see. one of the bosnian war is darkest secrets bosnia they count on al-jazeera. i mean and azerbaijan ignore calls for a cease fire in the corner of her back as russia and france say syrian rebels are fighting for these areas. but on a clock his answer live from doha coming up. another woman is gang raped in india where outrage is growing over sexual violence and caste discrimination. dozens of people arrested in hong kong as thousands of police trying to stop pro-democracy protests from china's national day. breaking the rules

over break now the european union is launching legal action against the u.k. . so we start with the conflict between john and armenia in the disputed new going to karabakh region where it's alleged that syrian fighters have now joined the battle france and russia say they've got evidence the fighters traveled through turkey to join the fight on behalf of azerbaijan french president of man or macro says it is a serious new developments the breakaway region is internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan controlled by armenian forces france and russia have joined the u.s. in calling for an immediate end to the fighting though the warring parties say now is not the time to talk peace to a place you don't know we have information today that is very clear that indicates

that fighters from syria have left their their members of jihadist groups and they traveled via gaziantep to join the fighting into going to care about the situation because. the situation is serious in that region and we remain fully mobilized a few minutes ago we published a joint communique president trump president putin and myself as the 3 presidents of the mink's group in charge of monitoring the situation in are going to care about we demand an unconditional ceasefire. when all the while the turkish president resit type or one says it is unacceptable for the united states russia and france to now trying to reach a cease fire and are going to karabakh accusing them of ignoring the issue for decades he also repeated his call for armenia to withdraw its forces from the disputed region. but given that these 3 mints countries the us russia and france have neglected this problem for nearly 30 years it's unacceptable that they

are involved in a search for a cease fire in the face of these negative developments that came to surface in recent days but if something is wanted the invaders should leave these lands in order to achieve a solution. well but a smith is life or a synagogue or a back and the panic. situation very serious what's the picture where you are. well over night was wednesday night into thursday morning it was comparatively quiet although the armenian defense ministry says it shot down another by johnny herrick helicopter then crashed into iranian territory later this afternoon though there was further down and in that shelling a local journalist a fixer working with 2 french journalists was killed he was from the town of mark today and that's where the shelling happened and the 2 french journalists working for moms newspaper one of then has been seriously injured nick. burns what about the diplomatic side of things any progress there at all. well we've heard

pretty uncommon language certainly from the armenian perspective where i am in is prime minister nicole pushing me and has all long since this fighting started on sunday that turkey has sent because from syria mercenaries to fight alongside as ery forces turkey has denied that but he's now saying that the front line in go no karabakh has become a clash of civilizations he says and a pool of survival and our sack which is what the armenians call new. is a fighting against international terrorism sponsored by turkey and he says turkey seeks to continue in the genocide so what do you have foreign powers france the us the union russia calling for a cease fire the language that the armenian prime minister is the most but is not

somebody looking for a cease fire and when we spoke to him on wednesday he said that the people of northern been attacked they have a right to defend themselves or a bullet thanks very much indeed i'm sorry about the signal coming out there but we got the gist of what bernie was saying. in syria because syria has this update from the azerbaijani capital back. tension is fairly high by the border especially up on the northeastern side of nagorno-karabakh where. this recalled character has been under attack by the armenian forces since the early morning and we heard that a civilian lost his life this early morning in tora tora as the civilian areas have been indiscriminately targeted by the army and says the officials and defense ministry has been is saying also down to south job rylan that the strikes at that have been fired also by the armenian forces and the fight has been intensified as well just let us remember

a couple of days ago we heard that our survey jumble the tree was able to take over some villages to regain control of some villages in facilities strict but currently now we have 2 battle points one in the north is territory and down is the fuselage of area and the officials have been accusing our mania for indiscriminate targeting of the civilians and as also bernard for true azerbaijan is also seeking some support on the international level because when you speak to the officials they always complain that the area is under our mannion occupation these are not disputed lands these are our lands and all lands are being attacked by their minions again from all lands this is what as a real fish will have been saying since we arrived here last monday. protests are taking place across india over the gang rape and subsequent death of 2 women from the marginalised community police prevented opposition politicians from travelling

to the site of one of the attacks india is regarded as one of the world's most dangerous places for women with a rape occurring every 15 minutes so hard as this report. as news spreads of the gang rape and the death of a 2nd woman from the donitz community these protesters try hard to enter the village where the 1st victim was from but it's now under knocked down emergency law was day of the days of demonstrations. we have section one for 4 of the indian penal code active in the district right now which means we are not allowing an assembly of more than 5 people. police went on to detain leader of the opposition congress party rahul gandhi and his sister as they tried to get into hatteras village to meet the victim's family. the police officials pushed me hit me with sticks right now and i fell down i'm not saying anything about that i have no problem i am only asking this question that in india be an artist people can walk

on the road you can't govern people not walk in this country early. and a comment for the not rock. the latest victim was a 22 year old who died on tuesday on a way to a hospital in luck now in the northern states of a to pradesh the same day as the 19 year old 1st victim died off the spending 2 weeks in a hospital in delhi police say they've made arrests in both cases and if denied accusations by the family the 1st victim of committing a body without their permission thank. you separate cases have reignited protests across several states and online demanding justice for victims of sexual violence. the father if he yochi at atlanta can't protect women that it's better that he should voluntarily step down and resign he can't run the government. if the uttar pradesh government is on the women's side then why of rapes happening every other day every other day there are sexual assaults and other crimes happening to women

we will teach this government a lesson not only did both women live in the same state but they were also both from the daleks community marginalized being at the bottom of india's deeply entrenched cost system despite laws protecting what was formerly known as the untouchables they face daily discrimination for generations so those so-called main dimensions ideas regards those such as violence against a custom woman as a serious issue but when it happens to or a low cost woman they are trying to predict their past just in the past right now not coming out as you would want for an upper class woman for instance in the us her head was used she was brutalized she was in the hospital but she was not given to build proper medical care the issue of sexual violence against women has been under the spotlight in india since the 2012 gang rape and murder of a woman in delhi which led to huge nationwide protests and changes to the country's great pools but this time protesters say it's hasn't been enough to protect these 2

women enter to pradesh sort of hired a jazeera. while it had not been surging day who's a senior fellow at the harvard kennedy school and a scholar of india's caste system and he says that prime minister narendra modi's government thrives on the unfair cost. what we need to do is we need to strengthen the communities we can't rely on the bed of the limbs of the dominant caste and that's never going to work out and the world revolutions happen before colonization not upon the venerable and of the oppressor but we took the responsibilities upon ourselves and i think it is about time that the world community recognizes the cries of the elect and as recent as the data of 29000 chills 10. women i reaped every day it's not a country that is safe for any woman more so for the little one because she lives. in

a condition that marginalizes her and this and ready to say at every level off for life the movie represents a certain ideology that wants to establish the roster him the nation and him to nation means something billets to the architectural status there is no hindu nation without untouchables there is no equality we look before 19 fifties a legal doctrine was yet to keep balance into subhuman level so when they try to paint a picture of muslim as an aggressor i said assaulter what we want to highlight is that the condition of ballots which is add to the level of they want to have a free slaves to work under them still ahead here not 0. where then die in the explosion now they're killing us losing hope people living in lebanon say there's no solution for the country's financial meltdown. we'll tell you why the u.s. is blocking imports of homo from a company in malaysia. hello

world. sneeze into euro. head again you're watching al-jazeera remind of our top stories and french president merrill macron says the deployment of syrian fighters to the disputed nagorno-karabakh region is a serious new development france and russia say they have evidence that fighters traveled through turkey to join the battle on behalf of the budget of. indian police have imposed emergency laws in the village where a young talented woman was gang raped a 2nd woman from the marginalized group also raped died on the same day come to

outrage across the country. more than 80 people have been arrested in hong kong after defying a ban on protests the arrests came during china's national day holiday which marks the founding of the people's republic 71 years ago aaron brown has for. under the shadow of covert 19 and deepening concerns over a new security law this was a subdued national day for many people here but at a ceremony attended by hong kong's political elite the territories leader kerry lamb said the legislation had brought stability or hey sam like it over the past 3 months the plain truth is and it is obvious to see that stability has been restored to society while national security has been safeguarded and our people can continue to enjoy their basic rights and freedoms in accordance with the law. some not on the guest list try to stage

a demonstration outside the venue. a protest that was quickly extinguished by police. on a day when they were braced for trouble riot officers sealed off a busy shopping area ready to act quickly to stamp out any signs of unrest they'd earlier denied permission for a march citing covert 19 and the potential for violence you cannot have well organized today but i think most of the hong kong people will come at this with to express their anger. there were many arrests taking to more than 10000 the number of people detained in protests since last june the combined effect of the new security law plus social distancing measures means we've seen no repeat of the mass protests of a year ago conventional demonstrating in hong kong is now effectively over with the movement behind the protests continues so people have had to become more creative

in how they protest like displaying the newspaper most critical of the government there was some overt resistance with heckling. and chanting of pro independence slogans. in the chinese capital beijing the mood was very different not a mosque in sight at a ceremony in tiananmen square a mask of the ring that would be hard to imagine in many other countries today and a reminder of how life in china is returning to normal a week long holiday is likely to be a test though of the country's success in controlling the virus adrian brown al-jazeera hong kong. the russian opposition leader lexan of on the has accused president vladimir putin of directly ordering the poison attack against him the valley is still recovering in germany 6 weeks after he ingested

a full and timely implementation of the withdrawal agreement we stand by our commitments a letter now from paul brennan who has more in london. i think that goes to the crux of the exhaust ration that the european union is feeling having seen the british sides in the negotiations essentially go back on the pre-agreed terms of the withdrawal agreement and having given the british 3 weeks to amend the internal markets bill and by the end of september with take out those controversial clauses the fact that they didn't meant it was inevitable that on the 1st of october underlaying would have to come out with this statement whether it will inevitably mean a day in court is by no means a foregone conclusion there are plenty of ways that this can be avoided 1st of all the british can relent and one route is through the agreements of the free trade agreement before the end of the transition period and the fact that they're still

talking that still negotiating in brussels i think is a good sign whether they can do it in time though is another matter the british have set a deadline of the 15th of october the european union i think believes that's unrealistic and things early to mid november is more likely but the fact that they're still talking i think is a positive sign and it's not to get an absolute foregone conclusion that the 2 sides will face each other in some massive day in court dominant kain in berlin has more on the european perspective. pretty clear from. the lack of good faith from the british side of this particular scenario means that she and her colleagues. have to take this action they have to pursue the legal remedy if there is one the interesting thing is the rail politic element of this we know that there is an e.u. summit going on in brussels today and tomorrow we know that from the irish

government remember the irish government is a particular player in this given the the fraught situation about border control should they be imposed on not between northern ireland part of the u.k. and the republic of ireland we know that the deputy prime minister has said today that he believes that there is still the scope for a comprehensive trade agreement which would not involve any form of terrorist for the controls like that and some form of minimum supervision might still be possible which would allow for a trade deal to happen but then juxtapose that with the view from the french government we know that the french of europe minister. born has said that without the british government removing the legislation that paul was just talking about there cannot be a trade deal so you have this sense that negotiations still going on but the lack of good faith as the europeans see it from the british perspective is definitely making it harder. attacking greece will jointly set up

the treasury secretary steven ocean is pleading with the airlines not to lay people off because they may come up with some kind of new stimulus deal that doesn't like it's close at the moment with the democrats proposing over 2 trillion dollars and the republicans holding off but the important thing here is it is affecting the lives of normal 'd everyday americans with no real prospect in the future that they may get their jobs back if they are laid off or furloughed as they will be on thursday that means no health insurance that means a very desperate future for many many people in the united states has banned imports of palm oil from the malays in company after approving 2 allegations it uses forced labor the company says is disappointed with the move because it's been actively trying to fix the situation for snow he reports now from quite a number. the world's most widely consumed vegetable oil palm oil is found in
