so join us in the death. or a major in the shallows. a week of hostilities between armenia and azerbaijan bringing devastation to the capital of mccormack with shelling of the city ongoing r.t. reports from the ground. you massive explosions in the very center of the city 250 millimeter caliber it is a massive rocket. the fighting spills beyond the disputed region as a bordering a very city comes under artillery fire. among a lot of lies everybody knows he's a liar there's nothing smart about you joe what you should i don't think he's an excuse well there's no your number to go to. the 1st presidential debate before the

u.s. election this ended in to name calling and interruptions the 2nd round however is now in doubt after donald trump contract and the coronavirus. been watching the weekly here on our team for national where we bring you a roundup of the top stories from the week just gone along with the day's headlines . the capital of the disputed region of the border is being relentlessly shelled as the week long conflict between armenia and azerbaijan escalates further airstrikes have destroyed multiple buildings with conflicting reports on casualties these what we're showing you now are the latest pictures coming from the capital showing burning cars as damage is inflicted across the city earlier in the week a field hospital was hit in a bombing raid several residential buildings were also badly damaged the

hostilities are spilling beyond the confines of the disputed territory with several a very towns reportedly bombed the city have gone yet came under fire within the past several hours as a by claims one person was killed and 4 wounded on friday the town of terror was also attacked who claims thousands of shells were used in that raid and. we're not going to cross live to our senior correspondent my gun stand who's currently in istanbul no let up in hostilities if anything escalation what's the latest. world with seeing unfortunately events down a path that was feared by many but few thought that we would get here many people thought the things would deescalate especially with such tremendous international diplomatic pressure on both sides calling them to deescalate put that hasn't happened we have seen now for several days unprecedented terrifying bombardment of

step on the camp the biggest settlement the biggest town in the war zone and during that bombardment at some point authorities came out looking at forty's and said look if there by john doesn't stop targeting us with with shells multiple rocket launchers with airstrikes we will respond in an equally powerful manner and apparently now they have responded by striking at the city of ganja they have confirmed this the city of ganja the 2nd biggest city in a 0 by john they have confirmed this the head of the golden ticket about said that he gave the order to strike and he also gave the order to stop these missile strikes this was a warning a message to the ascent by johnnie's he said we're warning you to stop to deescalate to come to your senses and to stop before things get out of control before we reach a point from which there is no going back as it about john itself says that what

was targeted in the city of ganja wasn't a military airfield is the go to care about said but populated areas civilian areas one person had been killed 4 others apparently have been injured all of them 3 all of them civilians as yet but john is now promising to respond turkey has come out and said that what what the government could about its done the targeting of ganja was it sees it as a war crime as a violation of the geneva conventions it didn't do specify what part of the could conventions the strike violated we can. presume that this was a coup is against targeting civilians in populated areas when it can be what it can be avoided armenia itself has come out though and said that it was of the god nicobar who armenia that expanded the war zone the geographic area along which combat was happening but it was i said about drug and turkey which targeted. which

targeted military and civilian targets inside armenia and itself not inside the golden it got a box. it was easy to budge on the previously expanded the combat zone by shelling the territory of armenia look more than that armenia says that it will respond in a powerful magnet to any provocation from any side so if anything is targeted in armenia proper it will respond i said about john also escalating into this every response to an escalation seems to be another escalation as ever john coming out and say that it will now targeting any military installation or target inside armenia proper if it believes that that military target fired upon populated areas inside is it about drought all in all the seas a very significant escalation because obviously armenia itself has

a defense pact with russia so if on meaning it is attacked it will have cause to trigger its defensive pact with russia and cool for help from abroad turkey letting it be known that if i said about john is struck they had said so themselves before any attack by armenia and azerbaijan would be construed as an attack on turkey itself so it would be standing by it will certainly ceased whether with military force or with support it will assist as it about john so indeed events are developing along a very worrying trajectory. stay across the latest for us thank you. now artie's been on the ground in the conflict zone with his report on friday shelling on the karbala capital here's interest on a. 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 was 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 over mergence sees 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 very long range as well but we have to go they are telling us it's not safe because sometimes as the as there by johnnie's are using these so-called double tap so that they not only they destroy the building but also the 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 cal about 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. journalists and they're going to kind of are also getting caught in the crossfire or were injured in a shell strike on wednesday including 2 french reporters they were airlifted to a caravan for treatment and have now been repatriated on thursday a camera man from an armenian t.v. channel was severely injured during shelling from the azerbaijani side these are pictures of his car. conflicts rehabilitated last sunday but it has roots stretching back over 3 decades it's one of several border disputes still unresolved since the collapse of the soviet union populated mainly by armenians broke away

from azerbaijan and 1988 but the area has not been widely recognized as a sovereign state. alumni division if we have only one condition that armenia leaves our lands completely and immediately this is valid if the armenian government complies with this the fighting will stop there will be no bloodshed there will be peace peace will come to our region. i believe the armenian army can secure country and the

self-defense forces of the golden corral box 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. donald trump has shared a video on twitter saying the real test is still ahead after he was moved to a military hospital after testing positive for cocaine 19 has had to ration has cast doubt on his 2020 presidential campaign and his 2nd round debate with rival joe biden their 1st clash was a chaotic affair marred by interruptions and insults teleporter has the details. listen respectfully to each other's opinions i'm not here to call out his lies everybody knows he's a liar they'll never use the word smart with me ever use that word give me because you know what there's nothing smart about you joe what do you she was a very sad excuse one who saw your number to know he's putin's puppy i get my time

back fewer interruptions i'm appealing to you sir to do that and him too well frankly you've been doing more interrupting their cigarette but he does plenty well less than you will he's just shows 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 things up you're a senator and the worst were resumes 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 the greatest economy in the history of our country we handed him a booming economy he blew it was it a loon. he races you say the crime bill 1904 where you call the super predators african-americans the 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 of 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. i think this is a very painful response i don't think either the 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 right and 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 everyday voters are really kind of taking a sort of i'd rather laugh than cry approach.

we asked former republican state senator john lott and international affairs expert something mclennan for their 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 of stoop to that kind of behavior he tends to be very dismissive and 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 any 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 hate to see the count on 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. still had surfers and beachgoers and russia's far east report hundreds of dead sea creatures washed ashore and sparking fears of an environmental disaster as among our stories after the short break. is you'll media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe.

isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. directly. what is true wants is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or inmate in the shallowness. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

welcome back russia's daily corona virus infection rate has seen a dramatic rise and now surpasses $10000.00 that's double compared with a month ago and this has prompted the capital moscow to impose fresh restrictions which will come into force on monday or tuesday on the hawkins reports. well the situation of course is worsening across the globe with the number of infections or with coronavirus cases russia unfortunately is no exception here in the capital lemaire of moscow has said the situation is studied from what it was just a few days ago in the past week with very rapid rises in cases and infections indeed i guess if you were talking medical terms you could say the situation is serious but stable it is however rising the center for coronaviruses recorded over 3300 new cases here in the capital just over the past 24 hours now

people with any sort of symptoms are of course being asked to stay at home and self isolate and most people will be able to get over this if they do have a case of corona virus without many serious side effects or any serious health consequences many people though are not so lucky and do require urgent medical attention. our hospitals are filling up fast the situation has stabilized a little but the number of new patients is slowly but surely approaching 1000 a day many of them are seriously ill so many hospitals and medical institutions which were created especially for corona virus cases and subsequently scaled down over the past few months are now being ramped back up to deal with this rising number of cases and indeed the picture in russia is also worse thing in fact over the last 24 hours russia as you said earlier has hit that 10000 case per day mark 10499 recorded which is a rise of several 100 from what we saw just

a day or so ago now to tackle these measures the government is bringing in a series of the new rules which come into force as early as tomorrow they include a 30 percent reduction in office staff people the companies must send people to work from home that number could rise as high as 50 percent later on many people of course have been working from home. in these few months anyway so that won't affect quite a number of people already those who are elderly or have chronic medical conditions they must also stay home only go outside for valid reasons though so far there's no plans the most the government says to introduce any sort of pa system that we saw over some of the school holidays have also been extended by one week the government will look again at those measures this see if they need to be strengthened of course the vaccine trial sputnik v they are underway as well the final 3rd stage has recorded no serious side effects and the institute of the government aims to

shoot and the government hopes to have that vaccine in much production with massive aid ability. or december preparing for any more serious worsening of the situation now as some analysts some experts are calling this the dreaded arrival of the 2nd wave others are saying that the 1st wave that chaos will remember in spring this year never really ended whatever you want to call it it's clear that the situation is getting worse and that russia hasn't been able to avoid this so far the hope of course it remains under control that most people will be able to pass this without any serious health consequences this time the or thirty's the hospitals the medics are far better prepared than they were across the country than they were in the spring this year and the situation will remain at least stable over the coming days and weeks. 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 local authorities have found

that petro chemical levels in the water or times over the legal limit also discovered elevated levels of phenol a toxic chemical for the past several weeks surfers have been reporting health issues after going into the water since then people have spotted dead sea creatures being washed ashore along 40 kilometers of coastline local government lot of solider has. launch an investigation up with samples being sent to moscow for analysis and he's warned that any officials who neglected the issue will face consequences. we're currently analyzing what possible harm the incident may have caused my main aim right now is to ensure that what's happened isn't touched up i don't want to fishes to try and downplay its significance a thorough and 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. the environmental organization responsible for the region says it was unable to detect the pollution earlier as the chemicals apparently originated at the bottom layers of the ocean local authorities have noted that the situation has improved in the last couple of days attributing it to the ocean's ability to sell for cover i did or in chief of russia beyond of several of this is in the area and sent this report . i'm currently in the palace and i'm just a couple of them just to reach there isn't that a logical disaster that you like to see between just reading 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 feet and they come through that he felt some unpleasant odor and it had still be left weekly i've seen some

death fish on the sure and some dead shellfish but not in the amounts like you've probably seen on some user b.d.'s like they were a little bit scattered around the beach they're real like selected that feast there but not like piles of dead sea lion stuff like that idea see any big sea and. i've talked to some surfers bulls locals and visitors and they confirmed that so i stopped and was into water and the 3rd day i 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. the f.b.i. has released a short film demonstrating the dangers of chinese intelligence recruitment a propaganda style video reminded many of the methods used by the us and the u.s.s.r. during the cold war film up and explains. the time. 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. to warn you 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 this movie 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 kind of. go by i'm going to. play russia had occupied many new

territories bringing additional millions of people under communist control. for example only makes. bridge american river road worker makes $10.00 a day. who's to say the chinese can't strike back they've got hollywood scenes of their own the. liberals. don't come out on the. it's on the line to do a little digital. just listen to your sim and either the usa in north 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 we must do every scene for the new cold war. we are moving in a very dangerous line action own rules cannot afford the future lead to too much as the economy you speak the globe integrates fractions each with its own freedoms financial rules and the internet and not 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 mahoney 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 would 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 and 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 that's been the weekly here on our team to national thanks for tuning in this hour.
