A controversial speech because it was being viewed by a by many as being patronized towards muslims but mach one also under pressure because he faces reelection in 2022 and he was under pressure from the right for not being seen to be doing enough to tackle terrorism in france and this was seen as an attempt by mccrone to pin his colors to the mast to say that he was tackling this issue in france Marine Le Pen from the far right is expected again to be running off against makana in those 2022 president ial elections hence this push towards the right but today frances council for muslim faith after this attack in is in nice it is says it strongly condemns the attack and it says that as a sign of mourning and solidarity with the victims and their loved ones the representative said i call on all muslims and friends. To council all the celebrations of the holiday of mollett this is the holiday the celebrations today to mark the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad so again mainstream muslims in france led by the Council Muslim faith strongly condemning of course the brutality of this attack in nice. Baronets method bring us all the very latest from the french capital thank you very much indeed some we will of course be keeping a close eye on this story for you as we wait see here from emmanuel micro who we understand is traveling to see nice now as you heard there from bernard the mayor of nice visited the site of the attack he called for a crackdown on what he called islamofascism. But. We are hurt to once again see that our city we are hurt to once again see that large city is taken like this and i want to tell the families of the victims of this barbaric attack that everyone in the community is by your side but i want to say that with exonerating the laws of peace in our country we will wipe out islamofascism well nice is no stranger to attacks with a series of them over the last few years 4 years ago a truck was deliberately driven into crowds celebrating bestie day 86 people were killed and hundreds of others injured and 20153 soldiers guarding a Jewish Community center were stabbed by a knife wielding attacker he was sentenced to 30 years in prison and in 2316 people were injured in a bomb blast at a local Government Office peter allen is a journalist in paris he explains how these attacks are being perceived. I have. Covered a lot of these terrorist attacks in paris and indeed in need some in power the moment of the todays terrorist atrocity is in need they are absolutely barbarous everybody condemns them but you have got to be able to discuss those terrorist attacks in one context and the nature of the way 5 to 6000000 or 20 muslims are treated as well and at the moment as an appalling conflation of the to decide dear if you speak out against attacks on is lamb and the many muslims who live in atlanta youre somehow supporting people that madmen who go and beheading people and this is the huge problem with it all so yes there is shock and outrage we all condemn this vile terrorism but on the other i dont think theres a nice appreciation of how muslims feel and plans about these constant attacks on their religion and this pop trail of muslims through these charging up had their cartoons i keep coming back to these cartoons because they are very high profile the moment a summit somehow being cratylus in outside a society just figures there to be mocked and laughed at if you put any other social group in that position and said the government is going to support these attacks on you know be an upcoming. That was peter allen bring us and alice us there from paris we will return to this story but 1st lets bring you some other news now and there is no law arming surge in coronavirus cases being recorded across europe forcing governments there to take drastic action politicians in spain are jutes votes on extending a states of emergency for 6 months and this would give regions the parents impose their own restrictions as winter threatens to bring more infections francis and pools in a month for National Lockdown from friday with no one allowed to leave their homes except for essential reasons germany is also ahead towards a national wachter in mustang all of the month of november chancellor Angela Merkel has warned that intensive care units are at risk of being overwhelmed and say you study in britain says cases there are doubling every 9 days government ministers say theyre hoping local measures will prevent nationwide restrictions and just 7 simmons rather brings us more from manchester.

It leaves Boris Johnsons government on the back foot although he says improved social benefit payments will provide for the poor on the ground Charity Workers working with rushford say the government isnt doing enough reflecting as a Charity Worker of over 30 Years Experience myself i am worried that perhaps the government is depending on the Charity Sector to you know fill the gaps perhaps tiny bit too much and that actually what we really need is more centralized leadership in coordination and Boris Johnson is facing pressure from within his own party 54. 00 m.

And. The coronavirus cases are climbing across the u. S. With the president ial election just days away half a 1000000 cases have been recorded in the past week alone with 26 states reporting record numbers it continues to dominate campaigning as mike hanna reports from Washington Joe Biden emerges from the voting station having cast an early ballot. Joining his opponent donald trump who voted in florida last week theyre not the only ones 6 days out from election day a record 70000000 americans have cast their votes early amounting to half the total number of ballots recorded in 2016 why didnt chose to stay in his home town holding a meeting with Health Professionals to discuss the ongoing pandemic.

Deferred medical care or alcoholism were going to open up pennsylvania were going to open up North Carolina and open up california that open up. The pandemic has dominated the Selection Process like no other subject and ultimately this vote may well turn into a referendum on how well or help badly the sitting president has responded my kind of his era Washington Well lets take you back to our top story this hour this breaking news of course of that knife attack in nice 3 people have been killed after an armed assailant attacked a church in this we understand one woman one of the women who were killed was beheaded the assailants of course has been shots and taken into custody and were also hearing that the french Prime Minister has announced that he is raising the security level for the french territory here is david chase or is in this and he joins us there on the line from nice. David youre on the scene what more can you tell us about the attack in the east whats happening where you are. Well the important thing is that all the streets have now been sealed off around the basilica of not saddam where the attack took place this is the biggest that Catholic Church here in meets and of course there are only a few worshipers there inside the church when the the nice man broke in and started attacking but the police are still here despite the fact that he was he was caught only 12 minutes later injured when he was arrested so the feeling here is still one of great shock to people of both so Wearing Masks because of the restrictions on 19 here in the city already amid a lot of that now on red alert any other terrorist incidents so there is a major crisis a double crisis if you like probably 6 years or it isnt a matter but i do understand that the french president and the internal minister are getting onto a plane and coming down to the city they will be visiting it this afternoon trying to bring some form of order structure to the city which is still very much in a state of shock all around me people just staring across the Police Barriers and not quite fully understanding whats happening on school therefore of course that there could be more developments and what quit while youre on the scene youve been seeing people die in there of course france is dealing with the coronavirus and national locked was in ones that take place from friday but then there are still people light on the street the city is not fully locked yet what sort of thing are people being saying to you. About this attack. Well the point is we mean weve got only a few hours before the curfew takes effect one month lockdown starts or the streets were very very busy here people getting their food intake elected for last was the last chance to be around without any major restrictions so it was especially appalling prevent to hear about this attack. They still clear of course so what do they do now do they go shopping as normal all the shops around here have been shot everything is closed and obviously going out into the city at this time are there any other attacks planned who else is here what else is happening because we had another mass attack in every york today so they do fear that there could be other plans here and thats why theyre wandering around with such concern on the faces. Of some of them pushing a pram most women got larger shopping baskets clearly theyre going going into into what shops are open to load up with the visions for the locker and its news that all of the nature of the attack david must have must have circulated among the crowds who were in nice going about their daily business i mean this is another attack in france at a time when weve already seen an attack against a teacher in the north of the country. Similarly. Barbaric and that he was decapitated is as well of course since 20152016 we have seen terrorist attacks in france of course being in the sights of these terrorists what are people to make of this so they expressing the same shock that here we go again this is i were being targeted again what kind of reaction has there been to the attack in terms of the barbarity of it in the sense that this is nice being targeted yet again. Yes i mean remember only 4 years ago the number of people who were killed on the sea from which is a new about 800 yards away from where im standing now in the lorry attack on people celebrating bastille day and the hard work displayed so this is a city not on used to emergencies and terror but i think as you said the brutality of using a knife a knife against women who were probably kneeling in prayer at the church has particularly shocked many people here so i think its a very sobering for them they are trying to come to terms with it but all the streets around this area around the pacific are still cut off by police many of them with. With drums with automatic rifles at the ready so they clearly are still on full alert waiting for the arrival of president michael thats the president macro is heading time there to see the scene of that attack is there anything else that people will be looking for in the area to come down in the. I think most of all theyre looking for reassurance most to so many people here with the kids on the street up seeing a little fresh air for a lock on the foley restrictions come in on the curfew at 9 oclock tonight. Trying to have got the last taste of normality managed particularly ironically the better for them because theyre saying once again the city has almost feels under siege air and the mayor of nice has also been speaking in the wake of that attack. He had suggested that this is a terrorist incident has there been any more details from the police from the authorities in these as to the state of the investigation what is likely to happen next have the names and attack earth all. No there has not been named. A or any indication what is conditional is a cop and he was injured during his arrest when he tried to seek 3 sanctuary in a little cafe about 12 minutes away from here. He added to his taxi injured somebody in the. Car to get away from him but asked is motive as to who is behind the attack how well it was denies whether the and your compass is of course is only going to be passed on to the president and the interior minister when they get here not so likely to be when perhaps we find the name of the attack and what is recalled was where he came from did it on the part trained to the country by car or is he from one of the local suburbs or were saying of course the questions that the people at least one answered ok at David Chaytor theyre bringing us the very latest from the grains thank you very much indeed thats david chase joining us on the phone from nice we have been getting reaction to this is the mayor of paris has responded in a tweets and goes said that her 1st thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones effect says and she tells the people of nice that they can count on the supports of the city of paris more reaction coming in internationally of course we have heard from Boris Johnson who has condemned this attack and the german chancellor Angela Merkel has also issued her condolences and lets get more now from Bernard Smith who is my for us in paris bernard we do understand that the french Prime Minister has been speaking and hes raised the terrorism threat level what more can you tell us. Yes young cast x. Has raised the terrorism threat level to its highest nationwide theyll be a meeting of the Security Council francis your council in paris on friday now the Prime Minister has said that the response to the attacks in nice france is response will be firm implacable and immediate they we know that a manual macron is heading down to nice to the scene of these attacks but theres also been a shooting in in province near avignon where a man with a knife who were told threatened passers by and then threatened the police was shot and killed by the police as he threatened them with a knife so there is. An increasing sense of perhaps nervousness it would have to say that it will anyway be much quieter on the streets of france from tomorrow because there is a nationwide covert related lockdown being imposed so there will not be as many people out on the streets would have been ordinarily so it will make it slightly easier for the authorities to enforce this new heightened level of security this highest level of the Terror Threat but nevertheless there is this increasing sense of nervousness in the country in this in the wake of these in the wake of these recent attacks and i have to say that at 3 oclock today the conference of french bishops says church bells will ring out across the country a conference of french bishops says that is symbolically 3 oclock eastern balik with the time of the death of christ so theyve asked all churches to take part in that nationwide as a mark of commemoration for those killed inside knocked down church in nice and bernard forgetting lots of ensign arsenal reaction coming in lots of condolences the dutch Prime Minister has told the french people youre not alone. Interest enough weve also had a response from the Turkish Foreign ministry hes attacked the hes condemned rather the attack in the east and says they stand in solidarity with the french people d will this be a comfort to the people of france k. Especially given the tensions between the leadership in turkey and in france. There was some criticism of turkey in the wake of the murder of samuel potsie the teacher killed on his way home from school because it was theres a perception that turkey was slow to condemn not to talk he did ultimately condemned the attack on the attack and the walls thats why its been a very Rapid Response from turkey now but its joined many other International Organizations in condemning this attack ok baronets method bring us all the ferry latest from paris for now thank you very much and that is it for me for this news hour my colleague its unfair nikken is standing by hell be with you right after the break with all the very latest from the g.
