Will go back into a nationwide lockdown. Im afraid. The basic message is that the. State. Can save lives. And. The screen. Of the age of 90 unique insights into the scots life from a. Former scottish 1st minister alex. This is our National Thomas with us we start with news from the. Greek orthodox priest has been shot and injured side of his church the gunman fled the scene however police now have a suspect in custody. Reports. A suspect is in custody but its not been confirmed that this is definitely the perpetrator behind this attack which saw a 52 year old Greek Orthodox priest shot in the stomach you know the priest who is attended to by medics at the scene was able to give a description of the perpetrator and he has been named the priest that is by the greek government is being Nicholas Akaka the luckiest no there is some suggestion that this may be a small speech but ill tell you more about that in a minute lets 1st of all lets have a look at what are you witnesses accounts saw and heard around the time that those shots rang out in the. Morning i live in the area i heard gunshots but at 1st i thought it was firecrackers we didnt take it seriously and then i saw the motorbikes the road blocks and the police and i realized that it was serious there was a church here and the priest who is 47 years old was shot. While i was just. And suddenly i heard Something Like how much some big boom and then he says so it was i might be kids playing outside i decided to figure out what was going on but then i heard someone screaming and they went downstairs i saw the police and realized what was. Fortunate this time its. Going to happen next thats what were now asking. For in the aftermath of the shooting a crisis unit was set up by the interior minister the french Prime Minister canceled that he was heading to to come back to paris we know an investigation has now been turned into what is. Really tempted assassination but what hasnt happened which would normally happen if there was any sense that this was a terror attack or terrorist related is the fact. That this would mooney be seized by the anti terror prosecution unit that hasnt happened in this case and french media are reporting that they are hearing from the ground that this shooting moved as a result of a personal dispute apparently the priest was seen to be leaving the community in the on to go to a new station and thats because they had been some disputes in the community this is whats being reported by the french press but of course this comes at a highly sensitive time here in france where just a couple of days after a terror attack it was described by president maclin as being in islam this terror attack that saw 3 people brutally murdered in the town of nice lets just have a reminder of what unfolded that. Road but this new tragedy today you see victims of islamic fascism repeatedly denounced. Returned. After the siren of the farm and the Police Arrived weekly just really with the bikers and everything that followed then they set up a security station i went down with my scooter and i saw the guy come in take refuge at the cathedral afterwards i heard a lot of gunshots. Well as a result of that brutal horrific attack that unfolded the nice on thursday france has raised its. Our alert up to the maximum level the country now deploying 4000. 00 extra security personnel to try and bolster the security situation in the country this comes as france is about to celebrate all saints day which is a major catholic holiday in the country the countrys Prime Minister cast dix has said that you know all french people should be able to count on the nation to be able to carry out their religious beliefs their services in full safety we know that security has been deployed to bolster churches and schools after there was a specific threat that came out from an agency linked to the Terror Network al qaeda that came out just a couple of days ago but the reality is france has tens of thousands of churches tens of thousands of school so no matter how many personnel are deployed you just cant have security personnel outside every building so a huge amount of tension here in france as this major festival is about to be celebrated given the fact that france is now back at a maximum terror alert an alert that was 1st raised up to that level back in 2015 when it saw that wave of horrific terrorist attacks got insight into the turn situation right now in france from local analysts and commentators. The government doesnt know how to handle this situation this is nothing new there are 10 more 10 times more attacks against christian symbols in france than there are going to serve muslims for example not are there more attacks against persons but their kit attacks against charles against charges or this is something which is not new a catholic before tonights incident were already organizing and this is the 1st time i see this their own selfdefense groups there are cases there are areas as i said before iran if you want another 1000 france where active duty christian statements are hell and the government just doesnt do anything and then all of a sudden weve got these murders and weve got these attacks if you dont really about it or communication is a catastrophe it is totally not there are there is i think that that is the major issue as i think the Muslim Community those who are who of course dont agree with this with these killings these shootings these attacks have to voice their concern and they have to be more visible in the past 2 weeks france is not being under attack of people who twist the words and say that secularism in france is is fundamentalist an extreme and it is the way its causing deaths this is the 1st time doubt a shotgun is do you use its the 1st time that there was an ambush which i guess he targeted specifically that priest and not somebody else as opposed to random random people parishioners at the basilica and nice and especially because francis delegates and now is not the time to sort of mix everything together i will say and this is a horrible and sad thing to say that we can think in front that off a ducks churches would be targets that we felt that because catheter cism is the mainstream religion in france and we thought you know possibly a rolly and certainly really in this case that all the ducks churches would not be taunted to but we keep making wrong assumptions about the the virus of terrorism. The shooting in the on comes 2 days after a knife attack in nice in which 3 people were killed and 3rd man has been arrested by french counterterrorism officers on suspicion of links to the perpetrator french prosecutors are trying to establish whether this is particular was in contact with extremist islamic groups his family in tunisia have also come under scrutiny they deny any involvement in the murders. Hardly here at the most was a crime when he told me that he traveled to france and i asked him about how drove him to go as he doesnt speak the language or even know anyone there so i asked his brothers to call him and his phone was switched off and we tried to call him repeatedly but his phone was switched off until the day came when suddenly we were raided by the police and we were all taken for interrogation we do know what happened i lost my son and i lost my life and i demand an investigation about who stands behind this incident and i want to know who recruited my son my son does not do such things he cant even harm a chicken i want the truth. We are his cousins we are enormously shocked we are good people we stand against terrorism and we denounce what happened once and what we know about him is that he is a more room well raised person and we do not believe that he has suspicious connections and this is where the main suspect in the attack has been identified as a 21 year old tunisian migrant he was not previously known to french intelligence he arrived in europe last month through italy where he claimed to be a refugee however there he was served in expulsion notice and then dropped off the authorities radar. Terror struck in the southern french city in the early hours of thursday when a man wielding a knife attacked and killed 3 churchgoers of the Notre Dame Church it came just 2 weeks after the beheading of a teacher in paris who had shown his class caricature of the Prophet Muhammad we spoke with a priest who was inside the basilica in nice when the horror there unfold. Who was it i was in that church of the time of the attack it was almost 9 am i get a call from the police and was told that a terror attack has been committed in the nurture number zillah close down your church they said a few minutes later they called again saying that 2 people had been killed and fortunately later it was revealed that another person had died it all happened so quickly and on the will i regret to say this but 1st and foremost i feel anger it is not very holy only that the Security Forces issued a warning and tuesday by the threat of terror attacks being high so we all knew about that before the attack but no checks have been make the Intelligence Services havent done enough people have died thats why i am angry. I feel confused its unfair because christians and their feet they have nothing to do with this and what people dont know is that Charlie Hebdo has made more caricatures about christians and catholics and muslims the problem is not that these people are muslim the problem is that these people who commit these crimes are fanatics that is why its so dramatic and emotional youve all got to. England is about to enter a 2nd to lock down the british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson making that announcement on saturday evening after a recent surge in covered 1000. 00 cases its got to be humble in the face of nature and in this country alas as across much of europe the virus is spreading even faster than the reasonable worst Case Scenario of our scientific advisors and so now is the time to take action because there is no alternative route from thursday until the start of december you must stay at home you may only leave home for specific reasons were not going back to the full scale locked eyes of march and april the measures that ive outlined to lets prove it even less restrictive but im afraid from thursday. The basic message is that the city stay at home protect the n. H. S. And save lives the new rules take effect on thursday and will last until the 2nd of december nonessential shops will close along with Entertainment Venues restaurants and pubs people will be required to work from home where possible however schools colleges and universities will be allowed to stay open travel within the country will be discouraged and overseas travel will be banned except for essential business trips since the start of the pandemic the u. K. Has been hit with more than a 1000000 covered 1000 cases and over 46000 deaths at the highest registered toll in europe and over the past week the u. K. s daily infection rate has exceeded 20000. 00 localised restrictions have been rolled out in mid october with lock downs in several regions but they were met with strong Public Resistance public political commentator Anthony Weber believes the proposed cure may well be worse than the disease long term even before this lock down response how about the situation more. How much more until we become and now suddenly are we going to be complicated more because we government can somehow afford to add on the months further which the taxpayer will have to pay for the young people of this film tree lots of money for the future. What will they do you are going to see this they should want to think it is a great risk because theyre all been offered contrary well where theres no. Lets pull. The whole thing these disasters were all in government should be is the best certainly in the house the beautiful country even in any people are already for their 1st person in search of our expense. Before the Prime Ministers announcement Police Chiefs had called on the public to inform on anyone violating the anti pandemic rules they had even threatened to break up christmas family gatherings if more than 6 people are in attendance and britons are getting ever more angry as the Holiday Season nears our reports from london as cases around europe authorities are looking for ways to stem the tide and some of the measures are pretty drastic here in the u. K. Police in some areas of threats and to rape family christmas that is if they feel people are breaking the rules the grinch himself would approve. If we think theres large groups of people gathering with the shouldnt be the police will have to intervene the idea of police dragging grandma away in handcuffs might seem farfetched but some taking any chances and of getting creative in finding loopholes one innovative britain says hes beaten the restrictions on private gatherings and that only cost him 6 pounds by creating a company and listing family members a stuff some Police Chiefs to have other ideas and smashing your doors down while you watch the only fools and horses Christmas Special including informing on neighbors who are breaking the rules leading to fears of a socalled snitch culture being encouraged we also people in london for their thoughts on a possible christmas crackdown but im sure were not the only nation with these measures but a fact of the matter is i will not accept eyes on the constitutional right if i come kicking my door in that we get kicked back out into the story if police force went to come and try and break up the celebration and to get the names it just loses a lot of that whole element in london a family immunity to visit against the regulation and its will to keep the covert numbers down then what choice do we have that what we see going to get clear guidance in what we are exactly allowed to do not to do i think probably the government could be flexible for one. Because otherwise people are just going to be months of being miserable person in germany to Health Authorities have been calling on Security Forces to go into peoples homes to check whether rules are being followed. We are in the National Emergency that could be worse than in spring the inviolability of the public must no longer be an argument for lack of controls if true sort of regimes in apartments and houses in danger Public Health and safety the authorities must be able to intervene of course after the court of Public Opinion had its say on twitter lots of tried walking his comments back breaking up parties but also be on the canadian cops to do list in quebec officers are authorized to demand proof of residency and if homeowners or tenants refuse entry theyll be able to obtain warrants foster through a new virtual system and intervene while in new york police work use of invading a private home when targeting a jewish family during a crackdown on gatherings of more than 10 people but we have completed our Vehicle Market in the front there looked up you know over 10 people in the crowd so now its an issue where you are the Police Officer who lost you know it was. Tell me that its ok and beyond the immediate concerns of violated privacy invaded homes and lost Civil Liberties theres always the question of what happens when this is all over once your freedoms have been surrendered its not always easy to get them back. The u. S. Election is just days away and the National Intelligence director has sounded the alarm over alleged meddling in the past russia has been the main target of those claims but this year moscow is not alone arties down harkins as the story. One of the key things you need to know to understand how president ial elections work in the United States swing states the nomination process the Electoral College and since 2016 foreign meddling with tally atory measures against russia for its meddling in the u. S. President ial election a pervasive campaign by russians to interfere in this years midterm elections russia is interfering in the 2020 u. S. President ial race despite much of the heavily redacted evidence proving tenuous in establishing just how long. Medaling affected the 26000 election 4 years on its meddling saga 2. 0 this time with multiple suspects potentially involved 1st and foremost is russia the classics and aria and its deja vu for the democratic president ial nominee under trumps Republican Administration russias face the biggest different expulsions since the reagan era plus asset freezes as well as sanctions under the countering americas a diverse aris through sanctions act but biden and the democrats are confident moscow wants more of the same we know from before and i guarantee that i know now because now i get briefings again the russians are still engaged in trying to deal jitter mizar electoral process fact next its china because beijing is a economic and political adversary therefore must be up to no good except according to intelligence officials theyre rooting for the other team so i guess that makes it 11 we the china prefers that President Trump sees as and predictable theres not a real action lastly its iran because its a rogue state and with the us sanctions crippling its economy and u. S. Missiles assassinating its officials and clearly it must want some revenge on the samyn astray ssion force who is operating from their own has continued to attack the personal accounts of People Associated with drowned for President Campaign so is the main threat to us elections coming from abroad apparently the problem is closer to home as more than half of election related this informat
