it has been like this all day. is because the level is the unlike very large grounds of the pool. 'd at least this is what the defense ministry of armenia is telling us we're. going to get in and get in the way. this is the epicenter of one of the explosions that has bassett's to comic air tonight this could be a shock now it seems like it has been devastated just shattered glass from the group heal because shattered glass windows are broken in fact look at this just managed to. pull it off there are boxes over there of boxes of stuff just something that i'm not even sure if it used to be of course here on the floor of. the manager

just put in the back. take you to actually treat you like anything grabs. looks is something that looks like a do you order and. now it's easy come easy go it's like the world coming from a road is all this is worth the portrait. if you go to these people live here all the cooking and lots of it you still live in the world round you took your. leave the 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. the residents of the building you just saw run for cover into their basements during the raid they described to us what happened. where were all the tall man who were 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. car a bank is populated mainly by armenians it broke away from us or by john in 1988 turkey has consistently supported by john in the standoff the armenian prime minister claims on grow along with who are trying to continue the genocide of the early 20th century. they debate do not put a clock on her there's a by johnny to the kids banded groups to not want to solve the care about is you the target is all the media and people around the world they're continuing the polar sea of the armenian genocide. our surveys ya know ever insist armenia is

entirely to blame for the current flare up president elias claims armenians are occupying is your land and do not want peace he also said 19 civilians from his country have died in the conflict 60 more injured on friday hostilities spilled beyond the confines of the disputed territory when a bordering izzie return was bombed no suppression claims over 2000 shells were dropped in the raid in the nation's capital people have been showing support for their own military campaign a local journalist sent us a report from his piece includes images of military strikes. during the long beach the night you'll see. police what you were doing for an hour i think you saw. our fine lady and you got to go on the special line for michelle was quite

enthusiastic. including the one time i. say that. was. always a. negotiation process so i supported the army you can see the national flags that hang outside their house for just the thank you the cards. let's listen to some of them will be asked recently expectations signal now that i am originally from carroll i am 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 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 the american i have

a negative to do to move were young people are going to the war their menus must surrender and leave only and it's. the service of the mobilization and consequences to the. speed that thousands will be done before thank you for the key to the service and its pretty high if you join the army or the navy coverage was national t.v. or congress and online media. outlets we can see that absolute majority of the coverage during the 1st president and cold war i also spoke earlier to zorra attorney representing the red cross in armenia she say civilians in car back are terrified and many have nowhere to go passenger now those who do still treat who leaned in and around the areas feeling assessed because of the intensity and i think unfortunately of the situation you receive 3 words and we see calls of people

who are pretty terrified and don't know all works well and what to do to turn to to be in a safer place and basically this is really very worrying also on the onset of winter and children are just several weeks into last school just and basically it's a day that people are trying to protect themselves and being anxious you know the nation's already severe situation. mixed signals are coming from washington over donald trump state of health he's currently in a military hospital after contracting corona virus the white house chief of staff has been quoted as the scribing the president's condition i was very concerning saying the next 48 hours will be critical and was soon after trump's doctor said he was doing very well and had no fever earlier mr trump your video thanking his supporters. i would have think everybody with the tremendous record i move into

walter reed hospital who are going to who. were going to make sure the things were the 1st lady's doing. so would thank you very much very appreciated. your white house doctors how to earlier said as well the president received a thorough 3 a number of people close to mr trump recently tested positive as well the administration sees the president will carry on in his room but many of his political opponents are hoping he won't open reports. 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 just 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 with 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 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 hope that's true we have a very much on the right here in the united states is lowest in. numerous categories were lower then the world they wanted me to come out and screw

the fearful of being with us. 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 mis handling the crisis going into crowds unmasked and all the rest of this 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 risk to the public health of my constituents and our country though they have not done so in the past the administration must now follow 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 and he's in a high risk group for whom cove it can be lethal 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. rush's environmental regulators are investigating a spike in sea pollution in the country's far east the problem with the tank and off the coast of cum shot it started earlier this week. when surfers in the area felt sick they reported severe. sore throats. since then people have

spotted did see creatures being washed ashore along 40 kilometers of coastline experts took samples and found that petro chemical levels in the water were 4 times over the legal limit the also the elevated levels of phenyl toxic chemical online campaign called save the pacific is now urging local authorities and environmental groups to establish the source of the pollution and help clean up the waters. this is r t international still ahead the u.s. is accusing vietnam of. this is a move that could lead to china's. washington story after the break. a reflection of reality.

in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being so. what is true. is. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or in maybe in the shallows. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic to follow. i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and

talk. let's start the program back in the u.k. where the murder of middlesboro has spoken out against new coronavirus restrictions saying they're doing more harm than good and the preston talk to r.t. . government announced to extraordinary short notice they certainly didn't communicate with us at all a range of measures to try and protect people from these measures went way beyond what was necessary and they're actually going to stifle all kinds of problem and of course thousands potentially thousands of job losses because damage mental health and they don't 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 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. the new restrictions also affect liverpool warrington and hartlepool being clued a ban on people from different high schools mixing indoors interacting outdoors is not done but it is this courage and only essential travel is allowed even before these measures wear introduce the areas mentioned were among those under harsher curbs than the majority of the u.k. the middle of her stance by the way has been heavily criticized by the u.k. community secretary browning it irresponsible while one of the most colleagues on the town council called him reckless sunday preston again and says he's taking

a pandemic seriously. so i'm not soft on coal but 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 agreed with the government that it temporary restriction on socialising or was a really good idea but categorically that should not spread 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 you know 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 corona virus restrictions have left many elderly people

deprived of human company all over the world so one were in england so the tackle the problem by putting a poster in his window for new friends shirley edwards their city went along to meet him we spent probably one and a half hours sometimes to the eating. drinking conversing and that was an evening it was in the cajun. and now i don't have that. with us. tony williams lost his wife to cancer chairing 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 loveliest 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 versions in the local paper but i didn't get in taters i had some cards printed and 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 tan 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 showing real anger about the. yes to my face and some don't talk to me and i can't do anything about that this week i 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 but also because people have misunderstood my motivation so there'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 nearing you'd want them on the end of the rope because your life depended on it that is a friend somebody you trust implicitly charge added stashed e r t u k it's time share. authorities in paris are considering whether to shut down all bars restaurants and museums after a jump in corona virus infections the nationwide caseload now stands along with $600000.00 putting hospitals under severe strain the country's nursing union backing not up warning that intensive care units could soon become overloaded. with feel betrayed the government is deaf to our needs for each 1002 cabins france has 5.9 intensive care beds whereas germany has 8 france has 10 nurses or 1000
