you know if you're going to exploit for a trial here in los angeles there we're going to come out you see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight. a disputed no go in a car of back region enjoys its 1st night's. ceasefires agree with pockets of showing you have been flaring up in other parts of the disputed area. some of the fiercely contested city of. artillery shelling the city right now this is the least safest place of all of the region. says 9 people have been killed and dozens more injured to one of its cities outside the immediate conflict zone came under attack with armenia shelling of its territories. they're going to get the 2nd day of what could be.

russia's corona virus vaccine is poised to complete the final stage of testing. there among the volunteers taking part of the infection rates in russia new delhi records. and the u.k. prepares to employ. marshals who will monitor compliance with coronavirus restrictions in public places we hear the mixed reactions. there's already many restrictions in place anyway it wouldn't make any difference to me i don't know what actually went quite scary about. the morning i welcome this is r.t. international. the ceasefire between armenia and azerbaijan is entering the 3rd day but it's already under strain on monday morning after

a 1st night of calm and air raid siren was surge in the capital of the go in a car a block. here are pictures showing some of the devastation earlier hostilities of in the panic at over the weekend in your van accuse the other of violating the trees on saturday with russia's mediation the sides agreed to a pause inviting them to allow an exchange of prisoners and warders. of a sudden front of the disputed region is seen some of the fiercest fighting since the conflict began more than 2 weeks ago on sunday despite the supposed truce the city of hundreds was shelled our correspondent a guest on off was there during the attack. right now we're getting closer to the town of detroit it's on the southern front and it is probably the heaviest contested region in all of nagorno-karabakh i think is even before the cease fire was announced the president over there by john of the family had said that the city defenses had fallen and that well as of that moment the town was under the as there

by johnny control of course their media enforces the denied all of that saying that they're still in control of the city so even despite the ceasefire both sides are wrestling heavily for the control of this town. so we're inside the city of adroit this part of town at least this part of town is under the control of the armenian forces of the forces of nagorno-karabakh artillery his shelling the city right now this is the least safest place of all of the region. is what. we're being told to go to get down into bomb shelter this is where we're going to stay for now and wait out wait out the shelling. so essentially they're telling us that only one person at a time can move.

ok that was a that was very brief that was very quick but it's simply way way too dangerous for us to stay here for long so we're getting the hell out of a draw to there's no ceasefire there's no ceasefire here has already told you it's being shelled basically both sides are wrestling hard for the control of this town it's a matter of all or it's a matter of integrity for both. the useless bill. and little going on as we. but you. got that.

so you can see what happened to our car we don't know exactly what caused the tires to go flat but we actually had to move we drove for several 100 mi says on just on that century no time no anything right now our driver will be installing a spare one and will continue to drive. so it's been about 30 minutes before we could get back on the road and resume the movement as we were helping our driver change the flat tire we could hear military jets flying above us and bombing the mountains next to the city of patrols so there's that for the ceasefire for now i guess down of reporting from a got a cab back see. thing to go to kind of a conflict is some 30 years old the region is formally part of us by john it is populated mainly by ethnic albanians and broke away back in the 1990 s. after a bloody conflict but fighting is also spill beyond the disputed territory armenia

2nd largest city of martini was hit by shelling at the weekend focus can be seen scattered around the streets there with nearby buildings badly damaged have been no reports yet of civilian casualties. one of john's largest cities ganja was also attacked in the early hours of sunday but he says 9 people were killed more than 30 injured i mean he denies being behind that great smile journalist from has this report. the news about. ganja caused the fury and outrage is the reaction among the azerbaijanis. has been the 2nd consecutive missile attack on the 2nd biggest city of the country with the population of half a 1000000 but this time 9 people were killed and more than 30 people were injured including kids and the reaction among other budget has varied it from cautious to

radical ones. 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 but of dust what's cease fire we know these armenians very well we know how they behave they are 2 faced they completely locked on us you can't even call them seaman's you know 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 the officials of the beneficial is already paid to visit the scene the head of the foreign affairs department. called the. act of genocide by the president of the country. said it was the brutal violation of geneva convention and war

crime and he warned i mean yes to. we had what residents in both nations capital think of the turks. we have now given armenia one last chance to resolve everything peacefully a good solution for amenia would be to withdraw its troops from our territory this or that it's not something to be honest i reacted to the truce very negatively because there is no point in trusting their words or to know that one of time has passed as we all the time listen to them listen about try to peacefully resolve this whole conflict but apparently our words do not reach them yes you have to call them up or i am of course in favor of a truce because gondry says suffering great loss of human lives is moment in such a truce at this stage is the right step we should thank rash afraid that it happened but i want people to have then disband us so they can live nominal.

with the coronavirus pandemic 2nd wave breaking now in countries around the globe russia's covert vaccine is poised to complete its final stage trials spinning the jobs already been registered in russia it was developed by scientists that moscow's gamma lay institute 55000 volunteers have been taking part in this phase 3 of testing among them hearties own correspondent for national. moscow clinic number 68 in the city center nothing special except this is where i received russia's vaccine against call that 19 hopefully able to resist public enemy number one as the world health organization calls it. this navigation science has called with 19 vaccine clinical trial is this way. maybe i received a placebo because this is

a so-called double blind trial meaning neither the doctors know their participants know who's getting it was only 75 percent of the volunteers are getting jobs with a real shot and i hope i'm among them and i have reasons to believe i really am i'll explain why i got the 1st shot exactly 21 days ago i felt really miserable the next day headache muscle pain here for the vaccine developers say every 6 volunteer faces similar side effect by the way they faded away 48 hours or so later today i'm going to get the 2nd dose of what could be the most awaited drug in the world why to bolster the immune response to but if the form is off to the 1st shot before being approved for the trial i was checked and scanned and checked to get the blood test you're in tazz call with 19 task of blood pressure also age and level and today we do some testing again. vivax same by the way divided the world of those

criticizing the research too little evidence too fast and those phrasing rushes i'm going to get vaccines right here. ok i hear. i need to relax my who've. moved. from the especially after the 1st short i was. i have been monitored by doctors how they have been calling me and you need media calls you know and after 2 days shaw it's i'm going to continue staying in touch with medics you know and as well as all volunteers because it's a trial officer all. right that's it i'm done well they had of people going to where the vaccine is made says by november russia is expected to be able to produce

up to $6000000.00 doses monthly bring in russia close to herd immunity high in the region otieno hockey from morse code. meanwhile the pundit cause school in significantly worse here in russia the daily infection rate was so thick new record on sunday passing the grid 13002000 more cases than seen during the peak of the 1st wave of the virus back in may 1st is the very latest on the situation from our correspondent remind culture of good morning rym grim reading these figures just exactly how is russia dealing with the surging cases. absolutely well yes indeed over the weekend it was so with so huge a surge in the number of. cases more than 13000. and more than $45.00 hundreds in

a moscow alone now city officials have called on the citizens to be more cautious and to observe gloves and masks rule as much as possible. while stopping just short of introducing a lockdown measures the mayor's office have announced new rules and guidelines that will be in place in order to keep people safe now let's go through all of those 1st of all the kids who are in a school break right now while their vacations been extended by another week also senior citizens have been advised this. day at home as well now both school kids and seniors their reduced transport fares have been suspended for the moment to encourage them to stay at home also employers have been asked to send 30 percent of their workforce. home to work from home and with the rest working from of the offices and they've also been asked to report all those who work remotely and those

who meet to come to work now also those who. don't observe those regulations they will be fine now let's hear from the moscow mayor sergey savan and . unfortunately there is no other option actually this is the lightest option we're into prices don't close enough search of the economy closes. now thousands of people have already become a part of a 3rd stage of trant trial of the sputnik vaccine the project so far has had a 100 percent success rate however moscow mayor warned that so with the growing number of cold cases recently people still need to remain vigilant and of course to observe all the precautionary rules sergei's have done and said that he also hopes that the 3rd stage trials will soon be over and mass inoculation will also begin

this have a listen again. there will surely be a vaccine that can be used for mass vaccination in a couple of months and the strong will be out of them but we need to get through trials without problems there's a constant risk of someone who sick with courbet and doesn't even suspect it being nearby. at the moment there is hope that they will not be a lockdown in moscow like earlier this year now in spring residents were restricted from leaving their of portman's and the only thing that could do is go food shopping to nearest stores they could leave for medical help. and also to walk with their pets but at the moment the country seems to be 1 more prepared than earlier in the it's 20 it's wednesday with more people being tested and of course at the moment there are more than enough resources to battle you cases of call that 19 in the 2nd wave as well and truly here in russia and that's how the country is responding with details from an coaster at that thank you. turning stateside in the

grim consequences of spring and summer time code restrictions are becoming increasingly to the for almost a quarter of all americans say they don't have enough money to see them through just the next 3 weeks and it's not just in the u.s. where the pandemics widen the gap between rich and poor countries don't quarter explains. 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 the most well lifetimes 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 miss the people around the world lost their jobs does not occur with students this is how their rotten 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 this 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 $20000000000.00 of government stimulus has already 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 88 $1000000.15 people could fall back into extreme poverty as a result of the pandemic with an additional increase of between $23000000.35 in 2021 potentially bringing the total number of new people living in extreme poverty

to between $110000000.15 the world bank defines extreme poverty 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 it is. capitalism handles a 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 an 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 that is in fact the cause of this growing poverty for which there is no

excuse possible. now the number of infections is also soaring in the u.k. why many brits a bit left confused by the government's latest anti covert measures smore on that after this break. join me every thursday on the alex salmond short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm sure business i'll see you there. is your media a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe.

isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is fake. in the world corrupted you need to descend. so join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallows. welcome back to the u.k. said daily covert infection rate has passed the 15000 mark later on monday prime minister johnson is expected to induce yet more measures among the early ones unveiled so-called covert marshals to ensure compliance with restrictions the role of covert $960.00 or marshalls or equivalents is not to force covert 19 regulation

he said local authority compliance and enforcement offices. although small will be picked from local council staff or volunteers still be equipped with body cameras and keep an eye on anything from pubs to weddings a low price a yellow card system for businesses with warnings for 1st time violators now the marshals will also receive deescalation training in order to do with people who get aggressive. the marshals themselves will not have informant powers they will though inform the police of cases of them compliance the government to 30000000 pounds to finance these marshals under the compliance activities but the move caused confusion among local authorities across the u.k. as the project wasn't previously discussed police have also criticized the idea we asked people on the streets of london what they think there's already many restrictions in place anyway it wouldn't make any difference to me i haven't seen any covert martial i don't know actually whether it's quite scary. it infringes on

people's privacy as such i do think there needs to be some sort of enforcement of people being able to follow the rules but at the same time i'm not sure if that's the best use of the government's money people were not wearing their masks so i would actually have like somebody to say i'm sorry you've got to wear your mask and be vigilant about it we see everywhere people breaking walls and i guess that would help to help them but after saying no i'm not in favor of that are i we do think it's a break of. the foreign ministers of member states are meeting this monday in luxembourg among the topics on their agenda are possible new sanctions against russian officials over moscow's alleged role in alexina valley's poisoning something russia strongly denied the opposition activists fell severely ill in late august with the west quick to point the finger at the kremlin of. experience there are still more questions than answers. someone must know the whole truth of what

happened to alex a new play in what the motive was how they did it what i want to do is try to unravel just a small part of this time called webb and see where we end up maria is head of the investigations department she's worked for years many journalists know me to maria power need be had different best occasions out of our news on to corruption fund but her name doesn't appear on the list of employees or in the credits of any of the funds projects she claims she's worked on in fact few people have heard of her just a month ago even of on his former deputy chief had trouble remembering her. i didn't remember her right away but it came to me i saw him 2016 at one of the internal events but they're already said not only treating her in a special way this is not just an ordinary employee was by her he treated her with special reverence respectfully talk to her as an equal this is not generally found

in a look sees how what you communicate with someone on an equal footing because she's more always prevailed him like hearing down from my throne laugh at my jokes it wasn't with her there was relatively equal communication with her which underlines a certain mysterious status let's follow this elusive maria on the day of the fateful flight and the once off trip it's the 20th of august the opposition figures on a flight from thompson to moscow but maria stays behind in siberia she has work to finish then a video is posted. and here another moment of mystery emerges at 8 25 am the pilot puts in a request for an emergency landing. 5 minutes later he gets told there's a bomb scare down below and his landing isn't a sure thing it turns out to be just got a stat but why did it come from giving the appearance in the media of a bomb hoax at the airport to prevent the. emergency landing of the plane carrying

of only investigators working as additional versions of what happened it has been found that the anonymous message was sent through a server located on the territory of germany safely lied to me as hurried to hospital in the meantime maria decides to return to the hotel where he's been staying and to look for any clues left behind and with the evidence she's backed she flies out to home to see in a filename 2 days later she's on board that a much and left carrying a felony and his wife. lynn and maria considered a friendly european face as a part time resident of london is welcomed with open arms. germany is sure that she does not work for the others being there are no fools in the modern world it means that they are sure that a person is not dangerous to their country they fully understand what kind of person this is in germany is also met with ceremony with to way by emergency army personnel to the shower to hospital and even gets a surprise visitor. it was

a personal meeting between the chancellor and missed in the vo me it was a meeting with a person who fell sick after a nerve agent attack and who's been treated in germany a hospital visit from a head of state to a foreign national in the middle of a pandemic in the meantime repair check becomes the power to so set in a detective story and gives the greatest need because all the way from that hotel room in the middle of siberia through a number of ports she smuggled out enough agent it was terrifically packaged in different places because we understood that no matter what this bottles were just bottles nothing of value but there is a microscopic chance that they will be valuable if we hadn't taken them from tomsk they would have become trash there is no doubt that now these bottles would be gone those hof drunk bottles of water become star witnesses apparently the basis on what to jump identifies not the chalk on the trigger open. diplomatic firestorm lengthy

power fecht trail to the conclusion that an opposition figure who talked too much was poisoned by fog and in the far tearing country case closed or is that during the preflight security check of maria pet checotah machado the airport novosibirsk there was no contain is more than $100.00 milliliters in volume in her suitcase and backpack including any bottles of water after the check maria paved cheek purchased a $500.00 milliliter bottle of water from an ass side vending machine with which she flew to the city of arms so we don't fully know who maria is and now her role as the alleged bottle smuggler is more puzzling but before anyone had the chance to ask these questions and seek any i want says suspicions have turned into policy we consider that there is no other plausible explanation for missing the van this poisoning than of russian involvement and responsibility drawing the necessary conclusions from these facts france and germany will share with european partners

proposals for additional sanctions some have already found the motive the weapon and the guilty party they also know what punishment they want their criminal to suffer is it possible. if they carry evidence of the agent and not to contaminate or infect any once or only but on the place of it. if you go back to the case in england where the group rose where. there were 2 other persons who were infected by coming into contact with the norwegian agent therefore the average growth would look regarded not credible that if you are carrying a number to a gauge and then you must guard definition i can tell you they. are coming to you but actually the more one looks the more tangled this all becomes and the more it reads as unsolved mystery thriller and not case closed.

ok something unusual now a picture of onions has been banned by facebook for being overtly sexual this is after an algorithm took exception to an ad posted by a canadian and it's the 1st absurd on the site. in the times but. cancelled with the slogan on the sexy facebook facebook removed tonight for being overtly sexual and then they were stored beyond confide in and since it would be good for propaganda for trump is ok on facebook but onions are a problem. we use automated took knology to keep nudity off our apps but
