this is al jazeera. $1000.00 g.m.t. this sunday hello i'm come all santa maria welcome to the news hour from al-jazeera has declared martial law and total mobilization of troops this is after fighting breaks out with azerbaijan along the disputed border region also in the news yemen's warring sides agree on a prisoner swap deal during u.n. sponsored talks in switzerland. the us president donald trump picks any honey barack has his supreme court nominee potentially tilting america's top court firmly

to the rights. and new arrest warrants are issued for members of mexico's military over the disappearance of dozens of students 6 years ago. and in sports the l.a. lakers reached the n.b.a. finals for the 1st time in a decade le bron james leads his team to a winner of the denver nuggets in game 5 of the western conference finals. so in the past few hours armenia has declared martial law as fighting intensifies with its neighbor azerbaijan this violence flaring over the disputed region of not going to cut about the armenians defense ministry has shed these images they say it shows azerbaijan tanks being destroyed and they saying in addition to that 2 helicopters were shot down as well as 3. drones as about john's army chief on the

other hand says he is launching a counter offensive operation we've heard from russia the e.u. and france all calling for an end to hostilities while turkey has condemned what it calls and mean an attack on the as a by john and says it violates international law here it is on the map it is as we say the nagorno karabakh region and ethnically armenian on klav within but which has been out of azerbaijan's control since the end of the war in 994 both sides have a heavy military presence along the demilitarized zone which separates the region from the rest of azerbaijan so we'll start with robin forester walker following developments from tbilisi the capital of georgia hi robin any clarity on of these a difficult with disputed regions are there but any clarity over how all this started today and where it's leading. really you have 2 sides 2 versions to this story metanarrative from the armenian side that by john

launched an all out artillery bombardment of its positions at around 7 o'clock local time this morning but azerbaijan saying that around 6 am this morning armenia attacked 1st and that they are now conducting a counter offensive both sides of this display of the line of control it's called heavily militarized which means that the potential for. food for catastrophe here between the military forces and of course the civilians is is huge and that's why it's very troubling to see now passion yeah and the prime minister has armenia state announcing a state of martial law and the president of azerbaijan making an address to the is very people saying it is time now to take back control of

territory occupied by armenian forces so very worrying rhetoric as well as what we're seeing on the ground what does history teaches when we see these sorts of flare ups as you say in a in a heavily militarized area this is going to happen but what happens when they escalate how do they come down again. you viewers may remember back in july there were several days of clashes between both sides not in the corner karabakh over no going back itself but but across the internationally recognized border to the north urges to few dozens of kilometers from where i am now back then there was a agreements a cease fire that was reached after around 72 hours so often there have been these kind of conflagrations that that tip over and then they sort of step back from the brink but observers have been saying for

a long time that the potential for a much wider conflict is is there because the peace talks that have been taking place for many years as as a by john has said repeatedly in recent months have been taking them nowhere they insist that those territories must be returned not just going to care about but 7 adjacent regions that armenian forces have occupied since the 1990 s. they insist that those regions must be returned but armenians of course always maintaining that this settlement has to involve the armenian people who now are living in karabakh by john has to take into account their needs so really this is this is why after so many times we've seen these kind of low level fighting break out these these big escalations are extremely troubling particularly at this time after what we saw in july this year that's

a walker bringing us up to date with this armenia azerbaijan situation both countries have been locked in this territorial dispute for decades as robin was alluding to it all emerged out of the collapse of the soviet union when i mean separatists seized that territory and in fact 30000 people died in the fire. missing in 1904 there was a ceasefire but there have been several instances of fighting since robin was just telling us about april 26th in when about 110 people were killed in the most serious fighting in years and then the most recent flare appeals i mentioned in july. very pleased to have lit give origin with us now in eastern europe and listed i had just global insight joining us from line. the the fact that this is flared up to this extent right now does that surprise you at all or is has something been building here. no not to talk all over we have been expecting an escalation.

and we have had to see it and we monitored older sons on the ground both political developments and also economic development i have to say that in 2016 when we so the escalation along the line of contact that just came out. of serious economic troubles that azerbaijan was facing and i would i would also draw attention to that economic acting in of the in addition to some of the comments by and by and you are a journalist that. is facing to his economic come laps in the same instance creation really our. declaration of independence in $19090.00 s and usually we see that this sort of tear up so also helped the ruling regime to distract domestic attention from economic troubles in addition what we've also seen that domestically in azerbaijan off to the to live flare out there was

a widespread attempt to muzzle the opposition number of opposition leaders have been arrested and also looking at why don't you have political setup of the conflict where you see quite worrying. increased activity from take a state and and turkey has traditionally supported doesn't by john of course but to recently we have seen much more well and. calls of support and a we also see an number of reports of indirect military support for us john so can you expand on that a little for me because with almost every conflict we see these days it becomes about who supports it and you've mentioned turkey then who else backs these 2 sides . well from. i mena is part of the s.t.l. which is a military bloc led by russia so russia is a remains

a meaningless key ally and at the same time russia has and has a specific role because along with us and france they are just 3 co-chairs of the so-called mean scrooge oversees the peace talks russia has in its unique position and which on one hand it is out i mean as allies but at the same time it has to be sort of impartially nessun is that it has to maintain that status of a man to me but looking at the military statistics because the numbers tell tell a better story both sides sammy and i was about john and receive most of their military equipment from all acquired and military equipment from russia of president johnson around 80 percent more than that as and as nasty gal i so at that desk configuration and then what you have iran

a nervous neighbor of what's happening but less involvement ok what do you think about this acute conflict now and stepping back from it i correspond it was pointed out that you know there's a matter of one hour with the 2 sides saying you started it no you started it i don't think we're going to get consensus on that but how do we find consensus on pulling back. well i think there has been a solution offered to this blame game back in 2016 it was a german led proposal fact by the u.s. and france and the proposal was to install security make it so that it will have a monitoring system which will precisely tell you who started fest well unfortunately the ofer wasn't really preceded what i mean yet completely backed and continues to say that they insist on instalment of days to create a mechanism as a part has been refusing to do so so far and he seems like russia on days and this

matter is siding on azerbaijan in this as he attempts to install to security mechanism where derailed so from my perspective i want respect to what we see is that the frequency of escalations even if they are controlled are suggesting that we are really entering a very dangerous zone where it can definitely get out of control especially when new players regional players are being dragged into it is really interesting to get your insight into perspective the league of origin from. billet side thank you thank you we move on to other news and a prisoner exchange deal between the yemeni government and the hooty rebels has been finalized the issue is being discussed at the u.n. sponsored talks in switzerland a swap deal that was actually 1st agreed back in 28 teen but has repeatedly stalled and only partially implemented it. yes.

without following developments from here in doha it has what's happened now what's changed for this is to go through now. well it's taken all the parties quite some time to overcome major differences about how to move forward and they decided to agree on a 1st step which is basically the release of a 1000 to 81 prisoners now the announcement is going to be made in a time now but we have to wait for some time before the logistics are put into place before i get agreements are finalized because you know some of the prisoners have to be driven all the way from the northern part of the amount to the south and vice versa any disagreement in the coming days could jeopardize this whole agreement there's another major obstacle which is the fate of for syria government official still detained by the houthi is the brother of president how the mohammed us will behave always a former defense minister faces a senior army command at the bottom of that a senior leader of al islam part of the government says these people have to be

released the these are saying no these people have to wait and this could undermine the chances right of the hashim sorry i'm going to interrupt you. are not in switzerland we have martin griffith the u.n. special envoy on yemen speaking. persia. so both of you. i would like to see you thank you. to all of you really threatens. those. who are here to be. the ruler. with. a very. serious resume during the 4th meeting of the supervisory committee for the group. you have reviewed your commitments for the flu from intrusion into stock are. you going to meet the release

a few. individuals. would know the will. slaughters. operations or history of the figure. and releasing those who say in the immense relief that john paul the 1000 levels will be reunited with their love because of your parents and your sisters. who will bring reassurance of earth for many more days still the way to the gruesome death of. the good friends. if you will so sudden important message. about the world. i think we're going to go you for good. i'm willingness to compromise as you have a. peaceful negotiation see the answers see that labels and solution and bring

relieve them of the people i believe of the useless. article on you to build the wall of this very. potency. and to move towards together and he gives. us a lawsuit. today. from the war on all those this is for the wall this is possible. for the united nations so i was ready to support the policies as well as the only people who showed that. i was going to see the original. it's in the last solution. you guys see it's a rare privilege to work with ourselves and this is a very to do which we realize is that the luge and the learning experience for us forward i think the brits are real people. critical of

the. you are true very. true but a break from a little closer show we will up this was going to. be for yours through very efficiency and generous support. facilitation was cruising for you although. a face to face meetings with the very sort of areas should be cited for switching of things which. we do 45 of the very soon you need to get a. hold of those discussions about further abuses which it also calls for this to happen. and to be. very. peaceful negotiations can succeed says martin griffiths the un special envoy to yemen is he officially announced as a prisoner swap which will take place in which he is urging to happen as soon as

possible. as our correspondent very familiar with. the war in yemen and has been the same to that as well and it's rationed that we do get what you would consider good news or even just a political development in yemen these days. well come on i have been in touch with . officials from the yemeni government and from the whole thing is trying to gauge a sense of a celebratory mood of the back of the announcement that has been that was in yesterday the deal that was in yesterday about the president's swap and they thought it didn't seem to be really excited about the news they said that it's still going to be a long way to go because here's what is going to be happening during the implementation the ice sea is going to monitor the logistics of the whole operation you have to convince the earth is to allow those detainees to move all the way from saddam or in the areas in the north back to the south and vice versa any disagreements in the meantime could jeopardize the whole settlement and and

this is absolutely isolated this is not something that could be conducive to a comprehensive political settlement there are thousands of people still detained by both parties there are huge disagreements about how to reach a comprehensive deal about the prisoner swap i was in sweden 3018 when martin griffiths was basically telling the world that the stockholm deal is going to pave the way for a permanent settlement to yemen nothing of those things happened yemen of 2018 is no more we having keep by as now interfering we have in the south which is going to disintegrate from the rest of the country the situation is colossal to the point where the u.n. by not be able in any time soon to solve the crisis in yemen. following the developments out of well switzerland but concerning a prisoner swap between the yemeni government and the hutu rebels ok we are at a quarter past 20 past this news hour in fact here's what's coming up many

journalists in hong kong lose their right to report has china clamped down on press freedom. really affected us even financially. clubs do have the money and in sport with the fears for the future of kenyan football. players hoping the government will lift a ban on contact sports despite corona fires. well i tell you is off to the death of us supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg and president don't trump is officially nominated i mean to replace a confirmation hearing could start as soon as october 12th and if confirmed barrett's appointment would further consolidate a conservative majority on the court for decades and support from kimberly hopkins . is a highly anticipated nomination made official when u.s. president donald trump and now stern named judge amy kone barrett.

judge barrett currently serves as a federal judge in chicago and is president trump's 3rd pick for the u.s. supreme court she is a woman of unparalleled achievement towering intellect sterling credentials and unyielding loyalty to the constitution if confirmed judge barrett would replace justice ruth bader ginsburg who died earlier this month and was an iconic champion of women's rights she not only broke last ceilings she smashed them for that she has won the admiration of women across the country and indeed all over the world like the pioneer before her beret is also a working mother she has 7 children including one with special needs and 2 adopted children from haiti she is devoutly religious and disagrees with the viewpoint the

u.s. constitution is an evolving living document a judge must apply the law as written. judges are not policymakers and they must be resolute and setting aside any policy views they might hold critics fear that view could shift the high court further right and lead to decisions that could undo abortion rights and the affordable care act that provides health insurance for tens of millions of americans democratic presidential nominee joe biden urge senators not to confirm barrett arguing the future of health care hangs in the balance the democratic leader in the senate agrees her views are way to the right of the american people and as they learn about it she will become less and less popular. but. the 28000 confirmation for justice brett kavanaugh was contentious republicans accuse democrats of

a smear campaign against kavanaugh who fought off accusations of sexual assault during the hearings this time trump appealed for fairness and further members of the other side of the aisle to provide it with a respectful and dignified hearing that she deserves and frankly that our country deserves the high stakes battle to confirm amy connie barrett now moves to the republican controlled senate the hearings are expected to move at a swift and unprecedented pace with republicans promising to confirm barrett's seat on the supreme court before the november 3rd presidential election kimberley health at al-jazeera the white house. the make up of. a country that no moment now donald trump has made his nomination officially let's see what happens next getting ahead of myself a process that traditionally takes 2 or 3 months actually he will notify the u.s. senate in writing then the judiciary committee will conduct their own investigation

and many senators will get to meet. the committee will hold public hearings before voting on whether to recommend her nomination to the full senate and then once in front of the entire senate is another debate it goes to a vote on the floor a majority 51 votes is needed to confirm her and of course remember republicans hold the balance of power in the upper house they have 53 sentences now the makeup of the u.s. supreme court this can have an impact far beyond the united states and so we've got scott lucas to talk about that co-founder of america unfiltered a news analysis site focusing on a u.s. politics and foreign policy so we're going to steer away i think from the controversies because any number of controversies we can talk about scott and it's really for our international audience why should they care about who is on the u.s. supreme court. well i think there are 2 factors that are here one is immediate the 2nd is longer term the immediate and the reason why donald trump and

the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell are trying to rush this through in an unprecedented 5 waves far quicker than any process we've had in an election year is because donald trump wants the supreme court to protect him if he defies the outcome of the november 3rd a lot action in other words that people loses to joe biden he said is much on tuesday that he expects the court to hear his claim which is based on no evidence from which if i just fraudulent that mail in balloting is leads to a hoax a lot. but the 2nd wider reason is that amy kone barrett is not just a conservative justice she's very arch conservative and what that could mean for the court is for example and could lead to restrictions on abortion even making abortion illegal it could lead to a rollback of rights gender rights and voting rights it could lead not only to a restriction of immigration but to the deportation of immigrants from the united states it could lead to the gutting of environmental regulations and it could lead

to the scrapping of obamacare the closest thing we've ever had to a national health care system now some people in america will applaud that they will say this fits in with our beliefs whether it's on abortion or health care but i think many around the world will be questioning why in america which at least preaches if it doesn't always practice a commitment to rights is seeing this real roll back in this room roll back on still rights and social rights that have really been the mark of the court for decades before the last few years you've mentioned one of the issues there which i was going to raise an add in and. this is i guess when we can talk about real direct effects the travel bans which donald trump brought into place and which were upheld by the courts muslim ban which some people refer to it as dhaka the dream is the people who do they have a right to live in the country or not when they came there is as young people i guess these are the real hot button issues for certainly america's immediate

neighbors but people from all over the world. oh absolutely we're talking about an impact on millions of lives so let's take the muslim ban which was donald trump 1st executive order all the way back in january of 2017 he and his advisors fought for that for years through the courts and finally they got a limited victory in the supreme court which maintained some of the restrictions on largely on citizens of largely muslim countries now where that amy county barrett on the court which is much more in somebody with those types of restrictions they can try to go farther and then when it comes to dhaka let's be very clear here we've got $700000.00 children of undocumented immigrants who are protected by a 2012 order that barack obama donald trump has spent years trying to strip away that older he has failed so far only torts but the hope is now if the supreme court tilts this further in our lives our conservative majority those immigrants or immediately at risk of being pushed out of the united states if

a parent says they really don't belong here fascinating times ahead on thank scott lucas thank you for joining us do appreciate it thank you come off still in the u.s. in a police officer has been filmed using his riot shields to repeatedly strike a man on the ground but the media in los angeles say police declared a protest against the police killing of briana taylor as an unlawful assembly arrests were made as police fired tear gas at protesters on friday night the l.a. police department is reportedly on just an investigation crowds of anti-racism protest is in portland oregon of also been met with a swift police crackdown offices charged hundreds of people on the streets have been else despite a curfew pulled into seeing 4 months of nightly protests ever since the killing of george floyd. and earlier hundreds joined a rally held by the right wing group the probabilities many of them were armed and chanted against the black lines matter movement the crowd was fos mall of the

authorities had expected the organs governor declared a state of emergency after saying white supremacist groups were traveling to portland for the event and in the city of louisville hundreds of people have marched for a 4th straight night over a grand jury's decision to not charge offices in the fatal shooting of brianna taylor the city seeing more than $120.00 days of demonstrations ever since she was killed during a police raid in march shihab rattansi is in louisville for us. it's the 4th night of her h.s. 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 and the death of briana taylor vice news is now going to towns 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 v.p. arrest warrant in the 1st place by cutting and pasting information into an arrest warrant now we have evidence of a break the rules after the death of briana taylor but authorities insist no rules were broken during the death of briana taylor. missteps and folks here with a look at they would whether now if it's in africa or on sunday what if you go africa back to africa come out with cuts another search in the very heavy rains across central africa they say still right they are further north like ship the on

the frightening sail a satellite they just stood around the highlands just pushing down into southern parts of south sudan this is the only way as they continue to address their way from the thin highlands all the way across west africa and in fact in northern nigeria where the rain should be beginning to ease we have seen some very very heavy rainfall here over the past few days and there has led to the extensive flooding that you can see as you go on through the next couple days a hopeful it will be a. but there will be some showers still in play across northern parts of the nigeria the heaviest downpours at the moment to down towards the south that you see has we go through monday they do as they way back up to central parts of nigeria and then as we go on need to choose day more heavy rain coming into the north want to get a little pocket of very heavy downpours coming back here so i fear the flooding will be exacerbated by that push a little further east which again we have seen some of those showers affecting

southern parts of sudan central african republic easing across the much of south sudan some heavy downpours here and those showers now as they should be they are pushing a little further south with still see some wet weather coming back towards lake victoria pushing across a good part of uganda showers continue further north all the way up into saddam kemal thank you everton more weather with everton in our next news hour 1300 hours g.m.t. but still ahead in this broadcast divided over the pandemic tensions rise between brazil and argentina over each other's handling of the crisis and in sports the field with a finnish co-found finds a new way to take in the action at the irish. if by trying to win it by the mob when he lied to the american people failed to

were in total. the latest coronavirus news now and the pandemic is approaching another one of those depressing milestones if you look at the latest figures from johns hopkins university it's the number in white there approaching 995000 deaths not far off from a 1000000 now all over the world and you see from the red hate map it is the u.s. brazil india mexico and the u.k. which has seen the most deaths over the course of the stop break in australia restrictions are being eased finally in victoria the epicenter of the outbreak their state premier daniel andrews says a nighttime curfew and some of the curbs will be removed almost immediately $5000000.00 australians in the state capital melbourne have been under a stringent lockdown since early august to prevent a 2nd wave of the virus but the premier is warning of large fines for anyone joining what police consider unlawful gatherings. and demonstrators in argentina

are demanding the government coronavirus restrictions because they say the situation is critical the 6 month lock down holds the already fragile economy to shrink by a record 19 percent in the 2nd quarter the latest anti-government rally was in the capital when a sideways news from asia and at least 16 miners have been killed in china's 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 . journalists in hong kong are warning of a new threats to media freedom police have announced a new definition of what constitutes recognized media the change follows china's leaders imposing the controversial and widely condemned security law some 3 months ago support from adrian brown in hong kong. during the recent protests local as well as foreign journalists have often been in the thick of it some from the

profusion of new online media outlets often working on paid others included journalism students as well as freelance photographers like may james here being arrested last october. now hong kong's police force has announced that the media credentials that she and other local journalists hold will no longer be recognised. james insists she has a right to take pictures in public but now faces the prospect of a rest again if she does i just want to be there to take some picture to share with all my social media for that's it and then. i get a take and i get a rest and i get to take i don't know how or maybe i just simply just being stuff i feel alice i miss everything. hong kong police say they want to weed out what they say are self-proclaimed reporters who assault and obstruct offices so will only now

acknowledge journalists who are registered with the government or from what it calls internationally recognized and renowned media outlets the police declined our request for an interview. some of the most widely viewed images include those of a 12 year old schoolgirl being shoved to the ground by police these pictures were not filmed by the mainstream media though but by journalism students now say critics the police want to limit any negative coverage reporters there than reporters citizen journalists are off on the very front lawyer of the pack of all of journalist for often in fact some of the very important for the ages have been done by them cause very strong public reactions hong kong's media was once regarded as one of the freest in asia in 2002 it was ranked 18 in the annual index compiled by reporters without borders an organization the tracks

media freedom in $180.00 countries this year it was placed 80 of them and that was before police raided the offices of hong kong's most popular newspaper and arrested its proprietor it follow china's imposition of a highly controversial new security law that includes specific provisions to tighten supervision and regulation of both local and international media in the territory adrian brown al-jazeera hong kong. very pleased to have stephen vines with us now political commentator and journalist based in hong kong stephen before we get into some of the wider issues just i'm just interested in how this will affect you if you what would consider freelance and would be affected by this i don't know i mean this is the problem with this arbitrary imposition of new rules. a lot of people myself included are un sure of our situation and i think people

like me are even more worried that what there will be is a general imposition of. so-called register of journalists covering all sorts of things i mean in other words this is the situation that you're having mainland china and anybody who's not alert register is not only denied all access to all source public events but is is liable to arrest for unlawful activities because they're in places where they shouldn't be waiting protests or what have you or that's taking place so i'm uncertain i think most people are. does the whole thing though fall into one of those shocked but not surprised situations it is clearly something which you're going to have to deal with but i mean everything's been pointing to this type of thing this type of tightening particularly since the national security law came into place. so you most certainly could argue that i mean it's not just it's not some media. there is this widespread. what people are

calling a white terror running through our own car you know censorship of books the forcing of all civil servants to sign a lot he declarations i mean by the day and i'm really not except it is but the day new rules and various regulations are imposed so yes i suppose this does fall into. it's not surprising but it's still alarming because as we just heard in that report from adrian brown you know hong kong used to be the place not only where journalists the free to report but when they were free to establish international basis it was considered one of the better places in asia to use as a base to report throughout the region that has now been put into question so without getting too far ahead of ourselves do you think this is the kind of thing which really long term can affect this territory there was so much talk about will hong kong be able to hold on to its position as

a financial help because of the security law now you throw journalism in and freedom to report into it slowly all these freedoms being being chipped away. well i think some of this is all you know this is all connected hong kong is an international business because there is a free flow of information if you work in the finance industry which is basically what is mate i'll call an international you need under street to get access to information if at the very place where that information emanates in hong kong itself there are restrictions it affects the credibility of alcohol as a financial if journalists are denied as they are now people from international publications that been denied visas recently this is all a new thing why on earth would any international organization want to have a basic we've already. scene one major american newspaper planning to move

a 3rd of its start. which had been there reach of others i know i'm looking at this so we are looking not so much as a theoretical. but as something that's already happening stevens a pleasure talking to you thank you for your time now arrest warrants have been issued for police and military personnel in mexico have been implicated in the disappearance of dozens of students their suspected abduction by corrupt policeman is continuing to cause anguish for their families they have received the 1st apology though from the government on the 6th anniversary of this crime manuel rappler reports from mexico city. was. another year marked by protests in the mexican capital saturday was the anniversary of the disappearance of 43 students from equal in mexico in 2014 now 6 years on the calls for accountability have only grown and i wanted that we will not rest until
