Terrorism but we also want the right for our voice to be heard in these countries on. How they want to play you. A very warm welcome to you youre watching r. T. International with me the key erin its great to have you with us. Not only trumps covert advisor has suffered a wave of criticism on u. S. Mainstream media and apologized for speaking to r. T. On r. T. Is going underground program the doctor talked about how to combat the pandemic. The lockdowns has been one of the one of them will go down as an attic failure of Public Policy by people who refused to accept they were wrong were wrong words used the exact they were wrong didnt know that they didnt care and became a frenzy of stopping calling 980 says at all costs and those costs are massive and whats happened here is that the argument is undeniable the lockdowns are killing people. I think in a generalized down broadcaster now neil clung to discuss this further thank you for joining us on the Program Washington it is not unaccustomed to lecturing countries it does it doesnt like about liking press freedom so why does it appear to have a certain blacklist of who people contact say well this goes back i think it was about 2 or 3 years ago the r. T. Due to political lobbying war in that sort of particular. Anti russian frenzy at the time following the election of trump was put on the Foreign Agents list at the registrar to the Foreign Agents act. And thats where it all began really with this of course we you know seen as r. T. Started book us in america and in britain its been under attack from russia folks from people who are not happy the economy is out that it would be good for people to be able to watch in the western countries that actually puts forward a different perspective than what you normally get on a lot of the other channels so this goes back to a free is and i think its interesting isnt it nikki that the news story about this is all about oh my god dr atlas appeared on our t. V. This is terrible instead of actually focusing on what the man said about lockdowns so it really is forget about the message just just just focus on what medium he used those points across that is really is quite quite wrong actually what was happening and it was an interesting interview quite what the what i did in my opinion. In a headstone chungs and find they made a point and one is not being discussed in the Mainstream Media now do you think but its interesting isnt it that this is the age old so to mccarthyites me exactly what you do is you play the man not the ball. In other words you dont focus on what he actually said because as you say he was a very good interview he made some very good strong points against lockdowns and were all in britain were having another impose another lockdown this week supposed to be coming into force in france and germany this is the debate we should be having but rather than actually listen to what the guy had to say about that no the narrative is all about is switched to oh he appeared on a russian channel this is terrible and im afraid to talk to this hasnt. Hasnt actually done a very good thing in apologizing and seeking to say oh he didnt know russia today. Was on the Foreign Agents list etc he should have done that he did nothing wrong nothing wrong we can r. T. R t is a legitimate news channel its its there and nobody should be forced or feel they have to apologize for coming on to r. T. Because if youre doing that youre giving in to the bullies arent you the bullies who seek to determine which channels people can appear on which channels they cant now plant journalist and broadcaster thats all we have time for thank you for joining us on the Program Thanks nicky. The number of covert 1000 cases in European Countries has the past 10000000 with half the cases being confirmed in the last 5 weeks alone both stayed 3 in position of lockdown measures is bringing frustration with many taking that anger out onto the street. Well weve seen that demonstrations taking place across europe against measures that are being put in place to try and stop the spread of covert 19 europe 10 percent of the worlds population 22 percent roughly of the worlds kovac 19 infections here in germany where im speaking to you from weve just entered into whats been called lockdown light from monday call said she wants to try and get infections of covert 19 down by around 75 percent in germany and the way that theyre going about doing that is trying to keep open as many schools kindergartens and elements of business as possible at the expense of social contact so its the it is bars restaurants beauty salons james that are paying the price theyre the ones that are going to be shutting down in the attempt to do this however in bringing in these measures some politicians here in germany were caught breaking them already. The focus should now be on protecting the population and at such time when the demanding so much from people politicians need to set an example. Well the covert 19 measures that have come into place here in germany mean that bars and restaurants will have to close for normal business they will be allowed to carry out operations to take out the 3rd that came into play one bar in the ins political quarters to the popular with politicians from the bundestag said that a number of key officials would be part from the entries included angle america all of shorts the vice chancellor and the mayor of Michael Moore are saying that because they were putting in place these measures they were no longer invited there for a drink. The government has done nothing since april to prepare people for winter and the 2nd wave of the pandemic its known that many politicians come to us as guests some of those politicians decided yesterday to shut down catering business is again to ban us from doing our jobs we are adding those politicians to our black least immediately well new covert 19 measures are being put in place across europe in france we saw them enter into a really strict new lockdown where pretty much all of the same measures that were in place in the spring up back in for similar measures taking effect in belgium on saturday night the british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson announced that the u. K. Will reenter a month long lockdown from thursday number of all the country side the introducing new measures are expected to introduce new measures over the coming weeks or one country that has seen a big rise in the number of cases is russia 18th. 1665 new confirmed infections of covert 19 on sunday the number of dead in the country has now passed the 28000 mark there are no signs of a new full lockdown coming into place in russia however over 60 fives have been told to stay at home as much as possible those in the out risk category we know the virus attacks those who are older much harder than it does the young but when it comes to things like night life in cities like moscow that remains open it is so beyond the rushing of the mayor of the russian capital is said that the q. R. Code system thats being used to allow people into bars and nightclubs will continue but it may be under review should cases continue to rise. Pandemics taking on a political dimension in america with officials using the issue to score political points ahead of tuesdays vote with someone they slate on in the program. The raw between paris and the mostly in world over freedom of expression and religion is escalating in the wake of the terror attacks in france with negative sentiment intensifying on both sides the french president called the violence an acceptable on his turkish counterpart is crying xenophobia. If i spoke he said look i understand and respect that people might be shocked by the character choose but i will never accept that someone can justify physical violence because of them i will always defend my countrys freedom to speak to write think and draw. So we see the countries that teach the world about human rights and democracy take the lead on islamophobia and xenophobia a fight needs to be put up against and to move them sentiment today just as a battle was waged against and to some it is more in the wake of the holocaust. As a muslim majority countries revolt against frances treatment of muslims protests have spread across the world along with boycotts of french products the anger with heightened by aligning the clowns tough comments against islam following the beheading of a french to a paris teacher who would show his class caricature of the Prophet Muhammad it was also become the motive for a stay with of attacks on french soil. We are at war against terrorism terrorism can always strike there is no 0 risk and the state is doing its utmost to protect the french people passing the french demand justice we want these people to be deported to their country. We are in a country that has witnessed atrocities Great Teachers being beheaded priests having less throats slit people are beheaded in a church thats not france and even if we take in all possible security measures have been able to come in with a knife to do is deadly deeds 0 risk does not exist you know there are i think 40000 churches in france we could put a 1000000 and a half soldiers there but that would not change the. We counted someone who wants to kill someone else many countries especially in the middle east measures against terrorists for knife attacks. We discussed the worsening conflict with a panel of death. The president a french president was very right to confirm that we stand for a secular state and for the freedom of speech in the secular state of france religion is seen as an opinion we need to address radical islam in france and we are in a war against radical islam and i dont think mr micro is going far enough you can never justify terrorism or violence of any sort so what is the issue with the president micro on his war in islam is that is the terminology that hes adopted which is and then murder has in which he tarnishes every single muslim and holds muslims responsible for the action of a small minority of terrorists nothing i actually heard from. It is really attacking islam and moderate muslims in france what what i think hes trying to do is say look we have a country here we have laws and regulations that weve built up over centuries and this is how this country works and actually go 3 midst who have a completely different view of how they want life to be and maybe separate into their own type of society then france is probably not for them we need to deport foreigners who preach islam on our grounds we have radical in moms preaching. Against islam or telegrams what you mean by that what i mean by that is by hate speech is against the western way of living against a securely way of living and we have men not shaking womens hands we have most preaching for separate swimming 0 is we have young girls going being told to put on the veil this is not what we are listening to certainly the pen. Is a lot is there nothing to take place to start stop tonight is to be and talking about you know what are you talking about you just sound like as if youre talking from the National Fruit and here gender of the far right we as muslims recognize we have a problem there are. People want some eats i said this theres a problem with people who are involved in terrorism he want to bring people decent people who are against terrorism come together lets do that but just do away with this rhetoric that were hearing tonight mr shafiq you oughta know that many mosques in france preaching and saying that the laws of the of the quran are superior to the loss of france which means please no i have no answer for you and i dont love you oh thats your father Francis Crick what about your colleagues in the far right what about the colleagues in the far right not a single word about the far right near nazis far right extremists or which is totally out of guilt that just shows you just focused on demonology a whole community we all feel the same very strange that need to be dealt with in the police are having to deal with the rise of right wing extremism but at this moment today were talking about people being beheaded jews and basilicas and things of course because france thats the issue that france is having to deal with at this moment lets be consistent lets take on the narrative the terrorist but dont do that the expense of orderly innocent muslims around the world we are told terrorism but we also want the right you know for our boys to be heard in these countries are not faith not to be attacked in a way as to be contrite france is a country where all religions can peacefully live together and i live together with millions of muslims i have many muslim friends who are and late at muslims and whom i adore we can exist all together it fell out of that the condition that our traditions and loss of secularism are respected were back with more news after this very short break stay with us. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business im showbusiness ill see you then. Welcome back were turning to our top story now Donald Trumps covert advisor has suffered a storm of criticism and u. S. Mainstream media giving an interview to r. T. And has subsequently apologized. I recently did an interview with r. T. And was on a with their registered Foreign Agent i regret doing the interview and apologize for learn lessons to be taken advantage of i specially apologize to the National SecurityCommunity Whos working hard to defend us well for more details on this story now were joined by our Senior Correspondent my guess you have an estate here thanks for coming in march at tell us more about this interview and the reaction well this is this is a rough and tough interview this room only called cordoning about the new feels about that this is this is very serious topic this guy advises trump he has been behind many of trumps policies with regards to how to how to fight the pandemic and he has very controversial views very controversial opinions that have divided america republicans democrats nevertheless he has a lot of power and you know it would seem it would be in the in the best interest of everyone if he was questioned and as i said this this wasnt. A jolly interview these were very tough questions that. In the times you asked and scored was put on the spot the lockdown said ben one of the one of them will go down as an attic saley or a Public Policy people who refused to accept they were wrong were wrong words used to exact they were wrong didnt know that they didnt care and became a frenzy of stopping calling 980 says at all costs and those costs are massive and whats happened here is that the argument is undeniable the lockdowns are killing people. What followed this interview was i would say reaction in the media they went nuts they went absolutely crazy how could this guy you know he has security access top restricted security access in the United States and he is appearing on our team and many pundits rushed over themselves c. N. N. M s n b c n. B. C. So good of the liberal clique and they were rushing over themselves to say oh how is this possible to apologize why you appearing on an enemy channel on r. T. And eventually it just reached a crescendo which you know buckled everything in its part senior white house official tells me dr scott atlas did not have approved from the white house before going to see adlers did it on his own without seeking approval from white house senior aides have raised concerns that that was would it be on the russian outlet the scots atlas is having an interesting week here he is on the Russian Propaganda Network r. T. Which casually opens the segment with some facts about us imperialism on the heels of an interview with russian propagandists talk to scott supporters and radiologist who has the president s ear spitefully sub tweets Dr Anthony Fauci an actual expert on infectious diseases. You know this is to be expected that we were right before the election and people people are trying to squeeze every last bit of advantage out of anything that they possibly can and this was obviously one of those things that they thought they could rest an advantage out of especially interesting is that there was never this sort of reaction when a democrat functionary you official appeared a nazi and even adam ship. They you know this is this is this is an opportunity for them to spread their message but when someone else does it for example a republican they suddenly remember that. A registered Foreign Agent in in the United States they said we remember russian propaganda they they suddenly remember that no no no you cant do this but there was. As much anger directed at him appearing to not see as adam the democrats dont like him dont like him at all hes been by many of the policies that they disagree with with regards to fighting this pandemic with regards to fights in this. Virus what to do about the in the United States but some of the things theyve been saying about you know National Security being jeopardized because scott the atlas appeared a nazi to discuss his controversial policies well then their objective lee speaking in the name nevertheless i recently put together a package about how coover it has affected the United States the election in the United States both from the democrats from the republicans and it has been from the get go one big disaster. 2020 was going to be trumps year stock markets breaking records the highest employment rates in a decade and hed finally absolve themselves of any ties to russia it was going so well nobody you know except one country can be held accountable for what happened it was ease in americas achilles heel the Health Care System paid health care where people can be billed hundreds of thousands of dollars for hospitalization and were talking here about a pandemic this was a system wide collapse they couldnt even agree on how to count the dead and he says. The world is and we need to act it was failure from the
