but. you. seem to you see new clues in. armenia and azerbaijan both declare martial law as a decades old territorial conflict between them flares up again. and in our review of the week running their putin office staff of the united nations russia's new covert vaccine for free with yvonne stage 3 trials of the vaccine underway in russia one of our correspondents is among the 1st here to get the job. this morning i got a call from the cleaning stain i am an ideal candidate here look this is your vaccine there's not much in there looks like a couple of drops ok i'm ready. and violence breaks out in central london as thousands gather to vent their anger at

new covert restrictions. hello and welcome you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international bringing you all the latest headlines and a roundup of the stories that shaped the week but 1st both armenia and azerbaijan have declared martial law after heavy fighting again erupted between the neighboring countries in a decades old territorial dispute vladimir putin has called on the armenian prime minister to put all efforts into preventing any escalation of the conflict over the nagorno karabakh region well this armenian defense ministry video reportedly shows azerbaijani tanks being attacked by armenian armed forces armenia claims 16 of its soldiers were killed in the clashes meanwhile the shots have been published by the azerbaijan defense ministry it claims they showed. destruction of on media and

military hardware smoke can be seen billowing across the area governments are 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 us or 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 war imposed on the armenian people it is a war against our independence freedom and dignity if we were prepared for the possibility of war because we realize that the amenia phobia amity and 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 an 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 spokesperson who said that azerbaijan will not be alone but russia's foreign minister sergey 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 i think that he will speak by phone with the leaders of our media and as a by john journalists for the spot big news agency working in the 2 countries vote as more details on the situation. our prime minister is now in that army in the able it's going to do anything to keep people of the we know there is war in armenia so. right now most of the people. most of the men who are living in armenia willing to go through with the for their homeland security. or who. collation of the conflict this issue position of has been a government is the i mean in the forces launched

a large provocation they fired extensively at the positions of those about johnny army along the entire front line and residential settlements at the front was out they breached the city's fire once again in several directions and army 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 mostly 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 in army to decide and when you talk a little the maximalist there 1000000 say that's our territory and we want it back on the as a release a no it's our territory we want to control it so therefore it's a situation which unfortunately has now given us 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 from blue states probably go to disaster because they're wasting resources which are likely needed for the development of their countries and their economies and you can see this to them of what they say we must defend. by some global skepticism over russia's new coronavirus vaccine a flood to be a part in this we declared it we're liable safe and effective he told the un general assembly that such jobs must be made freely accessible to everybody if the world hopes to end the covert crisis and he offered free doses to un star. 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 is proved its reliability safety and efficiency sure it's ready to provide the un with top notch the systems particularly we offer a vaccine free of charge for voluntary vaccination as un personnel and entities we

have received requests from or un colleagues and we will remain indifferent. fed wrong stage 3 trials of the vaccine are underway 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 is all correspondent. is vaccination day for me and finally this morning i got a call from the queen economists say and i am in a deal candidate before that i have chorused took a number of tests and went through after a screening. now it's time for a final check with the doctor before getting the shot good afternoon. and the last average of pregnancy tests i was doing 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 vaccine is individually allocated ever beijing has a specific code and it has this card and marked on it meanin is assigned to a particular patient. it could be either her real back seen or heard her say the number is 006 to 6. the number is correct confirmed. question now we're going to ask you many times where 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 carpet 19 and of course i won't be able to transmit it to anyone else here look this is your vaccine now and there's not much in there that looks like a couple of drops. will it hurt no. i'm about to

make the injection ok i'm ready. what did it feel like like a normal shuttle good like a mosquito bite as they usually tell my daughter so i'll get the secular objection in free weeks. if you're. a rally in central london against new lockdown restrictions ended in violence on saturday police moved in to dispose a crowd of up to 15000 in trafalgar square for failing to comply with social distancing line officers and 3 protesters were injured and several arrests were made. was. was. was.

was was i. thank. the british prime minister unveiled new restrictions on cheers day after a spike in cases has led to critics claiming he's been fumbling 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 though our doctors and our medical advisors they are unanimous things will be far better by the spring people are required to work from home if they can ask for now monetary 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 but as public health expert professor john ashton believes the government needs to rebuild the trust and last thing is the 1st lockdown. this is very real sense of deja vu about the last couple of weeks certainly last few days it feels like chill over again 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 restore british trust because we finished up with drastic measures when we shouldn't of apps i have trust exposures 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 and local public health directors in charge really stead of stirring actually literally billions of us at these private companies to lloyd's and serco and others who are failing to

deliver the test in-tray shouldn't people getting results after several days by which time they've infected other people putting all that risk into local public health teams and rebuilding them very quickly. post-election unrest continues to rumble on in belo voice sunday against all protesters flooding a string to the capital as they continue to accuse president lukashenko of stealing victory more than 100 people have been detained reporting from menthe katie. hall several 1000 people have gathered in the capital of paris men scanned this is the 1st mass protest since the inauguration of alexander lukashenko it was branded by the opposition by the coordinators as a people's inauguration 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. alexander lukashenko to resign and some nations even outright recognizing. example a question goes main rival at the elections as the real president of belarus 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 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 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 coordinators 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 moved people thousands of people showed up but still the numbers. small of the numbers of if there are fewer people in the streets than it was a week ago there was concern flying early this week over some belorussian opposition tactics including the publishing of names and addresses of thousands of police officers with more on that his mind garcia as with any d. add on the most asian operation the goal is sheer terror even and 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 pullen based and public ganda outlet 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 unorganized 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 nectar 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 year 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 after someone saw a photo of him in military uniform it turned out he was a construct in his service had ended last year but they aren't acting without support from foreign donations to the blessings of st lotty who not 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. is fair game law enforcement officers should remember the people of belarus who revealed the identity of those who carry out criminal orders you will have to look you people in the eyes. 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 sheen i have been forced to record this video because of harassment threats and insults towards me and my family as a result of fosse information on the internet please help me share this so that lies don't spread further and don't harm me and my family. too because.

journalists to one of our road constantine but at the bottom for example who has faced a tsunami of death threats at the behest of opposition ija mistrust that of course it is frightening i don't know what's going through their heads someone from the opposition texted me in 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 they defy anyone who disagrees with the aim to tens of thousands of better russians don't suffer from sleepless nights doesn't bother them though they go off 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 campaigns all doing the open. any savers. already in 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 in ordinary belorussians 2 they didn't sign up for this they don't want the nation divided into leasts and casts the unclean and the blessid opposition at the chills the more radical and hateful the opposition's message the sewer turned up to their protests. us taxpayers money earmarked by staff at the pentagon protective equipment against code that was apparently funneled into the hands of private defense contractors

according to a report in the washington post 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 satellite drones and space of aliens the cash was supposed to address funding gaps in the country's covert 19 response with the us suffering the highest number of cases in the world it comes amid serious anti coronavirus shortages in the country the centers for disease control of warned that an additional $6000000000.00 would be needed to potentially distribute vaccines next year and says there is a severe lack of high quality face masks but the pentagon has doubled down on its move insisting national defense must come 1st. we are saying through the congress provided authorities and resources that enable the executive branch to invest in the message production of critical medical resources and protect key defense capabilities from the consequences of covert it we need to always remember that

economic and national security a very tightly integrated and our industrial base is really the nexus of the 2 preventive medicine professor william schaffner believes the spending scandal go 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 'd clearly the diversion of these fathers 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 nature

effort here in the united states to stop or to do some control so cold it probably 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 purpose are being spent thanks for joining us for the weekly aeronauts international we're back in 35 minutes with the latest. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates. it's

. always gauge with. start answering questions just. to survive and. you're more likely to walk free if you're rich. you got. 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. wrong

. because. the trail. common ground. times they were going underground as new coronavirus restrictions are put in place

in the u.k. by prime minister morris johnson the will arguably disproportionately hurt the worst off in society and as the united states top 200000 covert related deaths nearly a 5th of all covert deaths worldwide in were due to civil unrest in the wake of briana taylor grand jury acquittals coming up in the show as the u.k. already fallen off the life said just privatization and shortages of blame for cope with failure as one of the world's worst frequently cited neuroscientists profess a call 1st of all neoliberal responses to what became the worst coronavirus death rates in the world and with the hands of the doomsday clock at 100 seconds to midnight the closest ever since it was 1st 747 and the year that support the raging wildfires an economic crisis intense international relations on top of a global pandemic we'll ask dr bradley garrett author of bunker building for the end times why in the event of armageddon it's only the rich who will be spared all this more coming up in today's going underground but 1st after a series of u. turns in an arguably disastrous reliance on private companies for testing traits

can it really be said that the government is guided by the science one of the world's most frequently cited neuroscientists profess a call 1st to news modeling is help to educate the world about the realities of coronavirus and its impacts says we're already falling off the knife's edge here in britain and he joins me now from london call thanks so much for coming back on as i said 10 days ago you said were falling off the edge of the knife since then boris johnson is in active new policies are closing bars at 10 pm instead of 11 satisfied with his response. yes i think that's a very understandable response it was predicted by our modeling studies it reflects one of the 3 leavers that the government has access to. best described i think in terms of changing or reducing the contact rates 3 social distancing like the rule of sex or the curfew and the 2nd kind of leader is clearly the population immunity which hopefully will be substantially augmented by

vaccination but that's something for the future but there's a 3rd really which is contact tracing so when you ask me would i be satisfied with curfew and actual lockdowns and social distancing absolutely there is another way. and i have to interrupt you there because johnson has claimed in parliament and a stand that the circle so-called n.h.s. jesson trace has quote very little or nothing to do with the spread of transmission of corona virus compared to what you're just telling me. that it yes. that is a lot of it to say testing and surveillance. cheney told management are all intimately related so. if he meant the testing isn't

a way of measuring and measuring things does not change the thing that is being measured them that substantially true but the i think the sort of more pragmatic and natural way of looking at this is testing it isn't an very important tool that enables us to monitor the responses of viral transmission to our interventions now your own independent sage maybe this is a long way from a statistical analysis of neurons but some of said is it wise to punish poor people with 10000 pound fines for a covert infection because some of said we're only as strong as the most vulnerable and if someone is faced with a jail sentence for not being a 10000 pound fine with who has covered and a roof over their head they're obviously going to go out and infect unwittingly but certainly go out into the community with a covert infection you know absolutely.
