4:01 pm
live from our international news center in moscow this is art see wherever you're joining us from this hour hello and welcome. decades old territorial dispute between armenia and azerbaijan has flared up again in the nagorno-karabakh border 1st erupted on sunday morning with military clashes reportedly killing more than 50.
4:02 pm
well let's cross live now to our correspondents down off he is in the self-proclaimed republic of nagorno-karabakh. speaking to us from istanbul 1st to you can you tell us more about the situation on the ground there. you go where you can hear me ok. ok we're going to miss you would be chorus connection there murat as we say speaking to us from turkey's biggest city you were supposed to be from. azerbaijan murat's why is the bill. with gaining entry to i was there by john.
4:03 pm
right you can go ahead. right as well there's been a problem with gaining entry to as it were john we've made repeated requests to the authorities that the government in azerbaijan to grant us access entry to the country to cover the conflict unfortunately these requests of so far been ignored there hasn't been 2 a response whatsoever we've heard of in direct you to sort of excuses about what are the mergence of that has been declared in azerbaijan about the lack of flights to as it by john for journalists which doesn't seem to stand on its own because there are flights from here from istanbul to azerbaijan and so far we've only seen media as their buddy media and turkish media report from the front lines from the as a budge on the side there is a sense among many international journalists that as about john is keeping journalists out and this is the job contrast to to what armenia is doing and
4:04 pm
armenia is not only allowing journalists easy access to go to the car about facilitating access they're also encouraging journalists to come and report and show what is happening nevertheless there may be a change in policy from the zip by johnnie side perhaps they've been dated with requests and we may see a reversal a reversal it we're hoping for to be able to gain entry and gain a permit accreditation to work in azerbaijan otherwise there has been another day of escalation many more dead reported on both sides the latest as ever john has released a new video showing many soldiers of the god knickerbocker and armenian apparently armenian soldiers killed in the action the day's action there we will succeed of course many videos and photos and 'd footage of vid destroyed vehicles and destroyed tags really does seem like
4:05 pm
a. this escalation and we've got to say now it is very difficult at this stage to verify any of these videos been reports of old videos being posted many many fake news stories as well nevertheless there has been a growing chorus an international chorus cooling of both sides a diplomatic chorus to cease hostilities of her station of hostilities for a cease fire immediate cease fire to be implemented this is not a time for war the international community is resoundingly say from from the u.n. which is called for an immediate halt to violence from the european union for the united states russia iran and neighboring iran has come out and said this is no good that both sides should stop and dialogue is the only option noticeably missing from from this this huge chorus is turkey where we are now president edouard has taken a very hard blood on the conflict and he has thrown is support in behind the as
4:06 pm
that of a johnny side. and once again condemn a media who attacked the soil on sunday turkey will continue to stand boys friend and brother announced by all means and with all its heart it is time to bring an end to the regional crisis started with the occupation of new goanna karabakh when some media immediately leaves the territory it is occupying the region will return to peace and harmony. the president a visit about john leave has said that the only way forward is to ease by the 1993 u.n. resolution regarding the go in the car about which recognize many parts of it as occupied by media and forces an uneven said that there that is the only way for the armenian soldiers and they're going to care about the breakaway states forces to to withdraw and to give up control over the area to to is there by john this is
4:07 pm
an ancient conflict there has been much blood spilled in this in these war and then in the flare ups that followed the not going to kind of buffer war i was there in 2016 when there was another flare up another as collation of the hostilities fortunately it's ended in a matter of days but but it was again brutal judging by what i've seen so far the footage of being seen the casualty lists reported by both sides this is even worse than what happened when we were there in 2016.
4:08 pm
as i say an international chorus calling for a cessation of hostilities between armenia between now got to cut about had between i said about john saying that this is not a time for war and that nothing is going to be resolved with combat and with warfare we're also still trying to gain access to i said by god many journalists from around the world have reported that they have been unable to to visit the front lines and see what is happening from the perspective of the as their bikes are to start right thanks very much for that we've been battling a bad connection with igor as we said before you go down a prison the self-proclaimed republic of nagorno karabakh he can't speak to assess
4:09 pm
after a month we just can't keep him in envision there we will try and get a connection though just to hear what the situation is essentially in the epicenter of there by the way director of the crisis research institute among the reaction we have been getting mark alman believes public sentiment within both countries could have played a part in the sudden i predict of hostilities. 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 now support john 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 interest remember in the renewal of the conflict back in july when it 1st and again the big demonstrations have. been robust enough and on the other side the new
4:10 pm
prime minister of russia now knows who to call to harbor the street to use it and if you see not to be robust sticking up from you interests you can place protests too so we have a problem that it's not simply politicians playing power games with what's going on of course but it's also got there is an animosity. between 2 groups christian armenians muslims are raised with this history of conflict which has left bitter and terrorism and large numbers of displaced people living relatively close to where they lived before the fighting began 30 years ago and still are in each other aggressively. the coronavirus seems to be tightening its grip on europe with numerous countries now reporting record numbers of delia infections restrictions and other measures designed to stop the spread return to with more in the tear charlotte devinsky well there's a warning that france faces months of 19 problems that's because the
4:11 pm
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 france will face a widespread outbreak across its whole territory for several autumn and winter months while his main concern is about the ability of medical staff to deal with this because he says they're exhausted and there are not enough staff to plug any gaps 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 rench that new cases in the last week around 4000 people were quite 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
4:12 pm
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 los a which saw new descriptions coming over the weekend many restaurant cafe owners and bar owners say that they've just had enough we don't know where they find their statistics in the end it is a bit unclear we don't know if they're supposed to close tonight also we don't understand anything in these accusations against restaurant owners that have just gone it's made big sacrifices everything they needed to do. i'm going to stay
4:13 pm
open i have the keys to my business it's mine i paid for it as i said just far from this guy it's my life so even now they're just taking it so i'm going to stay all going to have 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's spain where there is also a heightened concern. teen woodridge of course extended its many look 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 weeds are headed and what must be done is to concentrate everyone's severance just to protect
4:14 pm
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 did once before and all efforts need to know you concentrated on that humans we need to listen to science you can listen to the experts know most of the areas under restriction around the madrid and it so . burbs are poorer 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 are now under lockdown and there have been protests held in london over the weekend against the co-create 19 restrictions clashes between the police and protesters with the police having to use battens to control the crowds. i
4:15 pm
was i. i. i. all of this comes as the world health organization is predicting that deaths from covert going to 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. a troll leaked documents appear to show the contractors allegedly u.k. government were behind a massive propaganda effort in support of syria's opposition we've got that story for you and more.
4:16 pm
4:17 pm
dares thinks. we dare to ask. hello again with global hopes of ending the cold the crisis essentially resting on effective vaccines russia's own job is known to advanced stage 3 trials among those taking part or stuff from artie's are back on spanish channels. that's easy to many try to dissuade me he said and it's not been worth getting vaccinated if the risks are too high however for me the pros outweigh the cons here
4:18 pm
people say that you shouldn't be deferred just wait for the facts seem to be coming reliable i considered all the possible scenarios that may occur after having the fix soon but decided to take part in its trial. 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 only in this way will we be able to overcome a corona virus. there it is necessary that there are people who conduct such experiments analysis so that we have moved forward towards updating the fixing would be the most reliable form. obviously going forward is to take
4:19 pm
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 tool but. i feel like 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. russia was the 1st nation in the world to approve its job ahead of the start of stage 3 trials led to accusations corners being cut a charge not leveled up the other countries around the world speeding ahead in their quest to develop a potential cure so why not double quarter looks at the other aspect. 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.
4:20 pm
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 in a bag seen that has not been trying to a vaccine that has not been tested outside of russia america's top researchers say russia's cutting corners to develop its corona virus vaccine 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 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
4:21 pm
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 illegally cannot build a money to america. elections while american pharmaceutical companies donated millions to american elections of course they're going to be done to favor american
4:22 pm
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 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 this serum in the 1st place. propaganda infrastructure designed to promote support for the syrian opposition was allegedly created with the help of u.k. government contractors that is the claim being made following
4:23 pm
a huge leak of secret documents obtained published by the activist group anonymous taking up the story this hour are teasingly up a train go. to blog posts with an impressively long list of links we cannot confirm the documents are real but i'm on a 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 bidders 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 would. a polished image capable of overthrowing bashar al assad nothing to do with the terrorists under each program
4:24 pm
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 there is now 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. soldiers pledged to defend the syrian people against the assad regime are poorly armed exhausted but i'm bout some of these men have spent more than a year on the run from the syrian regime sophisticated and ruthless security forces
4:25 pm
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 wars 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's claims to be pretty much unmatched when it comes to its 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 to 0 hour a beer b.b.c. arabic aryans t.v. aleppo today syria god and syria shot up since 2012 a mission to turn a group. that was once caught staging a rescue operation into international social media darlings don the white helmets
4:26 pm
are world famous 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 and 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
4:27 pm
