television of a 1000000 tanks and other hardware proof the army says of terror troop taken in the disputed accountable region all of them with the riley billeting our navy lands from the enemy we see several pieces of enemy heart of them to our military bases currently the fighting continues we are liberating our lands from occupation videos released on thursday show the unrelenting destruction from the air drones targeting armenian guns and military convoys the region is officially part of azerbaijan but it's run by separatist oh medians it has taken 6 days for world leaders to jointly call for armenia and azerbaijan to return to peace talks known as the minsk process with a warning from french president emmanuel mccrone the turkey to cease its

involvement in the conflict this is a pretty dark we have information today that is very clear that indicates that fighters from syria have left their their members of jihadist groups and they travelled via gaziantep to join the fighting in the going to karabakh turkish president richard tayyip erdogan has pledged azerbaijan his country's full support and says the time for total is over music you should learn given that these 3 mints countries the u.s. russia and france have neglected this problem for nearly 30 years it's unacceptable that they are involved in a search for a ceasefire 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. the true gains or losses being made on the battlefield. this armenian military suggests it's full says are resisting and in some cases retaking

lost positions but what is known is that the violence continues to injure and kill civilians in the town of matula on thursday. 2 french journalists from the mourned one is now critical condition. for a steelworker which is here. well it's an hour from boehner smith who's in the prime of kurds in going to car back and he says that neither side is willing to negotiate for a cease fire. i mean his defense ministry says that on thursday morning and azerbaijani helicopter was shot down by them and then went on to crash in iranian territory and then there was shelling on thursday afternoon into the go no karabakh territory and it was during that shelling in a town called martini that a local journalist was killed and he was working with 2 french journalists from le monde's newspaper and one of those journalists was also seriously injured i mean is

a prime minister nicole says that he believes turkey is sending fighters from syria and mercenaries from syria to fight alongside the azerbaijani forces and he now says that the front line in the going to karabakh has become a clash of civilizations and a battle of survival an art suck that's what the armenians call nagorno-karabakh is fighting against international terrorism sponsored by turkey so no mood certainly from the armenian side to look towards a cease fire and talks at this stage well let's hear from you see them cause here or now who has this update from azerbaijan's capital of bucko. tension is fairly high by the border especially up on the north eastern side of nagorno-karabakh where. this recall territory 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 discriminately 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 the fight has been intensified as well just let us remember a couple of days ago we heard that azerbaijan by the tree was able to take over some villages to regain control of some villages in for the strict but current the now we have 2 battle points one in the north is tara tara and down the area and the officials have been accusing our mania for indiscriminate targeting of the civilians and as also. put through 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 i remain your patient these are not disputed lands these are

our lands and all events are being attacked by their minions again from all lands this is what the as a real fish will say i've been saying since we arrived here last monday well let's pull strong skee who's a senior fellow at the russia and eurasia program for international peace joining us from washington d.c. so paul this issue of syrian fighters are mercenaries turkey is denying it france and russia say it's true if it is one of the implications of it. well it's deeply troubling if it is and both the azerbaijani and armenian gover turkish government says you say are are denying this and denying this 1st lee however over the last few days there's become increasingly a little bit more evidence 1st in the russian press than the european press and i think now with macro and publicly stating this and and the russians clearly indicating that it is quite disturbing this isn't the 1st time we will have seen

mercenaries and rebel groups involved in this conflict it happened in the 1990 s. where we had chechens and and large members of the armenian diaspora coming out from all around the world to help fight this war but it's not something we've seen in the past 20 years and i think it's particularly disturbing given the sort of the fact that turkey and russia are at loggerheads in syria they're at loggerheads in libya and in many of these places they're also using proxies and so i think this is a very unwelcome development if it indeed is true right and who would have facilitated this and why. it seems to be you know the turks are facilitating it why is the big question i don't quite understand why a country like azerbaijan which is spent so much money in hansing its military. it is a shia country why they would be importing sunni irregular forces but again they did it in the past 20 years ago and i think. you know as a result has always had

a difficult time when it comes to retaking this territory and i think this is a way in which both turkey and azerbaijan can can have some deniability both to their own populations as well as the international community particularly if this. if the war does not go as they as they hope it does generally pull what do you make of what's happening and the fact that when treaties to a cease fire so if be ignored by both sides. i think we are seeing this happen at some of the worst times it could happen in the good in the global environment we have the cove in 1000 pandemic we have the us elections so europe and the united states are really not paying attention the united states used to be highly involved in previous administrations but not so much in the trumpet ministration and we're also seeing i think the limits of russian power in the past in that when they had a war 4 years ago russia within 4 days they were able to convene everyone get them

to the sides get them to a cease fire which the united states france european union all the other parties blessed at this time russia does not seem to be able to do that and it doesn't even look like russia is able to get the president believes president putin is not able to get the as a result the president on the phone there's no record of any phone calls between moscow and baku at the head of state level since this all started even though there's plenty of phone calls going across capitals elsewhere dealing with this and so i think this also is it impacts you know the fact that russia is struggling to bring this under under control and i think that in part because of turkey's much more assertive role and much more sort of backing of azerbaijan this time given everything you said what's the danger of this escalating. that my certainly think this is you know it does have a dangerous potential to escalate it certainly could escalate into sort of the proxy type battles we are seeing between russia and turkey elsewhere in the world i

think you know the fact that this could bubble over into iran as well is disconcerting and i know iran has also urged calm it's also criticized these reports of irregular forces now being deployed. and i think we also need to remember that you know russia is a obligated as a treaty ally of armenia if armenia itself not in a corner kauravas that the territory but if armenia proper and the international boundaries of armenia are threatened or attacked armenia can ask russia for assistance and that would then you know armenia and the c.s.t. oh in a in a conflict in which a nato ally is participating i hope we don't go there i hope you know the international community and i do know the united states russian and french presidents today came out with a strong statement a unified statement. but i think they're all recognizing this if you're going to do this as both for the region and the wider already area pulled strings can we do appreciate your time thanks very much indeed for that thank you all right let's get

the view of the u.s. administration we can join can be how could the white house kimberly what's been the latest reaction from the. i asked the white house press secretary about this statement that has been issued by the united states france and also russia the requests by these 3 world powers for there to be a halt in the escalation of violence there certainly is the feeling here in washington that this sort of form of a diplomatic confrontation if you will could fuel tensions between both russia and turkey so i asked the white house press secretary about that and if there are fears in the white house that this could ask late beyond a regional tension. the president trump along with president putin as you noted and president mccrone representing the co-chair countries of the. group released a statement condemning in the strongest terms the recent escalation of the violence

along the line of contact in the conflict zone and we call for an immediate cessation of hostilities between the relevant military forces and we also call on the leaders of armenia and azerbaijan to commit without delay to resuming substantive negotiations in good faith and without preconditions under the auspices of the o.s.c. e. group co-chairs. now the u.s. president was asked about this on sunday at that time he said that he is looking at the very strongly that he believes the united states has good relationships in the region and if so will try to use those relationships to see the violence and the confrontation this is what has followed now this statement being issued by the united states russia as well as france and russia but in terms of the next steps it appears that this white house is looking towards the mechanisms of the makes group to try and quell the hostilities. thanks to. washington d.c.

at the white house. plenty more still ahead on the news hour including more on why activists in egypt are calling for a friday of anger rally in cairo. why free speech activists have criticized turkey over its new social media rules. and never talk about how this way into the next round of the french teacher will be the reaction it's all. the protests are taking place across india over the gang rape and subsequent death of 2 women from the marginalised community india is regarded as one of the world's most dangerous places for women with a rape occurring every 15 minutes that's according to official data and cost discrimination is added another layer to the nationwide outrage over the crimes in the state of pradesh police prevented opposition politicians from traveling to the site of $1.00 of the attacks so hot it has 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 brought in on thursday off to 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 abiola one of the police officials pushed me hit me with states 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 they can't govern cannot walk in this country only more they can walk and a comment for the not block. their latest victim. it was a 22 year old who died on tuesday on our 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 after 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 caste system despite rules protecting what was formerly known as the untouchables they face daily discrimination for generations so those so-called main dimensions idea regards there's such a violence against a custom and 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 a couple was 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 in a to pradesh sort of al-jazeera. or searching day is a senior fellow at the harvard kennedy school and he says prime minister narendra

modi's government thrives on the unfair call system. 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 on the wall revolutions happen before colonization not upon the venerable and some da pressure 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 children 10. women are raped every day it's not a country that is safe for any woman more so for the little one because she lives. act in a condition that marginalizes her and this and right into science at every level often life be it being have not only gender never living a cost but also our class and the spatial location where she is based this adds

into what we see of nasty a slow genocidal tendencies that happen upon the lights and i think it's a part of the ballot that we have to see how human rights are framed and how new policy that we have imagined have to go to the humanity of those most wonderful poor oppressed the the movie represents a certain ideological that wants to establish. a hindu nation and hindu nation means something given a village to the untouchable status there is no hindu nation without untouchables there is no equality if we look before 19 fifties a legal doctrine was yet to keep bullets into some human level so when they try to paint a picture of muslim as an aggressor as an assault or what they want to hide is that the condition of ballots which is add to the level of they want to have a free slaves to work under them and that's why they have created this whole the regime of trying to out muslims which then again of course get to receive the flak

for they all being muslim but here in the deli the sense is that let's are also hindus. how do you then justify this and no nationalist no hindu bandwagon have even condemned us to say that this was a hindu and by the way the book the girl who was raped a gang raped while the hindu herself a parent where saying they wanted to do the last rites in the hindu ritual so the more the or even this yorkie the b.g.p. has a very strict idea that they have ensured that the delicate dignity and delicate rights have been caught and one of the 1st we want to make the discourse about what they did with barbary and the issue that had to do with the c.n.r. c. but their intention is to change the constitution and once you mend with the constitution then you can easily subjugate the lib population. the european union

has announced it is launching legal action against the u.k. over plans to breach parts of the brics agreement and says a bill now before the british parliament would violate international law when it comes to trade rules in northern ireland prime minister bruce johnson has admitted it breaks the rules but says it's necessary to protect jobs in the integrity of the u.k.'s internal market european commission president. made the announcement this morning and the commission has decided to send a letter farmer 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 the commission will continue to work hard towards a full and timely implementation of the withdrawal agreement we stand by our commitments. paul brennan is in london with more. the last line of the lane

statement i thought was important we stand by our commitments she said and i think that goes to the crux of the excess 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 the land 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 to 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 thinks 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. russian opposition leader links in of on that he has accused president vladimir putin of directly ordering the poison attack against him around the still recovering in germany 6 weeks after he ingested the soviet era nerve agent he told the people magazine that an order from putin is the only explanation crimean has dismissed in around these allegations as absolutely groundless and unacceptable. now egyptian activists are calling for further protests against president sisi under the slogan friday of anger and they're calling for protests in the heart of the capital cairo tahrir square there's been fury across the country after police

reportedly shot and killed a man while making arrest in the media area in looks or a security forces have been deployed in large numbers this follows nearly a week of protests in several cities of the worsening economy and rampant corruption protestors have been calling for president bill fattah el-sisi to step down. ghanem is an egyptian journalist and author joins us live from here in doha. the 2nd friday approaches are we seeing momentum building here. definitely was seeing the momentum here and i think the whole the whole fish it was in the city and escalated unfortunately it's being done on the hands of that we deem itself. by this excessive violence used against the population. calling for a demonstration in tahrir square in cairo is that likely to happen given the way that they're secured you know i do believe that it's going to happen in the areas

where even the people i believe that the people who are calling upon the people to take on to the obvious question is using this call only. to distract the authority is this if you're a jew or it is i don't believe it's going to happen that this is an especially that it would seem has turned to her square and most of the main squares in cairo into barracks military barracks the egyptian authorities have apparently issued a security alert today thursday to quell the upcoming protests. she has been say that again the egyptian authorities have issued a security alert put out to quell the upcoming princess yes they did that indeed but let me put it that way i mean the egyptians the egyptians have entered the entered the they did 21st century would be left to touch upon or even come close to the values of. democracy human rights and freedoms of the 20th century so

i believe that the egyptians are fed up with was this this tyranny and i think it's it's time for them to move and they believe that it's time it's high time to move and i believe they're thinking to themselves. in that way i mean visit a river infested was crocodiles but if you if you want to cross the river don't think too much about crocodiles so they are not thinking about crocodiles anymore very briefly is this area where the unrest has been in luxor or tell us about that why is has been such a focus well luxor is part of upper egypt upper egypt is part of the thought that southern egypt and the people the population the egyptians in that part of the country have a very special nature different to the nature of the rest of the population the egyptian population they have grown over hundreds of years this culture of personal

vendetta. that that part of the country and its population have been neglected over the dk no development nothing they will lift it was public t. and they have been taking care of themselves for decades and that's why they are indifferent to what's happening in the rest of the country but now when be authorities when the police force they they adopt such violent violent means to deal with those that bet. that part of the population feel personally insulted and i'm afraid what's coming up is going to be worse i mean i'm afraid that this personal vendetta culture is going to turn into a mass vigilantism 'd. well in part of egypt we're going to have to leave it there appreciate your analysis of the situation you're going and thank you.

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 and jim brown has more from. 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 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. 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 mask 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. taking greece will jointly set up a hotline to avoid accidental clashes in the eastern mediterranean nato has been working with both countries to try to fuse months of tension over gas reserves and the new safety measures for light collision between turkish and great for gets in

a situation where social media is very much on tap and can be switched off and on at will so this is an environment that is impacted by geopolitics by scandals all kinds of factors and turkey is looking at regulating in that environment so why has turkey specifically brought in these these rules over say it's aimed at ending insults and swearing online but it goes deeper than that. well yes it's a nuanced situation it's not clear cut there is some truth in so far as a social media company that is making a lot of money in a country should have some representation in that country and there are problems with there being less representation for individuals and victims of harassment say you get a different level of service and treatment if you're based in the u.s. versus a country that doesn't make so much money for these companies but at its core there

are some quite potentially harmful factors to the law that has passed this is the 5651 internet law and now there are some very extreme rules that actually require social media companies to completely remove content that does not comply with local laws in a very swift timeframe so there are problems. 3 tricks pression but also going further economic questions about whether this is the right approach and certainly there seem to be this seems to be something that isn't so clear cut that whether it's about putting data in the country and whether it's about just removing that content instead of withholding it in the country there is a clear impact on human rights and freedom expression here i'm going to say visit there's some pretty direct draconian punishments for flouting the rules on their fines advertising restrictions banned with restrictions facebook themselves saying it raises many concerns about human rights in here rights watch has called on the social media giants not to comply. right so this is the question what

happens if the social media companies don't comply now if i look back through some of the data that we've collected over the last 2 years 20152016 we've seen 18 instances are only 18 instances where social media comes to being completely blocked in the country across turkey again this is because at various reasons whether this scandal security following terror attacks and this is the problem if the companies don't comply if they just outright say no then we know what's going to happen there's this rule about bandwidth roughly 50 percent and then 1000 percent and we've seen this kind of restriction before it's effectively a block that means that you can't get through to these services it's very destructive to business so there needs to be a middle ground between these 2 positions. if you ask me these companies do need to

have some risk representation the country but there needs also to be a mechanism to push back against the very extreme elements of these these new laws right the elusive middle ground i'll take appreciate your expertise in this. thank you. u.s. tech giant google says it plans to invest $1000000000.00 in deals with news publishers globally the company says it will pay news organizations to create a curated content on a new showcase app you had already gone live in brazil and in germany and plans are underway to roll it out in other countries a british judge says she will deliver the verdict on whether to extradite wiki leaks founder julian assange to the united states by january that's all she's wanted in the u.s. for leaking secrets related to the wars in iraq and afghanistan if ace is 175 years in prison if found guilty of the charges critics say is ours endangered the lives of intelligence sources in iraq iran and afghanistan there's been

this this is a framework agreement not a final one the timing of the agreement raised questions since a common desire to exploit offshore oil and gas deposits in the mediterranean has failed to resolve differences for years the iranian backed hezbollah which fought wars with israel in the past softened its stance it's the most powerful group in lebanon which has publicly entrusted its ally speaker betty with the file this definitely would not have happened without the support of his wife that's for sure now going to main reasons or why we've seen the negotiation one is lebanon is very much need to actually start exporting from block 9 which is the south and i think you took french pressure because it's going to be eating this they're probably forced to actually lose all this issue and number 2 what are the prospects of sanctions by the americans the united states which has been shuttling between the 2 countries for years claimed credit for what it called a historic agreement president donald trump can use this as
