welcome to our team for moscow it's sunday that means we're going to take you through some of the biggest stories we've covered here over the past week 1st though to the weekend's developments and the latest in the standoff in the caucasus between armenia and azerbaijan in the disputed territory of nagorno-karabakh the 2 countries say they're abiding by a cease fire that came into force on saturday but both of accuse the other of violating that truce with russia serving as intermediary with the 2 sides managed to send an agreement including an exchange of prisoners and war dead in the contested region the deal paves the way for further talks to be mediated by russia the united states and france here's some of what we saw from the key players on saturday. a ceasefire is announced from 12 pm 110th of october for humanitarian purposes. we are committed to a peaceful settlement of the current conflict and the ready to resume the peace process if the armenian side is. committed to the truce regime the phase for

a political settlement will come and the phase for pressured negotiations will end our goal remains the same to restore the integrity of azerbaijan the fighting erupted in a corner karabakh in late september with armenia and azerbaijan laying blame on each other as well as young claims 9 people died and over 30 were injured during shelling of the city of gunfire in the early hours of sunday a rocket reportedly hit a residential building and rescue a rescue operation is currently underway amenia denies any involvement in that attack but locals think otherwise. it was 2 in the morning we were sleeping i heard a huge sound and i saw everything falling on me glass wood the wall everything my son ran and in a t. shirt and picked me up i saw rock fall on my face i opened my eyes and another rocket hit i said to myself what is this i opened my eyes and couldn't see anything of dost what ceasefire we know these armenians very well we know how they behave

they are 2 faced they completely laconia you can't even call them humans. they are barbarians they are not human if you have a war it's with soldiers but we are civilians we were sleeping at night. just hours after the truce took effect on saturday air raid sirens went off in cairo back and locals run for cover our correspondent a go to doll of his in the local capital several explosions the city has borne the brunt of the shell fire of the past 2 weeks there are multiple civilian casualties although the numbers are unclear at this stage you go brought us this report from the area just as the fragile truce initially came into effect. the city of step on the kurds is a sorry sight i can't see it has been razed to the ground but it has been battered by so many bombs of so many calibers sizes and types this street got the full wrath of a cluster munition all the hallmarks i hear burn down because shattered glass and if you look closely at the walls and windows here along this whole street they have

pierced with tiny tiny holes this is the deadly power of a cluster bomb and other aspects of using one is that when a rocket shoots dozens of little bombs of little grenades many of them don't explode so we were being told not to go down that street because that's where locals gathered those grenades that didn't explode and there detonating them on purpose they're doing so because each unexploded grenade like this poses a grave threat to especially to children because they look harmlessly look innocent so a kid picks up such a such a bomb starts playing with it and it explodes in their hands now it's been just hours into this tentative cease fire between armenia and azerbaijan but everyone who i've been talking to and counting on it was with each since midday no truce has been observed the war continues there is absolutely no change to put emphasis far

is temporary for 2 or 3 years it will be calm and then it will start again like this time every day we are in danger we wake up and thank god that we are alive i don't know what is going to happen to us as. we have moved trust in what they say and particularly in the current developments in the ceasefire looks were suspicious staus aside from the residents being caught up in the violence journalists have also been hit on thursday bombing devastated and historic cathedral in the corner karabakh which was struck twice 3 russian journalists who were nearby at the time were injured one severely he was in a coma and on a ventilator earlier but is now improving the other 2 have since left the country. a russian government flight that now a hospital in moscow. the director of britain's crisis research institute told us he thinks neither side will be able to make real progress without broad public support. partly because they were all bound in research on both sides not just between soldiers fighting or both sides public opinion and for instance we must be

afraid that was a risk that already but there are some dissenting voices saying that why are we stopping the war when we as a result we winning so there's a danger that governments who made the improvement could be pressed for public opinion to new that will particularly only as there is not the other problem is that the agreement is essentially a very short one it says that it's to enable the new to be recut and also christians to exchange and goes for the top story she found a way of mechanism of bringing about a longer term cheese for peace well i think russia is the key player because it enjoys a considerable degree of trust and a little contact with those of the german omonia and its next door. and so it has its own interests in a peaceful solution to the problems perhaps other players further away. interests but they don't really risks rational deceit stands to lose if there's

a conflict in its backyard. nations across europe are tightening their coronavirus restrictions after a spike in case numbers germany france and the u.k. have all seen dramatic increases in recent weeks the british prime minister is expected to announce a partial lockdown for the north of england on monday it could include the closure of all pubs and restaurants but local mayors are resisting the plans and threatening to launch a parliamentary challenge a nationwide public trust in the government's at a low ebb shadi edwards dashti now explains. and considering that you take government's response the cave at 19 brilliant job probably wouldn't be the words on the tips of most people's tongues over the course of the year. the u.k. has seen thousands of people dying in care homes tests and tracing deadlines set and missed the u.k. topping the death toll across europe plus of course britain being on the verge of a round 2 and while most people think the government's response needs to be completely written off it seems as though not everyone agrees it's been. i think it

will be like the lympics that's when it's all over and we look back and reflect we would actually be extremely proud of ourselves some people might think a wooden spoon is more appropriate than a shiny metal especially considering the latest news that 16000 positive tests for private 19 have been lost meaning that super spreaders a blindly unaware this still spreading thousands of people blissfully unaware they've been exposed to covert potentially spreading this deadly virus time and hospital admissions of increasing in the 2nd wave blunder after blunder critics say the government's not learning from its mistakes but as the country hurtles towards a 2nd wave of the virus confusion is still lingering in the guess with mixed messages coming from those in power. in. the hospitality but as i understand it. apologies i misspoke today in the northeast new rules mean you cannot meet people from different households in social settings indoors including in pubs restaurants

and your home you should also avoid socializing with other households outside go to work but stay at home eat out to help out but don't socialize kick start the economy but stay in your it's no wonder the country is confused especially considering the man telling the u.k. what to do is accused of being a tad confused to one of the major problems is widespread confusion about the local restrictions people feel very let down a very frustrated very forgot to come within all the primal boris johnson off to rule these all around president to times far to go back to all that no prime minister has ever fought before and not of months of economic paralysis boris johnson began to i'm not the look down even though parts of the u.k. was still plagued with the virus and so the north south divide found its latest partition the timing of the lifting of national lockdown was london centric please remember this the next time you see politicians pointing fingers at our people on

the eve of a 2nd wave many might think the government would know what it was doing by now especially considering it's how to round 6 months to prepare the when carrot has been replaced with confusion can we government really expect people to for the rules when it doesn't seem to know them itself shut the other stuff the artsy. disturbing environmental mystery and just on tuesday thousands of dead sea creatures washed ashore in russia's far east sparking fears of an ecological disaster is more on the unfolding crisis and can tap into. a. national petition for the past few weeks all the surface at the beach who went into the water were experiencing not problems when i 1st. we didn't pay too much attention to their symptoms we nationally put it down to the bright sun and strong winds but when the problems persisted on cloudy days too we became worried for

started showing other symptoms not even so it seemed quite dangerous in the slideshow of some of the 1st sign was some of the surface feeling sick we thought it was a rotavirus something to do with the drinking water then people started complaining about ira tehsil sore throats in general it would seem. most of us just this sometimes happens off to storms in the starfish often washed up on the shore in large numbers but we haven't seen octopuses wash up before that strange. some of the local surface of some of the animals have been behaving strangely in particular the ring seals would swim with us they usually only come up with spending most of the time on the water is now when they break the surface they

stop book water while. swimming with bullshit is a dud to dust we receive test results from the water all 3 songs we took showed hoyle based products were 4 times over the limit and final was twice the limit. you to. the south say still to come the spanish government's move to all but seal off the madrid to tackle a covert spike is struck down by the capital's highest court we'll tell you about that among our stories when the bt returns after this.

i'm max kaiser one more of my guide to financial survival this is on a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these hedge funds are simply not accountable and we'll just move on to them. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for a while because we are.

more of our stories from the weekend the french president's plan to fight extremism by teaching arabic in schools has been met with strong resistance charlotte investigate reports next from paris. and the plans announced by president korn france is fighting back against separatism and a deviation away from the secular nature of the republic but the law which has 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 drop out 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 to say no this is much and mostly when there are more serious matters but 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. 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 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 loss is widely offered 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 teaching arabic in schools only fosters communitarianism and blues the feeling of patriotism the exact opposite of what mr. there's nothing to share in school. i think there's

a message. that's where all the french are against this. today i mean if we don't want to push integration if we want to help communities join together. and wish it. one of the best instruments which care to use to get people around to get along so goes a little but 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 a specific branch of muslims who naturally make the headlines but this is only a branch that's not all muslims don't generalise. retires court on thursday rejected new measures imposed by the central government ruling that they violate people's freedoms their opt out order was issued after

a surge of covert cases in the spanish capital but opponents say the decision was taken too quickly without consent and ignore the fundamental rights of millions of locals internationally it was the fear they might disappear courts of justice in madrid as i have to use to ratify the measures and it restricting people's inability which were imposed by recent central government order the community of madrid saw those measures as hastily nonconsensual and effecting the under mantel rights of millions of citizens that the courts have unanimously seen eye to eye with us on the island and some of madrid residents have been telling us how they feel about the government's lockdown plan of the capital. seek him out it seems that the measures are only intended to annoy madrid because there are many provinces in spain which are going through the same thing as us and they don't have to do the same so i am not at all in favor of what the government is doing. has made us i think the measures that were taking were good but it is true that

economically it will be very bad for us that. we have to move on we have to continue with our knives and i think that we can have a normal life if we are careful spanish political analyst jose ramos says the focus has shifted away from fighting the virus. out of this that open son instead of thinking about a real fix for the problem in a common effort to fight the virus from which everyone would benefit the central government and the regional authorities are constantly criticized anger is boiling over in israel over the new nationwide coronavirus lockdown tens of thousands rallied in cities across the country on saturday calling on prime minister benjamin netanyahu to step down clashes broke out in tel aviv and several people were injured. security guard has been arrested in the us city of denver over a fatal shooting a protester was killed during rival rallies between left and right wing groups on saturday local reports say the suspect had been hired by a local t.v. channel meantime over in belarus.

police used stun grenades and water cannon against an opposition rally in the capital many dozens of people were reportedly detained including russian journalists covering the rest is the latest in a series of protests since august disputed election of which the opposition claims . all claims physician says the president is no longer contagious after recovering from covert $98.00 and that he can resume campaigning across the country said the 2nd presidential debate will not be going ahead it was cancelled off the trump refused to take part remotely the vice presidential candidates did manage a t.v. face off this way but there was an unexpected star who stole the spotlight for all of 2 minutes.

the v.p. debate was in stark contrast to the earlier trump biden showdown of camelot harrison mike pence mostly refrained from interrupting each other but predictably the pandemic took center stage. the very 1st day president donald trump has put the health of america 1st whatever the vice president is claiming the administration has done and clearly it hasn't worked if the trump administration approves a vaccine before or after the election should americans take it and would you take it and if donald trump tells us i said to him that we should take it i'm not taking the fact that you continue to undermine public confidence in a vaccine if

a vaccine emerges during the trump administration i think is is unconscionable there's a lot missing here in terms of substance i think there was a lot that was was lacking in this debate look at a political issue that is the centerpiece of the debate coronavirus the coronavirus is an important issue but it's not a legitimate political issue because not 2 sides to it there's not a pro coronavirus side in an anti-crime a virus side but there are legitimate political issues pro-choice 1st pro-life views on gun control the use of drug legalization should america be the world's police anymore these are legitimate political issues that are not being discussed because again we're letting the media is one to debate in a way that's just designed to be the most sensational and the most you know quote topical rather than the most politically relevant is part of the problem of the format of the debate are they trying to cover. too many issues would it be but it would be better served to have one or 2 things that they talk about the whole night and really go at those issues and quite candidly why do we even have vice president

to have this debate in the 1st place they don't create policy we're all very interested in policy and the technical details you know but a lot of people that's not the way that they make their decisions about voting and most people are trying to vote on. what they you know with their friends and family like they're making decisions about ideas that they've heard about but they don't really know the details i mean we can't expect regular americans to be knowledgeable about all these different vast policy areas even the politicians themselves don't really know all of the details of these different policy areas i don't think it's true that the american people are unable to understand the issues i think that the issues are intentionally obfuscated in a way to make sure that the average american cannot weigh in on them perhaps a different format where you have maybe 3 or 4 broad categories that allow for the debaters to get into into the into those those categories might be important was there a winner who won this debate even in one. well i don't know if there was

a would or not it i tend to agree that you know a lot of these questions are really not areas of substantive discussion i think we really can't expect them to get into the details of any kind of particular policies and that they're really not trying to do neither one of the candidates really inspired a lot of confidence if we had to choose a winner i would have to say that had to be maybe. only because of. his weight to the point i don't think that either debate changed any single voters opinion whatsoever i think that the voters had already made up their mind before the debate i think tonight's debate did absolutely nothing and the reason for that again is that the full opinions were kept out this was a rigged debate and that's the way to pay for this out well to politics up next to all that have your next edition about his biggest stories of the week i for that.

matter was a very nice show from president putin that i could have said no thank you or i could have said thank you and i said i'll take it and now it's time to introduce my it's not bashful. don't travel thank you says very much was the. name whatever you want to name i mean i don't know how would i come that news that's dishonest telecom's that a recorder network that's totally dishonest c.n.n. is says you know so 100 percent negative i clearly there's a change for us. changes so sometimes i'll say that's going to be a great story be

a pretty good report and others good as you. will see what happens to. those and who knows what we'll see on the field with the success of. a dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells their bodies on the streets many of them under-age. los angeles police reveal a taste of their daily challenge no if you're going to exploit for a child here in los angeles oh they were going to come as you see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight the 6 trades. there. are.

no longer welcome to well there are people who like to say that and that he sees that or that it would work but it's almost never last seen as the latest flare of the pilots in the south caucasus shows pleasingly conflict 1000 make it easier to solve and later or even less deadly as a regime here this is a bridge and will latch their readiness to fight until the last ending soldier should the international media here just once again try to put this war on ice well to discuss that this i'm now joined by ambassador carey cabin all former co-chair of the men's group that's there it's a great pleasure to read on air for me to talk to you thank you very much for making the time. to be with you today. now we are now are rounding out the 2nd. week of violence that several 100. that on both

sides and that is to add to almost 80000 dad that accumulated over almost 38 years of this conflict and while international mediators keep calling for an immediate cease fire i don't think anyone is listening who will walk and possibly stop this war right now i believe fortunately in the last few days we've seen some promising signs i think there's a procedure in presidents being set up to get back to a cease fire and there heard by that good i would say you know who the addition to your local income it may be syria is the number of casualties that this is much higher than is publicly as at this point as are but it's only authorities know announced as we've heard terrorist orgies this certainly has been fighting this it suits through this long there probably hundreds and that is well so be death to

your maid will be approaching thousands and while our there is a flurry of diplomatic activity here surrounding this conflict i don't think we have seen any actual evidence from the ground that they have still it is out about it and. that suits are present it's a sad sad. issue were peace but when parties to a conflict it seems there is about to be a truce there's up to do that it's a case of on the ground to a little bit of the way in to improve your bet on 2 positions in your defensive positions it would be be seeing some of the literally tied to the fact they were.
