riband and on the streets to become the invisible. ground. between john and armenia events a 6 day it is taking an increasing toll on civilians with journalists also among those calls in the crossfire. mushroom france a syrian militants are pouring into that conflict zone as. trade accusations are before and mercenaries. news donald trump reveals that he and the 1st lady have tested positive for covert 19 the presidential election just weeks away now. and election. after the president's spokesman accused him of collaborating with the cia after the anti corruption blogger implicated. in

a poison plot on his life. this is r.t. . says it's made strategic gains in its military campaign against armenia the reaganite a territorial conflict is into its 6th day down the armenian side it's also claiming successes with the prime minister saying his troops shot down 4 drones near the capital. well here you can see a 1000000 artillery and rocket launches the hostilities have seen civilians caught in the crossfire too among them journalists a cameraman from an armenian t.v. channel was severely injured and his car was hit by shelling 2 french journalists

have also been hospitalized covering the conflict our correspondent biggest down off reports from the battleground. deadly clashes continue here in the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh both sides a meanie and us air by john bashing each other with hillary right now yeah yvonne is saying that dozens of its soldiers were killed yesterday alone while azerbaijan is saying that these numbers are actually in the hundreds saying that they killed hundreds of soldiers so it is difficult to tell how many people exactly are dying here and who to believe this comes amid mounting reports over syria and the fight is actually coming and fighting on the front lines from the as there by johnny's side several news outlets reported this so it will be there by john of who is back who is denying these reports is denying all these claims also and yesterday yesterday's shellings several news crews to the news crews. and

wounded for instance the journalist of the french newspaper le monde they got caught up in the shelling got badly wounded had to be taken to hospital and surgeons had to operate on them to save their lives franzi was even trying to send a jet here to evacuate them from this region also a cameraman of the local news crew was wounded as well all of that happened in the frontline town of martinique we ourselves filmed just a couple of days ago the city is being battered very very badly because not only not only drones can bomb wood but also it's within the range of the azerbaijani artillery now this town where we are right now the largest town in nagorno-karabakh the town of step on it is also being bombed regularly in fact we had explosions just a few minutes ago so really this is a no there's no safe place here and the fighting is not receding as both sides are refusing to sit to go back and sit at the negotiating table. the going to karabakh

conflict is one of several border disputes still unresolved since the collapse of the soviet union the enclave populated mainly by armenians broke away from azerbaijan back in 1988 but has not been widely recognized as a sovereign state the french president has warned nato that alliance member turkey has crossed a red line and i knew micron says he's received intelligence 300 syrian fighters were let through the country on their way to fight for azerbaijan i were both armenia and azerbaijan accuse each other of deploying foreign mercenaries with more his artist. well aside from an increasingly violent and volatile situation on the ground things that heating up on the diplomatic international stage i would say at this point that they are boiling france now coming out with an increasingly hardline stance on what is happening in the region in these in this

conflict and they're saying that they've come by the same intelligence as russia had that there are indeed syrian geodes mercenary fighters being transported and utilized by is headed by john in the fight against armenia. today we have information with certainty that indicates that militants from the had just groups who left the field of competency ready to rejoin the field to combat and care about . have this information they're going to transfer some percentage of fighters from the middle east is an aquatic arab information exists and it was presented in social network and brown. merely calling its international concern doesn't quite do it justice there are very concrete fears that have taken root that this could be a runaway conflict the potential as collation could be catastrophic because all

these powers regional powers could be pulled into this war into this conflict irregardless of what they want russia for example with its security pact defense pact with armenia iraq making it known very well that it is tremendously concerned about syrian fighters mercenaries which it is 4th in syria now being flew to its doorstep. just just to show how concerned they are france the united states and russia have come together in a in a comparatively rare feat addition to the joint statement calling for peace the turkey for one doesn't quite believe that that can happen. you should learn. the fact that america russia and france known as the minsk trian are looking for a ceasefire in the face of these negative developments just because they haven't equipped of this problem for nearly 30 years is unacceptable also to louis marlin turkey's position and to

a lesser degree that of john is that there have been years decades of talks and they've led to nothing they've been completely fruitless the karabakh problem is still a problem the flare ups are still happening and they say this is not the time for peace this is a tired to resolve this conflict by military means because all these talks have led to nothing and if we keep talking the conflict will keep escalating and unless the underlying issue is resolved and that is who controls care about the problem will persist. lots of john released these images showing the destruction of armenian military vehicles both sides have released a string of videos to back up their claims of tactical victories but are making contradictory claims about the damage inflicted and sustained. looks now at how disinform ations become one of the key weapons in the ground war. deception and full of military victories are as old as wolf heart south but in the digital age

the distance from ation can be tough charged the military propaganda machine of armenia which found itself in a stalemate after a series of successful hostilities by the us thereby johnny army began a large scale provocation in the information space though the armenian side as always presents old video of battles as new ones the goal was to present their failures to the population as successes the ongoing conflict in the corner care a boss is an example of how information is deployed just as powerfully and destructively as guns claiming victory come play as important a role as physically claiming territory it's all about the image you project so one surprise that just as azerbaijan tried to discredit on me as claims of success yet on shot off its own attack. the enemy both at the front in the information space is making his last efforts is running out of steam and therefore threw everything all

possible weapons into battle and even fakes and false hoods over the past few days there has been a relentless stream of accusations from one side followed by denials from the author and this exchange of fire has made finding the truth almost impossible for example armenia says one of its su 25 warplanes was shot down by tucker's fighter jet turkey and azerbaijan denounced this is lives and with no footage or i want to says it's one side's word against the others so what is the truth but even when evidence is put forward the truth proves to be just as elusive the car back to france ministry both sit down and azeri helicopter a photo of a burning helicopter hurtling to the ground is posted on social media a small victory is claimed it turns out the photo was actually of a helicopter shot down over syria back in february but it doesn't matter because people thought it was a sari and that will stick as a way john uses the same tactics to post about

a successful strike bridge on his side did not publish any images of the strikes and the remain in positions of military equipment it turned out it was for those from the war in syria these videos were shot thousands of times and so without being the truth they become a version of the truth so we're letting this has this war of information become the journalists have been put on high alert. all members of the media in armenia and azerbaijan to not take part in the ongoing information war journalist should avoid when appeal ation an official propaganda it is important to cross-check information even when it comes from official sources journalists should never become soldiers in the information war one of russia's most famous authors once compared finding the truth to looking up. for gold he said the only way is faster wash away all that is not gold then you will find your shining now get well when it comes to karpov

that's still a knot of sifting through the muddy river of misinformation to be done before we even get close to the truth. donald trump has announced that he and his wife melania trump both tested positive for covert 90 comes not long after he said that he would go into quarantine after his closest aide also tested positive for the virus tonight 1st lady of the us and i tested positive for covert 19 we will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately we will get through this together. and to live in the lineup of. scotty no hughes good to speak to scotty at this point what do we know about the president's condition. well good morning it is about 4 am in washington d.c. and most people went to sleep here in the united states they gave us hope hicks the president's longtime aide and 31 year old assistant was the one who tested positive

last notes from the president when most people went to sleep was that he had been tested he and his wife been tested since then about 12 o 5 the official memorandum came from dr connally the president's physician confirming that both the president as well the 1st lady was had tested positive however it does that the president in good health and will continue to be able to handle the position we here in the united states do have the ability thanks to the 25th amendment that the president is incapacitated he can temporarily pass his powers over to the vice president we are not at this stage because the president himself is a symptomatic as of now and only took the test because of a closeness that he had to hope x. after she tested positive herself and she said asymptomatic the must be some implications so when it comes to his campaigning how is this going to affect what he would normally be doing in his bid to style this president. well that is a very good question we're going to find out

a lot once the sun rises here in the united states how people are going to react to it is there going to be fear obviously the markets are going to be the 1st test to see how wall street is reacting to it but the campaign is very much alive and on task considering it $32.00 days the president has stopped all campaigning there all of it that he was going to be attending as evan now has cleared his schedule is only one happening at 1215 today he's going to host a phone call from the white house on aldon of coping 100.2 vulnerable seniors sent then i think the president knows very much personally right now how to handle we are within the 14 day quarantine timeframe however to the next debate which is supposed to happen on october 15th so it will depend on whether or not the president is able to meet the specific guidelines as of now there are 2 negative tests to 2 negative test taken whether or not the president has this 2nd debate as scheduled on time i honestly my personal thing is i do not think it is going to be

very likely i think they will push it outside the 14 day window and there will be that 3rd debate the supposed to be happening in nashville tennessee on october 22nd as well all of these can be pushed on the one thing that cannot be pushed off however the actual election date which is november 3rd it has never happened in history that will take you through a 3rd vote by congress to change the election date and congress has not gotten along very well on any issue let's be very highly doubtful that they would change it even on this so you still see the sanjeev because school tino hughes with the latest. alexina volley is vowing to sue of the he's accused of working for the cia the crimson spokesperson made the striking claim after the russian unto corruption blogger had alleged president vladimir putin had plotted to kill him. i claim that putin is behind the crime and i have no alternative versions of what happened i don't say that to flatter myself but on the basis of fact the

most important fact is novacek the order to use a manufacture it can only have come from 2 men the head of the f.s.b. or of the foreign intelligence service the s.v.r. and western intelligence services are working with him and particularly of the cia we believe his accusations against the russian president are groundless and unacceptable his interview reveals that he thinks he's as important as the leader of a state but the real royals that level are quite different people you know it's. only made his allegation in germany's beagle magazine in his 1st interview since coming out of a coma it's been just over a week since he was discharged from the berlin hospital that was treating him for nerve agent poisoning he thanked germany and anglo-american in particular for the whole p.v.c. and claims that it's pure luck he survived the alleged attempt on his life that moscow says there was no miracle only the professional work of the russian pilots of the plane 1st fell on and he made an emergency landing of the doctors who 1st

treated him. meanwhile the international community is calling for an investigation russia is still awaiting the requisite evidence from germany before it can open a criminal case but lin is refusing to provide the valley's test results or biomaterials under stoled moscow to address the international chemical weapons watchdog instead organization know is also refusing to cooperate instead redirecting moscow back to lead. with their excuses are completely contrived germany says it can't tell us anything in direct says to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons we've been to the o.p.c. w several times and they say talk to berlin we are ready to talk to anyone but not when in the absence of facts we're pressured into giving an account of ourselves on the basis of specific clearly formulated concerns we are always ready to have a professional conversation allows the west to say if they want to if they believe

. this actually hiding something here which it may be it may not be this well then of course it's open to the west and many of those who of course will work for the a.p.c. to be our sponsors are and supported by western governments we saw that very much during the syria series of reports of p c w and produced for any i think neutral objective investigative work questionable at best should we say that moving on to the only case it allows the p.c. to view on the west to call russia's bluff if that's what they believe is happening it will be interesting to see what the o.p.c. response to this is because they don't accept an invitation of course it paints them as an organization has absolutely come to a preordained conclusion. thing without any more news coming your way after this short break.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being that. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallowness. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the

world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you than. welcome back to moscow and to the major russian cities are tightening their coronavirus restrictions following a surge in cases auntie's little call to take to stew developments. over the past several weeks russia seen a significant rise in the rate of new covert cases with nearly $9000.00 new infections over just the past 24 hours of course the country's 2 largest cities have been hit the hardest in st petersburg cases have exceeded those from june worrying authorities that a 2nd wave may have already begun they've already made it mandatory for people to wear face masks on public transport under the penalty of a fine but on the other hand moscow's mayor seems to think the capital has enough

hospital beds to handle whatever comes out it but he still introduce new measures to deal with what he considers to be a very serious situation in the developments a very serious i expect the daily caseload to purge 3000 in the coming days we've seen an increase in the number of people hospitalized they say was seriously ill patients on the ventilators and all these numbers are rising daily hospitalization rate has reached 1000 and this is twice as high as 2 weeks ago. so gone into measures will go into effect on october 5th and they'll require all businesses to have at least 30 percent of their workforce on an at home work regime people $65.00 and older and those with serious illnesses will also be required to work from home and as for children the mayor has declared a 2 week school holiday for the beginning of october to curb the rate of infection the proportion of children who've contract it could be 19 has for the 1st time exceeded 1000 percent of all cases over the usually have mold symptoms or nonis

will they can pass the disease on to older family members who are likely to develop much more serious symptoms so far russia sporting the vaccine is going ahead with phase 3 testing as planned with no serious side effects reported the mayor of moscow hopes the 1st batches will be produced either by november or december and perhaps this time around the authorities will have an advantage on keeping new infections low. a spot has broken out between authorities in madrid the spanish government to reimpose lockdown measures on the city and its surrounding areas the region is the country's worst hit by cope with 19 and accounts for more than a 3rd of infections but local administrators say that the new blog is illegal and violates freedoms. well i can tell you is there we have to act with determination to take control of the pandemic in the majeed region read up and this is the most important thing we have to do in this moment because health comes 1st. we believe this document contains decisions that concern the entire national health system and

above all the fundamental rights and freedoms of millions of people the minister is imposing measures that go against the will of many citizens are well under the new restrictions residents of madrid will not be allowed to leave the area unless they have to make an essential journey social gatherings will be limited to 6 people while restaurants they'll have to close by 11 pm and parks and playgrounds will be made off limits the measures are already led to mass protests more than 2000 people gathered to denounce them on friday protesters pushed rubbish bins into the road and chanted slogans demanding freedom we asked residents in madrid what they think of the new law down. the regulator turn it into a political war airplane with us and they should be aware that they have to see this is a pandemic not a political one but i think there is a real threat and this could be improved a lot if the necessary measures are taken with more transport put on to avoid grounding. if you lock people up at home for the virus for the flu for

a cold everything will get better but people don't have anything to eat you just have to take a walk through madrid to see the shops are all closed people will eventually have to grow their own potatoes because i don't know what we're going to eat at madrid closes again. the f.b.i. has released a new short film which demonstrates the dangers they claim of chinese intelligence recruitment however the propaganda star video reminded many of the methods used by the us and u.s.s.r. during the cold war level but explains. it's the latest hollywood thriller complete with a catchy soundtrack and a script that keeps you on edge however it's meant to be informative it's not a feature film this half hour movie was created by the f.b.i.

to warn you about chinese intelligence and its efforts to recruit this is someone targeted on raven who may have sent classified information to chinese intelligence . like many blockbusters it's based on a true story a former cia officer was sentenced to 20 years in prison for passing along information to the chinese now the f.b.i. says that this video is meant to educate the public and alert them about the threat of foreign intelligence recruitment as this movie highlights foreign intelligence services are posing as head hunters and consultants and professional networking sites to aggressively target americans we believe it's critically important to educate the public in order to need to as this threat from foreign intelligence services well we've seen all those old newsreels talking about the red menace it looks like the propagandists are still in business years later trying to.

devise i'm sure. russia had occupied many new territories bringing additional millions of people under communist control who's to say the chinese can't strike back they've got hollywood scenes of their own the. really. really good a little group of them and they just listen to your sim you. the usa nor china has actually declared a new cold war but everyone is buzzing about it and the issue of our cold war is the foreign minister suggested it's not just our writings saying that is this a new cold war we've heard for example u.k. officials are china and the united states headed for

a new cold war or is it going to be a hot war the u.n. is even getting in on the hysteria or should we call it in a stealth we must do every scene for the new cold war. we are moving into a very dangerous zone action own world cannot afford the future would be too much as the economies split the globe in a great fraction each with its own freedoms financial rules and the internet and not official intelligence capacities yes many of us heard stories from our parents about hiding under their desks in school during civil defense drills the cold war has a special place in american history and now with dueling propaganda films and talk of a red menace from china it seems that the cold war is back the good old days well perhaps we've forgotten how potentially dangerous it is. r.t. new york. we spoke to politics professor joseph gregory mahoney who says the u.s.

china cold war is already upon us. if we if we follow reports of majority opinions among business leaders and policy makers that there will be likely a war between china and us within the next 10 years so i think that again this is part of the. negative messaging that we see with trump but there is also some credibility that it is an issue that the u.s. wants to check ahead of future conflict we already see many people agree a cold war and tech a cold war growing and frictions between us and china and other countries and international organizations as the u.s. turns against multilateralism some people a lot of people in the d.c. area believe that we're already in a hot cyber war. 3 german intelligence offices and one police work to stand accused of far right activity online the 4 were involved in various

investigations including monitoring right wing extremism they said videos with anti islamic xenophobia content it's only the latest such case weeks ago 29 police officers were suspended for sharing neo nazi images in private what some groups you spoke with of a surly member of germany's left party he says extremism must be rooted out of germany security apparatus. i don't think the police is actually the biggest problem i think the problem is with the security services they have the opportunity to for example read your mail and pull up lists of addresses of nearly all the citizens in the state and this is how it can be very dangerous right wing extremists of all crimes should be to saul and completely replace a new institution that from the ground up is democratic and its purpose and its math is you have to destroy it to static racism and fascism in germany security

apparatus. say with this coming your way in 30 minutes. or. so it seems wrong. to me. yet to see a pallet these days that's ahead and in against it because the trail. find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. always gauge with.

any conversation or start answering questions just. to survive. you're more likely to walk free if you're rich. or if you're poor. you got. one now. so you should be seen in here and a whole lot more than you're saying if you don't take that advice.
