Crew. You can see parts of a drone was shot down by Armenian Armed forces during the fighting our crew is so far the only media granted access to the area by the armenian authorities. Sent us this report from the site filmed with a night vision camera. Right now were between the positions of the Armenian Army which is over there and the as they are by joining forces which are stationed right over this hill and here is the debris of a massive unmanned drone that was shot down by the Armenian Air Defense this is the main piece but not the only one in fact theres still a distinctive stench of burning up in the air which means it was shot down literally hours before we arrived here in fact where the 1st International News crew allowed here by the Armenian Forces the here is school and everybody has to walk over a huge like pieces of metal like this and well this marks yet another day of deadly clashes between armenia and the disputed region of nagornokarabakh and as theyre by john not by turkey in fact amenia accused by john of attacking its soil today which means that probably conflict spilled over the borders of this disputed region but were being told that we have to hurry we have to rush it is not safe here so we have to wrap up i will be bringing you more of this as we go more of this as a stay here im done of reporting from the disputed region of nagornokarabakh r. T. Azerbaijan meanwhile has strongly rejected claims that it remain in territory this is footage from the bridge on the city tar close to the nagornokarabakh region the Nations Defense ministry claims are many and shells had civilian targets on the local Court Building along with some hosing was left damage to. Meanwhile journalists are still awaiting permission to enter on report from azerbaijan among them are Senior Correspondent goes to. Another day and there is still be no response from the by chinese side 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 by driving side so far they have been ignoring every request nobodys been able to get anon so we could direct excuses about the water on the margin see about john weve also heard directly chooses about new flights going through is headed by john but 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 conflict through very difficult to verify for now but showing countable number of vehicles tanks armored personnel carriers destroyed. Videos showing infantry being shot down corpses lining fields theres also bhedam fortunately an escalation with the weapons that it being used now were hearing reports of. Multiple rocket launchers systems being deployed to the combat zone i mean coming out saying that i said about johns actions 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 being killed in what they claim was meenie and shelling the side yesterday said that in the 1st 2 days of combat 86. 00 soldiers had 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 and lead off to lead a nation of the nation calling them 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 that are calling for calm calling for deescalation is turkey edouard has firmly backed the head by judging side lake the blame for the conflict entirely on the armenians. Azerbaijan talk i once again condemn a media who attacked has to be shown the soil on sunday turkey will continue to stand boys 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 nagornokarabakh 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 off the Vladimir Putins telephone conversation with the leaders of both sides i mean and then said about john the un secretary general calling the as it about johnny president to leave yesterday imploring him to cease hostilities if imploring him to return to negotiations and going to merkel among the latest me. This that the call both sides again asking them to do the same to stop shooting into the return to the go she ations the u. N. Security Council Session has also been set to discuss what the International Community could do to bring this violence to an end. Right gusty have reporting from istanbul on nagornokarabakh is one of several border disputes remaining from the collapse of the soviet union the republic seceded from azerbaijan in 1908 on the current itself independent for the enclave predominantly populated by armenians is not widely recognized as an independent state with more background on the conflict here polyploid. Its the latest flare up in a conflict that straggled on for almost 40 years. Nagornokarabakh is in the south caucasus its internationally recognized as part of their by jan 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 were redrawn during the breakup of the soviet union with both on and azerbaijan claiming nagornokarabakh as their own 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 brokered cease fire in 1994. Since then there have been a regular missions in the area but the latest flare up has been the most violent in the last 20 years the conflict has International Ramifications russia has traditionally supported our media and provided weapons for its military by jan is a major oil exporter to hear that is backed by turkey. Doesnt sound from the rhetoric thats coming out of the of the saud that leave the saudi particularly king to talk. And you know this would be a problematic conflict even with 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 to have blown up out of a blue sky. But obviously the conflict itself goes back to the ninetys initially and also of course to the drawing a bone dres between azerbaijan and elmer. During the soviet period and previously what you had in this situation is a situation where nagornokarabakh was effectively the independence of azerbaijan. 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 bits of the pie 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. Then moving the program on the you can count of a house slap sanctions on the bill of russian president Alexander Lukashenko his psalm on 6 other senior government officials the measures include a travel ban on the freezing of assets the British Foreign secretary said the restrictions have been introduced to uphold Democratic Values pressure on those responsible for quote repression in belarus following the disputed election earlier the french president also weighed in on the situation as he promised help to the belorussian Opposition Leader emmanuel microns pledge came as he met with svetlana taken off for the 1st time on tuesday are to Charlotte Dubin ski and pirates picks up the story. Well its understood during that meeting which took place in the lithuanian capital that suspect land there taken 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. The fish and be of the more. You know football for this political crisis in our country will do everything just to her to release all the blood from brazil well this of course follows a disputed president ial elections in belarus which have 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 alexander. 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. Our position is very clear 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 and 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. 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. My. Meanwhile has says it doesnt support whats happening in belarus 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 might call has said president lukashenko must go hes been pretty clear about that but president lukashenko has hit back saying if that is president michaels 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 leaders discussing possible sanctions against the country. Or additionally after the meetings for atlanta said she had accepted an invitation to address the French Parliament in the pen and journalist look groovy wonders however if france is in a good position to arbitrate. But you michael cannot play the role of mediator there should be somebody to mediate if any who is respect by all parties including mr question sorry to say so mediating is something that you cannot do from the position where he stands now offering after having taken a strong position in support of the opposition. 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. And her friends and with the rain out for the coming years as a government in exile is. Just a number of hours no until the 2 main heavyweight candidates enter the ring for the 1st round of the us president ial debates both are vying not to pull any punches and will be hoping to effect of course that knockout blow choose the even keel up opens been looking at the bottle. 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 coolest 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 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 be. No. No no no. Its not on the. Job are you just crushing reading 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 will host of politicking on r. T. Laurie king believes the debates will 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 music of the day today 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 ironic of the Kennedy Nixon 1st kennedy and nixon 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 looked grey kennedy looked strong saw 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 if your from 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. If you something larry king still to come after a summer of on to kill brutality protests in the u. S. New figures released by the n. Y. P. D. Reveals theres been a steep rise in line of duty injuries and bricked on that story for you after the break. So you know back in 2008 when the have a Global Financial crisis and banks when other Lehman Brothers bear stearns and some european banks are going to go under that all those 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 what in 10 or 12 years. Going to happen then a lot bigger where we are 12 years later and. Seemed wrong. Just dont hold. Me. To shape out just days after. And engagement equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. And. Lets start the program back in the United States where policing the streets of new york is getting more and more risky the n. Y. P. D. Says more than 7500 officers have been injured in the line of duty this year alone thats almost 50 percent compared to last year many of the injuries sustained during recent Police Brutality protests and unions say its politicians who should shoulder some of the blame. The chaos that politicians are encouraging on the streets is putting cops in hospitals every new york and he stops their elected officials how cops can protect them when we can barely protect our so lets go through some of the incidents this isnt july an order of Police Officers attacked by protesters in Brooklyn Bridge one required to merge and see ali surgery after suffering blows to the head at the month previous to an officer in the bronx was the victim of a hit and run at that very same month amala soft contrail was thrown out on n y p d vehicle. Nationwide protests gripped the us back in may following the death of george floyd over the summer and frequent violent clashes between black lives not are protesters and Officers NationalPolice Association member steve pumper saying selected officials should have to answer for the spike in injuries occurred in the line of duty for officers. Obviously the increase in the riots that many occurring across america have deftly 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 somebody you know a jumping off point to go and decide that every Police Department in america is you know needs to be reformed i dont know of another occupation where somebody makes a mistake or something outwardly wrong and they dont want to change the entire institution i remembered. Last time you know it teacher did something wrong we want to reform teaching in america and see that. While face masks and gloves are designed to stop the spread of the coronavirus it seems they could be doing the opposite when thrown away thats the warning from local authorities in england to switch claim curtis the supposed p p could pose a Health Hazard not only does this blight local areas but it also risks spreading infection face masks gloves and other forms of personal protective equipment designed to protect people from infection but poor disposal risks doing the opposite. Yes indeed the World Health Organization also spoke out earlier saying improper disposal could lead to a surge in transmission in fact its not just Health Concerns or by p. P. Either that have been mounting environmental ones to a report by british researchers claim the daily use of a facemask by every u. K. Citizen would eventually create almost 70000. 00 tons of Plastic Waste professor Lawrence Young from the university of work please reusable p. P. Is the only solution. Disposal of face models and 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 waste bins 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 local councils certainly in the United Kingdom are happy to take those away in and deal with them properly if youre out and about disposing old facemask in little bins is perfectly ok but if they do happen to fall off or you decide rob the irresponsibly just to ditch them in a road or in a public place and that is a really really socially irresponsible thing to do.

As election day approaches there are growing concerns whether they will be contested whether the election will be the judgment were told this election matters were always told this however this time around theres a different feel theres an extension to just election how many voters will say not my president. Howdy 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 all of 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 in 10 to 12 years so if theres going to happen but a lot bigger well here we are 12 years later and.
