urged the public to report the violations of new coronavirus rules and warned that they are ready to crack down on any offensive you know christmas to get reaction. if police force were to call and then try and break up the celebration and to get the names they just loses a lot of that whole element in london the family and you can see that if i come pick a moratorium that we're going to take back our it's a big story. we're watching our 2 international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 6 pm welcome to the program. a 3rd man has been arrested by french counterterrorism officers on suspicion of links to the perpetrator of the knife attack in nice on thursday a trustee left 3 dead french prosecutors are trying to establish whether the suspected killer was in contact with extremist islamic groups has family in tunisia

have also come under scrutiny however they deny any involvement in the murders. 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 or even though anyone there asked his brothers to call him and his phone was switched off and we tried to call him repeatedly with 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 demand an investigation 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 harm 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 what we know about him is that he is a more room well raised person and we do not believe that he has suspicious

connections and this is. the main suspect in the attack has been identified as a 21 year old tunisian migrant he was not previously known to french intelligence and he ride 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 notre silica came just 2 weeks after the beheading of a teacher in paris a future had shown his class caricature of the prophet muhammad is spoke with a priest who was inside the church and nice when the horror there unfolded. who was it i was in that church of the time of the attack it was almost 9 am i get a call from the police and was told the detector attack has been committed in the north when numbers are closed down your church they said a few minutes later they called again saying that 2 people had been killed and

fortunately later it was revealed that another person had died it all happened so quickly neither has it on the 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 that is why it's so dramatic. people go there to be done it muslims across the world have voiced their anger over president mccracken's remarks on islam and freedom of

expression as also defense of the right to mock religion demonstrations on friday sought muslims burning portraits of the president and calling for boycotts of french products are to charlotte devinsky it delves into how macross latest stance on radical islam has put him into a corner. 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 known. already many had suggested that this clampdown 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 ist 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 that 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 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. nice. we spoke with the executive vice president of the eurasia center on rest me isn't it all the smoke around should focus on finding

a new policy when it comes to the muslim community and friends think the move with the crack. basically step to show that he's taking some type of action. and i think it's more appealing to his political base since some of these actions 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 a move to to secure the country i think would be better a better direction. would be to not be so anti muslim in his in his actions i think this is this is a bad for the country and it's bad because it creates divisiveness and i think it's also bad for his future political perspective as well. to follow and now where tens of thousands of people flooded the capital on friday night protest against the top court's ruling banning almost all abortions have been

ongoing for over a week but this was the largest rally yet in warsaw clashes broke out when the crowd was met by a nationalist counter protest. the constitutional tribunals decision outlaws abortions on the grounds of fetal defects at was the reason for 98 percent of terminations last year after abortions due to rape incest or a threat to the mother's life are still legal the national prosecutor earlier threatened criminal charges against those organizing the protest movement citing risks posed by the pandemic but protesters are determined to make their voices

heard. it was 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 schools seriously. u.k. police chiefs have called on the public to inform on anyone of 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 this is them has been slammed as confusing and brits are getting ever more angry as the holiday season nears our correspondent lisa alley

reports from london. as covert cases around europe authorities are 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 raid family christmas dinners if they feel people are breaking the rules the grinch himself would approve if we think there's large groups of people gathering with he 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 of getting creative in finding loopholes one innovative britain says he's beaten the restrictions on private gatherings and it only cost him $6.00 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 i will not accept ice on constitutional and if i come kicking 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 their names it just loses a lot of that whole element in london the family i mean it's easy to visit kids deregulation and it's cool to keep the coded numbers down then choice do we have that what we see going to get clear guidance in what we are exactly allowed to do not to do i think probably the government could be flexible for 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 the rules are being followed. we are in the sea that could be worse than in spring the inviolability of the problem must no longer 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 course after the court of public opinion i didn't 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 will tell you it's refused entry they'll be able to obtain warrants fos the 3 new virtual system and intervene while in new york police work use of invading a private home when targeting a jewish family during a crackdown on gatherings of more than 10 people but we have a complaint about a vehicle parked in the front there looked up and over 10 people in the crowd so now it's an issue where you are the police officer yes you are the most you know the rules. 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. still have twitter flags and are to report at a time when the platforms being accused of censorship details on that story and more after this point. join me every thursday on the alec 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. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation and believe that you. you going the right way or are you being

led so. what is true. is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us on the debt. or a mate in the shallows. welcome back r t has fallen foul of the twitter center's sensors one of our latest reports on the us election has been effectively blocked for containing potentially misleading material we're now trying to establish what the offending information was but so far the social media giant has not responded to our requests for an explanation and

the video our correspondent looks at potential fraud in the upcoming vote including glitches at u.s. polling stations and the possible drawbacks of mail and voting during the pandemic that information was already widely available but having been flagged a report can no longer be commented on or shared this is despite politicians including donald trump warning about the voting process is far from watertight. 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 into look 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 new 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 this was stressed in the flag r.t. report meanwhile ours isn't the 1st media publication targeted by twitter recently at the new york post had one of its articles flagged the concern leaked emails allegedly found on the laptop of joe biden's son and exposing biden links to ukraine it was restricted by both twitter and facebook that has led to the senate grilling the c.e.o.'s of both networks twitter has recently expanded its election integrity policy post containing disputed claims or unverified information on the us election are to be flagged or removed tweets that could mislead people about voting results also fall under the restrictions earlier we put the company's content policy up for discussion. well 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 preempt 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 that has a whiff of controversy it comes across our t. is interpreted by twitter by facebook who are taking their lead from the cia from the f.b.i. from the n.s.a. who have publicly said that russia is interfering in the u.s. election the irony is that even the head of twitter is said twitters and people who have influence in the u.s. election so this has everything to do you heavily anti russian stance of the united states and nothing to do with the actual content. it'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 flop. 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 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 qualified to do that they have no inherent ability to ascertain what is dissent from ation what is misinformation or what is accurate information that they're just not equipped trained staffed to do this but they were assumed better or by doing this they were 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 posting 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 arrogance of these of these companies to believe that they are my guardian a are my jeep or they're not i'm going to american voter i go to wait. it will be used on the information that i gathered that i used and i don't need twitter this

year is a joint for me and it's deeply insulting to me and believe me to millions of other americans this is where twitter may ultimately pay the price. down some global news in brief starting with the deadly earthquake that's rocked the a-g. and seaside tremor on friday night claimed $25.00 lives in western turkey and injured more than $800.00 a search operation is ongoing with many people reportedly trapped under rubble 2 teenagers were also killed on a greek island where the shock waves were felt. a massive explosion has ripped through a hospital in central russia damaging a nearby residential building as well authorities say no one was hurt the blast was caused by a fire at a storage room housing oxygen tanks. and a legend of the screen has passed away sean connery who rose to fame in the role of

james bond has died at the age of 90 at his home in the bahamas a scottish actor starred in 7 bond movies launching a hollywood career spanning 5 decades scotland's 1st minister has responded to the news saying the nation is mourning one of its best love sons. with the u.s. election just around the corner at the u.s. national intelligence director is sounding the alarm over fresh meddling claims that while russia has found itself a frequent target of unfounded accusations it seems this year it might not be alone artist and hawkins story. one of the key things you need to know to understand how presidential elections work in the united states swing states the nomination process the electoral college and since 26 the foreign meddling tally atory measures against russia for its meddling in the us presidential election a pervasive campaign by russians to interfere in this year's midterm elections russia in the 2020 us presidential race despite much of the heavily redacted

evidence proving tenuous in establishing just how alleged meddling affected the 26000 election 4 years on its meddling saga 2.0 this time with multiple suspects potentially involved 1st and foremost is russia the classics and arya and it's deja vu for the democratic presidential nominee under trump's republican administration russia's faced the biggest different expulsions since the reagan era plus asset freezes as well as sanctions under the countering america's a diverse aris through sanctions act but biden and the democrats are confident moscow wants more of the same we know from before and i guarantee that i know now because now i get briefings again the russians are still engaged in trying to deal just to mizar electoral process fact next it's china because beijing is a economic and political adversary therefore must be up to no good except according

to intelligence officials they're rooting for the other team so i guess that makes it 11 we that china prefers that president trump. has and predictable there's not a real action lastly it's iran because it's a rogue state and with the u.s. sanctions crippling its economy and u.s. missiles assassinating its officials and clearly it must want some revenge on the cement a straight force who is operating from the around has continued to attack the personal accounts of people associated with drowned president complain. so this is the main threat to us elections coming from abroad apparently the problem is closer to home as more than half of election related this information about the 2020 vote this year has been of domestic origin as we've conducted our unfortunate actions over the past several years at facebook about how these operations we see using these deceptive tactics are domestic in nature we're seeing that trend increase as time

goes on yet both politicians and the media focus more on the other half hyping up theories about russian interference while young people on the conservative side of the u.s. political divide are trying to influence things their way apparently mimicking those very same russian interference tactics they're even using social media with facebook and twitter are forced to shut down accounts with allegedly misleading claims that's another one in favor of the republicans then there's the billionaires some of them like mike bloomberg alongside some celebrities have been paying off fines for felons to allow them to vote but only for joe biden so that's the winning points to the democrats and while bloomberg said his campaign is strictly in the name of democracy his advisors see things more through the paradigm of real polity mike wanted to get this done for 2 reasons one because it's the right thing to do for the democracy and 2 because it immediately activates tens of thousands of

voters who are predisposed to vote for joe biden the closer this vote approaches the more the question arises is there anyone who hasn't yet interfered in this election that's a breakdown of today's top headlines for now but if you're looking for more you know is head to our web site r.t. dot com thanks for tuning in this hour. welcome to financial survival guide. looking forward to your town. this is what happens to pensions in britain. you watch kaiser report.
