2:06 pm
morning we heard from the anti terror prosecutor that she was almost beheaded by the perpetrator a 2nd was a 55 year old man who also worked as a sex in the church she'd been here for 10 years and the 3rd person was a woman she was stabbed she managed to escape from the church to raise the alarm so it was as a result of her heroic actions the police were informed and able to come in apprehend the perpetrator she succumbed to her injuries her last words were apparently tell my family that i love them president mark on has warned france's once again an attack but when he visited nice on thursday he remained defiant that freedom and france would continue to up hold its valleys him something if we're attacked once again it is for our values for our taste of freedom for this possibility on our soil to believe freely and not to give in to any mind of terror
2:07 pm
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 this city but there is also anger to. the french demand justice who want these people to be deported to their country. there is no safety 3 people are dead what will our mary do build another mosque people have been coming to the church in lame truth since that attack took place but the reality is that
2:08 pm
this is a community that is still in complete shock over what's happened. we spoke with middle east expert. who sees freedom of speech is being questioned more than ever tensions are mounting every day between the slimy word and france in france we have the french government saying that we have the freedom of speech we have the freedom to do any said anyone we want and on the other side we have the slimy word which says ok you can have the freedom of speech but you and you shouldn't be insulting our prophet so this 2 points of view are opposing each other and these 2 communities don't understand each other if we want to stop the radical islam here in france we should prove and we should show them that france is a neutral country that what we call here. that no religion has the right to
2:09 pm
interfere with the government or the state of affairs in france were just following up on the point muslims across the world have been protesting against prism of crohn's crackdown and hardliners loam tensions have also been heightened by the french to to recall magazine surely a doe's latest front cover featuring caricatures of the turkish president with more on the earth from rutgers to. something in france is broken and it is france nowhere else in europe is there this much terror killing and a complete breakdown and mutual respect and understanding a year ago and warned against stigmatizing muslims we're all one people he said since then something has changed now he's talking about islam of separatism shutting down dozens and dozens of muslim charities and organizations and has unveiled a plan to domesticate is lot. of our citizens of the islamic
2:10 pm
faith must be protected against the evil of radical islam i say it here because the will of the islamists of its ideologues is precisely to turn a part of our citizens against the republic using their religion and we cannot let that happen macro platen involves forbidding french moms from training overseas restricting foreign funding for religious organizations giving the government control over religious subsidies and you loon you get money if you sign a contract saying you respect french values he even has a name for this new french islam the islam of an lightman or everyone is about macros little cult and specifically his cracked out on muslim charities and n.g.o.s if the government still goes on to divide us it will create separate groups in society and it is not the solution. to some guilty maybe some people who come in but not everybody people have the right to practice their religion is
2:11 pm
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. it's nothing but an insult and a public stunt which essentially they are 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 a cash cow for people's feelings and beliefs for which they themselves have paid a high price.
2:12 pm
2:13 pm
understand freedom of. paves in this way to millions of people living in this country who are members of a different faith muslims are the primary victims of the cult of hatred empowered by colonial regimes and exported by their own clients the recent statements that the leadership level is the dence of this a creation of the holy qur'an a reflection. of this increasing islamophobia that is spreading in european countries we must explain to the western world the value systems differ for different social and religious and ethnic groups in the world backgrounds tough talk has so far completely thales france as they are seen as an enemy in the muslim world islam the phobic so boycotts protests and all that ask for his little project his plan to essentially domesticate islam and france may yet be the most add bishes thing macron has undertaken taken. thousands of people have
2:14 pm
rallied in central london against the government's new coronavirus restrictions. people held up banners accusing the authorities of tyranny 1st directing the movement of people the protests happening as the previous prime minister announced a new lockdown for england. 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 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 of march and april the measures that i've outlined a less pretty but even less restrictive but i'm afraid from thursday. the basic
2:15 pm
message is. stay at home protect the n.h.s. and save lives. if the new rules take effect on thursday the 5th of november last until a 2nd 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 after 4 weeks of lockdown the plan is to returning them to a system of local targeted restriction and when the need arises well since the start of the pandemic the u.k.'s been hit with more than a 1000000 covert 1000 cases over 46000 deaths that's the highest number in europe over the past week the u.k.'s daily infection rate has exceeded 20000. or we can hear now from paul booting 4 is an economist journalist welcome to the program it's not just the u.k.
2:16 pm
paul is it across europe of course countries are heading back into different forms of lock down united kingdom is just the latest really how much of this in your opinion is justified. well i'm not a through and through and use of course but as an economist i look at trade offs and to be honest measures taken in most of europe like the long downs do seem too much focused on trying to avoid infections at all costs rather than trying to find a balance between debt and other goals such as keeping you going you live in poverty and maintaining individual liberties so i understand it's difficult for any government right now to do the right decision but it seemed too much school and i think trying to avoid infections the u.k. france germany spain they've all spent heavily on furlough schemes and racked up hundreds of billions of euro in extra debt incredible figures really can you give us a sense of the long term economic cost of this. yeah there is no such thing as
2:17 pm
a free lunch and india and there will be cost involved in order dept is now being accumulated will i think ultimately end up at the balance sheet of the e.c.b. and will most likely not be paid back for now it is not a problem but in the long run that will most likely be highly inflationary but most of the public debt will be will be swallowed by the by he said be the real problem of course is private debt because a lot of businesses are wrecking up a lot of their individual households as well and something has to be done with that dept at some point especially if this continues well into 2021 you pointed to death needs to be handled with and it could well be really were some other form of that relief but i think that will be the main problem and next year a lot of companies will go bankrupt the coming and coming months unemployment will rise and there will be the big problem in 2021 i will also dominate i think elections in a different countries some countries have fared better than others during the
2:18 pm
pandemic which nations do you expect to emerge as winners and losers from the situation. why even look beyond europe of course it's the more isolated countries such as straight to see england and singapore that are able to bring infections down to 0 and those countries should be able to fare relatively well also the more totalitarian countries such as china and are better able of course to impose strict measures and they should also be able like we've already seen to do to recover faster but it's especially to the liberal countries where people still as much as they can try to enjoy individual rights and they find it more difficult to comply to all the lockdowns and the rules those countries will strongly i think with with in fact he's going forward in the need to try to find a way to to live with the virus to co-exist with the virus and i think those countries will struggle more of the ones i just mentioned so in western europe but
2:19 pm
also us we're more difficult to to to recover and will be will be taking longer and just to bring it back to europe where already witnessing a widespread dissatisfaction with the measures across the continent on to lock down protests in italy u.k. spain if this drags on paul into next year as it seems you're describing how dangerous could the civil unrest become. well civil unrest is not just a european thing of course it's we see it across the world especially also in the united states with the elections coming up but also we've seen in of course in in hong kong in thailand in those everywhere but in europe yeah we will most likely see civil unrest in crees over the next few months because of the lockdowns it will be a harsh winter but next year we have a few elections in holland in march in germany later in in all over stooped over so those were the moments where we can gauge how much more the government and the
2:20 pm
people can handle for now if you look at the polls in holland most people still support the lockdown and the strict measures but of course when we see unemployment rise we see where bankruptcy is there will probably be a point where people say ok no more and that's something you ready seems treat of course and it will only increase as long as we we don't find a way to to live or deal with the with the virus speaking to us this hour from amsterdam. economist or less thanks for your time and your thoughts. thank you. for the camera russia becomes one of the 1st countries to apply to the world health organization for an emergency license that is for its public the vaccine in a country that likely will get into that the 2nd thing. when it comes to covert 19 the most common physiological symptoms are fever dry
2:21 pm
2:22 pm
1000 vaccine sputnik v how it's been distributed to the 1st group of volunteers older than 60 the head of the trial said none of the participants showed any significant side effects after getting the initial dose russia has also become one of the 1st countries to apply to the world health organization for on the merge and see license for the vaccine. was developed by the institute in moscow on stage 3 trials with 55000 volunteers are underway if russia gets w.h.o. approval it will speed up the availability of the job globally despite skepticism about the vaccine in the west including claims that corners were cut to rush it into production it has confidence in the drug it comes as russia sees
2:23 pm
a spike in covert 19 infections with over 18000 new cases register over the past day a total number of cases exceeding $1600000.00 the country remains among the worst hit in the world together with the us india and brazil. while the cobra tightening its grip both in russia indeed worldwide heard from a leading evolutionary biologist who conducted extensive studies into the fires he explains how it mutates can be dealt with you can watch the full interview on our website here is a quick preview. i think it's a blessing the crown of arses 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 musher mush infects pets or pets infix tanya
2:24 pm
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 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.
2:25 pm
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 a couple of days to go now until the u.s. presidential election polls show americans are losing trust in government institutions and regard the country's response to the pandemic and national theatre . whether it's donald trump or joe biden who's sworn in on january 21st
2:26 pm
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 hurt 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
2:27 pm
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 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 them. george floyd as well as a long history of police brutality have many americans asking whether or not there
2:28 pm
are 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 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
2:29 pm
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 is it being too presumptious to say this too shall pass soon those regards covert 19 well we've got an extended interview next with the money he spent his life studying pandemics here his interesting take in moments . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is often very dramatic developments only personally i'm going to
