Warn of a pollution disaster in russias far east as a probe is launched into toxic chemicals killing sea life. Or broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this International Thomas certainly glad to have you with us as we recap the weeks top stories with our Weekly Program and we start with the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan which has entered a 2nd week the disputed region of. Being relentlessly shelled these are some of the latest pictures from the local capital showing burning cars residential buildings have been hit across the city and the number of casualties is so far unclear earlier in the week a hospital was hit in an airstrike several residential buildings were also badly damaged hostilities are now expanding beyond the disputed territory with several towns. John bombed the city of ganja came under fire earlier on sunday claims one person was killed and 32 wounded on friday the town of todd was also attacked who claims thousands of shells were used in that raid since the start of the conflict azerbaijan says 24 civilians have been killed and over 100 people injured. As 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 the 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 of thirtys came out looking at colleges and said look if as if by john doesnt stop us with with shells multiple rocket launches 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 u. S. And 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 fox said but Populated Areas civilian areas turkey has come out very strongly against this kind of bucks strike on ganja theyre blaming this on armenians and saying that this was essentially a crowd amenia 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 gunn john why do done so many of violate so 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 territory of armenia. More than that says that it will respond in a powerful magnet to any provocation from any side so if anything is targeted in armenia 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 say 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 john all in all the seas a very significant escalation because obviously armenia itself has a defense pact with russia so if any 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 did it by john it 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 about john so indeed events are developing along a very worrying trajectory the conflict are ignited last sunday but it has roots stretching back over 3 decades broke away from us about john in 1988 but the area has not been widely recognized as a sovereign state. On monday we have only one condition that armenia leaves our lands completely and immediately. 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 bug or 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 capital here is r. T. If youve got stuff. 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 what 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 as there by journeys 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 in the armenian capital there has been an outpouring of support for those trapped in the conflict zone people are collecting donations of food clothes and other supplies to send the region quite a block is inhabited almost entirely by armenians and many have been left homeless by the ongoing military bombardment we talked to some of the volunteers and yet of on. Because i ask of someone types of a this is a pew was a bill an 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 oh but the most people is just the spirit of our people cannot be broken we are all united everyone has their personal grievances against the government or anyone else behind them. Journalists. Are getting caught in the crossfire as well 4 injured were injured in a shell strike on wednesday including 2 french reporters they were airlifted out of on for treatment and are now back in france and on thursday a cameraman from an armenian t. V. Channel was really injured during shelling these are pictures of his car earlier my colleague you know neal spoke to us all of a journalist from in azerbaijan the t. V. Channel he described the damage on the very side of the border. We have seen destroyed houses destroyed ambulances destroyed infrastructures that people from their civil population people that had nothing to do with their actions refused to leave their house and refused to leave their region armenians are accusing azerbaijan of targeting civilians we knew civilians have lost their lives in this conflict is that what is happening if theyre talking about armenian site thats a complete nonsense the military command over there by gently clear that other by janet army does not target civilian people as well as the really interesting infrastructure the targets of the other biogen army are firing positions mutes or if its the way it is and we know what their infrastructure is in the local why it was there by john 5 doesnt fight against civilians other by john is fighting for liberation its all territories. Donald trump is in the hospital for a 3rd day after contracting covert 19 aside from Health Concerns the u. S. President s condition has put election plans into disarray including the 2nd round of debate with rival joe biden this weeks 1st clash was a chaotic affair marred by interruptions and insults are quarter discussed how it went. 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 ever use that word because you know what theres nothing smart about you joe what do you she was 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 sort of but he does plenty well less than hes just shush for a minute why do you do it over again in the last 25 years not because im going to do it because you are president things up you are a senator and the worst were as always america is ever. Going. 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 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 evil who. He are you races the way 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 of 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 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 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. To me that i dont think either one of them respected none of the other. 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 theyre their guy won the debate everyday voters are really kind of taking a sort of id rather laugh than cry approach. And. We asked former republican state senator john loudon and International Affairs expert Sophia Mclennan for their thoughts on the 1st debate. Theres little doubt that trump lost his composure as he was repeatedly interrupting and. Seemed overly emotional and somewhat hysterical i was disappointed to see it in decide to sort out stoop to that kind of behavior he tends to be very dismissive been to bully and in fact name call its certainly not president ial its not the kind of behavior that you really want to see in a candidate match or anybody watching had their minds changed except that i did 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. Rushs environmental regulators are investigating a spike in sea pollution in the countrys far east problem was detected off the coast of kentucky the editor in chief of the russia beyond online magazine visited the area and spoke to us. Im currently in the polls and im just a couple of them just to reach there isnt that a logical disaster that you ought to see between just reading the one person away from the sea i spent 4 hours on the collectivists the beach and i didnt see any water all 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 feet and they come through that they felt some unpleasant odor and it will be left weekly ive seen some death fish on the sure and some dead shellfish but not in the amounts like youve probably seen on some user b. D. s like they were a little bit scattered around the beach their real life selected that piece there but not like files that sea lion stuff like that idea see any big sea anymore ive talked to some sort of 1st bull locals and visitors and they confirmed that its socked in wasnt good water and ice 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 so definitely 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. Because governor is overseeing the probe and the samples are being sent to moscow for analysis he has warned that any officials who neglected the issue will face consequences. Were 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 want 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 sediments 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. Theres no sign of a let up in the postelection unrest sweeping dello russo crowds gathered in minsk throughout sunday 8 weeks after president lukashenko was reelected in a disputed ballot at least 40 people were arrested at one point riot police used a water cannon truck to target the demonstrators who fought back damaging that vehicle there was a heavy security presence throughout the capital and 8 subway stations were shut down for several hours as well the march went ahead without official permission it follows almost 2 months of public calls for president lukashenko to resign earlier this week the European Union passed sanctions on 40 below russian officials over claims of election rigging and violence against protesters responded by blacklisting european officials. The f. B. I. Has released a short film demonstrating the dangers of chinese intelligence recruitment propaganda style video reminded many of the methods used by the us and the u. S. S. R. During the cold war. Except the story for us. 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. To 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 and 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 neutralize 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 trying. To buy. Russia had occupied many New Territories bringing additional millions of people under communist control. For example only makes. Bridge American River road worker makes 10. 00 a day. Whos to say the chinese cant strike back theyve got hollywood scenes of their own the. Really awful what happens when a. Little one of them out on the loose on the line to do a little truth with them. Just listen to yourself and 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 is the foreign minister suggested its not just our writings saying that is this a new cold war weve heard for example u. K. Officials are china and 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 we must do every scene for the new cold war. We are moving in a very dangerous direction. Own world cannot afford the future lead to too much as the Economy Speed the globe in a great fraction each with its own freedoms financial rules and the internet and not official 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 we spoke to politics Professor JosephGregory Mahoney who says the u. S. China cold war is already upon us. If we if we follow reports of majority opinions among Business Leaders and policymakers 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 and 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 that is for mail back with one more look at your weekly in about 35 minutes stay with us this is our international. Oh so he draws in conflict no news no go to the court is no very hot we tell you what you need to know and its america in 2020 acting on similar events as the bolshevik revolution in 1007. Always be polite never engage with a negative a good or confrontational. Dont get into any conversation or start answering questions just ask. Youre more likely to walk free if youre rich. Or if youre poor. You got 2 eyes and one mouth. So you should be seen here and a whole lot more in your sand if you dont take that advice easy going to dig yourself a little. Time here were going underground 48 hours before u. S. Vice president mike pence debates with democrat contender and former california Death Penalty defender. In utah coming up on the show will pence harris attract as much disbelief as trump. Is taking sound as the board has grown to know obamas Vice President is on the record for refusing to support the new green deal in characterizing racist american policing as a few bad apples to black lives matters rage on the streets of the usa and from politics to pandemics we explore how materialism and capitalism abroad species close to extinction and how we can change it collectively with one of the greatest surrealist film makers of all time. All of them all coming up in todays going underground to fast away from the Mainstream Media when isnt loses speculation on the right. President ial debate in 48 hours time is the real loser progressive politics in the usa especially now biden said he didnt support a new green deal and claims a country infamous for imprisoning more per capita than stalin or mao has a policing system with a few bad apples not institutional racism today the trumpet ministration terminates the us 2020 census and one comedian activist who has fought for sentence reform and Bernie Sanders is a palestinian american comedian. Thanks so much for coming on so even though were looking forward to the v. P. Debate im going to ask you what did you think of the great show of democracy in ohio last week where are your top politicians and in your country debated the issues of the day yeah i mean it wasnt very promising or exciting if youre an american whos interested in democracy i mean look it was chaotic and probably a lot of that helps donald trump i mean the chaos is something that he looks forward to because talking about actual policies doesnt help him and biden didnt do a great job i think either i think the biggest sort of losers in this debate were progressives when biden says as a centrist who still is subject to a lot of criticism from the left when he says that donald trump sort of reassuring Many Americans that he said i am the Democratic Party thats not something that progressives like to hear the Republican Party has outperformed its Popular Support over the years because its always appealed to its base and look for ways to expand right words and the Democratic Party hasnt looked at the how to expand the left word instead it always focuses on the center and thats always very muddy and loses a lot of the Council Support from the left a lot of the commentators the prodemocrat commentators said biden did well by not losing arguably but on the progressive issues that you mentioned given that harris. Has expressed support previously for the Green New Deal and the world has seen the pictures of the wildfires in the United States the Climate Crisis being arguably the existential threat to the earth how is she going to triangulate the position of not supporting the Green New Deal on wednesday well unfortunately the whole Biden Harris Campaign and biden from the beginning and now paris since shes jumped on i mean lets not forget she supported the Green New Deal that she did and she supported medicare for all and then she didnt you know this whole campaign from the democrats has been predicated on appealing to this sort of middle of the road and i think sort of imaginary independent voter which you know has sort of reliably voted republican over the last few cycles why did obama win decisively twice because despite his shortcomings in actual policy he campaigned to the left he campaigned to progressivism and hope and change in these kinds of things by is not doing that at all
