that she clash between donald trump and joe biden descends into name calling and interruptions the standout moments of what's been described as a messy and chaotic 1st presidential debate coming up later this hour. here thanks for joining us this is. the u.n. security council is calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities between armenia and azerbaijan fighting between the 2 sides is now into its 4th day as the belligerents once again vie for control of the long disputed border region of nagorno-karabakh crews on the ground there for this exclusive video showing the wreckage of a drone shot down by the armenian army is the only media outlet that armine is

permitted to enter the complex. standoff since this report filmed with a night vision camera. right now we're between the positions of the armenian army which is over there and the there by joining forces which are stationed right over this hill and here is the debris of a massive unmanned drone that was shot down by the armenian air defense this is the main piece but not the only one in fact there's still a distinctive stench of burning up in the air which means it was shot down literally hours before we arrived here in fact where the 1st international news crew allowed here by the armenian forces the here is school and everybody has to walk over a huge like pieces of metal like this and well this marks yet another day of deadly clashes between armenia and the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh and as they are by john not by turkey in fact a meanie accused by john of attacking its soil today which means that probably conflict spilled over the borders of this disputed region but we're being told that

we have to hurry we have to rush it is not safe here so we have to wrap up i will be bringing you more of this as we go more of this as a stay here don of reporting from the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh r.t. . media have published a video allegedly of a drone attacking armenian soldiers comes armenia and azerbaijan both report increasing civilian and military casualties because there has more on the escalating situation. well the violence didn't stop with the onset of the night now what we're hearing is that about johnny forces claim that armenians shelled the civilian settlements over nice that they had been damage to civilian infrastructure civilian casualties a dubber of people wounded we also have heard as there by john claim to have destroyed an s 300 anti air defense missile complex that was stationed apparently

they say near the front lines that paranoid or of this coming just hours of the u.n. security council came out and condemned in strong words the violence they called it both sides did d.c.s. to deescalate and didn't negotiate with each other to start talking to each other unfortunately as they are by john and armine were also given a voice during the discussion the only thing that they agreed on is that they completely disagree with each other on forces who for me subjected to considerations of the armed forces who was of course you know along the front line and adjacent populated areas in my country to use an intensifier you know to repulse the aggression on forces to force as well john have under treat consolations in the exercise of the right of self-defense the businesses of majority statement to speak to conceal its responsibility who preplanned march to

move through aggression a greased people no good economy the aggression. you reference point the use of a journey. to milledge concert through deceptive while the has been an international outcry calling for both sides to pull back for a cease fire conditional cease fire to be put in place and nations have picked sides one of them of course is turkey which is backed as headed by john firmly we've heard. statements such as by john in turkey are one people living in 2 different states we will serve a senior turkish official come out and say that any meaning an attack on a and thereby johnny settlement outside the conflict zone should be and would be construed as an attack on turkish soil perhaps an invitation to get involved militarily. we stand by as equation on the field and on the table now we want to

solve this problem completely turkey's role in all of this has been a point of contention much debate in argument especially between armenia and azerbaijan we will of course heard yesterday that armenia cames turkish f. 16 fighter of shooting down one of its jets accusing turkish advisers of being in the field and directing is that about joining forces all of this i said about jollity self has denied. we have information that turkey is seeking a reason for a wider involvement in this conflict some look to have 16 jets have been taking part in the fighting it's easy to prove that it is just another provocation in the east through turkish warfare instructors and high ranking personnel are currently at command posts in azerbaijan turkey is also recruiting mercenaries in syria and taking them to azerbaijan to fight in a war against nagorno-karabakh and armenia turkey is giving us moral support and we

are grateful to the turkish government and turkish people for solidarity in standing by resigning there is no other role turkey's taking in the conflict the passions here are overwhelming and the fear is that things will spiral even further out of control than they already are the race is on according to many leaders in a bid to end this conflict and this conflict before it can get even worse and i got a car back is one of several border disputes that remain from the collapse of the soviet union the republic seceded from azerbaijan more than 30 years ago and declared itself independent but it is not widely recognized as being an independent state with more on the back story. a region nestled in the caucasus mountains caught between armenia and azerbaijan is now in the global spotlight how did new corner karabakh to get to this trouble point the disputed territory has

a rich history having lived under many rulers and kingdoms before seeing out the final days of the russian empire $917.00 came the empire collapsed $918.00 came as a beach on an armenia became independent historically armenian nagorno-karabakh were clear but azerbaijan tried again and again to take back control armenia and azerbaijan independence was short lived in 1920 they were incorporated into the soviet union. in a corner carpark wanted a referendum to join all media but joseph stalin had other plans based on the need for national peace between muslims and armenians and the economic ties of the upper and lower karabakh its permanent ties with as regime leave nagorno-karabakh within the as regime soviet socialist republic for more than 6 decades armenia tried to repeal the decision with no success then in the late eighty's the people of

nagorno-karabakh started their own campaign to unite with armenia after a vote they declared their allegiance to in 1988 which was rejected by both moscow and because. millions of protested in both countries buildings were torched businesses were attacked military conflict started in the disputed area but nothing changed moscow had made its decision 3 years later in 1901 the u.s.s.r. collapsed but still nothing changed. then started the bloodiest clash the region's ever seen in total an estimated $30000.00 were killed and $1000000.00 were displaced finally in 1994

a fraud charge russian troops came into effect. since then military clashes have periodic lee flared up and subsided international players regularly mediate but with armenia now considering recognizing nagorno-karabakh to independence and as a page on unwilling to even discuss it finding common ground is increasingly difficult historically when it comes to religion and ethnicity when 2 sides are so convinced of their right nurse when generations have been involved in the fight long lasting peace is allusive no doubt many are hoping nagorno-karabakh proves to be the exception. donald trump a job bought in exchanged insults to each other in the 1st presidential election

debate prior to november's vote was a touchy affair and it's been described as messy and chaotic. listen respectfully to each other's opinion i'm not here to call out his lies everybody knows he's a liar never use the word smart with me don't ever use that word to me because you know what it is nothing smart about you joe what do you shut out excuse mauresmo your number to know he's put his fucking i get my time back fewer interruptions i'm appealing to you sort of do to him to well frankly you've been doing more in a lot of the children but he does plenty well less than what he should shush from been allowed to do it all that i want in the last 25 years i because i wonder why does he do it because you are president sure things up you are a senator and the worst president is america is never. going to china. to get any word with this clown director said well then you know now that we're done we're done sir although the author had to struggle to get a word in edgeways he did manage to guide the debate on to

a number of pressing topics among them the pandemic the economy racism and police brutality. we should be providing all of the protective gear pos we should be providing the money the house has passed in order to be able to go out and get people the help they need to keep their businesses open open schools a cost a lot of money we got the gallons we get the masks we made the ventilators and now we're weeks away from a vaccine i've spoken to the companies and we can have it a lot sooner it's a very political thing because people like this would rather make it political than save lives mask make a big difference his own head of the c.d.c. said if we just wore a mask between now if there everybody were mass in social distance between now and january we'd probably save up to 100000 lives it matters he wants to shut down this country and i want to keep it open we've got to provide these businesses the ability to have the money to be able to reopen with the p p e as well as with the sanitation they need people want their schools open they

don't want to be shut down they don't want this state shutdown we can't fix the economy until you fix the code crisis. billionaires like him in the middle of covert crisis have done very well another set billionaires and ray have made another $300000000000.00 because of his profit tax. for president i had it close to the greatest economy in the history of our country and by the way now it's being built again we handed him a booming economy he blew it wasn't he looing he blew it and blow me my economic plan would create $7000000.00 more jobs in his in 4 years number one and number 2 it would create an additional one trillion dollars in economic growth because that would be about buying american. races if you have treated the black community about as bad as anybody in this country say

the crime bill 1994 where you call them super predators african-americans of super predators. and they've never forgotten it when i support is the police having the opportunity to deal with the problems they face and i'm not totally opposed to defunding the police officers the people of this country want and demand law and order and you're afraid to even say it the vast majority of police officers are good decent honorable men and women who risk their lives every day to take care of us but there are some bad apples and when they occur when you find them they have to be sorted out they have to be held accountable when the international affairs experts a family clan and former republican senator john lott and share their views on the 1st debate there's little doubt that trump lost his composure as he was repeatedly interrupting and. seemed overly emotional and somewhat hysterical i was disappointed to see it in side to sort of

stoop to that kind of behavior he tends to be very dismissive been goalie and in fact you name call it's certainly not presidential it's not the kind of behavior that you really want to see any candidate match or anybody watching had their minds changed except that i do i do see that i think biden is going to have some cleanup to do with the left flank it's inappropriate he just dismissed the president as a liar i think i'd hate to see the count on how many times he said the president just lies without backing up and being specific about what was dishonest but american politics can be pretty contentious and i think american people sadly are kind of used to it. now france and germany have raised these stick of sanctions in a bid to cal moscow into doing what it's told us regards the alexina valley case

details after the break.

as election day approaches there are growing concerns whether the an outcome will be contested whether the election will be digital and we are told this election truly matters we're always told this however this time around there is a different feel there is an existential just election how many voters will say my president. will come back the threat of sanctions is being dangled over russia yet again france and germany are warning moscow of consequences if it doesn't do more to shed light on the alleged poisoning of russian opposition figure alexei navalny. one of our call on russia to do more to investigate this case the case such as this must have consequences the therefore reserves the right to impose sanctions.

if she. picked them up there was very clearly an assault and an assassination attempts that was made on russian soil against a russian opponent with a chemical agent not business related in russia. and therefore it is on russia to give indispensable clarification that we will have to draw from the information that russia provides the consequences all its refusal to provide clarification on. despite the german foreign minister's tough words the country's chancellor angela merkel has just said that she will wait and see what the chemical weapons watchdog concludes before deciding how to proceed in war russian prosecutors have now sent a 3rd request to berlin seeking the evidence that they say they need to formally open a case their previous requests were ignored. we consider it an attempt to politicize the matter everything that is going on indicates that it is not about seeking the truth our prosecutors have said

a 3rd request to germany but there has only been one of response and that was from the media that the request had been received. down to political analysts gilbert doctora good afternoon to kill but 1st of all the threat of sanctions do you believe is genuine the way though i think this is a talking point. that i think we have to look at must a statement from the state or not growing in the context of what i see is it wrong . on russia going on today. the other 2 elements of the government's arms that. bombers approaching russian borders on shipping there whose missiles are military from informational political spare one cannot extend or to bring in the north into question. the west is now all. pressure on russia. this is only one. why do this then what it what do you think the likes

of france and possibly germany if you listen to the foreign minister are trying to achieve by exerting this pressure. well behind all this while without much doubt without being an investigator into conspiracy theories i think it's rather safe to assume that united states intelligence agencies are very actively coordinating these various pressures on russia at the same time the germany and france between themselves are vying for leadership in the european union and we turn on this tomorrow on to a prominent position which he loves too much to walk you by by use appearance and your messages where in it is the just released shows that he is an opportunist without scruples who will pursue this issue of the vul me because if thinks it's a good horse to ride just as he is pursuing the support or if i lost iowa and doing

west they're better than america he doesn't get on your receiver he goes to visit her in the country goes most prominent in supporting her claims to be at the acting president of all those. germany says it wants russia to investigate france said the same why not then if you want an investigation hand over the evidence that germany possesses which is what russia's been asking for. the answers are going to question they don't want an investigation this is a talking point it is a lever against was working as they in their view. want to you made changes that way because if there would be a proper investigation the absurdity of the claims made against russian. oil or the oil is lehman's warming will be completely or if there's a proper investigation the nonsense surrounding the. nerve agent but

which are which are supposedly the usual ones will be clear it is impossible to prove but know who the truck was the agent when everything we know about the truck from this group about this is a tradition with what we've heard about with him of our constituency and this situation of all those people who were with him which logically should have meant they all die they did not have. mass as his rhetoric has been quite aggressive towards russia yet we yank the american saying actually she's going to wait to hear from the o.p.c. w. before deciding how to proceed it's just that they're not exactly on the same hymn sheet when it comes to how to move forward in this matter souvenir american who are bickel jargon what we're seeing between miracle marse mist is the good that was going to work that was going to block that i think it would be naive to assume

2 of them are at odds or that this is not that important to us. but many thanks for your time i guess the political analyst skill that doctrine of global. now angela merkel has also said that she will meet with the russian opposition leader at lunna taken off sky who's currently in self-imposed exile in lithuania having fled her home country following august disputed presidential election the german chancellor appears to share her view that this was wrecked. well all morning archbishop we do not recognize the legitimacy of the president see him to engage in dialogue with his people without interference from east or west we can down what's going on there on a daily basis specifically the derailment of the democratic process and the violence perpetrated against the opposition. ok our europe correspondent peter oliver joins

me live on the line now. to kind of sky really just met with the man you're micro now another european leader it seems as though. she's really drumming up or certainly trying to drum up a real european bed of support yes i'm going merkel has joined french president emanuel not calling calling for alexander lukashenko to step down from the position of president of belarus. met with settler ticking off the woman who ran against luka shankar in august disputed election earlier this week during that meeting he said that he was willing or following that meeting at least he said he was willing to act as a mediator to try and sort out the impasse that resulted from that disputed election there's been some people calling well questioning is he fit to be the mediator when he so publicly already given his support to one side in that dispute we've heard on wednesday from chancellor angela merkel saying that she will also

hold a meeting with svetlana to get off scale. that's worth taking here i will meet with their positions to her north korea when we see brief women taking to the streets calling for a corruption free life i cannot but it mire that on. well with e.u. power brokers the big guns really france and germany either having held or about to hold meetings with take it off it does seem it all does with previous statements we've heard from france and germany concerning outside interference in the future of. the store for an absolutely clear and more bayless must find its way by sounder and there must be no involvement from abroad the people of belarus know what they want and it was good for them and we want the dialogue to take place among belorussians themselves but the european union is ready to take part if that's what belorussians want russia should also be included as part of that dialogue. with.

moscow sees these meetings as attempts to directly interfere in the future of deloris polygamy appeared as suppressed spokes person to me to the press corp saying that there was tremendous outside pressure on minsk. we consider these decisions to be at odds with international law they clearly failed to facilitate dialogue and in effect amounted to meddling in internal affairs. expect plenty more to come on valerie's for europe this week there's an e.u. council summit taking place this day friday this week and sanctions on batteries are expected to be decided during thoughts on that many thanks for the update peter all of a live in berlin for us. and pre-show you guys staying with us here and i'll see international updates on our top stories more analysis coming in half an hour.

well let's talk about tea and crumpets and scones in london bridge. as the u.s. economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40

hours 'd in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still has the lead up to the reality of we're not financially equality and the lack of affordable housing living minimum wage give many people no choice. that's been a problem with the city knows turn. cold to stay way out almost. because yes that requires resources the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible comes.

hello and welcome to crossfire we're all things are considered on peter lavelle as election day approaches there are growing concerns whether the outcome will be contested whether the election will be legitimate we are told this election truly matters we're always told this however this time around there's a difference feel there is an existential all the key to disallow action how many voters will say not my president after november 3rd. to discuss this and more i'm joined by my guest. shot in reston she is a political advisor and commentator as well as the founder of republican women for i.d. and in las vegas we crossed a growing he is a republican strategist right across the rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i was appreciate what he was going to rory in las vegas you

know as you saw and heard in my introduction a lot of people are considering this election is the next essential one meaning it's you know black and white it is it's a bloodsport to the end and give and they and the victor will vanquish the losers here ok that's how a lot of the media has been trained is that a really good idea to do that because the country is already. terribly divided we have these health conditions and then there is the questions about balloting here i mean how is it a lot of hyperbole or is there pretty much on the mark rory what do you think you know a few weeks ago i may have answered that question with that is a lot of hyperbole yesterday in minneapolis we saw that the brother of a city council member was driving around with 300 ballots in his car in express violation of minnesota law which allows for one person have up to 3 ballots on their person or to act as a custodian for up to 3 ballots so i mean you know american politics.
