Story of the Week of October 13, 2020 on zReportage.com: ‘THE LONG WAR: Fight For Nagorno-Karabakh’ zReportage #757 by Award winning ZUMA Press Photographer Celestino Arce who is covering this breaking story in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, also there are TASS News Agency photographers Sergei Bobylev and Valery Sharifulin: One of the world’s longest-standing frozen conflicts has now flared up into war. The risk of wider military conflict is escalating in Nagorno-Karabakh, the border region claimed by both Armenia and Azerbaijan, due to the failure of mediation efforts, increased militarization, and frequent cease-fire violations. In late September 2020, heavy fighting broke out along the border-the most serious escalation since 2016. More than three hundred soldiers and civilians have been killed, with hundreds more wounded on both sides. Although UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the UN Security Council, and countries like the United States and Russia have called for an end to hostilities, Armenia and Azerbaijan have rejected pressure to hold talks. Instead, they have pledged to continue fighting and have further escalated tensions by switching from cross-border shelling to the use of longer-range artillery and other heavy weaponry.

Story of the Week of October 6, 2020 on zReportage.com: ‘ONLY THE BRAVE: Wildfire Hotshots’ zReportage #756 by ZUMA Press Photographer Paul Kuroda, a Pulitzer finalist and NPPA photographer of the year winner. Kuroda specializes in covering wildfires with unique access including ride-alongs with fire crews on the ground. Wildfires in California continue to burn, ravaging entire communities and the blazes will soon hit a tragic milestone: 4 million acres burned. The unprecedented fire season has already killed 30 people, burned down thousands of buildings and homes and forced more than 96,000 residents to evacuate. While wildfires are a natural part of California’s landscape, the fire season across the West is starting earlier and ending later each year. Climate change is considered a key driver of this trend. Warmer spring and summer temperatures, reduced snowpack, and earlier spring snowmelt create longer and more intense dry seasons that make forests more susceptible to severe wildfire. Federal Hotshot hand crews are like the special forces of fighting wildfires. Welcome to: ‘ONLY THE BRAVE: Wildfire Hotshots’

June 13, 2020, San Diego, California, USA: ROBERT HERRING, SR., center, speaks to a group of about 50 people gathered at the headquarters of San Diego-based One America News Network to protest what they say is a series of lies, misinformation and conspiracy theories propagated by the organization. The channel, known as OANN or OAN, was founded by Herring in 2013 and is a right-leaning media company that counts President Trump as a regular viewer. Trump was the subject of criticism after re-Tweeting a conspiracy theory that claimed a 75-year-old protester pushed to the ground by police in Buffalo, New York, was an ”antifa provocateur.” In anticipation of the protest, OANN locked-down the facility, preventing anyone from entering or leaving for five hours. Armed guards were hired to protect the property.
