when some find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. week of hostilities between armenia and azerbaijan bring devastation to the in the room region and beyond reports from the front line. to massive explosions in the very center of the city 250 millimeter caliber so it is a massive rocket. from say syrian militants are pouring into the conflict zone as yet of on a bike you trade accusations of foreign mercenaries. how much all of those lies everybody knows he's a liar and there's nothing smart about you joe what you should. know your number to know 1st presidential debates before the u.s. election descended into name calling and interruptions the 2nd round whoever is now

in down donald trump attracted coronavirus. joining us you're watching the weekly here. has been a week of deadly hostilities between me and john in the disputed nagorno-karabakh region strikes have destroyed multiple buildings with conflicting reports on casualties it's on saturday 2 explosions were heard in the disputed regions capital . blairite sirens have been heard the rout sunday morning with more damage inflicted across the city on friday a field hospital was it in a bombing made of residential buildings rules are badly damaged the emergency

ministry building was destroyed. also this week of 30 spill beyond the confines of the disputed territory when a bordering azeri town was bombed as by john claims that more than 2000 shells were dropped in that raid thank you also says that since the start of fighting 19 a very civilians have been killed in the company 63 people injured. in the conflict reignited last sunday but it has roots that stretch back more than 3 decades it is one of several border disputes still unresolved since the collapse of the soviet union the enclave populated mainly by armenians broke away from azerbaijan in 1908 but the area has not been widely recognized as a sovereign state. thank.

you for. all of my danish think we have only one condition that armenia leaves our lands completely and immediately this is file it if the armenian government complies with this the fighting will stop there will be no bloodshed there will be peace peace will come to a region. well i believe the armenian army can secure country and the self-defense forces of the golden corral buck are successfully protecting their region from a political standpoint i believe it's very important for us that international partners know how and who started this military action. he's been on the ground in the complex zone with his reports on friday shelling of the car about capital is a good stuff. 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 at which 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 raise 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 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 they 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. the journalists in the going to care about are also getting caught in the crossfire 4 were injured in a shell strike on wednesday including 2 french reporters who were airlifted together for treatment i have now been repatriated on thursday a cameraman from an armenian t.v. channel was severely injured during shelling from the azerbaijani side these are pictures of his car. the conflict is creating wider geopolitical tensions

france and russia have accused turkey funneling jihadi militants from syria into the combat armenia also alleges ankara along with back is trying to continue the genocide of the early 20th century and spies are no insistence yet of on using foreign mercenaries and also rejects the idea of any kind of direct military support from turkey on t. senior correspondent has more. well aside from an increasingly violent and volatile situation on the ground things are heating up on the diplomatic international stage and i would say at this point that they are boiling france now coming out with an increasingly hardline 8 stance of what is happening in the region in these in this conflict the nasty thing that they've come by the same intelligence as russia had that there are indeed syrian geologist's mercenary fighters being transported and utilized by is headed by john in the fight against

armenia. today we have information with certainty that indicates that militants from to have just groups who left the field of combat and syria to rejoin the field of combat and care about it to has this information we're going to transfer him personally fighters from the middle east to the going to car parking area the information exists and it was presented in social networks and relevant publications previously tacky and as ed by john had vehemently denied that they were usually using utilizing syrian musson reason in the fight against armenia against catabolic but in recent days that lied has changed now they're accusing the media of self using hiring mercenaries under the guise of them being volunteers. there is not historic evidence for meaning of terrorists and mercenaries during the occupation of nagorno-karabakh and adjacent regions of their beach on their mini

and leadership continues this policy today mercenaries are pumped into the conflict zone disguised as mountaineers according to our information about 4 families and militants have recently been deployed by turkey from syria to azerbaijan they are already fighting for azerbaijan they are trained in militant camps in than transferred nearly calling its international concern doesn't quite do it justice there are very concrete fears that have taken root that this could be a runaway conflict the potential escalation could be catastrophic because all these powers regional powers could be pulled into this war into this conflict irregardless of what they want russia for example with its security pact defense pact with armenia iraq making it know very well that it is tremendously concerned about syrian fighters mercenaries which is his forte in syria now being flew to

its doorstep. just just to show how can they are france the united states and russia have come together in a comparatively rare feat addition to the joint statement calling for peace though turkey for one doesn't quite believe that that can happen. the fact that america rushed in front of easter known as the minsk trio looking for ceasefire in the face of these negative developments just because they have been equipped to this problem for nearly 30 years is an acceptable turkey's position and to a lesser degree that of is it but john is that there has been years decades of talks and they've led to nothing they've been completely fruitless the karabakh problem is still a problem the flare ups are still happening they say this is not the time for peace this is a tired. to resolve this conflict by military means because all these talks have led to nothing and if we keep talking the conflict will keep escalating and unless

the underlying issue is resolved and that is who controls karabakh the problem will persist another allegation being thrown out as a by john by our media it's a back us using cluster munitions in advance published photos to back up the claim as about john has not responded to the allegation. both sides made contradictory claims about casualties and damage inflicted releasing a string of videos to back them up looks at how disinform ations become a key weapon in the conflict. deception and full of military victories are as old as wolf heart south but in the digital age the distance from ation can be tough charged the military propaganda machine of armenia which found itself in a stalemate after a series of successful hostilities by the us or by johnny army began a large scale provocation in the information space though the armenian side as always presents old video of battles as new ones the goal is to present their

failures to the population successes the ongoing conflict in the corner kara boss is an example of how information is deployed just as powerfully and destructively as guns claiming victory can play as important a role as physically claiming territory it's all about the image you project so one surprise in that just as azerbaijan tried to discredit armenians claims of success yaron shot off its own attack the enemy both at the front and in the information space is making its last efforts is running out of steam and therefore threw everything possible weapons into and even fakes and falls over the past few days there has been a relentless stream of accusations from one side followed by denials from the author and this exchange of fire has made finding the truth almost impossible for example armenia says one of its su 25 warplanes was shot down by tucker's fighter jet talkie and by john denounce this is laws and with no footage or i want to says

it's one side against the others so was the truth but even when evidence is put forward the truth proves to be just as elusive the car back to france ministry sit down and sorry helicopter a photo of a burning helicopter into the ground is posted on social media a small victory is claimed it tuns out the photo was actually of a helicopter shot down over syria back in february but it doesn't matter because people were. thought it was a sorry and that will stick as way john uses the same tactics to post about a successful strike as a bridge on his i did not publish any images of the strikes on their marine in positions of military equipment it turned out it was for those from the war in syria these videos were sad thousands of times and so without being the truth they become a version of the truth so we're letting this has this war of information become that journalists have been put on high alert. as all members of the media in

armenia and azerbaijan to not take part in the ongoing information war journalists should avoid when it peel a sion and official propaganda it is important to cross-check information even when it comes from official sources journalists should never become soldiers in the information war one of russia's most famous authors once compared finding the truth to looking for gold he said the only way is 1st to wash away all that is not gold then you will find your shining nugget well when it comes to care about there's still a knot of sifting through the muddy river of misinformation to be done before we even get close to the truth. shared a video on twitter that says the real target is still heard he was moved to a military hospital to becoming infected with corona virus the situation is cast

doubt on his 2020 presidential campaign and his 2nd round debate with rival joe biden the 1st clash was a chaotic infer marred by interruptions and insults one quarter discussed went. listen respectfully to each other's opinions i'm not here to call out his lies everybody knows he's a liar never use the word smart with me ever use that word because you know what it is nothing smart about you joe what do you should excuse the one who so you are number 2 no he's putin's puppy i get my time back fewer interruptions i'm appealing to you sort of do it him to well frankly you've been doing more interrupting that sort of but he does plenty well less than you will he's just show us for a minute why do you do it over again in the last 25 years i because i'm going to do it because you are president sure things up you are a senator and the worst were as always america is ever. going. to get any word with this clown directly then you know now that we're done we're done sir

while then the american people had big hopes for this debate after all it's happening on the backdrop of a global pandemic and a serious economic crisis but based on how both biden and trump conducted themselves i would say most people probably thought they were watching some sort of circus. you should get out of your bunker and get out of the sand trap and get in your golf course and fund what needs to be done now to save lives he wants to shut down this country and i want to keep it open. i had it close to greatest economy in the history of our country we handed him a booming economy he blew it was it a loon. he's very socially the crime bill 1994 where you call them super predators african-americans are super predators while during the debate the moderator was able to get in a lot of questions that the american people really want answers to how the next administration is going to handle coronavirus relief racism police brutality the

social unrest but the most important thing of all is how biden or trump actually respond to these questions and voters didn't seem to think that they did a very good job on. this is a very painful response i don't think either of them one this is just terrible all around this is very upsetting to watch that this is the best representation for our country right now i don't think i can say that even if you were one i think it was a twister it was a wild ride it went right in when left there was a lot going on there's a lot of interruption it was crazy. to me that i don't think either one of them respected none of the other. and the economy seems to agree with those voters as well because right after the close of this chaotic debate we saw u.s. stock futures take a plunge and while both political camps have already started making political memes as if they're their guy won the debate every day voters are really kind of taking

a sort of i'd rather laugh than cry approach. and. we asked former republican state senator john loud and international experts a few mclennan for the thoughts on the debate. there's little doubt that trump lost his composure or he was repeatedly interrupting and. seemed overly emotional and somewhat hysterical i was disappointed to see it in

decide to sort out stoop to that kind of behavior he tends to be very dismissive been to bully and in fact name call it's certainly not presidential it's not the kind of behavior that you really want to see in a candidate match or anybody watching had their minds changed except that i do i do see that i think biden's going to have some cleanup to do with the left flank it's inappropriate he just dismissed the president as a liar i would hate to see the count and how many times he said the president just lies without backing up and being specific about what was dishonest but american politics can be pretty contentious and i think american people sadly are kind of used to it and be on film on the dangers of chinese intelligence recruitment has been branded cold war style propaganda details after

the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation

let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. environmental regulators are investigating a spike in sea pollution in the country's far east problem was detected of the coast of can chant local authorities have found that petro chemical levels in the water 4 times over the legal limit they also discovered elevated levels of a toxic chemical in the past several weeks service have been reporting health issues of to going into the water since people were spotted dead sea creatures being washed ashore along 40 kilometers of coastline local governor sort of has

launched an investigation with the samples being sent to moscow for analysis is warned any officials who neglect the issue will face consequences. currently analyzing what possible harm the incident may have caused my main aim right now is to ensure that what's happened isn't hushed up i don't want to fishes to try and downplay its significance a thorough in objective analysis will be provided by the relevant organizations we will collect additional samples of water sea floor sediment and sand and of dead animals i can tell you right away that if it turns out local officials downplayed this incident or tried to hide it they will be immediately fired and if any federal officials are guilty of the same i will demand similar punitive measures. environmental organization responsible for the region says it was unable to detect the pollution earlier this the spill apparently occurred close to the bottom of the ocean little authorities have noted that the situation has improved in the last few

days and to beating it to the ocean's ability to self recover as in chief of russia beyond surf allowed poorly visited the area and sent this report. i'm currently in the post i'm just happen to love not just the region there is a make a logical disaster and have yet to see beach be just the one person away from the sea i spent 4 hours on the collectivists the beach and i didn't see any water or feel collar and i didn't smell any pleasant water but at the same time some of my friends were closer to the area off keep my eye and they come through that they felt some unpleasant odor and it had still be left weekly i've seen some death fish on the shore and some dead shellfish but not in the amounts like you've probably seen on some user of the dios i like they were a little bit scattered around the beach their real life selected that fish there but not like files that sea lion stuff like that idea see any big sea and

i've talked to some sort of 1st bull locals and visitors and they confirmed that it's soft and was into water and ice and some of them even had like chemical burns of their eyes and they had to consult a doctor and it started 3 weeks ago so definitely softened happened here but we don't know when it started we don't know the scale of the disaster and we don't know what has caused the local authorities confirmed that the samples that the 2 back on september 29. exceeded the norms for females 2 times and norms for products 4 times in the water so soft and definitely happened. at least a short film demonstrating the dangers of chinese intelligence recruitment but the propaganda style video reminded some of the methods used by the us and u.s.s.r.

during the cold war element in explains. it's the latest hollywood thriller complete with a catchy soundtrack and a script that keeps you on edge however it's meant to be informative it's not a feature film this half hour movie was created by the f.b.i. more knew about chinese intelligence and its efforts to recruit this is someone targeted on raven who may have sent classified information to chinese intelligence . like many blockbusters it's based on a true story a former cia officer was sentenced to 20 years in prison for passing along information to the chinese and the f.b.i. says that this video is meant to educate the public and alert them about the threat

of foreign intelligence recruitment as desmonte highlights foreign intelligence services are posing as head hunters and consultants and professional networking sites to aggressively target americans we believe it's critically important to educate the public in order to neutralize this threat from foreign intelligence services well we've seen all those old newsreels talking about the red menace it looks like the propagandists are still in business years later trying. to buy i'm going to. play russia had occupied many new territories bringing additional millions of people under communist control. for example who only make 10. bridge american river road worker makes $10.00 a day more times more the used to say the chinese can't strike back they've got hollywood scenes of their own the.

really awful what happens when. you don't come out on. the line to do a little truth with them when i was. just listening to your sim and you do the usa nor china has actually declared a new cold war but everyone is buzzing about it and the issue of our cold war is the foreign minister suggested it's not just our writings saying that is this a new cold war we've heard for example u.k. officials are china and the united states headed for a new cold war or is it going to be a hot war the un is even getting in on the hysteria or should we call it in a stealth job we must do every scene for the new cold war we are moving in a very dangerous direction. own world cannot afford the future lead to too much as the economy speed the globe in a great fraction each with its own treatments financial rules and the metadata

official intelligence capacities yes many of us heard stories from our parents about hiding under their desks in school during civil defense drills the cold war has a special place in american history and now with dueling propaganda films and talk of a red menace from china it seems that the cold war is back the good old days well perhaps we've forgotten how potentially dangerous it is. r.t. new york we spoke to politics professor joseph gregory about hony who says a u.s. china cold war is already upon us. if we if we follow reports of majority opinions among business leaders and policy makers that there will be likely a war between china and us within the next 10 years so i think that again this is part of the negative messaging that we see with trump but there is also some

credibility that it is an issue that the u.s. wants to check ahead of future conflict we already see many people agree a cold war and tech a cold war growing in frictions between us and china and other countries and international organizations as the u.s. turns against multilateralism some people a lot of people in the d.c. area believe that we're already in a hot cyber war. with updates in half an hour's time to see them. 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 and tear a geisha. definitely don't want to. jump

on cops. you're more likely to walk free if you're rich. or if you're poor and. you've got 2 eyes and ears in one now. so you should be seen in here and a whole lot more than you're saying 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 'd in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still has the lead up to the reality of the we're not financial inequality and the lack of affordable housing living minimum wage gave many people no choice. that's been

a problem with the city has turned to. the requires the source the most vulnerable or abandoned on the streets to become invisible clubs. it was a very nice show from president putin and i could have said no thank you or i could have said thank you and i said i'll take it and now it's time to end your days and nights not special mr don't travel thank you says is very much was in the. name whatever you want to name i mean i don't know how would i come to that.
