broadcasting live director our studios in moscow this is arch international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us let's just start off with the deadly standoff between armenia and azerbaijan on europe's southern border with asia a hospital has been hit by a large explosion in the disputed province of bach and there are unconfirmed reports of casualties as well earlier 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 through the walls the defense ministry. for the airstrikes and put its army units on full combat alert has not confirmed or denied

the bombing raids. it 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 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 the 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 as a bridge on 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 mile of reports now from baku his piece does include some imagery of

military strikes so bit of warning for you. no one needs to be. you'll see. police what you were doing right now i think you saw. our fine lady and you can take on the special line for mission residents are quite enthusiastic. including the one time i. see. the one with. the negotiation process so i support the army you can see the national flags that hang outside their house or just. thank you all the cars. let's listen to some of them will be asked recently expectations signal and i'm 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 because. i think 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 feels motivated and wants to help our troops. i have a negative attitude to the war young people are going to the war their minions must surrender and leave our lands. servicing mobilization and conscription to a. state. 1000 young people. came to the. service and it's pretty decide to join the army or something because we think national t.v. will come to an online media. outlets so we can see that absolute majority of

the coverage the most prosperous and cold war. the car buck conflict is one of several border disputes still unresolved since the collapse of the soviet union young craver populated mainly by armenians broke away from the 1988. from azerbaijan rather but the area has not been widely recognized as a sovereign state. switch gears now and go to the united states where donald trump has arrived to a military hospital for quote a few days after earlier testing positive for covert 1000 the hospital being walter reed now the us president has were reportedly suffering mild symptoms and will undergo tests at the medical facility the 1st lady also has coronavirus and a number of top officials have now been tested as well democratic 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 artie's kill

a mop and looks into that for us. morning 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 younger group right here in the united states is lowest in numerous categories were lower then the world they wanted me to come out and screw . with. 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've done agreed with just about a month the 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 that 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 coded 1000 crisis and downplayed the very serious dangers posed by coded going into crowds. and all the rest this sort of a brazen invitation for something like this to happen 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 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 coded 19 so at this point the question remains will the u.s. 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 to daniel is our told us there could be a crisis on capitol hill if trump's condition takes a turn for the worse. no one really trusting of action coming out of the white house you have no idea how sick is a 74 years old he's overweight he's in a high risk group and he may become us to be early 'd ill or may even die if it goes into intensive care the way force johnson did in april that could lead to

a constitutional question as to who actually will run the white house and the constitutional mechanisms extremely slow extremely inefficient and. maybe faulty in design it's hard to believe nancy pelosi taking over the white house but it that's what the law says though it may very well happen the situation is unprecedented the us is that trying 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 fight radical islam and religious separatism menno macron made that announcement in a speech on friday artificial difference does it. our history. being a 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 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 or funded there will be stricter scrutiny of schools and associations that so really religious communities and when it comes to home schooling 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 becomes 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 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 comments on crisis and islam is 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 francis 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 what we clearly see that the manual mark ron is trying to toughen his rhetoric

on the values of the republic he's 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. will become of the program. the russian officials over election rigging claims. but leaves that look at shan't go off the list all details when return this is arch international. is your media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation full community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere. please direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or in may when the shallowness. of the road or the birds or head. go behind when you feel good to say. about an arguer. of it is that you. just showed you the commission did. you see most americans move. the net and

manage to fish you know not just go from home. they are the house when the. god sits. in a manner that i need. to mean the name of. the scandal when you. don't learn. the news. coming through the system definition in. an innocent in the news to him. welcome back desire to international now the original authorities in madrid have launched a legal challenge against 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 oki see what i can tell you is that we have to act with determination to take control of the pandemic in the 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 to 6 people while bars and restaurants will have to close by 11 pm parks and playgrounds are off limits as well and 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 demanding freedom we asked madrid residents what they think about the new lockdown. 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 than a saree 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 and 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 has imposed sanctions on russian officials including the interior minister of the country's disputed election earlier the e.u.

blacklisted 40 belorussians in response to allegations of election rigging and violence against protesters minsk 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 kriz 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 guys the russian president aleksander you to share his name not being there is raised a few eyebrows however the lion 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 through since we are critical and we repeat that we would like to to to consider that 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 belarusian 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 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 core 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. 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 and highlight 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. geo political analyst a ringer office says that any sanctions are likely to have a knock on effect on the public. so i think it's just

a game of slightly stepping up the the tone against. against a location 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 3 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 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 get really tough headlines in 36 and a half minutes is art international stay with us. the

. first presidential debate exhibited lots of life but not much one could argue neither candidate last meet neither one a perfect reflection of the nation's politics could the campaign coming to an end do the debates have any meaningful impact is there such a thing as an undecided vote. and. my name is sucking. on. this jackson wanted on seats which i. put it on you know. who i know. who constitute. the movement you know the night these kids and i use that down sixty's to make any babies you know food to new school on drugs used to focus. on.

who comes before who comes before who comes during his child to fit life a music that. i love to dance because he makes me copy i love to dies because he meets me copy playing beautiful. and wonderful to say it's really nice to. be on. the cloth a spot on fox who loves to do are going to. turn it. on. i don't. everybody's reaching for their. i mean it's a rush and i think the resolution of this is there's going to be

a nasty war that's going to go on for maybe months as you can in an already rejected. to mediate the fighting is too early on that people are now battling to see what territory they can get and i think when the fighting settles down and the lines are drawn and people realize that they're not going to move forward or backwards then they're going to. the other thing is. always be polite never engage with the negative aided or confrontational. don't get into any conversation or start answering questions just ask for an attorney. to survive in terror a geisha. definitely don't want to be going to trial. on cops. you're more likely to walk free if you're rich and guilty

or if you're poor and. you've got 2 eyes and ears and one mouth. so you should be seen here and a whole lot more in your sand if you don't take that advice easy going to dig yourself. as the u.s. economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours 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 the lack of affordable housing for a living minimum wage gave many people no choice you know that's been a problem with the city knows turn around and told me stay. i don't hold this. is no answer because yes that requires resources the most vulnerable are abandoned

on the streets to become invisible comes. on factors financial guy i don't buy any i passed on a few. of the friday as of last summer my ex from the future krakow was kaiser. was a pandemic no certainly no borders and is blind to nationalities. has emerged with the we don't look back seem the whole world needs to be. judged as commentary prices systems. we can do better we should. everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been much so

many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. hello welcome to so think of visionaries may serve the shepherd not the college condemn it has forced the world to embark on a remote work experiment is it merely a test or are a new reality pull it transform working life as we know it by let's find out with kate lister president of global workplace analytics. kate lister president of global workplace analytics great have you with us today. here now with the

pandemic remote working is finally mainstream but how long will this effect last i mean will telecommuting lose momentum up to we're done with the virus i really don't think so i think we've reached a tipping point already 6 percent of the population and this is just going to throw it over you know you're hearing company after company that says they're going to continue this after the pandemic the big thing that changed is that managers are no longer afraid of it that's the thing that's been holding back remote were since the 1970 s. when they were cello work was invented now that they've done it they understand that it's possible and that they can manage people remotely but i'm thinking for instance in assess it is forcing companies to tell their employees to stay home like you sat on the market like we have many different kinds of companies let's say a so-called start up would probably have no.
