Imposed across europe as a surge in the coronavirus impacts life on the continent. While we begin with our breaking news out of france 3 people have been killed in a knife attack at a church in the Southern City of nice several others have been injured its acar was wounded by police and is in custody in hospital frances antiterrorism prosecutors have taken over the investigation the mayor of nice says it will say a terrorist attack and called for a crackdown on what he describes as islam will fascism. What are the risks we are hurt to once again see that our city is taken like this i want to tell the families of the victims of this barbaric attack that everyone in the community is by your side i want to say that we can no longer with the laws of peace in our country wipe out islamofascism while david chase is joins us now on the line from nice david we understand it the french president is on the scene but just start us off with the attack is there any more that you can tell us of any more details about this attack in released. Well so far very little is coming out from the police or form intelligence sources or d. From the elise a. Prison term i know my call was at the scene. The basilica of not saddam is in the very center of nieces the Largest Catholic Church here in the city thats on one of the main thoroughfares an easy place for attack obvious target but impossible for the police to have any clear warning the such an attack might be coming so that is the area of security concern for president mark wrong but also of course hes here 1st and foremost to show that he cares for the victims of these attacks hes. Going to be talking to the loved ones of the victims this was the most extraordinary scene to nice man bursting into a congregation in this Catholic Church just before all saints day and halloween so this was a particular moment when people were at prayer and a scene of carnage resulted now he. Managed to get away 12 minutes later was captured by the police shot by the police joining his arrest and is now in hospital with the police by his bed trying to gain more information about why he attacked a way he came from but this is going to take a long time so the most important thing the president macron can do is to is to show that he cares to show that he has been tending to have a strategy forward from this or whole tragedy and to show 6. France is determined to resist the sort of attacks that im sure he doesnt join in the language of the marigny scorning it islamofascism but he is determined and has shown already that he wants the extreme elements who are challenging the sec. To the nature of the republic there lived in 5000000 Muslim Community here the strongest in europe the biggest in europe he wants the values of the republic to be defended and defended with all the strength of the states now this is a worrying time for the most impudent see because they failed on the pressure and under attack themselves so very delicate for the president to walk here especially as a myth in the midst of another crisis which is of course the beginning of another month of lockdown a severe lockdown a total lockdown here in france for another month until december the 1st some act if you stop tonight at 9 oclock so real pressure on everybody in this city they had all the Police Sirens going once again and they remember said clearly and there if it created the attacks. 4 years ago on the night of the steel day when a lorry right into all the people watching the fireworks. On the beach front and i was here for that i remember the shock and fear that electrified the city after that happened and a taste of that again once again today people in shock and dismay because theyre out on the streets with children and their families getting the last provisions necessary before the lockdown making sure that families and their children had a bit of fresh air as well and so 2 they were particularly alarmed to hear these Police Sirens going off and then they heard about the instant and its being truly shocking to most of the people here how many people are just passing by staring at the scene of the attack guarded by on police the whole area has been cordoned off by police carrying assault rifles and police tapes barring entry to anybody a lot of the shops in this area have now closed so a sense of. The city almost holding its grass wondering what is next how much more pressure it may take years with coded what theyre called islamize fascism ok david chase said theyre bringing us the latest live from the scene David Chaytor in these thank you. Francis Prime Minister address the National Assembly in paris where he said the alerts level has been raised a lot i pause the response of the government will be firm and immediate i have already decided to raise the attack level to urgent in the entire national territory. Where World Leaders have been quick to comment on the attacks in nice turkeys foreign minister strongly condemned offering solidarity despite some chris diplomatic spat with paris to sing in french and then in english u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson said he was shocked to hear the news as saying that the u. K. Stands steadfastly with france and against terror and intolerance and the vatican said it is a moment of pain in a time of confusion terrorism and violence can never be accepted its well al jazeera is Bernard Smith is live for is in paris bernard lots of International Reaction coming soon but perhaps whats most interesting are these comments from Turkeys Foreign Ministry given the diplomatic spat thats currently underway between france and turkey. Yes relations strained particularly between president macron and turkeys president regine tire on president earlier before the attacks in nice criticized president mccrone for his crackdown on what he saw as a crackdown on the muslim groups following the murder of samuel petit samuel patsy was a teacher who was murdered beheaded on his way home from school just now almost 2 weeks ago on his way home from a school in a suburb in northern paris and hed given a class on secularism and French Republican values of secularism and to illustrate this class on free speech hed shown the students the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad caricature was a Prophet Muhammad this upset some of the children and their parents particularly who launched a social Media Campaign of criticism of the teacher and it seems that an 18 year old man took it upon himself to travel some 50 kilometers from his own home to the suburb where some of the petty lived and to murder him for showing these kids these cartoons and the weeks since in the form of spontaneous protests that theyve been in support of some your party people have again shown in these cartoons erdogan has been critical of this the 2 have not caught on and turkey was criticized initially for being slowed to condemn the murder of some your party although it did do that its been very quick as quick as or everybody else in europe and the rest of the world d today to contend these murders and say there is no room for them. And in terms of what we understand the security alerts has been raised in france this all comes after that attack on the schools he just also understand there was another attempted attack in avignon where the perpetrator of that attack was shot by police the security alerts level has been raised in france. How are the Security Services dealing with this a comedians with that there are more attacks perhaps expects is this something that the Security Services are prepared for. Or raising the alert level to the highest level possible means the Prime Minister and the Security Services suspect that there is a significant risk of attacks france is about to go into lockdown again but join is locked down schools will be open this time around as a contrast to what happened in the spring time but most places will be closed so it will be much quieter generally on the streets of fronts anyway because people are confined to their homes can only leave if they have to go to work or for shopping or for exercise bots the Security Services have been also alerted d to make sure that places of worship are monitored and protected by places of worship we mean churches synagogues and mosques so there has been alert to go out for those as well but. Obviously the government fears that there are risks of more attacks and we often hear them tell us that they stop many more than those we hear about but is extremely difficult for them they say to keep an eye on every Single Person 24 hours a day who comes up on a watch list and might be a threat ok Bernard Smyth areas are the very latest from paris thank you very much indeed. Check how long was a Senior Research fellow at the Global Policy institute see says would be attackers no longer follow traditional patterns which makes them harder to identify and catch. It is a fact that its now are very very difficult to spot these terrorists committing terrible acts because they are no longer part of Networks Like shouty it do attack in 2050 and yet tacks on the better clue know where all of the resort they were ordered in away by away from syria we know who were going as a big people but now the latest murders very difficult to predict they lost the. Teacher was committed by a young chitchat less not even listed as are and he called us his state as of yet a few problems with their own but it was not sporting the problem now is that you have what shes known as low cost terrorism by people or before we used to describe us alone who but theyre not quite known was because these people are very often involved in some kind of group very often on the internet through social networks and thats why for example the government decided especially in a way to crack down on you sometimes to increase surveillance of social networks and try to spot these people before the committee if they commit acts they are not very busy boat. As small and they get very often these people are mentally unbalanced and theyre here and of course even that has said that now people who feel offended. The people who they considered as anti established should use any means at their disposal or in order to attack d. And free food. Still to come on aljazeera the former leader of britains Opposition Labor Party is suspended in scandal over anti semitism plus. Voted early so that we can show how important it is to fighting for the right to vote as well hear from some americans he say theyre being neglected.

But. Building a wall was the promise made in the bid for the white house 0 tolerance approach the southern border became government policy detaining children and separating families the stark reality a picture too much to bear for Many Americans in a country that was built on immigration. Follow the key issues of the u. S. Elections on aljazeera. To. This is aljazeera a quick reminder of our top stories this hour 3 people have been killed in a knife attack at a church in the southern french city of nice several others have been injured the attacker was wounded by police and is in custody in hospital frances antiterrorism prosecutors have taken over the investigation the mayor of nice says it was a terror attack and called for a cracked and what he describes as islamofascism. The lower house of parliament suspended a debate so new coronavirus restrictions and held a moment of silence for the victims. Now an alarming surge in coronavirus cases across europe is forcing governments to take drastic action the spanish region of catalonia is closing its borders for 15 days the main city of barcelona is one of spains hot spots and will extend the shutdown of bars and restaurants france is imposing a month Long National laaksonen from friday with no one allowed to leave their homes except for essential reasons germany is also heading towards a national locked and lasting all of november chancellor Angela Merkel has warned that intensive care units are risk of being over whelmed. Has more now on the measures being imposed in france. People in france facing another month of lockdown at least because what we understand from the head of frances Scientific Council is that that lockdown could well be extended the french president says that he hopes that people will at least be out of their homes by the end of Year Holidays but whether that happens no one really knows because everyone has been watching over the past few weeks the cases the new cases of Current Affairs infractions rise exponentially weve seen on some days more than 50000 cases a day some experts say that could actually be around a 100000 cases a day if you count people who are asymptomatic so the french president says this no doubt is necessary to try and stem the further spread of the coronavirus he says though that the slope there will be a little bit different than the one at the beginning of the year in march and april in the schools will remain open have the children from the age of 6 will now have to wear masks and school at the moment its only from the age of 11 and some industries can stay open say factories and building and Construction Industries like bassem Public Services will be able to remain open nevertheless it will still be very strict for most people they must work from home as much as possible and in terms of whether they can leave the house or not only one hour a day probably within a want to a perimeter so very tough times ahead for many people here in france. Prisons Opposition Labor Party has suspended former leader Jeremy Corben after he done played a reports that found evidence of anti semitism in the party during his leadership. Was not sports of the problem. Had been overstated well the investigation by persons because you watched jewish Party Members suffered harassments and such complaints were ignored currently starman says the reports is a day of shame for labor. All the grief and all the evidence in this report there are still those who think theres no problem with antisemitism in the labor party that its all exaggerated or a factual attack that frankly you are part of the problem to a jew should be no where near the labor party either lets get more now from neve barker he joins us from london uneven suspending the former leader of the labor party is an extreme step is it not. Or yeah its a huge blow for people who supported Jeremy Corbyn for all of this the big blow for the man himself whos led the labor party for 4 and a half years against 3 successive conservative governments of David Cameron to reset may and Boris Johnson until dramatically losing the election in december against Boris Johnson partly as a result of of course its handling of breaks and partly too because of the scandal surrounding allegations of anti semitism within his party that prompted this investigation by the equality and Human Rights Council and has reported back that the labor party was responsible for unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination against jewish members of the party and politically interfered in the complaints process know at the time all of this led to the very high profile resignations of 9 different m. P. s within the labor party some of the jewish all of them doing that in process over corbins handling of the situation he himself is not accused of anti semitism but as the leader of the party essentially overall responsibility fell to him he responded though to this report saying that it was dramatically overstated for political reasons and thats put him on this collision course with the new leader of the labor party Kiran Starmer who has now suspended him means that Jeremy Corbyn still remains an amp a albeit an independent one but considering hes been an m. P. Since the early 1980 s. A significant blow to him and a clear indication that starr wants to take the labor party in a new direction breaking from the past ok need barkha there live from london thank you.
