The one which is established in germany this is a cultural and political process if somebody doesnt show you its not the end of the world. And the you country think looting germany rollout drastic new measures to counter a 2nd wave of covert 90 s case numbers surge beyond the peak seen back in the spring. And welcome you are watching R T International with me becky erin its great to have you with us our top story the french government has all of the closure of a mosque accused of inciting violence a place of worship outside paris had posted a video calling for a campaign against a history teacher after he showed caricature was of the Prophet Muhammad to his class well october the 16th some your party was beheaded by a terrorist the mostly the early apologized for posting the clip but the now the shut down order. Everybody knows that i am a socalled moderate muslim that i call for tolerance open mindedness ive got the impression that they just need to throw someone under the bus the mosque will be closed for 6 months starting on wednesday its leaders have been given 48 hours to a pill the decision in Court Members of the congregation believes they shouldnt be punished for the teachers murder. On are crucial to man we have a very kind of mom who speaks to us in a rabid confounds and doesnt tell people what to do it she never gathered our us together to tell us to do anything bad. For George Orwell i dont know if i told people you should go and buy weapons and then they go and buy weapons and kill someone im not responsible for that. Im not happy about the mosques closure im against what happened to the teacher i condemn it i do not agree with those who committed the crime but for the mosque its a shame. Since the murder several french t. V. Channels have started airing the controversial cartoons in defense of free speech and dozens of raids have already been carried out against suspected islamists but law abiding muslims now said they will suffer from the governments response has solid dubinsky reports. In the wake of samuel pattis gruesome murder the french state wants to show that its being quick to act police have raided the homes of islam is activists engaged on social networks more than 80 investigations for online hatred have been arrests have already taken place since yesterday around 50 associative structures will see a certain number of visits from state services all week long and several of them my suggestion will be dissolved in the council of ministers this latest terror attack is only likely to harden the state starts until its already led to more accusations that muslims need to take cover or are calling me asking me whether i was really that or not so we have who are into the everybody is scared that there would be 5 or 6 oclock in the morning here that you know i would have to be careful of what i post and my freedom of speech as a human rights activist is literally on the balance among still going on as ations in the crossfire n. G. O. S including the collective against islamophobia in france also known as c c i f it describes itself as being a Human Rights OrganizationWhose Mission is to combat islamophobia but frances interior minister says the group is linked to a parent to launched a fatwa against teacher samuel party which it thought led to his assassination it received state age we have evidence to say that it is an enemy of the republic c c o f says it is the victim here since yesterday we have been the target of Death Threats and to complain of hatred that demands the disillusion of. Face through so many smears of incredible indecency given the context our team is now receiving growing support thank you from the heart rates following terror attacks are commonplace but for some of these purges dont target the room. But the problem this problem be so widespread were talking. Big literally thousands of people who are would be deemed to be in some way straight used to be terrorists in the u. K. In paris in france. Other come so theres just an enormous number of people on the very speaking out to. Me from the treatment that will do some good but this is a problem im sure thats going to go through a long time to come and least a generation islam is im in france was already in the spotlight in recent weeks president emanuel might call that outlying details of the new nor aimed at protecting frances secular republic from foreign influence is not cohen said a minority of the countrys estimated 6000000 muslims were in danger of forming around to society and accusations followed that he was trying to a price is law in france associations to defend the rights of muslims who are bought off by microns police in short the message is muslims were going to screw you up. Well the french unanimously condemned the attack which led to the beheading for professor yesterday some take the opportunity to settle their scores by slipping into the most abject islamophobia the interior minister says its now possible to see how political islam has joined forces with radical islam and ultimately is leading to terrorism many muslims may now feel that they are under attack with suggestions that some real parties death opens the floodgates to a political trial of those organizations say they struggle against islamophobia charlotte even r. T. Paris. France and germany have the largest muslim populations in europe and both grappling with similar integration issues as evidenced by a recent case in germany not involve the lebanese doctor who has been denied citizenship there or because he wouldnt shake hands with a female official if the applicant refuses to shake hands for gender specific reasons which are incompatible with the constitution there is no integration into german Living Conditions the man who has not been publicly named moved to germany 18 years ago he completed his medical studies there and now works as a senior physician in his citizenship test he got top marks in german history and values but of course described his refusal to shake a womans hand as indicative of fundamentalist views the doctor denies that saying he simply vowed never to touch any woman other than his wife but this is all the 1st time that the traditional greeting has courted controversy a muslim couple was similarly denied swiss citizenship again for refusing to shake hands with members of the opposite sex officials though they showed a lack of respect for gender equality but not all cases go the same way for example a muslim woman in sweden was compensated when her Job Interview was cut short because she wouldnt extend her hands to a man we had some contrast in views on the issue. The. Procedure just showed that there was a problem with the integration process of this person and you cannot look into peoples hearts and minds but that was a clear signal that he still is here to a totally different belief and value system than the one which is established in germany since centuries and therefore i find it correct that they took this as a signal syrians and rejected the naturalisation of the live in his person rainer this is a cultural and political process and we have freedom of belief and conscience and youre right there are limits to that i agree and i help governments in this country and elsewhere tackle radicalization extremism terrorism audience for decades just trust me. If somebody doesnt shake hands and he is carrying out his actions as a doctor treating patients on a regular basis its not the end of the world hes a contributing taxpaying that society and we should have tolerance if this is a sign of bad in chanterelle he regards the women as a seductive as a danger for his own behavior and then this shows that he has brought up with himself really an outdated view of women and this will create further clashes in the future of this is a part of our culture of life that she didnt need it changed in no way so who cannot accept this culture should simply not work here or long for this it doesnt ship of such a country you dont get to tell muslims what this messed up the action of a stalinist at least the. Policies in place to protect not what is going on is about the truth what its lost in smaller liberties about things. Principles general principle democrats if you want to pretend that you need to add here to some basic value systems. Otherwise the society will fall apart and in the end all the nation states will fall apart and maybe this is in the interest of many people but in my dreams and its normal is that we should ensure that europe to conserve society in that complexity that we already have in their colorful ness and keep them as open and really tolerance basis without radical views. Just a couple of days after being signed the 2nd truce between armenia and azerbaijan seems that risk of collapse fighting continues across the disputed nagornokarabakh region spilling beyond its borders as well local journalist al mirrorless as a day was caught up in shelling while reporting from alcide and as the by johnny factory. Lets listen to what you did notice about those almost you out of many a good one that also vision because you know you know absolutely with me of the gross complicity of desire for Peter Roebuck you do know. That most nights you dont produce but there are stars tell us is this new admins that bassma. Will smooth. Fighting today was a long time from fly to has been walked into the direction of. So exposed to so often and so loudly that we could heard it from the neighboring city which is sort of kilometers far from there from flying as it only morning clear went to the top and there were closed off the war this has became an a. P. So in terms of artillery tanks from army inside still continues now and so that to text. The territorial feud stretches back more than 3 decades and flared up at the at the end of september but as sides are blaming each other for civilian casualties and damage soldiers on the karabakh front line claim the azerbaijani side is south of targeting the ceasefire. In reality the truce has not been upheld as for defensive positions there has been no shooting but we hear from the positions on our right and left explosions i assure you that is from the adverse reason not from us this is one of the. By the is very special you know and ive been fighting against the as a response the 990. 00 s. And again i fight against them so their perverted feet will not step in our queen armenian land dont pollute our homeland we wont allow it it doesnt matter from how many countries they bring mercenaries nothing can beat an armenian soldier when an armenian soldier stand strongly. On his feet he will repel anyone no one can enter our armenian lands but you. A 2nd wave of covert 1000 is gathering pace across europe with belgium france and spain among the worst affected are those countries along with the u. K. Now have higher caseload then during the earlier peaks back in spring and i resorted to some tough new containment measures as peace all of the reports. Lots to get through different measures being taken in Different Countries across europe will start from where im talking to you from here in germany while most of germany has got off pretty lightly compared to its european neighbors what weve seen on tuesday is a full red alert announced in the back this god no region of the varia in the south of the country 2 and a half 1000 tourists being told youve got to go and they have to go immediately that says the berchtesgaden a region goes into this full lockdown what that means is that schools are going to be closed all of them are going to be counselled restaurants are only open for takeout and people have been told only to leave their homes if theres a good reason to do it now those good reasons do include business and also exercise but it is a serious step being taken by the authorities in bavaria there and in poland which is one of those countries that fared reasonably well in the spring when we 1st saw over 19 ripped through europe its not doing so well now with the government there is put in place a series of measures which includes things like closing gyms however we have seen some fitness clubs attempting to get round that one in crack of in particular has relaunched itself as a church of the healthy body in an attempt to circumvent ban on gyms places of worship are allowed to open but while they are doing that the authorities in poland taking things a little more seriously in fact theyve turned the National Stadium in warsaw into a makeshift hospital as the jew the polish government prepares for the worst she moves the chinese we must also think about darcus naurus if we are not able to stop the pandemic in our country temporary hospitals will be necessary we opened the 1st Field Hospital here we are ready to open a network of similar hospitals around the country in the near future in spain more. More cities going into lockdown for 2 weeks nevada the latest to do just that thats around 650000. 00 people will be locked down they join parts of madrid as well as. Areas in the castiel and leon area that have also been put into into lockdown that means bars restaurants wont be able to open it supposed to last for around 2 weeks but that could roll on depending on infection rate spain saw 25000 extra infections of covert 19 over the weekend moving north and the island is heading into 6 weeks of whats being called the extreme lockdown the Prime Minister of ireland may call martin said that households would not be allowed to mix with one another and youre not supposed to go more than 5 kilometers from your own home in measures that will last until the beginning of december now in introducing this extreme lockdown the irish Prime Minister said he did see a light at the end of the tunnel i understand and i feel very personally i prefer. The sense of disappointment the feelings of loneliness perhaps even this the despair the dissonance and will bring for many if we pull together over the next 6 weeks we would have the opportunity to celebrate christmas in a meaningful way or last week belgium puts itself into a lockdown where by and restaurants would be closed for a couple of weeks however despite that politicians are still warning about the threat of a tsunami of infections is how they are calling it and also if we look in italy the lawn that the region has seen a huge spike in infections thats prompted the introduction of a nighttime curfew hospitals theyre concerned that they may become overwhelmed as they did back in the spring and the 1st wave of code. 19 doctors saying that the reason for this curfew the reason they believe is behind this spike is people well people going about their daily lives and trying to get back to normal as much as possible. Respiratory viruses do not have legs it is people who spread them long body is a very dynamic region very active with a lot of population and then a large concentration of population in the cities doing a lot of things seen a lot of people having a lot of work in a meeting activities facilitates the spread of the wires but overall its a pretty bleak picture here in europe one big question that nobody seems to be able to answer though is why countries like germany sweden and denmark arent bearing the brunt as much as their neighbors. Are still to come this hour the mare of manchester is locking horns with big u. K. Government over an upcoming lockdown for the area home to almost 3000000. 00 people that story and more coming up after the break. When i was sure seemed wrong. But all wrong just dont call. Me. Yet to shape out this day become educated and it gets written because betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Up. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person of those. Who dares thinks. We dare to ask. Welcome back the u. K. s new covert 19 restrictions of spocks a political firestorm the marrow of Greater Manchester has lashed out at the government saying is pushing people into poverty with an upcoming lockdown the british Prime Minister baraks johnson confirms the plans will be forced on the region off the talks collapsed early on tuesday. We made a generous and extensive offer to support his business didnt accept this unfortunately given the Public Health situation i must marry proceed with moving Greater Manchester as i say to the very high level no point today will be offered in order to protect the poorest people in our communities through the punishing reality of the winter to come even now i am still willing to do a deal but it cannot be on the terms that the government offered today because on those terms i could not meet the commitments i made to people on the lowest incomes i now look to palm and to be make a judgment on a fair Financial Framework for 3. Really striking about this latest disagreement is the politicize ation of it as seen by. With labor. Holding out saying that the city with its falling number of cases since its peak in september shouldnt be going into 3 lockdown not at least without some kind of sufficient financial package from the Central Government now initially the mayor had said that his team. Did close around 90000000. 00 pounds as part of our package the governments figure was around 60000000. 00 but they just couldnt seem to come to an agreement eventually the government put forward only 22000000. 00 pounds a figure seen as somewhat of an insult and vindictive by me here in manchester course speaking to some of the locals on the street the majority of them backing the position of the mayor and really proud of andy burnham the mayor of manchester for really they were the way the b. B. C. Put it was bending them into government over a barrel and really sticking hard on this one and defending those people because that the economic package they announced just it work keep people alive i do think its very good that hes holding. For Financial Measures because we do need that and it hasnt been done enough. But also there is a point where you cannot hold human lives as a leverage anymore a big place and to think about giving people the correct by not just people are going to be able to survive a bit so. Its very stupid standoff there against the backdrop of falling cases and yet the government still insisting this part of the country should be going into 2 or 3 lockdown what that means for those especially the lowest paid in the cities well its going to be a long dark winter ahead. Starting on friday Greater Manchester will be put in th
