With petrol bombs and stones broke into the National Parliament which houses the president ial office. I was actually. I. I well the countrys Health Ministry is reporting more than 120 people have been injured about half of those are Police Officers the opposition is that morning a new election as the vote was dominated by the 2 progovernment parties both taking 107. 00 out of the 120. 00 contested seats and many claim vote was rigged after opposition parties were said to have failed to meet the minimum needed to win a seat. Central square has previously been the flashpoint of 2 revolutions in 20052010 over the last decade the former soviet republic has enjoyed relative stability. And to our top story more than a week since a decades old conflict between armenia and azerbaijan bust back to life there is little sign of peace on the horizon fighting still raging over the disputed region of nagornokarabakh a conflict stretching back more than 3 decades the region is controlled by ethnic amini and sport is internationally recognized this part of azerbaijan has been almost continuous shelling and about scalpels all over the past week here some footage filmed by the Armenian Defense ministry. Or now all civilities are now spreading beyond the disputed territory with several towns in azerbaijan being here its thats according to the government it claims some were struck by missiles there are media disputes that goes down of reports from the troubled region. Things like this one common here in the go and i care about in fact this tiny village alone was battered by 6 massive missiles here is where one of them landed and this is all the devastation that it has left but it is not where the azerbaijanis had hoped where it would land because we about we were just a few 100 meters away from the airport of stop on occurred and here the airport its much bigger than just taking people from point a to point b. Its political its a symbol of independence and the symbol of allegiance of the local government to the authorities of armenia and that is why there by john isnt happy at all that its here in fact since since this airport was renovated and became operational again back in 2012 it became a regular target of attacks in fact it went as thereby john went as far as threatening to shoot down planes coming in and out of this airport but later backtracked saying that it would never target civilians but even if it doesnt even as it doesnt target civilians specifically well they still get the short end of the stick as you can clearly see but i talked to them i talked to the owner of this house who still lives here and hes told me that hes not going anywhere. Ive lived here for almost 20 years and i dont want to move away i will work your instant into the end of my life and hes not the only one its the general mood here as people prefer to stay and live in their homes even of bombs fall on their heads because done of reporting from the disputed region of nagornokarabakh. We spoke earlier to the red cross who say locals are following cells in an almost impossible situation. Its having a terrible impact on civilians the humanitarian consequences are already apparent were on the ground across the region and what we are seeing and hearing is that people are absolutely terrified being forced to make really impossible decisions on how to keep themselves and their families safe people are reportedly on the move trying to find shelter on top of statistics is all happening in the context where winter is coming people have already been dealing with global covert pandemic we have been helping hospitals in the corner kyra back on a quest weve helped with emergency medical supplies our teams in the field its quite restricted in terms of what they can do because of the volatility of the situation because the fighting is so intense in places so we havent actually even been able to get out and do a full assessment as we as we would like to do but obviously people people do need support and people need help and where we can weve been stepping up and we obviously hope to do a lot more. Or u. N. Says more than 40 civilians have been killed the disputed region since the fighting broke out just over a week ago a Senior Adviser to president gave us his views on the escalating conflict. Army. Doctor calls to this course and we have seen other patients army life so all of this tense i once again the muscle to be able to come down the road side the exactly d happened and the distance of september. As a chance to come to the church and home to attack on the news was appropriations. Intensive and share with us that which. Was i have received or i just was in one hour or 2 souls and. Landed after sequester which i just scored in the. Mirror so those. Odds are severe then. The pool also but you know i think they can use it as a government but these 2 are. In israel despite new coronavirus rules by adding Mass Gatherings tens of thousands rallied over the weekend demanding the Prime Ministers resignation Benjamin Netanyahu is handling of the pandemic dozens were arrested reporting from tel aviv heres paula. Was i was well over the weekend we saw tales of thousands of protesters demonstrating against the israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now mass protests are currently forbidden in the country and people are only allowed to gather within one kilometer from their home so the result is that was small we saw hundreds of small demonstrations taking place in tel aviv was one of the scenes where those demonstrations was altered in violence. Now the local police chief has complained to criticize protesters for using violence against Police Officers for example throwing eggs we know that 38. 00 protesters were arrested in tel aviv alone for the violation of public water and at the same time for attacking Police Offices many protesters disturbed order blocked roads to ignore distractions of officers resorted to physical and verbal violence a large majority of virtually broke the emergency regulations when they gathered with no distancing not Wearing Masks and danger in Public Health now one of the organizations that has organized the protests is known as the black Flags Movement and it is to make that there were 100000. 00 out on the streets of the weekend that think it is difficult to independently verify it but what we are hearing from organizers is that this is an historic fateful moment they say that they will not be silenced at the organizers threatening. The protests will not stop but will instead grow until the Prime Minister netanyahu leaves his post this comes as criticism against the police in the way that they have been handing the whole protest also grows we heard from the countrys defense minister. The attacks on protesters tonight and in recent days around thinkable demonstrations were held in accordance with the guidelines are religious and essential parts of a democracy i call in the police to find the attackers and bring them to justice now the countrys Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to insist that the way hes been handling the protests is legitimate and particularly the way hes been handling the whole pandemic is experiencing its 2nd lockdown however its likely that these protests against the Prime Minister will continue in the weeks and months to come theyre criticizing the way hes been handling coverage 19 and also they calling out against his corruption charges. Tough new global restrictions assert to come into force in paris arent surrounding suburbs because of big spike in prices in the area well actually on saturday france registered 17000 thats the highest number of bone infection since the product began heres our correspondent in paris shot at the risk. Well the announcements came sick and fast on monday with the 1st announcement the limit on the number of people who can gather together there is a ban on more than 10 people gathering together in public spaces and in places like stadiums there is a limit of a 1000 people doesnt apply to protests if they have got the ability to go ahead now we know that bars will shut down in paris and the in the suburbs from tuesday but restaurants will be able to remain open a restaurant will be defined as a place whose main activity of business is selling meals but the selling of alcohol and the consumption of alcohol is. Public spaces will be banned after 10 pm in the evening now outlining these measures the paris police prefects said that this was because the epidemic was coming too hard too fast and something need to be done before it overwhelmed the health system. The measures will be taken for the next 15 days with a reassessment at the end of these 15 days to see whether or not we will renew a certain number of measures whether we will change them. Other announcements are a band of festival student parties and we know that swimming pools games rooms and dance halls will all be closed as a result of the new measures outlined and universities will see a repeat deuced capacity of only 50 percent of the numbers that they can normally hold the mare of paris described the measures as being very hard. And we know that the Health Crisis is have an extremely dramatic consequences for many families and dramatic consequences for the Economic Activity of our country and our capital theres also be concern from Industry Groups over the fact that those bars will close they say that thats going to force young people into drinking at home and that they wont be any Health Protocols there anybody watching them while they do that and the president of one bar cafe in braz a Re Association said the situation has been so tough on Business Owners that many of them now having to take depressants it is a Great Sadness it will be an Economic Disaster im afraid that economically and psychologically the damage will be much greater than the gruner virus there is also being and go down in france is 2nd city of mass say and thats because theyre less than impressed by the fact that restaurants will be allowed to stay open in paris if you just think back to a week ago when marsay was put in a maximum alert zone they were told all of the restaurants would have. It closed now there were protests and people going out to the streets unhappy with those restrictions but there is a question now as to whether the paris by allowing restaurants to remain open is receiving some sort of preferential treatment so it seems that these covert restrictions are perhaps more controversial than many people would have thought. Left hospital and returned to work after days of treatment for corona virus in his new tweet the president again tells people not to be afraid of the virus despite the fact over 200000 americans have lost their lives the worlds worst death toll in the pandemic learn so much about corona virus and one thing thats for certain dont let it dominate you dont be afraid of it i didnt feel so good and 2 days ago i could have left 2 days ago today is going to feel great were going back were going back to work going to be out front and you leader i had to do that and i know theres a risk theres a danger but thats ok and now im better and maybe im immune i dont know but dont let it dominate your lives get out there be careful we have the best medicines in the world on sunday evening trump briefly left his ward to greet supporters outside the Walter Reed Hospital traveling in his motorcade the president waved to the crowd while wearing a mask over theres still much speculation about the exact circumstances of him fall ill with the details heres. I want to experience the roller coaster of being an american in october 2020 so a bit of a stretch i know but imagine i mean media pundit in the us off to trumps covert announcement so my 1st question obviously when was he diagnosed just 72 hours into the diagnosis now the 1st week but 72 hours that means he found out on wednesday not on thursday as he said i must sniff out more inaccuracy as confusions and conflicting reports the time night is my 1st query of course but that has been cleared up in a memo not that convincing though the white house is clearly sketchy and involved in some kind of cover up also there was a misspelling in the memo im sure we can read something into that something terrible and sketchy obviously then we come to symptoms of the bad are they very very bad how fatal is oxygenation levels how bunning is his fever was he taken to hospital because hes literally at deaths door as before its clear the white house is covering it all up i must be aware and not just the doctors who say hes actually feeling fine his videos while probably a body double think. Were going to make sure things were the 1st ladys doing vista fever while i bet i and my funeral outfit he doesnt have one was the Washington Post perhaps not particularly encouraging either way lets pass the wost Case Scenario and even back to the power not to my pants of course no no to not see pelosi shes a good solid democrat then thats the question of intent some of my colleagues are suggesting that trump was a no win super spreader what should we do with such covert criminals look them up of course comes drilling new to find people of this constitutes Reckless Endangerment in the 1st degree he presented a genuine risk of death to another person in a way demonstrating a deprived indifference to human life. So blown trump knew he had covert 19 traveled on a plain spoken event went into peoples faces traveled back never wearing a mask or telling anyone that he was exposing everyone in his a space to covert 90 mph in the hospital. If trump knew he had killed that 19 at the time who debate to joe biden he should be charged with assault oh speaking of the debate even molony is not as innocent as she looks molony was the only trump Family Member who wore a mosque during the debate then she took it off when she went up on stage with the bidens were was she purposefully trying to infect joe biden dont put it past her shes evil just listen to the tapes on the topic of those tapes its obvious from these leaked phone calls with her trusted formally 8 that she didnt really miss being in the white house. Working that. I knew. About. It so its agreed shell stop at nothing to stay for a few more festive seasons meanwhile as my colleagues predict trumps imminent death there are some out there who are sharing it on president trips in a hospital from colbert and i just was same our heart goes out to covert. Social media platforms even had to step in and take down the thousands of posts wishing trump dead i mean if twittering coa delete and contest against donald trump we know its descended into chaos either way all those people who already dancing on traumas killed a grave need not worry because that chosen candidate might be the oldest democratic nominee ever but you know matata hes an a for the long run these. Things are going. To be very busy this is. Just. Because. Its my can say is this is really building anticipation for the upcoming 3 peat debate which if you really think about it all Things Considered looks a lot like a president ial debate i cannot wait for november. The Global Chemical weapons watchdog says its ready to show russia the evidence it requested prove novacek was used to poison kremlin critic Alexei Navalny very c. W. Also says its ready to send a team to russia to work with local experts on the ground i mean while the Russian Foreign ministers at the position adopted by western counterparts over the case. Is their words this is just a mockery of common sense in my opinion it is clear to everyone it is also clear to our western colleagues who are denying our request which is based on a Binding International convention well here is mentioning a European Convention which outlines the rules of International Legal assistance in this particular case moscow is outraged by the fact that berlin has already nord 3 requests from moscow for a joint investigation on what happened to the opposition activists alexina volley in russia hasnt seen any evidence russian officials were trying to ask for some kind of probe test results they were trying to get access to alexina volley diplomats in particular but none of that how up and volley is now out of the hospital but the european officials from germany and france in the 1st place keep blaming russia and threatening moscow with sanctions if the. Victim or there was very clearly insults and them assassination attempts that was made on russian soil against a russian opponent with a chemical agent in 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 clarification on. Our call. In russia to do more to investigate this case a case such as this must have consequences the therefore reserves the right to impose sanctions on the head of the German Government angola merkel has been more cautious in her statements shes calling on everyone to wait for the results of a report by the organization for the prevention of the use of chemical weapons the oh p c w we remember that germany passed all the information it allegedly has on. To that organization but russia maintains that the 2 countries could cooperate bilaterally on investigating this case i can also tell you that angle marco house visited a likes a volley and a hospital while he was still there and now. In his part continues to maintain that moscow is looking forward and is absolutely interested in a joint investigation of the alleged poisoning and this has been moscows line from the very beginning heres what else the Russian Foreign minister said. Of course we are interested in establishing the truth about what happened with election of only as soon as possible but the situation is outrageous its exactly the same scenario as in the socalled script palled case where the charges were announced but no facts were presented.

An indigenous family in kind of this quebec province of filed a lawsuit against the hospital for a woman died while medical staff were caught on camera insulting her. Last 137 the mother of 7 had been admitted to hospital with severe stomach pains and a history of heart problems so her final hours joyce lifestream her treatment in a hospital just a warning to views you might find the following video distressing.

Well i am here to ensure justice would do is justice when my children justice for my nation i am convinced that systemic racism contaminated hospital and killed my partner.
