In a sort of a t. V. Address french president emanuel. New lockdown was necessary because frances Health Situation had deteriorated rapidly. Want to play this even more departed because of what we learned in spring just knocked down will be adapted schools will stay open and work can continue visits will be permitted to Retirement Homes but as in the spring you can only leave home to work for a medical visit to help someone for essential shopping or exercise in the home of the.

Not for months the government and president of urged people in france to live as normally as possible with the virus but these new restrictions reveal just are subtle and thing that really is. A government a strike to navigate a delicate process try to find if i could go in terms of focusing more on. The situation we are in now is a result of this precarious balance. The fact that the new restrictions come less than 2 weeks after a night time curfew was imposed on most of the country could indicate that the government failed to anticipate the scale of the emergency for some a new lockdown could have been avoided by others it was inevitable either way few would have imagined that they would be forced to stay at home again so soon.

It was the worst attack on civilians yet on either side since the conflict began a month ago the city of barda hit by what as a by john describes a smirch missiles as there is also accuse armenia of using cluster bombs to inflict maximum damage in a densely populated area of the city. I mean it denied carrying out the attack the 2nd in less than 24 hours aimed at civilians in barga 2 years old child was among the victims the city now is home to hundreds of people who fled the conflict zone in the karabakh region. Both sides have been exchanging fire despite 3 attempts in as many weeks to impose a humanitarian ceasefire as area forces are also accused of aiming at civilian targets the Maternity Ward of a hospital in step and i craved was hit although there are no reports of casualties there as here but john is imposing itself on the battlefield regaining territory and inflicting heavy losses on armenia with more than a 1000 soldiers killed this video released by his or by jan is said to show Armenian Military equipment captured during the fighting.

The people of salk the armenian people all armenians will fight to the last for every tree every stone every centimeter and every millimeter. An accurate counterattack delivered at the right moment will have the effect of a devastating collapse for the enemy but at the moment i mean your peers unable to stop the advance of the as airy military in districts surrounding the. President ilham aliyev warned that his response will come on the battlefield now both Foreign Ministers of president john and i mean you are scheduled to meet separately with the mens group on thursday in geneva there might be yet another attempt to impose a ceasefire that never was but it will prove even more difficult the barred attack marking a serious escalation but at that hamid. And rory challenge has more capital. Obviously has been a grim day the worst for civilians it seems in this conflict so far the armenians have deny that they attacked shelled but the pictures obviously tell a different story the all mediums are saying that it is they who have been the victim of shelling today in my car back that the capital the main city in going to cataracts to kind of being attacked and that the main hospital there has been badly hit particularly the maternity wing of it no casualties as far as we are aware in that incident but they have also said the armenians that. The city of shushi has been attacked as well and that one civilian died in that rocket attack but i think that calling it and to were injured now. Is saying that this is a continuation of what hes calling a genocidal policy against the civilians of going to karabakh the armenians of nagornokarabakh perhaps this is the kind of thing that we might see more of as as both sides gets increasingly embittered increasingly desperate perhaps that attacks on civilian centers are going to increase as well.

M. T. On a fast day and live on the 5th. Now the tech the heads of tech giants in the u. S. Have been grilled by about how they moderate content the c. E. O. Of Facebook Google and twice a day before a Senate Committee its discussing whether to reform rules that protect the companies from being held liable for uses posts democrats say there needs to be stronger action of misinformation and republicans accuse some platforms of censoring conservative voices in a freak is the chief Technology Correspondent for access she says senators got up and partisan fighting and failed to talk about the real issues. Today was exactly what happens when you schedule a hearing a week or less before the end of an election cycle you get a lot of you know partisan talk now that happens any time that were discussing these issues because it is viewed really differently by democrats and republicans but i think today we got even less into the issues around content moderation and really each side just trying to hammer home what it sees as an attempt to interfere in the election republicans see facebook and twitter as trying to throw the election to the democrats and the democrats see the republicans as using these allegations of bias to try and put their hand on the table if you will tilt the scale toward their favor so this was largely a partisan or almost exclusively a partisan exercises i think it is really important when we look at this free speech is really about the government regulating speech private companies have a right to set their own policies in the u. S. And in fact it never comes up but we have a far right sites far left sites and you dont really hear much because they dont have a lot of scale so no one is complaining that they have a bias obviously facebook and twitter have tremendous reach and it is important how they moderate it but its not about free speech so much as it is what are the rules and whats allowed and whats protected section 230. 00 which comes up at all these hearings gives extra protection to publishers and a lot of people feel like those protections should be limited and that criticism comes from both sides of the aisle just for different reasons.
