The concerned person of russian nationality and of chechen origin benefited from a Refugee Status and lived in year ever in the year he was unknown to the Intelligence Services on a judicial level hes never been convicted but was known for cases of damaging public property and Gang Violence while still a minor l. Is leading up to that atrocity he went to the school and asked people to point out who sound real patsy was so it does appear that he didnt know the victim himself beforehand we also heard from the national antiterrorism prosecutor about the tweet that was released by the attack a jest of that account to take the tweets said i executed one of your hellhounds and they took the little mohammed thats a direct quote from the Anti Terrorism prosecutor now he also outlined the details of the individuals whove been arrested in connection with this terror attack they need to be parents and grandparents of the younger brother old the 18 year old assailant and also a parent older student 2 had apparently post debate here on facebook in the last few weeks calling for the teach it to be dismissed as a result of showing those care features of the prophet mohammed the muslim prophet to the cost for him and we end this then that in the days leading up to this decapitation they will many threats that were being made against at the 47 year old. Teacher weve been speaking to some of the parents all children who are also d in santa pattys cost to them of you. He asked Muslim Children to raise their hand and leave the classroom he did it my son told me he didnt do it to discriminate or to hurt he did it to preserve the children to not chilled them he explained id prefer if you left because im going to show a cartoon of the prophet of islam i dont want to shock you delegates will do and i think you see where its an attack here normally nothing ever happens here and now a teacher has been decapitated our children on safe we dont know what to do now the rector of the great great mosque here in paris has said that he was horrified by whats happened and he said that condemnation just isnt enough anymore that action needed to be taken and also it was culmination from the a model of the great mosque in. Whatever the thought the believe even the insult the caricature of the other nothing justifies the fact of killing the so it is the mortal capital soon to kill a person like that to cut his throat like that all because it showed caricaturists of the prophet they have been there been to terror attacks hate in france in the last 3 weeks and both of those attacks related to the images of the slim profit and it come as france is trying to do you the issue of separatism here their present medical outline was he wants to do the draft rudy to be presented before the end of 2020 he said that france would fight back against any form of separatism and that end any deviation away from frances secular values wouldnt be tolerated he talked about liberating from foreign influences we know that drove through is going to close a scrutiny all schools and associations serves religious communities and that arabic will now be true in mainstream schools rather than in mosques. That law is sent to you by the end of the year but it comes as polls have been giving us and in planning all walked many muslims feel one poll recently showed that almost 3 quarters of those who responded who are under the age of 25 said that they would put their religion above that of the republic this attack has only a huge fear now particularly amongst teaches you may have to give similar classes to that of several party when the talking about freedom of speech they wonder now if they too are in the firing line through doing that and this is he raised more questions about whats being done at the moment with that is actually enough to prevent this sort of radicalization that leads to such extreme brutality. Crowds of people gathered on saturday to pay tribute and offer their final respects among them students of the victim some of his colleagues held signs proclaiming jase we samuel l. The towns former mayor shared his reaction with r. T. To the gruesome killing. She took. It personally im shocked and angered because this is complete madness a teacher doing their job giving food for thoughts about freedoms and Republican Values he was beheaded its horrendous hes a victim of madness im even more shocked that this college is one i opened when i was the town mayor and it had a good reputation working there was nice and it was located in a neighborhood without any problems or violence its time for us to take a tough stance on the issue on how people intrude into from well being deemed as refugees and surprisingly given resident cause to 2030 i dont think that this act of terror is a crazy mans deed but a premeditated act at this point we must prosecute for any violation of the republics laws in particular for the pressure being put on teachers and journalists to keep them silent. Paris based political analyst nicola markovitch believes the deadly incident highlights the refugee crisis unfolding in france because too early to see what type of check was done with these refugees come into france what kind of check does france do how would they do it to see their background or these people coming from what are their beliefs or what are their motivations why are they coming here. Do they belong to any specific organizations i think this definition that france does not do that in any case it doesnt do it correctly and its hitting people which shouldnt be here if you are going to let 20300000 people into your country illegally each year and im not even if youre talking about people coming illegally what is your crowd are you going to help them integrate are you going to do you have jobs for them are you going to help them turn french are you going to help them do great in the culture to appreciate the culture and the culture there definitely is a major 1st number one problem which is the integration 20 people are coming in and theres not enough means to help them integrate but also the. Muslim community as a response has. Can these people doubt it has to show that theres another way to use them or else we know small minorities take over me georgies and then this is where the future of this stuff could be if people within the Muslim Community dont do anything. Now on the asian continent a new ceasefire has come into force between armenia and azerbaijan one week since the previous truce was agreed to in moscow however it was far from water tight with powerful explosions rocking the capital of the disputed north nagornokarabakh region on saturday air raid sirens were heard all throughout the night with rockets hitting areas surrounding the city we spoke to locals who witnessed the bombardment yet all of those knowing you but i was a talk and lost consciousness when i came to i heard yelling open the door and saw my neighbor ive never seen such shelling although ive been here through 2 was that ever that there were sirens all night who could not sleep we were bombed but were kind of used to that it does not feel as threatening as it once did we live in a basement thats why its not that scary. We had to pull out when i woke up i didnt even know what to wear and where to run in the morning and i came out and saw that the road had been heat broken laws was everywhere that was very scary. The karbala conflict stretches back more than 3 decades and although the region is legally part of azerbaijan its populated mainly by Ethnic Armenians in an interview with Russian Media the leaders of both countries outlined their positions well. There is a red line for us and this is the right to selfdetermination of the people of mcgovern occur and that old times there are many of us ready for such a compromise but there are by john refused to sign agreements because of their bridge on did not want and does not want to accept that right. Under no circumstances can the territorial integrity of azerbaijan be violated under no circumstances will as a vision consent to the independence of Nagorno Karabakh we believe that in the future the armenian and the azubuike johny communities should live peacefully and coexist on the territory of nagornokarabakh fighting it flared up recently in a number of regions throughout the area with both sides accusing each other of launching attacks don of reports on how life has been affected for those living in the conflict zone this place could very easily be mistaken for the front line of Nagorno Karabakh but it isnt its a small sleepy village of. Also commonly known as red bazaar and last night it was battered by a very fire standing in one of the craters left by the bombardment its about 8 me says in diameter the girl who was about 7 oclock i wanted to park the car in the yard the cluster bombs had been dropped there. The castalian explodes and splinters everywhere with a radius up to a few 100 metres today for example my house wasnt damaged but our neighbors windows were smashed someones roof was broken already used to it. Like all villages of nagornokarabakh red bazaar resembles a ghost town. Its not the 1st time that its been bombed in this escalation theres also a monotonous rhythm made by the sounds of artillery fire coming from over the horizon but those who have chosen to stay are saying that they have gotten used to this new and gruesome soundtrack to their lives he says through the kind of life can that be during war everyone hides in basements even if a bomb drops a kilometer away the houses shake we know that its close to us of course its scary especially when the bombs dropped nearby but im not going to leave anyway theres no way of saying for sure who is in control of this heavily contested region which is considered to be the gateway into new go in a cab back thing is its one of the biggest problems about covering this conflict the lack of opportunities to independently verify the claims of both sides but one fact is certain the fighting there is absolutely brutal despite the ceasefire that was announced a whole week ago but as of now theres no mechanism of enforcing the truce on the ground until this mechanism is implemented the fighting woman sees by itself and we get done of reporting from the going to karabakh see the conflict has again spilled beyond the convoy in the confines of the disputed territory azerbaijan claims 13 people were killed during shelling in the early hours of saturday morning more than 50 people are reportedly injured in the azari city of gunja with residential buildings hit as well countrys president states it was a war crime and has vowed to respond militarily a local journalist from azerbaijan sent us this report. The 2nd biggest city is. 60 kilometers far from the fault line came under attack of armenia as a result of war to certain see who is were killed including children and all then 40 others injured more than 20 houses were. According to national. Missiles fired at ganja initially. It is swore still there all could sloans from armenian side there is a dental areas around i am after the midnight obviously residents were sleeping here we can see their fragments. This has been consecutive from attack only. To lives of 11 residents many Dozens Injured as a vision of government officials together with the diplomatic corps today was it did the see this well they held their prison briefing according to their vision officials armenia continues to call it war crimes even. Declared mosco cease fire. Murder torture and rape all crimes that undercover agents in the u. K. Would not be prosecuted for under a new bill thats passed the house of commons it still needs approval from parliaments Upper Chamber though and a revision intended to limit the list of crimes was rejected the amendments would give the Intelligence Services the protections they need but stop short of giving them the card blanche authorization to carry out the crimes in the name of the state they have happen too often in the past the bill in question was introduced last month and seeks to permit certain criminal acts by authorities in the u. K. If theyve done it in order to stop undercover identities from being made public the police Intelligence Services and armed forces will all be covered however the government insists it doesnt grant a license to kill political commentator Anthony Webber fears without any amendments british citizens will be at risk. Bulstrode happens if this. Extra hour is given schoolies Government Social services so this should notice. What will he do so its not shouldnt be hard to save for the hospital. My physicians are amendments so did the they were recesses of this country. Because this is. A very well you. Grab your state power. With no no accountability and whos very old school the government says here is the router as he chewed the tops of the rivets he use and if there is a grease in the race that would be very not but it was its. A pandemic has battered new york with mass unemployment and a spike in crime and its the local government thats quickly becoming public enemy number one more on that after the break. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race based on often very dramatic developments only im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by thinkers and of those great. The dangers syncs. We dare to ask. Welcome back to the program now coronavirus cases are once again surging in the United States friday saw 70000 new infections recorded the highest figure since july and President Trump has laid the blame squarely at the feet of the Governor Andrew Cuomo new york it has been the worst of the financial country 40000 deaths new york has done very badly hes done a bit really good job cuomo new yorks governor however claims a lot of progress has been made and the situation has stabilized but just like the trumpet ministration many blame the local authorities for the chaos of the past few months and is across the story. They call it the big apple the city of dreams the capital of capitalism but 7 months into the pandemic new york city is not doing too well and local government is catching the blame its incredible how little we have learned in 7 months well they better start learning pretty fast at this point weve seen gun violence on the rise rapidly the f. B. I. And the u. S. Attorney are looking to intervene my perception is is that this city in certain other pockets has become an environment which is too permissive for armed criminal offenders to walk the streets at the peril of the public in addition to that weve got the new York City Police department they are bracing for massive underestimate following the president ial election this november 3rd will be one of the most highly contested president ial elections in the modern era we should anticipate and prepare for protests growing in size frequency and intensity leading up to the election and likely into the year 2021 broadway is staying shut down until summer of 2021 lots of lost jobs and lots of lost profits furthermore the Historic Roosevelt hotel has been forced to close there are no tourists to book their room now other hotels have been used to house Homeless People and keep them off the streets during the pandemic a Public Health measure however residents of those neighborhoods are not thrilled about their new neighbors and they are suing the city the city has reacted recklessly and so radically by repeatedly uprooting these individuals based on political pressure hospitalizations for covert 19 are now starting to rise once again local officials have a lot of problems on their hands and for every problem they solve 10 more seem to pop up they look mop and r. T. New york. Israel pushed forward this week with plans for thousands of settlement homes in the west bank arabic nations have slammed the move and it comes less than a month after israel bahrain and the United Arab Emirates agreed to normalize relations the netanyahu governments insistence on moving forward with settlement activity to satisfy the extreme right wing reflects its rejection of the solution and even its commitment to destroy the chances of achieving it in the future the expansion plans of the biggest since 2012 according to the israeli n. G. O. S peace now israel claims it has historical and biblical ties to the west bank where around half a 1000000 Israeli Settlers live alongside a nearly 3000000 palestinians earlier this year israel agreed to freeze the formal and its a sion of the west bank under the Us Middle East plan spearheaded by President Trump however palestinians claim the deal greenlights israeli settlement activities meanwhile un human rights observers are still to being denied access to israel and the palestinian territories back in february israeli authorities announced the country was suspending ties with the uns Human Rights Watchdog accusing it of continuous bias this is what the organization had to say in response the absence of International Stop from the occupied territories a highly irregular situation will negatively impact the knowledge billeted to carry out a mandate we continue to who but this situation will be resolved soon and were actively engaged with various relevant and concerned parties do that and we spoke with the director of Human Rights Watch in the region all marshak here who israel to deported last year on charges of supporting a boycott of the jewish state. This is clearly being done as an effort to muzzle documentation and advocacy around israel systematic repression of palestinians and i should say its not a one off issue i was deported myself after being more than 2 and a half years based on the ground as Human Rights Watch is israel palestine director based on our work on the ground as well and its part of a long standing trend and its part of a sustained assault on the Human Rights Movement while the us has historically always shielded israel from accountability and turned a blind eye to. This Us Administration is taking it a step further and even giving the green light to these abuses to continue to come to no surprise that we see settlement activities at unprecedented levels historically and continued efforts to entrench this discriminatory reality.
