a rising coronavirus death rates. and u.s. airlines appealed for billions more in believe dollars to avoid laying off thousands of workers. there are no signs of fighting letting up between our media and azerbaijan this are both sides have rejected calls from the go see asians saying now is not the time to talk the battling over the disputed region or the governor the seri president says his forces will keep fighting until our media and troops leave the region france and russia have called for a resolution though diplomatic efforts through diplomatic efforts the breakaway region is internationally recognized as parts of azerbaijan is quote controlled by armenian forces well let's cross live now to bernard smith he's in armenia's

capital yerevan burners just talk us through what happens overnight. we're told it was quiet overnight but remains tense of course in the gorno karabakh however the azerbaijani defense ministry says that the smalling armenian forces shelled a train station in the town of turtur and a civilian was killed in that show and now this town has been previously targeted with no confirmation of what's happened the record of course regarding that from the armenian side but this is now day 5 since fighting broke out on sunday for nagorno-karabakh is the most serious. really confrontations that there be since 2016 and there are fears that if it isn't contained it could spiral into an all out war and that have already be clashes beyond the gorno karabakh in the

border areas between armenia and azerbaijan and bernard we've been hearing calls for a cease fire and for diplomacy to to move forward but have there been has there been any progress made on diplomatic attempts to get that cease fire. well yes we've had friends on the rusher emmanuel macron of lot of hootin both calling for an immediate cease fire and russia's foreign ministry says it's invited the foreign ministers of armenia and azerbaijan to moscow for talks surrogate of russia's foreign minister says he's spoken to both of those foreign ministers on these are 2 for an immediate cease fire and an end to war like rhetoric emanuel macaronis also talked about this warlike rhetoric is to he says that he's concerned about that sort of warlike messages coming from turkey that's up to turkey's foreign minister looked up a solo echoed the words of his president reggie type who asked who was asked

what turkey would do if our azerbaijan asked for help he said he would do what is necessary i have to say certainly from the armenian side there's been no immediate desire to head straight towards a cease fire when we spoke to the armenian president yesterday on wednesday he said that the people of nagorno-karabakh have been attacked and they need to defend themselves so that he said was his priority they are meaningless meaning as prime in our priority no eagerness to go immediately to talks or ceasefire barents my 3rd life or as yerevan thanks very much for bringing us up says aides. now thousands of police are out in force in hong kong to stop protests on what is china's national day the police abroad blocked off streets and alleys in a major shopping area where previous protests have been held rallies were planned

despite a ban on mass process juice to cool that 19 well hole is it comes 3 months after beijing imposed a contentious national security law on the territory that law punishes anyone suspected of what's considered subversion or collusion with foreign forces but hong kong marks national day with a flag raising ceremony on the shores of victoria harbor chief executive kerry lam was among those attending she condemned countries that have criticized the new security alone and said it would be implemented without hesitation so you molen poll finds no matter how severe some foreign governments holding double standards are going to level unjustified accusations against your dorothy's in charge of implementing the national security law or aggressively imposing further sanctions against the hong kong officials who are responsible for safeguarding national security i and my relevant colleagues will continue to discharge our duty to

safeguard national security in accordance with the law without fear or anxiety. well it says speak live no to sarah clark she joins us from hong kong siri you're on the streets right now there is quite a lot of police in the pictures we're seeing but not so many protests. that we've seen a huge police presence where we are and this is where the march of the rally was meant to start this is the march was organized by the civil human rights front that's the organization that's had the big rallies once attracted the likes of one and 2000000 people the last year or so but their quest to go ahead with this particular rally on china's national dialogue was it was denied by the police and as a result was that we've seen very few protesters here today with a few yelling and yelling match the slanging matches between the police and some of those onlookers who are gathered here but certainly we've seen nothing like what we saw last year when tens of thousands of people came here and march from here to add more defying

a place ban on thursday we have got 6000 place that have been deployed across one clone to try and deter any protests to go ahead we've heard some calls or certainly some murmurs online but they'll be more rallies tonight but we've seen nothing like what we saw last year and last year on china's national day we saw we saw the water kind of deploy and we saw a number of arrests we also saw one man who was shot by police so certainly that the difference between now and last year is quite extreme but we've got a huge police presence here and as you mentioned a cordon off large districts and blocked off by your roads and some of the busy areas in hong kong to try and stop the protests is going ahead as you see sara the contrast with this time last year really is quite extraordinary. you could argue that the home government should feel vindicated then after all the protesters have been kept so we're not seeing the violence that characterized the whole of the last time around. exactly so the difference between now and last

year is kerry lance introduction certainly china's introduction of the national security law in hong kong and that that targets acts. session afforded parents and anyone who's promoting the milan sentiment as a result it's proved a major deterrent for people to come on the streets to join these part democracy rallies now so it's national security law was introduced on july 1st we've only set about 30 arrests which is not large when you compare it to the number of people arrested last year during the point democracy demonstrations but certainly the people who have been arrested have been high profile and as a result that's proved by successful deterrent on the government to stop some of these protests and rallies going ahead in 2020 k. sarah clarke reporting live from hong kong thank you. brazil has recorded more than a 1000 daily coronavirus stats for the 2nd time in a week this brings the total number of fatalities to nearly 144000 since brazil's the worst affected country in latin america which is of course the

downplayed the virus president variable so not only has called it a little flu although he had it and he recovered fast and he doesn't wear a mask so he sets an example. people in the government don't wear masks either so and every state has a different policy people don't know if schools should open if not if the you should go to the beach if not because there are all these different rules mayors will say one thing governors will say something else the federal government will say something totally different but the fact is that people keep dying. well in neighboring peru doctors and other medical workers are on strike to man's and better equipment to fight the outbreak health care system is buckling under the pressures struggles to deal with the highest death rate per capita in the world. reports far gone by that in peru's capital lima health care workers are on strike.

a good thing because it will mean we know how our own people will react coronavirus cases in peru recently surpassed 800000 which is one of the highest contagion rates in the world and although there are signs the contagion has slowed experts say that self isolation and social distancing are still necessary illegally this risk is thinking that this decrease means that everything ended if people let their guard down the people that have been cautious let their guard down and start to go out they begin to expose themselves we could see what's called a 2nd wave. a lifting of restrictions in. country has also meant cemeteries are now allowing visits from family members who have lost loved ones to the virus peru has recorded more than 32000 deaths from hope at 19 representing the 3rd highest death toll in latin america but it was up a little al-jazeera. still to come on al-jazeera within die and the
