when we have to leave it has been like this. party reports from the. strikes have destroyed a hospital and residential buildings still it is between armenia and azerbaijan over the territory are into the 7th day. and it's a town just outside the disputed area and main conflict. presidents and back you tell us they support their country's military operations i am originally from karabakh and ready. we will win the land back and soon as. he will go to karabakh. his move to a military hospital as a precautionary measure to testing positive for corona virus the speculation runs

wild the implications of his affection for the 2020 presidential race. and emanuel micron unveiled plans to counter the miss separatism with a new law defending secular values critics slam it as a desperate bid to mask his failings doing the pandemic. good morning and thanks for joining us here on r.t. . we start with the deadly standoff between armenia and azerbaijan on europe southern border with asia in the latest development armenia is reporting 3 hours or by johnny warplanes have been shot down in the nagorno-karabakh conflict. in walla hospital the region's capital was hit by an air strike and there are unconfirmed reports of casualties the hospital was treating soldiers they've since been evacuated from the area several residential buildings were also hit in the strike

but these are just on the reports from the same. city would witness one of the worst bombings of the planet the city which is the capital of nagorno-karabakh the disputed region here right behind the hospital it was bombed literally just minutes before we arrived here we actually had to had to hide in a bomb shelter and right after that we're right here it's all dark but it's all down because they want it to be so delicate because well this is this is a matter of defense they make it more fully on board our. every day when we have to leave but we're being told that this right here right here we see ambulances rushing. it has been like this all day that. is being born as well as the like

a very large round of being called. 'd better at least this is what the defense ministry of armenia is telling us we're. going to get in and get in the way that this is the epicenter of one of the explosions that has battered stomach air tonight this has to be a shock now c it seems like it has been devastated just shattered glass from google because shattered glass windows are broken in fact look at this just managed to. pull it off there are boxes of there are boxes of stuff just something that i'm not even sure if it used to be the 1st song on the floor of. the manager just put in the back wall to take you to actually treat i give you. i can let you grab. something that looks like your due order and. now it's easy come easy go

it's like the welcoming side former road is all this is worth the portrait of a good. thing for those people live here all the dirty looks of it used to live on the old. talk a lot of it really did damage there is good most significant i mean. there's one thing that i have to tell you there was no reason for us here by john to head this place. residents of the building you just saw run for cover into the basement steering the raid they told us what the experience was like. we were all at home and was obama in a cloud of smoke out of smoke and the moment and the windows have been shot at the manage to climb down yeah well of course i was in my room i was going to take me out when there was a loud bang it wasn't there there was one massive impact i suppose of rubble doris retard their hinges and windows shattered there isn't much left of the house really people were killed and wounded although we don't know the exact number they were

taken away i guess the number is around 5 to 7 people. you care about conflict is one of several border disputes still unresolved since the collapse of the soviet union the enclave populated mainly by all means broke away from us or by john in 1908 split the area itself has not been widely recognized as a sovereign state. has also seen sizable damage on friday a border region was hit by shelling that destroyed the building the well in the capital citizens have been showing support for the military action local journalists fatah live reports from space includes images of military strikes. we're. going to go and meet the wrong 9 pm you'll see of course you thank police want to score goals for our fight ask you for one song. and our get 5 leads and you've got to go on the special line for michele

norris are quite enthusiastic people out there waiting for the full time cue. to say that. you will seek a thing or. you'll be helping the decision process so i support the army so you can see the national flags that they hang outside their house or just their thank you the card. let's listen to some of them for d.s. creations out expectations. i'm originally from carol i'm ready to go down by wearing my head i'm going to areas where the fighting is if they call me i'm ready to go to ruin bush for the simple to say much i think we will win the land back as soon as possible and he will go to karabakh and put off life there he's the only our people and soldiers can take our lands back people are not chinese if i look he feels motivated and wants to help our troops are going to have

a negative attitude to going where young people go into the war there minus a surrender not only. on service the mobilization and consequences they. stated. 100000 young people. came to the. service. it's pretty decide to join the army or something to coverage of something national t.v. or congress and online media. outlets so we can see that absolute majority of the coverage. the most prosperous and cool. little trump has been moved to the wall to read hospital as a precautionary measure of the testing positive for corona virus the president says he's doing ok in the show the video thanking supporters. over think everybody for the tremendous support i'm moving to walter reed hospital are going to. we're

going to make sure the 1st lady is doing. so with thank you very much very appreciated. white house doctors say the president is experiencing mild symptoms including a low grade fever he doesn't need oxygen support but has started antiviral therapy and number of people close to trump of also recently tested positive the white house says the president will carry only ms rowe but many of his political opponents are hoping he wasn't a liberal but explains. talk of an october surprise a game changing event that comes right before us election has been pretty common in the united states for the past several decades well this year's october surprise is here it came in the form of a positive coded 19 test for donald trump and the 1st lady the nation is in shock the white house knew that hope it suggests a positive and the president had been in close contact with her yet he proceeded to

still travel yesterday. he is not able to fully perform his his duties as commander in chief we were seeing people without masks regularly we're seeing people stopping to not socially distancing they stop taking temperatures for people who are regular visitors to the white house and we have seen that it has ended up in the worst case scenario for the white house donald trump got tested after it was confirmed that his staffer hope it said been infected the results came in and it was pretty clear at that point that the campaign is now curving in a new direction now let's not forget that donald trump actually downplayed the covert. 19 threat and even mocked joe biden for being more cautious looks like by april you know in theory when it gets a little warmer miraculously goes away i hope that's true we have a very much going to grow right here in the united states is lowest in numerous categories were lower then the world they wanted me to come out and screw

people and dying with no no 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 a great job democrats jumped on donald trump's diagnosis to once again call him out for mis handling the crisis going into crowds unmasked and all the rest of the sort of a brazen invitation for something like this to happen they have not done so in the past the administration must now fully the science and all recommended health person in order to not put additional people at risk and they must be completely transparent some of the reactions have gotten rather ugly it's been against my moral identity to tweet this for the past 4 years but i hope he dies the 2nd scheduled debate intended for the discussion of foreign policy remains up in the

air even if donald trump doesn't get too badly sick he'll still be under quarantine now let us not forget that donald trump is 74 years old and overweight he is in a high risk group for home cove it can be lethal but i want to really trust the information coming out of the white house you have no idea how sick you 74 years old he's overweight he's in a high risk group and he may become us to view early ill the few 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 mechanism 6 lamely slow. extremely inefficient and maybe faulty and decide it's hard to believe they have to proceed taking over the white house but if that's what they are the last may very well happen she does situation as unprecedented the us is that right to a period of extreme trauma oil things were all the trouble lot of stuff as they were now they are doubly so. over

a dozen campaign rallies have now been canceled so how will the public react will there be sympathy for donald trump now that he's been infected or will this be seen as further confirmation of the democrats' argument that he lacks clear judgment only the voters can answer that question. r.t. new york. french president is proposing a new law to fight radical islam and so-called religious separatism in the new micro made that announcement in a speech on friday claiming that islam is in crisis disturbed. islam is a religion that's a single crisis today all over the world countries people who don't just see it in how do you lose a deep crisis that is linked tensions are between fundamentalists the mahdi civically between religious and political projects that says we have seen to radicalism even in countries where islam is the majority religion would you measure

the law targets what it calls enemies of friends islam is separatists and terrorist strikes foreign financing of mosques and religious schools ratchets up surveillance of groups and individuals suspected of separatism it's provoked some negative reactions among french politicians. didn't speak of separatism and republican cohesion he spoke only excessively stigmatizing muslims is his only way of hiding his calamitous management of the health and social crisis revolting. we were expecting a speech on separatism but the bluer has become singular and mr mccraw speech was exclusively devoted to islam and islam islam as if the republic was threatened only by the excesses of a tiny minority micron evokes the degradation of life and working class neighborhoods and the organization of islam but his proposals still to be specified are only on islam and nothing else it's not just believe but also citizens who want equal rights. the law comes in the midst of a social crisis in france

a recent poll found 40 percent of french muslims for their faith the boards of the republic mostly think like they're under 25 years old french journalist on a better day he says micron's policy as part of his reelection campaign. it's clear that emanuel macross trying to turn his stance when it comes to defending the values of the republic he's trying to please the traditional rate which believes that this is a priority and thinks that it's an issue that needs addressing and to some extent he's trying to please supporters of the national rally who are also very keen on this topic and cannot be ruled out that this law against islamic separatism is part of his election strategy and in the end with 18 months to go before the end of his presidential term such tactics are justified. france's president has also drawn criticism this week meddling in the crisis in lebanon that's one of a number of international situations he's got himself involved in prompting

accusations of over bishop in paris picks up the story. initial over 3 years on the world stage france's president not corn has apparently become the go to man ladies and gentlemen my my my 1st miss each he said france is back france is back at the core of for europe. it's up to you to write your history but the role of from says to be in a friendship by your side from syria to libya wrong to the son hell mccaughan has fingers in many pies high profile interventions have kept the international media fixated on him but as bold as they have been many of his cause celeb a seemingly in tractable this week alone he's been asked to mediate in belarus called for a cease fire in conjunction with russian president putin between as a by shaan and armenia and made his feelings over recent well known developments in

lebanon for all his efforts how much success has he achieved we have a president who resists sort of. being in politics today. to go to sleep. each time he proposed mediation each time he proposed a conference or something that i doubt but. no one success until now on the result for example we were active on leave and no use there is no result we were active and there was no result we want to be active in belarus for the moment of course no result lebanon is a particularly sought issue when much corn arrived in beirut in the days following those deadly blasts he hoped to instigate change he made pull the lawns he wanted an interim government appointed fresh elections and an audit of the national bank

we need a new political initiative and i'm here to bring her good progress. your plan an international initiative to bring money and out directly to people and he broke the mold reaching out and holding talks with hezbollah that now backfired. we welcome president book ron as a friend who loves lebanon and wants to help lebanon get out of its crisis but the reason no authorization for the french president or anyone else to be guarding georgia must of been on the list for some experts his intervention smacked of hypocrisy i definitely don't think that he can succeed in lebanon and not least because france doesn't control lebanon but also because his position on lebanon is contradictory with his other stated. positions for example when he went to algeria a few years ago he said that colonialism was a crime against humanity well if it was

a crime against humanity then it surely wrong today for the french president to try to. to control the government of lebanon from paris last year as france hosted the g. 7 summit not call got the nod to negotiate with iran as tensions between the gulf state and the u.s. looked ready to spiral out of control he pulled out all of the stops even flying the iranian foreign minister to the summit to hold talks u.s. president trump though appeared to be less enthusiastic about the situation this is the british you know force of the big foreign ministers you. know needless to say despite mackerels best efforts the u.s. and iran remain polar opposites no one macro has been busy trying to fix up the world he's also found himself into hot water there was a spat with the brazilian president his bromance with trump crashed and burned and

he called nato brain. dead and then there is his relationship with turkey's president bush will love me to remind you of my statement last year on nato being brain dead i think this is the best example of it into nato members are confronted with the situation we are seeing and denouncing it it's intolerable let you see the turkey has drilling practices in the exclusive economic zone of cyprus that are today on acceptable and it is multiplying provocations the don't represent the dignity of a great state no one can dispute that corn has been. in his undertakings he wants to make sure that france holds on to its international clout but for all his efforts some might be left wondering if he has perhaps more than he can chew charlotte r.t.

paris. a lonely british widower has been overwhelmed by new friendships from around the world after he put the poster in his window during long we'll meet him after the break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the jerry thinks. we dare to ask.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. a lovely widow or widower in the u.k. put up a poster in his window saying that he was looking for friends and to his surprise he was saved an overwhelming response. he spoke with us we spent probably one on the whole of those sometimes 2 eating.

drinking conversing and that was a neat thing it was in the cajun. and now i don't have that. you with us. tony williams lost his wife to cancer cheering the cave at 19 not down after 3 decades together but as is increasingly common for the older generation the loneliness that came with losing a longtime partner was devastating after my lovely wife died i found not only of her loss the love this person i've ever met. but i was on my own i was in an area i had no friends or family i was absolutely isolated put a couple of virgins in the local paper but i didn't get in taters i had some cards printed a sort of introduction to myself although i distributed 29 nobody

phone back the next thing was i had a poster printed put it up in my window had trouble is very few people walked past my window more than a 1000000 older people like tony can go for over a month without speaking to anyone a situation only worsened by lockdown but the media took up tony's cause and he was inundated with support the lovely thing was. not so much the quantity the quality the lovely messages from all over the world a heartbreaking tale with a heartwarming ending not quite as many have found before him media fame can take a dark turn with an inevitable public backlash that backlash came from tony's neighbors who told me they were his friends and there for him in his time of grief they claimed the media circus was all a sham and the apparent rift with the people who call themselves his friends has ironically make tony more lonely than ever and some of them showing real anger

about this to my face and some don't talk to me and i can't do anything about that this week i've decided to go there's 2 things in this 1st of all the awful associations with moving here you're becoming ill joe going into hospital and then coming home and coming home to die i can't think of this place except in those terms but also because people have misunderstood my motivation so that's another reason for moving away it seems tony and his neighbors have differing ideas of what true friendship looks like i was looking for something. called friendship. real friendship now a friend to me is some of the you would immediately think of to go down the pub or to go on holiday with or if you're a mountain earring you'd want them on the end of the rope because your life depends

on it that is a friend some do you trust implicitly child adult stash d r t u k is time share so interest the older generations that can feel isolated during lockdown so says the mayor of middlesbrough has rejected new restrictions in the u.k. we spoke to him. government announced to extraordinary short notice they certainly didn't communicate with us at all a range of measures to try and protect people release measures went way beyond what was necessary and they're actually going to stifle all kinds of problems and of course thousands potentially thousands of job losses because it damaged mental health and are going to break down some of the elements of society that are really important cherish health doesn't necessarily just means physical health it means mental health and mental health is severely impacted when you cannot even stand in your garden and have a coffee to meet with from a neighbor because that's what's coming your mental health suffers when you lose your job or your partner does or your parents by the way physical health will

suffer with these new rules 2 people will not go out they will not interact they will not mix so a lot of people get a lot less exercise. than you strictures also affect liverpool warrington hartlepool they include a ban on people different households mixing indoors interacting outdoors isn't banned but also isn't advised and on the essential travel is allowed the middle of their stance on the measures has been heavily criticised the community sector branded his words irresponsible disappointing when the mess colleagues on the town council called them reckless and depressed and again says taking the pandemic seriously so i'm not soft on colbert i want to control it but we have to find a way of allowing the life to go on mental health to be ok and physical health to be ok what we do know from our local experts is that 80 percent in fact just over 80 percent of all coked infections are happening within the home so we agree with

the government that it temporary restriction on socialising or is a really good idea but categorically that should not spill out to your garden similarly. we wanted to make sure that our venues are very well run and we want to make sure that people could meet for a bite to eat a cup of tea maybe even a beer in a safe well run environment in a socially just setting none of those 3 environments none of those 3 things are intrinsically risky so we feel that the government is important some that goes way beyond what was necessary. ok or today don't forget to check out more stories on the website as well but come. classed as american citizen but he didn't want to stop spying.

on the other. guy and i think. i would vote for a republican over trump i would vote for anyone who is not and has half a brain defeat don't try. to feed. my 2nd wife. she can handle. she and i divorce because our trouble is elected president and i floated for her and she can't stand for. the most important election. in our history list of the months to go before the next presidential election how is the atmosphere in the us now. want of the highest priority programs how will they vote which they do next not. just some of the questions we put to the american.

max kaiser this is the kaiser report well we've got another scandal or is it a scandal i'm not sure sure it is a scandal could be a big nothing burger not sure people say that anymore but it deftly qualifies as a nothing burger i think stacy well once again kaiser report was right we were right 4 years ago on this whole tax story regarding trump's tax returns but i want to say you know this fits in this with the theme that we've been covering here and

on orangeville pod cast every sunday which is that the the real world out in the real world outside of the beltway outside of california silicon valley washington d.c. new york manhattan like outside of those locations the world is actually pretty fine and people are not hysterical and it is not as hysterical as what you might see on the cable news where it is all entertainment this is gladiator style delivery of the news and it's hyperventilating and screeching it's not really like that if you look down deeper that there is a calm ockham's razor sort of natural explanation for most stories so back in 2016 everybody was like why is trump trying to hide his tax returns well this is what the mainstream media the cable news who since this point of 2016 have been empowered to determine for all the.
