Im joining us roscoe with the sports teenager. If it can end when the french open title and become partners 1st grand slam singles champ. 1500 hours g. M. T. And its been 5 hours since a cease fire officially came into effect in the disputed region of karabakh but both armenia and azerbaijan are accusing each other of violating the truce the as a remote tree released a video on saturday showing what it says is an Armored Vehicle. Destroyed for violating the agreements this ceasefire was announced by russia on friday following 10 hours of talks and allows both sides to Exchange Prisoners and recover bodies we have set up because of all who is standing by him in just a fear thats in azerbaijan 1st will bring in Bernard Smith bernard joining us from goras thats across the border in armenia so is the cease fire holding bernard its shaky this cease fire we were in step out of the main city of no go no karabakh earlier today and while we were there we heard shelling in the distance and there are accusations that both sides actually have breached the cease fire and they go in a car about 6 Defense Ministry is accusing azerbaijan of using the cease fire to ready itself for military action they said the only way to achieve real peace would be for the International Community to recognize nagornokarabakh as an independent republic that is an extremely unlikely prospect and we did hear of some shelling of a town called had dropped to the south of Nagorno Karabakh about whether with a lot of activity after the cease fire its suggested that because on friday. Because on saturday no on friday the presence of. It said that they had taken control d of how true it was shelling over today because in fact the town remains under our meaning control but its possible that theres areas may have taken some of the problems of control so what should we be looking out for next then. Well now it seems that theyre going to try and start talks again jury in this very shaky cease fire the challenge is though that after 26 years of the end of the cease fire and a bit of the cease fire 994. 00 as far as these areas will tell you the talks have got them nowhere to the status of Nagorno Karabakh has not been resolved and a good chunk of azeri territory that is still occupied by our media territory that our media took in that war that ended with a cease fire in 94 that is still in armenian hands and azerbaijan wants that back there are 2 separate things to be discussed nagornokarabakh and the territory that armenia currently occupies now the minsk group thats russia the United States and france over those 26 years has had meetings to try and resolve this it hasnt been resolved and thats the frustration as out of us about john and its now much more vocal and involved partner. All right so bernard thank you very much bernard giving us the update from armenia and lets now bring in some customer who she is joining us from azerbaijan and as ari diplomats in him have been speaking what have they been saying. Well there in both the foreign minister. And assistant to the. Present can buy them all and have a joint press brief today in the capital back you in the in the afternoon also are saying that the ceasefire. Was designed as a temporary ceasefire mainly for monetary and needs which are the when it is sending humanitarian aid to the unnecessary areas exchanging the bodies of the soldiers injured soldiers and some prisoners of war prisoners and International Red cross also said that theyre ready to. To watch this exchange of war prisoners as well they say that. If this is the last call for armenia basically this is what they say this is what the president also said yesterday so if. The Armenian Forces do not the withdrawal from the adjacent towns are very towns adjacent to not going up at a bar then there will be no cease fire their initial condition is that army and forces 1st withdraw from those provinces which are called drones and then in a calendar withdraw from the going to cut about whether they will withdraw from the going to rise that is a big question mark of course but this is the condition of their big job forces. Governments and they say that after the cease fire was in was in force are 1000000 forces violated the cease fire and for them this is the proof of the armenian governments support for see on the ceasefire this is basically what they have been saying but they say that if theyre attacked they will be retaliating but they will continue to sort this out sort of diplomacy because they believe that military solution military means actually brought armenia to the table ok so thats what the politicians have to say but what about the civilians do they feel like they want the ceasefire to succeed. Then we have been in the conflict area almost for 2 weeks then we have been in touch with people at the local residents plus the i. D. P. s the displaced people especially from regions like terrorists. Which has been which have been heavily on their fire by the Armenian Forces and those people have been displaced before back in the 990 s. Even some of them were displaced from inside out or mania because there are some hours there is who were born in armenia and when armenia as a state was established they had to be displaced to not go to knock out a bar and then from the going to azerbaijan and for instance we went to a place at a complex actually this was a special ability for the i. D. P. s finally they had the chance to settle down for the last 3 years but they were they were pushed out again basically theyre saying that they are out there fighting their own land they are they are fighting for their own land inside their own let so this is our legitimate right they say and by the way as a big jump but its never an ounce as the figures on the military losses neither on the 3 equipment nor is soldiers saw but we have we hear from them that there are many people who have been killed they call them martyrs thats why they believe that this should go on till the end until they are that is in their terms liberated so they believe that the ceasefire will not work it will only give time for our mania to especially flex the muscles and build up their own. Defense forces better within that time ok susan thank you very much for that reporting from azerbaijan. Well this is the most violent flare up the region has seen since the 2 former soviet republics went to war from 1981994 so what does each side have at its disposal take a look at the as a re army is bigger than armenias as of asia 66000 active troops to armenia just 45000. Also has the advantage when it comes to weapons who can field over 600 tanks compared to armenians 500 armenia doesnt have its own Fighter Aircraft and relies on the protection of a Russian Air Force group as a rage on is stronger in the air with fighter jets and more attack aircraft as well as helicopters but its drone warfare that appears to be shaping the battlefield this time as a beige on has openly bragged about its use of advanced turkish drones both sides have been amassing their own fleets though the exact numbers are unknown lets talk about this with germany that moment over who is a regional analyst for the caucasus region shes joining us from london thanks very much for your time so why is it that drone where for fair shaping the battlefield this time around. I would say just the drones i think we have to im stumped as a by john has been prochoice saying weapons from israel turkey which is a nato country and russia for the last i would say 30 years especially from russia which means that the weaponry that we have seen on the ground in the horn of karbala and in the surrounding areas are not the weapons that about john per chase 2 weeks ago. So its not even turkish involvement if you will in this conflict militarily wouldnt affect the balance of power either because as your wonderful reporting just mentioned there by johnny army has been much more well pat its much more numerous and it had a great support again both russia and israel have been providing cell in question regarded by john so im personally not surprised about whats going on on the ground and about its very advanced and what about armenia how would you describe armenias military capabilities and in the context off this conflict thats going on and where does it get its support clearly without russias support for i mean yeah. I dont think i mean i would be able to even stay in the conflict zone because we have seen reports about clearly civilian population living somewhere knickerbocker now and the areas where the shelling has been taken place and clearly russia is supporting armenia by providing this weapons to go free. And but even that would not i would say significantly change the balance on the ground if our media wants to seriously advance i suppose without more russias clearance in the home it would be able to do so. Ok. You say you seem to suggest that azerbaijan definitely has the military prowess spent on the ground so will the fact that it has a military advantage then shape the outcome of any potential talks. It definitely shifted the potential ready and i think in many ways the fact that russia putin both sides and invited both ministers to moscow. Clearly see that clearly. As a by john made certain advancements and russia is the only country which managed to bring 2 parties at the negotiation table but again i would suggest that it happened predominantly because of a by johnny advancement because for the last 30 years to be honest we havent seen them negotiating of the same on or at least now i think armenia is more prepared for certain concessions would have to see where what concessions would live biggest at the moment its clearly a very difficult to see. If armenia really wants to withdraw 2 the troops at least from the territories that are the bush on has again it seems to me that they start there but they still want to. Continue fighting on those territories as well and im talking about. The region which has been forgiven by the by john and also if you but it is our have also seen the reports of armenians basically shelling other towns and as a bike shop which doesnt signal to me and to this mall ok well leave it there we thank you very much for speaking to us from london thank you my pleasure thank you. There with the news on aljazeera heres whats coming out. Calling for a dialogue with china but on equal terms taiwans president vows to strengthen defenses and her national day address.

But 1st north korea has displayed what are believed to be a previously unseen Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles it happened during a parade marking the 75th anniversary of the Ruling Workers Party reports from seoul. An impressive show of force through the streets of pyongyang this parade down usually held at night time adding to the sense of drama no social distancing a no masks in sight so liberating the countrys continued claims to be free of coronavirus visibly moved leader kim jong un praised his countrys efforts in keeping the virus out. Im really grateful that not a Single Person is infected we managed to protect the people from this contagion. North korea has also been hit by devastating typhoon and summer rains damage that kim is reported to have taken personal charge in dealing with and its exacerbated the ongoing effects of sanctions and effectively being cut off from the outside world came needed this show of strength in the context he want to use to teach his as he want to show up here. Well neither it is necessary for the kingdom leadership tour or sure of the educated and just north korean population and that things will eventually be ok this parade showcased what are thought to be new missiles and transporters with the star of the show whats claim to be a newly developed into continental Ballistic Missile its a reminder that in spite of denuclearization talks with the Us North Korea has continued to expand its arsenal in recent years future relations between the United States and north korea might be on hold until after the u. S. Election but south Korea Remains optimistic it can still achieve closer into korean ties thats despite a number of setbacks in recent months. Souring relations culminated in the destruction of a Liaison Office by north korea in june and the cutting of communication hotlines between the north and south but kim says he still holds hopes of reconciliation so no you cant but i wish the best for the people in the south in a fast recovery from the pandemic so that we can hold hands together sue him also apologize for failing to meet his peoples expectations and a sign of humility not often exhibited by a north korean leader. The country may be suffering from problems on many fronts but none of that was on show on this night of Mcbride Al Jazeera so. Taiwans president says shes willing to hold talks with china if theyre on an equal basis speaking at the National Day Celebrations tying wayne said shes open to a meaningful dialogue with beijing and hopes regional tensions can be resolved peacefully typical pollen this report from hong kong. Taiwan National Day Celebrations taking place at a time of rising tensions with neighboring china. But rather than showcasing the islands military might it was used as an opportunity to open the door to dialogue with beijing. They will want to go i wonder as long as the authorities in beijing are willing to resolve antagonisms and improve cross street relations while maintaining parity and dignity if were willing to Work Together to facilitate meaningful dialogue. President sighing whens National Day Speech held both veiled and pointed messages for china and even the offer to start talks came with conditions that beijing should treat taiwan as an equal and listen to thai peace concerns trying to is not going to accept any concept or framework that taiwan proposed which is not identical to what china wants as as nice as it sounds for president sides that we want her already and might starve or reasonable to those of us outside the region for chinas leadership there really isnt much room to deviate from their stated position beijing cut off official contact with taiwan after thai was 1st elected in 2016 relations deteriorated further when she want to 2nd term with a promise to preserve the island sovereignty the president s commended the taiwanese forces and stressed the importance of stepping up the islands military capabilities in the face of increased aggression from beijing to the us again for some time now harassment by air and sea from the other side has raised tensions in the Taiwan Strait but our National Military has closely monitored the situation and responded promptly achieving their defense mission. China has ramped up military pressure on taiwan in response to washington strengthening support of taipei the us is taiwans main ally although it has no formal alliance but it sells the island weapons 13000000000. 00 worth over the past 4 years china considers taiwan to be part of its territory which one day will be reunified with the mainland so taipei has no right to participate in International Diplomacy and due to pressure from beijing only 15 countries now have official diplomatic ties with the island but taiwans International Standing has grown steadily over the past few months due to its twist in effective battle against the corona Virus Outbreak. The National Day Celebrations were scaled back due to the pandemic president s i devoted much of her speech to the success of taiwans response to the virus and took it as an opportunity to highlight that its an example of the islands resilience and ability to defend itself if you go palin 0 Hong Kong Hong kong police have arrested 9 people suspected of helping prodemocracy activists who attempted to flee to taiwan the dozen activists have been held in the Southern City of shenzhen since august thats when they were intercepted by chinese authorities their families held a protest on thursday accusing the police of lying about the circumstances around their capture and neighboring mccollough a World Press Photo exhibition featuring images from hong kongs antigovernment protests has been shut down without any explanation the shows organizers expressed regret over the closer media reports suggest it could be because of political pressure from beijing the citys press Association Says macau is facing a worrying episode of erosion for freedom and expression an exhibit showing images of the square massacre was banned earlier in the year kurdistans parliament has named a new Prime Minister is strengthening the president s grip on power there has been political upheaval since last weeks disputed parliamentary elections earlier the former president.
