for a muslim federations in france have refused to back a manual micron's and tired stream is a charter the president has been touting it as a way to fight radical islam. we regret that this chance it was signed before getting 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 decorations infringe on the honor of muslims exhibiting an accusatory and marginalizing character however a number of other muslim federations did sign up to the charter after intense and drawn out discussions the project envisions a new national council responsible for vetting in moms in the country it rejects polarized brands of islam and reaffirms equality between men and women is a missed terror reared its ugly head again in france just 3 months ago a teacher was beheaded for showing his class cartoons of the prophet mohammed
8:13 pm
during a lesson on free speech. on the park in patridge was the victim of an islamist terror attack. that. took. place to me 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 samuel patty triggered a crackdown against extremist mosques and islam is associations the president of the paris based islamic confederation organization here told us why he is
8:14 pm
personally against macross charter. some of these look at that humans we disagree on a number of matters one being the group this child who was to be addressed to at the beginning it was about drafting a child to republican principles of the national council of in mom's so it was supposed to concern in mom's and mosques here we find ourselves with the charter of principles of islam in france and the fail it 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 that don't pose any problems for them as for the principles of the french republic the french people of the muslim face in this country and surrounded say in respect of the values of the french republic that can 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 the ra and
8:15 pm
to muslim acts 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 there isn't deeds and then christened 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. could it be the new post present reality after the break we hear from a british ex-pat who had his groceries seized at the spanish borders take to mrs argenter national. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the

8:17 pm
welcome back this is our chance for national now protests have been held in dozens of cities across russia calling for the release of kremlin critic election of the police were out in force as well as anger boiled over and dozens of arrests were made. was there there. was. this right. now out of all he was detained last weekend on his or arrival from germany for violating the terms of his parole or he goes down the reports now from the protests in moscow. it is getting a little bit hectic because the police special forces have begun at least their
8:18 pm
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 for 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 that we have seen some detentions some scuffles fighting
8:19 pm
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 those even a police officer who was handing out masks at the very beginning of the protest have all of. you. even really believed my. advice you know by through us it will ruin everything. group of the group.
8:20 pm
has a few. 173. of them so you could hear that some people saw a surgical mosque is 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 or 3 day i'm calling on the release of alexina vali a prominent opposition figure here 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 in you could put you on the show if you can but you could probably see that they left their banners that hundreds also turned out for
8:21 pm
a rally invited all stuck in russia's far east bringing the city center to a standstill police used force to disperse the crowd there detaining dozens of protesters some of those taking part were schoolchildren rushes on bodmin for children has denounced what she described as opposition activists using youngsters as a human shield against the police similar scenes played out in the city of chita though on a smaller scale marches have been happening across the country at a demonstration in the siberian city of police tried to reason with some of the younger protesters. you know he's right there. you see there's. the. beach boys you know you are.
8:22 pm
right. the russian foreign ministry has claimed the u.s. had been trying to encourage the demonstrations by using its embassy and consulates to publish details of the protest plans 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 endpoint for example in the capital journalist eva bartlett who reported on the largest opposition protest in moscow in 2019 so saturday's policing wasn't as intense compared to what she has witnessed before. surprised to see that protesters were convened in the square in pushkin square and periodical chanting and cheering for a good hour and a half before the police took i mean measures to clear the square when they did
8:23 pm
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 in 21000 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 an appalling who was arrested
8:24 pm
for i believe is for breaching his bail so actually a perfectly legitimate reason and who returned to russia knowing full well he would be arrested. it would be a taste of things to come after britain's recent departure from the e.u. or britain living in spain and working in the british overseas territory of gibraltar has had his shopping bag emptied by spanish border guards he was forced to leave behind much of its contents. usually you just walk straight well they might be out check it out call. they. showed them a bag and they they took the time to look a little bit more cafe than they normally day and they started back probably this night 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 the. confiscation was officially in keeping with
8:25 pm
the e.u. travel guidelines it prohibits travelers from bringing meat dairy products and processed vegetables from member states among the items that landed joseph in trouble were processed onions in a spicy sauce who tried to make the best of a bad situation by selling the prohibited products online although of a loss i don't 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 to my knowledge at that sign that i can say these things over so. if this is already happening in the 1st week after breakfast then yeah our program into space a few a few other issues. as it stands going forward i think the moment we're still in which a bolter is actually having to negotiate an agreement with spain due to us being
8:26 pm
left out of the. g.'s my surroundings and some things i was going through the time for just moving around a lot i didn't get. to 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 save the european union. either does a frail back about say 34 minutes of another full of fresh. joined me every 1st day on the alex salmond and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or. i'm sure. i'll see if. i wouldn't support sort of the banning of trump per se i think long
8:27 pm
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 into steps they're on the way to their view they 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 heat fall and viral in those cases we need to intervene.
8:28 pm
sweet taste awful like absolutely awful 1st game coded then a 2nd wave is coming now the virus is mutating and i walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused as to holly gets not. meanwhile patients who recovered from covert started to report some unusual aftereffects the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think that's one of those things where it's like research is all over the world are trying to determine the many aches pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers showing my hair. but you appear to be the 1113 there is just throughout the day my hair just freakish. various sources reports that couvade didn't just leave for 35 percent of recovered patients. so you don't pull the bullshit card as the bush. just
8:29 pm
there have been many complaints of feral vision loss joint pain and fatigue in the us these patients are referred to as post coded long holos i have talked to multiple doctors and 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. amanda. were maybe will go somewhere. never mind. just amanda finley has lost her driving confidence i have not driven my car on the last 3 months. i've just been there. it looks like someone took some ground and then put it in your life. and i had on both
