A. First president ial debate later in our program. Live from moscow thanks for joining us. Welcome to the program. The u. N. Security council has called for an immediate cessation of hostilities between armenia and azerbaijan fighting between the 2 sides into its 4th day now as the belligerents once again vie for control of the long disputed border region. And crews on the ground there and filmed this exclusive interview and so is the wreckage of a drone shot down by the Armenian Army is the only media outlet that armenia has permitted to enter the conflict zone. This report films with vision camera. Right now were between the positions of the Armenian Army which is over there and the there 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 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 they are 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 im done of reporting from the disputed region of nagornokarabakh r. T. Meanwhile azerbaijani media have published their own video allegedly of a drone attacking armenian soldiers both nations are reporting a growing number of military and civilian casualties aunties more gas there has more on the escalating situation. Well the violence students stop with the onset of the night now what were hearing is that about johnny forces claim the armenians shelled civilian settlements over nice that they had been damage to civilian infrastructure civilian casualties are dubber of people wounded we also have heard as there by john cain to have destroyed an s 300 and the air Defense Missile complex that was stationed apparently they say near the front lines that paranoid or of this coming just hours of the u. N. Security council came out and condemned in strong words the violence they called it both sides did d. C. S. To deescalate and didnt negotiate with each other to Start Talking to each other unfortunately as they are by john and armine were also given a voice during the discussion the only thing that they agreed on is that they completely disagree with each other on forces who are media subjected to considerations of the armed forces who was of course you know along the front line and adjacent Populated Areas in my country to use an intensifier you know due to the aggression on forces of forces going john have under treat consolations in the exercise of the right of selfdefense the businesses of. Each to conceal its responsibility who preplanned march cumulus through aggression a greased people not good economy the aggression. In your Reference Point the use of a journey soon to milledge count through turkey through deceptive while bad as been an International Outcry calling for both sides to pull back for a cease fire conditional cease fire to be put in place and nations have picked sides one of them of course is turkey which has backed as it by john firmly weve heard. Statements such as i said by john in turkey are one People Living in 2 different states weve also heard a senior turkish official come out and say that any meaning an attack on and they said about jordan settlement outside the conflict zone should be and would be construed as an attack on turkish soil perhaps an invitation to get involved militarily we stand by as a persian on the field and on the table now we want to solve this problem completely turkeys role in all of this has been a point of contention much debate and argument especially between armenia and azerbaijan we will of course heard yesterday that armenia cames turkish f. 16 fighter of shooting down one of its jets accusing turkish advisers of being in the field and directing is that about joining forces all of this i said about jollity self has denied. That we have information that turkey is seeking a reason for a wider involvement in this conflict some look to have 16 jets have been taking part in the fighting its easy to prove that it is just another provocation by in the through qatari turkish Warfare Instructors and high ranking personnel are currently at command posts in azerbaijan turkey is also recruiting mercenaries in syria and taking them to azerbaijan to fight in a war against nagornokarabakh and armenia turkey is giving its moral support and we are grateful to the turkish government and turkish people for solidarity in standing by resigning there is no other role turkeys take the conflict the passions here are overwhelming and the fear is that things will spiral even further out of control than they already are the race is on according to many leaders in a bid to end this conflict and this conflict before it can get even worse. Nagornokarabakh of course is one of several border disputes remaining from the collapse of the soviet union the republic seceded from was about john over 30 years ago and declared itself independent however its not widely recognized as an independent state with all the backstory heres saskia taylor. A region nestled in the Caucasus Mountains caught between armenia and azerbaijan is now in the global spotlight how did new corner karabakh to get to this trouble point the disputed territory has a rich history having lived under many rulers and kingdoms before seeing out the final days of the russian empire 917. 00 came the empire collapsed 918. 00 came as a beach on an armenia became independent historically armenia and nagornokarabakh were clear but as a big john tried again and again to take back control armenia and azerbaijan independence was short lived in 1920 they were incorporated into the soviet union. In a corner carpark wanted a referendum to join all media but Joseph Stalin 7 had other plans based on the need for National Peace between muslims and armenians and the economic ties of the upper and lower karabakh its permanent ties with as regime leave nagornokarabakh within the regime soviet socialist republic for more than 6 decades armenia tried to repeal the decision with no success then in the late eightys the people of nagornokarabakh started their own campaign to unite with armenia after a vote they declared their allegiance to in 1988 which was rejected by both moscow and. Millions protested in both countries buildings were torched businesses were attacked military conflict started in the disputed area but nothing changed moscow had made its decision 3 years later in 1009 to one the u. S. S. R. Collapsed but still nothing changed. Then started the bloodiest clash the regions ever seen in toto an estimated 30000 were killed and 1000000 were displaced finally in 1994. Russian troops came into effect. Since then military clashes have periodic leaflet drop and subsided International Players regularly mediate but with armenia now considering recognizing nagornokarabakh to dependence and as a page on unwilling to even discuss it finding Common Ground is increasingly difficult historically when it comes to religion and ethnicity when 2 sides are so convinced of the right nurse when generations have been involved in the fight long lasting peace is allusive no doubt many are hoping nagornokarabakh proves to be the exception. For you stuff in the 1st Election Debate before novembers vote quarter and i discussed the president ial clash which was a cheer for with plenty of insults interruptions. Listen respectfully to each others opinions im not here to call out his lies Everybody Knows hes a liar never use the word smart with me ever use that word give me your because you know what theres nothing smart about you joe what do you. Excuse the one who saw your number to know hes putins puppy i get my time back fewer interruptions im appealing to you sir to do that and him too well frankly youve been doing more interrupting that event but he does plenty well less than what hes just shush for a minute why do you do it over one in the last 25 years not because im going to do it because you are president things up you are a senator and the worst were as high as americas ever had. To get any word with this clown directly you know now that were done were done sir while then the American People had big hopes for this debate after all its happening on the backdrop of a Global Pandemic in a serious economic crisis but based on how both biden and trump conducted themselves i would say most people probably thought they were watching some sort of circus. You should get out of your bunker and get out of the sand trap and get in your golf course and fund what needs to be done now to save lives he wants to shut down this country and i want to keep it open. I had it close to greatest economy in the history of our country we handed him a booming economy he blew it was it a loon. Hes very socially the crime bill 1904 where you call the super predators africanamericans the super predators and the moderator was barely able to hold this discourse together to stop it from completely devolving into insults and unsurprisingly we saw the Mainstream Media pretty quickly send out already headlines blaming trump entirely for derailing the debate but as we just saw in that clip it takes 2 to tango and biden didnt exactly live up to his promise to bring dignity to politics we. All that we need to do to make grown to restore we need to restore the integrity of the presidency of the office of the presidency and human to the American Public had high hopes for this debate whats been the reaction so far while during the debate the moderator was able to get in a lot of questions that the American People really want answers to how the next administration is going to handle Coronavirus ReliefRacism Police brutality the social unrest but the most important thing of all is how biden or trump actually respond to these questions and voters didnt seem to think that they did a very good job honestly is a very painful response i dont think either them one this is terrible all around this is very upsetting to watch that this is the best representation for our country right now i dont think i can say that even if you were one i think it was a twister it was a wild ride it went left there was a lot going on theres a lot of interruption it was crazy. To me that i dont think either one of them respected none. And the economy seems to agree with those voters as well because right after the close of this chaotic debate we saw u. S. Stock futures take a plunge and while both political camps have already started making political memes as if theyre their guy won the debate every day voters are really kind of taking a sort of id rather laugh than cry approach. We asked International Affairs expert Sophia Mcclellan and for republican senator john loudon to share their views on the 1st debate. Theres little doubt that trump lost his composure or he was repeatedly interrupting and. Seemed overly emotional and somewhat hysterical i was disappointed to see it in decide to sort of stoop to that kind of behavior he tends to be very dismissive been to goalie and in fact to name call its certainly not president ial its not the kind of behavior that you really want to see in a candidate match or anybody watching had their minds changed except that i do i do see that i think bidens going to have some cleanup to do with the left flank its inappropriate he just dismissed the president as a liar i would hate to see the count on how many times he said the president just lies without backing up and being specific about what was dishonest but american politics can be pretty contentious and i think American People sadly are kind of used to it. Going to work and so she will meet with the russian Opposition Leader svetlana going off because currently in selfimposed exile in lithuania having fled their home country after disputed president ial election and almost the german chancellor appears to show that it was rigged. Ok levis phone didnt we do not recognize the legitimacy of lucas shank us presidency him to engage in dialogue with his people without interference from east or west we can down whats going on there on a daily basis specifically the derailment of democratic processes and the violence perpetrated against the opposition german chancellor Angela Merkel has added her voice to calls from french president emmanuel back on for Alexander Lukashenko to step down as president of belarus micron had met with svetlana ticking off sky the woman who ran against in august disputed election just earlier this week that meeting took place between the french president and mistaken following that meeting that crown said that it was willing to act as a mediator to get to the bottom of the impasse that followed that vote however there has been some questions over the fitness of mr micron to act as a mediator in a dispute hes already very publicly taken aside in or speaking or weldon stay the german chancellor Angela Merkel said that she will also be holding her own meeting with svetlana taken off in a meeting of the need. I will meet with their positions to one of square one we see brief women taking to the streets calling for corruption free life i cannot but it mire that. With 2 of the keep power brokers in france and germany either having met with or agreeing to meet with svetlana ticket its hard to see how that sits alongside previous statements by emanuel marc on and Angela Merkel saying that there should be no outside interference in the future dollars. From class for us absolutely clear must find its way by itself and there must be no involvement from abroad the people of belarus know what they want and it was good for them. We want the dialogue to take place among belorussians themselves with the European Union is ready to take part if thats what belorussians want russia should also be included as part of that dialogue. Moscow is unequivocal on this and says that these meetings are direct outside interference on the future of belarus that immediate putins Spokes Person to me to the press corp saying that there was tremendous external pressure on minsk and on Alexander Lukashenko right now we consider these decisions to be an arts with International Law they clearly field to facilitate dialogue and in effect amount to meddling in internal affairs expect more you bellerose talk coming this week on thursday and friday there is a special Council Summit taking place during that summit we can expect the future of sanctions on belarus and all Alexander Lukashenko and those close to him to be discussed bringing you all the latest on that as it happens. The threat of sanctions is being dangled over russia yet again france and germany awarding moscow of consequences if it doesnt do more to shed light on the alleged poisoning of russian opposition figure an exchange of only one of our call on russia to do more to investigate this case the case such as this must have consequences the therefore reserves the right to impose sanctions on. The. Ticker and not there was very clearly an assault and the assassination attempt that was made on russian soil against a russian opponent with a chemical agent in the business related in russia. And therefore it is on russia to give indispensable clarification that we will have to draw from the information that russia provides the consequences all its refusal to provide tariff occasion. Or despite the German Foreign minister tough words the chancellor Angela Merkel has just said she will wait and see what the chemical weapons watchdog concludes before deciding how to proceed and while russian prosecutors have now said a 3rd request to balance the evidence they need to formally open a case a previous requests were ignored. We consider it an attempt to politicize the matter everything that is going on indicates that it is not to both seeking the truth our prosecutors have sent a said request to germany but there has only been one of response and that was from the media that the request had been received. He was transported to after falling ill on a domestic flight in siberia he was recently discharged from hospital political analyst gil but dr rose says the west is the liberally piling the pressure on moscow. This is a talking point. That i think we have to look at march the statement in which theyre not growing in the context of what i see is it wrong. On russia going on a military informational whether it was. Really in the lords into question the west is now or. Pressure on russia. Is only one. It is a leader against mr working as the mirror you. Want to you maintain your weight because if there were to be a proper investigation the absurdity of the claims made against watching. Oil or oil is an important one will be completely. While face masks and gloves are designed to stop the spread of the corona virus it seems they could be doing the opposite when thrown away thats the warning at least from local authorities in england which came careless disposal of p. P. Could pose a health hazard. 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 or earlier the World Health Organization also spoke out saying improper disposal could lead to a surge in transmission its not just Health Concerns about p. P. A. That have been mounting but also environmental ones a report by British Research has claimed the daily use of face mask by every u. K. Citizen could soon lead to 70000 tons of Plastic Waste professor Lawrence Young from the university of warrick believes reusable p p is the only solution. Appropriate disposal of face marse 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 except trauma 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 by 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 on the local councils certainly in the United Kingdom are happy to take those away and and deal with them appropriately if youre out and about disposing of face mask in little bins is perfectly ok but if they do happen to fall off or you decide to rob the irresponsibly just to ditch them in a road or in a public place then that is a really really socially irresponsible thing to do crosstalk discusses how many voters will say not my president often have a 3rd election but even im back in 30 minutes with the latest headlines.
