So the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service has released a statement a memo and at 1st they just issue a general concern for the well being of the citizens of the disputed region of nagornokarabakh and they also released a call to both sides to stop the fight he immediately saying that a full blown war in the region is well and acceptable but when it gets interesting is when then they talk about hundreds and perhaps even thousands of syrian fighters on the front lines of nagornokarabakh even gave the names of the groups which came here which came to this disputed region to take part in the war have a listen according to the information that is available to Russias Foreign Intelligence Service mercenaries from warring intern.

Well its important to underline that the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service did not specify which side these mercenaries are fighting on although there have been mounting reports and sort of an International Consensus that it is turkey that is helping azerbaijan hire these militants and then ship them to the frontline of nagornokarabakh while in fact meaning as accused deserved by john of doing this as well but its one of the aspects of this conflict you have to understand that well both sides that use each other over a lot of things and then later deny the accusations of the other side this is an example of such each of such a situation for instance as they are by john has said that there are no foreign fighters in in its ranks and in fact in turn accused armenia over. Firing for in soldiers so its a murky situation at least also this comes to the tune of the foreign minister of turkey saying announcing that ankara is ready to work with more school on resolving this crisis and bringing decides to make it to the negotiating table i will be bringing you more as i learn it. He goes on over there well as the fighting continues dozens of civilians have been killed on both sides parts of the disputed region have been left severely damaged while humanitarian groups have raised the alarm over the level of violence and the number of civilian casualties the situations also tense in areas near the contested region as a by john government claims the countrys 2nd largest city came under fire on monday this is video of a market that was shelled according to his aerial storage fees amenia though denies that its fired on by john territory meanwhile as areas outside the conflict zone doing all they can to help their forces a local reporter said more details from the capital.

Despite trump claiming that people shouldnt be afraid of the virus cove it is still taking a significant toll on the United States schools have been closed again in a number of new york neighborhoods where cases a surging one small. My number one concern has always been schools i would not send my child to a school in a hotspot cluster that has not been tested were going to close the schools in those areas tomorrow. The u. S. As a whole remains the pandemics global hot spot on friday new infections had a 2 month record with more than 54000. 00 cases the highest daily tally since mid august we got reaction from people in new york about the latest decision to close schools. Why was people at mills closed there is no great optically what was my sons school which is actually do want to toy with out loud to the loss of its proceeds to the students ability that theyre going to make it. Somewhat discouraging at the same time or. Whatever whatever needs to be done theyre doing it you know that the school particulars are kind of opens be looking at why new york is once again facing a spike in cases. The rate of infection in new york city is rising once again the highest numbers weve seen sense back in may so who is to blame for this well new york state Governor Andrew Cuomo says the buck stops with local officials. Say go over effective enforcement for every jurisdiction for local jurisdiction cannot or will perform effective enforcement violating entities notify the states and to close all Business Activity in hotspots where local governments come to comply now cuomo said words have led to allegations of hypocrisy hes criticizing local officials for not doing what he has recommended well back earlier during the pandemic he was criticized for not doing what federal officials recommended i dont believe that any federal administration could be serious about physical lock downs of states or parts of states across this country i dont believe its legal i think it would be economic chaos the decision around nursing home with Governor Cuomo decreeing that co that 19 patients should be sent there at a pretty big impact many have not forgotten what they see is a pretty big misjudgment that cost many lives there is something disgusting that democrats are doing that joe biden does and that you do which is you try to blame the people whove lost their lives on your political enemies was it a mistake when your brother implemented a policy that Nursing Homes had to accept coded positive patients and endangered the lives of my brother was the 1st one to say the state was there was a learning cuomo has also faced criticism for allowing black lives matter protests to take place despite talking up the risks are talking about reopening in one week in new york city. And now were seeing these methods maersk. Yeah that rings over the past several minutes that could in fact exacerbate the covert 9 team spirit now despite his policy differences with the white house new york state Governor Andrew Cuomo sent his best wishes to President Donald Trump when he got coded 19 that is unlike new york citys mayor bill de blasio who saw it as an opportunity to take the president to task i think its another reminder of why what some of us have been saying is right where masks practice social distancing and take it seriously this president obviously didnt do it and paid the price party lines power and position mean nothing to the coronavirus everyone is at risk now new york Governor Andrew Cuomo admits the leaders of the state have made some pretty big mistakes along the way however he still wants everyone to believe that he is the guy to lead us through the crisis well andrew cuomo is a leading figure within the Democratic Party the Democratic Partys strategy. During this 2020 a lecture and has to run again in his trumpet and to run against coded new york has had the worst record in his handling. Of it in the country i mean you said the worst. Case death rate statistics and little was fraid of the incidence of govt in the country because much of the media in the United States is entirely in coots with the Democratic Party cuomo hasnt suffered any consequences on that so yes its hypocritical but he can get away with it hes going to blame in the go with trump and pose as the hero who somehow save new york at the same time in the media and watch and allow him to get away with it and across the atlantic theres been a major embarrassment in britains efforts to combat code it often. 16000 positive test results from england vanished from the National Tracing System hampering efforts to find people whove been in contact with infected individuals thousands of people blissfully unaware that theyve been exposed to cove it potentially spreading this deadly virus a time when hospital admissions are increasing and where in the 2nd wave the error occurred at the end of last month data fail to transfer from labs to an x.

H.
