Restrictions. There is sunday here on r. T. And that means taking you through some of the biggest stories weve covered here over the past 7 days because some of sundays developments to bring you up to speed 1st on our breaking news from the caucasus both armenia and azerbaijan have declared martial law after heavy fighting again erupted between the neighboring countries and a decades old territorial dispute. Has called on the armenian Prime Minister to put all efforts into preventing any escalation of the conflict over the region. This Defense Ministry video reportedly shows as opposed to army tanks being attacked by Armenian Armed forces armenia claim 16 of its soldiers were killed in the clashes. These shots have been published by the azerbaijan Defense Ministry claiming that they show the destruction of the Armenian Military hardware smoke can be seen. Living across the area we asked journalists from armenia and azerbaijan to update us. Our Prime Minister has announced that army in the neighborhood is going to do anything to keep people of the we know there is a show floor in armenia so. We are going out right now most of the people. Most of the men who are living in armenia willing to go through that if they put their homeland security. Who. Coalition of the conflict their special position because jonna government is the i mean in the forces launched a large provocations they fired extensively at the positions of those about johnny army along the entire front line and residential settlements at the front was out they breached the citys fire once again in several directions and the baton army was forced to counterattack we have injured civilians killed infrastructure has been seriously damaged the minister of defense has announced that such an army is continuing its Successful Campaign in the conflicts in the going to cutback dates back to the 1990 s. And its been repeated clashes between the sides thats despite a major ceasefire being signed back in 1994 dont quarter has more on how the conflict unfolded it all started sunday morning when we saw this sudden renewal of hostilities between azerbaijan and armenia in the disputed region of nagornokarabakh thats located in the caucasus region which is just south of russia who is to blame both yerevan and baku are accusing each other of being entirely responsible for these renewed hostilities and theyre both vowing serious military retaliation as well. As actions on the prison its actually being made on positions military equipment has been destroyed. Our response will be as tough as ever there are many an army has all the necessary means to crush our enemy again now weve already heard that infantry armored in air forces and artillery batteries have been deployed by both sides in this conflict and theyve already engaged in fighting with conflicting casualty reports now in response the Regional Government in nagornokarabakh has declared martial law and general conscription of all males over and over the age of 18 well its important to understand that all this is the continuation of a decades long conflict 25 people have died in skirmishes between the 2 countries since the beginning of 2020 alone and since 2015 over 200 have been killed or injured the fighting even goes back to even before the fall of the soviet union. And. Turkey immediately threw its support behind azerbaijan at the beginning of this latest conflict we heard from ankaras president ial Spokes Person who said that azerbaijan will not be alone but russias foreign minister Sergey Lavrov he had a bit of a different take on the situation he said that there needs to be or there needs to be a ceasefire and a return to negotiations aimed at stabilizing the situation here we also heard from the head of the European Council who had who has said basically the same thing cease fire and return to negotiations although this latest conflict its rapidly developing so its still unclear what path its going to take but another reaction the International Community including nato and the e. U. According to. Sides to end the escalation and return to negotiations often russia analyst Martin Mccauley says its down to armenia and azerbaijan alone to resolve their differences. Its up to the general staff the government knows about john and me to decide when you talk a little the maximalist their military thats our territory we want it back as a result you know its our territory we want to control it so therefore its a situation which unfortunately has now given us the right to more conflict and they want to have their view and they want to ensure that they will from their point of view move straight forward you dissolve because now theyre wasting resources which are likely needed for the development of their country and their economies and you can see this to them of what they say we must defend.

This is very real sense of deja vu about the last couple of weeks certainly lots of your days it feels like a lot sure over again the beginning of march when the numbers of new cases began to double every 2 or 3 days so the real problem the fundamental problem at the moment is how do you wish trust because we finished with drastic measures when we shouldnt have to have drastic measures if we take people on this tough journey from the beginning well what we have to do is get really properly put the local and regional authorities the local governments arent the local Public Health directors in charge that is stead of stirring actually literally billions of panels at these private companies to lloyds and serco and others who. Sailing to deliver the test and trace shouldnt people getting results after several days by which time theyve infected other people. Into local Public Health teams and rebuilding them very quickly.

Hello again postelection unrest continues to rumble on sunday against protesters flooding the streets of the capital as they continue to accuse president bush of stealing victory 100 people have been detained reporting from town of. Both several 1000 people have gathered in the capital of better roasts men scanned this is the 1st mass protest since the inauguration of Alexander Lukashenko it was branded by the opposition by the coordinates as as a peoples inauguration and it was meant to show that the current government is not enjoying the mass support of the by the russian people of the public and so far i have to say that up to 10000 maybe have showed up here to make their voices heard but really i have to say the number from where we are and its a good Vantage Point the number of protesters looks small and it looks like fewer people showed up than even last sunday and really the opposition to have their say to show what they wanted to show the opposition needed that number but to a power of 10 now this protest comes to the tune of western powers not recognizing the outcome of the elections pulling Alexander Lukashenko to resign and some nations even outright recognizing. The example a question whose main rival at the elections as the real president of belarus. Here is what emanuel mccrone the french president had to say it is a crisis of power a north or a chair in power that cannot accept the logic of democracy and which is hanging on by force it is clear that look has to go now this statement along with many others comes as the Foreign Ministry of belarus calls and all western nations to stop meddling in the countrys affairs and 3 she will lead the better russian people decide who their leader really is no just to remind you Alexander Lukashenko was inaugurated back on wednesday it was a rather unconventional event i have to say because it wasnt announced it came as a surprise to everybody the opposition included some even called it a secret inauguration with only a few 100 people invited and it was not broadcast live on national t. V. So since then the coordinators of the opposition have been trying to consolidate the protest calling on people to show up and must but that failed on wednesday right after the inauguration even though they tried then they asked they called on the better russian women to gather on saturday that was thats a weekly event but instead of what used to be thousands of better russian women marching throughout the capital till dusk only a few 100 people showed up yesterday for a couple of hours today a lot of people moved people thousands of people showed up but still the numbers. Are the numbers of the if there are fewer people in the streets than it was a week ago because down of the there was also concern flagged earlier this week over some by the russian opposition tactics including the publishing of names and addresses of thousands of Police Officers more on that next for america.

The same people youre supposed to protect and she doesnt seem to mind that these vigilantes are often wrong going after innocent people she doesnt seem to mind that not just them but also their families become the victims of Cyber Bullying and harassment and abuse and even attacks and it doesnt seem to concern her that it isnt just police or Law Enforcement that are targeted but also rescuers teachers and even journalists.

To be. Journalists to one of our road constantine but if the by law for example who has faced a tsunami of Death Threats at the behest of all position media discuss their own of course it is frightening i dont know whats going through their heads someone from the opposition texted me in telegram saying look after yourself or a brick will find your head but at least hes just texting there could be someone else who will actually pick up a brick if they want me to go away then yes i will leave someday but not because of them not because of a text or a phone call another journalist had his car torched off the activists posted the picture of the vehicle on telegram with government insignia lose behind the pictures the veiled threats the Fear Campaign aimed at anyone who disagrees with the aim to tens of thousands of better russians dont suffer from sleepless nights doesnt bother them they laugh it off look at the car still to look at behind this is that they are afraid of revealing who they really are that is what would hurt them the most of these like 21st century bullets yes information bullets these blacklists and terror campaigns all doing in the open. Shouldnt anything avers those thousands already in the least only more determined to prevent the vigilantes and bullies from coming to power if they do things like these such horrific things now and laugh about it what more they do when they come to power and ordinary belorussians too they didnt sign up for this they dont want the nation divided into leesten castes the unclean and the blessid opposition that it shows the more radical and hateful the oppositions message the fewer turn up to their protests the. U. S. Taxpayers money here marked by staff of the pentagon protective equipment against covert was apparently funneled into the hands of private defense contractors according to a report in the Washington Post this Week Congress this year gave the Defense Department a 1000000000. 00 to battle the coronavirus but the Washington Post claims that most of that money went instead to ship Building Maintenance our uniforms satellites drones and even space surveillance that cash was supposed to address funding gaps in the countrys covert 19 response with the United States of course suffering the highest number of cases in the world and it comes amid serious anti coronavirus shortages in the country as well the centers for disease controls warned that an additional 6000000000. 00 would be needed to distribute potential vaccines next year and says theres a severe lack of high quality face masks but the pentagon has doubled down on its move insisting that National Defense must come 1st. We are thankful that congress provided authorities and resources that enable the executive branch to invest in Domestic Production of critical medical resources and protect key defense capabilities from the consequences of curve it we need to always remember that economic and National Security a very tightly integrated and our Industrial Base is really the nexus of the 2 preventative medicine Professor William schaffner believes that the spending scandal goes all the way to the top levels of power. Obviously we would have preferred those monies go to code relief i would think that this decision to spend the money not on the cold it defense budget. On forces was made at a very high level clearly the diversion of these fossils from the Public Health programs of the United States is very misguided i would think that the appropriate congressional committees would do an investigation to find out why this happened and to correct this if a 1000000000. 00 was misused we had better look to the rest also to see how those monies were expended the distribution of the vaccine is going to be our next major effort here in the United States to stop or to do some control so cold that problem and all of those things will require funding it means that the congress of the United States has to hold the executive branch to account they have to be absolutely. Very attentive to how these monies allocated for good purposes are being spent and thats the waking for this out in the way in the public way in the u. S.
