going to cut about civilian and military casualties are being reported by both sides the international community is calling for a cease fire but the 2 countries have dismissed the idea of talks charlotte ballasts has more. 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. 3. men have crowded outside conscription offices in the capital back ready to be seen to battle what it does that it is there is no there is no fear and country needs us will go as far as necessary for a country. karabakh 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 us 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. plane inside i mean in a space on tuesday thanks turkey is backing israel but 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 which is era and meanwhile on the front line itself and areas around it civilians are being caught in the crossfire asylum consoler the reports now from tata

a city in azerbaijan. around 8 am local a rocket from armenian 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 in the 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 of some of the older motion to talk about them sort of them should accept this committee. 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 think of his 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. reporting there robin for a city walker is monitoring developments from tbilisi in georgia robin welcome back to the news it doesn't look as if these efforts at a peace process are going to get traction with anyone anytime soon. not with azerbaijan and armenia that's for sure and of course now we're into our 4th day and heavy artillery and other weapons being used once again. as we were seeing there i think it's important to let people know about the latest

updates we're getting. with the armenian defense ministry continuing to insist that the turkish air force is somehow involved in military operations being carried out over new go in the karabakh saying that in fact even azerbaijan had handed over command in offensive operations to the turkish air force with 2 f. 16 s as well as we should turkish as well as as ery. jets and man drones being used to attack positions in karabakh now it's important to stress that these areas once again tonight that they've described those allegations as false and provocative. just one other thing to mention peter the mercenary story the claim that syrian mercenaries have been brought over possibly through

turkey to participate in the fighting on the as airy side seat won't go away that story we're hearing now the reports from the b.b.c. that the b.b.c. journalists have spoken. to syrian fighters who claim to be there french media also reporting this and the u.k. media the guardian as well the other day so that story again also has been denied by the. journey with origins and by turkey but it still persists with credible journalists reporting that this that this is the case why they would be sending mercenaries to the front lines is difficult to understand but certainly it's a strange story if true do we get the feeling tonight heading into day 5 tomorrow that both of the sides involved in this quite ugly conflict can sustain what they've been doing so far. i'm not

a military analyst but i have been reading how a lot of those people who think that this is a kind of a blitzkrieg operation by the is a very side now it doesn't matter who started this fighting they say the armenians did which whatever that case may be as aries appear to want to retrieve land that they say belongs to them that was lost in the war in the 1990 s. and this is a concerted attempt to take back territory whether they can take back the flat land the lowlands which are easier to fight over remains to be seen they would obviously want to achieve that quickly and therefore be able to say to these area people look we've got lands back we've got some of our lands back and that's a start so really it's it's it's it's kind of looking like that they're taking the whole of care about is going to be very very difficult to achieve by military force

and i think that's what the armenians believe and possibly worked as a by john also understands without huge catastrophic loss of life robin thank you very much robin for a city worker there in tbilisi. well france has criticized turkey for its comments about the conflict the french president emanuel says any turkish involvement in the fighting would be unacceptable. at this stage i remain extremely cautious but we know it is an extremely watertight situation that said i'm not a cookie is political declination favor of our job by john which i think are inconsiderate and interests france as a part of the main scope which requires the impartiality which remains my caution remains extremely concerned by the warlike messages coming from tokyo in the last few hours which essentially remove any off in the bush and in reconquering no one caught a bark and that we won't accept it. well russia has also been calling for calm across the region let's go live now to moscow and alexandra go for who joins us

from the bureau there alexandra who are the russians talking to and what's their central message. while russians are from the very beginning talking to both sides of the i have to not russia present one of what in spoke with the prime minister of armenia but the yet to even still speak with the president of the debate john there apparently waiting for that call to come from the as a would be johnny side at the same time they are in contact also with their partners from the oil group which is france and united states they say they're in constant contact and french press and meanwhile micron's said that he's going to talk with put in tonight and with u.s. president donald trump tomorrow exactly about this issue now their stand is very similar same to the french stance all sorts or the message that we heard from the security council of the u.n.

today and that is that such statements like the statements coming from turkey are not good statements they're bayne jurists that they're adding fuel to the fire they say here in moscow and that the solution is not war it's not the military way but the way of diplomacy and they're calling everybody to cease fire and to start negotiating do you know if the kremlin is discussing that this at all on the periphery and engaging with these claims and reports that there are people who are associated with other external actors already involved in this. well you know this press secretary of clinton middle school was asked to comment on the reports that the turkish military is in gauged on the side of us to be john and he actually avoided the answer of that question saying that the russian military

scare fully monitoring the information coming from from this region now the prime minister of armenia said that he did not talk with wooden about the possible russian military being involved he also said that they're not going to ask for support not at this point from the collective security treaty organization which their member off they would have to ask for such help and they would have to present their case why their country is a tretton in order to get possibly that support at this point as long as the fighting is going on what is a internationally recognized as azerbaijani territory that's a case looks a very very thin and very slim with a with a not a lot of a lot of success so russia from the day one getting across one message and that is that 3rd parties should stay away from this conflict they want at this point at least to keep these conflict a regional conflict conflict within as

a debate john and armenia alexander thank you very much. plenty more still to come for you here on the news hour including. wade swears in the new army who calls for unity in the face of multiple challenges. with several governments racing to produce a treatment with 19 will go into what's been called the people's vaccine. and in sports basketball star le bron james explains why playing inside a coach with 19 bubble has been the most challenging thing he's done in his career . u.s. president donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden are hitting campaign stops in battleground states one day after a chaotic presidential debate it was marred by personal insults often drowning out discussions on the coronavirus civil unrest and the state of the u.s.

economy donald trump's failure to condemn a white supremacist group has drawn outrage john hendren reports now 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 moderators scrambling to regain control and 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 show 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 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 input 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 not because i want what residue it ok gillard president screwed things up you were a senator and the worst one resumes america has ever had. 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 there's a wager 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 tried to befuddle biden with constant interruptions playing into the narrative that the former vice president is beyond his prime and trump sought to draw biden's eye or 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 doesn't and he is

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 miles. names but it might well have hardened positions between 2 candidates with little love lost between them john hendren al-jazeera cleveland. well as you just heard donald trump did refuse to denounce the american white supremacist group is his full response to the question always that the real threat is the radical left wing i would say almost everything i see is from the left wing not from the right now what do you want to you know what are you saying and i'm willing to do anything i want to see what he has no answer do it say you want to call him what you want to call him give me a name give me a why is a promise as a writer i read it can die out grow as a person right proud of my words stand back and stand by but i'll tell you what

i'll tell you what somebody has got to do something about anti fair and the left because this is not a right wing is there is a levy are direct this is a left and we have got right an organizer of the problem is celebrated the presidential comments in this debate he writes this on social media that trump told them to stand by because he needs someone to deal with auntie for he goes on to say we're ready. we'll get more on that story for you just as soon as we can. has been laid to rest one day after he passed away and a funeral procession was held in kuwait city for the 91 year old leader the new enemy shake now off. has already been sworn in his jamal. as he arrived at the national assembly to be sworn in kuwait's emir received

a standing ovation. and i waffle amadis of off the hoss brother of the late amir took the oath making him the 6th leader since the country gained independence to limit this to the local in ice 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 those who are interested in soprano who let me know if i'm with you on a man who was the shortly after the swearing in the body of ship. arrived from the us where he was being treated before he passed. i have seen 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 nature of the

country positioned itself as a mediator a peacemaker and a source of stability in a volatile region many hope shared no waf 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 continue 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 of a and and and what because they're 2 different people and we might see a slight difference in style but i think the. fundamentals and accord if you like and the drives of. foreign policy will continue to be the same but there are challenges to 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 wants to meet creates 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. a new jersey. ok let's go back to 2nd top story so far here on the news of the morning the day after the night before we're talking about the trump biden debate of course let's speak now to jack kingston in new york he's a surrogate for president from and formerly a u.s. congressman from the state of georgia jack welcome back good to talk to you again the f.b.i. director a couple weeks ago couple months ago said white supremacists in the united states are the number one terror threat to the united states given that why didn't mr trump reject and repudiate everything that white supremacists stand for. well i

actually think he didn't reject them and has announced them previous to that last night we did not hear joe but nelson it and he said it is an idea not even an organization and of course law enforcement group after group said it is a huge problem and it is a real group it is an organized group and joe biden almost embrace them i was shocked at it i think peter and that if it was you or me we probably would have made our positions clearer than either candidate but i know the president's trump actually said what is it that you want me to say about the white supremacist group because i know that that's announce some of these not right jack just just a portion of the jack i watched the entire debate on replay because of the time difference between where i am and where you are if mr trump denounced the proud boys white supremacists why have they literally taken

a stand back stand by and they have incorporated it into their online emblem and they are talking about it because standby is not the same thing as stand down stand down means go away stand by means get ready. you know i think all these terrorist groups need to be dealt with and dealt with severely in the law the law should be blind when it comes to dealing with them but and i'm not defending this group at all but you don't see them doing the type of things that we're seeing in in seattle and portland and chicago and new york city which some of these other left wing groups are doing which have caused many people a thank you know towns they destroy property these are left wing groups that are causing the made. these left wing groups cause the deaths of many people across america namely cities give me take us. to 2 deaths and seattle to 2

deaths and then place officer i believe in loot lewisville but there's been a number of deaths associated with left wing protests so that there's no great area to that whatsoever but listen i want to go hand in hand if groups want to get rid of these hard left hard right it strain must groups that are destroying property and hurting people i think that's one thing we all should be able to unite of. but the starting point for this kind of debate that mr trump came out fighting with because he came out he clearly came out in his mind not to have a presidential debate he came out to have a boxing match and similar taney asli to the debate happening we had his son i watched it on i think it was m s n b c donald jr talked about on live national t.v. about the charlottesville hoax what was the charlottesville hoax there was no hoax

a woman was killed because somebody hits it with a car that's not a hoax. and absolutely is not a hoax and i'm in agreement with you what the hoax was in chris wallace repeated this line which has been proven time and time again this is not the case the president said people who are debating taking down confederates that use this there are good people on both sides he never referred to the white supremacists and the other protesters as good people on both sides that that is a it's been a left wing law has been perpetuated by the press who can't stand trial but if you go back and listen to what he said and i actually was working for c.n.n. not just their time but them very day and i heard him say a lot there were people on both sides of the debate regarding statues. and i don't know i don't know why the left can't just stay in substance rather than come up with accusations like this but you know what where where i think there is

a plenty of room for discussion were some of the issues that we did not get into like their handling of co that our health care or the supreme court there were so many i think lost opportunities that this debate got out of the press wallace's control ok and now you know that your outlets have a mute button for both candidates. that you know is a good idea can we just talk for a minute or so about the tone and the feeling of the debate you know i mean you and i had a conversation on this program 4 days ago you were clearly a conviction politician in a parallel pocket universe you and i live next door to each other we could have a robust conversation about politics about donald trump over the garden wall having a barbecue whatever i would respect your take on donald trump you would respect mine we could move on it would be done within an incorporated atmosphere of respect for the other last night donald trump when i started listening to him i have to say this talking as a journalist who's followed this the past 5 years of the trumpet ministration it

was like he was. one of his tweets given human form it was 200 characters of shouting of aggression of just talking down a man who's had 47 years at the highest rank of american politics and there was 0 respect for mr biden did political debate in america die last night just a little bit. i don't think it died but i think we've been evolving to get this point that there is there is a bare knuckles situation now i think what we are on the right have always been concerned about is if we set back politely then the moderator tends to go over to the left side and all the pointed questions are towards the republicans so i think that's why the president came out swinging i agree with you it was like 2 old rivals at a high school dance who wanted to go out in the parking lot and settle their differences but i think the president actually you know intentionally did that but

remember joe biden on national t.v. international t.v. called president the united states a clown who does that help jump actually probably had some opportunities to take the high road but instead he called president rice's a liar which is also that twitter kind of like it's not ok might be able to say what do you say so uncertain understood so what do you say to that debate that's now happening all over the world all the hashtags you know critics of the republican party and critics of you might say of donald trump is he the best you've got really big question mark because if you go back 5 years you know starting with . i'm going to be indelicate here grab him by the blank phosphor with 2 losers and suckers go back to a big summit in singapore with the north korean leader outs of which he got nothing yes fast forward again to 0 tax in 10 of the last 15 years is he

really the best man to be the next president of the united states given what he's done over the past 5 years when he was candidate trump and president trump. would say there is plenty of room to criticize president trump what we had with romney what we had with mccain where apologetic conservatives who would not stand up to their loss of a donald trump has done more for the pro-life movement than any other president he's done more for the world he's talking about let's get the american troops home from some of these endless wars that but democrats and republicans predecessors have gotten us involved in the strongest most robust economy not just in america but really in the world with historically low unemployment rates for african-americans and hispanics higher and higher wages that have. increased i think he's been tough that the trade tell you.
