possibility on our soil to believe freely and not to give in to any mind of terror i say with great clarity once again today we will not give in 4000 extra security personnel now deployed across france particularly at sites like this church and also at schools and one of the reasons that religious sites are getting the priority when it comes to security is because there was a release earlier this week from a thought but which is a press agency linked to the terror network al qaeda which suggested that christian symbols should be attacked people here disbelief shocker. once again this could hit the heart of the city but there is also anger too so you don't want the french demand justice we want these people to be deported to their country ok insecurely there is no safety 3 people are dead what will our marriage do build another mosque where people have been coming to the church in the lane true since that attack took

a shoot some guilty maybe some people who come in but not everybody people who have the right to practice their religion is they want our government to calm the tensions down today we have to be careful of not developing and then to muslim hatred it makes no sense and it is dangerous it is incredible how simple cartoons can cause this much bloodshed and hated misunderstanding one side sees these. nothing but an insult and a public stunt which is. intended only to insult and offend more than a 1000000000 people the other side including the french government sees it as an expression of free speech. than any god and free speech is a constitutional right of any french citizen for 14 years charlie has reprinted these cartoons at regular intervals a magazine with a very modest circulation has now found

2:16 am
was and how much more and. we can and are certainly are we going to be accommodated more because we government can somehow afford to ignore the months flow through which the taxpayer will have to pay for the young people of this from true how to pay for in the future. what will they do the jobs are going to shoot why is it going to be crew speakers that are being asked for chantry well where there's no trouble at all. but the whole through these disasters we're in government should be doing is the best certainly in the whole of the beautiful droopy metron tree even if only people are going to be for their prescriptions or it's a very expensive. you're watching all the international still to come this hour as russia becomes one of the 1st countries to apply to the world health organization
2:17 am
for an emergency license for its vaccines but new details after this but. when it comes to the most common physiological symptoms are fever dry cough and fatigue but the psychological effects of this well known. with infections on the rise again and new locked looming how will the novel coronavirus affect our mental health could last the pandemic itself. the world is driven by shaped by one person.

thinks. we dare to ask. welcome back russia's covert 9000 jobs sputnik v. has been distributed to the 1st group of volunteers a more than 60 the head of the trial said none of the participants showed any serious side effects after getting the initial dose. meanwhile this week russia was among the 1st countries to apply to the show for an emergency license for the
2:19 am
vaccine but movie was developed by the gamma institute in moscow events they used to read trials of the vaccine with $55000.00 volunteers are underway if russia does get d.h. approval it will speed up availability of the shot globally and despite skepticism about the vaccine in the west including claims that corners were cut to rush it into production moscow says that it does have confidence in the drug war this comes as russia sees a spike in 1000 factions with more than 18000 new cases registered in the last 24 hours and the total number of cases in the country exceeding $1600000.00 remains the country itself among the worst hit in the world together with the u.s. india and brazil. with covert tightening its grip both in russia and globally artie's 3rd from a leading evolutionary biologist who's going to extensive studies into the virus he explains how it mutates and how breaks can be dealt with you can watch the full interview on our website is a preview. i think it's
2:20 am
a blessing the coronaviruses evolve more slowly than other r.n.a. viruses but still it's a very quick process the virus mutates every 2 weeks but in one specific lineage what is a specific lineage well thus infects mush mush infects pits in pits infix tanya in such a lineage the virus mutates once but at the same time a similar process is taking place across the globe since different viruses acquire different mutations in total we see tens of thousands of mutations but we can already see approximately 20000 mutations. that is $20000.00 versions of the same corona virus that is believed to have her originated and. we now see that the common ancestor was around in december or january the genomes of all the coronaviruses we are sequencing and studying right now show that they
2:21 am
are all descended from one common ancestor which existed back then so it seems to me very unlikely that the virus infected a person before that time. so. there is a widespread belief that the virus does not exist in order to kill the owner but in order to somehow perfectly adapt to it and live quietly inside them. actually this is not what the virus cares about most we know a huge number of examples one of our success didn't put place names for many many is many centuries and did not weaken smallpox for example on measles which is fatal in a large proportion of cases if there is no treatment but generally it often happens that the mortality rate does not change at all. so there is no guarantee that covert 19 will somehow become less dangerous. in the near
2:22 am
future there are no guarantees of that. now just days to go into the us elections polls show that americans are losing trust in government institutions and regard the country's response to the pandemic as a national failure killer morven digs deeper into american discontent. whether it's donald trump or joe biden who's sworn in on january 21st next year the pillars of u.s. society will not stop shaking just for that covert 19 may be ravaging the united states but americans think that their government and its institutions could be just as dangerous to the country in an earlier poll when asked to name the greatest disappointments the u.s. congress and the us president came up top that might be because on capitol hill they seem to spend more time in name calling than actually getting things done is following the radical left agenda no religion no anything hurt the bible
2:23 am
heard god. prisoners who have in modern history joe biden is the puppet of left wing extremists trying to erase our borders eliminate our police we have racists and they've existed then tried to get elected president the 1st one that has this fits into a greater pattern of distrust and the failure of essential institutions in us society whether they favor conservative or liberal policies when it comes to health care americans agree that the centers for disease control and other government institutions designed to protect public health have completely failed the country in the face of coded 19 centers for disease control and r.u. . department of homeland security this job easy to track global pandemic you know what they do they fail you from their chaotic early response to underestimating the danger to the lack of testing kits and accusations
2:24 am
of becoming a political tool the centers for disease control are being hit from all sides other essential institutions of us society are affected by a deep crisis for example law enforcement. are our. recent protests sparked by the killing of jews. orange floyd as well as a long history of police brutality have many americans asking whether or not they're really safe and protected public trust in the police as an institution has been in decline intelligence agencies are yet another example they are expected to gather information and then provide it to the military but lately they seem to have been getting caught up in political squabbles if the 1st people you met from so-called american intelligence were dirty cops who have now proven to be sleaze bags at the highest level you could perhaps understand my reluctance to embrace the intelligence agencies seem to be competing with each other rather than being
2:25 am
focused on getting the job done many wonder if they are up to the task of taking on china which has now been labeled the new big threat the us government and the intelligence community will fail to achieve the outcomes required to enable continued u.s. competition with china on the global stage for decades to come and to protect the us health and security none of this started with donald trump it's been a long pattern of dk and demoralization americans just don't seem to have faith in their leaders and their government like they once did it looks like a lot of key institutions in the united states need a reboot and fast or else who knows what kind of disaster could await america next caleb mop and artsy new york. politicians trying to appeal to young voters so often a recipe for cringe in the mix on the 2020 trial it seems that we've got everything from kicking prezza trying to run battles.

out any similarities that outbreaks. shared around what would you say is striking. a chord with 90. the biggest difference is this is the 1st pandemic in the era of social media and the internet. in that sense that news spreads rapidly throughout the globe almost instantly and the soldiers news service misinformation and rumors and conspiracy theories so although it's seeing very similar phenomenon that we saw in previous pandemics for example panic buying and racism and things like that everything is just happening faster in probably 1000 because of the internet and social media now even mention some of the human. currency and and places are behind. the deal done.
