by their friday evening here in moscow welcome to world news from international stories that we're tracking for you this hour 1st through hopes that a breakthrough could be reached today in the bitter conflict that's erupted between armenia and azerbaijan the foreign ministers of both countries are holding talks right now in moscow about the venue awaiting news of any developments. well certainly great expectations of the eyes of the world are right now on the russian capital where the talks between the foreign ministers of armenia and azerbaijan mediated by their russian counterpart sergei lavrov have already begun there on the way at the moment journalists were allowed in for about 30 seconds for they had to witness their initial encounter then everybody was asked to step outside as it's also continued behind closed doors once again there are ongoing right now as we

speak meanwhile earlier vladimir putin called for and to hostilities in the gordon a and to allow for the exchange of bodies and prisoners and for all the humanitarian reasons that some of the richest presidents in school to be into this still exists in the government coral conflict zone for humanitarian reasons he's also suggested the 2 sides look at an exchange of prisoners and the remains of those killed now once again all eyes are on moscow right now as the russian foreign minister is mediating talks with his nearby johnny and armenian counterparts now the call they keep it up just recently with both sides accusing each other escalations and both sides of being really serious about standing on their ground sold these selves to go and speak very important. to not only stop the hostilities in the region but also perhaps find some common ground between the 2 sides that's

all this once again are ongoing and we will be here to cover everything that's going on and of course we'll give you the all comments that i have. since the decade's old conflict goes back to life nearly 2 weeks ago now the fighting has only been intensifying there are conflicting reports on both sides about casualties in videos surveilling some of the almost daily basis showing the destruction inside the disputed region and in the surrounding areas. one case in point and historic a feature of the house of the. karabakh went badly injured after being shelled 3 russian journalists nearby were also injured one of them seriously. here's the aftermath of the shelling which hit the church twice in the same day the armenian foreign ministry blames ery forces claiming that they pose a threat to the civilized world. meanwhile as very authorities say that 7 people have been injured in recent shelling by all meaning and forces orchids at a restaurant in the city of baba and left a school severely damaged in

a separate shelling in the border region as well john also reported the local police station was destroyed along with some civilian buildings. and internationally has versions being backed by turkey which is supported backers attempts to regain the goal no karabakh however mania along with russia is a member of the collective security treaty organization which is based on a nato style platform of the head of the c. s. c.e.o. says a present the alliance needs to do nothing but cold for peace but in an interview he was asked if that would change if a near itself was attacked by azerbaijan. well i'm sure that as the regime will not hit the actual territory of armenia i'm sure such development will not happen that's because initially said that it has no territorial claims to armenia it does not challenge armenia sovereignty and territorial integrity i think that it is neither in the interest of armenia nor as a regime for the conflict to grow into a regional war but if it happens then any member of the c.s.t.

has the right to count on help without this there is no organization but most of the fiercest clashes recently have been reported in the south of the disputed region it goes on of is near the border and talk to some of the armenia mothers who have seen their sons head off to conflict they spoke of both pride and i'm concerned sentiments echoed on both sides. 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 our ancestors she offers us coffee enthusiastically the good to talk about her son fighting in the going to come back while he was conscripted when he came of age with the usual service he was on the 7th of january he had been serving for 10 months or so he was in hundreds from the very beginning it's from base to chechnya embattled so i didn't know that he was sent to the front like 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 adroit for a meaningful says 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 cause 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 favorite scene a lot but we do communicate a lot with other mothers whose kids are on the front asking each other about them because we all have kids serving there 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. yes apart than one i'm proud of having such a child no mother knowing there is currently a war in the garden karma 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. of them. i'm proud to the to have a son who is

a soldier now serving in one of the military units in the car a buck i know they are stronger i know how he's doing he's in a fight in spirit and he inspires me to be strong here at home and ask me kobes 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 are 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 on 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 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. amongst 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 is one of our lands to come back to us that is why he volunteered to remain mothers are mothers to 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. or other headline news what was meant to combat

extremism instead has been nothing but an extreme reaction to the french president's new plan for arabic to be taught in schools both left and right of united in their opposition to the idea that our reports. on the plans announced by president mike corn 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 that point speech did this little 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 ok. 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 arabic rascal is a good idea because we have a lot of young people from north west africa and europe and. personally i'm completely against this idea because here in france there are too many generals ations we point the thing that says 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 is there are other languages it might be a good idea to learn arabic hebrew. spanish english all of these languages i think that's a really good idea i think people do what they want to do if they're interested it's critics have also rounded on it 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 losses are more widely on offer 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 france if that was the case it is likely to feel the fire of those who believe team. arabic in schools only folks this could mean a tear in islam and blues the feeling of patriotism the exact opposite of what mr mackworth malts there's nothing wrong with teaching in schools what's the purpose i think as a political message and i think that's where all the french are against this there's a very big problem today i mean if we don't want to beat around the bush and soon get integration if we want to help communities that are trying to go live together around common values and the language is one of the best instruments which can be used to get people around to hear understand goes

a little bit 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 as i've also heard people saying online that teaching arabic 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 because there is this specific branch of muslims who naturally make the headlines but this is only a branch that's not all muslims don't generalise. just days after proclaiming himself cured of the corona virus donald trump is reportedly pushing for the antibody therapy he received to be cleared for mass use the president says he wants an emergency use authorization signed off by the food and drug administration as soon as possible but it comes not long after he accused that same agency of launching a political hit job against and offered 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 say manufacturers have to wait 2 months before approval can be considered so the trials can flag up any safety issues that means the earliest any drug could win approval will be on november's election the f.d.a. insists 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 out citing increase from administration officials members of congress local officials are routed me and the chief executive of the washington pain center believes trumps risking his political future if he plays loose with vaccine safety so it was about the election clearly the parody of the democratic party has put in donald trump's way up the failure of managing to cope with quote the syrian ited 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 well from that perspective and i would get this 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 safe and effective for the american people to believe in it and obviously to believe it and then take the vaccine for safety. last for the election the next presidential debate is looking increasingly unlikely donald trump said it would be a waste of his time after it was announced that it will be held virtually after the president called the coronavirus. you're saying you're not going to participate and no i'm not going to waste my time in a virtual debate that's not what debating is all about you sit behind a computer and do a debate is ridiculous and then they cut you off whenever they want. well trump

suggested delaying the debate until the end of the month but his rival joe biden is refusing to budge following from sell this house speaker nancy pelosi has announced a plan for congress to set up a commission to assess whether a president is fit enough for office however she claims it's for future occurrences as for where american voters think they're heading the polls are proving to be grim reading one survey suggests more than half of respondents expect violence to increase after november's election and to supporting riots and looting just under 2 thirds of where it's that the us could be on the verge of civil war so is the globe justified in iraq question a panel of experts over whether they think chaos is inevitable no matter who wins. i don't know if i would force the a civil war i could certainly course need some additional civil war referencing a lot of the civil unrest over the past few months by the way i don't know if it was going to level of a civil war however you do have the stake being very very high or certainly politicians drumming up fear and 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 balances are our daily diet across this country already regardless really of who who wins will certainly try to victory puts fascism away supremacy in the driver's seat again it will for years the coals for action from disgruntled groups a louder than calls for calm and it's a joke you know 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've had people who are marginalized economically who are going to have the opportunity to work from home they have found themselves bearing the brunt of the law down home with me to the country and that of course people poured aeration of forth riots well america is indeed as divided stratified and polarized 'd as ever right wing

violent elements are certainly ready at the beck and call of trunks of science action in large segments of the population a 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 'd going to come to the end we're going to have violence in the streets so i think it's overblown and in reality most americans don't want violence with this have happened and i would have been the state now is it 4 years of trouble would it have happened anyway well certainly on a true. it is down this pen deli in trump is not taking this seriously he's prioritized other things i mean how is he showing up at the white house is if today was a normal day imagine if 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 fake palate 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 it's ironic that the democrats when trump are not taking it seriously enough but at the same time they blame problem for messing up the economy when he tried to shut things down so you really you can't win when you politicize medical situation like that. you sanctions have been slapped on iran by the us to further isolating the country from the world's financial systems washington claims that the move is to stop iran sponsoring terror activities and developing nuclear weapons to iran denies those allegations and says

the restrictions will have the iranian people the hardest. i made covert 19 pern to make us regime was to blow up our remaining channels to pay for food and medicine iranians will survive this latest of cruelties but conspiring to starve a population is a crime against humanity culprits and enablers who block our money will face justice the new sanctions freeze the u.s. assets of $18.00 iranian banks which is almost all of the country's financial institutions and also places secondary sanctions on firms to do business with those banks and although washington claims the restrictions don't apply when it comes to basic necessities critics say that foreign banks are going to be scared off from getting involved in humanitarian aid attorney at law believes the next month's election in the u.s. . those new sanctions are just a way for the president trying to show himself as a strong tore his electorate because the elections are approaching in almost 3

weeks and he wants to show that he is still a tough guy and he still can bring almost choked the iranian population and with these new sanctions the iranian population are suffering a lot because the government doesn't the government of iran doesn't suffer a lot it's only the population of iran which have not made this in no job and the prices are skyrocketing and the banks the foreign banks don't make any business with iran because they if scared off the american judiciary system because they. can impose fines on them. the state of emergency has been declared in the capital of coca stand in central asia after days of post-election turmoil where the president ordered troops to the streets 2 people are reported to have suffered gunshot wounds on friday the contested election results were in old at the weekend and despite several government resignations there is still public anger local journalist seymour osman of this report for us from bishkek. it's getting dark in

our 2 square in kurdistan but the number of people on it does not decrease president declared a state of emergency it starts when 2 o'clock local time troops are to be brought into the city and the power is transferred to deputy minister of internal affairs sort of the leave it was they were busy day in a country in the morning the temporarily self-proclaimed leader of the internal affairs bodies and the country's security committee who left their posts however the law enforcement agencies are clear that they control the situation in the country at the moment crowds of people and be observed only on the square the city is controlled by people's guards which are created from among the active citizens. groups. next few hours but if people who are on the square do not intend to disperse you have to work on a special for us of the day from the ski city coast of. the state of emergency has

also been declared in sudan in central africa or after some of the worst flooding there in years for many it means lives proving even more of a challenge in what was already one of the world poorest nations. the water has destroyed all of our house furniture and belongings they were lost in the flood being evacuated from our homes to safer places several houses were in time it's truly managed to save some furniture for the rest of us taking with. some people are living now under a tree we don't have anything left the children live under trees there's no place

to shelter us and the village is still submerged in water we're building a house out of wood and plastic she's just a shell to ourselves and our families until things get better. that's how it looks from moscow so far this friday on the way the community battling to close a creaking old nuclear reactor in their neighborhood power struggle as next door to international. there's a threshold at which. big tobacco realised what they were doing and that they continue to do it big continued to put more and more things into cigarettes that

made them more addictive and made me want to smoke more of them and the point i'm trying to make is that social media and in particular these artificially intelligent algorithms are doing the same thing. please classed as an american citizen and he didn't want to talk that's why. we're in a tough time we have a nasty guy and i think. i would vote for a republican over trump i would vote for anyone who is not you and has half a brain defeat don't try. to feel that. my 2nd wife. she can handle. she and i divorce because

our trouble is elected president and i floated for him and she could stand for. that when the most important election. in our history list of the months to go before the next presidential election how is the atmosphere in the us now. watch of the highest priority programs now live and should they do next. just some of the questions we put to the america. bill and those silly law about the bill and this i'll just. keep on one second i wonder why it's why he's not. out of the. clear we

hope to be but there are some friends that the us are still so at the still feel cool thing to do something to see. which. the value of the muslim brotherhood as a. goal and i was a boy with a love that you know the ordinary. truths seem wrong. but old rules just don't hold. me. to shape our disdain comes to educate and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she still looks for common ground.

as the u.s. economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get als and everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of it is we're not financial inequality and the lack of affordable housing for a living minimum wage gave many people no choice. that's been a problem with the city knows turn out in the cold to stay without a home is called concerted effort is no answer because yes the records resource the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become invisible to us.

i understand that a firm on doesn't help to lead the world in getting off projects and deploying and moving toward global energy as fast as possible the planet will be unlivable for organisms like us i used to say let's shut down vermont yankee in 2012 meet the promise that we may ensure that energy louisiana cleans up the mast and let's have a governor who's going to move us to removal energy and move to a sane energy future let's vote for change on november 2nd thank you so much. i petersham. do solemnly swear that i will be true and faithful to.
