It is occupying the region will return to peace and. The west is getting ever more deeply involved in the political crisis thats gripping bellary says the french president makes the countrys exiled Opposition Leader and agrees to mediate a negotiation. Those 2020 hopefuls donald trump and joe biden will be clashing in their 1st president ial debate ahead of novembers election the voters appear to our trouble telling their policies apart. Good morning and thanks for joining us here on our. Decades old territorial dispute has seen its most serious flare up since a truce was established back in 1904 violence erupted between the nations of armenia and azerbaijan on sunday morning with both the nagornokarabakh region. Reports are coming in now from the disputed area about air strikes being carried out that correspond to get standoff that is currently in the capital of. Tells us that air raid sirens can be heard across the city locals have also been advised to take cover in basements earlier eager filed this report. This is the city of step on the capital of the disputed nagornokarabakh autonomy and well we are filming in infrared here because this is one of the darkest places on earth all street lights have been switched off residents people who are living here or are also trying not to turn on any unnecessary lights it is a disguised tactic a smog blackout if i may say so and it is done to make bombing this place more difficult and it is being bombed for the 1st time since 1992 on our way here we actually tried counting all the ambulances that were rushing outside the city and while we lost count on 25 it was simply too many that as columns of military hardware were rolling into the city now according to military officials here more than 80 people have been killed here during the clashes. Like this is a life and death struggle and we will win it and be sure of that we are fighting the turkish Azerbaijani Forces on a large scale war is underway maybe tomorrow we will have to retreat or launch an offensive but we must be prepared for more difficult and long to still ities both armenian leaders and the as there by john the leaders have been blaming each other for the escalation for instigating this conflict the warring parties here make no distinction if its the light of day or the darkness of night it seems the fighting doesnt stop for a minute and well we will be staying here bringing you all the latest including from the front lines. Well fighting in the going to come about has been escalating with both sides reporting increasing civilian and military casualties amid violent clashes. I am going to car back is one of several border disputes left over from the collapse of the soviet union the republic seceded from azerbaijan in 1988 and declared itself independent however the enclave predominantly populated by armenians is not why did recognized as an independent state. We all journalists from International Media organizations are waiting for permission to enter and report from azerbaijan among them our correspondent whos currently in turkey. Well theres been a problem with gaining entry to as it were john weve made repeated requests to the authorities that the government in azerbaijan to grant us access entry to the country to cover the conflict unfortunately these requests hasnt been 2 a response whatsoever weve heard of in direct you to sort of excuses about them urgency that has been declared in azerbaijans and we may see a reversal a reversal it we are hoping for to be able to gain entry and gain a permit accreditation to work in azerbaijan otherwise there has been another day of escalation many more dead reported on both sides the latest is that rajon has released a new video showing many soldiers of the god knickerbocker and union apparently armenian soldiers killed in the action the days action there we will succeed of course many videos and photos it really does seem like a tremendous escalation and weve got to say now it is very difficult at this stage to verify any of these videos theres been reports of old videos being posted many many fake news stories as well nevertheless theres been a growing chorus an International Chorus cooling the both sides to cease hostilities if the International Community is resoundingly say from from the u. N. Which is called for an immediate halt to violence from the European Union for the United States russia iran and neighboring iran has come out and said this is no good that both sides should stop and dialogue is the unity of option noticeably missing from from these says this huge chorus is turkey where we are now president edouard has taken a very hard line on the conflict and he has thrown his support in behind the as that of a johnny side. John talk i once again condemn a media who attacked the sword on sunday turkey will continue to stand by its friend and brother in azerbaijan by all means and with all its heart it is time to bring an end to the regional crisis started with the occupation of karabakh. Immediately leave the territory it is occupying the region will return to peace and harmony the president said about john leave has said that the only way forward is to ease by the 1993 Un Resolution regarding the garlic or about which recognized many parts of it is occupied by army and forces and i live has said that that is the only way for armenian soldiers and they go to the breakaway states forces to to withdraw and to give up control over the area to to is there by john this is an ancient conflict there has been much blood spilled in this in these war and i was there in 2016 when there was another flare up another escalation of the hostilities fortunately it ended in a matter of days but it was again brutal judging by what ive seen so far the footage that weve seen the casualty lists reported by both sides this is even worse than what happened when we were there in 2016. Martin sum is a writer an independent journalist told us more about the underlying reasons behind the complaint. Doesnt sound from the rhetoric thats coming out of either side that either side are particularly keen to talk. And you know this would be a problematic conflict even without outside forces potentially being drawn in on both sides the escalation were seeing today is a bit of a mystery because it seems sort of blown up out of a blue sky but theyll see the conflict itself goes back to the ninetys initially and also of course to the drawing a bone drees between azerbaijan and elmina during the soviet period and previously what you had in this situation is a situation where nagornokarabakh was effectively independence of as a by john armenia obviously help their fellow citizens as they saw as in karabakh during the conflict in the ninetys even if you cant come to a final conclusion about who who gets what base of the party as long as people arent being killed then thats thats good and you know for many years that has been the case here and certainly no longer the case. The getting ever more involved in the internal affairs of french president among the micron is just met with the belarusian Opposition Leaders for lana to come off ska lets find out more now from our paris correspondent joins me on the line now take us through then do we know what was discussed. What we know that the 2 met in the lithuanian capital thats because the opposition belorussian leader is there in selfimposed exile and president macron is there on a state visit we understand that she asked for support for fresh elections in belarus and she called for united european support in the guards it to change for the country now following that meeting she gave a brief sound bite to reporters in which she said that france is. Emanuel much corn president emanuel much corn had agreed to act as a mediator. He promised to ever of him to help us with negotiations youre in this political crisis in our country and he will do everything to help us to secure the release of all Political Prisoners well this of course follows a disputed president ial elections in belarus which have seen widespread protests in the weeks following that some say that she was the spark behind some of those protests there will be a question if perhaps president macron is the right person to mediate in this situation given that he has made his views about belarusian president alexander. Very well known and on the one hand president has talked about the fact he doesnt want to see foreign interference in belarus on the other hand he says he has supported or does support the idea of sanctions on the country. Opposition is very clear we do not recognize the election of president lukashenko and therefore we dont recognize his status as president. That is soon as possible and i hope we can take the necessary sanctions on but also reengage in indispensable mediation. There are diverging opinions on whats happening in belarus for example russia has given its backing to the new term of Lucas Shanker president putin saying that the changes that have been put forward to the constitution reforms in the future have been outright rejected by Opposition Leaders the e. U. Meanwhile has says it doesnt support whats happening in belarus it in fact called the new gratian of president lukashenko being something that was lacking any democratic legitimacy its also described the protesters out on the streets as being brave didnt it to as suggested that it wants fresh elections now president matt corn has said president lukashenko must go hes been pretty clear about that but presently she has hit back saying if that is president mcconnells logic then perhaps he too should have stepped down during the yellow vests protests. What is happening in baton rouge is a power crisis a north or a cherry in power they can accept the logic of democracy which is hanging on by force it is clearly has to leave based on the principles of mr macro himself following his own logic he should have resigned 2 years ago when the yellow vests started to appear on the streets of paris as an experienced politician to an immature one i want to advise mr micron to look around less and instead finally deal with the internal affairs of france. Well spent long enough sky gets quite a lot of support it seems from europe and that meeting with president perhaps marks a change for her but we do understand that later this week belarus will be one of the hot issues of discussion at a european leaders meeting where they will be discussing whether they should be placing sanctions on the country. Reporting for us from paris with the latest thank you. It is round one of the u. S. President ial debates coming up on tuesday night for the 2 main heavyweight candidates they will clash over several issues and while their performance will be hampered slightly by new covert rules theres been plenty of trash talking head of the fight in the morgan has the build up. In the year of covidien out with the old and in with the new when it comes to president ial debates there will be no handshake between the 2 candidates there will be no Live Audience there will just be 2 president ial contenders going head to head in front of t. V. Cameras but aside from the staging everything looks to be pretty normal donald trump is revving up his old insult comedy routine accusing joe biden of having Poor Mental Health and being doped up i would be strongly demanding a drug test of sleepy job i didnt try it too often the debate on tuesday night naturally only agreed to take one also his debate performances have been record setting uneven to put it mildly only drugs could have caused this discrepancy now the biden camp is taking down old trump quite literally and demanding a drug test meanwhile biden is certainly not short of a bargain or 2 he has just compared donald trump to hitlers chief propagandist you know he says sort of like goebbels you say its a lie long enough keep repeating repeating repeating it becomes Common Knowledge when it comes to trading blows in the debates biden hopes they will be verbal rather than physical at least this time now the 1st debate is going to cover just a few major issues youve got coded the u. S. Supreme court racism violence and Election Integrity but can anyone really tell the difference between the 2 major candidates. Probably think truth is. Yes but really. Id sit by. And im going to say don trump but it could be biden. It seems to me to. Confirm no. No no no. Its not on the. Job are you just crushing polls show biden has a pretty solid lead over donald trump however theres still over a month laughs before the final vote however some Media Outlets have already called and said theres really no point in even having debates he and his henchmen are a danger with their comments on a danger to our democracy so i dont want to give him you know why bother. You know he doesnt tell the truth he isnt committed to our constitution president ial debates are a kind of american tradition now at this point its pretty unlikely that the millions of viewers will learn anything new other than some nasty nicknames or a one liner jabs but that wont stop millions from tuning in. Art see new york american t. V. Host and journalist larry king says the debates will make little difference to what people think its impossible to pick a winner and debate i do not think that joe biden and biden will fare poorly i think trump is making a mistake by thinking that all he has to do is just go into the arena and he wins the thats not the way it works biden will surely press him the members of the day to day about his income tax is the aggressor lets see how aggressive he is this is not a real debate in that each side i go 3 minutes you go 2 minutes i get one minute you get one minute nobody fact checks as to whos telling the truth and whos not. But it is what it is i remember the Kennedy Nixon 1st kennedy mix the debate in 1960 the 1st televised debate and i heard that debate on the radio and i thought nixon won the debate but if youre sort on television everybody was selling wow did you see that nixon look gray kennedy look strong so a lot of this depends on how you look i dont think the public watches this open mind you if you have a by your foot biden tonight tomorrow and a few of your for trump how many people are undecided now thats a question political pundits have asked for years i know of no one undecided in this race so i think theyll be a tremendous audience for this debate now how much will it count. Theyll be polling the next couple days as a Vice President ial debate coming in the end i dont think they matter very much i think there are a wash so well see what we shall see. To come for you after summer until brutality protests in the United States new figures released by the needle Police Department revealed theres been a steep rise in line of duty into hes born that after this break. The world is driven by shaped by. The day or thinks. Week to ask. As election day approaches there are growing concerns whether the oakum will be contested whether the election will be legitimate we are told this election truly matters were always told this however this time around theres a different feel theres an existential just election how many voters will say not my president. Welcome back the work of Police Officers in the us is getting more dangerous according to the new york Police Department over 7 and a half 1000 officers have been injured in the line of duty just this year so it almost 50 percent increase compared to the same period last year and if the injuries were sustained during this brutality protests Police Unions are pointing the finger at politicians. The chaos that politicians are encouraging on the streets is putting cops in hospitals every new york and he starts their elected officials how cops can protect them when we can barely protect ourselves. In one of the more bloody incidents new York Police Officer richard mack was attacked by protesters on Brooklyn Bridge in july he required emergency ice injury after suffering blows to the head in another case in june an officer in the bronx bronx was the victim of a hit and run attack and also in june a molotov cocktail was thrown at an n. Y. P. D. Vehicle. Nationwide protests 1st gripped the us in may over the Police Killing of george floyd over the summer there were frequent violent clashes between black lives matter protesters and offices see pumper a member of the National Police association also blames elected officials for the spike in injuries incurred in the line of duty. Obviously the increase in the riots that have been occurring across america have definitely increase the odds of a Police Officer getting injured and then the black of consequences for people attacking Police Officers there essentially many of them are getting away with it part of the problem is that we have you know governors mayors city leaders county leaders who are essentially ordering officers not to enforce the law or theyre implicitly setting the situation where officers dont enforce the law or because no charges are going to be brought against you know the people they arrest you know youre just going to have that cycle of violence because the officers are not the theyre not equipped to be able to stop the violence they dont have the authority to do it was the leadership gives it to them and so when you have Something Like this though give somebody you know a jumping off point to go and decide that every Police Department in america is nice the reform i dont know of another occupation where somebody makes a mistake or does something outwardly youre wrong and they dont want to change the entire institution i remember last time you know it teacher did something wrong they wanted to you know reform teaching in america and saying that.

The pharmacy of the United States there are even in the past few years shows of chorus of the negative response of the United States with regards to the possibility of opening a dialogue its kind of like lego movie that shows sometimes but wait who only established that there are rules that they are willing to to follow and everybody fell so definitely i dont believe that their approach that right now being taken by the u. S. Government its the appropriate one i believe that dialogue the best way to deal with us hed ration like that one that venezuela has theres a possibility that there will be profiteers after this election but at the same time right now the government the stronger of the 2080.
