Security council has called for an immediate cessation of hostilities between armenia and azerbaijan fighting between the 2 sides is into its 4th day now as the bridge where its once again vying for control over the disputed border region. And also you crews on the ground there and filmed this exclusive video it shows the wreckage of a drone shot by the army an army is the only media outlet that are allowed to enter the conflict zone our correspondent sent this report film with a night vision camera. Right now were between the positions of the Armenian Army which is over there and the as they are by joining forces which are stationed right over this hill and here is the debris of a massive unmanned drone that was shot down by the Armenian Air Defense this is the main piece but not the only one in fact theres still a distinctive stench of burning up in the air which means it was shot down literally hours before we arrived here in fact where the 1st International News crew allowed here by the Armenian Forces that here is school and everybody has to walk over a huge pieces of metal like this and well this marks yet another day of deadly clashes between armenia and the disputed region of nagornokarabakh and as there by john not by turkey in fact amenia accused by john of attacking its soil today which means that probably conflict spilled over the borders of this disputed region but were being told that we have to hurry we have to rush it is not safe here so we have to wrap up i will be bringing you more of this as we go more of this as a stay here im done of reporting from the disputed region of nagornokarabakh r. T. Meanwhile a very media have published their own video allegedly of a drone attack in armenian soldiers it comes as armenia and azerbaijan both report increasing civilian and military casualties aunties water gas they have has more on the escalating situation. All the while 5 and stephen stop with the onset of the night now what were hearing is that about johnny forces claim that armenians shelled civilian settlements over nice that they had been damaged the civilian infrastructure civilian casualties are dubber of people wounded we also have heard as there by john claim to have destroyed an s 300 anti air Defense Missile complex that was stationed apparently they say near the front lines that paranoid or of this coming just hours of the u. N. Security council came out and condemned in strong words the violence they called it both sides did d. C. S. To deescalate and didnt negotiate with each other to Start Talking to each other unfortunately as they are by john and armine were also given a voice during the discussion they only thing that they agreed on is that they completely disagree with each other on forces of armenia subjected to considerations of the armed forces because of course you know along the front line and adjacent Populated Areas in my country to use an intensifier you know to repulse the aggression on forces so forces by john have under treat consolations in the exercise of the right of selfdefense the businesses of majority statement this to conceal its responsibility who preplanned march skew move through aggression a greased people no good economy the aggression. And in your Reference Point the use of a journey so to milledge contra is not really deceptive while bad as being an international out. Calling for both sides to pull back for a cease fire unconditional cease fire to be put in place certain nations have picked sides one of them of course is turkey which has backed by john firmly weve heard statements such as i said by john in turkey or one People Living in 2 different states weve also heard a senior turkish official come out and say that any meaning an attack on and they said about jordan settlement outside the conflict zone should be and would be construed as an attack on turkish soil perhaps an invitation to get involved militarily we stand on the field and on the table now we want to solve this problem completely turkeys role in all of this has been a point of contention much debate and argument especially between armenia and azerbaijan we will of course heard yesterday that armenia cames turkish f. 16 fighter of shooting down one of its jets accusing turkish advisors of being in the field and directing is that about joining forces all of this i said by jollity self has denied. That we have information that turkey is seeking a reason for a wider involvement in this conflict some look to have 16 jets have been taking part in the fighting its easy to prove that its just another provocation by in the east through 3 turkish water instructors and high ranking personnel a currently at command posts in azerbaijan turkey is also recruiting mercenaries in syria and taking them to azerbaijan to fight in a war against nagornokarabakh and armenia turkey is giving its moral support and we are grateful to the turkish government and turkish people for solidarity in standing by resigning there is no other role turkeys take the conflict the passions here are overwhelming and the theory is that things will spiral even further out of control than they already are the race is on according to many leaders in a bid to end this conflict and this conflict before it can get even worse. One of several border disputes remaining from the collapse of the soviet Union Republics receded from a civil john over 30 years ago and a close itself independent its not however widely recognized as an independent state with more on the back story here is all to use. A region nestled in the Caucasus Mountains caught between armenia and azerbaijan is now in the global spotlight how did new corner karabakh to get to this trouble point the disputed territory has a rich history having lived under many rulers and kingdoms before seeing out the final days of the russian empire 917 came the empire collapsed 918 came as a big john and armenia became independent historically armenia and nagornokarabakh ruled his were clear but azerbaijan tried again and again to take back control armenia and azerbaijan independence was short lived in 1920 they were incorporated into the soviet union. Nagornokarabakh wanted a referendum to join all media but Joseph Stalin had other plans based on the need for National Peace between muslims and damini and the economic ties of the upper and lower karabakh its permanent ties with as regime leave nagornokarabakh within the as was shown soviet socialist republic for more than 6 decades armenia tried to repeal the decision with no success then in the late eightys the people of nagornokarabakh started their own campaign to unite with armenia after a vote they declared their allegiance to in 1988 which was rejected by both moscow and. Millions protested in both countries buildings were torched businesses were attacked moscow had made its decision 3 years later 99 to one the u. S. S. R. Collapsed but still nothing changed. Then started the bloodiest clash the regions ever seen and total an estimated 30000 were killed and 1000000 what displaced finally in 1994 a fragile Russian Troops came into effect. With. The. Move since then military clashes have periodic reflagged up and subsided International Players regularly mediate but with armenia now considering recognizing nagornokarabakh to independence and as a page on unwilling to even discuss it finding Common Ground is increasingly difficult historically when it comes to religion and ethnicity when 2 sides are so convinced of the rightness when. Generations have been involved in the fight long lasting peace is allusive no doubt many are hoping nagornokarabakh proves to be the exception. Donald trump and joe biden exchanged insults and interrupted each other in the 1st president ial Election Debate before novembers vote it was a taxi fare thats been described as messy and chaotic. Listen respectfully to each others opinions im not here to call out his lies Everybody Knows hes a liar will never use the word smart with me that ever use that word because you know what theres nothing smart about you joe what are you sure i dont excuse the one who so you are number 2 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 you will hes just shows for a minute but why do you do it over again in the last 25 years because im going to do it because you are president things up you are a senator and the worst were president is america is ever. To get any word with this clown directly then you know now that were done were done sir well joining me now to shoot a dont call to fold the latest on this thanks for coming in more like a reality t. V. Show isnt it really between them between the between 2 president ial candidates thats right and i mean the American People had high hopes for this debate its happening during the backdrop of a Global Pandemic an economic crisis but i think its safe to say Many Americans thought they were watching a circus more than anything i mean the modern the moderator was barely able to hold the discourse together stop it from just devolving into outright insults and surprisingly the Mainstream Media immediately started putting out headlines just blaming donald trump for all of this but as we saw from that previous clip it takes 2 to tango and joe biden didnt exactly seem to be living up to his promise that he would bring dignity to politics. You should get out of your bunker and get out of the sand trap in get in your golf course and fund what needs to be done now to save lives he wants to shut down this country and i want to keep it open. I had it close to the greatest economy in the history of our country we handed him a booming economy he blew it was it a loon. He races with a crime bill 1994 where you call them super predators africanamericans are super predators. Or what you said that the public had high hopes for this to buy whats the reaction been to this really fiery debate between the 2 while despite the back and forth between biden and trump the moderator was able to ask a lot of questions that the American People want answers to things regarding Coronavirus Relief Racism Police brutality social unrest but the more the most important thing is whether or not either candidate effectively responded to these questions lets take a listen to what voters thought about their responses. Honestly this is a very painful response i dont think either of them one this is 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 it was a twister it was a wild ride it went right it went left there was a lot going on there was a lot of interruption it was crazy. New that i dont think either one of them respected none of the other. And the u. S. Economy seems to agree with these voters as well because just after the end of this chaotic debate the u. S. Stock futures took a dive i mean at such a turbulent point in u. S. History this is really a red flag for voters for in terms of what theyre going to see for the next 4 years whichever administration comes to power and some have been taking the its better to laugh than to cry approach sure its going to get even crazier before november as. Well of germany raise the sanctions in a bid to pressure moscow to doing what its told as regards the attic saying of ali case more on that after the break. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see you then. Seemed wrong. Just dont call. Me. To shape our disdain comes to educate and engage in equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for Common Ground. Lets talk about tea and crumpets and scour the London Bridge and the. Welcome back to the program mangum arkell says he will meet with about a russian opposition leader. Is currently in selfimposed exile in lithuania having played a home come to country after all was the street his president ial election was german chancellor appears to share her view that this was rigged. Ok levis phone didnt we do not recognize the legitimacy of the question because presidency him to engage in dialogue with his people without interference from east or west we come down whats going on there on a daily basis specifically the derailment of democratic processes and the violence perpetrated against the opposition german chancellor Angela Merkel has added her voice to calls from french president emmanuel back on for Alexander Lukashenko to step down as president of belarus micron had met with svetlana ticking off sky the woman who ran against in august disputed election just earlier this week that meeting took place between the french president and mistaken following that meeting that crown said that he was willing to act as a mediator to get to the bottom of the impasse that followed that vote however there has been some questions over the fitness of mr micron to act as a mediator in a dispute hes already very publicly taken aside in or speaking on wednesday the german chancellor Angela Merkel said that she will also be holding her own meeting with svetlana taken off in a meeting of the need. I will meet with their positions to one of square one we see brief women taking to the streets calling for corruption free life i cannot but it mire that. With 2 of the keep power brokers in france and germany either having met with or agreeing to meet with svetlana ticket its hard to see how that sits alongside previous statements by Emmanuel Marco on and Angela Merkel saying that there should be no outside interference in the future of dollars. From class for us its absolutely clear belarus must find its way by itself and there must be no involvement from abroad the people of belarus know what they want and it was good for them. We want the dialogue to take place among belorussians themselves with europe. When union is ready to take part if thats what belorussians want russia should also be included as part of that dialogue moscow is unequivocal on this and says that these meetings are direct outside interference on the future of belarus Vladimir Putins Spokes Person to me to the press corp saying that there was tremendous external pressure on minsk and on Alexander Lukashenko right now we consider these decisions to be at odds with International Law they clearly fail to facilitate dialogue and in effect amount to meddling in internal affairs they expect more belorussia talk coming this week on thursday and friday there is a special e. U. Council summit taking place during that summit we can expect the future of sanctions on belarus and all Alexander Lukashenko and those close to him to be discussed bringing you all the latest on that as it happens. The threat of sanctions being dangled over russia yet again france and germany are warning moscow of consequences if it doesnt do more to shed light on the alleged poisoning of russian opposition figure out a. One of our call on russia to do more to investigate this case the case such as this must have consequences the therefore reserves the right to impose sanctions on. The. Quicker and more there was very clearly an assault and an assassination attempt that was made on russian soil against a russian opponent with a chemical agent on the business related in russia. And therefore it is on russia to give indispensable clarification that we will have to draw from the information that russia provides the consequences all its refusal to provide tariff occasion. Quietly German Foreign ministers tough was the chancellor im going to work on as just said shell wait and see what the chemical weapons watchdog concludes before deciding how to proceed meanwhile russian prosecutors have now sent a 3rd request to balance the evidence they need to formally open a case the previous requests were ignored we consider it an attempt to politicize the matter everything that is going on indicates that it is not about seeking the truth our prosecutors have sent a 3rd request to germany but there has only been one of response and that was from the media that the request had been received. It was transported to berlin after falling ardent on a domestic flight in siberia he was recently discharged from hospital the political analyst Gilbert Doctorow says the west is deliberately piling the pressure on moscow. This is a talking point. That i think we have to look at. Marcia statement in which they are not growing in the context of what i see is it wrong chair or rush or going on to the military for informational. Cannot extend to bring in the roads into question the west is now all. Pressure on russia and the army is only one. It is a leader against was working as the mirror you. Want to make a new world because if there were to be a proper investigation the absurdity of the claims made against russian. Oil or the voice of them that was one form will be completely. While face masks and gloves are designed to stop the spread of the coronavirus it seems they could be doing the opposite when thrown away thats the warning from local authorities in england which claim careless disposal of people could pose a Health Hazard not only does this blight local areas but it also risks spreading infection facemasks gloves and other forms of personal protective equipment designed to protect people from infection but poor disposal risks doing the opposite. Of the World Health Organization also spoke out saying a proper disposal could lead to a surge in transmission its not just Health Concerns about p. P. D. That have been mounting but also environmental ones a report by British Research has claimed the daily use of a facemask by every u. K. Citizen would soon lead to 70000. 00 tonnes of Plastic Waste professor Lawrence Young from the university of warrick believes or usable p. P. E. Is the only option. Appropriate disposal of face molls and other p. P. C. Essential to avoid any increase in transmission and so its really important that people take responsibility to dispose of their face masks gloves etc in appropriate way spins and do not litter the streets and other Public Places with potentially contaminated face masks and gloves and also highlights the important use perhaps of cloth by small slow washable because washable face mass will be much more easier to deal with they would washing will destroy the virus and its a much more environmentally friendly approach in your own home you can dispose of these in your normal black bag on the local councils certainly in the United Kingdom happy to take those away and deal with them appropriately if youre out and about disposing of facemask in litter bins is perfectly ok but if they do happen to fall off or you decide to rob the irresponsibly just to ditch them in a road or in a public place and that is our really really socially irresponsible thing to do. Because in the u. S. A preparing a fresh round of covert 19 relief packages as they call me faces its greatest challenge in decades that some of the stories in boom bust but even i back in 30 minutes with the latest so you back that. Was a pandemic no certainly no borders just lying to nationalities. You. Know so much we told the truth be we dont have the facts in the whole world needs to be. Judged as commentary crisis with this system to. We can do better we should. Everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been much so many good people are helping us. It makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. As election day approaches there are growing concerns whether the outcome will be contested whether the election will be in egypt we are told this election truly matters were always told this however this time around theres a different feel theres an x. Especially on the t. V. Just election how many voters will say not my president after november 3rd. The u. S. Economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. You can work 40 hours a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still has the lead up to the reality of it is that were not financially equality and the lack of Affordable Housing for a living minimum wage gave many people no choice but to just been a problem with the city knows turn around and told me stay away i dont miss. The food the food is lower its because of the records resource the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible cops. And. My newest cyclists see. This is jack see what i dont see its a. Bit older you know if. I know weve got. 2 cars. Moving you can. See scoots parts and i use down cities to make it a date easier you know foods new school on drugs used to office. People. Who sued for the School Clothes because who comes during his child who gets the life of a music. Who dies because he makes me. She dies because the beaks mean. Playing. And when you go to take it you are now seen. As the only spot on my ass and not so darn. This is boom bust one business show you cant afford to miss in washington coming up lawmakers in the u. S. Are preparing a fresh round of hope and i can relief as the economy faces the greatest challenge in decades straight ahead were going to take a look at the state of stimulus talks and how the nation stacks up against others and the later we break down the economic toll the pandemic has caused on businesses as the u. S. Has seen record at retail closures with a packed show today lets dive right in. And we lead the program here in the United States is House Democrats have released a 2. 00 trillion dollar coronavirus alif package which they claim would restore 600. 00 weekly jobless benefits and provide another round of stimulus checks to most americans now the plan released monday evening is a last ditch effort to revive stalled stimulus talks with the white house Many Republican and democratic lawmakers have pushed for another round of economic stimulus for months but have remained far apart on the amount necessary to combat the pandemic so lets waste no time and bring in to discuss thank you both for being here but i want to get right to you here since lawmakers from both sides have been saying for months. That another round of stimulus is needed why are they so far apart on the details. Is the cost of this whole thing i mean democrats of come down a little bit this latest bill that they put forth about 2. 00 trillion dollars thats about a trillion dollars less than where they had been so theres some compromise there hard to believe that 2. 4 trillion is a compromise but lets take a look at some of the things they want to do here because obviously this includes as you said a new round of 600. 00 stimulus checks but on top of those that new out of 600. 00 stimulus checks comes another round of 1200. 00 stimulus checks for each american plus 2400. 00 if it is a married couple its also going to give about close to 500000000. 00 in relief to local governments thats state and city governments also a 2nd round of those p. P. P. Loans and actually it would expand the number of businesses that can actually apply for the p. P. P. Loans on top of that theyre also looking at an issue with the airlines they want to get more relief to the airlines as well that would be on its way in this bill as well as education cost
