After the mh 17 plane tragedy russia steps away from liability talks with. Neither wants to establish exactly. Also ahead. 2 strikes everything in. The altar the benches and one of the domes have been completely destroyed we see 1st drop from a decades old conflict between armenia and azerbaijan 1st back into life. On the spot of a ceasefire being almost a week ago shells still. Controlled territory is fighting. Around the clock across the world this is r. T. International from the team and myself you know neal hello and welcome to the program. With europe in the grip of a rapid rise in covert cases Health Workers in from saying the country has not learned any lessons from the initial wave they are protesting a lack of hospital resources still needed to effectively fight the pandemic it comes just after president address the nation announcing new and many curfews in a number of cities in the hope of stopping the spread. Is in paris this is what she filed with the protesters who 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 19 pandemic but then having to catch a bowler 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 are few years saying that there are not enough staff in the hospitals and they dont being paid enough so the government did pay for Health Workers by around 90. 00 euros a month from september but the help 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 now own wings the night president. The Health Workers aust facing a dire situation this is what he had to say. 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 gluing into hospitals president mccord i know that there would be a coup in the worst hit areas of france that is no new regions across the country including here in paris the curfew is going to come into force on saturday and it will be activated from 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 know that 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 a hat it is the responsibility of all ministers and president. Well this comes home 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 900 demick correctly or not there are allegations that theyre facing that they didnt do their job they didnt protect people in france by 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 has quit talks with a stream. Over the dawning of Malaysia Airlines flight m. H. 17 the tragedy which claimed almost 300. 00 lives many of them children took place over Eastern Ukraine in july 24th during a murder trial is currently under way involving 3 russians and a ukrainian accused of involvement. Klein more details to some are here in the studio earlier. 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 mosco 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 and the dutch move is 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 took the 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 with the Netherlands Services involved in the investigation 6 years has passed what do we know about the tragedy well i remember that day july 17th 20143 months after kiva launched what it called a massive counterterror 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 to bob. And 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. Forces were very quick to accuse. The position. And according to the joint Investigation Team the plane was brought down by book surface to air. From the rebel controlled territory but interesting is that no satellite supported. Version that russia. Did not accept russia and russias materials he has a russian president Vladimir Putin talking about it whatever the present. We have. Presented its but no one wants to listen to us unless there is. We will not find the right response to the questions that still remain on. The tragedy of. The deaths of people we mourn. And we believe. 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 Airlines and malaysia is supporting. The whole investigation and the investigation is politicized from the. We see too much politics in it the idea was not to find how this happened with all that but you seem to be concerned that it needs to be in the rush or had it been a neutral by the examinee and making conclusions we. Accept but here we have these who have some political interest in the matter what is important now is that yes russia is out of 3 way consultations at mosco says it is open and ready to cooperate with a lot of that services and other countries services anybody involved in the investigation anybody interested in finding the truth or we got reaction to russias decision to quit the liability talks with a number of guests including 1st political analyst chris bambery. Most 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. The new conclusive evidence and therefore russia is seeing that despite all the information and data. Over by the russian it doesnt make any just a difference to the fact that that date has been basically made by the dutch this is that russia is that way and thats the source of the frustration which is led to the break 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 it was far too early we can see clearly that there is a one sided 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 of that which independently takes into the cold every evidence which is brought on the table. Moving on despite agreeing a cease fire last week armenia and azerbaijan continue to trade blows in a decades or territorial dispute that suddenly flared back into life this autumn done off travel to a cathedral in a corner car a back that bears the scars of the conflict. 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 as Area Military was battering the town of shushi at that time so i learned and her family decided to hide from the bombs in the cathedrals crypt one place they thought that was safe from the shelling but they were wrong that does not add now 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 eating 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 hof destroying rules of the Church People pray for peace to return to this land sooner rather than later it was done of reporting from the going to artsy. Well just on those images also by johns president has said an investigation is needed and the Historic Church in car back was hit he claimed if it was done by his forces it was on intentional armine is also accused of shelling a hospital this week. Who denies when the hostilities 1st erupted International Medical staff offered their help we heard from some of those medics right now in the context. Of the new prostitution its no easy decision for any doctor to leave behind a content life and go to war with us 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 over been a bit as good as at 1st sight these are minor injuries small scratches in fact the x. Rays show a splintered bones in 2 or nassau us 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. 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 and adequate response is needed here to ensure a way to end all of this. Walls are monstrous all wars are appalling its horrifying Health Damage the bodies of soldiers are 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 seems that were used to pain. Of the current conflict how simmered for 3 decades of a contested region is mostly inhabited by Ethnic Armenians but is legally part of azerbaijan the is here a government reported again on thursday morning at the territory had come under fire. The sound of a shell hitting the same time after turner according to the as he read government the time came under bombardment this week both nations than live violating the cease fire the fighting has forced many to flee to safety although some have the standard to take their chances and remain. Calm theyve been countless attacks they shelled us soldiers here luckily they survived everything we see here and watched the shooting 1st coming from the armenian side and then from these areas and then it fell on the roofs of our houses there is new fear our soldiers are fighting over there why should we be scared here we should not be. Bigger death tolls on chronic unemployment than 12 the u. K. s opposition says well coming from the Prime Ministers escalating coronavirus measures more than one. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. Very dramatic developments only. I dont see how. Very critical. Talk. Ok and britain has joined the e. U. In imposing sanctions against 6 russian individuals on one entity over what they say is the nerve agent poisoning of printing critical me moscow has repeatedly denied it had anything to do with the incident and has had to respond to the measures. Because michigan year sidesteps wont be left without a suitable response we would like to remind you that it was believed in which is openly shared in its internationalist possibilities to assist russia in investigating the incident which happened to russian citizens and what used story to deliver accusations. And threats against our country once again taking the lead role in empty russian sanctions among the e. U. And other Even National bodies sonthi for the European Council has come for that it will be putting in place sanctions against russia for the alleged poisoning of alexei novelli 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 and asset freezes they are 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 said gay 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 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 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 Navalny 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 standard of International Law if you will so youll see easier produce of than a valley case is totally unacceptable 5 e. U. Countries claim they have established the truth but when we request them to provide evidence of their conclusions 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 probes we appeal to those conventions asking germany to bide 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 siberia to moscow he was brought here to berlin where he spent 2 weeks in and then joost 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 saw out any of the results only prove you decide to sanction and this decision in fact is deciding of weakness of the european politics just how steps. Sunshine between russia and europe and we so that in Europe Institution there is some countries 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. This went to the country clocked up its highest daily number of infections so far at more than 1000. 00 and it comes as parliament is turning increasingly to the governments 100 ling of the Health CrisisKate Partridge report from london if coronavirus has taught us and the u.
