a rose garden event at the white house today in which she announced 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. by john says it's taken another village. region that's off to a 2nd life of fighting with armenian forces dozens of people have been killed since violence escalated on sunday about a cut above his international recognized as part of us that by john but occupied by all me and forces in a moment we'll go live to our correspondents in the region but 1st problem for us to walk a begins our coverage this report coming out. so moving to war these are median reservists leaving the capital. president nicol

pressure calls all men in some of the tree service the fighting erupted on sunday over the. sputum region of the gold 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 media and karabakh officials say turkey's involvement is untenable for the little i don't know what this is worth i wanted to clear that not only as a 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 panic that the care about capital have received dozens of wounded soldiers and civilians some patients were moved into bomb shelters you know. we have 30 wounded and there are operations undergoing some patients who are 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 than 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. walker is monitoring developments from tbilisi but 1st start with sin and cos all new she joins us from as the very johns capital but who let's start with the announcement or claims by as area authorities that they've taken territory to the west of nagorno-karabakh tell us about what we know about

that. while some of the clashes are intensified on the north of i'm going to go to wall which is the area which is called tartar also in area. down to south and we have been hearing from the officials that they have intensified they have been pressing in those areas and liberation especially physically a city they own it can also be on the table since the breakaway in 199412 villages in the area have long to have been under control of the our series but 65 have been under control of their remains and those places those regions actually have been mostly evacuated especially the iranians occupied. those territories and thing is talking about them the officials have been saying that

iranian troops troops are asked for permission from the. military to be able to evacuate their military members who have been killed and wounded in the hadzic can't which is only western side of going to go to but basically it seems that the military is implementing a strategy 1st pressing from the eastern side of the not going to go about through tired tired physically and on the on the western side through hordes of bent. me probably trying to encircled the area and then close that circle this at least this is what we can see on the map ok that's very telling thanks very much synonym for let's go over to robert foster walkways following developments from georgia's capital tbilisi what are we hearing from the armenians side. well the armenians being more circumspect with the way they describe what

specifically happening on the ground so they're not giving so much information about territorial gains or losses or where that is happening but more specifically the casualties that they are sustaining and that they have so that they have meted out the is very forces which they say are attempting to seize territory to advance and they claim that they are repairing them so for instance we heard about tank battle that took place overnight the armenians saying they they halted that advance they took out armored vehicles but they have also admitted that their casualty rates have gone up now more than 80 armenian servicemen and they estimate another 60. 3 servicemen killed in the battles and they also say that whatever territories they may have lost they are also it's

a fluid situation and that they are then able to take to take those terror troops back of course there are the humanitarian aspect of this is perhaps danger of being eclipsed by all of this military information that we're getting but we know that civilians are also being caught up in this. more reporters have been killed overnight on the is very sides and including on the armenian side a 9 year old girl and other members of her family seriously wounded the armenians are also saying that some strikes have actually hits armenian territory proper not new gold but areas to the north and west close to the border in these areas also saying that cities are being struck inside as if not in that contested karabakh area which the armenians denying. city was saying this is about i think these areas trying to take back territory that was considered the

buffer zone was held by the armenians after the 1904 conflict and naval them to strengthen their control over the higher ground as well which is what karabakh is its a sense sensually a mountain region and so this is a very concerted attempt it seems by as a by john to finally liberate as they say those territories which were always part of azerbaijan those 7 regions all right we'll leave it there thanks so much from frausto walker. so i had on al-jazeera explaining south korea's success in containing the chrono virus pandemic and political why cases have remained so low. after more than a week on the house arrest cameron has made opposition leader tells al-jazeera about his next move.

1000000 lives lost to the corona virus pandemic despite seeing a high number of cases relatively early in the year south korea has only reported 407 deaths rob mcbride explains from seoul why 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 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

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 when 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 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. thailand amnesty international is stopping all operations in india because of what it calls a witch hunt for human rights group says the government has frozen its bank account for no reason it says it's been put under pressure because of its work on violence in the early and indian administered kashmir the government has accused amnesty of
