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 media as a breach on a child of an issue these deadly clashes which violate a $994.00 truce both alleged how footage supporting their respective stances neither of which can be it depends if verified now 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 menial have shoulder 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. stick to tauriel regime has resumed
6:04 am
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 we realize that the armenian phobia and latino hatred with which the azubuike johny dictatorship for its people for many decades could not lead to any result of the war. another alarming sign that tensions are only while singing is the introduction of martial law and both countries and cut his insults and cities and us of a charred amenia has also mobilized putting it militarily calling on its conscripts to step up and sob and this latest oh so these rig 90 what was a long. the conflict already tell us more about the background to this well this conflict has roots dating back over a century as muslims and christians competed in the area now the newborn a car back is a small mountainous region in the caucasus and it's really large between armenia and azerbaijan but it does have a predominantly ethnic it is still recognised as part of john well let's take

a big johnny 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 regions independence a really differing perceptions of how the future of iraq will look like countries were involved in brokering a peace when the 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 us or co-chair the 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 there has been a unanimous call for peace from russia france the us iran which borders both countries has offered to broker the deal the un and nato forces spoke out expressing side. support behind us of a john you know the truce signed between these 2 countries has always been pretty
6:07 am
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. more to mccauley says it's down to. john alone 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 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 police here 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 coverage 19 back or numbers of daily cases some have resorted to reimposing lockdowns and other restrictions in the worst affected areas r.t. 0 correspondent charlotte da vinci 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 for use a widespread outbreak across its whole territory for several autumn and winter months while 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
6:09 am

6:10 am
coming 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 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 inside the owner of this business now the majority of people in france. 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 spain where there is also
6:11 am
a heightened concern over 19 woodridge of course extended its many lockdown freud day but the spanish health minister says he won't even tighter restrictions because. the situation in madrid is complicated with the serious risks tough weeks are had and what must be done is to concentrate every once every just to protect people's health global this is not an ideological battle this is that it be dimia logical battle against a virus and we know how to do this because we did it once before and all efforts need to know you concentrated on that humans we need to listen to science you can listen to the experts know most of the areas under restriction around the madrid and its suburbs are poor areas and that has led to a lot of anger there people describing what's happening as being quasi fine meat now let's move to the u.k. where in some parts of the country. of areas and lock down and there have been
6:12 am
protests held in london over the weekend against the co-creator 19 restrictions clashes between the police and protesters the police having to use battens to control the crowds. i am. thankful for 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 this country struggle to contain the 2nd wave of the pandemic russia's covert vaccine called sputnik v. is undergoing a 3rd phase of clinical trials r.t. employees are among those taking part with staff at r.t. arabic and r.t. spanish becoming the 1st foreigners in russia to receive the injection. that's easy to many try to dissuade me they say to him it's not been worth getting vaccinated is the risks are too high however for me the pros outweigh the cons here people say that you should be defers to wait for the 16 to becoming reliable i considered all the possible scenarios that may occur after having the fix in the decided to take part in its trial.
6:14 am
i decided to get vaccinated because i see that the world has changed after the war on the virus scanty bodies will arise through the vaccine and all in this way will we be able to overcome the coronavirus. it is necessary that there are people who conduct such experiments analysis so that will move forward towards obtaining the fixing that would be the most reliable for . obviously going forward is to take a course in clinical trials which is important to us because this is the 1st vaccine it has the vaccine make sure it's effective tool but. i feel like maybe i'm
6:15 am
a little nervous about it all too much noise due to the pandemic too many people getting sick if more people tells the vaccine it will no faster whether it works or not. but movie has already been approved by russia making it the 1st covert vaccine in the world to get registered it's currently a face 3 of clinical trials which began over to woo. weeks ago more than 3 and a half 1000 volunteers have so far received the job the 40000 expected to take part western countries the media outlets have scoffed at the early approval of the russian made vaccine yet they seem somewhat less concerned by the haste with which their own drug firms are seeking to get their vaccines to market the parties 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
6:16 am
state of his developments is being questions proving 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 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. is a good reason. for that it would be seen to be believed. to be. pretty definitive. there is no reason that i see to be skeptical and the west big pharma is rushing to get
6:17 am
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 illegally cannot go to money to america. elections while american pharmaceutical companies donated millions to american elections of course think they're going to be done to favor american pharmaceutical companies those people while auctions in america the only way to get politics out of medicine is to get
6:18 am
government out of medicine and americans if an american patient wants to buy a vaccine from an american company bet 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 one politics and profits get involved it's not always easy to remember who would needs to benefit from the serum in the 1st place. aid agencies warn the refugees over especially at risk because the 2nd wave of the pandemic breaks around the globe thoughts for a short break. the

new york's attorney general says that the police should abandon their policy of traffic stops with james argues that too often they result in violence she cited the case of alan philly's who was shot dead when things 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 activity. but to come video shows the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of philly's last october you've been pulled over on
6:21 am
suspicion of driving without a seat belt handed over his brother's driving license and an id check revealed 3 open for low level offenses officers tried to arrest mr police a struggle ensued and stun guns were used and the car began to move off one of the policeman shot mr foley's related to the hospital. the policeman who fired that shot claimed he feared his colleagues lives were in danger when the car started to move mr police his family lawyer dismissed but all the family has demanded the office is a sacked investigation ruled no crime had been committed by the police but expressed concern over the handling of the incident its only 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 got opposing views to 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
6:22 am
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 jeems 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 why. people are shot and killed by the police but as a per capita as
6:23 am
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 the 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 stops 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 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
6:24 am
people who have guns to take care of nonviolent offenses. the 2nd wave of the pandemic breaking around the world international humanitarian agencies all warning of the dangers this poses for refugees ruth hetherington from the international committee of the red cross explains why displaced people are especially vulnerable. in many camps they are living in incredibly crowded tents 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 most of all time so they've lost their has not just once but that many times over average takes such a toll. aid agencies efforts to draw attention to the border refugees is being hindered by a group protests in europe where people are fed up it seems with hosting ever more newcomers in the u.k. there were clashes with police at one protest and in greece which is bearing the

brunt of margaret arrivals tensions are particularly high. the give up like isa not stopping no nation including the british government doing anything to make these people go back to their own home we were all whole town plane crash now because these people need to start to feel that i'm crazy and not know how many years now many of us we're here to send a message to the greek government it cannot betray national issues it cannot turn our greek people into a minority in greece we fight against islam and illegal immigration and defend our national sovereignty. ruth hetherington again says that if people understood the heartbreaking stories of some of the refugees then they would 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 coronavirus 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 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 amazing example of the many layers that displaced people are coping. thanks for joining us here on r.t. international updates coming your way at half an hour. simply find fugitives of nuclear energy saying. it's one of the he does.
