At least this is what the Defense Ministry of armenia is telling. To me representing the red cross in armenia says civilians and are terrified and many have nowhere to go. Passages are now to do still moving in and around the area is really missed because of the intensity of i think unfortunately of the situation you receive reports and we see from recent polls of people were pretty terrified and dont know. What to do to turn to to be in a safe. Space and basically this is really very worrying also on the onset of winter when children are just several weeks into that school just basically its a day that people are trying to protect themselves and being anxious you know the nations already severe situation carr about his populated mainly by armenians with the region breaking away from us about john in 1988 but the area has not been widely recognized as a sovereign state as about john is insisting armenia is entirely to blame for the current flare up president claims armenians are occupying a very land and do not want peace he also said 1900 died in the conflict 60 more are injured on friday hostilities spilled beyond the confines of the disputed territory when a bordering varied town was bombed as a measure on claims over 2000 shells were dropped in that raid.

U. S. President has given an update on his condition after testing positive for corona virus in a video taken around 24 hours after he arrived at a Military Hospital donald trump vowed to return to his president ial duties in the very near future. I want to begin by thanking all of the incredible medical professionals the doctors the nurses everybody and Walter Reed Medical Center i think its the finest in the world i feel much better now working hard to get me all the way back i have to be back because we still have to make America Great again white House Doctors earlier said the president had received antibody therapy a number of people close to mr trump have also recently tested positive the Administration Says the president will carry on his role but many of his political opponents are hoping that he wont kill them up in comments. Talk of an october surprise a Game Changing event that comes right before a u. S. Election has been pretty common in the United States for the past several decades well this years october surprise is here it came in the form of a positive coded 19 test for donald trump and the 1st lady the nation is in shock the white house knew that hope except tested positive and the president had been in close contact with her yet he proceeded to still travel yesterday. He is not able to fully perform his his duties as commander in chief we were seeing people without masks regularly were seeing people stopping just not socially distancing they stop taking temperatures for people who are regular visitors to the white house and we have seen that it has ended up in the worst Case Scenario for the white house with donald trump got tested after it was confirmed that his staffer hope ics had been infected the results came in and it was pretty clear at that point that the campaign is now curving in a new direction now lets not forget that donald trump actually downplayed the covert 19 threat and even mocked joe biden for being more cautious looks like by april you know in theory when it gets a little warmer miraculously goes away i hope thats true we have a very much on the right here in the United States lowest in numerous categories were lower than. The world they wanted me to come out and screw people it dying with. We did it just the right way now were weeks away from a vaccine were doing therapeutics already fewer people are dying when they get sick far fewer people are dying weve done a great. Democrats jumped on Donald Trumps diagnosis to once again call him out for mishandling the crisis going into crowds unmasked and all the rest of the sort of a brazen invitation for Something Like this to happen the president of the United States on republicans in minnesota actively spreading a deadly virus they are a risk to the Public Health of my constituents and our country though they have not done so in the past the Administration Must now follow the science and all recommended health prosecute you know and to not put additional people at risk and they must be completely transparent some of the reactions have gotten rather ugly its been against my moral identity to tweet this for the past 4 years but i hope he dies the 2nd scheduled debate intended for the discussion of Foreign Policy remains up in the air even if donald trump doesnt get too badly sick hell still be under quarantine now let us not forget that donald trump is 74 years old and overweight and hes in a High Risk Group for whom cove it can be lethal over a Dozen Campaign rallies have now been canceled so how will the public react will there be sympathy for donald trump now that hes been infected or will this be seen as further confirmation of the democrats argument that he lacks clear judgment only the voters can answer that question. R. T. New york. Still ahead of the program the u. S. Is accusing vietnam of unfair trade practices a move that could lead to china style heavy tariffs from washington for the explanation on that and much more appropriate desire to internet. Everybodys reaching for their geopolitical purpose as opposed to answer turkey and armenia to russia and i think the resolution of this is theres going to be a nasty war thats going to go on for maybe months as john in an already rejected. Must goes off to mediate because the fighting is too early on that people are now battling to see what territory they can get and i think when the fighting settles down and the lines are drawn and people realize that theyre not going to move forward or backwards then theyre going to turn to the other players and. As the u. S. Economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. You can work 40 hours d in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of it is that were not financially equality and the lack of Affordable Housing or living minimum wage give many people new choice you know thats been a problem with the city can always turn a return call the stay way almost. Before that there is no answer because yes that requires resources the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible comes. Back this is our to international frances president has drawn criticism this week for his perceived meddling in lebanons crisis its one of a number of International Situations hes gotten himself involved in prompting accusations of over ambition Artie Shaw Dubinsky is in paris to pick up a story for us. And michel over 3 years on the world stage frances president not corn has apparently become the go to man ladies and gentlemen my 1st miss each he said france is back france is back at the core of for europe from syria to libya wrong to the sun hell mcconnell has fingers in many pies high profile interventions have kept the International Media fixated on him but as bold as they have been many of his cause celeb a seemingly in tractable this week alone hes been asked to mediate in belarus called for a cease fire in conjunction with russian president putin between as a and armenia and made his feelings over recent well known developments in lebanon for all his efforts how much success has he achieved we have a president who resists so dark for. Each time he proposed mediation each time he proposed a plan for answer something that i doubt but. d no one success until now lebanon is a particularly sought issue when corn arrived in beirut in the days following those deadly blasts he hoped to instigate change he made pulled the lawns he wanted an interim government appointed fresh elections and an audit of the National Bank we need a new Political Initiative and im here to bring her good to coordinate and he broke the mold reaching out and holding talks with hezbollah that now backfired. Welcome president book wrong as a friend who loves lebanon and wants to help lebanon get out of its crisis but there is no authorization for the french president or anyone else to be guardian jaja must of been on. For some experts his intervention smacked of hypocrisy his position on lebanon is contradictory with his other stated. Positions for example when he went to algeria a few years ago he said that colonialism was a crime against humanity well if it was a crime against humanity then it surely wrong today for the french president to try to. To control the government of lebanon from paris last year as france hosted the g. 7 summit not call got the nod to negotiate with iran as tensions between the gulf state and the u. S. Looked ready to spiral out of control he pulled out all of the stops even flying the Iranian Foreign minister to the summit to hold talks u. S. President trump though appeared to be less enthusiastic about the situation is the president the british you know force of the Iranian Foreign minister if you have. No comment needless to say despite mackerels best efforts the u. S. And iran remain polar opposites no one can dispute that not corn has been in his undertakings he wants to make sure that france holds on to its International Client but for all his efforts some might be left wondering if he has perhaps more than he can chew charlotte r. T. Paris. The dong is in the dollars at sight the u. S. Has launched a probe into vietnams trade practices a move that could result in punitive tariffs the troubled ministration has invoked the same legal article that started a trade war with china. President trump assume we committed to combating unfair trade practices that tom americas workers businesses pharmacy and ranches unfair currency practices can harm u. S. Workers some businesses that compete with vietnamese products that maybe ought to officially lower the price because of currency undervaluation well it follows a decade of powerful growth in vietnamese exports to the United States a surging from 15000000000. 00 in 2010 dumbell 67000000000 dollars last year recently the trend has been accelerated by Firms Shifting their production to vietnam to avoid american tariffs on china political economy professor Jack Rasmussen thinks the investigation has a purely political motive the mystic politics but its never really curiosity manipulating and you know if the dollar is too high the currency is one of countrys not a decline or if youve got the global recession and the dollars going to what other countries currencies are falling more of the dollars you know the benchmark urgency well it looks like you know their their currency is being manipulated but you know manipulation means that you know you have a political move to try to throw its currency down its not because of Economic Conditions in this condition the United States. Needs to change rates are always on the dollar in relationship to another current sink if one rises the other naturally falls and vice versa so theres no currency manipulation or received news against china and that was false through this is all about domestic politics making it look like its going to do something.

Tony williams lost his wife to cancer cheering the cave at 19 locked down after 3 decades together but as is increasingly common for the older generation the loneliness that came with losing a longtime partner was devastating after my lovely wife died i found not only of her loss the loveliest person ive ever met. But i was on my own i was in an area i had no friends or family i was absolutely isolated put a couple of versions in the local paper but i didnt get in taters i had some cards printed a sort of introduction to myself although i distributed 29 nobody back the next thing was i had a poster printed put it up in my window had trouble is very few people walked past my window more than a 1000000 older people like tony can go for over a month without speaking to anyone a situation only worsened by lockdown but the media took up tonys cause and he was inundated with support the lovely thing was. Not so much the quantity the quality the lovely messages i get from all over the world a heartbreaking tale with a heartwarming ending not quite as many have found before him media fame can take a dark turn with an inevitable public backlash that backlash came from tonys neighbors who told me they were his friends and there for him in his time of grief they claimed the media circus was all a sham and the apparent rift with the people who call themselves his friends has ironically made tony more lonely than ever and some of them showing real anger about this to my face and some dont talk to me and i cant do anything about that this week ive decided to go for those 2 things in this 1st of all the awful associations with moving here job becoming ill joe going into hospital and then coming home and coming home to die i cant think of this place except in those but also because people have misunderstood my motivation so thats another reason for moving away it seems tony and his neighbors have differing ideas of what true friendship looks like i was looking for something called friendship.
