Of the world. For most a year after the u. S. Backed down rest brought down bolivias president evo morales the people take back their voices choosing one of his former ministers as their new leader. Hello and welcome you are watching r. T. International with me and its great to have you with us. The french government has shut down a mosque accused of inciting violence the place of worship outside paris that posted a video calling for a campaign against a history teacher after he showed caricature walls of the Prophet Muhammad to his class well in october the 16 some your party was beheaded by a terrorist they mostly to early apologize for posting the clip but denounce the closure. Everybody knows that i am a socalled moderate muslim that i called for tolerance open mindedness ive got the impression that they just need to throw someone under the bus meanwhile some french t. V. Channels have started airing the controversial cartoons in defense of free speech and dozens of raids have already been carried out against suspected islam ists but the ordinary french muslims now say they will bear the brunt of the governments response shall the depends kaye reports. In the wake of some real pattis gruesome murder the french state wants to show that its being quick to act police have raided the homes of islam is activists engaged on social networks more than 80 investigations for online hatred have been arrests have already taken place since yesterday around 50 associative structures will see a certain number of visits from state services all week long and several of them my suggestion will be dissolved in the council of ministers this latest terror attack is only likely to harden the state starts and those already lead to more accusations that muslims need to take cover or are calling me asking me whether i was raided or not so we have wished the poor into that everybody is scared that there would be 5 or 6 oclock in the morning i fear that you know i will have to maybe be careful of what i post and my freedom of speech as a human rights activist is literally on the balance among still going on as asians in the crossfire n. G. O. S including the collective against islamophobia in france also known as c c i f it describes itself as being Human Rights Organization Whose Mission is to combat islamophobia but frances interior minister says the group is linked to a parent to launched a fatwa against teacher samuel party which it thought led to his assassination it received state age we have evidence to say that it is an enemy of the republic c c o f says it is the victim here since yesterday we have been the target of Death Threats and a companion of hatred that demands the dissolution of. Face through so many smears of incredible indecency given the context our team is now receiving growing support thank you from the heart raids following terror attacks are commonplace but for some of these purges dont target the root. Of the problem this program be so widespread were talking to people literally thousands of people who are would be deemed to be in some way. To terrorist groups in the u. K. In paris in france belgium and other countries so theres just an enormous number of people on the free speaking out want to. Be from the extreme and that will do some good but this is a problem i assume thats going to go on for a long time to least a generation islam islam in france was already in the spotlight in recent weeks president emanuel might call that outlying details of a new law aimed at protecting frances secular republic from foreign influences but cohen said a minority of the countrys estimated 6000000 muslims were in danger of forming around to society and accusations followed that he was trying to a price is low in france. Associations to defend the rights of muslims who are bought off by microns police in short the message is muslims were going to screw you up. While a french unanimously condemned the attack which led to the beheading for professor yesterday some take the opportunity to settle their scores by slipping into the most abject islamophobia the interior minister says its now possible to see how political islam has joined forces with radical islam and ultimately is leading to terrorism many muslims may now feel that they are under attack with suggestions that samuel pattis death opens the floodgates to a political trial but those organizations say they struggle against islamophobia. Otty paris. France and germany have the largest muslim populations in europe and are both grappling with similar integration issues as evidenced by of recent case in germany it involves a lebanese doctor who has been denied citizenship because he wouldnt shake hands with a female official if the applicant refuses to shake hands for gender specific reasons which are incompatible with the constitution there is no integration into german Living Conditions well the man who has not been publicly named moved to germany 18 years ago he completed his medical studies there and now works as a senior physician and is that is the ship test he got top marks in german history and values but a court described his refusal to shake a womans hand as indicative of fundamentalist views the doctor denies that saying he simply vowed never to touch any woman other than his wife well this isnt the 1st time that a traditional greeting has courted controversy a muslim couple was similarly denied swith 6 than ship again for refusing handshakes for members of the opposite sex official also they showed a lack of respect for gender equality but not all cases go the same way for example a muslim woman in sweden was compensated when her Job Interview was cut short because she wouldnt extend her hand to a man we had some contrasting views on the issue. The. Procedure just showed that there was a problem with the integration process of this person and you cannot look into peoples hearts and minds but that was a clear signal that he still is here to a totally different belief and value system than the one which is the absolute didnt germanys since centuries and therefore i find it correct that they took this as a signal syrians and rejected the naturalisation of the live in his person rainer this is a cultural and political process and we have freedom of belief and conscience and youre right there are limits to that i agree and i help governments in this country and elsewhere to tackle radicalization extremism terrorism charges for decades just trust me. If somebody doesnt shake your hand and he is carrying out his functions as a doctor treating patients on a regular basis its not the end of the world hes a contributing taxpaying a society and we should have tolerance if this is a sign of dad in chanterelle he regards the women as a seductive as a danger for his own behavior and then this shows that he has brought it with himself really an outdated view of women and this will create further clashes in the future of this is a part of our culture of life that she didnt need change in no way so who cannot accept this culture should simply not work here or long for this it doesnt ship of such a country you dont get to tell muslims what this messed up version of a star is at least the it really has put policies in place to protect not what is going on is about the truth what its lost in smaller liberties and balanced. Principles general principle democrats if you want to pretend that you need to add here to some basic value systems. Otherwise the society will fall apart and in the end all the nation states will fall apart and maybe this is in the interest of many people but in my dreams and its normal is that we should ensure europe to conserve society in that complexity that we already have in their colorful ness and keep them as open and really tolerance basis without radical views. Just a couple of days after being signed the 2nd choice between armenia and azerbaijan seems at risk of collapse fighting continues across the disputed nagornokarabakh region spilling beyond its borders as well local journalist elmira most adult desire day was caught up in shelling while reporting from outside an azerbaijani factory. Lets look at what you did notice about those almost you out of many a good one that also vision because you know you know absolutely with me of the girls those couples you know youre desirable would be terrible if you didnt know better. Than most but you dont go do it but then it does tell us is this new ad because i passed. The. Intense fighting today was along the entire front flying heavy artillery has been walked into the direction of. The not so exposed to so often and so loudly that we could heard it from the neighboring city which is 30 kilometers far from from flying as it only morning when it was a thought from the roof of the war this indian has became an a. P. So in terms of artillery tanks from army inside still continues now and so that takes. The territorial feud stretches back more than 3 decades and flared up at the end of september both sides are blaming each other for civilian casualties and damage soldiers on the karabakh front line clearly as a fine johnny signed his supper tarnishing the cease fire. On the road which in reality the truce has not been upheld as for defensive positions there has been no shooting but we hear from the positions on our right and left explosions i assure you that is from the adverse reason not from us this is one of the times by these areas. Ive been fighting against the as a response the 990. 00 s. And again i fight against them so their perverted feet will not step in our clean armenian land dont pollute our homeland we wont allow it. It doesnt matter from how many countries they bring mercenaries nothing can beat an armenian soldier when an armenian soldier stand strongly on his feet he will repel anyone no one can enter our armenian lands. A 2nd wave of covert 19 is gathering pace across europe with belgium france and spain among the worst hit case numbers are now far higher than during the peak back in spring or fall the latest we cannot cross to peace all of us in berlin i think they could see you countries are warning us a raft of new containment measures could you bring us up to date please. Yes lots to get through different measures being taken in Different Countries across europe will start from where im talking to you from here in germany while most of germany has got off pretty lightly compared to its european neighbors what weve seen on tuesday is a full red alert announced in the back this god no region of bavaria in the south of the country 2 and a half 1000 tourists being told youve got to go and they have to go immediately that says the berchtesgaden a region goes into this full lockdown what that means is that schools are going to be closed all of them are going to be cancelled restaurants are only open for takeout and people have been told only to leave their homes if theres a good reason to do it now those good reasons do include business and also exercise but it is a a serious step being taken by the authorities in bavaria there compared to the National Picture germanys got off pretty lightly compared to its neighbors in the likes of austria france belgium the netherlands Czech Republic and in poland which is one of those countries that fared reasonably well in the spring when we 1st saw over 19 ripped through europe its not doing so well now the government there is put in place a series of measures which includes things like closing gyms however we have seen some fitness clubs attempting to get round about one in krakow in particular has relaunched itself as a church of the healthy body in an attempt to circumvent the ban on bins ban on gyms i beg your pardon places of worship are allowed to open but while they are doing that the authorities in poland taking things a little more seriously in fact theyve turned the National Stadium in warsaw into a makeshift hospital as the jew the polish government prepares for the worst. Commish the chinese we must also think about darker scenarios if we are not able to stop the pandemic in our country temporary hospitals will be necessary we opened the 1st Field Hospital here we are ready to open a network of similar hospitals around the country in the near future. In spain more cities are going into lockdown for 2 weeks nevada the latest to do just that thats around 650000 people who will be locked down they join parts of madrid as well as. Areas in the castiel and leon area that have also been put into into lockdown that means bars restaurants wont be able to open it supposed to last for around 2 weeks but that could roll on depending on infection rates spain saw 25000 extra infections of covert 19 over the weekend we move further north you go to island where the government there is talking about introducing what it is going to introduce but is talking about it that lockdown is the extreme lockdown the strictest lockdown that they know. Martin saying that they will be no going outside of a 5 kilometer radius of your house no mixing with people in other homes and not is going to be in place for 6 weeks he did say though that despite this extreme lockdown he sees a light at the end of the tunnel i understand and i feel very personally and profoundly the sense of disappointment the feelings of loneliness perhaps even this the despair that this announcement will bring for many if we pull together over the next 6 weeks we would have the opportunity to celebrate christmas in a meaningful way. Well last week belgium put itself into a lockdown whereby bars and restaurants would be closed for a couple of weeks however despite that politicians are still warning about the threat of a tsunami of infections is how theyre calling it and also if we look in italy the lombre t. Region has seen a huge spike in infections thats prompted the introduction of a nighttime curfew hospitals theyre concerned that they may become overwhelmed and as they did back in the spring in the 1st wave of covert 19 doctors saying that the reason for this curfew the reason they believe is behind this spike is people well people going about their daily lives and trying to get back to normal as much as possible. And spreads are a virus is do not have legs it is people who spread them lumbered he is a very dynamic region very active with a lot of population and the large concentration of population in the cities doing a lot of things seen a lot of people having a lot of work in and meeting activities facilities the spread of the wires well overall its a pretty bleak picture here in Europe Germany sweden and denmark are would want to say shining lights but theyre certainly the areas on the e. U. Color coded mark that are showing up as yellow or orange while a lot of other countries like france like spain like italy like the Czech Republic are in a very lucid red right now meaning that they have high rates of the virus one big question that nobody seems to be able to answer though is why countries like germany sweden and denmark arent bearing the brunt as much as their neighbors peter thank you but as the south as r. T. Things are over. Allies of the ousted president of bolivia even miraculous are celebrating victory after sundays election early results show a convincing victory for louis our say a former minister and a muralitharan and a member of his left wing party. The bolivian people have given a lesson in democracy and perseverance people have managed to resist the coup de facto government to massacres and administration of the pandemic marked by inefficiency corruption several election postponements and the worst economic crisis in our history whenever murali as was forced to step down by the Bolivian Army last year after weeks of violence countries including the us claimed his election victory was rigged merolas however described events as a coup he was succeeded by an interim government which were paid to be postponed elections due to the coronavirus pandemic as a result bolivia has been experiencing political instability for about a year now with frequent violence and mass protests around the country and has left many citizens craving a return to normality we spoke to some of them. We want to leave peacefully without roadblocks and protests and a new leader for a new believe year we want the president to help 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 early arties maria for national discuss the details with my colleague andrew farmer. This whole election is one big and unfortunately very bitter 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 the 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 leading 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 look 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 explanation it was a very simple explanation the air is reporting later were more prawle morale is and this is why when the last 16 percent of the vote. Counted that lead increased so dramatically and by the way that may happen and weve 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 supports their position and to welcome what they describe as peoples fight for justice and democracy we salute the courage and strength to believe in 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 Credible 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 johnny the new years and the Transitional Government to bring democracy back well ok bolivia seems to have democracy now but thats not how many people have described the last 12 months to Human Rights Watch the 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 huge 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 often leave i mean 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 bolivian 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 with destroyed economy with dad you know and the question now i think is whether those responsible for pushing the country there will ever ever respond. But libyas interim president janine and theres has congratulated our say on his victory on the main rival candidates has conceded defeat however Latin American Affairs Analyst Daniel schorr things us backed forces could still try to undermine the democratic process of bolivia. As the Movement Towards socialism never ceased to be popular but the cool monger the neo liberal forces with the support of. Truong the pentagon the state department here in washington and in the right wing forces across the continent. 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 over no into an economic victory. The right wing forces supported by the us are going to do everything to push back against the us against during the peoples victory so this is going to continue to play out in the course of the next hour as the months and years. Where the u. S. Election just 2 weeks away tensions between bided and Trump Supporters are palpable with emotions running high and so much on the line things could easily spiral out of control lets kind of open our ports. November 3rd election day in america is edging ever closer some are not just nervous about the results but nervous about the real potential for violence in the streets over the course of the past few months amid the pandemic tensions have been at boiling point and at some point even boiling over violence has taken place at political rallies. Last weekend it was boston that was the site of scuffles between Trump Supporters and left wing activists videos like this are becoming more and more common across america but. The country is becoming more and more polarized you have this which is brew that really hasnt happened in americas history and defeat hands its been decades if not centuries right wing militias and are both heavily armed and both walking the streets freely in american cities. Our. Gun sales a record high now the year isnt even over yet but already the f. B. I. Has announced that 2020 is the record year for the number of f. B. I. Background checks for gun purchases tensions are being ratcheted up by both candidates were both suggesting that the other guy is rigging the vote for single greatest concern this president trying to steal this election its democrats theyre going to theyre trying to rig this election. Will the elections have a quick result that is accepted by everyone or will it be contested with both candidates having supporters that are armed and ready for battle things could explode very quickly able to mop and artsy new york from other world news in brief now starting with clay. She was in chile protesters that fired 2 barricades and burned in effigy of president Sebastian Pinera as a rally calling for the dictatorship era constitution to be overturned one days on grass marks exactly one year since the Police Crackdown in which 30 demonstrators died. The devastating wildfires continue to spread through the u. S. State of colorado these are the latest images from Boulder County where dozens of homes have burned down and total more than 430000 acres have been destroyed in the Colorado Wildfires since august making them the worst in the states history. Well i would not say would have to take your thoughts on all of our stories they do get in touch by following us on social media and the comments that were back at the top of the hour with the latest. There is a saying in washington dont let the perfect be the enemy of the good this approach really describes the political.
