Around the clock across the world this is R T International from the team and myself you know neal hello and welcome to the program. Hostilities between armenia and azerbaijan have continued into a 3rd day in whats the worst flare up of an old territorial dispute since a truce was agreed a quarter of a century ago violence erupted between the nations on sunday with both laying claim to the. Region lets take a look at some exclusive pictures we have received this in our tikrit taking them from the. You can see parts of a drone. Armed forces during the fighting our crew is so far the only media granted access to the area by the armenian authorities r t z version of 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 that 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. The disputed region of nagornokarabakh and as there by john not by turkey in fact a meanie 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 don of reporting from the disputed region of nagornokarabakh. Strongly rejected claims there are many and territory and show you footage from the. Tar tar close to nagornokarabakh region the nations the Fence Ministry claims armenian shells hit civilian targets on a local Court Building along with some hard was left damaged. Meanwhile journalists are still awaiting permission to enter and report from among them our senior correspondent. 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 budget inside so far they have been ignoring every request and nobodys been able to get an answer weve heard direct excuses about the water on the margin see in his head about john weve also heard directly to survive new flights going through is that about 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 youre coming out saying that is it 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 side 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 and the global stage 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 that are calling for calm calling for deescalation is turkey edouard has firmly backed the. Side laying the blame for the conflict entirely on the armenians. By john talked i once again condemn a media who attacked as abuse johnny 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 new goanna 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 off the Vladimir Putins telephone conversation with the leaders of both sides i mean and this is about john the u. N. Secretary general calling the by johnny president aliyev yesterday imploring him to cease hostilities if imploring him to return to negotiations and going to merkel among the latest leaders that to call both sides again asking them to do the same to stop shooting into the return to the go she ations the Un Security Council session has also been set to discuss what the International Community can do to bring this violence to an end. As the of speaking from istanbul nagornokarabakh is one of several border disputes remaining from the collapse of the union the republic seceded from azerbaijan in 1988 and that period itself independent however the enclave predominantly populated by armenians is not widely recognized as an independent state with more background on the conflict heres polyploid go. 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 regular missions in the area but the latest lera 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 while azerbaijan is a major oil exporter to hear that is backed by turkey. Doesnt sound from the rhetoric thats coming out of the facade that either side of particularly king to talk. And you know this would be a problematic conflict even with language outside forces potentially being drawn in on both sides the escalation was seen 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 brown dress between azerbaijan and elmer. India during the soviet period and previously what you have in this situation is a situation where nagornokarabakh was effectively the independence of azerbaijan armenia obviously 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. Moving the program on the you can count of a house large sanctions on the bella russian president Alexander Lukashenko and some 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 and put pressure on those responsible for quote repression and valorous following this election earlier the french president also weighed in on the situation as he promised help to the russian Opposition Leader and money on the crumbs pledge came as he met with certain manotick an ops guy for the 1st time on tuesday r. T. Charlotte dibbin skin parlous 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 story of the just for. 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 lukashenko 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. 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 as 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 present my 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. Just an additional point on this story after that meeting is for plummeting off skies said she had accepted an invitation to address the French Parliament independent journalist who of a questions though if france is in a good position to arbitrate in the 1st place. Assume i cant cannot play this role of mediator there should be somebody to mediate if any respect by all parties including mr question 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 already in paris so probably the situation will remain the same and and europe will reduce its complaints and support this is to come of full and our friends in the fray now for the coming years as a government in exile is. Not long to go numb until a 2 main heavyweight candidates enter at the ring for the 1st round of the us president ial debates both of course following not to pull any punches and will be hoping to inflict a knockout blow this choose the evening killed my pins being looking at the bottle 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 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 and even to put it mildly only drugs could of course this discrepancy now the biden camp is taking down from 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 repeat repeat 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 split. Down. The. Job are you just crushing reading polls show biden has a pretty solid lead over donald trump however theres still over a month to laugh 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 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 well among the people weve been getting reaction to whats approaching host of politicking in our king he believes the debates will do little to change peoples political beliefs. Its impossible of 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 what 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 so on meanwhile that 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 feel for biden youre for 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 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. Were talking about the u. S. Softer summer aponte concrete tell us the protests there are new figures released by the n. Y. P. D. Reveals there has been a steep price and line of duty injuries we braked on that story to the brink. The world is driven by a dream 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 to just election how many voters will say not my president after november. Hello again 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 up almost 50 percent compared to last year many of the injuries were sustained during recent down to the Police Brutality protest on unions say its politicians 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. And one of the more bloody incidents a number of Police Officers were attacked by protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge in july 1 required emergency ice surgery after suffering blows to the head another case the month before that an officer in the bronx was the victim of a hit and run in the same month amala tof cocktail was thrown on an n. Y. P. D. Vehicle nationwide protests gripped the us back in may following the death of george boyd over the summer there were frequent violent clashes between black lives not a protestors on official National PoliceAssociation Member steve home per se elected officials should tough to answer for the spike in Police 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 the 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 as 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 reformed i dont know of another occupation where somebody makes a mistake or does something outwardly you know wrong and they dont want to change the entire institution i remember last time you know it teacher did something wrong they wanted to. Reform teaching in america and. Changing gears now while face masks and gloves are designed to stop the spread of the krona virus it seems they could be doing the opposite went through in a way that is the warning from local authorities in england which claim curl is 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 and not just councils in the u. K. The World Health Organization earlier also spoke out saying and proper disposal could lead to a surge in transmission now and its not just in fact Health Concerns of i. P. P. That have been mounting environmental ones as well a report by british researchers claim their daily use of a facemask by every u. K. Citizen would certainly to 70000. 00 tonnes of Plastic Waste presser Lawrence Young from the university of warrick believes renewable p. P. Is the only solution. Disposal of face marse 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 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 mass 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 and the local councils certainly in the United Kingdom are happy to take those away in and deal with them really 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.
