Nation full mobilization comes just weeks after shortly after the satirical magazine which was attacked back in 2015 we published controversial cartoons which im good many people in the muslim world those qualities of the muslim prophet mohammed and many people criticized Charlie Hebdo for once again we publishing that tomorrow start over the terror trial a trial north of the people carried out that attack but over individuals who are accused of assisting with that attack so perhaps putting the terrorists in their homes or financially supporting them so we have to said that this was about defending freedom of speech and it wanted to show that it wasnt scared that following that republication magazine once again received fresh. Is once again threatened by terrorist organizations threats that constitute a real brutal cation in the midst of the trial all the general read 2015 attacks. I had 10 minutes to gather my things and leave my home 10 minutes to leave behind a part of my life thats a bit sure its very brutal well its not clear whether these 2 incidents are connected death but we do know that this is being treated very seriously indeed because of the investigation thats been opened by the national and to the Terrorism Agency you might be able to see around here the air is all cordoned off and there is a security operation rules here including military from operations all to well this was the French Military operation that was launched back in 2015 when france started experiencing large waves of terror attacks in a statement star for the surely have done a magazine express their support for the victims and their families is that such incidents just show fanaticism and intolerance that still exists in france. Joining us live now is attorney costello in paris thank you for joining us on the program its good to see you now french authorities are closing this as a terror attack does that suggest is directly linked to the surely have reprint of the mohammed car too. Hello thanks for having me yes i thought. On was directly linked to the show of. Attack 5 years ago because it has been at the same spot. At the same hour that it has been. 5 years ago and. It is it is scheduled on the same day and on the same hour so this pakistani man who attacked these 2 journalists. Is disturbing to deny think at the same place where the head quarter of shelly have used to be 5 years ago given that the address is formally actually had those offices but now i need another nice friends stuff now where i do think security would have been a concern for them. Very concerned because surely have the. Headquarter there is located in a very secret place all the journalists of charlotte have those are our 24247. People dont know where exactly they are going and these. These attacks are done at the same time that surely have those terrorist groups have all the journalists are being charged in court these days at the paris court. Prior to this sunday had their workers had reported receiving threats what else do you think frank to authorities could have done to avert what appears to be a lone wolf attack. Theres theres nothing you can do because its a lot as you say. It happens everywhere and. Like we can say al qaeda and this president because shall have the partition just a few days before the trial they publish the cartoons of the prophet mohammad and their newspaper and. Pregnant again and say weve done that back you on going to kill you well theres no if it nothing that can be done because anyone anywhere any muslim planet can i thank anyone or any journalist on the street and proclaim that they been sent by al qaeda. As following the incident surely had to magazines as if this incident demonstrates that intolerance and fanaticism still exist in French Society is that how you say it its how you see it because lets say for freedom of speech in trance its very complicated president bush speech in france is included in the constitution of france but its sort of a lot of exceptions. You cannot you cannot. Talk about homosexuals if you are homophobia you cannot talk about women if your most. You cannot park in what. Are their religion if it consists of antisemitism of racism for example donald trump 5 years ago when he wanted to become a president after. He said that makes against ken are killers and the rapist if you say that in france you can you can be indicted by justice and you can go to jail are be indicted by the by the by the court. Saw theres a big problem here in france we dont have a law we dont have freedom of speech as we have it in other places so its very complicated thats interesting isnt it because many muslims found sali had those cartoons highly offensive so does frances robust defense of free speech conflicts with what to stun is high speed. Its not a speech because in france we have we still have the freedom of speech you have the right to do cartoons about anyone you want you can do cartoons so if youre a cartoon about christian about christianity or judaism but even about islam but if you do it about islam theres distin jet that you might get killed by anyone that can walk by your way ari can. Try to kill you like 5 years ago you had those brothers who went to surely have killed all these people and laid there on the earth. But actually where the concert was held every day and they keep all the 130 people so this is this is a real problem here when you criticize a certain there person like the prophet maher but its not the freedom of speech still exists but you might get q so a lot of journalists a lot of people get scared of criticizing that. Thats the problem here in france who are shallow attorney at law in paris thank you for your time thank you very much.

K. Project risky reckless irresponsible typical of russia how risky a human challenge trials. Theres been no official confirmation of the report one of the British Government has said its open to such studies writing university microbiology biologist dr simon clock says desperate times call for desperate measures. For a certain usual of course if we had effective treatments the rush for a back seat would. Wouldnt be so be so strong its not optimal or an optimal way of doing it ideally youd let. The virus normally. Need to must live it will drive our backs are against the wall on this and weve really got to be able to come up with a vaccine in pretty short order so i think some people think this is a way of doing it you know you need to its a sub optimal way of doing trials no 2 ways about it the fact is the hospitals in this country in the spring were gone by lots and lots of people who were seriously ill many of whom were literally unable to breathe and needed the attention of intensive care that meant. That the hospitals were unable to discharge their normal caseload and that was the basic problem. Major Car Companies including tesla have filed lawsuits against the trumpet ministration for what they call unlawful tariffs on chinese made parts they blame the president s trade war with beijing and claim they cant find alternative manufacture is. The story. Tesla sawston serious speeding its way to dominating the car industry but it may have reached a bit of a roadblock increase tariff schools economics. Through the increase of costs and impact to profitability due to the complexity of the model 3 car computer and the demanding timelines necessary for teslas exponential growth to ses unable to find another manufacturer to meet our requirements tesla has filed a lawsuit against the trump. Ministration y. Well t. Components the company uses namely the computer temps are made in china and as luck would have it these parts are subject to 25 percent tariffs as part of trumps tough on china strategy edo musk says its a car crash and the tariffs are all poetry capricious and an abuse of this question probably not what a president wants to hear from one of his countrys greatest minds who hes fine gold in the past is one of our great geniuses and we have to protect im with must say single says probably not what trump had in mind when he promised to make America Great again protecting our workers on protecting our companies to trade war hurts them doesnt hurt us with a hole in his pocket now musk is asking for a refund with interest of course on all the tax hes already had to pay and tess is not the only Company Spinning out of the big hits is like miss a days fortune volvo have also decided to sue trump and co they are irony of all this is all while these tariffs are quite literally driving away business for americans and europeans for beijing theyve been a road to diversification i dont create profit but you know the trade friction between china and us puts pressure on Companies Whose main market is the us well the value of exposed to the u. S. Has decreased companies have been exploring multiple markets the result is remarkable and is enlarged known u. S. Markets well the u. S. Market for chinese products has shrunk so chinas overall exports keep growing but so was no doubt for President Trump who 4 years ago said the cards were in american hands we have the cards dont forget were like the piggy back this being roped we cant continue to allow china to rape our country and thats what theyre doing its their greatest gift in the history of the world while 4 years on the u. S. Trade deficit with. China is almost 10 percent more than when trump said those wads and for years on end looks like its now tester and co who are the ones looking into that piggy banks and saying empty wads not those gold coins they were promised Chinese Affairs analyst to make to get out told us he believes trumps efforts to disrupt supply chains will fail to justify the destructive tariff walls are not for china its also not the United States that tariffs are not paid by china but tariffs are paid by the American Consumers and the american importers the chinese export to the United States is not sure again it is in logic and as a rule our farm role was not to be able to overnight at shoprite shades of knots of build or destroy its overnight no it is much more complicated china is exports but also help the many other manufacturers in making their businesses successful thats why i dont think President Trump or his followers was succeed in their attempt to just drop the supply chain or to for example force American Companies to move back to the United States see carved economics simply doesnt work that way. Still to convert to needs to go green and theres a lot of hot tab for Hydrogen Energy but is the oil firms leading the charge so whats the catch he explains after this. Its a culture war consumes american politics during this election cycle the economy remains in a big area millions of little margins the only constant for them is the insecurity economists debate and eventually the recovery do you and you know what is the reality. Going to. Be. Welcome back russias rolled out a list of what is sees as inconsistent things on discrepancies in germanys handling of the suspected poisoning of kremlin critic alexina found they mean while france says its in close contact with lin and other allies as they draw up appropriate response so what they call a serious assault on International Standards long calls who oppose more on the growing diplomatic spat. Russian Foreign Ministry said that they evade evidence that surrounding novel in this case is questionable not only from a legal point of few also germanys actions were coordinated to the point that it prompted many questions including whether it was all staged germanys actions were so swift and well organized that it began to raise questions as to whether were seeing yet another staging of the mysterious use of chemical weapons but this time around not in syria or britain but in russia now there are probably several reasons as to why the russian Foreign Ministry is saying that what you just heard now divided they received the fish oils welcome when he was airlifted from siberia its a burden there were Security Officials there its a meet him there was special transport and all other attributes that pointed that it was staged in order to accuse russia of chemical weapons violation with the o. P. C. W according to the Foreign Ministry now after german officials announced that not violently was allegedly poisoned they demanded answers from the kremlin and moscow made several requests of burden to share their findings about russian officials insisted they cant launch and in a criminal case without any evidence after all russian doctors have not found any trace of poisoning in this system the German Government is actively obstructing the preliminary probe conducted in russia over the new valmy incident thus preventing the truth from being established bearing witness to the answers there unequivocal refusal to cooperate with either the russian Law Enforcement and medics all the Prosecutor Generals Office now russias Foreign Ministry also questions the evidence that was supposedly airlifted along with nevada made in a german airplane along with its crew all the way its a bird and now this statement noted their Perfect Health after his alleged poison. Thing the Foreign Ministry also said it was something amazing bordering with Science Fiction there are political motives behind this whole story as is evidenced by the fact that germany was withholding information about the bottle allegedly tainted with highly toxic chemicals which was picked up in the hotel room in by novell needs associates in breach of the russian criminal procedural code and the subsequent illegal shipment of this bottle to germany clearly such proof is rather dubious from a legal standpoint just as dubious is how unprofessionally in terms of Chemical Protection novell needs associates and german medics were handling this item without the mandatory hazmat suits on there are also questions regarding the fact that people who were around the valley at the airport and on board the plane are all feeling well although you would think that they would be seriously affected but this didnt happen apparently thanks to some miraculous coincidence again the whole case is rife with inexplicably things bordering on fiction now a month after he was allegedly poisoned with a lethal neurotoxic agent of the chalk and the violin a has now been discharged from the german clinic doctors are saying that hes on the way to a full recovery theres still seem to be more questions than answers surrounding this case the thing youre pointing at russia however began long before the release of any specific data. Britons announced a massive commitment to Green Hydrogen as part of earth is to be Carbon Neutral by 25th day and Prime MinisterBarak Johnson has given it his full backing quite extraordinary potential we have so far when we want to lead in Carbon Capture and storage of technology i barely believe was possible but im not a complete evangelist do we want to use those technologies to develop a lot of hydrogen going to be a big bit on hydrogen. Thought a lot of purposes and not least the ability that hydrogen has to provide a lot of grunt for. The trucks the trains for even cups of planes vehicles. On paper Green Hydrogen looks like clear winner against full full fields is made using Renewable Energy and the only by products are oxygen and water but its Mechanical Engineering professor david thi bond says the technology is incredibly inefficient. Economy. Through. You have to build a very large amount of renewable electricity just to give you an example if you power home heating directly. Through a camp with electricity or you do the same thing through hydrogen you need 6 times more electricity to do it through harder and we are at a time in human life where the amount of renewable electricity is limited this is not freely available if youre still trying to to. To carbonized the entire Global Energy system and to require 6 times more power to one system than another its completely obvious that you dont want to do that the Hydrogen Taskforce a lobbying group founded by the likes of oil giants b. P. And shell has been pushing the government to commit to hydrogen one of the goals is 100 percent Clean Hydrogen hating in a country by 2025 they also want Financial Support to build hydrogen for stations fuel stations for road transport but critics say the oil giants know hydrogen isnt a long term solution. We know that Global Warming is dangerous the additional danger here is that is that this gesture hydrogen is cool is going to cause a lot more delay what we will see if there is no doubt that well see that hydrogen is far too expensive for vehicles and too expensive for home heating we know that we know thats going to happen but its going to take quite a few years before people realize that thats the dash to hydrogen which is being promoted by a very powerful international lobby. In the in the in the fossil fuel industry well thats doing its causing delay its causing electrification projects not to happen its causing governments not to make decisions about what to do and you remember that we only have until 2040 to completely decarbonise if were going to get to i dont want to have to reduce of Global Warming its detrimental to Carbon Emissions its detrimental to energy usage there to mentally and session rates and still a commendable to the Energy Security so its got everything there with that and nothing good with it.
