Estimate comedians have been living the 4 generations azerbaijan and media have fought to, was sparked by this dispute. Most recently in 2020, but after a sudden as about johnny offensive this week, kind of buck fighters have agreed to this. Um, as it by johns government says they will have a choice to stay or to leave these. I agree on his thoughts and is not using force. It is simply they should be said they should.

Years of lensky has been meeting both republican and Democratic Leaders and congress or white house correspondent, kimberly healthcare has more ukrainian president Vladimir Zalinski made a whirlwind visit to washington, culminating in his speech at the national archives. There is not a soul in ukraine that does not feel gratitude to you. Americans, ukrainian leaders message to officials in washington. Take you early on, capitol hill. You craze. Counter offensive against russian forces. Is that a critical juncture . And now is not the time to curve support. Since the start of rushes, evasion, the United States has provided more than a 135000000000 in a to ukraine. Now, the white house is asking congress to approve 25000000000 more. That request is contentious, especially among conservatives. I dont support additional funding for ukraine. My view is we need to number one, take care of our folks 1st. Still President Joe Biden confirmed us abrams tax we deliver to ukraine by next week. A new aid package consisting of ammunition, rocket launchers and anti armor systems. Totally 345000000 was all also announced on thursday. But his zaleski sat down in the oval office for his 6 face to face meeting with bided.

Ukraine leaders request may also be overshadowed by a battle over Government Spending in the us congress. Democratic and republican lawmakers face an end of the month deadline to approve domestic funding or phase of potential government shutdown. Kimberly help hit l g 0, the white house and we return to our top story. Now, the aftermath of the conflict over to go to kara back were joined by our guest, this our tom deval. Youre a senior fellow at Carnegie Europe and a specialist on the cox this region. You are joining us from london today. Look, id like to start with your assessment. We are now 48 hours after the Ethnic Armenians in the corner of carol, back sign that cease fire with us are based on where do you think things stand now . Is it possible to say, as of azerbaijan, up to 3 wars in these mountains, has decisively one and will be in control of this area Going Forward . Yes, i think we can definitely say that as a by john has, has one fundable military victory over the medians. Of colorado, i think we can say that theyve got that troops on the ground from the car buses, obviously talking to them, which is good, but then talking to them pretty much as a defeated on to you on, on tons of surrender. So i think the focus now really is on, on what happens to the people on the ground, on the humanitarian situation and what kind of rights if any, they enjoy it all again when they have this as a by john, the military presence. Now the, the well, so the ethic armenians in the regions say theyre skeptical of what the us are by john is saying that their rights will be guaranteed your thoughts. Yeah, i mean, i think, and i think they are skeptical with some, with some good justification. You know, we should, we should say in context that there was also the Un Security Council session on this conflict yesterday. And that went to a lot of the mom has expressed particularly by western countries about the future of, of the kind of mediums. But like in state and that theyve learned little coats on, on as a by john, for example, to, to left in supplies which they havent done months. But lets again, small amounts. But people are basically on bring to find the best to we have to remember, this is a concept that goes by decades of the car box medians. And i have not been compromised by john. They built up to our institutions. They dont even speak the language. And then now being told that in the auction early as possible, we integrate into it as a by johnny state, which means dismantling everything. They have an adult surprisingly, i think with that without any international guarantees, they look on that with some along skepticism. Many of them is not, you know, bizarre to them. I think may be forced to flee to media. And what would this re integration look like on the ground as well . Um, obviously the talks on is going through a, as by john, the president said that they would enjoy educational co, true religious rights. But they mention of Political Rights and course about john is that one party stays no. So youre gonna have questions. Would they be able to keep that t b space and then go on them and do interviews in the median language . Critical of the as a by john the president , i think think so. So typically is the sort of questions which i me to think has to be honest, if were talking about the integration of i mean and then to the asked by john the state. Okay. Talk to us about the position of the armenian Prime Minister, nicole pushing and hes come under intense pressure lately. And protesters in yerevan have been accusing him of essentially abandoning estimate. Armenians. He said, he said hes willing to have them in our media for them to relocate to armenia, but his priority right would be for them to stay where they currently live in the going to count back. Well the background to this obviously is the 2020, which i mean yeah, lots to does us display to as a bunch im and basically since then, i mean is have no control ready either this tired tree again, control speed by rushing, keep peacekeepers and go to moscow, so those are criticism, but in a position hes typing, which is basically to say that a medium there longer hesitate territorial claims about car box. But that was a position to, to come to international to rest of western powers of russia. Basically telling him that he had to accept the territorial integrity by the, by john, but she did. So hes under a lot of pressure. But interesting, a lot of pressure now coming from russia because of the kind of progress the term is taking. So a constant russian, so can you point to the payment is, is that the median the suffering . Because patching in pencil, bandon is Good Alliance regression. Right. Tom deval, a senior fellow according to europe. Thank you for joining us this hour. Okay, thank you. Or any more head on this house, is there a news hour . Well have a 2nd months of peaceful protests in syria where residents and sway to our fed up with the governments handling of a flailing economy. And much needed international 8 or why is for the flooded hit Eastern Region of libya also in sports posts france score 14 tries against the maybe as they record the biggest. When of the Rugby World Cup so far, the story as president bashar assad, his med president choosing ping during the 2nd day of his visit to china. Earlier, he visited a temple in the city of hugginsville, which is hosting this year is asian games. Aside is expected to attend the opening ceremonies. His visit is being seen as a bid to end a more than a decade of diplomatic isolation under western sanctions. Or for more on this that speak to katrina you whos live in beijing for us. Katrina, what announcements have there been in this trip so far . Well, following this meeting with siege and pain, both sides have announced that theyve crated. What they say is a china syria Strategic Partnership, which both live taylor the milestone. And the 67 years of diplomatic ties. Now, closing she here, he says, in the face of an unstable and Uncertain International environments, china is willing to continue working with syria. That was of the was of the chinese president of goals that International Environment that hes referring to. Is this boss west and condemnation of the side. Many us us as leaders. Yeah. Us allies have a accuse aside of atrocities including against his own people and subsequently employ. Its very heavy sections on syria. Now, what does the Strategic Partnership mean . Well, we can look to vague things, relationship with moscow and other Strategic Partnership that it has also held. And what it seems to mean is that this is not a formal allied relationship with our security obligations. It means that they will deepen corporation so long is as mutually beneficial and despite disapproval from other countries in the west. Now this is going to be seen as a big win for us side was who is ending his decade long diplomatic isolation. Earlier this year and named syria was reinstated to the arab league. And i thought had managed to be welcomed by several middle eastern leaders. But certainly this being welcomed and finding this do would present even things leader of the worlds 2nd Largest Academy will be seen as a big boost is a p r image. Katrina, its easy to see the benefit of all of this for a shorter side, as we said trying to break the isolation that has been under whats in it for china though as well. China is in working this the, its really expand its influence in the middle east and broke it a deal between saudi arabia and a ron in march. Its propose a peace deal between how the site in israel its welcome some middle eastern nations into the china dominated bricks roofing. And also syria is seen as strategically potentially important for aging, given its location and its access to the mediterranean sea. But really, what weve seen here was also what a message that she didnt think is sending to the International Community say that we do not play by your rules as she jumping, as welcome several leaders, including assets, who have been very much done by the west, the those welcome venezuela need to the do row as well as the iran you for him. Right . You see, and weve seen during this trip that they going to go further and deepening their friendship, some a deal that theyve signed it today. Corporation on the belgian Road Initiative that syria joined up to last year at china says its going to support syria when it comes to intern. Uh, its internal political situation supported improving its relationships with other arab nations and supported in Counter Terrorism and personally for a sod page and also says hes going to help with the reconstruction. And thats something, sir, youre really needs given its economic price. Its really hoping that china will help in rebuilding its economy, although there are questions about the extent to whether to which paging is willing to do that. Given how unstable the situation is in syria and those suppressed and sanctions that aging is also quite reluctant across katrina, youre reporting from badging. Thank you very much. Katrina, are the protests in government held territory in syria have now entered their 2nd month residents of the city of sway to or demanding the downfall of the government and are angry over the crumbling economy. While these protests have continued, Security Forces have been fast. The spam felt rallies in other parts of the country, st. Ahold our reports another day, another protest and sway to the people of this province in southern syria are angry because of a collapse the economy under calling for an end to president bush or a said through the for 12 years we endured a difficult and disgraceful life. The state has been dropped. I ask you bashar assad, when will the people of syria be able to live in dignity . These have been the biggest protests and government held territories. Since i saw him and his allies were able to recapture much of the country from the opposition and they are now in the 2nd months. But so far they arent seen as a threat to the regime. And others and other government control territories have been stifled. There was a tool to progress in different areas and see this north, south, east, west. But how the regime dealt with these process is the, the, the different thing and some, and some areas of the team had an immediate security action that hasnt happened in sway to the response of the authorities to the non violent demonstrations has been restrained on like in 2011, when similar protests led to a harsh crack down, people here are from the minority drews community. They are armed. And unlike in the past, the communities religious leaders are behind, the movement will begin with. Our movement is peaceful. We will let the entire world who are missing should people here say they know they cant topple the leadership, but they want to show it is no longer tenable. They deny their movement is about separatism. They carry historic symbols of national unity. Im the struggle for freedom ever. Do i get them those living in coastal cities . I tell you they do have fear speaking loud voices. And if you can, because of the bushes books come to sway the where you can speak reading the, the problems enjoys limited autonomy because its largely isolated itself from the war. Ignoring the protest appears to be a strategy on the part to the authorities, at least for now, to include the else whos the forces of held a military parade on thursday to mark 9 years since they seized control of the many capital. So now its come a day after whos the officials ended talks, and saudi arabia with re ad saying that the discussions were positive. But few details have been given on the efforts to end the war and given the basic military parade since many messages. The 1st is mainly to saudi arabia, but the will is not in its interest on such saudi arabia must seize the opportunity from the money efforts to stop the war and lift the siege for the wise military forces present, prepared, ready for saudi arabia.
