armenia. continue to. r.t. is the only media access to the conflict so. the 2 nations wage a war of words the u.n. . security council calls for an immediate cease fire also ahead. how much. everybody knows he's a liar. you should. know your number to know. when the 1st presidential debate before the u.s. election descends into name calling interruptions. choice moments from the.

live around the clock or across the world this is. from the team myself you know neal hello and welcome to the program. the u.n. security council is calling for an immediate end to fighting between armenia and azerbaijan after 4 days of hostilities the 2 nations are once again vying for control over the long disputed border region of the. r.t. if they so international media are granted access to the region. spoke to me earlier from their. well we're in the city of stop on the capital of the disputed nagorno-karabakh region and well you can see how dark it is around me well it's not because we're in a forest or somewhere in the middle of nowhere no in we're in the middle of a city a big pretty big bustling city normally shining with the lights but this is not the

case right now because all the street lights have been switched off people are trying not to light the lights in their homes just because just to make it more difficult the job more difficult to those who are bombing this town what has become regular here raid sirens that sort of a tour of terrifying soundtrack to this war i should say this city of step on a cat is pretty far from the front line about 60 kilometers probably but regularly every day we're hearing dozens of raid sirens and we hear it we're hearing explosions as the missile defense systems as ed found systems i should say shooting down these drones that the azerbaijani army is sending in sending in here now when it comes to the latest as to what's going on on the frontlines well i wish i could tell you that it is getting more timid but well it isn't at all the fighting is

intensifying from what i'm seeing this is the conclusion that i can make so far the infantry aren't at each other's throats on going into hand to hand combat so far the conflict in the staging of artillery shelling and bombings the drone bombings especially so the 2 the 2 sides are firing at each other relented. the ruthlessly when it comes to casualties both armenia and azerbaijan to giving contradicting figures and each says for instance armenia for example is saying that more than $100.00 people were killed they could have they killed more than 100 as they are by johnny soldiers as they are by john denies that and says that it was them who killed hundreds of armenians soldiers and i mean turn denies that so it is difficult to find any and plausible and real it's difficult to tell which figures are realistic indeed now when it comes to the bigger developments armenia today the foreign ministry accused by john of giving up all operations offensive operations

bombings control to the turkish military so essentially they've said that now everything that is going on every bombing is something that turkey has ordered something that has been ordered from by you the turkish military now ankara of quds has adamantly denied that saying that they are not involved in this conflict militarily armenia has promised to show some proof but hasn't done so so far now as to what we have seen we travel to and to a frontline town basically in an hour that we spent there filming we witnessed everything artillery artillery fire from both sides a drone came and flew into buzzing the armenian soldiers shot at us didn't they missed the drone bomb those those who shot at it and flew away and then artillery work to get all that in a span of just an hour now i will be standing by here reporting from the frontlines

and from and report giving you bringing you personal stories alike so stay tuned for that. meanwhile azerbaijani media published a video allegedly showing a drone strike on armenians sorters dozens of civilian and military casualties have been reported on both sides here's how it people in azerbaijan and armenia view the ongoing crisis. for the can also known as a by john is not providing any opportunity to resolve this conflict to negotiations it has been decided that the conflict must be resolved through force and we already fought before but it must be understood that if this happens there will be severe loss of life and every loss is a tragedy or we do not want to be addressed in this way. meets our position it is serious to march of glee and from their point of view we are to blame as an armenian i do not want to talk about who is right or wrong but i would like the

issue to be resolved through negotiations not force. i don't like what is happening many people i know are not going to the front we don't want blood to be sure we want everything to end peacefully but i am afraid there is no chance to talk about peace at the moment we must reclaim our labs. for devotion in the north . of course what is happening in the conflict zone is bad who would want to handle anyone see people dying to tell the hand was forced by the armenians. so far. have rejected international calls for peace talks their senior correspondent brought goes the it has more now on the standoff. the violence 5 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 overnight it's that they had been damaged the civilian infrastructure civilian casualties people

wounded we also have heard as about john came to have destroyed. an s. $380.00 air defense missile complex that was stationed apparently they say near the front lines down 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 are media subjected to causations of the armed forces was of course john along the front line and adjacent populated areas in my country to use an intensifier you know due to the aggression on force

and so forth 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 norsk you move through aggression a greased people no good economy the aggression. in your reference point the use of a journey so it's cool milledge concert is not really deceptive barbash 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 it by john firmly we've heard statements such as i said by john in turkey one people living in 2 different states we've also heard a senior turkish official come out and say that any meaning an attack on and thereby jogging 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 if 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 take issue 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 jarl it self has denied. that we have information that turkey is seeking a reason for a wider involvement in this conflict some have 16 jets have been taking part in the fighting it's easy to prove that it is just another provocation by in the east through 3 turkish warfare instructors and high ranking personnel 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 to the conflict the passions here 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. meanwhile there's a new twist to the current conflict the russian foreign ministry ses intelligence suggesting extremist militants are being brought in from the middle east to fight in the conflict zone. according to the information we have received militants from

illegal armed groups have been transferred to the nagorno-karabakh conflict zone from syria in libya to take part in the hostilities we call on the leaders of the countries involved to take active measures to prevent the deployment of foreign terrorists in mesmerism the conflict and to ensure their immediate withdrawal from the region. i'm joined live in the studio by political analysts for off side good to see you just 1st aspect what do you make of that statement from the foreign ministry who could be bringing foreign mercenaries including terrorists into this called place there are many organizations not to believe i don't think it is real will be paid bodies' me the dorcy me their oath as written by gen or even to me that it is mainly i'm i suppose the initiative belongs to certain financial. financial firms related to the muslim presence in that of the meaning of the.

walking that they even don't have a nationality to emotional baby for me because he is not the. most by these mo but with tarp to show a little bit generate these working with the muslims and they are going to have such a big don't forget the look of muslims from different countries coming to fight against the government of syria to see that they could be new to it and then he could lots of them brought from the former soviet union including because of the included northern composite including mike nations. everybody and if they happened to be in that sort of budget it would seems natural so. they made peter's because they know. people for growth in food and most you know the former medicine orders for terrorists. you know you've become to a sort of budget and they can't. hold themselves as fighting. against christians so

you don't think there's any states involvement because i want to say about the armenian prime minister has stated turkey might be sending syrian mercenaries to azerbaijan to fight in this conflict could this information of any. lines of truth in it well it's good because you need to cross the borders you need to get customs clearance when you come into country and of course the to push government feel relaxed when the militants who are in practical meaning under took control getting out of the country and they could much less problems because when they go to get out to other place and get the game and that's the feeling that the former soviet union have something in common and when these people who live in for arabs for syrians when big come back to the former soviet union. these kind of go for it let's say should so i think they knew about it and they could put it away and but

they didn't but there is no any official decisions that sent has a. government sponsored troops that sponsored by the clones sucked in piper for slum it forms it's absolutely different from the like but from general stuff but made for them to give another claim by armenia was one of its planes was shot down by a turkish fighter jet strenuously deny it but we've seen over the last number of days some statements of support from for azerbaijan how far do you think turkey is willing to go to help its ally well you should understand the situation be thrown the chair of the gun the shaken out too many forces inside or you wouldn't looting of a gun but a tea party now wanting to replace him and he's fighting for the place so if the media put a fortune would be on those who are by johnny side at the gun would get the glory.

conquer over their demands for like stuff like a mullet that you were was a big greek conqueror so if military force sure i wanted to buy johnny's but if it means we have begun to lose nothing. because bt but it's a little bit generous we have noted relations but think it's a sort of pledge and we didn't get there were you can smash their position you can we next the mix and he would change over the action so that is the question then not get the one too in walgett and wall to wall is that these but they want to. mean to use this opportunity for internal question the idea that we should not lies this war through the international politics no in total but politics you know participants even remain in gordon going to sort of budget and then talk over the country's issue for internal politics within it so in that sort of budget and then

there may need to use the question of break between the public opinion and the real opinion of the people people want peace while public opinion stands on war i mean what propaganda in both countries both sides because there is a problem afraid he's refused politically active and big have nothing to lose and they really want to regain something through war and the determining the public opinion both countries can and that is a big problem yet just another issue about. this understeer seems to be a lot of different angles because we know that russia staying neutral but if there are foreign mercenaries getting involved exacerbating what is already a deadly situation how long do you think moscow is going to uphold that you try lety while moscow is going to be neutral over that period of time actually let this be open we used was mentioned that is to at least we used to but there is also

another type of people which military instructors meet to read why is that and there are questions and wiser's and both sides because when you sell military equipment you need to so to train the people you need to do it at once and in reality. in the real world usually we cannot the war but the c.p.t. war despite all the orders for a most coup but that would do it but the practical life if you mean train people and they get to war but russian officers normally called that moment. and in such cases russia go specifying that reaching stopping the war because. it is really what the people know if you speak to normal simple not politically active i mean you know budgets they say we want peace we want to make good relations with that one neighborhood we want to see for the future and then see looking for and

seeking for political solution instead of military thank you very much for coming in and sharing your thoughts with us we will see how it plays out over the next number of days political analyst saeed got for all thank you. for watching or to international still to new york times readers are up in arms over the papers for last night's debates we go further into that story in about 90 seconds time. please.

let's talk about. the london bridge. just coming up to 20 minutes into the program welcome back donald trump and joe

biden have locked horns in the 1st u.s. election debate of 202030 or my colleagues down the hawkins quarter discuss the presidential class which was a chaotic affair with no shortage of insults interruptions. listen respectfully to each other's opinions i'm not here to call out his lies everybody knows he's a liar never use the word smart with me ever use that word because you know what there's nothing smart about you joe what do you she was excuse the one who so you are number 2 know he's putin's puppy i get my time back if you are interruptions i am appealing to you sir to do that will get him to well frankly you've been doing more interrupting there to get out but he does plenty well less than you will he's just shush for a minute why do you do it over again in the last 25 years i because i'm going to do it because you are president things up you are a senator and the worst were as always america is ever. going. to get any

word with this clown directly matters that you know now that were done were done sir while then the american people had big hopes for this debate after all it's happening on the backdrop of a global pandemic and a serious economic crisis but based on how both biden and trump conducted themselves i would say most people probably thought they were watching some sort of circus. you should get out of your bunker and get out of the sand trap and get in your golf course and fund what needs to be done now to save lives he wants to shut down this country and i want to keep it open. i had it close to the greatest economy in the history of our country we handed him a booming economy he blew it was it a loon. he races you say the crime bill 1904 where you call the super predators african-americans the super predators and the moderator was barely able to hold this discourse together to stop it from completely devolving into insults and unsurprisingly we saw the mainstream media

pretty quickly send out already headlines blaming trump entirely for derailing the debate but as we just saw in that clip it takes 2 to tango and biden didn't exactly live up to his promise to bring dignity to politics we. do all that we need to do to make this country grow to restore doing we need to restore the integrity of the presidency of the office of presidency and humans to the american public had high hopes for this debate what's been the reaction so far while during the debate the moderator was able to get in a lot of questions that the american people really want answers to how the next administration is going to handle coronavirus relief racism police brutality of the social unrest but the most important thing of all is how biden or trump actually respond to these questions and voters didn't seem to think that they did a very good job honestly is a very painful response i don't think either them one this is terrible all around this is very upsetting to watch that this is the best representation for our

country right now i don't think i can say that even if you were one i think that it was a twister it was a wild ride it went right it went left there was a lot going on there was a lot of interruption it was crazy. to me that i don't think either one of them respected none of the other. and the economy seems to agree with those voters as well because right after the close of this chaotic debate we saw u.s. stock futures take a plunge and while both political camps have already started making political memes as if they're their guy won the debate everyday voters are really kind of taking a sort of i'd rather laugh than cry approach.

i got merkel her surge she's planning to meets with the bell russian opposition leader so it limits are going to sky is currently. being flown her country after the disputed presidential election last month and the german chancellor shares her view that the vote was rigged. it can be both one thing we do not recognize the legitimacy of this presidency him to engage in dialogue with his people without interference from east or west we can down what's going on the on a daily basis specifically the derailment of democratic processes and the violence perpetrated against the opposition german chancellor angela merkel has added her voice to calls from french president emmanuel back on for alexander lukashenko to

step down as president of belarus micron had met with svetlana taken over sky the woman who ran against lucas schenker in august disputed election just earlier this week that meeting took place between the french president and mistaken following that meeting that crown said that he was willing to act as a mediator to get to the bottom of the impasse that followed that vote however there has been some questions over the fitness of mr micron to act as a mediator in a dispute he's already very publicly taken aside in or speaking or wednesday the german chancellor angela merkel said that she will also be holding her own meeting with svetlana taken off in a meeting of the need. i will meet with their positions to one offs can have one we see brief women taking to the streets calling for corruption free life i cannot but it mire that. with 2 of the keep power brokers in france and germany either having

met with or agreeing to meet with svetlana ticket it's hard to see how that sits alongside previous statements by emanuel must go on and angle merkel saying that there should be no outside interference in the future dollars and says. absolutely clear the most must find its way by itself 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 the russians themselves with the european union is ready to take part if that's what belorussians wants russia should also be included as part of that dialogue with moscow is unequivocal on this and says that these meetings are direct outside interference on the future of belarus vladimir putin's spokes person to me to the press corp saying that there was tremendous external pressure on minsk and on alexander lukashenko right now we consider these decisions to be an arts with international law they clearly feel to facilitate

dialogue and in effect amount to meddling in internal affairs expect you bellerose talk coming this week on thursday and friday there's a special you council summit taking place during that summit we can expect the future of sanctions on belarus and all alexander lukashenko and those close to him to be discussed you bring you all the latest on that as it happens. just go back to last night choose the unites us presidential debates the new york times is under fire from its own readers over its coverage of that the paper tweeted this screen shots of it's fact checking piece now it shows a quote from joe biden claiming we left trump a booming economy and he calls the recession the new york times flag burt and his faults and it's mostly liberal readers were all impressed. and this is the image

you choose to include cancelling my subscription tomorrow i'm done with the this is ridiculous ludicrous shameful. ok after decades of being a subscriber i'm going to have to cancel my subscription because the new york times continues to enable trump's fascism. so glad i cancelled my subscription to rag cannot believe you would choose a biden quote tough to trump just lied for 90 minutes what we're seeing now is this some of the new york times which the claims that sob so fervently to be the paper of record and to be the authoritative voice the news america they've really gone so far up in just really won't even pretend to be to be biased already pretend to give the other side a fair shake the readers are a bit so poisoned by the rhetoric of the last 4 years that that the opposition president is the incarnates of evil right that that nothing else mattered but getting rid of this guy they poison the reader so much that this rhetoric as soon as it is the one of these media companies just dipping their toe in the water of

fact checking joe biden then it's all out backlash and they think that suddenly these papers are on the side of some dark side tannic force it's a chicken or egg question with this relationship that these far lefties have with their media but they're locked into each other now and it's an absolute echo chamber live from our news h.q. here in moscow this is art international i will be back in around 30 with all your latest updates off for some more great programs which get going and moments hope you'll join me then. seemed wrong wrong just don't call. me. yet to shape out just they can't educate and gain from it because the trail.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. 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 the we're not financially equality and the lack of affordable housing for a living minimum wage gave many people no choice. just been a problem with the city knows turn to bitch and told me stay away almost. 2 sins of the food that there is no answer because yes the requires at least once the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible cops.
