this is what's left of the round and this back yard it's really. the territorial conflict raging between armenia and azerbaijan is having a deadly impact on the local communities on to the ports exclusive illness from the growth. of cities now into the both sides have rejected calls for a cease fire will hear from people in both villager and countries who don't want war. as an armenian i do not want to talk about the is right or wrong but i would like to be resolved through negotiation i don't like what is happening many people i know into the front line we don't want blood to be sure. and rights group amnesty

international condemns friends for allegedly exploiting the pandemic to roll out repressive measures against its people. thanks for joining us this is r.t. international. armenia and azerbaijan have both flat out rejected calls for a ceasefire peace talks are still ities over disputed border territory now and to the 5th these are the latest images that have been released by azerbaijan they show the destruction of armenian military vehicles in the go in the car about creech in both sides have released a string of videos to back up their claims of military conquest. of his in the heart of 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 we're live in 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 e one so this is one of the places where it is as hot as it gets in the going to care about their own many places that have it worse than the town of martini within the 60 minutes that we were filming there we had artillery infantry drones all of them had their deadly say. you would. air raid sirens and the buzz of drones have become the terrifying soundtrack to this war in the gorn a cab 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 around both sides of 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 all grievances have only deepened and we've done of reporting from the ground a care about our t. we're going to kind of arc is one of several border disputes remaining from the collapse of the soviet union the republic seceded from as a by charlie 1988 and declared itself independent however the enclave predominantly populated by armenians is not widely recognized as an independent state. turkey for its part has expressed staunch support for us about john in this conflict says that

this supportive limited to the diplomatic level year of an alleges the turkish air force is getting involved with more of the escalation here's our senior correspondent as the of reporting from istanbul. well there's been absolutely no lawwell in the fighting continued overnight raged i would say every few hours we're also seeing casualty numbers both military and civilian so far and it 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. but we have only one condition that armenia leaves our lands completely and

immediately this is family that is the armenian government complies with this the fighting will stop there will be no bloodshed there will be peace and peace will come to our region. i believe the armenian army can secure a country in the self-defense forces of the golden corral bark or successfully protecting their region from a political standpoint i believe it's very important for us that international partners know how and who started this military action. of the of this rhetoric though it is in stark contrast to what ordinary people think here in istanbul and in out of mean year in karabakh in baquba people know off the so many years of escalations of flare ups that peace doesn't come through war medical needs more poverty as an armenian i do not want to talk about who is right or wrong but i would like those issues to be resolved through negotiation not force temples. i don't like what has happened many people i know more and i'm 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 lands and. world. most of all in the 1st war in 26 the most don't nowadays people go to the front lines to win the shelling come down they will be needed there we used to this is offering money and if we have nowhere to go the losses booth sides suffering though we can't verify everything that's impossible for now tremendous so the 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 dream concept because the the president of care about this war and his citizens the people of calabar to prepare for a prolonged war in the is it about johnny side who has as we mentioned earlier

obviously set its path and that path is to reclaim carabaos by force will russia is among the countries that's been urging an immediate cessation of hostilities moscow's also warning about the possible involvement of foreign extremists in the conflict between takes a look at the threat. so the issue of foreign mercenaries from outside the region being moved into the called like 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 like 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 in the through turkish warfare instructors and high ranking personnel a 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 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. decided to back as they are by john immediately and even threaten 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 ankara 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 a statement the russian diplomats aren't blaming anyone for the things that are

causing concern at this point. my colleague in a neil spoke earlier to a political analyst focusing on the region who says the situation is more complex than it 1st looks. there are many organizations not to believe i don't think it is real be bodies' me the earth torquey me they are all for a little but general review in the mood it is mainly i am i suppose the initiative belongs to certain financial firms and slumming financial firms related to the muslim presence in another meaning of the. we've seen over the last number of days some statements of support from for us about 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 out too many forces inside turkey would include a gun but both parties are now wanting to replace him and he's fighting for the

place so if the military fortune would be on a sort of bridge on the side at the gun would get the glory of. conqueror over there are many and slike stuff that you would cause a big load of greek conqueror so that is if military for 2 sure are on a suitable jennie's but if it means we have begun to lose nothing because. bt but it's not about genocide we have noted relations. i missed international has issued a damning report condemning the french government's brutal crackdown on protesters it also alleges that the pandemics being exploited to bring in repressive measures you shall do with more. amnesty international doesn't hold back in this report accusing authorities of using oppressive laws in the period pre and post the code 19 locked down thousands have been arbitrarily fined arrested

detained and prosecuted for peaceful activities which should not be considered defenses peaceful protests have been banned under draconian kovan 1000 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 protest did take place including ones linked to the black lives matter movement was a. good. thing put on the issues. the ban was eventually overturned by

francis highest administrative court but amnesty 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 it was. a market. 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 priest 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. as 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 asked the french government to respond to amnesty charges so far no comment for that develop a french rights defender says that the way protesters have been treated has undermined trust. the french government. to you chris to crank this phone to your not 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 tempt the people stay home don't go by to grow this industry they were not guns there on the lake when 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 accounting let's not trust president and i think he's going to be very hard to lead just. these 2 years before the new presidential election there is a mix up trust of not i think from from the french people. the british prime minister says he's ready to unleash more and take over jules it seems confused about the bond he's already imposed wanna have to the right.

one else seems wrong. but i'll just tell all. world to shape out of this thing at a time. and in detroit because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart when just on the common ground. well let's talk about tea and crumpets and scones the london bridge and the. first presidential debate exhibit lots of like not much one can argue neither candidate last night what

a perfect reflection of the nation's politics could the campaign coming to an end do the debates have any meaningful impact is there section as an undecided vote. the u.k. says it's poised to impose tougher anti covert measures as the infection rate spirals with $17000.00 infections registered in 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 no more we can go the prime minister boris johnson

now brought in a 10 pm curfew for pubs bars and restaurants in england similar restrictions were introduced in scotland and wales along with a 15 person limit for weddings u.k. government also introduced a rule of 6 meant to simplify and strengthen the rules on social gatherings and escape parties reports it led to more confusion. the u.k. is suffering from covert 19 confusion rising levels of corona virus infections a 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 new restrictions 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 on 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 ministry 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 known forces. i have the capacity the logistical experience and the national reach and i'm not overburdened by any current duties involving tackling covert 90 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 why are all for them and one for us no wonder the contras ignoring the 10 pm course you know 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

are no wonder m.p.'s keep doing u. turns all the time alexander the 1st learn his new cabinet and join the been drafted by the private table in the houses of parliament bar which in or was animal farm unfold in real time is really something the u.k. has heard several anti covert government mantras stay at home protect the n.h.s. save lives was a guideline people could understand but the rule of 6 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 cape partridge r.t. london. the coronaviruses also having a major impact on the upcoming us presidential elections most states will resort to mail in voting in november but many including donald trump of called into question the legitimacy of the method of

a mail in ballot smiled over the early concern was killer morgan explodes. covert 19 has cast a shadow over the upcoming elections in the united states now this election just like any other will have ballots candidates and polling places but what it won't have is as many international observers the organization for security and cooperation in europe is only sending a handful of what's been planned and that's amid some growing un ease about the upcoming vote in the united states and to look uses noted that the coding ducks of these elections will be the most challenging in recent decades they expect that election officials will face serious challenges prior to and only election day due to new measures in response to covert $900.00 pandemic and expressed concerns over their ability to overcome them there's more concern about fraud in this upcoming election than any other recent election in the united states candidates are already accusing each other of cheating this election will be the most rigged election in

history or soon go green or this president trying to steal this election several military ballots will quote discard it. investigators have recovered a total of 9 ballots so far not surprisingly d.o.j. says an overwhelming majority of those ballots were cast for guests who come from what i'm saying is is that president trump in the trunk campaign are acting as if all mail in voting except for florida which he finds ok because that's the mail in voting he does all mail in voting is somehow inherently corrupt the f.b.i. says that it is monitoring the situation around the country and that there's never been a problem in the past adding to the concern about this year's upcoming vote is a project there are a thomas exposé the video purports to link congresswoman ilana omar to an illegal cash for ballots operation based upon our undercover reporting u.s. congresswoman hahn are also affectionately known as a member of the squad and her campaign may be behind one of the biggest voter fraud

schemes in american history now the office of congresswoman ellen omar denies these allegations they say that video was doctored regardless congresswoman tulsi gabbert has introduced legislation to outlaw the practice of ballot harvesting which creates a pretty big opening for fraud but it is legal in several states u.s. leaders frequently question the results of elections in other countries and brand leaders around the world as illegitimate because of allegations of fraud however with all the concerns growing as america heads to the vote this november perhaps u.s. officials should look a little bit closer to home. aren't seeing new york ok appreciate staying with me for updates and how often are.
