of the interesting things about been during the drive been ministration within your visit you had mccrone and marigolds actually talking about the what is the nature of the e.u. sovereignty what kind of foreign policy it should have what kind of military posture it should now because that was the during a time of turbulence with the united states which obviously beast. those questions and to be addressed as you have distributed malaysian across the atlantic now with joe biden coming back in is that conversation going to stop in europe and the europeans and this going to get back in the lap of the americans because the things have changed what will you that were at the end of last year which got very little news coverage is that the european union zite a huge investment deal with china and china is going to play probably the most important role on the global stage for the next house century here and the europeans in least made an initial choice in december and many will say that was just but you do just use the united states because of the europeans how could one way or another have some k

heard from secular he is the president of the paris based islamic confederation which is against mccrone charter we asked them why. some only look at that 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 the choco republican principles of the national council of so it was supposed to concern mosques here we find ourselves with a charter of principles of islam and france and if they do it's to make the proper distinctions drawn many paragraphs anyway asking muslims explicitly to. clarify their position on subjects that are all this subjects 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 stand 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 the ra and to musl

even someone like a manual mccrone who wants to have a much more muscular european union in the world i think even someone like him acknowledges the limits of e.u. power and even the ability or the desire for the e.u. to have power in the world and that they need the united states in some way shape or form. to be a partner again not going back to that patronage kind of relationship i think even the biden ministration wants to see a stronger more muscular european union because the united states no longer wants to really be the policemen of the world except of course when it meets their own interests but doesn't want to sort out other country's problems and wants other powers around the world to keep their regions in check and i think that's the kind of quilts of democracies you can kind of if you want to put it that way that i think biden is going to want to try to to form with the european union he is of course biden is an old fashioned and i don't mean that in a dismiss specked for a way a traditional let me put it that way a traditional multi lateral list so you know he is he a par

president mccrone has said in his in his of address he wants to punish criminals and for their past acts and i'm in the video message that he put out he acknowledged how hard it is 1st of 5 years of sexual abuse to speak up have a listen. will do some of you have been freed of a burden of shame that you have carried for too long you know you wanted to be free but sometimes has iterated i just want to tell you that we are here we are listening to you he will never be alone again we believe you think. we believe you he says there now tell us a little bit more about how this case has resulted in many victims taking to social media actually yeah hundreds of people have been sharing best henri's of sexual abuse that they suffered during their childhood under the hash tag me to incest and the stories that are often brief that placed on social media and they make pretty pretty disturbing reading but what's good to know is many of these people suffer abuse do put their lives together but it's a hard hard journey our hard journey of all thank you for bringing us that story on a short short. movin

sentences to spend it and given fines as well so i think that the context of of this now is the present mccrone the french government or debate see an anti extremist charter and present course some waves last event where he described islam as a religion in crisis and there is a feeling that this charter was really aimed at muslims more than anybody else so i think what's interesting about the interior minister's comments today is it shows that they are looks like they are going to take seriously the threat from extremists from the right wing david harrison from our serious investigative unit so had many thanks indeed. hundreds of women have protested in honduras against last week's congressional decision to strengthen an existing ban on abortion protesters are angry at the government's move to outlaw abortion under all circumstances including rape and incest women face up to 6 years in prison for undergoing an abortion. in brazil relatives and friends of hundreds of people who were killed in a mining disaster marking its 2nd anniversary with a memorial service there also calling for those respo

of course we've heard in the last 12 hours from president mccrone of france saying that the u.k. remains our neighbor but also our friend and ally in the address he also said that this brics it was the child of the european malays and of many lies and false promises so an admission that there had been weaknesses in the e.u. but stressing that he thought it was a great shame a mistake even what had happened similarly the irish foreign minister simon kovan he has said that it's not something to celebrate and regretting that the relationship between ireland and the u.k. is about to change will of course islands and northern ireland parts of the u.k. share of the island of islands there will be a transition period before customs checks have to happen on goods coming from great britain into northern ireland but that's one example of red tape that surround the corner for businesses in the u.k. lots of people asking exactly how much disruption there will be also to citizens here the government has warned them to make sure they have travel insurance if they're heading to european union c

i think it will continue to be so and that's why the likes of boris johnson the likes of present mccrone and merkel and others are worried because america does set an example even for them and it empowers their own democracies and when when trump wins it's its is the right the core right it's the racists in europe and other democracies that when and when you lose is they lose so this is all important to connect together for america to continue to be a strong democracy by the way that doesn't mean it has a sound foreign policy again right democrats don't mean good foreign policy these are not necessarily what in the same thing but for the last you know a bit of it is we are now seeing how democracy can defend itself we're seeing congress act we're seeing the judiciary act then we're seeing a new president come in and clean up parts are right some are on his side i thank you so much for joining us from doha plenty more head on the officer in his hour including an intern is encourage cling to the bali bombings that killed more than $200.00 people is freed from prison. in sport australia's f
