International condemns france for allegedly exploiting the pandemic to roll out repressive measures against its people. Thanks for joining us here on r. T. Armenia and azerbaijan have both flat out rejected calls for a ceasefire theyve ruled out peace talks as hostilities over a disputed border territory and a 5th day here are the latest Images Released by azerbaijan showing the destruction of Armenian Military vehicles in the nagornokarabakh region both sides released a string of videos to back of their claims of military conquest. Is in the heart of the conflict zone and reports now on the impact the hostilities are having on local communities nagornokarabakh is sandwiched between the 2. Of armenia and as a. John but as commanders in chief are deploying platoon after platoon to the frontline its often civilians who end up in the crossfire on both sides or in a small town in the disputed nagornokarabakh region the front line is about 5 to 7 kilometers that way and thereby johnny shell flew from over there and made this crater and well there was a bust staying right here has already been cleared the debris and it was bustling with people as a result because of the strike this strike killed 2 people and 5 more were wounded all of them civilians this is no military complex its just a building just a house where you live in in fact im being told that these these areas are being shelled relentlessly even though the closest military position is about 3 to 4 kilometers away that way but what youre hearing right now is them firing in fact we could hear just minutes ago a u. S. V and sometimes even see it as it was making circles above us it was not in armenia and it was in azerbaijan one so this is one of the places where it is as hard as it gets in the going to care about their own many places that have it worse than the town of martinique within the 60 minutes that we were filming there we had artillery infantry drones all of them had their deadly say. It would be a new movie the. Air raid sirens and the buzz of drones have become the terrifying soundtrack to this war in the gorn a cab back and this frontline town has enduring booms all calibers this is whats left of the round that fell and this backyard its really heavy and well im being told its about 160 millimeters in caliber we. It makes it a truly formidable project and you can see the amount of damage that it did here for instance here used to be the gates well theyre now completely gone both sides are ready to fight to the bush around both sides of the fervid support of their populations sharing an underlying belief that its them fighting for the right cause and not the enemy with all the horrors that have already haunted this land this war shows that the youll grievances have only deepened and weve done of reporting from the ground a care about r. T. And what i care about is one of several border disputes remaining from the collapse of the soviet union the republic seceded from us about john in 1988 and declared itself independent but the enclave predominantly populated by armenians is not widely recognized as an independent state. Turkey for its part has expressed all support reservation in this conflict baucus says that this support is limited to the diplomatic level but yet a van alleges that the Turkish Air Force is getting involved as well with more on the escalation heres our correspondent ryan giggs the of reporting from istanbul. Well theres been absolutely no lol in the fighting continued overnight raged i would say every few hours were also seeing casualty numbers both military and civilian so far and it seems to be getting worse and worse and the escalation seems to be escalating itself and this is all despite tremendous diplomatic pressure for both sides to take a pause to take a break to anything you know give talks the charts despite everything the International Community is doing the violence seems to be getting worse. We have only one condition that armenia leaves our lands completely and immediately this is file it is the armenian government complies with this the fighting will stop there will be no bloodshed there will be peace peace will come to our region. I believe the Armenian Army can secure a country and the selfdefense forces of the Golden Corral bark or successfully protecting their region from a political standpoint i believe its very important for us that International Partners know how and who started this military action. All of that all of this rhetoric though it isnt stark contrast to what ordinary people think here in istanbul in turkey in out of me in year in carabao in baquba people know off to so many years of escalations of flare ups that peace doesnt come through war medical needs more poverty as an armenian i do not want to talk about who is right or wrong but i would like those issues 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 lands. Walsh and i fought in the 1st war and in 2016 nowadays people go to the front line to win the shelling will come down then we will be needed there we used to it this is our homeland we have nowhere to go the losses both sides are suffering though we cant verify everything thats impossible for now are tremendous so the perhaps the sheer magnitude of what is happening will force both sides to take a pause and to reconsider the approach that theyre both taking but for now that seems a dim concept because the president of carabao has warned his citizens the people of calabar to prepare for a prolonged war and the set about johnnys side has as we mentioned earlier obviously set its path and that path is to reclaim calabar by force. And russia is among the countries that surging an immediate cessation of hostilities moscow is also warning about the possible involvement of foreign extremists in the conflict takes a look at the threat. So the issue of foreign mercenaries from outside the region being moved into the conflict zone in the gorn a car back it was 1st armenia that kept pointing out these concerns but now is the time when for the 1st time the russian side began to address this threat heres exactly what the Foreign Ministry statement said 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 so in this particular case and its very important moscow is not pointing the fingers at any of the sides for being behind this but like i said when youre yvonne began talking about alien fighters in the region they started blaming turkey right away in fact the armenian side was blaming turkey from the very beginning for provoking this call flick now in an interview to the Russian Media both leaders of armenia and azerbaijan addressed this specific issue and heres exactly what they had to say as their big john handed over the air command offensive operations against the in the ground a car back to the Turkish Air Forces the air force is being operated under their most command and control of the turkish station but its turkeys giving us 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 taking into the conflict the role of anchor all in all this has been the focus of speculation and debate for a long time now because unlike many Important International players which called for a peaceful settlement of the crisis from the very beginning and which didnt take sides turkey decided to back by john immediately and even threat. To send its military there now thats something that wasnt welcomed by the russian side at all which at this point has very good relations with ankara all this comes amid reports in the media that Syrian Rebels backed by turkey could be getting ready to be moved to the nagornokarabakh region or are already on the way but these are just reports for now and again id just like to point out that in its statement the Russian Diplomats arent blaming anyone for things that are causing concern at this point my colleague in an ill spoke earlier with a political analyst he focuses on the region he says the situations more complicated than it 1st looks in a minute of good news each month a bleak i dont think it is real will be a blow to use me the dorcy me bureau for a sort of agenda or even the mood it is mainly on him i suppose the amish if you belong to a certain Financial Firms in slumming Financial Firms related to the muslim presence in the meaning of the. Weve seen over the last number of days some statements of support from for azerbaijan 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 the shaken out too many forces inside or you would include be part of the party are now wanting to replace him and hes fighting for the place so if the media could have fortune would be on a sort of bridge on the side at the gun to get the glory or for. Konqueror off there are many like mr for. Big greek. Soul that is if military for sure i want to sort of but if a mans we have begun to lose nothing because of. Beauty but. We have no relations. Honest international has issued a damning report it condemns the french governments brutal crackdown on protestors and also alleges the pandemic is being exploited to bring in repressive measures with more. Amnesty international doesnt hold back in this report accusing authorities of using oppressive laws in the period pre and post the cove it 19 locked down thousands have been arbitrarily fined arrested detained and prosecuted for peaceful activities which should not be considered defenses peaceful protests have been banned under draconian kovan 1000. 00 powers and hundreds of protesters find the report says that despite the covert lockdown ending in may a barrel or public gatherings of more than 10 people remained in force it claims that this was disproportionate given that other launch gatherings in open spaces were permitted yet even though it was deemed illegal protests did take place including ones linked to the black lives matter movement. That. Was put on the iss. The ban was eventually overturned by francis highest Administrative Court but im misty says that dozens if not hundreds approached. Esters were fined for participating in small public gatherings over the past few months it says in the cases that it has documented the fines imposed appear to constitute a disproportionate restriction to the right to freedom of Peaceful Assembly that includes the case of eleanor a Health Worker took part in a protest calling for support for the Public Health system they the Police Stopped eleanor who was alone at the time in front of the Closing Stores our Law Enforcement officials checked eleanors backpack which contained a gas mask and a pair of goggles they told her that she would be fined for participating in the band protests they subsequently arrested her and placed her in a precharge detention for participating in the group with a view to preparing violent acts in 20182019 under state says that more than 40000 people were convicted on the basis of vague laws the Yellow Vests Movement was hit particularly hard. But its not just protesters whove been at the receiving end amongst those detained with 1st aiders human rights observers and journalists we were in plaster republique i was filming the priest cordons there were clashes around the square but not where we were walking we decide. Its 1170 my friend shouted brice watch out several Police Called me from behind and forced me to the ground they insulted me and asked if i threw projectiles against them i told them that i was a journalist and then i had my student card royce was placed in precharge detention before being told that he would be prosecuted for using violence against Public Officials he was later acquitted amnesty is now calling on the French Parliament to review and to repeal all laws that impose a punishment so really for the exercise of the right to Peaceful Assembly it also wants the interior and the Justice Minister is here in france to offer clearer guidance for Law Enforcement officials so that in less someone is carrying a pair of goggles or a face mask and this suspected of being involved in a Violent Crime they are not subject to detention in light of this report amnesty says its ironic that a country with such a long and proud tradition of collective action for social change is criminalizing protests in this way. R. T. Paris where the french government to respond to these charges so far no comment phillip develop a french rights defender says that the way protesters have been treated has undermined trust. The french government. To repress to protest for 2 years now to call them do you know best. The president micro used the police. Very strong strength to to stop the protest using force which was not necessary but in fact he was using force to tempt the people stay home dont go back to protest industry they were not guns there are delinquent people they were just upset of the leaving of the level of living in in france i think the people are. In their skin theyre hurting their soul and there is no account lets not trust president and i think hes going to be very hard to lead to. These 2 years before the new president ial election there is a mist of trust of you know i think from from the french people. But as far as that hes ready to unleash more and take care of it will see it seems confused about the ones hes already imposed thing tales after a short break. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see you then. Welcome back u. K. Says it is poised to impose tough. Measures as the infection spirals with more than 7000. 00 infections registered in just 24 hours. There is only one way of doing this and thats by showing a collective forbearance common sense and willingness to make sacrifices for the safety of others and i have to be clear that if the evidence requires it we will not hesitate to take further measures that would im afraid be more costly than the ones we put into effect not one week ago Prime MinisterBoris Johnson you saw there brought in a 10 pm curfew for pubs bars and restaurants in england some instructions were also introduced in scotland wales along with the 15 person limits for weddings u. K. Government in addition introduced a rule of 6 meant to simplify and strengthen wills on social gatherings but escape artist reports now it lead to more confusion. The u. K. Is suffering from covert 19 confusion rising levels of corona virus infections of causing widespread but forment among the public and officials struggling to implement the policies aim to defeat it even the Prime Minister mixed up some due respect sions its 6 in 6 in the hospitality but as i understand it not successor but Boris Johnson got it wrong and had to tweet an apology apologies i misspoke today in the northeast new rules mean you cannot meet people from different households in social settings indoors including in pubs restaurants and your home you should also avoid socialising with other households outside that couldnt go are mentioned by the Opposition Leader who seized on his rivals gaffe to highlight public confusion about exactly who is supposed to do what of the Prime Minister doesnt understand the rules and his own Council Leaders are complaining about mixed messages how does the Prime Minister expect the rest of the country to understand and follow the rules the Prime Minister is also facing opposition within his own party with some slamming the new measures and especially the hasty implementation through parliament as the death of freedom when youve got a body of lords are at large changing that fast i doubt really anyone understands what that lure is this is not a fair environment for a free people you had people think that liberty dies it dies like this with with government exercising draconian powers without parliamentary scrutiny in advance the authors think the policies dont go far enough one conservative m. P. Thinks the military should oversee any potential mass vaccination and then issue certificates for International Travel i have written to the Prime Minister recommending recommending that he consider calling on the ministry of defense to establish a Small Task Force led by a senior empowered voice of authority to begin the planning and design of a draft blueprint known forces. I have the capacity the logistical experience and the National Reach and im not overburdened by any current duties involving covert 90 while parliament itself felt the wrath of Public Opinion when it was revealed the bars in westminster were exempt from the new 10 Pm Hospitality curfew a loophole that was swiftly closed following the indignant backlash one rule for them and one for us no wonder the contras ignoring the 10 pm core of this whole part is corrupt in everything they do instead of being shocked about parliament closing at 10 pm shouldnt we be asking why part of the needs are no wonder m. P. s keep doing u. Turns all the time the u. K. Has heard several government mantras stay at home protect the n. H. S. Save lives was a guideline people could understand but the rule of 6 prompted the question which 6 and even flux the Prime Minister confusion has replaced clarity which also begs the question can the government expect the publics to follow the rules if theyre struggling to explain them or even agree on the cape partridge r.
