here. the hospital it was bombed literally just minutes before we arrived here we actually had to have 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 soon we'll build our. every fire and 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 but it. has been born the little is the end like a very large round of the cool things about it at least this is one of the defense

ministry of armenia is coming out we are no longer going to get going and going to the white house again this is the epicenter of one of the explosions that has bassett's to comic air tonight this could be your show now it seems like it has been devastated just scattered glass someone who can heal because shattered glass windows are broken in fact look at this just managed to. pull it off their boxes of their boxes of stuff destroyed something big i'm not even sure if it used to be of course here on the floor of. the manager just put it in the back it will take you to actually treat i give you like anything and it grabs it's looks it's something that looks like a do you order and. now it's easy come easy go it's like the welcoming sign from a road it's well this is where the portrait of the kid is getting help with the

people who live here for well over 50 blocks of it to use to live on including the ground he took it all over this building really did damage there is good most significant i'm looking at that because one thing that i have to tell you there was no reason for us here by john to hit this place. residents of the building you just saw there ran for cover into their basements and during the raid they described to us what happened. we were all at home and have a bomb and we're in a cloud of smoke at the moment and the windows have been shot it 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. the karbala conflict is one

of several border disputes still unresolved since the collapse of the soviet union populated mainly by christian armenians broke away from azerbaijan that which is majority muslim in 1988 but the area has not been widely recognized as a sovereign state according to the azerbaijani president in 1000 civilians from his country have died in the conflict and 60 more are injured and on friday huskily spilled beyond the confines of the disputed territory when a bordering as area town was bombed as a price on claims over 2000 shells were dropped in that raid and its capital people have been showing their support for their own military's campaign over journalists as well for to live reports from bucko his piece includes images of military strikes to be warned about that. part of. the world the night you see the.

police which we're told was cut off. so. our by late you can be going to the special line for michele norris just like you did yesterday. do we go to school time. to see. who will see the gates of. the decision process so the poor will be army you can see the national flags that the. we're just here thank you all the cars. let's listen to some of them will be aspiration it's been since. 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. just i think we will win our 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. that have a negative attitude to the were young people or go into the war their minions must surrender and leave all and it's. a service chemical nation and conscription to be a. 1000 young people. seem to be. our service. it's pretty just like you joined the army or something because we feel like nothing if you look like an online media. outlets we can see that absolute majority of the coverage. was caused by john and paul who are. full of trump has been moved to a military 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. oh to think everybody for the tremendous support i move into walter reed hospital who are he going to who but we're going to make sure the things we're the 1st lady's doing very well so we would thank you very much very appreciative. thank you. white house doctors say the president is experiencing a mild symptoms including with fever he doesn't need oxygen support white house started anti-viral therapy a number of people close to tromp have also recently tested positive the white house says the president will carry on and his role but many of his political opponents are hoping he won't kill them off and reports. talk of an october surprise a game changing event that comes right before a u.s. 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 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 on the rolls right here in the united states is lowest in.

numerous categories were lower than the world they wanted me to come out and scream fearful of dying with 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. democrats jumped on donald trump's diagnosis to once again call him out for mishandling the crisis going into crowds unmasked and all the rest the sort of a brazen invitation for something like this to happen the president of the united states and republicans in minnesota are 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 prosecute 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 no one really trusts the information coming out of the white house you have no idea how sick you as a 74 years old he's overweight he's in a high risk group and he may become us to be early ill if he goes into intensive care the way boris johnson did in april that could lead to a cost to final 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. they have to proceed 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 us is that right to a period of extreme trauma oil things were already troubled enough 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 emanuel mccrum made the announcement in a speech on friday claiming that islam is in crisis disturbing. 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 you know the law targets what i call the enemies of friends islam at 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. didn't speak of separatism and republican cohesion he spoke only of obsessive lee 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 blue rule 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 mccrone invokes the degradation of life and working class neighborhoods and the organization of islam but he's proposals still to be specified are only on islam and nothing else it's not just believe but also citizens who want equal rights. 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 better that he says micron's policy is likely part of his reelection campaign. what you are going 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 said 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 a spike in sea pollution in the country's far east a problem was detected off the coast of come chaka it started several weeks ago when surfers in the area fell sick they reported severe diarrhea taishan sore throats 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 had a british would or has been overwhelmed by new friendships from all across the

globe thanks to a poster he put up in his window during the lockdown details on that story and more after this break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by our own person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy in front

cation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. welcome back to the program the mayor of the british city of middlesboro has spoken out against the country's new coronavirus restrictions saying they are doing more harm than good we spoke with him about it the government announced a extraordinary short notice they certainly didn't communicate with us at all 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 because damage mental health and the going to break down some of the elements of society that the really important cherished 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 meets 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. the new restrictions also affect liverpool warrington and hartlepool they include a ban on people from different households misc mixing indoors interacting outdoors isn't banned but also isn't advised either and only essential travel is allowed and may as words have already been heavily criticized with the communities secretary

bringing them irresponsible but any president 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 physical health to be ok what we do know from our local experts is that 80 percent fact 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 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 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 or it decided to tackle the problem by putting a poster and his window asking for new friends are to study at once dusty 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 love this person i've ever met. but i was on my own

i was in an area that 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 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 that 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 shown 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 for those 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 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 to adult stash d r t u k it's time 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 gotten himself involved in prompting accusations of over ambition artie's charlotte devinsky picks up the story. in little 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 francis back france back at the core of for europe from syria to libya wrong to the

sun hell corn 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 sean and armenia and made his feelings over recent well known developments in lebanon known for all his efforts how much success has he achieved we have a president who resists sort of. being in. africa. each time he proposed mediation each time he proposed going for answer something like that but. no one success until now 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 the months 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 and he broke the mold reaching out and holding talks with hezbollah that it's now backfired and i have welcome president book run 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 states 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 president appreciate the reports of the iranian foreign minister saying we continue to have. no comment needless to say despite macaroons best efforts the u.s. and iran remain polar opposites no one can dispute that not corn has been in his undertakings he wants to make sure that france holds on to its international

client but for all his efforts some might be left wondering if he has perhaps bitten off more than he can chew challenged r.t. paris that's been your rundown of the day's top news for now but don't forget you can always follow us on facebook or twitter for up to the minute reports.

a whole lot more than you're saying if you don't take that advice easy going to dig yourself a hole. 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.
