physics and beyond and certainly would like to wish all the best to us at home for future brilliant accomplishments incentive because it simply 5 years of nuclear induced. decades old territorial conflicts burst back into life between armenia and azerbaijan with both sides blaming each other. also to come this hour in r.t. it's not just with infection rates that are rising again in europe anger is on the up as well people are grateful to see the return of prescriptions. i these accusations against restaurant owners have to stall it's my life's leaving and now they're just taking it so i'm going just to get it and stuff marty spanish and arabic channels become the 1st foreigners to test russia's new anti-gay jab at us the vaccine undergoes advanced stage 3 testing plus new york's attorney general

urges the city's police to abandon the policy of routine traffic stops stops amid concerns many do spiral into violence but there's been a mixed response to the proposal. you do not need police officers to respond to nonviolent activities not police who decide what level of force are going to be used the suspect decides and we are forced to respond. oh good evening you're watching r.t. international now a decades old territorial dispute between armenia and azerbaijan has flared up again on the nagorno-karabakh border 1st erupted on sunday morning with military clashes reportedly killing more than 50 people.

what a journalist for the agency in azerbaijan and also our. who is currently nominee a report nyholm the situation in the 2 countries. mania the health care system is bracing itself clearly bracing itself because right now hospitals have soaps admitting new patients and they have been focusing as they are focusing on treating those wounded in this conflict now armenia has also declared mass mobilization and thousands of men have already volunteered saying that they are ready and willing to go fight in this disputed region now johnny forces during the 1st night of clashes

they managed to capture several villages from the mcgauran a karabakh defense troops and the military top brass of this disputed region has already vowed to take back these villages and if there's a lot of it about job it is conception azerbaijan's ministry of defense regularly reports the shelling of their positions and territories from the armenian side connor offensive operations have led to the liberation of several settlements to the south as well as a range of strategic positions to the north the defense ministry also reports losses among the enemies personnel and military equipment official see that there is or by john army is ensuring the security of its sovereign territories the escalation has led to deaths and injuries both military and civilian speaking about the perception of the population as are by journey citizens and reacted down things yeah stickley to the news of the army's successes. or so i discuss the escalating

situation with neil harvey. this is a conflict that has flared up and gone through parents of law 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. as a breach on a child of a 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 out 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 but you'll have to stick to tauriel regime has resumed hostilities 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 meaning of 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 curfews in certain cities and us of a jot amenia has also mobilize for the militarily calling on its conscripts to step up and side of 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 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 back 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 we 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 johnny president says he's confident that this and playful 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 a really differing up perceptions of how the future of iraq will look like countries were involved in brokering a peace when there were hostilities in the past what's the international reaction but on this occasion what over the years there have been numerous attempts to stabilize the situation to that end 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 in the un and nato forces spoke out expressing his side and tatty has thrown its support behind as i think it's a true sign for tweenies the 2 countries has always been pretty shaky of 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 well let's talk a bit further about all of this with the independent journalist martin summers he joins us this evening good evening to you martin thanks for coming on. here it is this sudden escalation because we've as we've heard in the past there have been plenty of clashes between the sides before is there any reason we should be more concerned than. well clearly something quite serious is going on this isn't just

a few snipers it's so that you know both sides of the rhetoric is pretty pretty are . bloodcurdling and of course we're in a situation where the general geopolitical situation is very tense so as you say the russians the french the u.s. are calling for mercy's firing mediation but turkey is basically backing azerbaijan. which is potentially you know the turkish lira has taken a hit as a result of this because the markets think that it could lead to a wider war and as has the russian ruble been affected by it so i think what makes this different from previous conflicts i mean this has been a frozen conflicts for many years is that is the wider geo political situation because both turkey turkey is accusing the armenians of having a kurdish fighters inside the the old clave and the ill medians are

accusing the see. jihadists of fighting on the side of the azeris so i don't i don't know what kind of credibility to give these kind of allegations but it just shows the potential wider implications of what is a local dispute which has been you know not resolved for many years in a lot of countries have said that both sides need to sit down and talk what are the chances of actually happening. well it doesn't sound from the rhetoric that's coming out of either side that either side a particularly king to talk and you know this would be a problematic conflict even without outside forces potentially being drawn in on both sides so it is worrying because you know it's there's a sort of arc of instability that runs from the middle east through the caucuses into you know central asia where the potential for conflict spreading from one

zone of conflicts and beginning of the conflicts is always there so i think it's in the interests of everybody outside the the region to to calm things down if it's all possible i mean i notice people are saying like everybody needs to calm down until they're given the length of the conflict we're talking about is it a surprise that notion of credible peace plan is being put forward or talked about now. well a credible peace plan there are things which can be resolved by a peace plan where you say right we've all agreed it's all agreed it's all fixed it's all over a suppose a bit like northern ireland or south africa but what you have in this situation is a situation where nagorno-karabakh was effectively the independence of as a by john armenia obviously helped their fellow citizens as they saw as in

a goal of karabakh during the conflict in the ninety's that was the last time not visited amin otherly resisted wants. but the that that you know you as long as people are just satisfied with the situation you don't have to resolve everything but basically cease fires where you agree not to shoot each other or good in themselves even if you can't come to a final conclusion about who who gets what does of the pie as long as people aren't being killed and then that's that's good and you know for many years that has been the case here and certainly no longer the case sure i came to know we appreciate your insight on this tonight that was independent journalist martin summers thank you thank you. so the coronavirus seems to be tightening its grip on europe with numerous countries now reporting record numbers of daily infections it's seen a return to have restrictions and other measures designed to stop the spread with more details on this is charlotte the penske. 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 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 need it let's have a look now at some of the latest figures for codeine 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 mar say 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's even now they're just taking it so i'm going to stay all going because i 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 on friday but the spanish health minister says he wants even tighter restrictions. the situation in madrid is complicated with the serious risks tough we are sorting out of recession and what

must be done is to concentrate everyone severance to protect people's health trouble 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 humans 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 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 cope 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 fire us an infectious disease expert john paul style does believe that another full lockdown would not 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's no need to reintroduce a lockdown this is a last resort in case the population fails to comply with the measures in place now with global hopes of ending the covert crisis or resting it seems an effective vaccines russia's own jab is now in its advanced stage 3 trials and among those taking part are also stuff from r.t. arabic and spanish chaps. that's easy to many try to dissuade me he said remember it's 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 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. 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 these. it is necessary that there are people who conduct such experiments and then ourselves so that will move forward towards obtaining the fix soon that would be the most reliable for.

it. even for it is to take a pause in clinical trials which is important to us because this is the 1st vaccine you test the vaccine to make sure it's effective and if. i feel maybe i'm a little nervous about it or 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. by russia became the 1st in the world to a previous job even before the key stage 3 mass trials had begun and that did lead to accusations that corners had been cut however other countries around the world have also taken the brakes off when it comes to developing a potential cure one quarter. 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 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 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 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 where while american

pharmaceutical companies donated millions to american elections of course they're going to be done to favor american pharmaceutical companies those people byelection 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 found the propaganda infrastructure designed to promote support for the syrian opposition was allegedly created with

the help of u.k. government contractors at least that's the claim that's being made following a huge leak of secret documents they were obtained published by the activist group anonymous it has more. 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 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 plan 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 us that 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 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 was. 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 hour a beer b.b.c. arabic aryans t.v. 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 turn 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. york's attorney general says that police in the city should abandon their policy of traffic stops the tissue james argues that they all too often result in violence and she highlights to the case of alan philly's who was shot dead and 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 officer instructed gaijin in any type of routine traffic enforcement activity. or border cam video to show 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 he handed over his brother's driving license in the night he jacked checked did reveal 3 open warrants for low level offenses offices then tried to

arrest mr foley's a struggle ensued and stun guns reviews but when the car lunged forward one of the policeman shot mr police who died later in hospital the policeman who fired that shot did claim he feared his colleagues lives were in danger when the car started to move mr lisa's family lawyer dismissed that while the family has demanded the officers involved sacked an investigation more that no crime had been committed by police but expressed concern over their handling of the incident it only 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 put the issue up for debate. 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 james 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 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.
