Most of all the people of nagornokarabakh want peace weve already see it the responsibility for any resumption of the war will rest with the government of azerbaijan today tomorrow and in the future Russias Foreign Ministry said the situation has sharply deteriorated and they have reports of untinged shelling from both sides the kremlin along with the e. U. And france a calling for an immediate ceasefire frequency of escalation even if they are controlled are suggesting we are really entering a very dangerous. Where it can definitely get out of control. He why new players regional players are being drafted in todays. Disputed nuge sound of the 1901 collapse of the soviet union when i mean separatists seized the territory 30000 died in fighting. In 1900 ceasefire was agreed but talks to resolve the dispute stools. Nearly 2 decades later tensions rose again in july with the worst fighting since 26 being the last year or so the armenian leader nicol russian none has been no longer want to negotiate according to the people like me had been trying to bring together between azerbaijan and armenia he said record is always going to be part of armenia that has really very severe negative emotions and other by john. Has repeatedly valid to recapture nickel and karabakh by force and i mean he has vowed to defend the territory well it is disputed which side moved on sunday morning its clear that both remain determined to claim to go in a karabakh as their own shallow ballasts aljazeera lets bring in robin for a stray walker our correspondent following the story from the georgian capital tbilisi robin of these clashes still ongoing into the night. We havent heard any information to the opposite of that were still hearing about ongoing. Fighting the figures of course fluid as well we know of at least 10 Armenian Military personnel dead. As a by john also admitting casualties and also civilian dead on both sides so its looking like in just a single day of fighting so far at least as many People Killed as we had seen over several days when there was an outbreak of conflict in july but this is fighting of a different category this is taking place across the whole along the whole line of control and this is the area on the edge of karabakh territory with by john controlled on the one side by Armenian Forces who mostly control the upper slopes the higher positions and as ery forces positions along that line of control and also the armenians are saying that artillery fired by these areas has struck positions not just on that line of control but also within the karabakh region including state panic at the capital which makes this very a whole different category of seriousness in terms of this fighting so this is worse than what was happening what 2 and a half or 3 months ago now almost but why has this flared up today. Well theres been a lot of bellicose rhetoric being being talked up. Where president aliyev of azerbaijan when he addressed the United Nations General Assembly last week accused armenia of preparing for war but these areas have continually asserted their rights to get back their territories territories that are internationally recognized as airy and that its not going to karabakh and a number of surrounding regions or districts that armenia controls including a district that provides a crucial land bridge between armenia and nagornokarabakh and the armenian saying that just didnt the last few days there had been a build up of forces by. So it looks as if this has been planned and Observers International observers whove been watching things closely to have been saying that really the International Community needed to do more to try to keep these sides in check to bring them back to the negotiation table the armenian saying they had wanted to return to peace talks as a by john saying that this is just a distraction that i mean is never really serious about a real peaceful solution to this conflict the backstory to this conflict or the attitude behind the conflict goes back or 30 years 35 years maybe the people of Nagorno Karabakh there was a referendum wasnt there at one point where the people of nagornokarabakh voted not to side with either side who are involved in this conflict starting today so again do they feel as if theyre caught in the middle i guess. Well the facts on the ground they dont care about there are no really as airy ethnic azeris they were ethnically cleansed they fled their lands their territory day villages their homes during that ghastly conflict in the 1990 s. But their histories always been fought over. Karabakh is the kind of cultural heart of of by john thats where its poets its artists came from and now karabakh. Armenian as far as the armenian i think armenians are concerned they dont call it correct they call it. But these are questions that right now will have to be put aside while we focus on whats happening in the immediate time where we can see at the moment what looks to be the worst outbreak of violence at least since 1904 if this continues into the into the near future we are on day one there is always the potential for ceasefire to be called and to be stuck to but it certainly looks for the moment as if azerbaijan and armenia are on a confrontation that they may struggle to be able to get out or in the coming days ok russia is also calling for peace but im intrigued to know why turkey why the government in ankara apparently has taken such a robust stance on this. Well there were an has said that turkey stands with azerbaijan turkey has been more articulate in talking about its support for azerbaijan. And the Prime Minister of armenia is particularly concerned by the potential for turkey to become more involved in this theater. This this looks like whiter. Dispute brewing with Big International players vying for control or influence russia has for a long time been the the arbiter in this dispute now turkey is coming in. Some say that maybe this is turkey showing its showing it has its own ability to influence events on the ground here the way that russia has been able to impose its influence on turkeys neighbor syria so this is the fear that a lot of people have been articulating that this could become part of a more wider. Conflict with International Players brought in ok robin many thanks robin for a street walker there are correspond reporting live from tbilisi well both armenia and azerbaijan have been locked in this territorial dispute as weve been exploring for decades now it emerged out of the collapse of the Old Soviet Union when armenian separatists seized the territory about 30000 people died in the fighting then in 1904 there was an agreed ceasefire but there have been several instances of fighting since then in april 26th about 110 people were killed in the morse most serious fighting in years and the most recent flare up as weve heard happened in july now al jazeera has spoken to officials from both armenia and azerbaijan it. Is an assistant to the president of us about john and the head of Foreign Policy department of the president ial administration he says as a by johns aim is to recapture the areas occupied by armenia. So your scripts are improves army news material an integration and our civilians are becoming targets or mean on forces and we have one. Other but units on the i think this is my job and there are 4 other version on forces in wisconsin action some contract acts to repel armenians provocations and 1st acts of aggression and peace of which i am an import armenian to peace because of this one negotiation process is also failing because of the deliberate and destructive attitudes of our Media Council who dont have enough real negotiation buts and i mean if i or it seems and they are here 1st is an interesting to consider or other but to civilians who are living in close proximity to the line of conflict is an intense and the variation of the bridge on a continent harming is a question that lost most of the so that years so the Un Security Council resolutions demand immediate unconditional israel army and troops on the occupied it is a cause of which are so quite simple implemented by armenia and they continue to take up the chances and who is in if huge is an idea peace they have a right to return back to the assortments because of armenians operation to convert them back meanwhile the armenian Foreign Ministers era the kanya told this channel aljazeera that his country will do whatever it takes to defend the region. You know go on about well be defending every single inch of their land and all their security and i mean you will be together until this threat so cool have been there usually in the parlance of the other German Government and the end of the regime but the latest was in the United Nations General Assembly and it just brought this into a practical implementation once again once again there will be a recount a morning as being the pool or the conventions of the month jul well before the next in this position on the grounds of my thinking thats been consistent and to think that they are going theyre going to call it a secure job and they should they have once again brought the people that we have to care about the security and thats where the people of were going to carve out what ive been on the defense of their region their security against aggression and their russian preplan not just part of the merger of the map but with the massive or jerky we had its military presence and which is showing the. Union that aggressive you know that. Aggressive approach and. This is a very very sound massive escalation of the concert which was a very gentle hope for which there was a slow response that. Plenty more still to come for you here on the news hour including well hear from journalists in hong kong who are losing their right to reporters china clamps down on press freedom. Seeking justice for mexicos missing street signs arrest warrants a receipt for police and military personnel. And of course militia bron james lee and his team to the n. B. A. Finals basketball action coming up in about 30 its. The many governments and who the rebels have finalized a deal to exchange more than a 1000 prisoners the u. N.

Operation during the history of the conflict in yemen peaceful negotiations can succeed and they will succeed in bringing relief to the yemeni people and Building Confidence for the peace process. Implemented this new deal would pave the way to a broader prisoner swap. 6 years says the houthi took over the capital sana fighting continue claiming the lives of thousands of people the fate of thousands of prisoners is yet to be decided the un hopes the warring factions will resume talks soon to free all prisoners at the end of the day only parties to the conflict can bring long lasting positive change that yemeni people so neat. I believe over the last days we have been reminded here again that small steps that can have big impact are possible and much needed in yemen today. In the past tribal leaders and clerics brokered major prisoner exchanges but never managed to get all the parties to and the conflict. The saudi backed government insists a political deal will only happen once the houthi is pull out from the areas they controlled into 1014. 00 and had over their weapons condition dismissed by the iran backed rebels who describe themselves as legitimate representatives of the yemeni people. In 2018 un envoy announced what he described as a landmark deal in yemen the Stockholm Agreement consisted of a prisoner swap the creation of a Demilitarized Zone in cities on the red sea and and to the fighting in tires and a commitment from all the parties to start political talks to end the conflict but within days the deal collapsed and fighting could resume.

The un has described the humanitarian crisis in yemen as the worst in the world most of its people including 12000000 children need humanitarian assistance. Many hope this agreement may be a step towards an and to a war that is raising the threat of yemens disintegration. Aljazeera.

S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg President Donald Trump has officially nominated Amy Coney Barrett to replace her confirmation hearing could start as soon as october the 12th. And if confirmed barrus appointment would for the consolidated conservative majority in the court for decades to come is can really help it. Was a highly anticipated nomination made official when u. S. President donald trump and now stern a judge amy kone barrett. Judge barrett currently serves as a federal judge in chicago and is president trumps 3rd pick for the u. S. Supreme court she is a woman of unparalleled achievement towering intellect sterling credentials and unyielding loyalty to the constitution if confirmed judge barrett would replace Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg who died earlier this month and was an iconic champion of womens rights she not only broke last ceilings she smashed them for that she has won the admiration of women across the country and indeed all over the world like the pioneer before her beret is also a working mother she has 7 children including one with special needs and 2 adopted children from haiti she is devoutly religious and disagrees with the viewpoint the u. S. Constitution is an evolving living document a judge must apply the law as written. Judges are not policymakers and they must be resolute and setting aside any policy views they might hold critics fear that view could shift the high court further right and lead to decisions that could undo abortion rights and the Affordable Care act that provides Health Insurance for tens of millions of americans democratic president ial nominee joe biden urge senators not to confirm barrett arguing the future of health care hangs in the balance the democratic leader in the senate agrees her views are way to the right of the American People and as they learn about it she will become less and less popular.

S. Policy on Foreign Policy explains now what types of decisions could change if the court holds more of a conservative majority the immediate and the reason why donald trump and the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell are trying to rush this through in an unprecedented 5 waves far quicker than any process weve had in an Election Year is because donald trump wants the Supreme Court to protect him if he defies the outcome of the november 3rd election in other words if he loses to joe biden were talking about an impact on millions of lives so lets take the muslim ban which was Donald Trumps 1st executive order all the way back in january 2007 tane he and his advisors fought for that for years through the courts and finally they got a limited victory in the Supreme Court which maintained some of the restrictions on largely on citizens of largely muslim countries now with an amy county barrett on the court hes much more in sympathy with those types of restrictions they can try to go farther before and then when it comes to dock of lets be very clear here weve got 700000 children of undocumented immigrants who are protected by a 2012 or 2 that were obama that donald trump has spent years trying to strip away that all he has failed so far on the ports but the hope is now if the Supreme Court tilts this further to no farther to the conservative majority those immigrants or immediately at risk of being pushed out of the United States if a berets us now they really dont belong here.

S. Market country risk alex miller has really welcome back to aljazeera so what we know so far this is worse than july this is worse than the socalled 4 day war in 2016 how bad do you think it might get. So this is a very good question because so far as you correctly noted the host of the gone but has been limited to the carbon conflict zone and i see the likelihood of peace continue again other words are going month and me being limited to the carbon conflict zone now if we see in the unlikely event that in the unlikely event that it spills over then the whole host of other kind of a cascading repr gosh ns arrays emerge to the surface to the to the surface you know one of them is of course. Has to do with the defense and security commitments to armenia and we shouldnt forget that russia has a military presence in i mean you had to give marie military base now 30 also has sort of bilateral defense and security commitments john but these cannot but they are what itd be really different so in the event that the host of the spills over outside or the confines of the guard area then you know for instance schools will will will be asking questions about the collective Security Treaty Organization reaction because army in years a member of the c. S. T. Or and i already mentioned to you the russian bilateral commitments to armenia so we are we will witness but then show escalation of the conflict beyond the karbala conflict zone again has to also bear in mind one also has to bear in mind that in this situation as it gradually is the one that is dissatisfied with the status quo understood there has in theory been in place for 29 years now a ceasefire so why does this just keep on rumbling on. Yeah there were plenty of there were plenty where i mention to you that as a bludgeon is this at this riot with the status quo but there were plenty of warning signs who instance this past week there were random sort of confiscation of pickup trucks in azerbaijan in addition to these there was a mobilization of reservists in azerbaijan and starting from july you know we have witnessed kind of around in their rhetoric on the us very bar one potential trigger for the euro and one potential trigger for the current escalation in the garbage zone could have been stemming from the statement made by the separatist leader on 19th of september and had to do with the actual plans by the suspension is leadership of not going to care about enclave to me the defacto legislature from this that banneker the other a name for this capital of a breakthrough or region is content d. From step one i get to show shoeshine has historical significance for their side and present value i reacted very angrily to the east now their plans were to remove the secessionist Legislature Legislature by 2022 nevertheless it was again to poor boy on fire so essentially azerbaijan is pressuring armenia and more importantly the 3 main negotiators to achieve some sort of progress in the moribund talks that are overseen by the or c. Group ok to this effect meaning military pressure is an essential instrument ok but alex when it comes to those more upon talks clearly the government in ankara and the government in moscow a lot of being put in mr while they are watching this very closely give me 30 seconds on what is the calculation being made on the part of russia and turkey. Well russia is the only country that this government of bringing the bringing the warring sides to the talking to a bow turkey is of secondary importance in this context but turkeys pronouns him and move would go in support of azerbaijan and in this but then surely raises the possibility of a region wide escalation ok could this get worse because of something completely different could it get worse because of coronavirus because all those president s and Prime Ministers all those military people all those advisors who might get involved in trying to be a source of oil on troubled waters if you will theyve got their eye on Something Else now you know because covert is going completely in the wrong direction around the world your coverage has had really little impact on the on the Dynamic Security dynamic in the garden zone you know to be honest with you and out of the 3 south caucasus countries i mean theres a budget in georgia i mean your was that worst affected but they get this has had very little impact on the city on the situation on the ground in terms of security situation so i would i would say that you know the influence of the epidemy logical factors has been you know negligible ok we must leave it there alex thanks very much alex millikans really talking to us from paris thank you for having me. But its being counted in switzerland for a referendum on several major issues only protection suggest voters rejected limiting the Free Movement of e. U.

Brazil has suffered more than 140000 deaths from the covered 1000 virus one of the worst death tolls in the world in neighboring argentina about 18000 have died but instead of working together the right wing brazilian president jaya balsa noddle is criticizing president and this is a left wing government chris handling of the economy amid the crisis saying its leading the country to failure. By the left is responsible for whats happening in that country their return to power is rapidly creating a regime similar to that in venezuela. And his allies in the United States and regionally Venice Whaler and its president Nicolas Maduro are the enemy to be the next Venice Whaler is the greatest insult they can hurl this last year on the visit in friendlier times to one osiris. I believe all of us in south america concerned that this should not be new venezuelas in the region. The tension between brazil and argentina has been building for some time paul sonora didnt attend fernandezs inauguration last december. Despite the argentine leaders efforts to extricate himself from a dispute between the 2 men the ones who now know balsall now is the president chosen by the brazilian people so with all the differences we have i must work to improve relations between brazil and argentina the rivalry and friendship between brazil and argentina stretches back centuries to the spanish and portuguese colonial roots was. It can be this most intense on the football pitch brazil 5 times world champions argentina twice here in argentina the Foreign Ministry is doing its best to defuse the tension saying the polls are now as latest statements dont truly reflect the economic and commercial harmony that exists between the 2 countries brazil is now argentinas leading trading partner they share a 1200 kilometer long Border Movement across it severely restricted or both countries in their own ways fight the pandemic argentina is prioritizing Public Health over the economy. Is the economy is more important and has dismissed the virus is a small flu but the corona virus is all a learning doesnt respect borders in the the spanish or portuguese.
