Theyre president s of france russia and the u. S. Issued a joint statement deploring the loss of life in the disputed region and called for the warring parties to resume talks armenia says its recalled its ambassador to israel for consultations over is really arms sales to azerbaijan Robin Forrester walker reports. The spoils of move shown by as a very Public Television of a 1000000 tanks and other hardware proof the army says of terror truth taken in the disputed account by. All of those really believing our need to learn from the enemy we see several pieces of enemy heart of them to our military bases currently the fighting continues we are liberating our lands from occupation move videos released on thursday show the unrelenting destruction from the air drones targeting a 1000000 guns and military convoys the region is officially part of as a by germany but its run by separatist medians. It has taken 6 days for World Leaders to jointly call for armenia and azerbaijan to return to peace talks known as the minsk process with a warning from french president emmanuel mccrone the turkey to cease its involvement in the conflict this is a pretty dont we have information today that is very clear that indicates that fighters from syria have left there they are members of jihadist groups and they traveled via gaziantep to join the fighting in the corner karabakh turkish president richard Tayyip Erdogan has pledged azerbaijan his countrys full support and says the time for 26. 00 is over. Given that these 3 mints countries the us russia and france have neglected this problem for nearly 30 years its unacceptable that they are involved in a search for a ceasefire in the face of these negative developments that came to surface in recent days but if something is wanted the invaders should leave these lands in order to achieve a solution the true gains or losses being made on the battlefield and you know this Armenian Military video suggests its forces are resisting and in some cases retaking lost positions but what is known is that the violence continues to injure and kill civilians in the town of marjah on thursday as ery shelling a few 102 french journalists from the moment one is now Critical Condition for a steelworker which is here lets speak to balance our reza whos a senior associate with the center for strategic and International Studies is joining us from washington thanks for your time with us on aljazeera so turkey is being accused by france of sending in syrian minute mercenaries to fight in azerbaijan if these allegations are true oh what a facilitated this and why. Well you know turkey has cooperated with the Syrian Opposition groups in syria supported them against them. And theres evidence that they yachts supported. Turkish interventions in the last year in 3 different areas and there is also being evidence that they have been shared across. You know if you fight against the forces. In support of the government in tripoli. The interest in me in libya they were fighting against. Russians who had been brought in as mercenaries to fight on the side of house there and in addition to the denying that you get a sense there are syrians going to. Despair going to fight in turkey has a chance for excuse me ill bring the turkish fighter its so i mean this is one part of the story and its interesting that the media is actually has come contrivance with president bush and michael personally who has been involved in a few with the president i dont for some time about these 2 minutes or anyone including a person that you actually say she is which of course in their own hands and also its on the right but would this be a shift in turkish policy when it comes to as our base on if indeed these mercenaries have been sent and because in the past the turkey has always said that the conflict must be resolved peacefully but now it seems to be much more involved allegedly. Well it certainly provided military aid its criteria advises and as president they are going in a speech at the opening of the search documents they can from turkeys backing us that rage on a fully in its desire to recover the the last which should be noted by the armenians for 25 years now i do not expect this fighting to to escalate. And to join turkey even true. Because ultimately i think the russians have been waiting for a while will do what theyre always done with our society yes which is to use their instruments not just in iran but also in what coup in the context of the misc group that you reported mentioned to actually bring them to say well i didnt expect a worse thing but also the respective resolutions about how much our side is there for a ceasefire at this point because both sides appear to be digging in. I think i think we should treat that we have been just salt. You know in the in the middle of the fighting both sides will say that they will continue to fight until they choose their goals president and yes i was there by john its again said that today but you know this isnt the story of this unfortunate conflict its not only referred to as the present culture once in a while you warms up and then it freezes again without reservation all right well leave it there but we thank you very much for joining us from washington and.

Since the pandemic began brunells has more from los angeles. The house went ahead and voted largely along party lines there was some fairly acrimonious debate but now that the bill has to go to the senate and Senate Leader republican leader Mitch Mcconnell has indicated that hes not interested in it so it may not go any further than this so why well we dont know for sure one possibility is political posturing the democrats wanting to say that theyve passed something in the midst of this crisis because people are being hurt by the lack of a stimulus and relief package you know this legislation among other things which would give cash to state and local governments it would give money to Unemployed People on a weekly basis the democrats want 600. 00 the republicans want 400. 00 also includes hundreds of billions of dollars for schools and testing for covert 19 and tracing Contact Tracing and also and also rent assistance and Food Assistance protests have taken place across india over the gang rape and death of 2 women from the marginalised ballots Community Rights groups say india is one of the worlds most dangerous places for women with a rape occurring every 15 minutes sara reports that.

You separate cases have reignited protests across several states and online demanding justice for victims of Sexual Violence. The father if he yochi at atlanta cant protect women that its better that he should voluntarily step down and resign he cant run the government. If the Uttar Pradesh government is on the womens side then why of rapes happening every other day every other day there are sexual assaults and other crimes happening to women we will teach this government a lesson not only did both women live in the same state but they were also both from the daleks community marginalized being at the bottom of indias deeply entrenched cost system despite laws protecting what was formerly known as the untouchables they face daily discrimination for generations so those socalled main dimensions those ideas regards those actual violence against a custom woman as a serious issue but when it happens to or a low cost woman they are trying to predict their past just in the past right now not coming out as you would want for an upper class woman for instance in the us her head was used she was brutalized she was in the hospital but she was not given to build proper medical care the issue of Sexual Violence against women has been under the spotlight in india since the 2012 gang rape and murder of a woman in delhi which led to huge nationwide protests and changes to the countrys great pools but this time protesters say its hasnt been enough to protect these 2 women enter to pradesh so to hire that aljazeera.

War. Hello again the top stories on aljazeera armenia says it shot down 4 hostile drones that appeared near the capital year of on the outs as its conflict with us are beige and over the speed of nagornokarabakh region continues for a 5th day as a rain forest has also claimed to have shot down an armenian drug. Us house of representatives has passed the democrats 2. 00 trillion dollars over 1000. 00 relief bill it now moves to the u. S. Senate where its unlikely to pass as republicans oppose it politicians have disagreed for months over the size and scope of the relief package protests have taken place across india over the gang rape and death of 2 women in the marginalised ballots Community Rights groups say india is one of the worlds most dangerous places for women with a rape occurring every 15 minutes. Its been 3 years since saudi journalist she was murdered inside his countrys consulate in istanbul a coalition of human Rights Groups have been urging mayors of the worlds major cities to boycott a summit being hosted by saudi arabia. Has more from istanbul. Despite it being one of the most notorious crimes in recent history to years have gone by and still justice has not been served in the murder case well Jamal Khashoggi 24 months on the focus on the saudi journalist who entered his countrys consulate in istanbul never to be seen again may have died down but the outrage remains. Had been writing for the Washington Post the 1st anniversary of his murder was marked in a high profile vigil attended by the posts owner and the worlds richest man jeff bezos a monument was placed just yards from the saudi consulate store a place for people to pay their respects for the sling journalist who was not afforded even the rights for a proper burial a saudi official still refused to disclose the whereabouts of his body. Or his remains. Colleagues this years anniversary is being marked with the launch of the organization which will she was setting up before he was killed dawn or democracy in the arab world now it was this type of work his advocacy for freedom and pluralism that earned him the wrath of Saudi Crown Prince mohammed bin son man jamal was perhaps the arab worlds most famous political exile in saudi arabia try to silence we will give a voice to thousands like him struggled for change in their countries. While his friends and colleagues have succeeded in continuing his legacy through the launch of drone theres been little success in their fight for justice after initially denying they killed him saudi arabia then pushed the narrative that the journalist was murdered by what they described as a team of rogue agents us not to america manages a video it took months before any form of Court Proceedings began and even then they lacked any form of integrity or transparency in december 2019 a saudi Court Sentenced 5 unnamed people to death and 3 others to prison for the murder but those sentences were commuted 3 weeks ago in what the United Nations special envoy on extrajudicial killings described as the antithesis of justice meanwhile turkey says its committed to holding those responsible for the murder 2 accounts on thursday the Prosecutors Office said it was indicting 6 more saudi citizens in their ongoing case the latest names include true consulate staff. Crown Prince Mohammed bin some man who is believed to have ordered the murder appears to have weathered the fall out hes still very much in power and World Leaders continue to do business with him but even in his death Jamal Khashoggi remains a foreigner in his side and one that could prove to be even more damaging still draw. The stumble. Earlier my colleague Maryam Namazie spoke to the u. N. Special operator on extrajudicial summary or arbitrary executions agnes calmar and she says the International Community must act together to prevent cases like the murder of a from happening again. I think we need to ensure that we do not get our service held hostage by the inner dick or seas of the saudi Justice System it was clear from the start that it would be very difficult to get justice for jamal given the fact that the Justice System in saudi arabia is so plan to political many pollution it is incumbent upon other actors but to get only outside saudi arabia to put pressure and to do all they can to ensure that accountability is delivered now we know that it will be very difficult to get those who ordered the crime in front of a court. If indeed it is mohamed bin salman as a cia as suggested more than a year ago that said there are all other ways of ensuring that at the very least choice is being delhi verd and that the very least saudi arabia feel the pressure political i dial that here can i ask you dr khalil are it doesnt seem as though they are feeling any pressure has the lack of justice and accountability in this case sort of led to some kind of normalization in the way extrajudicial killings a viewed a you worry that Something Like this could happen again. Well of course i am always worried that there will be more targeted killings particularly of johnny store human rights defenders but allow me to point out that actually there has been a heavy reaction to. The killing of gemma cashel get under a number of steps have been taken by a range of activists including some of them and the state just last week 33 countries adopted a result hughson condemning saudi arabia for the killing of jemaah casualty and the imprisonment of the woman human rights defenders weve been the Civil Society sector a number of actions been taken International Media ive kept investigating the killings there is not one move that mohammed bin simon can do we have done him of general cashel good beings on a team we know that for a long time long before the killing of a market. That the human rights agenda or the International Level as a whole is very politicized its a hold on to the power play in power politics about how difficult does that make your work. Of course it makes it extraordinarily difficult the whole environment at the moment is one of normative counterrevolution its one of the several countries distracting the International System and other countries fighting over which is gone no dominate the contras cannot be trusted to to keep hammering those messages and to put pressure on those who dont so we are we are working in an extraordinarily difficult and environment that there is absolutely no doubt this is why i think when action taken we need to highlight doors and we need to push for more ive talked about the actions taken by the mayor of many cities im haskin for more to do that ive mentioned the u. S. Congress taking a very strong stand on a bipartisan basis im calling on other parliaments around the world to do the same it is time now that we move from seeking accountability for generale to seeking accountability for all the journalist that are threatened by their governments need. To adopt cashel dissensions in other words whenever a country a government is threatening john at least ease of violating the rights of johnnies by detaining them or by indeed killing them individual sanctioned cashel the sanction should be imposed on individuals even at the highest level. Egyptian activists are calling for further protests against president opting for the his sissy under the slogan friday of anger there are inferior across the country after Police Reportedly shot and killed a man while making an arrest in southern Egypt Security forces have been deployed in large numbers as follows nearly a week of protests in several cities over the worsening economy and rampant corruption you have on him is all jazeera as middle east analyst he says this concern for the government has been rapidly growing in egypt Southern Region they have grown over hundreds of years this culture of personal vendetta that that that part of the country and its population have been neglected over the dk i mean no Development Nothing they will lift it was abject poverty and they have been taking care of themselves for decades and thats why they are indifferent to whats happening in the rest of the country but now when be thought it is when the police force they adopt such violent violent means to deal with those that part of the population they feel personally insulted and im afraid whats coming up is going to be worse the European Union is launching legal action against the u.

Over its bricks it plans it says the current bill going before British Parliament would violate International Law in relation to trade rules in Northern IslandsPrime MinisterBoris Johnson has admitted it breaks the rules but says its necessary to protect jobs and the integrity of the u.

Like my prey has for the last 3 decades since fleeing her home in memory chaos state she readies for her day of selling handwoven fabrics to tourists after her parents died and with no work nor land to cultivate she left for a better life in thailand but that living had been brought to a halt because of cope with 19. She lives in a village with others from the korean hill tribe made famous by brass rings the women wear around their necks giving them the nickname the long necks. They make their livelihood in tourist villages posing for photos and selling crafts while most of the men work with elephants at nearby camps. Tourist hill tribe villages in elephant camps are viewed by many human and animal Rights Groups as exploitive but its one of the few ways the hill tribes people can make a living like the other ethnic hill tribes in thailand generations of korean have been fighting for thai citizenship my play has been waiting 15 years let me close by i guess nobody is helping me i want to get citizenship i tried so many times but they say im too old the ethnic hill tribes are some of the most marginalized people in thailand theyre decades long battle for citizenship now coupled with Economic Hardship because of the pandemic their meagre earnings from tourists have been decimated not teach also fighting for citizenship realizes the pandemic has slowed the process shes willing to cut her losses but can. I think of leaving if the borders but they arent open now. On jai fled fighting between armed groups and the Government Forces in myanmar shan state in the 1980 s. Hes also seeking citizenship and is part of a group helping others to do so. Since they are not making money its tough for them to pay for expenses like travel this means they are unable to pursue their citizenship local immigration Officials Say that even in the best of times its a slow process to investigate cases due to understaffing. Many who cross over dont have passports or birth certificates in the current villages district normally 500. 00 cases will be processed monthly because of covert 1000. 00 at most 20 per month are completed. So the korean long necks hope and wait for more people to come and see them at least giving them the chance to earn some money while they wait its not harder aljazeera made time hi lynn. My.
