mass action or serve the interests of the powerful he created it for all opportunity it can obscure the truth this is a legitimate news story like this and talking points for pretty intense if it can forge narratives or rewrite from the listening post gives you the full picture of. violence between armenia and azerbaijan flares are along the disputed border both sides blame each other. i'm sam is a than this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. and it is a very proud moment indeed donald trump nominates a conservative judge to the u.s.

supreme court sparking a backlash from democrats. divided over the pandemic tensions rise between brazil and argentina over each other's handling of the crisis. really affected us even financially. clubs who didn't have the money. and fears for the future of kenyan football players hope the government will lift a ban on contact sports. now there's been a major flare up in violence between armenia and azerbaijan in the disputed nagano region armenia's defense ministry spokesman tweeted out these images apparently showing azerbaijan and tanks being destroyed by jan says it's launched a large counter offensive along the for. unline the region has declared martial law

and the mobilization of its male population we've got a cut above is internationally recognized as part of the as a base jan but it's controlled by armenian forces robin for us to walk or is monitoring developments from tbilisi in georgia joins us on the phone from there so let's start with this general mobilization going on in the garden or heard of our has just been announced i guess that's a sign that things are not calming down. most i mean it doesn't look that way to i've been in touch with both store and ministry as a by john and media and as you were saying both sides accusing the other of starting this which of course is the typical statements that you hear so it's very difficult to get a clear picture but what these areas are saying is that the armenians began shelling civilian positions and military positions on the front line on this

side of the front line of. the military area we're talking about that which is going to karbala and that says civilians were injured and 2 military personnel killed. what the armenians is saying is that is very close to cusco attack on their positions including the regional capital stock panic. which is a very significant development because the panic was not targeted during the last time there was a major conflict there the 4 day conflict 202016 i believe. we also saw the city this year but that was not going to care about the area this contested area so the fact that the panic that is being targeted really ups the ante so to speak these areas have not confirmed whether or not they did strike the panic that it's that it's a very serious cusa consent and as you are showing that the armenians you know quick to use military pictures of the the attacks that they've been able to

make on these areas sorry that inflicting damage to their equipment these areas of the past used. on mad drones to carry out missile strikes they have significant military hardware but they have spent a very large amount of their budget on building up their armed forces but the army's also well fortified. they're the ones you control. and so the potential for to you no serious injuries is because the syrians also there are civilian populations of both tension the most serious damage to civilian infrastructure and civilian positions. is always there and this is very worrying see this happening right now that segues into my next question for you robin because in the past when we've seen conflict it has bogs massive casualties in the

civilian population an exodus of people leaving the region what is the humanitarian situation. well they're going to care about is it populated with civilians. to panic the regional capital is quite a large town. there are also a number of villages that are sort of squat quite strong out along the the lowlands as well all of these areas that are media controlled and they tend to be kind of mixed in with with military positions. because of the fact that this area has been you know a quarter regional conflict for so many years and only is there a site to these to farming villages mixed in with the front lines you know you're never far from civilian positions that can be easily hit of course because shelley

you know isn't necessarily that accurate although when we had a flare up back in july this year the emphasis that both sides were trying to train with this was all about targeted use of use of very sophisticated weapons. often means eric in these areas case these israeli built drones that are capable of targeting very specific places and they've shown a lot of videos of military installations being hit but always the potential school civilian casualties is huge and it's very concerning to see that civilian positions including the pentagon the panic of being struck now if that is the case all right thanks so much from him for us. now a days after the death of u.s. supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg president don trump officially nominated a macone barrett to replace a confirmation hearing could stand as soon as october the 12th and if confirmed

a shortage of fuel bread and high inflation that triggered protests in 2018 that led to the overthrow of the dance president a few months later and it's these very same issues along with the continued drop in the valley of the sudanese pound that the transitional administration now faces the coronavirus pandemic and widespread floods have weakened the economy even further. in this conference we should look back of the past year and get over it obstacles by using the experience to achieve the 2nd article of our declaration that article states ending the economic deterioration and improving living standards of citizens in every aspect that will not be achieved until we take advantage of our resources and making sure the new history of finance is in control of all public funds sudan's economy has been in a downward spiral since south sudan gained independence in 2011 taking with it 75 percent of the oil fields which of them provided nearly half the country's g.d.p. to save money the current administration has lifted the fuel subsidies which ate up

more than a 3rd of the country's budget while keeping subsidies on other things like wheat and medicine. reforming the economy is crucial for the stability of sudan's transitional government and for its transition to democracy but the challenges in making reforms are not just that home the sudanese government's been on the u.s. list of states sponsoring terrorism can fly 993 which has contributed to economic isolation by many countries that lack of foreign trade meant little access to hard currency and made getting off that u.s. list even more urgent after agreeing to massive compensation payments so dan had expected the matter to be resolved very soon but then during his visit to hot zone last month the u.s. secretary of state at the requirement that sudan normalize ties with israel so dan replied by saying the current administration did not have such a mandate and that the 2 issues should remain separate meanwhile the sudanese people continue to suffer the impact of being blacklisted as one of them we now have a crisis in transportation in bread in market prices and it's all because of the

state of the economy we want the u.s. to get us off the list of state sponsored terrorism so we can develop like the rest of the world what you know to have that you if i buy a kilo of meat one month i can't do it in the next if i get medical treatment one month i can't get it in the next simply because the prices keep increasing because of the economy. currency shortages it's becoming unbearable for many more than 60 percent of the country's 42000000 people live below the poverty line the government says the conference is the 1st step in a long journey to revive the economy he will morgan al-jazeera how to at least 16 miners have been killed in china southwestern city of chong ching a rescue operation was launched to save dozens of workers trapped after a fire broke out in the mine it's believed they suffered carbon monoxide poisoning and 3 government protesters in egypt have rallied for a 7th consecutive day demonstrators in smaller cities such as have joined the

so on we have managed to largely eliminate those diseases from widespread transmission and that's had a huge impact the only way that we are going to control the spread of this disease is by having an effective vaccine and having sufficient uptake of the vaccine to prevent it being spread from person to person the resistance is itself meeting resistance in the form of online groups trying to stop the spread of what they. say is false information clearly what we see here this is a website waiting times is one of the key disseminators of false information and here are adverse monetize the whole thing of them yet though we do we contact these brands. he says keep buying from you get money and we asked the blacklist to sell and move these ads to stop funding the. adam which isn't his real name didn't

schools have been closed since march there's not much to do especially for young people the coronavirus hasn't really cause the kind of major health crisis in kenya that people feared might happen relatively few people have become ill or died compared to many other countries so the people here feel never mind the rules life and football must go on the match organizers say helps keep school age children away from drug abuse and crime. but the league clubs say they need to get back in shape ahead of africa's champions league and qualifiers for the africa cup of nations. here call them out here are playing a friendly match and it seems nobody's stopping them. passing police officers stop to watch the game. as much as possible. that they do it and hopefully the.
