a precautionary measure after testing positive for one of ours a speculation runs wild about the implications of this infection with a 2020 presidential race. and emanuel not crawling on bills plans to counter is a missed separatism with a new law the kind of secular values but critics slam it as a desperate bid to mask his failing start and. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our team in moscow let's get started with your life news update. we begin with the deadly standoff between armenia and azerbaijan our correspondent who's in the conflict zone says 3 more explosions have been heard there today earlier during a nighttime bombing raid several residential buildings in the region's capital work hit a hospital that was treating soldiers was also damaged and there are unconfirmed reports

of casualties are reports from the scene. today would witness one of the worst bombings of the planet the city which is the capital of mccormick our bank 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 arrived here it's all dark but it's all done because they wanted to be so delicate because well this is this is a matter of defense they make it more like me all of our. every day when we have to leave we're being told that this right here right here we see ambulances rushing. it has been like this all day but it. is being blown the levels in like

a very large round of the pool. at least this is what the defense ministry of armenia is telling out we have. like that again and again and again. this is the epicenter of one of the explosions that has battered stomach air tonight this could be a shock now it seems like it has been devastated just shattered glass something to heal because shattered glass windows are broken in fact look at this just managed to. pull it off there are boxes of there of boxes of stuff just goes something that i'm not even sure if it used to be of course on the floor of. the manager just put in the back it was all digitally treat i give you i can even go and grab it's looks something that looks like a deodorant. well now it's easy come easy go it's like

a welcoming sign from a road it's well this is where the project was. those people live well here the looks of it you still live in the world round your building and leave the damage there is the most significant i mean look. there's one thing that i have to tell you there was no reason for example to hit this place . residents of that building you just saw ran for cover into their basements during the raid they described to us what they saw and heard. we have all the tall men who have a bomb in a cloud of smoke at the moment and their windows have been shot at the manage to climb down you have a lot of i was in my room i was going to tidy up when there was a loud bang it wasn't bearable there was one massive impact i suppose of rubble doris retard their hinges and windows shattered there isn't much left of the house

. 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. to give you some background the conflict is one of several border disputes still unresolved since the collapse of the soviet union populated mainly by armenians broke away from azerbaijan in 1988 but the area has not been widely recognized as a sovereign state as their leader says 1000 as are bars on these have been killed in the conflict zone with 60 civilians injured and on friday hostilities spilled beyond the confines of the disputed territory when a border and as area town was bombed azerbaijan claims over 2000 shells were dropped in that raid and its capital people have been showing support for their own military campaign local journalists is modified to leave reports from his piece includes images of military strikes to be warned. partial. putting the old eat the wrong. you'll see the cookie.

police want to put those mark out my uncle so. and people are getting fined late and if they don't have the special line permission to resist are quite enthusiastic people out there waiting for the full time. to say that. the cd case that's been the result. will be of negotiation process so my support of the army you can see the national flags that day hang on i'll find that out for just the norm here thank you card so let's listen to some of them for d.s. christians out it's been a since signal not us 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. i think

we will win the land back as soon as possible and we will go to karabakh and put a flag there only our people and soldiers can take our lands back people are not timed it everybody feels motivated and wants to help our troops. that do not have a negative to do to a group who are young people or go into the war their minions must surrender and leave all and it's. the service the mobilization and constant should be a. 1000 young people. for the service. it's critical if you join the army or something because the national t.v. or congress and online media. outlets we can see that absolute majority of the coverage. was crossed by john and cold war. donald trump has been moved to the walter reed hospital as

a precautionary measure after testing positive for corona virus the president says he's doing ok and has shared a video thanking his supporters. i want to thank everybody for the tremendous support i'm going to walter reed hospital i think i'm doing very well but we're going to make sure the things work the 1st lady is doing very well so thank you very much i appreciate it i will never forget they hear white house doctors say the president is experiencing mild symptoms including a low grade fever he doesn't need oxygen support but has started anti-viral therapy a number of people close to trump have also recently tested positive the white house says the president will carry on in his role but many of his political opponents are hoping he won't scale up and explains. talk of an october surprise a game changing event that comes right before a 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 except tested 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 ics had 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 coded 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 hope that's true we have

a very much so this is right here the united states is lowest in numerous categories were lower than the world that they wanted me to come out and screwy fearful of dying 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. 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 this is sort of a brazen invitation for something like this to happen the president of the united states on her. publicans in minnesota actively spreading a deadly virus they are a risk to the public health of my constituents and our country though they have not done so in the past the administration must now full of 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 and he's 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 is 74 years old he's overweight he's in a high risk group and he may become us to view early ill 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 lamely slow extremely inefficient and.

maybe faulty in design it's hard to believe nancy pelosi taking over the white house but if that's what the the law says though it may very well happen she does situation as unprecedented the u.s. is now trying to a period of extreme turmoil things were already struck be a 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. the french president is proposing a new law to fight radical islam and so-called religious separatism the man on the ground made the announcement in a speech on friday claiming that islam is in crisis. distributivity. islam

is a religion that is in crisis today all over the world and 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. the law targets what it calls the enemies of friends islamist separatists and terrorists it restricts foreign financing of mosques and religious schools and ratchets up surveillance of groups and individuals suspected of separatism but it's provoked some negative reactions among french politicians. mccrum didn't speak of separatism and republican cohesion he spoke only of obsessive li 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 macross speech was

exclusively devoted to islam and islam isn't as if the republic was threatened only by the excesses of a tiny minority micron evokes the degradation of life in 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 that 40 percent of french muslims put their faith above the laws of the republic and most who think like that are under 25 years old french journalists are not but their daddy says micron's policy is likely part of his reelection campaign. well yeah but you have it's clear that emanuel mccraw is trying to toughen 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 it cannot be ruled out 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. russia's environmental regulators are investigating spikes in sea pollution and the country's far east problem was detected off the coast of come chaka it started several weeks ago when surfers in the area fell sick they reported severe eye irritation sore throats najah and fatigue since then people have spotted dead sea life including seals being washed ashore along 40 kilometers of coastline experts took samples and found petro chemical levels in the water were 4 times over the legal limit and also found elevated levels of phenol a toxic chemical and online campaign called save the pacific is now urging the local authorities and environmental groups to establish the source of the pollution and clean up the waters. still ahead

a british widower has been overwhelmed by new friendships from all across the globe thanks to a poster he put up in his window during walked out that story and more after this. the entrepreneurs' 2 are developers like trump they take risks they're risking that these properties could blow up and not be worth anything of value and that's what entrepreneurs do and they get taxed take government gives them tax incentives to be entrepreneurial to be property developers that's what those tax incentives are for to encourage entrepreneurs to go create millions of jobs by being property developers. everybody is reaching for that you. as opposed. to russia 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 john in an already rejected. must goes off to mediate because the fighting is too early on that people are now battling to see what territory they can get and i think when the fighting sentence down and the lines are drawn and people realize that they're not going to move forward or backwards then they're going to to the other. welcome back the mayor of the british city of middlesboro has spoken out against the country's new coronavirus restrictions saying they're doing more harm than good we spoke with him. government announced to extraordinary short notice they certainly didn't communicate with us i saw a range of measures to to try and protect people from these 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 going to damage mental health and are going to break down some of the elements of society that the really important cherished health doesn't necessarily just mean 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 too people will not go out they will not interact they will not mix so a lot of people get a lot less exercise. and the restrictions also affect liverpool warrington and hartlepool they've got a ban on people from different health holds mixing indoors interacting outdoors and banter but also isn't advised either and only essential travel is allowed. and there's words have already been heavily criticised with the community secretary bringing them irresponsible and it preston again insists he's taking the pandemic

seriously. so i'm not soft on coal but i want to control it but we have to find a way of allowing life to go on mental health to be ok and sissoko health to be ok what we do know from our local experts is that 80 percent that just over 80 percent of all cold infections are happening within the home so we agreed with the government that it temporary restriction on socialising or was a really good idea but categorically that should not spill out to your garden similarly we want 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 of it goes way beyond what was necessary. coronavirus restrictions in the u.k.

have left many elderly people deprived of human interaction and one way they were decided to tackle the problem by putting a poster and is when they're asking for new friends artie's a shoddy ad when staff say went to meet him we spent probably one and a half hours sometimes to the eating. drinking conversing and that was a neat thing it was in the cajun. and now i don't have that. tony williams lost his wife to cancer cheering the cave at 19 locked 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 loveliest 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 from 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 i get 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 made 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 joe 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 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 mountaineering you'd want them on the end of the rope because your life depends on it that is a friend somebody you trust implicitly child adult stache d r t u k is tom share. france's president has drawn criticism this week for his perceived meddling in lebanon's crisis it's one of a number of international situations he's got himself in volved in prompting accusations of over ambition are to charlotte devinsky 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 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 sun 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 shon 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 pretty good reason for being in. africa to. propose mediation. for answers something that i doubt but. 'd no

one success until now lebanon is a particularly sought issue when corn arrived in beirut in the days following those deadly blasts he hoped to instigate change he made 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 to coordinate your plan an international mission to bring money on out directly to people and he broke the mold reaching out and holding talks with hezbollah that now backfired. welcome. president book wrong as a friend who loves lebanon and wants to help lebanon get out of its crisis but there is no authorization for the french president or anyone else to be guardian jaja must of been on for some experts his intervention smacked of

hypocrisy 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 is the 1st the british you know force of the iranian foreign minister so we. have. no comment 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. 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 when 2 nato members are confronted with the situation we are seeing and denouncing it it's intolerable no one can dispute that corn has being ambitious in his undertakings. he wants to make sure that france holds all to its international clients but for all his efforts some might be left wondering if he has perhaps but. then he can choose.

paris as our round up of the day's top news for now as always thanks for tuning in . always be polite never engage with a negative a good or confrontational. don't get into any conversation or start answering questions just ask for an attorney. to survive in terre geisha. definitely don't want to be going to try to jump on coke. you're more likely to walk free if you're rich. or if you're poor and. you've got 2 eyes 2 ears and one mouth. so you should be seen in here and
