fighting for his life or priest is shot outside unorthodox church in the french city of joy so far have not confirmed that the suspect they have in custody is responsible comes just 2 days after a terrorist brutally murdered 3 people at a basilica in east that investigation is now zeroing in on the killer's ties to extremist groups and on his family deny any involvement. my son does not do such things come to even home the cheek and i want the truth we are enormously show. to stand against terrorism and. the british prime minister says there is no alternative as he announces england will go back into a nationwide lockdown after a surgeon called 900 cases i'm afraid. the basic

message is the. state protect the n.h.s. and save lives. and legend of the screen and star 1 of 7 james bond films sean connery dies at the age of 90 to get some unique insights into the scott's life from a friend of his former scottish 1st minister alex salmond. a broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our 2 international thomas certainly glad to have you with us and we start with the 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 dubinsky reports. a suspect is in custody but it's. 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 akaka the lack of us now there is some suggestion that this may be a signal to speed 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 witnessed his 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 road blocks and the police and i realized that it was serious there was a church here and the priest who is 47 years old was shot. i live nearby

i was watching t.v. at home and suddenly i heard something like how my blues some big booming noises so it was and 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 what's going to happen next that's what we are now asking ourselves 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 the fact that this would moony 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 leon to go to a new station and that's because there had been some dispute 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 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

this new tragedy today you see victims of islamofascism repeatedly denounced. there's a return to. the siren of the firemen the police arrived weeklies really good with bikers and everything that followed then they set up a security issues and i went down with my scooter and i saw the guy come in take refuge at the drop afterwords i heard a lot of gunshots. well as a result of that brutal that 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 try 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 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 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 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 churches or this is something which is not new a catholic so before tonight's incident we're already organizing and this is the 1st time i see this their own self-defense groups there are cases there are areas as i said before iran 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 the field of death or any advantage of communication is a catastrophe it is totally not there are there is i think that 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 an extreme and it is the way it's causing deaths this is the 1st time doubt a shotgun is do you 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 front that off a duck's churches would be targets that we felt that because catheter cism is the main 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. now the shooting in the on comes 2 days after a knife attack in nice in which 3 people were killed 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 islam lawmaker groups his family in tunisia have also come under scrutiny they deny any involvement in the murders. of the mass transit crying when he told me that he traveled from the sick and i asked him about i am drove him to go and he doesn't speak the language oh no anyone there 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 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 did 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 101 so now 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 i mean 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 noticed and then dropped off your thirty's radar. terrorist truck the southern french city in the early hours of thursday when a man wielding a knife attacked and killed 3 churchgoers at the notre dame church came just 2

weeks after the beheading of a teacher in paris who had shown his class caricature of the prophet muhammad we spoke with a priest who was inside the basilica in needs when the horror unfold was that i was in that church of the time of the attack it was almost 90 m. i get a call from the police and was told that the terror attack has been committed in the know to a number 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 medicals are on the i regret to say this but 1st and foremost i feel anger it is not very holy over liquid at the security forces issued a warning and tuesday by the threat of terror attacks being heartless so we all knew about that before the attack but no checks have been make the intelligence services haven't done enough people have to die that's why i am angry. i feel

confused it's in fear because christians and their feet they have nothing to do with this what people don't know is that charlie a bill 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 actually that is why it's so dramatically miserable. england is about to enter a 2nd lockdown the british prime minister boris johnson making the announcement on saturday evening after a recent surge we covered 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 so now is the time to take action because there is no alternative route from thursday into the store to december you must stay at home you may only leave home

for specific reasons we're not going back to the fool's gold locked arms of march and april the measures that i've outlined a list prove it in less restrictive but i'm afraid from thursday the basic message is the same 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 all 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 and since the start of the pandemic the u.k. has been hit with more than a 1000000 covered 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 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 locked up in response to our how about the situation more at home how much more into it we view we we can and now are certainly are we going to be compensated more because we government can somehow afford to own the moment so who which of the taxpayer will have to pay for the young people of this country without a penny for the future. what will they do you are going to shoot shoot why is it going to be critics because there are big aspart country where there's trouble it's full i don't see the 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. before the prime minister's announcement police chief had called on the public to inform on anyone violating the anti pandemic rules they had even threatened to break up christmas family gatherings more than 6 people are in attendance and britons are getting ever more angry as the holiday season nears its alley reports now from london as covert 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 of staff 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 asked 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 a fact of the matter is that i will not accept eyes on constitutional and if i come picket my door in that we get kicked back into the story if police force were to come in 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 kids deregulation 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 and not to do i think probably the government could be flexible for one. because otherwise people just go to 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 it'll be an argument for lack of controls if true sort of regimes in apartments and houses in danger public health and safety your thirty's must be able to intervene of course after the court of public opinion had its 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 if homeowners or tenants refuse entry they'll be. it's of 10 warrants false the through a new virtual system and intervene while in 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 market in the front they're looking over 10 people in a crowd so what now it's an issue where you are the police officer yes you almost 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 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 story much more break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic development the only move. i don't see how will be very critical. to sit down.

international and the us election is just days away and the national intelligence director has now 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 on tuesday 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 2016 foreign meddling with a tally of tory measures against russia for its meddling in the us presidential election they said 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 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 $11.00 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 astray ssion force who is operating from the rand 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 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. who is in turkey are continuing to search for survivors from
