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 as a bridge on a 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 courteous and certain cities and us of a jot amenia has also mobilized putting it militarily calling on its conscripts to step up and. this latest sort of these rig military what was a long standing conflict already tell us more about the background to this well this conflict has roots dating back over
11:06 am
a century as muslims and christians can. 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 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.
11:07 am
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 a really differing 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 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
11:08 am
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 tarty 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 with many hoping that we won't see a return to those bloodiest days the director of the crisis research institute mark almond does believe that public sentiment within both countries could have played a part in the sudden outbreak of still ities. 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
11:09 am
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 of who attacking the president earlier for not being robust enough and on the other side in armenia the prime minister. knows to talk to power by 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 with us 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 are eyeing each other aggressively. another nice tonight the coronavirus seems to be tightening its grip on europe with
11:10 am
numerous countries now reporting record numbers of daily infections is seen a return to restrict sions and other measures designed to stop the spread with more details is shot at the big. 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 a 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 it let's have a look now at some of the latest figures for covert 1000 here in france in the 24
11:11 am
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
11:12 am
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 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
11:13 am
of course extended its many lock down on friday 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 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 so 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 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
11:14 am
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. there. 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 all made to stymie the transmission of the virus charlotte n.c.
11:15 am
there with infectious disease expert sean pore star believes another full blown lockdown won't be an effective solution. it's just me isolating and avoiding the transmission of virus by avoiding contact between people is the medical position then there's the economic position is countries are free to continue living their lives the balance between both is hard to achieve i believe that the absence of a total lockdown fits this decision is not perfect for everyone be those on the medical or economic extremes it's a difficult balance there's no need for another lockdown if people observed distancing measures if we were masked when there is a risk of infection there is no need to reintroduce a lockdown this is a last resort in case the population fails to comply with the measures in place but with global hopes of ending the covert crisis or resting it seems on effective vaccines russia's own job is now in its advanced stage 3 trials among those taking
11:16 am
it to our staff from r.t. arabic and spanish champs. that's easy to many try to dissuade me he said in a bit snarky worth getting vaccinated is the risks are too high however for me the pros and cons talk 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 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 thrown of virus antibodies will arise through the vaccine and only in this way will we be able to overcome a coronavirus. of easy. it
11:17 am
is necessary that there are people who conduct such experiments analysis so they will move forward towards obtaining that exclude those who would be the most reliable for. misleading 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 tours. 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. while russia became the 1st in the world to approve its job even before the key
11:18 am
stage 3 mass trials had begun that led to accusations that corners had been cut however the countries around the world have also taken off the brakes when it comes to developing a potential cure one 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 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 phase 3 testing doesn't fall 40000 volunteers and those who have already taken part have
11:19 am
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 more negative media reaction to that especially in comparison to the onslaught that
11:20 am
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 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 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
11:21 am
politics and profits get involved it's not always easy to remember who needs to benefit from the serum in the 1st place. in advance propaganda infrastructure to zine to promote support for the syrian opposition was allegedly created with the help of u.k. government contract is at least that's the claim this been made following a huge leak of secret documents you prefer. 2 blog posts with an impressively long list of links we cannot confirm the documents are real but i know most is confident they've exposed how british taxpayers cash was being splashed on dirty schemes for regime change in syria only small particles of information about covert operations of british intelligence in syria have leaked into the media until today we have everything from criminal programs and tenders to bitters complete proposals so the leaks point to 10 programs or projects all logically put together inside
11:22 am
government offices in london all united by a mission to nurture a trained and equipped moderate opposition with a polished image capable of overthrowing bashar al assad nothing to do with the terrorists under each program come bettors and documents supposedly describing how they planned to do the job fascinating stuff there from military training camps to diagrams outlining the structure of the desired post assad government plus you'll be amazed by the extent of the alleged p.r. effort check out this bitch the reason i am an urgent need to provide a counterbalance to the regime's narrative to build trust and confidence in the supreme military council and the free syrian army within syria and among the international community remember how at one point in the civil war the anti sat f.s.a. clearly won the media attention pedestal the bike is trying to free syria from the grip of us soldiers pledged to defend the syrian people against the assad regime
11:23 am
poorly armed exhausted but i'm bowed some of these men have spent more than a year on the run from the syrian regime sophisticated and ruthless security forces we cannot say if that was somehow thanks to what the bidders were up to but a number of projects claim to have been launched by the u.k. foreign office were purely about information war. dubai based a r k f c which among others lists the state department and the european commission as its clients sought a contract with all such programs the firm claims to be pretty much unmatched when it comes towards propaganda resources connections with the most influential networks piece of cake a.r.k has provided regular branded and unbranded content to key syria focused satellite t.v. channels such as al jazeera our a beer b.b.c. arabic aryans t.v.
11:24 am
aleppo today syria our god and syria shaab since 2012 a mission to turn a group that was once caught staging a rescue operation into international social media darlings done the white helmets are world famous ok created and continues to run a twitter feed and they facebook page on behalf of the syrian civil defense teams posting photos and updates of their activities in english throughout the day bring up a battalion of activists turned reporters to deliver the right message roger that. more than 150 activists have been trained and equipped by ok on topics from the basics of camera handling lighting and sound to producing reports journalistic safety online security and ethical reporting a.r.k which boasted a wide presidents in all 14 of syria's regions wasn't the only p.r. prodigy listed the leaked docs show that virtually every aspect of the syrian

opposition was cultivated and marketed by western government backed firms from political narratives to branding from what they said to where they said it but it's all hard to believe right london and its allies would never stoop so low. your sony general says the police in the city should abandon their policy of traffic stops patisserie james argues that they all too often the result in violence and he does highlight the case of them feel is he was shot dead when things escalated following a routine stop well colonel charges were not warranted were really concerned by some of the actions of the responding officers and issued a number recommendations that the n.y.p.d. should take into account including removing officers from in gaijin in any type of routine traffic enforcement activity. video to show the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of police last october he'd been pulled over on suspicion of driving
11:26 am
without a seat belt he handed over his brother's driving license and an id check revealed 3 open warrants for low level offenses officers then tried to arrest mr police a struggle ensued and stun guns were used but when the car lunged forward one of the policeman shot mr foley's who died later in hospital the policeman who fired the shot claimed he feared his colleagues lives were in danger when the car started to move mr fleeces family lawyer dismissed that while the family has demanded that the officers involved are sacked an investigation ruled no crime had been committed by police but expressed concern over their handling of the incident between the general's office recommended either police to stop routine traffic enforcement altogether or drop the policy of arresting people for minor offenses revealed during the 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
11:27 am
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
11:28 am
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 and 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 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
11:29 am
people who have guns to take care of nonviolent offenses. now brings you up to date that's how things are looking say far today here in r.t. but i think you can also keep yourself updated using our social media pages and you can. simply find use of nuclear india. i wish that don't go on developing oh we've always kept our city high performance technologies so good to have a very sorry happy anniversary and ok i hope you will. feel the full fusion power capacity. simply fine use of nuclear indeed.
