A lot more than the supporters might think. Those were russian evolutionary biologist establishes that there are some 20000 mutations of coronavirus we talked to him about the implications. I think its a blessing the crown of our says both more slowly than other r. N. A. Viruses but still its a very quick process. Are you watching R T International thanks for joining us. The turkish president has again publicly questioned the Mental Health of his french counterpart his anger in the muslim world over a crackdown on suspected is the mists in france intensifies the crackdown was almost after a recent beheading near paris critics though say its driven by blatant islamophobia. Reports from the french capital. President mac. One 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 does not understand freedom of belief and who behaves in this way to millions of People Living in this country who are members of a different faith 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. In the absence of any official to organise condemnation or solidarity from the turkish authorities after the terrorist attack in gaza flan sent on the rain low incomes hateful and slanderous propaganda against france in recent days expressing their will to stir hatred against the us president words with 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 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 the comments that president back on made saying that they are likely to harm franco muslim relations now weve been chatting to people here in france about what they know. 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 few radicalized individuals the government is bending everyone with the same brush and they punish the entire Muslim Community for it in this elite a person did it it is sad to say that from fear to close mosques is useless and especially crazy if the government still goes on to divide us it will create separate groups in society and it is not the solution but the muslim mosques and associations and im guilty maybe some people who come in but not everybody people have the right to practice their religion is the war and so we can close a police of worship like that ass expect our government to calm the tensions down today we have to be careful of not developing and then to Muslim Hatred it makes no sense and it is dangerous but 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 solutions and respect each other. President barack obama has been steadfast about this tweeting on sunday night that nothing will make us rich treats 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 why didnt we discuss the reaction of muslim countries with middle east expert who says that the boycott demonstrations are a sign of misunderstanding. First of all when you boycott such a country or a certain region it doesnt change anything and if you want change the politics of this country and these people that are frequenting french products dont understand this french way of life french people are not against islam but the they are against radical islam president is almost criticised because of the french politicians feel that the president actually. Is not doing is not doing anything and yet this radical islam so 2 weeks ago he announced that he wants to try to stop this at least in france and he wants to really they must face. You know just with the value of french culture. Violent scenes of unfolded in new york psychotic times square after donald Trump Supporters got into a vicious fistfight with their opponents. I. Was 4 people were arrested after a driver in a cavalcade of Trump Supporters was brought on the street with a female anti trying to demonstrate a piece were seen putting on an injured man who was lying on a stretcher. On the face of it donald trump and joe biden are at opposite ends of the political spectrum but whoever gets voted into Office AmericasForeign Policy could end up staying pretty much unchanged descaler more but looks at why the democratic nominee may not be the alternative until trumpets are looking for. 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 trying to move the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem a biden has said ministration will build on these steps challenge other 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 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 any time soon we 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 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 of. I would be putting pressure on china to put pressure on korea i would not meet with the Supreme Leader who said joe why use a rabid dog rabid dogs like biden can heard lots of people of 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 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 artsy new york. Was benedict from the Us Libertarian National Committee told us that while bugs approach to Foreign Policy may look most sophisticated at 1st glance he sensually not any different from Donald 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 situation getting worse globally r. T. Spoken to a leading evolutionary biologists through skin ducted an extensive analysis of the coronavirus genome explain to us how its mutated and how outbreaks should be dealt with you can catch the worship of this interview on a website on t. Dot com heres a 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 thus 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. 00 versions of the same corona virus that is believed to have her regenerated and. 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 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. Like the rest of the world the war torn region the go in the car or bark is dealing with rising covert infections and you ceasefire between armenia and azerbaijan is given some hope but the local Health System is simply overwhelmed and is man on the ground it is done for ports. Its the 2nd coming over from merely a villain europes new wave of covert 19 is forcing people to social distance and avoid Mass Gatherings but here in the mountainous region of the going to camp back in the south caucasus locals have a starkly different reason to avoid crowds and shelter in basements. Theres a heavy influx of Wounded Soldiers from the front lines and civilians from shelled towns many hospitals have been bombed too but the situation is so dire some of them had no choice but to stay off aeration oh our Health System is a work lot is. Because of that deceased cant treat cases properly. Show us apart from those wounded the number of coronavirus patients has multiplied over the past week among soldiers and civilians alike including doctors in our hospital almost all doctors have had coronavirus or are currently sick but we keep working we have no time to rest and recover when i ask people here if they are a tool concerned about the pandemic many think its a joke in very poor taste 1st they have to get through this war or unaware as doesnt bore their anyone here that much. Was going to my World Health Organization cares about coronavirus people are dying of the problem is real but here people are dying for Different Reasons fighting bombings grown viruses taking a backseat theres no other worry here but to see sons husbands grandchildren and fathers return from the front line alive donna reporting from the go in a cab back. Tensions in the going to cover box stretch back for more than 3 decades the latest fighting escalated in late september. Have agreed to pause hostilities for a 3rd time now but they accuse each other of violating the truce bodies also spilled beyond the borders of the disputed region local journalist only a day reports from the azerbaijani city of tal which has become a target. Almost im always hopeful 1st since the beginning of the conflict and this so this cells have nots up here in the city of toronto was the region is show think in basement the danger of coronavirus isnt a surreal straight or being killed by ok then a clue its true that the current virus has been a bit forgotten because of the war were concerned about all about the war this where all our attention is focused we want to free our lands from enemy occupation and return their. Covert 19 is nothing compared to the war the armenians are worse than the coronavirus 1st we have to take care of them we have to get rid of them and with gods help the time has come and once weve done with that we will worry about the coronavirus no frontline village use our seasons so again coming and the heavy artillery and rocket fire. Again right here right now as a result of all 4 do reckless smear me so 16 year old teenager have died in the garden of his home despite the heavy ethics local residents are still remain here do farming greece livestock and so did little to intend to leave their homes we should stay with our team more news coming up after this break. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business im showbusiness ill see you then. Is your media a reflection of reality.

Currently facing its worst economic crisis for decades to come entry making outfit redfish has taken a look at how people there are coping you can watch guns for food in full on you tube has blown 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. Well theres bill as a Political Party and militant group in lebanon around its main sponsor the u. S. Along with a number of other countries regard it to be a terrorist group. Ok lebanon as i said is currently facing its worst economic crisis for decades well show you now a clip from this documentary from the group red fish about how people are coping. Lebannon a small mediterranean nation surrounded by war torn syria to its east is officially at war with the us his 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 his Economic Warfare in lebanon when we took more Economic Warfare we dont just mean the sanctions on iran on hezbollah when the us is sanctioning hezbollah and 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 were rejected any of us intervention in our Domestic Affairs especially after imposing a dilemma not the u. S. 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 hezbollah that the community which already supports hezbollah is going to be even more cohesive than before so its going to backfire. And will not lead to us. Reus people on the so. T
