A knee jerk to my sword out on the. Right analogy at 8 am here in moscow youre watching our Troops National as are you while program from the whole team. While the horrific murder of a french history teacher last week has left many in the profession traumatized with teachers now fearful that the freedom to speak and instruct is a risk we had the impacts of the gruesome attack has had from. Tragedy that happened last week that theyre such a colleague of mine is many many things its a tale of terror teachers in france are expected to do a lot and it sounds like we will be expected to even more to treat and many ills in society and i know my colleagues and i are ready to take on many challenges that ish teachers are really under the threat of islamic terrorism and we should not ask ourselves heres how you will teach kids should ask ourselves serious how we will protect the school itself and the surroundings of the school samuel patsy was beheaded last week outside his school in a suburb of paris and what was declared a terror attack the suspect an 18 year old refugee of chechen origin was laid to by the police its possible he was motivated by the fact the party had shown his students cartoons of the prophet mohammad and a class on the freedom of speech in the aftermath of the killing the french president vowed to crack down on is the most extreme islam all across the country people are still in shock when i was convinced i told myself that it could have been me and beyond that he was just going to work doing his job and he was killed for unacceptable reasons given on the values of the public are under attack and its also a tribute not only to this person who died but over teachers who taught us those values and it is sometimes hard but it was important for us to be here and it is fundamental to show what we are opposing in our souls deryni against a murderer on a street just because a teacher did his job intelligently and it is obviously an unbearable infringement on freedom of the french Teachers Union has highlighted that teachers should be free to organize the what however they like and free from fear in the state charlatans who again says that his profession needs protection. Yes of sentiment but it also tells the story of how associates each you teachers we are i believe my profession needs to be respected my profession needs to be protected if the question is how do we protect the professional not just the profession weldon lets start by policing shuras when they say that something is wrong im not sure that we still understand how important this is im not sure that the french state will put enough money and people into such a huge challenge meanwhile since the death of some real patent france has stepped up its fight against hate speech the government ordered the closure of the mosque accused of having links to the gruesome and its also proposed changes to the nickel system because the Defense Council has already decided to add 2 new provisions to the draft law against extremism firstly to reinforce protection for Public Servants by penalizing those who exert pressure on them or those who put pressure on Public Institutions their words or actions as happened in the case of samuel petty and the School Principal secondly the possibility of sanctioning those who post personal Information Online that endangers someones life as they did in the teachers case but as the country grapples with assimilation problems that was mocking backlash when the interior minister weighed in on ethnic foods and front up to ship solid dependable delves into yessir. Radicalisation how it happens is now once again the headline in front now while most questions are focusing on the impact of social media poverty and foreign influence the countrys interior minister has come up with this suggestion as one root of the problem. Shocked me to go into a supermarket and see that there would be one type of ethnic food. And another one next domino went on to say this is how Community Terrorism begins its a term that loosely translates as identity and its also used to describe those who dont comply or respect the idea of secularism here in france thats a separation of religion and state and even though the interior minister says he doesnt want to put ethnic food dollars in supermarkets its comments have caused a stir with many mocking him. Down on also thinks is to big Business Owners to do their bit in fighting separatism so what restaurants streets like this one here in paris offer a plethora of selection from turkish to chinese italian to Indian Cuisine all the way to along with supermarket aisles setting people on the path that become french citizens. I think. Markets. Should be everything for everyone including. There is a demand for something should be there. Thats one of the things are so great about france is that we do have people from lots of Different Countries and im. American and i live in france for 5 years i dont really think. Normal if i go in the supermarket i dont really think about that so i dont really see the harm behind this disappoint the pushback the interior minister says he doesnt want ethnic food or supermarkets but who does think its up to big Business Owners to do it in fighting separatism so move though do you think dominos comments have merit and should be treated. The minister is right. Is the beginning of communitarianism. Should be available in the general aisles along with others but having a dedicated doll is the beginning of communitarianism because we know that everyone who is muslim. Been to minister says he doesnt have one word to take back but given that perhaps his badly phrased thoughts have been made in the off the more brutal terror attack. And while a terror trial is underway over the 2015 attack on a kosher supermarket many incensed it seems its not so much cooking up a storm with his words but wading into some very hot water shoulder to altie paris. Assad day for womens rights thats what activists according about why polands top court on abortions due to fetal defects the ruling has sparked outrage. On thursday thousands across the country took to the streets in the capital riot police were out in force using crowd control measures protesters denounce the governing law and Justice Party a long time proponent of tougher laws it has also been accused of putting the Constitutional Court with loyalist. Well the warning effectively bans almost all abortions in poland so up to now 98 percent of tama nations in the country what do you to those severe fetal abnormalities however abortions due to rape incest or threat to the mothers life are still legal the ruling will take a fact once confirmed by parliament which is seen as certain given the ruling partys majority my colleague you know neal debated this issue with our guests have you have you ever met a person who regret having a child or a child indeed with a severe disability whose health has improved later in life even thrived dont children deserve the childs. I think every child deserves to be a wanted child and every mother deserves to be a will and mother and as we see in countries like poland and as was recently for the same reasons in Northern Ireland that we on the one hand hear these conservatives saying that they want to protect life on the other hand and exact same government means active ministrations support for disabled people cut support for single mothers to cut support for a special Education Services for people with who seem disabilities well i would like to clarify that no one in the prolife camp is wanting anyone to be an unwilling mother right saying that you should have the right to abort your fetus is not the same thing as saying you must be a parent for the rest of your life but to say that because the person who conceived you doesnt want to be a parent therefore your right to life is 4th that that is completely ridiculous and to to address something your other previous guest said you know there are many many children out there who grew up with parents that were and the best and perhaps maybe didnt want them im sure many of them would take issue with the idea that just because their parents werent necessarily the most willing supporters of them that they should have been aborted or that would have been all right to do it its just something thats very same with the idea that if we want to argue that down syndrome children should not be aborted we must also implement some sort of huge welfare state or social safety net i dont accept the rationale that either we make the government care for people from cradle to grave or we might as well abort them that is a ridiculous notion and i reject it entirely and the idea that someone making abortion illegal stops it happening is inaccurate the way that you stop abortion targeting as frequently is to introduce Sex Education programs that arent absent based is to introduce easily available contraception easily available morning after pills you heard your guest say explicitly the right to life for a fetus does not igs. This and this is what the issue is all about for them they do not recognize the right of the unborn to live and actually i think the argument of a slippery slope is very valid im glad that poland is taking a stand against this. For weeks after being reignited the tensions in the disputed region of nagornokarabakh summer on on saturday regional authorities reported aerial bombardment of the city of mata cut by azerbaijani planes at this week women and children were evacuated from the city off to the shelling of really an infrastructure on surrounding villages many people caught in the crossfire and now have to take few future into their own hands and as this next story shows even the youngest have summoned courage.

By john 2nd largest city of ganja has come under repeated missile attacks last week and started civilians were killed and over 50 were injured local war correspondent. Reports. A few days after is a terrible tragedy people still come to the police here to buy one of the. Creditor used to be on the part of the building just a couple of the single locals in the fish every bit the commemorate those who died so result of the tragedy we can see flowers photographs of directives here and there are a couple of young man is right. That small children. Are so sure of our country is currently at war and if there is no unity of one common thing to free our territories we will never win and this daily heroism is very important for each of us this is our homeland this is our future and we cant stand this anymore and look for it also this for the steward Looking Glass it leads you to see this is one distance of this war so really finds you total over to install wind broken and to lose shells were fired in the president ial every once during the conflict he didnt go home to do it i woke up as they heard terribly loud rumble there was dancing black smoke with stories suffocating everything around resist we dont understand why the target a civilian town we are far from the battlefield we all want peace we dont want war. My parents are in hospital now they were injured because of there are to restrike everything they gained throughout the years everything was destroyed in a few minutes their house is nothing but dust now and the key thing is that civilians were injured we dont want to leave like they want to live peacefully. The bottle again has had 19 continues across europe and we imposed curfews have caught people while. Up about long enough stories off the shore. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy on sunday shouldnt let it be an arms race is often skeery Dramatic Development only really. I dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical. To sit down and talk. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those great. Thinks. We dare to ask. For. Welcome back in the u. S. The Democratic Senators are calling on the f. B. I. Not to investigate the Business Activity as a president ial candidate joe biden and his son they insist it will halt american democracy and say its just slammed up by Donald Trumps campaign with mall has all. Who can forget the russia gate hysterics and the demand from u. S. Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer that the f. B. I. Investigate allegations against trump regarding collusion thats a serious issue and needs a thorough thorough investigation we know director komi was leading an investigation and whether the Trump Campaign colluded with the russians a serious offense where those investigations getting too close to home for the president the dismissal of director komi establishes a very troubling pattern well it turns out that senator Chuck Schumer is far less interested in looking into the shady dealings of the biden family in ukraine surprise surprise. We therefore urge you to resist pressure from President Trump and other poets as an act is to take any actions intended to benefit President Trump politically when the election succumbing to such pressure would deeply undermine our National Security interests and could have devastating consequences for the resiliency of our democracy the democrats seem quite nervous about opening this can of worms remember Hillary Clinton using a private server for her emails similar story whats interesting this time however is that the democrats message of nothing to see here folks just move on that message is being echoed by Media Outlets we dont want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories and we dont want to waste the listeners and readers time on stories that are just pure distractions and quite frankly thats where we ended up this was a politically driven event and we decided to treated that way now that was National Public radio the Media Research center a media watchdog that leans conservative said the biden family scandal has gotten a little almost no coverage in the aftermath of the recent trump and biden town hall event a. B. C. Spend 0 seconds on hunts a budget and d. C. Spend just 6 minutes 9 seconds on hundreds of scandals c. B. S. Led the brule Coast Networks with a still measly 10 minutes and 33 seconds print media as well usa today has dropped op eds on the subject usa today didnt want to run my hunter biden column this week my regular editor isnt vacation and i guess everyone else was afraid to touch it. It seems like the party line of the american elite is do not discuss the biden family emails and the socalled free press is in full compliance once again american Mainstream Media shows us what its all about whats happening right now with connor biden is so last ditch effort in a Smear Campaign and so he sees and between 2 candidates and this is. Not really playing out right now in america its kind of seen as a distraction and possibly even hurting donald trump and me in the end to a degree and i would say voters have made up their mind weve watched 5 years of scandal and donald trump theres a group of voters for donald trump with joe biden as is in the again the story of the allegations between eminence are not getting out there because theyre not showing a quid pro quo so i dont see how this is going to factor in at the last moment so. The election season and again we call it silly season so. Lets a time to europe where tens of millions all facing tough thought coronavirus distractions one across the continent a night time cause in fact in many places in naples the fos night of lockdown was met with people fighting police on the street with more now your pants off airing on new coke 1000 cups have peace on. While the european continent creaks under increasing cases of covert 19th germany comparatively well however as cases here past 10 files a day for the 1st time for those in charge of Public Health in germany preparing for the worst. The situation has become very serious but we can slow down the spread of the virus if we take precautions in a systematic way although we have to expect that the virus will continue to be transmitted in some regions of germany and the spread may be uncontrolled from saturday masks will have to be worn outside in any way you can to maintain a 1. 5 meted distance from another person and that includes some of the german capitals most famous shopping districts while the infection rates have gone off so to have the number of germans willing to go to parties back in the spring 90 percent of people said this would have been at the highest order now thats dropped to 60 percent with almost half saying they had been to a gathering with more than 10 people in the last 4 weeks its a much different picture in france where infections cross the 1000000 mark this week making them the 2nd nation after speaking to cross that threshold seeing a curfew set to be extended. Over the last few days the whole situation in our country has continued to to rate the circulation level of the bar is extremely high the coming weeks will be tough the number of deaths will continue to rise and the Hospital Services will be put the test if we do not succeed collectively in whole thing the epidemic will be faced with a dramatic situation and well have to impose more severe measures. The new has promised extra phones and testing capabilities to be rolled out across the globe to slow down the virus we need to test as much as possible and therefore the European Commission is making available 100000000 euros from our Emergency Support instrument with this money we can buy between 15 and 22000000 record and teaching tests for the European Union despite the blues charged with tracking the pandemic for brussels far from confident about the situation. We are clearly into a 2nd wave we are waiting and we are expecting to see the cases rise even more with over a 1000000 cases in france and spain things seem relatively controlled here in germany however the fear is that this is akin to being in the attic of a building we can feel the flames yes we can smell the smoke these are all over all to believe i bought from other world news in brief starting with unrest in chile police fired water talented just past protesters in the capital santiago hundreds took to the streets to protest ahead of a National Referendum to change the constitution later this month demonstrators are also angry about rising subway fast and falling wages. Protesters have also gathered in love with her against nigerias special anti robbery squad could start huge demonstrations against the force were held in nigeria earlier this month there are stars has been disbanded the rallies have continued against Border Police violence in west africa. And around things off a bit of good share of the christmas has reassured us that even cobra 1000 cant cancel the merriest day of the year and a message to all children and adults from his arctic home in the north of finland santa also expressed a special west that everyone stay safe and.
