A lesson. His idea of having arabic lessons in schools. All over get even you watching R T International now there are hopes a breakthrough can be reached today in the bitter cold flick that has erupted between armenia and azerbaijan the Foreign Ministers of both countries have sat down for talks in moscow but im of course the rare visit the venue awaiting news of any developments. Well certainly Great Expectations of the eyes of the world are right now on the russian capital where the talks between the Foreign Ministers of armenia and azerbaijan mediated by their russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov have already begun there on the way at the moment now journalists were allowed in for about 30 seconds for there to witness their initial encounter then everybody was asked to step outside as its also continued behind closed doors once again theyre ongoing right now as we speak meanwhile earlier Vladimir Putin called for and still it sees in gordon a car bomb and to allow for the exchange of bodies and prisoners and for all the humanitarian reasons that some of this russias president to scold will be into the still exists in the government core of conflict zone for humanitarian reasons hes also suggested the 2 sides look at an exchange of prisoners and the remains of those killed now once again all eyes are on moscow right now as the Russian Foreign minister is mediating talks with his nearby johnny and armenian counterparts now the call they keep it up just recently with both sides accusing each other off escalations and both sides have been really serious about standing on the ground sold the solves are going to be very important. To not only stop the hostilities in the region but also perhaps find some Common Ground between the 2 sides thats all this once again are ongoing and we will be here to cover everything thats going on and of course well give you the all come as soon as we have it. But in the meantime fighting does continue to rage between the 2 countries and a story cathedral at the heart of the disputed region i realize he really needs to being shelled russian gymnast nearby who are also wounded one of them seriously well here is the aftermath of that shelling which hit the church twice in the same day. You mean me in Foreign Ministry is plain is there any forces claiming that they pose a threat to the civilized world meanwhile siri Authorities Say 7 people have been injured in recent shelling by Armenian Forces rockets hit a restaurant in the city of and left the school severely damaged in a separate shelling in the golden boy region as a big also reported the local Police Station mr straw it along with civilian buildings where the head of the collective Security Treaty Organization of which both armenia and russia are members say that at present the alliance needs to do nothing but call for pace but in an interview to r. T. He was asked if that would change if armenia itself was attacked by as a big. Well im sure that the regime will not hit the actual territory of armenia im sure such development will not happen thats because initially said that it has no territorial claims to armenia it does not challenge armenia sovereignty and territorial integrity i think that it is neither in the interest of armenia nor as a regime for the conflict to grow into a regional war but if it happens then any member of the c. S. T. Has the right to count on help without this there is no organization but since the decades old conflict burst back into life nearly 2 weeks ago the fighting is only been intensifying the fiercest clashes have been reported in the south of the disputed region he was done office near the border and talk to some of the armenian women who have seen their sons head off to war they spoke of both pride in concern sentiments echoed on both sides of the conflict. Arsenic lives a modest life as shes inviting us in her apartment its almost like we 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 with the usual service he was on the 7th of january he had been serving for 10 months or he was in hundreds from the very beginning its from base to chechnya embattled goats and i didnt know that he was sent to the front like 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 a drought 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. 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 cause 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 favorite scene a lot but we do communicate a lot with other mothers whose kids are on the front asking each other about them because we all have kids serving there i can ringback share my emotions in church only i feel bad. But i can sure it only when i light a candle in a 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 or now yes apart than one im proud of having the child no mother knowing there is currently a war in the garden harbored will call me rest her head you know out after 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 one car a buck i know theyre strong i know how hes doing hes in the fight in spirit and he inspires me to be strong here at home and asked me hopes 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 are 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 he is 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 frontline my son is there now defending his country who speak by phone when there is a possibility to do it he always says to me that everything is fine. Whyever washed amongst a week before the war began my son volunteered at 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 our 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. Now it is meant to combat extremism but theres been nothing but an extreme reaction to the french president s new plan for arabic to be taught in the Country School or spy left and right of united than ever opposition to the idea shot at the bin ski now reports. Under plans announced by president mccord france is fighting back against separatism and a deviation away from the secular nature of the republic but the law which is yet to be fully drafted and released has been seen as an attack against islam not on speech did they kill to alleviate those concerns. The problem is islam ist separatism this conscious theorized political 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 dropout 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 arabic grass called is a good idea because we have a lot of young people from North West Africa and europe. Personally im completely against this idea because here in france there are too many generals asians we point to say no this is march and mostly 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 italian Spanish English all these languages i think thats a really good idea i think people do with these want to do if theyre interested its critics have also rounded on it denouncing 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 loss is 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. I think theres a message and i think thats where all the french are. Going to if we dont want to be around the bush trying to integration if we want to help communities that are trying to go 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 i think we shouldnt mix the subjects and say as ive also heard people saying online that teaching arabic. It is an act of separatism you know that arabic has existed here for a long time and it never brought me that radicalism or terrorism there is this civic branch of muslims who naturally make the headlines but this is only a branch thats not all muslims dont generalise. New sanctions have been slapped on iran by the us for their isolating the country from the worlds Financial Systems washington claims the move is to stop iran sponsoring terror activities and developing Nuclear Weapons to iran denies the allegations and says that the restrictions will hurt the iranian people the hardest image coded 19 pandemic us regime was to blow up our remaining channels to pay for food and medicine to radians will survive this latest of cruelties but conspiring to starve a population is a crime against humanity culprits and enablers who block our money will face justice for the new sanctions to freeze the u. S. Assets of 18. 00 arraigning banks which is almost all of the countrys Financial Institutions it also places secondary sanctions on firms that do business with these banks and although washington claims the restrictions dont apply when it comes to basic necessities critics to say foreign banks will be scared off from getting involved in humanitarian aid lets get analysis on all of this with the middle east next relations expert thanks for coming on saving good to see what are your thoughts here what impact will the sanctions have on iran. Thank you for having me dizzying impact will be almost the same because you could not its almost not foreign banks are doing business with iran you can count you can count the banks that are doing business with iran on just one hand and they are they do business in for food medical medicine and medical equipment so those new sanctions are just a way for the president trying to assure himself as a strong tool his electorate because the elections are approaching in almost 3 weeks and he wants to assure that he is still a tough guy and he still can bring. Back our most chalk the iranian population and with these new sanctions the iranian population are suffering a lot because the government doesnt the government of iran doesnt suffer a lot its only the population of iran which have not made this in no job and the prices are skyrocketing soar the population is suffering a lot and what you make of the us is position when it says look we are sanctioning iran but we dont think it will impact on basic needs in the country so people will be able to get the food and medicine they need do you think that in your eyes do you think that will happen. I dont think it will happen because as i told you as of one president pulled back from the from the iran our core almost all Foreign Companies we draw from iran you almost have no Foreign Companies present in iran almost iran doesnt almost sell any oil in anymore and the banks the foreign banks dont make any business with iran because the if scared off the american judiciary system because they. Cant impose fines on them so in order to do business with iran it has to be within these. We said made this in. Medical equipment but theyre scared to do business because they dont they dont want to get in any trouble with the american judicial system and because of the american see if you do you do business with iran you can not do business in industry in the United States anymore sort of theyre scared and they dont are they almost dont do any business with iran is there any way to work around these sanctions because i know the previously when it says it comes out and says that it doesnt believe iran is making Nuclear Weapons and its trying to formulate a system to do some form of business with iran is the situation is dire as youre saying other things afoot to allow iran to work around whats been put in place in terms of these sanctions. The only way to go around this is the European Countries put place a system called in states in which iran can send all toward tool to their counterparts in europe and the europeans can send them any any any items they want and the other way again counter. Is iran is negotiating a huge accord with china and iran will give its oil to china and the chinese states will send all the items they have done so iran is going step by step is falling in the arms of the church in after china government is government and americans and the europeans are the are the losing party in this in these new sanctions and of course that youre in is because if they sign. China its are literally chinas going to when theyre caught because youre in the ring and dont have any ground to negotiate strongly with the Chinese People because they have no way to send their money abroad or to do business with the European Countries are of course with the americans understood ok look were going to leave it there weve run out of time but thanks for your thoughts on this of scottish shambling middle eastern relations expert thank you. Just days after claiming himself cured of the corona virus donald trump is reportedly pushing for the antibody therapy to he received to be cleared for mass use the president has said he wants an emergency use authorization signed by the food and Drug Administration as soon as possible but it comes not long after he accused the same agency of launching a political hit job against him that after it introduced tougher vaccine guidelines that could potentially delay the approval of any jap. New f. D. A. Rules make it more difficult for them to speed up vaccines for approval before election day just another political hit job. For the new vaccine guidelines to say manufacturers have to wait 2 months before approval can be considered so trials can flag any safety issues and that means the earliest any drug could win approval would be our novembers election the f. D. A. Has said its decision is not political i have made it clear from the beginning of my junior year that the only thing that will guide our decisions is data in science all outside an increase from Administration Officials members of Congress Local officials are routed. By the Washington Pain Center chief executive John Dombrowski believes that trump does risk his political future if he plays loose with vaccine safety. But it was about the election clearly you know that either Democrat Party has put in troops a way up the failure of managing the covert quota syrian ited states so he has a lot of pressure to make sure he does something with respect to vaccines as he did with personal protective equipment ventilators respirators he did everything from that perspective and i would go. A vaccine that he wants to turn out obviously before the election to hopefully you know regain another 4 years of the way house if he put something out there that was not safe and not effective that would be devastating to his legacy so he has to make sure that everything is above safe and effective for the American People to believe in it and obviously to believe it and dont take the vaccine for so pretty meanwhile the next president ial debate is looking increasingly unlikely donald trump has said it would be a waste of his time after it was announced that it would be held virtually following the president testing positive for corona virus youre saying youre not going to participate and no im not going to waste regimen 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 or trump suggested delaying the debate until the end of the month bidens refused to budge however the democrats revealed suggesting trying to remove the president from office citing concerns over his Health House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has hinted about invoking the 25th amendment to oust trump meanwhile a new poll does show growing fears over where they yell action will actually lead because more than half of respondents do you think violence will increase over novembers results and people anticipating riots noting at the same time just under 2 thirds are worried that the country could actually be heading toward some sort of civil war so is all this clean justified or calm bright spoke to a panel of experts. It seems that postelection doomed being predicted whoever comes out on top next month ill they correct as i was going to happen i dont know if i would course or i could certainly course need some additional civil war referencing a lot of the civil unrest over the past few months violence rate i dont know if its risen to the level of a civil war however you do have the stakes 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 balances are our daily diet across this country already regardless really of who who wins but certainly trying big 3 puts fascism away supremacy in the drivers seat again it was for years the coals for action from disgruntled groups a louder than calls for calm and 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 are going to have the opportunity to work from home they have found themselves bearing the brunt of the law down. To the country and that of course people poured aeration a 4th riot well america is indeed as divided stratified and polarized d as ever right wing violent elements are certainly ready at the beck and call of trump to ryans action in large segments of the population 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 and in reality you. Most americans dont want violence but this have happened anyway would america be in this state now is it 4 years of trump or would it have happened anyway well certainly on a trump is down to spend insurance not seeing this seriously hes prioritized other since i mean how is he showing up at the white house is if today was a normal day imagine of one of us showed up at studio our at our jobs when we were still contagious we called it trying to downplay it 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 faith palla the rate about on par with who has a 99. 9 percent survival rate except for some very specific categories of people so there has been a politicization of a medical problem in the United States its ironic that the democrats blame trump for not taking it seriously enough but at the same time they blame trump for messing up the economy when he tried to shut things down so you really you cant win when you politicize the medical situation like that. Now state of emergency has been declared in the capital bishkek by the countrys president whos ordered to treat this on to the streets it does come after days of unrest following a disputed an old election at the weekend 2 people are reported to have been shot on friday local cheerless to more sent this report from bishkek. Its getting dark in our 2 square in kurdistan but the number of people on it does not decrease president declared a state of emergency it starts at 20 oclock by local time troops are to be brought into the city and the power is transferred to deputy minister of internal affairs sort of leave those who were busy day in a country in the morning the temporarily selfproclaimed leaders of the internal Affairs Bodies and the countrys Security Committee who left their ports however the Law Enforcement agencies a clear that they control the situation in the country at the moment crowds of people and be observed only on the square the city is controlled by peoples guards which are created from among the active citizens there with the internal troops to take them through the city will be clear in the next few hours but if people who are in the square do not intend to disperse to the small of specially for us today from the city. Elsewhere states the nations hes also been declared in sudan after some of the worst flooding there in years for many it means life is proving even more of a challenge in what was already one of the worlds poorest nations. Or rather i began the water has destroyed all of our furniture and belongings they were a little lost on the floor being evacuated from our homes to safe places several houses were in time its truly a menace to save some furniture because the rest was taken with the water. Some people are living now under a tree we dont have anything left the children live on the trees theres no place to shelter us and the village is still submerged in water were building a house out of wood and plastic shes just show to ourselves and our families until things get better.
