it's a comedy started speaking about the old. before even the saudi government to just come out. during the saudi consulate on al-jazeera. for a 2nd day armenian and forces fights over the disputed territory of not going to cut about both sides are reporting casualties. i'm sam is a band this is al jazeera live from also coming out. to shake news story lucia excuse me that. tries to dismiss reports he paid no tax in 10 of the last 15 years after his records were leaked to the new york times. farmers

are on the margin india against 3 new laws they say will threaten their livelihoods . and the nice years giant mapping project to end land disputes are not everyone's been allowed to have a say. fighting between armenia and azerbaijan is continuing for a 2nd day heavy artillery is being deployed by both sides in the garden of kut about drone footage released by azerbaijan claims to show strikes against armenian positions armenia has condemned what it calls a full scale attack military personnel and civilian deaths are being reported on both sides international leaders calling for an immediate cease fire and dialogue. alexandra steele janowicz of freud is live in moscow tracking the reactions from

the kremlin there 1st let's talk to rob walker he joins us live from georgia's capital tbilisi following developments on the front line so how does the front line look at this point in time how's the fighting progressing. this is very much an active theater of war and the both ministries of defense as you've been saying really giving it a constant updates stream of video footage and material very much trying to control the information side to the war but certainly confirmation that yes they've been harry heavy artillery used again by both sides during the night from sunday into monday and continuing today yesterday azerbaijan congratulated itself on having recovered territory all villages today armenia saying that it has taken back some of that territory and discovered

a field of. military casualties dead bodies on the ground in its wake so very much an ongoing fighting situation here with reports of more casualties both military and civilian and not only those different narratives about casualties in the fighting also when it comes to mercenaries to write robin. yes that's an interesting development with both sides claiming that syrian mercenaries have been deployed by the other there was a lot of talk about this in the days preceding this outbreak in fighting as a by john had offered salaries to units to minutes militant units in syria to come to azerbaijan but a lot of that was being dismissed as as this information and now we're hearing those claims made by armenia's top brass with its to moscow

citing information that the as aries have deployed syrian units they are also accusing azerbaijan as well of involving turkey in the fighting and saying that turkey is actually using some of its military hardware to help the is aries f. 16 fighter jets and drones but those claims have not really yet been independently verified so we have to treat that with some caution or good stuff there thanks so much to walk there from tbilisi russia has been leading mediation efforts between the 2. fridays live in moscow to tell us more so what are the russians saying right now about what they want both sides to do. well what they're basically saying is is that everybody should drop the war retore

they should stop fighting immediately and start talking start negotiating because what russia says is that arms is not the way using arms is not the way to solve the conflict in the got look at a bar that it should be a peaceful ways it should be a dialogue between the parties involved the spokesperson of the russian president vladimir putin the me that it's said that the russian ease in a good position to mediate because it has a balanced approach to the situation he said it has good relations with both parties and that it can help resolve the situation he was also asked about a water reading officials announced yesterday saying that it might recognize the region of not going to cut off as an independent country what mackoff said that all sides should refrain from taking steps that can further escalated the situation the situation of armed conflict which he said is slipping into

a war situation russia is saying that they are in conflict with also with $33.00 the ministers of foreign affairs and that they are ready to mediate. the oil c.e. minsk group established in the ninety's exactly to resolve the conflict. now russia does have a lot of influence in the region whether it's from its diplomatic role in the minsk group to arms sales to even investments in the energy sector is there right. yes yes indeed this is a very important strategically important region for russia this is very close to its southern borders which in the past were very unstable and saw in their own time also also fighting and separatists and movements they are in good relations with both i mean in azerbaijan they try to balance this relation so if they're meeting one side they will very soon meet the other they are selling arms to both of these

countries but i have to note that it is armenia that is a member of almost all the organizations that idea sponsored or organized by russia that are concerning this post saudi it's a. region armenia sees russia as its ally the biggest ally and allies a lot on russian support but russia wants to keep its influence in this region and for sure it doesn't want to lose it or doesn't want this conflict to spill over to it's on the borders we saw the warnings of the russian officials that if this escalates can have it could have catastrophic consequences for the whole region. not a feeling that there is a bigger regional rivalry game going on alexandra between the russians the turks the iranians and so on and. well that might be so because you know it wouldn't be the 1st time russia and turkey are not

seeing eye to eye or are finding themselves on 2 different sides of the rope in their boss they managed to find compromises on this issue we heard turkey taking a very clear stance in and this respect almost immediately they said that they are with azerbaijan that they will offer any help or give any help that might be needed so it might turn out this to be yet another. field or a playground for the lack of better word for these store forces to arm wrestle on the with their influence in in this in this region or i will leave it there thanks so much alexandra so you know which. take a look at minsk process alexander was alluding to world powers have of course been trying to resolve the conflict for decades you may remember in 1902 the organization for security and cooperation in europe set up the minsk group with the

goal of finding a peaceful solution it's co-chaired by france russia and the united states with permanent members from right across the region its work known as the minsk process has 3 main objectives conflict resolution peacekeeping and working toward a final settlement of the nagorno-karabakh dispute it's provided a forum for dialogue between the 2 sides who regularly agreed to lower tension along the line of contact despite this been several flare ups over the years and the rivalry remains unresolved thomas de wall is a senior fellow at carnegie europe specializing on the caucasus region he says that despite the region's international importance the outside community remains disengaged from the dispute. unfortunately this round of fighting promises to be the worst probably since since the cease fire and of course the workman $990.00 s.

was a very low tech and now as we're seeing today a much more heavy weaponry on by side a certain destructive power is much greater but but ultimately this is a conflict of identity of territory between 2 nations armenia and azerbaijan and the outside world is not going to solve that they're going to kind of try and lead this horse to water but that they can't make it their own region of international importance which is actually growing more internationally important if in the last 25 years because of the oil and gas pipelines through the region it's a region that borders iran so sure it's the european neighborhood as well as the russian they the hood and the u.s. was a got involved in the 1990 s. unfortunately what what we've seen lovie is disengagement by the u.s. in this issue used to take much more leading role than it does now and cynically one might say that it was by john has launched a military offensive. in the last as it looks like yesterday one of the reasons it

may have done so is because the u.s. is so disengaged and there's very little russia can do to apply a bit of leverage and pressure but both sides in a way have to be able to declare success after a few days and maybe you know unfortunately maybe the casualties mount up and we're already probably seeing least a 100 people dying yesterday and then that may be a reason for both sides to think that we can't continue with this. the new york times is reporting the us president has paid 0 tax in 10 of the last 15 years it says he avoided taxes by declaring large business losses and now personally as credits as more than 300 $1000000.00 trump has dismissed the reporters fall so hard to joe castro explains. in 2015 a year donald trump emerged from a golden elevator to declare his candidacy he paid 0 dollars in federal income tax

times reporting based on leaked information store fake news they were through the same stories eucharist in the same questions for years ago had a litigators and talk about it total fake news no actually i paid tax but then you'll see that the service might actually change the it's under the banner of for a long time. indeed the times reports the internal revenue service audit. concerns the legitimacy of a $72000000.00 tax refund that trump began receiving in 2008 and then there are the potential conflicts of interest trump has refused to divest in his businesses while president the times reports his mar-a lago resort has made $5000000.00 a year in new members since trump became president and his resort in dural collected $7000000.00 from the bank of america overseas income brought him 73
