policy up for discussion why i think twitter's motive is very simple their motive is to control what people see

what people think and what people believe i know that sounds dystopian but i think that's what we're seeing across the board with social media companies right now in tech companies their goal is not simply to create fairness that's not what they're trying to do they say they're trying to prove prevent election interference when in fact those tech companies are creating the most election interference right now that we've seen at least in a generation in terms of affecting how people would vote the information they see before they vote vote or should be able to make up their mind whether it's a new york post story whether it's an r.t. report people have the right to information and then make up their minds but tech companies and media companies have colluded together and what's really shocking here with intelligence companies to kind of create a perfect storm of we will decide what you see and what you hear when jack dorsey says well everyone who uses twitter signs up for terms of service they don't agree to have you decide whether or not people can think things about them and by the way every time one of those reports is labeled misleading untrue untruthful or

essentially a lie that's actually libel against the journalist who's publishing it in the 1st place any content that has there's a whiff of controversy it comes across or is interpreted by twitter by facebook who are taking their lead from the cia from the. b.-i from the n.s.a. who have publicly said that russia is interfering in the us election the irony is that even the head of twitter is said twitter's capable of influencing the us election so this has everything to do with the heavily anti russian stance of the us in the united states a and nothing to do with the actual content of the wheat that's been it's been since if you want to look for logic in twitter's decision making venue can compare it to somebody being chased by a gigantic flock of b.s. they aren't they have been running away from the idea that in 2016 they were

a charge by many in the mainstream media and on their own platform as being complicit in in a election result that they were not happy with and now they are kind of flying willy nilly and just making things as they go along in the hope that people will not be mad at them this time my wrong to say that twitter is effectively having to decide what's true and what's not and is it in any way a qualified to do that they have no inherent ability to ascertain what is dissent from ation what is misinformation what is accurate information that they're just not equipped trained staffed to do this but they presumed better rule by doing this they're exposing themselves as being nothing more than partisan platform not only is twitter facebook you tube incompetent to be able to fact check but they've actually hired people who are funded by special interests to do it for

them and that in and of itself is a huge problem the real power that lies in here is that most of the media lives on twitter despite the fact that most people in america and around the world don't go to this website almost every reporter an editor does so if you are able to wag the dog by post. something that is totally outlandish or at least abnormal and every single reporter is going to see it because they're obsessed with it then that's just going to be the reality of what our $360.00 coverage is this is been a capitulation of mainstream media and a declining ad market that they are chasing whatever heat they can the absolute shubra urgent of these of these companies to believe that they are my guardian or my jeep or they're not i'm going to american voter i go to way i see fit it won't based upon the information that i gather but i use says and i don't need twitter to

this year is a giant filter for me and it's deeply insulting to me and believe me to millions of other americans and this is where twitter may ultimately pay the price. to pull in our tens of thousands of people flooded the capital friday night protest against plans for a more extensive ban on abortions have been ongoing for over a week but this was the largest rally yet to hit warsaw clashes broke out when the latest administration was met by a nationalist counter protest. a

new court ruling could see abortions being banned in cases of severe fetal deformed deformities the procedure would only be legal and cases of incest rape and risk to the mother's health and national prosecutor earlier threaten criminal charges against those organizing the protest movement and the risks posed by the pandemic protesters are determined their voices be heard anyway. you know it's time to reach a compromise has passed women have seen their rights taken away and now they want them back one more writings i am devastated i'm going to demonstrate as long as there is no new law or referendum the best solution would be early elections. we are in the middle of a pandemic this shows how much emotion is involved that we feel this is the time to come out in force seriously. so the congress who want to celebrate christmas with more than 6 people could be in violation of new pandemic regulations explained that after the break.

what a wonderful trip this is ben big calling it a dollar 2011 breaker the kaiser report we told you to buy it was going to compete with gold to take over the world it was in fact perfect money and still there is the gold for evermore be. welcome back u.k. police chiefs have called on the public to inform on anyone violating the latest anti pandemic rules adding that they were ready to break up christmas family gatherings if they involved more than 6 people a week the u.k.'s daily infection rate has exceeded $20000.00 new restrictions were rolled out in the middle of october with partial regional lockdowns depending on the infection rates the system has been slammed as confusing and brits are getting ever more angry as the holiday season nears our correspondent ali reports from

london. cases around europe authorities looking for ways to stem the tide and some of the measures are pretty drastic here in the u.k. police in some areas of threats and to write family christmas that is if they feel people are breaking the rules the grinch himself would approve. if we think there's large groups of people gathering with the shouldn't be the police will have to intervene the idea of police dragging grandma away in handcuffs might seem farfetched but some taking any chances and getting creative in finding loopholes one innovative britain says he's beaten the restrictions on private gatherings and it only cost him 6 pounds by creating a company and listing family members a stuff some police chiefs to have other ideas and smashing your doors down while you watch the only fools and horses christmas special including informing on neighbors who were breaking the rules leading to fears of a so-called snitch culture being encouraged we also people in london for their thoughts on a possible christmas crackdown but i'm sure we're not the only nation with these

measures but the fact of the matter is is that i will not accept ice on constitutional and if i come picket my door in that we get kicked back out into the story if police force went to come and try and break up the celebration and to get the names it just loses a lot of that whole element in london a family immunity to visit against the regulation and its will to keep the covert numbers down then choice do we have that going to get clear guidance in what we are exactly allowed to do not to do i think probably the government could be fixed before one. because otherwise people just go to the months of being miserable person in germany to health authorities have been calling on security forces to go into people's homes to check whether rules are being followed. we are in the national emergency that could be worse than in spring the inviolability of the public must know not to be an argument for lack of control if troops abrasions in apartments and houses in danger public health and safety the authorities must be

able to intervene of course after the court of public opinion i did say on twitter lots of tried walking his comments back breaking up parties but also be on the canadian cops to do list in quebec officers are authorized to demand proof of residency and homeowners or tenants refuse entry they'll be able to obtain warrants foster through new virtual system and intervene while in new york police work use of invading a private home when targeting a jewish family during the crackdown on gatherings of more than 10 people but we have the fleet of vehicles parking in the front there looked up you know over 10 people in a crowd so now it's an issue where you are the police officer who lost you know it was you got to tell me that it's ok and beyond the immediate concerns of violated privacy invaded homes and lost civil liberties there's always the question of what happens when this is all over once your freedoms have been surrendered it's not always easy to get them back. a russian citizen has been forcibly

expelled from lothair after living there for decades on american or even an afghan war veteran with disabilities was told only that his residency permit had been canceled he told us how suddenly it all happened. to me you know they just wanted to throw me out without anything without money within your jackets with trousers covered in blood after surgery my wife's eldest son met me at the border. the veterans' expulsion has been strongly condemned by the russian foreign ministry as accused russia phobia and abrupt repressing the views of the russian speaking diaspora in lafayette also says the deportation violated humanitarian law here's what we know about lot of north and.

a lot of room for in a ministry insist the deportation took place in accordance with the law and didn't violate any agreements between lafayette and russia including one which ensures protection for retired military personnel american or even explain to us how latina thora these towards veterans out like himself have changed over the years and talk us through his deportation ordeal. even if you there is nothing that states what i'm guilty of the day after i was told my residency was being cancelled border guards came to deport me it was all very sudden i asked them for some time to get ready i told them i was a war veteran with disability and that i'd be mature novel they eventually met me halfway when i was taken to the police station i was held there for 5 hours they

took my fingerprints i signed a lot of papers am i a criminal have i done something wrong no one gave me an answer and the chiefs were constantly calling saying get the matter soon as possible they worked me up into such a state that i had a heart attack they called an ambulance and took me away the doctors were fighting for my life for 3 hours after i came round i was put into a car and driven to the border which took about 4 hours. i thought i wouldn't make it i asked him to stop they did but just once for 3 minutes so that i could breathe some fresh air what do you call that what kind of government is that. you say you spent 45 years in what how did life change that after the collapse of the soviet union. what you know is that before 991 for many years i had enjoyed communicating with latvian people upset with the authorities even because we always found common ground we used to hold common events but after 1901 we ended up in the middle of

nowhere. rallies started to spring up we saw young people with new values new policies politicians who were calling for freedom for withdraw from the soviet union they promised us paradise a life independent of the west many believe that we the soldiers decided to stay in the country because our parents are buried here furthermore our families some of which included latvian wives and husbands coming from russia ukraine belarus and so one all lived there so we did not see any point in leaving we stayed where we served we settled there with our families. also there was this agreement which protected us veterans are in short a peaceful life there but it did not work out because there was a transition of power and we the veterans saw a change in the way we were treated. the international space station is celebrating an anniversary that's been hosting the only permanent human presence beyond earth for 2 decades now our correspondent reaffirm notion that caught up

with a former i assess occupant. 20 years ago the 1st person entered the international space station. and today here with me is that very person. can you remember the 1st 2nd when you entered the i assess. and then you start to install communication of the ground you're like hotel owners i don't know preparing rooms for 1st gas problem or way. to assemble some systems together we need to install new equipment was there any surprise waiting for you up there when we came there was no table to go the biggest problem was not only to design this table

and build it but build it in such with use only material. and actually make a minimum cutting drilling of the metal like sleeping sides ready for you there or you had to organize it install them overnight and we can get in then you can see how it looks you can use the sleeping books everywhere on the ceiling on the wall and when they came to the station 2 crew members were sleeping here living on working in close quarters together with other people and mabel to leave exams so familiar right for every human being on earth with all these chronic virus lockdowns did your space experience help you survive all this madness i think the majority of people have a problem with being locked in a compartment because they didn't have anything to do we had more than enough things to do here and never was bored do myspace what do you miss exactly view from
