Although his plan has come in for criticism and. I. Characterise police faced off with left wing radicals resisting attempts to fix an iconic swatches protest. Hello there good afternoon youre watching R T International just going 3 more. Searching for pace the Foreign Ministers of armenia and azerbaijan have agreed to meet in moscow over their conflict and to go on a cutback the announcement came after russian president Vladimir Putin called for an end to hostilities on humanitarian grounds our correspondent reports now from europe. So moscow is proving just how much its determined to end the 2 weeks of bloodshed in the pro armenian breakaway republic of nagornokarabakh and azerbaijan and these efforts are getting the proper response from armenia and azerbaijan the talks between the Foreign Ministers from moscow yairi and buck who are happening on friday in moscow so the invitations were sent they were accepted and certain of is the mediator in these talks now that is after the russian president Vladimir Putin spent hours on the phone with the leaders of both armenia and azerbaijan which makes us understand that some kind of 1st steps towards some kind of agreements were probably already made because otherwise they just wouldnt be heading to the russian capital now wait on thursday the russian president made a statement it appeared on the kremlin website in which he called d on both sides to immediately lay down arms and stop shooting russias president to school to be into the still exists in the government conflict zone for humanitarian reasons hes also suggested the 2 sides looked at an exchange of prisoners and the remains of those killed shortly before that president Vladimir Putin called the crisis in nagornokarabakh a real tragedy for 2 nations that are very close to russia the question is though to what extent armenia and azerbaijan are ready for an immediate and proper cease fire because when we listen to armenia and azerbaijan officials speaking we can hear that they are always expecting the other side to take the 1st step to this is where it should not be one sided because as hans that we had ceasefire stopped him from 99 people who are under negotiations. That what he did as a result nothing that were just going to get to the peaceful solution but what we see lately is that our media is continuing to provocation. Conflicts should be resolved by mutual considerations. Whos ready for it and mean you will make concessions if as a bush is also ready for them the war in nagornokarabakh the escalation that has already proved to be the worst in decades is also being discussed here in the area of honor as the prime ministers of russia belle risk. And armenia are getting together now that was a preplanned event for a post soviet integration block where loads of things are being discussed but without any doubt whats happening in the car back is the primary focus during the talks here as well. The shooting hasnt let up and shelling has devastated in the story cathedral in the back while 3 russian journalists who were nearby at the time were injured one of them seriously heres the aftermath of the shelling which targeted the church twice in one day the Armenian Foreign Ministry is blaming is eerie forces for both attacks in the region saying their opponents pose a challenge to the civilized world meanwhile is eerie Authorities Say that 7 people were injured in recent shelling by Armenian Forces rockets hit a restaurant in the city of daraa and severely damaged a secondary school there too the fighting has intensified over the last couple of weeks and casualties havent been limited to the front line either with civilians ending up victims as well the fiercest clashes have been reported in the south of the disputed region when r. T. Is near the border there and talk to some of the armenian women who have sent their sons to war and they spoke of both pride and worry the sentiments echoed on the other side. Arsenic lives a modest life as shes inviting us in her apartment its almost like weve traveled back in time the house is 137 years old and has been home to generations of her ancestors she offers us coffee and to see astley be good to talk about her son fighting in the back while he was conscripted when he came of age the usual service he was on the 7th of january he had been serving for 10 months or he was in hundreds from the very beginning from base to chechnya and backwards i didnt know that he was sent to the front line i found out by chance he hadnt called me for 4 days afterwards and when he called he said nothing about being on the frontline others told me about it. His son is fighting on the Southern Front near the town of the desert for a 1000000 forces its a life or death bastion of defense and for their by journeys a clue szell gateway to flood the region with own troops. As mc son is right there trying to stop the relentless onslaught of his enemy his mother waits patiently for an occasional call from him when they do come theyre all too brief for his own safety all he can tell is everythings fine. He calls me i dont he calls me to say that hes fine and thats it it doesnt happen often once in 23 days at the beginning he used to call me once in 4 days now more often the war hasnt changed my routine a lot but we do communicate a lot with other mothers whose kids are on the front asking each other about them we all have kids serving i can share my emotions in church. Only i feel bad but i can sure it only when i light a candle in church i keep everything inside. Sending a son into the line of fire is soul destroying for any mother but in this conflict it seems there is no greater on up yes apart im proud of having such a child no mother knowing there is currently a war in the garden a car bomb will call me rest her head on a pillow during calls and conversations he always told us that he was very far from the front line we learned that he had been allocated to serve in the guard of karbala and im very proud you support them. Im proud to the to have a son who is a soldier now serving in one of the military units in the one car a buck i know theyre strong i know how hes doing hes in the fight in spirit and he inspires me to be strong here at home asked me kobes the fighting will be over soon and his son will come home and return to his studies before the conflict intervened with life hed only just graduated from high school and had started university he wants finance to be his line of work but right now hes on the frontline of war this sentiment is not exclusive to this side of the front line as are you mothers equally as proud of their boys advancing on the enemy. Both my sons completed their military service with distinction when the conflict started my oldest son was already on the frontline im proud of both of them both of them volunteered my oldest is there now and the 2nd one is waiting hes ready to go there any moment hes an excellent mood hes ready to carry out any order any word of our president. My son just came back from the army when the conflict began after september is events when our enemies once again attacked our country he was conscripted again to exercise 1st and then to the frontline my son is there now defending his country who speak by phone when there is a possibility to do it he always says to me that everything is fine. Overwash among a week before the war began my son volunteered it was when the very 1st conflicts emerged he was immediately sent to the front line you always wanted our lands to come back to us that is why he volunteered i mean mothers are mothers too i dont want their children to die nobody understands a mother better than another mother they should call their children back now made them targets on foreign land and we just dont have reporting from the border with nagornokarabakh see. The french president emanuel macro him has a new plan to teach arabic in the Country Schools he says it is a way of combating extremism rather than teaching the language in religious associations or in mosques but the idea has come under a hail of criticism from both the right and the left as our correspondent shouted bin skate by reporters. On the plans announced by president korn france is fighting back against separatism and a deviation away from the secular nature of the republic but the law which is yet to be fully drafted and released has been seen as an attack against islam that point speech did they kill to alleviate those concerns. The problem is islam ist separatism this conscious theorize politico religious project which materializes in repeated deviations from the values of the republic which often results in the constitution of a counter society and whose manifestations of the drop out of children the development of Community Based sports and cultural practices which are the pretext for teaching principles which do not comply with the laws of the republic french authorities fear that children and Students Learning arabic in mosques all being taught by religious associations could fall prey to indoctrination by ism midsts and in a bid to have more control the government plans to expand its availability in schools but not everyone is convinced that its a good idea according to a new poll some 69 percent of respondents would not in favor so what do people here in paris make of the idea yes for me it is a good idea today people from around the world have a right to speak their language and to teach arabic in our schools is a good idea because we have a lot of young people from North West Africa and europe. Personally and completely against this idea because here in france there are too many generals ations we point the same march of muslims when there are more serious matters but who i dont really have an opinion on that but it has to be controlled might be a good idea or if there are other languages it might be a good idea to learn. Arabic hebrew italian Spanish English all these languages i think thats a really good idea i think people do with these want to do if theyre interested its critics have also rounded on it the note saying it is being counter productive its ridiculous its the best way to boost the proliferation of quranic schools or denominational schools if we want to islam ice france this is the best way to get there the language of the republic is french institutionalizing learning of the arabic language in schools is cowardice and a mistake but even if arabic classes or more widely offered there is no indication there would be a prolific appetite for them its currently the most popular Foreign Language chosen by 11 to 15 year olds and figures show that only about 0. 2 percent actually study it whats not clear yet and this is perhaps where the concern comes from is whether or not under the new plans arabic will become part of mandatory lessons here in france if that was the case it is likely to feel the fire of those who believe teaching arabic in schools only fosters communitarianism and blues the feeling of patriotism the exact opposite of what mr more theres nothing wrong with teaching in school what. I think is a message and i think thats where all the french are. Going to if we dont want to push and shrink integration if we want to help communities that are trying to live together. And which is one of the best instruments which can be used to get people around to get along together of course we teach the other languages even the president is in favor of teaching the arabic language so i think we shouldnt mix the subjects and say as ive also heard people saying online that teaching arabic. It is an act of separatism you know that arabic has existed here for a long time and it never brought me that radicalism or terrorism because there is this specific branch of muslims who naturally make the headlines but this is a branch thats not all muslims dont generalise. That there were violent scenes in berlin this Morning Police faced off with left wing demonstrate his authorities did move in to evict an iconic squatters protest. Later in the day this friday Berlin Police did manage to evict the at the activist the operation began around daybreak with his money as 1500. 00 police in riot gear to pull out at the site the officers forced their way into the buildings through the windows clearly clearing the building of all 57 occupants a court in berlin had feel that the activists should return the property to its owner the lease on the house expired 2 years ago but the Community Still refused to leave. Still to come election day is creeping ever closer in the us but the next debate is up in the air after donald trump says he wont do it remotely plus our guests also give us their thoughts on the potential for election violence the details to come. Join me every thursday on the alex simon shore and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see you then. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation community. Are you going the right way or are you being led so. Direct. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Aura made in the shallows. Hello again you with r. T. Now the next us president ial debate looks increasingly like it wont happen the commission on president ial debates did suggest holding the event fur chilly due to donald trump contracting corona virus but the president is now rejected that idea saying hell only do it face to face. So youre saying youre not going to participate and no im not going to waste reexamine a virtual debate thats not what debating is all about you sit behind a computer and do a debate its ridiculous and then they cut you off whenever they want will trump our proposed shuttling the next year and the democrats want to remove trump based on his health yesterday House Speaker nancy pelosi did hint that the democrats would look at using the 25th amendment to oust the president but its the cabinet including the Vice President who must invoke that provision not Congress Trump has yet to respond to pelosi as planned or so as the debate is hanging by a thread then a new poll does show growing fears over where the election will lead to more than half of respondents to say that they believe violence will increase over novembers results people 6 expect to see riots looting and or safe cities in flames apparently at the same time just under 2 thirds the fear that the country could be on the verge of civil war so its all being justified well my colleague col embrace spoke to our panel of experts on the issue. It seems that postelection dooms being predicted whoever comes out on top next month they correct as i was going to happen i dont know if i would or i should certainly course need some additional civil rights were allowed civil war over the past few months violence i dont know but the level of civil war however you do have this being very very high or certainly politicians drum an extra year in the heat of each other causes people to get scared in sometimes it incites people to violence but when you look at the actual policies of the republicans and democrats once theyre elected and serve in office the actual policies are almost the same the systematic violence that is our daily diet across this country already regardless really of all who wins will certainly try to victory. Its fascism and why supremacy in the drivers seat again for you is the coals for action from disgruntled groups a louder than calls for calm and that its a joke at all thats already been rolling through 2020 but we know its a strange year you know weve had the country shut down for the past 6 months weve had people who are marginalized economically who dont have the opportunity to work from home they have found themselves bearing the brunt of the law. Of the country and that of course people who are deaf aeration the 4th riot people america has indeed as divided stratified and polarized d as ever right wing violent elements are certainly ready at the beck and call of trump to fly into action in large segments of the population a very worried about every time a president s up for election the people in the media say this is the most important election of our lifetimes and if you dont vote for this bad republican or this bad democrat the worlds going to come to the end were going to have violence in the streets so i think its over and in reality most americans dont want violence with this have happened and i would america be in this state now is it 4 years of trump or would it have happened anyway well certainly on a trump is down plea to spend any interim has not taken this seriously hes prioritized other since i mean how is he showing up at the white house is if today was a normal day imagine if one of us showed up at studio our at our jobs when he was still contagious we called it john a down plea that signals the wrong things to the rest of the country i think coronavirus is natural and republicans or democrats whoever was in charge neither could have done much different and wed probably see the same i think its unfair to blame either party for it however when you look at this disease cope with the infection take paladin rate about on par with hulu has a 99. 9 percent survival rate except for some very specific. Categories of people so there has been a politicization of a medical problem in the United States this its ironic because the democrats blame trump for not taking it seriously enough but at the same time they blame trump for messing up the economy when he tried to shut things down so you really you know you cant win when you politicize a medical situation like this one aside from the president ial debate them being derailed by the pandemic new lock time measures in new york are angering religious communities with more on that his candidate often. With covert numbers rising in new york city once again andrew cuomo the governor is bringing the hammer down religious places of worship and schools are now closing now that sounds like common sense but religious communities are giving him quite a bit of backlash here is why i mean yes. Was we were we were Orthodox Jews say they are being singled out they have taken to the streets to protest and they say they are planning a legal action against Governor Cuomo i hope we can avoid it but as i said before if that we dont make any progress and were left with what we are now we would. Probably ask courts to issue a temporary restraining order until we can figure this all the while the Orthodox Jews say theyve been singled out the Roman Catholic community is also quite upset a high ranking bishop from the Roman Catholic church is speaking out catholic churches in brooklyn queens have not had any covert outbreak so significant cases since reopening on july the 5th to 25 percent capacity we fervently objects to being told to for that reduced capacity because we have strict did to cope with 19 protocols and the Safety Measures have been working now the parents of children who attend Roman Catholic schools are also objecting they say that cuomo should punish the guilty close down the schools where covert is spreading but not blanket shutdown all educational institutions Governor Cuomo appears to be losing patience with those who complain about his wrist strict sions we have to close the temple because its over 50 percent ill do it we have to close a Roman Catholic church ill do it i had to close the st patricks day parade i did it. Now the government is not supposed to interfere with people freely practicing their religion except in very dire circumstances now Governor Cuomo and many others would argue that a Global Pandemic is exactly that however many catholics and jewish people disagree who will win now we shall see. New york. To down one of the poorest nations in the world is facing a major struggle to severe flooding last month the consequences are still being acute he felt in 16 countries 18 regions the authorities have put in place a 3 month state of emergency.

Youre watching us the International Thanks the company the soft name were back with more news and views at the top of the. Theres a threshold at which. Big tobacco realised what they were doing and that they continue to do it they continued to put more and more things into cigarettes that made them more addictive and made me want to smoke more of them and the point im trying to make is that social media and in particular these artificially intelligent algorithms are doing the same thing.
