struggling to hold on to its ceasefire the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan only sparing moments of reports from the area. that is the latest hot spot for showing attacks. were. under the control. of the forces of. shelling the city right now armenia is accused of bombing and azerbaijani city outside the immediate conflict zone leaving 9 dead and dozens injured we here. in an exclusive interview with the armenian president.

who started this war that was the. leader of. russia's corona virus vaccine is poised to complete the final stage of tests our correspondent is among the volunteers taking part. in the british prime minister rolls a complex new set of rules to counter. the north of england but there is growing public frustration over the government's handling of the crisis. get people out a way. that will never know when they when. they. are broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us right now the cease fire 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 disputed not go to. these pictures show the aftermath of a 2 week bombardment then in the early hours on saturday baku and you have an agreed to a pause in the fighting with russia's mediation that was to allow for an exchange of prisoners and war dead however over the weekend both sides accused each other of the violations of the south of the disputed region has seen some of the worst fighting since the conflict started on sunday despite the suppose a truce in the city of drouet was shelled our correspondent reports from there bright now we're getting closer to the town of it's on the southern front and it is probably the heaviest contested region in all of nagorno-karabakh think is even before the cease fire was announced the president over there by john the family of 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 are 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 hydro to this part of town at least this part of town is under the control of the armenian forces of the forces of nagorno-karabakh. his shelling the city right now this is the least safest place of all of the region. 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 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 good here military jets flying above us and bombing the mountains next to the city of patrols so there's that for the cease fire for now i guess down of reporting from the corner karabakh see a car about conflict stretches back more than 3 decades although the region is legally part of azerbaijan it is populated mainly by ethnic armenians broke way back in the 1990 s. after a lengthy war one of us about john's largest cities ganja was also bombarded in the early hours of sunday baku says 9 people were killed and more than 30 injured we 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 the population of half a 1000000 but this time 9 people were killed and more than 30 people were injured including the reaction among other wedges very. cautious too 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 war crimes and he warned i mean years to give them. and this is the scene and gunja reportedly showing the aftermath of that bombing attack the armenian president has claimed azerbaijan was 1st to break

the cease fire our men. spoke exclusively to r.t. his full interview will air later tuesday here's a preview. so are there violations on the part of armenia and if there are why is it happening that there are violations and as far as i understand it one violet the other one nasser 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. current journos of a bug john cleary for a mission from my government from ministry of defense and for foreign minister and for a minister i have spoken about that already that it's definitely not not 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

12th log step and i hear the capital city of of the. republic was shelled 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-karabakh 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 bacon a mechanism over verification who is breaking the ceasefire 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 this

says fire will not be. neither of sides will be able to use that azerbaijan has denied violating the cease fire we spoke to former azerbaijani diplomat eleanor he says 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 has to get its own territorial integrity we have to get i think that this is he 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 we have it shall be made much clear that we had more 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 security council resolution was very much clear so i think that there are there are messages quite sometimes got was going wrong direction as it was on my jumps

fighting is on the government which is not the case wasn't 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 we don't target any i mean you lieschen iranians have traditional leave on of them by genocidal and we are looking for a peaceful coexistence of the 2 communities in the world in accra that was at the short position of azerbaijan over the last 30 years and we have a teacher rita destroyed many times and we have done in a practical steps in that direction to show our city it's definitely we believe that i mean in 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 is 2000 more than during the initial peak back in may i ask as mary has urged residents to remain cautious there will surely be

a vaccine the county's mass vaccination in a couple of months and the strong 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 suspected being nearby. in response to the spike new measures have been introduced in the russian capital cheaper travel for students and the elderly has been stopped to encourage them to stay at home while companies are required to have at least 30 percent of office staff work from home but there is also cause for optimism russia's covert vaccine is set to complete final stage trials the sputnik v. job has already been registered in russia it was developed by scientists at moscow's institute $55000.00 volunteers are taking part in the 3rd phase of testing among them artes or international. 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 says cobbett 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 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 called 90 task of blood pressure also general level and today we do some tests and again it could be vaccine by the way divided the world of those criticizing the research too little evidence too fast and those phrasing rushes for if i'm going to get vaccines right here. ok i hear. i need to relax my groove. who. thought it was specially after the 1st show i was.

i have been monitored by doctors how they happy calling me and you need media calls you know and after 2 days shaw it 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 they were going to wear the vaccine is made has finally found a rush is expected to be able to produce up to $6000000.00 doses monthly bring in russia close to her even unity finally refinish now party from moscow now as there are. millions of u.k. citizens are about to be placed under partial lockdown under crowd a virus containment plans unveiled by the british prime minister the rules apply to angle and end a very by region liverpool and the surrounding area will face the broadest shut down with all pubs and bars close to and a ban on mixing between households boris johnson claims that the new measures are

actually a simplification of the previous system he 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 rooms with the rule of 6 we were most of the fire in standardised our local news by introducing a 3 tiered system of local coded alert levels in england i set it medium high. throw those in government themselves you've been caught so you're not understanding the rules or even breaking them and so he's trying to introduce more according to simplified version which he could sochi a system which would see anything from the current rules that are in place no longer. and 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 and i was part of that 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 photosystem 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 burden of 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 this 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 d.v.d.'s is that i was good to be able our way was i have an hour there when we can have a god 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 in parliament is in the north west of england saying that they're going to take 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 worth of contracts that awarded some say with bias to those with ties to the

government and so the government now being accused of having 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 for her into . join me every thursday 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. 6 geysers financial survival guide. when customers go by you are just a place. to now well reduce some lower. that's undercutting

but what's good for food market is not good for the global economy. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. the day or thinks. we dare to ask. them back this is our team international now the european union has backed imposing a new round of sanctions on russian officials over the election of all the case it could include travel bans and asset freezes and involves the alleged poisoning of

the opposition figure our europe correspondent peter oliver has story. 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 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 today well germany and france were the 2 member states that 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 mutual assistance in criminal matters under this convention all requests must receive an answer instead we hear excuses

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 soledad means 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 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 political about 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 that now say that they don't have enough money to see

themselves through the next 3 weeks it's not just in the u.s. where the pandemic has seemingly widened the gap between rich and poor as are used on 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 or contribute a great deal more in taxes to support vital 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 how their own 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 is 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 gotten 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 115000000 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. well 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 but there's a for me this i'll be back in 34 minutes with a look at your headlines this is art international stay with us.

it's an amazing country with or so many friends in russia and i'm very excited to be here. i love that idea i think i can do that. every night i make a lot of money with the name of millions and hundreds of me. and. here's a nice well there's a nice a great wall and nobody feels a lot better than me believe and i'll build a very inexpensive like

a great great wall. and just in case you're worried about who's going to pay for it mexico will pay for . it and it will see what happens who knows i always say who knows what will seattle feel it will be success. is your media a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation full community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the

depths. for a mate in the shallowness. does it say i don't know about that getting this done on the. economy i want to let you know when i get why did i do that how lucky. we hope to be but there are here are some friends that the us are still stuck at the so beautiful thing to do something to see. it sure. they've had

it out that the simple dollar back i wasn't going and i was like well with someone that you know but that. i. am greetings and sal you take should. all right just when you thought the 2020 reality 6 show series couldn't pack any more twists and turns in steps this season's big bad i'm talking of course colbert 19 to slap the united states president congressional republicans and viewers like us right upside the head i mean i am. and all the fallout from the brand name in chief's bout with covert is still yet to be determined the government run health care currently nursing our president and his covert stricken administration has apparently been bang on with

even the president tweeting doctors nurses and all at the great walter reed medical center and others from likewise credible incredible institutions who have joined them are amazing tremendous progress has been made over the last 6 months and fighting it this pledge with their help i am feeling well. which is rather larry it's coming from a man whose party in political platform states on equivocally the government run health care is about as diabolical as naked cactus climbing or as economist and former us secretary of labor robert rush tweets show don't tell the republicans but at walter reed they have socialized medicine oh my gosh with the donald and his associates are the only flag waving mega capitalists who don't seem to have a problem feeding from the public trough when times get tough huff post is reporting that at least 5 companies with histories of violating environmental rules .
