Thousands of people came to the plaster little public in paris to show their solidarity with the slain teacher some your party. It was here where large groups also gathered following the 2015 Charlie Hebdo attacks. But today people wore signs saying just we are saying no or im a teacher. Many came here to grieve but also to protest they felt compelled to speak out in support of the teacher and freedom of speech. The level before we are here to defend the republic liberty equality for eternity and secularism. But it was not just in paris communities came together right across the country to stand in defiance and remember the 47 year old history teacher. And yes if you do that we are in shock and now our focus is on the well being of our children for them its especially horrifying if it is all goes he was my teacher for 2 years he was very friendly one of the few teachers who would help us. You know as a secular country weve been under attack and now our Education System thats going too far from the. Party was on his way home from school when he was attacked shortly after police surrounded the suspect and ordered him to drop his weapon Authorities Say they opened fire on the suspect after he attacked police. The french government has called the killing an attack on french values in europe but. It is no accident that it is a teacher whos being killed by a terrorist. Because he wanted to kill the republic and the values that represents the enlightenment the possibility to make our children wherever they come from believers or nonbelievers whatever their religion to make them free citizens.

Who is a journalist in paris and it is good to have you with us there in demonstrations of solidarity rallies for the victim taking place across the country what more can you tell us about. Whats interesting is how many people have been attending in those demonstrations right lots of teaches and in cities there have a chart you. Do 2 hours from now and in the provinces as well and the shock is very clear heritable to what happened when the cartoonist or shall you do well slaughtered by terrorists 5 years ago and you really have a feeling that this is touch something deep in the nation because teachers and teaching children this is a this is an issue that transcends a great deal of other things and it brings the french together in ways that we havent seen recently. And do we have any more information about the attack her.

And it is a threat is of course proudly and publicly and officially a secular country is that however a source of tension with parts of the muslim community. It used not to be we had a Muslim Colony we had immigration in the fiftys and sixtys before and after independence from algeria morocco tunisia and of those generations the 1st generation integrated pretty well and then things started getting worse and you can really date the change of climate right at the beginning of the 1980 s. And that coincides with a push that was made by the extremist 100 sect. In saudi arabia who started practicing and it should stream the rhetoric be a form of islam and financing mosques that push that kind of the slum and in general trying for cultural and religious tension with the over the other communities you see it in france increase it years. Women wearing full Face Covering the book and called for a law in front against art but if you look at all sorts of pictures including during the algerian war you never saw women wearing head scarves and not book because it was not a tradition all of this is new and that is this kind of grooming in most extremist ways that has created tensions and promotes ok and it is there in paris thanks so much.

Bolivians are going to the polls today for a new attempt to elect a president and restart the countrys democracy following last years an old election 2 men are considered front runners one is carlos mesa a centrist historian and journalist who was president from 2003 to 2005 he came 2nd in last years disputed election the other name contender is luis r. C. He was a connery minister under able the leftist president to claim victory in 2019 was forced to resign amid widespread protests. Ballads and exile in argentina but looms large over this latest election. The front runner in bolivia his president ial race is leave things like he ally of former president abel maurice a Left Wing Socialist Party championed the cause of the impoverished Indigenous People who make up 2 thirds of the population. Were going to give the bolivian people what they need and. Economic stability. Political stability and social stability thanks a message that appeals to many after the turbulence of recent. Fable morrall its resigned almost a year ago in the wake of fine and street protests which broke out after he tried to gain a 4th term in office not normally allowed under the constitution. But he remains popular amongst the indigenous population and has endorsed luis thing as his successor many hope he can build on maraniss early successes in lifting millions out of poverty and helping grow the economy. The biggest challenge for the socialist is from centrist candidate parlous messer who has dismissed as a puppet of morality he says the former president is parata no for a tarion and now wants to govern through the back. Make no mistake were the only ones who can definitely defeat evil morality and louis c. Because actually is nothing more than mirages without morals. Whoever wins the election faces a huge challenge the landlocked mountainous nation is still one of the poorest in south america the countrys precarious Public Health system has struggled to cope with the coronavirus and bolivia is now facing its worst economic crisis in decades polls predicts the vote will go to a 2nd round runoff between messer and say that could put more pressure on able morale is a lie as his opponents would likely unite against him. And joining me now for more is to give you correspondent your 100 nearest pass to tell us how tight is this race. According to some polls luis are so the candidate of this party could win the election even today in the 1st the round but those polls given some around 3 percent of difference so at the end of the day there is not a big advantage over the 2nd main candidate in this race today we have been going around the city in the past and we have been saying thousands of people vote in play here in this poll center and a big participation could change what the polls have been saying the last few days so to answer just one sentence yes we have a very very tight election today. The last election just to go back to that in 2019 sparked some violent unrest are there fears that that could happen again this time around. Is contradictory because today we have we have seen a very civic very democratic day so far but the problem is that both candidates are very radical on one hand we have a kind of mess that hes sure that will have a 2nd round in this election and on the other hand we have our say who has said that he will he want to recognize any other result but a victory so today even when we know the difference that results i think one of these sides are going to be very upset and he could bring some violence and some toughness afterwards the results will be announced lets hope that doesnt happen once we get the results and there is a new president who is accepted as elected what will be his biggest challenge do you think. There are 2 main challenges one is the economy because of the pandemic bolivia is going through a very serious crisis 30 percent of unemployment and the economy has decreased 7 percent in these year but the biggest challenge is actually to unite the society believe that its historically very divided. I very divided society and that is the big president of this country. Ok you 100 mirrors in the past thanks for that.
