focalize agencies lockdowns are not the best way to fight covert 19 as they cause significant collateral damage particularly among poor populations don't use a lockdown as your primary control method knockdowns just one consequence that you must never ever belittle and that is making poor people or. a very warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with me carrying. the faltering ceasefire in nagorno-karabakh has entered its 4th day of armenia and azerbaijan again accuse each other of violating the truce amid the series of shelling attacks since a day those are the 2 nations which border asia and europe agree to lay down their weapons to exchanged. prisoners and those killed in the fighting meanwhile nearly

$700.00 unexploded munitions have been found in the disputed enclave and the armenian prime minister has warned of a potential humanitarian catastrophe. is there a government for its part reported several of its own regions had been shelled barcoo also accuses our media of bombarding the 2nd largest city in the country killing at least 10 people and injuring dozens and this is the scene reportedly showing the aftermath of that attack year of and denies the claims we care about conflicts stretches back more than 3 decades although the region is populated mainly by ethnic armenians it's legally part of as a by jan. the armenian prosecutor general's office has opened a criminal case into suspected international terrorism on the basis of information that there are foreign mercenaries taking part in the conflict our correspondent spoke with the armenian president armand sarkisyan in an exclusive interview the

full version will air later this hour here's a preview. in and of course turkey is the one that brought. islamic militants and terrorists in to azerbaijan 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 maybe yes you see if i look at modern turkey i mean 360 degrees to you that turkey has problems with the problems in egypt it is involved in lead via well is it that nick brothers 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

are running from baku to to the b.b.c. as an oil pipeline it's why i'm said referring to this because. the motivation was that our media world will heed them and we're here to protect them. story where's the logic if i mean it had to hit that pipe they should have hit that 20 years ago 20 years ago that when they were starting to build the body plant a pop of 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 and 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 sweden and also from from the central asia make billions of dollars and use that billions of dollars and buying billions of dollars of worth of armament and then use that against al gore to cut

a buck and that brings 2 to a conclusion billions of dollars so that's money and turkish supports bombing and turns your support has created and with money into your support you can come over any more the red air defense system that they're going to cut off had earlier my colleague neil harvey spoke to layla at the lie about the spokes person of the azerbaijani ministry of foreign affairs as she told us the as airy stance on take a shit involvement in the dispute. there at this information and on occasions about turkey support was why 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 has a budget had with the other countries as well but it doesn't mean that to see support of the budget on that last route 1st of all get the support is more also for us we have been witnessing this before all the time and currently as well but

hardly johnny army fight against the illegal presence of the army of armenia on our own soil amina claims that his fighter jets a been involved supporting as a body show on what's your response to that this is a commute that army 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 side because we have large 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 futures what about the claims for independence and i would make up our surroundings because raise our children who supposedly just this is a part of the international recognized centuries of us of which i'm 2nd about the armenians living in this group and their rights representation of sufism nations

does not mean that for secession census emanations does not mean independence so what we say of course we can grasp of that of a nation with being that has its own integrity was it was young if every group of people would declare with claim that they have their life processes and 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 mitigating its considerable. i also have been between the sides between the general to find a peaceful settlement. but unfortunately we have to say that they're moving out. cease fire ignoring the demands. of united nations security council resolutions as well as the numerous 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 19 infection rates clocking up across the continent in france medics fear they're not as well prepared as they were during the pandemics 1st way. and. we don't have any nurses back in february march we had an enormous amount of volunteers 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 kovac 19 patients but we don't have any staff to manage them. and a new survey has confirmed exactly that it was found that with the pandemic taking its toll many medical workers want out of the profession are to show the skip except the story. as the cause a pandemic rears its ugly head the 1st sign of real strain was on the hospital's

downs were imposed people wanted to show their appreciation and so started the nightly class ok. now is the pressure on hospitals and stuff and getting all the clucking in the world isn't enough to boost the morale of traumatised medical staff and me serving his bearing that more than a whole for nurses is suffering burnout and many say they are ready to quit it's. 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 a 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 and double worthy opens 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 she quickly that this virus was gone the reality of the 2nd wave is here they could be no more slackening. is in the country facing problems with a medical right 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 caution they were thinking of throwing in the towel last month more than 2 thirds she 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 a lack of personal protective equipment was a factor while 54 percent cited their inability to speak out. when we are left to work without the necessary equipment with patients who do not have covered one scene 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 of work we don't want just because of fatigue because our management is exploiting us. 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 for 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. soon european countries could see a whole sea of doctors nurses technicians and many more leaving the service but it solid ati paris. france is among the countries that is seeing higher infection rates than it in spring along with the u.k. is introducing new lockdown measures but the world health organization is now warning leaders against using lockdowns as the primary control method against the spread of coded 19 don't use a lockdown as your primary control method lockdowns just one consequence that you can never ever belittle and that is making poor people a lot poorer well the global economy as a whole has certainly felt the impact of lockdowns with the recent forecasts

suggesting it will contract by 5 percent in 2020 that despite governments together standing up trillions of dollars to protect jobs and markets some analysts say the world could enter its worst recession since the great depression rick sanchez from r.t. america discuss 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 doing for extended lockdowns 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. 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 sick isolating them i mean that is how you apparently this disease right. no 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 kobe 1000 was and what type of a threat it was they did it by not acting like robot 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 covert 19 and i think that those are areas that we need to look towards in terms of the methods that they used but in each one that you just named they had government leadership that follow and acknowledge the fact that covert $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 it's like 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 that trump listened too much to parks and fogey 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 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 in 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 safe. to most such is the former president theodore roosevelt and a brown link him with toppled in portland that made riots there and vandalism across the u.s. a state run backs and other stories coming up after this very show break stay with

us. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. the world is driven by dream shaped by frank person.

thinks. we dare to ask. a. couple of those silly law about that get a list of all the i'll just. keep on going to one because i want to quiet while you know who the hell out of state. clearly hope will be but they were here are awesome friends so that the us are still slow but the

soul hoping to do something this year. so yeah the charge. yeah there was an article about the column i was there with them on the back of the book at that. welcome back pharmaceutical company johnson and johnson says is pausing the advanced clinical trial of 8th experimental coronavirus vaccine bounce after an unexplained illness in one of the volunteers. we have temporarily paused for the dosing in all our covert 19 vaccine candidate clinical trials due to an unexplained illness in the study participants adverse events illnesses accidents etc even those

that are serious are expected part of any clinical study especially large studies. but johnson and johnson vaccine is one of 6 takeover drugs being tested in the u.s. it's considered one of the most advanced since it entered phase 3 this is the 2nd time trials of a possible covert vaccine have been halted testing of the job being developed by astra zeneca and oxford university was stopped when a volunteer in the u.k. showed an adverse reaction. now u.s. city of portland has seen riots and vandalism with statues toppled as people demonstrated on indigenous peoples day which has replaced the federal columbus day holiday in several states. 2 statues of former president theodore roosevelt and abraham lincoln were pulled down at the entrance to the oregon historical society was blocked 3 people were

arrested president donald trump had this to say about the unrest 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. well anyways but typical activist anthony verges right on social justice journalist on koni has explained why some people object to set to the fat cheese in the u.s. 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 or 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 record truth and reconciliation process i just don't think that we can exercise this from an english centric lens a referring to it's 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. ordered the lynching of the $38.00 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.

european union's back to imposing a new round of sanctions on russian officials over the alleged alexina valmy poisoning that as moscow's pleas for evidence continue to be ignored by europe the global chemical weapons watchdog artie's correspondent peter all of a has more. 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 but 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 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 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 looking particularly great on monday we heard from alexander schellenberg the austrian foreign minister vienna had being traditionally 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 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 kind of back russia is one of the co-chairs soledad means group to deal with is the fight in northern iraq and i wish we're not going to stop doing that to do too little about in 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 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. but you

don't have a slowly a member of germany's left party says it's up to russia to deliver a verdict on the case. russia's requests. i believe 9 of the charter w. actually being responded to by the german authorities and those requests for clarification are not responded to it time by germany but the russian federation is fully within its rights to actually do my. bit o. u. c w. generated laboratory without cooperation from from the josiah at the trial in this case clearly the russian federation for your forty's russia crossing futures so 1st of all jodi would be to provide. prosecutors of a good investigator in charge people related to this all of this is not easy to be

rid of your wants and this doesn't seem to be your job he was there your interest. is a she's a guest for us. if you look at the case so you should be right. with amir's even briefly now a march by chile's largest indigenous group descended into violence on monday then authorised rally for santiago was met by riot police petrol pump and stone throwing were counted by water callen until it got. wildfires in syria have killed 2 with 70 others requiring medical attention the north west of the country is in the grip of a heat wave buildings in several cities have been down there just. a sort of us have managed to capture the moment a black hole tears apart a star also known as death by its begets if occasion this is an artist's rendition of the event the actual image image is being a little less dramatic to the untrained eye though they contain unprecedented

detail if the close of such event ever spotted by a scientist on a 250000000 light years away. at least 8 people are dead and dozens injured after a 3 story building collapsed in lagos nigeria video taken not long after the tragedy shows what is left of the building of course has yet to be astonished. well thanks for joining us on r.t. this cheese day stay with us for part one of our exclusive interview with the armenian president coming up next. you can tap about some of that capital and you can have tapped it 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 the cold then there's plenty of stock there's plenty of capital in

your capital system to smooth it out but if you defaced the current and new interest rates are 0 and there's no incentive to say therefore there's no capital then you don't have to apples and where you have a club toher see run by central banks the worse it gets the more they pay themselves. a dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells their bodies on the streets many of them underage. los angeles police reveal a taste of their daily challenge if you're going to exploit for a child here in los angeles all they were going to come out was the officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight 6 trade. as the election approaches we feel it's necessary to ask a very simple 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 choice which is the true party system losing more. democracy. lead.
