Broadcasting live from moscow to the world this is r. T. International pleasure to have you with us my names you know neal. The Un Security Council is calling for an immediate end to fighting between armenia and azerbaijan after 4 days of hostilities the 2 nations are once again vying for control over the long disputed border reached. R. T. Is the International Media are granted access to the region he spoke to me earlier from their. Well were in the city of. The capital of the disputed nagornokarabakh region and well you can see how dark it is around me well its not because were in a forest or somewhere in the middle of nowhere no in were in the middle of a city a big pretty big bustling city normally shining with the lights but this is not the case right now because all the street lights have been switched off people are trying not to light the lights in their homes just because just to make it more difficult the job more difficult to those who are bombing this town what has become regular here raid sirens that sort of a tour of terrifying soundtrack to this war i should say this city of suppose it is pretty far from the front line about 60 kilometers probably but regularly every day were hearing dozens of raid sirens and we hear were hearing explosions as the Missile Defense systems as ed found systems i should say are shooting down these drones that the Azerbaijani Army is sending in sending in here now when it comes to the latest as to whats going on on the frontlines well i wish i could tell you that it is getting more timid but well it isnt at all the fighting is intensifying from what im seeing this is the conclusion that i can make so far the infantry arent at each others throats they arent going into hand to hand combat so far the conflict in the stage of artillery shelling and bombings drone bombings especially so the 2 the 2 sides are firing at each other relented slee ruthlessly when it comes to casualties both armenia and azerbaijan to giving contradicting figures and each says for instance armenia for example is saying that more than 100. 00 people were killed they could have they killed more than 100. 00 as they are by johnny soldiers as they were by john denies that says that it was them killed hundreds of armenians soldiers and im. Turn denies that so it is difficult to find any and plausible and real its difficult to tell which figures are realistic indeed now when it comes to the bigger developments armenia today the Foreign Ministry accused there by john of giving up all operations offensive operations bombings control to the Turkish Military so essentially theyve said that now everything thats going on every bombing is something that turkey has ordered something that has been ordered from by you the Turkish Military now ankara of quds has adamantly denied that saying that they are not involved in this conflict militarily i mean it has promised to show some proof but hasnt done so so far now as to what we have seen we traveled to or to a frontline town basically in an hour that we spent there filming we witnessed everything artillery artillery fire from both sides a drone came in flew into buzzing the armenian soldiers shot at it didnt they missed the drone bomb those those who shot at it and flew away and then artillery work to get all that in a span of just an hour now i will be standing by here reporting from the frontlines and from and report giving you bringing you personal stories alike so stay tuned for that. Meanwhile azerbaijani media published a video allegedly showing a drone strike on armenian soldiers dozens of civilians and military casualties are being reported on both sides heres how the people in azerbaijan and armenia use the ongoing crisis. For tickets and the hamas as a by john does not provide anything to resolve this conflict communications it has been decided the conflict must be resolved through force and we are already from its a little bit it must be understood that if this happens there will be severe loss of life and every loss is a tragedy or we do not want to be addressed in this way. All the needs of our position it is serious to march of glee and from their point of view we are to blame as an armenian i do not want to talk about who is right or wrong but i would like those issued to be resolved through negotiations not force. I dont like what has happened many people i know are now going to the front line we dont want blood to be sure we want everything to end peacefully but i am afraid there is no chance to talk about peace at the moment we must reclaim our labs. For devotion and i must make the news and of course what is happening in the conflict zone is bad who would want to handle no one see people dying to tell the hand was forced by the armenians. And there has been a new twist to the conflict russia is raising the alarm over the possible involvement of foreign extremists in the gordo carra back and we crossed to our teasingly for more on this serious claims which could have a lot of ramifications bricked on for us what the russian Foreign Ministry had to say. You dont good evening well this issue these allegations of foreign mercenaries from outside the region being moved into the conflict zone in the golden egg. Back previously it was our media that began pointing out such concerns but now is the time when the russian officials for the 1st saw him are addressing this threat in a statement heres exactly what the russian Foreign Ministry had to say. According to the information we have received militants from illegal armed groups have been transferred to the nagornokarabakh conflict zone from syria in libya to take part in the still exists we call on the leaders of the countries involved to take active measures to prevent the deployment of Foreign Terrorists a masterpiece in the conflict and to ensure their immediate withdrawal from the region while moscow isnt pointing fingers at any of the sides for being behind this but like i said when armenia started bringing up the issue they blamed turkey directly for being behind it and they are also saying that turkey could have provoked the conflict in the 1st place now in an interview to Russian Television both leaders of armenia and azerbaijan shared their views on this specific matter by and they stopped every turkish Warfare Instructors and high ranking personnel a 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 us moral support and we are grateful to the turkish government and turkish people for solidarity and standing by her side there is no other role turkeys taking into the conflict. Now i can tell you that ankaras role in this call flic was the focus of debate and speculation since the very outbreak of the conflict because unlike many Important International players and International Organizations which were all calling for a peaceful settlement from the very onset what turkey decided to do is support deserved by john in any case even militarily while they threatened to send the army there to back but who in this conflict. Russia in this case which is also a very important player in the region and also a country that at this point is very good relations with ankara was against such moves and they were actually absolutely open about it when reacting to statements that were made by turkish officials. We stand by as a by john on the field and at the table now we want to solve this problem completely so that peace and stability can come to the region the occupied territories of azerbaijan must be liberated. Im doing im sure any statements about some kind of support and military activity are undoubtedly add fuel to the fire because we are firmly against this we call on all countries especially our partners including turkey to do all they can to urge the conflict and sides to return to the cease fire now all of this comes amid reports in the media that rebel fighters from syria that are backed by turkey could either be preparing to head to the. Region or could be already on the way but again for now these are just reports. They have thanks for bringing us right up to date. But will trump and joe biden have locked horns in the 1st u. S. Election debate of 2020 or my colleagues down the hawkins double quarter discuss the president ial clutch which was a chaotic affair no shortage of insults and interruptions to. Listen respectfully to each others opinions im not here to call out his lies Everybody Knows hes a liar dont ever use the word smart with me dont ever use that word because you know what theres nothing smart about you joe what do you she was an excuse the one who saw your number to know hes putins puppy i get my time back if you were interruptions im appealing to you sort of do it him to well frankly youve been doing more interrupting that you havent but he does plenty well less than what hes just shows for a minute but why do you do it over again in the last 25 years not because im going to do it because you are president show the way things up you are a senator and the worst president is america is never. Going to china. To get any word with this clown directly then you know now that were done were done sir while then the American People had big hopes for this debate after all thats 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 say entrapping 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 of the history of our country we handed him a booming economy he blew it was it evil who. He is where the crime bill 994. 00 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 can do all that we need to do to make this Country Grown to restore we need to restore the integrity of the presidency of the office of presidency and you mention 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 Relief Racism 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 in the one i think that it was a twister it was a wild ride it went right 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 not the other. 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. And. We asked former republican senator john loudon International Affairs experts a few mclennan for their thoughts on the 1st date. Theres little doubt that trump lost his composure he was repeatedly interrupting and. Seemed overly emotional and somewhat hysterical i was disappointed to see it in when i decide to move to florida. To that kind of behavior he tends to be very dismissive been goalie and in fact a name call its certainly not president ial its not the kind of behavior that you really want to see any candidate match or anybody watching had their minds changed except that i did i do see that i think biden is going to have some cleanup to do with the left flank its inappropriate he just dismissed the president as a liar i 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. Total here in the New York Times readers are often arms over the papers fact check all the out the bait you got that story more besides when we come back and. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. When i was still seem wrong. Why dont we all just dont call. Me. Yet to see. And indeed. The trail. Find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Lets talk about. Approaching it the minutes into the program youre welcome back. Said shes planning to meet with the bella russian Opposition Leader svetlana is currently in the thread her country after the disputed president ial election in august the german chancellor assures her view but the vote was rigged. Ok levis phone didnt we do not recognize the legitimacy of the question because presidency urged 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 it is typically the derailment of a democratic process 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 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 he 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 state the german chancellor Angela Merkel said that she will also be holding her own meeting with svetlana taken off in a meeting of the news media i will meet with their positions to one off 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 must go on and Angela Merkel saying that there should be no outside interference in the future than others insist from class for us absolutely clear must find its way by itself and there must be no involvement from abroad the people of those know what they want and whats good for them and we want the dialogue to take place among the russians themselves with the European Union is ready to take part if thats what belorussians wants 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 Vladimir 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 at odds with International Law they clearly feel to facilitate dialogue and in effect amount to meddling in internal affairs they 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 to bring you all the latest on that as it happens. Lets just return to choose the nights u. S. President ial debate between donald trump and joe biden the New York Times is under fire from its own readers over its coverage of the event the paper tweeted this screenshot of its Fact Checking piece it shows a quote from biden claiming we left from a booming economy and caused the recession the New York Times flagged as faults and its mostly liberal readers were all impressed. And this is the image you choose to include cancelling my subscription tomorrow im done with the this is ridiculous ludicrous shameful ok after decades of being a subscriber im going to have to cancel my subscription because the New York Times continues to kneeboard trumps fascism. So glad i cancelled my subscription to rag cannot believe you would choose a biden quote tough to trump just lied for 90 minutes what were seeing now is this with some of the New York Times which the claims that sob so fervently to be the paper of record and to be the authoritative voice of news america theyve really gone so far off the inches where they wont even pretend to be to be biased already pretend to give the other side a fair shake readers are a bit so poisoned by the rhetoric of the last 4 years that that the opposition President Trump is the incarnates of evil right that that nothing else mattered but getting rid of this guy they poison the reader so much with this rhetoric as soon as they say one of these Media Companies just dipping their toe in the water of Fact Checking joe biden then its all out backlash and they think that suddenly these papers are on the side of some dark side tannic force its a chicken or egg question with this relationship that these bar lefties have with their media but theyre locked into each other now and its an absolute echo chamber. Fronts on germany are warning of potential action against russia when the alleged poisoning of Alexei Navalny the european powers claimants moscows judy to establish what happened to the opposition figure. If you want to 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. Predicament there was very clearly an assault and an assassination attempt that was made on russian soil against a russian opponent with a chemical agent on 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. By the German Foreign minister is tough words chancellor merkel has said she will wait and see what the chemical weapons watchdog concludes before deciding how to proceed meanwhile russian prosecutors sent a 3rd request to berlin seeking the evidence they need to formally open a case previous requests were all ignored. We consider it an attempt to politicize the matter everything that is going on indicates that it is not about seeking the truth our prosecutors have said a 3rd request to germany but there has only been one of response and that was from the media that the request had been received just to remind you know bali was transported to berlin after falling ill on a domestic flight in siberia he was recently discharged from hospital in germany political analyst Gilbert Doctorow says the west is the liberty piling the pressure on russia. I think this is a talking point. That i think we have to look at the muscle statement instead of not growing in the context of what i see is that hes wrong exactly on russia going on today from a military from an informational political spent one thing we can all extend going green in the north into question the west is now will engage in pressure on russia and with the new case is only one of several homes it is a leader against mr william has that in their view and they want to to maintain it that way because if there were to be a proper investigation of the absurdity of the claims made against russian.
