5:07 am
soil to believe freely and not to give into 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. religious sites are getting the priority when it comes to securities 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 shock once again that this could hit at the heart of the city but there is also anger to. the friend the man justice who want these people to be deported to their country ok i'm sick of it there is no safety 3 people are dead what will america do build another mosque where people have been coming to the church in lame tributes since that attack took
5:08 am
place but the reality is that this is a community that is still in complete shock over what's happened. political commentators on break want joins me live on the line no welcome john. and what to really say apart from that it's been a horrific week for the people in france do you have any concerns that this might not be over yet. yes but one should not mix everything because the attack on the after those peace thingy on this levy then that this was an islamist killing it may be a personal conflict between him and some other piece or some personal conflict i don't think the islamists have much of a quarrel with the after the eggs and the other speeches about he did not have the holy just outfeed so it's not just i could be identified i mean i well i don't know i mean and that the police we have to wait till the inquiry sort of it is not obvious that this is a religious motive that. we have to not to mix everything in fact in the worst
5:09 am
attending this there was no i mean the guy. with. the truck. into the crowd there is no evidence that they were religious fanatic he was just crazy. so as not to kill. your woman saying what are we going to do build another must i mean. the whole home with that is that maybe they should be one of the most i mean it has nothing to do with this. is the reason that having more people having places of worship who need them to terrorist attack i mean all the old man's and every religious duty in transcript and then the attack and i don't think think of us that and. i remember that they have uncovered these people in the interior and in with them in tahrir in libya 'd. so this is a blowback from a longstanding policy and in mclean speak of freedom they are not it's exactly the
5:10 am
same here action that bush had after 911 attack us because they hate our freedom know they hate your foreign policy that's what the that's what they hate about america and that's what it amounts fans and as long as they have to scramble to suppress schiedam which is really you know most ridiculous i mean and those are the for freedom of speech watch and yet though there's a difference between that and showing the scary get yourself schools which i. you know good can see them showing her she would not allow that because she would consider them a spawn of country which they are now they're showing them in belgium took them 10 year old children and. that has been suspended. from the you know how can you do that they do that because you don't show a naked man. who seems to be reasonable i mean i don't think this is very. impressive sexually aggressive not to show that and that seems to mean that.
5:11 am
you know these guys get you don't have to be sure it's very different from 3 speeches when there are lots of i mean i could show you a good frame and they said we think i get you somewhere that says well they're not free but even if they were real would you suggest that they should be. in school so there's a big difference between that and it's going to be confusing when they say well we have to defend the freedom to show them school when that's a good question. obviously looking back that was mr attack upon the officer shot back in 2015 as a response to the caricature of the prophet muhammad that they published what did you think of the decision. to reprint cartoons. look it's very difficult to comment because of persons who were killed people i mean than the stand the sympathy that people can have for them but nevertheless i think it was silly and just useless and when you don't you don't i mean if they're
5:12 am
worried about the highest of islam is a religious fanaticism then there are several things to do 1st of all is not to give them weapons in in syria i mean you know george galloway is a former british labor man off balance when he was in parliament was to get there with him he was then defense minister of britain and he told him you have been hong many times in your life the general being seen but not what you're doing given that it really you know that. you know oh i mean the king people getting heads in the middle east is in sydney and the 3 come back to us and you come back to britain and that's what happened in britain and lots of unease france that's number one number 2 if you want to discuss religion the 1st thing to do is not to insert them for the pure pleasure of inserting them just to show how we are not we're smarter than you these largely once or indeed in century when

a tightening its grip both in russia and globally artie's heard from a leading evolutionary biologist who's conducted extensive studies into the virus he explains how it mutates and how outbreaks can be dealt with you can catch the full interview on our website r.t. dot com here's a preview. i think it's a blessing the coronaviruses evolve more slowly than other r.n.a. viruses it's still it's a very quick process because the virus mutates every 2 weeks but then one specific lineage what is a specific lineage thus infects musher mush infects pets and pets 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 regenerated 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 are all descended from one common ancestor which existed back then so it seems to me very unlikely that the parson fact that a person before that time. 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 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 future there are no guarantees of that. with just days to go till the u.s. presidential election polls show americans are losing trust in government institutions and regard the country's response to the pandemic as a national failure on the scale or more been digs deeper into us 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 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.

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 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
