as a political ally. with someone that you know. the 4th day of a. between all media and both sides accusing each other violating the cease fire. prosecutor general's office opens a criminal case into international terrorism and amid reports of foreign fighters in the disputed nagorno-karabakh region we hear from senior figures from both sides of the conflict. the one that brought. islamic militants. it was a drug we don't need any finder. on our soil because we have stronger. with the 2nd wave of the corona virus pandemic taking its toll on health care systems around the world a new survey finds

a large number of nurses in france are ready to quit. the world health organization says that lock downs are not the best way to fight 19 as they call significant collateral damage particularly among poor populations. to a primary control make it not just one consequence of. making poor people. thanks for joining us here on our team tonight. the. 4th day as armenia and azerbaijan again accuse each other of violating the trees made a series of shelling attacks. saturday though saw the 2 nations which border asia and europe agree to lay down their weapons to exchange prisoners and those killed

in the fighting meanwhile nearly 700 unexploded munitions have been found in the disputed place the armenian prime minister is warned of a potential humanitarian catastrophe. is there a government for its part reported several of its own regions have been shelled back you also accuses armenia of bombarding the 2nd largest city in the country killing at least 10 people and injuring dozens more this is the scene reportedly showing the aftermath of that attack denies the claims that care about conflict stretches back more than 3 decades although the region is populated mainly by ethnic armenians it is legally part of azerbaijan the armenian prosecutor general's office has opened a criminal case into international terrorism on the basis of information that there are foreign mercenaries taking part in the conflict our correspondent with the armenian president armand sarkisyan in an exclusive interview for visual later today for now here's a preview. in and of course turkey is the one that brought. the islamic

militants and terrorists in was a by john of course as you were usual turkey was doing the you were you need an excuse why on earth you were doing that one of the excuses why there is are i think brothers well doesn't work in the new world because your ethnic rather is go up to central asia mongolia to the north of china are you are you are you ready to into if you were any problem that you are at think rogers will get there may be yes use if i looked at modern turkey i mean 360 degrees to turkey has problems with the problems in egypt it is involved in lead via oil is it that they grow others or something else it's a different story that's one second they were speaking about to kick a fighter is absolute nonsense 3rd one there was speaking about the pipelines that were running from baku to to tbilisi as an oil pipeline it's what i'm said

referring to this because. the motivation was that armenians world will hit them and we're here to protect them and story where is the logic if i mean it had to hit that pipeline and they should have hit that 20 years ago. 20 years ago the when they were starting to build the body plan a popple a couple of shellings would stop the pipelines being built armies didn't do that and they didn't do that more than 20 years no shelling no one bullet was fired army is allowed there are millions allowed budge on to build the pipelines to sell their oil and gas and not only theirs but from spin and also from from the central asia make billions of dollars and they use that billions of dollars in buying billions of dollars over with armament and they use that against gordon a cut above and that brings to to a conclusion billions of dollars so that's money and turkish supports bombing

interfere support has created and with money enter your support you can come over any more the raid air defense system that they're going to cut above had earlier i spoke with leyla i'm delighted that he's the spokesperson for the azerbaijani ministry of foreign affairs she told me he has a view of turkish involvement in the dispute. at this information and on occasions about tookie support was a while john let me also make it clear that yes turkey and azerbaijan we have a good cooperation in various fields including the military spheres this is something that is of i just had with the other countries as well but it doesn't mean that to see supporters of the general that wants now 1st of all to be support is more also for us we have been witnessing this of course all the time as current as well but hardly johnny army fight against the illegal predator of the army of armenia on our own soil ameena claims that his fight to

jets been involved supporting as a bombshell on what's your response to the paper news that our media has been spreading even before the escalation in the region well if you ask me the question why 1st of all we don't need any fighter and militias on our soil because we have like strong and professional army which is able and capable to defend its own integrity when it does not like it and i for this it's kind of an uneasy situation because of the underlying problems what about that and allowing the people of the disputed region to decide their own future what about the claims for independence that would make up our surroundings because raise our children of azerbaijan this is the part of the international recognized centuries of us that let's not 2nd about the armenians living in these groups and their rights to represent a nation of sufism nations does not mean that procession separate their nations does not mean independence so what we say of course we can grasp of that of

a nation with being that is its own integrity was it was young if every group of people would declare with claim that they have the right nation can you imagine what kind of russia will have what do you see russia's role in peace efforts between us about john in armenia russia is a big player of course there russia's role as a many a considerable. i also have been. on the side of the general. peaceful settlement. but unfortunately we have to say that they're moving out of the. cease fire ignoring the. united nations security council resolutions as well as the new worries the other international. 6 organizations and we want to see more active role of russia in the. resolution to the conflict. health care systems across europe are being pushed to the brink with record covert

$1000.00 infection rates racking up across the continent in france medics fear that they're not as well but bird as they were during the pandemics 1st wave. and ones that we don't have any nurses back in february march we had an enormous amount of volunteers a 2nd serious point is that we had help from other regions in march and april to today those regions are all in the red zone with therefore not able to receive that same assistance so we have beds for additional covert 19 patients but we don't have any staff to manage them. and a new survey seems to confirm that it found that the pandemic taking its toll so that many medical workers actually want out of the profession with each other dubiously picks up the story. as the cause they make rears its ugly head the 1st sowing of real strain was on hospitals downs were imposed people wanted to show their appreciation and so started the class.

now is the pressure on hospitals and stuff again all the clucking in the world isn't enough to boost the morale of traumatised medical staff and the survey has found that more than a hole for nurses is suffering. and many say they are ready to quit. conducted by the national order of nurses 57 percent of respondents said they were exhausted all 37 percent said the covert crisis had made them want to change jobs. this summer saw wave of layoffs and it became clear that the government will continue reducing hospital beds the thing is the government shot health workers in the back by refusing to admit that 31000 staff were infected with over 19 due to

the lack of masks and medical rows many young nurses considered quitting the thought to themselves i won't work amid a staff shortage on a lower wage in terrible conditions risking the lives of patients i'd rather leave while i still can and many other moved abroad for example to switzerland or luxembourg where the wages for nurses a double worthy opened up their own practice where they themselves determine how much they work and get paid. it comes as the french prime minister issued this warning. the french thought too quickly that this virus was gone the reality of the 2nd wave is here they could be no more slackening. isn't the only country facing problems with a medical right swallow the u.k. prime minister was raising about the fantastic any chests we will because our n.h.s. is the beating heart of this country it is the best of this country it is our.

it is powered by love. so under the course they were thinking of throwing in the towel last month more than 2 thirds who responded to a survey said they planned to quit the n.h.s. because of how close it had been term goals many said they would this illusion and exhausted but there were other reasons. 65 percent said the lack of personal protective equipment was a factor while 54 percent cited the inability to speak out. when we are left to work without the necessary equipment with patients who do not have covert 19 we could be the ones passing the infection to them for example university hospital centers knowingly told staff who tested positive it's nothing serious continue working when employees throughout france are asked to avoid any contact with people for at least 7 days at the same time nurses are told nope

nothing serious continue no we disagree it contradicts our professional ethics because we are in danger in patients we will not put up with this when nurses are told to do more work extra hours work during the weekends exhausts them and exhaustion leads to mistakes at work we don't want just because of fatigue because our management is exploiting us the. medical staff have been vocal about their demands throughout this pandemic and while in some countries governments have put their hands in their pockets the bump up pay packets it's not nearly enough protests demanding more funding for health care and a better working conditions have sprung up across the continent thanks and praise from medical staff who have worked throughout the pandemic is always going to be welcome but medics want to remind people and a government that they owe no more for

a cause and do less things turn the right. european countries could see a whole sea of doctors nurses technicians and many more leaving the service. so let's see what's going on paris. france is among the countries that is seeing higher infection rates than in the spring along with the u.k. it's introducing new lockdown measures but the world health organization is now warning leaders against using such lockdowns as the primary control method against the spread of covert 19. stop using lockdown as your primary control method lockdowns just one consequence that humans never. belittle and that is making poor people off a lot for. the global economy as a whole has certainly felt the impact of lockdowns with one recent forecasts suggesting it will contract by 5 percent in 2021st despite governments together stumping up trillions of dollars to protect jobs and markets and some analysts say

that the world could enter its worst recession since the great depression rick sanchez from r.t. america discussed the pros and cons of lockdowns with his guests. these lock downs extended lock downs are ridiculous and are causing such economic and mental and health devastation at some point we have to have a conversation about how do we protect the most vulnerable but we've got to get back to work these lockdowns are devastating to the working class and i would argue that those that are are going for extended lock downs are anti working class i got your point but here's the other point here other countries that have been able to deal with this effectively vietnam south korea china new zealand some of them knocked it out in like weeks to a month and they didn't do it with a lockdown they did it with an entire list a bevy of things including testing immediate testing knowing who are the people who are isolating them i mean that is how it would currently disease right.

you know i agree 100 percent they did it with the leadership structure they leaned in on the science they did it with a leadership structure and a government that understood what 1000 was and what's up with the right it was they did it by not acting like oh but 19 was a hoax at the end of the day we do have countries that have far exceeded the level of success when it comes to preventing individuals from contracting cope at 19 and i think that those are areas that we need to look towards on in terms of the nets that they use but in each one that you just named they had government leadership that follow and acknowledge the fact that $1000.00 was a threat and developed a plan from day one whereas in america we had a president who completely ignored the threat and decided to keep going as if it would not affect us and acted as though we were somehow insulated because we're the united states and we have american blood running through our banks and i would argue if you didn't have these extended lock downs in california and new york that average would be even lower and you're seeing the g.d.p. come roaring back i will point out this i think the shame of it all in the spring is that trump listen too much to barracks and with faulty models including the

marine model out of washington state if you hadn't and followed his instincts i think we'd be in a much better place if they were. a lot of people who still hosted house parties and other things i'm from chicago originally i know chicago shut down lockdown for a while yet their cases steadily went up but in large part that was because of basic human behavior and people not following the social distancing guidelines so i think that taking it construct with the other things that we've heard from organizations like the c.d.c. it's very important that we follow all of those things and not look to one as the magic bullet to ensure that people are healthy and say. she will stand she's the former presidents did or roosevelt and abraham lincoln the been toppled in portland and they brought some vandalism across the city last born our story under this after the break.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm sure business i'll see you then.

come back pharmaceutical company johnson and johnson says it is pausing the advanced clinical trial of its experimental coronavirus vaccine after an unexplained illness in one of its volunteers we have temporarily paused for the dosing in all our covert $1000.00 vaccine candidate clinical trials due to an unexplained illness in a study participants adverse events illnesses accidents etc even those that are serious are expected part of any clinical study especially large studies the johnson and johnson vaccine is one of 6 anti covert drugs being tested in america it's considered one of the most advanced incidentally phase 3 this is the 2nd time

trial trials of a possible covert vaccine have been halted testing of the job developed by astra zeneca an oxford university was stopped when a volunteer in the u.k. showed an adverse reaction. from. the us city of portland as seen violence or vandalism with statues that toppled as people demonstrated on indigenous peoples day which is replace the federal columbus day holiday in several states. 2 statues of 4 presidents theodore roosevelt and abraham lincoln were pulled down the entrance to the oregon historical society was blocked 3 people have been arrested the president on a trump had this to say about their mess to put these animals in jail now the radical left only knows how to take advantage of very dumb leadership fools this is biden law in order to earlier on we spoke with political activist anthony rogers

right and social justice journalist and then county they explained why some people object to certain statues in america. columbus day is a celebration of white male mediocrity this is a person who got lost and got very very lucky you don't see for instance swastikas in germany and for all intents and purposes hitler did things for germany that were beneficial to the germans but were so disgusting in the process that those symbols have been taken down in germany where they've had this true wreck truth and reconciliation process i just don't think that we can exercise this from an english centric lens a referring to it's a way of our history now we might have all been combined or impacted in some sense but we were not impacted in the same way and this goes back to that indigenous idea of free prior and informed consent they were not informed and they did not give consent for these symbols of hate that have been literally etched in stone and

something that was sacred to them that can't continue to happen and in some cases yes many of the statues may have to come down i didn't know lincoln had ordered the lynching of the 38 per store people who were trying to protect their families and this is an opportunity to understand yes lincoln is. revered in america for so many values that we hope to aspire to and yet we never really tell the story of what happened to 1st native people in america and what's happening to them today and that was brought out in that. you have been union has banks imposing a new round of sanctions on russian officials over the election of on the case this could be a correspondent made to oliver has a 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 and 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 or 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 of modern day 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 state bar l. 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 alexina valmy that russia's cooperation was needed particularly when it came to situations like the ongoing crisis in the got a kind of back russia is one of the co-chairs sort of demeans group to deal with is the fight in northern iraq and i wash. the places that mcconnell has to toggle is the president we want to work the differing would mean screw up 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 the top 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. for now by thomas ollie who's a member of germany's left party good afternoon to you. as far as i'm aware there's been no probe or trial into what happened to the legs in a valley as yet given that why does the seem so keen to push ahead with sanctions. that's a good question and the trial in this case could only be the russian federation.

the russian prosecutors so 1st of all jodi each of providing evidence. prosecutors sold 8 books and best shot people related to all of there but this is not the age of the work that your union wants and this doesn't seem to be or germany wants them or interest. is ations aghast that if you look at the case seemed to be quite baseless. if there was a crime in the may have been it would appear that it would have occurred on russian territory to dishnet its america these they takes on the role of will police seems like it's the doing it here but why do they feel that they can take that role. they have. really the american authorities in the run up to the us election and with all the art of arts actions that ask your. boss to do

i think this is something that the european and the german each state is doing to intend to. stop loss through jus from happening and with a jump up election overwhelmingly in favor of closer cooperation with russia need some kind of. action in order to have an influence on the relations while yet at the chart elections germany other european states as well as the international chemical weapons watchdog. apparently responded to russia's requests for information as to why they have the position they have the cooperation why would these organizations take the position why not just cooperate. there's a very good question because russia's free press. article 19 of the charter w.

had to be it responded to by the german authorities this is serious matter and germany is the last to use of chemical weapons so all the shots are off though because e.w. comes to play and those requests for clarification i'm not responded to it by germany then the russian federation is fully within its rights to actually get my hands on the you see w. is suspect german laboratories without cooperation from from the german scientists something that russia could do it would of course escalate. with non-cooperation johnnie's sides they would be fully justified to do so and we've got germany's foreign minister who was was just banal of our own quantity so well we have to ask ourselves whether this madness the suffering from delusions. coerced quality because of the way from tarsus to the russian federation is just

you know appropriate if you are a sack a job he has not provided a sample to our prosecutors and this may have been thomas oliver germany's left partition thank you thank you and that wraps it up for this news out like so much because i don't for tuning in i hope you stay with us and how often are.

as the election approaches we feel it's necessary to ask a very simple though important question why do most potential voters describe themselves as independent or not affiliated with the political party on top of this poll after poll reveals voters want more choices institute party system limiting or more. democracy. the tank by at the lot is a unique competition between.
