declared martial law and ordered the male population to mobilize. about is internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan but it's controlled by armenian forces. robin for us john walker is monitoring developments from tbilisi in georgia so now we have this hour immobilisation call and martial law declaration in armenia that's a sign that they're gearing up for a bigger confrontation right. very much so and that would be consistent with the messaging that the armenians have been giving that which is that there had been a build up of as ery forces on the front lines on his very side in recent days and i think both sides have been preparing for a more a larger conflict or more wide scale conflict armenia holds the territory that's
12:03 pm
the crucial distinction between these 2 sides that armenia holds nagorno-karabakh karabakh is a mountainous area and the armenian positions are on high ground generally. lowland positions which include villages and small towns so civilians and military installations kind of all mixed up together and that's why the risk of civilian casualties is so high and so great on both sides but this really does suggest that something more is going on here than simply an exchange of fire that has been so frequent between both sides for so many years back in july 17 people were killed in a few days of skirmishes the armenians said that they had ripped riposte and. sold now the armenians are saying that it looks as if these aires are carrying out a full scale operation to try perhaps to take back karabakh by force but
12:04 pm
as is always the case the is aries claiming that it's actually conducting a counter offensive and that it was the armenians that started this latest round of fighting and where hearing of artillery being used drones helicopters. tanks we've seen those pictures that the armenians have released of tanks apparently being struck by their by their munitions and already casualties civilian deaths by the armenians claiming civilian deaths and his eyrie saying that 2 of their service personnel have been have been killed but of course that those figures probably could already be changing now if this if this fighting continues to continue along those front lines between as azerbaijan and armenia nagorno-karabakh disputed territory in previous round robin we've seen tens of thousands of civilians killed and impacted by the fighting what's the humanitarian
12:05 pm
situation looking like now. well if we look back in july. by john started fighting in an area that was actually nowhere near nagorno-karabakh between on the border the internationally recognized border between the 2 countries further to the north and cajun there were civilians. houses being struck people's homes farmers caught up in the conflict there it was harvest time which meant of course that a lot of people weren't able to get out into the fields to pick their crops so to add to that you of course have the pandemic which has severely limited the economy in the in the in these areas so the potential for a humanitarian capacity catastrophe is great especially when you consider how. built up the military. complex is let's say between
12:06 pm
on the i mean you know nazeri side the potential for wide scale. civilian casualties is great they have the capability. to reach each other's major cities so if real war breaks out the consequences consequences could be absolutely devastating and that is why the international community is already calling for an immediate cease fire russia we understand has called for an immediate cease fire we know that turkey has an interest in supporting me as erisa and they have repeatedly said so mean it to some extent enjoys the support of russia with russian military bases on the armenian territory so the potential even for white a scale conflict involving international partners is there too. or i will leave it there thanks so much problem for us so walker. matthew bryza is
12:07 pm
a former united states ambassador times headed by john he says prospects for peace have been deteriorating since april the most serious increase in fighting or recurrence of fighting since since certainly since april 2016 and maybe since the cease fire in 1904 because. i just heard for the 1st time live on this report that perhaps missiles have struck step on a character which azerbaijan calls i'm in the the the capital of in the form of iraq region so it is serious that the u.s. embassy also had put out a warning to u.s. citizens in azerbaijan just just in the last day or so not to travel outside of the capital area again when i was ambassador i never had to issue one of those for anything having to do with mccormack harbach one more bit of context in the last year or so the armenian leader nicol question young has been saying he no longer wants to negotiate according to the formula that people like me had been trying to bring together between azerbaijan and armenia and he said they're going to carve
12:08 pm
off is always going to be part of armenia that has really ticked off very severe negative emotions and other by john because the whole the if the negotiations is to after you get to the end when you figure out to rome going to karbala ultimately belong when according to international law right now it is azerbaijani so tension has been building there going reports over the last few days of russian strategic aircraft about 124 flying into armenia in the past they've delivered weapons now the russian government saying with this these were construction materials sources tell al jazeera prisoner exchange deal between the m. and a government and he rebels has been finalized be she was being discussed that u.n. sponsored talks in geneva the swap deal was 1st agreed in 2018 but it's repeatedly stole beknown the partially implemented. go

12:19 pm
in louisville the curfew is just beginning there still plenty of people in the streets there's now a very real fear of arrest and there is more evidence to back up the reasons why there is such disbelief but no one in the grand jury decided to indict any of the police officers in the death of briana taylor vice news has now got its hands on the body count footage of the police officers who arrived at the scene after briana taylor's death i want to chose once again is louisville police breaking its own rules they allowed the officers involved in the shooting to walk around freely around what is a potential crime scene to talk to other officers to talk amongst themselves none of this should be allowed because in any crime scene you don't want the potential potential suspect to be able to move evidence around to try to get their story straight no there's no evidence any of that happened but it's yet another sign of the louisville police department breaking their own rules we know that they broke the rules in perhaps getting. the arrest warrant in the 1st place by cutting and
