2:02 pm
on the ground fierce fighting is being reported over 2 nights as a bait jan says it's taken control of the city in the occupied nagorno-karabakh from armenian forces president ilham aliyev says 10 civilians have been killed as a by jan and armenia blame each other for reigniting a decades old conflict with renewed violence on sunday 6. armenia is denying accusations its army has shelled areas kilometers away from the guard located about both sides accuse each other of using heavy artillery in the fighting armenia has also reported dozens of deaths. well and for us to walkers following developments from georgia's capital tbilisi joins us live from that as so we as i said we've got reports of casualties mounting tell us what the 2 sides have been saying. so i mean high let's start with those casualties
2:03 pm
you mentioned most civilians killed. and that's of course on both sides we know at least on the armenian side and now and you wrote child was killed and 2 other members of a family severely injured more pictures from the armenian side as well of what they claim were grad rockets russian made rockets. which should not be an accurate striking the capital the regional capital of the panic it inside. these areas too saying they've come under attack and not just in almost border areas but inside the republic of the beit jala proper way away from the disputed region. to the north that say to them to the north of the karabakh area. b. is a very state remain tight lipped about what casualties they've sustained in terms
2:04 pm
of the numbers of soldiers that they have lost i mean it's giving a clearer picture in that regard but azerbaijan at the moment claiming that its forces are making some advances and taking back territory that they lost in the ninety's in areas that are generally in a low loans in those territories that armenia seized surrounding karabakh that has enabled them to say strengthen their 40 cations the armenians and hold that territory for so long so it's very important for as a by john to be claiming to have taken back some of these areas villages that they say or towns that are liberated but. most of these areas most of these urban areas her. have been reduced to ruin long ago deserted in the really the ethnic cleansing that took place back in the ninety's but it is a fluid picture. official information we have to be careful about.
2:05 pm
that kind of information can be verified by independent sources or by both sides in this conflict at the same time diplomatically we're hearing the men's group the united nations security council being activated is a major international community intervention. there's been a lot of been a lot of calls for calm and for immediate cease fire as. we know that the u.n. security council will be meeting behind closed doors later today to discuss the situation. the mid-scale group has been the official body designated to resolving this crisis resolving the dispute but it's been more than 3 decades now and there's a loss of faith in that organization which is comprised of the united states france and russia now the expectation perhaps is all the play is the powers in the
2:06 pm
region that have the influence that's russia and turkey which are also rivals and that concern is that they could end up being brought into this conflict i mean already says that turkey is somehow involved militarily but of course russia has its presence you know armenia not incur so either these powers will be caught brought into this conflict or they ultimately will be the ones that would have to thrash out a deal to pull the 2 sides apart but this is early days and at the moment the focus now is on the fighting on the ground for a roma for us to walk about thanks so much. let's get the view from the asat a capsule back who with sin and cos all now the fighting continues right now on the ground then we have been hearing from dallas our bridge on officials and they have some advance after the most intense intense fight flashes are a killing on the north of melbourne a core of the area it's called. also in the area down in the south
2:07 pm
we learned from the same elfish was that they have been making advance and they are after the whole thing to liberate the area in their terms from from the ok fires i mean and this is what they say there is also another place which is hotel went where clashes are ongoing actually we have heard that our main unit they were evacuating their military members who have been funded or that in that area in a hold of an area which is between thought and facility also on the western side and they in the area called khan can. on the eastern side there are also some advances and we are hearing that there are many and of course things are repelled from their riyadh parent please they are trying to encircle not going to try to bar from east to the north and to the west this seems to be as a military strategy in the ongoing conflict more than 1000000 lives lost that's the milestone the world has now passed what emerged from marketing war
2:08 pm
harm in china has now affected every single part of the world and the covert 1000 crisis looks far from over these are the latest figures from the johns hopkins university global tracker as you can see the death toll is already risen in the last few hours and there are more than 33000000 recorded infections the u.s. brazil and india are the worst affected countries they make up more than 50 percent of the world's infections and then the heart of all deaths for the united nations secretary-general and turn over terrorists is calling on countries to be united and not lose hope and he's urging people not to be complacent either or will this reached an agonizing milestone the loss of 1000000 lives from the coverage in 1000 pandemic it's a mind numbing figure yet we must never lose sight of each and every individual life there were fathers and mothers wives and husbands brothers and sisters friends
2:09 pm
and colleagues the pain this mean multiplied by the 7 minutes of these disease research the infection kept families from bedsides and the process of mourning and celebrating the life was over and made impossible again the rio is a nurse at the hospital in madrid he joins us via skype from there good to have you with us i'm wondering 1st of all what level of courage does it take for a health care worker in the in the front lines of this pandemic just to go to work each day. well we have chosen our careers so we know where we could be facing when we say that to become any kind of pair of workers so we are not feeling a heroes maybe some people are regarding us heroes but we are not such for such a thing the world has much of the world has experienced some level of confinement
2:10 pm
measures do you find that those are helping you to do your job or a hindrance we need to help them out we need enough resources for our health care system and yes we need measures to be taken out say their health care facilities so people will stop getting infected people have to go to work in crowded public transportation they will get infected there's no way around that and currently i mean how do you deal with that i imagine health workers in the hospital still have to go in crowded transportation some may even live in crowded areas. this is being quite hard because we have workers must go to work we cannot work from home that's obvious but when you travel in crowded transportation and see that many people are having to go to work because we don't have forced confinement these people are forced to expose themselves to the 'd
2:11 pm
virus even though they shouldn't be so it's hard going back home surrounded by many people who are forced to go to trial with you because not enough measures had been taken in the region of madrid how does that impact. relationships i mean can you be as close as you would like to be to family and friends and loved ones. it's being terribly difficult because you cannot be c.e.o. or elderly relatives so you will know their put them at risk by those so you have to stay with the children who are going back to school sometimes if a classmate gets infected or and have to stay at home and you have problems again you have to all relationships are being turned around and on the brighter side we health care workers are feeling a stronger sense of unity because we are facing these this war as they say we are fighting this war together all the workers in the health care system so some of our
2:12 pm
relationships are being strained some of our beloved ones we have them in their great. many things have been tingle it's turning things upside down as i think you said than does that create anxiety other problems particularly for being a lot of people are of course experiencing anxiety just been in lockdown but i wonder if it's worse for health care workers and if there's anyone there to help you i mean to hugo if you're feeling anxious. well actually more than say what we are feeling is frustration because our health care system has been weakened by budget cuts so we don't need so much to take it on the go help which of course is welcome what we really need is enough budget enough personnel enough hospital beds to be opened on a normal day even before the current writers have feared our system. training from lack of resources so our greater fear of our greatest creation is being know when
2:13 pm
we do not have enough resources the best help we could get comes from politicians from people who will approve a budget which should be sufficient for such an important and we are who has any of that change because at the beginning of this pandemic of course we were hearing these terrible horror stories about health workers having you know to work without proper personal protective gear and so on now we're you know what a half a year into this have the conditions change as the funding improves dhea have more protective equipment in gear as well as beds and so on. we have more protective gear for the moment but the real programs with a deeper problems happen not been touched we have not we haven't received budget actually in the region of madrid many health care 'd workers have to work double shifts because that is not enough people to be hired their reason for the she is
2:14 pm
many people have been forced to emigrate to other regions in their country to other countries had to germany or great britain because we are not being offered the job opportunities or are they being irregular hours so sometimes you will work for a few days hours even and many people are being forced to flee to to leave so. everything is is is getting complicated there are differences from the face to way past he said now we do have protective equipment but we have deeper problems for example primary health community centers and i have been in a crisis and nonstop crisis seems these begun they have not having enough pressure now they cannot treat their patients as they would like to do because they have to make a difference between those who could be infected those who could not be we do not have enough people tracking those who have been infected to find other contacts these mean that family practitioners are being forced to do this work instead of
2:15 pm
treating their patients so our whole health care system has been straining no measures have been taken to shove the deeper down problems so that's the reason for our frustration or and thank you very much for your time. thank you sam good day. still to come on al-jazeera a pivotal moment in the most divisive u.s. election in recent memory with a look ahead to the 1st biden trump presidential debate. fearing for their lives opposition candidates and activists in guinea want us to violence could land had effects month's presidential vote. hello there plenty more showers across areas of japan the worst of the rain in the
