is there such as. probably the heaviest shelling. the main city in the. conflict between our media. our correspondent is in. the militants from the middle east and north africa are being brought into. the. trade. the president trump is suffering in symptoms after he and the 1st lady test. for.

islamist separatism through a new law. broadcasting from the russian capital this is our team. alone welcome to the program. we start with the deadly standoff between armenia and azerbaijan in the south caucuses 2 large explosions have been heard within the past couple of hours in the disputed province of nagorno-karabakh earlier the region's main city was a year and locals have been hearing the regular sound of air raid sirens. several buildings have been damaged including the emergency ministry where the

windows were shattered and holes blown through the walls the armenian defense ministry has blamed azerbaijan for the euro strike its army units on full combat in iraq. has not confirmed or denied the bombing raids and has itself seen sizable damage a border region was hit by mortar fire several buildings were destroyed by. reports now from nagorno-karabakh. has come under probably the heaviest shelling since we arrived here 2 massive explosions in the very center of the city usually what we could hear what we could see the smoke from the explosions on the outskirts in the suburbs this is the very city center and moreover this is the building of the ministry of emergencies so it has been obliterated i mean look look at this everything is gone windows are gone the whole wall there's a hole in the whole wall and it's not just this building there's

a whole complex it's a large it's a large complex and it's everywhere like this obliterated not raised to the ground but it's gone i don't see any way how it can be fixed all renovated we don't know what we don't know what exactly caused the explosion but we didn't hear any sirens and sirens so probably wasn't a drone but some really heavy artillery and with a very long range as well but we have to go they are telling us it's not safe because sometimes as the azerbaijanis are using these so-called double tap so that they not only they destroy the building but also they kill soldiers who arrived here we've arrived here with the soldiers as well so we have to go this is the crater that was made by one of the rockets and this is a piece from a the military here is telling me that this is a 250 caliber 250 millimeter caliber so it is a massive rocket they don't know exactly what it is they're telling me these these

are not laws but that this one is also israeli made. you've done a film the ground well for journalists were injured in shelling attacks in the car park in whedon's they 2 of them are french reporters were airlifted to europe on for treatment as you can see here they're not back in france on thursday as well a car carrying 4 other reporters including russians was hit by shell fire but no one was injured. while the conflict is one of several border disputes still on resolved really since the collapse of the soviet union the enclave populated mainly by armenian christians broke away in 1908 from azerbaijan which is majority muslim but the area has not been widely recognized as a sovereign state. another element to all this turkey says it's ready to give military support to its ally azerbaijan if they need it although claims it

hasn't asked for any help in all the french president has accused turkey of funneling the militants from syria into the conflict zone and the money will much more nato member state turkey house crossed the red line when all our media are both accusing each other all of using mercenaries. there is much historic evidence for minas use of terrorists and mercenaries during the occupation of nagorno-karabakh and adjacent regions of their beach on their menial leadership continues this policy today mercenaries are pumped into the conflict zone disguised as volunteers according to our information about 4 found militants have recently been deployed by turkey from syria to azerbaijan they are already fighting for azerbaijan they are trained in militant camps and then transferred or just to give the international dimension to this russia france the us have urged the warring sides to end the fighting they have call for negotiations of valving the o.s.c. minsk group which has been overseeing peace efforts there for the past 3 decades

turkey though rejected calls for a truce president obama said he hopes will continue its offensive until carlebach is freed from what he calls 'd the armenian occupation armenia accused azerbaijan of using cluster munitions in car a bike has published photos allegedly proving it has not yet responded to that allegation both sides have released a string of videos to back up their claims of tuck tickle victories but are making contradictory claims about the damage inflicted. looks now at her decision from a she has become one of a key weapons in the standoff. deception and full scale aims 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 past battles as new ones the goal was to present their failures to the population as successes the ongoing conflict in the want to care about is an example of how information is deployed just as powerfully on 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 in 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 through everything all possible weapons into battle and even fakes and falls 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 talkie in azerbaijan denounce this is laws 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 or a bridge on his side did not publish any images of the strikes and their mean 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 asian and 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 fast to wash away all that is not gold then you will find your shining not get well when it comes to car that's still a lot of sifting through the muddy river of misinformation to be done before we even get close to the truth. to another story getting

a lot of reaction today the french president is proposing a new law to fight radical islam and religious separatism emanuel mccrum maybe announcement in a speech on friday charlotte typically takes up the story for us. this has been long awaited how the french government would seek to defend the country's secular values against radical islam present like on friday has set out his stall establishing a religion. islam is a religion that is in crisis today all over the world we don't just see it in our country it is a deep crisis that is linked to tensions between fundamentalism specifically between religious and political projects that says we have seen lead to radicalism even in countries where islam is the majority religion well the draft glory's due to be presented in december and it will seek to strengthen the secularism here in france now present much ringback talked about france liberating is

from foreign influences and some of the ways it intends to do this with this law will be for example more oversight in how mosques here or funded there will be stricter scrutiny of schools and associations that solely serve religious communities and when it comes to homeschooling which is rather popular amongst the muslim community that will only be allowed when there are health related issues involved sometimes they do not receive any education but go to unofficial structures very simple structures walls with no windows children who arrive at 8 am every day and who leave a 3 pm women in carbs welcome them and teach only prayers and certain classes that's their teaching there was immediate reaction on social media to president michel speech with many decrying it. the destruction of france has been written by

the hands of the president of france crown houses them in crisis all over the world today do you realize is the leader of a nation the ramification of your words especially on french citizens who follow islam mccann's latest comment on crisis and islam as nothing other than a shill to the crisis in europe of their identity and liberal is on the other hand many people feel that this is needed to stop a slide away from france's secular values it has forced the country in the last few years with the terror attacks that france is seen to take stock of what its core republican values are and some of the things that have come out have been concerning to many french people for example a recent poll found that 3 quarters almost 3 quarters of the young muslims under the age of $25.00 thought that their values of islam were more important than the french republic and that really worried many people just in the last week we saw

fresh terror attack here in paris and the man who carried out that attack did so because he was unhappy with the satirical magazine charlie ever don't we publishing controversial cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammed and the idea of islam and how that sits with those values of secularism in the french republic is a thorny issue will this still the debate or will it settle it well that's yet to be seen. let's move aside from there where the regional authorities in madrid have launched a legal challenge against the spanish government's new lockdown order filed an appeal in the national court claiming there are 3 measures violet local laws on self rule will cause all necessary economic harm the madrid area has one of the highest crime a virus infection rates in spain and the health minister insists the shutdown is on avoidable. well i can tell you is that we have to act with determination to take

control of the pandemic in the madrid region 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. longer the new restrictions residents in 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 pretty common in other areas as well bars and restaurants they're going to have to shut by 11 pm parks playgrounds they're off limits to the measures have already led to mass protests over 2000 people gathered to denounce them last friday protesters pushed rubbish bins into roads and chanted slogans the mounting freedom of the trade residence what they think about the new law. at the ready to turn it into

a political war they're playing with us and they should be aware that they have to see this is a pandemic not a political war 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 if madrid closes again. the united states sounds imposed sanctions on 8 belorussian officials including the interior minister over the country's disputed election earlier the e.u. had blacklisted 40 belorussians in response to allegations of election rigging and violence against protesters minsk responded in kind with measures against the list of european officials our europe correspondent peter all of hers in berlin with

more details. it was a long time coming but the european union have agreed sanctions on belorussian officials following orcus disputed election the reason for the delay was a standoff between cyprus and pretty much the rest of the e.u. bloc cyprus wanted to see action taken against turkey over and krizz exploration for energy resources off its coast before it would agree to any form of sanctions against bella ruse that action against turkey that was agreed eventually and therefore they were able to proceed with the better russian sanctions so dozens of senior officials 40 in total will be. facing sanctions this is to do with them they being accused of falsifying election results and a crackdown on protests following not election back in august now notably absent from this list is you gaze bell russian president alexander shank and his name not

being there is raised a few eyebrows however underlying the e.u. commission president says these sanctions send the right message there will be no impunity for those who are responsible for the crackdown on demonstrators and opposition politicians sunni important is this a clue for the 3 since we are critical and we repeat that we would like to to to consider the people of the have the rights to do to mean what's the only future french president emanuel microamp back not putting sanctions on belarusian president alyaksandr lukashenko saying that if they did that they could see him retreat into a bunker mentality and refuse any future talks angela merkel the german chancellor said the result came after a long night of discussions but called this a real step forward minsk for their part they aren't happy about this at all as you

would imagine they say that no nation. on the planet would've agreed to the demands that were being made of it by the european union and that they'll be countering the sanctions with sanctions of they were saying sions have been imposed as a punitive measure for the belorussian failure to comply with a set of ultimatum requirements that not a single self respecting sovereign state would ever meet moscow which has a key role to play in the future of belarus to to the longstanding and close ties between the 2 countries has responded to the news of the sanctions to meet the press goal of the kremlin spokes person less than impressed with the move made by brussels if these sanctions are a manifestation of weakness not of strength and could be included on the list that would have deprived the e.u. the chance to maintain dialogue including on topics of interest to both sides we have a very negative attitude toward sanctions in general the u.k. and canada both announce sanctions against belarus previously the u.k.

issued a asset freeze against alexander lukashenko the reason for this delay from the european side it is a touch embarrassing and highlights some splits within the union it requires unanimity to impose sanctions for the e.u. to impose sanctions on a nation basically the baltic states and in particular lithuania were demanding action immediately while cyprus said no no no hang on there we'll get to your problem once ours is sorted so belorussian officials 40 of them in total will have sanctions placed upon them notably absent from that list though alexander lukashenko. among the reaction we got to this story was from geo political analyst reiner roughnesses says that any sanctions are likely to have a knock on effect on the public at large. so i think it's just a game of slightly stepping up the tone against.

against look i think oh and i see the difficulty that. usually when we have reached a stage of sanctions once it's like a one way road and we will never 3 never get out of it so we can take years and that was sanctions 1st may harm or amaze seem to harm the political elite but in the end we know from enough experience in this world iraq syria venezuela and cetera that it's the normal people it's most of all the poor people who are hit very very severely by those sanctions as soon as they got really tough. president trump is suffering mild symptoms after testing positive for corona virus that's now been confirmed by the white house the u.s. president and the 1st lady have both contracted the virus which just over an hour one month to go before the presidential election earlier at my colleague neil

harvey discussed the developments with scott the cute. 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 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 what 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 systematic as of now and only took the test because of a closeness that he had to hoe pics after he tested positive herself as she said a symptom of the must be some implications so when it comes to his campaigning how

he's going to fight what he would normally be doing in his bid to style this president the campaign is very much alive and on on task considering it's $32.00 days the president has stopped all campaigning there all of it that he was going to be attending as evan now has declared his schedule only one happening at 1215 today he's got a phone call from the white house and on other 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 a 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 able to meet the specific guidelines as of now they are too negative a test to do 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 that's supposed to be happening and nashville tennessee on october 22nd as well all of these can be pushed on the one thing that cannot be pushed off however is the actual election day which is november 3rd it has never happened in history and take it through a 3rd to vote by congress to change the election day and congress has not gotten along very well on any issue i left i'd be very highly doubtful that they would change it even on this journalist and or 3rd done the oh let's are told us on this stage there's plenty of uncertainty really remaining and we're terms of actual condition no one really trusting of actually coming out of the white house you have no idea how secure is essentially 4 years old he's overweight he's a high risk group and he may become a severely 'd ill or bay even die the fee goes into intensive care the way boris johnson did in april that could lead to a constitutional question as to who actually will run the white house and the

constitutional mechanisms that stream least slow extremely inefficient and maybe faulty in design it's hard to believe nancy pelosi taking over the white house but it's that's what the law says so it may very well happen the situation is unprecedented the u.s. is that drawing to a period of extreme turmoil things were already turbulent enough as they were now they are doubly so. is are a lot from the new studio for none but next a school lesson and a half from western africa he is the teacher with all the moves on this got the best class attendance record in ghana or short documentary done said you cation begins in moments don't miss it. we did a survey just about a month into the pandemic and found that people said they lost 35 minutes

a day less to unwanted interruptions at home which was kind of a surprise because you know with all the things that are going on at home right now this is not the best times to be to be doing it. and so that's one element the other element is they tend to get back 50 percent of the time that they would have otherwise spent commuting. birdsall ahead. or behind or if you're the bus so you. are going. to have it is that you. just showed you the commercial good. consumer i'm going to move. but never manage to finish it oh my gosh go from home will be. a god since we.

need to be the only. system definition in. the midst of them run to. 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 is the land of opportunity the reality of it is that we're not financially equality and i'm not comfortable housing or living minimum wage give many people no choice. that's been a problem with the city and always turn out in the cold to stay way out almost. it's worth it if there is no answer because yes that requires resources the most

vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible cops. oh it was you know this is. what i know. now cause. me. and you know. we both can cost. nothing downs because. i love to be down because. i do not sit down it's because of me happy i do not sit down because it makes me happy i do not receive proper. sit

down because it beats. yeah. i mean i think i think. i am. and this is a story from god. about people who just enough to don's. my name is such. a man also shut me down as jackson wanted us in sr i'm joined by she is screwed by leaking all will quote i'm a trainee teacher so what's. good. is good from her mind. that's all thanks who currently.

exists. on math. cause her. for the simple. truth is to. stop tends to. be an artsy screw to fox i see that hamas and i used to teach to make any very easy and also to move squat drugs used to all case will come to school on time and if the opposite. sex. since. to me even. if
