broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is r.t. international. certainly good to have you with us now we start with the deadly standoff between armenia and azerbaijan on europe's southern border with asia hospital has been hit by a large explosion in the disputed province of a buck and there are unconfirmed reports of casualties earlier in the region's main city was bombed from the air and locals have been hearing the regular sound of air raid sirens. several buildings were 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 airstrikes and put its army units on full combat alert as i bet john has not confirmed or denied the bombing raids or to reports now from god is known. to panic and 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 which were 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 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 its head 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 are these are not laws but. that this one is also israeli made. about john itself has also seen sizable damage a border region was hit by mortar fire with several buildings destroyed while in the capital citizens have been showing support for the military action local journalist is male of fatah you have a report now from back owen just a bit of a warning his piece does include some imagery of military strikes.

in the long beach the night you'll see the. police and what you were doing was kind of. our find. this mission the line for mission. quite enthusiastic. including the one time. negotiation process so quite supportive will be army you can see the national march that the. fight there now this. time the cars. let's listen to someone. else recent expectations signal i am originally from carol i'm ready to defend my land i have been to areas where the fighting is if they call me i'm ready to go to war. we will win the

lands back as soon as possible and we will go to karabakh and put our flag there only our people and soldiers can take our lands back people are not tired everybody who is motivated and wants to help our troops. i have a negative to do to that were young people into the war their minions must surrender and leave only once. the service the mobilization and conscription for the. speed. 1000 young people. came to the. service. did you know if you joined the army confronting the coverage of national t.v. or congress and online media. outlets we can see that absolute majority will become rich. because it wasn't by john and paul who were the carter buck conflict

is one of the several border disputes still unresolved sense of the collapse of the soviet union the enclave populated mainly by armenians broke away in 1988 from azerbaijan but the area has not been widely recognized as a sovereign state. us now where donald trump has arrived to a military hospital walter reed for quote a few days after earlier testing positive for covert 19 u.s. president is reportedly suffering mild symptoms and will undergo tests at the medical facility the 1st lady also has quite a virus and a number of top officials have been tested as well now democrat rival joe biden was among them his results came back negative the white house says mr trump will continue in his role but what happens if the situation deteriorates and he's come up and looks into that for us. this is pretty big news trump is in a high risk group as he is overweight and 74 years old now many are pointing out that donald trump has somewhat downplayed the danger of covert 19 over the past few

months looks like by april you know in theory when it gets a little warbird miraculously goes away i hope that's true we have a very much rather good right here in the united states is lowest in numerous categories were lower than the world they wanted me to come out and screw . with. so we did it just the right way now we're weeks away from a vaccine we're doing therapeutics already fewer people are dying when they get sick far fewer people are dying we don't agree with just about a month left until the presidential election is to take place on november 3rd this is a pretty dramatic event to have the president of the united states testing positive for covert 19 now dozens of campaign rallies have been canceled now a debate was scheduled to take place in the following 2 weeks a debate with joe biden in which the president and joe biden would debate issues of

international and foreign policy however it's unclear what will be happening with that debate as we proceed the democrats have been quick to criticize donald trump and say that he has mishandled the code. 1000 crisis and downplayed the very serious dangers posed by coded going into crowds unmasked and all the rest this sort of a brazen invitation for something like this to happen though they have not done so in the past the administration must now followed the science and recommended health person in order to not put additional people who risk and they must be completely transparent media is rampant with speculation about how this could affect the election results now at this point if donald trump were to be unable to perform his duties as president fall ill or die he would be replaced by mike pence or if mike pence were unable to do so by nancy pelosi now both of those individuals are also in the high risk group for coated 19 so at this point the question remains will the

us public become more sympathetic to the president now that he has fallen ill or will they become more outraged about his handling of the coded 19 pandemic that will be seen on november 3rd when u.s. voters head to the polls. journalist a dental is our told us that there could be a crisis on capitol hill if trump's condition takes a turn for the worse. but i want to really trust the information coming out of the white house we have no idea how secure is a 74 years old he's overweight he's in a high risk group and he may become a severely ill or even die if he 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 mechanism 6 dreamily slow extremely inefficient and. maybe faulty in design it's hard to believe nancy pelosi taking over the white

house but it's not just what the law says though it may very well happen the situation is unprecedented the u.s. is that going to a period of extreme turmoil things were already turbulent enough as they were now they are doubly so. french president is proposing a new law to find radical islam and religious separatism emanuel micron made the announcement in a speech on friday aren't you child to take up a story for us. this has been long awaited how the french government would seek to defend the country's secular values against radical islam president lock 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 as 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 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 off funded there will be stricter scrutiny of schools and associations that so 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 the carbs welcome them and teach only prayers and certain classes

that's their teaching there was immediate reaction on social media to present my speech with many decrying it. the destruction of france has been written by the hands of the mole mccrone 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 who is needed to stop the 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 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 stir the debate or will it settle it well that's yet to be seen. we clearly see that the manual mark ron is trying to toughen his rhetoric on the values of the republic he is trying to please the traditional right but also the national rally supporters who are concerned about this issue so this law countering islamic separatism is all part of his election strategy 18 months before

the end of his presidential term. still to come that you slap sanctions on the belorussian officials over election rigging claims but leaves. bush i go off the list all details when we return to such international. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere. direct. what is true what's his face.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallowness. of the road or the birds or head. for behind or to feel good to say. about an arguer. of it is that you. just fitted the commission did. consumer americans move. to nominate to fish you know not just go from home in the. media they are the house from the. god since when. can a man and i need. to mean the name of. the scandal when the.

bill comes through the system definition in. an innocent in our newscycle. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back this is r.t. international now the regional authorities in madrid have launched a legal challenge against of the spanish government's new lockdown order they have filed an appeal in the national court claiming that the measures violate local laws on self rule and will cause unnecessary economic harm the madrid area has one of

the highest corona virus infection rates in spain and the health minister insists the shutdown is unavoidable. you know what i can tell you is that we have to act with determination to take control of the pandemic in the majeed 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. under 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 it to 6 people while bars and restaurants will have to close by a loving pm parks and playgrounds are also also off limits now the measures have already led to mass protests over 2000 people gathered to denounce them on friday protesters pushed rubbish bins into roads and chanted slogans demanding freedom we

asked in madrid residents what they think about the new motto. and they have turned 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 then of sri measures are taken with more transport put on to avoid grounding. if you look 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. united states has imposed sanctions on the russian officials including the interior minister over the country's disputed election earlier the e.u. blacklisted 40 belorussians in response to allegations of election rigging and violence

against protesters responded in kind with measures against a list of european officials artie's peter all of the reports now from berlin. it was a long time coming but the european union have agreed sanctions on belorussian officials following organists 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 an crews 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 his name not being there is raised a few eyebrows however underlying the 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 these are clues 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 to manual microamp back not putting sanctions on television president alexander 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 plan it 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 if 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 2 to the longstanding and close ties between the 2 countries has responded to the news of the sanctions to meet the press corp the kremlin spokes person less than impressed with the move made by brussels if these sanctions are a manifestation of weakness not of strength 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.

young canada both are out 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 it 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 your political analyst arena roughness says that any sanctions are likely to have a knock on effect in the public. so i think it's just a game of slightly stepping up the the tone against.

against look i think coach 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 never get out of it so we can take years and that was sanctions 1st may harm or may 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 or that does it for me this i'll be back in let's say 36 and a half minutes with another look at news the start international. anchor. thank. join me every thursday on the
