To roll out repressive measures against its people. Good morning to you and welcome to r. T. International. Armenia and azerbaijan have both flat out rejected calls for a cease fire and ruled out peace talks as hostilities are very disputed border territory and to the 5th day these are the latest images that have been released by azerbaijan they show the destruction of Armenian Military vehicles in the nagornokarabakh region both sides have released a string of videos to back up their claims of military conquest auntie course from the biggest down office in the heart of the conflict zone and reports now on the impact the hostilities are having on local communities. Nagornokarabakh is sandwiched between the 2 are too. And as theyre by john but as commanders in chief are deploying platoon after platoon to the frontline its often civilians who end up in the crossfire on both sides or in a small town in the disputed nagornokarabakh region the frontline is about 5 to 7 kilometers that way and is there but johnny shell flew from over there and made this crater and well there was a bus staying right here has already been cleared the debris and it was bustling with people as a result because of the strike this strike killed 2 people and 5 more were wounded all of them civilians this is no military complex its just a building just a house were live in in fact im being told that these these areas are being shelled relentlessly even though the closest military position is about 3 to 4 kilometers away that way but what youre hearing right now is them firing in fact we could hear just minutes ago a d u. S. V and sometimes even see it as it was making circles above us it was not in armenia and it was in azerbaijan one so this is one of the places where it is as hoarse as it gets in the going to care about their own many places that have it worse than the town of martini within the 60 minutes that we were filming there we had artillery infantry drones all of them had their deadly say. You would. Air raid sirens and the buzz of drones have become the terrifying soundtrack to this war in the gorn a cab back and this frontline town his enduring booms all calibers this is whats left of the round that fell and his backyard its really heavy and well im being told its about 100. 60 millimeters in caliber which makes it a truly formidable project and you can see the amount of damage that it did here for instance here used to be the gates well theyre now completely gone both sides are ready to fight to the bush rend both sides of the fervid support of their populations sharing an underlying belief that its them fighting for the right cause and not the enemy with all the horrors that have already haunted this land this war shows that the youll grievances have only deepened and weve done of reporting from the ground a care about r. T. And going to care about is one of several border disputes remaining from the collapse of the soviet union the republic seceded from azerbaijan back in 1908 and declared itself independent but the enclave predominantly populated by armenians isnt widely recognized as an independent state. Turkey for its part has expressed strong support for azerbaijan in this conflict says that this supports limited to the diplomatic level get of and alleges that the Turkish Air Force is getting involved too with all this collection heres our Senior Correspondent ryan reporting from istanbul. Well theres been absolutely no lol in the fighting continued overnight raged i would say every few hours were also seeing casualty numbers both military and civilian spyro and it seems to be getting worse and worse so the escalation seems to be escalating itself and this is all despite tremendous diplomatic pressure for both sides to take a pause to take a break to anything you know give talks the charts despite everything the International Community is doing the violence seems to be getting worse. We have only one condition that armenia leaves our lands completely and immediately that this is fairly 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 youre the. I believe the Armenian Army can secure countries in the selfdefense forces of the Golden Corral bark or successfully protect and their region from a political standpoint i believe its very important for us that International Partners know how and who started this military action. Would have the will of this rhetoric though it is a stark contrast to what ordinary people think here it is the get it out of mean you. People know off the so many years of escalations of flare ups that peace doesnt come through war and medical needs as an armenian i do not want to talk about who is right or wrong but i would like those issues to be resolved through negotiation not force. Peace the i dont like what is happening many people i know more and im going to the front we dont want blood to measure we want everything to end peaceful but i am afraid there is no chance to talk about peace at the moment we must reclaim our lands and. World. Most of all in the 1st war and in 26 the most you dont nowadays people go to the front lines to them when the shelling down they will be needed we used to this is offering money and if we have nowhere to go the losses booth sides suffering though we cant verify everything thats impossible for now tremendous so the perhaps the sheer magnitude of what is happening will force both sides to take a pause and to reconsider the approach that theyre both taking but for now that seems a dim concept because the the president of care about this war and his citizens the people of care about to prepare for a prolonged war in the eyes that are by johnny side as we mentioned earlier obviously set its path and that path is to reclaim carabaos by force well russia is among the countries that surging an immediate cessation of hostilities moscow is also warning about the possible involvement of for an extremist in the conflict on easily be trying to looks at the threat. So the issue of foreign mercenaries from outside the region being moved into the conflict zone in the gorn a car back it was 1st armenia that kept pointing out these concerns but now is the time when for the 1st time the russian side began to address this threat heres exactly what the Foreign Ministry statement said according to the information we have received militants from illegal armed groups have been transferred to the nagornokarabakh conflict zone from syria in libya to take part in the still it is we call on the leaders of the countries involved to take active measures to prevent the deployment of Foreign Terrorists a masterpiece in the conflict and to ensure their immediate withdrawal from the region so in this particular case and its very important moscow is not pointing the fingers at any of the sides for being behind this but like i said when youre yvonne began talking about alien fighters in the region they started blaming turkey right away in fact the armenian side was blaming turkey from the very beginning for provoking this call flick now in an interview to the Russian Media both leaders of armenia and azerbaijan addressed this specific issue and heres exactly what they had to say by in their haste through 3 turkish Warfare Instructors and high ranking personnel a currently at command posts in azerbaijan turkey is a closer british mercenary to syria and taking them to azerbaijan to fight in a war against nagornokarabakh and amelia turkey is giving us 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 taking into the conflict the role of anchor all in all this has 3 been the focus of speculation and debate for a long time now because unlike many Important International players which called for a peaceful settlement of the crisis from the very beginning and which didnt take sides turkey. Decided to back there by john immediately and even threaten to send its military there now thats something that wasnt welcomed by the russian side at all which at this point has very good relations with ankara all this comes amid reports in the media that Syrian Rebels backed by turkey could be getting ready to be moved to the nagornokarabakh region or are already on the way but these are just reports for now and again id just like to point out that in its statement the Russian Diplomats arent blaming anyone for things that are causing concern at this point. My colleague in an email spoke earlier with a political analyst who focuses on the region and who said that the situation is more complicated than 1st appear is it a minute of good news each month to believe i dont think it is real will be. Me the dorky me there of sort of a general or even the mood because mainly on him i suppose we initiate you belongs to certain Financial Firms and slumming Financial Firms related to the muslim presence in america the meaning of the. Weve seen over the last number of days some statements of support from for us about how far do you think turkey is willing to go to help its allies well you should understand the situation be thrown the chair of the gun the shaken out too many forces inside. Of the gun. Party are now wanting to replace him and hes fighting for you please so if the media prove torchwood be on a sort of bridge on the side of the gun to get the glory or for. Konqueror over there me and slike stuff accumulate that you will cause a big greek conqueror so that is if military for sure are on a suitable journeys but if it means we have begun to lose nothing because of its beauty but its is a jerk but is it about genocide we have no relations. I missed international is issued a damning report condemning the french governments brutal crackdown on protesters it also alleges that the pandemic is being exploited to bring in repressive measures theres more his show the devinsky. Amnesty international doesnt hold back in this report accusing authorities of using oppressive laws in the period pre and post the code 19 locked down thousands have been arbitrarily fined arrested detained and prosecuted for peaceful activities which should not be considered defenses peaceful protests have been banned under draconian kovan 1000 powers and hundreds of protesters find the report says that despite the covert lockdown ending in may a all public gatherings of more than 10 people remained in force it claims that this was disproportionate given that other launch gatherings in open spaces were permitted yet even though it was deemed illegal protests did take place including ones linked to the black lives Matter Movement was a. Good. Thing was just. The burn was eventually overturned by francis highest Administrative Court but amnesty says that dozens if not hundreds of protesters were fined for participating in small public gatherings over the past few months it says in the cases that it has documented the fines imposed appear to constitute a disproportionate restriction to the right to freedom of Peaceful Assembly that includes the case of eleanor a Health Worker took part in a protest calling for support for the Public Health system they say the Police Stopped eleanor who was alone at the time in front of the Closing Stores are Law Enforcement the fish. Checked eleanors backpack which contained a gas mask and a pair of goggles they told her that she would be fined for participating in the band protests they subsequently arrested her and placed her in a precharge detention for participating in the group with a view to preparing violent acts in 20182019 says that more than 40000 people were convicted on the basis of vague laws the Yellow Vests Movement was hit particularly hard. Was. It was. Was it was. Was. But its not just protesters whove been at the receiving end amongst those detained with 1st aiders human rights observers and journalists we were in plaster republique i was filming the priest cordons there were clashes around the square but not where we were walking we decided to leave and suddenly my friend shouted brice watch out several Police Called me from behind and forced me to the ground they insulted me and asked if i throw projectiles against them i told them that i was a journalist and that i had my student card royce was placed in precharge detention before being told that he would be prosecuted for using violence against Public Officials he was later acquitted amnesty is now calling on the French Parliament to review and to repeal all laws that impose a punishment solely for the exercise. Of the right to Peaceful Assembly it also wants the interior and the Justice Minister is here in france to offer clearer guidance for Law Enforcement officials so that in less someone is carrying a pair of goggles or a face mask and this suspected of being involved in a Violent Crime they are not subject to detention in light of this report amnesty says its ironic that a country with such a long and proud tradition of collective action for social change is criminalizing protest in this way. R. T. Paris we asked the french government to respond to these charges so far no comment from the developer french rights defender says the way protesters have been treated has undermined trust. The french government of the us. Chris to practice for 2 years now to call them do you know best. The president micro used the police. Very strong strength to to stop the protests using force which was not necessary but in fact he was using force to tempt the people stay home dont go by to grow this industry they were not guns there are delinquent people they were just upset of the leaving of the the level of living in france i think the people are hurt. In their skin theyre hurting their soul and there is no accounting lets not trust president and i think hes going to be very hard to lead just. These 2 years before the new president ial election there is a mist of trust of not i think from from the french people. The fun minister says that hes ready to unleash more and take over the room see it seems confused about the ones hes already opposed explain all after the fact. Seems wrong. But i. Just dont call. Me. Yet to ship out just to come at it. And it gets rid of the trail. When somebody find themselves while the fight wait just on the common ground. Well lets talk about tea and crumpets and scoundrels the London Bridge and the. First president ial debate exhibit lots of like not much one can argue neither candidate last night was a perfect reflection of the nations politics with the campaign coming to an end to the debates have any meaningful impact is there such as an undecided vote. The u. K. Says its poised to impose tougher anti covert measures as the infection rate spirals with the above 7000. 00 infections registered in just the last 24 hours there is only one way of doing this and thats by showing a collective forbearance common sense and willingness to make sacrifices for the safety of others and i have to be clear that if the evidence requires it we will not hesitate to take further measures that would im afraid be more costly than the ones we put into effect. When we go the Prime MinisterBoris Johnson brought in a 10 pm curfew for pubs bars and restaurants in england similar restrictions also introduced in scotland wales along with a 15 person limit for weddings the u. K. Government introduced also its rule of 6 meant to simplify and strengthen rules on social gatherings but as a partridge reports now from london it just lead to more confusion. The u. K. Is suffering from covert 19 confusion rising levels of corona virus infections of causing widespread but forment among the public and officials struggling to implement the policies aim to defeat it even the Prime Minister mixed up some jurisdictions its 6 in 6 in the north but ality but as i understand it not success. But Boris Johnson got it wrong and had to tweet an apology apologies i misspoke today in the northeast new rules mean you cannot meet people from different households in social settings indoors including in pubs restaurants and your home you should also avoid socialising with other households outside that couldnt go are mentioned by the Opposition Leader who seized on his rivals gaffe to highlight public confusion about exactly who is supposed to do what of the Prime Minister doesnt understand the rules and his own Council Leaders are complaining about mixed messages how does the Prime Minister expect the rest of the country to understand and follow the rules the Prime Minister is also facing opposition within his own party with some slamming the new measures and especially the hasty implementation through parliament as the death of freedom when youve got a body of lords are at large changing that fast i doubt really anyone understands what that lure is this is not a fair environment for a free people you have people think that liberty dies it dies like this with with government exercising draconian powers without parliamentary scrutiny in advance the authors think the policies dont go far enough one conservative m. P. Thinks the military should oversee any potential mass vaccination and then issue certificates for International Travel i have written to the Prime Minister recommending recommending that he
