test his media pundits are ready to take it easy on the president who remains in hospital and in russia's far east approaching this launch from to toxic chemicals killing marine life is environmental groups warn of a aleutian catastrophe. hello there you're watching r.t. international this monday afternoon it's 3 o'clock am. now the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan which freak knighted over a week ago shows no signs of relenting as fighting continues in the region of nagorno karabakh the conflicts between the 2 nations in the area has roots stretching back over 3 decades the region is controlled by ethnic armenians but is internationally recognized as part of. that has been almost continuous shelling in

cutbacks capital here are some of the latest pictures. but hostilities in a spreading beyond the disputed territory to be several times in a speech on being hit according to these areas government stating that some of them were hit by missiles on the speech some of that information is our correspondent dan of reporting now from the kind of region. things like this one common here in the gorn i care about in fact this tiny village alone was battered by 6 massive

missiles here is where one of them landed and this is all the devastation that it has left but it is not where the azerbaijanis had hoped where it would land because we about we were just a few 100 meters away from the airport of step on a cart and here the airport it's much bigger than just taking people from point a to point b. it's political it's a symbol of independence and the symbol of allegiance of the local government to the authorities over menial and that is why i was there by john isn't happy at all that it's here in fact since since this airport was renovated and became operational again back in 2012 it became a regular target of attacks in fact it went as thereby john went as far as threatening to shoot down planes coming in and out of this airport but later backtracked saying that it would never target civilians but even if it doesn't even as it doesn't target civilians specifically will they still get the short end of

the stick as you can clearly see. but i talked to them i talked to the owner of this house who still lives here and he's told me that he's not going anywhere but. i've lived here for almost 20 years and i don't want to move away i will work your and stay until the end of my life and he's not the only one it's the general mood here as people prefer to stay and live in their homes even of bombs fall on their heads i guess done of reporting from the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh r.t. so i am a tuning representing the red cross in armenia does say that civilians in cattle back terrified to many have nowhere to go passages are now to do filtrate moving in and iran's the area is pretty limited because of the intensity of i think unfortunately of the situation you receive words and we see from recent polls of people were pretty terrified and don't know all. what to do to try to be

in a safer. place and basically this is really very worrying also on the onset of winter when children are just several weeks into last course and basically it's a day that people are trying to protect themselves and being anxious you know the nation's already severe situation rath ortiz in the region to say that nearly 20 civilians have died since the start of the renewed fighting however has a big chance defense ministry does insist it does not target civilians and a senior adviser to the has a beyond president gave us his views on the escalating conflict. army be a good. answer doctor of course. course and we have seen other patients are means live pictures all of this tense i was in the muscle to be able to come only one side but the exactly happened and that disturbance of september. as about trying to come to the church and home to attack our minister

was appropriations. we are concerned by our intensive attack and show in which incidents before come to us i have received or 'd i just was in one hour or 2 souls and shuttle that is landed after cigarettes which are just school when they got. near so those prosecutor's office hours are civil then. you sort of pause a bit you know i think they're going to use as a government but these 2 are on to. another nice thousands have rallied over the weekend in israel demanding the resignation of the prime minister benjamin netanyahu that is despite you controversial and legislation that does ban mass gatherings of people dozens were arrested as police struggle to enforce lockdown regulations on ultra-orthodox communities including injuries to them and also in the suburbs of tel aviv.

god well over the weekend we saw tales of thousands of protesters demonstrating throughout israel against the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu now mass protests are currently forbidden in the country and people are only allowed to gather within one kilometer from their home so the result is that was small we saw hundreds of small demonstrations taking place in tel aviv was one of the scenes where those demonstrations was altered in violence.

now the local police chief has complained to criticize protesters for using violence against police officers for example throwing eggs we know that $38.00 protestors were wasted in tel aviv alone for the violation of public water and at the same time for attacking police officers many protesters disturbed order blocked roads to ignore distractions of officers resorted to physical and verbal violence a large majority of virtually broke the emergency regulations when they gathered with no distancing not wearing masks and danger in public health now one of the organizations that has organized protests is known as the black flags movement and it is to make that the 100000 people out on the streets of the weekend that think it is difficult to independently verify it but what we are hearing from organizers is that this is an historic fateful moment they say that they will not be silenced

either organizers taking. but the protests will not be stopped but will instead go until the prime minister netanyahu leaves his post this comes as criticism against the police in the way that they have been handing the whole protest also grows we heard from the country's defense minister been against the attacks on protesters tonight and in recent days around thinkable demonstrations were held in accordance with the guidelines are religious and essential parts of a democracy are calling the police to find the attackers and bring them to justice now the country's prime minister benjamin netanyahu continues to insist that the way he's been handling the protests is legitimate and particularly the way he's been handling the whole pandemic is experiencing its 2nd lockdown however it's likely that these protests against the prime minister will continue in the weeks and months to come they're criticizing the way he's been handling coverage 19 and also they calling out against his corruption charges. that it hasn't been that long

since u.s. president donald trump announced he's tested positive for cope with 19 however doctors are reporting at the moment an improvement in his condition the fact he could be released to from hospital as early as monday while the u.s. president even briefly left his war to greet supporters who have gathered outside water reed hospital at one point his car passed close to a security fence and could be seen wearing a mask and also waving to the crowd however the media is still rife with speculation about the exact circumstances surrounding the president falling ill with more his sask. i want to experience the roller coaster of being an american in october 2020 so a bit of a stretch i know but imagine i mean media pundit in the us off to trump's covert announcement so my 1st question obviously when was he diagnosed just 72 hours into the diagnosis now the 1st week but 72 hours i mean he found out on wednesday not

want us to as he said i must sniff out more inaccuracy as confusions and conflicting reports the time night is my 1st query of course but that has been cleared up in a memo not that convincing though the white house is clearly sketchy and involved in some kind of cover up also there was a misspelling in the memo i'm sure we can read something into that something terrible and sketchy obviously then we come to symptoms of the bad are they very very bad how fatal is oxygenation levels how bunning is his fever was he taken to hospital because he's literally at death's door as before it's clear the white house is covering it all up. and not just the doctors who say he's actually feeling fine his videos while probably a body double think. we're going to make sure things were reversed doing visit fever why but i in my funeral outfit he doesn't have one was the washington post said but it's not particularly encouraging either way let's pass

the wost case scenario and even back to the power not to my pants of course no no to not see pelosi she's a good solid democrat but then there's the question of intent some of my colleagues are suggesting that trump was a no wing super spreta what should we do with such covert criminals look them up of course trumps doing know to find people of. constitutes reckless endangerment in the 1st degree he presented a genuine risk of death to another person in a way demonstrating a deprived indifference to human life. so blown trump knew he had covert 19 traveled on a plain spoken event went into people's faces traveled back never wearing a mask or telling anyone that he was exposing everyone in his a space to covert 19 and peaches in the hospital. if trump knew he had killed that 19 of the time who debate to joe biden he should be charged with assault oh speaking of the debate even molony is not as innocent as she looks molony was the

only trump family member who wore a mosque during the debate then she took it off when she went up on stage with the bidens were was she purposefully trying to infect joe biden don't put it past her she's evil just listen to the tapes on the topic of those tapes it's obvious from these leaked phone calls with her trusted formally 8 that she did really miss being in the white house. working that. i knew. about. it right so it's agreed she'll stop at nothing to stay for a few more festive seasons meanwhile as my colleagues predict trumps imminent death there are some out there who are sharing it on president trips in a hospital from colbert and i just was same our heart goes out to covert. social media platforms even had to step in and take down the thousands of posts wishing trump dead i mean if twittering coa delete and contest against donald trump

we know it's descended into chaos either way all those people who already dancing on trying to kill to grave need not worry because that chosen candidate might be the oldest democratic nominee ever but you know matata he's an a for the long run he's. color. thinkers. because you know this is the. right. word just. because. it's like can say is this is really building anticipation for the upcoming 3 peat debate which if you really think about it all things considered looks a lot like a presidential debate i cannot wait for november. thank you taylor there now elsewhere the latest test result the european commission president of not long been announced we told you earlier that is full of underlined was in isolation after possibly come back to

a person with it and find out more about her test results on our web site at r.t. dot com. a mockery of common sense that's what russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov is calling the line taken by western countries over the alleged poisoning of the russian opposition figurehead alexina valmy now let's get more details on this now with our correspondent who joins us it seems the russian government is losing patience isn't it in this case just run through them what mr lavrov has said. andrew good afternoon well i don't know whether this is a case of losing patience yet but i can tell you that in his very latest comments about the alexina volley case the russian top diplomat was scathing in his criticism of western countries and he pretty much blame them for lacking common sense or refusing to use common sense all together.

this is just a mockery of common sense in my opinion it is clear to everyone it is also clear to our western colleagues who are denying our request which is based on a binding international convention. well here is mentioning a european convention which outlines the rules of international legal assistance in this particular case moscow is outraged by the fact that berlin has already nord 3 requests from moscow for a joint investigation on what happened to the opposition activists alexina vali i can remind you that he fell severely ill while he was on the flight from siberia to moscow the pilots went for an emergency landing in the russian city of the doctors were fighting for the volleys life then upon the request of his relatives he was moved to berlin and eventually the drammen officials started saying that the

opposition activist was poisoned with a nerve agent of the novice group however russia hasn't seen any evidence russian officials were trying to ask for some kind of probe test results they were trying to get access to alexina volley diplomats in particular but none of that happened in the volley is now out of the hospital but the european officials germany and france from germany and france in the 1st place keep blaming russia and threatening moscow with sanctions. take them all there was very clearly insults and them assassination attempt was made on russian soil against a russian opponents with a chemical agent not business related in russia. and therefore it is on russia to get. indispensable clarification that we will have to drill from the information

that russia provides the consequences will its refusal to provide tariff occasion. i call on russia to do more to investigate this case a case such as this must have consequences the for reserves the right to impose sanctions. for the head of the german government angola merkel has been more cautious in her statements she's calling on everyone to wait for the results of a report by the organization for the pro mention of the use of chemical weapons the oh p c w we remember that germany passed all the information it allegedly has on. to that organization but russia maintains that the 2 countries could cooperate bilaterally on investigating this case i can also tell you that angle markel house visited alexei vali and this charity hospital while he was still there now

mr a lot of in his part continues to maintain that moscow is looking forward and is absolutely interested in a joint investigation of the alleged poisoning and this has been moscow live moscow's line from the very beginning here's what else the russian foreign minister said. of course we are interested in establishing the truth about what happened with election of only as soon as possible but the situation is outrageous it's exactly the same scenario as in the so-called script called case when the charges were announced but no facts were presented. well in this particular case of course everything depends on what's going to happen next when the most senior officials of russia and the western countries get together maybe. or how of phone conversations and out that point we will find out

if the russian side will finally get some kind of reaction and. possibly some kind of agreement for cooperation sure ok thanks a lot it was obviously a prank there with the latest. still ahead feeds our correspondents are set to close the authorities there. due to skyrocketing corona virus infections that's among the stories still to come just off the grid. the world is driven by shaped by one percent of those with.

no dairy thinks. we dare to ask. anyone else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out these days become educated and in games from an equal speech trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

welcome back russia's far east there are grave concerns over an ecological disaster off the coast of kamchatka of dead sea animals have reportedly been washed ashore there and an investigation is now underway with water sand and samples of the marine life sent to moscow for examination well here's how the threat was discovered. the national interest for the past few weeks all the surface at the beach who went into the water were experiencing not problems i face who didn't pay too much attention to their symptoms we initially put it down to the bright sun and strong winds but when the problems persisted on cloudy days too we became worried for started showing other symptoms nausea fatigue and fever so it seemed quite dangerous in a slideshow of some of the 1st sign was some of the surface feeling sick we thought

it was a rotavirus something to do with the drinking water and then people started complaining about ira tastes and sore throats in general with. the posters this sometimes happens off to stone sea urchins new star fish often washed up on the shore in large numbers but we haven't seen octopuses wash up before that strange. some of the local surface of so the animals have been behaving strangely to me in particular the ring seals would swim with us they usually only come up for spending most of the time on the water is now when they break the surface they stay up for quite a while. she wouldn't it is a dud to dust we received test results from the water. we took showed hoyle based

products were 4 times over the limit and final was twice the limit. for. you to use. the possible causes for the disaster are all. local milk the reactions make it all for. some commercial temper or some problems at the local toxic chemicals. which is what did you notice just get off your. duff french authorities have rolled out new restrictions in paris our neighboring suburbs to you because of the corona virus the country is currently seeing a steep resurgence in cobi cases and on saturday france did register its highest

daily figure since the outbreak of the pandemic nearly 17000 infections let's get more news now charlotte joins us from paris good afternoon charlotte just tell us more then about these latest measures that are being introduced. well the announcements came thick and fast on monday with the 1st announcement the limits on the number of people who can gather together there is a ban on more than 10 people gathering together in public spaces and in places like stadiums there is a limit of a 1000 people that though doesn't apply to protests if they have got the ability to go ahead now we know that bars will shut down in paris and the in the suburbs from tuesday but restaurants will be able to remain open a restaurant will be defined as a place whose main activity of business is selling meals but the selling of alcohol

and the consumption of alcohol in public spaces will be banned after 10 pm in the evening now outlining these measures the paris police prefects said that this was because the epidemic was coming too hard too fast and something need to be done before it overwhelmed the health system. please paula casual measures will be taken for the next 15 days with a reassessment at the end of these 15 days to see whether or not we will renew a certain number of measures whether we will change them. other announcements are a ban on festival student parties and we know that swimming pools games rooms and dance halls will all be closed as a result of the new measures outlined and universities will see a repeat deuced capacity of only 50 percent of the numbers that they can normally hold the mare of paris described the measures as being very hard.

chris and we know that the health crisis is have an extremely dramatic consequences for many families and dramatic consequences for the economic activity of our country and our capital there's also be concern from industry groups over the fact that those bars will close they say that that's going to force young people into drinking at home and that they won't be any health protocols they owe anybody watching them while they do that and the president of one bar cafe in braz a re association said the situation has been so tough on business owners that many of them now having to take antidepressants. it is a great sadness it will be an economic disaster i'm afraid that economically and psychologically the damage will be much greater than the groaner virus. there is also being and go down in france's 2nd city of mass say and that's because they're less than impressed by the fact that restaurants will be allowed to stay open in

paris if you just think back to a week ago when marsay was put in a maximum alert zone they were told all of the restaurants would have to close now there were protests and people going out to the streets who were unhappy with those restrictions but there is a question now as to whether paris a by allowing restaurants to remain open is receiving some sort of preferential treatment but as a result of that the restaurants in mass say will now be able to open with immediate effect and part of this sort of die. berge between what's happening in paris must say has caused the leaders down there to say that they are now setting up their own scientific council and i quote and that's because they no longer want to have diktats coming from paris so it seems that these covert restrictions are perhaps more controversial than many people would have thought. developments there thanks charlotte michelle of the busy life force there in paris. just coming up to
