7:03 pm
by johnny control of course the armenian forces there 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 hydro to this part of town at least this part of town is under the control of the armenian forces hope the forces of nagorno-karabakh. his shelling the city right now this is the least safest place of all of the region. because. 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
7:04 pm
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 drug 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 honor it's a matter of integrity for both were going here 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 corner karabakh see a car about conflict stretches back more than 3 decades although the region is legally part of azerbaijan it's populated mainly by ethnic armenians broke away back in the 1990 s. after a lengthy war one of our by john's largest cities ganja was also bombarded in the early hours of sunday who says 9 people were killed and more than 30 injured we
7:05 pm
spoke to a journalist in azerbaijan. the news of. ganja caused the fury and outrage is reaction among azerbaijanis has been the 2nd consecutive missile attack on the 2nd biggest city of the country with a population of half a 1000000 but this time 9 people were killed and more than 30 people were injured including the reaction among others by john has varied from cautious to radical the officials of the beneficial is already paid a visit to the scene be 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 crime and he warned i mean years to give them. the answer. and this is the scene in ganja reportedly showing the
7:06 pm
aftermath of that bombing attack the armenian president has claimed azerbaijan was the 1st to break the cease fire our men started to see and spoke exclusively to our t.v. his full interview will air later this tuesday here's a preview. 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 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 information from my government from ministry of defense and for foreign minister and foreign minister i have spoken about that already and it's definitely not i mean it has filled it that's number one number 2 when you were
7:07 pm
speaking about breaking the cease fire it it was unfortunately immediately after the cease fire was announced 12 foot log step on i.q. at the capital c.t.o. 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 fortunately 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 bacon a mechanism for verification who is breaking the ceasefire i mean these are many ways of doing that internationally using technology but it should be put in place
7:08 pm
because until the cease fire is not established fully the humanitarian side of this says fire will not be. known and either of sides will be able to use that as a badge on has denied violating the cease fire we spoke to former azerbaijani diplomat elnora alyosha he said that his country is merely claiming back its own land. i don't think that the you will find any citizen among the un member states which will not support it as to its own territorial integrity we have to again i say that this is he a key issue here we have to understand that the other by john has been admitted to the u n and the specific visiting it at that it appears and we don't want any other countries than it is where it shall be made much clear that we had marked cleaning 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
7:09 pm
security council resolution very much clear so i think that there are there are messages quote sometimes cottons going wrong direction as it was on my just fighting to look after him but it which is not the case as in my job is claiming back to control what legally belongs to eat it we have to make it clear and it has been clear for the last 30 years that we that we don't target any other meaning who lieschen iranians have traditional leave on us out of my genocidal and we are looking for it peaceful coexistence of the 2 communities in the world incredible that was at the short position of azerbaijan over the last 'd 30 years and we have a teacher rita destroyed many times and we have done a practical steps in that direction to show our city it's definitely would believe that iranians and a lot of my genesis and leave to get. covered 1000 infections have been setting grim records here in russia with daily cases now over 13000 in the last 2 days that's 2000 more than during the initial peak back in may moscow's mayor has urged

7:14 pm
a simplification of the previous system. you 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 conveyed 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 it's 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
7:15 pm
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 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
7:16 pm
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 think several days of this is that you know he was good to people our way that we'll never know whether when we can have a car 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 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 proof 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
7:17 pm
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 more news after a short break this is art international stay with us. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport i'm sure i'll see you then. you have capitalism without capital and you can't have top at all without giving people an interest rate to incentivize them to save. and the reason you do that
7:18 pm
is that if there is a downturn like. 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 anymore you have a club talk or see by central banks the worse it gets the more they pay themselves . welcome back who says auntie international now the european union has backed imposing a new round of sanctions on russian officials over the election of ali case it
7:19 pm
could include travel bans and asset freezes and involves the alleged poisoning the opposition figure our europe correspondent peter oliver has 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 been reported 9 members of russia's security services may be the targets of the sanctions the german foreign minister announcing them had this to say that 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 were the 2 member states that
7:20 pm
put forward these berlin in paris say that russia has not given adequate answers as to what happened to alexei novelli 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 the situation. room rooms of the u. 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 each of the systems and criminal matters under this convention all requests must receive an answer instead we hear excuses
7:21 pm
absurd statements the russia 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 co-chairs sort of demeans group to deal with is
7:22 pm
the fight in northern iraq and i wish. president mcconnell has to toggle is the president we want to work with differing would mean group you know the to look for a ceasefire you know to look at who haitian we're not going to stop doing that to do to the number 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 math 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
7:23 pm
through the next 3 weeks and it's not just in the u.s. where the pandemic can seemingly widen the gap between the rich and the poor has done a quarter comments. 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 or 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 is good even richer will mean 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
7:24 pm
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 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
7:25 pm
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 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 up possible that does it for me this how back in about say 34 minutes with another full look at.
7:26 pm

7:28 pm
