Good afternoon from russia this october the 9th so im kevin i would put out his World News Center with the latest for the next hour if you can stay with me to take you through those headlines that developing news with some news on the diplomacy front 1st of all the nagornokarabakh conflict armenia and azerbaijan have confirmed earlier today participation in talks have been offered by moscow its a big deal. Its off to the russian president Vladimir Putin called for and on humanitarian grounds and on another track russias Prime Minister is in yet of attending the ration to Governmental Council in remarks this become issues to stress stress that russia is ready to contribute to resolving the conflict in the government. Immediately to his part and thank all the participants for coming at such a difficult time adding that his country is ready to restart the Peace Process correspondent nipa trying to has more on all the negotiations. So moscow is proving just how much its determined to end the 2 weeks of bloodshed in the pro armenian breakaway republic of nagornokarabakh and azerbaijan and these efforts are getting the proper response from armenia and azerbaijan the talks between the Foreign Ministers from moscow yairi who are happening on friday in moscow so the invitations were sent they were accepted and certain of is the mediator in these talks now that is after the russian president Vladimir Putin spent hours on the phone with the leaders of both armenia and azerbaijan which makes us understand that some kind of 1st steps towards some kind of agreements were probably already made because otherwise they just wouldnt be heading to the russian capital now wait on thursday the russian president made a statement it appeared on the kremlin website and which he called on both sides to immediately lay down arms and stop shooting russias president to school to the end to the still exists in the conflict zone for humanitarian reasons hes also suggested the 2 sides looked at an exchange of prisoners and the remains of those killed shortly before that president Vladimir Putin called the crisis in nagornokarabakh a real tragedy. For 2 nations that are very close to russia the question is though to what extent armenia and azerbaijan are ready for an immediate and proper cease fire because when we listen to armenia and azerbaijan speaking we can hear that they are always expecting the other side to take the 1st step to this is where it should not be one sided it because as ive said weve had cease fire starting from 1900 who are in the negotiations continued what they did as a result nothing of what john is committed to the peaceful solution but what we see lately is that armenia is continuing to provocation. Conflicts should be resolved mutual concessions. Hes ready for it and will make concessions as a bush is also ready for them the war in nagornokarabakh the escalation that has already proved to become the worst in decades is also being discussed here in the area of on as the Prime Ministers of Russia Belarus kazakstan and armenia are getting together now that was a preplanned event for a post soviet integration block where loads of things are being discussed but without any doubt whats happening in nagornokarabakh is the primary focus during the talks here as well more familiar about. The shooting. Shelling is devastated in a story cathedral nagornokarabakh a church that came under fire numerous times during the previous conflicts between armenia and azerbaijan and this time 3 russian journalists close by getting injured in the latest fray with one in a serious condition is the aftermath of the shelling in fact is the 2nd time in one day that the church has been struck in foreign ministries blaming as any forces for both attacks there even saying their opponents pose a challenge to the civilized world maintop. As area 40 say 7 people were injured in recent shelling by Armenian Forces rockets hit a restaurant in the city of bar the and severely damaged a secondary school there the fighting has intensified over the past 2 weeks as weve been reporting casualties havent been limited to the front line sadly civilians are ending up victims as well the fiercest fighting has been reported in the south of the disputed region and he goes down of his near the border to talk to some of the armenian women whove had to send their sons to war they spoke of both pride and worry sentiments that record across the opposing lines as well. 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 her ancestors she offers us coffee and juicy astley the good to talk about her son fighting in the gorn i can back what 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 frontline 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 their by journeys a clue szell gateway to flood the region with own troops. As mc 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 so 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 emotions 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 about im proud of having that child no mother knowing there is currently a war in the barn a car bomb 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 carver and im very proud you support them. Im proud to the to have a son who is a soldier now serving in one of the military units in the car a buck i know they are strong i know how hes doing hes in a fight in spirit and he inspires me to the 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 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 this sentiment is not exclusive to this side of the front line as are you mothers equally as proud of their boys advancing on the enemy. Both my sons completed their military service with distinction when the conflict started my oldest son was already on 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 hes an excellent mood hes ready to carry out any order any word of our president. My son just came back from the army when the conflict began after september is events when our enemies once again attacked our country he was conscripted again to exercise 1st and then to the front line my son is there now defending his country we speak by phone when there is a possibility to do it he always says to me that. Everything is fine overwash the monks 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 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 now made them targets on foreign land and we just dont have reporting from the border with nagornokarabakh see. A check of some other news now the french president of a cross says hes got a new plan to teach arabic in the Country Schools he says its a way of combating extremism rather than taking it in religious associations or mosques but thats not sitting well with part of French Society hes come under a hail of criticism from both the right left in france across polish skis got the details. On the plans announced by president korn france is fighting back against separatism and a deviation away from the secular nature of the republic but the law which has yet to be fully drafted and released has been seen as an attack against islam that point speech did they kill to alleviate those concerns. The problem is islam ist separatism this conscious theorize politico religious project which materializes in repeated deviations from the values of the republic which often results in the constitution of a counter society and whose manifestations of the drop out of children the development of Community Based sports and cultural practices which are the pretext for teaching principles which do not comply with the laws of the republic french authorities fear that children and Students Learning arabic in mosques all being taught by religious associations could fall prey to indoctrination by isnt mists and in a bid to have more control the government plans to expand its availability in schools but not everyone is convinced that its a good idea according to a new poll some 69 percent of respondents were not in favor so what do people here in paris make of the idea yes for me it is a good idea today people from around the world have a right to speak their language and to teach arabic in our schools is a good idea because we have a lot of young people from North West Africa and europe. Personally and completely against this idea because here in france there are too many generals ations we point the same the march of muslims when there are more serious matters but who i dont really have an opinion on that but it has to be controlled might be a good idea or if there are other languages it might be a good idea to learn. Arabic hebrew. Spanish english all these languages i think thats a really good idea i think people do what they want to do if theyre interested its critics have also rounded on it the note saying it is being counter productive its ridiculous its the best way to boost the proliferation of quranic schools or denominational schools if we want to islam ice france this is the best way to get there the language of the republic is french institutionalizing learning of the arabic language in schools is cowardice and a mistake but even if arabic classes or more widely offered there is no indication there would be a prolific appetite for them its currently the 8th most popular Foreign Language chosen by 11 to 15 year olds and figures show that only about 0. 2 percent actually study it whats not clear yet and this is perhaps where the concern comes from is whether or not under the new plans arabic will become part of mandatory lessons here in france if that was the case it is likely to feel the fire of those who believe teaching arabic in schools only fosters communitarianism and blues the feeling of patriotism the exact opposite of what mr. Theres nothing wrong with teaching in school what purpose i think is a political message i think thats where all the french are. Going to if we dont want to be around the bush integration if we want to help communities that are trying to live together. And which is one of the best instruments which can be used to get people around here. Of course we teach the other languages even the president is in favor of teaching the arabic language so i think we shouldnt mix the subjects and say as ive also heard people saying online that teaching arabic is. Is an active separatism you know that arabic has existed here for a long time and it never brought me that radicalism or terrorism there is a specific branch of muslims who naturally make the headlines but this is only a branch thats not all muslims dont generalise. Elsewhere they believe in their acts this morning clashes a dont want to report police have faced off with left wing demonstrators as authorities moved into a victim iconic squatters protest. The occupant should return the building to its owner the lease on the house expired 2 years ago but the activists refused to leave the building the previous attempt to vic the squatters that ended in failure back in 29 so the activists accusing the buildings legal owner a burly and real estate mogul of unscrupulous practices they say as many as 3000. 00 Police Officers were deployed to the site at one point around daybreak figures been somewhat scaled back though since he is to be completed end of the day well keep you posted this too thanks be with us this friday by the way. Head election day creeping closer in the u. S. To escape from the next debate is up in the air after donald trump says he wont do it remotely plus guests give us their thoughts on the potential for election violence. Thats coming up after this break. Seem wrong. To shape our. Outlook. And indeed. When some find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Theres a threshold at which. Big tobacco realized what they were doing and that they continued to do it they continued to put more and more things into cigarettes that made them more addictive and made me want to smoke more of them and the point im trying to make is that social media in particular these artificially intelligent algorithms. Are doing the same thing. Again false next and the next u. S. President ial debate is even less likely to happen after the commission on president ial debates refused the trump teams request to hold its law eve face to face youre saying youre not going to participate and no im not going to waste my time on 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. Ouch well trumps Team Proposed in the next debate plan prefers day talked over the 29th bidens advisors though refused to accept that option and also now democrats want to remove trump based on his health yesterday House Speaker pelosi hinted that democrats would look at using the 25th amendment maybe to oust the president but its the cabinet including the Vice President who must initially invoke that provision not congress and trump is yet to respond to pelosi has plans maybe fireworks when he does well keep you posted so as the debate is hanging by a thread a new poll Shows Growing fears over where the election may lead more than half of respondents said they believe violence may increase over novembers results people expect to see riots looting and cities inflamed at the same time just under 2 thirds fear the country could be on the verge of civil war so is all the gloom justified what were calling called embrace spoke to our panel of experts about it. 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 us to war i could certainly course need some additional civil war referencing a lot of the civil unrest over the past few months violence i dont know if its risen to the level of civil war however you do have the state being very very high will 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 it will for years the coals for action from disgruntled groups a louder than calls for calm and its a joke you know 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 wouldnt have the opportunity to work from home they have found themselves bearing the brunt of a lot. Of the country and that of course people poured aeration of 4th or cry if you will america has indeed as divided stratified and polarized as ever right wing violent elements are certainly ready at the beck and call of trunks of science action in large segments of the population a very worried about every time a president s up for election the people in the media say this is the most important election of our lifetimes and if you dont vote for this bad republican or this bad democrat the worlds going to come to the end were going to have violence in the streets so i think its overblown i in. And in reality most americans dont want violence but this of happened anyway would america be in the state now is it 4 years of trouble would it have happened anyway well certainly on a trump is down to lead this pandemic in trump is not taking this seriously hes prioritized other thing i mean how is he showing up at the white house is if today was a normal day imagine if one of us showed up at studio our at our jobs when he was still contagious we called the china down plea that signals the wrong things to the rest of the country i think coronavirus is natural and republicans or democrats whoever was in charge neither could have done much different and wed probably see the same i think its unfair to blame either party for it however when you look at this disease cope with the infection fake palate the rate about on par with hulu has a 99. 9 percent survival rate except for some very specific categories of people so there
