2 main runners and the countrys 2 party system. Either this is r. T. International thanks for joining us. A trial relating to the 2015 paris terrorist attacks gets underway wednesday 14 people stand accused of involvement in the wave of terror that shook the french capital 5 years ago the attacks killed 17 people including 12 stuff members of the satirical magazine sharlee a bow out of the trial it reprinted the controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that made them the target of terrorists the french president of iran you might draw on his back the magazines right to do so. There isnt a freedom to blasphemy me which is attached to freedom of conscience im here to protect all these freedoms. According to a new poll most french people dont see what all the fuss is about regarding the cartoons of the prophet mohammed almost 60 percent of those surveyed said that Charlie Hebdo was right to run them however among french muslims its a very different picture almost 70 percent think the magazine was in the wrong on the show the duma ski takes a look back at how the attacks unfolded 5 years ago. It started here back in january of 2015 when your harvests forced their way into the offices of the satirical magazine surely 12 were slaughtered days later came another strike when hostages were taken during a siege at a kosher supermarket for it the man who carried out those horrific crimes in 2015 may long dead but now 14 alleged accomplice is set to face the French Justice system this trial is important not just for those who are still in deal the noise of terror attacks and growth but because it focuses on those accused of being part of a Larger Network that aided the her reflect on so. It is about individuals who are involved in the logistics the preparation of the events who provided means of financing weapons all this is essential to the terrorists action mode you know i dont want to consider them a secondary theyre not secondary theyre full complement you know when you provide a weapon its not to go and party providing a weapon to someone who is known by the police and Intelligence Services who has a background who is radicalized you dont give a weapon to that type of person that for some who survived is vital. Because you can see some accomplices have been arrested and we want to know what they did exactly what help they provided to the terrorists we want to know what really happened even if the terrorist wont be there at the trial i hope that those who worked with them to prepare the attacks help them financially will be punished for what they did thats the only thing we expect we want to know the truth because we dont know anything we havent heard anything for the past 5 years these attacks herald it in a wave of terrorism of islam is to violence in france wonder to seen hundreds killed in cold blood. The trial comes as frances interior minister warns the risks of terror attacks remains extremely high mr them and it is the internal threat within our rules which has become the most significant and the strongest the one which mobilizes the most attention of the Intelligence Services here how dumb i know that more than 8000 people remain on frances database of suspected islam its radicals who are considered to be a potential Security Threat he said the threat must continue to be the subject of full attention pointing to the resilience of networks such as Islamic State surely this is a terrible magazine his controversial cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammed provoked the initial attack releases a special edition marking the start of the trial the cover will show a montage of its most critical depictions of mohammed a move in defense of freedom of speech to one of those slain or will receive only incite even more islam a strange shell that devinsky r. T. Paris we spoke with the former head of frances elite Tactical Police unit rate he told us that the trial should have started much sooner. Because the same call psycho in this case has lasted more than 5 years even 5 and a half affecting only the accomplices not those who carried out the attack because they are alive and can testify if for example we draw parallels with the terrorist attacks in christchurch new zealand. Which happened a year and a half ago the process there has ended the punishment already determinative a year and a half it took there and in france 5 and a half years this is a real problem and i cant explain it or rather i can see there are reasons for this but thats not the point there is a serious problem here in france regarding the speed of the judicial system and the process for imposing criminal sentences i was ahead in the r. A. Id an elite Tactical Unit and experienced the attack in real time these events left a horrific imprint on france and historically our memory of it needs to be preserved. So im going countries are struggling to come up with a common approach to travel restrictions currently different european states are using different strategies to battle the spread of coronavirus hungry for example as just unilaterally reintroduced travel restrictions on all foreigners germany which holds the presidency of the European Council is convening a meeting on wednesday to address the lack of cooperation between states on to correspondent peter oliver reports. Coronaviruses providing some of the Biggest Challenges ever seen to the European Free travel area known as the shang in zone as Member States cast an eye on what their neighbors are doing to stop the spread of the virus and see whether they want to close down or remain open to travel germany says there needs to be a unified response a coherent response is crucial to avoid an fragmented approach as we saw early in the year and to preserve the integrity of the Schengen Area will vast sounds great but that unified response is needed because the Current Situation is reading rather chaotic Brussels Center of e. U. Power capital of belgium and an absolute nightmare when it comes to travel to corona those who want to come from brussels to germany which currently holds the e. U. Presidency need a negative corona test all 2 weeks of quarantine on arrival that includes all new and diplomatic staff who have quite a lot of business going on right now what with developing a united covert strategy attempting to stave off a crippling recession and break this which is still only resolved in raises more questions than answers the netherlands has pretty much the same rules france is a bit more laissez faire in its approach though belcher bans all parisians from entering denmark doesnt allow belgians in us all unless they have whats called a worthy purpose hungry isnt singling anyone out budapest says if youre not a resident in not getting in there is a risk of bringing the disease into the country most infections originate in other countries solidarity means common success you cannot be successful together if you are not success but successful one by one this is being seen by home gary and Prime Minister victor all bands. Not inconsiderable number of critics as another example of the use political and phone table or just not wanting to play well with others there which we underline very much is the need to replace blanket restrictions to Free Movement by more targeted measures which are limited in time or in geographical scope and meaning for example that you have a certain restrictions to visitors from specific areas and maybe the Border Closure i dont know is just another provocation of the European Union and i think mr or bunch of really really consider if he wants to be a member of the European Union if youre a member of the team you play by the rules the problem is that the rules werent drawn up with corona in mind and the virus has no regard for National Boundaries governments of Member States are put into a quandary whether to shut down and put freedom of movement on the back burner or to stick with one of the founding principles of the union and risk it becoming a vector of infection as we head towards an almost inevitable rise in covert cases in the autumn and winter months peter all of her r. T. Little trump has ignored calls to stay away from the violence stricken city of commotion arriving on tuesday he praised the police is visited has aggravated tensions between term supporters and black lives matter protesters and ice is the latest u. S. Hot spot for rallies against racism and Police Brutality after a black man was shot there several times in the park by officers last month 2 people were killed in the protests that followed the shooting the city suffering massive damage the personal property and businesses however when i asked the u. S. President to Police Violence is not systemic. I think the police do an incredible job. And i think you do have some bad apples i think youd agree every once in a while you see something and you do have the other situation to. Under this tremendous pressure in the they dont hear a little world. Toms main rival joe biden for his part posted a video of him and his running mate come a harris having a socially distance chat they discussed trumps alleged inability to deal with the covert crisis you know you think of all the people today who because of the negative way in which is president s walked away were dealing with the covert crisis gods the way its been responded to in the meantime Many Americans are getting fed up with the 2 party system and looking around for alternatives or burgeoning movement is the new Peoples Party which attracted thousands of americans to its Virtual Convention at the weekend elim open explains. Deep divisions in america and dissatisfaction with centuries of 2 party rule have forced Many Americans so look for alternatives on the heels of the democratic and Republican Conventions 8 Peoples Convention was held gathering the hundreds of thousands of disappointed left wingers the people must have a sister president we dont need a. Rallying cry for a new major party 20 year 10 days of the Peoples Convention feel that neither candidate really represents a choice for the working class instead they want political leaders who will stand up to wall street and the political elites long. As you. Can tell the criteria of integrity wall street was certainly delighted when joe biden was nominated as the democratic candidate perhaps this is because joe biden has admitted that not much is really going to change when speaking to his wealthy donors i mean we may not want to demonize anybody has made money no 1. 00 standard of living will change nothing would fundamentally change another theme at the Peoples Convention was the constant expansion of us wars and the expanding presence of u. S. Military forces overseas as soon as i take office i will ask congress to fully eliminate the defense sequester and will submit a new budget to rebuild our military it is so depleted we will prevail. Were going to have the Strongest Military weve ever had by far were increasing arsenals of virtually every weapon were making our military stronger and more powerful than ever before attendees of the Peoples Convention called for free college for all a Green New Deal and an end to mass incarceration they slammed joe biden for not supporting medicare for all even during the pandemic. With all due respect to medicare for all you have a single payer system in italy it doesnt work there and has nothing to do with medicare for all that would not solve the problem at all protests against systemic racism and Police Brutality and gulf the country now have both candidates throwing gasoline on the fire this president long ago forfeited a moral leadership in this country he cant stop the violence because for years hes fought management here supporters here supporters and they are your supporters and did shut a. Gentleman ho and killed him now with paint over the bullet. And i think its disgraceful Peoples Convention attendees voted at the end of their convention to form a Peoples Party that would sweep the us elections in 2021 and hopefully take control of the white house and the us congress by 2024 3rd parties have always existed in america but they generally get marginalized and pushed aside while the 2 major parties dominate the political stage however the Peoples Party is hoping to reverse that trend and become a new force in american politics seizing the spotlight it will mop and artsy new york media says that knowledge of the team and politics truly reflect the views of the majority of american voters. Its been a very very very long time since there was a new viable Political Party in the United States but if you kind of look at whats going on right now contemporarily now seems like the time for history to repeat itself and the bigger issue at hand here is just how far the. Pandemic has shown that we have a corporate coup for a government we have a Banana Republic we have a government that not only doesnt give a hoot about Public Opinion but works actively against it and this is by design republicans are only able to be as horrific as they are because of how ineffective democrats are similarly democrats are only able to be as ineffective as they are because of how horrific republicans are. Just not reflect the people who live here the largest voting bloc in the United States are people who dont vote and people who dont associate with either Political Party. Between palestinians and Israeli Soldiers in the west bank because Television Set up its plans to build a new Industrial Complex and they will bring you more on the story after the break. The world is driven by a dream shaped by our own person. Who dares thinks. We dare to ask. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy the infantry shouldnt let it be an arms race is often spearing Dramatic Development only mostly im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

Several people were injured during the confrontation Israeli Forces have been tasked with protecting heavy equipment including bulldozers these will be used to clear the way for the new Industrial Zone which will be located near the city of tal cant. Meanwhile this year the israeli authorities of intel fired the demolition of homes in East Jerusalem despite the covert pandemic and ongoing economic crisis in the area in many cases its actually residents who have to demolish that own houses since the cost of structural work is high israeli municipality in jerusalem insists palestinians homes are only torn down if built illegally without a special permit and whether human Rights Groups say that theres little real chance of obtaining such a permit for palestinians and locals told us they wont give up. As you can see i was forced to demolish my own home because of the fines i worked day and night to build this house and my family and then the israeli authorities surprised by calling on the 2nd day of aide telling us that the house had to come down they didnt even care about the holiday all the coronavirus situation the actions of the Israeli Government try to make us leave this land but no matter what we want to go.

Violent protests are once again erupted in the capital of lebanon over the appointment of the countrys burden and voice the new Prime Minister the demonstrations also coincided with the french president s visit to the country and i know my 2nd trip since the deadly port explosion in beirut in early august. In the boonies president michel aoun greeted mccrone at his residence on tuesday with an aerial display jets releasing smoke in the colors of the lebanese flag but despite the warm welcome the french leaders visit is drawn allegations of interference in the countrys politics france has been leading calls for reform in lebanon since the bay report explosion last month the tragedy itself was blamed on corruption and triggered the collapse of the government is now demanding credible commitments from officials including a new election political commentator gave us her views on the french role in lebanon. Strong interest is a very really short and small word to express the absolute engagement the french engagement in the News Politics if we are celebrating levanon and 70 years 100 years of founding levanon 70 years of being free and independent from the french mandate we are here having the french president with his planes telling us what to do im not saying thats bad or not bad im just saying that this is not an interest this is another mandate in the me king maybe a mild one with the visits with the constance visits of in mind when monk wrong because hes dealing with the same political elite were not talking about officials when he said sanctioning officials i dont think that this is the right way to see who should be saying sanctioning the elite because the governing body in lebanon is not might the warlords that have been governing from behind the offices the official offices of the government for the past 32 years this. Devastation of a country because when you really sanction the people who are in the government youre doing nothing because the people of bought the government controlling everything from institutions to public and private ones to the point to the airport etc you name it then what are you doing if youre not targeting these people but at the same time who are you to dargon these people if anyone should target them it should be us the people specially after the tragedy that happened the explosion the devastation that took over been in our midst or because of corruption and it might be because of other cause of russian is the main cause and by seen what mike brown has been doing for the past 2 visits you can see that france is just diving more and more into the lebanese politics under a certain point when the lebanese public will maybe not not take it in. Place because it asked her radical change to its terms of service uses a start over saving notification saying the social media giant will start removing or blocking any content that could expose the company to legal action. We can also remove or restrict access to content services or information if we determine that doing so is reasonably necessary to avoid or mitigate adverse legal regulatory impacts to facebook disturbing near addition to facebook terms of service that could be used to justify online censorship but if it were the governments using restrictive National Laws to order social media platforms to censor information critical of the government or more narky in violation of online freedom facebooks terms of Service Update translated to plain english will remove content not because it is incorrect misleading illegal or spreads dangerous misinformation but because removing it might help prevent us from getting caught allowing it did you see the new facebook terms of said this smells like election interference and censorship to me or as you just heard theres already been a Strong Negative reaction to the new rules which take effect on the 1st of october this all comes despite facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg repeated pledge not to censor political content. You know weve tried to distinguish ourselves out as. Probably being one of the Tech Companies that is the most protective of giving people a voice and Free Expression over all content is newsworthy we also wont take it down even if it would otherwise conflict with some of our standards it what i believe is that in a democracy its really important that people can see for themselves what politicians are saying that they can make their own judgments i dont think its right for a private company to censor politicians or the news in a democracy doesnt fit in with facebook practices in general which have been censoring and biased and completely draconian in terms of how they treat content and its very prejudicial of well they have a member been really for free speech and they have now with Facebook News intent to basically not only control news but own it it only say that somebody is threatening to sue them for a search for such and such a content so basically it is a car launch life to remove any content whatsoever without explanation and the users are now you know theyre a captive audience its very hard to move from one social network to another you have a whole network of friends and followers that you have that you are counting on communicating to and now they know that their virtual mom leave so they can basically theyre suggesting they can do whatever they want.
