A massive surge in cases locals are divided over whether its a good idea. To have turned it into a political war airplane with its people will eventually have to grow the states roads because i dont know what were going to eat it closes again my. Father thanks for joining us here on r. T. The french president is urging nato states to take note of the behavior of Alliance Member turkey says a red line has been crossed after receiving information 300 syrian fighters passed through turkey and arrived in azerbaijan to fight. John and armenia accusing each other of deploying foreign mercenaries in their territorial conflict over the nagornokarabakh region lets go live to our senior correspondent. In istanbul at the moment good morning what is the latest. Well aside from an increasingly violent and volatile situation on the ground were now seeing footage of an exit about johnny helicopter being shot down released by the armenian side were hearing of drones being shot down near the armenian capital aside from an increasingly as i said volatile situation on the ground. Things that heating up on the diplomatic International Stage and i would say at this point that they are boiling france now coming out with an increasingly hardline stance on what is happening in the region in this in this conflict and theyre saying that theyve come by the same intelligence as russia had that there are indeed syrian geodes mercenary fighters being transported and utilized by is it about john in the fight against armenia. Today we have information with certainty that indicates that militants from the how does groups who have the field of combat and syria to rejoin the field of conflict and care a bomb we have this information regarding the transfer of machinery fighters from the middle east and of course care beharry at a school of the information exists and it was presented in social national and relevant. The president expanded in this he gave details for example those a batch of 300 fighters that were transported from the turkish city of guys in tampa to back to to the capital of these fighters originated from a hardcore ji hardest outfit group that is stationed based as based out of near aleppo he said that this must stop that these fighters shouldnt be should be transported and allowed to fight wage war in armenia that this was only making the conflict was previously about your background that criticized turkeys rhetoric saying that it was aggressive and unproductive unacceptable that it was only egging azerbaijan or believe making the believe that there is a military solution to this conflict when the very clearly the french believe eason russia had also said that that they had detected that their intelligence had reported that fighters from syria mercenaries and geologists were being transported to fight for example by drug something that initially booth turkey and then said about judge. Denied they had denied that they were using fighters that they were being deployed to the frontlines now were hearing different talk were hearing them accuse the armenians of 3 utilizing mercenaries under the guise of volunteers this is this is something that theyve been saying in recent days armenia who always has since the onset staunchly. Said the as there by john was using mercenary fighters nevertheless there is a diplomatic a as i said escalation in a rare feat comparatively d speaking the United States france and russia came out with a joint statement calling for peace saying that this wasnt the sort of fight the sort of war the was needed or wanted at this point in. This situation in the world the middle of a pandemic and urging urging booth sides to deescalate to pull back and to give talks another childs however turkey for one is somewhat seek of talks. The issue should be. The fact that america russia and france is the minsk trian looking for ceasefire in the face of these negative just because the if you quit this problem for nearly 30 years is unacceptable sudha louis marlin. The problem is that turkey says theres been talks for decades for decades under the auspices of the o. Ses group and theyve led to nothing the conflict has is with the conflict as state hot there are constant flare ups and escalations of turkey says or does it about john say that now is the time for a military solution because unless the underlying problem is solved and that problem is who controls karabakh and plan until that problem is solved the conflict will flare up again and again other world powers a more concerned about the fact that this could lead to a tremendous escalation in iran for example making it known that it is feeling incredibly concerned about what is happening these are syrian fighters syrian mercenaries jobless who iran has food in syria now being trafficked to turkey to irans doorstep so theyre incredibly concerned russia has a collective Security Agreement a collective security pact with armenia theyre incredibly concerned of being dragged against their will into a conflict that they had no new pardon making and that is the general feeling among the International Community that violence isnt going to resolve this and it is only potentially going to make it worse even from turkey thats a correspondent thank you. The nagornokarabakh conflict is one of several border disputes still unresolved since the collapse of the soviet union the enclave populated mainly by armenians broke away from azerbaijan back in 1908 but has not been widely recognized as a sovereign state in the latest development the armenian Prime Minister ported for drones was shot down near the capital. With an early 6th day of intense fighting both nations rejecting calls for. Through the latest pictures from the armenian side they show rocket launchers another heavy weaponry lined up along the frontier. Wiemar journalists are getting caught up in the crossfire 2 cameramen from an armenian t. V. Channel was severely injured during shelling from the azerbaijani side pictures of his car 2 french journalists were also hospitalized while covering the conflict our correspondent has done of these near the battleground his report very shortly. As the sides trade accusations over foreign troop involvement there are also contradictory claims over the number of casualties both military and civilian on the Saskia Taylor takes a look at how disinflation appears to become the norm. Deception and full of military victories are as old as wolf heart south but in the digital age the distance from ation can be tough charged the military Propaganda Machine of armenia which found itself in a stalemate after a series of successful hostilities by the us or by johnny army began a large scale provocation in the Information Space though the armenian side as always presents old video of battles as new ones the goal was to present their failures to the population as successes the ongoing conflict in the corner kara boss is an example of how information is deployed just as powerfully and destructively as guns claiming victory can play as important a role as physically claiming territory its all about the image you project so one surprise in that just as azerbaijan tried to discredit armenia as claims of success yet on shot off its own attack the enemy both at the front in the Information Space is making its last efforts is running out of steam and therefore threw Everything Possible weapons into an even fakes and falls over the past few days there has been a relentless stream of accusations from one side followed by denials from the author and this exchange of fire has made finding the truth almost impossible for example armenia says one of its su 25 warplanes was shot down by tuckers fighter jet talkie and by john denounce this is laws and with no footage or i want to says its one sides word against the others so was the truth but even when evidence is put forward the truth proves to be just as elusive the car back to France Ministry sit down and sorry helicopter a photo of a burning helicopter into the ground is posted on social media a small victory is claimed it tuns out the photo was actually of a Helicopter Shot down over syria back in february but it doesnt matter because people were. Thought it was a sorry and that will stick as way john uses the same tactics to post about a successful strike bridge on his i did not publish any images of the strikes and their mean in positions of military equipment it turned out it was for those from the war in syria these videos were shared thousands of times and so without being the truth they become a version of the truth so were letting this has this war of information become that journalists have been put on high alert. As all members of the media in armenia and azerbaijan to not take part in the ongoing intimate it is important to crosscheck information even when it comes from official sources journalists should never become soldiers in the information war one of russias most famous authors once compared finding the truth to looking for gold he said the only way is faster wash away all that is not gold then you will find your shining nugget well when it comes to car but theres still a knot of sifting through the muddy river of misinformation to be done before we even get close to the truth. Kremlin spokesman to be to preschool 1st accused of working with the cia prompting an angry response from the russian opposition activist who says hes going to super scoff and follows the vollies claim in an interview with the german media that they were putin poisoned him. I claim that putin is behind the crime and i have no alternative versions of what happened i dont say that to flatter myself but on the basis of fact the most important fact is novacek the order to use a manufacture it can only have come from 2 men the head of the f. S. B. Or of the Foreign Intelligence Service the s. V. R. And western Intelligence Services are working with him in particular of the cia we believe his accusations against the russian president are groundless and unacceptable his interview reveals that he thinks hes as important as the leader of a state but the real royals at that level are quite different people in the valley spoke to dish spiegel magazine over a week after hed been discharged from the sheriffs clinic where he was treated following the alleged overture poisoning the thing germany and angloamerican in particular for the help he received there the russian opposition figure alleges there was a plot to kill him during a flight from siberia to moscow and that only a lucky series of coincidences helped him to survive moscow says there was no miracle in the professional work of russian pilots and medics. Meanwhile the International Community is calling for an investigation but russia is still awaiting the requisite evidence from germany before it can open a criminal case and then refuses to provide the valleys test results or biomaterials and has told moscow to address the International Chemical weapon watchdog the o b c w instead of organization though is also refusing to cooperate directing moscow back to berlin. But look you absolutely their excuses are completely wrong my driving them in germany says it was hard to listen any but it was a direction which is the organization for the prohibition of healing whoever goes then weve been to the you several times they say talk to your but were ready to talk to anybody who you want not when the absence of facts and what we were pressured into giving an account of ourselves but if you notice on the basis of specific clearly formulated concerns report we are always ready to have a professional conversation go much allows the west to say they want to they believe she is actually hiding something which it may be it may not be as well and of course they its open to the west and many of those of course will work for the a. B. C. To be sponsored and supported by western governments we saw that very much during the syria series of reports of the i p c w and produced that work for any i think neutral objective investigative work questionable at best shall we say that moving on to the new one the case it allows the n. P. C. Debut on the west to call russias bluff if thats what they believe is happening it will be interesting to see what the o. P. C. Their response to this is because they dont accept invitation of course it cant stand as an organization as perhaps already come to a preordained conclusion but. Moscow and other major russian cities are tightening their coronavirus restrictions after a surge in cases hearties donald quarter takes us through developments. Over the past several weeks russia seen a significant rise in the rate of new covert cases with nearly 9000. 00 new infections over just the past 24 hours of course the countrys 2 largest cities have been hit the hardest in St Petersburg cases have exceeded those from june worrying authorities that a 2nd wave may have already begun theyve already made it mandatory for people to wear face masks on public transport under the penalty of a fine but on the other hand moscows mayor seems to think the capital has enough hospital beds to handle whatever comes out it but he still introduce new measures to deal with what he considers to be a very serious situation in the developments a very serious will expect the day he case that he will produce 3000 in the coming days weve seen an increase in the number of people hospitalized they say was seriously ill patients on the ventilators and all these numbers are rising Daily Hospitalization rate has reached 1000 of these this is twice as high as 2 weeks ago you were so young and new measures will go into effect on october 5th and theyll require all businesses to have at least 30 percent of their workforce on an at home work regime people 65. 00 and older and those with serious illnesses will also be required to work from home and as for children the mayor has declared a 2 week School Holiday for the beginning of october to curb the rate of infection the proportion of children whove contract it could be 19 has for the 1st time exceeded 900 percent of all cases over the usually have modeled symptoms on nonis will they can post the disease on to older family members who are likely to develop much more serious symptoms so far russia sporting the vaccine is going ahead with phase 3 testing as planned with no serious side effects reported the mayor of moscow hopes the 1st batches will be produced either by november or december and perhaps this time around the authorities will have an advantage on keeping new infections low. Plane is reintroducing paul should lock down missions in madrid and surrounding areas the region is the countrys worst hit accounting for more than a 3rd of cases in the latest spike but the Regional Government says the lockdown has no legal basis. Ok see what i can tell you is there we have to act with determination to take control of the pandemic in the magic reagent with it up and this is the most important thing we have to do in this moment because health comes 1st. We believe this document contains decisions that concern the entire National Health system and above all the fundamental rights and freedoms of millions of people the minister is imposing measures that go against the will of many citizens. Well under the new restrictions residents in madrid will not be allowed to leave the area unless they have to make an essential journey social gatherings will be limited to 6 people while bars and restaurants will have to close by 11 pm parks and playgrounds will be off limits the measures have already led to mass protests over 2000 people gathered to denounce these measures on friday protesters pushed rubbish bins into the roads and chanting slogans demanding freedom we ask the dreaded residents what they thought of the new measures. That have turned it into a political war theyre playing with us and they should be aware that they have to see this is a pandemic not a political one but i think there is a real threat and this could be improved a lot if the necessary measures are taken with more transport put on to avoid growing. If you lock people up at home for the virus for the flu for a cold everything will get better but people dont have anything to eat and you just have to take a walk through madrid to see the shops are all closed people will eventually have to grow their own potatoes because i dont know what were going to eat at madrid closes again. A new f. B. I. Film on the dangers of chinese intelligence recruitment is being branded cold war style propaganda well explain all after the break. We did a survey just about a month into the pandemic and found that people said they lost 35 minutes a day less to unwanted interruptions at home which was kind of a surprise because you know with all the things that are going on and on right now this is not the best of times to be to be doing it. And so thats one element the other element is they tend to give back 50 percent of the time that they would have otherwise spent commuting. Seemed wrong but all in all just dont call. Me. Yet to shape out just the adjective and engagement equals betrayal. When something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Welcome back the f. B. I. Has released a new short film which demonstrates the dangers they saved chinese intelligence recruitment but the propaganda style video reminded many of the methods used by the us and u. S. S. R. During the cold war the open explodes. Its the latest hollywood thriller complete with a catchy soundtrack and a script that keeps you on edge however its meant to be informative its not a feature film this half hour movie was created by the f. B. I. More knew about chinese intelligence and its efforts to recruit this is someone targeted on raven who may have sent classified information to chinese intelligence. Like many blockbusters its based on a true story a former cia officer was sentenced to 20 years in prison for passing along information to the chinese now the f. B. I. Says that this video is meant to educate the public and alert them about the threat of foreign intelligence recruitment as this movie highlights Foreign Intelligence Services are posing as head hunters and consultants and professional networking sites to aggressively target americans we believe its critically important to educate the public in order to need to as this threat from Foreign Intelligence Services well weve seen all those old newsreels talking about the red menace it looks like the propagandists are still in business years later trying to. Devise im sure. Russia had occupied many New Territories bringing additional millions of people under communist control whos to say the chinese cant strike back theyve got hollywood scenes of their own the. Little one of them out on. The line to get a little digital. Just listen to your sim and. The usa nor china has actually declared a new cold war but everyone is buzzing about it and the issue of the cold war as the foreign minister suggested its not just our writings saying that is this a new cold war weve heard for example u. K. Officials are china and the United States headed for a new cold war or is it going to be a hot war the u. N. Is even getting in on the hysteria or should we call it in a stealth you must do every scene for the new cold war. We are moving in a very dangerous line action. Own we cannot afford a future where the 2 largest economies split the globe in a great fraction each we need some freedoms financial rules and the internet and not official intelligence capacities yes many of us heard stories from our parents about hiding under their desks in school during Civil Defense drills the cold war has a special place in American History and now with dueling propaganda films and talk of a red menace from china it seems that the cold war is back the good old days well perhaps weve forgotten how potentially dangerous it is. R. T. New york. We suppose politics Professor Joseph mahoney says a u. S. China cold war is already a promise. If we if we follow reports of majority opinions among Business Leaders and policy makers that there will be likely a war between china and us within the next 10 years so i think that again this is part of the. Negative messaging that we see with trump but there is also some credibility that it is an issue that the u. S. Wants to check ahead of future conflict we already see many people agree a cold war and tech a cold war growing frictions between us and china and other countries and International Organizations as the u. S. Turns against multilateralism some people a lot of people in the d. C. Area believe that were already in a hot cyber war. For intelligence workers in north rhinewestphalia germany are accused of far right activity online one of the suspects worked in a Police Department 3 of them were part of them savation group involved in various investigations including monitoring right wing extremism all 4 were showing videos with anti islam in the phobic content including chats until one of the. Work has informed the interior ministry the 1st recent case of german officials being accused of far right activity only 2 weeks earlier 29 Police Officers in the german state of north west were suspended and now face an investigation that the sharing online the nonsi images in private what some groups 11 of the suspects Face Criminal Charges for alleged incitement the officers now face being fired though some may only face disciplinary action you supposed to be a member of germanys to link a party he says fascism in germany Security Apparatus must be rooted out. I dont think the police is actually the biggest problem i think the problem is with the Security Services they have the opportunity to for example read your mail and pull up lists of addresses of nearly all of the citizens in the state and this is a power that can be very dangerous right green extremists of all kinds should be dissolved and completely replaced by new institution that it from the ground our traffic and its purpose and map that you have to destroy it to stand make racism and fascism in germany Security Apparatus. A new e. U. Report a slow and hungry in poland for violating the rule of law this could affect their access to block funding to all of. The e. U. Commission has let rip a scathing condemnation of what it sees as poland and hungary failings democratically it accuses warsaw pest among other things of applying political pressure to media and the courts polands Justice Reform since 2015 had been a major source of controversy both domestically in at the u. N. Level and have received concerns. The shrinking possibilities of civic oversight in the context of restrictions to Media Freedom ho style environment for Civil Society organizations and constant meet challenges in the application of the transparency and access to Public Information rules further weaken the end tykwer option framework but this latest swipe from brussels comes just a few days after poland and hungary joined forces to implement a new organization off their own its purpose tamala to violations of the law and they get repeated using it. The aim of this institute of comparative law would be that we should not be taken for fools we have had enough of some western european politicians using as a punchbag the idea behind the institute is to pull brussels on what warsaw and budapest see as double standards in the block the animosity between poland and hungary on one side and the e. U. Institutions on the other is running right now the whole garion Prime Minister wants the removal of e. U. Commission Vice President b. N. A year of over comments she made to the news magazine. The commons are a blatant violation of the principle since equilibration and prevent any meaningful dialogue the statements are incompatible with who can mandate therefore her resignation is indispensable listening to the noises coming out of brussels the commission v. P. Is going nowhere this is just the latest spat between e. U. Top brass and hungry they have previously clashed on migration minorities and state autonomy hungry along with poland and the Czech Republic recently to rail to an e. U. Migration plan that would have seen asylum applicants shared among men and the states will continue to fight against the european mainstream who still didnt understand that supporting migration is not a good response to the problems of europe it can be quite easy on hearing this news to some i think well there we go again central and eastern men the states not agreeing with brussels is a vision for the bloc but these spots can have far reaching ramifications particularly when it comes to Foreign Policy which requires unanimity for the block to act should poland hungary or anyone else for that matter feel like theyre being victimized or picked on they can cause more than just a headache for brussels it can have an impact on how the European Union as a whole is viewed on the world stage peter all of our r.
