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 tests. as among the volunteers taking part. in the british prime minister rules out a complex set of rules to. partial lockdown in the north of england but there is growing public frustration over the government's handling of the crisis. that we'll never know when that when. the world this is artsy international my names you know i mean hello and welcome to the program our top story. the ceasefire between armenia and azerbaijan is barely

holding together as the shaky truce enters a 4th day on monday air raid sirens were again heard in the capital of the spew didn't go back these pictures show the aftermath of a 2 week bombardment then in the early hours of saturday backed coup in europe agreed to a pause in the fighting with russia's mediation laws to a large foreign exchange of prisoners and war did however over the weekend both sides accused each other of violations the saw if of the disputed region has seen some of the worst fighting since the conflict started on sunday this by the suppose a truce the city of how drouet was shelled when our correspondent igor shut down off was there. 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 was there by john the homily 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 there media and forces that 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. because we. were 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 it 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 look at here military jets flying above us and bombing the mountains next to the city of atros so there's that for the ceasefire for now i guess down of reporting from the corner karabakh see. just a little. the current conflict stretches back more than 3 decades although the region is neatly part of azerbaijan it's populated mainly by ethnic armenians it broke away back in the 1990. 1 of our.

largest cities was also bombarded in the early hours of some the crusades 9 people were killed more than 30 injured we spoke to a journalist in azerbaijan. the news about. ganja caused the fury and outrage is reaction among azerbaijanis has been deceptive 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 the reaction among as it was done as varied for all cultures to radical the officials of the down officials already paid a visit to see the head of the foreign affairs department. called the attack act of genocide by the president of the country. said it was the brutal violation of geneva convention and war crimes and he warned i mean years to

give them. and these are some of the latest pictures we've received from ganja showing the aftermath of a bombing there were many and president has denied any involvement saying it was by john that broke the cease fire arm in circassian spoke exclusively to r.t. we will be airing that full interview later on choose they for now here is a pretty. so are there violations on the part of armenia and if there are why is it happening different there are violations and as far as i understand it one violet's the other one nasser's and then it goes back it goes around back to the initial place who was the 1st point number one in the case of. the bombing or shelling. journos of a bug john cleary from a ship from my government from ministry of defense and for foreign minister and foreign minister i have spoken about that already that it's definitely not not

there i mean it has filled it that's number one number 2 when you were speaking about breaking the cease fire it it was unfortunately immediately after the cease fire was announced a 12th log step on i.q. of the capital city of. the. republic was shelved and i mean i'm speaking about civilian shellings as world 3rd we should not. forget. in this account the real fact who started this stage of war it was the us there is side clearly. the people of nagorno cut above the republic of arts. so violations are there there are fortunate and i think all parties have to put a lot of efforts in order to stop it and of course it's very very important to have

make an american is a verification of who is breaking the cease fire i mean these are many ways of doing that internationally using technology but that should be put in place because until the cease fire is not established fully the humanitarian side of these cease fire will not be. not and neither of sides will be able to use that laws are a sham for its part has denied violating the cease fire and we spoke to former azerbaijani diplomats elnora he said his country's merely claiming back its own. i don't think that the you will find an a citizen among the un member states which will not support it has to get its own territorial integrity we have to get i think that this is he a key issue here we have to understand that the other by john has been admitted to the u. n. on the specific visiting it at that of us and we don't want any other countries than it is where it shall be made much clear that we had marked leaning in it and

if you know the republican party media and the republic of i mean it is the perfectly aware of what we are claiming were claiming implementation of the un security council resolution very much clear so i think that there are there are messages quite sometimes cottons going wrong direction as it was on my jumps 5 and on the government which is not the case as in my job is claiming back to control what can legally be long street and we have to make it clear and it has been clear for the last 30 years that we that we don't target any i mean who lieschen iranians have tradition to leave on of that of my genuine and we are looking for a peaceful coexistence of the 2 communities in the world incredible that was officially positional azerbaijan over the last 'd 30 years and we have a teacher rita destroyed many times and we have done practical steps that direction to show our cities definitely would believe that the iranians and the by janice can leave to get. coated 19 infections up and setting grim records here in

russia with daily cases now over 13000 each of the past 2 days that's 2000 more than cheering the initial papers you can see are back in may moscow's urged residents remain cautious. there will surely be a vaccine that can be mass vaccination in a couple of months and this drug will be over but we need to get through trials without problems there's a constant risk of someone who's sick with covert and doesn't even suspect it being nearby in response to the spike in new measures have been introduced in the russian capital cheaper travel for students on the elderly has been stopped to encourage them to stay away while companies are required to have at least 30 percent of office staff working from home but there's also cause for optimism russia's covert vaccine is set to complete final stage trials the sputnik v. germ has already been registered in russia and it was developed by scientists at moscow's institute $55000.00 volunteers are taking part in the 3rd phase of

testing and among them is r t's maria for national. moscow clinic number 68 in the city center nothing special except this is where i received the rushes vaccine against call that 19 hopefully able to resist public enemy number one as the world health organization calls it. this navigation science says call 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 or face a 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 called 90 task of blood pressure also general level and today we do some testing again russia's food mcvie vaccine by the way divided the world of those criticizing the research too little evidence too fast and those praising russia's efforts i'm going to get vaccine 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 wanting to buy. the happy me and you need to do it calls you know and after 2 days i'm going to continue staying in touch with mates you know and as well as all volunteers because it's a trial after all. that's it i'm done well they had a they were going to where the vaccine is made by the federal rush is expected to be able to produce up to $6000000.00 doses monthly bring in russia close to herd immunity high in the regional party from moscow. to another headline stories millions of u.k. citizens are about to be placed on partial lockdown. containment plans on prime

minister the rules apply to. liverpool and the surrounding area will face the shutdown with all pubs and bars. mixing between high schools boris johnson claims the new measures are actually a simplification of the previous. we must act to save lives boucle approach has inevitably produced different sets of rules in different parts of the country that are now complex to understand and to enforce just as we simplified our national rose with the rule of 6 we will now simplify and standardise our local news by introducing a 3 tiered system of local coded alert levels in england i set it medium high and very broad those in government themselves have been caught out either not understanding the rules or even breaking them and so he's trying to introduce a small according to him simplified version which includes social t

a system which would see anything from the current rules that are in place no more than 6 people being allowed to gather at any one time pubs and restaurants being closed at 10 pm all the way through to those types of hospitality ventures being closed all together now as part of that's of course there have been complaints that these measures especially the tough ones could spell the death knell for a number of industries in the economy and so the government announcing that they will be supporting people's wages and asked not as much as they were before previously the so-called follow system would have seen up to 80 percent of people's wages or up to 2 and a half 1000 pounds paid for by the government if people weren't able to work now that's been reduced to 67 percent or around $2100.00 pounds and so the government tried to support people but there are some who said that these measures will impact in particular the north of england and some officials including the mayor of

manchester which is in the north of england and the burnham coming out and saying that enough is enough i will not anymore perhaps with the situation where they impose things on the north of england that will cause real damage to people's lives now it's not just the politicians who are unhappy either there are many amongst the public who say that in addition to the kind of pressures that it is. putting on people's mental health on people social stability it's also causing great damage to people's economies in particular small business owners i've got several days yesterday that probably wasn't good to people our way that we'll never know whether when we go and that thank god if they have to live it's the government's decisions now that will determine whether a wave of unemployment turns into a surge in poverty debts and hardship now we are seeing a number of legal challenges being posted up against the government's measures a group of nightclub and publishing is in the north west of england saying that they're going to take legal action and demand the government show scientific truth

for some of the measures that they are implementing while a group of m.p.'s have said that they will be taking legal action as a result of some of the contracts that have been given out up to 3000000000 pounds worth of contracts that were awarded some say with buyers to those with ties to the government and so the government they're being accused of perhaps nepotism and corruption not just in how they spend their money but of course also being accused of not following the science when it comes to how they implement these rules. europe has sanctions on its mind as we were ports and 90 seconds and counting stay with us. join me every 1st week on the alex simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

you can have capitalism without capital and you can't have tapped at all without giving people an interest rate to incentivize them to save. and the reason you do that is that if there is a downturn like. then there's plenty of seed stock there's plenty of capital in your capital system to smooth it out but if you deface the currency and you interest rates are 0 and there's no incentive to say therefore there's no capital then you don't have to apples any more you have a club talk or see run by central banks the worse it gets the more they pay themselves.

1000 minutes past 1 am here in moscow welcome back the european union has backed imposing a new round of sanctions on russian officials over the alexina valmy case it couldn't clued troubled asset freezes on that involves the alleged poisoning of the opposition figure our europe correspondent peter all over tells us more. the sanctions measures were put forward jointly by france and germany the legal necessities will need to be drawn up before they can come into full force and we're expecting them to be announced in e.u. council meeting that's a meeting of the heads of government in state of the e.u. member states on thursday and friday of this week what we can expect from the sanctions though is that they will take the form of asset freezes and travel bans it's being reported that 9 members of russia's security services may be the

targets of the sanctions the german foreign minister announcing them had this to say we have initiated sanctions against individuals whom we believe to be partly responsible for this violation of international law it is important that the e.u. shows unity in such a serious crime we did today well germany and france where the 2 member states that put forward these berlin and paris say that russia has not given adequate answers as to what happened to alexei navalny well from moscow's point of view that they've asked germany to provide moscow with the evidence that shows that alexei navalny was poisoned with a nerve agent 4 times but that request has fallen on deaf ears in fact the russian foreign minister not happy at all with the way that moscow is being treated in this situation there were protests in rooms of the euro we are asking the o.p.c. doubly to explain their findings were the results of this probe they tell us the

request was from germany so it's a german case and you should ask germany so we ask germany and we get the same old story for requests from our prosecutor general's office have been sent in accordance with the european convention on me to assistance in criminal matters under this convention all requests must receive an answer instead we hear excuses or absurd statements the russians should investigate these crimes on its own we cannot investigate the case. when we have no facts so where does this leave russia's relationship with the european union well ultimately not particularly great on monday we heard from alexander schellenberg the austrian foreign minister vienna had being traditionally a very close ally of moscow within the european union however the austrian foreign minister saying that there could be no return to business as usual however we did hear from your barrell as well the e.u. high representative for foreign affairs basically the e.u.

foreign minister if there ever was to be one he said that the relationship between moscow and brussels went deeper than anything that had to do with alexei navalny that russia's cooperation was needed particularly when it came to situations like the ongoing crisis in the got a card about russia as one of the. sort of demeans group to deal with is the fight in northern iraq and i watch. places that mcconnell has to toggle is the president we want to work the differing would mean group you know the to look for a ceasefire you know would look at who haitian we're not going to stop doing that to do to live up out of these tensions alexina valley is still recovering here in berlin he took a lot of flight from siberia to moscow back on the 20th of august he was brought here to berlin was in they induced coma for a couple of weeks he was roused from mats and discharged from hospital the last

month and continues to recover but as he's getting better it would seem that there's still plenty of ramifications from whatever happened to him to come with relations to how that relationship between moscow and brussels is going to go from here on out. almost a quarter of americans now say they don't have enough money to see themselves through the next 3 weeks and that's not just in the u.s. where the pandemic has seemingly widened the gap between rich and poor 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 the most while 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 a coincidence 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 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 $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 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 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. how capitalism handles a pandemic you can see a disproportionate impact low income workers have been laid off or 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 that is in fact the cause of this growing poverty for which there is no excuse up possible and that is our lot for this news are but i do recommend sticking around as more great programs get their start in your moments live from moscow this is 24 seventh's r t. n l so it's seemed wrong. but all rolled just don't call. me old yet to see her out of disdain. and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

and work on the cease fire negotiations in moscow on the issue of the border. is a war. and right. industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women cells on the street many of them under-age. police reveal a taste of their daily challenge if you're going to exploit for a trial here in los angeles we're going to. see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight 6 trade.
