restrictions. follow their welcome the latest news on the back of what's been happening over the last 7 days to you watch and we can hear an arche international now a decades long conflict between 2 neighboring countries has fled again armenia has declared martial law and a general mobilization of the country after hostilities erupted with as a bizarre is seen armed clashes resume in the disputed nagorno-karabakh region well this is footage released by the armenian defense ministry reportedly shows as the tanks being attacked by armenian armed forces meanwhile the shots have been published by the as defense ministry and smoke can be seeing billowing across the area with more now on the story his dong quarter. all started sunday morning when we saw this sudden renewal of hostilities between azerbaijan and armenia in the

disputed region of nagorno-karabakh that's located in the caucasus region which is just. south of russia now who's to blame both yerevan and baku are accusing each other of being entirely responsible for these renewed hostilities and they're both vowing serious military retaliation. actions under present attacks are being made on enemy positions military equipment has been destroyed. our response will be as tough as ever there are many an army has all the necessary means to crush our enemy again now we've already heard that infantry armored in air forces and artillery batteries have been deployed by both sides in this conflict and they've already engaged in fighting with conflicting casualty reports now in response the regional government in nagorno-karabakh has declared martial law and general conscription of all males over and over the age of 18 well it's important to understand that all this is the continuation of a decades long conflict 25 people have died in skirmishes between the 2 countries

since the beginning of 2020 alone and since 2015 over 200 have been killed or injured the fighting even goes back to even before the fall of the soviet union the . turkey immediately threw its support behind azerbaijan at the beginning of this latest conflict we heard from ankara's presidential spokes person who said that azerbaijan will not be alone but russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov he had a bit of

a different take on the situation he said that there needs to be or there needs to be a ceasefire and a return to negotiations aimed at stabilizing the situation here we also heard from the head of the european council who had who has said basically the same thing cease fire and return to negotiations although this latest conflict it's rapidly developing so it's still unclear what path it's going to take. ok let's get the thoughts now of russia and with martin. mccauley martin good often ain't he we were hearing that armenia has mobilized the entire country and says you know it's preparing itself for potentially a full scale conflict or sure if this high far away away from that potentially happening. unfortunately we're pretty new to it because i've been in azerbaijan and armenia and when you talk to them they're maximalist their meaning so that's not penetrate and we want it back and the as a release a note was our territory we want to control it and there's no you can't really

discuss it with them they are maximalist this late one side says it's owns the other side says it's ours so therefore it's a situation which unfortunately has not given right rise to more conflict we've had this before it broke out in the soviet union in 1908 when most chris paul was declining and the armenians thought that they could actually take human to go to a court of law. and that war lost the until not you know the floor unfortunately we've had security as every since what the azerbaijani forces are larger and better armed to the armenian and from their point of view from states point of view as the disaster because they're wasting resources which are likely needed for the development of their countries and their and economies and you can say this to them but they say we must defend our competitors in the garlic above. and they will not listen to really any outsider telling them what they should be doing while on that

i mean russia the e.u. and nato of all said look the sites meeting achieve a cease fire some high and get back to negotiations iii don't see that happening. well all they can do is say we're going to do it please do it please have a cease fire and so on but at the end there the day it's up to the general staff the government knows about john and is on leave to decide they will decide they will obviously they would expect the outside world to say stop fighting and go back to negotiations because this doesn't make any sense you're destroying both your state your that you're wasting resources you're killing people and so on and that doesn't make any sense at all to an outsider but you have to then understand how the as a reason the armenians think they're maximus and they want to have their view and they want to ensure that they win and both sides say they can win but unfortunately it will can only center this will continue because milad side power either by john

has now there's a border turkey and again he said that he will come in and buy guns side and the official language of azerbaijan is now turkey so there's a very closely allied i mean the main supporter is russia and neither neither taking the whole russia wants a conflict but all they can say to the list are fighting please go back to negotiating table what sort of impact could this have on the region as a whole maci think. now it shouldn't spill over into it because i mean you have to have friends in the caucuses. and other by john there they have friends over there doug stan and blizzard but they will not become involved. the danger for a mean year is because they're smaller and weaker and poorer that if the the turkish army and the coach provide that call of volunteers then you could have

a conflict with here because reid would believe they could win because in the 1964 conflict a lot of generals and other gung afghans and others can mean only other by the only side so the danger is that these mysteries will be pulled into the conflict and then armenia will then appeal to the outside world please we need mercenaries coming in outside and it could escalate so. basically moscow and. muscular and the turks the turks the russians on the struggle the stronger position and they can fact say at least talk this fighting because it's been a very new one it's destroying your economies killing people and the outside world think you're mad to be doing this they will not support you please come to the negotiating table and stop this mayhem i mean it when you look back at the history of all of this and as a long history to look back on but if you take it from 1904 for example when

a cease fire was agreed since then we've seen it breach many many many times i just wondered does a different approach need to be taken i'm not sure what that could be but everybody seems to be repeating what they've been saying over decades and it's made no end yes because the u.s.g.a. the organization for the cooperation in europe who actually has come in an opinion several times all they can do is to sit round table and appealing to the as a raise and their meaning they can't use force they can do. move military force there all they can do is it words we can use words and so on and say please please would you like to come to the negotiating table it would appear at this time that the answer is brit perhaps we believe in a stronger position sean to move your position because the military has been updated recently they might think that they can interact now to go recover from military point of view and defeat army military. because not a very large village with as well does not mean 150000 people there is

a very small minded mountainous and a very good try to get a mountain syria's very very dangerous you're going to lose a lot of men so basically. the turks and the russians will say to the their partners please you're getting nothing while you're doing is not really your so and the outside world will not support you we want to enter this conflict because he's destroying both of your economies and we don't want to spread we don't mislead coming in to both countries and spreading this because who knows where that will lead to. certainly take a look i'm going to leave it there that was martin mccauley author and russia analyst thanks for time tonight thank you. for. that despite some skepticism over russia's new coronavirus stack saying that in a piece in this week to declare it reliable safe and effective speaking at the un general assembly the russian president said today that such chaps must be made

freely accessible to everybody if the world hopes to end the cave it crisis and he offered free dices to u.n. workers. but would you leave them alone we are ready to sure experience and continue to cooperate with all countries and international organizations this includes the distribution of a russian vaccine to other countries which has proved its reliability safety and efficiency russia is ready to provide the un with top notch assistance particularly we offer a vexing free of charge for voluntary vaccination of un personnel and entities we have received such requests for more un colleagues and we won't remain indifferent to them. meanwhile advanced stage 3 trials of the vaccine are underway in russia more than 3 and a half as of volunteers have got the job say far more than 40000 are expected to take part well our correspondent was one of the 1st to receive it and she took us 3 her experience. it's

vaccination day for me and finally this morning i got a call from the clinic say i am in a deal candidate before that i have course took a number of tests and went through a thorough screening now it's time for a final check with the doctor before getting the shots good afternoon. and the luster is a pregnancy test that was designed to make sure it's safe for me to receive a vaccination. right now i am ready the vaccine doses are stored in the freezer they take out each of those immediately before the injection each waxen is individually allocated ever beijing has a specific code and each child has this card and marked on it mean in its assigned to a particular patient. it could be either the real back seen or it will say the. number

is 0062 seeks. the number is correct confirmed. yes question now we can ask how many times you were there i'm afraid to be vaccinated of course i'm not afraid to you see this vaccine contains neither wife nor death coronavirus this means i can't get infected with called it rain and of course i won't be able to transmit it to anyone else here look this is your vaccine lone from there is not much in there that looks like a couple of drops. will it hurt no. i am about to make the injection ok i am ready. what did it feel like like a normal shot like a mosquito bite as they usually tell my daughter. so i'll get the secular jack in

free we hear him on the riff and ocean of there now doctors on the copd front lines in russia are among those being given the vaccine too we spoke to one retired medical worker who battled the smallpox outbreak back in the 1960 s. she's also among the 1st to get the job. as soon as i heard there would be a 3rd phase of the vaccine trial and there would be a lot of people i told my daughter please sign me out i want to be vaccinated.

of all who might be given a vaccination none of them have come back and reported any side of things. i 1st and foremost have never been afraid of getting a vaccination i've gotten them since i was a child i was given a little bottle with a monopoly ssion and then i was vaccinated without any fear or tears and due to my profession i've done plenty of an occupation so. now demonstration in central london against new york damn restrictions and even violence this weekend police moved in to disperse crowds in trafalgar square the failing to comply with social distancing on offices and 3 protesters were injured

while a number of arrests were. was . earlier this week the british prime minister unveils new restrictions are spiking cases forced johnson warned to that or another 6 months of measures were likely needed i do want people to start to go back to work now if you can and allow a more significant return to normality from november at the earliest possibly in

time for christmas and there were doctors in our medical advisors that they are going animists that things will be far better by the spring. so under the new restrictions paper are required to work again from home if they can mask the name and it free for taxi drivers and passengers to rule breakers will be fined $200.00 pounds for a 1st offense furthermore from thursday all pubs bars and restaurants do now have to close at 10 pm however many on line are already ridiculing the new 10 pm deadline with various means during the rains one bar owner claim the change of the rules will be extremely damaging. everyone knows it's a tough time everyone's trying to support businesses that they want to see get through this to represent something to their communities you know where well start is providing jobs for lots of people 80 percent of our trade by estimations that i

did not actually happens oftentimes that's quite a significant chunk that we're taking out of. revenue stream i'm going to need more support to start if they don't want to see mustard on that says i'm certainly going to need support on rent because we haven't you know it's the last 6 months we've got another month to tomorrow and then god knows what's going to happen for the next 6 months everyone in this country who's in a sort of relatively unaffected age bracket young people $1844550.00 they're just going to go home and continue the policy that we put so many measures in place and spent a fortune on making all of our license and use coded secure surely the most sensible place to have people consuming drinks and keeping safe keeping socially distance is within these premises dr an academic professor john ashton believes the government needs to rebuild trust lost since the 1st. this is very real sense of deja vu about the last couple of weeks certainly the last few days it feels like

chill over again beginning of march when the numbers of new cases began to double every 2 or 3 days so the real problem the fundamental problem at the moment is how do you re-establish trust because we finished up with drastic measures when we shouldn't have to have drastic measures if we take in the people on this tough journey from the beginning well what they have to do is to really critically put the local regional authorities the local governments aren't the local public health director who's in charge of the stead of stirring actually literally billions of us at these private companies to lloyd's and serco and others who are sailing to deliver the test and trace shouldn't people getting results after several days by which time they've infected other people put single at risk into local public health teams and rebuilding them very quickly. protesting battery system raging i

did speak to the elections back in august we'll have a look at the latest that took place today on sunday i just asked. is your media a reflection of reality. you know well transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going to like the way or are you being. what is true what is great. in the world corrupted you need to

descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex simon shore and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. follow again you're watching r.t. international post-election unrest continues to rumble on in bellerive use sunday has once again seeing protesters flooding the streets of men's because they continue to accuse president alexander lukashenko of stealing victory because he done off reports now from the country's capital. well several 1000 people have gathered in the capital but our roasts men scanned this is the fust mass protest

since the inauguration of alexander lukashenko it was branded by the opposition by the coordinates as as a good people's inauguration and it was meant to show that the current government is not enjoying the mass support of the by the russian people of the public and so far i have to say that up to 10000 maybe have showed up here to make their voices heard but really i have to say good a number from where we are and it's a good vantage point the number of protesters looks small and it looks like fewer people showed up than even last sunday and really the opposition have to say to show what they wanted to show the opposition needed that number but to a power of 10 they have come out in support of spittle on a to kind of scared to show that they are supporting the main rival the main rival alexander lukashenko at the elections now this protest comes to the tune of western

powers not recognizing the outcome of the elections. alexander lukashenko to resign and some nations even outright recognizing. the example of those main rival at the elections as the real president of here's what emanuel mccrone the french president had to say it is a crisis of power a north or a chair in power that cannot accept the logic of democracy and which is hanging on by force it is clear that look if she has to go now this statement along with many others comes as of the foreign ministry of belarus cools and all western nations to stop meddling in the country's affairs and she will lead the better russian people decide who the leader really is now just to remind you alexander lukashenko was inaugurated back on wednesday it was a rather unconventional event i have to say because it wasn't. announced it came as a surprise to everybody the opposition included some people called it

a secret inauguration with only a few 100 people invited and it was not broadcast live on national t.v. so since then the coordinates of the opposition have been trying to console evict the protest calling on people to show up on mass but that failed on wednesday right after the inauguration even though they tried the very day they called on the belorussian women to gather on saturday that was that's a weekly event but instead of what used to be thousands of better russian women marching throughout the capital till dusk only a few 100 people showed up yesterday for a couple of hours today a lot of people more people thousands of people showed up but still the numbers smaller the numbers of the day off there are fewer people in the streets than it was a week ago. money from the taxpayer funded coby care package designed to buy star stuff for the pentagon protective equipment was apparently fun rolled into the

hands of private defense contractors that's according to a new report congress this year gave the defense department a $1000000000.00 to battle the coronavirus but a washington post report now claims that most of that money went instead to ship building maintenance army uniforms satellites drones and also space surveillance the cash was supposed to address funding gaps in the country to cope with 19 response with the us suffering the highest number of cases in the world now does come amid serious anti coronavirus shortages in the country the center for disease control has warned that an additional $6000000000.00 would be needed to distribute vaccines next year and also says there is a severe lack of high quality face masks but the pentagon this double down on its move insisting that national defense must come 1st. we are thankful that congress provided also a.t.'s and resources that enable the executive branch to

invest in domestic production of critical medical resources and protect key defense capabilities from the consequences of curve it we need to always remember that economic and national security a very tightly interrelated and our industrial base is really the nexus of the 2 but we took to the streets of new york to find out what people think about the story i'll be given money for body armor and more importantly so you can live. to work for you people want the priority of money in the government is the priority it always has been and the. citizens were just realizing these things being misled and finding out that funding is going towards places that are necessary that will benefit people and it's part of being an american professor of preventative medicine when schaffner believes the spending scandal does go all the way to the top levels of power. obviously we would have preferred those monies go to code

relief i would think that this decision to spend the money not on the defense but on. on forces was made at a very high level 'd clearly the diversion of these funds from the public health programs of the united states is very misguided i would think that the appropriate congressional committees would do an investigation to find out why this happened and to correct this if a $1000000000.00 was misused we had better look to the rest also to see how those monies were expended the distribution of the vaccine is going to be our next major effort here in the united states to stop or to 'd reduce and control so cool that problem and all of those things will require funding it means that the congress of the united states has to hold the executive print to account they have to be

absolutely. very attentive to how these monies allocated for good purpose are being spent. it is just i mean top ossified in the afternoon here in moscow with more stories from the weekly about this and. the world is driven by shaped by. the dares thinks. we dare to ask.

always be polite never engage with a negative a good or confrontational. don't get into any conversation or start answering questions just ask for an attorney. to survive in terre gaze. definitely don't want to go on a trial in the jumpsuit on cups. you're more likely to walk free if you're rich and guilty or if you're poor and. you've got 2 eyes and 2 ears and one now. so you should be seen in here and a whole lot more than you're saying if you don't take that advice easy going to dig yourself a hole. are all.

hello and welcome to worlds apart there's an old persian saying when there is fire dry and the web burned together it may be an apt description of the call with 19 which affected every country on the planet with iran and the united states more than the other again based mewing visible and they mean that so many things in our lives shake up with these sworn and tired well to discuss that i'm now joined by iran's foreign minister. minister it's such a pleasure to see most especially in person. you know you are one of the firm.
