8:01 pm
the basic message is that this state. is safe. and legend of the screen and the star of 7 james bond film sean connery dies at the age of 93 get some unique insights into the scott's life from a friend of his former 1st. this is art international i'm certainly glad to have you with us we start with news from the french city of a greek orthodox priest has been shot and injured outside his church the gunman fled the scene however police now have a suspect in custody reports. a suspect is in custody but it's not been
8:02 pm
confirmed that this is definitely the perpetrator behind this attack which saw a 52 year old greek orthodox priest shot in the stomach you know 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 nicholas akaka. now there is some suggestion that this may be a small dispute but i'll tell you about more about that in a minute let's 1st of all let's have a look at what are you witnesses accounts saw and heard around the time that those shots rang out in the. morning i live in the area i heard gunshots but at 1st i thought it was firecrackers we didn't take it seriously and then i saw the motorbikes the roadblocks and the police and i realized that it was serious that there is a church here and the priest who is 47 years old was shot. while i was just i live
8:03 pm
nearby was watching t.v. at home and suddenly i heard something like how much some big booming noises so it was and might be kids playing outside i decided to figure out what was going on but then i heard someone screaming when they went downstairs i saw the police and realized what was happening but unfortunately this time it's. going to happen next that's what we're now asking. for in the aftermath of the shooting a crisis unit was set up by the interior minister the french prime minister canceled an event 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
8:04 pm
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 on to go to a new station and that's because they had 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 which just a couple of days after a terror attack that was described by president maclin as being in islam this terror attack that saw 3 people brutally murdered in the town of nice let's just have a reminder of what unfolded that. but
8:05 pm
this new tragedy today you see victims of islamic fascism repeatedly. returned. to the siren of the farm and the police arrived weekly some really good bikers everything that followed then they set up a security situation i went down with my scooter and i saw the guy come in take refuge at the cathedral afterwards i heard a lot of gunshots. well as a result of that brutal horrific attack that unfolded the nice on thursday france has raised its. up to the maximum level the country now deploying $4000.00 extra
8:06 pm
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 we know that security has been 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
8:07 pm
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. we got insight into the tense situation right now in france from local analysts and commentators the government doesn't know how to handle this situation this is nothing new there are 10 more times more attacks against christian symbols there are. for example not all of them are attacks against persons but there are acts against channelers going to churches that this is something which is not new police for tonight's incident we're already organizing and this is the 1st time i see this their own self-defense groups there are pieces there are others as i said before iran if you want to know that i was in france were. christian statements or head of the government just doesn't do anything. then obviously we've got to. be sure. don't worry about
8:08 pm
it 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 this 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 words and say that secularism in france is is fundamentalist and extreme and it is the well what's causing death this is the 1st time doubt a shotgun is to use it's 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 france that off a duck's churches would be targets that we felt that because catheter cism is the
8:09 pm
mainstream religion in france and we thought you know possibly a rolly and certainly really in this case that all the dots churches would not be done had to but we keep making wrong assumptions about the the virus of terrorism and the shooting in the early on comes 2 days after a knife attack in nice in which 3 people were killed if 3rd man has been arrested by french counterterrorism officers on suspicion of links to the perpetrator french prosecutors are trying to establish whether the suspected killer was in contact with extremist islamic groups his family in tunisia have also come under scrutiny they deny any involvement in the murders. hardly hear to them i started crying when he told me that he travelled from this and i asked him about how drove him to go as he doesn't speak the language of a 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
8:10 pm
day came when suddenly we were raided by the police and 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 committed 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 once and 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 where the main suspect in the attack has been identified as a 21 year old tunisian migrant he was not previously known to french intelligence he arrived in europe last month through italy where he claimed to be a refugee however there he was served an expulsion notice and then dropped off of the authorities radar and terror struck the southern french city in the early hours
8:11 pm
of thursday when a man wielding a knife attacked and killed 3 churchgoers of the not try to church it came just 2 weeks after the beheading of a teacher in paris who had shown him the beheading of a teacher in person who had shown his class caricature of the prophet muhammad we spoke with a priest who was inside the basilica in nice when the horror there unfold. 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 not one number zelig close down your church they say 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 will i regret to say this but 1st and foremost i feel anger it is not very holy of holies lakotah the security forces issued a warning and tuesday by the threat of terror attacks being heartless so we all
8:12 pm
knew about that before the attack but no checks have been made the intelligence services haven't done enough people have to die 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 a bill has made more caricatures about christians and catholics and 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 dramatically ms you know you've all got to. england is about to enter a 2nd lockdown the british prime minister boris johnson making a bad announcement on saturday evening after a recent surge uncovered 1000 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
8:13 pm
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 may only 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 to let's prove it even less restrictive but i'm afraid from thursday. the basic message is that the city stay at home protect the n.h.s. and save lives the new rules take effect on thursday and will last until the 2nd of december on non-essential shops will close along with entertainment venues restaurants and pubs people will be required to work from home where 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 pandemic the u.k. has been hit with more than
8:14 pm
a 1000000 kovan 1000 cases and over 46000 deaths that's the highest registered toll in europe and over the past week the u.k.'s daily infection rate has exceeded $20000.00 localised restrictions had been rolled out in mid october with lock downs in several regions but they were met with strong public resistance political commentator anthony weber believes the proposed cure may well be worse than the disease long term even before this lock down really explains how up out of the situation more amounted to one we've become and now are certainly are we going to be accommodated more to those with government can somehow afford to add on the months further which the taxpayer will have to pay for the young people of this film tree lots of money for the future. what will they do you are going to shoot a shoot one of the. crew speakers that are
8:15 pm
a bit off script on tree well where there's no trouble at school i don't see the whole foods disasters we're in government should be is the best only in the whole of the beautiful. tree even if any people are ready for their 1st person in search of our expense. and before the prime minister's announcement police chiefs had called on the public to inform on anyone violating the anti pandemic rules they had even threatened to break up christmas family gatherings if more than 6 people are in attendance and britons are getting even more angry as the holiday season nears you solly reports now from one. 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 rape family christmas that is if they feel people are breaking the rules the grinch himself would approve. if we think his
8:16 pm
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 are 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 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 the names it just loses a lot of that whole element in london
8:17 pm
a family immunity to visit against the regulation and its will to keep the covert numbers down then what choice do we have that what we see going to get clear guidance in what we are exactly allowed to do and not to do i think probably the government could be fixed before one. because otherwise people who just got 2 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 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 off of 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 montreux for presidency and homeowners will tell you it's refused entry they'll be able to
8:18 pm
obtain warrants false the through a new virtual system and intervene while the new york police work use of invading a private home when saw getting a jewish family during the crackdown on gatherings of more than 10 people but we have a complaint about a vehicle parked in the front there will come over 10 people in a crowd so now it's an issue where you are the police officer yes you love 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. scotland's greatest a film star sean connery has passed away at the age of 90 and we have been hearing from a close friend of his stay with us for that and more after a short break desire to international.

welcome back this is our t. international now the u.s. election is just days away and the national intelligence director has sounded the alarm over alleged russian russian meddling again but it's not just russia this time in the past that has been the main target of those claims but this year moscow is not a long daniel hawkins has more. 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
8:21 pm
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 jitter mizar electoral process fact next it's china because beijing is
8:22 pm
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 sees as unpredictable 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 samina straight force who is operating from the ran 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
8:23 pm
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 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
8:24 pm
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. rescuers in turkey are continuing to search for survivors from friday's earthquake which have so far claimed the life of about 39 people this is izmir province in the west of the country were numerous buildings collapsed injuring more than 800 people the shock waves impacted nearby greek islands as well including some us where 2 teenagers were. killed by falling rubble while walking home from school also. protests in rome have turned violent as demonstrations continue against a partial lockdown being weighed up in italy far right groups clashed with police
