Minutes from now france as it warms we are at war with an enemy from within and from without we are not at war with any religion we are war with islamist ideology islam islam is a form of 21st century fascism. Church knife from page up and 2 weeks after the beheading of a teacher and part of his students caricature of the Prophet Muhammad here is how i thirst this tragedy unfolded in these. Well be watching this new tragedy today see victims of islamofascism child repeatedly denounced. Physical abuse and it will be the job for the siren of the farm and the Police Arrive to 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 the attack 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 been named in the Brazilian Press as being simone. 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 from their referencing operation 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 mrs already been subjected to terror attacks in the past including that horrific attack. In 2016 that saw 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 oaken security there is no safety 3 people are dead what you are married to build another mosque sums up each 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 show 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 some of the party who had used those images as part of a civics lesson to discuss freedom of speech and now we. We have this attack here in nice there have of course be anger spilling out on the streets here too not just in this protests 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 agenda identity they came out to the streets calling for islam to be out of europe so there really is a huge sense of anger here on the ground to. Charlie doman scooting us throughout the french government has told its embassies to tighten their security after a wave of protests by muslims in several countries. Yeah and staying in libya there are one local business went as far as placing images of the french leader on his shop floor for customers to stand all alone there are calls from muslims across the world to boycott french goods. As you see here. The county council its a little bit angry because of what happened after that its holding the mass injure of god the Prophet Muhammad under the pretext of democracy is not considered democracy and for france honestly we want to tell you that your statements are offensive to every arab muslim and to the whole world that we demand the man. Back to go and try to get at. Is playing with fire and this case is interesting to see that we denounce frons for offending the prophet therefore we denounce and bully quote every people do anything from france that console us. All some of the great against mr mccall 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 shouting gold as great as the Norfolk Police moved in to break up the rally and several people were detained the embassy has asked the russian government to ramp up security for french diplomatic staff. Meanwhile the french satirical magazine. With a cover featuring a cartoon of the turkish leader after president to earn a one last start out of money or micro or his crackdown on hard line islamists. The publication of discuss things our Senior Correspondent picks up the story 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 now. Clearly its inhumane it is highly reprehensible and i hope that justice will be so this attack 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 mark roden 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 the 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 government still goes on to divide us it will create separate groups in society and it is not the solution for the 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 us 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 in the 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 off mohamed 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 charlie has reprinted these cartoons at regular intervals a magazine with a very modest circulation has now found a cash cow for peoples feelings and beliefs for which they themselves have paid a high price. And. Swore never to give up these characters and during so even if everyone else does only further angry 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 apparent crimes of such extremists is not unique to could be use of freedom of speech and only fuels extremism the recent statements that the leadership level is a 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. Completely failed france is now seen as an enemy in the muslim world this. Book called spro debts and all that has been his little project his plan to essentially domesticate islam in france may it be the most ambitious thing macron has undertaken. And moving the program on a powerful earthquake has claimed the lives of at least 12 people in western turkey and another 2 in a nearby greek island quick struck on friday and the g. And c.

Get to shape out these days become educated and engagement equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Just approaching 20 minutes into the Program Welcome back social media giant twitter was flying down r. T. Reports on u. S. Election fraud as potentially misleading that label means users cannot comment on the post or share it r. T. Has asked twitter to explain its actions but so far weve received no reply kill a mocking the correspondent up the center of the story told us what happened. Its very interesting that this report has been labeled misleading by twitter and regards to a civic matter because if you look at it none of the material is original to ourselves right i mean the report that i put together i simply drew from whats being said by International Bodies as well as what was said by u. S. President donald trump this is what we included in the report this election will be the most rigged election in history this is going to be a fraud like youve never seen now we also included highlights of what u. S. Media itself u. S. Mainstream Media Outlets have been saying take a listen to that east texas official is a jail accused of committing voter fraud Manatee County supervisor of elections mike bennett says wiggins requested a mail in ballot for himself and his wife meanwhile the state election board is asking georges attorney general to look into 98 outstanding cases of voter fraud d. O. J. Announced at the f. B. I. In the Pennsylvania State police are investigating fraud in mail in ballots in loser and county that we also made a very important point of being balanced we did not only highlight the claims of republicans and Trump Supporters we also highlighted the concerns of democrats about voting irregularities and about polling places Voter Suppression etc take a listen to what we included from democrats who are also expressing concerns if congress and steet dont act immediately our country could face a new electoral tour noble this fall you know when twitter says that this report is possibly misleading about a civic matter that would make you think that we were giving people Incorrect Information about how to vote or Something Like that we did nothing of the kind take a look at the report it was simply pointing out the situation in the United States where there is widespread you know anticipation of this election widespread fear according to polls that there could be violence in the streets and rioting after the elections and you know and the fact that if such an election were taking place in another country there would be statements from. U. S. Officials expressing concern and that there would be there would be talk you know that somehow such an election may not be taken seriously and there would be you know criticism of that electoral process if it was in another country we showed hypocrisy on the part of u. S. Leaders in the up plus up lead in the leading to this election coming up in the United States so im looking for anything in the report that they say is misleading there was nothing in the report that was misleading we quoted other sources we showed what is the reality on the ground in the United States is which is that people are very nervous before this upcoming vote on november 3rd killing. Coley. Here and discuss why twitters elections again start to raise concerns. Not a news agency has subject to broadcasting standards which means that every report must be balanced and fair and this report kaleb our correspondent has a hit to those rules ensuring to use key words like allegedly and sharing to keep it on a little yet balance 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 elections take a listen you may not use to it is services with the purpose of manipulating or interfering in elections 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 premature claims would be labeled as and used as what we directed to the official u. S. Election page and to tweet same to 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 and 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 it could have cost a shot away his chances in the race to the white house but twitter wasnt the only one to shun this story while i will intentionally not link to the New York Post i want to be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked. By facebooks 3rd Party Fact Checking partners in the meantime we are reducing its distribution on our platform 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 could sit in Silicon Valley and demand. That 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 every organization that stands up to twitter agrees to its terms of service and so when you deny their platforms the answer shipped us press that we havent censored the us president oh yes youre out now the senate tearing 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 here twitter has previously labelled r. T. The editor in chief Margarita Simonyan russian language twitter account as 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 arties account a state affiliated media again failing to do the same for other foreign state media such as the voice of america or aljazeera 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 there nonetheless 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 has in determining what people read or dont read and what they trust that we have that requested comment from twitter and we will bring it to you when we get it. That the scotian you just watched has also been flying by twitter as potentially misleading content we heard from independent researcher appears more robinson know he believes social media giant should not seek to educate users that they believe to be the folks biggest concerns that i am about. To control them. Is. No longer trusting you. Actually use their own judgment. You know so much so you. Go down. Dont censor dont try and go into this tariff youre deciding what is this information and what is not but you actually are allowable classes without the serial requirements etc without wanting to make soup bowl the plan no criticism would be that each you twitter etc and facebook are seen and controlling information flow which really is going one direction which is actually politically biased the actual x. A late news is part of the bias itself. Is why its such a dangerous road to go down i think more in general i mean it does the i think a wider crack concern amongst people which i think is probably increasing now that you know information is being censored weve seen it in so many different round on so many different issue areas and of course knowing the code 19 Remote Control the c. E. O. s scientists being blocked from you shoot and so on and it is just creates an overall sense of distrust in me and chats as well of talking of social media giants the updates keep on rolling on our Facebook Page why not leave a comment or 2 on the story or stories of your choice there hope to see you again in just over 30. An entire village in alaska. If another country to run the white vote in america. We do everything in our power productive. Today to skipping the Climate Change is the same threat right now alaska seems some of the fuss just coastal erosion in the world we lost about 35 feet. 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring.
