A lot of reporting of poisoning him his 1st interview since coming out of a coma. A very warm welcome to the program on this thursday evening at 7 pm here in the russian capital lets get started with your life news update. Armenia and azerbaijan have both rejected calls for a cease fire and ruled out peace talks as hostilities over a disputed border territory and to a 5th day now these are the latest Images Released by azerbaijan showing the destruction of Armenian Military vehicles and the region both sides have a least a string of videos to back up their claims of tactical victories meanwhile local reporters are being caught in the crossfire a camera man from an armenian t. V. Channel was severely injured during the shelling these are pictures of his car 2 french journalists were also injured while covering the conflict and are being treated at the hospital are reports now on the impact 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 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 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 hot as it gets in the going to carry 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 when you move you do this through. An air raid sirens and the buzz of drones have become the terrifying soundtrack to this war in the gorn a cab and this frontline town his enduring booms all calibers this is whats left of the round that fell and his backyard its. Really. 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 theyre now completely gone both sides are ready to fight to the bishop around both sides of the fervent support of the 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 your grievances have only deepened because dawn of reporting from the green a care about to see. Them go in a car is one of several border disputes remaining from the collapse of the soviet union they are broke away from azerbaijan in 1988 and declared itself independent however the enclave loesser populated by armenians is not widely recognized as an independent state that turkey has expressed staunch support for azerbaijan in the conflict buckaroo insists that backing is limited to diplomacy although armenia alleges that the Turkish Air Force is directly involved with more on the escalation here is our Senior Correspondent juan garcia 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 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 the charts despite everything the International Community is doing the violence seems to be getting worse on monday but we have only one condition that armenia leaves our lands completely and immediately this is family that is 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. I believe the Armenian Army can secure a country in the selfdefense forces of the Golden Corral bark 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. One of the one of this rhetoric though it is in stark contrast to what ordinary people think here in istanbul and in 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 sure and we want everything to end peacefully but i am afraid there is no chance to talk about peace of the moment we must reclaim our lands. World. I fought in the 1st war and in 2016 nowadays people go to the front line to win the shelling will come down then we will be needed there we used to it this is our homeland we have nowhere to go the losses both sides are 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 in the set about johnny side as we mentioned earlier obviously set its path and that path is to reclaim carabaos by force and theres an alarming new element to the conflict russia and france both say there are indications of extremist militants being brought in from the middle east to fight in karbala across live now to r. T. If we can go for more on that walk us through whats being sad jacqueline good evening well right these arent just media reports it is the french president and manual macron making it clear officially that hes got the information that armed fighters from syria are engaged in the battlefield in a go in a car about here is what exactly came from the french leader. Today we have information with certainty that indicates that militants from the had his groups who led the field of combat and syria to rejoin the field of competent care of. Well soon after mr mccraw on the Russian Foreign ministry followed up and said that they have similar information as well which follows their own statement from wednesday when the Russian Diplomats warned of armed militants being moved from syria and libya to the conflict zone in nagornokarabakh but officials in moscow for now are refraining from pointing out who the foreign militants are fighting for i can tell you that the government of us here by john is saying that there is no way that some kind of fighters from outside could be on the battlefield together with their army however the armenian side has previously blamed but who along with allies turkey for doing just that and theyre actually saying that turkey and azerbaijan are exploiting terrorists to try and win the battle against the Armenian Army now in the meantime in a rare display of unity that doesnt always happen with Many International conflicts the president s of the u. S. Russia and france came out with a joint statement in which they are urged the governments of armenia and azerbaijan to urgently lay down arms and come back to negotiating table without any preconditions but i can tell you that the turkish leader type aired on pretty much destroyed this statement by saying that the 3 countries of pretty much failed in their attempts to do something to the crisis over the decades here is what exactly top bird on said. You should do. The fact that america russia and france known as the minsk trio looking for ceasefire in the face of these negative Development Just because they have been equipped to this problem for nearly 30 years is unacceptable. On the other hand we are hearing from russian in turkish diplomats that for example. Foreign minister perhaps chose a bit more of a diplomatic approach to this we know that. Are in touch over this and they are ready to coordinate their peace efforts thats how they are putin it. Arties either trying to stay across the latest for us thank you. Earlier my colleague in oneill spoke to a political analyst focusing on the region who says the situation is more complex than it seems at 1st. There are Many Organizations not to believe i dont think it is real boaties me the earth dorky me they are all frustrated by gen or even to me that it is mainly i suppose the initiative belongs to a certain financial for Financial Firms related to the muslim presence in another meaning of the. Weve seen over the last number of days 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 the shaken out too many forces inside or you wouldnt be of the gun party now wanting to replace him and hes fighting for the place so if the made it through fortune would be on a sort of bridge on the side of the gun would get the glory of. Concorde are over there are many and like stuff that you would cause a big greek conqueror so that is if military force sure are on a sort of a genocide but if it means we have begun to lose nothing because of its beauty but its not about genocide we have noted relations. Russian opposition figurehead onyx and obama says he plans to sue the kremlin Spokes Person for accusing him of working for the cia and we have made that claim after not only gave an interview to german media accusing bottom or putin of poisoning him artist but all of our reports from berlin. Alexina valmy used this interview to the german news magazine beagle to thank the german people and in particular angle america for the help peter received german chancellor visited mist in the valley secretly while he was in the shot at a hospital here in berlin in the interview mist in the valley pulls no punches about who he thinks is behind his alleged poisoning he points that finger of blame firmly at russia and directly at president Vladimir Putin the kremlin has responded to this kremlin Spokes Person to me to the press corps saying the claims made against me if britain against russia were unacceptable and also accused Foreign Intelligence Services of working with mr novell me i claim that putin is behind the crime and i have no alternative versions of what happened i dont say that to flatter myself but on the basis of fact the most important fact is normally chuck the order to use a manufacturer it can only have come from 2 men the head of the f. S. B. Or of the Foreign Intelligence Service the s. V. R. Government and western Intelligence Services are working with him in particular the cia we believe his accusations against the russian president are groundless and unacceptable his interview reveals that he thinks hes as important as the leader of a state but the real rivals at that level are quite different people germany says tests that were carried out show traces of novacek were found now the same type of tests that were carried out on alexina violently in the city of almost skin russia where he 1st received medical treatment well they showed no sign of any such poisoning alexina valise team sent acquired a bottle from a hotel room that hed been staying in in the siberian city of tomsk this bottle was then sent with other things he had to germany where tests were carried out on it and that is where the novacek was found now theres a lot of questions about how that bottle got from a hotel room. To you here in in germany and how those tests were carried out all of those remain unanswered its important course because the whole idea that he was report that he was poisoned with an overcharge nerve agent hangs on the results of those tests now the russian prosecutors have sent 3 requests to berlin for the sharing of information relating to those tests and others that were carried out all mist in the valley so far all of that has fallen on deaf ears but it is not abuse that we turn to the o p c w which unfortunately was playing for time and then told us we need to go back to berlin can you believe that when we were 1st appealing to believe in it directed our communications to the p. C. W this is a vicious circle it is illogical absent and everyone understand it go back to the interview and alexina violently says the russian made attempts to keep him in the country once he was in hospital in siberia i think they were determined not to let me out of the country which is why they publicly stated that i was not fit for transport they waited for me to die in my eyes the chief medical cost bittle is worse than the Intelligence Officers who kill people for them killing is at least their job or previously Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov it said that the very facts alexei the valley was alive right now was down to the quick thinking in the professionalism of the pilot that made the Emergency Landing the power medics that arrived on the scene at the airport in almost the medical professionals that gave him treatment in a hospital in the siberian city where in this post the children so the impeccable work for pilots doctors and paramedics is presented as a lucky coincidence they dont even admit that we acted in a proper way our western partners look at us with the arrogance because we dare to doubt their correctness and professionalism thats why they doubt the professionalism of our doctors and investigators alexina valley was discharged from hosp. Little here in berlin last week he had spent 2 weeks in an induced coma and is currently undergoing physio therapy following that he has said that he wants to return to russia as soon as its possible. German journalist and author Thomas Fassbender told us not all these claims appear to be based on a series of assumptions if you look at number one these argument it is interesting its not an ex use asian by any proof its an ex was asian by conclusion his arguments goes the way that there are only 3 people who can approve of the use of the not been charged nerve agent which joined the hands of the 3 secret services in russia and that they would not do anything without the approval of mr godin interestingly also in the same interview you mentions the possibility that not 3 people but he may have access he calls it much worse even with with some reason probably but this is that all he has is this one conclusion there is no further proof. Amnesty international has issued a damning report condemning the french governments brutal crackdown on protestors and also alleges that the pandemic is being exploited to bring in repressive measures. With more. 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 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 protest did take place including ones linked to the black lives Matter Movement was a. Good. Thing was just. Going to 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 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. More than 40000 people were convicted on the basis of vague laws the Yellow Vests Movement was hit particularly hard. 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 Police 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 for comment so far none has been set back. A french rights defender says the way protesters have been treated has undermined trust. The french government passed. Over to you chris to protest for 2 years now to call them do you know best. The president micro used the police. Very strong straight to to stop the protest using force which was not necessary but in fact he was using force to dent the people stay home by to grow this industry they were not dance there or delinquent people they were just upset of the leaving of the level of living in france i think that people are. In their skin theyre hurting their soul and there is no account lets not trust president and i think hes going to be very hard to lead to. These 2 years before the new president ial election there is a dress of you know i think from from the french people. The u. S. Secretary of state has just concluded a visit to the vatican where he was hoping to meet with pope francis the holy see declined that request saying the pontiff does not meet with politicians during election campaigns however by compare had urged the vatican to join washington and denouncing by lation of religious freedom in china. 2 years ago the hooli sea reached an agreement with the Chinese Communist botany hoping to help john the catholics yet the Chinese Communist block disabuse of the faithful has only gotten worse the vatican and dangerous its moral authority should renew the deal. From day i was referring there 2820000 deal on which the Catholic Church agreed to recognize several bishops backed by beijing it was seen as a 1st step in risk relations between the vatican and china which were severed back in 1951 and response to criticism from the u. S. The holy see defended the agreement with china saying a direction has been marked out that is worth continuing International Relations analyst victor gao thinks washingtons attempt to pressure the vatican is misguided. The mother only as secretary of state i also had the wrong thing and tried to interfere in the internal affairs of the holy see but also all the timing is very suspicious a very sensitive right now and this is really troubling to see the secretary of state of the United States not doing diplomacy but actually becoming a warmonger and the rumor monger in the world very much in. The same footsteps with his president and we can see that washington has read rules in his moral leadership suffering from a seizure of the hysteria extremism and hopelessness whatever your college and or it wants to do whatever you can to practice the being syndrome to watch the kneecaps of china it wants to see china as an enemy and it wants the rally the whole world behind it but they too are not succeed because china is now a very significant force called global growth. The European Union is taking legal action against the u. K. Over it the plan to override the breck that divorce treaty that comes after the house of commons passed an internal market bill which directly contradicts the withdraw agreement approved last here our case is the only has the details. The u. K. Government have introduced this internal market bill listed in the draft status or waiting to be troops into thousands of normal essentially what it would do is by admission of the u. K. Government itself is go against the Withdrawal Agreement that was agreed by the 2 sides at the beginning of this year and undo much of the hard work done by negotiators on both sides of the e. U. Commission have now put the u. K. On notice that they could be facing legal action as a result of this latest measure as you know how we had invited our british friends to remove the problematic parts of van draft internal market beyond the deadline lapsed yesterday with you and the problematic provisions have not been removed the and therefore this morning the commission has decided to send a letter farmer notice to the u. K. Government this is the 1st step in an infringement procedure this bill challenges some of the most important parts of the withdrawal egremont in particular to do the Northern Ireland protocol of course the border between the north and the republic of ireland is hugely important to the stability and peace of the island of ireland and yet there are those on the european side who say that this could threaten the good friday agreement this could violate the integrity of the Single Market this bill that is but also there are some again even within the British Government the Northern Ireland secretary now themselves admitting that by doing this the u. K. Government are violating International Law this does great International Law in a very specific and limited why were taking the power to supply the you know concept of direct effect the strategy in behavior of the British Government was one of brinkmanship was one of threatening to crash out as she you know if if you dont if we dont get to the game and be like ok how it has on you that sort of thing trust has. In a role that. Tension has been created doubts have been created and thats not conducive to solid local stations we are less than 100. 00 days away from the end of the socalled transition period and both sides and should be ready at this point trying to negotiate a deal to avoid a noted outcome that many economists say would be disastrous for both sides not least the u. K. And yet here we are with one side threatening the other with legal action this is surely not how a negotiator is hope things be going at this very late stage. Thats a news break down for this hour and thats all for me as well today but were not you know neil will be taking over about 30 minutes time. To. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics or
