are broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our international. certainly with us now we begin in france where president has announced strict new rules to be applied to paris and other major cities in response to cope with 19 and a nighttime curfew will be enforced from this coming weekend for a minimum of 4 weeks. we have made a decision to impose a curfew it will be in force in the paris region and 8 other french cities well this all came of course as it was declared that france was moving into a new state of health emergency something that had subsided back in the summer when the numbers of cases had gone down but that is now back president much took to the stage to address the french public on wednesday night to talk about the new

stricter measures that would come into place he said he didn't want to infantile eyes people to treat people like children but he said that people must follow the rules and if they didn't follow the rules or respect those rules and they could be even new stricter restrictions coming into force in the next few weeks but what he has announced is this nightly curfew that will start on saturday and that will operate from 9 pm in the evening until 6 am in the morning and that will be across paris the greater parisian region and also 8 other cities the worst affected cities by 19 now president machen said that this will have to be strictly regulated if you are out past 9 pm and you don't have a good reason i.e. you're not leaving your work to go home or you don't have an artist ask you which is like a paper to say that you can be out on the streets you will be fined the 1st time a $135.00 euros repeat offenders will face $1500.00 euros in terms of

fines and we understand that this will be in place for at least 4 weeks but the government is going to look to extend that up until december 1st so that will be for 6 weeks that that few will be in place to give you an example the number of cases almost 23000 new cases registered in the last 24 hours with more than a 104 deaths also registered now president marco also talked about other. things that needed to be taken into consideration he said that we needed to reduce private gatherings in france have less social contact with people and the rule of 6 that's been in place in restaurants he said now had to be in place in private settings too and while he said it was still ok to visit your family and to travel around france he said even with your family members and your friends if you can't be more than a metre away from them you must still where a mask well there has been reaction thick and fast to those announcement by

president mack on. 60 percent of new infections happen to work schools or universities between 8 and 7 pm but micron is banning people from going out to bars restaurants between 8 pm and 6 am welcome to absurdity there must be great disappointment among medics tonight who have heard no announcements of extra personnel material support well on medics president matt korn did address the crisis in hospitals he mentioned the fact that the number of patients in the i.c.u. unit intensive care units is now higher than it was back in march at the start of the 1st wave of the covert 1000 demick here in france and he said that they were in a worrying state as a result of that he said these measures were being taken to reduce the number of people who are testing positive for covert 1000 from the 20 odd 1000 that we've

seen in the last 24 hours down to just a few 1000 which he said would be manageable by hospital staff but the reality is that these measures in place now astrid he said we will have to live with the virus until at least the summer of 2021 and there will be many people at night having listening to that speech of president back on worrying about the future of their businesses that could be coming into place on saturday in paris and in 8 other cities across the country it will last from 9 pm every night until 6 am every morning and it will be strictly enforced we spoke with the health director for the red cross international who supports of the tougher restrictions. the stuff for mention measures are welcome and we as the red cross today called out for political leaders to intervene ina speedy courageous and inclusive way to

ensure that these measures are put in place to protect the dea the health and the social nomic status of the people of france and in many other countries even europe or many countries are being taken little bit by surprise by the iraq surge all cases and so the are many countries are reacting within the deposits 48 hours with new measure that being put in place what ease needed to moment to ease. measures that can reduce the deferred address mission but measures that can also bring people along and this is critical you know order to assure that those measures are actually effective in. a 2nd experimental russian vaccine against corona virus has officially been registered at the vax corona has successfully passed phase one and 2 clinical trials russian president vladimir putin made the announcement on wednesday. losing. the vote to research center in the disappears is

registered karuna the 2nd russian vaccine against corona virus the epi bot corona vaccine was developed by siberia based states a research center among the largest in russia it was founded more than 45 years ago that in the soviet times phase one and phase 2 of its clinical trials are now behind and we heard it was a success meaning the drug is safe now face 3 is coming and it is a study in whether the vaccine is in fact effective we hear that around $40000.00 volunteers are expected to take part and for that purpose $60000.00 doses of the drug will be produced and we hear from russia's vice premier that it will happen very very soon interesting to mention is that normally all 3 stages so phases of the human a clinical trials should be completed before registration but the world has been living in quite an emergency mode in the last 8 or so months so procedures have

been slightly changed slightly adjusted so this is world's 2nd registered vaccine against 19 the 1st one was also registered in russia back in august it is known as sputnik all satellite feed it is and then a virus vector viral a vaccine and we now hear from its developers that by november russia will be able to produce up to 6000000 doses of vaccine maining 8 to may take up to 12 months to vaccinate around 80 percent of the country's population and as we hear from russia's president vladimir putin the russian citizens house is among the country's key priorities but. first we need to make these vaccines available on the russian markets they must be supplied to russian pharmacies on as large a scale as possible we continue to cooperate with our foreign partners and we will promote a vaccine abroad as well thinking about the. international cooperation and foreign partners we know that 50 countries are already interested in russia's sputnik the

vaccine against kawiti we heard that from the head of russia's investment fund who just earlier this week came back from the united arab emirates where phase 3 of the clinical trials of sputnik was approved billeted to the sputnik. you know gold piece 3 was made in the issue of participate 2 is definitely very important we believe you we use a strategic cob for fightin colonel biros not only of the middle east in the world on taking part in phase 3 of the clinical trials of sputnik the vaccine is a double blind trial meaning placebo is used and neither doctors know the participants know who is getting the wharton only 75 percent of the volunteer is actually jabbed with a real short and till the last moment i was hoping that i'm among them i got 2 injections already on the 1st and 21st day of the trial so i got reactions like

fever muscle pain and had a off to both injections actually now i just now received results showing that my body right now has i.g.g. antibodies meaning my body reacted to. 1000 to corona virus as if i was infected vaccine apparently i got the vaccine. job so i'm very happy with that. moscow says it's no longer business as usual when it comes to the e.u. while threats and accusations continue to roll out from brussels russia's top diplomat sergey lavrov was speaking to russian media executives including artie's editor in chief margarita simonyan also on the agenda was below roosts and to turkey's involvement in the conflict or to sofitel or has the big talking points. we had a very lengthy and really comprehensive conversation between foreign minister sergei lavrov and editors in chief of a number of media organizations there was so much to unpack that such an array of

topics but one that was given considerable attention was russia's increasingly difficult relationship with the european union now love prof notes that of course the 2 have mutual interests especially economic ones let's think of course just off the north stream to a gas pipeline but that all of this was made very difficult by what the fire foreign minister described as a condescending attitude from the blog and this constant to mons being put on moscow this is what he said about the impact of that after 2 years that there was no go through approvals. the question is not just where the business as usual is possible but where the any business with the european union is possible a tool the e.u. behaves arrogantly towards us and looks condescendingly down at russia demanding answers from us for all the crimes it imagines we have committed i think we are under no obligation to respond to that. also add to that a versa for you but minority within the european union was only father undermining

the relationship now of course this all comes against the backdrop of wosm diplomatic ties between moscow and brussels as a result of the election poisoning of russian opposition figure i'll explain a follow me now one of the significant part of what lavrov said talked about double standards and he said that often the puts much more pressure on moscow than it would on itself and he said especially when it comes to the idea of interference in foreign affairs as this is something that people few very subjectively but i wouldn't go to. in 2017 and during the election in france marine le pen's a legitimate politician came to moscow to meet with president putin then french foreign minister publicly claimed that this was an attempt at foreign interference in the electoral process in france. now look at who macro holding meetings with smith learned to cannot. no one pays any attention to the fact that this could also be considered as foreign interference in belorussian affairs for such

a lot from laid out his few on what the end goal was from these verbal assaults from on fact competition for cools for sanctions and for causing tellme oil russia's borders. in the us the west will always try to hold us back to undermine our political and economic capacities this is all part of the same old game they want to throw russia of violence not just with direct assaults like dirty competition and illegitimate sanctions but also by creating instability on our borders. now one out of russia's key relationships on the international stage that was touched upon was of course with washington and quite frankly he said with less than a month to go to the election whoever wins in november whether it's trump or biden probably very little would change he reiterated that all moscow has ever wanted was good cooperation but i'm an equal footing and that sometimes washington's foreign policy made that very difficult other topics such as the protests in batteries or

indeed a peaceful resolution to the conflict newborn i care about we're also discussed quite extensively but suddenly the lion's share from today's conversation was dedicated to the current status of russia's relationship with key international players and the future of it the message today seemed very uncompromising things cannot continue as they are business cannot go on as usual whether that serves as a trick up for more compromise or want to stand will have to be seen or heard from politicians and journalists who agreed with the e.u. still needs to maintain relations with moscow despite any harsh language coming from h.q. in brussels i think it will last for some trial and then of course the continue. the most. important mission germany and europe. it would be to stop the. pipeline between russia and germany nord stream too but of course the german star

want to do that because that would get them and do it up very badly we need russian gas and so they don't put them on the sanction list so the sanctions are not really sanctions it's you know wagging the finger or it's really not up to standard where your to should be as an international power and talking with russia which is another power and the world we have a new wave of russian propaganda as well of anti chinese propaganda coming from the us there is a net. of 2 a politically trained politicians and of the population that is uninformed on russia that it's very easy to make such a anti-rational co-opting russia is not very smart in using soft power so we don't have enough pro russian engines they don't know about. european russian cultural exchange. it would be very helpful if russia could try to be a little bit have

a little bit more p.r. that makes it also. and easier for us. to push the other side. the leaders of russia and turkey have agreed on the vital importance of upholding the ceasefire between armenia and azerbaijan in phone conversation with president vladimir putin also raised moscow's concerns over the role of militants from middle east being brought into the carb a conflict zone. a fragile cease fire was brokered on saturday but has been repeatedly violated with armenia blaming each other the fighting in flared up more than 2 weeks ago but has roots going back 3 decades the area is mostly inhabited by ethnic armenians but is legally part of azerbaijan our correspondent dawn off reports from its capital. before the war this street used to be bustling with life neighbors would come visit each other mothers would read bedtime stories to their

children well now it's almost completely abandoned after and as a by johnny airstrike basically there's a huge apartment building here which is no more there are no windows it has partially collapsed it's simply unsafe to live here here people as they ran to safety they abandoned their belongings like children's bicycles they simply had no time to pack everything and i have to admit that since the truce the city of stepanek the capital of nagorno-karabakh has it more or less easy been bodman do still happen but they are move rather than they used to be and they are almost entirely almost completely limited to nighttime it's more or less the same of it towns of nagorno-karabakh like the towns of martone and shushi in fact thing is similar pictures similar very very similar devastation can also be seen from azerbaijan its 2nd largest city of ganja came under shelling just a couple of days ago.

and it would be wrong to say that the fighting has ceased elsewhere too as we're filming this there's a faint but a very distinctive sound of shelling coming from over the mountains to the south from here that is where the town of adroit is which is viewed as a gateway into nagorno-karabakh so it is a very heavily contested area the fighting is also fierce in the north. seems both . by john trying to get a firm grip on some key strategic places and heights before real peace negotiations

a peaceful place. on tuesday azerbaijan claimed that its territories were being shelled by armenian forces both nations deny violating the cease fire these images are from the city of terror terror which according to baku has been shelled several times in recent days as a result people have taken shelter in their basements here's what. to say about. there are many answers and constantly they're shelling us now with different weapons with missiles bombs tanks rocket launchers they use it all it have to put in one week ago a shell struck and abstemious neighbor's home was completely destroyed it was impossible to take anything from the building our home was also severely damaged doors windows even the walls everything is ruined. militant we cannot sleep at night when they stop shelling for an hour or so we can close our eyes now then

we get woken up again it's the same thing over and over. first known case of covert 1000 reinfection in america has been confirmed according to a study published by an internationally recognized medical journal the patient's symptoms were far more severe the 2nd time around 25 year old man from nevada who has no recorded immune disorder 1st tested positive in april he later recovered with 2 negative tests but in june develop severe symptoms and again tested positive it is the 5th proven case of reinfection registered worldwide on the 1st worldwide death from reinfection was reported in the netherlands on tuesday mark penn dorie the lead author of the us study says people should not assume that they are safe after recovering from covert scientific data that we had from this case and other cases would indicate that if somebody has had coded no chain we just don't know whether that person can be reinspected again it's possible that they could be

reinfected again but it's also possible that some people are immune in fact it could be that the vast majority of people are immune and it could be something else it could be in our immune system gives us a resistance that makes the 2nd case a lesser but asymptomatic action despite the confirmed cases of reinfection some people do assume that they are immune to having caught and recovered from the disease donald trump seemingly among them the u.s. president battled covered earlier this month he said he's even ready to get up and close and personal with his supporters. now they say i'm a mutant i can feel i feel so powerful i was it. was just so everyone. was just the guys in the beautiful women and. everybody give you a big. developing story now in thailand where the government has just

declared a state of emergency in the capital bangkok it follows growing unrest with thousands of people protesting against both the country's prime minister and the monarchy. on wednesday scuffles broke out between protesters and the police as mass groups surrounded the prime minister's office demonstrators are calling for his resignation among other broad changes including a curb on the king's powers in the country these are some of the biggest protests since an anti-government movement began early in july riot police have been deployed to the capital following that emergency decree which bans gatherings of 5 or more people and the immediate arrest of those violating the new order. the controversial new york times project which labeled slavery as the most significant aspect of american history has sparked a round between the paper's own writers one columnist wrote that the 161000 project

had failed and he got his response from the paper the union of employees. it says a lot about an organization when it breaks its own rules and goes after one of its own the act like the article reeks. that tweet has since been taken down the project was developed by new york times magazine with a series of pieces published last year 69000 was when the 1st slave ship arrived in the colony of virginia and the writers argued that date should actually be considered the birth year for the united states rather than 776 the year independence was declared now the research gained plenty of publicity and the creator won the pulitzer prize last week new york times columnist bret stephens wrote an opinion piece questioning the 69000 project he praised the quality of the research but said it is not the job of reporters to reframe history journalists are most often in the business of writing the 1st rough draft of history not trying to

have the last word on it we have best when we try to tell truths with a lowercase t. following evidence and directions on scene not the capital t. truth of a pre-established narrative in which inconvenient facts get discarded as fresh concerns make clear on these points and for all of its virtues buzz spin offs and a pulitzer prize the 161000 project has failed. rhee spoke to legal and media analyst lionel about the infighting in the new york times over the project he thinks it demonstrates left wing intolerance of dissenting news. when it amazes me that somebody who represents or than organization of journalists would basically have a problem with somebody expressing an idea or performing journalism it just goes to show you that this comes down to one very simple fact there are some

things that are allowed to be said within let's say the alter left journalist platforms and things that you can't say if you say anything that challenges you to the new york times or particular ideologies espoused by the time or even that you dare say something that goes against the grain you are cut down immediately let me make even more simple there is no journalism anymore. a russian photographer has won a coveted international award with a once in a lifetime image of an endangered siberian tiger sergei gonchar cause work is entitled the embrace shows a tiger ascent marking an ancient fir tree in russia's far east it took 11 months of trial and error to finally capture the close up of the big cat using motion sensors the british national history museum chose the piece out of $41000.00 and
