His son is fighting on the southern flank 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 he calls me to say that hes fine and thats it it doesnt happen often once in 23 days at the beginning he used to call me once in 4 days now more often the war hasnt changed my routine 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 apart than im proud of having the child no mother knowing there is currently a war in the barn a car by will call me rest her head on a pillow after 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.

French president of honor mccraw is got a new plan to teach arabic in the Country Schools he says its a way of combating extremism brotherhood teaching it in religious associations or mosques but thats not sitting well with part of French Society its come under a hail of criticism from both the right and the left in france our correspondent sheila dubinsky has got the details. Under plans announced by president korn france is fighting back against separatism and a deviation away from the secular nature of the republic but the law which has yet to be fully drafted and released has been seen as an attack against islam but on speech did they kill to alleviate those concerns. The problem is islam ist separatism this conscious theorized political religious project which materializes in repeated deviations from the values of the republic which often results in the constitution of a counter society and whose manifestations of the dropout 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 midsts 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 to teach 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 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 what they 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 loss is widely offered there is no indication there would be a prolific appetite for them its currently the 8th 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 moore theres nothing wrong with. School. I think theres a message i think thats where all the french are. Going to if we dont want to push integration if we want to help communities that are trying to live together. And which is one of the best instruments which can be used to get people around you have to talk. 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. It is an act of separatism you know that arabic has existed here for a long time and it never brought me that radicalism or terrorism they resist specific branch of muslims who naturally make the headlines but this is a branch thats not all muslims dont generalise. And berlin this morning clashes adorne police have faced off with left wing demonstrators as authorities moved into victim iconic squatters protest. A little court ruled the occupants should return the building to its own lease on the house expired 2 years ago but the activists refused to leave the building the previous attempt to pick the squatters ended in failure back into 19 the activists accuse a building is legal. Real estate mogul of unscrupulous practices theres a heavy Police Presence at the site with at least 3000. 00 officers in riot gear huge turnout there the eviction is to be completed is the plan by the end of the day well keep you posted. Friday morning in moscow high coming up her election day is creeping closer in the u. S. And new poll Shows Americans think more violence is potentially just around the corner too over the gloomy all right on the button well i guess give us their thoughts on it after the break. 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 led. By. What is true whats his fate. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. For a mate in the shallowness. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. I get the next years president ial debates not even less likely to happen after the commission on president ial debates refused to trump teams request to hold a law even face to face youre saying youre not going to participate you know im not going to waste my time on a virtual debate thats not what debating is all about you sit behind a computer and do a debate is ridiculous and then they cut you off whenever they want. Trumps Team Proposed the next debate planned for thursday to oct 29th bidens advisers the refused to accept that option democrats meantime want to remove trump based on his health yesterday House Speaker pelosi hinted that democrats would look at using maybe the 25th amendment to oust the president but its the cabinet including the Vice President who must initially invoke that to prevent a provision not congress anyway trying to see it to respond to pelosi as planned well let you know if we hear what it is so is the debates hanging by a thread a new poll Shows Growing fears over where the election will lead more than half of respondents say they believe violence will increase over november as a result people expect to see riots looting and cities in flames at the same time just 2 thirds feel the country could be on the verge of civil war is the gloom justified mccauley call embrace spoke to a 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 force the war i could certainly course need some additional civil war referencing a lot of the civil unrest over the past few months violence rate i dont know but 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 that its a job 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 the law. In the country and that of course people who are deaf aeration the 4th riot people in america are isnt as divided stratified and polarized d as ever right wing violent elements are certainly ready at the beck and call of trump to fly ins action in large segments of the population a 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 over in reality. Most americans dont want violence but this of happened anyway would america be in this state now is it 4 years of trump or would it have happened anyway well certainly on the trump is down to spend in trump is not taking this seriously hes prioritized other thing i mean how is he showing up at the white house is if today was a normal day imagine of one of us showed up at studio our at our jobs when he was still contagious we called it trying to downplay it 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 calorie rate about on par with who 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 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 when he tried to shut things down so you really you cant win when you politicize medical situation like that. Let me turn to the morning time but now to top stories promise and live comment on it from a correspondent armenia and azerbaijan have confirmed participation in talks moscow to mediate those talks with the 2 nations of Foreign Ministers who are due to arrive here in the russian capital later friday across the he yerevan armenia to leave for trying because big news this part of hope that maybe there could be some immediate peace and of course the longer term is that maybe some better way can be fun to be found theres a long long long standing 30 year conflict. Kevin hi again while moscow has once again proved how much its determined to a deal with the bloodshed to stop the 2 weeks of conflict in. In the breakaway republic of the gordon car and i was there by john now these kind of efforts from moscow we understand theyre being welcomed by 2 sides by both but cohen the area of bond and there is a response because like you said kevin is the Foreign Ministers of both armenia and azerbaijan have confirmed that they will be on the way to moscow very soon possibly on the way already it takes about 3 hours to get to the russian capital on the plane from both yet avon and baku so we are expecting these crunch talks very soon like i was talking to kevin earlier when i told you that the Foreign Ministers were invited to moscow for what was called consultations and these talks are supposed to be mediated by the Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov now that was after the russian president Vladimir Putin spent hours talking on the phone with both leaders of by john and armenia which makes us understand that some kind of 1st steps for some kind of agreements have already been made because this doesnt just happen like that with the click of a button now late on thursday i can tell you that on the kremlin website a statement by president Vladimir Putin already appeared and that was when he called on both sides to achieve some kind of immediate ceasefire agreement and lay down arms. Russias president cisco which will be into the still exists in the government current conflict zone for humanitarian reasons hes also suggested the 2 sides look at an exchange of prisoners and the remains of those killed a little earlier in an interview to russian t. V. Mr putin called this conflict a real tragedy which is a tragedy. For 2 nations that are very close to russia but the real question is to what extent by john and armine are ready to strike. Immediate ceasefire this is a very difficult one because the 2 sides have shown that both of them are waiting for some kind of 1st step from the other side we were talking to a spokesperson of the i was there by john the Foreign Ministry and she told us that theyre ready for some kind of compromise but all really if armenia stops its provocations thats the way she put it. You have to this is where it should not be one sided because as ive said we had ceasefire starting from 1900 are and the negotiations continued what they did bring as a result nothing of what john is committed to the peaceful solution but what we see lately is that armenia is continued complication. Likewise on the other side when Prime Minister posturing on of armenia was speaking we heard from him that armenia is ready for concessions but only if these concessions come from but 1st. Hes rid of conflicts should be resolved mutual considerations. Is ready for it and make concessions as the bush is already full of. High profile talks and attempts to solve the crisis in the gorn a car back to the escalation thats already proved to be the worst in decades are not only going to happen in moscow right now in the area of on. Actually here and just about 15 minutes ago i saw the Prime Ministers of russia kazakstan bella reuss and armenia theyre meeting here for a Different Event that was planned in advance for a post soviet integration bloc theyre here to discuss Different Things but surely the war in nagornokarabakh is going to be on the table as well so possibly were going to hear something from these high profile figures to be a multipronged approach and it cant come soon enough you know more than 3 decades old blood so much animosity over the years maybe an end in sight will be across it with your help. Ok no you coded measures in new york or religious communities that saw 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 the iraq. Was what we were Orthodox Jews say theyre 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 a high ranking bishop from the Roman Catholic church is speaking out catholic churches in brooklyn queens have not had any coded outbreaks so significant cases since reopening on july the 5th to 25 percent capacity we fervently objects to being told to further reduce capacity because we have strict did to cohabit 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. Ill do 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 went out we still say. R. T. New york and tell you that so weve got time for from now if you dont come or a social media for so much more kevin i when the sun enough of the great day. A dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. Dozens of women sells the bodies on the streets many of them under age.
