it's worth it if there is more it's because you know it's the records. used in abandoned on the streets to make the invisible clouds. a ceasefire and disputed nagorno-karabakh region comes into force our media and out the by john struck a deal after more than 10 hours of talks mediated by russia's foreign minister. a cease fire is announced from 12 pm 110th of october for humanitarian purposes. the 2nd u.s. presidential debate is canceled after donald trump refuses to participate remotely claiming he's cured of covert 19 democrats though say his health makes him unfit for office. plus new coronavirus restriction sparked protests in many countries prompting a warning from global health officials. we're very concerned about the.

region because 3 critical because of course. a resurgence arrives and transmission of. a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me nicky aaron now a breakthrough and hopes of for lasting peace a cease fire between armenia and azerbaijan has taken effect in a goal no karabakh the 2 south caucasus nations reached an agreement after marathon talks on friday here in moscow russia served as a mediator it took 10 hours for the 2 sides to come to terms but negotiations were held behind closed doors and neither side spoke to the media afterwards it was russia's foreign minister who read out the statement. in your opinion as ceasefire is announced from 12 pm 110th of october for

humanitarian purposes to exchange prisoners of war and other did team persons and the bodies of the killed you're in line with the red cross principles the specific parameters of the cease fire will be agreed later on the true same clothes in exchange of prisoners and war dead although the final details have yet to be finalized but they will pave the way for fota talks which will be mediated by the o.s.c. minsk group which includes russia france and the u.s. but despite the apparent breakthrough there have been kind of claims from both armenia and azerbaijan of truce violations with more on this and international reaction has more ghastly if in istanbul. we've had reports from armenia about azerbaijan forces attempting to carry out offensive operations in the south of calabar we've also heard from the years about johnny side which is accuse the armenians. artillery strikes so there are mixed reports coming from both sides

but i must say i have never seen a ceasefire take hold at the appointed me this appointed hour nevertheless we have positive messages from from the armenian and the as their budget inside regarding this ceasefire the latest has been from as a budget president a live who has said that the time for military escalation the military part of this conflict leads latest escalation is now over now is the tile for the goshi asians of india also saying that it is hopeful that these negotiations will it at last lead to a breakthrough we have also heard from one of the key players in this crisis though not a belligerent itself turkey which had been which ease on the side of george very firmly had been accused of egging is it about john all by frogs saying that it's turkey's war like rhetoric was only pushing is it about john to to seek

a military solution to this crisis as a by john gave i mean its last chance to withdraw from the territories occupied the cease fire is an important 1st step but will not replace a permanent solution as turkey has always said it will support any decision that has by john makes we continue to stand by as furthermore there has been reaction pouring in from around the world we've heard from georgia for example iran have come out of neighboring states saying that they're there they're happy that this is happening now is the time to read this latest. austria has come out and said that they approve this latest sees fied. and also hope that it leads to a war lasting more permanent solution to this crisis and all this pressure that was levied on both sides didn't come just from governments from heads of states there were protests protests as far away as hollywood and los angeles all the way to

paris with pro armenian protesters taking to the streets demanding more action in response to what they what they saw as i said about johnny aggression the reason now a breakthrough which you know just a few days ago was unthinkable both progress is certainly being marketed 1 and there is a lot of optimism that now there is a way forward diplomatic. the karabakh conflict has been simmering for more than 3 decades and the latest flare ups started almost 2 weeks ago there are being conflicting reports of casualties on both sides on friday an armenian man living in the area describes life under daily bombardment. i'm a lot more not a government the bombers every day 1520 times a day we can't leave our basements all shops are closed there's nothing to eat. the whole world should intervene russia and france america they must stop with their

bridge on the whole city's been bombed our whole republic been destroyed both of my sons are on the frontline now one of them came yesterday and left he went back to the front line my neighbor was brought back wounded today a young man 22 years old the hospitals food of wounded people i don't know where my elder son is i haven't heard from him for 10 days everyone ran away to hear of one . the conflict has been spilling beyond the disputed territory into azerbaijan people in nearby villages have taken refuge in a school building which has been transformed into a temporary shelter as the by john has accused pro armenian forces of hitting civilians several dozen families are living in classrooms while waiting to return to their homes. on the 20th of september the bombed us a shell fold near our house so we left and came here there was shooting near our village we were scared or less afraid. we have children

so we were forced to come here do we go back and forth we go to see our house even if they destroy it we will go back to the cease fire is seen as a starting point in broader peace talks between azerbaijan and armenia we heard from anti terror experts legal analyst jennifer do master she stressed the crucial contribution of russia in mediating the process. 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 on engagements of both adviser on in our media so lives are by john sears a closer relationship with turkey russia has been able to broker deals between both 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's lead in these peace talks and especially the

involvement of the minsk group of france united states and russia agreed to be involved in these talks in moscow i think is good it puts that pressure on. at least both sides. a 2nd u.s. presidential debate was supposed to happen this coming thursday but it's been officially canceled after the trump and biden counterpane teams fail to agree on a new format the democratic side on the debate commission suggested the much up be conducted were mostly but donald trump who says he's now killed of covert 19 ruled out that option and tried to reschedule on these lined up several public events even though the results of his latest test unclear i have been returned. and i haven't even numbers or anything yet but i've been reached and i know i'm at either the bottom of the scale or free muslim doctors

have reportedly spoken out in favor of in person debase the new york post is claiming that $175.00 physicians have written to the debate commission saying the event would be safe as long as precautions are taken meanwhile democrats have turned the spotlight on trump's health saying it could provide grounds to remove the president's explains. 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 her. 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 color mental problem and his on end of the man match on able to discharge the 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 more of a say when it comes to the president's health nancy pelosi maintains this is not about threat 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 a post speaker pelosi to stage a coup she's already weaponized impeachment was to keep her from weaponized in the 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 this 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 a blur going by this is that a couple of years 2 and a half cynthia and michelle investigation no matter 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 judge to try to evaluate whether or not. will this is something that they are made up. of representatives before the election but it certainly is not going to pass in the senate and go away. as president truckin so this was a tried everything else take it a try to remove this seems to say something to it you put it at a news site friday last week and this to me is isn't dormice waste of time and

resources and energy so the stuff is being carried out at a time when the speaker refuses to engage in real negotiations about stimulus which is critically important to all of our. demonstration has descended into chaos in the south african town of santa col after thousands of predominantly white farmers surrounded the local courthouse demonstrators wanted to southbank counted over to them whose case was to be heard in court but 2 black men stand accused of brutally murdering a white farmer the crowd trying to force their way into the courthouse as police tried to hold them back but clashes saw a police van overturned and set on fire and a few stun grenades thrown the protesters accuse the government of inaction on farm murders in south africa. i think people are moving together and trying to make a statement to government to show that we will not take this anymore i think we've

reached the point of no return and if government doesn't come to the party you know we won't take this anymore do you feel alone you feel isolated you feel that you might be the next door do you feel there is nobody it's not just about the pharmacist we all is shifted by this it creates a scenario with violence becomes the norm of the day. it all came to a head following the grisly murder of 21 year old farm manager brendan koerner last friday to council thieves have been detained in connection with the case they're suspected of torturing and then stopping the man to death is just the latest in a string of similar attacks south africa's minister of justice has condemned the attack on the courthouse saying hold as murder was no excuse for a narcotic violence landownership has been a contentious issue in south africa for decades according to official data 72 percent of the private farmland is owned by white people who make up 9 percent of

the population we heard from just a clerk from the farm activist group the cynical safety association he says the government's been turning a blind eye to the violence against white farmers the problem is the farmers have been ignored for so long that nothing is done with complaints nobody cares about us our president denies that 4 murders exist that it's a problem it's not just a murder it's a god that's been tortured people being raped we've got our more nearly say weekly stocks they still couldn't service and it's a huge problem for us and it does not get investigated properly we've got a huge problem on the rural areas we don't have the police close to us we are vulnerable from where we are living. systems stokely to slow in dealing with the problems people that scott walker has going back to stream years doesn't get resolved those people get out and quickly and they perpetrate the same crimes over and over again for most want the measures to go out we can't be ignored any longer

good bridge on our government our blood can be heard all over the world footbridge in our government to look after all of its citizens still to come this hour tough new containment measures are being rolled out in many countries after a spike in coated 19 cases we'll look at the public response after the break. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those with. dares thinks. we dare to ask.

anyone else seemed wrong why don't we just don't all. let me. get to shape our disdain become active. and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back the number of countries are bringing in new restrictions often a surge in covert cases that include the u.k. france sweden is really the us israel has now gone back to

a nationwide lockdown down and one in parts of europe new measures are being imposed on balls gyms and restaurants strict limits are in place on launch gatherings and companies are being told to send many of their employees to work from home. well it's been a lot of anger over the containment measures with many lashing out in violent protests most squaring has been a particularly sore point started when some people were refused there's a drop in 2 blows a warning from violent images coming up. in the church. that it. was so much focus on covert the world health organizations voicing alarm at the detrimental effect it's having on other essential health services and medical access

a survey shows 93 percent of countries worldwide to have disrupted or halted mental health services is the 1st data showing the dreadful impact of coded 19 globally on mental health care and stresses the urgency of increased funding we discussed it with the regional director of the w.h.o. rob butler. 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 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 not going to social gatherings do not have a 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 at the european region because we feel it could be contribution of course soon a resurgence and to a rise in transmission of 19 and man's best friend is joining ranks against the global pandemic to in russia train as a working with a special cross breed dog which is lending to 15 out covert cases leaving the virus that way to hide. thank you i thank you the whole procedure is pretty simple there are 2 samples of non-infected and affected volunteers and the dogs are learning to identify covert infections by smell.

was. i. was. to have an outstanding sense of smell it's not only very keen but they also possess inability to sweets from small concentrations to be kwan's and vice versa which is very difficult for many other dogs besides they are a small size which is convenient because they can squeeze tool easily that heaven and turn search ability to. thank. you thank you thank you thank you thank. the u.s. government is suing one of the country's top universities for alleged racial discrimination the justice department claims that yale is limiting the number of

white and asian applicants and violation of federal civil rights laws. for the last few decades yale's oversized standardless intentional use of race has subjected domestic nontransferable against a yale college to discrimination the ground of race yale's race discrimination includes imposing undue and unlawful penalties on racially disfavored applicants including in particular most asian and white applicants in a long running probe of the justice department looked at applicants with similar grade schools and it found that the that a white or asian candidate is up to 10 times less likely than a black candidate to be accepted into the ivy league university yells actions are allegedly a violation of the civil rights act of 1964 similar allegations have been made at elite u.s. colleges for years that since the introduction of affirmative action laws they were aimed to supporting disadvantaged groups but have often raised concerns over

reverse discrimination in response to the new lawsuit to yell defended its admissions policies. i want to be clear you will does not discriminate against applicants of any race or ethnicity admissions practices are completely fair and lawful yale's admissions policies will not change as a result of the filing of this baseless lawsuit. when i'm joined by political activist anthony rogers right thank you for joining us on the program now anthony do you think that ethnicity should play any role when a university is deciding who it should accept. yes i mean this is a very very nuance question unfortunately we do have a legacy of white supremacy and discrimination in the united states writ large and the supreme court did in fact rule that in an effort to increase diversity in some cases it doesn't make sense to look at the ethnicity and the race of applicants to

ensure a diverse student body which is not just good for society writ large but also very good for the students so that they can be prepared for a more diverse world as our country here in the united states especially is becoming more and more diverse by the day by this particular low think again theo has been found in a district court which now if he had is found to have violated the civil rights act do you think we could see similar cases being launched against many other top universities. oh absolutely i mean i think that the people who are brought this suit including department of justice is indeed trying to set a precedence a baseless precedent that i might add because this same justice department has no problems with the fact that harvard yale up to 33 percent of their acceptance is come from so-called legacy students whose parents and grandparents went to that school as a matter of fact we've had presidents including george w. bush who didn't have the greatest grades who was still accepted into yale university as a c. student even john f. kennedy who didn't have great grades it is said was accepted to harvard university

because his grandfather attended the school so we are very concerned that this could set a precedent and actually reduce diversity but what we're really afraid of is that this continues this trope that somehow white people in the united states are being discriminated against more than people of color and that's something that is simply not true and we have to get to the bottom of if we really are going to become a post racial nation seems that agent is a single doubt that if the minority group west affected by affirmative action do you think it's fat hardworking asian students to be excluded from top universities due to these rules. absolutely not i stand in solidarity with asian people asian students who worked extremely extremely hard i think that that should absolutely be looked into that should be investigated no one who is qualified to go to a top university should be disqualified solely because of their race and if this is happening to asian people it warrants investigation and it warrants being raided

from admission process is altogether absolutely affirmative action in the with a previously upheld by the u.s. supreme court several times in recent decades could we see these rulings if trump succeeds in appointing a new conservative supreme court justice to thank. you. oh absolutely i mean there are so many things that are hanging in the balance with this open seat left by the great ruth bader ginsburg that said again what i'm really worried about and what i would. recommend for the trumpet ministration to look at is that in fact the people who have benefited the most from affirmative action programs are in fact white women followed closely behind by asian people so trump may actually be helping people who he would be looking to to continue his presidency coming up in the upcoming election so we have to look at the full facts and not just act impulsively and we also know that there are tory or motives with the department of justice

which is clearly to uphold white supremacy which is fueled this country for far too long. time. and thank you for joining us here on out the international way back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines.

it's wrong with us as an american citizen that he didn't want to talk to us by. the time we are on fast to die and i don't think. i would vote for a republican over trump i would vote for anyone who does not do this and ask how to bring a new defeat don't try. to feel. like a wife. she can handle. she and i divorce because our trouble is elected president and i voted for her and she crashed and feel. that

when the most important election. in our history is listed a months to go before the next presidential election how is the atmosphere in the us now. want of the highest priority programs only they vote should they do next cut just some of the questions we put to the american. join me every thursday on the elec simon short and i'll be speaking to get us on the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. show small seemed wrong but all roles just don't call. me old yet to shape out these days because that's ahead and in games from it because of

the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she says to look for common ground. max kaiser this is the kaiser really poured it 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 in a look at 2 different headlines and.
