this is the government not the necessary action to really address some of the structural issues we listen i still think that travel is the safest mode of travel and the spend that we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter to 0. and armenia rule out peace talks as the u.n. calls for an immediate end to the conflict. i'm sam is a band this is our just live from our house so coming up. calls for unity as the sworn in that's a parliamentary ceremony one day after the death of. the 1st u.s.

presidential debate dissolves into a chaotic bitter fight name calling and accusations of racism. the new russia really says the rational left would you she was a loser on your list this is. actually cool. and hong kong's pro-democracy activist joshua one appears in court to face charges linked to last year's protests. international pressure is mounting on armenia and azerbaijan to stop fighting over the disputed nagorno-karabakh region and begin dialogue but leaders from both countries have refused to hold talks a decades old conflict reignited on sunday the governor about his internationally recognized as john occupied by armenian forces.

the u.n. security council held an emergency meeting called for an immediate cease fire security council members expressed concern over the port of large scale military action along the line of contact in. conflicts on this drug lou condemns the use of force and lost of life. as a civilian population security council members voiced support for his accord buys a secretive tone as a site to immediately stop fighting deescalate tensions under return to meaningful. result delayed despite the calls for calm the risk of escalation is growing armenia and azerbaijan are accusing one another of firing deep into each other's territory and in another incident armenia says turkey has shot down one of

its fighter jets turkey is backing as a very john open for us to walk or reports from georgia's capital tbilisi. soldiers and civilians are being flown to hospitals you know media's capital yet over from the conflict zone. then the helicopters returned to bring more we did from the government cover. but not everyone can be airlifted he. is fighting for his life in the regional capital step panic it you know. we took the children out so they could hide or run away but we failed one of my family members my 9 year old daughter was killed they either by artillery or a bomb dropped by them my little boy seriously injured my wife is in hospital she is also injured. dozens of people have been killed and hundreds injured since fighting began on sunday as

a by jan says it is taking back towns and territory held by armenians since 1994 armenian forces say they are holding their ground. the most important thing is we are brave fearless and we will go forward with our stock their capture a lot of us very military equipment and we continue to fight against them using their own equipment we do well with this. all the while civilian men are signing up for the duty in azerbaijan's capital who just as they are in yerevan. by all that are our president people here gathered for a partial mobilization which means that it concerns the men under the age of 32 and those who are considered suitable for us by their profession on tuesday armenia claimed that a turkish f. 16 fighter jet had shot down an armenian plane 60 kilometers inside armenian

airspace. barcoo and ankara both swiftly denied that allegation but if true it would be a worrying new development turkey has already said it's prepared to help as a by john on the battlefield and the risk is that russia could be brought into the fighting because armenia is part of the moscow led c.s.t. oh the collective security treaty organization and any attack on a single member state can be considered an attack against. france's calling an urgent meeting with russia and the us to find a path to deescalation the 3 had mediated the dispute in the past. this is the most intense fighting between the 2 countries since the 1990 s. and so far the international community seems powerless to stop it robin for us to

walker joins us now live from tbilisi so it sounds like the u.n. calls are falling on deaf ears there. that's right sami more fighting overnight reported by both sides in fact the armenian saying that this is been taking place artillery across along the length of the line of control that's the line the border if you like de facto separating armenian and as ery forces these areas saying that the town of ted ted is being targeted that's inside azerbaijan proper more casualties reporting the armenian say that the azeri forces are using settlements in towns as sort of human shields and they released some video that appeared to show mobile rocket launches being moved into position in those populated areas but of course this is a war of words both sides making claim and counterclaim. by saying it's making advances i mean you're saying it's it's it's keep it's holding its positions and

inflicting heavy losses on his eyrie forces we still have yet to receive any information about how many casualties as a by johnny as if i join the military has has has so far had but i mean it's talking about more dead and more wounded on its side east. and robin with armenian claims of attacks on their soil is the possibility of russian military intervention increasing. well. at the moment the russian line seems to be about calling for diplomacy and stating that there is no way this can be resolved militarily. it was interesting that both president and prime minister press union gave their accounts to the russian public appearing on russian public russian television last night.

now the situation is that turkey and azerbaijan both didn't know any involvement of turkey in this fighting. which would potentially trigger russia's involvement sickly if armenia itself is targeted not to go no current back but up until now. the call pression yan has been saying this morning that they are not yet interested in asking for help from this bloc that i referred to in that report the c.s.t. oh and at the moment they can handle this on their own certainly if you watch what the russian media is saying at the moment for any indication what's coming from the kremlin it is that this fighting will not solve anything and that this can only be resolved at the negotiation table all right robin walker there thanks so much. now chaotic interruptions and personal insults mobbed the

1st debate between u.s. president donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden in ohio discussions on coronavirus civil unrest and the economy were often drowned out trump has drawn outrage for failing to condemn white supremacist groups john hendren reports from cleveland. it was less a debate than a verbal brawl president donald trump lagging in polls and lashed out early and dominated the clock trump repeatedly sought to throw joe biden off balance with a big blizzard of interruptions that left the moderator scrambling to regain control i was a part of their preserve their way to where i me off like well i wouldn't audience moderator and justify and i would like you to let me ask my question and then you can answer go ahead friend i want to get rid of i understand it sucked but i have to have to give you roughly equal time goodies let the vice president biden

sometimes struggling to get back to his point repeatedly lost patience it's hard to get any word in with this clown would you show was out there were moments of coherent conversation on why each should be president because there is never been an administration or a president who has done more than i have done in a period of 3 and a half years and why the other man should not under this president we've become weaker sicker poor more divided and more violent. when i was vice president we inherited a recession i've gone head to head with putin and made it clear to him we're not going to take any of us stuff he's putin's puppy bitter exchanges on the coronavirus doesn't put you believe for a moment what he's telling you in light of all the lies he's told you about the whole issue relating to covert a lot of people died and a lot more going to die unless he gets a lot smarter a lot so has the president don't ever use the word smart with me and there were

heated accusations over taxes but why did i do it over again in the last 25 years because i wonder what has he doing ok he'll our president screwed things up you are a senator and the worst president is america has never had a trump denied a new york times report that he pays a pittance in taxes is it true that you paid $750.00 in federal income taxes each of those 2 year or so is your tax i paid 38000000 dollars one year i paid $27.00 michaud issues tragedy here and the president declines once again to condemn white supremacists but are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacy and militia groups i would say almost everything i see is from the left wing by trying to be the adult in the room the man with a plan to resolve the coronavirus and to restore civility to government troll try debate fuddled biden with constant interruptions playing into the narrative that

the former vice president is beyond his prime and trump sought to draw biden's ayer with attacks on his son hunter with some success hunter got thrown out of the military he was thrown out dishonorably discharged not true as it's already in use my son like a lot of people like a lot of people you know at home had a drug problem he's overtaken it he's he's he's fixed it he's worked on it and i'm proud of it in his starkly divided us the debate might have changed few minds but it might well have hardened positions between 2 candidates with little love lost between them john hendren al jazeera cleveland. lara brown is the director of the graduate school of political management to george washington university she explains the debate strategy used by trump and by the president did interrupt frequently and he was incredibly combative we also saw former vice

president biden been frustrated by donald trump's tactics continuing to disrupt the entire debate i think the most important thing when you think about who won or who lost in some ways president trump won because there was a lack of substance because so much of this debate was about the fight and not about what was said there is a way in which people will look at this and say hey donald trump prevailed he actually managed to have things go his way that said. former vice president joe biden was incredibly effective in the few moments that he spoke directly to the camera when he was talking directly to the voters he reminded voters that president trump is not someone that they should trust and fact

really reminded voters of all of the lies that the president has told so it was an ugly debate and i imagine that most voters who are undecided turned it off but for even a half an hour expired. also ahead of al jazeera hundreds of refugees are finally allowed on to the greek mainland with thousands more to follow. pressure is growing on but are russian president out xander looking after new measures announced by the u.k. and canada. but . we've got the usual rash of showers across southeast asia some lively ones once again coming into northern parts of the thriller page but

welcome back you're watching al-jazeera time to recap our headlines. mean iraq using each other firing deep into each other's territory fighting over nevada about his continuing for a 4th day. the u.n. security council has held an emergency meeting and is condemning violence against civilians and. is calling for an immediate cease fire. a bad tempered 1st debate between u.s. president donald trump and these democratic challenger joe biden this taking place in ohio biden called trump a clown and lie on the u.s. president questioned his opponent's halogens. new amir has been sworn in a day after the death of the nation's late ruler a ceremony was held in parliament for 83 year old. he paid tribute to his half

brother the late to me. we died on tuesday at the age of 91 a funeral be held once his body arrives to kuwait from the u.s. where it's been hospitalized there for me the most really bill just. as a soon this huge burden of this office i promise god almighty i promise our homeland and our people that i will spare no effort that i will continue to work to save the interests of our homeland preserve the freedoms of our people their welfare and continue to support the peoples of kuwait and i pray to god almighty to guide our steps forward. let's go to al jazeera senior political analyst model won the shot ahmad won let's go through maybe some of the international issues which quite played a role in 1st of all any expected change in the dynamic in the balance of power in the gulf region visit the iran quite was always an advocate of

a more sort of open dialogue relationship situation with iran. i don't think there's going to be anything dramatic changing. policy just judging from the condolences doesn't hurt earlier whether it is from the americans and the every palestinian and the americas clearly always has forged middleweight policy for itself or rule for itself in the region and i think that's quite precious for any small country that once the big role so i don't see much change is that if there is any change in. personality and style we're going to call it change within the continue with the what about when it comes to the gulf crisis and the blockade issue i think quite played quite an active role in trying to mediate that one what happens to that have said now. just an active

role for me is actually a very crucial role especially at the early part of the crisis which we don't focus much about because for 3 years the questions have in fact been trying to mediate the. between saddam and the other countries but at the early part of the prices it was who wait 'd. helped. preempt. a potential invasion. and i think the mayor of. washington when he said that. we mitigated the crisis and block any potential military confrontation. 'd and i've been given a special spec this in the region a status that serves by the way both its national interests as well as

regional security and stability so i don't see any future leader of kuwait giving away giving up on 'd the kind of an accident that's been built over the years. and quite like a number of gulf countries faces a challenge when it comes to budget deficits because of the oil prices we expect particularly his choice of who will be the prime minister and crown prince to make a significant difference to that especially when as i'm sure you are aware there is a law which has been kind of stuck in parliament about tapping the foreign debt markets so quite can get over its budget deficit what do you expect on the horizon when it comes to that issue not too trusting your question is crucial in this sense i mean where you what are you trying to say which i probably. agree with that it's really important. who. will be set on that comes up with

so i think that kind of these people especially the younger generation surrounding himself with would probably tell us a lot about who it is heading and how much it wants to mitigate the financial crisis that is hitting not just but everyone else because or wars because of that and. so forth but what's important in terms of the way that this is this is also important in the world to remember that greece was one of the only countries in the gulf in fact in the middle east 'd. to take on. the international financial system. globalization and it was the investing arm. kuwait. and it built you know quite an investing on for the country that was crucial to

maintain prosperity. but the made any of those also quite cautious mean he did not dodge forward the way some of his neighbors did at them so many infrastructures and. more marketing branding opening 'd up the country in a sort of a more liberalized way kuwait was more cautious because after all who is also prosperous for the rich and so on so for now the sun. could probably reform court to liberalize workers but some others of course the other way they didn't want to take risks because the country was doing well anyway be that as it may whatever the new 'd wife decides this clearly a mass. of people within the country. by a person by industrious that the quake will probably be able to take on whatever

challenge coming up it is one of those few the countries with huge potential true. human power if you will with them. all right we'll leave it that thanks so much mud on the charter for democracy activist show long is back in colton hong kong following his arrest last week he's been charged with taking part in almost a live demonstration in october last year and violating laws against wearing mosques wong is among several activists facing challenges related to last if pro-democracy protests aging impose national security laws in response to the rallies today hey jim brown is following this for us in hong kong he explains why this court appearance is particularly sensitive. october the 1st thursday is china's national day when people here and on the mainland celebrate the fact that

the people's republic was founded 71 years ago but of course in the eyes of china's leaders people like joshua wong very much public enemy number one not just wrong arrived here at the eastern magistrate's court on hong kong island about an hour ago he gave a brief statement he didn't so much want to talk about his case but rather the fate of 12 hong kong people who are now in detention on the mainland after being caught on a boat in mainland waters more than 5 weeks ago now they haven't been charged they've been denied bail but according to hong kong's leader carrier. the 12 are basically suspected of a number of crimes here in hong kong and she says they must serve justice in the mainland before they could be brought back to hong kong now that has become a source of anger here in hong kong and people are being urged to take part in unofficial protests on national day on thursday but the police are warning people

not to do that and in fact on 3rd on wednesday morning 3 people were arrested accused of inciting people to take part in an illegal assembly on thursday and also of wanting to attack police and carry out attacks on police stations hundreds of refugees have reached the greek mainland after being granted asylum they've been living in the overcrowded madia camp in the last waltz which burned down earlier this month 2500 more refugees will be moved next week after 1st being tested for corona virus. the u.k. and calendar have imposed sanctions on bello russian president alexander lukashenko he was sworn into office for another term last week but the result of the election is disputed and has led to weeks of unrest because his son and 6 senior members of his government also face sanctions. the u.k.

debate in israel's parliament the knesset ran through the night because it was going to give them from those who eventually this most controversial element of the country's 2nd coded 90 lockdown was voted through at 4 30 in the morning. outside protesters had come to oppose the new restrictions which will now limit demonstrations to a maximum of 20 people traveling no more than a kilometer from their homes. was. they'd been there for much of the day making the most of what would turn out to be their last legal opportunity during lockdown to call together for the resignation of a prime minister on trial for corruption today's the last day of democrats in israel 3 to try to work with the democrat to move the ball like they were. gene in the war in iraq. for months now these protests have been a physical manifestation of the political pressure that benjamin netanyahu is under

there is no question that he wants them over his case is that large gatherings such as this can't be justified during a lockdown to combat a pandemic. marshal. on saturday night netanyahu released this video emphasizing the necessity of the restrictions and admitting he was mistaken to ease them so quickly at the end of the 1st lockdown he also tweeted an image of a near empty western wall at a time just before the jewish holy day of young kapoor when it would usually be packed with worshippers the message that people shouldn't be able to protest together if they can't pray together isn't entirely his israel's powerful ultra-orthodox politicians and were. for their voters to be singled out so they wouldn't support a national lockdown unless protests were included he's caving in to pressure the ultra-orthodox are doing it using it a little bit cynically to rally their own base because a 3rd of all new cases come coming out of the ultra-orthodox who represent less

than 10 percent of the israeli population and the real problem is in buildings the problem is enduring prayers people singing people singing loud that's been proven. last saturday protesters confronted police in the latest of weeks of demonstrations near netanyahu official residence if they returned this saturday their very presence would be breaking the law are a force that al-jazeera westerners. and let's take you through some of the headlines here now just syria as a base john and armine are all accusing each other of firing deep into each other's territory fighting over nagorno-karabakh is continuing for a 4th day the u.n. security council is calling for an immediate cease fire. security council members expressed concern over the port of military action and.
