armenia and azerbaijan both declared martial law as a decades old territorial conflict between them again the country's leaders laying the blame at each other's door. europe scrambles to spiralling cope with 19 factor rates anger at the return of tougher restrictions. i. just it's mind like. they're just taking something just. employees at r.t. spanish an l.t.r. a big become the 1st foreigners to test russia's. vaccine currently in the 3rd and final phase of trials. the new york's attorney general urges the city's police to

give up on traffic enforcement radical move that will help reduce fatalities during arrests the proposal both mixed reaction. and do not lead police officers to respond to nonviolent activity it's not police who decide what level of force are going to be used. and we are forced to respond. either thanks for joining us here on. a decades old territorial dispute between armenia and azerbaijan has again flared up as hostilities resume on the nagorno-karabakh border violence erupted on sunday morning and both countries have now declared martial law.

discuss the situation with. this is a conflict that has flagged often gone through parents of thought 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 people including civilians have been killed in the new one it region that happened on sunday but the military activity continued through the night and is still ongoing and monday how we got to the stage is not entirely clear because there are such conflicting versions both on media as a breach on a child of an issue deadly clashes which violate

a $994.00 truce both alleged to have footage supporting their respective stances neither of which can be independently verified the leaders of the 2 arch enemy countries have both spoken out passionately and quite aggressively showing no signs of backing down the armed forces of armenia have shoulder settlements as well as our military positions from several directions. at present the others are by johnny armies firing at 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 but you'll have to stick to real regime has resumed still it sees it is 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 armenia phobia amity and hatred with

which the azubuike johnny dictatorship for its people for many decades could not lead to any result other than war. another alarming sign the tensions a new western ng is the introduction of martial know and both countries and cut his insults and cities and us of a job a media has also mobilize for the militarily calling on its conscripts to step up and stuff and this latest incident his rig 90 what was a longstanding conflict already tell us more about the background to this well this conflict has reinstated back over a century as muslims and christians competed in the area now the new going to carpet is a small mountainous region in the caucasus and it's really not between a media and as a paid job but it does have a predominantly ethnically armenian population and they chose to secede in the ninety's but internationally it is still recognised as part of john well let's take a look back at its troubled history books.

so as is often the case with disputes along religious or ethnic lines you 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 the really differing perceptions of how the future of iraq will look like countries were involved in brokering a peace when they were hostilities in the past what's the international reaction been 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 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 from the us iran which borders both countries has offered to broker a peace deal the un and nato offensive spoke out expressing side totty has thrown that support behind us of a john you know it's a true sign between these 2 countries has always been pretty shaky so understandably this warlike rhetoric the ongoing military activity it is alarming

and with many hoping that we won't see a return to those bloodiest days. 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 in a meeting to decide and when you talk a little they're maximalist their 1000000 say that's our territory and we want it back and 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 state point of view 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. countries across europe are seeing

a resurgence of covert 19 with record numbers of daily cases some of resorted to ring imposing lock downs and other restrictions in the worst affected areas auntie's europe correspondent charlotte devinsky has details. 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 well his main concern is about the ability of medical staff to deal with this because he says they're exhausted and there are not enough staff to plug any gaps as needed it let's have a look now at some of the latest figures for covert 1000 here in france in the 24

hours to saturday there were more than 14 and a half 1000 new cases in the last week around 4000 people were quiet hospital treatment and of those 760 around required intensive care treatment all of this comes as there are new restrictions coming into force in 11 parts of france from monday that includes here in paris where we will see bars not allowed to open later than 10 pm sporting facilities being closed and a ban on gatherings in public spaces of more than 10 people this would put in place 15 days but that could be extended in paris there was anger over the weekend over these new restrictions with people going out on protests saying it's devastating their economy and that was also the case down in marsay which saw new strictures come in over the weekend many restaurant to cafe owners and bar owners say that they've just had enough 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 maru we don't understand anything in these accusations goes restaurant owners have just gone they've made it 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 to this business now the majority of people in france do support the restrictions are being put in place by the government and by the local prefecture but a recent poll showed that 65 percent of people said they did not trust the executive to fight effectively against the epidemic here now let's have a look now it's spain where there is also an heightened concern over 19 madrid of course extended its many lockdown froid day but the spanish health minister says he

won't even tighter restrictions. the situation in madrid is complicated with the serious risks tough weeks are had and what must be done is to concentrate everyone's severance just to protect people's health global this is not an ideological battle this is that if you do me a logical battle against a virus and we know how to do this because we didn't once before all efforts need to know you concentrated on that he was we need to listen to science or you could listen to the experts now most of the areas under restriction around the madrid and the suburbs are poor areas and that has led to a lot of anger there people describing what's happening as being quads fine meant now let's move to the u.k. where in some parts of the country. of areas and lock down and there have been protests held in london over the weekend against the code 19 restrictions clashes

between the police and protesters the police having to use battens to control the crowds. i. it all of this comes as the world health organization is predicting that deaths from covert going could reach 2000000 people across the world but this is a model and it's saying that things could be even worse than that and less serious efforts are made to stymie the transmission of the virus 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 r.t. employees are among those taking part the staff at r.t. arabic an r.t. spanish becoming the 1st foreigners in russia to receive the job. that's easy to many try to dissuade me he said and it's not been worth getting vaccinated if the risks are too high however for me the pros out cars here people say that you shouldn't be defers to wait for the fixing to becoming reliable i considered all the possible scenarios that may occur after having the fix and they decided to take part in its trial. 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 overcome a corona virus. easy. it is necessary that there are people who conduct such experiments and their listeners so that will move forward towards obtaining the fixing that would be the most reliable for. me so even for it is to take a course in clinical trials which is important to us because this is the 1st vaccine you test the vaccine to make sure it's effective tool but. i fear why maybe i'm a little nervous about it all 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. the 3rd phase of the sputnik v clinical trial began over 2 weeks ago it's already been approved by russia making it the 1st scene in the world to be registered. 3 and a half 1000 volunteers have already received a job with over $40000.00 expected to take part in trials western countries and media outlets scoffed at the early approval of the russian made vaccine they seem less concerned by haste which their own drug firms are seeking to get their vaccines to market auntie's donald 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 prove its effectiveness has not been presented in 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 just announced it's too early to tell if there's any merit to these fears but phase 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. there's 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 madonna and

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 america. elections well while american pharmaceutical companies donated millions to american elections of course we're going to be done to favor american pharmaceutical companies those people buy elections 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 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 the serum in the 1st place. and agencies for the refugees are especially at risk because the 2nd wave of breaks globally will bring you that story after this. when almost seemed wrong. why don't we all just don't hold. me.

yet to see how this day comes after. and in detroit equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those words. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.

the new york police department should abandon its policy if traffic stops state attorney general leticia james this proposal says it's because they often then didn't violet's she saw it at the case of police who was shot in the situation escalated following a routine stop while colonel charges were not warranted were green we 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 your moving officers from the gaijin in any type of pre-teen traffic enforcement. body cam video shows the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of philly's last october he had been pulled over on suspicion of driving without seat belt you handed over his brother's driving license and an id

check revealed 3 open warrants for low level offenses of just try to the rest of things struggle ensued and stun guns when used in a car started to move off one of the policemen shot mr fleas and died later the hospital. the policeman who fired that shot claimed that he feared his colleagues lives were in danger when the car started to move mr for these his family lawyer dismissed that or the family itself has demanded the officers be sacked investigation ruled that no crime had been committed by police but expressed concern over the handling of the incident attorney general's office recommended either police stop routine traffic enforcement altogether or drop the policy of arresting people for minor offenses revealed during traffic stops it's an issue we got opposing views to. it's not the police officers that started 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 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 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 offenders it's. with

a 2nd wave of the coronavirus pandemic breaking around the world international humanitarian agencies are warning of the dangers that this poses for refugees if having to him from the international committee of the red cross explains why displaced people are especially vulnerable. so already at the start of the pandemic we knew along with many others that displaced people were particularly vulnerable because it the park areas necessary situation and because of the conditions they were already living in in many camps they are living in incredibly crowded tents they are heavy they have problems to access basic services sometimes they might have access to water all the time and they already are exposed to chronic health problems in many cases just by virtue of the conditions they live in and the hardship they have seen many people in the region have been displaced must suppose time so they've lost their house not just once but but many times over it which

takes such a toll many of these countries in the middle east that have been hit by conflict the health facilities have simply been devastated in syria and yemen half of all hospitals are out of action or not able to perform the way they did before the conflict. puts the door tension to the plight of refugees is being hindered by migrant protests in europe where people are fed up with hosting ever more new come as a new k. there were clashes with police at one particular protest while lingering smooches bearing the brunt of migrants rival's tensions over specially high. oh it was like an isa i'm not talking no nigerian encouraging the british government doing anything to make these people go back to their own having we were told a whole town to thank for ourselves the way from the main town to feel that i'm crazy and not know how many years now and if we're here to send

a message to the greek government it cannot betray national issues it can't turn our greek people to a minority groups we fight against islam is ation and illegal immigration and defend our national sovereignty you know. his roots having to again she says that if people understood the heartbreaking stories of some of the refugees then they'd be more welcoming. it's a health crisis but it's also an economic crisis and people who are displaced are already incredibly vulnerable because of conflict because of what they've gone through and their corona virus is one more deadly challenge on top of all of that it is a constant battle against layers and layers of challenges and one woman in particular reached out to us a syrian refugee and she had actually lost her daughter in the war in syria come to lebanon and she lost her remaining child in the blast and she got in touch with our

mental health team because she was simply overwhelmed and i think this is a really really moving example of the many layer is that displaced people are coping not just the health scares and the fear of coronavirus but already they're dealing with having struggles through many many obstacles having been displaced many times before they're living in conditions that are far from ideal place there with all to join me for a place and often out. simply find ladies of nuclear industry. colleagues. a great success. india and in the future. look forward to continuing all cooperation on. home in future. simply fine ladies of
