President ial debate before the u. S. Election descended into name calling. From the 2nd round. On environmental groups. Launched into toxic chemicals the life. Bringing your recount of the stories from the past 7 days on right up to the minute developments well this is the weekly an R T International hello and welcome. We begin with the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan which has entered a 2nd week the disputed region of the core a cutback is being relentlessly shelled these are some of the latest pictures weve received from the local capital showing burning cars residential buildings have also been hits across the city the number of casualties so far on clear earlier in the week a hospital was hit in a narrow strike several residential buildings roles about the damaged hostilities are now expanding beyond the disputed territory with several towns in azerbaijan bombed the city of ganja came under fire earlier on sunday observer john claims one person was killed and 32 wounded on friday the town of tara was also attacked by coup claims thousands of shells were used in that raid since the start of the conflict on show by germans aged 24 civilians being killed and over 100 people injured parties moroccos the it has the story behind those figures. Well were seeing unfortunately events down a path that was feared by many but few thought that we would get here many people thought that things would deescalate especially with such tremendous International Diplomatic pressure on both sides calling them to deescalate put that hasnt happened we have seen now for several days unprecedented terrifying bombardment of step on like at the biggest settlement the biggest doubt in the war zone and during that bombardment at some point authorities came out looking at forgeries and said look if is it about john doesnt stop targeting us with with shells multiple rocket launchers with an ash strikes we will respond in an equally powerful manner and apparently now they have responded by striking at the city of ganja they have confirmed this the city of ganja the 2nd biggest city in a city by john they have confirmed this the head of the gordon said that he gave the order to strike and he also gave the order to stop these missile strikes this was a warning a message to the senate by johnnies he said were warning you to stop to deescalate to come to your senses and to stop before things get out of control before we reach a point from which there is no going back as it about john itself says that what was targeted in the city of ganja wasnt a military airfield is the Golden Corral box said but Populated Areas civilian areas turkey has come out very strongly against this kind of bug strike on ganja theyre blaming this on armenians and saying that this was essentially a crowd which is peace and defeat and theres a budge on it to reduce the design couponing start getting civilian residential areas in the 2nd largest city of his or by john donne john why do done so many of violates 0 principles of human its a rule including the Geneva Convention armenia itself has. Come out though and said that it wasnt the god knickerbocker meaning of that expanded the war zone the Geographic Area along which combat was happening but it was i see it about drug and turkey which targeted which targeted military and civilian targets inside armenia and itself not inside the golden it got a box it was easy to budge on the previously expanded the combat zone by shelling the tutorial. More than that armenia says that it will respond in a powerful magnet to any provocation from any side so if anything is targeted in armenia proper it will respond i said about john also escalating into this every response to an escalation seems to be another escalation as ever john coming out and saying that it will now target any military installations or targets inside armenia profit if it believes that that military target fired upon Populated Areas inside is it about judge all in all the seas a very significant escalation because obviously armenia itself has a defense pact with russia so if i mean it is attacked it will have cause to trigger its defensive pact with russia and cool for help from abroad turkey letting it be known that if i said about john is struck they had said to themselves before any attack by armenia and azerbaijan would be construed as an attack on turkey itself so it would be standing by it will certainly ceased whether with military force or with support it will assist as it a budget so indeed events are developing along a very worrying trajectory. Iraq gets the of reporting while the conflict reignited last sunday but it has roots stretching back 3 decades the enclave broke away from azerbaijan in 1908 but the area has not been widely recognized as a sovereign state. On one day regime please have only one condition that armenia leaves our lands completely and immediately this is if the armenian government complies with this the fighting will stop there will be no bloodshed there will be peace peace will come to our region. Why believe the Armenian Army can secure country and the selfdefense forces of the Golden Corral are successfully protecting their region from a political standpoint i believe its very important for us that International Partners know how and who started this military action. Another of our correspondents has been in the conflict zone throughout the week with his report on fridays shelling of the car about capital equal as adult life. It has come under probably the heaviest shelling since we arrived here 2 massive explosions in the very center of the city usually what we could hear was we could see the smoke from the explosions which were on the outskirts in the suburbs this is the very city center and moreover this is the building of the ministry of emergencies so it has been obliterated i mean look look at this everything is gone windows are gone the whole wall theres a hole in the whole wall and its not just this building theres a whole complex its a large its a large complex and its everywhere like this obliterated not raise to the ground but its gone i dont see any way how it can be fixed all renovated we dont know what we dont know what exactly caused the explosion but we didnt hear any sirens and sirens so probably wasnt a drone but some really heavy artillery and with a very long range as well but we have to go they are telling us its not safe because sometimes as the azerbaijanis are using these socalled double tap so that they not only they destroy the building but also the kill soldiers who arrived here weve arrived here with the soldiers as well so we have to go this is the crater that was made by one of the rockets and this is a piece from a the military here is telling me that this is a 250 caliber 250 millimeter caliber so it is a massive rocket they dont know exactly what it is theyre telling me these these are not laws but that this one is also israeli made. Lets show you whats been happening in the armenian capital really an outpouring of support for those trapped in the car conflict zone people collecting donations of food clothes other supplies to send to the region karabakh is inhabited almost entirely by armenians and many have been left homeless by the ongoing military bombardment we talked to some of these volunteers in europe on. This is abuse the bill and Initiative People are donating supplies nonstop here everything is sorted and sent to the warehouse every person in armenia wants to be involved and help in whatever way they can. But those people just the spirit of people can be broken were all united because personal grievances against the government or anyone else behind them. Journalists in the corner of karabakh are getting caught in the crossfire 2 or were injured in a shell strike on the way this thing to 2 french reporters they were left to figure of on for treatment back in france on thursday a cameraman from an armenian t. V. Channel was severely injured during shelling these are pictures of his car earlier i talked to eldar. Journalist from an observation on the t. V. Channel he described the damage on the years eerie sight of the border. We have seen. Destroyed houses destroyed ambulances destroyed infrastructure is there people from the civil population people that have nothing to do with their actions and refused to leave their house and refused to leave their region armenians are accusing her breakdown of targeting civilians we know civilians have lost their lives in this conflict is that what is happening talking about i mean yeah. Thats a complete nonsense the military command. That i was there but janet army does not target civilian people as well as really interesting infrastructure that targets army are firing positions. We want to impress structures in the occupied territories either by john 5 doesnt fight against civilians other by john is fighting for liberation its all territories. Is in hospital for a 3rd day. Day after Contracting Co but 19 aside from Health Concerns the u. S. President s condition has put alexion plans into disarray including the 2nd round debate with rival joe biden this weeks 1st class was a chaotic of her marred by interruptions and insults donal quarter discussed what went. Listen respectfully to each others opinions im not here to call out his lies Everybody Knows hes a liar dont ever use the word smart with me that ever use that word give me because you know what theres nothing smart about you joe what are you sure i dont miss an excuse the one who saw your number to know hes putins puppy i get my time back fewer interruptions im appealing to you sir to do that and him too well frankly youve been doing more interrupting that event but he does plenty well less than. A minute but why do you do it over again in the last 25 years not because im going to do it because you are my president things up youre a senator and the worst were as high as americas ever had. To get any word with this clown directly then you know now that were done were done sir the American People had big hopes for this debate after all its happening on the backdrop of a Global Pandemic and a serious economic crisis but based on how both biden and trump conducted themselves i would say most people probably thought they were watching some sort of circus. You should get out of your bunker and get out of the sand trap and get in your golf course and fund what needs to be done now to save lives and he wants to shut down this country and i want to keep it open. I had it close to greatest economy of the history of our country we handed him a booming economy he blew it was it a loon. He races you say the crime bill 1904 where you call the super predators africanamericans the super predators while during the debate the moderator was able to get in a lot of questions that the American People really want answers to how the next administration is going to handle Coronavirus ReliefRacism Police brutality the social unrest but the most important thing of all is how biden or trump actually respond to these questions and voters didnt seem to think that they did a very good job honestly as. Very painful response and i dont think either of them one this is just terrible all around this is very upsetting to watch that this is the best representation for our country right now i dont think i can say that even if you were one i think that it was a twister was a wild ride to write it when left there was a lot going on theres a lot of interruption it was crazy. To me that i dont think either one of them respected none of the others. And the economy seems to agree with those voters as well because right after the close of this chaotic debate we saw u. S. Stock futures take a plunge and while both political camps have already started making political memes as if there are their guy won the debate every day voters are really kind of taking a sort of id rather laugh than cry approach. And. We asked former republican state senator john on International Affairs experts a fear the clinton for their thoughts on the 1st debate. Theres little doubt that trump who lost his composure was repeatedly interrupting and. Seemed overly emotional and somewhat hysterical i was disappointed to see it in his side to sort of stoop to that kind of behavior he tends to be very dismissive and goalie and in fact you name call its certainly not president ial its now. Not the kind of behavior that you really want to see any candidate im not sure anybody watching had their minds changed except that i do i do see that i think bidens going to have some cleanup to do with the left flank its inappropriate he just dismissed the president as a liar i hate to see the count and how many times he said the president just lies without backing up and being specific about what was dishonest but american politics can be pretty contentious and i think American People sadly are kind of used to it. Still ahead on the program surfers and beachgoers and rushes for each report hundreds of dead seed creatures watch the shore we can fears of an environmental disaster well delve into the months after the break. Everybodys reaching for that you have. And i mean its a rush and i think the resolution of this is theres going to be a nasty war thats going to go on for maybe months as john in an already rejected. Must goes off to mediate because the fighting is too early on that people are now battling to see what territory they can get and i think when the fighting settles down and the lines are drawn and people realize that theyre not going to move forward or backwards then theyre going to to the other. The also be addressing conflict known as not going to look at iraq is now very hot you tell you what you need to know and it is america in 2020 acting out similar events. Bolshevik revolution in 1007. 100. In festa getting a spike in sea pollution in the countrys far east the problem was the tech did off the coast of. The editor in chief of the russia beyond online magazine visited the area and spoke to us. Im currently at the post im just skeptical of not just the reach of terrorism and the logical disasters have yet to see beach be just the one person away from the sea i spent 4 hours on the collectivists the beach and i didnt see any water or feel collar and i didnt smell any pleasant but at the same time some of my friends were closer to the area off keep my meat and they come through that they felt some unpleasant odor and it had still be left weekly ive seen some death fish on the floor and some dead shellfish but not in the amounts like youve probably seen on some user of the dios i like they were a little bit scattered around the beach their real life selected at that stage there but not like files that sea lion stuff like that idea see any big sea and ive talked to some sort of 1st bull locals and visitors and they confirmed that its soft and wasnt good water and it hurt their eyes and some of them even had like chemical burns of their eyes and they had to consult a doctor and it started 3 weeks ago still death not this often happens here but we dont know when it started we dont know the scale of the disaster and we dont know what has caused the local authorities confirmed that the samples that the 2 back on september 29. Exceeded the norms for females 2 times and norms for products 4 times in the water so soft and definitely happened kamchatka is governor is overseeing the probe on samples are being sent to moscow for analysis hes warned that any officials who neglected the issue will face consequences. Currently analyzing what possible harm the incident may have caused my main aim right now is to ensure that whats happened isnt touched up i dont. On officials to try and downplay its significance a thorough and objective analysis will be provided by the relevant organizations we will collect additional samples of water sea floor sediment and sand and of dead animals i can tell you right away that if it turns out local officials downplayed this incident or tried to hide it they will be immediately fired and if any federal officials are guilty of the same i will demand similar punitive measures. There is no sign of let up in the postelection on wrist sweeping belarus crowds gathered in minsk throughout sunday 8 weeks after president was reelected in a disputed ballots at least 40 people were arrested one point riot police used a water coming truck to target the demonstrators who fought damaging the vehicle there was a heavy security presence throughout the capital and 8 subway stations were shut down for several hours the march went ahead with thought official permission it follows almost 2 months of public calls for president lukashenko to resign earlier this month the European Union passed sanctions on 14 beller russian officials over claims of election rigging violence against protesters minsk responded by block listing european officials. The f. B. I. Has released a short film demonstrating the dangers of chinese intelligence recruitment however the propaganda style video reminded many of the methods used by the us and the u. S. S. R. During the cold war kill up and takes up the story. Its the latest hollywood thriller complete with a catchy soundtrack and a script that keeps you on edge however its meant to be informative its not a feature film this half hour movie was created by the f b i warn you about chinese intelligence and its efforts to recruit this is someone targeted on raven who may have sent classified information to chinese intelligence. Like many blockbusters its based on a true story a former cia officer was sentenced to 20 years in prison for passing along information to the chinese now the f. B. I. Says that this video is meant to educate the public and alert them about the threat of foreign intelligence recruitment as this movie highlights Foreign Intelligence Services are posing as head hunters and consultants and professional networking sites to aggressively target americans we believe its critically important to educate the public in order to need to allies this threat from Foreign Intelligence Services well weve seen all those old newsreels talking about the red menace it looks like the propagandists are still in business years later kind of. Go by im going to go on and play russia had occupied many New Territories bringing additional millions of people under communist control. For example but really make them. Average american really road worker makes 10. 00 a day. Times more the whos to say the chinese cant strike back theyve got hollywood scenes of their own the. Liberal. That was in front. Of them out on the campuses on the line to do a little truth with them was not. Just listen to yourself either the usa nor china has actually declared a new cold war but everyone is buzzing about it and the issue of our cold war as the foreign minister of the suggested its not just our writings saying that is this a new cold war weve heard for example u. K. Officials are china in the United States headed for a new cold war or is it going to be a hot war the u. N. Is even getting in on the hysteria or should we call it in a stealth you must do every scene for the new. We are moving in a very dangerous line action own words cannot afford the future lead to too much as the Economy Speed the globe in a great fraction each we need some freedoms financial rules and the internet and not officially intelligence capacities yes many of us heard stories from our parents about hiding under their desks in school during Civil Defense drills the cold war has a special place in American History and now with dueling propaganda films and talk of a red menace from china it seems that the cold war is back the good old days well perhaps weve forgotten how potentially dangerous it is. R. T. New york well just to back up that last point we spoke to politics Professor JosephGregory Mahoney who says a u. S. China cold war is already a promise if we if we follow reports of majority opinions among Business Leaders and policy makers that there will be likely a war between china and us within the next 10 years so i think that again this is part of the. Negative messaging that we see with trump but there is also some credibility that it is an issue that the u. S. Wants to check ahead of future conflict we already see many people agree a cold war and tech a cold war growing in frictions between us and china and other countries and International Organizations as the u. S. Turns against multilateralism some people a lot of people in the d. C. Area believe that were already in a hot cyber war and thats where we leave the weekly wrap up for now but the updates will continue through the moscow not into keeping you in the know around the clock this is our to international. Always be polite never engage with a negative aided or confrontational also. Dont get into any conversation or start answering questions just ask for an attorney. To survive and tear a geisha. Definitely dont want to. Jump on cops. Youre more likely to walk free if youre rich and guilty or if youre poor and. Youve got 2 eyes and 2 ears and one now. So you should be seen in here and a whole lot more than youre saying if you dont take that advice easy going to dig yourself will. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to the world of politics. Im showbusiness ill see that. Part of it its been almost 3. Of the soviet union and the aftershocks of that earthquake.

N. A. In telling us that its good to talk to you thank you very much for your time as a thanks for inviting me now this interview has an interesting backstory to it because i am i believe your word grace approached by my colleagues from the r. T. E. Im used to vision or sort of if i understood correctly trying to place your views fit in that framing of the story in that case it was the promise in dollars and then when they found out it wasnt a perfect feed they didnt call back and i remain you accurately thats my understanding is i was. And they want to just so. And then russia and the line and youve run a couple of features commentary pieces on the same line saying that shes and.
