Were very concerned about the. European region because. Soon a resurgence and soon arrives in transmission. Is just so good afternoon from moscow my name is kevin irwin this is r. T. International with the latest update of this one story dominating a breakthrough the hopes of a lasting peace just may be a cease fire has come into force in the in the last. Noon local time there just about an hour ahead of us armenia and azerbaijan reached an agreement as the Foreign Ministers of both nations held marathon talks on friday moscow was russias biggest mediator. A ceasefire is announced from 12 pm on the 10th of october for humanitarian purposes to exchange the prisoners of war and other detained persons on the borders of the killed in line with red cross principles the specific parameters of the ceasefire will be agreed later. It took 10 hours for the 2 sides to come to terms the discussions wrapped up in the early hours of saturday the talks were held in a fully closed form neither armenian noise or by shall give a statement to the media afterwards russian president Vladimir Putin earlier called for an end to the hostilities which have caused huge damage and civilian casualties he goes down off in an armenian town right now brings us more. Its the 1st low in the fighting since the beginning of this latest escalation and to say that everyone here is hopeful and relieved that it would last would be an understatement every single refugee who we had a chance to talk to this morning every single citizen of this small border town in armenia everyone have been saying that well hopefully this will be over that the fighting is over for good. That theres this whole but these talks they havent been easy in fact they as you said theyve lost it for more than 10 hours and the foreign minister of there by john at least once left the site of the talks to go to the embassy apparently for consultations with the higher ups probably with the president himself just this is this is the level of decisions the Decision Making that was going on in moscow this night so really really tough negotiations the 2 sides will have to find a lot more Common Ground than they have right now because they both are adamant this issue is very very sensitive for both for instance this is this is how the armenian Prime Minister nicol passion and talked about the prospects of the truce before it was announced. We are committed to peaceful settlement of the curb of conflict and are ready to resume the Peace Process in accordance with the recent statements of the president s and Foreign Ministers of the cochairs always see me as group weve already had some reaction from the armenian authorities after the after the negotiations after the decision to implement to impose a truce in the guard a cab back essentially theyve expressed hope that it would last and also they thanked the thanked the thanked russia they thanked more school for making this possible in fact they thanked lattimer putin personally saying that he himself that he that he made a great effort to make this cease fire happen and now when it comes to the azerbaijani side they also theyre very adamant they want the say that they want their lands back but they are also saying that they are ready to do it peacefully here is how the president of us air by john i leave describe the situation again prior to the talks about the kind of bar is azerbaijan everyone should know this including those in charge of armenia today and i tell them again that if they commit fraud again after the moscow talks they will regret it we will take back our lands peacefully or through war unequivocally we want to organize it peacefully lets do it peacefully we are giving armenia one last chance one last chance so it seems that there by john is also committing to a peaceful resolution at least judging that they agreed to put their sign on the document that circular russian the Russian Foreign minister announced it tonight and now we will be traveling to nagornokarabakh shortly to bring you all the latest from the scene and to terror expert and legal analyst believes russias role has been crucial here in the conflict. Russias role in this particular conflict is incredibly important and notably because russia has a Good Relationship with both countries yes russia has a military alliance with armenia but russia has entered into agreements and engagements of both adviser on it and our media so lives are by john sears a close relationship with Turkey Russia has been able to broker deals between both countries in and of course russia is. Definitely the most powerful country most influential country in the region and so thats why its important that russia is involved in this that moscows lead in these peace talks and especially the involvement of the Minsk Group FranceUnited States and russia agreed to be involved in these talks in moscow i think its good it puts that pressure on it puts our pressure on at least both sides. Since the decades old conflict escalated nearly 2 weeks ago the fighting is only been intensifying as weve been reporting to you there are conflicting reports on both sides about casualties and videos have been released on a daily basis showing the destruction inside the disputed region and its surrounding areas meantime 1st reactions coming in austria this morning saying it welcomes the cease fire and hopes it leads to a juror pace with more on the agreement hes our Senior Correspondent reporting from istanbul. There were calls to both sides obviously and as yet about jobs from for all manner of leaders from all confidence begging them almost to seize to stop the pull back from the brink of before things got even more out of habit of frogs for example calling both sides taking an active role in all of this also accusing support of his a rise in by john and egging them on quote is an unacceptable and belligerent manager turkey was one of the few sides that actually took took aside one of the few countries that took a side in this conflict as saying that it was going to support us there by john to the un. Sutures mccomas and the mens group until now has not shown any real to resolve this problem the solution to that issue which is different since again greene says we should be told it is a very nice uncompromising and spilled attitude for nearly 30 years this was. What we saw during this latest escalation was truly truly tremendous a huge huge number of civilians killed even more injured enormous losses and manpower and equipment cluster bombs raining on the city of step on again on civilian areas this is confirmed by Amnesty International and the message from the International Community was the this conflict now is in the intensity that it came about was simply an accepted. But there was also grassroots protests online in various countries from hollywood and los angeles all the way to pass pro armenian protests those coming out crying what they saw as inaction by europe by the United States then we also saw protests by. John. Crowds and rallies demonstrations in germany for example nevertheless there is optimism now that these has been stopped that it is being brought to an end before this conflict could escalate even further. Than it is today the 2nd u. S. President ial debate that walsh for this thursday is now officially off of the 2 candidates teams couldnt agree on a new format the democratic side the Debate Commission suggested the much ship should be conducted online only but trump who says hes now queued of covert 19 refused that option and had tried to reshape jewel the event from his house more generally is the latest Sticking Point for democrats in congress who think it may be grounds to remove the president as kind of mopin explains. Nancy pelosi is known to be one of Donald Trumps biggest and most loyal fans shes on record telling us just how much she loves him and god bless her. Well shes so concerned now about Donald Trumps health that shes introducing legislation if a president suffers a crippling theres a cold or mental problem and his on end of the man match on able to discharge the powers and duties of his office and transfers his powers the 25th amendment of the u. S. Constitution and abels the president to be kicked out of office if hes rendered to be mentally or physically incapable in order for that to happen the Vice President and most of the cabinet needs to meet and declare the president to be unfit to lead the democrats are now looking to set up a mechanism where as congress would have a more of a say when it comes to the president s health nancy pelosi maintains this is not about this is not about President Trump he will face the judgment of the voters but he shows the need for us to create a process for a future president the president s allies say that this is yet another attempt by the democrats to push trump out of office. I wouldnt put it past speaker billows to to stage a coup says already weaponized impeachment whats to keep it from weaponize ing the 25th amendment who can forget last years failed impeachment proceedings im announcing the house of representatives moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry and directing our 6 committees to proceed with their investigations under that umbrella of the impeachment inquiry the president must be held accountable no one is above the law now nancy pelosi failed to remove donald trump in 2918 but apparently she has another plan up her sleeve she was sitting on it until just the right moment some of mention the possibility if they try to push through a nominee in a lame duck session the biju win this the house could move to impeach were not ruling anything out of protecting our democracy requires us to use every arrow in a quiver nancy pelosi makes no bones about the fact that shes been trying to remove donald trump from office all along shes been looking for any potential opening all i hear from the press is that im moving so swiftly like a blur going by this has been a couple of years 2 and a half cynthia and michel investigation and i know what he says or whatever headline he wants to carry around here impeached ever so with the election in less than a month weve got democrats possibly using constitutional maneuvers to try and remove trump from office just in case he wins at the polls that does not sound like a position of confidence but then again with so much fear about contested results this november nothing in american politics seems normal these days what she proposes is a new legislation to set up a permanent 17 urson commission to try to evaluate whether or not residents will this is something that they are made. Of representatives before the election but it certainly is not going to pass in the senate and. Ways president truckin so just so us laws theyve tried Everything Else take it or try to remove this seems to think that you put it to the new site ok ive tried it last week this to me is a dormice waste of resources and energy so most of the stuff is being carried out at a time when speaker refuses to engage in real negotiations about stimulus which is critically important to all americans. The coronavirus pandemic just wont let up as covert cases surge again a number of countries are bringing in new restrictions the u. K. France sweden italy the u. S. All among those have already introduced tougher measures israel now has gone back to a nationwide lockdown while in some European Countries new measures have being imposed on bars gyms and restaurants restrictions on large meetings outdoors or again in place or completely banned companies being told to send many of their employees to work from home theres been a lot of anger with the covert 1990 s. Around the globe with money lashing out in violent protests those essential but annoying masks you got aware of but a particularly touchy point when some people refuse its come to blows as weve reported a warning some violence things coming up again. There are good. Thing. Now that. You can be an economy but was so much focus on co with the World Health Organizations voicing alarm now the detrimental effect its having on other essential Health Services and medical access a survey showing 93 percent of Countries Worldwide have disrupted or halted mental Health Services is the 1st data showing the dreadful impact of covert 1000 globally on Mental Health care and stresses the urgency of increased funding we discussed it with the regional director of the w. H. O. Rob butler. People as they grow. As they become fatigued or tired or weary they also under the measures that have been implemented by many Member States by many countries they become isolated so they become alienates and they feel lonely in many situations so in that situation theyre more likely to feel a very high cost of the measures that theyre being asked to perform so im not saying that family members for example were not going to social gatherings do not have the usual behavior becomes a very high cost for them and so then less likely to actually go and where im asked to practice safe. Physical distance and were very concerned about that see here the w. H. R. Youre in region because we feel it could be contribution of course soon a resurgence into a rise in transmission of 19. To the weekend high the hopi a saturday is going good thanks for choosing us this is ahead as if all that psychological strain of the pun demick isnt enough now the World Bank Says over 100000000 are on the brink of extreme poverty because of the economic downturn but some people are still break in the cash too its an unfair world and its ahead. Join me every thursday on the alex island show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. I get almost a quarter of americans say they have less than 3 weeks of money reserves left meaning many could run out before novembers president ial election a Service Found a President Trumps announced tuesday theyll be no coronavirus stimulus talks with democrats until after the vote though its not only in the u. S. Of course for the pandemics widen the gap between rich and poor is double quarter explains. Over a 1000000 people across the globe have died from coronavirus related causes says billions more continue to struggle with the pandemics economic consequences things are looking up for the worlds billionaire minority for the 1st time ever their collective wealth has surpassed 10 trillion dollars billionaire wealth equates to a fortune and almost impossible to spend of a multiple life terms of absolute luxury anyone accumulating riches on this scale could easily afford to raise the pay of the employees who generate their wealth will contribute a great deal more in taxes to support Vital Public Services and all the while jobs are disappearing at an alarming rate the super is good even richer will mean the people around the world lost their jobs does not occur with students this is how the system works might be time for governments to step in right well they already have in fact theyre helping the ultra rich get even richer thanks to a loophole in the us this Coronavirus Relief package the wealthy ended up getting around 1700000. 00 worth of handouts and another 133. 00 Large Companies received 5000000000. 00 more from the treasury as for the u. K. Over 12000000000. 00 of government stimulus has gone straight into the pockets of corporations for the rest of humanity its unfortunate because extreme poverty is only getting closer to home between 88000000 and 150000000 people could fall back into extreme poverty as a result of the pandemic with an additional increase of between 23000000 and 35000000 in 2021 potentially bringing the total number of new People Living in extreme poverty to between 110000000. 15 the world bank defines extreme poverty is living on less than 1. 90 a day so as the ruling class continues to collect the billions of dollars in Government Charity you have to wonder how exactly society is benefiting as a whole from this degree of inequality it is a manifestation of capitalism. That is how capitalism handles of pandemic you can see a disproportionate impact low income workers have been laid off or fired run into unemployment much more than middle and upper income workers capitalist employers are keeping their jobs during the economic downturn but laying off millions of American Workers so you all are manically you react to a pandemic that way you worsen the inequality its the capitalist system and its operation there is in fact the cause of this growing obdurately for which there is no excuse possible. Demonstrations descended into chaos in the south african town of santa carla after thousands of predominantly white farmers surrounded the local Court Demonstrators wanted 2 suspects handed over to them whose case was to be heard in court the 2 black men stand accused of brutally murdering a white farmer crowd try to force their way into the farmhouse as police tried to hold them back the clashes saw a police van overturned and satellite and a few stun grenades thrown the protesters accuse the government of inaction on farm murders in south africa. I think people moving together and trying to make a statement to government to show that we will not take this anymore i think weve reached the point of no return and if government doesnt come to the party you know we wont take this anymore you feel alone you feel isolated you feel that you might be going next door to feel that its nobody its not just about the pharmacist. That by this it creates a scenario with violence becomes the norm of the day. The backdrop to the stories were brewing for a while but this particular one all came to a head following the grisly murder of 21 year old farm manager Brendan Horner last friday 2 cattle thieves have been detained in connection with the case now theyre suspected of torturing and then stabbing the man to death as a says just the latest in this string of similar attacks those south africas minister of justice stressed horners murder was no excuse for attacking the court he said he described the scenes as a narcotic violence and went on to say too that there was no place for such behavior in a democracy just a clerk from the farmer activist group summer coal Safety Association told us the governments been turning a blind eye to attacks on farmers. The problem is the pharmacist binny north for so long that nothing is done with our complaints nobody cares about us our president denies that farmer does exist that its a problem its not just a murder its a guy thats been tortured its been people being raped weve got a more nearly say weekly stocks they still couldnt see us and its a huge problem for us and it does not get investigated properly and when i talk about farmers and border it does not mean white people it is white and black people this groups of people that is performance in that proud to be formless we all have the same criminal stalking targeting us they was a black farmer just out of cynical move on a small brought last year weve got a huge problem on the rural areas we dont have the police close to us we are vulnerable from we we are living. Systems stokely to slow in dealing with the problems of people thats got court cases going back to see years doesnt get resolved those people get out and buy oil quickly and they perpetrate the same crimes over and over again for most want the mrs to go out we cant be ignored any longer put pressure on our government that the our plight can be heard all over the world footbridge in our government to look after all of its citizens. More sanctions on iran for their isolation the country from the worlds Financial Systems washington claims the move has to stop around sponsoring terror activities in developing Nuclear Weapons to iran denies those allegations and says the restrictions will only infer that the iranian people themselves. They made covert 19 pandemic us regime was to blow up our remaining channels to pay for food and medicine iranians will survive this latest of cruelty but conspiring to starve a population is a crime against humanity culprits and enablers who block our money will face justice and iran knows that i live been put on notice of you around with us if you do something bad we are going to do things to you that have never been done before not extremely president ial language there from donald trump but he got the message across the new sanctions freeze the u. S. Assets of 18 iranian banks which hits almost all the countrys Financial Institutions them and also places secretary sanctions on firms that do business with those banks all over washington claims the restrictions dont apply when it comes to basic necessities critics say foreign banks will be scared off from getting involved in humanitarian aid European Countries have reacted against previous u. S. Sanctions just last september the Foreign Ministers of france the u. K. And germany known as the 3 agreed to resist u. S. Demands to restore all u. N. Sanctions on iran World Affairs journalist Thomas Fassbender believes the sanctions are not just about targeting around the here but more about sending out a wider message to the bigger world too. Even if there is some mechanism in place that would still allow medical or humanitarian aid get into iraq. Any Foreign Company any frame bank that is dealing with the iran that is involved in such supplies they will have to d apply they will have to wait for a full licenses for cruel thats. From a practical point of view that can be no question that this will impede aid and support getting into the country it is a political move by the us the us or gambling on using their economic my their power over the Global Financial infrastructure to pacify any potential opponents from russia china iran. Even germany as are u. S. Sanctions now and lets see what this will lead to a. Final quick one seems mans best friends join the ranks against the Global Pandemic here in russia or a special dog breed as long as sniff covert cases and even the virus know what to hide. Well. Done all the procedures Pretty Simple there are 2 samples of noninfected and effective volunteers and the dogs are learning to identify covert infections by smell. They have an outstanding sense of smell its not only very keen but they also possess an ability for sweets from small concentrations to be kwans and vice versa which is very difficult for many other docs besides they are a small size which is convenient because they can squeeze through all easily that heaven in turn search ability. Yeah the more help about a good stuff the less it from our comfort of a social media stuff were talking about today as well about his 30 minutes starting off for now though we have a great weekend.
