Teachers and friends are speaking out in the wake of a colleagues murder last week many say theyre facing unacceptable daily risks while at work we heard from english teacher a lot and 0 tragedy that happened last week. Us mind is many many things its a tale of terror teachers and strong are expected to do a lot and it sounds like we will be expected to even more presents 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 threats of islamic terrorism. Then we should not ask ourselves heres how you will teach kids should ask ourselves serious how we will protect the school itself and the surrounding stuff the School History teacher a summer party it was beheaded by a terrorist on october the 16th outside a school in a suburb of paris have received online Death Threats after showing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad to his class a suspected killer an 18 year old refugee of chechen origin was later shot dead by police many french people see the tragedy as an attack on the entire nation but opposition is not 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 for me to vote on that if you did the values of the republican on the list and its also a tribute not only to this person who died today but to all the teachers who taught us those values and it is sometimes haunt but it was important for us to be here in a book on the discipline the friends Teachers Union has stressed that staff should be able to organize their work as they see fit free from fear and the aftermath of the killing present mccraw to crack down on is a lot of 63 miss them. Again says that his profession needs a better protection yes of sentiment but also tells the story of how as a slow sites he 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 well then lets start by policing shuras when they say that something is wrong im not sure that we still are just and how important this is im not sure that the french state will put enough money and people into said she huge challenge after the death of sami alhaj tear the french government shut down a mosque accused of inciting the killing thats also proposed changes to the law. 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 petit and the School Principal secondly the possibility of sanctioning those who post personal Information Online that in danger someones life as they did in the teachers case. But the issue of integration firmly in the spotlight the interior minister weighed in on ethnic foods and french shops but his comments did not go down well artist story. 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 i was about to go to his always shocked me to go into a supermarket and see that there would be one type of ethnic food selection here and another one next to it domino went on to say this is how Community Terrorism begins its a term 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 it 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 poll that become bad french citizens. I think its important to respect their very city and that should be reflected in supermarkets this should be everything for everyone including. There is a demand for something should be then. Thats one of the things are so great about france is that we do have people from lots of Different Countries i mean im. American and i live in france for about 5 years and 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 despite the pushback the interior minister says he doesnt want to put ethnic food on the markets but i think its up to big Business Owners to do it in fighting separatism so move though do you think dominos comments it should be said to. The minister is right. It is the beginning of communitarianism. Should be available in the general 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 often brutal terror attack. And while a terror trial is underway over the 2015 attack on a supermarket many incensed it seems is not so much cooking up a storm with his words but wading into some very hot water. Paris. There is no let up to the fighting between armenia and azerbaijan despite International Peace efforts on saturday i thought is the disputed region reported an aerial bombardment by azerbaijani warplanes earlier this week women and children were evacuated from the city of marjah occurred after the shelling of the surrounding villages many civilians have been caught in the crossfire so far and as this next story shows even the youngest have found courage. True political nuts you dont look you know implode off to a little plane. Or decided to post the lady of shalott spoke.

Meanwhile azerbaijan 2nd largest city has come under repeated missile attacks last week more than a dozen civilians were killed and more than 50 injured as a brush on it war correspondent. Reports from the area. A few days after is a terrible tragedy people still come to the place he did by one of the we still see croucher used to be in the park with the building just a couple of the single locals in the fields come here every day to commemorate those who died so results of the tragedy we can see flowers photographs of directives here. A couple young man described. As a small children. Are couple or source or rather a.

I woke up as a herd terribly loud rumble there was dancing black smoke with stories suffocating everything around was destroyed 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 the artillery strike everything they gained throughout the years everything was destroyed in a few minutes their houses are nothing but just now and the key thing is that civilians were injured we dont want to live like this we want to live peacefully. Which has a majority armenian population that has been pushing for independence since the early 1990 s. And now a french lawmaker has called on her country to support that campaign we spoke with ellery and also asked as a barzani Foreign Ministry spokesperson the delay of a comment. Its also a school took in france and the rest of europe put up with what is going on in the corner with a situation where every means to leave there could again suffer genocide i remind you that as a by john attack the nagornokarabakh and at amenia a sovereign state so there was a unilateral declaration of war the only aim of which was to exterminate the armenian population to remain neutral is irresponsible and dignified and most importantly in affective this is not a situation where we can remain neutral we are seen the mass murder of civilians the military intentions of cherokee and as a bridge on a clear one country x. On behalf of other one in relation to armenia and again and they leave well to take nagornokarabakh is a trophy and then taken meaning there are several ways to solve this conflict the 1st is diplomatic a good look at about should urgently be recognized as an independent state the 2nd is to send International Troops on the e. U. And men date here with speaker bought a strong advocate for media in private national as of late and the person who is afraid of us or her strong ties with her mean a lot in problems so obviously the lawmaker matter about everybody who continues to turn a blind eye to that aggressive policy or party at against azerbaijan im curious whether she is there well or poor bought the deliberate shouting group as it were just a severely us in that tolerance if you i get far away from the. Gander city killing more than 20 syrians in a one lot and im curious whether she is whether. Civilian death toll in azerbaijan which is rose to the 65. 00 so human its teenager of 16 years old was killed by smash we saw the attack in his garden while correct in person or in packer region so im curious how she would respond to these attacks player mia obviously as a. Madam boundary where you should be where. Principles of International Law which is involved respecting your integrity of states and indeed this is the National Borders of states.

In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or a maid in the shallows. Join me every thursday on the elec simon chill and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Welcome back drastic coronavirus measures in the italian city of naples have infuriated some locals the regional authorities announced a new lockdown on friday. Oh. Hundreds of protesters marched through the city and there were some tense and counters with police the rules were tightened after the number of daily infections doubled in naples and the surrounding region and a similar picture is playing out across europe as peter alter reports. While the european continent creaks under increasing cases of covert 19 germany comparatively well however as cases here past 10000 today for the 1st time those in charge of Public Health in germany are 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 musks will have to be warned outside in any way you call and to maintain a 1. 5 mi to distance from another person and that includes some of the german capitals most famous shopping districts while infection rates of going to have the number of germans willing to go to parties back in the spring 90 percent of people said this would have been the highest order now thats dropped to 60 percent with almost 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 spaying to cross the map threshold. Seeing a curfew to be extended. Over the last few days the whole situation in our country has continued to deteriorate the circulation level of the virus is extremely high the coming weeks will be. Half the number of deaths will continue through roads and the Hospital Services will be put to the test so if we do not succeed collectively in whole thing be epidemic we will be faced with a dramatic situation i will have to impose more severe measures. The new has promised extra phones and testing capabilities to be rolled out across the block 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 rapid antigen tests for the European Union despite of those 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 r. T. I say outlook in europe for the moment but in china infection rates have remain low since the peak of the pandemic earlier in the year from Imperial College london gave us his views on the differing approaches to the health crisis. Well i was in 100 and a lot down over there was completely different and believe me is still very different and i would say that at all im going to do so very strictly not just to the us but also to the people back to the u. K. About 4 months ago what i just learned and ive been requested to be a south korean team for 14 days and i want to say does the d. South korean scene has to be you should the entirely. Most of the Chinese People do already realize that they follow the rules and then they follow the learner street measures and then they get everything back in london for example when they say people dont read or ask in the day they receive fines on the tube right and then i think the u. K. Police didnt find those people one by one. Piece camilli culture is very different in europe whose people did more bad him so it was not like in china its more like you Community Society people take care of that. To the us now our Democratic Senators are calling on the f. B. I. Not to investigate joe biden and his son right before the election they claim that the ongoing allegations over the familys business dealings are just a Smear Campaign by Donald Trumps team thats more here scaled up and. Who can forget the russia gate hysterics and the demand from the Us 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 call me was leading an investigation and whether the Trump Campaign colluded with the russians serious offense or 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 on the eve of the election succumbing to such pressure would deeply and to mine the 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 ads on the subject usa today didnt want to run my hunter biden column this week my regular editor is in 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. Archie new york. Veggie burgers and vegan sausages lived to see another day after an attempt by the Meat Industry to ban those terms was rejected by the European Parliament a group of farmers and lobbyist argued that words like sausage and steak should only be used to label items that contain meat and not applying them to plant based versions as a form of cultural hijacking also claimed its confusing for consumers but the European Consumer Organization took a different view consumers are in no way confused by a source steak or cheek bieb a sausage so long as it is clearly labeled as vegetarian or vegan terms such as burger or steak on plant based on its ins simply make it much easier for consumers to know how to integrate these products within the meal we discuss the story with our guests. Its very important focus he and his chief be able to hes the times better as a stage because they have to explain the texture the style and how to use things that he needs and you know their common language maybe said theres no reason that the meat and kissed me to be should only use those terms sustainably produced livestock salut you have a Central Place in puget diets but those people who dont have ethical objections to eating meat or Livestock Products we have to accept that those who do have the absolute right to eat plant based products but i think that using the terms that Livestock Products who coined it is really i think that confusion has been no evidence of any competing for people by a vegetarian who began doesnt suggest asking i think if they were Something Else you know it was have they ever been to a shop and thought they were buying pokes and just come home and found they were vacant it is a problem that just doesnt exist although i accept that plants are an important part about art and i think that if we can to support problems who want to become more d regenerative and sustainable we need to eat what those who produce using those kind of practices and that will include the rights cloyd or Livestock Products certainly we dont want him to trick him we dont want him to cold we dont want milk and Dairy Products really make it carries we need to know the difference we need to exercise old boy power in the right way to achieve we asked if he would like to see more people its up to healthy healthy pot they speak in diets and eat in the process phase it in in a moderation in the same as way as people cheese and ill never rest i probably should be eating processed basically day and so its an issue thats not mean just as its for everybody we need to know the difference between sustainably and pounds who stand to be produce livestock drugs but equally we need to do the same for chronic based products and in my view many of the clones. Type robots or produced in highly unsustainable ways we need to be the experts we need to educate all souls about making sure that we know the difference if we shift to plant based as we can. All sorts of environmental problems as well as it can support Public Health you know to keep your healthy diets and of course as a compassionate and decent to do that as well thats been your news wrap up for this hour thanks for tuning in wherever you may be.
