a cease fire was brokered in 1904 but sporadic fighting has continued ever since. nearly 3 decades later with twitter cell phone and drone videos information is a new frontline. in the 1st 24 hours of fighting amenia and azerbaijan released videos and boasted of their military superiority each accusing the other of killing civilians and of hiring mercenaries from syria and the wider middle east to bolster their forces both have also released videos of so she's they've cute. the other denies russia the e.u. and the us a calling for calm well turkey is backing as a by john. the little i got away with and i wanted to clear that not only as a by john but also to is at war with us they are using the main modern weapons and . mission available in the turkish army drawings and aircraft. hospitals

azerbaijan and on a quarterback is internationally recognized as being part of us a version but the majority of the population living in the areas here in red right in the middle of the screen there will ethnically they are armenian and it's controlled by armenian forces then you have shaded areas there we go the orange and the white shaded areas on our wall also recognize this as a version territory but armenia also controls that area too and we're going to show you 2 small pockets those areas in blue up to the north and out to the east they are controlled by as a version and then there is the so-called line of contact and that separates armenian forces and as a bridge on the armed forces in this conflict focusing in on are going to cut about the latest fighting is taking place at multiple sites along side and on either side of that green line that we had on the wall there for you know we have

a multiple team following developments we have alexandra story and it is in moscow cinema in baku the as a bridge on the capital 1st let's go to al-jazeera of robin for astraea walker who's following the story from neighboring georgia robin welcome back to the news or what's the latest tonight on the fighting where you are. well. the armenian defense ministry has confirmed now that 59 of its soldiers have been killed in combat and more than 200 injured and the bombardment has continued. to see some of the some of the places that were being struck include the town of market. excuse me kit which is inside car a bark that's the name the armenians call it it's. by the is a very spot it's it's been held by the armenian for. for for many years now and

a lot of civilians there have been having to shelter from that attack those bombardments have been described as unprecedented by the armenian defense and we've also been across reports by armenian local media media that the artillery fusillade also landing inside armenia proper armenian territory not actually karabakh itself but close to. the as area border so quite. a serious situation on the ground there with more dead and more civilians being caught up as well in this city in these attacks robin thanks very much robin for us . in tbilisi other correspondents and. that's the capital of azerbaijan so in an interesting listening to our reporting there there are people involved in this conflict now saying we are at war with turkey turkey has

a distinct take on this but how far do you think ankara is prepared to go. about it here and there are has already shown its side were deciding what was our breakdown then and if so why especially after the i mean attack in the. toles area a couple of weeks ago both the turkish president and the defense minister have been very solid about the turkey sounds sending it by azerbaijan till the very end supporting them militarily logistically as you know feature turkey also has a military base in azerbaijan and the have very strong military agreements between the 2 armies circle so support supports them with 3 logistics with drones and other defense invest recoupment that turkey has been in the region as the a producing for the last couple of years and apparently the turkish drones are also

used by the azerbaijan military during during this conflict with the armenian side . they say they have been saying for the last couple of days we are going to do what is necessary to be standing by as our john and to defend their rights because they are our brothers that with blood and everything between turkey and us our bridge on there is the saying we are one nation but 2 different states so you can imagine turkey is committed to be standing by as our bridge on. it's an accomplice the base this on their own clothes and as a piece of propaganda point i mean you know what to. deflect attention from their side and if the only responsibility for doing that of such thing it's an awful lot here. recruiters and terrorists from middle eastern countries.

won't be to today as we landed in back you we attended the next press spring by the jump presidency and the defense ministry and had to preserve the presidential adviser x. and soon to be a claims by that many inside that turkey has helped as i've begun to bring free syrian army is syrian opposition fighters. it held every job each other every john claimed that the iranians they'd also bring in the late fighters from syria and lebanon and the defense ministry announced that when they did when they were searching for dubai these that have been killed on that i mean that they figured out that. that by the man that is not and i'm a new military member so this is a very delicate we have to be very multicultural multiethnic and when you consider that even mercenaries are being forbidden to be involved things can go further in terms of tension in the area you know thank you very much sentiment for us live in

baku well russia has been leading the mediation efforts between the 2 sides here and xander story on a bitch go for it is live for us in moscow alexandra good to talk to you again what's russia saying to the competing forces here. well what russia is 1st and foremost saying is that there should be an immediate cease fire and when it comes to competing forces and all 3rd parties possibly involved they are saying that they should show restraint before this things go any further down this about the 3rd party that should show restraint is clearly directed to turkey but they had a message also for armenia. specific more specifically when we announced that they might recognize nagorno-karabakh as an independent state and this is when russia said that there should be they should refrain from taking steps that will push this

conflict may make this conflict escalate the now are actually saying that there is no way that this conflict can be resolved with arms that all the parts should go back to the negotiating table and the platform that they are seeing is a sea group in which their core chairman with the e.u. with the united states i'm sorry and france they're also saying. they're in a good position to help resolve this situation because they have good relations with both armenia and azerbaijan now on the minsk group as a platform of the presidents they are better on the said that this format basically exhausted itself that they did not think for decades and that it is time for as a bit john now to take back its lands now turkey sees a resolving of the situation in basically i mean you're pulling out of it a bit john and that will bring peace and stability and then again this is where armenia asks for help from russia to prevent a turkey from interfering and this is something that they're asking also from the

international community and international community indeed reacts with a calls for the media to cease fire and for negotiations as a way to solve the conflict which is a growing into a war between armenia and azerbaijan is the subtle difference there however within the minsk group being because the minsk group clearly want peace the russians seem to want era's aleutian and what they see as a potential resolution may not be kind of what the people of new going to curb are voted for in the referendum in the mid 1990 s. so maybe russia wants something that won't go down well inside the territory. well you see a russia that's have good relations with both but they have a military base in armenia actually 2 of them they used to have a military base in azerbaijan but the lease expired in 2012 then when they withdrew

there so what is important is a to have a stable and peaceful region because this is a region which is very close to their southern border this is a region which is a part of the causes. is a region of high pressures that in the same ninety's saw wars and conflicts armed conflicts in different sports spots including what was the ease that the russian federation so what they are very worried of is worried that this conflict in the going to get about my spill over to the rest of the caucasus region so that might not stay there and there is another thing this is a strategic region for russia and they do want to keep their influence there which is with both is it a bit done and in their mania and maybe slightly the scale step on the armenian side because armenia realize a lot lot on the russia they are member of every organization of russia is

a member of for russia organize a russia sponsor so there is that they're participating in army games together in all sorts of military drills and they do have a close a comical corporations are what is important for our show is that they keep the influence in the region and that there is not war in this region which will then surely might spill over and might stir up other peoples in this area to do the same rebel and and basically these barrel of gunpowder exploding alexandra thank you so much we'll talk to you soon i'm sure. well as we've been mentioning the information war is already key in this conflict both sides immediately blaming each other for starting the fighting that broke out early on sunday morning then there are conflicting reports of casualties by. military and civilian coming from both sides as a vision as an opposition military casualties numbers which on media has not confirmed and has dismissed armenia's claims that its dealt heavy losses to their troops as

a johnny authorities have restricted internet use in the country access to a number of communications and social media platforms has been cut entirely let's get more on this joining us here on the news. in london she's a lecturer in security and development at the department of war studies at king's college london. is it any big surprise that the beginning of this conflict is kind of defined in a way the very 1st few hours by they fired 1st you know the other side fired 1st and then they go to war on social media. yes i think that date is to be expected in a way because we know very much but it's very important to sort of control that narrative not only full external purposes but also full of domestic purposes so both sides want to appear as victims and as sort of open eyes to have to weasel to they use a false but what is very sad is it's very sort of inflammatory rhetoric which is

really pushing both sides to the brink on to really confrontation these kind of rhetoric is used to mobilize if they're fed citizens and i don't mean strictly on also justify the use of holes. i wouldn't argue that it is the only aspect of yourself of the fight i think we need to focus on what is happening on the ground and also the efforts at finding a resolution to the conflict fun to be at these early stage it's very hard to understand i who is right who is wrong who will show up sons to father and son who is to blame how many conscience tees on huge signed by downright scary are escalating very rapidly on 21 which we haven't seen since trying to 16 and then mean a couple of days the conflict bulls brutal so on and through the mediation primarily off the russian president i'm not sure what it is going to want from this time we

have a different and you mr dziedzic scenario are to be becoming much more engaged in supporting us that much on rates where there are 9 of augment that does that by johnson not actually use force to restore control over caught up on this is something we haven't heard before so openly and so key and this is accompanied by military support so it's going to be a very challenging our reality for the mediators within the means going to to come . situation down ok but for the people who are driving this conflict are they kind of short changing themselves because if your message is such that he cannot be trusted to be accurate by anyone either involved on the ground or involved in the efforts at peace truth is a casualty as well. well unfortunately he truth is usually a casualty of war on and on and i think that

a for each side. there is going to be a tendency to believe we're rhetoric and that leadership from their side is say sell our it would be very unusual for for example the leadership well i mean you know or is that why john openly admitting that they actually started this conflict out of nothing so it is expected that they would blame the other side and it is expected that each side would leave their own side. and and of course that is part of the problem but what you're mentioning is very important because now we have a conflict but their rhetoric on there the narratives are really behind all this arguing she's time during the efforts of finding a resolution and we have seen during 222-0198 strong efforts on both sides to to prepare their populations bookies to prepare the sites for compromise

so on this work needs to occur during the period of the negotiations to prepare the societies on both sides to compromise and this doesn't really happen ok so i'm going to again just let me pause you there because i just want to get to one last point please within that within the ebb and flow of a conflict like this which is messy which is complicated it's been like that for 29 years or so does this also failed the people of the region because short of actually seeing a tank coming done this street because it is a populated area not as densely populated as it used to be but there are real people living there unless they see the conflict up close they can't trust what's on the internet what's on twitter what's on facebook or however they get there the access to information they can't trust it either. well i think for those low on the ground they are seeing the war per side so they don't need to rely on social media on those those why are maybe

a bit further away i mean we cross probably what relatives are telling them what family members are telling them on these can be small in the societies and close family links so social media plays an aunt in explaining that to their knowledge and not write to the person that level i think it is not so relevant what is more relevant is what people will be telling that much about their relatives about their families about casualties when casualties as well as mentioned by your correspondent are starting to mount and their body blocks return i mean this is really what matters not all i think we we have to pay attention to their rhetoric but it's not really the driver today i think the driver are events on the ground casualties mustn't find jane bombardment shelling malls as that by market we haven't seen that for us so we're not home i mean this is very very serious this is a risk. and we have seen in burnley 980 s. early 99 so i think it is it is

a very silent in our situation understood thank you so much for joining us tonight . and. still to come for you here on the news on the latest developments out of stone bill is more saudi arabian nationals or indict either the killing of the journalist jamal khashoggi. and indonesia has spent years on a joint mapping project to end land disputes we'll hear from people who say their point was ignored and in sport there was a winning friendship debut for one time one of tennessee's fastest rising stones more on that story later in the program. the other big story here on the news of the new york times today. foreseen that the u.s. president donald trump has paid no tax whatsoever 0 in 10 of the last 15 years it says he avoided tax by declaring large business losses and now personally owes

credit more than wait for it 300000000 dollars mr trump has dismissed the report fake news we'll go live to the white house in a moment but 1st how does your castro start coverage. in 2015 a year donald trump emerged from a golden elevator to declare his candidacy he paid 0 dollars in federal income tax just as he had in 10 out of 15 years prior in 2 101617 president trump paid just $750.00 a year in federal income tax while the average middle class american family paid more than $10000.00 the new york times says it reviewed more than 2 decades of trump financial records the account published sunday describes a businessman president who avoided taxes by declaring huge losses but now personally owes creditors more than $300000000.00 soon to be due trump's

prized golf resorts reported losses of $359000000.00 since 2000 times reports the washington trump hotel shows a loss of $55000000.00 from has long sought to suppress his financial records taking the fight to the supreme court at a hastily called press conference sunday trump sought to discredit the new york times reporting based on leaked information to fake news they were through the same stirs eucharist in the same questions for hours ago had a little bit this and talk about it total fake news no actually i paid tax but then you're saying that the servers might actually change it's under they've been underwater 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 $73000000.00 in his 1st 2 years in the white house iraq say if you go out and in an arrangement that we do strums taxable income the president's daughter and white house advisor evanthia trump appears to have been paid as a consultant even ashley managed her father's business trump may be engaging in tax fraud on an epic scale where he's using state consultants in i.e. his children to turn businesses that would be turning a profit into losses that he can count on his few businesses that make money but they're only losses because he's making these ridiculous payments to people who are on his company's payroll already the times reports the trove of records do not

appear to incriminate trump further in his business dealings with russia the times did not publish the records themselves democrats on twitter quickly seized on the report a roadmap of possible attacks against the president the new york times says it a tantrum financial records from confidential sources with legal access to the information the paper promises to publish more revelations in the days to come this may well be what the trump campaign most feared and earthquake of damaging reports just weeks before voters head to the polls the route once again shifting in an election year full of surprises. castro al-jazeera washington. not to the white house my colleague kimberly how so kimberly i've been watching and listening to a tsunami of a conversation about this on social media today what's the reaction there in the

capital. what you know the reaction has been mixed it appears those that don't like donald trump continue and feel that this is the smoking gun if you will and those on the other side that support the president point out that this is entirely legal what the president has done it doesn't as the report suggested incriminate him because what donald trump is doing is what really wealthy people in the united states do and i would even go so far as to argue around the world so what they've done is taken advantage of the legal system and the tax system to their benefit now in terms of reaction though when you see it it doesn't look good it certainly doesn't look fair especially to working class americans and back is what joe biden the democratic presidential nominee has seized upon in a new ad he's pointed out that some of the professions in the united states which i should also point out are disproportionately low paid like firefighters nurses

school teachers the tax burden that they've paid has been in the thousands in contrast to some of the year's examined in this new york times report the president paying just in the hundreds i should quickly point out the u.s. president has responded to this on twitter in just the last hour pointing out that he says that these are millions of dollars in taxes that he has paid and he is entitle to deep tax credits and depreciation and that what these reports are taking into account is that in terms of his assets he has very little debt when you compare these on the balance sheet so once again what the president is making the argument of is that this is crafty accounting but in the united states that's not illegal absolutely there's always a difference in tax avoidance and tax evasion. no i suspect this time tomorrow kimberly we'll be talking about the biden trump debate before we get into that let's just remind us remind ourselves of the last time mr trump squared off against

a democrat candidate and the conversation turned to tax why won't he release his tax returns and i think there may be a couple of reasons 1st maybe he's not as rich as he says he is 2nd maybe he's not as charitable as he claims to be or maybe he doesn't want the american people all of you watching tonight to know that he's paid nothing in federal taxes because the only years that anybody has ever seen were a couple of years when he had to turn them over to state authorities when he was trying to get a casino license and they showed he didn't pay any federal income tax so that makes these more 8 now can really i guess both candidates are prepping they are being prepped by their advisors by their political advisors by their media advisers as well but is there a calculation maybe on the part of mr biden side that all he has to do is just talk

tax tax tax for an hour and a half and he can maybe get president trump on to the back foot. there's no question that's a strategy they'll try to employ we do know that some of the topics that will come forward do not include these tax documents that have been released specifically however the moderator could change that at the last moment there will be an overall discussion of the economy we are told but in the midst of all of this what we can tell you is that the white house is already trying to hit back against these reports which are of course particularly unflattering saying that what they will be bringing up or some of the comfortable revelations they say have been alumina aided in a senate republican report with respect to joe biden and more broadly his son hunter biden the reports that he has received some 3 and a half $1000000.00 from the wife of a russian mayor that there have been payments in the form of lavish shopping sprees from china.
