H 7. Away from. Talks with. 2 strikes. And one of the domes have been completely destroyed we see. Between armenia. And despite being almost. Broadcasting live from the russian capital every hour of the day this. My names you know neal and youre welcome to the program. With europe in the grip of a rapid rise in covert cases Health Workers and from save the country has not learned any lessons from the initial wave theyre protesting a local hospital resources still needed to effectively fight the pandemic it comes after president addressed the nation announcing new curfews in a number of cities in the hope of stopping the spread Charlotte Dubin ski reports nor from paris but the protesters here are forming what is a nationwide day of protest by Health Workers across france and they are protesting because they say they are simply exhausted exhausted by not just the 1st wave of the cave 19 pandemic but then having to catch a bolero appointments during the summer i now theyre facing this 2nd wave and they say that it is worse than ever they also say that the government has been treating them like fools they all few years saying that there are not enough stuff in the hospitals and they dont being paid enough so the government did to pay for Health Workers by around 90. 00 euros a month from september but that would you say that just isnt enough to compensate them for the sheer volume of work that they doing and also the danger they putting themselves in at the moment and they demanding a massive recruitment drive and a significant pay increase no own wednesday night president korn i could knowledge that health work is lost facing a dire situation this is what he had to say new solutions our Emergency Rooms and our hospitals are in a more worrying situation than in march because we dont have a reserve of beds which is why we have to take measures that are more strict. Now in a bid to try and ease the pressure on the hospitals and the fact that there are sometimes more than 20000 people a day testing positive for 19 with a few 100 people a day go going into hospitals present i know that they would be in the worst hit areas of france that is knowing regions across the country including here in paris is going to come into force on saturday and they will be activated for 9 pm every evening until 6 am in the morning those people who are not authorized to be outside or face fines of 135 years for a 1st offense but that could go up to 1500 euros for repeated offenders the idea that they want to try and fight the virus to keep people in at night now ive been speaking some of the Health Workers here and they are not convinced that it could you is going to help them reduce the number of people who need hospital treatment because of the pandemic we also have it is a measure that can be beneficial but who see what happens i think it is not enough. The curfews not the only problem we lack hospital bats yes code 900 something dramatic but thats not the only thing that affects the hospitals it is the destruction of Public Services and the destruction of hospitals as well the curfews not going to solve the problem. Since the start of the Coronavirus Crisis nothing was clearly done the number of hospital beds was not increased and its not the folds of a lack of training nursing staff cannot be magic out of the hat it is the responsibility of all ministers and president. Well this comes on the same day that the office is in the home of the Current Health minister and the current director of health as well as the former Prime Minister of france on the former Health Minister of france well all searched by the police this is part of an investigation the sticking place into whether. They handled the crisis at the beginning of the code 900 demick correctly or not there are allegations that theyre facing that they didnt do their job they didnt protect people in france but the fact that they didnt give out facemask in fact the advice during the 1st wave of the pandemic was only 12 facemask if you had 19 or you suspected that you had it so theyre saying that there was a problem but they are now facing charges that the police even voluntary homicide and in danger in the life if any of them all found guilty of that they could face up to choose years in jail and face a fine of 300000 euros at the protests the nationwide protests taking place across france today Health Workers once again out on the streets demanding more staff pay in the face of the pandemic. Russia quick talks with a strain. Over the dawning of Malaysia Airlines flight m h 17 the tragedy which claimed almost 300 lives many of them children took place over Eastern Ukraine in july 24th in a murder trial is currently under way involving 3 russians and one ukrainian accused of involvement reaffirmed our snarky line more details in the studio earlier to saskatoon or. It is explained in the document the last straw for russia was the government of the netherlands filing a lawsuit against russia in the European Court for human rights alleging mosca had played their role in the mh 17 passenger airplane crash back in 2014 and russia denies all the allegations accusing the now the lens of being interested in only putin all the blame on russia rather than fighting the truth here is the russias foreign minister in the dutch movies considered yet another blow to russian dutch relations and the hague courts determination contrary to common sense is to continue on the wrong path of unilateral attribution of responsibility to russia for what happened in the sky above donbass such unfriendly acts by the netherlands make it senseless for us to continue to participate in the 3 way consultations responsibility for the breakdown of the consultations those lies are entirely with the hague will receive the netherlands reaction they say they deeply regret that russia to decision but by the way in the same announcement of Russias Foreign Ministry it is explained that the only are right now out of this Consultation Team that they will continue to wait in ways the Netherlands Service is involved in the investigation 6 years has passed what do we know about the tragedy well i remember that day july 17th 20143 months off to kiev launched what it called a massive Counter Terror in Eastern Ukraine using at the asian havea tillery tanks i was there on the ground since day one and i remember how quickly turning into a very bloody deadly operation the situation on the ground was boiling it was really dramatic the real war in fact was raging when these tragedy happened above Eastern Ukraine the investigation has been going on every since and to today we did not know exactly what had happened these are the key points. So. Together and forces were very quick to accuse. The lens back the position. And according to the joint Investigation Team the plane was brought down by book surface to air fired from the rebel controlled territory but interesting is that no satellite supported. Version that russia. Did not accept russias documents and russias materials he has a russian president Vladimir Putin talking about it whatever the present it doesnt say anything we have. Presented its but no one wants to listen to us and unless there is dialogue we will not find the right response to the questions that still remain on. The tragedy of 17 related to the deaths of people we mourn these deaths and we believe that. Such incidents are unacceptable so you understand what we hear today from Russias Foreign Ministry didnt start yesterday all this. Misunderstanding has been piling for months and years long time reservations about it does anyone else in the. Questioning investigation it was Malaysia Airline and malaysia it is supported. The whole investigation and the investigation is politicized from the. We see too much politics indeed the idea was not to find how would this happen when all that but you seem to be concerned that it needs to be in the rush or headed me in a new troop by the examinee and making conclusions we. Accept but here we have but these who have some political interests in the matter what is important now is that yes russia is out of 3 way consultations says it is open and ready to cooperate with another that Services AnotherCountry Services anybody involved in the investigation and anybody interested in finding the truth. Reaction to russias decision to quit the liability talks with a number of guests including 1st political analyst. Most will feel that it judgment has already been made by the dutch and by the australians and that russia is guilty and nor their options should be considered and the new conclusive evidence and therefore russia is seeing that despite all the information and data. Over by the russians it doesnt make any difference to the fact that that verdict has been basically made by the dutch this is that russia is that way and thats the source of the frustration here which is that russia. Is very sensible to pull out it should not pull them actually the dutch need to answer the question as to why they were taking this process beyond the investigation they were running with the russians at one point and the australians there was a little triumvirate that was looking into the matter and then the dutch ran away from that investigation and decided to kick it up stairs to the European Court of human rights why was far too early we can see clearly that there is a onesided in investigation and of course its necessary if you want to find out what happened to all evidence original presented doesnt matter by which side are taken into account i would like if the International Community of the United Nation or anyone who could be independent would really find a way or an instance which independently takes into account every evidence which is brought on the table. Despite agreeing a cease fire last week armenia and azerbaijan continue to trade blows in a decade or territorial dispute that suddenly flared back into life this autumn or shutdown of travel to a cathedral in a corner a car a bike but no bears the scars of the conflict and met locals who suddenly find themselves living in a war zone. The war in the going to care about has not just about trivial territorial gains its a long lasting it with lots of bad blood between both sides and recently it has build into a new turf religious this 19th century only savior cathedral was a place where soldiers and volunteers alike used to come and pray before heading into battle that made it a target but it wasnt just soldiers who would come to this church the a Syrian Military was battering the town of shushi at that time so i learned and her family decided to hide from the bombs in the cathedral script one place they thought that was safe from the shelling but they were wrong dr snyder and there were 7 of us including 2 children when the shell hit the cathedral it was deafening there was destruction everywhere masonry fell from the searing thats all they can remember 2 strikes have literally sing everything in their path the altar the benches and one of the domes have been completely destroyed no place is sacred no place is safe in this war not only was this church hit twice but the 2nd strike injured 3 russian journalists one of them is still in intensive care after spending several days in a coma he believes the hit on them was intentional the streets of shushi bear a striking resemblance to those in other towns of Nagorno Karabakh its a place of desolation and despair those who can fight are already on the front lines those who had somewhere to run already have done but alone or doesnt have any choice but to stay another story. We have to fit in this small shelter with a kitchen and badger in the same place we are too scared to go with doors when we hear the sound of the sirens we are rushing here to hide every even in the reason we can hear the shelling people seem to be unfazed by the story state of the cathedral theres plenty of candles still burning. In the half destroyed walls of the Church People pray here for peace to return to this land sooner rather than later because done of reporting from the going to care about r t. Abrasions president has said on investigations needed in the hollow the Historic Church in the corner a car a bike was hit he claims if it was done by his forces it was on intentional. Well i mean he has also accuse the us or by john of shelling a hospital on. Denies when the hostilities 1st erupted International Medical staff offered to help we heard from some of those medics now in the complex. At the press to the show and its no easy decision for any doctor to leave behind a content life and go to war here of course its not hand to hand combat but the threat is there every 2nd i just followed my heart i went through the 1st war as a student observe military medicine i gained experience and admired the doctors who saved lives i think it was imprinted on my mind having a broad experience in emergency medicine i didnt want to sit idle i wanted to share my experience my knowledge and save any life possible goes all the good it was going to at 1st sight these are minor injuries small scratches in fact the x. Rays show was splintered bones into her nostrils all this suggests that the weaponry has changed a lot there are a few cases of gunshot wounds here basically these are injuries from explosive mines cluster rockets and so one theyre high energy explosives which leaf in comparable damage where my colleagues and i have been here since day one of the war and honestly we work 247 at the hospital i cant understand the enthusiasm of some to continue this war even if people dont die there are still those seriously injured an adequate response is needed here to ensure a way to end all of this. Was a monstrous all wars are appalling its horrifying Health Damage the bodies of soldiers of that brought in more and more young guys with horrible injuries some will die some will be disabled it is very hard from a psychological point of view its a real shock for us even though it would seem that were used to pain. Or just a little box into this the current conflict has simmered for 3 decades contested region is mostly inhabited by Ethnic Armenians but is legally part of azerbaijan the government reported again on thursday morning that the territory had come under fire. Of art is the sign of a shell hitting the bridge any time after ter affording to be a serious government the time came on. The actions and i violated 6 of our the fighting us force many to flee to safety although some of the sighted to take their chances remain. Calm theyve been countless attacks this morning they shelled our soldiers here luckily they survived everything we see here and watch the shooting 1st coming from the armenian side and then from our side it hit these areas and then it fell on the roofs of our houses there is no fear our soldiers are fighting over there why should i be scared here we should not be scared. Britain has joined the e. U. In imposing sanctions against 6 russian individuals and one entity over what they say is the nerve agent poisoning of kremlin critic Alexei Navalny moscow denies it had anything to do with the incident on has vowed to respond to the measure. Because michigan year sidesteps wont be left without a suitable response we would like to remind you that it was bullied which is openly shared in its internationalist possibilities to assist russia in investigating the incident which happened to russian citizens and what used to deliver accusations. And threats against our country once again taking the lead role in empty russian sanctions among the e. U. And other International Bodies fancy for the European Council has come for and that it will be putting in place sanctions against russia for the alleged poisoning of alexina violently we pretty much knew this was coming it was approved by the 27 Member StatesForeign Ministers on monday the council putting the rubber stamp to it on thursday what the sanctions will do is theyll target 6 senior officials and warn organization they will be taking the form of travel bans. Asset freezes theyre the type of sanctions the e. U. Committee the council can push through unilaterally following the announcement from brussels there was also an announcement from london where the United Kingdom has also said that they will be imposing similar sanctions against similar entities for what they say is the use of a chemical weapon by russia now what this is perhaps more interesting for is what the russian reaction will be earlier in the week we heard from saturday a lover of the Russian Foreign minister who suggested that there could be a suspension of diplomatic ties between moscow and brussels should the sanctions be put in place he also said that russia would be assessing how it did business in europe last time 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 those 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 response 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. Russia must continue to explain itself over the attack on alexina valmy and the use of a banned Chemical Warfare agent much more than has been the case so far and weve repeatedly emphasized that such behavior cannot remain without consequences and therefore sanctions were decided by the e. U. Unanimously and very quickly russia denies the allegations that have been made against it moscow sent for official requests to berlin for germany to share the information the evidence that germany says it has of the poisoning of alexei nevadan the russian 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 and standard of International Law he would also use the ease approach to the novotny 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 alexei in the family took ill on a flight from siberia to moscow he was brought here to berlin where he spent 2 weeks in an induced coma receiving treatment of a shot at a hospital he was discharged last week as he continues to recover here in the germ. In capital more and more questions are being raised about what exactly happened to him and who was behind what happened to him everybody is a little bit surprised that we so to any of the results only prove you decided to sanction and this decision in fact is deciding of weakness of the european what it. Is just to how the steps. Sanction between russia and europe and we so that in Europe Institution there is some countries or there is some members of European Parliament who want to have a difficult relation you want to make damn sure and between europe and russia. A new coronavirus milestone was passed in the u. K. On wednesday now for the country clocked up its highest daily number of infections so far more than 100000 it comes as parliament is turning increasingly tetchy up the governments handling of the Health Crisis reporting from london this hour partridge 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 the government decisions are bankrupting the nation the opposition are one of those policies are costing the country lives and labor leaders sickie a start up once 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 break 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 governments 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 with stricter 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 most of 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 top of the 31st 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 owed it so you know were going 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 on public transport and of course needing to keep your dog is very difficult want to make as the situation worsens within the country the government remains on the horns of the ultimate die lever. How do they save lives without bankrupting the country for Boris Johnson and everyone this is no laughing matter partridge see.

Last week sure the Democrat Campaign in america and President Trump and the no to hospital provoked a lot of interest under an awful says really enjoyed both interviews fascinating and informative looks like biden still has a mountain to claim to win but agree that kemal hotness is see this late impressive and not be says in general i enjoy your show unfortunately did not enjoy the show its surprising how you and your guests were so one sided against trump well i j in our defense be that we had a sure a a month or 2 back on the publicans with the public and commentators last week show was about the Democrat Campaign so obviously they were less favorable to President Trump than the than the republican commentators were and theres a bill says lot of coming because it was a debate about tom green in the hospital he shouldve saved money and stayed home since his symptoms were mild he is the president after all and the
