the world i think that's a. very good reason to celebrate. use of nuclear in just. the decades old territorial conflict between them flares up again with the country's leaders accusing each other of breaching the trace. regime has resumed. its war against our independence freedom and dignity and is doing everything possible to disrupt the negotiation process and see that they have succeeded. the 2nd wave of coronavirus breaks across europe because infections flare up across the region and countries impose tougher restrictions. nukes attorney general pulls on the city's police to give up all the traffic enforcement . it's claimed. he's touring the rest of the proposal that has mixed reaction.

police officers to respond to nonviolent activity. to decide what level of force are going to be used. and we are forced to respond. good morning this is our team to national thanks for joining us. a decades old territorial dispute between armenia and azerbaijan this flood up again. resume on the to go on a border ballance erupted sunday morning and both countries have now declared martial law.

so seattle is following the story for our 2 she joins me in the studio and morning saskia brings the latest on what is happening in the going to a region well this is a conflict that has flagged off and gone through parents of long for over 3 decades now but within the last 24 hours we have seen the most serious escalation in recent years we're hearing unconfirmed reports that thought he wanted people including civilians have been killed in the want to return that happened on sunday but the military activity continued through the night and is still ongoing monday how we got to the stage is not entirely clear because there are such conflicting versions

both on me as a big john hughes a child of an issue these deadly clashes which violate a $994.00 truce both alleged how footage supporting that respective stances neither of which can be it depends if verify it not the leaders of the 2 arch enemy really countries have both spoken out passionately and quite aggressively showing no signs of backing down. the armed forces are very many and have shelled our settlements as well as our military positions from several directions load them at present the other by joining the army is firing at the enemy's military position most of their equipment has been destroyed i mean it is doing everything possible to disrupt the negotiation process and i can see that they have succeeded i mean everybody will stick to real regime his resume talks still it's a case it is a war imposed on the armenian people it is a war against our independence freedom and dignity we were provided for the post.

because we realize that the armenian phobia and latino hatred with which the johnny dictatorship that its people for many decades you cannot lead to any result of the war. another alarming sign that tensions are only worsening is the introduction of martial law in both countries and curfews in certain cities and us of a charge a media has also mobilize for the militarily calling on its conscripts to step up and. and this latest oh so these rig 90 what was a long standing conflict already has more of the background to this well this is a territorial dispute that has been going on really since the final days of the soviet union so nagorno-karabakh is a small mountainous area in the caucasus and really it's not just between are known as a paid job but it has a predominantly ethnically armenian population and they decided to secede back in the ninety's but internationally it is still technically registered as part of as a big giant well let's take

a look back at its troubled history. so as is often the case with disputes along religious or ethnic lines we can see the region has been scarred by really bloody clashes and that was back in the ninety's actually took 30000 lives and left 1000000 people displaced now that as

a big johny president says he's confident that this enclave will be fully retired as a big john but the armenian prime minister says well actually i'm now ready to consider the region's independence a really differing perceptions of how the future of iraq will look and as we just read on the information we're showing on screen now the countries were involved in brokering a peace when there were hostilities in the past what's the international reaction but on this occasion well over the years there have been numerous attempts to stabilize the situation to that and russia france on the u.s. or coach at the minutes group and in fact the armenian prime minister only recently asked for the group to reboot its efforts with a renewed passion saying that they are on the brink of a really large scale war that has been a unanimous school for peace from russia france the us iran which borders both countries has offered to broker the deal of the un and nato forces spoke out expressing side totty has thrown that support behind us i think john you know it's

a true sign between these 2 countries has always been pretty. so understandably this is more like rhetoric the ongoing military activity is alarming and with many hoping that we won't see a return to those luckiest day ok many thanks for the of the muscatel in the studio with me. we've also spoken all does about the situation that. our prime minister is amounts that are made in the game i was going to do anything to keep people of horrible fate as we know there is a martial war 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. in the. right for people who believe in our army or her well there has never been such an escalation of the conflict official position after it's been on a government is that the i mean you 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 several directions and azerbaijani 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 unless malta mccauley says that this down to all mean even as a measure on a loan to resolve the differences. it's up to the general staff the government really knows about john and you know me to decide and when you talk a little the maximalist there 1000000 say that's our territory and we want it back and the as a reason 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 state policy used to disaster because they're wasting

resources which are likely needed for the development of their countries and their and economies and you can see this to them of what they say we must defend. countries across europe are seeing a resurgence of covert 19 with record numbers of daily cases some of resulting reimposing not downs and other restrictions in the worst affected areas auntie's europe correspondent shala devinsky has more. 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 that is a warning from france's one of france's top doctors the 2nd wave is are running faster than we thought in $3.00 to $4.00 weeks if nothing changes france will face a widespread outbreak across its whole territory for several autumn and winter months here in france there were around 14 and

a half 1000 new cases which stood of positive of covert 19 in the 24 hours to saturday from monday parts of france are going to see new restrictions taking place there over the weekend in paris there were protests against these new restrictions as to were there in marsay where there is even stricter regiments in place essentially and many locked down. we don't know where they find their statistics in the end it is a bit unclear we don't know if they're supposed to close tonight also we don't understand anything in these accusations against restaurant owners have just gone they've made a 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 you know just far from the sky it's my life's even now they're just taking it so i'm going to stay all going because i 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 did not trust the executive to deal effectively or fight effectively against the epidemic here. now let's have a look now it's spain where there is also an heightened concern over. some remarks from the spanish health minister suggesting that the spanish capital madrid was it serious risk without tough 19 measures number of course extended its mini lockdown on friday but the spanish health minister says he wants even tighter restrictions. didn't sort of the situation in madrid is complicated with serious

risks tough we've already heard of and what must be done is to concentrate every once every just to protect people's health doubled 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 need to know you concentrated on that we need to listen to science so you can 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 the areas and now under lockdown and there have been protests held in london over the weekend against the code 19 restrictions clashes between the police and protesters with the police having to use battens to control the crowds.

i i i. i. i i i i. now all of this comes as the world health authority the world health organization while there is predicting that there will be around $2000000.00 deaths as a result of covert 90 knots approximately point 3 percent of the world's population if that was over a year but the mortals from the w. h. o. are protecting that that could be even worse if there is not strenuous measures

taken to stop or to halt the transmission of the virus. the 3rd phase of clinical trials precious vaccine is on the way about because of style but i'll teach spanish and auntie arabic to become the 1st for this inversion to receive the job will bring you that story and others after the break. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation in the community. are you going the right way or are you being

led. what is true. is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or a mate in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you there.

welcome back the new york police department should abandon its policy of traffic stops to any general latisha james proposal says it's because they often and in violence she cited the case of families who was shot in the situation escalated following a routine stop. while colonel charges were not warranted or grimly concerned by some of the actions of the responding officers and issued a number for accommodations that the n.y.p.d. should take into account including removing officers from the gaijin in any type of routine traffic enforcement extended. body cum video shows the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of philly's last october you've been pulled over on suspicion of driving without a seatbelt he handed over his brother's striving license and an id check revealed 3 open warrants for low level offenses offices tried to arrest mr philly's a struggle ensued and stun guns were used in the car started to move off one of the policemen shot mr philly's related died in hospital. the policeman who fired that

shot claimed that he feared his colleagues lives were in danger when the car started moving mr felice's family lawyer dismissed that while the family has demanded the officers a sacked and investigation ruled no crime had been committed by police but expressed concern over the handling of the incident internal general's office recommended other police stop routine traffic enforcement altogether or drop the policy of arresting people for minor offenses revealed during the traffic stops that opposing views on the proposal. it's not the police officers that start the violence the reason that mr flees 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 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 jeans is not calling for the end of traffic stops

she's 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 so 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 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 to violence is a fantasy brought forth by radical organizations like anti fog and black lives

matter 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 been taken care of by an officer who didn't have a gun we have cameras to take care of people who have sped cameras can. also to cure 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. as countries struggle to contain the 2nd wave of the pandemic crosses coded vaccine called sputnik v. is undergoing the 3rd phase of clinical trials to employees are among those taking part the stuff at r.t. arabic announcing spanish becoming the 1st foreigners in russia to receive the job

. i mean. it was all. a little. out of. many try to dissuade me they said it's not been worth getting vaccinated because the risks are too high however for me the pros outweigh the cons up here people say that you shouldn't be defers to wait for the fixing to becoming reliable i considered all the possible scenarios that made her after having the fix soon but decided to take part in its trial. and. i decided to get vaccinated because i see that the world has changed after the front of virus antibodies will arise through the vaccine and all in this way will we be able to ever call it

a corona virus. if. it is necessary that there are people who conduct such experiments and then our listeners so that would move forward towards updating the fixing with that would be the most reliable form. obviously going forward is to take a course in clinical trials which is important to us because this is the 1st a vaccine it's test the vaccine make sure it's effective tool but. if. i feel maybe i'm a little nervous about all this too much noise due to the pandemic too many people getting sick if more people tell us the vaccine will no faster whether it works or not. more that.

the 3rd phase of this. the clinical trial began over 2 weeks ago as the 1st vaccine to be approved by russia it sparked criticism though from western countries and media now a group of western drug makers competing to bring their own vaccine to market have unveiled details of how the products being developed in what some see is a bid to get it approved more quickly these don't have 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 scene u.s. regulators are resistant to the new coolness cause 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

just announced it's too early to tell if there's any merit to these fears but face 3 testing doesn't fall 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. 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

. 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 american elections while american pharmaceutical companies donated millions to american elections of course we'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 if an american patient wants 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

involved you see this kind of proteus 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 the serum in the 1st place. amid efforts to get the vaccine to markets the fundament he's continuing to haul not just people but also economies the head of the accounts chamber of the russian federation alexa gudrid spoke exclusively with about russia's response to the pandemic. on langenberg pending me 1st of all none of the countries were prepared for the pandemic not europe not the us countries with the best medicines that's under normal circumstances have a very systematic approach to treating regular diseases were not ready for the pandemic no one was but under the given circumstances russia rose to the task and did it fairly well in this respect we are among the best we weren't worst at

dealing with the pandemic than leading countries. with. the support to the regions was incredibly swift with funds allocated for new equipment purchases and construction projects measures were enacted fairly quickly mobile hospitals were opened in different regions the 1st 2 months there weren't enough masks but later on that was handled in this regard mobilization was quick and i think after around 2 months the situation was wholly said spectrum with. us for business and newborn most businesses are not happy in some lines of business up to 20 percent received support in others a 3rd if you look at specific measures but most businesses didn't receive anything this help wasn't meant for everyone and so a lot of people are unhappy for example only companies from the so-called list of most affected sectors receive tax postponements out of wage subsidies or interest

free salary loans in most cases those were small and mid-size businesses i. was bush and we know the number of people living in poverty has increased by more than 1000000 these are families that can't afford basic needs and that's a direct result of the pandemic more than 20000000 people are living in poverty that's a big number and the government needs to take additional steps to reduce poverty at the. you know when you score from us he said i wouldn't say we are immune to future sanctions all new sanctions will have negative effects but we have adjusted and learned to live with those sanctions that have already been imposed in the beginning the negative impact was greater then it was reduced because business did started taking new risks into account the government began supporting some sectors we've learned that the say that we can just as well to new sanctions at some point sure but there will be some negative effects regardless i. have

a question you want to put on the new songs the u.s. imposes sanctions on european countries if they don't abide by america's terms the u.s. abandons holds treaties which define the rules of the game on trade i would say this is akin to saying well it's not just russia suffering losses from this this policy of a bull in a china shop goes against international rules destroys trade and is detrimental to many countries not only russia i'm against such economic sanctions for political reasons. ok you're up to date i will return with updates for you in about half an hour's time i hope to see that. 75 years of nuclear energy. and on the multi this is a very important yet for the russian nuclear industry that during the 75 years of activity a lot of experience has been gate we started research development in all areas of

energy production and use that is used on the roads in health care to ensure the well being of the population. simply 5 years of nuclear industry. action or times you were going underground as new coronavirus restrictions are put in place in the u.k. by prime minister morris johnson that will arguably disproportionately hurt the
