but the megaprojects has raised questions. asked we go to protect our children not to lance to. look really. just say. about a between armenia and azerbaijan intensifies over the disputed region of the going to cut about. the road and i'm come all santamaria here in doha with the world news for mountains the donald trump and joe biden have traded insults and accusations in their 1st debate ahead of november's presidential election. the new regime is yours is the

radical left would you she was not based on who is on your list you know this is still just one president actually court. police in a couple that the man accused of helping to finance the rwandan genocide is to be handed over to the united nations for trial. and protests in india after the alleged rape of a teenager since died of injuries. 4 days now i mean you're an azerbaijan have been engaged in fierce battles over the disputed region of not going to cut about both sides are reporting civilian and missed military casualties but they have refused to heed to the demands for a ceasefire by leaders from around the world shouted at us has this report. as the international community pleaded with armenia and azerbaijan to stop fighting they did the opposite now in its 4th day violence is increasing in the disputed region

of nepal no karabakh. and it threatens to spread outside the immediate conflict zone and azerbaijan is more than a dozen kilometers from the front line that the sound of shelling reverberates through the town. men have crowded outside conscription offices in the capital back ready to be seen to battle. that it is there's no there is no fear and country needs us will go as far as necessary for a country. you don't care about is internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan but is controlled by armenian forces when the dispute began in the early 1990 s. many of these mean we're not born. we were waiting for this day i will liberate karabakh i hope all our soldiers return safely in amenia there were long lines to the prime minister nico passion in maine into military service the un security

council repeated cools from russia france and the u.s. to stop the sign up and step back for talks. yes the latest show little interest in negotiation which i'm told it's very hard to talk about negotiations especially about the continent's when specific military operations are underway it's not clear how this fighting began on sunday but i mania and as about blame each other. as a by chance is it is retaking towns and territory it lost in the 1990 s. amenia says it is repellent as area advances both countries say they are now at war a menial also alleges turkey is supporting azerbaijan in the battle to claiming a turkish if 16 fighter jet shot down in a mini and was. plain inside i mean is space on tuesday. turkey is backing as. both countries say it is moral support with no military assistance.

at 16 planes of the turkish air force do not participate in combat by any means today new technologies make it difficult to hide something due to objective means of surveillance that's why it's very easy to see this as just another provocation. provocations that have drawn armenia and azerbaijan into a violent confrontation with rising stakes ballasts al-jazeera and on the front line and the areas around it civilians are being caught in the crossfire and in course your new is in tar a city in azerbaijan. around 8 am local a rocket from iranian side hits right the city's center of tar tar tar tar is one of the largest regions as the answers cool rain surrounding the gorn a core of alfons north is and the rockets fell very close to public infrastructure building which is 20 or 30 meters away right behind

a quarter corner there were civilians here local sellers that 7 civilians were injured and one of them already died at the hospital and they say that they are thankful the rocket didn't fully explode you see a car here parked it has been also damaged and neither do owner of the car is going to tell us what happened this morning not to be on the term some of the older motion to talk about himself of them should accept this should be. for closure should the time of took the ship to do it on nondurable mother says' to us that there were other civilians here and thank god he's a car was older the party he says at least 15 people were able to hide behind the car that's how they risked their lives and he says i can 2nd force my car as long as the civilians are rescued and he says the answer is we'll win the battle and actually repel the occupiers and here in my hand there are the fragments of the rockets that hit the target our city center that has been already evacuated in the

last couple of days and because that became a no man's own. now in addition to all this turkey says it will back its ally as about john by court every means available also fronts which is part of an international group trying to mediate the truce is criticized ankara for what it calls war like a rhetoric from the president a man you're micron's as any turkish involvement in the fighting would be unacceptable. at this stage i remain extremely cautious but we know it's an extremely volatile situation that said i have noted turkey's political declarations in favor of azerbaijan which i think are inconsiderate and dangerous france as part of the minsk group which requires the impartiality which explains my caution remains extremely concerned by the warlike messages coming from turkey in the last few hours which essentially remove any of us or versions in his visions in reconquering the garneau carra block and now we want to accept. the check in with rob walker who is monitoring developments in tbilisi in georgia robin so many calls

for the fighting to stop and for some sort of negotiation but they sides just rejecting that. yes well a nickel question here on the prime minister of armenia did say i believe in comments yesterday to the russian media that they would be prepared to go back to the negotiating table provided the fighting stops so that's the armenian position. but in terms of the words we're seeing on the ground unfortunately the figures just get grimmer and grimmer today 14 killed. according to these very defensive ministry and 3 civilians killed this afternoon in the town of mud to get it on the . side of nagorno-karabakh so it it looks as if that momentum is just constantly there with the as areas in the armenians are unable to stop regardless of what the international community says and this is always been

a concern of people watching this get just get out of hand and there's no stopping it once it's got started. ok robin forrester walk with that update from tbilisi georgia thank you. a day after a chaotic presidential debate donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden are out on the campaign trail hitting the battleground states their 1st showdown there marred by chaotic interruptions personal insults which often drowned out the actual discussions on coronavirus civil unrest and the economy john hendren reports from cleveland ohio. 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 moderators scrambling to regain

control i was a part of their preserve that rating was an article by 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 she was out there were moments of coherent conversation on why each should be presidents 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 that in fact you believe for a moment when he stelling 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 wondered why does he do it 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 ok to 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 him in his starkly divided us the debate might have changed a few months. but it might well have hardened positions between 2 candidates with little love lost between them john hendren al jazeera cleveland. live to the white

house to speak to kimberly how could about the. at the risk of editorializing it but it was a difficult watch wasn't it i mean aside from all the shouting and name calling if you wanted to learn something about these candidates you would have been quite disappointed. you know that's not editorializing misstating fact it was a difficult debate to watch both men seemed exasperated frustrated that interrupted the president seemed to win though when it came to that sort of lack of decorum that one would expect from a presidential debate but really neither man appeared particularly presidential the us president for the most part often doesn't play by the rules that was clearly demonstrated i think what many people felt from all this is that the president played his hand a little overplayed if you will it was too high in terms of the strategy to interrupt and to try and redirect to the things that he wanted to talk about but

what's really getting headlines now in the united states is what many say is the president's failure to condemn white supremacy specifically the k.k.k. and other far right extremist groups fact many would suggest that he may have even embolden them when it came to the men notice the far side of the problem boys the far right group i have to admit i wasn't too familiar with it myself until last night but now there that's what seems to be getting a lot of play and on the right there's a lot of criticism of joe biden that he called anti for the sort of far left group idea not an organization so there does appear to be a lot of criticism about both men but particularly of the president's conduct is there some hope to believe that the next presidential debate might be a little different it's a town hall format meaning questions will be honest by members of the public and the the candidates will actually have to answer them directly rather than shout at

each other. yeah there is the hope and what we often see from presidential debates is the 1st one can be rocky for both candidates and then there is a calibration of tactics and style and so it's going to be expected that that's what will happen and then as you mentioned the format will all those dictate something much different so yes there is an expectation that things can only go up from here at the same time the candidates are also trying to do that themselves we've got the president hitting the campaign trail today headed to minnesota joe biden is heading to ohio pivotal battleground states so what these men are trying to do is essentially play down the weaknesses of last night and play up their strengths as they try to win the white house still a long month ahead of us is and they can bleed before election day thank you kimberly how could a white house correspondent. in the news ahead an indian court reaches a verdict in a case that divided the nation and left thousands of people dead. and one of hong

ohio a bad tempered at times chaotic affair joe biden told donald trump a liar and a clown trump failed to condemn white supremacists and targeted what he called the radical left. in france the country's highest court has ruled 3rd a suspect in the rwandan genocide can be sent to tanzania to face trial at the u.n. back to court for is accused of helping to finance members of the hutu tribe who killed 800000 tutsis and moderate hutus back in 1904 he's been in a french jail since his arrest at his home outside of paris earlier this year after being on the run for more than 20 years. as. someone who survived the rwandan genocide and here's what he had to say about cougar. his name a book so many feelings for the victims of the genocide and for people in rwanda we've been through the arrest the court decision to extradite him now we must hope that things can proceed to that he explained his actions before the court. his in

paris with more natasha on the court's decision and any reaction to it. well you heard reaction there from. the survivor of the genocide in rwanda i mean he said the now he hopes that justice can finally be served because it has been so long that so many people have waited to see the show. finally sent to trial more than of course of the century he spent at large on the run evading the justice system until may this year when he was caught by french police in an apartment block in the paris suburb. and so the highest court in france has decided the police there could be can be handed over to u.n. custody that will pave the way for him to be sent to rich or in tanzania to face that role in an international court he is accused of being the main finance of the

rwandan genocide to funding the ethnic militias that killed more than 800000. took seize and moderate hutus it is as i said for those survivors a really big moment he was one of the world's most wanted men felicia computers moreas had wanted him to face trial in for had said that he was old he's a man in his eighty's and that he is frail his health is no longer very good and it will he wouldn't be able to cope with being sent to russia but it seems the french court decided against that they decided he can indeed be extradited but sometimes with an update in paris thank you natasha. indian activists are calling on authorities to investigate the alleged gang rape of a teenager has died from her injuries the 19 year old suffered spinal and neck injuries after the attack by 4 men in uttar pradesh police have arrested 4 suspects

but a family they come from a so-called low caste dalat community say police cremated her body against their wishes in just $200000000.00 have long faced discrimination and abuse but. this child was only 19 years old she was gang raped in mood this government keeps saying save daughters with their own unable to save our daughters and to these incidents are happening more in the states with the b j p s room that had things but the poor girl was tortured in every possible way her spine and neck bones were broken her tongue was cut off it feels as if there's no humanity left how long a woman continue to be unsafe here why were her parents not allowed to take her body and still in india or a court has acquitted 32 people accused of inciting a crowd of people to destroy a 16th century mosque mung the accused were former deputy prime minister and top members of the governing party the hindu nationalist b j p the destruction of the barbary mosque in 1992 triggered sectarian violence

across india that killed 2000 people are foreigners to condemn the acquittal as shameful son jihad days with us now senior advocate at the supreme court of india joining us on skype from new delhi 992 this happened why has it taken so long for this to even get to court. well i think that the prosecution which is often run by the government of the day took its own sweet time and did not really want to prosecute the there were several changes of government in between including the but the agenda as well as the congress would be missed if the prosecution was in the hands of the investigating agency which is concluded by the government at the center it was only in 2017 that the indian supreme court stepped in and said this what clingers going on for long. let us just collect all the evidence and us that in a court to deal with it will need to be basis i phonetic took the us and to get him

to come out of it the court has essentially said that there is no proof beyond reasonable doubt that there was indeed a conspiracy destroyed and most. of the court said that there were antisocial in him and this front door must be it gives before it had an order on in any conspiracy to destroy if not them who was that then you decide that it was a mob of people who did this and that it wasn't they weren't put up to it by anyone well that's what the court has done in its word victory and it's about 2000 biggest there's been an n.d. so we shall have to pick a deeper look essentially what the portends down is who was the leader from the mark deck and. so it says that the leaders who can who can we need all those people had that spark but not really responsive it for what the

market that it. and look question is quite great what it called it. wasn't just funky as a for teams to not have provided an answer but it only says not proof we want to use them because i wonder though about how it may look given that we've had recent problems in india with the citizenship more which excluded muslims now this long standing issue to do with the destruction of a mosque comes out of this one could there be potential unrest on account of this there would be great dissatisfaction but under arrest i do not not just for 8. anyway and for india suffered through this long enough and you know. just want georgia i go it it wouldn't do you would have wanted justice but if justice is not to be delivered by another. they believed it. would be

justice some are to be sent to her day senior advocate at the supreme court of india thank you for your time thank you. kuwait's late. has been laid to rest a day after his death funeral procession was held in kuwait for the 91 year old leader and the country's new check no one. has already been sworn in more in this report from jamal shell. as he arrived at the national assembly to be sworn in kuwait's new emir received a standing ovation. and i waffle ahmed to serve on the half brother of the late amir took the oath making him the 6th leader since the country gained independence is to go in nice with respect the constitution and the state's laws and to protect the rights of the people and their interests according to kuwait's constitution the parliaments must approve the appointment of a new leader it was

a somber occasion to as the new leader struggled to contain his sadness at the passing of a leader loved by many in the law who are doing well in the region soprano who let me know if i'm with a woman who are the shortly after the swearing in the body of ship. arrived from the us where he was being treated before he passed. for having a funeral was then held at the main mosque in the front row paying his respects was the emir of qatar shift i mean been head of the fanny kuwait has been one of the house closest friends in recent years under the stewardship of the late shift the country positioned itself as a mediator a peacemaker and a source of stability in a volatile region many hope shared no wife will do the same. the color of the kuwaiti foreign policy will continue to be the same and that is to see that the region continues to be in peace and through and conflict to be a result of dialogue we may see

a small change in style. you know between shifts and and because they're 2 different people and we might see a small difference in style but i think the. fundamentals and a court if you like and the drives of. foreign policy will continue to be the same but there are challenges true that the new amir must tackle once the morning has ended who waits has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic and has the worst budget deficits in its history it's also needs to diversify its economy away from its reliance on oil production at 83 years old the new amir has been serving in senior leadership positions for more than half a century including his minister of interior and minister of defense house if no one plans to meet squeaks challenges is yet to be known but many would look to his choice of every parent and prime minister to indicate what sorts of direction he intends to take. pro-democracy activist joshua
