am on the armenian front lines. well. you can hear the sound of a drone. soldiers desperately trying to shoot down a median forces have dug in but as a by john says this war will end only with the return of the disputed territory. the cost of that war so far the numbers of azeri dead and wounded is a secret known only to the as their leadership. that we have only one condition armenia must leave our lands if the armenian government complies with this agreement the fighting will stop there will be no bloodshed there will be peace peace will come to our region these images show what armenians defense ministry claims is one of its fighter aircraft shot down by a turkish f. 16 over armenian airspace. on wednesday armenia went even further it accused

turkey of actually controlling aerial combat operations a charge as a by your own in turkey both strenuously deny but turkey certainly gives moral support to what it sees as its turkish speaking brother in arms that is a dangerous game says president emanuel mccrum of france another mediator between the 2 sides. 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 by john's inhibitions in reconquering the garneau card and now we want to accept. more men gather

outside conscription offices to sign up for battle which it does or there is there is no there is no fear and country needs us will go as far as necessary for our country. many of these reservists went even born when azerbaijan lost karabakh to armenian separatists in the 1990 s. now they're on their way to fight for a land medians and deserve hold the we were waiting for this day i hope will liberate karabakh i hope all our soldiers return safely. these are the help. we're cutting into that package to bring you a live statement from the e.u. leads vonda lyon let's listen in. more over if adopted as. it will be in full contradiction to the particle of ireland northern ireland. the deadline lapsed yesterday. the problematic provisions have not been removed.

therefore this morning the commission has decided to send a letter of formal notice to the u.k. government this is the 1st step in an infringement procedure. the letter invites the u.k. government to send its observations within a month. and besides this is the commission will continue to work hard towards a full and timely implementation of the withdrawal agreement we stand by our commitments thank you. what we've just been listening to part of that statement there from the european commission chief ursula vonder lion she was announcing that the the u. commission has sent a former letter of notice to the united kingdom under the withdrawal treaty so this is brics that related news what the what essentially has been happening is the e.u.

is has launched legal action against the u.k. over breaches suit the brics it deal that's the legal action process has formally been launched let's get more now from our correspondent in europe dominic cain set to join us now live from berlin dominic we just got parts of that statement there from. the lion you've been listening and just give us a sense of what's what's happened because this is reasonably complex just tell us what's been happening with this announcement. it is reasonably complex and yet what she had to say was relatively tirzah short statement coming out and saying that the european union now believes that it is time to say to the united kingdom government that it does. believe that what the united kingdom government is doing and has been doing in in the recent periods

conforms to what the euro the u.k. government's signed with the european union that's the withdrawal agreement that allowed the united kingdom to leave the european union remember it's no longer part of the european union but the actual departure from it doesn't really take effect in a meaningful sense until the end of this calendar year and yet now we have the european union saying well no you are breaching that agreement that you reached with us so we have to act and this is a formal act this is an act saying we are now pursuing a legal route because they want to try to enforce this agreement but the problem will be that the united kingdom government has already said several times that it is intends to perhaps if it needs to to breach this agreement to breach international law basically meant that they reached with the e.u. conforming to international law and intends to breach it in a clear and limited way that was the buzz word coming from the u.k.

government of boris johnson the prime minister or now you have the european union saying no that is not acceptable cannot the u.k. government cannot unilaterally diverged from this agreement that it reached with the european union but this is the 1st step you notice that has sort of underlined took no questions that that was clearly as it were the e.u. saying to the u.k. ok right we've had enough now we start to act but it's only the 1st act we now need to see what the u.k. government will say to this because as we know their intent is clear to pursue the british interest and if they have to to break international law in a limited way. as so then some like this all saracens on their senses on what is essentially. a domestic bill that's going through the u.k. parliament that bill has not passed jets. he was in that bill is the fact that if they do pass this bill that will cost you

a breach of international law and the real blow up in the go ca sions between the u.k. and the e.u. could come it does look like the ball is firmly back in the u.k. score. but while this is going on it is important for viewers to understand that negotiations are still continuing between the e.u. and the u.k. as we move forward so it's getting to be quite a high wire stakes here both sides are facing off the official the official dispute resolution process has now been triggered but there really isn't a lot of time left is there before we head to that crucial october deadline and then a hard day exit from the the trading arrangements the continuity arrangement that isn't place between the u.k. and the e.u. . well let's be clear about one thing that october 10th line was set by the british government it was not set by the e

u it was set by the british government the government of boris johnson which clearly suggests that they are prepared if required to depart the european union in such a way the hardest possible way without any form of acceptable agreement between itself that's the u.k. government for the u.k. and the european union the interesting as you were saying about the high a negotiation stakes as it were well it's clear that the european union is negotiating as a bloc 27 countries whose interests it has to look after rather than as it were the interests of the former member state the u.k. so it's clear the e.u. saying will know from now on our situation is that because we believe that's the even situations but effectively a sort of fund a lion and and the leaders of the european union governments they will believe that

now is the time to flag up to the u.k. that it cannot walk away from its agreements in the way that has been proposed without consequences but the interesting thing here is the consequences haven't really been spelt out as was said it's a terse statement from a sort of on the line remember also this is taking place around a summit that is being held all of all e.u. heads of government heads of state and e.u. summit an extraordinary e.u. summit that's being called to discuss all manner of issues but there's no doubt that brags it is the clearly the nail that is sticking out the furthest in so far as the interest of the political situation is concerned as i said before the question now is for the u.k. government what does it want to do because now it is clear publicly that is officially that the e.u. does. not agree so as we were saying the ball is now in boris johnson's court how does he react to this and we will find a boris johnson and his government plan c.

react to this later in the day but for now dominic can bring us all the latest from the german capital thank you very much indeed let's bring you more now on our top story that's the fighting between armenia and azerbaijan the cheek countries of course are at odds over the disputed region of nagorno karabakh sinan course is live for us in the capital of azerbaijan cinema what's the latest you're hearing from. well a lot today has been a little bit quiet day in terms of the matic statements because since yesterday for instance the office shows haven't announced any official figures on the civilian casualties and they are not announcing any casualties on the military losses but this is the far it is very intense and today it is still continuing

our more defying a police ban but certainly on thursday we have got 6000 place that have been deployed across hong kong 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 tear gas fired we saw the water cannon deployed we saw a number of arrests so the difference between now and last year is carry lands introduction certainly china's introduction of the national security law in hong kong and that act that targets acts of secession farted ference and anyone who's promoting anti milan sentiment as a result it's proved a major deterrent for people to come on the streets to join these pro-democracy rallies now sits national security law was introduced on july 1st we've only set about 30 a wrist which is not large when you compare it to the number of people arrested last year during the pro-democracy demonstrations but certainly the people who have been arrested have been high profile and as a result that's proved a successful deterrent on the government to stop some of these protests and rallies
