7:01 am
traffic enforcement a radical move its kind will help reduce fatalities during the rest of the sparked a mixed reaction. we do not need police officers to respond to nonviolent it's not police who decide what level of force are going to be used the suspect this size and we are forced to respond. good afternoon welcome just gone to a club here scary with r.t. international now a decades old territorial dispute between armenia and azerbaijan has flared up again as hostilities resume on the new gorno border violence erupted on sunday morning and both countries of magic led martial law. thank us.
7:02 am
thank us. whether you are correspondents ask tyler discussed situation with neil harvey. this is a conflict that has flared off and gone through parents of love 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 31 people including civilians have been killed in the new region that happened on sunday but the military activity continued through the night and is still ongoing monday how we got to the stage is
7:03 am
not entirely clear because there are such conflicting versions both on media as a breach on a child of an issue is 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 lead 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 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
7:04 am
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 worsening is the introduction of martial law and both countries and cut his insults and cities and us of a jot amenia has also mobilize for the militarily calling on its conscripts to step up and saw of this latest oh so these rigged 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 new going to 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 ethnically armenian population and they chose to secede in the ninety's but internationally it is still recognized as part of john well let's take
7:05 am
7:06 am
a page on the president says he's confident that this enclave will be fully retired as of a 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 the countries were involved in brokering a peace when there 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 us or coach at the minutes group and if i. 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 offensive spoke out expressing sadness and turkey has thrown that support behind us of a jan you know the true signed between these 2 countries has always been pretty
7:07 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. ok let's bring in mark almond he's the director of the crisis research institute very welcome good afternoon to you mark a lot of tension on both sides here with both countries declaring martial law what are the chances do you think that this could explode into something a lot more deadly even a full blown conflict. well one big problem here is that on both sides popular opinion is highly mobilized and so you have a situation that you have approximately a 1000000 people in azerbaijan who are refugees from armenia hundreds of thousands of people in armenia who fled from azerbaijan and so we have a situation where there's pressure from the public for standing up for the national
7:08 am
interest remember in the renewal of the conflict back in july when it burst out again there were big demonstrations in who attacking president earlier for not being robust enough and on the other side in armenia the prime minister knows that he was brought to power by the street 2 years ago and if he seemed not to be robust and sticking up for armenian interests he could face protests too so we have a problem that it's not simply politicians playing power games over it's going on of course but it's also that there is a an animosity between 2 groups of christian armenians muslims or is with this history of conflict which has left bitter attacking islam and large numbers of displaced people living relatively close to where they lived before the fighting began 30 years ago and still if you like i mean each other. i mean live all that said the international community largely speaking has come back and said look the needs to be these hostilities need to say some people need to get back to negotiations will that have an impact do you think. it's possible that they will
7:09 am
calm down the politicians each side faces the problem of that it would be economically terribly badly hit by a long conflict and can't really afford it even has a budget has all and gas its ability to export those will be much reduced it was conflict with armenia the problem is that. it's a game where you have players like iran and turkey russia of the western states like america and france who have their own geopolitical interests in rivalries too so whereas russia for instance has an interest in keeping the peace because it has relatively good relations with the us by john very close relations with armenia it has a lot of as there is no armenians living in russia it has no real interest in a conflict that could be to very destabilizing its territory to their other countries that perhaps think that they can play one upmanship we've seen turkey being very robust a very aggressive in speeches about even providing weapons to azerbaijan iran this morning has warned us about john about the risk of the conflict spreading over its
7:10 am
border because apparently some shoals of fall in iranian territory so it could spiral out of control and then you could say with the american presidential election other issues occupying the minds of europeans too and they're a long way away the capacity of these states to moderate the situation is very limited ok mark believe it there could see you or have you on the softer name that was mark armand director of the crisis research institute thank you thank you. i countries across europe are seeing a resurgence of 19 with record numbers of daily cases some have resorted to reimposing lot dance and other restrictions in the worst affected areas artie's europe correspondent charlotte n.c. 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
7:11 am
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 will for you so 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
7:12 am
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 protest 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 or tomorrow 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
7:13 am
all going to have the keys and i don't want to this business now the majority of people in france do you 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 woodridge 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 we're sorting out of 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 about it to dimia logical battle against a virus and we know how to do this because we didn't once before in all efforts
7:14 am
need to know you concentrated on that he was we need to listen to science 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 class can find mint now let's move to the u.k. where in some parts of the country up to a 3rd of areas and 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. was. thanks. to our
7:15 am
thanks. was. thanks to all of this comes as the world health organization is predicting that deaths from covert growing 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 shot at the pinsky there was countries do 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 participating with staff now at r.t. arabic and r.t. spanish becoming the 1st foreigners in russia to receive the job.
7:16 am
that's easy to many try to dissuade me they said remember it's not been worth getting vaccinated if the risks are too high however for me the pros and cons 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 in the 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 only in this way will we be able to overcome a corona virus or. 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
7:17 am
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 a test the vaccine to make sure it's effective tool box. 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. that. well sputnik 3 has already been approved by russia making it the 1st covert vaccine in the world to get registered is currently in phase 3 of the clinical trials which began over 2 week. to go more than 3 and a half 1000 volunteers have so far received the job with over over 40000 expected
7:18 am
to take part western countries in the media outlets though have scoffed at the early approval of the russian made vaccine yet they seem less concerned by the haste with which their own drug firms are seeking to get their vaccines to market that are sees don't 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 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
7:19 am
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. 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 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
7:20 am
more negative media reaction to that especially in comparison to the onslaught that russia received over sputnik the it's always been politicized and various different ways and we need to get the politics out of medicine russian pharmaceutical companies illegally cannot go to money to america. elections where 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
7:21 am
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. now a day he sees warning that refugees are especially at risk is the 2nd wife of the pandemic breaks around the world that's mung the story succumb that what happened just off the bridge. when almost seemed wrong. why don't we just don't hold. me. yet to shape out to stay active. and engaged with equals betrayal. when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground . the world is

policy of traffic stops but he should use argues that too often they do result in volumes and she cites to the case of families who was shot dead when things escalated following a routine stop while colonel charges were not warranted or green we can stand 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 invasion in any type of pre-teen traffic enforcement activity. body cam video shows the moments leading up to the shooting the fatal shooting of police last october he'd been pulled over on suspicion of driving without a seat belt in candide over his brother's driving license and an id check revealed 3 open warrants for low level offenses officers then tried to arrest mr foley's a struggle ensued and stun guns were used in a car started to move off when the policeman shot missed the police who later died in hospital for the policeman who fired the shot claimed that he feared his
7:24 am
colleagues lives were in danger when the car started to move mr felice's family lawyer dismissed that though while the family has demanded the officers are sacked an investigation ruled no crime had been committed by the police but expressed concern over the handling of the incident the attorney general's office recommended either 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 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
7:25 am
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 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 and and unnecessary and irresponsible use of guns by police officers this is a narrative that the police are starting to violence is
7:26 am
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. 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. with the 2nd wave of the pandemic pandemic breaking around the world international humanitarian agencies are warning of the dangers this does pose for refugees ruth hetherington from the international committee of the red cross explains why displaced people are
7:27 am
especially vulnerable in many camps they are living in incredibly crowded tents they already are exposed to try make health problems in many cases just a virtue 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 house not just once but but many times over it which takes such a toll when i had a chance he's efforts are for attention to the plight of refugees is being hindered by anti migrant protests in europe where people are fed up with hosting them or newcomers in the u.k. there were clashes with police at one protest one increase which is bearing the brunt of migrant arrivals at the moment tensions are particularly high but. it looks like it's not just the no nation including the british government doing anything to make these people go back to their own home we were all pulled out
7:28 am
plane crash so 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 is ation and illegal immigration and defend our national sovereignty. we've had written again says of people though understood the heartbreaking stories of some refugees 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 us a syrian refugee and she had actually lost her daughter in the war in syria come to
7:29 am
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 with. just coming up to half past 2 in the afternoon here in moscow that brings you up to date for now her back again about 30. 5000 you can even do. that on the multi i'm booked on this is a very important year for the russian nuclear industry during the simply 5 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
7:30 am
wellbeing of the population who need. them to 5 days of need clear and. it was a very nice show for us from president putin and i could have said no thank you or i could have said thank you and i said i'll take it and now it's time to introduce my it's not special mr donald trump thank you susan very much was being paid for making.
