both declare martial law has a decades old territorial conflict between them flares up again. review of the way for leaving office staff of the united nations russia's new vaccine for free. with advanced stage 3 trials of a vaccine under way in russia one of our correspondents is among the 1st here to get the job. this morning and i got a call from the same as i am an ideal candidate here this is your vaccine there's not much in there looks like a couple of drops ok i'm ready. in central london as thousands gathered to vent their anger restrictions.

sunday on r.t. and that means we take you through some of the biggest stories we've covered here over the past 7 days but some of the weekend developments to bring you up to speed on 1st though both media and azerbaijan have declared martial law after heavy fighting again erupted between the neighboring countries and a decades old territorial dispute. called on the prime minister to put all efforts into preventing any escalation of the conflict over the region this armenian defense ministry video reportedly shows azerbaijani tanks being attacked by a median armed forces armenia claims that 16 of its soldiers were killed in the clashes meanwhile. these shots have been published by the azerbaijan defense ministry it claims they show the destruction of media and military hardware smoke

could be seen billowing across the area both governments of blaming each other for the escalation. of the armed forces over many a have shelled our settlements as well as our military positions from several directions at present the other by johnny armies firing in the enemy's military positions most of their equipment has been destroyed armenia is doing everything possible to disrupt the negotiation process and i can see that they have succeeded . stick to tauriel regime has resumed till still it sees it is a war imposed on the old meaning people it is a war against our independence freedom and dignity we were prepared for the possibility of war because we realize that the amenia phobia and nitty and hatred with which the as it was only dictatorship fit its people for many decades could not lead to any result of the war it 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 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 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.

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 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 the u.n.

secretary general has also an immediate stop to the escalation adding that he'll hold the phone conversations with the leaders of armenia and azerbaijan journalists to the sputnik news agency working in the 2 countries produce more details on the situation there. our prime minister is now and that army in the neighborhood is going to do anything to keep people of faith and we know there is my show war in armenia so. now right now most of the people. most of the men who are living in i mean you're willing to go through that if they put their homeland security. or. their. coalition of the conflict their special position that's been on a government is the i mean ian forces launched a large scale provocation they fired extensively at the positions of that's about johnny army along the entire front line and residential settlements at the front

door down the cease fire once again in several directions and other such an army was forced to counterattack we have injured civilians killed and structure has been seriously damaged and mr defense has announced that such an army is continuing its successful campaign on russia analyst martin mccauley says it's down to armenia and azerbaijan alone to resolve their differences. it's up to the general staff the government knows about john and me to decide when you talk to their maximalist. back. we want to control it so therefore it's a situation which unfortunately has not given us the right to more conflict and they want to. ensure that they will from their point of view stay for years to disaster because they're wasting resources which are likely needed for the development of their countries and economies and you can say this to them but they

say we must defend. despite some global skepticism over russia's new coronavirus vaccine that even a potent this week declared it reliable safe and effective he told the u.n. general assembly that such a job. must be made freely accessible to everybody in the world hopes to end the covert crisis and he offered free doses to stuff. already to. continue to cooperate with all countries and international organizations this includes the distribution of the russians vaccine to other countries which is proved its reliability safety and efficiency sure it's ready to provide the u.s. assistance particularly we offer a vaccine free of charge for voluntary vaccination as un personnel and entities we have received requests for more un colleagues remain indifferent. advanced stage 3 trials of the vaccine are underway here in russia more than 3 and

a half 1000 volunteers have received the job so far with more than 40000 expected to take part among them as our correspondent. is vaccination day for me and finally this morning i got a call from the queen say i am going to do your 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 shot good afternoon. and a last pregnancy test. 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 tracks and is individually allocated ever beijing has

a specific code and it has this card i marked on it meanin is assigned to a particular patient. it could be either her or her. number 00006 just seeks. the. number is correct it's confirmed. now you can ask how many times you were there i'm afraid to be vaccinated of course i'm not afraid to do you see this vaccine contains neither light 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 known from there's not much in there that looks like a couple of drops. will it hurt you know. so i'm about to make things. ok i'm ready.

what did it feel like like a normal shot which like a mosquito bite as they usually tell my daughter so i'll get the 2nd in 3 weeks. if you know what all doctors on the code from line to russia are among those being prioritized to get the vaccine we spoke to a retired medical worker who battled the smallpox outbreak in the sixty's she's also among the 1st to get the job. as soon as i heard there would be a 3rd phase of the magazine truong and there would be a lot of people i told my donor please sign me i want to meet oxidative.

of all whom i've given a vaccination and none of them have come back and reported any side of that means. i 1st and foremost have never been afraid of getting a vaccination gotten them since i was a child and i was given a little bottle with a few lieschen and then i was vaccinated without any fear or tears and due to my profession i've done plenty of an occupation so. thanks to rally in central london against new lockdown restrictions ended in violence on saturday police moved in to disperse

a crowd of up to 15000 intra focus quest for failing to comply with social distancing not offices and 3 protesters were injured and several arrests were made . the british prime minister unveiled new restrictions on tuesday after a spike in cases it's led to critics claiming he's been funneling his way through the crisis since it began 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 are doctors in our medical advisors that they are unanimous that things will be far better by the spring well as things stand at the moment people are required to work from home if they can masks are now mandatory for taxi drivers and passengers a rule breakers will be fined 200 pounds for a 1st offense furthermore all pubs and restaurants are now required to close by 10 pm the british public health expert professor john ashton believe the government needs to rebuild the trust lost since the 1st lockdown. this very real sense of deja vu about the last couple of weeks certainly last for your days it feels like you know that show over again and the 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 really establish trust because we finished 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 properly put the local regional authorities the local governments and local public health directors in charge that is stead of serving actually literally billions of pounds at these private companies to lloyd's and serco and others who are sailing to deliver the test untraceable people getting results after several days by which time they've infected other people putting goal at risk so it's into the local public health teams and rebuilding them very quickly. you know without taking you through the biggest stories of the wake mall where we can turn off the bright.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic developments only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.

for. more of this weekend's headline news post-election unrest continues to rumble on in belarus sunday again so protesters flooding the streets of the capital as they continue to accuse president lucas of stealing victory well 100 people have apparently been detained reporting next. of. 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 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 a good 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 to have their say to show what they wanted to show the opposition needed that number but to a power of 10 now this protest comes to the tune of western powers not recognizing the outcome of the elections pulling alexander lukashenko to resign and some nations even outright recognizing. the example question whose 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 tarion power that cannot accept the logic of democracy and which is hanging on by

force it is clear that has to go now the 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 to the better russian people decide who the leader really is no 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 even called it a secret inauguration with only a few 100 people invited and it was no broad cost lives. on national t.v. so since then the coordinates is of the opposition have been trying to consolidate the protest calling on people to show up and months but that failed on wednesday right after the inauguration even though they tried then they they called on the better russian 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 as small as the numbers of is there are there are fewer people in the streets than it was a week ago. thanks the new york police department should abandon its policy of traffic stops state attorney general decision james proposal says it's because they often end in violence she cited the case of allen families who was shot dead when the situation escalated following a routine stop. while criminal charges were not warranted were green we can stand by some of the actions of the responding officers and issued a number of recommendations that the n.y.p.d. should take into account including removing officer instruct engaging in any type of pre-teen traffic enforcement. a body cam video shows the moments leading up to

the fatal shooting of police last october he'd been pulled over on suspicion of driving without a seatbelt he handed over his brother's driving license and the aidid check revealed 3 open warrants for low level offenses officers tried to arrest mr foley's but a struggle ensued and stun guns were used and when the car started to move off one of the policeman shot mr from these who died later in hospital. the policeman who fired the shot claimed that he feared his colleagues lives were in danger when the car started moving mr fleeces family lawyer dismissed that while the families demanded that the officers sacked an investigation ruled that no crime had been committed by police but expressed concern over the handling of the incident the attorney general's office recommended either police stop routine traffic enforcement altogether or drop the policy of arresting people for minor offenses that are revealed during those traffic stops right let's discuss that now with police training veteran betsy brown a smith and also political activist anthony rogers writes both welcome to the

program but see to you 1st of all if these regular stops for broken tail lights not wearing a seat belt are being conducted by the police and they're ending in too much violence or at worst death perhaps it is time for a reorganization of the n.y.p.d. to better suit policing new york in 2020. well what i want to say is that it's not the police officers that started the violence and the reason that mr police was shot was because he broke the law and he ultimately tried to run over several police officers and my organization the national police association wants people to know the truth about these incidents it's not police who decide what level of force are going to be used the suspect is size and we are forced to respond anthony if those responsibilities are taken away from the white. does it send the wrong signal out regarding the police are out there to catch no breakers at every level. yet i

don't think so i would disagree with the statement that was just made that it's not the police who are escalating the violence i would ask. her to comment on what happened to people like senator glenn and. philander castillo who was simply reaching to show an officer that he had the right to have a gun when he was pulled over for a broken tail light arbitrarily unfortunately we are seeing that people of color specifically black and latino and indigenous people or arbitrarily pulled over for things that white people are not pulled over for i would agree with attorney general james who has been a para paragon of a public servant this is what we're talking about when we say divest from and reinvest from police funds this could have easily been taken care of by an officer who didn't have a gun we have cameras to take care of people who have spent cameras can also take care of people who don't have. as was the case in this unfortunate situation where

we have another loss of life that was unnecessary due to escalation we do not need people who have guns to take care of nonviolent offenses but see there is an issue of police trust us and that and it's there is that fear among people pulled over by the police for a broken taillight not wearing a seat belt and especially if the people of color file fearing reaching into their pocket for their id reaching into the glove box for fear of what might happen that's not exactly an irrational faith. i have actually conducted thousands of traffic stops and let's go back to what our other guest talked about sandra bland committed suicide in the jail she was not killed by a law enforcement officer and the law enforcement officer that arrested her and was rude has been fired planner castiel was actually reaching for a gun and mr foley's in this traffic stop in new york had a large amount of drugs on. he had multiple warrants out for his arrest and he

decided to try and run over a police officer this narrative that the police are starting the violence is a fantasy brought forth by radical organizations like anti fox and black lives matter and understand that overwhelmingly police primarily shoot white people we interact with at least $60000000.00 people each year and for example last year we shot about $300.00 black people and only about 7 of those were unarmed this is a media fantasy that is designed to try to defund the police look if n.y.p.d. wants to stop doing traffic stops that's great but what you're going to see is what we're already seeing now crime is on the rise violent crime is on the rise but if the attorney general wants police to stop doing traffic stops i don't think you're going to get a big argument from the police because traffic stops are one of the most dangerous

activities that we're involved in and put multiple police officers are killed every year inducting traffic stops and to new york which is a case of a. just quickly or a quick rebuttal i would remind your other guest that there is no such organization as it does not exist so and i need to get our. passes there is no organization as n.t. but there is no by the one c 3 l.l.c. or 5 or one c 4 so we need to get our facts straight what i would say is that i would ask your guess is why does it seem that when white people can show up with guns we saw it in could no show when they're showing up to state legislative offices with their guns drawn they don't end up getting shot it might be true again that more white people are shot and killed by the police but as a per capita as a percentage of their population based on the population that black people represent in this country laugh. people per capita are shot and killed more by

police officers i would ask her again that it's things like no knock warrants briana taylor is dead because of the one time on and unnecessary and irresponsible use of guns by police officers we have plenty of cities that are just as big as new york including london where the vast majority of police officers do not carry guns we do not need police officers to respond to nonviolent activity which is why we have seen incredible reforms in cities like san francisco which is also a big and a major city in the united states where police officers will no longer be responding to mental health issues so homelessness to a simple traffic issues i would agree that there are times when officers are put into danger but the lentil castillo did not put that officer in to dangerous and i would ask your other guest to really check her facts about how center bland we do not believe what we have been told by the police officers because there is a lack of trust if she really wants to help the police officers do your job and stop indemnifying the litany of bad police officers who you know are on your force

just like we go after unions like the f.t.c. for protecting bad teachers we need to continue going after bad police unions who keep protecting these bad cops and just because they got fired does not mean that they can't get jobs again tamir rice was shot and killed within 8 seconds by a cop previously been fired from another police force so this idea that cops are not instituting the violence when they're the ones that have the guns is absolutely unfounded and feckless but to the average that perception fat's officers are more likely to get have a draw or a weapon on someone who is of color or from an ethnic background and that's a perception that lingered itself nothing new it's been around for decades isn't it come come from no way. it comes primarily from the media and from activist groups who don't want people to have to comply with the law briana taylor is a perfect example that was not a no knock warrant the police not been announced the witnesses have told us that

embryonic taylor was not killed and in a wanton disregard for life she was killed because she was being investigated for various drug offenses she was standing here to see her boyfriend and if walker when he's really her name is on the warrant she was part of a long term drug investigation and she was standing next to her boyfriend kenneth walker when he shot her started matley him not another thought nearly killing him until this week that briana was killed in his slate needs to be dispelled he was talking about the fact she was going to say that's a let on to come back ma'am she was sleeping in her bed no matter what the. law i am. now back i was here and tell you that this might not sleeping internet savvy to have any of finish a sentence you know i know it's not

a filibuster all you want but the fact of the matter is that she was killed in her bed she was not being in bed is. this woman was if i understand you have a little response this woman was a 1st responder how do you also do you know. how also go is because we're both we're moving away from the topic at hand which is that traffic stops of turning violence and lethal sometimes in new york betsy do you know at least except that given the chasm between public perception and trust and various levels of american society that police departments new york especially given the gun crime that's been there over the summer have to at least do something to bridge that gap if that's what least rescue some sort of reputation to be seem to be protecting the people that they're supposed to be policing. well here's the thing we got rid of stop and frisk in new york and gun crime has skyrocketed so now if you want police to stab doing traffic stops in new york then you're going to see crime triple i guess you

know what i'd say go ahead let's try it for 90 days do no traffic stats and see what the citizens of new york think about the escalating crime police officers don't go to work every day hoping that they can make a traffic stop maybe get run over and kill somebody so if you want to take work away from us fine we'll go on to other things and i got a closing thought from you and say because the from the police also many leads to more mistrust of the police doesn't it doesn't exactly going to be a way of solving the problem now and i totally agree with that so let's be clear on a few things attorney general jeems is not calling for the end of traffic stops she's calling for the end of traffic stops with people who have guns there are plenty of people who give parking tickets who don't have guns and i would agree with her that let's get them to do the traffic stops and again when we're talking about defunding the police we're not talking about abolishing the police although that's what i believe and i'm an abolitionist we're talking about vesting unnecessary.
