To get wrapped up a shot hes playing with fire escapes the president. Also this hour twitter sets its sights on our team labeling one of our reports on the us election as potentially misleading. Watching our 2 International Coming to life in the russian capital where its just turned 6 pm welcome to the program. We start and france which is reeling from yet another tragedy after a killing spree in a church in the Southern City of nice the countrys interior minister has warned the nation that it has to expect further atrocities. I mean some longer are fronts is it war were at war with an enemy from within and from without we are not at war with any religion we are war with islam is an ideology islam islam is a form of 21st century fascism to. The church my friend page happened 2 weeks after the beheading of a teacher in paris who had shown his students caricature of the prophet mohammad heres how thursdays tragedy unfolded in the us. It will be but in this new tragedy today you see victims of islamofascism china repeatedly denounced. President resend it will be the job for the siren of the farm and the Police Arrive to the weaknesses really with the bikers and everything that followed then they set up a Security System i went down with my scooter and i saw the guy come in take refuge in the cathedral afterwards i heard a lot of gunshots. The anti terror prosecutors said on thursday evening that they were still exploring lines in regards to the perpetrator behind the brutal attack it tack that took place just 24 hours ago in the behind me not tied down basilica in the heart of nice with 3 people were brutally murdered i just want to take you through some of the details we know about the victims of this latest terror attack air france one was a 60 year old woman who had gone to the church for press for the 1st mass of the morning we heard from the anti terror prosecutor that she was almost beheaded by the perpetrator a 2nd was a man a 55 year old man whos been named this of all saw as a father of 3 who also worked as a sexton at the church hed been here for 10 years and the 3rd person was a woman who said to be around 44 shes be named in the Brazilian Press as being. Silver she was stabbed she managed to escape from the church to raise the alarm. As a result of her heroic actions the police were informed and able to come and apprehend the perpetrator she succumbed to her injuries last words were apparently tell my family that i love them president mark on has warned frances once again attack but when he visited nice on thursday he remained defiant that freedom and france would continue to up hold its valleys in something if were attacked once again it is for our values for our taste of freedom for this possibility on our soil to believe freely and not to give in to any mind of terror i say with great clarity once again today we will not give in this morning we decided to increase the vigilance everywhere in france to adapt to the terrorist threat ive decided that our soldiers will be more mobilized in the coming hours and we will up the mobilization within the framework of operational sentinel from 30027000 soldiers on the ground there referencing operations sentinel this is not ration that was set up back in 2015 when that 1st terror wave really hit france following the attacks it surely abdo and then later in the year in paris which saw the the battle plan attacked in very many people who were killed in those coordinated attacks by terrorists 4000. 00 extra security personnel now deployed across france particularly at sites like this church and also at schools and one of the reasons that religious sites are getting the priority when it comes to security is because there was a release earlier this week from a thought but which is a press agency linked to the Terror Network al qaeda which suggested that christian symbols should be attacked in nice is already been subjected to terror attacks in the past including that horror. Back in 2016 that sort 86 people lose their lives when a truck plowed into a crowd of people who were celebrating the july 14th bust the Day Celebrations and nieces already had its fair share of terror people here disbelief shock once again that this could hit at the heart of the city but there is also anger to. The french demand justice who want these people to be deported to their country ok in security there is no safety 3 people are dead what you are married to build another mosque sometimes beach we are in a country that has witnessed atrocities teachers being beheaded priests having their throats slit people are beheaded in a church thats not france and even if we take in all possible security measures hed have been able to come in with a knife and do his deadly deed 0 risk does not exist and thats perhaps the most shocking thing for most people is that this is 3 people who are inside a church and theyre in a place where that should have been sanctity they should have been safety instead they met there and people have been coming to the church in lame true peace since that attack took place but the reality is that this is a community that is still in complete shock over whats happened since those attacks back in 2815. 00 which started this wave of terror in france we saw all those huge attacks and that this is but since then every few months there is another attack just in the last 5 weeks france has been subjected to 3 separate terror attacks it started with a stopping outside the form offices of shirley able to that followed the fact that the magazine reprinted controversial cartoons of the prophet mohammed angering muslims across the world 2 weeks later we saw the beheading of history teacher patti who had used those images as part of a civics lesson to discuss freedom of speach. And now we have this attack here in nice there have of course the anger spilling out on the streets too not just in this process weve seen over the last few days in muslim majority countries but in the song thursday night there was a demonstration held by the anti immigrant group. Identity they came out to the streets calling for islam to be out of europe so the really is a huge sense of anger here on the ground to. Further details have emerged about the suspect a 21 year old tunisian initially arrived on the italian island of lampedusa just over a month ago claiming to be a refugee italy has yet to comment on the case but the mayor of lampedusa has appealed for stricter migrant policies as us backed was reportedly carrying a document issued by the italian red cross after being process at a Refugee Center on lampedusa italian authorities were reportedly going to expel him but lost track of his whereabouts the case is causing uproar in rome where calls are growing for the interior minister to step down we discussed the background to the tragic events and nice with a panel of experts. When you see what goes on with the stream of speach. And the people that sharing our terrorist attack theyre not doing it because of charlie a little doing it because of of whats going on there they use serves as a useful way of giving what theyre planning to do anyway legitimacy you know there are a lot of people who disagree with charlie or do this all just thousands of what you would call is list is a mystic stream ists. Its very few more terrorists theres very few people who actually do the deal if he is charlie or do it was so offensive so horrible surely they could be thousands of people on the streets starving one another its not its a tiny tiny minority what is it about the tiny minority that distinguishes them from all the rest of them and thats why you have to look at this individual level when one starts it almost gives legitimacy to the others so the reason that france has raised its terrorism level is because it takes one and its kind of like a rally around the flag now were all going to rule that we go because it becomes rational you know when you think you will get legitimacy for it. As 60000000 muslims living in france you have a certain percentage who are killed the radical in the last and then spent a whole Business Branch of has developed a model as well that from seminars School Security act. What france needs right now is so much more. Cohesion or sort of reconciliation and more polarized handcraft but here i would observe that things have been going more in a polarizing but again supported by the majority of the french. The french government has told its embassies to tighten their security after a wave of protests by muslims in several countries the latest release took place in libya and israel as the islamic world celebrated the birthday of the prophet mohammad demonstrators carried banners denouncing the french president emanuel mccrone for his crackdown on radical islam following the recent terrorist attacks earlier this month micron also outraged many muslims by saying their religion was in crisis and libya one local business has gone as far as placing images of the french president on his shop floor for customers to stand on and there are calls for muslims across the world to boycott france. As you see here. The company. Says its a little bit angry because of what happened to the soul during the messenger of god Prophet Muhammad under the pretext of democracy is not considered democracy as for friends honestly we want to tell you that your statements are offensive to every arab muslim and to the whole world we demand demand. Back road and putting it that. Is playing with fire in this case things that d we do know as friends for a friend in the prophet therefore we denounce and believe quote every people do anything from france that comes to us. Some of that anger against the french president has been seen here in moscow earlier on friday a crowd gathered outside the French Embassy for a 2nd day in a row the protestors could be heard chanting god is the greatest in arabic weve moved in to break up the rally and several people were detained the embassy has asked the russian government to bring up security for french diplomatic staff. Meanwhile the french satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has upped the ante with a cover featuring a cartoon of the turkish leader after president aired on lashed out at emmanuel over the french crackdown on hard line islamists and the publication as disgusting. Takes a closer look at the french governments policy towards muslims. Something in france is broken and it is france nowhere else in europe is there this much terror killing and a complete breakdown and Mutual Respect and understanding these latest attacks there just that the latest. Clearly its inhumane it is highly reprehensible and i hope that justice will be so this attack and who deserves it i do have words as a matter of fact its really shocking me. When i feel sorrow it makes me crazy so crazy its impossible to see this im speechless i dont know what to say. A year ago macron warned against stigmatizing muslims were all one people he said since then something has changed now hes talking about islam of separatism shutting down dozens and dozens of Muslim Charities and organizations and has unveiled a plan to domesticate is lot. Of our citizens of this islamic faith must be protected against the evil of radical islam i say it here because the will of the islamists of its ideologues is precisely to turn a part of our citizens against the republic using their religion and we cannot let that happen. Macros platen involves forbidding french moms from training overseas restricting foreign funding for religious organizations giving the government control over religious subsidies and you loon you get money if you sign a contract saying you respect french values he even has a name for this new french islam the islam of an lightman or everyone is challenged about macros little cult and specifically his cracked out on Muslim Charities and and geos if the government still goes on to divide us it will create separate groups in society and it is not the solution for muslim mosques and associations and im guilty maybe some people who come in but not everybody people have the right to practice their religion as they want so we can close a police who worship like that. I 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 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 it is incredible how simple cartoons can cause this much bloodshed and hated misunderstanding one side sees these cartoons as nothing but an insult and a public city stunt which essentially they are intended only to insult and defend more than a 1000000000 people the other side including the french government sees it as an expression of free speech houllier than any god and free speech is a constitutional right of any french citizen. We will not give up caricaturists or drawing even if others retreat we started this freedom and look at caricaturists. Not necessarily of mohammad but we look at caricature has to show freedom of expression frankly i think its horrible what happened where hampering our freedom of expression the freedom to learn to know for 14 years has reprinted these cartoons at regular intervals a magazine with a very modest circulation has now found a cash cow peoples feelings and beliefs for which they themselves have paid a high price. And. Swore never to give up these caricature isnt even of everyone else does only further angering muslims. Needs a 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 his country who are members of a different faith muslims are the primary victims of the cult of hatred empowered by colonial regimes and exported by their own clients in something 1100000000 muslims and their sanctities for the apartheid crimes of such extremists is not unique to could be use of freedom of speech it only fuels extremism the recent statements that the leadership level is the dence of this a creation of the holy cow. A reflection of this increasing islamophobia that is spreading in European Countries we must explain to the western world the value systems differ for different social and religious and ethnic groups in the world backgrounds tough talk has so far completely failed france as they are seen as an enemy in the muslim world islamophobia boycotts protests and all that as for his little project his plan to essentially domesticate islam in france may be the most ambitious thing macron has undertaken. R. T. Has asked us all media giant twitter to explain why one of our reports on the us Election Fraud was labelled as potentially misleading earlier i discussed the story with my colleague making an. Thank you whats behind this decision by twitter well jacki as we know leading pretty much all the news cycles around the world right now is the upcoming u. S. President ial election this just days to go on reporters all over analyzing the process the polls and everything to do with this Major Political event and here at r. T. Weve been doing pretty much the same but now for the 1st time one of our reporters been red flagged as a civic integrity label from twitter there is a warning if you like for readers that the reports might be disputed that the details might be misleading on closer inspection which is failing to see what it is about this report that is wrong alarm bells for the guys at twitter and the report our correspondent basically highlights all of the concerns that have already been discussed about voter fraud ahead of the election challenges that the sea has already raised itself and we quoted that in the report take a listen Overall Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights Needs Assessment Mission interlocutors noted that the conduct of these elections will be the most challenging in recent decades they expect that Election Officials will face serious challenges prior to and on election day due to new measures in response to covert 19 pandemic and expressed concerns over their ability to overcome them now they are to news agency has subject to broadcasting standards which means that every report must be balanced and fair and this report kaleb our correspondent has it here to those rules ensuring to use key words like allegedly and sharing to keep it analytical yet balanced and referencing all reports and official channels now what we like to do here at r. T. Is we like to bring a range of reports together dig a little deeper try to salvage some accuracy and call out any hypocrisy is why its hard line here is a question more but twitter did say early this month that it was going to be ramping up its use of these warning labels on tweets to help curb any misinformation ahead of the election. Take a listen you may not use to it is services with the purpose of manipulating or interfering in elections all of the civic processes this includes posting sharing content that may suppress participation will mislead people about when where or how to participate in the civic process we believe we have a responsibility to protect the integrity of twitter conversations from interference and manipulation now as part of this twitter has announced that disputed claims in the election process would be flagged or removed tweets that include any premise your claims will be labeled as and used as what we directed to the official us election page tweet saying that inciting interference in the election process and all the results such as calls for violent action may be removed and as weve seen recently its not just r. T. That has raised red flags for the guys at twitter this comes just a week or so ago since twitter on facebook i decided to remove links to a story being run by the New York Post regarding alleged emails on an old laptop of hunter biden now this is a story that was rubbished by his father joe biden and yet you know it could have cast a shadow over his chances in the race to the white house but twitter wasnt the only one to shun this story and after this twitter as well as other Major Internet Companies have come under intense scrutiny and faced a grilling in the senate your position is that you can sit in your time and. You can tell them what stories they can publish or you could tell the American People what reporting they can hear is that right. Out. Of greece to terms of service youre still blocked me to post right now youre blocking their posts now this Senate Hearing as you can see was pretty intense they saw the republicans and democrats interrogate the heads of Twitter Facebook and google and it really exposed this deep distrust in the power of Silicon Valley to police the web. Now this isnt the 1st time that r. T. Has received a twitter label those who follow us on the platform will know that our account has been branded as state affiliated media tell us about that youre right yet twitter has previously labeled arties editor in chief Margarita Simonyan as russian language twitter account russias state affiliated media which struck many as a little bit unfair considering that other news groups that are also state finance such as the b. B. C. And n. P. R. Were not given similar titles facebook has also labeled dieties account of state affiliated media again failing to do the same for other foreign state media such as the voice of america. Facebooks position back then is stated was to provide Greater Transparency into publishers that combine the influence of a Media Organization with the strategic backing of a state so i think the double standards are quite apparent that none the less whether its stories being run by the New York Post by r. T. Or anybody else questions are increasingly being raised over how much power social media hasnt it turning what people read or dont read and what they trust now we have requested comment from twitter and we will bring it to you when we get it for further analysis were now going to bring in live arties going underground host tansey now youve seen the report that were flagged do you think that there are grounds to call it potentially misleading. I mean obviously not as weve explained the o. S. C. As said similar things about the state of the us elections i cant tell you who we have on going on the ground saturday show but we went to the white house weve got a Top White House official who actually says that what twitter a doing is more dangerous than. More dangerous than the issue of mosques fending off corona virus that you dont need to know about the shareholdings of twitter and their alliances with the Democratic Party its obviously affecting the election and thats why President Trump is threatening twitter saying theyre not a platform if they continue in this in this way they are a publisher therefore they dont have the protections that they have as a platform i mean no bookshop owner goes in and starts underlining passenger passages in books and says watch out for this passage in a book they may not sell the book but they cant go in underlining passages in a book this is an important time and twitter appears to be i mean maybe a biden is elected president it doesnt matter but if trump is elected could it be nationalized as was done to normal utilities like phones back in the 1970 s. When it comes to Trump Twitter and now uses its fact check labels quite frequently flagging tweets by trump and the Chinese Foreign ministry for example how impartial do you think the system is the double standards are as you said clear i mean for decades the newspapers in the traditional media have in nato countries have shown propaganda skills at trying to demonize russia china any economic let alone political competitor this is mean this is obviously been transformed into these Internet Companies twitter has tried to disassociate itself from cia links in the past. Years ago they were involved in that desperately trying to separate themselves but facebook has a similar situation and of course Julian Assange is down the road from where im speaking to you now being tortured according to the un for what he did when he released cables olney internet regarding Hillary Clinton and the 2016 election this time around the military Industrial Complex arguably is taking no chances here though theyve presumably made a mistake why twitter hasnt replied to r. T. Until now no we dont know why they certainly didnt reply to the white house official were intervene on saturdays going underground and this is all meant to be in the name of the fight against interference but do you think that by telling readers what to believe what to question when it comes to the us elections twitter is in itself in gauging and a form of interference well the fact that the New York Post story about hunter biden had this i mean it was deleted i mean similarly this white house official i think tweeted did get back to me eventually they delete tweets and youre deleting entire tweets at least with r. T. Theyre not deleting tweets maybe there is a fear that countries opposed to us Foreign Policy if they start going around deleting tweets in this way they could suffer some extra extra consequences but again as you said earlier why is the b. B. C. And why is the b. B. C. Not labelled state affiliated media you go to prison here if you dont pay a t. V. License fee to which the money of which has to pay for the b. B. C. This is a clear double standard why is n. P. R. Why is voice of america why is it only r t c t n the aljazeera belatedly has a tagline now what changes if any would you like to see to the way twitter and other social Media Networks moderate content. Fundamentally these are utilities we all love twitter we all love facebook the people billions of users love it but the point is it now has the power of give me war and peace itself when twitter was shown not to look after the security of its accounts what then if a fake donald trump on twitter and said something about a simile Nuclear Armed country these are Public Utilities they were they were told the whole way these companies were created within the us taxpayer and the military Industrial Complex they belong to the American People not to a few billionaires who think its up to them on a whim which side theyre on so clearly like what happened with telephones Twitter Facebook these social networks are going to have to come under democratic control so that congress and Democratic Institutions have oversight to it not a few billionaires on whatever you want or private aircraft decide on a whim weve been speaking with r. T. Is going underground host Afshin Rattansi that you for your time and your comments thank you thats our news wrap up for this hour thanks for tuning in where be maybe. Hello and welcome across town where all things are considered im teetotal about even after russia gate was debunked as a hoax this Conspiracy Theory lives on in fact it appears to become part and parcel of our political discourse if you oppose someone or an idea all you have to do is blame in russia no fats necessary
