8:02 pm
no karabakh earlier today and while we were there we heard shelling in the distance there are accusations that both sides actually have breached the cease fire and they go no kyra backs defense ministries accusing azerbaijan of using the cease fire to ready itself for further military action they said the only way to achieve real peace would be for the international community to recognize nagorno-karabakh as an independent republic that is an extremely unlikely prospect well now it seems that they're going to try and start talks again during this very shaky cease fire the challenges though that after 26 years of the end of the cease fire of the cease fire 994 as far as these areas will tell you the talks have got them nowhere to the status of nagorno karabakh has not been resolved and a good chunk of his very territory that is still occupied by armenia territory that armenia took in that war that ended with
8:03 pm
a cease fire in 94 that is still an armenian hands and azerbaijan wants that back there are 2 separate things to be discussed nagorno-karabakh and the territory that armenia currently occupies said in kosovo who is in tart's are in neighboring as are based on she says as a republic sessions have indicated the ceasefire is only temporary. they said that mania was armenia violated the very fresh ceasefire which showed the whole crissy of our mania for these folks this is what they said but of course everybody in azerbaijan was expecting that the ceasefire wouldn't last long as special it wasn't planned for a long ceasefire because when even russian foreign minister lavrov announced about the cease fire he emphasized the reason as the military and. when syrian aid exchanging prisoners and exchanging the that soldiers and injured soldiers so here
8:04 pm
. the substance of mass of the country also on the line that and they want to show that if our mania is to violate the cease fire again they are ready to devolve to retaliate but they are preparing the diplomatic talks and they want our mania to be committed to what they are what is promised during the talks which is actually 2 step by step in a calendar withdrawing from the occupied territories as azerbaijan calls and the initial plan is for our main yes to with throw from the occupied regions adjacent to nagorno-karabakh and if that happens as agreed in a moderate an agreement a decade ago then talks about nagorno-karabakh can start but of course we don't know exactly what was spoken yesterday in moscow this is the problem. north korea has displayed new intercontinental ballistic missiles they were unveiled during
8:05 pm
a parade marking the 75th anniversary of the ruling workers' party the u.s. labeled the display disappointing and called on chang yang to resume talks over a complete denuclearization rob mcbride reports from seoul. an impressive show of force through the streets of pyongyang this parade down usually held at night time adding to the sense of drama no social distancing and no masks in sight so liberating the country's continued claims to be free of coronavirus visibly moved leader kim jong un praised his country's efforts in keeping the virus out. i'm really grateful that not a single person is infected we manage to protect the people from this contagion. north korea has also been hit by devastating typhoon and summer rains damage that kim is reported to have taken personal charge in dealing with and it's exacerbated
8:06 pm
the ongoing affects of sanctions and effectively being cut off from the outside world kim needed this show of strength in the context to he want to use. here's audience he want to show up i'm skeered a strong leader it is necessary for the kingdom leadership tour or sure educate it and show us north korean population that things will eventually be ok this parade showcased what are thought to be new missiles and transporters with the star of the show what's claimed to be a newly developed into continental ballistic missile it's a reminder that in spite of denuclearization talks with the u.s. north korea has continued to expand its arsenal in recent years future relations between the united states and north korea might be on hold until after the u.s. election but south korea remains optimistic it can still achieve closer into korean
8:07 pm
ties that's despite a number of setbacks in recent months. souring relations culminated in the destruction of a liaison office by north korea in june and the cutting of communication hotlines between the north and south but kim says he still holds hopes of reconciliation so no you can't but i wish the best for the people in the south in a fast recovery from the pandemic so that we can hold hands together soon came also apologized for failing to meet his people's expectations and a sign of humility not often exhibited by a north korean leader. the country may be suffering from problems on many fronts but none of that was on show on this night of mcbride al jazeera. so. in the next hour the u.s. president donald trump is due to hold his 1st public event since being hospitalized
8:08 pm
for coronavirus last week the president will deliver a speech to hundreds of his supporters about law and order but there are still questions over trump's health so we've decided not to attend any white house events on site for safety reasons joining us now from washington d.c. is our white house correspondent kelly how getting kimberly is a block away from where the president is to address his supporters in just about an hour's time or so kimberly so is it even safe to be holding such an event well there's no question that there has been a break out at the white house and we're still not even clear about the president's safety and whether or not he is contagious now when he makes this address it will be from a balcony on the south lawn overlooking the south lawn of the white house so he won't be in close proximity but the question becomes what about the other white house workers that anyone might come in contact with and this is a concern not only for those who might be attending this event but also for the
8:09 pm
media that's why al-jazeera has made that decision to be a block away so that we can make sure that we are protected our staff is protected but again because the white house has not been transparent about when the president contracted this it hasn't been 14 days since he officially made it known that he had contracted cope with 19 it's really hard to know whether the president is still contagious now the president says he's going to be campaigning all this week when he doesn't have anything on his official schedule for sunday we already know we already know he's announced rallies for monday tuesday and wednesday and that is something whether it be this week whether it be today one of the top infectious disease specialist dr anthony fauci is cautioning against. it disturbs me when i see that no matter who is doing it when you have congregate settings that have no masks in a situation particularly if it's indoors that is asking for trouble and that is
8:10 pm
something that is contrary to the things that i and my public health colleagues have been saying for some time now you've got to void those situations and it doesn't matter who you are aware you everyone should be avoiding those types of situation. now in terms of this event where the president will be addressing it's important to know this is 1st in person addressed since contracting cope at 19 and of course being in the hospital at times with a fever of 103 degrees farenheit well this doctor says he has not had any symptoms for some time again there is the concern of a relapse now with regard to this event the white house says this is not a campaign event this is an official event it is hard to see how his campaign will not be benefiting from this given the fact that we are really just a little more than 3 weeks from november 3rd the presidential election and just in terms of this event very quickly we know that hundreds will be attending it's
8:11 pm
called a black said this means black exit from the democratic party that traditionally has had voters of color supporting it it will be fronted by candace owens she is a prominent african-american conservative who says that the democratic party has failed people of color in this country for some time and she's urging them to leave and vote for president she says has done more in the last few years than the democratic party has done in decades so somewhat controversial we know that even some of the attendees were covered in terms of their travel expenses to attend and again some controversy about not only the president whether he's holding a campaign event on the white house lawn but whether it's even safe to do so got it can really we'll cross back through as and when that event takes place for the time being we'll let you go thank you very much though for that update from washington. well kurdistan's parliament has named a new prime minister is strengthening the president's grip on power there's been
8:12 pm
political upheaval since last week's disputed parliamentary elections earlier the former president almost back out time by f. was detained by security forces he's a rival of the current president by jim because of stratford has the latest from bishkek where the curfew is now in effect. incredible change in atmosphere incredible events of the last 24 hours to imagine that this square was so chaotic last this time yesterday yesterday afternoon we had clashes between rival protest groups there was the shooting off the the car of the former president and seemingly no rule of law whatsoever to get spend the safe to say that we are beginning to see the rule of law returning this parliamentary session the seating the parliamentary speaker in the last hour has announced that there will be no discussion of the state of emergency in this session however the state of emergency is active for the next 3 days starting from 9 o'clock this evening and if parliament has not approved
8:13 pm
that state of emergency decree to extend it within 3 days then the decree becomes null and void so as i say it just does seem as if certainly lord older does seem to be returning the other very interesting thing that has come from this parliamentary session is the endorsement officially of the new prime minister this man soldered to power all of that a lot of people have been speaking very disparagingly of he was freed by protesters his supporters. in the post-election chaos and on monday night he was serving an 11 year jail term for kidnapping. he all week has been. basically quite quite outspoken he's considered to have a very sort of nationalist tendencies a lot of support amongst the the rural communities rule kyrgyzstan his supporters very happy with this disappointment officially of him as the new pm they are
8:14 pm
celebrating not far from here but of course you know his legal status is still can be called into question considering that as i say last this time last week he was serving an 11 year jail term. still ahead on al-jazeera. calling for a dialogue with china but on equal terms taiwan's president vows to strengthen defenses in her national day address losing ground fires and deforestation are rapidly shrinking brazil's amazon rain forest. how the southwest monsoon has reached andhra pradesh which means it's going sas
