For over 30 years ago this time though 3 russian journalists got injured in the fray is one of the serious condition its one of the perils of reporting from a conflict zone of course weve got video to show you of the aftermath of that shelling its the 2nd time as we just said that church had been hit actually in a daze its been it 3 times over the years the Armenian Foreign Ministry blamed desirea forces for both attacks there pose a challenge to the civilized world however as a by john denied the accusations stressing its military doesnt target religious or cultural buildings in time the other side of this very Authorities Say 7 people were injured in recent shelling by Armenian Forces according to the country general Prosecutors Office rockets in a restaurant in the city a bar that severely damaged a secondary school there as well. And the fighting has also intensified since the conflict between azerbaijan and armenia over the enclave of nagornokarabakh broke out almost 2 weeks ago thousands have been limited to the front line civilians are ending up victims to the fiercest fighting has been reported in the south of the disputed region he goes down offers now in an Armenian Border town talk to some women who have sent their sons to war. Arsenic lives a modest life as shes inviting us in her apartment its almost like weve traveled back in time the house is 137 years old and has been home to generations of our ancestors she offers us coffee enthusiastically be good to talk about her son fighting in the back while he was conscripted when he came of age the usual service he was on the 7th of january he had been serving for 10 months he was in hundreds from the very beginning from base to chatter going backwards i didnt know that he was sent to the front line i found out by chance he hadnt called me for 4 days afterwards and when he called he said nothing about being on the frontline others told me about it. His son is fighting on the Southern Front near the town of the desert for a 1000000 forces its a life or death bastion of defense and for there by journeys a clue szell gateway to flood the region with own troops. Must make son is right there trying to stop the relentless onslaught of his enemy his mother waits patiently for an occasional call from him when they do come theyre all too brief for his own safety all he can tell is everythings fine. He calls me i dont he calls me to say that hes fine and thats it it doesnt happen often once in 23 days at the beginning he used to call me once in 4 days now more often the war hasnt changed my routine a lot but we do communicate a lot with other mothers whose kids are on the front asking each other about them we all have kids serving i can share my motions in church. Only i feel bad but i can sure it only when i light a candle in church i keep everything inside. Sending a son into the line of fire is soul destroying for any mother but in this conflict it seems there is no greater on up yes apart im proud of having the child no mother knowing there is currently a war in the car in a car god will call me rest her head on a pillow during calls and conversations he always told us that he was very far from the front line we learned that he had been allocated to serve in the garden carbon and im very proud were not scared and my child was not afraid that he was going into the army. Yes a part of them will know im single im proud to the to have a son who is a soldier now serving in one of the military units in the one car a buck i know they are stronger i know how hes doing hes in a fight in spirit and he inspires me to this strong here at home and asked me kobes the fighting will be over soon and his son will come home and return to his studies before the conflict intervened with a life hed only just graduated from high school and had started university he wants finance to be his line of work but right now hes on the frontline of war and he gets done of reporting from the border with nagornokarabakh. On the other side of the conflict there are very mothers who also fear they may not see the sons again. Both my sons completed their military service with distinction when the conflict started my oldest son was already in the front line and proud of both of them both of them volunteered my oldest is there now and the 2nd one is waiting his ready to go there any moment i talk to my oldest son but not that often hes in an excellent mood hes ready to carry out any order any word of our president i havent slept properly since september 27th as a soldiers mother and as a citizen of is there by john as i am a self am on the front line im not afraid of death every person is afraid of dying of course but not in this situation. My son just came back from the army when the conflict began after september is events when our enemies once again attacked our country she was conscripted again to exercise 1st and then to the frontline my son is there now defending his country we speak by phone when there is a possibility to do it always says to me that everything is fine she always wanted to volunteer i think she even deed but im not sure if she didnt talk about it a lot dont know if thats the reason why he was conscripted now but he got the call and went to serve why were washed among a week before the war began my son volunteered it was when the very 1st conflicts emerged he was immediately sent to the front line you always wanted our lands to come back to us that is why he volunteered we are in contact he always says that everything is fine that Everyone Wants to get back what is ours i mean mothers are mothers too i dont want their children to die nobody understands a mother better than another mother they should call their children back not make them targets on foreign land. Well the sides of this the diplomacy side people trying to help the russian president Vladimir Putins call for an end to the host of the seas in the to go in a car about conflict zone on humanitarian grounds he made out appeal during phone calls with those opposed president on the armenian Prime Minister on thursday its going to cross thought when it may go or no. Correspondent in armenia hey this morning so early ican rush to do anything into the day to reign in the 2 parties has been going on for so long. Kevin good morning well in any case moscow is trying to prove how much its determined to the 2 weeks of bloody war and the poor meaning in breakaway republic of nagornokarabakh and the Foreign Ministers of both was there by john and armine have been invited to the russian capital d for peace talks that are supposed to be mediated by foreign minister Sergei Lavrov and that is after the russian president spent hours on the phone with the leaders of both by john and armenia which makes us understand that some kind of 1st steps some kind of agreement have already been made i can tell you that late on thursday a statement by Vladimir Putin appeared on the kremlin website with a strong message for all saw its they must suspend all still it is for humanitarian reasons to allow a Prisoner Exchange and also a swap of bodies of those killed in the conflict a conflict that Vladimir Putin has already called a tragedy for 2 nations that are very close to russia although the question is whether armenia and azerbaijan are really ready for an immediate proper ceasefire i can tell you that a little earlier we spoke to you. The foreign minister of reserve by john and she told us that on the one hand but cool is ready for a ceasefire but all if armenia stops provocations thats how the average onside puts it. Appears to this is why it should not be one sided because as ive said we had ceasefire starting from 1994 and the negotiations continued what did it bring as a result nothing of what john is committed to the peaceful solution but what we see lately is that armenia is continuing provocation. The armenian leader. As well now hes saying that uri vonn is ready for concessions but likewise hes saying that is only possible if who is ready to make steps towards armenia this is what exactly the armenian Prime Minister said. Conflicts should be resolved mutual concessions. And concessions as the bush is ready for them. Now this these 2 weeks have already proved to be the worst outbreak of violence in the crisis in decades and i can tell you that another place where it will be discussed on a high profile level will be yariv on because the russian minister is on his way to the armenian capital this is a planned meeting which is meant to be about a year raise an integration block on the post soviet space which both russian army are part of but surely the crisis will be discussed here. Also a busy day and hopefully. We hope that peace can be somehow achieved after these talks and yet so the diplomacy continues into trying to keep up to speed if you will throughout the day from yerevan media today you know talk of diplomacy the types of whats needed in berlin today the german Capitol Police clashing with left wing demonstrators its authorities have moved into a victim iconic squatters protest and what you see in the early wrong with the scenes that unfolded in berlin overnight weve got some more of them coming up. That was some of the wake up to this morning that a fiction show dont take place today though the activists refused to back down peter all of our your correspondents in berlin morning pay a very tense starts in the day in that particular part of the city. Yes the eviction process is underway of the feminist housing collective light big 34 its named after the street which im talking to you from lie big star say here in the free to chime area of the german capital the building itself around 200 meters is just behind me police put a cordon around it called the red zone in which theyre not letting anybody get close to the the building itself its been described as the end of an era the eviction of one of the last left wing autonomous squats in the german capital buildings that became quite synonymous with berlin over the last 3040 years also the lease on this particular building that the group had expired 2 years ago in the Berlin District Court said that the building needed to be returned to its owner. Illegally this is all over you wouldnt think it though from the protesters that have come out to show support and from the people who remain inside the building saying they arent going to leave the court of appeal though said that they didnt have cause to appeal but they saw no special reasons that were presented nor were evident while why a fiction should be suspended or perspiring in any way the left party the Opposition Group a a in germany trying to get the eviction respond on coronavirus reasons. Saying that thered been a huge spike in their cases here in the german capital and carrying out such a large scale operation is this that was sure to draw a crowd of people opposed to it wasnt particularly wasnt particularly why a lot of the anger though has been directed towards the owner of the building. Part of it says the 68 year old housing property mogul here. He makes his money hes made his millions from buying up sometimes derelict buildings renovating them and selling them renting them out for really high quite high prices he bought this particular Building Back in 2008 and up until 28. 00 seeing the group were paying just under 5000. 00 euro a month for 30 or so apartments now to put that into a bit of context a renovated new apartment in this particular part of the german capital you might get 3 for just under 5000. 00 euro but a lot of the anger from the demonstrators that have come out in a ring around the area as say the red zone where this of fiction is taking place have directed a lot of their anger Property Developers like mr part of its. Fix and the owner has a history of treating their grandma he provides properties for the a. F. D. Party here as houses fall apart and explains the workers on the construction sites we cannot accept all that we dont want to let the tenants be oppressed by someone who only has profit in mind and who is not interest and the wellbeing of the residents of the city. Theres a Huge Police Presence here for this we were hearing around 3000. 00 Police Officers i would say thats right probably a conservative estimate some of those in full riot gear balaclavas on hiding their faces also a number of vehicles have gone past me down towards where the building is vehicles that will be able to get up to windows on the building in order to take people and their belongings out of there now we all. Spoke to the police here in berlin the police union those that represent Police Officers that say all of that equipment is needed because Police Officers have become targets for violence. What is school is that Police Officers not being seen as human beings and hence it is being deemed legitimate to attack them and use violence against them this is something that and a democratically minded person can and must condemn many years ago the then mayor of perlin described the city as poor but sexy things have changed somewhat and berlin now has among the highest the fastest rising property prices in all of europe and thats alternately whats playing behind this is that profit is coming in against what was really the heart and soul of burley and in many peoples eyes these left wing groups these left wing squats autonomous areas are leaving the german capital or a page kicks off more than a snarky proposal for the day for now have a good day yourself peter oliver a correspondent in berlin you know somewhere not having a good day at all sudan one of the poorest nations in the world which has seen years of political turmoil and now has to deal with major floods on its hand is our sister can only september but the consequences are still being acutely felt in 16 out of the countrys 18 regions authorities have put in place a 3 month long state of emergency. Or rather i doubt nothing out of the water has destroyed all of our House Furniture and belongings they were glowing lost in the flood of being evacuated from our homes to safer places several houses were in time its truly we managed to save some furniture because the rest mistakingly through it so. Some people are living now under a tree we dont have anything left and children live on the trees theres no place to shelter us and the village is still submerged in water were building a hoss out of wood and plastic she said to show to ourselves and our families until things get better. This awful flooding is terrible ok want to go ahead saw to friday morning good morning its going to try to pass the hour this is ahead election day creeping ever closer in the u. S. The new poll map showing americans think more violence is just around the corner to the think it could kick off big dogs you want to have more about. So after the break. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport thats less im show business ill see you then. Hi good morning so the next u. S. President ial debates now even less likely to happen after the commission on president ial debates refused to trumps teams request to hold it in person the commission decided to conduct the event virtually after Donald Trump Tested positive for covert 19 trump says he will not participate youre saying youre not going to participate you know im not going to waste my time in a virtual debate thats not what debating is all about you sit behind a computer and do a debate its ridiculous and then they cut you off whenever they want. Originally the much it was set for october the 15th now the team has proposed doing the whole event for the following week after the president s completed his course a covert 19 treatment but the Biden Campaign is not on board of all new polls. Showing growing fears over where the election may lead more than half of respondents said they believe violence will increase as a result in november election people expect to see riots looting and cities in flames at the same time just under 2 thirds fear the country would be on the verge of civil war we discussed it with a number of experts than. It seems that postelection dooms being predicted whoever comes out on top next month they correct as i was going to happen i dont know if i would force the war i could certainly course need some additional civil war referencing a lot of the civil unrest over the past few months by the. Local level math of the war however you do have the stake being very very high or certainly politicians drumming up fear and hate of each other causes people to get scared and in sometimes it incites people to violence but when you look at the actual policies of the republicans and democrats once theyre elected and serve in office the actual policies are almost the same the systematic violence that is our daily diet across this country already regardless really of whom who wins will certainly try to victory puts fascism away supremacy in the drivers seat again for years the coals for action from disgruntled groups a louder than calls for calm and that its a juggle thats already been rolling through 2020 but we know its a strange year you know weve had the country shut down for the past 6 months weve had people who are marginalized economically who dont have the opportunity to work from home they have found the
