a garden car about the region, starting from 1 pm local time. on wednesday, the truth was reached with the mediation by commanders of the russian peace keeping contingent in the region. despite difficulties, the conditions were accepted by the authorities. emma garner carr bock as well. the analysis of the hazard by johnny armed forces action shows that they were tasked with dividing art stock and causing your reputable damage to its viability. during 2 days of persistent fighting, the units of the art stock armed forces for likely defended themselves against the enemy who has multiple times stronger in manpower and military equipment inflicting heavy losses. unfortunately, the arts oxide has victims and wounded. in some areas, the enemy managed to break through to the combat positions of the defense army and take control of a number of heights in strategic road junctions. in the current situation, the actions of the international community directed at ending the war and resolving the situation or insufficient. considering all this, the authorities of the republic of arch soft except the proposal of

a ceasefire made by the command of the russian peacekeeping mission. all right, let's get the latest developments now. and then a garner car by region from ortiz, roman coast drive, who joins us from the armenian capital roman. what more details do you have about that statement that was issued by authorities up in a rental car box? well, one thing is that clear is that sir, thanks to this uh, truce uh, further bloodshed and the further destruction of could be avoided. now. therefore, if you don't mind gordon, a car, a buck accepted the proposal of the commands of the russian peacekeeping admission to cease fire starting at 1 pm on wednesday. also, an agreement has been reached on the withdrawal of the remaining or median army units in service. then from the deployment zone, one of the russian peacekeeping contingent now, along with that, that is diamonds and complete this arguments all the information's of the defense army of my gordon a car box will take place as well. now finally,

the issues raised by there by john on the read to gratian ensuring the rights and security obedience on my board maker. a box will be discussed at a meeting between the representatives of the local or me and population, and representatives of the central authorities of the republic officer by john. now that is supposed to take place on thursday. the 21st roman. has there been any reaction from moscow? the main peacekeeping party so far? well, the kremlin is a yet to comment on this outcome from uh, this uh, potentials fail made. but however, the president spokesperson that'd meet with a scope explains that such decision was the pre emptive by previous agreements on the sides of this call. thanks. let's think of this your mind. thank you, sir. we do not accept reproaches against us, especially after the official decision of the reunion sides to recognize turner by his part, to preserve bridge on the euro. we are now talking about those are by just actions

on each territory. despite the accusations, we can send it to work with their mean insight. we're waiting agreement on the timing of a telephone conversation. we didn't present put in and prime minister pushing that contacts with as our. but john continued at the working level, if necessary, conversation with the president of was there, but john can also take place. meanwhile, the russian defense ministry states that the russian peacekeeping contingent in the corner car box continues to perform its functions. all necessary assistance is provided to the peaceful population, often a gordon, a car of bulk as well. currently, there are $2261.00 civilians, including over a 1000 children in the peacekeepers base camp. now the command of the russian peace keeping contingent is in very close contact with the other by johnny armenian as sides and the representatives of the in the government car bulk as well. now the provision of bloodshed, compliance with so many terry in law against civilians as well as ensuring the security of the russian peacekeeping contingent are constantly highlighted and

discussed according to the russian defense ministry. right. ortiz remonde customer of thank you mean? well, we've also heard from the, as or by johnny defense minister on the ceasefire, who said the implementation of the process was coordinated with russian peacekeepers. boxes said the armed formations of armenia and what it cost. busy is illegal arm the groups located in the car? buck region should lay down their arms. they also stress forces based on combat positions and military posts must completely disarm and leave the territory of as or by john with all weapons and heavy equipment to be handed over. our t corresponding estimate can, has more. the slicing has continued overnight since as the anti terror operation, as it refers to it as it started on tuesday. and from that point up until now, the other page on the side says that some critical infrastructure has been damaged in problems. is like sure that we're also part of the new car,

new car by war in 2020. and that's the provenance in general, has been a part of the operations targeting specific areas, particularly routing outs, elements pertaining to the armenian armed forces. of course are many has denied to that they have forces on the ground, but also be john says that there are paramilitary activities within the region and that they are targeting those said areas, of course also be jobs defense ministry issue a statement as well as saying that there has been a great deal of damage done already claiming that 60 military positions pretending to armenian forces have been captured, destroying dozens of military vehicles, as well as weapons in the process. and emphasized that operations in the new garner part of our region have been targeting military units. now, the events that have been unfolding have of course, been a long time coming. it doesn't come as much of a surprise considering that the tensions between the 2 sides had been mounting over

the past few months. in that uh, in september armenian, uh, sided blocks within the province uh, elected a new presidency to take office. and this has been one of the most fundamental reasons, in addition to, of course, the board of crises within the region to ensure that this, these developments don't escalate any further. there's been a great deal of international attention as well. the us, the, you and russia have of course condemned azerbaijan. offensive can, citing, that's, of the piece process should be here to, at least that's what the russian side is saying, the us and you are telling us, or be john to stop it's offensive. whereas russia says that the 2 sides need to drop on and go back and adhere to the details that were a part of the peace deal brokered in 2020. there's also been

a great deal of reaction from uncorrupted charged presidents issued statements of supports automotive law. we have supported negotiations between us about john and no media from the very beginning of the year. however many or is not making the most of this historic opportunity. we expect the comprehensive piece agreement to be signed between the 2 countries as soon as possible. i is listening to the turkish presidents, he says that the 2 sides need to come together and broke a new deal. of course, russia has a peacekeeping force within the province to ensure that a similar thing as to whether or not that deal would be adhered to by the 2 sides, or whether a new deal would be brokered. it's unclear of justice. it is unclear that whether this operation or this military offensive will continue or whether it will continue to target specific areas and put an end to it is just as uncertain regarding a car voc or art soc has for decades been disputed between armenia and as or by

john, after the collapse of the soviet union, the area mainly inhabited by ethnic armenians proclaimed his independence in the move. what was branded illegal by baku. the biggest escalation happened in 2021. the as or by johnny army gain to control over a large part of the territories popular laws during a war in the early 19 nineties. earlier this year are many as prime minister admitted that he could see car back as officially part of as or by john. adding his country has always respected as or by johns territorial integrity. the sick which on ritual, you see these 86000 square meters, including the going and got it back. but issue the magic hour position is that the question of rights and security of our me in synagogue and cut about must be discussed between but who asked about garrett thompson to check on mr. pushing on tele, straight, those to come into media and government recognized arts on his part of his there by john, how strongly i sort of aggregate meaning government position is old. i mean government recognizes as avery, john's territorial integrity with talking about she. yes,

i 2nd hand with all the name is i have said i have clarified, i find it difficult to give them more specific answer to political expert. steven guy says they armenian prime ministers, previous comments about the care of by region that contradict the interest of the armenian people in this position may be correct from the starting point of the international law. but it is definitely an act of betrayal from the standpoint of armenian national interest. and one of the most of our mediums feel so uh, i think that, uh, you know, his statement is scandalous for, uh, the, the armenians in the, in the, you know, yeah. in the 1st place and then uh it is uh, i think uh on uh, realistic without a violent scenario of one kind or the under. so uh,

what's busing on this uh, in my opinion, of course uh, viewing from from, from the side not from that region is that uh heated everything to encourage a barcode to actually take really the reaction was that i think that's really the position of a medium people is, is extremely tragic because they have a man who is clearly a traitor on their national interest in charge. and, uh, and there's almost nothing they can do about it. so that is why we see these protests and yet about where you can follow the latest updates on the unfolding situation and they're going to car buck in many other stories on our website, r t t dot com, the at least 5 people been killed and several injured in a gas explosion in a high rise building in the moscow suburb, we should warn you the following images are distressing. the

all of the house collapsed. well, search operations were underway with several emergency workers being hit by rubble to reported to be dead with 4 in the hospital with the injuries explosion destroyed the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors of the building. all right, let's cross a live now to ortiz charlotte davinsky, who is at the scene for us. charlotte will market and tell us about this. well, yes, we understand that 5 people were killed following that gas explosion that happens just off the atm he local time in moscow, in the suburbs, in the north of the city. uh, we understand the 2 of those are emergency cri workers. uh that was asked that you so that will collapsing inside the building due to the instability following that gas explosion. earlier on, we all waiting to find out what caused that explosion. and we all hoping to get

some more information from the authorities about that later on. they are investigating the closest to that at the moment. but we understand that 5 people spend lights, including 2 emergency workers who came here simply to do the job, to help to free those who had been trapped under the russell. we understand that work has halted for the moment and that's because after the collapse of that will, after the decks of those emergency workers and the injury of others, they've decided to hold proceedings while they bring specialist cruising to of the right. it seems like we've lost our connection with our correspondence, charlotte davinsky reporting on that apparent gas explosion in a suburb of moscow. today, we do know at this point that at least 5 people have been killed in that explosion . several more have an injured will keep you updated on the story as we get more

information and bring you more from the scene that later on. the have a address to the un general assembly ukrainian and president vladimir zalinski. we'll meet with you as lawmakers later this week with the political clash on capital hill or the aide for to have currently in the spotlight house speaker, kevin mccarthy demanded accountability on us assistance to ukraine. them intentions among republicans over the funding zalinski elected the congress. this year president the clinic and i have questions for where is the accountability and the money we already split? what is the plan for victory? i think that's what the american public wants to know. i want to count ability for whatever the hardworking tax their spend their money on, and $1.00 on. and i want to plan for victory. speaking on the sidelines of the un general assembly of the polish president compared to crane it to a drowning person, who maple is allies down with it? you dream is behaving like a drowning person clinging. do everything he can,

but we have the right to defend ourselves against home being done to us. a drone in person, extremely dangerous. he can pull you down to the depths. simply draw a dress to a. the president, due to his remarks, came after the extension of its embargo on ukrainian grain imports reports and claim a plan to pull into crane meeting after you and general assembly was canceled or shortly after with no explanation. given. a polish deputy for minister stated that while warsaw wants to continue supporting you praying that cannot do so against the will of its people. kevin turned announced restrictions on some impulse agricultural products, launching legal action against those you states and the world trade organization hungry and slovakia also oppose the blocks decision to lift restrictions on ukrainian brain imports, arguing the influx would harm their own economies. budapest earlier accused the blocks leadership in brussels. i'd be more concerned about ukraine than its actual member states. the decision of the european commission not to extend the temporary

import band is a serious problem. but the fact that the chairman of this body ursula funder lion, consulted on this topic, not with the leaders of the countries, but with the president of ukraine flooding. there's a lensky, raise a certain political issues you leaders are elected by the member states. they are accountable to them and they should support them, but instead, the interest of a completely for and 3rd country are more important to them than the interest of e u. member states. but despite early art refusal to keep a band on ukrainian at greenville, guerria is now moving toward re imposing ad following farmer protests across the country, demanding bulgaria, follow the steps of hungry and uphold the restrictions. the farmers also want compensation for their losses. while we heard from geopolitical expert, george 70 wiley, in budapest, a, she says the issue is finding itself and a messy situation concerning it's

a policies for ukraine. the ukraine has been under the impression that it's priority is the priorities of who countries in the world, particularly the western countries. and of course, the leaders of the west, namely in washington, the brussels have said that we will do everything, whatever, whatever it takes we will do it for you. great. um and, and most of us on the line, you know, set this when we get to the lady when, when she lifted that embargo, if this didn't go down very well with o e u member states. and i think this is an excuse a little surprised by this, and now we have a problem, congress will walk. you said the when, when i was gonna follow the dig stats. and so, so this is saying that he's going to assume go be a take, take this matter to the world trade organization because there it, it's very problematic because the, you would have to go to the w t o and defend its members, stays quote,

who are actually in disagreement with you, you call us a, it's so it's going to be very, very messy for now to the north african nation of libya, where the countries, eastern government has ordered foreign journalists to evacuate from the flood ravaged city of there. now, after a violent protest broke out against the local administration. so this video circulating on social media shows the mayor's residents in, during a being set on fire by protesters. most of the flooding occurred when to dams lives to mid torrential rain after a hurricane. like storm in the mediterranean, demonstrators se authorities did not do enough to secure the facilities. we heard from olivia and journalist who says the government is currently blocking the internet to prevent people from organizing for their protests. the internet's winds up on them. also bio signal is off and that's according to official statements, has nobody's an adult. what's some media coverage from there?

supporting the officials in the east said that it's because of health considerations, yet. health officials, yesterday night i've just such announcements happened, spoke to many libyan tv channels, saying that there is no evidence of any disease surprising getting down there. also we have no internet connection. so we are afraid about our people inside the city was no ability to reach out to the officer world. that's specially after what happened yesterday. and then no protest, demanding accountability for officials who had any hands in that situation that's happened in the city concerning the floods. and they use these aspects of and we believe that officials right now, i'm trying to control the narrative going out of the city by hiding information,

by cutting any link of that in there to the outer world. and by making it again, a black hole where everything inside is unknown, the u. n. has put the death toll from the flooding of nearly 4000 the people of the report say the figure could be closer to 11000 a number of countries including rush. i have sent aid to libya for the disaster relief efforts. the country's government, which was divided into several rival factions, and that the chaos following the nato intervention in 2011. just trying to help people affected by the disaster as booked 1st and for the libyan and national army reiterated that locals blamed the current government for the chaos and destruction . but after the c, a, c, a or for political circles, and all those who make themselves out to be politicians in all parts of the country have fallen in the face of this catastrophe. as soon as it happens and people learn the number of casualties, the entirety of libya, rallies and all political barriers were overcome. our military units arrived at the

epicenter of the disaster a few days ago. some politicians are now trying to weaken the media and public criticism in their direction and take advantage of the situation. libyans continued to be vocal in their criticism. they criticized the government in tripoli. they criticized the politicians and the policies that were implemented in the country and led to its destruction. some countries wanted to save individual politicians and sent their journalists, whom we received and who went to deer now. but they broadcast the opinions of analysts and ministers in an attempt to reduce the pressure from society on certain individuals. especially in defense minister segregation. i do have said washington's pressure won't get in the way of rapidly expanding military cooperation between moscow into ron. he made the remarks during a visit to a ron where russia's high profile delegation was welcomed by the country's top

military commanders. this and so we are seeking the implementation of the entire range of planned activities despite the opposition from the united states and its west and allies, the sanctions pressure, and russia and nevada showing its futility. well, russian knew it in interaction is reaching new levels, russia and a well on the, to the size of, on our very close in terms of military cooperation. and now i show it goes with a to that one is expected to give it a new boost. now, well show you arrived dcf, on, on tuesday, at the head of a high ranking military delegation comprising top military officials from several branches of the russian armed forces. the aim is to expand ties, military ties with their bonds, a well the 2 sides. of course, this caused a host of regional issues including got this situation in syria, afghanistan, and the recent escalation and being a gardener dispute, and they go in

a car buck region between armenia and azerbaijan work which lies very close to it was north western borders and that is why one has been beefing up security a long it's north western borders and trying to deploy its troops and military equipment. there are but more importantly, in his visit with winey and military officials. senior iranian military commanders expressed their country's desire to engage more closely with russia. the 2 sides are now expected to hold a joints naval exercise in their one's uh, southern territorial waters and north of the indian ocean. this as of the chief of staff of the ones armed forces mohammed ball r e also pointed out in a code show he goes remarks about the west saying that the uni poll or world view is now headache hitting the wall and is facing a did. and this is while he invited other wash and navy to start patrolling airlines territorial waters in north of the indian ocean after the around the ramp

up that planned joins naples. well, i have, well, i have to get that job as a result of the changes that have taken place on the planet. everyone has noticed that the arrow for unipolar world, for which the american stand has reached a dead end. the world is entering a new stage where a multiple or world over the reins. i ran and rush. i have similar positions. we have a proposal for you to conduct the joint patrols in the northern parts of the indian ocean off to the neville exercises in february 2024. overall, the visit by showing go to iran seems to be fruitful for now, and it is the 2nd and final day of his stay into one and he will, he's expected to visit more senior iranian officials, a lot seems to be going on between the military's of iran and rush off the 2 sides are now it's expected to a forge, closer and stronger ties in the military and security areas. now this is going on while the new york is hosting the un general assembly where it was president

abraham, right. you see also did over the speech of saying that the western head, germany, is now losing its grip on the world while accusing washington of feeling the flames of violence in ukraine by pumping teeth with a weapons and trying to pro long the russian ukrainian war. so it won't, and russia has been both have been both facing a severe and one of the historic and most of the harshest, of course, sanctions around and wishing by otherwise then on top of the west, the united states. and this seems to be uniting both nations that both nations are now believing that closer ties in all areas from the military sector to security and even economy will create a counter force to those western pressures. and as part by get ronnie and officials and russian officials, this will create a back door for them to neutralize and circumvent the western sanctions. and as pointed out today by the iranian military officials and yesterday,

by it runs chiefs, i thought it was on forces mohammed bowery. he said that it is the firm belief and the opinion of the islamic republic to build closer ties with russia. and that is why he said that the 2 countries are now working to draft a long term cooperation document that will forge stronger ties in all fields between restaurant and iran in the field of economy, security and military. all right, that's all for me for now. but do stay with us. my colleague, nicky aaron, will be in next with more of the day stuff, new stories and just about half an hour's time by the

take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify. it will confuse who really wants a better will's image, just as a chosen few fractured images, presented to this. but can you see through their illusion going underground, can the russian states never as tight as one of the most sense community best. most all sense and up in the system

must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin mission, the state on russia to day and split the ortiz full. even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube tv services. for what question did you say to stephen twist, which is the

hello and welcome to cross talk or hall things are considered. i'm peter level. as kids counter offensive grinds to a halt, nato says the west must prepare for a long war nato's goal. according to woodside smelt and birds is russia's military defeat. this is a policy choice, introduce ukraine, paying the price for such a craving decision. the cross talking nato and to crane, i'm joined by my guess, daniel mcadams, in lake jackson. he is the executive director of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity in one washington. we have them are liam. he is a political scientist, author and radio talk show host, and in brunswick we have bruce gag. now. he is the coordinator of the global network against weapons and nuclear power in space, right? sounding cross talk roles and the fact that music can jump any time you want. and i always appreciates.
