trump contracts coronavirus. on environmental groups. launched into toxic chemicals killing sea life. bringing your recount of the top stories from the past 7 days and right up to the minute developments as well this is the weekly on r t international hello and welcome. we start with the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan which has now entered the 2nd week the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh is being rhode island cliffs leaf shelled and these are some of the latest pictures we've received from the local council showing burning cars residential buildings being hit across the city the number of casualties is so far

on here earlier in the week a hospital was hit in nurse strike several residential buildings were also badly damaged still ities are no spilling beyond the disputed territory with several tons in azerbaijan bombed the city of gun came under fire earlier on sunday and injured john claims a person was killed 32 more wounded on friday the town of tara was also attacked by a kook claims thousands of shells were used in that rate since the start of the conflict. 24 civilians have been killed and over 100 people injured here is r t s morocco's the. world with seeing unfortunately events down a path that was feared by many but few thought that we would get here many people thought that things would deescalate this specially 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 out unprecedented terrifying

bombardment of step on like at the biggest settlement the biggest doubt in the war zone and during that bombardment at some point authorities came out looking at forty's and said look if is it about 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 gadget they have confirmed that's the city of ganja the 2nd biggest city in 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 missile strikes this 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 is the golden corral box said but populated areas civilian areas turkey has come out very strongly against this kind of bug strike on ganja they're blaming this on armenians and saying that this was essentially a war crowd which is facing defeat and thereby johnny to reduce the desire to start getting civilian residential areas in the 2nd largest city of his or by john john john why do done so many of violates all 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. 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 syria turi of armenia look more than that our 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 installations or targets inside armenia profit if it but leaves that that military target for. lived upon populated areas inside as it about drought all in all the seas a very significant escalation because obviously armenia itself has a defense pact with russia so if armenia 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 another over correspondents has been in the conflict zone throughout the week with his report on friday's shelling of the covered by capital here see which is one of. it 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 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 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 journeys 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. well in the army and capital there's been an outpouring of support for those trapped in the current conflict zone people are collecting donations of food so of clothes other supplies as well to send to the region. is inhabited almost entirely by armenians and many have been left homeless by the ongoing military bombardment we talked to some of the volunteers in your of on. this is abuse the bill and initiative people are donating supplies nonstop here everything is sorted and sent to the warehouse every person in armenia wants to be involved and help in whatever way they can. but that was devoted to the spirit of our people can now be broken we are all united because personal grievances against the government or anyone else because. journalists in

the corner are caught up are very getting caught in the crossfire 24 were injured in a shell strike on whedon's they include into french reporters they were lifted to your advance for treatment and are now back in france and on thursday i cameraman from an armenian t.v. channel was severely injured during shelling these are pictures of his car earlier i spoke to eldar resume loff journalist from. the t.v. channel he described the damage on the side of the border to me. we have seen. destroyed houses destroyed ambulances this droid infrastructure is there there are people from civil population people that have nothing to do with the actions that are used to leave their houses refuse to leave their region armenians are accusing azerbaijan of targeting civilians we know civilians have lost their lives in this conflict is that what is happening talking about. that's

a complete nonsense the military command. that are there by janet army does not target civilian people as well as. infrastructure that target. army are firing positions. we were in pressed structures in the occupied territories either by john doesn't fight against civilians out there by john is fighting for liberation it's all territories. the conflict reignited last sunday but that house route stretching back over 3 decades the enclave broke away from azerbaijan in 1908 but the area has not been widely recognized as a sovereign state. we

have only one condition that armenia leaves our lands completely and immediately. 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 or 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 kobe had 19 aside from health concerns the us president's condition hospital election plans into disarray including the 2nd round

debate with rival joe biden their 1st loss was a chaotic and for this week marred by interruptions and insults all quarter discussed. listen respectfully to each other's opinions i'm not here to call others lies everybody knows he's a liar levy used the word smart with me though never used that word because you know what it is nothing smart about you joe what do you should excuse the one who saw your number to know he's prudence but i get my time back if you are interruptions i'm appealing to you sort of do get him to well frankly you've been doing more than a lot of the children but he does plenty well less than what he's just shows for a minute bloody nice doing all that i want in their lives when i fight on your side because i'm going to do it because you are president sure things up you are a senator and the worst with resumes america is ever. going to try. to get any word with this clown directly 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. 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's the 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 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. 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 in the one that i think of it was a twister it was a wild ride to write it when left there was a lot going on there was 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 there are their guy won the debate every day voters are really kind of taking

a sort of i'd rather laugh than cry approach. and. there. we asked former republican state senator john loudon international affairs expert sophia mclennan for their thoughts on the 1st debate airs a little doubt trump who lost his composure he was repeatedly interrupting and. seemed overly emotional and somewhat hysterical i was disappointed to see it in his side to sort of stoop to that kind of

behavior he tends to be very dismissive and goalie and in fact you name call it's certainly not presidential it's not the kind of. behavior that you really want to see any candidate i'm not sure 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 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. watching our teacher national still ahead surfers and beachgoers and rushes for east report hundreds of dead sea creatures washed he sure is working fears of an environmental disaster we'll delve into that it's up to the

brain. join me every. time i'm sure i'll be speaking to us from the world of sports i'm sure i'll see you then. lead.

hello again russia's environmental regulators are investigating a spike in sea pollution in the country's far east the problem was the texan off the coast of come check it editor in chief of the russia beyond online magazine visited the area and spoke to us. i'm currently in the post i'm just a couple of i'm trying to reach there is a make a logical disaster that you like to see between just reading the one verse of

a 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 actions 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 floor and some dead shellfish but not in the amounts like you've probably seen on some user videos like they were a little bit scattered around the beach they're real like selected that fish there but not like piles of dead sea lion stuff like that i didn't see any big sea and. i've talked to some sort of 1st wolf locals and visitors and they confirmed they have stock in wasn't too water and it hurt their eyes and some of them he wouldn't have like chemical burns of their eyes and they had to consult

a doctor and it started 3 weeks ago so definitely a soft thing 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. the exceeded the norms 4 times and for what it's 4 times in the water it will soften definitely happen can chant because governor 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 officials 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. another story we're keeping a close eye on today there is no sign of let up in the post-election on rest sweeping bella roost crowds gathered in minsk right sunday 8 weeks after president lukashenko was reelected in a disputed dollars at least $48.00 people were arrested on the day at one point riot police used a water coming truck to target the demonstrators who for damaging the vehicle there was a heavy security presence throughout the capital subway stations were shut down for several hours the march by the way went ahead without official permission it follows almost 2 months of public calls for president lukashenko to resign earlier

this week the european union sanctions on 40 dollar russian officials over claims of election rigging violence against protesters responded by blacklisting european officials. the f.b.i. has released a short film demonstrating the dangers of chinese intelligence recruitment and whatever the propaganda style video reminded many of the methods used by the us on the u.s.s.r. during the cold war kill up and takes up the story. 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 work route 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 need to as 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. russia had occupied many new

territories bringing additional millions of people under communist control. for example but really make. bridge american really 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. really awful what happens when a. little one of them out on the planet is on the line to do a little digital. just listen to yourself 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 world cannot afford the future lead to too much as the economy of speed 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 also spoke to politics professor duce of 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 now it surely must rank as one of the worst things that can happen

to a person being sent to a maximum security jail for a crime he didn't commit next we speak to 2 innocent men who spent decades behind bars in the u.s. survivors' guide to prison starts in a moment. the world is driven by dreams shaped by. the dangers thinks. we should ask.
