Live coverage from our studios in moscow this is our 2 international and im sean thomas certainly glad to have you with. Teachers in france are speaking out in the wake of a colleagues murder last week many say that they are facing unacceptable daily risks while at work we heard from english teacher gabrielle 0 tragedy that happened last week that. Mine is many many things its a tale of terror teachers and strong are expected to do a lot and it sounds like we will be expected to even more treatments many ills in society and i know my colleagues and i are ready to take on many challenges but it sure is our really under the threats of islamic terrorism. Then we should not ask ourselves heres how you will teach kids should ask ourselves serious how we will protect the school itself and the surroundings of the School History teacher samuel perry wasnt beheaded by a terrorist on october the 16th outside his school in a suburb of paris he had received online Death Threats after showing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad to his class the suspected killer an 18 year old that refugee of tretton origin was later shot and killed by police many french people see it as an attack on the entire nation as goodness knows i told myself that it could have been me and beyond that he was just going to work doing his job and he was killed for an acceptable reasons for me to vote on that if you beat the values of the republican on the and its also a tribute not only to this person who died today but to all the teachers who taught us those values given it is sometimes haunt but it was important for us to be here when that up on the french Teachers Union has stressed that staff should be able to organize their work as they see fit free from fear in the aftermath of the killing president micron valgerd to crackdown on islamist extremism tuns e. O. Again says that his profession needs better protection tests of sentiment but also tells the story of how associates each you teachers we are i believe my profession needs to be respected my profession needs to be protected if the question is how do we protect a professional not just a profession well then lets start by policing shuras when they say that something is wrong im not sure thats still im just stunned how important this is im not sure that the french state will put enough money and people into said she huge challenge after the death of samuel paddy the french government shut down a mosque accused of inciting the killing its also proposed changes to the law. The Defense Council has already decided to add 2 new provisions to the draft law against extremism firstly to reinforce protection for Public Servants by penalizing those who exert pressure on them or those who put pressure on Public Institutions their words or actions as happened in the case of samuel petty and the School Principal secondly the possibility of sanctioning those who post personal Information Online that endangers someones life as they did in the teachers case. Where from the issue of integration firmly in the spotlight the interior minister weighed in on ethnic foods in french shops and his comments didnt go down very well he has more. Radicalization and how it happens is now once again Headline News in front now while most questions are focusing on the impact of social media poverty and foreign influence the countrys interior minister has come up with this suggestion as one root of the problem i was about to go to has always shocked me to go into a supermarket and see that there would be one type of ethnic food selection here and another one next to it domino went on to say this is how Community Terrorism begins its a term that loosely translates as identity and its also used to describe those who dont comply or suspect the idea of secularism here in france thats a separation of religion and state and even though the interior minister says he doesnt want to put ethnic food dollars in supermarkets its comments have caused a stir with many mocking him. Down on also thinks is to big Business Owners to do their bit in fighting separatism so what 5 restaurants streets like this one here in paris offer a plethora of selection from turkish to chinese italian to see all the way to along with supermarket aisles setting people on the poles to become bad french citizens. I think its important to respect their very city and that should be reflected in supermarkets this should be everything for everyone including. There is a demand for something you should be then. Thats one of the things are so great about france is that we do have people from lots of Different Countries i mean im. American and i live in france for about 5 years and i dont really think. Normal if i go in the supermarket i dont really think about that so i dont really see the harm behind this despite the pushback the interior minister says he doesnt want ethnic food or supermarkets but who does think its up to big Business Owners to do it in fighting separatism so move though do you think comments have merit should be treated. The minister is right. Is the beginning of communitarianism. Should be available in the general aisles along with others having a dedicated all is the beginning of communitarianism because we know that everyone who goes there is muslim. Being 2 ministers says he doesnt have one word to take back but given that perhaps his badly phrased thoughts have been made in the often brutal terror attack. And while a terror trial is underway over the 2015 attack on a supermarket many. Scenes its not so much cooking up a storm with his words but wading into some very hot water. Paris. There is no let up to the fighting between armenia and azerbaijan despite International Peace efforts on saturday authorities in the disputed region reported an aerial bombardment by azerbaijani warplanes earlier this week women and children were evacuated from the city of marjah character after the shelling of surrounding villages many civilians have been caught in the crossfire and as this next story shows even the youngest have found courage.

My parents are in hospital now they were injured because of the artillery strike everything they gained throughout the years everything was destroyed in a few minutes their houses are nothing but dust now and the key thing is that civilians were injured we dont want to live like this we want to live peacefully. Which has a majority armenian population has been pushing for independence since the early 1990 s. And now a french lawmaker has called on her country to support that campaign we spoke with Valerie Valerie boyer and also asked Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesperson. To comment. Its also a schoolboy in france and the rest of europe put up with what is going on in the guernica about the situation where any means to leave there could again suffer genocide i remind you that as a by john attack nagornokarabakh and amenia a sovereign state so there was a unilateral declaration of rule the only aim of which was to exterminate the armenian population to remain neutral is irresponsible undignified and most importantly in affective this is not a situation where we can remain neutral we are seen the mass murder of civilians the military intentions of cherokee and as a bridge on a clear one country x. On behalf of other one in relation to meaning and again and they leave well to take nagornokarabakh is a trophy and then taken meaning there are several ways to solve this conflict the 1st is diplomatic a good look at about should urgently be recognized as an independent state the 2nd is to send International Troops on the e. U. And men date here was speaker bought a strong advocate for media impression national as of late and the person who is afraid of us or her strong ties with her mean a lot of the problems so obviously the lawmaker matter about everybody he continues to turn a blind eye to that aggressive policy against azerbaijan im curious whether she is there well or poorly bought the deliberate shouting group as it were just a severely us in that tolerance if you i get far away from the call. Getting more than 20 syrians in a one lot and im curious whether she is whether. Civilian death toll in azerbaijan which is rose to the 65. 00 so human its teenager of 16 years old was killed by smart we saw the attack in his garden while correct in person or in packer region so im curious how she would respond to these attacks player mia obviously as a. Madam boundary where you should be where. Principles of International Law which is involved respecting your intent to states and get this youre going to the National Borders of states. Still to come this hour u. S. Democrats are asking the f. B. I. Not to probe for the business dealings of joe biden and his son that story and much more when we come back this is our chief international. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Welcome back this is our t. International now drastic measures in the italian city of naples have infuriated locals the regional authorities announced the new lockdown on friday. Oh. Hundreds of protesters marched through the city and there were some tense encounters with police the rules were tightened after the number of daily infections doubled in maples and the surrounding region the similar picture is playing out across europe as artist peter all of a report. While the european continent creaks under increasing cases of covert 19th germany has comparatively well however as cases here past 10 fouls and today for the 1st time those in charge of Public Health in germany are preparing for the worst. If the situation has become very serious but we can slow down the spread of the virus if we take precautions in a systematic way although we have to expect that the virus will continue to be transmitted in some regions of germany and the spread may be uncontrolled from saturday musks will have to be warned outside in any way you can to maintain a 1. 5 mi to distance from another person and that includes some of the german capitals most famous shopping districts while infection rates of going to have the number of germans willing to go to parties back in the spring 90 percent of people said this would have peanuts had highest order now thats dropped to 60 percent with almost half saying they had been to a gathering with more than 10 people in the last 4 weeks its a much different picture in france where infections cross the 1000000 mark this week making them the 2nd nation after spaying to cross the mouth threshold. Seeing a curfew said to be extended. Over the last few days the whole situation in our country has continued to deteriorate collation level of ours is extremely high. The coming weeks will be tough the number of deaths will continue to roads and the Hospital Services will be put to the test so if we do not succeed collectively in whole thing the epidemic will be faced with a dramatic situation i will have to impose more severe measures. The new has promised extra phones and testing capabilities to be rolled out across the globe to slow down the virus we need to test as much as possible and therefore the European Commission is making available 100000000 euros from our Emergency Support instrument with this money we can buy between 15 and 22000000 rapid antigen tests for the European Union to spying for those charged with tracking the pandemic for brussels a far from confident about the situation. We are clearly into a 2nd wave we are waiting and we are expecting to see the cases rise even more with over a 1000000 cases in france and spain things seem relatively controlled here in germany however the fear is that this is akin to being in the attic of building we can feel the flames yes we can smell the smoke of peter all over r. T. I know thats the outlook in europe for the moment but in china infection rates have remained low since the peak of the pandemic early in the year dr she lou from Imperial College london gave us his views on the different approaches to the health crisis. What was in 100. 00 or lockdown over there was completely different and believe me is still very different and i would say that at all im going to do so very strictly not just to the us but also to the people back to the u. K. About 4 months ago when i just lending being a request d to the South Koreans in for 14 days and i want to say does the decent of koreans in has to be used to the entirely. Most of the Chinese People who already realize that they follow the rules and then dave follow the learner street measures and then they get everything back in london for example when they say people dont read a master degree and they dont receive fines on the tube right and then they do you can please. Find those people one by one. These clearly countries very different europe whose people dig themselves not like in china its more like youre in a Community Society people take out. To the u. S. Now were Democratic Senators are calling on the f. B. I. Not to investigate joe biden and his son right before the election they claim that the ongoing allegations of the familys business dealings are just a Smear Campaign by donald trump a team with more heres arties came up and forget the russia gate hysterics and the demand from the Us Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer that the f. B. I. Investigate allegations against trump regarding collusion thats a serious issue and needs a thorough thorough investigation we know director call me was leading an investigation and whether the Trump Campaign colluded with the russians a serious offense or those investigations getting too close to home for the president. The dismissal of director komi establishes a very troubling pattern well it turns out that senator Chuck Schumer is far less interested in looking into the shady dealings of the biden family in ukraine surprise surprise. We therefore urge you to resist pressure from President Trump in other posts as an ox is to take any actions intended to benefit President Trump politically when the election succumbing to such pressure would deeply undermine our National Security interests and could have devastating consequences for the resiliency of our democracy the democrats seem quite nervous about opening this can of worms remember Hillary Clinton using a private server for her emails similar story whats interesting this time however is that the democrats message of nothing to see here folks just move on that message is being echoed by Media Outlets we dont want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories and we dont want to waste the listeners and readers time on stories that are just pure distractions and quite frankly thats where we ended up this was a politically driven event and we decided to treated that way now that was National Public radio the Media Research center a media watchdog that leans conservative said the biden family scandal has gotten a little almost no coverage in the aftermath of the recent trump and biden town hall event a. B. C. Spend 0 seconds on hunts a budget and and d. C. Spend just 6 minutes 9 seconds on hundreds of scandals c. B. S. Led the brule Coast Networks with a still measly 10 minutes and 33 seconds print media as well usa today has dropped op ads on the subject usa today didnt want to run my hunter biden column this week my regular editor is in vacation and i guess everyone else was afraid to touch it it seems like the party line of the american elite is do not discuss the biden family emails and the socalled free press is in full compliance once again american Mainstream Media shows us what its all about and artsy new york. Veggie burgers and a vegan sausages have lived to see another day after an attempt by the Meat Industry to ban those terms. Was rejected by the European Parliament a group of farmers and lobbyists argued that words like sausage and should only be used to label items that contain meat and about applying them to plant based versions as a form of cultural hijacking they also claimed its confusing for consumers but the European Consumer Organisation took a different view consumers are in no way confused by a source steak or cheek be based sausage so long as it is clearly labeled as vegetarian overeager terms such as burger or steak on plant based items simply make it much easier for consumers to know how to integrate these products within the meal of all the things to debate we are asked to weigh in. Its very important focus he and his chief be able to hes the times better as a stage because they have to explain the texture the style and how to use things that he needs and you know their common language maybe said theres no reason that the meat and kissed me to be should own those things terms sustainably produced livestock absolutely have a Central Place in puget diets but those people who dont have ethical objections to easy Livestock Products we have to accept that those who do care have the absolute right to eat cloud based products but i think that using the terms that Livestock Products who coined it is really i think that confusion has been no evidence of any competing for people buying vegetarian vegan burgers and suggest. You know i think you know they were Something Else you know it is have they ever been to a shop and thought they were buying pokes and just come home and found they were vague and it is a problem that just doesnt exist although i accept that plants are an important part of our thoughts and i think that if we can to support a promise who want to become more d regenerative and sustainable we need to eat what those who produce using those kind of practices and that will include the rights cloyd or Livestock Products so if we dont want him to trick him we dont want him to cold we dont want milk and Dairy Products will make it garys we need to know the difference we need to exercise old boy power in the right way to achieve we asked if he would like to see more people its up to healthy healthy palate they speak in diets and eat in the process phase it in in a moderation in the same as way as people cheese and ill never rest i probably should be eating processed cheese every day and so its an issue thats not mean just as its for everybody we need to know the difference between sustainably and plans who stand to be produce livestock for us but equally we need to do the same for print based products and in my view many of the clones. Or produced in highly unsustainable ways and we need to be the experts we need to educate all so about making sure that we know the difference if we shift to plant based as we can. Also save on environmental problems as well as it can support Public Health that you have to keep your consuming healthy diets and of course as a compassionate and recent as well.
