killed in line with red cross principles the specifics of the ceasefire will be agreed later. it took 10 hours for the 2 sides to come to terms with the discussions wrapping up in the early hours of saturday the talks were held in a fully closed format. nor azerbaijan gave a statement to the major afterwards russian president vladimir putin and earlier called for an end to the hostilities which of caused huge damage and civilian casualties he goes down or food in an armenian border town brings us more this morning. it's the 1st lull in the fighting since the beginning of this latest escalation and to say that everyone here is hopeful and relieved that it would last would be an understatement every single refugee who we had a chance to talk to this morning every single citizen of this small border town in armenia everyone have been saying that well hopefully this will be over that the fighting is over for good. that there's this whole but these talks they haven't
3:03 am
been easy in fact they as you said they've lost it for more than 10 hours and the foreign minister of there by john at least once left the site of the talks to go to the embassy apparently for consultations with the higher ups probably with the president himself just this is this is the level of decisions the decision making that was going on in moscow this night so really really tough negotiations the 2 sides will have to find a lot more common ground than they have right now because they both are adamant this issue is very very sensitive for both for instance this is this is how the armenian prime minister nicol passion and talks about the prospects of the truce before it was announced. we are committed to settlement of the curb of conflict and are ready to resume the peace process in accordance with the recent statements of the presidents and foreign ministers of the co-chairs of the always
3:04 am
see group we will ready had some reaction from the armenian authorities after the after the negotiations after the decision to implement to impose a truce in the cab back essentially they've expressed hope that it would last and also they thanked the they thanked they thanked russia they thanked moscow for making this possible in fact they thanked lattimer putin personally saying that he himself that he that he made a great effort to make this cease fire happen and now when it comes to the azerbaijani side they also they're very adamant they want in a good. they say that they want their lands back but they are also saying that they are ready to do it peacefully here is how the president of us air by john i leave describe the situation again prior to the talks about the kind of bar is azerbaijan everyone should know this including those in charge of armenia today and i tell them again that if they commit fraud again after the moscow talks they will regret
3:05 am
it we will take back our lands peacefully or through war unequivocally we want to organize it peacefully let's do it peacefully we are giving armenia one last chance one last chance so it seems us here by john is also committing to a peaceful resolution at least judging that they agreed to put their sign on the document that circulate russian the russian foreign minister announced it tonight now we will be traveling to nagorno-karabakh shortly to bring you all the latest from the scene and to terror expert and legal had to master believes russia's role has been crucial to resolving this conflict. russia's role in this particular conflict is incredibly important and notably because russia has a good relationship with both countries yes russia has a military alliance with armenia but russia has entered into agreements and engagements of both advise on in our media so lives are by john sears a closer relationship with turkey russia has been able to broker deals between both
3:06 am
countries in and of course russia is. definitely the most powerful country most influential country in the region and so that's why it's important that russia is involved in this that moscow is leading these peace talks and especially the involvement of the minsk group france united states and russia agreed to be involved in these talks in moscow i think it's good it puts that pressure on it puts a person at least both sides since the decades old conflict escalated nearly 2 weeks ago the fighting it only been intensifying of late as we've been reporting to you there are conflicting sets of news going around on both sides about casualties and videos have been released on a daily basis showing the destruction inside the disputed region and its surrounding areas meantime 1st reactions coming in this is new austria same the smalling they welcome the cease fire and expressing hope for further peace measures with more on the agreement of a senior correspondent reporting from istanbul. there were calls to both sides
3:07 am
obviously and as yet about jobs from for all manner of leaders from all confidence begging them almost to see this to stop the pullback from the brink before things got even more out of habit of frogs for example calling both sides taking an active role in all of this also accusing supports of is a rise in by john and egging them on quote is an unacceptable and belligerent matter turkey was one of the few sides that actually took took a side one of the few countries that took a side in this conflict saying that it was going to support as their budget out to the end. soon which was nicholas and the men's group until now has not shown any real to resolve this problem the solution to the issue which is turned into going green so to speak because of armenia's uncompromising and spoiled attitude for nearly 30 years he's for the occupation to. the international community disagreed
3:08 am
with turkey and said about john regarding a military solution to this conflict what we saw during this latest escalation was truly truly tremendous a huge number of civilians killed even more injured enormous losses and manpower and equipment cluster bombs raining on the city of step on again on civilian areas this is confirmed by amnesty international and the message from the international community was the this conflict now is in the intensity that it came about was simply an acceptable.
3:09 am
but there was also grassroots protests. in various countries from hollywood and los angeles all the way to pass through armenian protesters coming out decrying what they saw as inaction by europe by the united states then we also saw protests by pro is it about john. crowds and a rally is demonstrations in germany for example nevertheless there is optimism now that these says been stopped that it has been brought to an end before this conflict could escalate even further. that is this morning now the 2nd u.s.
3:10 am
presidential debate that was for this thursday is officially canceled after the 2 candidates teams couldn't agree on the new format the democratic side and the debate commission suggested the much should should be conducted online only but trump who says he's no cuter covert 19 refused that and tried instead to reshape jewel whole event trumps health more generally is the latest sticking point for democrats in congress who think it could be grounds to remove him as president kalam open reports. nancy pelosi is known to be one of donald trump's biggest and most loyal fans she's on record telling us just how much she loves him and god bless. illinois well she's so concerned now about donald trump's health that she's introducing legislation if a president suffers a crippling there's a cold or mental problem and his on end of the man match on able to discharge the
3:11 am
powers and duties of his office and transfers his powers the 25th amendment of the u.s. constitution and abel's the president to be kicked out of office if he's rendered to be mentally or physically incapable in order for that to happen the vice president and most of the cabinet needs to meet and declare the president to be unfit to lead the democrats are now looking to set up a mechanism where as congress would have a more of a say when it comes to the president's health nancy pelosi maintains this is not about truth this is not about president trump he will face the judgment of the voters but he shows the need for us to create a process for future presidents the president's allies say that this is yet another attempt by the democrats to push trump out of office. i wouldn't put it past speaker pelosi to stage a coup says already weaponized impeachment what's to keep it from weaponize ing the
3:12 am
25th amendment who can forget last year's failed impeachment proceedings i'm announcing the house of representatives moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry and directing our 6 committees to proceed with their investigations under that umbrella of the impeachment inquiry the president must be held accountable no one is above the law now nancy pelosi failed to remove donald trump in 2918 but apparently she has another plan up her sleeve she was sitting on it until just the right moment some of mention the possibility if they try to push through a nominee in a lame duck session that the jew in the the house could move to impeach we're not ruling anything out of protecting our democracy requires us to use every arrow in our quest for nancy pelosi makes no bones about the fact that she's been trying to remove donald trump from office all along she's been looking for any potential opening all i hear from the press is that i'm moving so swiftly the shock
3:13 am
a blur going by this is then a couple of years 2 and a half cynthia and michelle investigation a matter of what he says or whatever headline he wants to carry around here impeached ever so with the election in less than a month we've got democrats possibly using constitutional maneuvers to try and remove trump from office just in case he wins at the polls that does not sound like a position of confidence but then again with so much fear about contested results this november nothing in american politics seems normal these days what she proposes is a new legislation to set up a permanent 17 urson commission to try to evaluate whether or not residents mentally ill this is something that they are made of this representative before the election but it certainly is not going to pass in the senate and. ways president truck and so this was tried everything else to try to remove this seems to
3:14 am
something that you put it's a news site. this to me is that ormus waste of resources and energy so this is being carried out at the time where speaker refused to engage in real negotiations about stimulus which is critically important to all americans. so another day in the corona virus pandemic just won't let up will it still time to go yet we had a long time of thing but this covert case insurge again a number of countries are bringing in new restrictions again the u.k. france sweden italy the u.s. all among those who've already introduced tougher measures and israel that was going back to a nationwide locked while in some european countries new measures are being imposed in bars gyms and restaurants restrictions on large meetings outdoors or again in place or completely banned companies are being told to send many of their employees to work from home as well and there's been a lot of anger with the covert 1000 measures around the globe as this goes on with
3:15 am
many lashing out in violent protests as we've seen mass wearing spin they're particularly touchy point it's difficult to do it when some people refuse others are driven to blows a warning some violent images coming up. in the kitchen sink if you think. that this. can be. difficult but the medics say you've got to do it the world health organization is expressing alarm with the service a 93 percent of countries worldwide have disrupted a whole to mental health services because of what's going on with covert on the side it's the 1st data showing the dreadful impact took over $1000.00 globally on mental health care the report stresses the urgency of increased funding for it we discussed it with a regional director of the w.h.o.
3:16 am
robot. people as they grow. as they become fatigued or tired or weary they also under the measures that have been implemented by many member states by many countries have become isolated so they become alienates and they feel lonely in many situations so in that situation they're more likely to feel a very high cost of the measures that they're being asked to perform so i'm not saying that family members for example are not going to social gatherings do not have that usual behavior becomes a very high cost for them and so then less likely to actually go and where i'm asked to practice safe. physical distance and we're very concerned about that see here the w.h.r. european region because we feel it could be contribution of course soon a resurgence into arrives and transmission of 19.
3:17 am
quality of the week has come to 17 past the hour if you do have to watch the clock today coming up as if the psychological strain of a pandemic is not enough the world buying those says over 100000000 on the brink of extreme poverty because of the economic downturn of rich get some must still rake in the cash oh what a world it's coming up that story a much more to. show seem wrong. when all the rules just don't hold. any world that is yet to shape out these days become educated and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground.
3:18 am
the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the dares thinks. we dare to ask. again almost a quarter of americans say they have less than 3 weeks money reserves left meaning
3:19 am
money could run out before november's presidential election a seventies found and president trumps announced on choose to they'll be no coronavirus stimulus talks with democrats until after the vote there is not only in the u.s. where the pandemics widen the gap between the rich and poor is total quarter reports. over a 1000000 people across the globe have died from coronavirus related causes says billions more continue to struggle with the pandemics economic consequences things are looking up for the world's billionaire minority for the 1st time ever their collective wealth has surpassed 10 trillion dollars billionaire wealth equates to a fortune and almost impossible to spend of a multiple life terms of absolute luxury anyone accumulating riches on this scale could easily afford to raise the pay of the employees who generate their wealth will contribute a great deal more in taxes to support financial public services and all the while jobs are disappearing at an alarming rate the super rich good have been richer while maybe the people around the world lost their jobs does not
3:20 am
a coincidence this is how the system works might be time for governments to step in right well they already have in fact they're helping the ultra rich get even richer thanks to a loophole in the us as coronavirus relief package the wealthy ended up getting around $1700000.00 worth of handouts and another $133.00 large companies received $5000000000.00 more from the treasury as for the u.k. over $12000000000.00 of government stimulus has gone straight into the pockets of corporations for the rest of humanity it's unfortunate because extreme poverty is only getting closer to home between 88000000 and 150000000 people could fall back into extreme poverty as a result of the pandemic with an additional increase of between 23000000 and 35000000 in 2021 potentially bringing the total number of new people living in extreme poverty to between $110000000.15 the world bank defines extreme poverty
3:21 am
is living on less than $1.90 a day so as the ruling class continues to collect the billions of dollars in government charity you have to wonder how exactly society is benefiting as a whole from this degree of inequality it is a manifestation of capitalism. capitalism handles of pandemic you can see a disproportionate impact low income workers have been laid off fired run into unemployment much more than middle and upper income workers capitalist employers are keeping their jobs during the economic downturn but laying off millions of american workers so you automatically if you react to a pandemic that way you worsen the inequality it's the capitalist system and its operation there is in fact the cause of this growing obdurately for which there is no excuse possible. and in the u.k.
3:22 am
people they're getting to solution to the rest of the world trust in the governments for their to its lowest in decades according to a major poll the findings in british social attitudes are only 15 percent of the 3000 people surveyed said they had faith in westminster the results represent the mood in 2019 but according to people on the streets of london certainly not much has changed since then where trust in the government seems to be going down rapidly . i would say for the past 10 years maybe if you got it they were going to go shy. but i've lost a lot of respect too many pork pies it seems to me like someone stood in the cabin of the dart board with adi's on it and it just kind of throwing them at any slight last minute so it's gone nobody gets onto her everything just seems they're doing things have her fairly not so very focused changing their mind quite often. political commentator eldar was told as how the coronavirus pandemics only worsen the negative feeling. people like
3:23 am
a more decisive government and this government was elected but it appears to be more decisive over issues like briggs it becomes a grown up virus come the court with mind and they don't seem to be giving a massive and that this imply their corner of me is in bad shape but we can see the government now especially today is taking some steps right to amend that i suspect that up with. actually except lloyd that there's a problem that next week in the house of commons a promise of course and is on wednesdays so these questions were about how he actually could handle dealing with the epidemic of the 19 but i think it might actually be exploited live out my exploit that. the u.s. slapped more sanctions on iran further isolating that country from the world
3:24 am
financial systems than washington claims the move is to stop iran sponsoring terror activities and developing nuclear weapons to iran denies those allegations and says the restrictions will only in fact hurt the iranian people themselves. that made covert $900.00 pandemic us regime was to blow up our remaining channels to pay for food and medicine iranians will survive this latest of cruelty but conspiring to starve a population is a crime against humanity culprits and enablers who block our money will face justice and iran knows that i live been put on notice of you around with us if you do something bad we're going to do things to you that have never been done before. every presidential language there but from donald trump the new sanctions freeze the u.s. assets of 18 a rainy and banks which hits almost all of the country's financial institutions and also places secondly sanctions too on firms that do business with those banks a lot of the washington players the restrictions don't apply when it comes to basic
3:25 am
necessities the word. years that critics say foreign banks will be scared off from getting involved in humanitarian aid and all european countries have reacted against previous u.s. sanctions let's recall in september the foreign ministers of france the u.k. and germany known as the e 3 agreed to resist u.s. sanctions to restore all u.s. sanctions on iran washington tried that snapback of sanctions on iran unilaterally but since the trumpet ministration walked out of the nuclear deal it can't actually do it world affairs journalist thomas fassbender believes the sanctions are not just about targeting around there but sending a wider message out to the rest of the world. even if there is some mechanism in place that would still allow medical humanitarian aid get into iran. any for and company any for him bank that is dealing with iran that is involved in such supplies they will have to or 'd july they will have to wait for a full licenses for cruel that's. from
3:26 am
a practical point of view that can be no question that this will impede aid and support getting into the country it is a political move by the us the us are gambling on using their economic my their power over the global financial infrastructure to or pacify any potential opponents roma russia china iran. even germany as are u.s. sanctions now and we'll see what this will lead to. that's it from us for now the big story of the day of course the cease fire imminent now and are going to occur about just about half an hour away from it will be on top of that in half an hour when i'm back here r.t. international another for me in the rest of the tape have a great weekend. this

max kaiser this is the kaiser rini port of all about being counters that suit matters in this economy now stacey yeah because when you look at different economies it's who who is counted and who doesn't count because if workers for example or the bottom 99 percent don't count then they don't get counted and so we're going to look at 2 different headlines and so what it means the difference between those who are counted and those who are not counted in the europe let's look there 1st because this is a topic that is dear to my heart and that is toilet paper who pays for the toilet paper at the big questions of the work from home era as the world compulsives in crisis and tens of millions of us dig in for the long haul of working from her.
