Tensions of the coronavirus i think its a blessing the coronavirus is of all the more slowly than other r. N. A. Viruses but still its a very quick process. To get even just gone 5 here evening in moscow you watching r. T. International the turkish president has once again lashed out at his french counterparts and he is long stance claiming it is a threat to his countrys security recip tired also called on his nation to boycott french products his words come as anger continues to build in the muslim world as a crackdown on suspected islam miss in france intensifies the fight against radical islam was launched after the recent beheading of a teacher near paris but some critics do say it is being driven by islamophobia challenged as more. President macron has said he wont to announce the publication of those cartoons and that has spiked furious reaction from many muslim majority countries including from the president of turkey president one who said twice over the weekend that he thought much kuan needed his Mental Health checked. Needs Mental Health treatment what else can be said to a head of state who behaves in this way to millions of People Living in his country who are members of a different faith. As i said yesterday he is a case and therefore he really needs to have mental chunks france has been incensed by that and described it as an insult in reaction its also recalled it from ankara its also been condemnation of those comments from the e. U. President words the regard to president. We call and to disturb this dangerous spiral of confrontation all muslim countries are also angered by some of the other crackdowns that are happening here in france that includes the closure of a mosque and the closure of muslim associations all that are said to have links to extremists now there have been protests in many countries including in libya and jordan against whats happening here in france and the guards are photos of president macron were burnt theres also been a boycott of french products in some countries and a call for a boycott in others now the organization for islamic cooperation has hit out of the comments that president makaa made saying that they are likely to harm franco muslim relations now weve been chatting to people here in france about what they make of the Current Situation with many people feeling that this provokes islamophobia and concern that muslims in general are being punished for the actions of a few. Radicalised individuals. Them with muslim mosques and associations are not guilty maybe some people who come in but not everybody they punish the entire Muslim Community for what an isolated person did today we have to be careful of not developing and then to Muslim Hatred if the government still goes on to divide us it will create separate groups in society and it is not the solution i dont think that there is an optimal solution it would be utopian to think the opposite but dialogue is a better solution for me president macron has being steadfast the fact is tweeting on sunday night that nothing will make us rich treat him with darts the publication of those cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammed it seems that both sides are hardening their stance and the divide is likely to only white in the middle east expert shamoun journalist gave a very opinion on the french governments measures and this is the reaction of muslim countries should be taken into account by paris these people that are boycotting french products they dont understand the french way of life the french Muslim Community stop them take this very easily and they understand that because more stuff the french Muslim Population are in good Good Relationship with french values in france are lets say in the west there. Are in the United States we have the freedom of speech in france you can criticize jesus you can create those moses and you can and they want to be able to. Profit what was lost that have been that have been lost and that they are mosque that are funded by Foreign Countries that are preaching in these mosques are sent there by. More awkward turkey and saudi arabia are kept out and they are paid by these govern. And french government doesnt want that anymore france must be absolutely clear with the muslim countries that they have not to interfere with the laws of the french republic i dont think there should be a middle ground for the freedom of the press for the freedom of ideas thats very important that is what the west is built on that our western democracies are built on it we should not accept any discussion on this they have the right to be offended ok maybe they dont like it there are some things i dont like it what shall you dog is stylish it sometimes starker but thats the freedom thats the freedom in europe they must understand that they can be angry ok but not to the point of i think you know this is possibly unacceptable and speaking of islamophobia is completely crazy there is no real islamophobia in france i mean its terrorism. The new york iconic times square was the scene of a violent brew larkham supporters got into a fight with opponents. I buy at least 4 people were arrested following the clash here police were also seen putting handcuffs on an injured man who was lying on a stretcher and despite trump and biden being presented as polar opposites it does seem when it comes to Foreign Policy there isnt too much to divide them with more details on this his caliber. The past 4 years have proved to us that donald trump is a businessman he is not a diplomat is diplomatic failures have created a lot of tension around the world and it seems the whole world is holding its breath until november hopes for biden calling the waters might be high however you turning out all of trumps decisions might not be as easy as it looks and it might be well rather odd lets take Donald Trumps most recent moves the peace deals between arab countries and israel now theyre hailed by some but met with fury by others biden has claimed he will move in the same direction and of course he would not reverse the decision by trump to move the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem. Biden has said ministration will build on these steps challenge other nations to keep pace and work to capitalize on these growing tinys to move forwards when a 2 state solution and a more stable and peace who region now lets move on to americas most bitter enemy iran now biden says he is an enthusiastic supporter of the Iran Nuclear Deal he has denounced trumps move to withdraw the us a from the deal and says hes enthusiastic about the possibility of rejoining the best way to do that of course would be for president truman to rejoin the iran deal and build on but seeing as how donald trump has ripped up that deal and then murdered a top iranian general it doesnt look like iran will be back to the table anytime soon. The j. C. P. O. A table still exists the us left it if they want to return to it it wont be that easy they cost billions tens of billions or maybe hundreds of billions of dollars worth of damage to our people they caused the deaths of our people they attacked our people and caused our great generals martyrdom as for staying in the middle east do you remember all those promises from trump about bringing the troops so we are working to finally end a marriage. His longest war and bring our troops back home now when asked if he agreed with the president here joe biden actually responded with yes i do as bizarre as it sounds yes i do as long as theres a plan to figure out how hes going to deal with isis on to north korea where there seems to be no Silver Bullet to resolve the tensions donald trump tried to play the diplomat and met with the north Korean Leader 3 times however he was unable to break through the stalemate and it looks like bidens chances with north korea are also pretty slim as relations between the former Vice President and kim jong un have also hit rock bottom hes talked about his good buddy whos a. I would be putting pressure on china to put pressure on korea i would not meet with the Supreme Leader who said joe biden is a rabid dog rabid dogs like biden can heard lots of people have theyre allowed to run about they must be beaten to death with a stick before its too late yes on paper both candidates seem to have very different foreign policies however u. S. Media emits that there will be very little chance of significant change if biden takes the Oval Office Donald trump which himself as an outsider remember well it appears that he really did have no experience when it came to dealing with friends and foes trump has left us Foreign Policy in tatters he has pulled out of many Key International agreements however what would change with the reins of power handed over to a potential biden as commander in chief someone who supported the u. S. Invasion of afghanistan iraq and yugoslavia probably not much able to mop and r. T. New york or the us military National Committee member benedict does believe too that bidens approach to Foreign Policy might look more sophisticated but at its heart is not all that different from trumps. President biden would be more diplomatic hed be more polite but when you look at his actual policies i dont think they would be what im looking for i think what you have is a change in personalities but not a change in policies bidens Foreign Policy is almost going to be the same as trumps although there may be a risk that he would start a new war trump trump is talk tough hes talked tough with iran china and even russia but it was president obama and Vice President biden who started a new war in libya they continued bombing in germany and other places so i dont think that Foreign Policy will be better with biden it might actually get worse with the coronavirus tightening its grip on the world by the day weve heard from an eating evolutionary biologist who has conducted an extensive analysis of the corona virus he explained how its mutated and how brights can be dealt with in the future you can watch the interview in full at r. T. Dot com but heres a taste of what was said. I think its a blessing that coronaviruses evolve more slowly than other r. N. A. Viruses but still its a very quick process the virus mutates every 2 weeks but in one specific lineage what is a specific lineage well vassie infects mush mush infects pits in pits infix tanya in such a lineage the virus mutates once but at the same time a similar process is taking place across the globe since different viruses acquire different mutations in total we see tens of thousands of mutations but we can already see approximately 20000 mutations. That is 20000. 00 versions of the same corona virus that is believed to have her originated and. We now see that the common ancestor was around in december or january the genomes of all the corona virus is we are sequencing and studying right now show that they are all descended from one common ancestor which existed back then so it seems to me very unlikely that the virus infected a person before that time. So. There is a widespread belief that the virus does not exist in order to kill the owner but in order to somehow perfectly adapt to it and live quietly inside them. Actually this is not what the virus cares about most we know a huge number of examples one of our success didnt put play sions for many many is many centuries and did not weaken smallpox for example measles which is fatal in a large proportion of cases if there is no treatment but generally it often happens that the mortality rate does not change at all. So there is no guarantee that covert 19 will somehow become less dangerous. In the near future there are no guarantees of that. Now in europe the coronavirus is on the rampage across the continent once again and countries are further tightening restrictions as they attempt to hold back the invisible enemy italy and spain are the latest countries to impose curfews but with many now suffering code fatigue after months of measures impacting their lives the new moves arent going down particularly well peter oliver reports. Italy and spain are the latest nations to put in place new restrictions on their populations in an attempt to try and get the number of covert 19 infections down in italy theyve seen the number of cases double each week over the last 3 weeks in spain they vented whats being called a state of alarm thats putting in place a curfew for the next 15 days people not allowed out on the streets from 11 at night until 6 in the morning now politicians there also wanting to extend a state of emergency in the country for a further 6 months now in italy what weve seen is new rules come in place regarding restaurants and dining out all restaurants are going to have to shut their doors to customers from 6 pm at night on the 4 people allowed at a table while theyre allowed to be open they are allowed to continue serving takeout after the vote there is a strict rule against any Food Consumption or drinking on the streets or in public areas after 6 pm these new rules well theres been pushback against them in both naples and in rome. Well not everybody has gone to those extreme levels that we just saw in naples and rome but italians in general and people in spain as well and happy about the measures that have been put in place on them with some saying simply wont work that its pretty much a its a disaster it will be devastating for many people and many families that work in the nightlife industry going to be inserted here. This makes me suspect that in the end the problem will transform from a cemetery issue into an economic one and that is where the real problem lies and it can you get any. Yeah and i am ashamed to be talian because the government is carrying out psychological terrorism we traders be forced to shut down one of. These a quite drastic measures but they are kind of in the middle its not the real up down its a look down by hobbes here in germany we recently passed 10000 deaths while each one of them is a tragedy in its own right germany has fared considerably better than many of its neighbors in fact almost all of its neighbors despite that performance though there are those that are extremely unhappy with the way the German Government has handled the pandemic in fact on sunday we saw protests on the streets here in berlin there were some clashes with police and arrests were made cases of covert 19 of also being rising in russia as well over 17000 new infections in the last 24 hours no less help in sight it seems as the world continues to try and fight against covert 19 but its keeping that balance between trying to keep populations healthy and trying to keep economies of float that seeing tensions rise in areas peter all over their national to come all over the world millennialists it does seem are losing faith in Democratic Institutions i will discuss why that could be the case with philosopher sly boy just after the break. Shifting. Washingtons im really. Against russia and china is already. Going to go there. Also america. Around the world have less faith in Democratic Institutions than previous generations about supporting to a survey by Cambridge UniversityResearch Nearly 5000000 people in 160 countries in the study ran a nearly 5 decades. People around the age of 30 about their views on democracy each subsequent generation of 30 somethings reported less satisfaction and trust in political system we asked people him paris london and also San Francisco if they think that democracy is fit for purpose where they live. I dont necessarily believe that it works the way it should. I still believe in democracy but i dont have confidence in the current government for democracy is there but i dont think its being implemented properly i think the state of democracy is more risk than it has been before this is tim is looking increasingly like a dictatorship to me personally i think its true that its all broke. Stepparent stone educate him enough that i can say we kind of because were not really in in many more our generation is in there you see people that are. 506070 that are running the government the way that they see fit and now really taking the Younger Generation into consideration young people being very will be a recently. A. Student. Not guilty for that kind of thing and i think thats fair i didnt see them believing that democracies i think a lot of it is just a lack of confidence that the politician has. Got any integrity so actually i think people of my generation do not trust the system we get the impression the voting in chief nothing. Boy does believe that. In western countries a foreign out of touch with people. If you just. Cannot be sure but. So what we are dealing here. In the main. In the ability of. Democracy doing it just to function there is a land there are again folks being young and so on and simply escape the heat and the direction it is that we dont yet see the year wait. Brink do gather ive seen people in tunisia to change in the democracy chests we should always remember that even the presentation of democracy is not a new interest in the only struggle east is there a group. Include the remark on the rain. Its sad. No matter how just. Misses some. Signed. Off the state state which can even be formally less democratic baek moral. Why no uk but we somehow they actually. Sweet. Even us themselves not stoned enough to believe those new wealth leads them i didnt dare try using the future is not a democracy or a diary and it is. No use in sounding. Of a fish expecting that to us earlier he watching our tape will be back with more news in just a hotter. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person those. Who dares thinks. We dare to ask. Congo. The maternity town the slums go in and you may never get out some sort of the most of. My teenage gang rules here. Are one of. The no let me my. Mother you were through with but. Maybe it will be very. Nice seeing her. And now its looking for the yeah well i knew you. And melanie like. You the mccain. Is all i see. But the demick no certainly no border is just blind to nationalities. A summary. Of the facts in the whole world needs to. Come in every crisis with this system takes time so we can do better we should. Everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges grateful to response has been must so many good people are helping us. It makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. Hello and welcome to cross talk were all things are considered on Peter Lavelle shifting alliances washingtons unrelenting policy assault against russia and china has already altered the world order what remains to be seen is how must go and beijing will Work Together to confront a hostile west also well america ever be normal again. To discuss a real news im joined by my guest Marcus Papadopoulos in london hes the editor of politics 1st magazine and in budapest we have george samueli he is an author and a you tuber the goggle original macross uprose in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it or i was going to london marcus says you know weve been watching over the last few years a closer relationship between moscow and beijing and as a matter of fact a couple days ago when asked about a potential military alliance which these 2 countries do not know right now but this possibility putin said this the russian president theoretically its quite possible to imagine with without any doubt our cooperation with china is bolstering the defense of capacity of chinas army trying will show how it will develop we cant exclude it weve never heard this before from the russian president whats changed go ahead. In a period of 5 decades russia and china have gone from the brink of war with each other which could have it both Nuclear Weapons to a situation today where both countries have formed an informal sure c. G. Partnership with one another to spam an American Nickel who must arrange now given that 5 decades says it really is your terms of very short period of time the turnaround in relations between moscow and beijing is quite simply astonishing however i am of the opinion that theres a lation ship israel russia and china is not one of their fantasy it is one of necessity both countries need each other to prosper in oh well its in no way should. Be over who wants to create power now i so i do not see any reason why the informal should see to partnership between russia and china wont break down of the forseeable future but there are serious challenges to that relationship and it is these challenges are only ones that people in washington and london come from really or even recent times so for example china is continuing to try and undermine russias predominance in central asia and i hope to come all the more so once china launches its one belts and it is it and then you have lost just very close relationship our relationships with india and vietnam which is a very serious concern for china because india and vietnam.
