Hello. A warm welcome. The fate of Ethnic Armenians in disputed Nagorno Karabakh is hanging in the balance, as their leaders say most will likely leave their historic homeland now controlled by azerbaijan. The region is internationally recognised as part of azerbaijan, but large parts of it have been controlled by Ethnic Armenians for three decades. Tens of thousands of armenians have sought refuge in the main city, stepanakert, many of them gathering at the airport. Some aid has reached the enclave, but food, medicine and fuel are all in short supply. In new york, azerbaijans Foreign Minister told the Un General Assembly that baku was determined to reintegrate Karabakh Armenians as equal citizens. But his armenian counterpart demanded the un establish a mission in the region to prevent further killings of Ethnic Armenians. The bbc� s olga ivshina is one of the first journalists to have reached the region since this weeks hostilities began. She sent us this report. This is the first time journalists have been allowed into karabakh since the start of recent hostilities. We are currently in a key point in the area. It sits on the mountain which overlooks several several strategic roads and dance. The conflict has taken Tens Of Thousands of lives. So the question everyone is asking now, will the latest ceasefire hold . The Azerbaijan Military has called told us they are currently in control of a city down there which Karabakh Armenians called stepanakert and consider their capital. It is very important. However, we have no details, no evidence, and this is as close as we are allowed to go. The biggest question now is what happens to Karabakh Armenians who have lived here for several decades . An official has told me they will only target. I official has told me they will only tar et. Official has told me they will only taruet. ~. , target. I am kind currently conducting target. I am kind currently conducting my target. I am kind currently conducting my clinic. Target. I am kind currently conducting my clinic. We target. I am kind currently conducting my clinic. We have. Target. I am kind currently. Conducting my clinic. We have also established temporary camps. In these camps we can provide food, water, electricity and also heating up water, electricity and also heating up to 1000 people in each camp. However, there is a lot of mistrust on both sides. The destiny of these people is now de facto. Earlier, the bbc spoke with jason straziuso, spokesperson for the International Committee of the red cross. He brought us up to speed on the humanitarian work they are doing in the area. The last couple of days we have sent in several convoys, 70 tonnes of wheat flour, but also used under some sunflower oil. 0bviously those supplies can be used to make bread, other bakery items. That is an indication of how dire the situation is. Not enough food, not enough medical supplies. The convoy we sent in today did drop off some medical supplies. And also dropped off body bags, not so pleasant to think about what an important aspect of this is the dignified management of the dead. It is a well humanitarian effort from our team for the past couple of days. 0ver effort from our team for the past couple of days. Over the past 72 hours there has been an increase in humanitarian access. I think the sides understand that we are a neutral organisation. We do not take sides. This helps facilitate the activity, the work we carry out. We have close contact with both sides. We wouldnt be able to move through without permission and we dont seek to move through without permission. So those open channels of communication are in place all the time and allow us to carry out these trips. 0ne time and allow us to carry out these trips. One of our approaches is to work with other nations that might be allowed or partners with the governments involved here, and remind the governments involved that they do have a humanitarian duty, that medical supplies must be allowed through, that food must be allowed through, that food must be allowed through, that food must be allowed through, and any body wounded or sick must be allowed to receive medical care. Those kind of conversations do take place with other nations that might be involved in this region. A second ship with ukrainian wheat reached turkey, despite russias withdrawal from the un backed grain deal. The bulk carrier laden with more than 17,000 tonnes of wheat left the Port City Of Chornomorsk in ukraine on friday, bound for egypt. This comes as it is testing a new sea route, avoiding international waters, and using those controlled by nato members bulgaria and romania. A first ship with 3,000 tonnes of wheat has safely arrived to istanbul last week. Dr Hanna Shelest is from the Transatlantic Defenve and Security Programme at the centre for european policy analysis. Earlier, she told me that the recent shipment could be a signal that ukrainian grain exports may be possible without russias cooperation. We know that in addition to the shoe two ships, there are three other ships currently coming. We are expecting them today or tomorrow. But at the same time, that is a clear demonstration, how do i say . That is the exception to the rule. Nobody is guaranteed security on the ship. And even that most of the route is happening not in neutral waters, but in the native member states, bulgaria and romania. But for several hours ships are coming into Ukrainian Territorial waters. They need to be stationed at ukrainian ports. That is part of the decision by clear demonstration that russia cannot control the black sea and cannot. fire russia cannot control the black sea and cannot and cannot. Are we likely to see more ships and cannot. Are we likely to see more ships on and cannot. Are we likely to see more ships on this and cannot. Are we likely to see more ships on this route and cannot. Are we likely to see more ships on this Route Carryingl more ships on this route carrying more ships on this route carrying more grain . I more ships on this route carrying more grain . More ships on this route carrying more grain . I assume that we will see not only more grain . I assume that we will see not only growing, more grain . I assume that we will see not only growing, but more grain . I assume that we will see not only growing, but maybe. More grain . I assume that we will. See not only growing, but maybe even other goods. If you remember the first two ships before the grain ship, they were stocked with metallurgical material. That was february 22 2022. For more than a year there have been waiting for permission to leave the port. However, others already past to the east and it was secured. More would be willing to use this route. We also need to accompany it with the additional security guaranteed for this trip, probably with the defence of the nato countries or with controls of the ships over there, to guarantee the Russian Federation will not be provoking the commercial fleet for the freedom of medication. And just briefly, this all comes as ukraine is targeting the home of russias black sea fleet. What are your thoughts on how that fits into the picture . The your thoughts on how that fits into the picture . Your thoughts on how that fits into the picture . The Russian Black Sea fleet is stationed the picture . The Russian Black Sea fleet is stationed in the picture . The Russian Black Sea fleet is stationed in the the picture . The Russian Black Sea fleet is stationed in the Occupied L Fleet is stationed in the occupied region. It is the duty of the russian navy. The key story. Definitely there is one there are myths about the city. 0ne definitely there is one there are myths about the city. One of the myths about the city. One of the myths is that crimea is that not that much protective. And maybe that not that much defended as before. For years it was the second most protected city in the Russian Federation after moscow. The reality is that it is not. That will allow ukraine to push russian soldiers out from the black sea coast from those operations they have been conducting against ukrainian sure. Russian Foreign MinisterSergey Lavrov says the United States and kyiv� s other allies are directly at war with moscow. Speaking at the Un General Assembly on saturday, lavrov also blamed the collapse of the black sea grain deal on ukraine. He further criticized kyiv� s peace plan as, not feasible or realistic.

Being used to looking down at the rest of the world, americans and europeans make also to and they take on commitments, written once and legally binding ones. And then theyjust dont fulfil them. As President Putin pointed out, the west is one that is truly an empire of lies. Russia, like many countries, knows about this first hand. Defence secretary grant shapps said it would be irresponsible to carry on Pumping Money into hs2 if costs had spiralled, and there was a perfectly legitimate question about the sequencing of the high speed rail line. Mr shapps, the former transport secretary, told bbc� s sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme that costs had increased significantly, citing inflation as having been part of that. He stressed that hs2 was not the be all and end all for northern transport projects. With more on this, im joined from the newsroom by our political correspondent, jessica parker. Hs2 is this enormous rail project. They already scrapped a bit of the leg of the line that was going to run up to leeds in the north of england in yorkshire. Now there is also lots of Speculation Building that the government is going to potentially axe part of the project that would run up to manchester, another city in the uk. This has led to business leaders, some politicians, calling on the government not to axe the project. They say it is vital to the uk economy. The government been tight lipped about exactly what they are going to do. Downing street has repeatedly refused to explicitly say what it is going to do on this front, but we understand a meeting and decision may come this week. It was something that was put to the defence secretary, a senior minister in the garment, grant shapps. The first thing to say is i am reading the first thing to say is i am reading a the first thing to say is i am reading a lot of this in the newspapers, but there have been no announcements, otherthan newspapers, but there have been no announcements, other than the change on netzero, announcements, other than the change on net zero, which doesnt change the outcome, which is 2050, still. But on the outcome, which is 2050, still. But on hsz, the outcome, which is 2050, still. But on hsz, we do have to respond to the budgets, in particular. We have been the budgets, in particular. We have been hit the budgets, in particular. We have been hit notjust by Coronavirus But The War been hit notjust by Coronavirus But The War in been hit notjust by Coronavirus But The War in ukraine. Any responsible garment the war in ukraine. Any responsible garment looks at that and says, does this still garment looks at that and says, does this still stuck up for what the country this still stuck up for what the country requires in terms of where it is spending its resources, and the sequencing of it . It it is spending its resources, and the sequencing of it . The sequencing of it . It doesnt sound good the sequencing of it . It doesnt sound good then. Clearly the mood music does not seem particularly upbeat in terms of whether this major Infra Structure Project will go ahead. Labour, the Main Opposition Party in the uk, have been accused of sending some mixed messages about exactly what they would do in government. Labour has been leading the conservatives in the polls ahead of a likely General Election in the United Kingdom next year.
