nation. i'm afraid. the basic. state protect. and save lives. of 7. sean connery. to get some unique insights into the life of his former scottish 1st minister alex. just a few moments into a new day here in moscow sunday november the 1st welcome to our international. we start with news from the french city of leone

a greek orthodox priest has been shot and injured side is church the gunman fled the scene and it remains unclear whether the suspect police have right now in custody is the person behind the attack live now to our correspondent in front charlotte dubin ski charlotte various reports they've been emerging be in the hours since this attack do we have any more clarity on what happened well that's right as you mentioned there a suspect is in custody but it's not been confirmed that this is definitely the perpetrator behind this attack which saw a 52 year old greek orthodox priest shot in the stomach now the priest who is attended to by medics at the scene was able to give a description of the perpetrator and he has been named the priest that is by the greek government is being nicolas akaka the lack of this now there is some suggestion that this may be

a small to speak to but i'll tell you about more about that in a minute let's 1st of all let's have a look at what i witness accounts saw and heard around the time that those shots rang out in the. i live in the area and i heard gunshots but if urged i thought it was from here for years but didn't take it seriously and then i saw the moderate lights the road blocks in the police and i realized that it was serious but there is a church here and the priest was 47 years old was shot while. i lived nearby i was watching t.v. at home and suddenly i heard something like hammer blows some big booming noises so i thought it might be kids playing outside i decided to figure out what was going on that i heard someone screaming when i went downstairs i saw the police and realized what was happening unfortunately this time it's in what's going to happen next that's what we are now asking ourselves. in the

aftermath of the shooting across is a unit was set up by the interior minister the french prime minister canceled a vent that he was heading to to come back to paris and we know an investigation has now been opened into what is being deemed an attempted assassination but what hasn't happened which would normally happen if there was any sense that this was a terror attack or terrorist related is the fact that this would normally be seized by the anti terror prosecution unit that hasn't happened in this case and french media are reporting that they are hearing from the ground that this shooting moved as a result of a personal dispute apparently the priest was soon to be leaving the community in the yawn to go to a new station and that's because there have been some disputes in the community

this is what's being reported by the french press but of course this comes at a highly sensitive time here in france with just a couple of days after a terror attack it was described by president machen as being in islam is terror attack that saw 3 people brutally murdered in the town of nice let's just have a reminder of what unfolded there. but in this new tragedy today you see victims of islamofascism child repeatedly denounced. return to. the siren of the farm and the police arrived weekly just really with

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 and take refuge in the cathedral afterwards i heard a lot of gunshots. well as a result of that brutal horrific attack that unfolded the niece on thursday france has raised its terror alert up to the maximum level the country now deploying $4000.00 extra security personnel to troy and bolster the security situation in the country this comes as france is about to celebrate all saints' day which is a major catholic holiday in the country the country's prime minister cast dix has said that you know all french people should be able to count on the nation to be

able to carry out their religious beliefs their services in full safety and we know that security is being deployed to bolster churches and schools off that there was a specific threat that came out from an agency linked to the terror network al qaida that came out just a couple of days ago but the reality is france has tens of thousands of churches tens of thousands of school so. no matter how many personnel are deployed you just can't have security personnel outside every building so a huge amount of tension here in france as this major festival is about to be celebrated given the fact that france is now back at a maximum terror alert an alert that was 1st raised up to that level back in 2015 when it saw that wave of horrific terrorist attacks shara thanks for taking us through all the larger correspondent in france charlotte dubin ski or we got insight into the tense situation right now in the country from local analysts and

commentators. the government doesn't know how to handle this situation this is nothing new there are 10 more 10 times more attacks against christian symbols in france than there are going to serve muslims for example not are there more attacks against persons but their kit attacks against chattels against purges are this is something which is not nearly catholics before tonight's incident we're already organizing and this is the 1st time i see this their own self-defense groups there are places there are obvious as i said before around you want another 1000 france where active duty christian statements are hell and the government just doesn't do anything and then all of a sudden we've got these birds and we've got these attacks if you know that pretty about in a communication is a catastrophe it is totally not there are there is i think that is the major issue as i think the muslim community those who are who of course don't agree with these with these killings these shootings these attacks have to voice their concern and they have to be more visible in the past 2 weeks france is not being under attack

of people who twist the the words and say that secularism in france is is fundamentalist an extreme and it is the way it's causing deaths this is the 1st time doubt a shotgun is do you use the 1st time that there was an ambush which i guess he targeted specifically that priest and not somebody else as opposed to random random people parishioners at the basilica and nice and especially because francis delegates and now is not the time to sort of mix everything together i will say and this is a horrible and sad thing to say that we can think in front that off a duck's churches would be targets that we felt that because catholic a system is the maze stream religion in france and we thought you know possibly a rolly and certainly really in this case that altered of churches would not be done to to but we keep making wrong assumptions about the virus of terrorism.

overshooting in leon comes 2 days after a knife attack in nice in which 3 people were slated a 3rd man has been arrested a french country of terrorism officers on suspicion of links to the perpetrator french prosecutors are trying to establish whether they suspected killer was in contact with extremist islamic groups his family in tunisia have come under scrutiny also they deny any involvement in the murder. sadly here to them i started crying when he told me that he travelled to france and i asked him about what drove him to go and he doesn't speak the language or even know anyone there so i 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 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 one heart and once and out 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 all of us and the main suspect in the attack has been identified as a 21 year old migrant he was not previously known to french intelligence we do know he arrived in europe last month. where he claimed to be a refugee however there 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 nothing cathedral it came just 2 weeks after the beheading of a teacher in paris who had shown his class caricatures of the prophet muhammad we

spoke with a priest who was inside the basilica in the swim the horror of their unfolded. 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 that a terror attack has been committed in the nurture number zillah close 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 and on the will i regret to say this but 1st and foremost i feel anger it is not very holy only the security forces issued a warning and 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 and what people don't know is that charlie hebdo has made more caricatures about christians and catholics than muslims the problem is not that these people are muslim the problem is that these people who commit these crimes are fanatics yet you think that is why it's so dramatically as you know you've all got it. and is about to enter a 2nd locked on the british prime minister boris johnson we have done and i spent some hours ago after a recent surge in covert only thing cases we've got to be humble in the face of nature and in this country alas as across much of europe the virus is spreading even faster than the reasonable worst case scenario of our scientific advisors and so now is the time to take action because there is no alternative than from thursday until the start of december you must stay at home you merely leave home

for specific reasons we're not going back to the full scale locked eyes of march and april the measures that i've outlined a let's prove it in less restrictive but i'm afraid from thursday. the basic message is. stay at home protect the l.h.s. and save lives. some details the new rules take effect on thursday on will last until the 2nd of december at least all non essential shops will close along with entertainment venues restaurants and pubs people will be required to work from home wherever possible however schools colleges and universities will be allowed to stay open travel within the country will be discouraged and overseas travel will be banned except for essential business trips since the start of the demick the u.k. has been hit with more than a 1000000 covered 1000 cases and over 46000 deaths that is the highest registered toll in europe and over the past week the u.k.'s daily infection rate has exceeded

20 thaws and that's run 4 or 5 times higher than cheering the 1st wave in spring localised restrictions had been rolled out in mid october with lockdowns in several regions but they were met with strong public resistance political commentator on for me where i believe the government should be investing much more to protect the public. even before all of us locked up in response to our how about the situation more. how much more one took to you we can and now are certainly are we going to become even more to it because we government can somehow afford to ignore the months following who which of the taxpayer will have to pay for the young people look at this from true how to pay for it in the future but what will they do that we're going to shoot so should why is it going to be true speakers that are being asked for contrary well where there's trouble it's full. of

whole foods disaster is wrong and government should be doing is the best so you know how is that beautiful to people who try to treat even any people have to pay for their prescriptions or to borrow expensive. or before the p.m.'s a nice man police chief had called on the public to inform anyone violating the anti pandemic rules that even threaten to break up christmas family gatherings of more than 6 people are in attendance and britons are getting ever more angry that's the holiday season nears here is sally in london as cove in case the 3rd 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 have threatened 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 the shouldn't be then police will have to intervene the idea of police dragging grandma away in handcuffs might seem

farfetched but some taking any chances and i'm 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 i will not accept eyes on constitutional and if i come pick at my door in that we get kicked back 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 what 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 flexible for one. because otherwise people just go cheap 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 public 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 of 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 montreux for presidency 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 the 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 a complete about vehicle parking in the front there i look up you know over 10 people in a crowd so now it's this is where you are the police officer you love the most you know the rules walk into my house 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. great his film star sean connery has passed away at the age of 90 and we've been hearing from a close friend of his stay with us for that story. when it comes to the most common physiological symptoms all fever dry cough and

fatigue but the psychological effects of this well known. with infections on the rise again and new lock downs looming how will the novel coronavirus affect our mental health could the home and last the pandemic itself. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person of. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.

poland where tens of thousands of people flooded the capital on friday night protests against the top court's ruling to ban almost all abortions have been ongoing for over a week but this was the largest rally yet seen in warsaw clashes broke out in the crowd was met by a nationalist country protest. of the constitutional tribunals decision to laws abortions on the grounds of fetal

defects which were the reason for 98 percent of terminations last year however abortions due to rape or incest 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 ignoring that demand. equal time to reach a compromise has passed women have seen their rights taken away and now they want them back and one more ranks i am devastated i am going to demonstrate as long as there is no new law or referendum the best solution would be early election. we are in the middle of the pandemic this shows how much emotion is involved that we feel this is the time to come out and force seriously. the us election is just 3 days away the national intelligence director has no sounded the alarm over alleged meddling in the past russia has been the main target of those claims but this year moscow is not alone that hawkins has the story. one of the key things you

need to know to understand how presidential elections work in the united states as swing states the nomination process the electoral college and since 2016 foreign meddling with a tally of tory 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 and the trumps republican administration russia's face 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 jitter 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 the 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 us sanctions crippling its economy and us missile as a source and i think it's 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 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 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 point to the democrats and while bloomberg said its 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. legend of the screen sean connery has passed away at the age of 90 the man widely described as the definitive bond and often as the world's greatest scott died peacefully in his sleep at his home in the bahamas the scottish actor rose to global stardom in israel as double 07 in the 1962 blockbuster. don't turn no doubt
