violent resistance against a police raid. because of what unfortunately innocent civilians suffer from the anti-terrorist telfer group preet that was sent to capture me the violence and cynicism of the current authorities are insane besides rubber bullets to special forces also used combat weapons one more time i call in the authorities to change their course and i would like to tell soldiers do not true to your own people this is all good. to end badly for you at this point the situation is precarious because the protesters aren't going anywhere they have now voiced plans to install a new temporary prime minister to oversee read the running of the country in prayer preparations for for new elections the president in turn was adamant that what

happened in bishkek was an illegal attempts by protesters by those who had lost to seize power this qana trouble for views around the world just kind of a picture for us is it unusual for kurdistan or not now this this isn't the 1st time with seeing events like this the reason that the government went out of its way to try and make this election or make it seem as if it was plural was because of the. street in the past 30 years there have been 3 civil revolutions protesters out on the streets calling for regime change the 1st president after 15 years in power was forced out by a street protest the 2nd xcel doubt of the country and now this is happening for a 3rd time unfortunately given give you start history there is a new telling which way events will unfold. senior correspondent

a local journalist in bishkek then sent us this report on the unrest this group that city. the main event of the previous night is the seizure of the government headquarters that's when people started saying it's a 3rd revolution rallies continue in the city center people are in high spirits everyone is looking forward to former president autumn byard speech it's going to be his 1st public address since after he was detained however not everyone is happy about his release the reaction is quite mixed on that but we are questioning our future now the president has called these events an attempt at illegitimate change of power the day as you are authorities still formally exists but we don't know where the prime minister spokesperson or bishkek mayor are we don't see any police around so it's difficult to speak about the presence of authorities meanwhile candidates from the losing parties have taken over several major offices we'll keep

you posted on this next though donald trump back in the white house this lunchtime he was discharged from hospital spent nearly 3 days since testing positive for covert 90. but i learned so much about coronavirus and one thing that's for certain don't let it dominate you don't be afraid of it i didn't feel so good and 2 days ago i could have left 2 days ago 2 days ago felt great we're going back we're going back to work we're going to be out front as your leader i had to do that and i know there's a risk there's a danger but that's ok and now i'm better and maybe i'm immune i don't know but don't let it dominate your lives get out there be careful we have the best medicines in the world well typically bullish tone but those comments infuriated many medical experts who said it downplayed the deadly threat of the virus truck made the statement a few hours after leaving hospital following his release the presidential

helicopter touched down in washington with the u.s. leaders and see for yourself going to the white has publicly and then removing his mouse to pose for photos all this is the american people are still badly affected to the northeast is seeing another big spike in covert cases new york city's already set to close schools now in several neighborhoods getting hard hit by the virus the new restrictions come into force choose day. number one concern has always been schools i would not send my child to a school in a hot spot cluster that is not interested we're going to close the schools in those areas tomorrow the u.s. as a whole remains the world's top hotspot for the pandemic on friday new infections hit a 2 month record with over 54000 positive cases that's the highest daily tally since the middle of august when the country recorded just over 64000 cases we've heard from new yorkers about the decision now to close schools. why was he thought

mills closed there is no great optically at what was my son's school which is actually to want to toy with out loud to the class and it's for the safety of the students of the day that they're probably going to get down to making the most of. this somewhat discouraging at the same time but. whatever whatever needs to be done they're doing it you know that the school to give it or don't tell us corresponding kellam open next looks into 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 violating entities notify the states and to

close all business activity in hotspots where local governments come to comply now cuomo says 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 illegal i think it would be economic chaos the decision around nursing home with governor cuomo decreeing that coded 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've lost their lives on your political enemies was it a mistake when your brother implemented a policy that nursing homes had to accept kovan positive patients and endangered the lives of my brother was the 1st i want to say state that there was a learning cuomo has also faced criticism for allowing black lives matter protests to take place despite talking up the risks we're talking about reopening in one week in new york city. and now we're seeing these methods maersk. the rings over the past several minutes that could in fact exacerbate the covert 9 team spirit now despite his policy differences with the white house new york state governor andrew cuomo sent his best wishes to president donald trump when he got coded 19 that is unlike new york city's mayor bill de blasio who saw it as an opportunity to take the president to task i think it's another reminder of why what some of us have

been saying is right wear masks practice social distancing and take it seriously this president obviously didn't do it and paid the price party lines power and position mean nothing to the coronavirus everyone is at risk now 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 well andrew cuomo is a leading figure within the democratic party of the democratic party strategy. during this 2020 a lecture and has to run again in a strumpet and to run against coded new york has had the worst record in his handling. of it in the country i mean new york has had the worst. case death rate statistics and the worst sprayed the incidence of cope in the country because much of the media in the united states is entirely

in coots with the democratic party cuomo hasn't suffered any consequences on that so yes it's hypocritical but he can get away with it he's going to blame him to go with trump and pose as the hero who somehow save new york at the same time in the media and watch and allow him to get away with it. violence rages on between as opposed to on and on media with continuing heavy fighting. the disputed nagorno-karabakh enclave the region's internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan but it's run by ethnic armenians here is some of the most recent images from the battlefield released by both countries meaning forces released this video of an azeri tank being destroyed while these areas presented footage of a village quote liberated from occupation along with what they claim is captured military equipment a correspondent he goes down off next and brings us up to speed from an armenian

town on the border very close by the trouble. we're about 20 minutes away from the go and i care about 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 the give 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 air by johnny soldiers and the rest of the army fled i swear 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 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 therefore legally aren't part of the mobilization to volunteer have a listen 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 a life and death struggle that's as the capital of nagorno-karabakh the city of where we lived for the past for the past. so it is being bombed relentlessly ruthlessly in fact sources on the ground are telling me that the scale of the bombings of the azerbaijani bombings there have been absolutely unprecedented this is why our crew and other international journalists unfortunately had to leave that beautiful town simply because it is too unsafe there we are hoping to get back there as soon as the situation more or less stabilizes and so that's as the as there by johnny president called on turkey to get involved in. this conflict not

militarily but at least to be part of the solution this comes amid mounting reports that turkey is already neck deep in this conflict helping there by johnnie forces on the ground and also there is an international consensus and some evidence that will turkey is helping as a by john hiatt and recruit 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 is russia and france released a joint statement calling on both sides to mediately cease fire and promising to intensify diplomatic pressure on both sides thereby john key and death already of the unrecognised nagorno-karabakh so i will be standing by and hopefully bring you move from the ground soon. then on the other side of this things are also heating up in azerbaijan the territory near the disputed area the government says the 2nd

largest city in the country came under fire monday in what you're seeing is a market or what's left of it after the accusation as it was shelled these areas soroti saying that the armenian side though denying that they fired on is very territory so that sparks playing meantime as aries outside the conflict zone a doing all they can to chip in reporting next is mild fatality have from the capital back. in the wake of the recent advances of the words an army in the continent. people both in who are in the region of the consulate it is and one make their own contribution. for their progress in all this hold it throughout the capital several collection points by activists this initiative of the people they want something from they are all the rage is a sense just from riot trucks just today was sent about 150 boxes

i think a big portion of the salary we must be spent this way and we here to stand our support to frontline troops we want to assure our soldiers there we're always with them. statement even should that be expressed big retinue to the people for this but in the same time they said that people military personnel leave well equipped and provide it was all neat and in order to prevent any kind or misuse and irrational or he she knew thought the pentagon set up a temporary hotline where people can get in touch with the officers in the missile defense and then they will help them to distribute the assistance to the destination final destination that of the soldier or the national army. and the shooting continues dozens of civilians have also lost their lives on both sides infrastructure. going to care about has been severely damaged as a result of the fighting many humanitarian organizations are alarmed by the

escalation of violence of 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 we are on the ground across the region and what we are seeing and hearing is that people are absolutely terrified and being forced to make really impossible decisions on how to teach themselves and their families safe people are reportedly on the move trying to find shelter on top of statistics is all happening in the context where winter is coming people have already been dealing with dayglo bokova pandemic we have been helping hospitals in the corner kyra back 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 it develops realty of the situation because the fighting is intense in places so we haven't actually even been able to get out

of those 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 it's just turned 20 past the hour this is r.t. international this is coming up outrage in a canadian province where medical personnel were caught on camera insulting a dying patient. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you there.

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. for a mate in the shallow. an indigenous family count of this quebec province of filed a lawsuit against

a hospital after a woman there died while medical staff were caught on camera insulting that joyce passed away last monday at the age of 37 the mother of 7 had been admitted to hospital with severe stomach pains and though the history of heart problems during a final hours joyce live streamed her treatment in hospital a warning this video is upsetting. well it. was. the. fact that it was there was a lot. of video caused a public outcry with several protest marches over it in quebec including outside the hospital where joyce died the canadian prime minister addressed the issue in parliament when the state woman's husband claims her death was caused by negligence

and racism but i am here to ensure justice would draw is justice for my children justice for my nation i am convinced that systemic racism contaminated hospital and my partner truly killer deal with issue 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 help the most this is an example of systemic racism that is simply unacceptable in canada. a nurse another hospital worker who heard insulting joyce in the video have been since sacked quebec authorities say the deaths being investigated too by the local health agency and coroner one of the 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 where 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 in 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 about rallies were organized across the whole country other ethnic groups support. german chancellor angela merkel is meeting with the belarusian presidential candidate is fairly taken off later today a german government spokesperson said she'll be welcomed as a key opposition figure in belarus taken off sky has been in the south exile in lithuania since the contested election which sparked nationwide protests the e.u. and us have joined by the russian opposition in denouncing the result as rigged or ticket oscar arrived in berlin on monday where she took part in a solidarity rally organized by the better russian to asper there during the event the opposition leader also reportedly said she'd like to meet with the russian

hope that germany's role in resolving this issue is the mediator will be one of the most important angela merkel is viewed as perhaps the best face for mediation the other real option was a manual might call the french president but he has been quite publicly outspoken in his criticism of alexander lukashenko and in his support of the opposition angular merkel's government has said they don't recognize the result of august selection however the chancellor of self has really kept her powder dry while giving her support to the opposition figures. that's 4th take it up a year i will meet with their positions to hand off square one we see brief women taking to the streets calling for corruption free life i cannot but it my that. or president my corn in france and chancellor merkel here in germany were 2 of the biggest in loudest voices saying that last being go outside interference in bella
