were almost 23000 new cases of the virus in the 24 hours to wednesday with 104 deaths in president machen said that the health care system was simply overloaded with stuff being exhausted and he said that the situation was more worrying now than it had been during march at the start of the 1st wave of the pandemic now these measures will also of course affect restaurants and he said that they would be help for people who worked in those sorts of businesses with 90 percent of pay basic pay being covered by the state but you can imagine that many businesses who already hard hit by cope with 1000 of probably worrying about what the future will hold for them now and present back and said that france would have to live with this virus until at least the summer of 2021 so not just a long winter ahead but possibly a long spring and a long summer for france as even stricter measures could be put in place if as president machen said people do not respect the rules and those numbers of covert 9000 infections are not brought down. we spoke with the health director for red cross international who sup

well the anger has been spilling out since president machen defended the use of those cartoons those controversial cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammed and they have been protests in many muslim majority countries such as bangladesh in jordan in libya and also in gaza with people burning effigies of president and there's been this war of words between him and the turkish president who suggested that she needed to have his mental health checked many muslim majority countries also calling for a boycott of french products and a warning to french citizens who live or who are traveling in those countries to be extra vigilant at the moment. and charlotte within the last hour or so there have been reports of an incident also in france and avignon what more do we know about that. well very little at the moment but we do understand that a man attempted to attack police in the norm and he was shot dead now the early reports and these are unconfirmed is that that men is said to have been of turkish origin so there will be a question whether that is related to this war of words between presid

spring and a long summer for france as even stricter measures could be put in place if as president machen said people do not respect the rules and those numbers of covert 9000 infections are not brought down we spoke with the director for red cross international who support the tougher restrictions. the starter measures measures are welcome and now we as the red cross today called out for political leaders to intervene at you now speedy courageous any inclusive way to ensure that these measures are put in place to protect that the health and the social economic status of of the people of france and in many other countries even europe or many countries are being taken little bit by surprise by the iraq surge all cases and so they are many countries are reacting within the departures 48 hours with new measure that being put in place what is needed are did more meant to ease. measures that can reduce the deferred trust mission but measures that can also bring people along at least equal you know order to ensure that those measures are actually effective. russia says it will stop taking part

the greater parisian region and also 8 other cities the worst affected cities by 19 now president machen said that this will have to be strictly regulated if you are out past 9 pm and you don't have a good reason i.e. you're not leaving your work to go home or you don't have an artist in which is like a paper to say that you can be out on the streets you will be fined the 1st time a $135.00 euros repeat offenders will face $1500.00 euros in terms of fines and we understand that this will be in place for at least 4 weeks but the government is going to look to extend that up until december 1st so that will be precipitous weeks but that could if you will be in place to give you an example the number of cases almost 23000 new cases registered in the last 24 hours with more than a 104 deaths also read just it now president michel also talked about. the things that needed to be taken into consideration he said that we needed to reduce private gatherings in france have less social contact with people and the rule of 6 that's been in place in restaurants he said now had to be in place in private

cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammed in a civics class about freedom of speech since then president machen has defended several times the use of showing caricature as like this and the fact that caricature is like that can be published in france because it's not illegal and that has caused a huge wave of anti french sentiment in muslim majority countries we have seen protests with tens of thousands of people taking place in places such as bangladesh they have also been protests in jordan in libya in gaza people burning effigies of president matt corn and calling for a boycott on french goods i mean this anti french sentiment this anger has been boiling and bubbling over and it's not far to suggest that there is perhaps a link between what's happening there in the wake of samuel patti's murder over these controversial cartoons and this attack that's taken place in east today 3 people dead including one who is said to have been beheaded. as you mentioned charlotte i mean there's heavy indications this was a terrorist attack we wait confirmation if all the reports to pan out to be true this w

between the french president and the turkish president the turkish president suggesting that president machen needed to have his mental health checked so all of this comes at a time of really heightened tension here in france we don't know that this latest attack is linked to that but it does seem very likely given the situation that from . currently finds itself in with the fact that many people in the muslim world hardliners are calling for action shala do risky in paris with the latest details of a suspected terrorist attack today in nice. protests are gripping the muslim world over the french president's recent defense of the right to parody religion it comes as french satirical magazine charlie a caricature or at the center of that growl added fuel to the fire with his latest front cover featured a cartoon of the turkish president who's been one of the fiercest critics of the french state stance on freedom of expression and recalled the front cover disgusting turkish prosecutors launching a criminal probe in response to shirley publishing that caricature of the turkish president slammed

time here in france with just a couple of days after a terror attack it was described by president machen as being in islam is terror attack that saw 3 people brutally murdered in the town of nice let's just have a reminder of what unfolded there. but in this new tragedy today you see victims of islamofascism child repeatedly denounced. return to. the siren of the farm and the police arrived weekly just really with bikers and everything that followed then they set up a security system i went down with my scooter and i saw the guy come in and take refuge in the cathedral afterwards i heard a lot of gunshots. well as a result of that brutal horrific attack that unfolded the niece on thursday france has raised its terror alert up to the maximum level the country now deploying $4000.00 extra security personnel to troy and bolster the security situation in the country this comes as france is about to celebrate all saints' day which is a major catholic holiday in the country the country's prime minister cast dix has said that you know all french people should be able to count on the nation to b

has had a longstanding problem with grown islamic radicalism and in the last few weeks president machen set out to stall in what was seen is being pretty much a long walk speech saying how he was going to fight against this and he talked about a draw off a bill that still to be presented in december that will look down closing homeschooling loved closest scrutiny of many organizations and he said that this was to tackle foreign interference here in france you know the trough bill which we released in december we've had little trinkets of what's coming out given that we've seen mosques like this being shut down in the wake of mood of some real party president. court has said he will continue this point. that our citizens of this islamic 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 but many might say detract is that this is perhaps too little too late particularly given that it's emerged in the la

different this time around there is the fact that schools will remain open and we know the president machen said that this will be reviewed in 2 weeks to see how the progress is going away or that means that they can perhaps loosen the noose slightly these measures are being brought in mainly to try and help hospitals hospitals which say they are overwhelmed by cases of cope 19 hospital staff who have been saying commodes they are exhausted and need more assistance now we know that this had been expected by many people and fearing the worst that it would be is an excellent of a 2nd locked out and as a result of that people leaving paris to be able to not stay during a lockdown in perhaps small cramped apartments present mokoena said the government will give everything possible to keep people in the means that they need to we know that a 3rd long will be extending it and we know that there will be more aid announced for as social charges and for rent and there will be a total business say so france going into its 2nd lockdown a lockdown that's not expected to last until at least december 1st

different this time around there is the fact that schools will remain open and we know the president machen said that this will be reviewed in 2 weeks to see how the progress is going and whether that means that they can perhaps loosen the noose slightly but as you mentioned this will be in place until december 1st mark owen said in the speech that the virus is circulating in france at a speed that even the most pessimistic person did not foresee and he said that the 2nd wave would be more deadly than the 1st that he talked about something he said that if this was on check that process went along ringback the route of trying to create good immunity it would see some 400000 excess deaths as a result of that now we know that the situation with kuwait at the moment we have seen 523 code related. deaths in a 24 hour period up to the last day or so that is the highest they get that france has registered since april and in the last few days we have seen the test rates at come back with more than 50000 people resting positive for the disease in a 24 hour period and these measures of being brought

boycotts of french products there's also been descriptions by the turkish president of president machen suggesting president back on the did to have his mental health checked there really is a huge amount of anger that is spilling over as a result of this and charlotte also we're hearing in the last hour or so an incident in a stabbing there what more can you tell us about that. yes it's not clear if this stabbing is a tall in relation to what's happened denise but what we know so far is that a man was shot dead after police attended the scene that heard reports of somebody armed with a gun when they went there they tried to get the man to put the gun down he apparently tried to get closer to the police they stunned him with an electric gun and following that when he didn't stand down the shot to me again and he has been shot dead but there is no indication that has a link with nice at the same time there has been a 3rd incident this one happened in the capital of saudi arabia where a man who said to be a saudi national stabbed a guard outside the french consulate that the french ambass

in libya there's also been this war of words between the turkish president president machen with the turkish president suggesting that president michel needed his mental health checked so really there is being so much fuel to the fire in the last couple of weeks we don't know that this attack in east of a is linked to what's been happening but it's not really a fast dept it's to suggest that there is a link with these things. so that's what's been unfolding in france over the last few weeks in this now seems to be something to add to that another brutal attack taking place with 3 people having lost their lives and shiloh while you were there we're also getting reports now just coming in of 2 other instances one in avignon and also an incident in saudi arabia i believe concerning the french consulate what further details we have on those yes this is breaking news with just information coming through there's not a huge amount of detail but we understand that somebody attempted to attack police with a knife in the union which is in the south of france we understand that the perpetrator

not enough to compensate them for the sheer stress that they are under the moment even president machen when he was interviewed on the nation's t.v. stations on wednesday night i can only guess that the problems in the health sector oh pretty dire. our emergency rooms and our hospitals are in a more worrying situation than in march because we don't have a reserve of beds which is why we have to take measures that are more strict. now in a big to improve the situation in hospitals present much corn announced on wednesday evening that they would be a curfew in france not clear if you will come into force on saturday and it will be in the 90 worst affected areas across may not in france it will be in full swing knowing pm in the evening and till 6 am in the morning and it will be strictly enforce with those outside without any right to be out so i find a 135 euros for the 1st offense that going up she 1500 euros for repeat offenders now you know i've been speaking to the health workers here and saying you know is this enough and basically they've said no it's true that it was too late this

ago so this is that going on and since then in the wake of some of patti's decapitation president machen has defended the use of those controversial images that's caused a huge amount of anti french sentiment that has been rising in many muslim majority countries that have been protests with tens of thousands taking place effigies of president match on have been burned and they have been for a week caught on french products this anger this resentment towards this defiance of france to continue showing these controversial cartoons which is seen as being offensive to muslims seems to be stirring and raging even more now we are. i don't know that it's the latest attack is related to those cartoons but it's not a fast deck to suggest that there is a link. from paris though with the details of today's attack in nice. a spring in political analysts nicolo. live on the line we've heard some of the details from our correspondent. there unconfirmed but the reuters news agency quotes sink police sources saying that a woman had been decapitated that the assailant who is believed to have been arrest
