skittle is following the story 1st joins me in the studio bring us the latest on what's happening now in the go to care about well this is a conflict that has flat out then gone through periods of lull for over 3 decades now but what we've seen within the last 24 hours is really probably the most serious escalation in recent years so at the moment we're hearing reports unconfirmed that 31 people were killed on sunday in the region which is a mountainous area between armenia and azerbaijan how we got to this stage is not entirely clear because there are conflicting versions so our media as defense secretary said that as a big john launched an attack on civilian settlements in the area that a woman and a child died as a result as well as around 31 troops the prime minister also tweeted saying that they had taken down a number of hours of the johnny military hardware on the other side of this azerbaijan it saying that it it was the victim of shelling meeting $25.00 civilian
1:03 am
losses and it can found only one of its helicopters had indeed been shot down both alleged to have footage supporting their respective stances neither of them can be independently verified what we do know is that the military activity in the region is still ongoing and this is what the leaders have said so far. the armed forces are very many and have shoulder settlements as well as our military positions from several directions upload them present the azerbaijani army is firing at the enemy's military positions that most of their equipment has been destroyed and i mean that is doing everything possible to disrupt the negotiation process and i can see that they have succeeded. want to stick to tauriel regime his regime of hostilities 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 i realize that there are many phobia amity and hatred
1:04 am
with which the as it johnny dictatorship finished people for many decades cannot lead to any result other than war what of boston american it even it seems that the only thing that these 2 countries have in common at the moment is martial law i.e. the military as temporary taken over government affairs on mena house also fully mobilized military meaning that it issued a nationwide conscription. this is nothing new as it is a long standing conflict is more of the background to it absolutely this is a longstanding conflict which has been going on really since the final days of the soviet union both countries are former members of the 2nd union now the pony cart but is a region in the caucasus mountains and despite declaring itself independent back in the ninety's internationally it is still recognized as part of as a big john let's take a look at how its history unfold at. the. so
1:05 am
as we can see as is often the case with disputes along religious or ethnic lines the region really has been scarred by ferry of bloody clashes in fact the rule back in the ninety's thought dad. $1000000.00 displaced now the as a p johnny president says he's confident that no one a car back will be returned to us of a john whereas in recent hours with out from the armenian prime minister who said that now he is ready to discuss the issue of the region's independence so again
1:06 am
really different perceptions on how the future of the region will work whenever there is international conflict particularly when there's violence the countries will have the say sometimes even take action what has been said internationally absolutely well over the years there have been numerous attempts made to resolve the situation peacefully to that and russia france and the u.s. co-chair the ments group and actually the armenian prime minister just now actually asked the mit script to reboot it efforts kind of with a renewed passion saying that the region is on the brink of a large scale war that has been really a unanimous call for peace from abroad russia has called for a cease fire that foreign minister sergey lavrov and president putin has been in communication with their respective counterparts in both countries this is being echoed by france and the u.s. iran which borders both countries has in fact offered to broker peace talks the u.n. or nato also expressed concern whilst turkey has actually thrown its support behind
1:07 am
as a bait john but it's clear that the international community wants absolutely no retarding to of course that really fatal and bloody history that we've seen so it's doing everything it can in order to peacefully and as quickly as possible resolve the situation ok many thanks for the early with me in the studio. we've also spoken to germans from the sport news agency working in armenia and azerbaijan here's what they told us about the situation that. our prime minister mean nobody is going to do anything to keep people in the we know there is martial war in armenia so. now more people who. are. i mean you are willing to go to the car about to pay for their homeland security is. right for people who are who they are are more higher but there has never been a fitness collation of the conflict their social position after it's been
1:08 am
a government is that the i mean you're an 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 was out the priestesses fire once again in several directions and azerbaijani army was forced to counterattack we have injured civilians civil infrastructure has been seriously damaged the minister of defense has announced that such an army is continuing its successful campaign. well russia analyst martin mccauley says that 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 and when you talk a little they're maximalist their 1000000 so that's not totally true we want it back only as a result you know it's true 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
1:09 am
point of view from the state point of view of the 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. countries across europe are seeing a resurgence of covert 90 with record numbers of daily cases some of had to reimpose lockdowns and other restrictions in the worst affected areas let's get more on this now for artie's europe correspondent sure the dubious. good morning to you charlotte things done what they're improving in fact perhaps getting worse in europe what's the situation. well there's a warning that france faces months of 19 problems that's because the epidemic is apparently likely to overwhelm the health system if no action is taken
1:10 am
that is a warning from france's one of france's top doctors who has said that the 2nd wave is arriving far faster than was predicted all of this comes as course as new restrictions come into force in parts of france. the 2nd wave is arriving faster than we thought in 3 to 4 weeks if nothing changes france will face a widespread out. break across its whole territory for several autumn and winter months. well the main concern there of patrick beware is the fact that medical staff may not be able to cope with increased demand again on the health system he's saying that because they might not be able to plug the gap they're exhausted and they might not be able to bring in the reinforcements needed just to bring you up to date on sort of some of the latest figures here in france
1:11 am
there were around 14 and a half 1000 new cases of positive of covert 19 in the 24 hours to saturday all of those around 4000 people in the last week went into hospital and we understand some 760 people needed to go to intensive care so that gives you a sense of what's happening here on the ground now from monday parts of france are going to see new restrictions taking place let's have a look now at some of those restrictions which include bars having to close early so by 10 pm in the evening there's also going to be the closure of sporting facilities and there's a ban on groups of more than 10 people in public spaces or defense such as weddings though these are being imposed for 15 days but of course that could be extended now over the weekend in paris there were protests against these new restrictions as to were there in mar say where there is even stricter regiments in place essentially
1:12 am
and many locked down. and we don't know where they find those statistics in the end it is a bit unclear we don't know if they're supposed to close tonight or tomorrow we don't understand anything in these accusations against restaurant owners have just gone they've made big sacrifices everything they needed to do. i'm going to stay open i have the keys to my business it's mine i paid for it as i said just far from the sky it's my life so even now they're just taking it so i'm going to stay all going to have the keys and i don't want this business. now the majority of people in france do you support the restrictions are being put in place by the government by the local prefecture but there is concern that they're not really convinced that the government is doing quite enough a recent poll showed that 65 percent of people who responded to that poll said they
1:13 am
did not trust the executive to deal effectively or fight effectively against the epidemic here now let's have a look now at spain where there is also concern over 19 some remarks from the spanish health minister suggesting that the spanish capital madrid was serious risk without tough 19 measures number of course extended its many locked down on friday but the spanish health minister says he won't even tighter restrictions. the situation in madrid is complicated series risks tough weeks are had and what must be done is to concentrate every once every just to protect people's health problem this is not an ideological battle this is that it be demure logical battle against a virus and we know how to do this because we didn't once before in all efforts
1:14 am
need to know you concentrate on that we need to listen to science listen to the experts. know most of the areas under restriction around madrid and its suburbs are poor areas and that has led to a lot of anger there people describing what's happening as being class confinement now let's move to the u.k. where more local lock downs are being announced on a daily basis in some parts of the country up to a 3rd of areas and now locked down and there have been protests held in london over the weekend against the code 19 restrictions clashes between the police. some protesters with the police having to use battens to control the crowds.
1:15 am
the yanks. i am who i am. who. are difficult times for the u.k. prime minister boris johnson who is also facing a revolt from m.p.'s who are unhappy with the fact that they do not feel that they were consulted when it comes to the new code 19 restrictions in parts of the u.k. specifically england now all of this comes as the world health authority the world health organization rather is predicting that there will be around $2000000.00 deaths as a result of covert 19 that's approximately 4.3 percent of the world's population if that was over a year but the models from the w h
1:16 am
o are predicting that that could be even worse if there is not strenuous measures taken to stop or to halt the transmission of the virus with the latest on the corona virus situation across europe. in paris thank you. now the 3rd phase of clinical trials of russia's covert vaccine is underway and stuff r.t. spanish and also at r.t. arabic could become the 1st for a list to receive a job we'll tell you all about that we'll have more news for you after this break.
1:17 am
1:18 am
welcome back as countries struggle to contain the 2nd wave of the pandemic russia's covert vaccine called sputnik v. is undergoing the 3rd phase of clinical trials to employees are among those taking part with stuff that r.t. arabic and all the spanish becoming the 1st foreigners in moscow to get the job. you can. hear that. if that's the theater many try to dissuade me they said that it's not worth getting vaccinated is the risks are too high however for me the pros outweigh the cons. here many people say that it shouldn't be the 1st wait for the vaccine to become more reliable for when everyone can use it i consider it all the possible scenarios
1:19 am
that may occur after having the fix seen but decided to take part in its trial. the. claim is everyone believed that it was impossible to be tested and humanity could not achieve anything this means that everyone things what they think is right therefore it is necessary that there are people who conduct such experiments and analysis so that we move forward towards obtaining the vaccine that will be the most reliable for all. i decided to get vaccinated because i see that the world has changed after the corona virus the world must drive for freedom and freedom will only be possible for antibodies and antibodies will arise through the vaccine and only in this way will we be able to overcome the corona virus. that i think it is very important to test this vaccine there should be people of
1:20 am
different races age groups people with different diseases it cetera because the vaccine will be widely used. only in this way we'll be able to overcome the corona virus which we've had to live with over the past few months and we suffered from professionally human to. economically as well as on a national scale. i think that the higher the level of awareness and transparency of our research the better moreover it is very important that foreign citizens see how this is contacted what kind of informed consent there is what are the designs in protocol of the research how this all happens and they'd read it in just agree they probably wanted to protect themselves better to subpoena i'm very glad about it in.
1:21 am
the 1st phase of splitting very clinical trials began over 2 weeks ago it's the 1st covert vaccine to be approved by russia that sparked criticism from western countries and media now a group of western drug makers competing to bring their own vaccine to market of unveil details of how the products being developed and what is a bid to get it approved more quickly quarter explains. such a small vial that could save hundreds of thousands of lives countries around the world are racing to perfect their own coronavirus vaccines russia sputnik v. was the 1st to be approved for production and the west was quick to criticize the state of his developments is being questions proving its effectiveness has not been presented a bag seen that has not been trying to a vaccine that has not been tested outside of russia america's top researchers say russia's cutting corners to develop its coronavirus that same u.s. regulators are resistant to the new coolness cut when it comes to testing and for many t.j. that is the key difference between what america is doing and what the russians have
1:22 am
just announced it's too early to tell if there's any merit to these fears but face 3 testing doesn't involve 40000 volunteers and those who have already taken part have yet to declare any serious side effects at the same time the world health organization seems optimistic about russia's vaccine do we see here is a good reason. for that it would. seem to be. pretty. pretty definitive. there is no reason that i see to be skeptical and the west big pharma is rushing to get emergency approval from regulators before the end of critical phase 3 testing companies like pfizer have even published their clinical protocols after public concerns that their vaccines weren't exactly safe then astra zeneca did the same after 2 participants had spinal inflammation and testing had to come to a halt these companies are trying to hide the multi-billion dollar contracts behind
1:23 am
their thirst for faster than life approval but it is surprising there hasn't been more negative media reaction to that especially in comparison to the onslaught that russia received over sputnik the it's always been politicized in various different ways and we need to get the politics out of medicine russian pharmaceutical companies legally cannot go to money to america. elections where while american pharmaceutical companies donated millions to american elections of course they're going to be done to favor american pharmaceutical companies those people byelection in america the only way to get politics out of medicine is to get government out of medicine and americans and american patient want to buy a vaccine from an american company that should be between the company and the person if they want to buy a vaccine from an indian company or a russian company or a canadian company that should be between them and that company the f.d.a. and the federal government should have no involvement at all because when they get
1:24 am
involved you see this kind of produce nonsense the effectiveness of any vaccine american european and russian no doubt needs to stand the test of time but when politics and profits get involved it's not always easy to remember who needs to benefit from this serum in the 1st place. the new york police department should abandon its policy of traffic stops state attorney general leticia james this proposal says it's because they often and the violence she signs in the case of ellen for lee's who was shot dead when the situation escalated following a routine stop well colonel charges were not warranted were green we concerned by some of the actions of the responding officers and issued a number for recommendations that the n.y.p.d. should take into account including your moving officer instruction gaijin in any type of routine traffic enforcement activity bodycount video shows the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of police last october i've been pulled over on suspicion of driving without
1:25 am
a seat belt he handed over his brother's driving license and an id to check revealed 3 open warrants for low level offenses of his tried to arrest mr foley's a struggle ensued and stun guns were used in the car started to move off one of the policemen shot mr foley's who later died in hospital. the policeman who fired the shot claimed that he feared his colleagues lives were in danger when the cost of moving with the phillies is dismissed that's all the family has demanded the officers be sacked an investigation ruled no crime but being committed by police but expressed concern over the 100 of the incident it's in the general's office recommended to the police stop routine traffic enforcement altogether or drop the policy of arresting people for minor offenses revealed during the traffic stops we had opposing views on the proposal. 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 it's not police who decide what level of force are
1:26 am
going to be used the suspect is size and we are forced to respond we do not need police officers to respond to nonviolent activity let's be clear on a few things attorney general james is not calling for the end of traffic stops she is calling for the end of traffic stops with people who have guns 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 overwhelmingly police primarily shoot white people and for example last year we shot about $300.00 black people and only about 7 of those were unarmed it might be true again that more white people are shot and killed by the police but as the per capita as a percentage of their population based on the population that black people
1:27 am
represent in this country black people per capita are shot and killed more by police officers briana taylor is dead because of the one time on and unnecessary and irresponsible use of guns by police officers this is a narrative that the police are starting the violence is a fantasy. brought forth by radical organizations like anti fog and black lives matter so now if you want police to stop 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 act crime 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 ok appreciate you staying
1:28 am
1:29 am
