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 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 cause me to say that hes fine and thats it it doesnt happen often but once in 23 days alone 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 we all have kids serving i can ringback 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 the child no mother knowing there is currently a war in the car in a car but it will call me rest her head and 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 were not scared and my child was not afraid that he was going into the army.

Diplomatic efforts to help continue russian president Vladimir Putin has called for an end to hostilities in the conflict zone on humanitarian grounds he made that appeal during phone calls with doesnt johns president the armenian Prime Minister and you trying to reports from. The Foreign Ministers of both those are by john and armine have been invited to the russian capital for peace talks that are supposed to be mediated by foreign minister Sergey Lavrov and that is after the russian president spent hours on the phone with the leaders of both by john and armenia which makes us understand that some kind of 1st steps some kind of agreement have already been made i can tell you that late on thursday a statement by Vladimir Putin appeared on the kremlin website with a strong message for all saw its they must suspend all hostilities for humanitarian reasons to allow a Prisoner Exchange and also a swap of bodies of those killed in the conflict a conflict that Vladimir Putin has already called a true tragedy for 2 nations that are very close to russia although the question is whether armenia and azerbaijan are really ready for an immediate proper ceasefire appears to be greater should not be one sign to get. At her and said weve had ceasefire starting from 1900 who are under negotiations continued what he did as a result of what john is committed to the peaceful solution but what we see is that armenia is continued publication likewise a little earlier we heard from the armenian Prime Minister nicole posturing on who said that. Is ready to make concessions but all if john decides to you. Take steps towards peace. Should be resumed mutual concessions. As of. The last 2 weeks have already proved to be. The. Crisis in decades and another place where it will surely be discussed on friday is the russian Prime Minister is on the way to the armenian capital we know that this is a planned meeting post soviet eurasian integration blog and russia and armenia are both part of it but of course the latest escalation will be talked about as the Prime Ministers of russia and armenia get together here in the armenian capital. In berlin this morning clashes the police have faced off with left wing demonstrators as authorities move into a victim iconic squatters protest. I i i i i i. I. I. I i i the eviction process is under way of the feminist housing collective life big 34 its named after the street which im talking to you from the building itself around 200 meters is just behind me police put a cordon around it called the red zone in which theyre not letting anybody get close to being described as the end of an era the eviction over one of the last left wing autonomous squads in the german capital the lease on this particular building that the group had expired 2 years ago in the Berlin District Court said that the building needed to be returned to its owner a part of it says the 68 year old property mogul here. Illegally this is all over you wouldnt think it though from the protesters that have come out to show support and from the people who remain inside the building saying they arent going to leave the demonstrators that have come out and directed a lot of their anger at my Property Developers like miss the part of its us that takes the owner has a history of treating them around he provides properties for the a. F. D. Party here teleosts houses fall apart and explains the workers on the construction sites we cannot accept all that we dont want to let the tenants be oppressed by someone who only has profit in mind and who is not interest and the wellbeing of their residents are seated at the beach and there is a Huge Police Presence here carrying out this of the chin and they were telling us around 3000. 00 Police Officers i would say thats perhaps probably a conservative estimate some of those places that weve seen in full riot gear wearing balaclavas covering their faces also like vehicles that have been brought into the area just behind me vehicles that they would be able to get up to high windows in order to. Take people and their belongings out of the squad weve heard from those that represent the police and they say that equipment and those vehicles are necessary and that Police Officers have become targets what is school is that Police Officers not being seen as human beings and hence it is being deemed legitimate to attack them and use violence against them this is something that and a democratically minded person can and must condemn many years ago then mayor of burlington said that the german capital was poor but sexy it still doesnt have the money of say german cities like munich but what it does have is some of the fastest rising property prices in all of europe and ultimately thats what were seeing play out here. Sudan one of the poorest nations in the world which has seen years of political turmoil now has major floods on its hands tough to deal with 2 disaster struck in Early September but the consequences are still being acutely felt in 16 other countries 18 regions authorities have put in place a 3 month long state of emergency. Or rather i doubt the water has destroyed all of our House Furniture and belongings we were a little lost in the flood of being evacuated from our homes to safer places several houses were in time its truly we managed to save some 30 because the rest mistakingly through into. Some people are living now under a tree we dont have anything left and children live on the trees theres no place to shelter us and the village is still submerged in water were building a hoss out of wood and plastic sheets to shelter ourselves and our families until things get back. To city hall say on a friday morning from moscow with me kevin oh and this is ahead election day creeping closer in the u. S. So that new poll showing americans think more violence is potentially just around the corner overly gloomy all right on the button the law gets give us their latest thoughts on it when were back. With election day looming its important to try this change the g. O. P. If at all is there such a thing as trump is the political in established in the weeds understand why the bucket in the 1st one is just populism on the right the future. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation community. Are you going the right way or are you being. What is true what is. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us and adapt. Already made in the shallows. Again french president to mccraw as a new plan then to teach arabic in the Country School the city says its a way of combating extremism rather than teaching 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 left and the right in france our correspondent has got the details. On the plans announced by president korn france is fighting back against separatism and 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 going 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 the 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 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 with these 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 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 more theres nothing wrong with teaching in school what purpose i think is a political message i think thats where all the french are against this. Today i mean if we dont want to be around the bush integration if we want to help communities trying to go live together. And wish is one of the best instruments which can be used to get people around to get along so goes a little but 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 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. No shows president ial debates no even less likely to happen after the commission on president ial debates and refused to trump teams request to hold it live face to face you say youre not going to protest ok you know im not going to waste great drama literature will debate thats not what the buildings are all about you sit behind a computer and do a debate its ridiculous and then they cut you off whenever they want. Trumps Team Proposed the next debate plan for thursday talked over the 20 night bidens advisors though refuse to accept that option democrats free time want to kick trump out of office based on his health this thursday Speaker Pelosi hinted democrats would look into the 25th amendment to oust the president if he becomes incapacitated its the president s cabinet including the Vice President to muster the nizhni declare him and think it not congress so as the debate is hanging by a thread a new poll out Shows Growing fears over where the election will lead more than half of respondents say they believe violence will increase over novembers result people expect to see riots looting and cities in flames may be at the same time just under 2 thirds fear the country could be on the verge of civil war so is the gloom justified mccauley call 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 course or 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 for years the coals for action from disgruntled groups a louder than calls for calm and its a joke at all 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 dont 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 who are deaf aeration the 4th riot people america has indeed as divided stratified and polarized d as ever right wing violent elements are certainly ready at the beck and call of the trumps of science 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. 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 this pandemic insurance is not taking this seriously showpiece prioritised 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 or at our jobs when he was still contagious we called it trying to downplay 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 has been a politicization of a medical problem in the United States and its ironic that the democrats when trump are not taking it seriously enough but at the same time the blame from for messing up the economy what he tried to shut things down so you really you know if you pay a when when you politicize medical situation like this. And aside from the president ial debate being to read by the pandemic new law is in new york city wrangling religious communities thats our next report. With covert numbers rising in new york city once again andrew cuomo the governor is bringing the hammer down religious places of worship and schools are now closing now that sounds like common sense but religious communities are giving him quite a bit of backlash here is why i mean yes. I was we were Orthodox Jews say they are being singled out they have taken to the streets to protest and they say they are planning a legal action against Governor Cuomo i hope we can avoid it but as i said before if that we dont make any progress and were left with what we are now we would. Probably ask courts to issue a temporary restraining order until we can figure this all the while the Orthodox Jews say theyve been singled out the Roman Catholic community is also quite upset the high ranking this ship from the Roman Catholic church is speaking up catholic churches in brooklyn queens have not had any coded outbreak so significant cases since reopening on july the 5th to 25 percent capacity we fervently objects to being told to for that reduced capacity because we have strictly a did to cope with 19 protocols and the Safety Measures have been working now the parents of children who attend Roman Catholic schools are also objecting they say that cuomo should punish the guilty close down the schools where covert is spreading but not blanket shutdown all educational institutions Governor Cuomo appears to be losing patience with those who complain about his wrist strict sions we have to close the temple because its over 50 percent ill do it we have to close a Roman Catholic church ill do it i had to close the st patricks day parade i did it. Now the government is not supposed to interfere with people freely practicing their religion except in very dire circumstances now Governor Cuomo and many others would argue that a Global Pandemic is exactly that however many catholics and jewish people disagree who will win now we shall see. New york. Go this morning is a bit of breaking news to tell you about diplomacy from the go to occur but conflict all media is about confirming participation in talks. To mediate those talks with the 2 nations Foreign Ministers who due to arrive in the russian capital friday later today its off the russian president Vladimir Putin called for an end to hostilities on humanitarian grounds he made. A phone calls with the president of us about john of the armenian Prime Minister or big news well be following up throughout the day for now though from that same. Column visionaries may Sophie Shevardnadze social media once created to bring millions of people together to control what we think and how we leave without ask even. Im joined today by tim kandel former facebook director of munches ation expresident of contrasts and the c. E. O. Of moment. Tim kandel former director of lynchs ation former president of contrasts and the moment after great to have you with us and i have so many questions for you where do we start. Right so obviously during this pandemic radar screen time on social media is way do you think that this increase in usage will be permanent. Or are we going to sort of when else once were allowed to freely around again. Its hard to argue predict the future. I mean i think that weve seen a surge during the korean team during this pandemic because people dont have alternatives right they can they dont leave their houses off and theyre clearly not nearly as social as they as they used to be and that by social i mean physically social like going over to each others houses or meeting up places. So i guess im optimistic that i think that it will it will reduce to some degree once once once we get through this craziness of corn teaming so this is social dilemma documentary which is dedicated to the threat that is social media says that internet
