But is controlled by Armenian Forces the region has declared itself independent and relies on i mean if a support. In an emergency parliamentary session the president a new going or karabakh declared martial law as well as military mobilization from innovating. 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 it had reports of an tin 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 especially when new players regional players are being dragged into. The disputed sound of the 1991 collapse of the soviet union when i mean in cypriot ists sees 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 question has been no longer want to negotiate according to the people like me had been trying to bring together between azerbaijan and armenia and he said theyre going to is always going to be part of armenia that has really saw very severe negative emotions in azerbaijan. 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 nicol no karabakh as their own shallop ballasts aljazeera well lets talk to robin forester walker whos following the story from tbilisi in georgia any clarity and i know thats difficult and one of these situations on the clarity of what led to this and who started it. Im afraid the answer is no. In terms of clarity its so difficult when when there is as much an information war is as a military one going on on the ground take for example azerbaijan shutting down the internet in terms of access to social media claims and counterclaims both sides saying the other one started it this morning what we do know is that there had been. Claims of a military build up on the is very side by the armenians in the days running up to this. Bellicose rhetoric from the president at the u. N. General Assembly Last week and i think a lot of observers people who know the reason well have been looking at whats been going on saying that the International Community has had its eye off the ball its been clear that since july when we saw that peak in that outbreak of violence in july 17 dead. The situation had not gone away and those talks to the International Peace talks by the u. S. By france by russia have really needed to kick starting the him i mean its that they wanted to go back to the table but azerbaijan always saying its correspondent then was saying in that report that nagornokarabakh had to be returned to as a territory so he controls so this looks like the is aries wants a war over Nicola Karabakh but claiming all along that armenians are responsible its a mess in terms of understanding whos to blame but what we have on the ground now is increasing numbers of dead 10 military personnel i mean is confirmed on their side all they care about administration saying 10000000 dead and he is very saying 2 words 12 plus civilians as well who casualties today thats already reaching those figures that we saw back in july. Place over a number of days so its a serious escalation today ok thank you for that robin foresty walker following events from tbilisi. Just a bit of background for you both armenia and azerbaijan have been locked in this territorial dispute for decades which emerged out of the collapse of the soviet union that was when armenian separatists seized the territory about 30000 people died in that fighting in 9094 there was a ceasefire agreed but theyve been several instances of fighting since as robin was referring to april 26th game for example when about 110 people were killed in the most serious fighting in years and then that most recent flare up in july earlier we heard from a c. E. O. Who is the assistant to the president of john and the head of Foreign Policy department at the president ial administration he says as opposed is in gauged in quote full scale war and its aim is to recapture territory occupied by a media. And we have seen also this scale up before what happened along the way are mean you need to live into a whos out of the border of 2 countries but armenia cuba can see billions of azerbaijan another question on force of the ozone warning again and a deliberate manner of the persian civilians and my president is a United Nations you know. What they are concentrating the troops to prepare it and we did. It happen today so your scripts are improviser army news from to action and aggression and our civilians are becoming targets or mean our own forces and we are going to want to move in other words units on the i thought it is of my job and therefore i was in our forces to in wisconsin action some counter attacks to repel armenians provocations and 1st acts of aggression and these which are an import armenian to peace because of this whole negotiation process is also failing because of the deliberate and destructive aptitudes of armenia conflict we dont have enough real negotiation buts and you can buy or things which are unimportant here 1st is an interest you to consider or possible to civilians who are living in close proximity to one conflict is an intent to ensure the variation of jobs a quantum on our musical question last month also to yours so the Un Security Council resolutions demand immediate unconditional israel army and troops so quiet that it is a cause of which are so quite simple implemented by armenia and they continue to talk of the chances and also listen if you choose an idea peace they have a right to return back to the assortments because of armenians location to convert them back. What were going to hear from the other side now. Is the foreign minister of mania on skype from foreign minister thank you for your time you heard there quite cleary clearly the a series saying that they wont stop until they their words liberate this territory theyre saying full scale war do you consider yourself to be in a full scale war now. What we have been hearing is exactly the choice of who all at the expense of the Peace Process that great goal of the peace negotiations but as i got you on the massive attack. In a pretty mouth in the previous i managed across the entire perimeter into wealth ringback even where i had contact between a surgeon and a corner about this morning being approved or the interactions or is that what you are. Looking for that are not Similar Solutions and aggressive manner it would be military square been consistently insisting that harder than a corner. Is a security or weak and they have once again little we have to care about the security or. The people who are going to grow up in our own but the expense of their freedom their security against this aggression and their aggression it is our preplan are not just part of that war dont make maps it support terror we share that its military presence and which is showing its new natural aggressive unit that will support support aggressive approach. Which is very very so thats a thats the opposite principle which i suppose you know thats what we should as it was. Also an escalation which they say you start that they actually say you attack 1st at 6 am but ill before. We did i totally reject this absolute leading information which is a matter that because i was young we had no into a chain of doing anything which would bring to emasculate i mean it has been there if i am going to his position that they said who shouldnt bring the people using mace 330. 00 on the street on the basis of a compromise we wouldnt do anything that would be against our. Intentions toward us as im as im saying the whole point is about the seat. Clark competitor its very current very resolute to defend themselves i mean remains at their resolute jarrett or their security. To go back to my sorry to interrupt this kind of stop this aggression and come to their senses we come back to the peaceful protests sorry to interrupt your foreign minister but in my original question i asked you are you in a position to actually stop them if they say they are going to go to full scale war and liberate this territory what position is armenia in to defend now going to about who you found every single inch of their land and all their security and i mean you will be together until they stretch of course has been there are you here in the parlance of the other general government and the end of the regime the latest being as United Nations General Assembly and brought this into practical implementation once again once again they would be a pharmacy you talked about negotiation about stepping back from the brink here how would you see that happening who would be the broker how would you step back from the brink here. There is an established form of the negotiations they seem to nationally recognized the full model which includes maybe always see a need to go chairmanship comprising russia the United States and france where in Constant Contact we are going to share creditors at all levels and were working towards the ways in which we can bring the whole situation back to normal to fully go through a process work to me to address whatever this shouldnt be confused with our we saw all in that were not proud about it you know i mean you have to defend ourselves in or were not good about it and you know me or the resolution has to be based on a compromise it maximalist position that has been calling out bottle all the theists has no no. Any room for. Negotiation in the negotiating process the Prime Minister or me and thats been consistently insisting that any physician should be acceptable to the people on the edge of the people that were going to write about and to the people are going to compromise basically not a solution where you dont need a dangerous theyre already declared well Just One Party that is totally richer than they were there has never reciprocated never reciprocated our coal for compromise solution but they have been operating for solution. And what we do we see now is the manifestation of this consistent with. The established mechanism which you talk about for discussions which is already in place can that bring in others weve got russia weve got iran weve got france all about a deescalation calling for deescalation immediately but youve also got turkey which squarely backs these areas and seem to be in more of a fight how much can the current mechanism deal with any further threat from any other player as well. A clarification doa seems means a group called chairmanship magnets is a cochairman ship of 3 countries comprising russia the United States and france but we need this negotiations if i say i do not use so you know determined to put the blame on arming it and im calling on as a budget to immediately accept the investigative machinations and the Risk Reduction machinations and also beijing i can use force if i about nations we have been insisting upon what so many of us and they have been rejecting it exactly to cover their intentions their better clothes and aggressive intentions and i dont have to engage in a blame game as theyre doing now if they want to be easy if they want the escalation they should have agreed and they can agree now on the mechanisms that we should strengthen the ceasefire and strengthen our. Production so this is our call again but this was totally rejected as a runner and this blame game that they are proposing that theyre trying to impose on us now to reject it theyre all responsible for what a dire situation that were having. And its knocking down is the foreign minister of a mania foreign minister we thank you very much for your time. Plenty more to come for you on this news on the table of how we will ask if the u. S. Is heading towards a constitutional crisis as President Trump announces his nominee to fill the vacant seat in americas highest court.

Fronto of the news in a prisoner swap deal has been finalized between yemens government and the hutu rebels the u. N. Special envoy to yemen says almost 1100. 00 prisoners are being exchanged immediately Martin Griffiths calls it an important milestone with compromise on both sides the swap deal was 1st agreed 2 years ago but its repeatedly stalled and is only partially been implemented 1081. 00 individuals would and indeed will represent the largest relief. Operation during the history of the conflict in the peaceful negotiations can succeed and they will succeed in bringing relief to the yemeni people and Building Confidence for the Peace Process. Following developments for us on this one hashem Martin Griffiths is talking like this is a big breakthrough whats your take on it especially from the start of the welcome or just been in touch with her thiis and with the government officials government Officials Say well the announcement is something the implementation is Something Else therefore they say they are going to wait to see the agreement implemented for them to be able to say ok finally we have some sense of a progress the whole thing is told me that they are looking into a few details before finalizing the whole thing it seems that the biggest challenge in the coming day days would be narrowing the differences or building bridges between the government and putting in play into place the logistics for the transportation of all the detainee of the prisoners from the north to the south where the Government Forces are station and vice versa towards her the territory. It is a Development Though isnt it hashem i mean there obviously at the talks in switzerland the u. N. Talks theyre trying to solve some very longstanding issues a war thats gone on for years but Something Like this does it help. Well it will definitely try to get a debate about how to move forward same talks took place in 2018 in sweden when the when the United Nations on voice martin gryphus were who was hoping to start a genuine political process that would put into place demarkation zone in and her data and the fighting in ties convince all the parties to start broader political talks now that political reality in 2018 doesnt exist in a more because what happened in between is the other secessionists in the south have taken control of the south president is more marginalized more isolated than ever he controls only very few areas in the south from his exile in saudi arabia her things are in control of much of the northern part of yemen the country is facing further disintegration more than 80 percent of the population is humanitarian assistance including 12000000000 tilden and many people have lost hope the International Community will be able to solve the crisis in yemen were talking about a very somber political reality in the country. There with the latest on the prisoner swap in yemen thank you journalists in hong kong are warning of a new threat to Media Freedom police have announced a new definition of what constitutes recognized media change follows chinas leaders imposing that controversial and widely condemned security law 3 months ago this report from asian brown in hong kong.

James insists she has a right to take pictures in public but now faces the prospect of a rest again if she does i just want to be there to take some picture to share with all my social media for thats it and then. I get a take and i get a rest and i get to take i dont know or maybe i just simply just being stuff i feel alice i miss everything. Hong kong police say they want to weed out what they say are selfproclaimed reporters who assault and obstruct offices so will only now acknowledge journalists who are registered with the government or from what it calls internationally recognized and renowned Media Outlets the police declined our request for an interview. Some of the most widely viewed images include those of a 12 year old schoolgirl being shoved to the ground by police these pictures were not filmed by the Mainstream Media though but by journalism students now say critics the police want to limit any negative coverage young reporter reporters.

S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and President Trump has officially nominated amy honey barrett to replace or a confirmation hearing could start as soon as october 12th and if confirmed barretts appointment would further consolidate a conservative majority on the court for decades this from kimberly how it. Was a highly anticipated nomination made official when u. S. President donald trump an announced her name judge amy coney 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 glass 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. But. The 28000 confirmation for Justice Brett kavanaugh was contentious republicans accuse democrats of a Smear Campaign against kavanaugh who fought off accusations of Sexual Assault during the hearings this time trump appealed for fairness and further her joy in members of the other side of the aisle to provide judge bat with a respectful and dignified hearing that she deserves and frankly that our country deserves the high stakes battle to confirm Amy Connie Barrett now moves to the Republican Controlled Senate the hearings are expected to move at a swift and unprecedented pace with republicans promising to confirm baret seat on the Supreme Court before the november 3rd president ial election kimberly health at aljazeera the white house we spoke to scotland cofounder of america unfiltered a News Analysis site focusing on u. S. Politics and Foreign Policy he explained 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 weeks far quicker than any process weve had in an Election Year is because donald trump wants the Supreme Court to protect him if you defies the outcome of the november sort of election in other words if you lose this 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 2017 he and his advisors fought for that for years through the courts and finally they got a limited victory in the Supreme Court which maintain some of the restrictions on largely on citizens of largely muslim countries now with an Amy Kone Barrett on the court who is much more in sympathy with those types of restrictions they can try to go farther and then when it comes to dhaka lets be very clear here weve got 700000 children of undocumented immigrants who are protected by a 2012 that rock obama 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 still says further you know farther to the conservative majority those immigrants or immediately at risk of being pushed out of the United States if a beret says they really dont belong here.

Shine a light on your Anti Corruption hero. Nominate now. Al jazeera where every. This is the news are from aljazeera these are the top stories azerbaijan says its captured 6 villages held by armenia in the disputed in the corner cut about region fighting is flared in the region russia the e. U. And france all calling for an end to hostilities a spokesman for the azerbaijan presidency has told aljazeera his countrys goal to retake all as Syria Territory controlled by the forces. And in just the past half hour i mean is the foreign minister has also spoken to us and says azerbaijan is committing preplanned aggression he insists his country wants dialogue and the conflict. This dispute between azerbaijan and armenia also involves a number of International Players russia 1st of all which has called for a cease fire and has taken a lead role as part of the minsk group as it is known to mediation and to the conflict that includes france in the United States. Ive been working on that since 1902 which should be said turkey which shares a border with armenia banks azerbaijan one of the 1st countries to recognize as about johns independence but it has a hostile relationship with armenia and turkeys president has called on armenians to take a stand against their government in light of the violence along the southern borders of azerbaijan and armenia youve got iran which has promised to help both sides the region is of course crucial for oil and gas and iran is keen to stability. So tanya is with us now International Crisis groups Senior Analyst for the south caucasus region shes on skype from tbilisi thank you for your time weve outlined who backs who there whose positions are i think the turks are possibly the most important certainly right now because they seem to be the most forthright and aggressive why are they being quite so forthright at the moment. Turkey has been supporting as a boy john for many years. It became more obvious skewering recent border question that declares in july 2020 and afterward many many mediators and many Foreign Countries try to find a will could survive with kind of tensions it didnt work and what we have been saying no always as collation that this happened then along the product line in the war in a carb a complex or it is the result of the failed attempts of the International Mediation to pacify the pensions that have been on the rise for weeks so that the minsk group that youre referring to there. Not the only way so russia trying to mediate also so many statements since Early Morning brussels was what i react if we saw statements from crones germany and others unfortunately no ways its of diplomas have been taken play police to the south caucasus since the pandemic and was probably one of the reasons why with International Diplomacy has been failing and no meetings between the Foreign Ministers or the leaders have been taken place in january with the another warning sign signal that led to the current tensions riots i was going to say to you is all this maybe not a surprise in the end there have been flare ups intentions in this area for some time but the fact its escalated so quickly now maybe not surprising given the failure of diplomacy for so long. Well you know there were many signals in the recent day that a coalition was come in does days ago i spoke to one of the foreign diplomats who said that no its just the matter of face we so a lot of hit retore especially in book or and of course read in a to take actions so it was obvious the something was growing and its no time to take urgent actions to seize while and and to contain need at least to the prompt line because we saw some attacks taking place in the civilian areas and with this some clean that everyone should be worried about because whizzes these means that we are just one step from a full fledged war in that region what other countries do expect to play a role like we mentioned there. Iran as well can it play. A broker role here. Russia is the main country that plays a very Important Role in mediation between their media and theres a by john for many here this and it is very important that russia know takes actions and not only at the level of the Foreign Ministry but at the highest possible level we havent seen any calls with the russian leader trying to mediate between arab and then a quote for months no notice of autonomy and from the International Crisis group in tbilisi thank you for your time we appreciate it now egypts president of the sisi has thanked people for not attending antigovernment protests he says its an attempt at destabilization after 7 consecutive days of demonstrations at least one person has died protesters are blaming sisi for corruption and poor living conditions. Lets look at coronavirus news now and the pandemic is approaching yet another milestone when we look at the latest figures from the Johns Hopkins university the number in whites approaching 995000 deaths it would be at a 1000000 soon with the u.

Brazil has suffered more than 140000 deaths in the covered 19 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. 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.

Its the 4th nights of her h. S. In louisville the curfew is just beginning there still plenty of people in the streets theres now a very real fear of arrest and there is more evidence to back up the reasons why there is such disbelief but no one in the grand jury decided to indict any of the Police Officers and the death. Taylor vice news is not its hands on the body count footage of the Police Officers who arrived at the scene Brianna Taylors death i want to chose once again is Louisville Police breaking its own rules they allowed the officers involved in the shooting to walk around freely around what is a potential crime scene to talk to other officers to talk amongst themselves none of this should be allowed because in any crime scene you dont want the potential potential suspect to be able to move evidence around to try to get their story straight no theres no evidence any of that happened but its yet another sign of the Louisville Police department breaking their own rules we know that they broke the rules in perhaps getting.
