it's closer to all out war as the. second week we report from inside the disputed caucuses territory. scenes like this one home on here in. this tiny village alone was battered by 6 massive is one of them this is all the devastation that it has left. tensions boil over in israel as government demonstrators. restrictions mass gatherings. infections seize the french

capital return to tough measures. thanks for joining us there are. welcome to the program we start with breaking news protesters have torn down a gate leading to the state committee for national security in protest that disputed elections the former president who had been convicted of corruption has also been released after demands from demonstrators where the current president is urging protest organizers to be reasonable. and stones broke into the national parliament which houses the presidential office. i am. pleased the country's health ministry is reporting that over 120 people have been

injured about half of them are police officers the opposition is demanding a new election as the vote was dominated by the 2 pro-government parties both taking $170.00 out of the $120.00 contested seats or many claim the vote was rigged after opposition parties were said to have failed to meet the minimum threshold needed to win any seeds central square has previously been the flashpoint of 2 revolutions in 20052010 however for the last decade the former soviet republic has enjoyed relative stability. coming back to our top story more than a week since a decade's old conflict between armenia and there's a by john burst back to life as a little side of peace on the horizon fighting is still raging over the disputed region of the garden of karabakh of the conflict has roots stretching more than 3 decades the region is controlled by ethnic armenians but is internationally recognized as part of by john now there has been almost continuous shelling and

kind of x. capital over the past week here some footage filmed by the armenian defense ministry. austerity's are now spreading beyond the disputed territory with several cells in azerbaijan being hit that's according to various area government claims some were struck by missiles by all media disputes that he goes out of reports for the troubled region. scenes 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. lives here and he's told me that he's not going anywhere bush. 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 and 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. the red cross says locals are from themselves and impossible situation having a terrible impact on civilians the humanitarian consequences are already apparent we're on the ground across the region and what we are seeing and hearing is that people are absolutely terrified being forced to make really impossible decisions on how to keep themselves and their families safe people are reportedly on the move

trying to find shelter on top of this disses all happening in the context where winter is coming people have already been dealing with a global coated pandemic we have been helping hospitals in nagorno-karabakh on request we've helped with emergency medical supplies our teams in the field it's quite restricted in terms of what they can do because of the volatility of the situation because the fighting is intense in places so we haven't actually even been able to get out of the house and do a full assessment as we as we would like to do but obviously people people do need support and people need help and where we can we've been stepping up and we obviously hope to do a lot more for the u.n. says more than 40 civilians have been killed in the disputed region since the fighting broke out just over a week ago a senior adviser to the president gave us his views on the escalating conflict. army. and friends talk the calls on this and the wars and we

have seen other provocations or army. actions all of this tense i once again the most effective. inside i think zach what 'd happened disturbance of september also come as a chance to come to the church and point to attack and we knew this was appropriations . we are concerned. and share with us that which. people come to this program i have received or i just was in one hour or 2 so it wasn't. landed after see if it was just school in the. local mirror so this prosecutor office hours or so then opens a new settlement but you know i think they didn't use it as a government but the story. in israel despite new coronavirus rules binding gatherings tens of thousands rallied over the weekend demanding the prime minister's resignation angry that benjamin netanyahu is

handling of the pandemic dozens were arrested reporting from tel aviv here's paula . i was 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 criticized 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 offices 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 the 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 but what we are hearing from

witnesses is that this is and his style the fateful moment they say that they will not be silenced at the organizers threatening. the protests will not stop. until the prime minister netanyahu his post this comes as criticism against the police in the way that they have been handing hold protests also close we heard from the country's defense minister. 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 i call in 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 because parenting 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 conflict 19 and

also they calling out against his corruption charges. tough new global restrictions are going to force paris out its surrounding suburbs because of a big spike in. fraud 17000 its number of daily infections. is our correspondent in paris charlotte. well the announcements came thick and fast on monday with the 1st announcement the limit on the number of people who can gather together there is a ban or 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. the 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 band of 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. 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 there were anybody watching them while they do that and the president of one bar cafe in braz. said the situation has been so tough on business owners that many of them now having to take antidepressants it is a great sadness and will be an economic disaster i'm afraid that economically and psychologically the damage will be much greater than the gruner virus there is also being and go down in france's 2nd city of mass say and that's because they are 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 where the paris by allowing restaurants to remain open is receiving some sort of preferential treatment so it seems that these covert restrictions are perhaps more controversial than many people would have thought. donald trump has left hospital and returned to work after treatment for corona virus in the past 4 days earlier the president tweeted that he was feeling really good though his doctors wanted a briefing afterwards he wasn't out of the woods quite yet in his tweet tromp also told people not to be afraid of the virus despite the fact over 200000 americans have lost their lives the world's worst death toll in the pandemic now on sunday evening truck briefly left his ward to greet supporters outside the walter reed

hospital traveling in his motorcade the president waved to the crowd while wearing a mask however there was still much speculation about the exact circumstances of him falling ill years or to get taylor with the details. 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 on thursday as he said i must sniff out more inaccuracy as confusions and conflicting reports the time that is my 1st query of course but that it 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 sketching 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 the 1st lady is doing very well there's a fever out why but i and my funeral outfit he doesn't have one was the washington post said that'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 nancy pelosi she's a good solid democrat then that's the question of intent some of my colleagues are suggesting that trump was a no win the super spreader what should we do with such covert criminals look them up of course comes doing notifying people of this 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. drew knew he had coded 19 traveled in a plain spoken event went into people's faces traveled by never worried anyone that he was exposing everyone in his airspace to go. in the hospital. if trump knew he had killed that 19 of the time who debate to do garden 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 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 cheering it on president trojan asphodel 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 deletion contest against donald trump we know it's descended into chaos either way all those people who are already dancing on traumas killed a 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. for. thinkers. because you know this is. right.

just. because. it's so i 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. still to come fears of what about environmental catastrophe are raised in russia's far east as masses of marine life begins washing up dead along the shores or that after the break. is your media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or inmate in the shallowness. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

come back to the program the global chemical weapons watchdog says it's ready to show russia the evidence it requested said to prove novacek was used to poison the kremlin critic alexina valmy. also says it's ready to send a team to russia to work with local experts on the ground meanwhile the russian foreign ministry has hit out at the position adopted by its western partners over the case. 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 like saying a volley in 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 how up and the volley is now out of the hospital but the european officials from germany and france in the 1st place keep blaming russia and threatening moscow with sanctions the. more there was very clearly insults and them assassination attempt was made on russian soil against a russian opponent with a chemical agent in the business in russia. and therefore it is on russia to give indispensable clarification that we will have to draw from the information that russia provides the consequences all its refusal to provide tariff occasion to use it short of i call on russia to do more to investigate this case the case such as

this must have consequences the therefore reserves the right to impose sanctions on 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 prevention of the use of chemical weapons the o. 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 of merkel has visited a likes a volley and the hospital while he was still there and now mr. 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'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 alexina vote only as soon as possible but the situation is outrageous it's exactly the same scenario it was in the so-called case when the charges were announced but no facts were presented. thousands of dead to sea creatures have washed ashore in russia's far east sparked in the sons of an ecological disaster off the coast of cumshots investigation is underway would solve bills of water marine life sent to moscow for examination the government says initial analysis show traces of oil is how the threats or is discovered.

600. naginata just for the past few weeks all the surface at the beach who went into the water were experiencing night 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 him several started showing other symptoms nausea fatigue and fever so it seemed quite dangerous to 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 then people started complaining about ira tastes and sore throats in general with. the posters this sometimes happens off the stone sea urchins new starfish often

washed up on the shore in large numbers but we haven't seen octopus is washed up for that strange reason. some of the local surface of 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. it is a data 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. the luggage and it was. all 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 it because the people. here.
