Line. Biden stands with the unions and tells protesters in detroit they deserve the pay rise they are striking for. This is life from paris. Live from paris. Thank you very much for being with us. We start with the latest from nagornokarabakh. The United States secretary of state Antony Blinken demanded civilians be protected. I will, there are hours of traffic jams as thousands try to cross the border meanwhile, there are hours of traffic jams. At the border between armenia and azerbaijan, cars and trucks arrived one by one, packed with displaced families fleeing nagornokarabakh. At the border, people anxiously wait for their relatives to arrive. How can we go back . Our carob our karabakh will no longer exist. There is no help from any country. No country speaks for us. Exhausted from their journey, they register with the red cross inside these tents before heading to towns across the region. This Mountain Town has welcomed thousands of refugees. The local theater is being used as a temporary shelter, but it is only a transit point. Many are lost, not knowing where to go next, still in shock and grieving over what theyve left behind. We took our children and left our homes to come here, to find refuge, a new home. Our nation has been sold by a government that does not know what its doing. The armenia government says it is prepared to take in 40,000 displaced families. Charity groups are working roundtheclock to help meet this target. The situation is quite difficult. They are arriving like a vlad of refugees and im not sure of your country is quite ready for that. Humanitarian aid will become more urgent as authorities suspect an influx of refugees in the coming days. Mark the u. S. State Department Says the capital of azerbaijan told them that civilians will be kept safe in nagornokarabakh. There is concern for the armenian population cementing 20,000 before the attack was launched a week ago. Since then, many have managed to flee. U. S. Secretary of state Antony Blinken came to get assurance that these people, ones who are left or trying to leave, will be safe from further military action. We, of course, watching for all developments on that story. Next, at least two deaths confirmed as russia struck ukraines black sea region of odessa where a grand warehouse was hit by a russian drone. The attack also burned out dozens of trucks. Russian forces targeted an area in the odessa region in what became a sustained campaign to target ukraines ability to export grain. Filmed from fara, this amateur video shows the moment a drone strike hit close to the border between ukraine and nato member romania. [speaking another language] in a fresh overnight attack, dozens of drones were launched by moscow. Operations were temporarily suspended at the Border Crossing checkpoint in an attack lasting two hours, local officials were building storage facilities, and more than 30 trucks and cars were damaged while at least two people were injured. Ukrainian military reported shooting down 26 of the 38 drones. A day earlier, this nonresidential area of odessa, ukraines largest port, was targeted. The countrys president promised to strike back. We will retaliate against russia for every strike against our cities and villages. Odessas Regional Governor said the facilities that were hit contained almost a 1000 tons of grain after a deal with moscow in july that guaranteed safe transfer of grain, ukraine stepped up its exports. Moscow has since intensified air attacks on ukrainian ports on the danube. Mark the kremlin said this tuesday that u. S. Abrams tanks supplied to ukraine would burn. The reaction comes after kyiv received a shipment from the United States. From ukraines perspective, the text give their forces the tanks give their forces an advantage on the ground. It is a most welcome delivery for kyiv. U. S. Abrams battle tanks that president zelenskyy says will boost ukraines forces in their counteroffensive. Kyiv has previously said it needs at least 300 western tanks, but it has so far received roughly half that number. The former French Air Force chief of staff said the batch of tanks delivered are not the best in the inventory, but nevertheless, an added capability for ukraine. It is not so effective, less well protected than the new versions. It is much, much better than nothing and definitely better than the old type of soviet tank they had. The delivery comes after the u. S. Pledged longrange attack missiles. Washingtons decisions have unlocked decisions from several european nations, but the kremlin says the supplies from western allies will not change the tide in kyivs favor. All this in no way affects the special military operation or its outcome. Abrams tanks are a serious weapon. Remember how the president spoke about other tanks made in other western countries. Like those, these, too, will burn. It remains unclear how long it could be until the abrams are sent to the battlefield. The time for ukrainian troops to decide when and where the vehicles will be most effective. Mark Russias Defense Ministry published images reported to show its fleet leader a day after kyiv said he had been killed. Sevastopol was the city that was struck. But several of in uniform here was shown via video link taking part in a meeting presided over by the defense secretary. In Ministry Statement said the meeting had taken place earlier in the day but did not name several of did not name sokoloff. We will watch developments. Striking car workers in detroit with the backing of joe biden himself. The u. S. President showing up in person on their picket line to tell them to stick with it because they deserve the pay rise they are seeking from General Motors. The strike, which is on its 12 day, received unprecedented president ial backing. Meanwhile, bidens budget problems intensified. If the budget is not approved by congress, the aid package by ukraine, workers may not get paid and welfare checks may not be issued. I think the uaw gave up an incredible amount, and they saved the automobile industry, and i think that now that the industry is roaring back, they should take part. Joining us now, david smith, editor of the guardian newspaper. Great to see you. David joe biden became the first u. S. President to visit strikers on the picket line. He has styled himself as a very prounion president. He spent about 15 minutes there, it was pretty short but symbolic. One of the key quotations from joe biden today, he said wall street didnt build this country. The middle built this country and unions build the middle class. He told the workers to stick with it. The leader of the uaw described it as an historic moment and said they were glad to get president ial support even though the union has not normally endorsed joe biden yet not formally endorsed joe biden yet. Biden wants to pursue electric vehicles as part of his climate policy, and that does concern some unions, so there is a balancing act politically and economically. If this strike drags on, it could affect the economy, and president tend to get blamed for a bad economy. Mark indeed, it is a very front situation. Wonder what biden thinks he stands to gain by doing this. Of course, General Motors is the company in question, is not it . Biden from the beginning, part of his identity has been his bluecollar working background bluecollar working class background. This particular state, michigan, is a real electoral battleground. It has flipped back and forth between obama and trump and then biden. I think joe bidens visit today partly spurred by the knowledge donald trump is expected to visit tomorrow. The Union Leaders do not like donald trump, but some of those workers will probably attend the trump rally. Bidens message is he is on the side of the workers even though General Motors and other Automobile Companies have been allies of his on his climate agenda. Mark can you give us a take on the budget . The deadline is approaching, october 1, with plenty of applications, not just for military aid for ukraine but also for federal workers and those relying on welfare. It is looking grim. Most experts, most people on capitol hill think the Government Shutdown is more likely than not, that the hard right wing of the Republican Party generally aligned with donald trump, seem to be wielding a shutdown as a political hammer. They are willing to burn it all down. The House Speaker is trying to get several votes to go forward. From the white house, you are hearing warnings that perhaps personnel will not get paid, will have to work without pay which will come later. It will be very damaging for the American Economy and americas reputation which is now starting to get that air of stability. For the fourth time in a decade, america is headed for a shutdown. Mark thank you for giving us that briefing on the situation in the u. S. A flashlight in mexico has left at least eight people dead. Officials say heavy rains turned a Mountain Stream into a torrent of muddy water that swept away villages. Mud and debris, the aftermath of a deadly flashlight in mexicos western state. Officials say heavy rains turned and Mountain Stream into a torrent of water that swept away villagers. The bodies of several people were recovered. Search and rescue teams have been looking through the night for those still missing. My motherinlaw, fatherinlaw, brotherinlaw, and sisterinlaw were swept away. The bodies of my brotherinlaw and motherinlaw are still missing. We hope to find them. Local Officials Say deforestation in the area could have contributed to the dangerous flash flooding. Mexico is no stranger to tropical storms and heavy rains, but Scientists Say Climate Change is increasing the risks from these weather systems, making their impact more severe and dangerous. Mark time for business. Amazon sued by the u. S. Antitrust regulators for abusing its market power, hurting other businesses and consumers. Tell us more. Yes, wall street hitting the heart of amazons ecommerce business. His is the most significant legal challenges brought against the ecommerce giant. The federal trade commission was joined by 17 u. S.

Antitrust regulators said amazon had forced sellers of its marketplace not to lower prices on other platforms while charging them exorbitant fees to use it service. It also said amazon prioritizes its own brands over other brands and are to be a better quality. Over other brands it knew to be of better quality.

Shares in Chinas Evergrande fell 8 on tuesday following a 21 drop the day before. The market hammering came after the countrys main domestic unit defaulted on its payment of 4 billion yuans, slightly over 500,000 euros. Multiple current and former executives of evergrande are reported to have been arrested, including the groups former ceo as well as the previous chief financial. Here in france, around 60 members of the Railway Union stormed the ministry of ecological transition to protest against proposed reform of the National Rail companies and freight unit. Protesters made their way into the building and stayed there for a few minutes. The incident came as unions staged a strike against the governments decision to dismantle the company and create a new private firm. The announcement earlier this year was in response to the european commissions accusation that the laws have been making company had been receiving government aid in violation of eu competition rules. Striking workers denounce the fine as social sabotage. Today, theres a simple way to go green, and thats to go all in, and is not by privatizing it. It is not by cutting 500 jobs, and not by cutting the wages of the public freight operator. Thats what we came to tell the minister of ecology. Finally, sick leave in britain has risen to the highest level in years and well above prepandemic levels. Workers took on average 7. 86 sick days over the past year according to a new study. That was two days more than the covid crisis and mark the highest since 2008. Stress was found to be one of the leading factors. The jump in sick leave is adding to the headaches of employers already facing labor shortages. It is probably not just in britain, this problem, stress leading to more sick leave. Mark you said it, and i think you are probably right. Great to see you. Lets cross the studio for truth or fake. A marketing stunt for a tv Program Going viral. Tell us more about what this actually is, what is involved. Netflixs new season for Sex Education was just released on the platform last week, and for those not familiar, it is a british teen Comedy Series that follows various personal dilemmas of teenagers and adults, dilemmas that often have to do with sexual intimacy. For the last season of the series, netflix has gone viral for its latest marketing stunt. This giant condom that would have been installed in the winter cyrus buenos aires obelisk. There is a legend publicity stunt created many mixed feelings on the online community. Some work all for it while others not so much. This user says, how do you explain this to a three to sixyearold child . Others also said this was a total lack of respect. Who in the world approved this . This giant condom was also all over local and International News where they discussed the controversy. Mark ok, so, did netflix actually do this . Well, yes and no. This is a real advertisement produced by netflix for the new and final season of their show, but this scene was never filmed in real life. What we actually see is a cgi image. Many users did nonetheless share this video as real without specifying. This obviously leaves the door open to misinterpretation. There is a real difference between a post like this and a post like this that does specify in the caption that this is a computergenerated image. How were we actually able to verify this was cgi . Always go back to the source. You will find the original video posted by an official netflix account based in argentina. While they dont mention in the caption that this is a cgi, you can click this little man on the far right to see who has been tagged in the video, and they tagged this company right here called vertex cgi that is an agency that specializes in visual effects and animation for promotional purposes, a company that is based in the united arab emirates. This would not be the first time this type of cgi publicity stunt has fooled the online community. Just recently back in july, this video of a giant barbie dell walking in dubai also went viral and was confused as real. This was made for the movie barbie, but was also in reality cgi. Mark thats got to be the biggest part read anyone has ever seen. Cgi, of course, is what has been used, but it has been done in real life is that true . Indeed. In the year 2005 when the government argentina actually covered the buenos aires obelisk with a giant pink condom as part of the worlds a day prevention campaign. This is not the first time.
