About the attacker themselves more information learned about about the victims what do we know at this point. Well we know the nieces waking up to a morning friday morning that they didnt want to be waking up to after the brutal murder that took place just almost 24 hours ago in the cathedral behind me theyre not a place where they should have had sanctuary refuge instead they met the end of their lives president my corn flew to the east in the hours following that brutal attack to pay his to the victims and also to give a message of defiance that france would not give in to terror he called the unity and he called for furnace against such islamic groups. To some said think if were attacked once again it is for our values for our taste of freedom for this possibility on our soil to believe freely and not to give in to any mind of terrorists i say with great clarity once again today we will not give it up this morning we decided to increase the vigilance everywhere in france to adapt to the terrorist threat ive decided that our soldiers will be mobilized in the coming hours and we will up the mobilization within the framework of operational sentinel from 30027000 soldiers on the ground. Well security has now been stepped up at sites across france for religious sites but also schools president mike korn announced the next 4000. 00 security personnel would be deployed. Which was 1st deployed following those attacks in paris in 2015 he said that france well it was announced yesterday that france is now on. Terror alert. Residence a nice waking up to world they certainly would have wanted and couldnt maybe imagine. Very sadly some of them will be getting a sense of deja vu for. Previous hostilities terrorist attacks that happened in that same area how the people if you had a chance to speak to them how they feeling about whats happened. Yes thats right of course nice was the scene of carnage back in 2016 when 86 people were killed when a truck plowed into the pasty celebrations not far from where im stood right now and there is disbelief that yet again the city of nice is seen such terror people hey shocked but there is also anger to. See that the french demand justice who want these people to be deported to their country. There is no safety for the 3 people i didnt want to learn married to build another mosque was it we are in a country that has witnessed atrocities Great Teachers being beheaded priests having slipped people beheaded church thats not france and even if we take in all possible security measures we have been able to come in with a knife and do his deadly deed 0 risk does not exist. I want to talk you through now some of the details we know about the victims of that attack on thursday morning a 60 year old woman who is that the church for the 1st mass there to pray to practice her Christian Faith she was almost by had it in that attack also a 55 year old man named as ross on look is a father of 2 somebody who worked as a sexton in the priscilla described as being a man of faith in somebody whos very d well loved and liked and a 44 year old woman the woman who managed to escape from the carnage scene behind me and to raise the alarm she later died of her injuries but shes been named by a brazilian newspaper simone. 3 of the details we know about the 3 people. And more difficult time for france as a country right now with obviously going back into lockdown the battle against coronavirus thats a huge struggle as it is but there was already huge tension in the country about islamic extremism. Yes thats why for the last few weeks france has been under a cloud not just since the beheading. Of him showing the caricature of the muslim prophet mohammed but even before that 2 weeks before that there had been an attack outside the formal offices with people stabbed there has been one. As a result of how defiant france has been about showing those caricature. Present saying that they would not stop defending the idea of freedom of speech. Lets take a look back now at the events that have happened since that the heading. On one of our competitors was murdered because he taught our compassion was the victim of an islamist terror attack. He asked Muslim Children to. Leave the classroom she did it my son told me he didnt do it to discriminate. He did it to preserve the children to not shock them. Anger has been spilling out in the majority countries with those protests on the burning of effigies of president well let me tell you there is anger here too that this is now the 3rd attack in the last 6 weeks or so that is coming from somebody who migrated to france who came here perhaps for a better life there was of course the 18 year old chechen who killed. Before that there was a pakistani who stepped outside surely and now this new zealand who carried out this horrific attack here that hunger has will do well on to the streets here in nice on thursday evening there was a demonstration by a group an anti immigrant group. Identity they known for many stunts over the last few years such as trying to stop migrants coming over the mediterranean and also trying to close the French Border they took to the streets shouting that islamic needed to be out of europe and in a separate incident yesterday a man linked to that group i was shot dead by police in. New york city just about a couple of hours from where we are in nice after brandishing a gun and of course it was also that incident outside the french consulate in saudi arabia in which a Security Guard was stabbed in the tensions are high on both sides and the reality is that france is back again under that cloud of terror. With the very latest from nice in france about yesterdays attack us our correspondent shallow devinsky live there thank you. Now says the channel of the front spoke with the 1st deputy mayor of nice words a president marker on saying that the country is at war with islamic terrorism. The aggressor decapitated a woman those 3 People Killed are victims of islamist barbarism because the attacker who is dead it is yet to be a standish cried out of whack by several times of course we will have to be relentless in the face of this barbarism we cant leave this battle for our children we have to wage it now using our means of warfare we have to be decisive stick to the law and use new tactics keeping in mind the Current Events in our country in nice we use all the tools at our disposal to Counter Terrorism at the same time were mindful of the fact that the instruments we use that a municipal level are not adequate to help the government in this battle we need additional a lawful means to eradicate islam over fascism. And further details have emerged about the suspect frances antiterrorism prosecutor confirmed that hes a 21 year old tunisian who initially arrived on the italian island of lampedusa just over a month ago claiming to be a refugee it clears it to comment on the case but the mayor of lumber douceur has appealed for stricter migrant policies. The nice attack is an attack on europe the competent or thorough teaser tracing the leads but in any case this is a matter that must lead italian and e. U. Institutions to reflect deeply on what has happened and on the need to deal with the management of migration flows in a different way. The suspect was reportedly carrying a document issued by the italian red cross after being processed at a Refugee Center in lumber douceur who said to have been issued a notice of expulsion before italian authorities lost track of the cases causing an uproar in rome where calls are growing for the interior minister to step down and produce has been on the front line of europes migrant crisis with the island bearing the brunt of refugee arrivals into italy Foreign Policy expert for the riga bindy says that the nice attack has exposed a wider european problem. The fact that is 1st and came through it was that theres clearly that immigration illegal immigration in there you can see its not only any greek problem but its a european problem which has to be there is there such which is wired to the south that border that greece has said a lot of time unless we work all together and and its together there is no way to fix it we think we have. This is the aftermath that these are thats Richard Matsch harder to detect match harder to to stop and i see it as a reaction to. The global south happening now treat it will matter and such. I am i am now. In the ng and. Commemorations took place right across france on thursday with bells ringing out of churches including the not in laws in the south of the country and also in paris they are among the cathedrals are joined together to ring bells at 3 pm in memory of those who lost their lives we discussed the background to the tragic events in nice with a panel of experts. When we see what goes on with the stream of speech it annoys a lot of people and the people that sharing our chose to track theyre not doing it because of Charlie Hebdo theyre not doing it because of whats going on there they use its serves as a useful way of giving what theyre planning to do anyway legitimacy you know there are a lot of people who disagree with charlie or dont its all just thousands of what you would call is a list is a mystic stream ists. Lets go to few more terrorists theres very few people who actually do the deal if the Charlie Hebdo was so offensive was so horrible surely they could be thousands of people on the street stabbing one another its not its a tiny tiny minority what is it about the tiny minority that distinguishes them from all the rest of us and thats why you have to look at this individual level when one starts it almost gives legitimacy to the others so the reason that france has raised its terrorism level is because it takes one and its kind of like a rally around the flag now were all going to go because it becomes rational or when you think that you will get legitimacy for it. Thats 6000000 muslims living in france you have a certain percentage who are ready to kill you in the last year and then. Branch has developed on the outlook as well that from Seminar School security is. What france needs right now much more. Sort of reconciliation and more polarized. I would hope that things have been going more in the polarizing but again supported by the majority of the french. Meanwhile muslim countries are indignant over frances stance on freedom of expression to say that they are offended by president microns remarks on islam as well as by his defense of the right to mock religion though his rallies took place in the libyan and israeli capitals as the islamic world celebrated the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad demonstrators carried by those condemning the french president earlier this month and proclaimed that islam was in crisis. In libya were local businesses gone as far as to place images of the french president on the shop floor for customers to stand on there are calls for muslims across the world to boycott fronts. As you see here in the country. Its a little bit angry because of what happened. Insulting the messenger of god Prophet Muhammad under the pretext of democracy is not considered democracy and as for france honestly we want to tell you that your statements are offensive to every arab muslim and to the whole world that we demand. Back. And that. Is playing with fire in this case. I denounce from offending the prophet. And denounce and every people to be anything different from the ground. Of the latest attack in nice and the beheading of samuel party 2 weeks ago has led to fingers being pointed at the french governments policy towards muslims what is more i guess the of takes a closer look something in france is broken and it is france nowhere else in europe is there this much terror killing and a complete breakdown and Mutual Respect and understanding these latest attacks there just that the latest you know not clearly its inhumane it is highly reprehensible and i hope that justice will be served this is attack who deserves it i do have words as a matter of fact its really shocking. That pain i feel sorrow it makes me crazy so crazy its impossible to see this im speechless i dont know what to say. A year ago macro and warned against stigmatizing muslims were all one people he said since then something has changed now hes talking about islam of separatism shutting down dozens and dozens of Muslim Charities and organizations and has unveiled a plan to domesticate is law. That of our citizens of this law my faith must be protected against the evil of radical islam i say it here because the will of the islamists of its ideologues is precisely to the heart of our citizens of and against the republic using their religion and we cannot let that happen. Macro involves forbidding frenchmans from training overseas so restricting foreign funding for religious organizations giving the government control over religious subsidies and you loon you get money if you sign a contract saying you respect french values he even has a name for this new french islam the islam of enlightenment all everyone is about macros little cult and specifically his cracked out on Muslim Charities and and geos government still goes on to divide us it will create separate groups in society and it is not the solution such that the with in association with some duty maybe some people who come in but not everybody in the right to breath is their religion is the want so we come closer police work should be like the. Us. Government to calm the tensions down today we have to be careful and not developing and then to Muslim Hatred it makes no sense and it is dangerous 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 muslims are not guilty for the terror attacks the government is not responsible either so precisely both have to discuss the problem find salute. And respect each other it is incredible how simple cartoons can cause this much bloodshed and hated misunderstanding one side sees these cartoons as nothing but an insult and a public stunt which essentially they are intended only to insult and offend more than a 1000000000 people the other side including the french government sees it as an expression of free speech. Than any god and free speech is a constitutional right of any french citizen. And we will not give up caricaturists or drawings even if others retreat started this freedom and look at caricature not necessarily of mohammad but we look at kind of freedom of expression frankly i think its horrible what happened is were hampering our freedom of expression the freedom to learn know for 14 years charlie has reprinted these cartoons at regular intervals a magazine with a very modest circulation has now found a cash cow peoples feelings and beliefs for which they themselves have paid a high price. And. Swore never to give up these characters and jury. Even if everyone else does only further angering muslims oh yeah Needs Mental Health treatment what else can be said to a head of state who does not understand freedom of belief and paves in this way to millions of People Living in this country who are members of a different faith muslims are the primary victims of the cult of hatred empowered by colonial regimes and exported by their own clients insulting 1100000000 muslims and their sanctities for the apparent crimes of such extremists is not between a stick abuse of freedom of speech and only fuels extremism the recent statements that the leadership level is the dence of this a creation of the holy quran a reflection of this increasing islamophobia that is spreading in European Countries we must explain to the western world the value systems differ for different social and religious and ethnic groups in the world backgrounds tough talk has so far completely failed france as they are seen as an enemy in the muslim world islam or phobic so boycotts protests and all that as there is little project is planned essentially domesticate islam in france may be the most and bishes thing has undertaken which i think chief executive of the u. K. s Ramadan Foundation says that france has policy towards its Muslim Community over the last few decades has had a negative impact. You have to also look at whats been happening over these past few months with president warren and supporting it can reach or the prophet mohammed which is set out do you not think got to cause harm when hate to go to feelings of muslims around the world that has been decades of discrimination and harassment mass unemployment people live in the ghettos and all you know work being done to bring the mainstream to bring rage was slims into the image the image tackled their issues so this is a consequences all successive governments over decades you know lets be clear that president michel on when he adopts the language of class and civilization is adopting the language of what the terrorists want to do they want to divide communities. With the coronavirus pandemic pounding Health Care Systems across europe the blocks leaders have decided that urgent actions necessary new restrictions and how to boost hospital care are among the items table during the Video Conference of e.
