it's a little bit established in the understand why the 1st one just populism on the right . and as it comes together for talks in moscow it follows that in the school to end hostilities. also this income is shelling destroys in the story in the disputed region civilian losses of growing journalists also in the line of fire we hear from others 2 sons of fighting on both sides of the frontline . we all have kids serving i can share my emotions in church only i feel i haven't slept properly since september 27th as the soldiers mother and as a citizen of is there a time as i myself am on the frontline i'm french president of the arabic language taught in schools to clamp down on radical islam although the plan as many.

international just 5 o'clock in the raw a breakthrough can be reached today in the basic conflict that has erupted between mania and as a page on the foreign ministers of both countries have just sat down for talks in moscow so let's get some more details with them on kosovo. what are the expectations here. or certainly great expectations the eyes of the world are right now on the russian capital over the talks between the foreign ministers of armenia and azerbaijan mediated by their russian counterpart sergei lavrov has already begun their way at the moment journalists were allowed in for about 30 seconds for there to witness. initial

encounter then everybody was asked to step outside as the talks continued behind closed doors once again their ongoing right now as we speak meanwhile earlier vladimir putin called for and who has still it sees in my gourd me. to allow for the exchange of bodies and prisoners and for all the humanitarian reasons let's have a. russia's president who scored would be into the steward's assume the mcgauran the core of conflict zone for humanitarian reasons he's also suggested the 2 sides look at an exchange of prisoners and the remains of those killed. in. this meeting is always sculptured in terms of time lines and of course we here will be here to finds out what's the outcome so awful r.t. i will bring it to. you ok thank you. for the latest there on the meeting between the 2 foreign ministers. while fighting just

continue to rage between the 2 countries in the story cathedral at the heart of the disputed region now lies in ruins after being shelled 3 russian journalists nearby were also injured one of them seriously here's the aftermath of that shelling which hit the church twice in the same day the foreign the armenian foreign ministries blaming the seri forces and says that they do pose a threat to the civilized world meanwhile the syrian authorities say that 7 people have been injured in recent shelling by armenian forces rockets hit a restaurant in the city of bar and severely damaged a school there. since the decade's old conflict back into life 2 weeks ago fighting has only been intensifying the fiercest clashes have been reported in the south of the disputed region. dan off is near the border and talk to some of the armenian women who have seen their sons head off to war they spoke of both pride and weary

sentiments echoed on the other side too. arsenic lives a modest life as she's inviting us in her apartment it's almost like we've traveled back in time the house is 137 years old and has been home to generations of her ancestors she offers us coffee and it was the astley be good to talk about her son fighting in the back while he was conscripted when he came of age the usual service he was on the 7th of january he had been serving for 10 months he was in hundreds from the very beginning from base to chechnya and backwards i didn't know that he was sent to the front line i found out by chance he hadn't called me for 4 days afterwards and when he called he said nothing about being on the frontline others told me about it. his son is fighting on the southern front near the town of the desert for a 1000000 forces it's a life or death bastion of defense and for their by journeys

a clue szell gateway to flood the region with own troops. as mc son is right there trying to stop the relentless onslaught of his enemy his mother waits patiently for an occasional call from him when they do come they're all too brief for his own safety all he can tell is everything's fine so he calls me i don't he calls me to say that he's fine and that's it it doesn't happen often once in 23 days at the beginning he used to call me once in 4 days now more often the war hasn't changed my routine a lot but we do communicate a lot with other mothers whose kids are on the front asking each other about them

we all have kids serving i can ringback share my emotions in church. only i feel bad but i can sure it only when i light a candle in church i keep everything inside. sending a son into the line of fire is soul destroying for any mother but in this conflict it seems there is no greater on up yes apart than one i'm proud of having such a child no mother knowing there is currently a war in the garden harbor will call me rest her head on a pillow during calls and conversations he always told us that he was very far from the front line we learned that he had been allocated to serve in the garden carver and i'm very proud you support them. i'm proud to the to have a son who is a soldier now serving in one of the military units in the one car a buck i know they're strong i know how he's doing he's in a fight in spirit and he inspires me to the strong here at home asked me hopes the fighting will be over soon and his son will come home and return to his studies

before the conflict intervened with life he'd only just graduated from high school and had started university he wants finance to be his line of work but right now he's on the frontline of war this sentiment is not exclusive to this side of the front line as are you mothers equally as proud of their boys advancing on the enemy i think both my sons completed their military service with distinction when the conflict started my oldest son was already in the front line and proud of both of them both of them volunteered my oldest is there now and the 2nd one is waiting he's ready to go there any moment he's in an excellent mood he's ready to carry out any order any word of our president. my son just came back from the army when the conflict began after september is events when our enemies once again attacked our country he was conscripted again to exercise 1st and then to the frontline my son is there now defending his country who speak by phone when there is

a possibility to do it he always says to me that. everything is fine for washed among a week before the war began my son volunteered it was when the very 1st conflicts emerged he was immediately sent to the front line you always wanted our lands to come back to us that is why he volunteered i mean mothers are mothers too i don't want their children to die nobody understands a mother better than another mother they should call their children back now made them targets on foreign land and we don't have reporting from the border with nagorno-karabakh. french president among your macro on has a new plan to teach arabic in the country schools he says it's a way of combating extremism rather than teaching the language in religious associations or in mosques but the idea has come under a hail of criticism from both the right and the left a shot at the bin scape now reports. under plans announced by president mccord

france is fighting back against separatism and a deviation away from the secular nature of the republic but the law which is yet to be fully drafted and released has been seen as an attack against islam not on speech did they kill to alleviate those concerns. the problem is islam ist separatism this conscious theorized political religious project which materializes in repeated deviations from the values of the republic which often results in the constitution of a counter society and whose manifestations of the dropout of children the development of community based sports and cultural practices which are the pretext for teaching principles which do not comply with the laws of the republic french authorities fear that children and students learning arabic in mosques all being taught by religious associations could fall prey to indoctrination by isn't mists

and in a bid to have more control the government plans to expand its availability in schools but not everyone is convinced that it's a good idea according to a new poll some 69 percent of respondents were not in favor so what do people here in paris make of the idea yes for me it is a good idea today people from around the world have a right to speak their language and to teach arabic in our schools is a good idea because we have a lot of young people from north west africa and europe. personally and completely against this idea because here in france there are too many generals ations we point the same march of muslims when there are more serious matters but who i don't really have an opinion on that but it has to be controlled might be a good idea or if there are other languages it might be a good idea to learn. arabic hebrew italian spanish english all these languages i

think that's a really good idea i think people do with these want to do if they're interested it's critics have also rounded on it the note saying it is being counter productive it's ridiculous it's the best way to boost the proliferation of quranic schools or denominational schools if we want to islam ice france this is the best way to get there the language of the republic is french institutionalizing learning of the arabic language in schools is cowardice and a mistake but even if arabic classes or more widely there is no indication there would be a prolific appetite for them it's currently the 8th most popular foreign language chosen by 11 to 15 year olds and figures show that only about 0.2 percent actually study it what's not clear yet and this is perhaps where the concern comes from is

whether or not under the new plans arabic will become part of mandatory lessons here in florence if that was the case it is likely to feel the fire of those who believe teaching arabic in schools only fosters communitarianism and blues the feeling of patriotism the exact opposite of what mr. there's nothing wrong with teaching kids school purpose i think there's a political message and i think that's where all the french are. going to if we don't want to push and shrink integration if we want to help communities that are trying to live together. and which is one of the best instruments which can be used to get people around to get along. of course we teach the other languages even the president is in favor of teaching the arabic language so i think we shouldn't mix the subjects and say and i've also heard people saying online that teaching arabic. it is an act of separatism you know that arabic has existed here

for a long time and it never brought me that radicalism or terrorism there is a specific branch of muslims who naturally make the headlines but this is a branch that's not all muslims don't generalise. now there were violent scenes in berlin this morning the police faced off with left wing demonstrators is authorities moved into evict an iconic squatters protest. the following those clashes berlin police did manage to evict the activists officers forced their way into the building through windows clearing all 57 occupants earlier a course in berlin had ruled that the activists should return the property to its

owner a lease on the house expired 2 years ago but the community still refused to leave. they still comfy the sat election day is creeping ever closer in the u.s. but the next debate is up in the air after donald trump says he won't do it remotely guess or said give us their thoughts on the potential for election violence we'll have the details after birth. american citizen but he didn't want to talk. about an attack on the other. guy and. i would vote for the republican i would

vote for anyone who is not you and has half a brain. to feel like. my 2nd wife. she can handle it. all she and i divorce because our trouble is what the president and i floated for her and she touched. the ball is too important election. in our history list of the months to go before the next presidential election how is the atmosphere in the us now. i want to the highest priority programs. they do next i just some of the questions we put in there. i. know again you're watching r

t international now the next u.s. presidential debate is looking increasingly unlikely don't trump has said it would be a waste of his time after it was announced it will be held virtually after the president called corona voters. you're saying you're not going to participate you know i'm not going to waste my time on a virtual debate that's not what debating is all about you sit behind a computer and do a debate it's ridiculous and then they cut you off whenever they want well trump suggested delaying the debate until the end of the month but biden refused to budge however the democrats are even suggesting trying to him. moved the president from office citing concerns over his health house speaker nancy pelosi has hinted about invoking the 25th amendment to trump meanwhile a new poll shows that growing there are growing fears over where this election will actually lead because more than half of the respondents do believe the violence will increase over november's result and people do anticipate riots and looting at

the same time just under 2 thirds of worried that the country could be verging on civil war so is this going justified or calm bright spoke to a panel of experts. it seems that post-election doomed being predicted whoever comes out on top next month they correct as i was going to happen i don't know if i would or i should certainly course need some additional civil rights with a large civil war over the past few months violent street i don't know but the level of civil war however you do have the state being very very high or certainly politicians drumming up steel or any hate of each other causes people to get scared and in sometimes it incites people to violence but when you look at the actual policies of the republicans and democrats once they're elected and serve in office the actual policies are almost the same the systematic violence that is our daily

diet across this country already regardless really of whom who wins will certainly try to victory puts fascism away supremacy in the driver's seat in 4 years the calls for action from disgruntled groups louder than calls for calm that it's a joke at all that's already been rolling through 2020 but we know it's a strange year you know we've had the country shut down for the past 6 months we people who are marginalized economically don't have the opportunity to work from home they have found themselves bearing the brunt of the law. and that of course people poured aeration of 4th. riots well america isn't as divided stratified and polarized as ever right wing violent elements are certainly ready at the beck and call of triumph of science action in large segments of the population very worried about every time a president's up for election the people in the media say this is the most

important election of our lifetimes and if you don't vote for this bad republican or this bad democrat the world's going to come to the end we're going to have violence in the streets so i think it's over and in reality most americans don't want violence with this of happened and why would america be in this state now was it 4 years of trump or would it have happened anyway well certainly on a trump is down to lead this pandemic in trump is not taking this seriously he's prioritized other thing i mean how is he showing up at the white house is if today was a normal day imagine of one of us showed up at studio our at our jobs when he was still contagious we called it trying to downplay it that signals the wrong things to the rest of the country i think coronavirus is natural and republicans or democrats whoever was in charge neither could have done much different and we'd probably see the same i think it's unfair to blame either party for it however when you look at this disease cope with the infection faith palla the rate about on par

with hulu has a 99.9 percent survival rate except for some very specific categories of people so there has been a politicization of a medical problem in the united states and it's ironic that the democrats blame trump for not taking it seriously enough but at the same time they blame problem for messing up the economy what he tried to shut things down so you really you can't win when you politicize the medical situation like this. but it's not just politics where the pandemic is proving to be a divisive issue in the us religious communities in new york canal up in arms over new not die measures in the city which they decline unfairly target them kind of mopping explains. with covert numbers rising in new york city once again andrew cuomo the governor is bringing the hammer down religious places of worship and schools are now closing now that sounds like common sense but religious communities are giving him quite a bit of backlash here is why i mean yes the iraq. was

her orthodox jews say they're being singled out they have taken to the streets to protest and they say they are planning a legal action against governor cuomo i hope we can avoid it but as i said before if that we don't make any progress and we're left with what we are now we would. probably ask courts to issue a temporary restraining order until we can figure this all the while the orthodox jews say they've been singled out the roman catholic community is also quite upset the high ranking this ship from the roman catholic church is speaking out catholic churches in brooklyn queens have not had any covert outbreak so significant cases since reopening on july the 5th to 25 percent capacity we fervently objects to being told to for that reduced capacity because we have strict did to cope with 19 protocols and the safety measures have been working now the parents of children who

attend roman catholic schools are also objecting they say that cuomo should punish the guilty close down the schools where covert is spreading but not blanket shutdown all educational institutions governor cuomo appears to be losing patience with those who complain about his wrist strict sions we have to close the temple because it's over 50 percent. i'll do it. we have to close a roman catholic church. i'll do it i had to close the supernatural stay parade i did it. i'll do it now the government is not supposed to interfere with people freely practicing their religion except in very dire circumstances now governor cuomo and many others would argue that a global pandemic is exactly that however many catholics and jewish people disagree who will win now we shall see. new york. now just days

after proclaiming himself cured of the corona virus donald trump is reportedly pushing for the antibody therapy he received to be cleared from ash use the president has said he wants an emergency use authorization signed by the food and drug administration as soon as possible but it does not but it comes not long after the he accused the same agency of launching a political hit job against him after it introduced tougher vaccine guidelines that could potentially delay the approval of any jap. new f.d.a. rules make it more difficult for them to speed up vaccines for approval before election day just another political hit job the new vaccine guidelines to say manufacturers have to wait 2 months before approval can be considered trials can flag any safety issues that means the earliest any drug could win approval would be after november's election the f.d.a. has said its decision is not political. i've made it clear from the beginning of my

junior year that the only thing that will guide our decisions is data in science all outside an increase from administration officials members of congress state and local officials are routed. where the washington pain centers chief executive john dombrowski does believe that trump risks his political future if he plays loose with facts in safety. it's it was about the election clearly you know kurt parody of the democratic party has put in donald trump's lap the failure of managing to curb equations here united states so he has a lot of pressure to make sure he does something with respect to vaccines as he did with personal protective equipment ventilators respirators he did everything right from that perspective and i was glad there's a vaccine that he wants to turn out obviously before the election to hopefully you know regain another 4 years of the white house if he put something out there that was not safe and not effective that would be devastating to his legacy so he has to

make sure that everything is above the road safe and effective for the american people to believe in it and obviously to believe it and then take the vaccine for their safety. now state of emergency has been declared in sudan after some of the worst flooding that needs for many it does mean life is proving even more of a challenge what was already one of the world's poorest nations. rather i ve gotten out of the water has destroyed all of our house furniture and belongings they were a little lost in the flood we were being evacuated from our homes to safe places several houses were in time it's truly we managed to save some furniture because

the rest was taken with the water. some people are living now under a tree we don't have anything left and children live on the trees there's no place to show dressed and the village is still submerged in water we're building a house out of wood and plastic she's just show to ourselves and our families until things get better. that friendships like turf and i here are not just coming up to hamas live meeting in moscow don't forget that you can always keep yourself across the news team on all social media pages and you.

know that the get a list of all the. people i want to look at what why why do you know. how to keep. hopeful but they're all wrong. that the us. something. about that it is a simple alibi. with a lot of that. how . does the threshold at which. big tobacco realized what they were doing

and that they continued to do it they continued to put more and more things into cigarettes that made them more addictive and made me want to smoke more of them in the point i'm trying to make social media and in particular these artificially intelligent algorithms are doing the same thing. a dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells abilities on the streets many of them underage. los angeles police reveal a taste of their daily challenge if you're going to exploit for a child here in los angeles oh they were going to come out as the officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight the 6 trade.

nuclear power plants have become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people have demanding the shut down of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no clare power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limit this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where is it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is your power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways our struggle on r.t. .

hello and welcome to crossfire your all things are considered computer with election day email it's important to ask how donald trump has changed the g.o.p. if at all is there such a thing as trump is do the political establishment elites understand why he was the elected in the 1st. populism on the right. to discuss this and more i'm joined by my guest ted harvey in denver he's chairman of the committee to defend the president and a founding member of the former stop hillary and somewhere we're joined by chris fance he is former chairman of the washington state republican party after his departure.
