Accusations of. The at. The end of. The latest cease fire between azerbaijan and armenia is crumbling after just 2 days as a by john is accusing armenia of killing at least 21. 00 civilians and wounding dozens more in strikes close to the disputed region of my god. The attack in the city of bada is he dead the civilian since fighting sought as a month ago between the 2 countries denies the attacks which come a days after the u. S. Brokered a humanitarian truce or residents of bada told they suffered hours of intense shelling. Has more from azerbaijans capital. It was the worst attack on civilians since this round of hostilities began now the latest number is still stands at 21 dead but more than 70 injured and as we understand it some are in very Critical Condition this comes on the back of 4 other people who died on tuesday evening including an infant not very far from barda city in a village nearby the authorities here were quick to condemn that attack president ilham aliyev himself said that the response will come back will be on the battlefield and aides to the president said that the armenians had used cluster smersh long range missiles to hit the city of bard today and the army is saying that this still trying to figure out the extent of the damage that has been done but we as we understand that there has been several civilian infrastructures that were hit too. And rory challenge has a view from armenias capital yerevan. Today obviously has been a grim day the worst for civilians it seems in this conflict so far the armenians have denied they attacked shelves but the pictures obviously tell a different story the all medians are saying that it is they who have been the victim of shelling today and i care about that the capital the main city and theyre going to care about stuck on a kurtzs being attacked and that the main hospital there has been badly hit particularly the maternity wing of it no casualties as far as were aware in that incident but they have also said the armenians that. The city of shushi has been attacked as well and that one civilian died in that rocket attack i think recording it and who were injured now. Saying that this is a continuation of what hes calling a genocidal policy against the civilians of going to care about the armenians of nagornokarabakh perhaps this is the kind of thing that we might see more of as as as both sides get increasingly invested increasingly desperate perhaps that attacks on civilian centers are going to increase as well.

The u. S. President ial candidates are making their final push to win over voters with just under a week to go until the election crisscrossing the country campaigning in battleground states more than 70000000 americans have already voted a record that could lead to the highest voter turnout in a century i can has our report from washington. A final frenetic week of campaigning before election day President Trump doing a swing through 3 of the states with polls indicate hes neck and neck with joe biden wisconsin michigan and the brusca attempting to remove one issue from the agenda at the beginning of the day tweeting Fake News Media is going full on. We are rounding the turn 99. 9 percent. And hes attempting to reset the conversation around an economy he claims to have revived its troubled lead the number one reason that im standing here because of trade and how we turn that around. 7 days from now were going to win the great state. Were going to win for 4 years in the way. But joe biden kept the discussion sent to done what he describes as a trumpet ministrations failure to deal effectively with the pandemic this administration has yet to offer a single plan thats one of the reasons why the most one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world the new england journal of medicine call the president quote dangerously incompetent went on to say president turned a crisis into a tragedy im ready that act. I know what to do. Biden spent the day in georgia which polls indicate has come strongly into play for the Democratic Party its been a solidly republican state for decades but full clinton the last democratic candidate to take it back in 1992 the fact that democrats believe theres a chance of biden winning it is a clear sign of how the traditional electoral landscape is changing another good sign for the Democratic Party is the massive number of votes that have already being cast close to 70000000. 00 americans have already voted thats more than a hof the number of total ballots cast 4 years ago but the Biden Campaign warns against complacency traditionally use republicans who cost the most votes in person on election day effect that could still tilt the balance mike hanna aljazeera washington and live now to our White House CorrespondentKimberly Hackett soaking believe the final stretch just 6 days to go now and the campaigns are focusing on the key battleground states.

S. President donald trump where he will be holding to make America Great again rallies so 70000000 votes have already been cast says mike said in this report and thats more than half of the overall turnout in 2016 what could that mean for results the actual results on election day. Well it doesnt look good for donald trump already his rival joe biden is leading in National Polls and of wisconsin a battleground state as well as narrowly in michigan and the fact that there is this surge of early voting which tends to favor joe biden as well as among young voters this is certainly trouble for donald trump but he says the polls were wrong in 2016 and expects will be running again in 2020 so can be for people who havent made up their minds yet you know in the last week what may sway them you think well the problem is there are many undecided voters so theres very little that will sway them and thats a problem for donald trump because he believes that he would be able to hold these large scale rallies and that they he could with the undecided voters as he didnt 2016 but again with so many early ballots already cast their very few undecided voters left thank you for that committee how can live for us at the white house.

Secretary of state in that address talking about that sort of predator kind of role that china as he sees it is playing in sri lanka where he says that the u. S. Comes as a friend now china has also been responding because right at the outset before the secretary of state came to south asia there were obviously briefings and one of the Principal Deputy assistant secretaries in his briefing said that the urge to make some difficult decisions but necessary ones to ensure and secure economic independence obviously china took umbrage to that responded saying that the u.

There is International Outcry over a possible plan by japan that could see radioactive water released into the ocean as on the focus plant where engineers continue to deactivate reactors damaged in the 27 earthquake and tsunami rob mcbride reports from south korea where communities are worried about possible radioactive. Lead junko and his son lemo yall this is a Family Business thats been built up over 30 years a fish farm i learned a community that is heavily dependent on these waters. In these seas the fishing industry is important both fishing and fish farming we have both here demand for their fish was already suffering because of the pandemic and the postponement of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics has meant japanese fish farms have been dumping unwanted stock onto the open market further driving down prices but its what might be coming next from japan that has everybody worried at the Fukushima Nuclear plant steadily increasing rows of tanks now hold more than a 1000000 tonnes of mostly groundwater that has flowed into the site becoming radioactive with Storage Space due to run out in 2022 theres growing speculation it might be released into the ocean. I think we cant hold off making a decision on the policy forever we will take us a part of the government to make a decision on how to dispose of the contaminated water soon as possible japan insists the water is treated to remove the most harmful radiation and that it is safe enough to release a claim disputed by environmentalists and it sparked strong opposition in northeast asia especially been known for we hope that the japanese government will act with a high since of responsibility towards its own people neighboring countries and the International Community in rupie.
