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. meanwhile russia's ambassador to the u.n. is tonight that moscow is backing on in the hostilities. on the queue will call is supporting those at a bunch of hooey we know that. but that doesn't mean that we are on the other side supporting that to be near reserve years at a budget that's not the case we we support the just settlement to support the

ceasefire with support there the hostilities we want both countries to to stop this escalation. process are taking place across india over the gang rapes and subsequent deaths of 2 women from the marginalised dalla community police prevented opposition politicians from travelling to the site of one of the attacks emergency laws are imposed when clashes erupted after the cremation of one of the women. has more. as news spreads of the gang rape in the death of a 2nd woman from the don it's community these protesters try hard to enter the village where the 1st victim was from but it's now under lockdown an emergency law was brought in on thursday of the days of demonstrations. and i don't like the harbor we have section 144 of the indian penal code active in the district right now which means we are not allowing an assembly of more than 5 people. the. 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 when i fell down i'm not think anything about that i have no problem i am only asking this question in india only be an artist people can walk on the road they can't govern cannot walk in this country only more they can walk i cannot comment for the not walk the the latest victim was a 22 year old who died on tuesday on the way to a hospital in luck now in the northern states of into pradesh the same day as the 19 year old 1st victim died off to 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 states but they were also both from the daleks community marginalized being at the bottom of india's deeply entrenched cost 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 those actual 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 human proper medical care the issue of sexual violence against women has been on the spot lines 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 so to hire a jazeera. now britain's exit from the european union might have just become even more complicated formal talks to hammer out a trade deal by the december 31st deadline set to conclude on friday but now the e.u. is not shing legal action against the u.k. over plans to breach parts the brakes it divorce agreement a less or a formal notice has been sent to the british government which has a month to respond it could eventually lead to a case in the european court of justice the disagreement centers on a bill in the british parliament which would violate international law if passed it

could ignore trade rules involving northern ireland. one of the topics that leaders from the bloc of discussed during a summit that's taking place in brussels this morning the commission has decided to send a letter 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 the commission will continue to work hard towards a full and timely implementation of the withdrawal agreement we stand by our commitments our desires paul brennan has more from westminster. 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 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 based on the go seating 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. so i had on the program the legal case that could see presidents prosecuted mexico's leader wins the right to hold a national referendum. and on the brink of a breakthrough possibly lebanon israel agreed to talks. we've got some very warm weather in the forecast for south australia as we go through the next day or so it'll be short lived. but you cool clothes away for the time being high pressure dominating the weather across the southeast inside of us that blustery showers rattling in across tasmania some wet and windy weather for a time this here was a change we got a little

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 jorge somlyay over the past 3 months the plain truth is and is obvious to see that stability has been restored to society while national security has been safeguarded under 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 deny permission for a march citing covert 19 and the potential for violence you cannot have well

organized that lead 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 weeklong holiday is likely to be a test though of the country's success in controlling the virus adrian brown al-jazeera hong kong. mexico's supreme court has ruled the president. can hold a referendum if the state should be allowed to prosecute former presidents for testers rallied outside the court as judges voted $65.00 in a virtual session a national referendum could allow the investigation of potential prosecution of 5 former presidents for alleged crimes in office manual rapid i was in mexico city for the decision. this vote by mexico supreme court does carry quite a bit of significance perhaps more than anything it's

a symbolic victory for mexican president under this model locus of it all who campaigned under this anti corruption platform this certainly feeds into the rhetoric that we've heard from the president in the past regarding his his desire to go after corruption and root out corruption in the country but this initiative a referendum that would ask mexican citizens how they personally feel whether or not they agree that even the ex-president a former mexican president should not be in from prosecution should not be immune from from investigation that is something that just hasn't been done before that aspect of this is without precedent and it's something that the mexican president has been promoting heavily so in short this is something that makes the mexican president look very good this is certainly going to be a boost for his popularity having that said this vote today in the mexican in the mexican supremes court a $65.00 vote in favor of this referendum is specific only to the question of the constitutionality of the referendum itself there would still be questions and
