me and forces cynical sold 1st let's go to rob is monitoring developments from tbilisi in georgia what do we know about reports that both sides have been moving heavy heavy weaponry into the front lines. both sides making me screams of course that the other is using high grade sophisticated weaponry. international monitors are saying that this is the worst fighting since 1994 which is an indication of the modern weaponry that's been deployed rockets and missiles and i think. we'll be able to tell you more specifically about what's happening on the ground because the thirty's are giving much more specific information about what territories they've seized or they're claiming to have seized while the armenian

sides are being much more specific about the casualties that they have sustained and they are claiming that they have. the numbers of servicemen that they're claiming they have killed so overnight we now have confirmation that 84 armenian servicemen have been killed and the armenians are saying that perhaps as many as 400 as aries they say that they've engaged tank units. on the grounds that been tank battles and they've destroyed armored vehicles in terms of casualties we're now looking at as many as 9 civilians dead only is very side overnight 9 year olds go was killed and other members of a family seriously injured so yes a 3rd day of looking increasingly like all out war between azerbaijan and armenia

all right let's thank robin let's continue this with sin and cos all oh she's in back to the capital of azerbaijan so cinema as robin was saying you've got some. words from the fishers of some kind of announcement of liberation of territory expected soon what's that about. well yes some emails are very gentle sorties that. the clashes have been intensified through for. this nation and official sources say that they have about sally's on going over there too according to different sources including our journalist colleagues who have also offices in physically international asia free press fund. as our voyage on may soon and now it's regain of control over the over the city of

the facilities one of the regions as they are as there is for very owns that one of the 7 regions that have been occupied by the armenian forces but of course since 994 the area all most of those of villages have been evacuated there are very few civilians living in the area and since the break away in the 199412 religious of the region have been under control of barcoo while 65 have been control under the armenian military forces but also we have been a real also just learned that in her job and the armenian military sources claim that they have hit there are many in army iranian military vehicles and there are casualties the whole job and city is between physically and album so between. you have to cross her job and as far as we learned from the official sources claims

that iranian military has asked for a crossing permission to be will key vacuity they are killed and wounded the soldiers from. the battlefield is complicated the most intensified clashes are all going in terror attacks in the northern part of the war no car involved and. they're very. john officials have been claiming since the beginning of the incidents that indiscriminately armenian militia forces have been attacking civilian areas according to them and if for instance yesterday one of the presidential overtures told us that our main military has been hitting azerbaijan civilians through azerbaijan soil not from the armenian soil so they they have been accusing the armenian forces in the area as occupiers since early 1990 s. but of course despite the clashes on the military level there is a propaganda war between the 2 sides as robin also have stated one side mostly

focuses on the figures of the casualties and the other focuses on the. control over do it territory as this is very important for people but i have to say that while we are in back here we have the chance to speak to some people here who have been. in the n.g.o.s who have been also involved with politics they say that they are happy with the gaining control of the syrian military in the region and so much in control of the bucko. and still ahead on al-jazeera. a pivotal moment in the most divisive us elections in living memory we'll look ahead to the 1st 5 in from dubai.

cases before you need it before you have expansion growth and the only way to do that is to get people to get tested quickly and isolate themselves while they're waiting for their test results and have a quick turnover of test results because people get frustrated and angry otherwise so talk about these rapid point of care tests that are really important but inevitably they will have to be with a big outbreak some sort of rain fencing some sort of restrictions and as long as the government engages with the public and said look this is only for a finite amount of time here is our road map these are the targets hopefully everyone will cooperate and things will improve amnesty international is stopping all operations in india because of what it calls a way chummed the human rights group says the government is freezing its bank accounts for no reason and says it's been put under pressure because of its work
