Interruptions weve got the big moment. Just a few moments into a brand new day on month here in moscow thursday october the 1st hope we find you well welcome to our international 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 region. Is the sole media they granted access to the region. 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 sort of terrifying soundtrack to those who are i should say this city of to panic at 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 added fan 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 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 are by john denies that and says that it was them who killed hundreds of armenians soldiers and im. Turn denies that so it is difficult to find any any 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 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 by saying that they are not involved in this conflict militarily armenia has promised to show some proof but hasnt done so so far now as to what we have seen we traveled 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 didnt they missed the drone bomb those those who shot and flew away and then artillery work to get all that in the 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. To tell us what the report meanwhile azerbaijani media have published a video allegedly showing a drone strike on armenian soldiers dozens of civilian and military casualties have been reported on both sides here saw people in azerbaijan and armenia view the ongoing crisis. As a by john is not providing any opportunity to resolve this conflict through negotiations it has been decided that the conflict must be resolved through force and we are all ready for that but it must be understood that if this happens there will be severe loss of life. And every loss is a tragedy we do not want the issue to be addressed in this way the medical needs our position it is the it serious who are to blame 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. And i dont like what is happening many people i know are now going to the front line we dont want blood to be shed 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 lens. If i give a shit in my fitness and of course what is happening in the conflict zone is bad who would want to have a war and see people dying to tell the hand was forced by the armenians. That allows the fighting intensifies moscow has warned about the possible involvement of foreign extremists in the conflict arties who has more specter. This issue these allegations of foreign mercenaries from outside the region being moved into the conflict zone in nagornokarabakh previously it was armenia that began pointing out such concerns but now is the time when the russian officials for the 1st time 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 it is 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 in the 33 turkish wolf air instructors and high ranking person no 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 on. Media turkey is giving us moral support and were grateful to the turkish government and turkish people for solidarity and standing by her side there is no other role turkeys taking to 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 their by john in any case even militarily while they threatened to send the army there to back but who in this conflict but 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 us by joan must be liberated. Any statements about some kind of support and military activity and doubted lee add fuel to the fire we are firmly against this we call on all countries especially our partners including turkey to do all they can to urge the conflict in science to return to the ceasefire. 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 the earlier i spoke to a political analyst with. The region he told me there are many complex suspects to consider in the conflict. There are Many Organizations not probably i dont think it is real be they bodies me the or dorky me they are all frustrated by gen or even deleted it is mainly i suppose the initiative belongs to a certain financial funds in slumming financial firearms related to the muslim presence in another meaning of the they are many and Prime Minister has stated turkey might be sending syrian mercenaries to azerbaijan to fight in this conflict but could this information have any crimes of truth in it well it could because you need to cross the borders you need to get customs clearance when you come into country and of course the to push government feel relaxed when the militants who are in practical meaning under turkish control getting out of the country and they could much less problems because when they go to getting out to other places and dont forget the game the feeling that the former soviet union have something in common and when these people who live in for arabs for syria and so forth when we come back to the former soviet union. If these kind of go for it lets say should so i think they knew about it and they could put it away and but they didnt but there is no any official decisions that sent has a. Government sponsored troops weve seen over the last number of days some statements of support from and credit for us about how far do you think turkey is willing to go to help its ally well you should understand the situation be thrown the chair of the gun was shaken out but too many forces inside turkey would including of the gun party are now wanting to replace him and hes fighting for the place so the military of fortune would be on a sort of bridge on the side at the gun to get the glory of. Computer over there i mean and like that you was a big greek. So this is if may be true for sure i dont want to sort of buy journeys but if it means we have begun to lose nothing because of bt but its going to budge and we have motivations. Moving the program and donald trump and joe biden have locked horns in the 1st u. S. Election debate of 2020 years earlier my colleagues Daniel Hawkins and double quarter discussed the president ial class which was a chaotic affair with no shortage of insults on 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 because you know what theres nothing smart about you joe what you show as an excuse one whos so your number 2 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 sort of but he does plenty well less than hes just shush for a minute but why do you do it over again in the last 25 years i because im going to do it if you are president things up you are a senator and the worst were as high as america is ever going. 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 its happening on the backdrop of a Global Pandemic and 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 and 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 a loon. Hes very socially the crime bill 1994 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. Do all that we need to do to make grown to restore and 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 ReliefRacism Police brutality of 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 of the others. 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 everyday voters are really kind of taking a sort of id rather laugh than cry approach. And you know it was quite the night former republican senator john loudon International Affairs expert Sophia Mclennan for their thoughts on the debate number one. Theres little doubt that trump lost his composure as he was repeatedly interrupting and. Seemed overly emotional and somewhat hysterical i was disappointed to see it in decide to sort out stoop to that kind of behavior he tends to be very dismissive and 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 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 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. It will delve into another aspect to that story after the break goes New York Times readers are up in arms over the papers fox check all of the bait more coming up. Satyrs financial Survival Guide i dont buy any im on if you. Think the flight. As of last summer buying from the future the trucker was kaiser. Seems wrong. Well we just dont call. Me. Yet to stamp out this day to cancel. And engagement because the trail. Went something and find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. 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 quality to disoblige how many voters will say not my president after november 3rd. 20 minutes past midnight here in moscow welcome back said shes planning to meet with the belorussian Opposition Leader in the sky is currently in the few mania having fled her country after that this spirited president ial election in august and the german chancellor shares her view that the vote was rigged. Do you believe both on this event and we do not recognize the legitimacy of the question because 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 the 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 taken over 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 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 wednesday 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 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 mark 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 and we want the dialogue to take place among the russians themselves with europe. When union is ready to take parts if thats what belorussians want russia should also be included as part of that dialogue with 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 feel to facilitate dialogue and in effect a man 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 bring you back to choose the nights u. S. President ial debate between joe biden the New York Times is under fire from its own readers for its coverage of the event the paper tweeted this screenshots of its Fact Checking piece that shows a quote from biden claiming we left trump a booming economy and he calls the recession the New York Times flag bought us falls and its mostly liberal readers who are all impressed and this is the image you choose to include counseling 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 terms fascism. So glad i cancelled my subscription to rog cannot believe you would choose a biden quote tough to trump just lied for 90 minutes but what were seeing now is this some of the New York Times which the clear that stop so fervently to be the paper of record and to be the authoritative voice the news the america theyve really gone so far up in just really what even pretends to be to be biased already pretend to give the other side a fair shake the 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 that this rhetoric is soon as that is the 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 the dark side cant force its a chicken or egg question but this relationship that these bar lefties have with their media but theyre locked into each other now and its an absolute echo chamber of. France and germany are warning of potential action against russia over the alleged poisoning of alexina vone the european powers claim its moscows duty to establish what happened to the opposition figure. If one of the i call on russia to do more to investigate this case is going to case such as this must have consequences the therefore reserves the right to impose sanctions on one of the. Take him all there was very clearly insults and an assassination attempt that was made on russian soil against a russian opponents with a chemical agent on the business related in russia know the choke and therefore it is on russia to give indispensable clarification that we will have to drill from the information that russia provides the consequences all its refusal to provide tariff occasion and get to yes it also. Despite the German Foreign ministers 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 have sent a 3rd request to berlin seeking the evidence they need to formally open the case previous requests were 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 istead request to germany but there has only been one of response and that was from the media that the request had been received. The volley was transported to berlin after falling ill on a domestic flight in siberia and was recently discharged from hospital in germany political analysts Gilbert Doctorow sees the west this deliberately piling the pressure on russia. This is a talking point. I think we have to look at. The statement from the state and not growing in the context of what i see is that hes wrong. On russia going on a military informational whether its one thing we can all extend the grieving in the north into question the west is now out of. Pressure on russia and the case is only one. It is a leader against just looking as though in their view it wants to to maintain it that way because if there were to be a proper investigation the absurdity of the claims made against russian. Oil or the voice of them that was what we needed. When we were all set across the summer great programs in moments here on r. T. International find out whats showing in your part of the world after this. As the u. S. Economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. You can work 40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of were not financial inequality and the lack of Affordable Housing living minimum wage give many people no choice. Thats been a problem with the city who knows turn around and told to stay way out of homes. Its worth it if there is no answer because yes the fires resource the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible cops. Hello and welcome to crossfire were all things are considered on Peter Lavelle as election day approaches there are growing concerns whether the outcome 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 difference feel there is an existential quality to disallow action how many voters will say not my president after november 3rd.
