energy needs and. their share in the technology around the world seem to find new communities. armenia and azerbaijan both. as a decades old territorial conflict between them and flares up again the country's leader is laying the blame at each other. also this hour now it's a scramble to sparring with 19 infection rates the return of tougher restrictions. i. just all it's mind lifesaving and now they're just taking it so i'm going to get in and employees that are spanish naughty arabic become the 1st foreigners to test brushes and jab the vaccine currently in the 3rd phase of trials plus. just cities police to give

up on traffic enforcement the radical move will help reduce fatalities during arrests proposal has sparked a mixed reaction you do not need police officers to respond to nonviolent acts at least not police who decide what level of force are going to be used the suspect and we are forced to respond. well i welcome this just turn for scotland watching on its heels a national now a decades old territorial dispute between armenia and azerbaijan has flared up again as hostilities resume on the nagorno-karabakh border violence 1st erupted on sunday morning with military actions reportedly killing over 50 pay paul.

thank. you r.t. correspondent saskia tyler discussed the situation with lee harvey. this is a conflict that has flared up 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 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 the media as a break john hughes in charge of initiating these deadly clashes which violate

a $994.00 truce both alleged to have 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 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 armenia 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 worsen ng is the introduction of martial law and both countries and courteous and certain cities and us of h.r. amenia has also mobilize for the militarily calling on its conscripts to step up and sob and this latest oh so these rig 90 what was a long standing conflict already tell us more about the background to this well this conflict has roots dating back over a century as muslims and christians can. in the area now the new going to care about 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 a look back at its troubled history.

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 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 to really differing up perceptions of how the future of iraq will look the 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 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 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 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 war like rhetoric the ongoing military activity it is alarming

and with many hoping that we won't see a return to those bloodiest day if. we discuss this to you with mark almontaser of the crisis research institute and to tell us that the current escalation could also be a result of public pressure in both countries. well one big problem here is that on both sides popular opinion is highly mobile and so you have a situation that you have approximately a 1000000 people in azerbaijan who are refugees from armenia you have 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 interest remember in the renewal of the conflict back in july when it burst out again there were big demonstrations and by who attacking the president earlier for not being robust enough and on the other side in armenia the prime minister. knows who to call to power the street 2 years ago and if you see not to be robust sticking up from your interests he can place protests too so we have

a problem that it's not simply politicians playing power games of outs 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. now the coronavirus seems to be tightening its grip on europe at the moment with numerous countries now reporting record numbers of daily infections it's seen a return to of restrictions and other measures designed to stop the spread but more details his shot at the bin school. 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 will for you so widespread outbreak across his 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 let's have a look now at some of the latest figures for kobe 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 protest saying it's devastating their economy and that was also the case down in mass a which saw new strictures 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 tomorrow we don't understand anything in these accusations against 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 to 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 spain where there is also a heightened concern. teen madrid of course extended its many lockdown freud 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 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 all efforts 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 the suburbs are poor areas and that has led to a lot of anger there people describing what's happening as being quasi can find 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 co-creator 19 restrictions clashes between the police and protesters with the police having to use battens to control the crowds. was. it. without.

was. was. thanks to 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 charted been ski there with global hopes of ending the coby crisis or resting on effective vaccines russia's own job is now we need to advance stage 3 trials among those taking it to our staff from our sister channels r.t. arabic and r.t. spanish. that's the easy answer many try to dissuade me the saturday looks not been worth

getting vaccinated is the risks are too high however for me the pros and cons here people say that you should be defers to wait for the 16 to become a reliable i considered all the possible scenarios that may occur after having the vaccine but decided to take part in its trial. and. i decided to get vaccinated because i see that the world has changed after the war on the virus antibodies will arise through the vaccine and all 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 then ourselves 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 a test the vaccine to make sure it's effective tool but. i fear 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. well russia became the 1st in the world to approve its job before the case stage 3 mass trials had ever even begun and that did lead to accusations that corners had been cut however other countries around the world have also taken the brakes when it comes to developing a potential game changing cure don't quarter as more. 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 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. 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 and various different ways and we need to get the politics out of medicine russian pharmaceutical companies legally cannot go to money to america. elections while american

pharmaceutical companies donated millions to american elections of course were 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 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. meanwhile aid agencies are warning that refugees are especially at risk as the 2nd wave off the pandemic writes around the

world will have the details of the stories to. the world is driven by a dream shaped. thinks . we dare to ask. the election only weeks away the trying to diminish ration continues sanctions maybe an. against cuba venezuela is there explain how this advances the national

interest also no matter who's in the white house the form follows is determined to continue to avenge its defeat in. welcome back now new york's attorney general says police in the city should abandon their policy of traffic stops because. they all too often result in violence and she highlights saying the case of alan philly's who was shot dead and 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 extended. but you can video to show the moment leading up to the fatal shooting of police last october it being pulled over on suspicion of driving without a seat belt and then handed over his brother's driving license and an id check revealed 3 open warrants for low level offenses officers tried to arrest mr police a struggle ensued and stun guns were then you see when the car started started to lunge forward and one of the policemen short list of police who died later in hospital for the policeman who fired the shot plain t. feared his colleagues lives were in danger when the car started moving mr felice's family lawyer dismissed that though while the families demanded that the officers involved a sect investigation ruled no crime had been committed by police but expressed concern over their handling of the incident the attorney general's office

recommended the the police stop routine traffic enforcement altogether or drop the policy by arresting people for minor offenses revealed during traffic stops we put the issue up for debate. 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 and 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. with the coronavirus still smothering parts of the world aid agencies are warning of the risk that it does pose to refugees ruth hetherington from the international committee of the red cross explains why displaced people 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 us the conditions they live in and the hardship they have seen many people in the region have been displaced most at all times so they've lost their house not just once but but many times over it which takes such

a toll agencies to say their efforts to draw attention to the part of refugees are being wounded by anti migrant protests in europe in the u.k. there were clashes with police at one protest while increase which is bearing the brunt of migrant arrivals tensions are particularly high. it looks like here in the east not to speak of the no nation including the british government doing anything to make these people go back to their own home we were all pulled out thank for ourselves these people need to start to feel that i don't have crazy and not know how many years i have been paid if 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 over it hetherington does believe if people

actually 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 the us 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 and. so that brings you up to date so far the soft things are looking don't forget there are always plenty of stories on our website that are to know.
