a week of hostilities between armenia and azerbaijan brings devastation to no corner with relentless shelling of the local capital are 2 reports from the area 2 massive explosions in the very center of the city 250 millimeter caliber so it is a massive rocket. the fighting spills beyond the disputed region as a border city and azerbaijan comes under artillery fire as well. i'm not here to call out those lies everybody knows he's a liar there's nothing smart about you joe what you she was out of. your number 2. the 1st presidential debate before the u.s. election descended into name calling and interruptions the 2nd round however is now

in doubt after donald trump contract the coronavirus. and environmental groups warn of a pollution disaster and russia's far east as a probe is launched into toxic chemicals killing sea life. you're watching the weekly here on our to international where we bring you a roundup of the top stories from the week just gone along with the day's headlines . we start with the conflicts between armenia and azerbaijan which is now entering its 2nd week the disputed region of the government is being relentlessly shelled these are the latest pictures from the local capital showing burning cars and central buildings have been hit across the city the number of casualties is so far unclear earlier in the week a hospital was hit in airstrike and several residential buildings were also badly damaged hostilities are now spilling beyond the disputed territory with several

towns in azerbaijan. the city in gunja came under fire earlier on sunday as a freshman claims one person was killed and 32 wounded on friday the town of turner was also attacked by 2 claims thousands of shells were used in that raid since the start of the conflict azerbaijan says $24.00 civilians have been killed with $111.00 injured. brings us the latest. world with seeing unfortunately events down a path that was feared by many but the few thought that we would get here many people thought the things would deescalate especially with such tremendous international diplomatic pressure both sides calling them to deescalate but that hasn't happened we have seen now for several days out unprecedented terrifying bombardment of step on like at the biggest settlement the biggest doubt in the war zone and during that war bodman got some point authorities came out and said look

if is it about john doesn't stop us with with shells multiple rocket launchers with ash writes we will respond in an equally powerful matter and apparently now they have responded by striking at the city of gadget they have confirmed this the city of ganja the 2nd biggest city is it about john they have confirmed this the head of the golden said that he gave the order to strike and he also gave the order to stop these missiles strikes was. a warning a message to the senate 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 i said about john itself says that what was targeted in the city of ganja wasn't a military airfield as the golden corral box said but populated areas civilian areas turkey has come out very strongly against this kind of

a strike on ganja they're blaming this on our movie and saying that this was essentially a war crowd. which is facing defeat and there's a budge on it to reduce the desire to start getting civilian residential areas in the 2nd largest city of his or by john gun john why do guns on media violate so principles of human it's a rule including the geneva convention armenian itself has come out though and said that it was of the god meaning of that expanded the war zone the geographic area along which combat was happening but it was i said about god and turkey which targeted which targeted military and civilian targets inside armenia and itself not inside the garden it got a box it was easy to budge on that previously expanded the combat zone by shelling to 2 torrie of armenia look more than that media says that it will respond in a powerful magnet to any provocation from any side so if anything is targeted in

armenia it will respond i said about john also escalating you know this is every response to an escalation seems to be another escalation as ever john coming out and saying that it will now target any military installation or target inside armenia proper if it but leaves that that military target fired upon populated areas inside is it about judge all in all these sees a very significant. nation because obviously armenia itself has a defense pact with russia so if it is attacked it will have cause to trigger its defensive pact with russia and call for help from abroad turkey letting it be known that if i said about john is struck they had said to 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 a budget so indeed events are developing along the very worrying trajectory. our correspondent has been in the conflict zone throughout the week with his report on friday shelling of the curb capital here's a post on the. 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 raised 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 azerbaijanis 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 its head 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. journalist in the in

a car are also getting caught in the crossfire 4 were injured and they shell strike on wednesday including 2 french reporters they were airlifted to for treatment and are now back in france 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 after the attack. the conflict reignited last sunday but it has roots stretching back over 3 decades of populated mainly by armenian christians broke away from majority muslim azerbaijan in 1988 but the area has not been widely recognized as a sovereign state. on

my day regime 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 a. lie 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. is in hospital for a 3rd day after contracting coded 19 the us presence condition has cast doubt over the november election and the 2nd round debate with rival joe biden their 1st clash

was a chaotic affair marred by interruptions and insults a quarter 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 because you know what it is nothing smart about you joe what do you. excuse the 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 that event but he does plenty well less than what he's just shows for a minute but why do you do it over again in the last 25 years not because i'm going to do it because you are president things up you are 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 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 and he wants to shut down this country and i want to keep it open. but i had it close to greatest economy in the history of our country we handed him a booming economy he blew it was it evil who. he are you races you say the crime bill 994 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 honestly as. very painful response and 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 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 loudon and international affairs expert sophia clinton for their thoughts on the 1st debate. there's little doubt that trump lost his composure as 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 and goalie and in fact to 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 did 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 washing ashore sparking fears of an environmental disaster all because after the short break.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person with those. who dares thinks. we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going foundation let it be an arms race is also a spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how

that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back russia's environmental regulators are investigating a spike in sea pollution and the country's far east problem was detected off the coast of come chaka editor in chief of russia be on the sale of all the poor this is the area. i'm currently in the past 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 off the collar and i didn't smell any on pleasant water but at the same time some of my friends were closer to the area off. 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 sure 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 off that sea lion stuff like that idea see any big sea anymore i've talked to some surfers wolf locals and visitors and they confirmed that it's soft and was in the 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 definitely saw things 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. come just the governor of lot of is overseeing the probe and samples are being sent to moscow for analysis he's warned that any officials who neglected 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 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. there is no sign of a lot up in the post election unrest sweeping belarus crowds are now gathering in minsk exactly 8 weeks after present look shango was a reelected and they disputed ballots at least 40 people have been arrested today alone at one point riot police used a water cannon truck to target the demonstrators who fought back damaging the vehicle as a heavy security presence throughout the capital as you can see and 8 subway stations have been closed in march when ahead without official permission and it falls almost 2 months of public calls for a look good to resign earlier this week the european union passed sanctions on 40 below russian officials over claims of election bringing and brutal violence against protesters responded by blacklisting european officials.

russia's corona virus infection rate has seen a dramatic uptick now exceeding $10000.00 per day that's double the figure recorded just a month ago and it's prompted moscow to impose citywide restrictions which will take effect on monday that hawkins has the story. well the situation of course is worsening across the globe with the number of infections or with coronavirus cases russia unfortunately is no exception the center for growing of our oceans 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 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 in the last 24 hours russia has hit that 10000 case per day mark now to tackle these big government is bringing in a series of new rules which come into force as early as tomorrow they include a 30 percent reduction in office staff that number could rise as high as 50 percent later on 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 moscow government says to introduce any sort of past system that we saw over some of the school holidays have also been extended by one week of course the vaccine trial sputnik v they are underway as well the final 3rd stage is recorded no serious side effects forget the names the suit and the government hope to have that vaccine in march production with massive aid ability as early as november or december this time of your thirty's the hospitals are far better prepared than they were in the spring this year and the situation will remain at least stable over the

coming days and weeks. the f.b.i. has released a short film demonstrating the dangers of chinese intelligence recruitment after the propaganda style video reminded many of the methods used by the us and the u.s.s.r. during the cold war as killed often 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 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. by. russia had occupied many new territories bringing additional millions of people under communist. china for example but really make. bridge american river road worker makes

$10.00 a day more times more the who's to say the chinese can't strike back they've got hollywood scenes of their own the. really awful what happens when a. little one of them out on the campus is on the line to do a little digital. just listen to your sim and either 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 u.n. 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 freedoms financial rules and the internet and not officially 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 just have 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 policymakers 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 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 to international thanks for tuning in this hour. and now doing exactly. what the feel good percentage.
