decades old territorial conflict between. the united nations russia. to get the job. this morning i got a call from. here. there's not much in there looks like a couple of drops ok i'm ready. there's

just. this is the. biggest stories that we've covered over the past 7 days because sunday's developments to bring you up to speed. have declared martial law after heavy fighting again erupted between the neighboring countries and a decade's old territorial dispute the. prime minister to put all efforts into preventing any escalation of the conflict over the nagorno-karabakh region this defense ministry video reportedly shows azerbaijani tanks being attacked by forces claims that 16 of its soldiers were killed in the clashes. meanwhile the shots have been published by the azerbaijan defense ministry it claims they show the destruction of

media and military hardware smoke can be seen billowing across the area both governments are blaming each other for the escalation. of the armed forces over mania 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 . you'll have to stick to tory old regime his resume till still it sees it is a war imposed on the armenian people it is a war against our independence freedom and dignity we were prepared for the possibility of war because we realize that the armenian phobia and latine hatred with which the azubuike johnny dictatorship fed 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 valid 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 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 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 the ceasefire 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 to the media to stop to the escalation adding that he'll speak by phone with the leaders of. journalists for the splitting news agency working in those 2 countries brought us more details on the situation. our prime minister has announced that army in the a valley is going to do anything to keep people of aruba safe as we know there is my show floor in armenia so genuine will do is a sure win out right now most of the people who are most of the men who are living in armenia are willing to go to the car above to stay for their homeland to change in the. right will for people who are who cannot i mean your high above there has never been such an escalation of the conflict their social position after it's been

a government is that the i mean you in armed forces launched a large scale provocations they fired extensively at the positions of those about johnny army along the entire front line and residential settlements at the front without the priestesses fire once again in several directions and doesn't budge on the army and was forced to counterattack we have injured civilians little infrastructure has been seriously damaged the minister of defense has announced that such an army is continuing its successful campaign russia analyst martha macauley 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 just lie when you talk a little they're maximalist their military that's our territory we want it back. no it's our territory we want to control it so therefore it's a situation which unfortunately has now given us the right rise to more conflict and they want to have their view and they want to ensure that they will from their

point of view state for us to dissolve because now they're wasting resources which are likely needed for the development of their countries and economies and you can see this to them of what they say we must defend. some of our other headlines from the week then and despite some global skepticism over russia's new coronavirus vaccine that he may put in this week declared it reliable safe and effective he told the un general assembly that such jobs must be made freely accessible to everybody in the world hopes to end the covert crisis and he offered free doses to un staff. but already to assure experience and 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 its not sure it's ready to provide the un with top notch assistance particularly we offer a vaccine free of charge for voluntary vaccination as un personnel and entities we

have received such requests for more un colleagues and we won't remain indifferent to. the advanced stage 3 trials of the vaccine are underway right now in russia more than 3 and a half 1000 volunteers are perceive the job so far with more than 40000 expected to take part among them is our correspondent maria from often are. 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 of 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 short good afternoon. and the last of these a pregnancy test. to make sure it's safe for me to receive the vaccination.

right now i am ready the vaccine doses are stored in the freezer they take out each of those immediately before the injection of the he tracks and is individually allocated ever beijing has a specific code and it has this card on market on it meanin is assigned to a particular patient. it could be either her real back seen or it will say the number is you will cease to seeks. the number is correct it's confirmed. now you know as you know many times where i am afraid to be vaccinated of course i'm not afraid to do 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 already. what did it feel like like a normal shot for words like a mosquito bite as they usually tell my daughter. so i'll get the 2nd half in free . next rally in central london against new lockdown restrictions ended in violence on saturday police moved in to disperse a crowd of up to 15000 in trafalgar square for failing to comply with social distancing 9 officers and 3 protesters were injured and several arrests were made.

if prime minister had unveiled the new restrictions on cheese day after a spike in infections it's led to critics claiming that he's been fumbling his way through the crisis since he began. i do want people to start to go back to work now if you can and allow a move 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 unanimous that things will be far better by the spring. so as things stand now people are required to work from home if they can masks are now mandatory for taxi drivers and passengers and 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 believes 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 the last few days it feels like you know it shows 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 new 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 aren't the local public health director who's in charge of the stead of stirring actually literally billions of pounds at these private companies to lloyd's and serco and others who

are failing to deliver the test and trace shouldn't people getting results after several days by which time they've infected other people putting all that risk so else into local public health teams and rebuilding them very quickly. live from moscow this is a on the way protests have been a rossa still writing over that disputed election exactly 2 months on well thank you on sunday rallies off the bright.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to the world of politics sports i'm show business i'll see you then. let's get more of the weekend's news now in post-election unrest continues to rob.

sunday again so protesters flooding the streets of the capital as they continue to accuse president lukashenko of stealing victory over 100 people have been detained reporting from. well several 1000 people have gathered in the capital but our roasts men scanned this is the 1st mass protest since the inauguration of alexander lukashenko it was branded by the opposition by the coordinators as the 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 the 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. 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 tear in 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 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 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 not broadcast live. on national t.v. so since then the coordinates of the opposition have been trying to consolidate the protest calling on people to show up on mass but that failed on wednesday right after the inauguration even though they tried then they asked 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 moved people thousands of people showed up but still the numbers. are the numbers of the if there are fewer people in the streets than it was a week ago of those concerned flag earlier this week some by the russian opposition

tactics including the publishing of names and addresses of thousands of police officers more on that next from. as with any d add on the operation the goal is sheer terror even the better russian opposition makes no secret of what it is doing join us they say or we will ruin your life. the main goals of this channel are to track down every criminal that has committed a crime against his own nation to collect as much information as possible about that individual and also to create a special database which anyone in free bellerose can use to check whether they potential worker partner or anyone they meet has committed a crime against humanity next to poland based and public ganda outlets recently dumped the names and personal details of belorussian policeman into the public domain police are not without fault suppression of protests arrests and

physical violence towards demonstrators unorganised were brutal and the public was outraged but the opposition feeds on that outrage stoking anger with fake news and hysterical nonsense armed russian special forces and dragon our fellow citizens by the hair is this normal are you willing to tolerate this. apologized for that saying it is impossible to verify every message that they get such as the actual guilt of the policeman whose names and addresses and telephone numbers and even relatives they published next to and other opposition outlets don't bother proving their guilt as was the case with nikita marching co he was falsely accused of being an agent of the state of the someone saw a photo of him in military uniform it turned out he was a conscious crypt and his service had ended last year but they aren't acting without support from foreign donations to the blessings of state law that he cannot

scare a former candidate for president during the election in august to this since fled to lithuania she says anyone in uniform who supports her rival current president you can do is fair game law enforcement officers should remember the people of belarus who reveal their identity of those who carry out criminal orders you will have to look you people in the eye. the same people you are supposed to protect and she doesn't seem to mind that these vigilantes are often wrong going after innocent people she doesn't seem to mind that not just them but also their families become the victims of cyber bullying and harassment and abuse and even attacks and it doesn't seem to concern her that it isn't just police or law enforcement that are targeted but also rescuers teachers and even journalists.

in the midst of the dissidence of the shooting i have been forced to record this video because of harassment threats and insults towards me and my family as a result of foster information is on the internet please help me share this so that lies don't spread further and don't harm me and my family. will be. journalists to one of our road constantine but the debacle of for example who has faced a tsunami of death threats at the behest of all position media ok mistrust that of course it is frightening i don't know what's going through their heads someone from

the opposition texted me and telegram saying look after yourself or a brick will find your head but at least he's just texting there could be someone else who will actually pick up a brick if they want me to go away then yes i will leave someday but not because of them not because of a text or a phone call another journalist had his car torched off the activists posted the picture of the vehicle on telegram with government insignia lose behind the pictures the veiled threats the fear campaign dave that anyone who disagrees with the aim to tens of thousands of better russians don't suffer from sleepless nights doesn't bother them they laugh it off look at the car still the logic behind this is that they are afraid of revealing who they really don't that is what would hurt them the most of these like 21st century bullets yes information bullets these blacklists and terror cab pains all doing the open. any favors lose thousands already and the least only more determined to prevent the vigilantes and

bullies from coming to power if they do things like these such horrific things now and laugh about it what will they do when they come to power and ordinary belorussians too they didn't sign up for this they don't want the nation divided into leesten castes the unclean and the blessid opposition and it shows the more radical and hateful the opposition's message the fewer turn up to their protests. us taxpayers money earmarked to buy stuff for the pentagon protective equipment against covert was apparently funneled into the hands of private defense contractors certainly according to a report in the washington post this week congress this year gave the defense department a $1000000000.00 to battle the coronavirus but the washington post claims most of that money went instead to ship building maintenance army uniforms satellites drones and even spaces surveillance the cash was supposed to be used to plug

funding gaps in the country's covert 1000 response with the united states of course suffering the highest number of cases in the world it also comes amid a serious anti coronavirus shortage in the country the centers for disease control of warn that an additional $6000000000.00 is going to be needed potentially to distribute vaccines next year and says there's already a severe lack of high quality face masks but the pentagon's double down on its move insisting that national defense must come 1st. we are saying for the congress provided off 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 in our industrial base is really the nexus of the 2 preventative medicine professor william schaffner believes the spending scandal goes all the way to the top levels of power. obviously we would have preferred

those monies go to cope with relief i would think that this decision to spend the money not on the cold it defense but. on forces was made at a very high level clearly the diversion of these photos 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 do some control so cold that problem and all of those things will require funding it means that the congress of

the united states has to hold the executive branch to account they have to be absolutely. very attentive to how these monies allocated for good purposes are being spent. and that's the way clean for this out thanks for watching i'm calling brian moscow i'll be back to update you again in around 34 minutes from now see that. simply fine foods of meat created just. for that whatsoever that. i wish on the best and that. they send that applications are.

the 5 leaders of nuclear industry. yes they gave. my social class laws passed people also in poverty by 1st place if you're born into a poor family op you're born into a minority family if you're born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your life chances people die on average 15 years younger than if you're going to generational poverty. it's

a tough fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person those. who dare use things. we dare to ask. not in times on the grounds not on low. cost on our mountain dalton tanonaka cammarata and it does

a company that talks about themselves as becoming increasingly green and while the rest of the world went the power lines fearing 3 climate change is real and we have to do something about it here's a company that now owns 10 percent of one of the dirtiest forms of fossil fuels on the planet so we know where is the integrity of those. switches so. it's good closer to get down to. the bare auction there and the box and there. is a stored cups. my dad would hand as he is trying hard to do not feel it. doesn't serve. just understood started skiing. this is.
