2nd round one donald trump and joe biden prepared to slug it out from the 1st president ial debate. That welcome you watching our International Desk on 6 oclock sky that hostilities between armenia and azerbaijan have continued into a 3rd day in what is the worst flare up of an old territory or dispute since a truce was agreed a quarter of a century ago violence exploded between the nations on sunday with both lying claim to the nagornokarabakh region. Reports claim there have been airstrikes in a disputed area our correspondent he go to donald who is currently in the capital of Nagorno Karabakh said air raid sirens are sounding across the city in locals have also been advised to take shelter gave us the late. Instapundit the capital of the disputed nagornokarabakh region this morning began with the sounds of explosions and air raid sirens and unmanned drone was shot down we saw the famed smoke above the mountains which are right behind me the military has told me it was a small drone but size is not of the essence here apparently such small you avis are actually Even Deadlier than the large ones because they are designed to specifically eliminate large groups of people theyre designed to target personnel not vehicles or machines thats how yet another day of brutal fighting begins here in the cab back there are no signs that the intensity of this fighting is receding on the contrary the Armenian Defense ministry has said that its army base in armenia on armenian soil came under the attack of the Azerbaijani Forces if this is indeed true this would mean that this conflict has spilled beyond the borders of this disputed region and now in tangles armenia directly and this could be the beginning of the escalation of this conflict into an even larger and more deadly war as beyond meanwhile though to strongly reject the claim its beyond territory this is footage from me as a bit chances have tarte are close to the nagornokarabakh region as a big chance Defense Ministry kinds armenian shells of hit civilian targets and he claims a local Court Building along with some Housing Force left damaged while journalists are waiting for permission to enter and report from as a bishop and among them is r. T. In the red gas yes hes currently in turkey. Another day and there is still be no response from the by johnny site to all the journalists and correspondents and Media Outlets that have. Followed requests for entry to as if i john to be allowed to work and to cover the conflict from the as it is my child inside so far they have been ignoring every request nobodys been able to get a nonce weve heard directly excuses about the wartime emergency said about john weve also heard directly to survive new flights going through is that by john but there are flights from here from istanbul for example to but to with regards to what is happening on the ground there has been unfortunately more escalation parable videos emerging from the conflicts are very difficult to verify for now but showing an countable number of vehicles tanks armored personnel carriers destroyed. Videos showing infantry being shot down corpses lining fields theres also beat unfortunately an escalation with the weapons that are being used now were hearing reports of. Multiple rocket launchers systems being deployed to the combat zone i mean ia coming out saying that about johns actions and leave them no option but to deploy long range much more powerful weapons. Casualties of course also unfortunately mounting is headed by john has just come out saying 10 civilians have died 30 have been killed in what they claim was meenie and shelling the cat about yesterday said that in the 1st 2 days of combat. 86 soldiers have been killed hundreds hundreds more wounded were also seeing an escalation on the diplomatic front there is growing outrage among the International Community on the global stage a leader after leader nation after nation call in and both sides to deescalate but of course getting them to stop shooting is the most difficult part noticeably absent though from this chorus of International Leaders the calling for calm calling for deescalation is turkey edouard has firmly backed the. Side leg the blame for the conflict entirely on the armenians. Azerbaijan i once again condemn our media who attacked the soil 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 that started with the occupation of Nagorno Karabakh when some media immediately leaves the territory it is occupying the region will return to peace and harmony russia also trying to mediate a cease fire station of hostilities after the lad to me of putins telephone conversation with the leaders of both sides i mean and this is about john the un secretary general calling the majority president to leave yesterday imploring him to cease hostilities glorying him to return to negotiations Angela Merkel among the latest leaders that the call both sides again asking them to do the same to stop shooting into the return to the go she actions the Un Security Council session has also been set to discuss what the International Community could do to bring this violence to an end and were going to cut it back is one of several border disputes left over from the collapse of the soviet Union Republic seceded from as a vision in 1908 and declared itself independent however the enclave predominantly populated by armenians is not widely recognized as an independent state with more details now on the history of the conflict is. Its the latest flare up in a conflict that stranded on for almost 40 years. Nagornokarabakh is in the south caucasus its internationally recognized as part of isaiah by john but is controlled by Ethnic Armenians and backed by Armenian Forces as a result of the remote region has become a defacto breakaway republic. The near 40 year old conflict stems from the way the borders redrawn during. The breakup of the soviet union with both on media and azerbaijan claiming nagornokarabakh as their read in the early ninetys hostilities between the 2 neighbors led to a full scale war that killed more than 30000 civilians and ended with a russian broken cease fire in 1994. Since then there have been a regular basis in the area but the latest flare up has been the most violent in the last 20 here. The conflict has International Ramifications russia has traditionally supported our media and provided weapons for its military while azerbaijan is a major oil exporter to hear back to a taxi. Doesnt sound from the rhetoric thats coming out of either side that either side are particularly king to talk and you know this would be a problematic conflict even without outside forces but 10 surely 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 the obviously the conflict itself goes back to the ninetys initially and also of course to the drawing a bone dres between azerbaijan and elmina during the soviet period and previously what you had in this situation is a situation where nagornokarabakh was effectively the independence of as a by. Armenia obviously to help their fellow citizens as they saw as in nagornokarabakh during the conflict in the ninetys even if you cant come to a final conclusion about who who gets what bit of the pie as long as people arent being killed and then thats thats good and you know for many years that has been the case here and certainly no law. The case. In other news tonight the french president has promised to help to the belorussian Opposition Leader in my own crohns pledge came as he met with spent lanigan off sky for the 1st time charlotte reports now from paris well its understood during that meeting which took place in the lithuanian capital that suspect land there to fend off sky asked for support for fresh president ial elections in belarus and she asked for united european support for change in the country now following the meeting she said that frances president had agreed to help. With the fish and serbia of the just for. You know football for football this political crisis in our country will do everything just to curb the release of all the blood from the original well this of course follows a disputed president ial elections in belarus which of seemed 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 alyaksandr. Very well known and on the one hand president machen 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 that we do not recognize the election of president look at showing joe and therefore we dont recognize his status as president elect. As soon as possible i hope we can take the necessary sanctions 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 look 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 says it doesnt support whats happening in valeries it in fact called the inauguration 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 have 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 based on the principles of mr 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 that meeting comes just ahead of e. U. Leaders who are also due to meet where the topic of belarus is expected to be high up on the agenda with the leaders discussing possible sanctions against the country. Well after the meetings fell on a taken off guard did also say that she had accepted an invitation to address the French Parliament independent journalist. Does question whether france is in a good position to mediate. But you michael cannot play the role of mediator there should be somebody to mediate if any or is respect by all parties including mr the question those sorry to say so mediating is something that you cannot do from position where he stands now offering after having taken a strong position in support of the opposition. Caught mediate anymore so i dont see anything happening on the side of europe in brussels all of us so probably the situation will remain the same and europe will reduce its complaints and support this is the kind of scale full and her friends in lithuania for the coming years as a government in exile is. Now the hours are counting down until the 2 main heavyweight candidates and to the ringing of the 1st round of the u. S. President ial debates. Not to pull any punches and will be hoping to inflict a knockout blow on each other with more his kind of. 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 Joe Biden prior to off to 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 is a lie long enough keep repeating repeating repeating it becomes Common Knowledge that when it comes to trading blows in the debates biden hopes they will be murder ball 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 trump is very. Young but really. Id say 5. Im going to say don trump but it could be biden. It seems to me to look. Down. 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 i mean 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 talk show host larry king believes though that the debates will actually do little to change peoples political beliefs 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 both 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 Mixon 1st kennedy mixer debate in 1960 the 1st televised debate and i heard that the debate on the radio and i thought nixon won the debate but if youre sore on television everybody was so on meanwhile did you see that nixon look gray kennedy looks 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 for biden tonight to our interview of trump 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 sure 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 theyre a wash so well see what we shall see. Now seems that police in the streets of new york is turning christening risking the n. Y. P. D. To say that more than 7 and a half 1000 officers have been injured in the line of this year alone and thats up almost 50 percent compared to last year many of the injuries were sustained during recent Anti Police Brutality and protest and unions say it is the politicians who are to blame. The chaos that politicians are encouraging on the streets is putting cops in hospitals every new york at least ours their elected officials how cops can protect them when we can barely protect ourselves well in one of the more bloody incidents a number of Police Officers were attacked by protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge in july 1 required emergency i surgery after suffering close to the head and in another case in june an officer in the bronx was victim of a hit and run and in the same month tell you a molotov cocktail was thrown at an n. Y. P. D. Vehicle nationwide protests 1st gripped the us back in may over the Police Killing of george floyd over the summer there were frequent vying clashes between black lies massive protesters and Officers NationalPolice Association member state pumper 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 its give somebody you know a jumping off point to go and decide that every Police Department in america is you know needs to be 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 the last time you know a teacher did something wrong they wanted to you know reform teaching in america and seeing that. Face mass sods assigned to stop the spread of the coronavirus it does seem that they could actually be doing the opposite when thrown away that is the warning from like authorities in england which claim that had this to supposed all pain pain could pose a health hazard. Not only does this blight local areas but it also risks spreading infection face mosques gloves and other forms of personal protective equipment designed to protect people from infection but poor disposal risks doing the opposite. Earlier the World Health Organization also spoke out too saying improper disposal could lead to a surge in transmission and its not just Health Concerns about p. P. A. That have been mounting but also environmental a report by british researches earlier this year claimed that the daily use of a face mask by every case citizen would eventually create almost 17000. 00 tons of Plastic Waste professor Lawrence Young from the university of warwick believes that we lose the ball of pain peeing is the only solution. Appropriate disposal all face smiles in other p. P. C. Essential to avoid any increase in transmission and so its really important that people take responsibility to dispose of their face masks gloves etc in appropriate way spins and do not litter the streets and other Public Places with potentially contaminated face masks and gloves and also highlights the important use perhaps of cloth for a small slow washable because washable face masks will be much more easier to deal with they would washing will destroy the virus and its a much more environmentally friendly approach in your own home you can dispose of these in your normal black bag on the d local councils certainly in the artic aimed im happy to take those away in and deal with them properly if youre out and about disposing of facemask in litter bins is perfectly ok but if they do happen to fall off or you decide rather irresponsibly just to ditch them in a road or in a public place and that is a really really socially irresponsible thing to do. United states has repeat to you and his top diplomat that burrell are acting where that its approval in venezuela. This will make relations with the e. U. Bureaucracy more difficult its not useful to have burrells Office Working on its own is fair to call it cowboy diplomacy the e. U. Recently sent a mission to venezuela ahead of decembers parliamentary elections there the countrys Opposition Leader has been calling for a boycott of polo playing that it will be rigged brussels is hoping provide minimum democratic conditions during the vote. We believe there is a window of opportunity to support a peaceful and democratic transition in venezuela and as well as plunge into political crisis 2 years ago following a disputed president ial election which the incumbent Nicolas Maduro claimed one Opposition Leader one quite oh cried fraud and declared himself interim head of state hes backed by more than 50 countries including the u. S. And in new associate professor from George Mason University quite a loop bear believes washingtons current criticism of europe shows it wants to lead the global agenda. It is not surprised seeing considering the current diplomacy of the United States directly in the past 2 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 a lego movie that shows some time but way to one only established that there are rules that they are willing to to follow and everybody to follow 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 is the best way to deal with it he do ation like that one that venezuela has there is a possibility that there will be protests after after this election but at the same time right now the government the stronger the.

Hey you know back in 2008 when the had the Global Financial crisis and banks went under and Lehman Brothers bear stearns and some european banks are going to go under that old like meetings all the weekend long and the policy was not to reform banks but to give them a bigger credit line 1020 times bigger at the time we said you know it intended 12 years so if theres going to happen but a lot bigger well here we are 12 years later in the face of just as you said that its all unraveling again especially with european banks because they are not the center of the empire they are not rome they are outside so they must suffer but before we get to that fence and story about the european banks i want to say once again we find toilet paper roll is a precious commodity as lockdowns began apparently there are rush mad rush on toilet paper all over the western world and were seeing shortages of toilet paper again that was also something we protected.
