i don't come with all of that narrative from most of my career but you know it's not like and it's my job to shed light on how and why. this is al jazeera. and welcome i'm peter w. watching the news live from our world headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan intensifies we'll report from the front line. he's already races that just here's the deal i know a lot we're going to be. after the insults and the anger we'll ask if either candidate emerged as the winner of what was

a chaotic us presidential debate. outrage in india after a teenager who was gang raped dies of her injuries. and one of the most wanted suspects in the rwandan genocide will be handed over to the un for trial. now for a 4th day armenia and azerbaijan are engaged in fierce fighting over the disputed region not going to cut about both sides are reporting civilian and military casualties but they have rejected the demands for a cease fire by world leaders is shallop at this. 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 at the sound of shelling reverberates through the town. men have crowded outside conscription offices in the capital back ready to be seen to battle but don't go there because they know 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 men were not born. we were waiting for this day i hope will liberate karabakh i hope all our soldiers return safely in armenia there were long lines to you after prime minister nico passion in all men into military says. the u.n. security council repeated coups from russia france and the us to stop the sign up

and step back for talks. yes the leaders show little interest in negotiation of fortune told mother it's very hard to talk about negotiations especially about the continent when specific military operations are underway it's not clear how this fighting began on sunday but i'm a near and as a by blaming each other. as a by chance is it is retaking towns and territory it lost in the 1990 s. amenia says it is repellent in syria advances both countries say they are now at war a menial also alleges turkey is supporting azerbaijan in the battle claiming a turkish if 16 fighter jets shot down an armenian war plane inside armenian is space on tuesday. turkey is backing azerbaijan but both countries say it is moral support with no military assistance. f.

16 planes of 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. on the front line and areas around it civilians are being caught in the crossfire assume consoler reports from. a city inside as a bunch of. 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 call raise surrounding the gorn a core of all funding 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 civilian sere local sellers that 7 civilians were

injured and one of them over the 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 now their owner of the car is going to tell us what happened this morning not to be on the term of some of the old oh well of the motion to talk about himself a lot of them should accept this committee. for closure wish with the time of took the ship to do it and nodded a mother's face to us that there were other civilians here and thank god 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 they are there is will 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. well meaning as prime minister still down to 0 he's hoping russia

will take all measures to ensure his country's security that's after turkey's president said he would stand with and supported john in its battle over the go in a car about bernard smith now reports from. nicole facing pressure from our allies france russia and the us to negotiate with azerbaijan but armenia as prime minister says now is not the time. our task is to defend it because i was there by john launched an attack on in the direction of. and obviously the very 1st task of the armenians of logan to get out of this to defend against this aggression. emerged from the messy breakup of the soviet union and armenian self-governing enclave surrounded by azerbaijan as a by john who wants control armenia says the people of karabakh should decide

themselves what they want this latest escalation is the most serious since 1994 cease fire that ended a war which resulted in the deaths of up to 30000 military forces have you look back and said why have we got to where we are that today could i have done something differently that would have stopped this outbreak of violence and this loss of life that i want to be there are for that there is only one option to yield to azerbaijan as blackmail and threats which already near and i'm going to . cannot be acceptable. now turkey has upped the stakes offering backing to azerbaijan a country it shares cultural and linguistic ties with russia hasn't publicly taken sides though it has a security agreement with armenia. that's funny. russia has with our

amenia commitments in the security fields to be precise corporation in the security field and that is one of the items in our agenda. the fighting is increased concerns about the stability here in the south caucasus this region is a cart off the pipelines carrying oil and gas to world markets u.n. security council has called for an immediate end to the fighting calls that have so far fall on deaf ears. al-jazeera. u.s. president donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden hitting campaign stops in battleground states the day after that chaotic presidential debate it was marred by personal insults often drowning out discussions on coronavirus of the rest and the economy and donald trump's failure to condemn a white supremacist group has today drawn outrage john hendren reports from

cleveland. it was less a debate than a verbal brawl president donald trump lagging in polls 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 that rating was already got 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 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 it even stuff he's putin's puppy there were better 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 sooner 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 was that was your tax i paid 38000000 dollars one year i paid 27 michaud issues tragedy here and the president declines once again to condemn white supremacists but are you willing tonight to condemn whites of promise us 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 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 a few my. names but it might well have hardened positions between 2 candidates with little love lost between them john hendren al-jazeera cleveland ok the story still evolving speaking on the campaign trail in the past 60 minutes joe biden insisted donald trump should step down if he loses his reelection bid of course the president has hinted he might push back against what he would perhaps a fake election win for joe biden and staying with that story he also called from performance a national embarrassment and if you show up in large enough numbers nothing nothing is going to change i promise you if in fact we win this election this president will step down a lot of bravado he has no alternative the american people will not stand for it no

agency would stand for that happening my message to the proud boys in every other white supremacist group is cease and desist that's not who we are this is not who we are as americans. frankly on roberts is a longtime activist organizer and the 1st professor to teach a black lives matter a seminar at new york university he joins us from new jersey on skype frankly on robert's welcome to the news hour here on al-jazeera trump spokesman hogan gidley saying mr trump did condemn the idea of white supremacists and white supremacy i didn't hear it did you. of course and this is a classic case of don't believe your lying eyes we saw what we saw and we heard we heard donald trump did not denounce white supremacy but it's difficult to denounce a white supremacist if you are white supremacists and so on donald trump has been extraordinarily consistent in his embrace of whites of her as his ideology and so

for that reason it should be safe of no surprise that he had such difficulty coming out against the moderates chris wallace not the easiest television news presenting journalistic job on the planet right now i guess but when chris wallace asked him to condemn white supremacists that was an open goal that mr trump could have taken a shot at if he condemned it presumably he could have secured more votes particularly in those bellwether crucial swing states if you will why didn't he take that opportunity what does it say about him and his base that he chose to step back from that opportunity absolutely oh you know we have a saying in the african-american community point about the poet maya angelou who says when people show you who they are believe them and so donald trump has shown the american people time and time again who he is on the question of greatest from

his involvement in the birth there is a movement that allege that brock obama was not a us citizen to he is siding with the nazis in charlottesville he assured us that. white supremacy is something that he sides with you know whether or not he himself is a white supremacist is also relevant because we know that he continues to at least cause the white supremacist ideologies to the 2nd part of your point politically he also understands that in america there are many people who secretly farm for the last time at the earliest and so donald trump on the one hand can denounce the thing that he's attached to him on the other hand he also understands that that thing can be politically helpful for him in terms of winning the election if we're not white supremacists come out to support their white supremacist breath ok there are hints or kind of off the radar calls in the past 24 hours since the debate for

those proud boy type people to you know if you will in inverted commas protect the polling stations on election day seriously you know one could look at the debate and laugh at what was said cynically in a worried sense if you will but are we heading towards a time where maybe we're going to see those proud boys on the back of their pickup trucks with their guns wearing their camouflage gear just protecting the democratic rights of people to cast their vote on november the 3rd. oh absolutely it is no laughing matter whatsoever we know that already in states such as virginia we have had we have seen essentially mass of people engaging in voter intimidation and so when the president of the united states winks and nods and tells a white militia standby we should believe that that will in fact follow those

orders so i think we have every reason to be very concerned about what might happen on election there mr trump also said however the real problem is with the far left in the fascist movement as he keeps on dog questioning his way towards the name and t. and t. for ok it may be an idea but it's not actually a thing it's not actually an organization that coalesces around one leader or several regional leaders so how do you when your lecturing when you're doing your job as a university professor how do you explain the truth of that to the people you're talking to. well and he thought and let me just say in full disclosure i am a left as you get probably in terms of my own personal ideology and i've won as the left is african-american man living in one of those liberal cities in the united states new york city have never met anyone who is involved in t.v. but i would know what n.t.p. activists if they were standing beside me i say that to say m.t.v.

is largely a kind of rock we construction. that has been used as a fear tactic to promote this idea of a radical out of control that in reality very few people know anything about anti for the ideology or the people who supposedly speak out in favor of them so it really is another kind of fox news right in construction as far as our conserve ok frankly i'm roberts we've got 2 more of these things to get through that's going to be interesting and exhausting in equal measure i guess and dangerous perhaps we got 2 more of these to get through looking forward to the 2nd one that's more of a town hall meeting but given the tone of the debate the choreography the optics surrounding the debate how do they keep keep it looking like feeling like a respectful committee presidential debate between the 2 candidates i mean what did

that what the next moderator does that person have to use shock collars to get them to shut up and listen and engage with the questions. well they have an impossible task because they have been possible candidates in time and donald trump so we should expect exactly what we saw at the 1st debate we have no reason to believe that donald trump is going to be any different than what he's been for the last to be for the past 4 years for the past 70 years so unfortunately as i say donald trump is showing us who he is and so the question for the united states is who are we and that's the question that all americans will have to go into the ballot box and decide on november 3rd because we should expect exactly the same from donald trump tomorrow that he's gave us yesterday very briefly frank biden's numbers were not shifting until 24 hours ago they've moved a little bit in a positive direction generally taking ballpark figures after the debate however

it's the college voting system as well what do you say about america if on november the 4th it's another 4 years of donald trump. it's a it's a it's a daunting and depressing prospect but i think it's one that we should take very seriously as a very real possibility because we have to remember donald trump is not simply a man he is a movement so the american people can get rid of donald trump as its president but they can't necessarily get until they get rid of the movement that he represents there will always be something else so we have every we should have every reason to be concerned and we should remember that donald trump is an american creation and so it's not just one man it's the movement that he represents and whether or not that movement will come out on top on november 3rd will all be watching and i guess everyone should get out and vote and don't carry a gun or ride around in a truck when you're doing it frank a pleasure to talk to you frank leon roberts there from new jersey. pleasure to

talk to you. ok we have lots more still to come here on the news hour for you including these stories. is in is you and me who calls for unity in the face of multiple challenges. and with several governments racing to produce a treatment for covert 19 we look at what's been called the people's vaccine. family members and protesters in india calling for justice after the gang rape of a teenager who since died from her injuries the 19 year old suffered spinal and neck injuries after the attack by 4 men in uttar pradesh the police have arrested 4 suspects a family who come from the low cost dalat community say police cremated her body against their wishes. after the post i wanted was done in delhi we didn't even know

that a body was sent home we were not asked for any approval late in the night there were forcing us to perform the last rites we requested their latest take a home so a family members could see oh for one last time they didn't pay any heed to our request and performed her last right we want justice we want strict legal action against them and we demand capital punishment for the accused. or they have been protests the victims village it was barricaded by the police there's anger against the officers and the government over the way the case was handled india's $200000000.00 of long face discrimination and abuse. this government is against the poor direly minorities labor is farmers and all other marginalised six's of society they are against those who are suffering this slogan of removing poverty is all about eliminating the poor. let's bring in priyadarshini she's a journalist down at rights activist and a founder of the blue club now that's an organization focused on marginalized women

and women's rights she joins us from chennai darshini welcome to the news how can the police involved in this case possibly have thought it was ever ok to burn the body of the victim. to look into the legislation of this country actually there is no particular law at the dumb mind what can happen when the body of victim who's undergone a heinous crime but there are various sections in the indian constitution like section 2 nights damaged us about trespassing the burial grounds specifically when the victim is being bunny in their home grounds and the family has nothing to do with the commission but equally in this case it's completely trespassing because it was the borlase party but now the consent of the family because we saw the visuals where the ambulance with the victim's body was coming into the village of of her

family and the and the women in the family just threw themselves over the ambulance to stop it due to demand and to request the polis to give them the body so that the last look at the doctor but then that was denied so even though there's no particular legislation we can see that is completely against article 21 of the new constitution which clearly steeds that the religious rights of the people specifically after the dead you know there is also a right to dignity after the death so that's what i call 21 says and this act by the you people is completely out of it cannot have been and even though there is no legislation that has no police ok we are talking about a very large minority in a very highly populated country of course but just take me through the cost dynamics that come into play here in rape cases in india. so yes in

this kid's money shall army comes from the line make it community be which is that the community the scheduled cost of the untouchables of india and the mean dynamics yet is not only gender at what cost. or in this whole thing because in how to handle all the e.u. the market is many many other parts of india the other 2 men are not with you because of gender but because of the cost why is this so because once the but it does come in the late and then we go to the point is that if you tell them it's happened and for this why remain for example in this particular to give that they just love from that i wouldn't proper communities which oh by our language a community and the post to 75 percent of the poilus in that region while from the sikh community so they did night they did not want to fight jesus on the undies meant that the dentist but rather they were convincing the family to try that is and this is not just this gives but every other ok. and at home how would you sum

up the legal processes in cases like this and how do you want you were talking about the legislation there how do you want and how can you change the law so that this doesn't happen again. so basically it does just the huge impunity the law is is anything about the big loss but you strong but it's only about structural structural issues that come in the middle of the oil is the order it is that people are on the scene or the strong. on the cd communities that particular region and therefore these are the those high percentages of impunity and therefore the low is fine but the structural changes are the ones that is be requested by the activists is right now ok we'll leave it there priya don't you need thank you so much for joining us from chennai. thank you. kuwait slayed rulerships.

has been laid to rest a day after his death a funeral procession was held in kuwait city for the 91 year old leader the new i mean shake now off. has already been sworn in. as he arrived at the national assembly to be sworn in kuwait's new amir received a standing ovation. now waffle amadis off the half brother of the late amir took the oath making him the 6th leader since the country gained independence is 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 made the law if with a woman who was. shortly after the swearing in the body of ship. arrived from the

us where he was being treated before he passed. out i have to have 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 of a and 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 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 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. still to come here on the news for you one of hong kong's most prominent activists is back in court as pressure grows on the pro-democracy movement. calls for justice and accountability in iraq over the killing of hundreds of protesters by security forces. and in sports basketball star
