The foreign minister of armenia hes joining us live by skype from the capital yet a van thank you very much indeed for joining us on aljazeera civilians are being caught up in this fighting what efforts are being made to put a stop to it. Thank you very much. There still as a very Dangerous Development over the past days since the 12th of july whether or not there was an alternative imprint to be able to ration by there is every unit or so this surely i mean geraghty to be more of a supply medium and the use of want to come about artillery. Under fire the danger still for escalation which we have now and. These. Attempts to deescalate are a priority now this is what were working for and this is what were working with a quarter or so be ok c. E. Q. Which comprises france russia and the United States this is the priority now we need to deescalate because while i media spoke about us to defend i mean yes i mean Major Garrett all theyre going to care about but war is not an alternative there is no alternative to the peaceful settlement marry me committed to this and will work towards the escalation and establishing an environment which helps an atmosphere which helps. Ease and we share favors state ecosoc the process what kind of detail can you give us about the efforts to try to deescalate this whats the process thats happening and how foster is it going to happen given the fact the people on dying where these fighting this fighting is counting on. Well i just say that it is encouraging that we have relative call with the. Us i think now its about to out the latino worse we are in no constant touch with the o. S. C. A nice meal or jest with russia we are as United States and friends and trying to work out the mood out place that will sustain the strategy question and will we establish the cease fire regime as you mentioned every game which has 8 missions being established in 990 people who need force since the documents signed by i mean are going to bet about and as about your own and greater to know eastern race that mish need a cease fire if. It was being reported that the media had asta the c s t o the collective Security Treaty Organization which is led by russia to to meet on this and take action on it but the response to that seems to have been somewhat locked last oh how what is a mini is reaction to that response i wouldnt know one degree what the assassin and i mean is a member of the c. S. T. Its a collective security trait to overwrite overnight zation and with our partners st are obviously raising the questions which concern the territory. Will be c s you know which any any spark we are grieving our partners about the developments and who will raise the question as we deem necessary and we didnt need it necessary to raise the question of elected actually now but obviously as you know when i say she we could share terror we havent wasted minutes in our hands but we assess the situation assess the apps aspect of the situation we are in contact we are in touch and work consistently with our partners he asked you the were told some 2019 to try to find some sort of solution to this situation its reported that i mean as Prime Minister. Time is reported to have said that theyre going to cut a buck is armenia and he wanted to change the negotiation format of the talks which essentially allegedly undermines the process of the talks how much responsibility does a media carry for the failure all of this stalling of these talks. Again i would rather disagree with such assessment because a Prime Minister of crimea has been very clear in the context of. That even in that context about. I mean him being together into a war to go to court about i mean you know behringer sponsors humanity all the security. Very physical existential security of our competitor its in there going to care about what he meant what he committed to the Peace Process and obviously i mean it has its Development Agenda i mean it has its agenda to you know secure of the prosperity of its nation and theyre going to care about its population are under conditions which which are no a favorable they are to every attempt is made to cut them out of there were and this is not acceptable and i mean this figure provides every support indictment never got about people cant even security any peace and you know meant and and it is in that context i wanted i would undermine undermine that promise to apply me has been very consistent in his statements that peace is possible when we achieve such a compromise such solution which is acceptable to all people to the people of crimea to the people what were going to provoke and the people of president john and we are still awaiting a reciprocation opening of such an approach a compromise basic approach from that it should be you know save my job because now where the pricing is the maximum based approach which hed noons the basic fundamental priorities for me and who dont care about so our position is a position of seeking and establishing a solution which is acceptable to all and well welcome in that direction where pressure times of months akonting and thank you very much indeed i want to bring in my hot 7 hes a systems to the president i was up by sana and had a Foreign Policy department and the president. Ministration hes joining us on skype from baku thank you very much indeed for being with us on. From us about johns point of view you taking part in any negotiations at the moment to try to bring this current fighting to an end. Thank you 1st of all i will all due to my life the armenian minister at the house in this interview and he once again reiterated our mean u. S. Policy of occupation and also to little claims against my country and everything started over so for me in europe armenia and i want to care about region and 7 and december as you saw it was a by john and conducted not tourist as nicklin singh thats in a cold fundamental cause of armenia azerbaijan or a kind of a conflict and also up to it was a great unit asks that question to armenia minister what armenian soldiers are doing on the sovereign soul of azerbaijan what do you also understand that us consulate in armenia beers falls as the chrism of 1000000 more azerbaijan is from going to car and therefore little is speaking armenia is a responsible country for the a list of occupation an additional present by john and it was a recent incident is a simply an Tunisian Army as a whole set of Occupation Army it cant hide itself behind a nice words of peace if i mean you want of peace armenia should be committed to it surged demands of the International Law and particularly United Nations Security Council resolutions to be 0 its the troops from the occupied territories as its not in our armenia also provoked was an incident in the border area of 2 countries its not only just incident its simply cant 2 nations of the policy of aggravation arent for support and yet against it are public of azerbaijan and the sign was seen it is a border area of 2 countries and the question is why are immediately the ins of border area of the country is now one of the reason is that as that clip of diapers edition from the armenians i was in that one car about conflict and also of a armenians responsibility for the crimes but i mean you can meet that is azerbaijan and also to create a new hotbed of conflict in our region article that was a border area by deans army and also tries in a responsible manner to undermine its risk courage or lets armies all of this connectivity project in their engine under question was quite right about armenia. Tries to clean the dirty game as a sort of parties including the military alliances but armenia is a member to his council but its also yet and others are it is possible act to undermine the original peace and security and also we see by the us my interest is spreading armenians over to divert attention from that their social economy armenian Political Leadership all salt there is order to such an adventure as a result of each artillery attack initially of course and within a serviceman have been killed now we have 11 hours and we can soldiers and officers have been killed as a region is not hiding the casualties are so the case in armenia fortunately and its also time for armenian governments to report back to Armenian Society as a result of the irresponsible military adventures they have committed for as regards a negotiation process as in which is committed was a peaceful resolution of the council it based on International Law and dozens of dream of course he mused which aired but as armenia on the minds of those in negotiation and substance of the negotiations and also the armenian Prime Minister sitting where i want to kind of what is armenia isnt an exact undermining of the negotiation process its a reaffirmation of the goals of annexation of the solitary there is a azerbaijan and its also all this in respect to the mediation process and the ways that we see music reports to countries let me let me just quickly ask you about i take i take all the points that youre making but let me just bring you back to the original question that i had given the fact that we are seeing fighting on the ground and the people are dying. Open to negotiations to bring this current round of fighting to an end. It was there which is always been our interest it is a peaceful resolution of all matters but here is a little our zones are mean yes its in armenia started with attention and escalation these are border area and it was always on is also in concert was always see music Group Countries and also regional countries and we have an extensive diplomatic contact was that russia was always entries and also some of the regional cancers in general as a way to support peaceful resolution of the council and it was existing framework for much of the negotiations but of course in armenia has started an army and b is responsible of the army should also. Explain reasons why it was. From this i quote how you have his assistant to the president and head of Foreign Policy department at the president ial administration of by john so we appreciate your time thank you for joining us on. But have more ahead on the news hour including anger in japan why the u. S. Military is accused of not doing enough to contain a coronaVirus Outbreak at its base is. A rising inflation uncovered 19 in nigeria leaving many struggling to feed their families plus. Its a goal fast and italys top Football League joe is going to be here with all the action in the sport. China is vowing to retaliate after the u. S. President announced new measures to hold beijing accountable donald trump a survey of sanctions against chinese officials over the recently national recent National Security law which has been imposed on Hong Kong China says its now going to impose sanctions of its own. Joan found gentle to be out to up hold our legitimate interests in china will make the necessary responses to sanction the relevant personnel and entities of the us side we are just the us to correct their mistakes and to not implement this act and stop interfering in chinas internal affairs if the u. S. Insists on going down the wrong path china will definitely hit back all hong kong is being stripped of its special trade and economic status and banks that deal with some chinese officials are also going to face sanctions the hong kong or tanami act which i signed this afternoon passed unanimously through congress this law gives my administration powerful new tools to hold responsible the individuals and the entities involved in extinguishing hong kongs freedom weve all watch what happened not a good situation their freedoms been taken away their rights have been taken away and with it goes on in my opinion because it will no longer be able to compete with free markets well thompson and when it came after a win for his administration with the u. K. Announcing its going to ban chinese tech giant holway from its new high Speed Mobile Network citing concerns about security china is strongly opposed to that decision saying the u. K. Is merely playing into political manipulation from the u. S. Lets speak now to katrina you shes joining us from beijing katrina this has been a big u. Turn for the u. K. On holway lets talk about that 1st of all whats the reaction in beijing to that. Well the aging definitely is unhappy we heard earlier from quaternion whos the Foreign Ministry spokesperson she had quite strong words for the u. K. She said that it was colluding with the u. S. To oppress Chinese Companies she said that this was an unfair discriminatory move it violated a commitment by the u. K. To fall away and china and also it damage relations between london and they doing she said that the u. K. Would do better to listen to the Business Community in britain who are opposed to this move because it was the Business Community there as well as the citizens of the u. K. Who would suffer because of it now watching was also asked if she agreed with this very strong editorial which was posted in the global times to state media newspaper and government mouthpiece which essentially attacked the u. K. Government saying that this was a borzoi huawei but at the same time china shouldnt worry because the u. K. Was a weak link in terms of other western 5 eyes allied countries and also it said that china should retaliate in a strong way because otherwise other western powers like get the wrong idea and think that its ok to bully beijing well quaternion didnt respond directly to that but she did say that china would do whatever it could to protect Chinese Companies and she also strongly encourage any chinese investors to reconsider doing business with the u. K. Because of the risky environment there lets have a listen to what she had to say on that. And just show you which usually this is about the u. K. At all costs politicizing commercial and Technology Issues this is about china facing major threats in its investment security in the u. K. And its about our confidence in whether the u. K. Markets can remain open fair and nondiscriminatory so we will comprehensively and seriously evaluate this and will take all necessary measures to safeguard our companies interests and rights. Ok katrina lets talk about donald trump revoking Hong Kong Special status. Why was china responding to this and how is it likely to hit back well the diplomatic relationship between beijing and washington seems to be in a downward spiral and the rhetoric is certainly being taken up a notch quaternion said that she called the u. S. A troublemaker and she said that if the u. S. Really wants to stir up trouble let the storm rage with greater force so it seems that beijing is not going to back down on this she essentially repeated and only a statement by chinas Foreign Ministry that was released on wednesday morning saying that the u. S. Is slandering hong kongs National Security law that it should not meddle in chinas internal affairs and they should back down from this justified the law saying that this was essential for Hong Kong Security its stability its peace Going Forward that the hong kong people like accept and want to this level of course that is vastly different from a lot of the sentiment that were hearing from hong kong she also said that they jim would hit back at the u. S. In the form of sanctions against the relevant u. S. Officials and personnel as katrina you bring is the latest from beijing between a thank you very much indeed when those of the election primaries in hong kong have been calling for Greater Unity within the prodemocracy camp in Septembers Legislative Council polls most of the 600000 votes went to socalled localist candidates including prominent activist joshua wont many of them are expected to be disqualified from running juta their political stance but they say they wont stop fighting against chinas crackdown on the territories freedoms if you go up on has more from on the polls from hong kong. Joshua long and many proponents of the prodemocracy camp and i have to say that it is mostly the younger democracy candidates the protesters from last year all held a press conference on the back of this primary elections that were held over this weekend which had a remarkable turnout of around 600000 people what the democracy camp and democracy activists were hoping to do consolidate their support base by asking the people to choose who would best represent them in the Legislative Council elections in september and as it turns out the result was that those younger younger candidates those that were involved in last years protests and perhaps those that are more radical are the ones who seem to have gotten the most support and joshua wong did speak and i give a press conference saying that this is definitely a sign and a message to beijing that the younger demo democracy camp will not stand down in the face of threats of this National Security law and from the government here is what he had to say i will both boys being hurt in the Global Community under the shrink in front of painting we should not and surrender and today 16 candidates from the protest camp hold a press conference we urge and raise the possibility hope to have dialogue and discussion with. Candidates in the primary election for last through the traditional prone people cry to come with the crackdown from. No room and and tries to have an infringement haitian is time for us to and has. Now i must say that although this is seen somewhat of a victory particularly for the younger protesters there are those who are trying to get into politics there is an issue of the fact that the old democracy guard the older lawmakers and such have been pushed out those that may have been more attracted to beijing and more moderates in attracted to hong kongs government. And there is also a risk that many of these new candidates including joshua one could be pushed out eventually or disqualified. The york times says its moving some of its hong kong stuff to soldier concerns over press freedom its the 1st International News outlet to relocate journalists since china imposed a sweeping National Security law in the city New York Times says the legislation created uncertainty about hong kongs prospects as a hub for journalism flash flooding on the indonesian island of the ways it has killed at least 16 people dozens of others are missing and thousands of homes have been destroyed in north little heavy rain triggered landslides burying buildings and roads in mud around 2000 islanders in temporary shelters and flooding in northeast india has killed at least 77 people 2000000 indians in assam states have been forced from their homes during 2 weeks of heavy monsoon rain huge areas are underwater because one of asias largest rivers has burst its banks and the heaviest rains for 10 years in bangladesh of stranded or forced more than a 1000000 people from their homes water levels and major rivers are continuing to rise in northwest and central districts of flooding which started late last month as washed crops away weather experts expect little relief soon. Ok lets stay in asia for more on the weather rob it looks pretty bad and it looks as though its now looking towards indonesia recently internees is still a ways in which is months but even that its not typically wet months and sort of way sea has been badly hit the last 23 years or various things there was a 2800. 00 tsunami and there was significant floods last year so its very unfortunate thats a polite way of putting it but this is where were talking about and probably in the north the on the floods are a little bit further south than that you were as you just saw on the report and you can see that its a its its the mudslide thats the real problem here the rain comes down and then an uncertain ground settled ground just covers everything and thats the real deadly aspect of it and its very difficult to predict that or doing much about it to be quite honest however the next couple days should see the heaviest of the rain and thats represented by those orange tops fun storms drift slowly west was but only slowly forecast the pilot which is the capital of this island is showers on thursday and then it looks fine for friday and saturday which is really what it should be you also heard talk just now of the flooding weve seen in the northeast of india and in bangladesh thats true of course these floods of these rains comes through impulses and the immediate future were in of course the middle of monsoon season there is good news here there are all that many more showers around in the northeast of a good some in bhutan very few in fact the focus now is hopefully further west maharastra for example rob thanks very much indeed rob ok al jazeera has uncovered shocking new revelations about the number of infants who died at the hands of catholic religious orders in ireland part of a 3 month investigation into the socalled mother and baby homes its estimated as many as 6000 children could be buried in unmarked graves in arlens it found that in the grounds of one home the nuns appear to have put a sewage tank on top of the remains of children who died in their care. And in another home the nuns may have misled the commission of inquiry as to where the bodies of children are buried on slee has this exclusive report. 6 years on from the discovery of 800 babies bodies in sewage tanks under a form a mother and baby home in the irish town of chim and the state commission to investigate what really happened still has yet to report but to me seems to be the tip of the iceberg. This is like all such homes women who become pregnant out of marriage were ordered to come here. Cause huge this is your 1st impression when you walk in its like a stately home and surrender their babies to the nuns for adoption while they were made to work in the laundries as a punishment for their sins. This is the 1st time a film crew has entered the. Kind of just darkly we rush briars of in the 1980 s. Michael was a groundsman he was asked by the nuns to clear a patch of land for what is now a socalled angels plots a place to commemorate the children who died of things like malnutrition in the home turned over and i just know a lot. Of the nuns claim 269 babies died here the last in 1904 yet official records say the actual figure is over a 1000 so where are they weve established the existence of a burial pits for unbaptized children whose deaths are recorded anywhere and its believed a sewage tank has been laid in the angels plot as well its an echo of what happened to you. Are we prepared to allow this level of just the question baby. To be really we. Are. We are not even going to. As another home best confidential Irish Health Service document showed just how many infants died in the care of the nuns in one year the death rate was 82 percent 900 babies died here yet only 64 recorded the nuns say they cant remember where the rest of but this official map suggest the existence of a childrens burial plots right here you can see the indentations from the air i dont believe for one second they dont know where the burial grounds are and i dont believe for one second that they dont how far apart of everything that happened in the process we came across a workman whod been asked to dig up the site right next to where the graves appear to be are you worried about it where he had no way of knowing but for the relatives of those who died here its amounts to tampering with a potential crime scene for you know very under question for the relatives the idea that the remains of thousands of children are scattered around oil and shouldnt really be a matter for a Civil Commission of inquiry its all it should be something for these people the police. There were 14 mother and baby homes in ireland our investigation has raised concerns about a number of them but by no means all the irish state commission has an opportunity to reveal the truth about what happened throughout the 20th century with all the implicit criticism of the role of the Catholic Church in society whether it will remains an open question and to decide to release its own findings. Are actually aljazeera in and and you can watch more from loans from these investigation into alans mother and baby scandal on the people in power later on wednesday at 2230 g m t susan as cofounder of Adoption Rights Alliance and shes joining us via as zoom from dublin we appreciate your time on thank you very much indeed for joining us on aljazeera just watching lawrences report there the 1st thing that hit me is the scale of this issue. Well it doesnt come as any surprise to those of us who has been looking at these issues for many decades now and. As a collective massachusetts force the mothers of the unmarried mothers and their nonmarital children across this nonsense that 14 months or maybe they were regarded as other. States state grants to profit from care of these women and their children so they were never really concerned about the welfare of the individuals they were only concerned about their profit notions. Using the women after only paid labor in thems institutions the implication is that the nuns who are alleged to have done this. Were be centrally able to work in isolation that there was no or overall authority watching what was going on has that situation changed and if it hasnt how can it. Well from the formation of the irish station 122 up until at january 953 it was no oversight of adoptions are not meant and these. Huge mystically course and existed primarily to separation all marital children from their own married mothers for the purposes of adoption now in that period strangely to 52 and the children of fans out for a very young age as a cheap source of labor in the Rural Economy for example and from 900. 00. 53 today theres been an oversight of adoptions the panther. There are almost no women and going into such institutions and there are small residential units for women who might find themselves in a crisis pregnancy but the whole scale removal of women who are married mothers from society to place him in its doesnt happen anymore but even prior to january 19th 53. 00 because these homes under the registration of maternity homes that they were actually obliged to fulfill certain criteria and they were to be inspected irish state Health Inspectors that. Now are very few inspections occurred. Very few inspectors actually took their. Their obligations seriously the one exception to that would be ms alice lister sue complained about conditions particularly in best on a regular basis and would have alerted us as harshly as indictment 7 likes of the best prayer was regarded as such and. Such a center of disease. And who are these children that was shut down temporarily in the late ninetys. Dan announced to me other than with no additional oversight apparently narrow care so the death rates continue and and parents let me just quickly ask you one of the issues that was raised by lawrences package was of course the one about. As i interpreted it closure for the families of those children who have gone missing is there any way briefly that there is some way of families reaching some sort of closure to bring this tragedy to an end. No i think the commission of investigation which of course is now returning that 3 years nations report is not. The answer that families desperately needs and news is primarily focused is cute but just its time ever purchased on reception surely because of course that was the home of his International Economics in 2014 and this seems to have been a bill nations attempt to look at death rates and burial sites in Charles Abbey and best friend. And we dont believe thats the truth she says examination has occurred in the science once or ever not to the same extent as being has been. Insured and there is an absolute belief in the coauthor of primary government that as long as they drag absolutes it is now or they continue to deny the scandals that the vast majority of the families directly affected its basically the women and girls who gave birth to children dont know what it is children are alive or dead that day in fact will have died before the truth comes out so is in the hands cofounder of the Adoption Rights Alliance thank you very much indeed for joining us on aljazeera.

Who will farah the painter responsible for this mural of mexican artist frida kahlo in a face mask says people need a reminder that the outbreak in mexico is still not under control when i clearly the idea is that given the popularity of frida kahlo shes will love across society that with her using a face mask we can raise awareness on its usefulness in preventing covert 19.
