Just past midnight here at r t internationals headquarters in moscow im donald quarter bringing you your latest news stories from around the world welcome to the program. Now raids on suspected islamic radicals have been carried out across france in the wake of fridays brutal beheading of a teacher they come as part of a crackdown promised by the interior minister. More than 80 investigations for online hatred have been opened arrests have already taken place since yesterday since this Morning Police operations have taken place and will take place in the coming days weve also decided that around 50 associative structures 51 to be exact will see a certain number of visits from state services all week long and several of them at my suggestion will be dissolved in the council of ministers meanwhile thousands gathered in paris on sunday paying tribute to the teacher and denouncing the incident as an attack on the countrys secular values. Have been taking place across france hundreds gathered to loosen well decrying violence and supporting free speech and National Tribute to the teacher is planned for wednesday heres how events unfolded. Uncle said one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compassion it was the victim of an islamist terror attack. And this is the concern person of russian nationality and of chechen origin benefited from a Refugee Status and lived in you ever a leader he was not known to the Intelligence Services on a judicial level hes never to be convicted the laws nodes the cases of damaging public property and Gang Violence while still the mind of. The fuel he asked Muslim Children to raise their hands 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 shield them he explains id prefer if you left because im going to show a cartoon of the prophet of islam i dont want to shock you. Im even more shocked that this college is one i opened when i was the town mayor working there was nice and it was located in a neighborhood without any problems oh violence i dont think that this act of terror is a crazy man staying at a premeditated act. Meanwhile 13 french regions have announced a plan to issue a book to schools to pick the most prominent religious and political characters collected from the press and. Local authorities aim to involve the ministry of education so the book is eventually available to all students across the country the aim is to promote secular french values and counterterrorism expert Chris Phillips believes the french government needs to decide where it stands regarding the sanctity of some religions which is going to go one way or the other you go to either accept. All that some religions are sacrosanct you cant talk about them you cant deal in them or you just say look this is the this is the values that we live in the next country either accept it or dont live here and and to some extent i think the french you know i think theyre quite strong on this and. Whilst it may inflame tensions to some extent i think some people have got to make a choice do they believe in freedom of speech really are freedom to religions of all kinds all do they want to live somewhere else and i think thats the situation that france could be coming to very quickly. Counts under way for president ial elections in bolivia exit polls indicate a win for luis are say the countrys former economic economy minister and prominent supporter of the ousted president evo morales who is now praising the new changes in the country. The bolivian people have given a lesson in democracy and perseverance people have managed to resist the coup a defacto government to massacres and administration of the pandemic marked by inefficiency corruption several election postponements and the worst economic crisis in our history. Well it seems many bolivians had grown weary of almost a year of endless protests and changes we heard from some reactions from them. You know we want to leave peacefully without roadblocks and protests and a new leader for a new believe. We want a president who helps the countryside the poor people we dont want any right wingers. I feel happy happy because we want economic stability we want peace in bolivia we want bolivia to be reflected abroad again as a growing country. Earlier arties maria for national discuss the details with my colleague and your former. This whole election is one big and unfortunately very big to irony that to believe in people paid a very high price for their winning candidate mr r. C. A. Used to be finance minister on the morale is that hes from his party from his team hes one of his closest people i mean supporters and that comes after almost a year of violent turbulence political repression and complete nightmare to be honest the country has been living in after the previous president ial vote the one moral this one was very aggressively in loudly announced as it was in november and some studies show that november became the 2nd deadliest month in terms of civilian deaths caused by state forces since believe it became a democratic country 40 years ago. So the organization of american states and known as as was basically lead in this whole complaint of black in last years elections after 84 percent of the votes were counted there was an unofficial tally saying that mr morale is. Around 46 percent of the votes and he got an 8 point lead but after. The all the votes were counted it was all over there was an official report finally and that lead increase to 10. 5 points the opposition was saying that weve seen a sudden spike in favor of this right at the end of this election therefore result bristly rigged but there were there was an excellent it was a very simple explanation the air is reporting later were more for all morale as in this is why when the last 16 percent of the vote. Counted that lead increased so dramatically and by the way that may have been anybody seen that happen in other countries with similar systems like United States of america for example in america by the way was very quick to support the opposition and to welcome what they describe as peoples fight for justice and democracy lets take a listen we salute the courage and strength of oblivion people who have protested against a government trying to steal an election we reject this ridiculous claim that the legal modification of a fraudulent election is somehow a coup all countries deserve free fair transparent and grab elections the organization of american states report on believe year makes it clear that believe ins were not given this chance to stop the violence hold elections and the work with the journey the new years and the Transitional Government to bring democracy back. Bring democracy well ok bolivia seems to have democracy now but thats not how many people have described the last 12 months to Human Rights Watch they issued a report just this september and the lies in state in the time when the interim government in believe there was in charge of the country and there is a he can you list of violations like many examples of how not good and democratic it was and this is why now mr r. C. Says that after 11 months of this nightmare people off believe they know better what the true democracy is to the new press during last years elections some people took to the streets calling for democracy and now 11 months have passed and we dont have democracy and even worse we have a totally destroyed economy so people can now compare the work of our government during 14 years in the socalled work of this interim government believe it is now coming back to where it was back in october last year but with so many losses we destroy the economy with dad you know and the question now i think is whether those responsible for pushing the country there will ever ever respond. Across now live to Daniel SchorrSenior Research fellow at the council on Hemisphere Affairs thank you mr shaw for joining us now it was just about a year ago that ever morales the former president was ousted from power and his opposition had said that the elections that brought him there were fraudulent but now according to these exit polls it looks like his party the movement for socialism is quite popular are we seeing the return to power and do you think the results are surprising. Exactly donald b m a s the Movement Towards socialism never ceased to be popular but the coup mongers the neo liberal forces with the support of pale trump the pentagon the state department here in washington and in the right wing forces across the continent head the upper hand this is an amazing victory for the overwhelmingly indigenous the vast majority of bolivians who are indigenous but we should not expect that this political victory translates overnight into an economic victory. The right wing forces supported by the us are going to do everything to push back against the m. E. s against me in the peoples victory so this is going to continue to play out in the course of the next hours days months and years. Right well last year when the right wing forces were attacking the Election Results that brought ever more alice to power we also saw that washington was that going their criticisms do you think what do you think that theyre going to say about this one. W. This comes as bad news to the ruling class in the United States because with the pendulum shifting back towards the left towards the end sign perilous part of the forces of bolivia this gives more momentum to a blockade cuba blocks nicaragua in minutes well we have big elections coming up next year in brazil weve seen what theyve tried to do in ecuador with a campaign of law fair to try to say that Rafael Correa is a criminal he cannot come back to his homeland so what was called in generations past the cold war is still ongoing this global class struggle is claiming out in bolivia in argentina in chile we saw these massive protests yesterday so it will continue to play out as i said yeah well another interesting thing is that the opposition to the movement for Socialism Party even gave up before the official Election Results came out are you surprised about that. Yeah makes me think they have other tricks up their sleeve to hear and i mean its a come on show enemies can see defeat they could have tried to drag it out as the right wing media was doing but it was such an overwhelming popular victory far seeing the m. E. s in the people of able more dollies and what theyre calling. The soul of bolivia and the im a language that i think the right wing they dont know what to do right now of course they want to win with the facade of democracy but maybe they wont concede power maybe theyll be another coup the military is very divided in the Police Forces theres a lot of reactionaries within so again this is not just an overnight victory for the people of bolivia have sacrificed so much in the past 11 months and theres no reason to think that theyre not going to have to defend their gains in the past 14 years when and what i was 1st assumed power in 2006. Right well weve talked a bit about the parallels between the elections that are taking place now and those from last year but how would you assess the rule of the interim government that that was taking place over this past year. I would assess it is the mismanagement of the. 19 pin demick on one of the worst years fog bolivia since the historic victory it would alice in 2006. Of course the vast resources of bolivia we could have called this less use cool lithium cooler gas cooler water cooler because of course thats what these fascist forces these new little forces based in santa cruz thats what theyre there after there was a host a Session Movement back in the me too thousands so this is an important victory but we should remain cautious in the people of the world visually in industries to continue to support a genuine populist democracy an economic democracy a social democracy and a political democracy in bolivia. Daniel shaw the council on hemispheric Affairs Thank you very much for joining us and giving us your expert input thank you. Now just a day after a new cease fire came into force between armenia and Azerbaijan Air raid sirens have been heard in the capital of the disputed region of nagornokarabakh yang could barely dried on the new truce agreement when both sides accused each other violations and follows a similar pattern seen after the 1st fire was reached just after the 1st cease fire was reached just over a week ago and fighting isnt just limited to nagornokarabakh either as one of reports. Its hard to come across an unfamiliar face on the streets of step on a new go in a cab x. Largest city having spent weeks here it seems like everyone knows everyone but half of the population has been displaced many have chosen to flee far less taking their chances in choosing to stay its been more than a week since the 1st ceasefire was signed in moscow and throughout this whole time the exodus continued the truce held only on paper this is one of the worst scenes of destruction weve witnessed instapundit during the whole time that weve been here basically a whole half of the house has been demolished by a huge bomb it didnt come from the drone thats for sure because the drone strikes dont leave craters as big as the one over there here it seems used to be a small storage unit or some Storage Facility judging by huge pile of firewood over here instapundit hurt alone this is only one of dozens of houses raised by the bombs of truce the destruction scales up across the region every major town and many villages have also been shelled so when the 2nd ceasefire was announced locals here took it almost like a mockery he meaning you most of there is no way the conflict can be solved peacefully a man is did live here so here in this very few years they had to somehow resolve the conflict. No you still go at that with what can i say about people who have no idea of humanity it is a pity that we are dealing with barbarians and terrorists i think that the ordinary is if you dont the civilians do not want war just like we dont want to know but if their leader wants their people to die let them die our boys will defend our homeland. The fighting has long spilled beyond the borders of Nagorno Karabakh the ceasefire didnt say visit every cities from the shelling to notably bombs rained down on the civilian areas over here by jan 2nd city of ganja just like armenians as they are by journeys share a religious belief that nagornokarabakh belongs to them. Regardless of the ceasefire the armenians continue to attack us they shout civilians in monkey cheer and countries around the world turn a blind diety these violations our full nations should not tolerate this but they openly support them both ready to exterminate each other if need be and the diplomatic effort however large it might be can only do so much because done of reporting from the going to karabakh. Control over nagornokarabakh has been contested for decades with the conflict bursting back into life at the end of september although the region is legally part of azerbaijan its populated mainly by authentic armenians as weve heard by john the cities have also come under shelling despite all the recent agreements a local journalist brings us the latest from the region of akbar. At midnight its true to the minute jane truth came into force how will people in the wall song tata and region not relax while stime cease fire was broken after call for an hour or so close by reading inside that residential houses in south of what we were in taught to the seas for was broken again starting on the south feasibly and jabber allusions in the Late Afternoon ive done came under fire. I am a soldiers mother when i heard the news about the ceasefire i called my relatives and complained about this decision we must go to the very end and liberate all our lands we fear nothing living near the product line and knock them out. We believe in our soldiers and president if they say this should be peaceful resolution then we do not want this war we want our lands back no matter whether its at the negotiating table or through war. I was fighting against armenia in the early ninetys at that time i mean ians also proclaimed ceasefire but never observed them and occupied New Territories when we want to expect to get its the same thing now they talk about a ceasefire to shoot at civilians we live in. The ceasefire didnt even start there is no ceasefire i havent seen it. In the war against the mob italy is helping its taken a significant chunk out of the mafias armor after arresting scores of the legend bosses more on that after the short break. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe from. Isolation for community. Are you going the right way or are you being so. Direct. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. For a mate in the shallowness. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Welcome back to the program now and a quick look at some world news making updates violence erupted at a protest in chile marking one year of antigovernment rallies. A church more than one century old was torched as firefighters were battling the flames the steeple collapsed when crowds strengthened police moved in with Water Cannons to break up the protests meanwhile in the czech republic. Was around 2000 football and hockey fans protested in prague at the governments decision to suspend sporting events for 2 weeks in response to rising covert infections police used force to disperse the demonstrations and at least 20 people were said to have been wounded. Its the holiday when ghosts and ghouls come out to play but not in one part of italy thats because hollowing celebrations have been cancelled overcoat it. Is this immense idiocy this immense stupid american extravagance that weve imposed into our country thats is how doing is a monument to imbecility well since we have to face the reality and since i feel that people are already getting ready to have everything will be closed on halloween from 10 oclock and i will be a curfew. We took to the streets to see how italians feel about the new restrictions. But in my opinion its stupid to think that closing all the nightclubs that will stop people from gathering because we can regroup in another place that i agree to is deluca even before covert in my view its a pretty silly holiday where catholics you know this americas liberation is not appropriate to me and so you know says by god i think its a mistake halloween has become a good holiday here in italy and it helps the economy its a good thing for the city for young people that want to have fun and for everyone. I think that we can avoid these holidays because of the coronavirus these are useless holiday so you agree with that honestly im not sorry for it we can stay home during this phase maybe next year we can go out and enjoy this holiday if there is a vaccine. More than a dozen suspected mobsters have been arrested incessantly it comes after a businessman secretly recorded an alleged mafia extortionist trying to force him to Pay Protection money. Well coming from. The business man who filmed the video refused to pay and confronted the alleged extortionist with photos of to prominence a silly and judges murdered by the mafia the businessman is among 13. 00 a legit racket victims who have spoken out. You know this whole little stuff the in 2018 id already been threatened by the matthew as it comes off for rocket money you know in the same neighborhood where i work now but in another one called capital one of the matthews debt collectors had been around more than once threatening the workers and myself as well back then i filmed everything with a hidden camera a mask asking me for money i turned it over to the police and so the investigation began this time around it gave me some satisfaction to do it for those who are victims of the matthew and have never been able to fight back for lack of coverage because there was simply afraid. There are an estimated 94. 00 mafia families in sicily they mostly operate in italy self historically the poorest part of the country their main areas of expertise include extortion Drug Trafficking and illegal gambling. Im afraid of course there is fear obviously what i did the 2nd time im exposed to my family at risk and thats no trivial matter i always thank the polemic police they are fantastic i feel protected by them because even if i dont see them i know they are there i feel protected but i have to say its not the Police Escort that makes the difference protection must come from the Citizens Protection comes if we all become the majority if we are not the minority even the police cannot provide protection and for she thats what history teaches us given all the victims of the mafia. The. Controversy over Transgender Athletes should be allowed to compete against female competitors has been reignited comes after british t. V. Personality piers morgan applauded the decision to ban trans women from taking part in an International Womens rugby how can they even be a debate about transgender women playing womens rugby its so old this leigh wrong unfair and equal and dangerous to women want to smaller less powerful female biological board we all know this woman will get seriously hurt to this insanity that prevails the approach taken by world rugby shows a fundamental lack of understanding of what it means to be a trans athlete inclusion matters moral do rugby has an acted there discriminatory policy preventing transgender participation in their events this would be a better word and the eliza ship shown by the womens Rugby Community is a mans and heart warming for that im going to leave their voices its all comes after world rugby the sports global governing body ruled there were safety and fairness concerns about letting Transgender Athletes participate it said women would be putting their health at risk competing against someone who was born male. Since Transgender Athletes were allowed in the 2004 Olympic Games theyve been there have been a number of cases where trans athletes competing against women have been disqualified or stripped of their medals we put the issue up for debate lots of different athletes will have advantages because of various physical attributes why should we single out the potential advantages a trans women have while ignoring the other advantages that other women have that its not fair their men biologically men born as men there are men theyve got a huge advantage over women the people at the radical mens movement in trans are the militant theyre trying to demean women and theyre trying to devalue the female sport its unfair its wrong and it shouldnt be allowed trans women. Theres no real Scientific Evidence that they have an advantage what science there is is disputed under degree advantage is very minimal because you know put a man in a show biologically born man into female piers morgan is absolutely right this time will get mass injuries its a ludicrous suggestion of course there is a risk of injury but there are rules and also among fans will rock you close some are small some are large already women are a risk of injury this is quite an aggressive sport the world order to be union is against this england its the English Rugby Union who are being really politically correct in senate show k.
