3:08 am
actually to want to toy with out loud to the closet it's for the safety of the students of the day that they're fully shutting it down and making the most of. this somewhat discouraging at the same time but. whatever the whatever needs to be done they're doing it you know that the school to take a minute or 2 and a corresponding kellam open next looks at why new york is again facing a viral spike. the rate of infection in new york city is rising once again the highest numbers we've seen sense back in may so who is to blame for this well new york state governor andrew cuomo says the buck stops with local officials. say go over effective enforcement for every jurisdiction for local jurisdiction cannot or will perform effective enforcement of violating entities notify the states and to close all business activity in hotspots where local governments come to comply
3:09 am
now cuomo said words have led to allegations of hypocrisy he's criticizing local officials for not doing what he has recommended well back earlier during the pandemic he was criticized for not doing what federal officials recommended i don't believe that any federal administration could be serious about physical lock downs of states or parts of states across this country i don't believe it's legal i think it would be economic chaos the decision around nursing home with governor cuomo decreeing that co that 19 patients should be sent there at a pretty big impact many have not forgotten what they see is a pretty big misjudgment that cost many lives there is something disgusting that democrats are doing that joe biden does and that you do which is you try to blame the people who lost their lives on your political enemies was it

3:11 am
mean nothing to the coronavirus everyone is at risk now in new york governor andrew cuomo admits the leaders of the state have made some pretty big mistakes along the way however he still wants everyone to believe that he is the guy to lead us through the crisis mop and r.t. new york. keep it across this next few the violence raging on between as oppose young male mania with continuing heavy fighting over the disputed new gold clave the region's internationally recognized as part of as above but it's run by ethnic armenians correspondent it goes down off brings us up to speed from the armenian on the border of the. about 20 minutes away from the girl in a cab back to this disputed region where clashes have continued and fierce clashes it's difficult to paint an objective picture as to what the situation is like on the frontlines and that's because both sides armenia and azerbaijan they give
3:12 am
contradicting statements for instance just yesterday i mean announced what they called a tactical retreat saying that they had to abandon several positions but they only did so in order to avoid mass casualties and to deal more damage to the enemy later in the day they had said that well their plan worked that they managed to kill some 200 as they are by johnny soldiers and the rest of the army fled their by john in turn denied all of that saying that they have complete dominance on the battlefield and that they managed to capture several villages so you see how difficult it is to tell what exactly is going on there but this comes to the tune of the armenian prime minister calling on all conscripts on all army conscripts who were discharged in the past year and they're full legally and part of the mobilization to volunteer and have a listen yes i want to appeal to our guys discharged from military service over the past year come to the center recruitment office and enlist in the army this is

3:14 am
syrian militants to fight on their side this is something that both turkey and israel by john vehemently deny and now the united states state department and the foreign ministry of russia and france released a joint statement calling on both sides to mediately cease fire. promising to intensify diplomatic pressure on both sides or by john key. and the words of the unrecognised nagorno-karabakh so i will be standing by and hopefully bring you move from the ground soon if you go across the border the meantime things are also heating up in the us appreciate territory near the disputed area the government says the 2nd largest city in the country came under fire on monday voicing now latest pictures in from a market there was left of it that was shelled according to his area florida keys time is areas outside the conflict so doing all they can to chip in reporting next is small fatality from the capital but. in the wake of the recent advances of the

3:17 am
to prevent any kind or misuse irrational or species in the food stamp who knew congress and they are there is. the president set off 'd a temporary halt flight where people can get in touch with the missile defense and then be they will help them to redistribute the assistance to the destination final destination that is the soldier or national army. as the shooting continues dozens of civilians of also lost their lives on both sides infrastructure to go in a car a box also been severely damaged as a result of fighting many humanitarian organizations are alarmed by the escalation of the violence there and the casualties among civilians we spoke to the red cross which says locals have found themselves in an impossible situation. it's having a terrible impact on civilians the humanitarian consequences are already apparent

an arms race. theory dramatic developments only and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down in. an indigenous family in canada's quebec province of fodder lawsuit against the hospital after a woman died while medical staff were caught on camera insulting her joy says she can passed away last monday at the age of 37 the mother of 7 had been admitted to hospital with severe stomach pains at the time and a history of heart problems during her final hours joyce lifestream to her

treatment in hospital and just a warning you will find this video upsetting. but it was one of the. seeing and hearing that caused public outcry with several protest marches in quebec over it including outside the hospital where joyce died the canadian prime minister addressed the issue in parliament on wednesday the woman's husband claims her death was caused by negligence and racism. logically i am here to ensure justice would draw is justice when my children justice for my nation i am convinced that systemic racism contaminated hospital and killed my partner truly galatea weakish and ian's were shocked to see this video of joyce kwan's final moments what happened was the worst form of racism when someone needed
3:22 am
help the most i think this is an example of systemic racism that is simply unacceptable in canada. and i saw another hospital worker who heard assaulting joyce in the video says ms sack who back authorities said death being investigated by the local health agency other coroner one of her relatives says racism is a daily fact of life for indigenous people in canada. i can say that joyce's case is unfortunately not unique we're always treated differently and it doesn't depend on whether it's a public service or shop or anything else the problem is that we have systemic racism in all spheres we want justice we want to be treated differently nobody defends us and when we try to defend ourselves we often taken for terrorists or criminals when your community is so small it's very difficult to protest this sad event has given energy to the justice for joyce movement it's been much talked
