Pandemic the role that repressive measures against its people. Here in moscow thanks for joining us on our team tonight. Both flat out rejected calls for a ceasefire peace talks still it is over a disputed border territory and a 5th day here the latest Images Released by azerbaijan they show the destruction of Armenian Military vehicles in the nagornokarabakh region both sides released a string of videos to back up their individual claims of military conquest. As in the heart of the conflict zone and reports now on the impact of these are having on local communities. Nagorno karabakh is sandwiched between the territorial ambitions of armenia and azerbaijan 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 front line is about 5 to 7 kilometers that way and thereby 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 what you what youre hearing right now is them firing in fact we could hear just minutes ago a u. S. V and sometimes even see it as it was making circles above us it was not an armenian it was an affair by johnny one so this is one of the places where it is as hot 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. And well im being told its about 160. 00 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 they are now completely gone both sides are ready to fight to the bush rend both sides have 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 go to our box one of several border disputes remaining from the collapse of the soviet Union Republic seceded from us a by john in 1808. 00 and declared itself independent of the enclave predominantly populated by armenians isnt widely recognized as an independent state turkey for its part expressed on support for us or by john in the conflict by says this supports the limited to the diplomatic level here of un alleges the Turkish Air Force is involved with more on the escalation heres our Senior Correspondent right because the of 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 and 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 and 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 this is fairly if the armenian government complies with this the fighting will stop there will be no bloodshed there will be peace and peace will come to our region. I believe the Armenian Army can secure a country in the selfdefense forces of the Golden Corral bark or successfully protecting their regional from a political standpoint i believe its very important for us that International Partners know how and who started this military action. One of the one of this rhetoric though it is in stark contrast to what ordinary people think here in istanbul and it out of mean you. People know off the so many years of escalations of flare ups that peace doesnt come through war medical needs more poverty 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 negotiations not force. And i dont like what is happening many people i know are now going to the front line we dont want blood to be shed we want everything to end peacefully but i am afraid there is no chance to talk about peace at the moment we must reclaim our lands and. World. I fought in the 1st war and in 2016 of you dont now a days people go to the front lines today and when the shelling comes down then we would be needed then we used to it this is our homeland 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 president of carabao has warned his citizens the people of calabar to prepare for a prolonged war and the set about johnnys side has as we mentioned earlier obviously set its path and that path is to reclaim carabaos by force russias among the countries that surging in the media to cease sation on postal ities and schools a warning about the possible involvement of foreign extremists aunties and paternity takes a closer look. 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 ities 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 as their big john handed over the air command of offensive operations against the in the ground car back to the Turkish Air Forces the air force is being operated under their most command and control of the turkish station but its a turkeys giving us moral support and were grateful to the turkish government and turkish people for solidarity and standing by her side there is no other role turkeys taking into the conflict the role of anchor all in all this has 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 by john immediately and even threat. 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 a statement the Russian Diplomats arent blaming anyone for the things that are causing concern at this point. My colleague in an eel spoke earlier with a political analyst who focuses on the region he says that the situations more complex than it 1st looks. There are Many Organizations not probably i dont think it is real be bodies me the or dorky me there of little but general revealed to me that it is mainly i suppose the initiative belongs to certain Financial Firms and slumming Financial Firms related to the muslim presence in another 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 ally well you should understand the situation be thrown the chair of the gun was shaken out too many forces inside or you would include the gun party now wanting to replace him and hes fighting for the police so if the military fortune would be on a sort of bridge on the side at the gun would get the glory of. Conqueror over there are many and sly comes to fuck him a lot that you would cause a big greek conqueror so that is if military for too sure are all those little bit jennies but if it means we have begun to lose nothing because. Bt but its not about genocide we have noted relations. Missed internationals issued a damning reports that condemns the french governments brutal crackdown on protestors and also alleges the pandemics being exploited to bring in repressive measures the more his shall a deeper scheme. 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 barrel or 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 protest 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 amnesty 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 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 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. Eyes 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 with the french government to respond to these charges so far no comment you awful develop french rights defender says the way protesters have been treated has undermined trust. The french government. To repress the protest vote to youre asked to call them do you know best the president micro used the police. Very strong strength to to stop the protest using force which was not necessary but in fact he was using force to tempt the people stay home to protest in the street they were not. There or delinquent people they were just upset of the leaving of the level of living in france i think the people are. In their skin theyre hurting their soul and there is no accounting lets not trust president and i think its going to be very hard to lead to. These 2 years before the new president ial election there is a mix up trust of not i think from from the french people. But its but says hes ready to unleash more and covert rules it seems confused about the long as hes already.

In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation in the community. Are you going the right way or are you being. Direct. What is true what is fake. In a world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the death. Or a mate in the shallowest. Case as its poised to impose tougher and take over measures as the infection right there spirals with more than 7000. 00 infections registered in 24 hours that 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 not. When we can go the Prime MinisterBoris Johnson brought in a 10 pm curfew for pubs bars and restaurants in england similar restrictions were introduced in scotland wales along with a 15 person limited weddings u.

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 if 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.
