the approval of all components of the french council of the muslim faith we believe that some passages and wordings of the submitted text are of a nature that will weaken the ties of trust between the muslims of france and the nation in addition some of the declarations infringe on the honor of muslims exhibiting an accusatory and marginalizing character well that is one view but a number of other muslim federations did sign up to the charter after intense and drawn light discussions now the project envisions a new national council responsible for vetting and martin's practicing in the country it rejects polarized brands of islam and reaffirms equality between men and women islamist terror reared its ugly head again in france just 3 months ago a teacher was beheaded for showing his class cartoons of the prophet mohammad during a lesson on freedom of speach. i'm

not talking patridge was the victim of an islamist terror attack. establishing islam is a religion that is in crisis today all over the world we don't just see it in our country. the will of the islamists is precisely to turn our citizens against the republic using their religion and we cannot let that happen. the gruesome attack on some your party triggered a crackdown against extremists and mosques and islamist associations we heard from 40 sarik here he's the president of the party space the islamic confederation which is against them across this charter we asked them why. some of it is look at humans

we disagree on a number of matters one being the group this charter was to be addressed to at the beginning it was about drafting a charter republican principles of the national council of so it was supposed to concern and mosques here we find ourselves with the charter of principles of islam and france and the failure to make the proper distinctions run many paragraphs anyway asking muslims explicitly to clarify their position on subjects that are of this subject that they have respected for years and years don't pose any problems for them as for the principles of the french republic the french people of the muslim face all live in this country and surrounded sin in respect of the values of the french republic that to gauge us all we do not have to ask them explicitly to measure their religious convictions to prove how respectful they are to the values and principles of the french republic it is certain that there are and to muslim facts we call that islamophobia we're not going to get into semantics we have a commission called fight against islamophobia so we call it that the reason deaton

increase and these acts especially in light of current events now i also don't want to say the result institutionalized islamophobia in france i really think that our country is doing its best to fight against and to muslim acts against islamophobia but that does not mean that these kinds of acts are not increasing. is the following taste of things that come after britain recently left the e.u. a britain living in spain and working in the u.k. controlled enclave of gibraltar has had a shopping bag emptied by spanish border guards he was forced to leave behind much of it's called. usually you just walk straight well they might be out check it. out call tobacco whatever. they. showed them a bag and they they took the time to look for a little bit more caffeine than we normally day and they started back probably they

started pulling everything out after checking a few items they basically just told me that the majority of this you can't take through because it has processed vegetables on it and saying that they were going to essentially just put them in then. the confiscation was officially in keeping with the e.u.'s travel guidelines it's travelers from bringing meat dairy products process vegetables from nonmember states among the things that got joseph into trouble was processed onions in a spicy sauce he tried to make the best of about situation though avenge me selling the prohibited products a loss like think it's reasonable i had a brief conversation with one of the guards in the in the office that made my point if i can take these items it seems to me that would be more like large quantities not for snow items and there was no documentation to support a fact at least my knowledge of the sign that i can take these things over so. if

this is already happening in the 1st week after bret's it then yeah really anticipate a few a few other issues. as it stands going forward i think at the moment we're still in actually having to negotiate an agreement with spain due to us being left out of the brits g.'s my surroundings and some things i was going through the time for just moving around a lot i didn't get. a really wish i had had i voted as a set of really wish i had i would have stood with the 9097 percent of gibraltar that chose to remain because that i didn't really see any benefit whatsoever for us to leave the european union. a similar theme or rather has broken out after the e.u.'s ambassador to britain was the 9th old diplomatic status london insists it's not obliged to treat representatives of international bodies the same as foreign diplomats working for nation states on this london changes the e.u.'s new

ambassador won't be able to get approval by the queen as head of a diplomatic mission the u.k.'s this is an is a dog's with the way the blocks representatives are treated in most other countries london's move doesn't sit well with brussels we are not the national religion of the ozols we have a union i think it would be vice in my view to for do you could to find. britain's foreign office has tried to smooth things over stating that the e.u.'s representative will receive quote the privileges and immunities necessary to carry out their work in the u.k. effectively however a political commentator jealous and fryer believes that london's approach could backfire. i think this is a really sad position that the british government has taken because after all we were members of the european union for nearly 50 years and brags that a part is not enough they now want to downgrade the status of the european union and although more than $150.00 countries around the world give full diplomatic

privileges to iran bassa does under the vienna convention and this is the situation that these landed dissin now with the government surrounded by cabinet ministers who support this nationalistic brake line which is actually not to toe championing britain's global role as he would see it diminishing britain's role in the international stage if we want to have a good working relationship with the 27 neighbors who are our main trading partners has taken as a whole we really need to have a much more. grown up attitude towards this. deal with our team on the way the protests in cities across russia best celebrate and supports our opposition activist alexei navalny turned on multiple arrests reported it's our next story here richard.

legs.

join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. 16 minutes into the program welcome back there have been protests in dozens of cities across russia today calling for the release of the opposition activist alexei navalny the police were out in force 2 boiled over and dozens of arrests were made. i thought wow was was. was

was was was. was. alexina valmy was detained last weekend on his arrival from germany for violating the terms of his parole he goes to tell of has been covering the rally in central moscow throughout the day. it is getting a little bit hectic because the police special forces have begun at least their initial attempts to clear out this square which has been completely packed for about an hour now so people have been trying to escape the security forces through this corner as well we managed to keep our vantage point but no we're not sure how much longer we will be able to do that because there's a lot of people it's a huge crowd it's very very packed so it's difficult to let people through here and not be taken away with this a flood of protesters now it does feel like there's

a good few 1000 people here although i haven't seen any official of figures as of yet as to how many people have showed up here in the heart of the russian capital and now there has been some movement also i'd sit quite snowy here in moscow right now so people have been actually throwing snowballs at police officers as they were detaining people because we have seen some detentions some scuffles fighting between the protesters and the police and people who were taken and well taken into custody now when it comes to the police response of rather staying with that there's a constant message being played through a megaphone that is right over there calling on the people to disperse saying that it is this rally has not been authorized and also reminding people of the coronavirus situation here because obviously social distancing is not a thing here and it goes even a police officer who was handing out masks at the very beginning of the protests

have a lot of. fear. we believe my. bike through. the roof. group of the group. is a. significant group. so you could hear that some people saw a surgical mask as a symbol of oppression from the authorities also also when it comes to the amount of people and to how they have been behaving in general they have been chanting slogans like shame. 3 them calling on the release of alexina vali

a prominent opposition figure in russia also they've been calling for the resignation of the russian president vladimir putin which is a traditional traditional thing a traditional chant during protests like this some some protesters also climb to these street lights and you could put you i'm not sure if you can but you could probably see that they left their banners that well the earlier in the day hundreds turned out for on sanctions rally and volleyball stock in russia's far east bringing the city center to a standstill police used force to disperse the crowds attending dozens of protesters some of those taking part were school children well under the age of 18 russia's men for children has denounced what she described as opposition to vist using youngsters as a human shield against the police similar scenes played out in the city of chita though on a smaller scale with a few 100 demonstrators taking part marches have been happening across the country

with the main focus on moscow none of them were authorized. a protest in the siberian city of cross no you are the police try to reason but some of the younger protesters. are moving. a piece of paper. you still. consider to be. the. voices you know. are. almost like. the russian foreign ministry have a single down to the us for encouraging the protest with spokeswoman marie has a heart of highlighting how the american embassy and consulates in russia gave protesters instructions online. yesterday the u.s. embassy in moscow published roots of protests in russian cities and to an

information about a march on the kremlin but was it instruction even the organizers did not announce such plans you can imagine what would happen if the russian embassy in washington d.c. published a map of protest through syndicating to the end point for example in the capital of journalist eva bartlett who reported the large opposition protest in moscow in 2019 states today's policing hasn't been as intense as what she's witnessed while reporting in other countries. i was surprised to see that protesters were convened in the square and pushed into where and proudly chanting and cheering for a good hour and a half before the police took i mean measures to clear the square when they did that they did it in waves they approached you know forming a line and generally pushing the crowd back i did see baton being used but i did not see the kind of excessive violence that i would see in protest for example in france you know not only does have the backing of the west so i think that we will

see more protest in the usual attempts to paint scenes of chaos in russia paint scenes of you know mass dissatisfaction in the country well one thing i noticed with the protests and 29000 and today there are a lot of young people and on the one hand you could commend young people for being politically aware very young people from ages 12 perhaps lower or older which is strange to me because at that age you don't really have a political awareness so it seems like children might be being used in these in this political game in order to paint to the western world scenes of the entire mass of russia uprising you know in support of. it let's bring it back to the u.k. where a british university plans to drop some of english literature is most classical works to open up a more diverse than quote de colonies curriculum modules on race sexuality are

going to a place maybe vote chose cers come to breed tools or wolf the university has rejected claims that it's going works because they're too white. we are currently considering some proposed changes to our english program and we are consulting with staff as part of these discussions the university of leicester continues to offer students a broad programme of learning at undergraduate level including a chronological spawn of english literature from shakespeare to burn a dean everest alongside him it's creature of an author driven modules lester university graduate poet ruby waterman believes students need to have access to the full range of literature and history of their country. a.c.t writes is he still relevant and yes he's the father of english mixture in my with the fact that he wrote a long time ago to make him irrelevant may still an inspiration to write as now there are blockbuster adaptations a barrel for another med able to extract who want the stuff and if you think many

rich tunes just sort of the gods they are in god obsessed with those talking jibberish and you just study my what you missing me don't know what you're talking about is this you know it's not elites a state it's history it's our history and how can they way you are how can you know way of caring if you don't worry being a main concern is. the university has a good reputation rightly say it isn't one of the very early inverse d's and it mainly attracts state school students and it's rats were being averse to like that teaching a full range of english literature don't know students decide to learn about wonderful history in which to from the past i think i think they'd say lester's marketing slogan used to be elite without being elitist it isn't very latest to help ensure that the study of medieval ish is only available to people who go to a tiny number of of elite institutions i understand how it works universities have a really serious subjugation say to discuss things like race and class and

gender and to provide employee abilities are preaching to the students i guess if students at the universities that we traditionally regard ass our lady institutions won't be taking many modules focused on employability they'll be learning about the subjects they've signed up to study. for up to the minute developments on the busy news day do you remember to give r.t. a follow on that twitter you will be bored you content delivered there all through the day i mean. i wouldn't support sort of the banning of trump or say i think long before we reach this point there should have been enough and there should have been

a set of guidelines and rules. technology platforms followed around specific kinds of cases by which people might be maybe even not the platforms. there are in the way to there are stealing information that is going viral that is obviously false and or heedful. by these algorithms that are influencing the visibility of content that is he fall and viral in those cases we need to enter the. 3rd of ministration i've been doing this show for 12 years anyway you know a big theme of 20202016 was dollars station. and now it's all

coming to. taste awful like absolutely 1st game then a 2nd wave is coming now the virus is mutating walk 2 blocks away from the. and i would get confused. meanwhile patients who recovered from covert started to report some unusual aftereffects the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think. one of the things i like research is all over the world are trying to determine the many pains and other problems and then turn it into numbers showing my hair. care 1113 there this is throughout the day my hair just. various sources reports that didn't just leave for 35 percent of recovered patients.

there have been many complaints of peril vision loss joint pain and fatigue in the us these patients are referred to as posed. i talked to multiple doctors in my doctor and they said we have a feeling that you're going to have a hard time in recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider a long haul or. become a battleground in the us. is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous. power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limit this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of

a traditional for just a. power line with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways. this is the one business show you can't afford to mess i'm rachel love is in washington coming out of it going to tell more of below 30000 this week following an unprecedented highs so what does this mean for the future of the world's most popular cryptocurrency will discuss what as the u.s. attempts to expand its rollout of covert 19 vaccines officials in new york and california are saying they can't.
