a pandemic others can be spared their pain christine salumi al-jazeera new york. u.s. officials say they've started distributing more than 150000000 rapid testing kits for covert 19 they say results can be delivered in just 15 minutes and they'll be used to ramp up virus detection nationwide this is not the deep brain biopsy that we talk about this will generally done by a healthcare provider but it can be done supervise it's easy 123-451-2345. into the test twisted 3 times. the adhesive is pulled off and you wait 15 minutes and that is the test it really could not be easier than this this is a very sophisticated little piece of cardboard with lots of antibodies and incredible technology into that heidi jocasta has more now on that from silver

spring in maryland. $1000000.00 plus deaths worldwide we know that at least one in 5 more deaths due to cold here in the united states the u.s. total death toll still far surpassing that of any other country in the world how public health officials here are also concerned now that although things seem to be under control to an extent they're fearful of a 2nd wave and they're looking particularly at places like new york city which saw catastrophic losses of life in april then seeming to contain the virus successfully only to have new hotspots there blaring out in these days that we're experiencing now president trump though saying that this nation is turning a corner on the pandemic he hosted a rose garden event at the white house today in washington oust the distribution of $150000000.00 rapid coded diagnostic tests they would produce results he say he

says within 15 minutes 50000000 are going toward vulnerable communities including nursing homes the remaining 100000000 to states and territories to be given out in schools and in work settings. and later in the show we'll look at why the death toll in south korea has remained low. to another story john says it's taken another village in the disputed region that solves a 2nd line to fighting with armenian forces thousands of people have been killed since violence escalates. internationally recognized all the buzz of. all media and forces in a moment we'll go to all correspondents in the region but 1st problem for us to walk a begins our coverage with this report. so much. these are reservists leaving because you're. president nicol

passion yan called all men into military service after fighting erupted on sunday over the disputed region of the goma carabao. on the frontline armenia says it is repelling as area tax in what both sides are calling a war the last time they fought a full war was in the early 1990 s. after the collapse of the soviet union some 20000 people were killed a cease fire was brokered in 1904 but sporadic fighting has continued ever since russia traditionally armenia's ally in the region has called for calm. we continue to monitor the situation very closely we believe that the military operation should be stopped immediately and the process of resolving this conflict as well as a consequences of flare up should be resolved by political and diplomatic means.

but karabakh officials say turkey's involvement is untenable. for the little i don't know what this is going to work and i wanted to clear that not only is it by john but also to key is at war with us they are using the main modern weapons and ammunition available in the turkish army drones and aircraft. hospitals instead panacur that the care about capital have received dozens of wounded soldiers and civilians some patients were moved into bomb shelters. we have 30 wounded in their operations undergoing some patients who were in hospitals were evacuated into the bunker and the seriously ill people are in the hospital we are working on high alert in a ready to receive the wounded. as a by john says armenian artillery struck well inside its territory 5 family members

were killed in the city of nafta alone many more were hurt armenia and azerbaijan are also waging an information war releasing defense videos showing air strikes but without context or making claims that have so far proven difficult to verify such as turkey's military involvement or the deployment by both sides of middle eastern mercenaries to the front lines. regardless the casualty rates a climbing and so far the international response has yet to pull these armies back from the brink. robin forrester walker is monitoring developments from tbilisi the 1st let's go to sin and cos all in azerbaijan's capital back on the stand that we're expecting. as area authorities to announce some kind of what they're calling liberation of some territories tell us more about that.

well some yes we have been hearing from official sources plus the sources in the field that's some areas. are almost under control of the big john military actually they have intensified the clashes in those areas they have been pressing into areas and in some places we are hearing that bridge on officials claim that they have given big hits on the iranian military and in some part they have asked for permission for the evacuation of 5 the iranian military members who have been killed in a wounded in the area this is what they have been claiming so far you know. go and look at about the area there are 7 reaches and those regions are claimed to have been occupied by the iranian forces since early 1990 s. and given the latest tension on the ground for szell's have been claiming that they

are being hit by their main forces in their own soils this area and i'm going to go to. that is actually a breakaway is since the early 1990 s. they belong to our survey john but they are under control of our mannion military and that's why. john called them as all compilers and they want them it to leave those lands and but of course it's since in the 1990 s. there have been clashes between it both sides sometimes law. only intensified clashes sometimes very high but this summer we are hearing that we are seeing that they have a weapons are also. me as we have been reading in the media iranian officials have been is saying that turkish military also got in mold in this fight especially the sending f. 16 s about that we have we have we have heard a real phish shows denying those claims is the turkish military is not in will

direct the in this. but i have to say that turkish military analysts are big john by the tree as those 2 countries have stated that there is today is there one nation into differences they have been cooperating turkish military has trained as every john mother through 4 decades long and there are also some turkish defense industry months that have been is sold to as their big job but as our bridge on military also uses is finally defense equipment says well especially when you talk about the drones the accusations from diarmaid inside that the. turkish drawings are hitting the areas the military sources here tell me that it is right the drones also stop the sabbatical enough to remove the trees so it's not on the turkish is rather drones also plus some local drones for to spy does their defense industry here in the country all right thanks so much. let's go over to robin for us to walk

he's following developments from georgia's capital tbilisi joins us live from there and so also robin we've had these reports about claims of heavier weaponry being moved into the front lines what are we hearing specially from the armenian side. the armenians have said that they have repelled another attempt. another advance made by as ery forces using tanks and armored personnel carriers of course almost impossible to verify claims coming from either side what we rely on as i was saying in that reports the videos the steady drip feed of military videos taken from. vehicles the drones or from from on the ground showing. these these these weapons and these these tanks and so forth being taken out the armenians are also giving details about their own casualties. and not doing.

they they say now that they've lost over 80 servicemen. in this latest overnight fighting they have claimed to have killed more than 60 servicemen but it's. very simply not giving that information out as possibly a reason for that because back in july when when there was fighting. back in. karabakh put it to the north. the information coming out proved quite damaging for the azeris infuriated the public because some very senior military figures were killed including a major general i think they've they don't want that kind of information to come out and affect morale. another thing that's important to consider is that yes it seems that the doing their best to take back control of the territory that the

armenians have held since the 1990 s. . as a kind of buffer zone around karabakh those territories that scene and was referring to it's really kind of like a no man's land and the village is the. those towns are mostly in ruins and very little people are actually living there in some of those areas so it's a kind of back and forth and attrition war as well that seems to be going on the moment where hilltops or or small settlements can be taken and then retaken and at the moment of course difficult to say more other than to be reporting on what we're hearing from. our apologize there we lost the audio connection with robinho come back to me later . still to come on al-jazeera explaining south korea's success in containing the

crown of bars and demick we'll look at why cases have remained so low. hello there plenty of unsettled weather across areas of europe we have seen some clear skies across areas in the south across the mediterranean and that is good because we have of course had some terrible flooding in areas over italy look at this a very deep water on the roads in rome and then into southern areas of italy not far from naples this is the state of this village some torrential rains brought the mud in and now it's all about clearing the way now to go through tuesday one and 2 more showers further to the south in italy and again widespread across areas of the balkans the some heavier rain working its way from romania on into southern areas of ukraine but it's a very unsettled picture plenty of cloud around and the night as another system

just wasting in the wings there on its way towards the u.k. once again the winds will be strong and the rain at times could be very heavy pushing across into western france and eventually this front will also sweep across the southwest but the skies mostly clear at by wednesday across much of the central mediterranean so london for the next few days it's fairly unsettled some heavier rain towards the end of the week how much is a little bit below the average still for this time of year draw the more unsettled in paris plenty of over the next few days and madrid a good couple of days right on friday. keeping law and order is a primary function of any state. when protecting the people became police brutality a domestic incident became a global lark. in

a country torn apart by racial inequality. when americans find a leader to unite. all of the key issues of the us elections. on al-jazeera. ruth. come back it's time to recap our headlines now global coronavirus deaths of the past 1000000 the u.n. secretary general described it as a mind numbing and agonizing monster is warning against misinformation and complacency the u.s. brazil and india account for nearly half of the world's deaths from coronavirus about one in 5 have been in the u.s.

. john says it's taken another village in the disputed nagorno-karabakh region that's after a 2nd night of 5 in with armenian forces dozens have been killed since violence escalated on sunday. and back to our top story the 1000000 lives lost to the coronavirus pandemic this one is saying a high number of cases relatively early in the year south korea has only reported 407 deaths. explains from seoul while the numbers in south korea have remained low. i don't think there's any secret remedy they tended to do what most other countries have done but they took it from the very start very seriously and did it in a very timely fashion in some respects south korea maybe already had a had a head start and advantage in that it's been through an experience of pandemics before it was a badly affected by sars in 2003 again from china and also by mers from the middle

east much later so it already has in place a very good public health systems for detecting dealing with outbreaks and pandemics in fact they do a twice annual exercise a simulation run but by all of these public health officials in the last one was done just last december so they're already looking around with the system in place but also working very closely with with private companies there are a lot of large corporations here and very early on the government got together with those companies and said ok we're going in the tests we're going to lead a lot of them we can guarantee we will buy all of these tests off you they fast tracked the system to put in place so they set out from the very beginning a very good tracing and tracking system which is really kept the numbers very low we had a large outbreak in february in daegu down in the southeast of the country and we've had a small outbreaks since then but you have a lot of public cooperation the government says wear masks everyone wears masks the

economy has never actually closed down people talk about lock downs and there have been certain restrictions on some companies here in south korea but basically the economy has kept going menard is seeing a surge in infections its number of cases has doubled in the past week to more than 11600 that's creating concern in neighboring thailand scott hyder reports on the time in maher border. the northernmost stretch of thailand's border with myanmar is a natural one the dawning young young mountain range while the landscape might be beautiful it makes it difficult for thai army patrols to search for migrants crossing illegally with concern growing over myanmar's increasing coded 1000 cases those patrols have grown bigger and more frequent this says the number of migrants attempting to cross has surged over the last several weeks thailand has been much more successful in controlling kovan $1000.00 and has better health care the thai

border areas are on high alert many of the crossings take place at night making it easier to avoid being caught but also increasing the danger one of those migrants who risk their night crossing a mother of 2 in thailand illegally were hiding her face and used to sort of a car that was on the thai side of the border but in may she sneaked back into myanmar to see her mother before she died she returned to her house a few weeks ago it's been tense with her time neighbors since. she says they treat her like a disease and informed local authorities that she returned home warm and burma everybody is scared of it but it was absolutely necessary for us to come back i was prepared to notify the local health all in tears and the head of the village. it was along this stretch of the psi river that serves as the boarder that and her daughter snuck back into thailand because of monsoonal rains it was swollen and fast moving her daughter had to ride on the shoulders of someone who was crossing

at the same time. it's not just ann's neighborhood one group that works with migrants is also seeing cases of locals alerting authorities about people who've crossed illegally i mean if they come into the community at illegally crossing people see them they will notify immigration they don't care there's only a trickle of cargo passing through the usually bustling may side border post since the rapid spread in me and more and more precautions have been put in place at the official crossing we coordinate with the department of disease control to intensify the checking of cockle vehicles and it drivers but as the situation worsens in myanmar people seeking safety in better health care will continue to take the risk and cross over any way they can it's got harder al jazeera may sigh thailand amnesty international is stopping all operations in india because of what it calls a witch hunt the human rights group says the government is freezing its bank
