For to be among them. The daughter of a man behind an Online Campaign against samuel passing. He was killed after showing his students controversial cartoons of the prophet mohammed in a lesson on free speech. Lets get more details now. And go to paris is speaking, covering this story for a shot at what details do we have regarding the investigation . Well, 3 of the individuals are said to be 13 and 14 years old, and they have been indicted for complicity in a terrorist assassination. And thats because theyre said to have been the teenagers who pointed out to samuel pattis murderer, who he was there for allowing that beheading to take place. The 4th teenager who has also been indicted is said to have been the daughter of a bright. This is the man who is widely regarded as being behind the media frenzy surrounding that lesson. When samuel patty showed controversial cartoons of the muslim prophet that sparked anger in the local community, she has been indicted for slander. Now all 4 individuals have since been released, but they are being monitored by judicial controls. Here in france, lets take a reminder of whats happened. Leading up to the murder of samuel patty. One of our competitors was murdered because he charged our competitor. It was the victim of an islamist terror attack. Well its been a bit of a tangled web since that beheading of samir patty. A number of individuals have been hauled in front of the police. Some have been charged, some have been let free others have in fact receive sentences and condemned for their part in the surrounding storm regarding that, including one mother who was sentenced for apparently celebrating his death in a facebook post. And a man from algeria who is condemned for firing terrorism again by referring to samuel pattis death. Theres also been this huge fallout, president was clear following the death of some a party that france wouldnt roll back from showing controversial images when it comes to talking about freedom of speech that sparked huge protests in some muslim majority countries. People calling for a boycott of french goods and theres been anger in many muslim nations as well at the crackdown that weve seen here in france. Since these murders, such as muslim associations being banned, disbanded, and also a mosque being closed. Lets have a look at that reaction of you need to Mental Health treatment was good because he is a case and therefore he really needs to have mental checks that have never heard the president back on his being inferior ated by some english language media saying that they have twisted his words over the last 2 months or so suggesting that he was attacking islam in some way rather than islam. Islam. And theres been a huge amount of fake news, too surrounding the new which is to crackdown on separatism here in france, including some journalists from highbrow publications or who have said that, you know, this new law will see Muslim Children being given id numbers like jewis were during the 2nd world war thats not true or tour, and this new law to prevent children from missing out on the education, all children in france will be given this id. But the reality is that many muslims here in france feel that they are being singled out, they are being targeted, not just by this law, but by the fallout for its happened since summit, pattis murder, and its likely that this is an issue that is going to rumble on for some time. Q. Ok. Thanks, charlotte. The charlotte been reporting for us that in paris. The pandemic is casting a grim shadow over the festive season, including in the United States, where the daily death rate is now higher than back in may. Experts do say to that hospitals to be overwhelmed by christmas. And with american celebrating thanksgiving on thursday, president elect joe biden is asking people to limit their celebrations for our families, for 40 such is 40 some really tradition traveling over thanksgiving. But this year will be on the whole used for growth family traditions, which is so very important. Or countries in the middle of a dramatic spike in cases where the latest posting show that most people still intend to gather with their loved ones. Although the figure has declined since September States across the us, the reading acknowledges that will celebration plans is dont call to explain. Thanksgiving is coming up in the u. S. And that means its turkey time, although maybe not because 2020 is trying to find yet another way to ruin everybodys lives. Theres a run on small turkeys, turkeys that are 10 to 14 pounds are in high demand right now. Even if youre one of the few privileged enough to have a smaller turkey on your table this year, dont get too excited. This thanksgiving is supposed to be especially dangerous. With more people staying home for thanksgiving, more americans will be cooking at home for the 1st time. And some of them are stressed and with more amateur cooks hitting the kitchen this year. One firefighters says it could be a recipe for disaster and case. Thats not enough for you to stress about new yorks governor. Andrew cuomo capped the amount of people you can have to dinner at 10. I dont think you can get away with an extra straggler too. Big brother cuomo was watching while cuomo didnt seem to have any problem sacrificing other peoples thanksgiving day when he urged families not to gather for the celebration. He himself invited his mother and 2 daughters home for the holiday. It wasnt long before he withdrew the invitation, but many people still arent happy about that. Cuomo is the wood governor in america. Hes arrogance and he pull chrissy knows no bounds. Do as i say, not as i do. Pennsylvanias gathering limit isnt as draco nian as new yorks but the states alcohol ban is a trip in itself. Bars and restaurants have already been ordered to halt all. d booze sales and some people just dont understand the relation. Pennsylvania bans, alcohol, oregon legalizes, hot drugs, 2020 is wild pennsylvania and just banned alcohol for one night. Only before thanksgiving. What exactly are we come back to again and fire us alcoholism, freedom nights before thanksgiving. His historically being the biggest algal consuming night of the year, probably in preparation for the relatives. Since you can have them over this year, you would be getting drunk just for fun. Oh, and it probably goes without saying political discussions at the dinner table this year might not be the best idea that a gatepost election conversations, the stress of a hectic year and contentious president ial election, could still cause dinas to to intense with all these new rules and restrictions, its likely americans will have little more than their safety to be thankful for this year. One quarter that will professor of psychology and media specialist Cameron Thomas to discuss whether people should be free to celebrate the holiday as they place. It comes to, you know, personal responsibility and, you know, individuals who want to protect their families. I think its a sign that people should step aside for thanksgiving this year and stay safe. I think bret realize asian is very important. I think freedom is very important. And i thank our culture, you know, cultures very on a lot of dimensions. The United States is known as whats a very loose culture. And some americans feel that their own referendum is being taken away by, by these measures. But you know, your life is a fair, fair price to pay thanksgiving in your life. I dont know what i choose from what i choose. I think i choose life what were seeing now as so many americans, not following the guidelines and not following the rules is partly the fact that we do live in a loose culture where people are from a very small age, very young age sort of this and courage to sort of make their own rules and force their own paths and life. Hey, im very tired of it. Ive been isolated. You know, i havent seen my mom since april. Yeah, im getting tired of that. But, you know, the bottom line is that there is this ranging pandemic out there. Its sad me actually i have tears in my eyes, seeing so many people being so irresponsible. You know, human beings will follow their emotions. And theres a lot of people who are like, i know this isnt the right thing to do and you know and nonsense, but darn it, im doing it because i feel like i have to, lot of people are doing compromise. Were supposed to sit next to each other, you know, arm next on shoulder next to shoulder, cutting food, stock and warrants in kinds of conditions and is in a lot of ways, very unnatural. And i would argue, in a long term sense is very unhealthy. Its going to be the same next year. Traditions are disappearing. They, you know, because traditions have grain in the, in the american psyche been going on for, you know, hundreds of years. Sacrificing one year is not going to make a difference. Theres so many ways that these, you know, these current guidelines and conditions might be good from a Public Health standpoint and they are. But i do think that theyre cutting into our emotional and social action merely ill health. And i feel like thanksgiving is really just, just like a really strict us example. Football fans around the world are mourning the death of the legendary game marathoner. The argentinian died of a heart attack at the age of 60, famous for his outstanding ability on the field. He was also infamous for his antics and troubles off it, although he will be remembered as one of the all time greats and will be missed by fans all over the world, including here in moscow that hawkins has more the story of their good morrow dawn is more than one of just a footballer, its the story of a true global legend. A footballing superstar tributes have been coming in from key figures in the football world, from pele to messi and back home. But more importantly from fans, of course, have been united across the world in a paying tribute to their idol, turning out to numbers in stadiums and embassies. And here in moscow, weve seen that happening as well. People turning out at the Argentinean Embassy to lay flowers, wreaths, and flags, and really say thank you to the model for be giving them so many emotions over the years. In fact, the flag here at the Argentine Embassy has been lowered to half mast as 3 days of mourning on out in argentina to pay tribute to the countrys best ever football player. Now, maradonas career really capsulated everything from the sublime on the astonishing to the crazy and the absurd off the pitch. He scored over 300 goals in his career, but really his personality, his character was in capsulated in that famous quarter final of 96. When he scored that hand goal, the gates thing learned a double 8 of the hand of god. And minutes later scored a fantastic individual effort. Dubbed the goal voted the best goal of the century. He really made that number 10 position whose only combined everything acceleration, speedball controlled creativity. And he took that beautiful style of play across borders, travelling from argentina, playing in europe for a club such as possible in a seville and not pulling in particular where he won the adoration of fans as well as many trophies. He was though, also im not sure of controversy, well documented issues with drug abuse and alcohol abuse, allegations of links to the mafia, extramarital affairs, even a suspended prison sentence. You really could not write a script that would have kept so to all the drama of Diego Maradonas life, all on off the pitch. And it was that personality that charisma which won him so many funds across the world over the years. I never thought this day would come. My 1st title is gone. My only idol. Hes the greatest of all the most football. The one who gave me say everything. One moment when i heard about it, i died with him. Thats what happened to me. Im on the behavior, amanda maraton, a means everything the whole world has to be married. Do not today the whole world crisis for diego or monda maradona. After retiring full football, he went into madness. But where he had, fortunately enjoyed the slightly less success, most notably that culminated in his Argentina Team being knocked out of the world cup for mail in germany. Germany in 2010, speaking of world cup, but they got it all. It was one of the most colorful and charismatic visitors here to russia, back in 2018 for the world cup, where he really captured the hearts and minds of files all over russia, with his charisma and personality that the architect behind the freedom of information act is calling for a prying into what a new report has described as an orwellian unit within the government. This is accused of deliberately obstructing the release of potentially Sensitive Data with more haste, kate partridge. A storm is brewing in the u. K. About freedom of information with a new government, a new report by open democracy describes a socalled all well you. Its called the clearinghouse that obstructs media requests, and even blacklist journalists Clearing House shares with a range of whitehall departments. A daily update containing the names of journalists and complain as the requests they have submitted and advice on how referring departments should respond past in the year 2000. And the freedom of information act was meant to open up the workings of government requests for information were supposed to remain anonymous or applicant blind. And in theory could help keep the offshore. It is a check. But according to this report, the cabinet now rejects more requests than ever. Number 10 says the consideration of foia requests remains applicant and motive behind. And the Clearing House unit remains fully compliant. But there is growing criticism within westminster labor peer lord clarke of when dimia was instrumental in the act becoming law and is now calling for a government investigation into the controversial unit. Along with politicians across the spectrum. This Clearing House is certainly against the spirit of that act, and probably the letter to ministers should explain to the house of commons precisely why they continue with this set up in view of the fact that it is contradictory to the whole purpose of freedom of information this is extremely troubling if the Cabinet Office is interfering in requests and seeking to work around their requirements of the act by a blacklist enjoying this, it is a grave threat to our values and transparency in our democracy. Yet this storm over the law has been brewing since it was past 20 years ago under tony blairs government. After the then Prime Minister discovered that governments couldnt discuss any issues with a reasonable level of confidentiality. And freedom of information was mainly used by journalists. He coast himself. You idiot, you know eve, foolish, irresponsible nincompoop. There is really no description of stupidity no matter how vivid it is adequate. I quake in the imbecility of it. For political leaders, its like saying to someone whos hitting you over the head with a stick. He tried this in, stayed in handing him a magnet. Now it seems, Boris Johnsons government is also trying to put the lid back on the pandoras box. That the British Public are legally entitled to open a partridge party, loved it. Ok, what we cannot talk now with mark watts, hes a journalist and coordinator of the creating of information act center. That is a Specialist Research company that helps a client. Hes the x. Thanks for coming on. We appreciate your time this afternoon. What do you make of these claims then that the government is obstructing the release of Sensitive Information requested under the act where theres a long history to this . As you heard in your report, just that the freedom of information act was passed in this country back in 2000, but it took 5 years, 3 even to be effective when it became obvious, but they almost immediately regretted it. Tony blair famously said that the biggest mistake he made while he was in government was to pass the act not be iraq war, but surpass the freedom of information act. And every single government right up until the current one was on the boris johnson, hates the freedom of information act. Because it is a way that people can try to hold the government to account and guess what . They dont like it. And so one of the measures they take and it happens right here at the Cabinet Office, is they have this thing called the Clearing House, and we have a 4 center. We help people do for ever quest reducing the never have. We known about this for some while, but what it does is it gets other Government Departments to coordinate with the Cabinet Office here, the Clearing House, in order to help guide them on their response. Its generally they like to say no more often than not. And they like to call and also keep an eye out for what they regard as sensitive requests and particularly sensitive requests that so particular journalists who might cause trouble. Theyd like to know about when theyre making requests. So they can be perhaps be a little bit more destructive when those coming. So whos in the wrong here . Because the government is that its not doing anything wrong and it says its working within the lorgnette. Its facing this challenge. What it is, i mean its the law is in a sense being abused by the government. Youve heard those comments that some people say anything against the spirit of the law would have to see whether its technically against the lesser of the kit. One of the key points is that for your requests are supposed to be request of blind doesnt matter who makes them anyone in the world can make a freedom of nation act request of the government government in britain as they can in america and many other countries it doesnt matter who the request to raise the issue is if something should be in the public domain, it should be in the public to main interest story, regardless of whos actually making the request and the government. None the less, don
