a so-called line of contract where the separate armenian forces and azerbaijan's armed forces in a going to care about conflict and the latest fighting is taking place at multiple sites on either side of this line which all about us has the latest. because. someone to whom these armenian reservists are leaving the capital of on president's new compression un could all men into military service after fighting erupted on so . on day of the disputed province of new going on karabakh they will fight their neighbors as a band john the control of the territory. on the front line armenia says it is bombarding azeri forces and winning what both sides are calling a war the last time they force a 4 war was in the early 1990 s. after the collapse of the soviet union 30000 people were killed

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 shoes they have 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 i wanted to clear that not only as a by john but also to is at war with us by using the main modern weapons and ammunition available in the turkish army drawings and across. hospitals in

propaganda armenian side were to. deflect attention from their side and deflect all the responsibility for the us i've seen it's an actual army here that brings with recruiters and terrorists from middle eastern countries turkey has pledged to stand by its ally offering diplomatic and military support the same question who has more from the capital back. dontrelle has already shown its side which is siding with us our bridge on end and so far as specially the after their main attack in the tolls area a couple of weeks ago both the turkish president and the defense minister have been very slowly the turkey stance sending it by azerbaijan till the very end supporting them militarily logistically as you know turkey also has a military base in azerbaijan and the have very strong military agreements between

the 2 armies circle so support as supports them with mostly low just sticks with drones and other defense and best recruitment that turkey has been in the region a state a producing for the last couple of years and apparently the turkish drones over 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 how true he is committed to be standing by as our bridge on. the 9 most off the grid of ours was 1st discovered in the chinese city of almost

1000000 people are confirmed to have died from the restriction on this a sobering figure highlights the need for concerted global action as the world health organization warns the official figure is likely to underestimate the true toll. we collect information on confirmed cases of. covert 19 there are other ways then of looking at all cause mortality or access to those we don't count excess montanans in those numbers you see every day and in fact if anything the numbers that are currently reported probably rhetoric represent an underestimate of those individuals who have either contracted call with 19 or die in this cause it was overall more than 33000000 infections have been recorded worldwide the u.s. india and brazil are the hardest hit with $17000000.00 cases between them but infections are once again accelerating across europe after a summer of loosen restrictions tighter measures are being imposed in parts of spain france and belgium where tens of millions are under local knock down in the

u.k. united states has recorded the largest share of those deaths with more than 200000 fatalities as told to alan fischer in washington d.c. and which areas in the u.s. are hardest hit at the moment well more than half the states have seen a rise in cases over the last fortnight most of those cases tend to be west but there are some pockets that are alarming scientists and those who follow the data particularly in new jersey and north carolina in fact just in the last 2 weeks in a lot of those places there's been a rise of around 10 percent that is a concern of course because the president in interviews over the weekend said that the united states is coming round the final bend but there's a brand new model that has been issued just in the last few hours which suggests that there will be a huge uptick in the number of cases across the united states starting you know towbar and running through into november and december so that does not make good

reading for the white house and use it the impression there that they're better prepared for any potential 2nd wave or is the testing and so on so not up to scratch. or certainly in the next half hour next hour if you want on trump time we're expecting to hear from the president he saw his thing the event in the rose garden at the white house and we're expecting him to say that he is going to unveil a new plan for testing that will be handed out to the governors they're expecting to give somewhere in the region of 65000000 tests this week 100000000 by election day there are those who say that this is something that the president should have been looking at several months ago and is no only doing it with the election less than 40 days away he will see of course that they needed to make sure that they had a test that was workable and this new test which is going to be distributed gives

results in just 15 minutes so they should be able to build a data picture of where there are concerning breaks very quickly but certainly don't all trump is going to take the credit for this in the white house in the next half hour or so when he intends to hold that event and official thank you very much indeed yes president trump as was just saying is due to speak to the media outside the white house in the next half hour if he takes questions it's expected he'll be pressed on his tax affairs it comes after the new york times revealed he's hardly paid any income tax in the past 15 years the president dismissed the article as fake news and says he's paid many millions of dollars in tax but he's under severe pressure ahead of his 1st televised election debate with presidential rival joe biden on tuesday i asked our white house correspondent can be how it can be trump appears to pay a tiny amount of federal income tax in the last few years and it appears to be a lot of debt. that's exactly what this new york times report

has indicated now the u.s. president for his part is fighting back against these allegations not only in a hastily called press conference late sunday but also on twitter in fact here's one of the statements that he made he says the fake news media just like election time 2016 is bringing up my taxes and all sorts of other nonsense with illegally obtained information and only bad intent i paid many millions of dollars in taxes but wasn't titled like everyone else to depreciation and tax credits now what the president's alluding to here is sort of a well kept secret in the united states if you can afford a tax attorney if you can afford a high pace high paid or high priced accountant all of this is perfectly legal the question becomes is it ethical is it moral certainly this is the practice of many wealthy individuals in the united states and one would even suggest around the world still he is being attacked not only by prominent democrats but also some

ordinary americans concerned about this given the fact that many working class and middle class americans pay thousands of dollars annually in taxes and in fact this is the focus of an advert by the democratic presidential nominee joe biden making that contrast that ordinary americans are paying thousands when the president appears at least on paper to have paid just hundreds and what about the issue of the day i mean is there a suggestion that he might if he does a lot of money that he might be open to. potentially under in print will. yeah that's the issue that is being brought up by house speaker nancy pelosi in fact she called this a national security issue saying that the concern is if the president is in the neighborhood of 300000000 plus in terms of debts and those loans are due in the matter of years if he is reelected president could this give undue influence to foreign leaders for example so this is one of the issues being raised by democrats

the president for his part on twitter hitting back arguing that these should be on the balance sheet factored against his assets which he says are significantly greater and in fact he is right in the united states many individuals that are millionaires billionaires will have considerable debt but when you balance it against the assets they come out ahead at least that's the argument that is being made by the president whether or not voters will believe it come election day is unclear committee how can thank you very much. still to come this half hour relief as hundreds of refugees are now to leave less course for weeks off their homes were destroyed by fire. and the right hailing at least given the green light to continue operating in london.

disillusioned by mccall giving the political class what they see. gave them another 6 weeks to implement france's roadmap sagna whose house was destroyed in the port explosion believes a new deadline won't change much and the ruling class accused of decades of corruption won't give up power she says. he gave them another chance i agree but they won't be able to do that they don't want to rescue the country they want to rob the country but i have hope and he made us feel like human beings and citizens of a nation the international community did step in to provide much needed assistance to the port blast victims but in the absence of a political solution there is concern lebanon's parties are tied to foreign countries in particular the united states and iran their power struggle is played out here everybody's stepping up from both sides saw.
