Warring parties blame each other for ongoing shelling despite a cease fire that was agreed just a few days ago. Good morning thanks for joining us here on r. T. International. Ok lets begin in france where president emanuel has announced strict new rules to be applied to paris and other major cities in response to covert 19 a nighttime curfew will be enforced as of this weekend for a minimum of 4 weeks. We have made a decision to impose a curfew it will be in force in the paris region 8 other french cities a new nationwide state of health of urgency has been declared in france as president mark on outline new stricter measures to try and defeat cove 19 hes announced a curfew that will take place not just here in paris but in 8 other of the worst affected cities across france that will come into force on saturday and will be from 9 pm in the evening until 6 am in the morning and it will be strictly enforced with the 1st time that you are caught outside without a good reason with a fine of 100 35. 00 euros but that will go up to 1500. 00 euros for repeat offenders when southers measures will be in place for at least 4 weeks but the government wants to try and push that to 6 weeks taking it to december 1st and he said president michel and this would be strictly enforced i. E. If you like a restaurant half an hour away you will need to leave the restaurant by half 8 in the evening he also talked about reducing private gatherings saying that 6 was the magic number and he said if you are with friends and families at a private gathering and you couldnt be more than one metre away from each other you would still have to wear a mask well there was thick and furious reaction to those announcements by president mack on. 60 percent of infections happen to work schools or universities between 8 and 7 pm but macron is banning people from going out to bars restaurants between 8 pm and 6 am welcome to absurdity there must be great disappointment among medics tonight who have heard no announcements of extra personnel Material Support or present back and said this was about trying to bring down the number of 1000 infections that came as the latest figures showed there were almost 23000 new cases of the virus in the 24 hours to wednesday with 104 deaths in present back and said that the Health Care System was simply overloaded with stuff being exhausted and he said that the situation was more worrying now than it had been during march at the start of the 1st wave of the pandemic now these measures will also of course affect restaurants and he said that they would be help for people who worked in those sorts of businesses with 90 percent of pay basic pay being covered by the state but you can imagine that many businesses who are already hard hit by covert 1000 are probably worrying about what the future will hold for them now and present back and said that france would have to live with this virus until at least the summer of 2021 so not just a long winter ahead but possibly a long spring and a long summer for france as even stricter measures could be put in place if as president machen said people do not respect the rules and those numbers of covert 9000 infections are not brought down. We spoke with the director for Red Cross International he supports the tougher restrictions. The stuff for mention measures are welcome and we as the red cross today called out for political leaders to intervene in our speedy courageous any inclusive way to ensure that these measures are put in place to protect the health and the social economic status of of the people of france and in many other countries in europe or many countries are being taken little bit by surprise by the iraq surge all cases and so the are many countries are reacting within the departures 48 hours with new measure that being put in place what is needed at the moment to ease. Measures that can reduce the deferred a transmission but measures that can also bring people along and this is critical you know order to ensure that those measures are actually effect people.

Rays show us splintered bones and torn muscles all this suggests that the weaponry has changed a lot but there are very few cases of gunshot wounds here basically these are injuries from explosive mines cluster rockets and so on they are high energy explosives which leave incomparable damage in us. When huge conflict broke out just over 2 weeks ago but it has roots that go all the way back 3 decades with on and off balance of conflict the contested regions mostly inhabited by Ethnic Armenians however its legally part of as a bodyguard these very government said again thursday morning that its territory was under fire.

Rising unemployment and a climbing death toll thats what the u. K. s labor party says will come from the Prime Ministers coronavirus measures bring you all the details in a story stay with us ill be back in a moment. Join me every 1st week on the alex salmond short and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business im sure ill see you there. Welcome back to the United Kingdom has a new daily record of coronavirus cases on wednesday as they surpass 19000. Seem unhappy with Boris Johnsons latest strategy for combating covert 90 k. Part explains from london. If coronavirus has taught us and the u. K. s Prime Minister one thing its that its wise not to joke about it during an impromptu meeting of conservative m. P. S Boris Johnson reportedly quit the ruin of 6 social distancing policy would mean families could escape celebrating christmas with their inlaws one of several attempted gags which apparently fell very flat but while some tories rage that government decisions are bankrupting the nation the opposition are worried that those policies are costing the country lives and labor leader. A partial return to lock down the governments plan simply isnt working another course is needed. Thats why im calling for a 2 to 3 week Circuit Breaker in england a Circuit Breaker is a short period of strict social restrictions aimed at bringing the virus under control this comes after it was revealed the government scientific advisors urged m. P. s to impose a fortnight long long down as far back as september the 21st instead johnson and as a 3 tier system of measures including a 10 pm pub curfew and advice to work from home we stood to curbs in the worst hit areas and he is ready to lock the country back down the whole point is to speak to seize this moment now to avoid the misery of another National Lockdown and i dont want nothing of course in combating the virus but we are going to do with the local and the regional approach the policy as indicated by those tory m. P. s concerns is driven by the vast economic burden of the pound demick one think tanks predicted that almost 3000000 people will be unemployed by christmas after the chancellors furlough scheme ends on october the surgery 1st while more than 2000000 people in england on the governments shielding list and considered vulnerable to coronavirus due to Health Issues will mostly be told to take precautions but not to stay at home to the anger of patients groups of people who for example are on it was because were simply not at it so you know work are able to have some protections it does have financial protection you talked about that this is a very high risk area such as a little closer like that they are not going to work however theres no protection for these new Financial Support they may be able to get. Only a deal is done locally so actually the choice between whether to go to work briskly on public transport and of course needing to keep her job is very difficult once in a as the situation worsens within the country the government remains on the horns of the ultimate di lemma. How do they save lives without bankrupting the country for Boris Johnson and everyone this is no laughing matter Kate Partridge r. T. London. But im also mentions on russia are in the queue could see a brussels the agreed to bring in new penalties this thursday about the alleged poisoning of russian opposition figure alexina valley correspondent peter all of a brings us up to speed with the latest elite is a gathering in brussels on thursday and friday for an e. U. Council summit in which theyll be discussing the coronavirus the response from the block to a rise in infections also breaks it as well set for a high place on those talks that will be taking place but sanctions against russia will also be up for discussion on monday e. U. Foreign ministers and mounts that sanctions would be put in place they agreed to those for the alleged poisoning of alexina valmy we still dont know what form those sanctions will take exactly its understood that they will be against 6 senior officials and one organization taking the form of asset freezes and travel bans those are the type of sanctions that the e. U. Council can push through without any further approval in response the Russian Foreign minister sergei allowed for all of threatened to suspend diplomatic relations between russia and the European Union he also said that the sanctions could have an impact on the future of doing business with europe last there was no go through a process the question is not just whether business as usual is possible but whether any business with the European Union is possible at all the e. U. Behaves arrogantly towards us and looks condescendingly down at russia demanding answers from us for all the crimes it imagines we have committed i think were under no obligation to respond to about. The sanctions were proposed by france and germany in the document put forward berlin and paris say that theyre looking to target individuals responsible for the poisoning of mr and the family also a body involved in the chemical weapons program. Wants time to michigan in the last years we have strived for a reasonable relationship with russia but also in the common interest of russia for cooperation in solving International Crises at the same time we must notice the specific incidents charge the bilateral relations and we need to ensure that a violation of the chemical weapons treaty which is one of the most acceptable agreements of human rights doesnt remain without consequences and on that we have a consensus at the european level in mind. By just russia denies the allegations that have been made against it moscow sent 4 official requests to berlin for germany to share the information the evidence that germany says it has of the poisoning of alexei no felony russia needs that information they say in order to carry out an investigation the Russian Foreign minister has encouraged his European Partners to observe well the set standard of International Law he will also use approach of an avowedly case is totally unacceptable 5 b. You countries claim they have established the truth but when we request them to provide evidence of their conclusions that they say this is outrageous so let me be clear what we want is for the e. U. In germany to abide by International Law there are the conventions on cooperation in criminal probe we appeal to those conventions asking germany to abide by the norms of International Law and germany basically replies by saying you know what you have International Law but we have our own rules and the rule is this if you dont believe you are guilty it was back in august that alexina found they took ill on a flight from site b. To moscow he was brought here to berlin where he spent 2 weeks in a juice coma receiving treatment of a shot at a hospital he was discharged last week and is currently undergoing physiotherapy in other parts of recovery as an outpatient remaining in germany so far we will find out more about the sanctions we hope on thursday leaders in the for the e. U. Council are gathering in brussels around lunchtime as soon as we get any news coming out of that meeting we bring to you here on r. T. A controversial New York Times project which labeled slavery as the most significant aspect of u. S. History has sparked a round between the papers own writers on color most wrote the 1619 project was a failure and got this response from the papers Employee Union it says a lot about an organization when it breaks its own rules and goes after one of its own the act like the article reeks team was the year the 1st slave ship arrived in the colony of virginia the writers argue that date should be considered the birth year of the u. S. Rather than 776 the year of independence being declared the project gained plenty of publicity and the creators even won a Pulitzer Prize last week New York Times columnist Bret Stephens wrote an opinion piece that question the 6900 project he praised the quality of the research but said its not the job of reporters to reframe history journalists are most often in the business of writing the 1st rough draft of history not trying to have the last word in it we have best when we try to tell truths with the lower keys t. Following evidence in directions unseen not the capital t. Truth of a preestablished narrative in which inconvenient facts get discarded as fresh concerns make clear on these points and for all of its virtues buzz spin offs and a Pulitzer Prize the 161000 project has failed we spoke to legal and media analyst lidl about infighting at the New York Times he thinks it demonstrates left wing intolerance of dissenting views. Well that amazes me that somebody who represents or at the new organization of journalists would basically have a problem with somebody expressing an idea or performing journalism it just goes to show you that this comes down to one very simple fact there are some things that are allowed to be said within lets say the alter left journalist platforms and things that you cant say if you say anything that challenges you to the New York Times or particular ideologies espoused by the time or even that you dare Say Something that goes against the grain youre cut down immediately let me make even more simple there is no journalism anymore. Of russian photographer has won a Coveted International award with a once in a lifetime image of an endangered Siberian Tiger so here goes coursework is titled the embrace of the tiger ascent marking an ancient fir tree in russias far east took a level months of trial and error to finally capture the close up of the big canteen using motion sensors the British Natural History Museum chose this place out of 49000. 00 entries with gorshkov claiming the wildlife photographer of the year award.
