therefore there is no council then you don't have japanese anymore you have a club charter sea run by such a bank the worse it gets the more they pay themselves. 4th day of a fragile truce between armenia and azerbaijan with both sides accusing each other of violating the cease fire the armenian prosecutor general's office open the criminal case into international terrorism with reports of foreign fighters in a disputed link or no care about region we hear from syria figures from both sides of the conflict is the one that brought. the islamic militants terrorists in the throes of blood drawn we don't need any pointers and militias on our soil because we have a much stronger professional army. with the 2nd wave of the pandemic taking its toll on health care systems around the world a new survey finds that

a large number of nurses in france are ready to quit. while telephone guys ation ses lock downs are not the best way to find covert 19 if they cause significant collateral damage secularly among poor populations. don't use it down to your brand will make the knock down it's just one consequence that you never ever belittle and that is making poor people for. a very warm welcome you're watching r t international with me carrying. our top story the faltering ceasefire in nagorno-karabakh as entities 4th day as armenia and azerbaijan again accuse each other of violating the truce amid a series of shelling attacks saturday those are 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 enclaves and the armenian prime minister has warned of a potential humanitarian catastrophe because very government for its part reported several of its own regions have been shelled barker 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 iran denies the claims karabakh conflict stretches back more than 3 decades although the region is populated mainly by ethnic armenians it's legally part of the by john. well the armenian prosecutor general's office has opened a criminal case into suspected international terrorism on the basis of allegations that there are foreign mercenaries taking part in the conflicts our correspondent spoke with the armenian president armin sarkozy and in an exclusive interview

before version 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 the turkey has problems with the problems in egypt it is involved in lead via oil is it that nick rather is or something else it's a different story that's one second there was speaking about p k k fighters absolute nonsense 3rd one there was speaking about the pipelines that were running

from bug to 2 to be these each a young girl as an oil pipeline swam said referring to this because. the motivation was that our media 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 budget plan part of a couple of shellings would stop the pipelines being built i mean didn't do that and they didn't do that more than 20 years no shelling and no one bullet was fired i mean is allowed the army is allowed to budge on to build a pipeline to sell their oil and gas to not only theirs but from charleston and also from from the central asia make billions of dollars and use that billions of dollars and buying billions of dollars of where armament and they use that against

not gotten caught about and that brings to to a conclusion billions of dollars so that's money in turkish support bombing and torture support has created and with money and character support you can come over any more the red air defense system that they're going to cut off had any of my colleague neil harvey spoke tell a lie after lie of the spokes person of the azerbaijani ministry of foreign affairs as she told us the a fairy stance on take a simple man to the dispute. this information i'm going to gracious about turkey support one party or let me also make it clear that yes turkey and i suppose john we have a good cooperation in the areas including the military it's not going to budge on a hybrid that other countries look at but it doesn't mean that just the support that was going on that was not principle up to the support is most of what we have been witnessing to support all the time as hard as well because we were done army

by against the illegal predator of the army of armenia on our own soil armenia claims that turkish fighter jets have been involved supporting azerbaijan what's your response to that taken you and i mean you have 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 fighters and militias on our soil because we have a much stronger professional army which is able and capable to defend its integrity within its internationally criticised for this it's kind of an uneasy situation because of the underlying problems what about the allowing the people of the disputed region to decide their own future what about their claims for independence and i would look at that and surrounding race are sovereign was a bridge and this is the part of the internationally recognized interest of us that which 2nd of all the armenians living in these areas and the right to nations so

the dems nation does not mean that france the session sent them a nation does not mean independence so what we say of course we can grab something to the nation would we being that is the integrity of azerbaijan if every group of people would declare i would claim that they have the right of the nation can you imagine what kind of road will happen what do you see as russia's role in peace efforts between azerbaijan and armenia russia is a big player of course there russia's role as an educator is considerable russia have been active between the sides between the region and are we now to find a peaceful settlement to the conflict but unfortunately we have to say that armenia ignorantly. was writing a cease fire was ignoring the demands of the united nations security council resolutions as well as the numerous decisions of other international. 6 organizations and we want to see more active role of russia in finding

a peaceful resolution to the conflict. healthcare systems across europe are being pushed to the brink with a wreck or kovac 19 infection rates clocking up across the continent in france medics scared they're not as well prepared as they were during the pandemics 1st wave. we don't have any nurses back in february in march we had an enormous amount of volunteers the 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 the new survey has confirmed exactly that found that with the pandemic taking its toll many medical workers want out of the profession r.t. astrologer boesky picks up the story. as the coup make reared its ugly head the 1st

story of real strain was on hospitals who looked as one posed people who wanted to show their appreciation and so started the nightly class the paris. thank you. now is the pressure on hospitals and stuff and getting all the coughing in the world isn't enough to boost the morale of traumatised medical staff and me serving his bearing that more than a home for nurse is suffering burn up and many say they are ready to quit it's. conducted by the national order of nurses 57 percent of respondents said they would be 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 robes 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 she quickly that this virus was gone the reality of the 2nd wave is here they could be no more slackening cause is in the country facing problems with a medical right this was the u.k. prime minister was raving about the fantastic n.h.s.

we will win because our n.h.s. is the beating heart of this country he's the best of this country he's a. 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 handled many said they would do this illusion and exhausted but there were other reasons too. 65 percent said a 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 copd 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 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 for good solid ati paris. france is the mother among the countries that is seeing higher infection rates than in spring along with the u.k. is introducing new lockdown measures but the world health organizations are warning leaders against using lockdowns as the primary control method against the spread of covert 90 drop using lockdown as your primary control method lockdowns just one consequence that you never. 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 one recent forecasts

suggesting it will contract by 5 percent in 202020 or 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 remarked he 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 could 1000 was and what type of a threat it was they did it by not acting like over $1000.00 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 use but in each one that you just named they had government leadership that followed and acknowledged the fact that $1000.00 was a threat and developed a plan from day one whereas in america we had a president who completely ignores 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 trump listen 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 though state 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 a 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. well to come along statues the former president theodore roosevelt and they perhaps lincoln what toppled in portland and had riots and vandalism across the u.s. i think more on that sound other stories coming up after this short break.

join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see if that. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. tyson nation whole community. are you going the right way or are you being

led somewhere. direct. watch is true watch his face. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura maybe in the shallowness.

when i last saw him wrong. why don't we just don't call. me. yet to ship out does this come after. and in good spirit because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back pharmaceutical company johnson and johnson says is pausing the advance clinical trial of its experimental coronavirus vaccine found 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 a 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 and 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 the by astra zeneca and oxford university was stopped when a volunteer in the u.k. showed an adverse reaction. to. the us city of portland has seen riots and vandalism with statues toppled as people demonstrated on indigenous peoples day which is replaced the federal columbus day holiday in several states.

to start choose the former president theodore roosevelt and abraham lincoln were pulled down and the entrance to the oregon historical society was also 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 and order well earlier we spoke to political activist anthony rogers right on social justice journalist on mentone who explained why some people object to certain thought shoes 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 that 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 any 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 in 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 $38.00 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. the european union's back to imposing a new round of sanctions on russian officials over the alleged alexei navalny points think that's a small skies a place the evidence continued to be acknowledged by europe and the global chemical weapons watchdog ati's correspondent pays all of the hostile. 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 were the 2 member states that put forward these burling 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 this situation there were protests in 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 a prosecutor general's office have been sent in accordance with the european convention on me to assistance in criminal matters we cannot investigate a 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 hard 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 not volley that russia's cooperation was needed particularly when it came to situations like the ongoing crisis in the got a cut about russia as one of the co-chairs soledad means group to deal with is the fight in order to kind of wash 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 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 john to have a thoroughly a member of germany's left party think it's up to russia to deliver a verdict on the case russia's repressed. optical nine-a charge or do you have to be responded to by the german authorities and those repressed for error kaixian not responded to it by germany then the russian federation is fully within its rights to actually. build o.p.c. w. x. general laboratories without cooperation from from the josiah at the trial in this case clearly the russian federation value authorities the russian prosecutors so 1st of all jodi each of providing evidence. prosecutors told

a good investigator that chachi people related to all of the air but this is not seems to be what the european union wants and this doesn't seem to be or germany wants them more interested. because asians aghast that if you look at the case seems to be baseless. news is reflower march by chile's largest indigenous group descended into violence on monday the un authorized rallies through santiago was met by riot police petrol bombs and stones thrown were counted by water cannons and tear gas. while 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 is still. a struggle and have managed to capture the moment a black hole tears apart a star also known a as death by spaghettification this is an artist's rendition of

the event the actual images being a little less dramatic to the untrained eye though they contain unprecedented detail if the closest such event ever spotted by scientists a mere 250000000 light years away. at least 8 people are dead and dozens injured after a 3 story building collapse in lagos nigeria for a video taken not long after the tragedy shows what is left of the building because has yet to be established. and the. government security services are once again urging tech giants to give them back to entry into people's online communications with that request comes from the intelligence alliance known as the 5 eyes they claim encryption on services such as wards up make it harder for police to catch criminals. while encryption is vital and pretty soon cyber security must be protected that should not come at the expense of wholly precluding law enforcement and the tech industry itself from

being able to act against the most serious illegal content and activity online well that statement came from top justice officials in the 5 eyes countries which are australia canada new zealand the united kingdom and the united states and it was also signed by india and japan well this comes after facebook announced plans to introduce the end to end encryption on all its services to boost privacy levels the company already encrypted messages sent on whatsapp but the 5 eyes alliance say the technology could endanger public safety they highlighted the spread of terrorist propaganda and child pornography is a particular concern saying firms that should work with intelligence services to intercept such activity internet law expert u.i. cohen and former u.k. police officer peter kirkland discussed the issue. no sane states woods allow citizens absolute total privacy with no means of

getting behind that available to them by the by i think people need to be more worried about what these commercial companies are doing with their data and what they're harvesting from their accounts rather more than what the state is harvested for the vast vast majority of people the state really couldn't care less about them there is no way the state is going to be looking at them or we've been distracted from what we should really be worrying about here trey's book is like a family restaurant so it is a family product it is something with it a lot of children there in mom and dad in grandpa and grandma and these people they know they are not asking for this level of encryption anyone who wants to use a higher level of encryption can go and use nice. what facebook is doing it is introducing all those very evaleen.
