Who was born in moscow been living in france a refugee who was shot dead by police not far from the crime scene weve got live reaction on not story coming up. Around the clock across the world this is your r. T. International from the team and myself you know neal hello and welcome to this news hour we begin with some breaking news on the program armenia and azerbaijan have agreed to a humanitarian cease fire starting midnight local time which is in an hours time from now its been a week since the previous cease fire deal was agreed. Truce there was proven to be rather shaky what powerful explosions rocking the capital of the spirit of new. Or a car or bike region earlier on saturday numerous incidents throughout the week as well air raid sirens were heard throughout the night as accordance with these pictures rockets alter believed to struck the area surrounding this city this is one of the nearby villages where injuries are reported. Well the current conflict stretches back more than 3 decades although the region is legally part of azerbaijan its populated mainly by Ethnic Armenians in an interview to Russian Media the leaders of both countries are blind their positions but i would not stop. There is a red line for us and this is the right to selfdetermination of the people of mcgovern occur and that all times there are many of us ready for such a compromise but is there a bridge on refused to sign agreements because of the river john did not want and does not want to accept that right. Under no circumstances can the territorial integrity of azerbaijan be violated under no circumstances will as was john consent to the independence of Nagorno Karabakh we believe that in the future the armenian and the azerbaijani communities should live peacefully and coexist on the territory of karabakh well indeed fighting has flared up recently in a number of regions in the area with the 2 sides accusing each other of launching attacks being in the region for some time he reports on how life has been affected for those living in the complex. This place could very easily be mistaken for the front line of Nagorno Karabakh but it isnt its a small sleepy village of. Also commonly known as red bazaar and last night it was battered by a very fire standing in one of the craters left by the bombardment its about 8 meters in diameter the. Most about 7 oclock i wanted to park the car in the yard cluster bombs had been dropped there. The cast iron explodes and splinters everywhere with a radius up to a few 100 metres today for example my house wasnt damaged but our neighbors windows were smashed someones roof was broken we already used to it. Like all villages of nagornokarabakh red bazaar resembles a ghost town its not the 1st time that its been bombed in this escalation theres also a monotonous rhythm made by the sounds of artillery fire coming from over the horizon but those who have chosen to stay are saying that they have gotten used to this new and gruesome soundtrack to their lives he says the kind of life can that be during war everyone hides in basements even if a bomb drops a kilometer away all the houses shake we know that its close to us of course its scary especially when the bombs drop nearby but im not going to leave anyway there is no way of saying for sure who is in control of this heavily contested region which is considered to be the gateway into nagornokarabakh thing is its one of the biggest problems about covering this conflict the lack of opportunities to independently verify the claims of both sides but one fact is certain the fighting there is absolutely brutal despite the ceasefire that was announced a whole week ago but as of now theres no mechanism of enforcing the truce on the ground and as long until this mechanism is implemented the fighting wont seize by itself i mean its done of reporting from the going to karabakh r. T.

This has been consecutive from attack only diprivan to play and live so for 11 residents many dozens were injured as a vision of government officials together with members of the diplomatic corps today was it at the scene as well they held their prison briefing according to their vision a few shows armenia continues to covert war crimes even on the declared mosco cease fire. Moving the Program French prosecutors say the man who dick capitated a schoolteacher in a prison in serbia on friday was an 18 year old of origin who was born in moscow his family moved to france 12 years ago seeking political asylum in russia such cases citizenship is usually with drawn meaning the country is no link to the incident the violent attack has been prompted by rather pointedly with the teacher showing his class controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad earlier this month. The. Path to. The was. A to assess unique one of our compatriots was murdered because he taught freedom of expression the freedom to believe or not believe as you are compactor it was the victim of an islamist terror attack the national antiterrorism prosecuting in france has been putting details about what exactly happened in the days leading up to that brutal to capitation almost 47 year old history teacher whos been named as the samuel patsy now the assailant was shot dead after decapitation t. J. This is the concern person of russian nationality and of chechen origin benefited from a Refugee Status and lived in year ever in the year he was unknown to the Intelligence Services on a judicial level hes never been convicted but was known for cases of damaging public property and Gang Violence while still a minor el is leading up to that atrocity he went to the school in the last people to point out some real patsy was so it does appear that he didnt know the victim himself beforehand we also heard from national antiterrorism prosecutor about the tweet that was released by the attacker jest of that decapitation the tweet said i executed one of your hellhounds and they took that into a lot of my hand it thats a direct quote i phoned the Anti Terrorism prosecutor now he also outlined the teacher. As of the individuals whove been arrested in connection with this terror attack they aim to parents and grandparents and the younger brother all the 18 year old assailant and also a parent older student 2 had apparently place to put you on facebook in the last few weeks calling for the teach it to be dismissed as a result of showing those care features of the prophet mohammed the muslim prophet to. Castrate him and we end this stand that in the days leading up to this decapitation there will many threats that were being made against at the 47 year old teacher weve been speaking to some of the parents all children who are also in senegal pattis cost to them of you. He asked Muslim Children to raise their hand and leave the classroom he did it my son told me he didnt do it to discriminate or to hurt he did it to preserve the children to not chilled them he explained id prefer if you left because im going to show a cartoon of the prophet of islam i dont want to shock you like it will do and i think you see where its an attack here normally nothing ever happens here and now a teacher has been decapitated our children on safe we dont know what to do you know the rector of the great great mosque here in paris has said that he was horrified by whats happened and he said that condemnation just isnt enough anymore that action needed to be taken and also it was culmination from the a model of the great mosque in. Whatever the thought the believe even the insult the caricature of the other nothing justifies the fact of killing the so it is the mortal capital soon to kill a person like that to cut his throat like that all because it showed caricaturists of the prophet they have to know been to terror attacks hate in france in the last 3 weeks and both of those attacks related to the images of the slim profit and it. This france is trying to do you the issue of separatism hair the present maclin am blind horse he wants to do the draft rudy to be presented before the end of 2020 he said that france would fight back against any form of separatism and that end any deviation away from frances secular values wouldnt be tolerated he talked about liberating from some foreign influences we know that dr drew is going to see closest scrutiny or schools and associations that serve religious communities and that arabic will now be true in mainstream schools rather than in mosques that laws are sent to you by the end of the year but it comes as polls have been giving us and including all walked many muslims feel one poll recently showed that almost sweet crude says that those who responded who are under the age of 25. 00 said that they would put their religion above that of the republic this attack has unleashed a huge fear now particularly amongst teaches you may have to give similar classes to that of several patty when theyre talking about freedom of speech they wonder now if they too are in the firing line through doing that and this is even raised more questions about whats being done at the moment with that is actually enough to prevent this sort of radicalization that leads to such extreme brutality. People have been laying flowers with a deadly attack on folded local c. B. S. And shows how freedom of expression is on earth read influence. On me not that is a mix of anger and sadness at the same time because its just a teacher who got killed for doing his job this touches me it shocks me. Its really just its a pity that the attacker was killed because he should have been judged for his actions and its a pity that we can no longer teach as we wish and enjoy freedom of speech every time theres this kind of reprisal its related to religion and thats a problem in a secular country. For human human madness thats where we are today in france its unfortunate just a lesson just a caricature frankly its hard to imagine that someone could do it just for that a drawing a simple drawing if we can no longer say what we want it is if our democracy has been crushed by religion by politics. Lets get reaction now and speak to french publisher un journalist emerick morville emerick always good to have you on the program we know you know the dead suspect was a refugee how how does that affect their impact the case. Rome oh of course somewhere alert inevitably engaging in a phobia when the questions of whether they are french or frame is this pointless but indeed if there is something to underline it is that france and its american ally did not hesitate out of russia phobia because he was out of russia phobia or in the passive it a phobia to support is amateur islamist terrorism in afghanistan then in chechnya and then again recently in syria and some of us in france where there were a few to to to say that this socalled the Freedom Fighters that our diplomacy supporters in syria thorins an example where the same ones who murdered our children in our very streets. I think it would be it would be time to realize this does that the gruesomeness of what occurred yesterday will will that shine enough of a light perhaps on the french governments refugee policies to have a sizeable impact. Well as i tell you this will be taken in the general sense not in the sense of i think which is crucial and. An unbiased analysis not i says of this do you respond of food beer which has recently made us welcome a real fascists whether crane in russian or islamised as long as they oppose the policy of the currency the russian governments. The details of this are still emerging but the picture seems to be the teacher out asked he was a history teacher he had asked any Muslim Students in his class to leave the room before showing cartoons of the prophet mohammed at one people believed to be of muslim extraction a muslim who remain for whatever reason told his or her parents there was problems without some video or text went viral the teacher had clearly taken precautions but. Involving children in a debate like this even a by freedom of expression was it was a too much of a risk. I think that. From what the investigation is beginning to to show there are undoubtedly rufe occasions the mark of eyes is what remained of it a real policy of terror and not isolated acts or or some kind of reaction. Of this kind of this is more critical in any case that of a. Of an involvement of the remaining rim remnants of about isis. I think we must point out that the mysteries and was born during the cold war to counter the rest of us are just very very very similar to the complacency of the city western democracies for for fascism in the interwar period the west has has created a frankenstein and is trying to pass this off as a specificity of the arab muslim world so as not to see its own responsibilities. One of the disturbing details on this the. The dead suspect was aged just 18 of the same age as the man who went on a knife attack outside the old Charlie Hebdo just a number of weeks ago yes yes its true. But i think it was not a loner you know he has. Not only parents but the compass is. But we must show the rest of the investigation but the age which will give pause for thought for a lot of people that teenagers could do Something Like this and repeatedly. Its a proof or an involvement i think of. Pressure for from outside i think because if you cannot he he was living it has been living in france for 4 long time its not serve you cannot react like that out of the blue out of a sudden america was good to have you in the show as i said thank you very much emerick mom feel french publisher and journalist thank you. With coded surging again a 1000000 out of work in crime on the new york by the local government thats quickly becoming public enemy number one more not after the break. When you look you know its its been 153 years since emancipation when you look at its been 400 years right since black people have been in the u. S. To extract in their labor for the construction of the country and then you think that black people on about 2 percent of us wealth and a disproportionately high is kind of worried almost everything thats negative i just dont see that that i dont see how anybody anywhere it could find that as as a we. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. Spearing Dramatic Development only mostly and. I dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Murder torture and rape all crimes that undercover agents in the u. K. Would not be prosecuted for under a new bill thats passed the house of commons it still needs approval from the Upper Chamber though an amendment which was intended to limit the list of crimes was rejected. The amendments would give the Intelligence Services the protections they need but stop short of giving them the card blanche authorization to carry out the his crimes in the name of the state that have happened too often in the past the bill in question was introduced last month and seeks to permit certain criminal acts by authorities in the u. K. If they are done in order to stop undercover identities from being made public the police Intelligence Services are armed forces will all be covered or but the government insists it doesnt grant a license to kill but it will commentator Anthony Weber for years without any amendments british citizens will be at risk. For the happens if this. Actual i am students who is Government Social services the question. What will the jury do so its not certainty how to save the house will suit my positions amendments so the they were recesses d. Actually. Because this is. A very well you. Grab your. Power. Weve got no accounts of parents. Whose very old school governments use the router as you to. See. If there is a grease but would be very not. Its. Grown a virus cases are surging again in the us friday saw 70 thought as a new infections recorded that is the highest figure since july throughout the pandemic and your counts remained in the top 5 states when it comes to covert tallies and president grant has laid the blame squarely at the feet of the governor cuomo. New york has been the worst of the whole country 40000 deaths new york has done very badly hes done a big job really good job cuomo new yorks governor however it claims a lot of progress has been made down the situation is stabilized just like the trumpet ministration many blame the local authorities for the chaos of the past few months killam open is across the story for us. They call it the big apple the city of dreams the capital of capitalism but 7 months into the pandemic new york city is not doing too well and local government is catching the blame its incredible how little we have learned in 7 months well they better start learning pretty fast at this point weve seen gun violence on the rise rapidly the f. B. I. And the u. S. Attorney are looking to intervene my perception is is that this the city in certain other pockets has become an environment which is too permissive for armed criminal offenders to walk the streets at the peril of the public in addition to that weve got the new York City Police department they are bracing for a massive underestimate following the president ial election this november 3rd will be one of the most highly contested president ial elections in the modern era we should anticipate and prepare for protests growing in size frequency and intensity leading up to the election and likely into the year 2021 broadway is staying shut down until summer of 2021 lots of lost jobs and lots of lost profits furthermore the Historic Roosevelt hotel has been forced to close there are no tourists to book their room now other hotels have been used to house Homeless People and keep them off the streets during the pandemic a Public Health measure however residents of those neighborhoods are not thrilled about their new neighbors and they are suing the city the city has reacted recklessly and to radically by repeatedly uprooting these individuals based on political pressure hospitalizations for covert 19 are now starting to rise once again local officials have a lot of problems on their hands and for every problem they solve 10 more seem to pop up a look mop and r. T. New york. Israel pushed forward this week with plans for thousands of settlement homes in the west bank the arab league a slum the move that comes less than a month after israel bahrain and the u. A. E. Agreed to normalize relations. The netanyahu governments insistence on moving forward with settlement activity to satisfy the extreme right wing reflects its rejection of this solution and even its commitment to destroy the chances of achieving it in the future the expansion plans are the biggest since 2012 according to the israeli n. G. O. S peace now israel claims it has historical and biblical times to the west bank where round half a 1000000 Israeli Settlers live alongside nearly 3000000 palestinians earlier this year is really green to freeze the formal sation of the west bank under the Us Middle East plan spearheaded by president of the palestinians claim green alliances really settlement activities. Meanwhile un human rights observers are still being denied access to israel on the palestinian territories in february and its really authorities announced the country was suspending ties with the uns Human Rights Watchdog accusing it of continuous bias this is what the organization said in response the absence of International Stop from the occupied territories a highly irregular situation will negatively impact the now billeted to carry out a mandate we continue to hope that the situation will be resolved soon and were actively engaged with various relevant and concerned parties do that. Or we spoke with the director of Human Rights Watch in the region omar secure who israel deported last year on charges of supporting a boycott of the jewish state. This is clearly being done as an effort to muzzle documentation and advocacy around israel systematic repression of palestinians and i should say its not a one off issue i was deported myself after being more than 2 and a half years based on the ground as Human Rights Watch is israel palestine director based on our work on the ground as well and its part of a long standing trend and its part of a sustained assault on the Human Rights Movement while the u. S. Has historically always you know shielded israel from accountability and turned a blind eye to. This u. S. Administration has taken it a step further and even giving the green light for these abuses to continue sort of should come to no surprise that we see settlement activities at unprecedented levels historically and continued efforts to entrench this discriminatory reality. More than 2 months since the disputed president ial election the streets of belarus continue to throng with weakened protests and people would be arrested during the latest demonstration against what they claim is a great place for these things become something of a tradition each weekend with hundreds of women and students will close the walk. On program are a skeptic some behind force in london want to arrest was made as hundreds the center the only capital for a rally it comes just days after fresh restrictions were annoyance for the city as part of the governments new locally targeted response to increasing infection.
