A russian evolutionary biologist claims there are 20. But still its a very quick. 247. Your Arch International my names you know me then welcome to the program. Turkeys president once again his french counterpart suppose it stands claiming its a threat to his countrys security his words continues to build in the muslim world as a. Suspected islamist in france intensifies following the recent slaying of a teacher near park. 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 matt kwan 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 bassa death from ankara its also been condemnation of those comments from the e. U. President words the regard to president mcgraw on the ball we call on to distort 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 being garza 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 mack on 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 a concern that muslims in general are being punished for the actions of a fuse. But the clients individuals. With muslim mosques and associations are not guilty maybe some people who come in but not everybody so 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 go on has been steadfast about this tweeting on sunday night that nothing will make this retreat in regards to 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 widen. And just staying with this story germanys foreign minister has weighed into the row calling the turkish president s remarks about a month. A new low he added that germany stands in solidarity with france in the fight against islamist extremism journalist luke of a and middle east expert who both gave their opinions on the french governments measure the reaction to. These people that are boycotting french products they dont understand the french way of life the french Muslim Community must stop them take this very easily and they understand that because more stuff the french Muslim Population are in good accord Good Relationship with french values in france are lets saying the worst there. For it are the United States we have this freedom of speech in france you cant criticize jesus you can create zones moses and you cant and they want to be able to. Profit what their laws must that have been that have been lost and that they are mosques that are funded by Foreign Countries the monies that are preaching in these mosques are sent in there by more awkward turkey and saudi arabia are kept out and they are paid by the government and french government doesnt want that any more prince must be absolutely clear with the muslim countries that they have not to interfere with the laws of the French Republic i dont think it should be a middle ground for the freedom of the press for freedom of ideas thats very important that is what the west is built on our western democracies are built on and we should not accept any discussion on this they have the right to be offended or maybe they dont like it there are some things i dont like and what shall you know its funny shit sometimes starker thats the freedom thats the freedom in europe they must understand that they can be angry ok but not to the point of beheading people you know this is possibly unacceptable and speaking of islamophobia is completely crazy there is no real islamophobia in france i mean its slamming terrorism. Elastic is stateside where new yorks iconic times square was the scene of a violent brawl on sunday between pro and anti donald trump protesters. Was. Was at least 4 people were arrested following the former new york mayor Rudy Giuliani was reportedly verbal abuse by activists while eggs were also hurled at a car of on of Trump Supporters and police were seen putting one cuffs on an injured man lying on the stretcher. Despite jump and biden being presented as poor opposites it seems when it comes to Foreign Policy theres not much between them breaking down not for a skill up and. 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 a biden has said ministration will build on these steps challenge of the nations to keep pace and work to capitalize on these growing tonis to move forwards when a 2 state solution and a more stable and peaceful 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 who will pull you back 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. Erikas longest war and bring our troops back home now when 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 phony. I would be putting pressure on china to put pressure on korea i would not meet with the quote Supreme Leader who said joe biden use 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 d policies however u. S. Media admits 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 artsy new york well u. S. Libertarian National Committee member weighs benedict believes bidens approach to Foreign Policy may look more sophisticated but out its hard its 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 a covert tightening its grip worldwide weve heard from a leading evolutionary biologist whos conducted extensive list of the i predict now he explained how it tastes and how those operates can be dealt with the full interview is available r. T. Dot com for now heres a quick preview. 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 musher mush infects pets or pets infects 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 we can already see approximately 20000 mutations. That is 20000 versions of the same corona virus that is believed to have her originated and one where. We now see that the common ancestor was around in december or january the genomes of all the coronaviruses 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 sigs listed in populations for many many years 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. When you are in the near future there are no guarantees of that. Yeah that chance as we mentioned on our t. Dot com the full interview meanwhile in europe the virus reaction to it as well as on the rampage countries further tightening restrictions as they attempt to hold back the invisible enemy but with many now are suffering coded fatigue after months of measures impacting their lives the new moves are not going down well peter all over has a story. 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 that 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 because theres 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 uncertain you know. This makes me suspect that in the end the problem will transform from a senator issue into an economic one and that is where the real problem lies. Yakety. I am ashamed to be talian because the government is carrying out psychological terrorism we traders be forced to shut down. These are quite drastic measures but they are kind of in the middle its not a real knock 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 rights 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 a rests 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. Like the mirror putin has proposed that russia and nato should conduct mutual inspections of each others military bases the ball move is an attempt to restart talks on arms control in europe following the collapse of a cold war missile treaty known as the grumman said it was prepared to end the controversial deployment of missiles to its western regions. Lets go live now our correspondent maria fanaa. Indeed tickers through developments and whether washington is likely to take up brushes off. Well units too early to say of course there is no official american reaction to Vladimir Putins offer so far but many experts agree that the Global Security framework suffers a lot after the i. N. F. Treaty collapsed and hopes are now very high that the 2 sides the 2 nations the u. S. And russia find a way to somehow fix it the historic cold war era Nuclear Arms Control treaty a truly Lenoir Ikhwan collapse last year after washington and moscow accused each other of violating need so the idea of mutual inspections to military sides that the russian president pushed forward is to. I mean to diminish these doubts to make sure that the other side is sticking with egremont is not having a developing the bend or weaponry and as a result to return the last trust and to go back to the dialogue that the world needs so much we consider the u. S. Withdrawal from the line of treaty a serious mistake which increases the risks of unleashing a missile arms race and a slide into uncontrolled escalation we reaffirm our commitment to the old moratorium on deploying ground based missiles as long as u. S. Made missiles on place near our borders in europe so of ludmer putin even before that offered to in forests a meritorious one the deployment of short and into me did range Nuclear Missiles in europe and here repeated it this time again calling on European Countries to supported and here is the europes uncertain. This is not news rochelle radio announcer moratorium several times in the past russia itself withdrew from the i. N. F. Treaty so as the nato secretary general said last year the moratorium or such refusal to deploy missiles has no credibility we share his assessment so again it is still un clear what the american reaction will be truly to say what is the future of talks of these arms control talks but everybody agrees that talks are needed back to you thanks for taking us through the Authority Correspondent maria from russia. People in their thirtys around the world of less free than Democratic Institutions than previous generations thats according to a survey by Cambridge University researchers quiz nearly 5000000 people in 160 countries that lasted a while as well 5 decades it took that study and throughout countless people in the age of 30 about their views on democracy each subsequent generation of 30 somethings reported less satisfaction and trust in political systems we asked people in paris london some francisco if they think democracy in its current form is fit for purpose where they live. I dont necessarily believe that it works the way. They will i still believe in democracy but i dont have confidence in the current government the center 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 the simple hold that this is jim is looking increasingly like a dictatorship to me personally i think its true that its all broke. Stepparent stone educated enough but i cant say we kind of because were not really in any 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. A recently read. A. Student. Not being able to afford a mortgage 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 is nothing always good to have a philosopher on the program he believes liberal establishment and western countries have full an odd of touch with the public. Its not just. So. They can be sure but. So what we are dealing here. In the i dont mean to. Inability of. Democracy doing it used to function they still live there off again for being young and so on and simply escape beat and their agent is dead we dont get to hear way. How to bring the door to gather ive seen the intermission to change in the democracy chests we should always remember that liberal presentation of democracy is not a new interest in any only study least if there is a group. Including the remark going there already knowing that. Its sad. No matter how just. Misses some danger. Sign. Off the state. Bush which can even be formally less democratic moral. Well you know but somehow they actually. Thought. He was. Not stoned. Well i didnt do this you is no. Longer you seem. To be. Another story were keeping a close eye on this monday washington has slumped new sanctions on hezbollah officials in lebanon its also offering a reward for information on the groups financial activities it is the latest in a series of measures that washington planes are needed to protect the United States and its allies hezbollah remains a threat to the u. S. And allies today with further exposing the terror groups activities and disrupting its Operational Networks all countries should work to restrict its activities and protect themselves. As a Political Party on a militant group in lebanon iran is its main sponsor the u. S. Along with a number of other countries as a terror Group Lebanon is currently facing its worst economic crisis in decades arties redfish documentary project has been looking at how people are surviving you can watch guns for food in full online. Lebannon a small mediterranean nation surrounded by war torn syria to its east is officially at war with the us whose main ally in the region israel which occupies by this time to its south and as a result has been the site of turmoil for most of his recent history and as the country goes through its worst economic crisis to date life has become more bearable to those at the bottom it was as Economic Warfare on lebanon when we took more Economic Warfare we dont just mean the sanctions on iran on hezbollah when the us is sanctioning has one iran which obviously provides funding for hezbollah social welfare institutions these people who have no institutional affiliation to the party are losing their social Welfare Benefits and there is no state to fill this void so theyre left really to starve. Were here today to say that we would need u. S. Intervention in our Domestic Affairs especially after imposing it with. The us is blockade on lebanon today this economic strangulation the aim behind it is to dislodge hezbollah from the government its to disarm hezbollah and to basically eliminate this party altogether its only going to turn people further away from the u. S. You know right into the arms of his beloved the community which already supports hezbollah is going to be even more cohesive than before so its going to backfire. Reus people on the song. And. Those who wish to force us into choosing between 2 options either getting killed by weapons or getting killed by starvation i tell them you know we will continue to carry our weapons and we will not starve and we will kill you.
