what's left of the round that fell in this back yard it's really heavy. on t.v. reports on the impact on local communities of the no go in a kind of conflict between armenia and azerbaijan were civilians are being killed in strikes and shelling. still it is an hour into the 5th day with both sides rejecting calls for a cease fire we hear from civilians in both countries who wish for a peaceful resolution. as an armenian i do not want to talk about this crisis but i would like those issues to be resolved through negotiations i don't like what many people i know what you're going to do you don't want the law to be. rights group

amnesty international condemns the french forty's for their code in crackdown on peaceful demonstrators. good morning thanks for joining us here on r.t. and. media and azerbaijan have both rejected calls for a ceasefire and ruled out peace talks are still ities over disputed border territory and 5th day these images here were released by azerbaijan they show the destruction of armenian military vehicles in the golan account about region both sides of released a number of videos to back up their claims of military conquest. is in the conflict zone and reports now on the impact the hostilities are having on local communities . nagorno karabakh is sandwiched between the territorial ambitions of armenia and azerbaijan but as commanders in chief are deploying platoon after platoon to the

frontline it's often civilians who end up in the crossfire on both sides or in a small town in the disputed nagorno-karabakh region the front line is about 5 to 7 kilometers that way and thereby johnny shell flew from over there and made this crater and well there was a bus staying right here has already been cleared the debris and it was bustling with people as a result because of the strike this strike killed 2 people and 5 more were wounded all of them civilians this is no military complex it's just a building just a house where you live and in fact i'm being told that these these areas are being shelled relentlessly even though the closest military position is about 3 to 4 kilometers away that way what you what you're hearing right now is them firing in fact we could hear just minutes ago a u.s. v and sometimes even see it as it was making circles above us it was not in armenia

and it was in azerbaijan one so this is one of the places where it is as hard as it gets in the going to care about their own many places that have it worse than the town of martinique within the 60 minutes that we were filming there we had artillery infantry drones all of them had their deadly say. it would be a new movie the. air raid sirens and the buzz of drones have become the terrifying soundtrack to this war in the gorn a cab back and this frontline town his enduring booms all calibers this is what's left of the round that fell and his backyard it's really. and well i'm being told it's about $160.00 millimeters in caliber which makes it

a truly formidable project and you can see the amount of damage that it did here for instance here used to be the gates well they are now completely gone both sides are ready to fight to the bush rend both sides have the fervid support of their populations sharing an underlying belief that it's them fighting for the right cause and not the enemy with all the horrors that have already haunted this land this war shows that the you'll grievances have only deepened and we've done of reporting from the ground a care about r.t. . they're going to care about his wall of several border disputes remaining from the collapse of the soviet union the republic seceded from azerbaijan back in $1808.00 and declared itself independent of the enclave predominantly populated by armenians is not widely recognized as an independent state. well russia is among the countries that surging an immediate cessation of

hostilities are to correspond to reports now on moscow's response to conflict. so the issue of foreign mercenaries from outside the region being moved into the conflict zone in the gorn a car back it was 1st armenia that kept pointing out these concerns but now is the time when for the 1st time the russian side began to address this threat here's exactly what the foreign ministry statement said 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 still it is we call on the leaders of the countries involved to take active measures to prevent the deployment of foreign terrorists a masterpiece in the conflict and to ensure their immediate withdrawal from the region so in this particular case and it's very important moscow is not pointing the fingers at any of the sides for being behind this but like i said when you're

yvonne began talking about alien fighters in the region they started blaming turkey right away in fact the armenian side was blaming turkey from the very beginning for provoking this call flick now in an interview to the russian media both leaders of armenia and azerbaijan addressed this specific issue and here's exactly what they had to say bye and they threw 3 turkish water instructions and high ranking personnel a currently at command posts in azerbaijan and 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 into the conflict the role of anchor all in all this has been the focus of speculation and debate for a long time now because unlike many important international players which called

for a peaceful settlement of the crisis from the very beginning and which didn't take sides turkey. decided to back i was there by john immediately and even threatened to send its military there now that's something that wasn't welcomed by the russian side at all which at this point has very good relations with anchor up so here's what the russian side replied to the statements that were made by turkish officials lately we stand by as a by john on the field and at the table now we want to solve this problem completely so that peace and stability can come to the region the occupied territories of us by joan must be liberated. through there and shoot any statements about some kind of support and military activities undoubtedly add fuel to the fire to things we are firmly against this we call on all countries especially our partners including turkey to do all they can to urge the conflict insides to return to the scenes prior to all this comes amid reports in the media that syrian rebels

backed by turkey could be getting ready to be moved to the nagorno-karabakh region or are already on the way but these are just reports for now and again i'd just like to point out that in its statement the russian diplomats aren't blaming anyone for the things that are causing concern at this point. now my colleague in a neil spoke earlier on to a political analyst focusing on the region who says that the situation is more complex than it 1st looks. there are many organizations not probably i don't think it is real be state bodies media or dorky me they are all funded by gen or even believe that it is mainly i am i suppose the initiative belongs to certain financial firms and slumming financial firms related to the muslim presence in and out of the meaning of the they are many and prime minister has stated turkey might

be sending syrian mercenaries to azerbaijan to fight in this conflict could this information have any crimes of truth in it well it could 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 turkish control getting out of the country and they could much less problems because when they go to get out to other place and don't forget the game to still be feeling that the former soviet union have something in common and when these people who live in for arabs for syrians for turks when we come back to the former soviet union. if 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 we've seen over the last number of days 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 was shaken now but too many forces inside talk of the gun party are now wanting to replace him and he's fighting for a place so the military fortune would be on a sort of bridge on the side at the gun to get the glory of. conquer over their minions like stuff accumulate that you was a big greek conqueror so that is if military for sure are on a suitable journeys but if it means we have begun to lose nothing because of its beauty but its is a job but is it about genocide we have no relations. a misty international has issued a damning reports condemning the french government's brutal suppression of

protesters it also alleges that the right to free assembly is being violated with more his shall a d.v.d. . amnesty international doesn't hold back in this report accusing authorities of using oppressive laws in the period pre and post the code it 19 locked down. have been arbitrarily fined raster detained and prosecuted for peaceful activities which should not be considered defenses peaceful protests have been banned under draconian kovan $1000.00 powers and hundreds of protesters find the report says that despite the covert lockdown ending in may a barrel all public gatherings of more than 10 people remained in force it claims that this was disproportionate given that other launch gatherings in open spaces were permitted yet even though it was deemed illegal protests did take place

including ones linked to the black lives matter movement oh that. was put on as it was the burn was eventually overturned by francis highest administrative court but i'm misty says that dozens if not hundreds of protesters were fined for participating in small public gatherings over the past few months it says in the cases that it has documented the fines imposed appear to constitute a disproportionate restriction to the right to freedom of peaceful assembly that includes the case of eleanor a health worker took part in a protest calling for support for the public health system they say the police

stopped eleanor who was alone at the time in front of the closing stores are law enforcement official. checked eleanor's backpack which contained a gas mask and a pair of goggles they told her that she would be fined for participating in the band protests they subsequently arrested her and placed her in a pre-charge detention for participating in the group with a view to preparing violent acts in 20182019 amnesty says that more than 40000 people were convicted on the basis of vague laws the yellow vests movement was hit particularly hard. and. it was.

but it's not just protesters who've been at the receiving end amongst those detained with 1st aiders human rights observers and journalists we were in plaster republique i was filming the police cordons there were clashes around the square but not where we were walking we decided to leave and suddenly my friend shouted brice watch out several police called me from behind and forced me to the ground they insulted me and asked if i throw projectiles against them i told them that i was a journalist and that i had my student card royce was placed in pre-charge detention before being told that he would be prosecuted for using violence against public officials he was later acquitted amnesty is now calling on the

french parliament to review and to repeal all laws that impose a punishment solely for the exercise. eyes of the right to peaceful assembly it also wants the interior and the justice minister is here in france to offer clearer guidance for law enforcement officials so that in less someone is carrying a pair of goggles or a face mask and this suspected of being involved in a violent crime they are not subject to detention in light of this report amnesty says it's ironic that a country with such a long and proud tradition of collective action for social change is criminalizing protest in this way. r.t. paris we've asked the french government to respond to these charges so far no comment for the diversion attorney says the protesters have been treated there has

undermined trust. the french government. to you chris to protest for 2 years now to call them do you know best the president micro used the police. very strong strength to to stop the protest using force which was not necessary but in fact he was using force to tell the people stay home don't go back to protest industry they were not. there delinquent people they were just upset of the leaving of the level of living in france i think the people are. in their skin they're hurting their soul and there is no account let's not trust president and i think he's going to be very hard to lead to. these 2 years before the new

presidential election there is a mix up trust of i think from from the french people. ok after the break we'll be finding out more on the latest on the conflict that has a by.

let's talk about. welcome back ok let's return to our top story this hour. both rejected calls for a cease fire ruled out peace talks still ities over

a disputed border territory now into their 5th day let's get more on this story now from our correspondent situated in istanbul though believes in trying to get into as a body. the latest please on the escalation that we're seeing in this conflict. well there's been absolutely no lol in the fighting continued overnight raged i would say every few hours we're seeing both sides publish new videos showing terrible destruction showing drones prodding tags to artillery or armored personnel carriers into into flaming scrap and we're also seeing casualty numbers both military and civilian spyro seems to be getting worse and worse and the escalation seems to be escalating itself and this is all despite tremendous diplomatic pressure for both sides to take a pause to take

a break to anything you know give talks the charts despite everything the international community is doing the violence seems to be getting worse on monday we have only one condition that armenia leaves our lands completely and immediately this is valid if the armenian government complies with this the fighting will stop there will be no bloodshed there will be peace peace will come to our region you're the. i believe the armenian army can secure a country in the self-defense forces of the golden corral bark or successfully protect their region or through a political standpoint i believe it's very important for us that international partners knew how and who started this military action. as it about john has said that it will to wait anymore that it doesn't see the point in all these talks for years now as it by john's president said these talks have proved fruitless fruitless and returning carabaos to i said about johnny sovereignty and now he says

it's a time for action for a military push to write as he says a historic wrong the armenians on the other hand and now referring to this is a patriotic war they believe that this is a conflict that is life or death for them and a swearing both armenia and catabolic to to fight until the last man as i mentioned this is all despite unprecedented diplomatic pressure from america from the european union which you read to often read of cooling boot sides of flooring them asking them even begging them to give peace a chance to give talks it chugs nothing has worked so far both sides are adamant that the other begad it and that they're only doing what is right now france for example from french president mccall has come down hard even on turkey which he says e's also to blame here because it's aggressive rhetoric it's bellicose

rhetoric izumi egging as it were john on making them believe that there is a military solution to this to this conflict something that is that that he believes is a there by john is mistaken about. all of that with this rhetoric though it is in stark contrast to what would repeat all things here in istanbul in turkey in out of menial encounter boxed in by coup people know off the so many years of escalations of flare ups the peace doesn't come through all. prosecutor and almost as a by john is not providing any opportunity to resolve this conflict to negotiations it has been decided the conflict must be a result of the force of the me already from the to the floor but it must be understood that if this happens there will be severe loss of life. medical needs as an armenian i do not want to talk about who is right or wrong but i would like

those issue to be resolved through negotiations and not force him to use the i don't like what is happening many people i know are now 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 and we must reclaim our laptops. for diversion and. of course what is happening in the conflict zone is bad who would want to handle one see people dying tell hand was forced by the armenians or the world walsh last fall in the 1st war and in 2016 most don't now a days people go to the front lines. when the shelling come down they will be needed there we used to it this is our homeland and we have nowhere to go. the losses both sides suffering though we can't verify everything it's impossible for now tremendous so. perhaps the sheer magnitude of what is happening will

force both sides to take a pause and to reconsider the approach that they're both taking but for now that seems a concept because the the president of carabao has warned his citizens that people have got about to prepare for a prolonged war he said about johnny siders as we mentioned earlier obviously said it's part and that path is to reclaim cared about by force. frank is there reporting on the latest on that conflict thank you. but other news now the united kingdom is vowing tougher anti coded measures as the infection rate there spirals with more than $7000.00 infections registered in just the last 24 hours there is only one way of doing this and that's by showing a collective forbearance common sense and willingness to make sacrifices for the safety of others and i have to be clear that if the evidence requires it we will

not hesitate to take further measures that would i'm afraid be more costly than the ones we put into effect not one week ago or a chance and they're brought in a 10 pm curfew for pubs bars restaurants in england similar restrictions were introduced in scotland and wales along with a 15 person limit for weddings the u.k. government also introduced its rule of 6 men to simplify and strengthen rules on social gatherings that escape artist reports from london it led to more confusion. the u.k. is suffering from covert 19 confusion rising levels of corona virus infections of causing widespread but forment among the public and officials struggling to implement the policies aim to defeat it even the prime minister mixed up some jurisdictions it's 6 in 6 in the hospitality but as i understand it not success but boris johnson got it wrong and had to tweet an apology apologies i misspoke

today in the northeast new rules mean you cannot meet people from different households in social settings indoors including in pubs restaurants and your home you should also avoid socialising with other households outside that couldn't go are mentioned by the opposition leader who seized on his rivals gaffe to highlight public confusion about exactly who is supposed to do what of the prime minister doesn't understand the rules and his own council leaders are complaining about mixed messages how does the prime minister expect the rest of the country to understand and follow the rules the prime minister is also facing opposition within his own party with some slamming the new measures and especially the hasty implementation through parliament as the death of freedom when you've got a body of lords are at large changing that fast i doubt really anyone understands what that lure is this is not a fair environment for a free people you have people think that liberty dies it dies like this with with

government exercising draconian powers without parliamentary scrutiny in advance the authors think the policies don't go far enough one conservative m.p. thinks the military should oversee any potential mass vaccination and then issue certificates for international travel i have written to the prime minister recommending recommending that he consider calling on the minister of defense to establish a small task force led by a senior empowered voice of authority to begin the planning and design of a draft blueprint their own forces. i have the capacity the logistical experience and the national reach and i'm not overburdened by any current duties involving tackling covert 19 while parliament itself felt the wrath of public opinion when it was revealed the bars in westminster were exempt from the new 10 pm hospitality curfew a loophole that was swiftly closed following the indignant backlash weiner all for them and one for us no wonder the contras ignoring the 10 pm core few this whole

part is corrupt in everything they do instead of being shocked about parliament's bar not closing at 10 pm shouldn't we be asking why part of the needs of our no wonder m.p.'s keep doing u. turns all the time. alexander the 1st full on his new cabinet enjoying the bent of the 10 pm of the private table in the houses of parliament bar what you know or was animal farm unfold in real time is really something the pay has had several government mantras stay at home protect the n.h.s. save lives was a guideline people could understand but the rule of $6.00 prompted the question which 6 and even flux the prime minister confusion has replaced clarity which also begs the question can the government expect the public's to follow the rules if they're struggling to explain them or even agree on the take partridge altie london . responding to the government's latest fictions on the 10 pm curfew in particular

a u.k. chain of balls has now burned and paste from entering the premises. you won't serve us so we won't serve you today we call on our friends colleagues brothers and sisters in bars pubs and restaurants across the country to join us in putting all the members of parliament on notice until they see sense and either release our industry to trade or provide us with viable financial support we will not serve them our interest in politics so much so much investment to ensure. public safe if you're a man as possible. because we. won't people are being ripped out as you know how much the earth handed it to them speaking out in this country the government saying well you know. like. you like

commentator sean. situation i'm in an industry that is trying to control us interest to make sure. the environment. i clean is possible and that's minimizing the risk of transmission and fighting tooth and nail to do everything we can to survive quite frankly that will only happen if the government step in to support us. ok up about with the day some more analysis on our top stories in half an hour's time i hope to see that.
