college london and in the moroccan city of a front in his armor sari associate professor of international studies at the university a warm welcome to you all and let's begin in paris with yasser at last he one of the things that is confusing to somebody doesn't really understand the internal workings of france is that instead of strengthening existing antiterrorism laws and make this about a policing issue say for example something that they did in great britain this law seems to be about protecting the name the values of the republic the idea of secularism i don't understand why the values of the republic need protecting in this way can use explain what's going on here. well if it nicholas sense it just the way to government is already in the 1st victims of terrorism abroad i.e. muslims or the suspect community of the holme we got in a connection to france a disastrous war is you know brother not over and to answer your question when we speak of french values this is a you know a loose term what are we really talking about if you're talking about the motu of the republic media. and fraternity wh

and in morocco, associate professor of international studies. a warm welcome to you all. would like to begin in paris. one of the things that is confusing to somebody who doesn't understand the internal workings of france is instead of strengthening existing anti-terror laws and making this about a policing issue, say for example something they did in great britain, this law seems to be about protecting the values of the republic, the idea of secularism. i don't understand why the values of the republic need protecting in this way. can you explain what is going on here? >> it makes sense given how victims of terrorists, i.e. muslims, are treated. to answer your question, when we speak of french values, this is a loose term. what are we talking about? if you are talking about the motto of the republic, in that case, where is the freedom when muslims lose their religious freedoms and can't organize as communities? where is equality when muslims are facing structural discrimination, and what is the connection between protecting french values and fighting terrorism? of course,

munnick: we know from international studies that a range of about two kilometers around each power station, the soil is enriched in heavy metals that come out of the coal. there's sizable pollution, and for a long time, i know, you know, since the late eighties, i think wee known that we were equal to what was in east germany in the bad air quality on the highveld. and there's something called a [indistinct], which is a test you do before you get employment, mostly at power stations and in the mines, and locals tell us that they regularly fail the [indistinct] test because they've grown up in a very polluted area. as they've grown up, they're unfit for work. [birds chirping] [tau coughs] munnick: this pollution was particulate matter, primary explanations of all the respiratory problems that we see on the highveld--particulate matter 2.5, small enough to get very deep into your lungs. [overlapping chatter] rachel mokgtsana: 30% of the patient around this [indistinct], they are suffering from asthma because of the--what you call the pollution that is from the [indistinct] around us. we have

anchor: let's bring in a professor johns hopkins school of advanced international studies. he joins us from washington, d.c.. what was once a formality has taken on significance with the president refusing to accept defeat. what do these announcements means? guest: for donald trump, apparently they mean nothing. his advisers, his lawyers, rudy giuliani and jen ellis, and some of the states and in congress, they simply proceed as if these certifications did not happen and it is quite significant in a state like arizona as well as in georgia, it has to be emphasized these are republican officials. the governor is a republican, the officials in georgia having a insisted that as republicans, the election operation was smooth, no evidence of fraud whatsoever. this simply does not deter donald trump and his advisers, his lawyers and backers from insisting there was fraud. anchor: i am told you are a former lawmaker. in terms of logistics, where do things go from here with trump's legal challenges? guest: legally, and i speak here as a lawyer, not a lawmaker, his legal challenges

it's part of a series from the centers oftrategic and international studies think tank. it refers to china as the ggest security challenge for the japan-u.s. alliance and sites north korea as a second regional concern. under the circumstances the report said trilateral policy coordination involving japan, the u.s. and south korea continues to be critical to regional security. but it warned of the continuing tension between japan and south korea, urging both sides to focus on the future not the past. the report recommends the challenging opportunity for deeper cooperation, inclusion of japan in the intelligence sharing network. the group is made up of english speaking countries, the u.s., u.k., australia, canada and new zealand. but the authors say the u.s. and japan should make serious efforts to move toward a six eyes network. the experts called on america to join the comprehensive and aggressive transpacific partnership. the u.s. under the trump administration withdrew from its earlier iteration, the tpp in 2017. >>> four people were arrested at a staffing agency on su

joining us now is heather conley from the center for strategic and international studies.is great to see you again after a few months oabsence due to lockdown. tell us how much trouble to you think these talks are in if they've had to pause them? heather: i think thi is always going to come down to a political decision and that's exactly where we are on the issues that have bedeviled these negotiators. is this truly the endgame? negotiators have gone as far as they can. at the end of the day, boris johnson has to decide whether he's going to go forward with an agreement, and eventually 27 members of the european union will have to make that same decision. we are at endgame. it is a political decision. let's see what this conversation tomorrow afternoon is like between european commission president and prime ministers johnson. laura: the talks seem to be stalled on the minutia of who gets the fish where, but this is a very messy divorce agreement between the u.k. and e.u.? heather: it is really difficult. let's separate the two issues. fisheries have a very small economic i

china the us and the whole world thanks again i would think china national association of international studies says that the trumpet ministrations attacks on beijing and misguided recent it due to rationing china u.s. relations is very much caused by the poisoning by president trump and his followers in the us administration if you listen to what president trump and his government have been saying how much can you really give credit as to what they say how much children there is it whatever they are at 30 i think there is not a lot of calls for a lot of misrepresentation of distortion because they are afraid of the larger china but the rise of china is a megatrend that you cannot stop child who will be large and then the united states but a larger china doesn't make china and enemy of the united states why should we minimize exchanges of ideas people goods services between china and the united states the 2 largest economies in the worlds and the minimization of this hurts the americans as much as the heart the chinese people president either will be a better presidents then president trump i h

more on this story, we can speak now to a representative from the department of politics and international studiesm the school of oriental and african studies in london, who joins us now from lagos. thank you for being wettest on "france 24." -- thank you for being with us on "france 24." boko haram says it was responsible for this attack but we still have no official confirmation of that. one of the boys today says his captors asked him to describe them as being embers -- as being members of boko haram, but that he suspected actually they were just armed bandits. what is your view on this? >> it is absolutely not surprising at all. there has been growing influence of boko haram, not just in the northeast but north-central, and now moving down. so thais a lot of collaboration between boko haram and the bandits and kidnappers we see in the northwestern part of nigeria. so i think that level of cooperation, partnership and association, gives the bandits the confidence to have a certain label of identity. and therefore they are not even afraid to be identified as nubbers of boko haram. because right

and the whole world back together think china national association of international studies says the trumpet ministrations attacks on beijing are misguided. recent it due to religion in china u.s. relations is very much caused by the poisoning by president trump and his followers in the us administration if you listen to what president trumpet as government have been saying how much do you really give credit as to what they say how much trouble there is it whatever they are up 30 i think there is not a lot of calls for a lot of misrepresentation lots of distortion because they are afraid of a larger china but the rise of china is a mega trends that you cannot stop child but will be larger than the united states but a larger china doesn't make china and enemy of the united states why should we minimize exchanges of ideas all good services between china and the united states that your largest economies in the world's any minimization of this courage the americans as much as the heart the chinese president i do will be a better president for them president trump i hope he and his govern
