sunday morning military officials in nagorno-karabakh have denied attacking the city saying they're observing the cease fire meanwhile armenia is accusing as a reformer says of shelling the region's largest cities the panic hurts both sides accuse each other of violating the humanitarian ceasefire which came into force on saturday and that deal allows them to exchange prisoners and recover bodies hundreds of people have been killed since fighting flared up 2 weeks ago shortly we'll cross to bernard smith who's joining us from doris that's in armenia but 1st we'll bring in kosovo who she's joining us from get a fear that's in azerbaijan so casualties are reporting in the town of gan just in them what more are we hearing out of azerbaijan. well there in a survey john officials have been calling this incident as a crime today the top officials called it as a military crime a military crime and the international community should respond this that's what

they said and when i asked whether they have consulted with russia about this violation of the cease fire to the assistant of the president to have. his assistance. he told me that they have already contacted and they're waiting for to hear from the russian side as well the cease fire was mediated by russia as you know daryn and actually it was expected to kick off properly but it didn't yesterday after the cease fire was in force just a couple of minutes later maybe 15 minutes later we heard from what size that the cease fire was violated this site on the survey john sides along with again german dutch over was also targeted by several misfires and they told us in the area both the officials and the civilians told us that again joe was targeted by 9 rockets

last night but on the other side we're hearing that is that bernard kerik was also under fire over the night so the board size accuse each other for violating the cease fire however they don't stop attacking each other either but as a bridge and present in how many have just tweeted more than an hour ago saying that the missiles were fired from where then this area of our main yehi he said that those missiles were actually fired from nothing from inside the girl in a kind of bar but from inside armenia but as you know men inside also denies that sort of parent be amid all those accusations and for the trade of the between the 2 science none of us are able to be sure about what's going on who hit it. who fired the 1st bullets and what's really going on in the field international community is expected to respond but as you have also said the slot for prisoners hasn't been

realized yet so still that soldiers injured soldiers on both sides are waiting this is also another thing because many people are waiting for the soldiers who are in the battlefield forces when you speak to civilians see it and many of them tell that they have a son or a brother as a soldier fighting in the battlefield also this is the same for our main yes so the swap of prisoners is totally an unknown because on non-serious side we haven't heard anything from them yet about the line or whether it is really going to happen or not yet and was sort of will be speaking to the i.c.r.c. in just a few minutes on this particular issue the prisoner swaps. for the time being we'll let you go thank you very much for that let's now bring in bernard smith who's joining us from horace that's in armenia so are we hearing anything from armenia about the azerbaijani accusations that sin was just outlining.

the accusation about the shelling of ganja was taught to the nagorno-karabakh president in a press conference earlier today and he didn't specifically answer the question but . he did say that if in the next one or 2 do days we do not feel as ery readiness to resolve these issues peacefully i will 1st apply to his area to international authorities and armenian authorities to recognize the independence of the go on a car a block that is an extremely unlikely prospect it is recognized as a as a bounty azerbaijani territory also today the armenians have released an updated list of the soldiers killed now 429 soldiers killed and when they released the list they released their names and their dates of birth and you see that the dates of birth of nearly all of them are between 2001 to 2002 so very young man being

killed in these last 2 weeks john does not release details of the numbers of his soldiers killed but you can be assured that there are casualties on the side and they'll be of a similar age and when you see these lists of casualties you perhaps get a greater appreciation of the enormous pressure the leaderships of both countries are under not to be seen to making concessions that will cost them to the other son. all right bernard thank you very much for that update from armenia let's now bring in zahra mahtani who is the spokeswoman for the international committee of the red cross delegation in the armenian capital your van that's where she is joining us from thanks very much for speaking to us on al-jazeera so you are going to zation the i.c.r.c. is meant to facilitate the handover of bodies of those who have been killed in action as well as the release of detainees as part of this very shaky cease fire deal as we're hearing from our correspondents where things stand right now.

thank you there were actually regular discussions the size of the nature of our involvement however far now the date for the operation that is in the hands of the size and the our international committee on the right to cross stands ready to facilitate. and support the sides in obligation humanitarian outlook and to release the detainees why had all the other. returned human remains so that the fallen can. bury. or not however we have been hearing reports about shelling continued on both sides of the line of on top unfortunately we're just not allow last. fall in any higher humanitarian matter in operation so what. we're getting is about this

when you speak to authorities about this what are they telling you about a possible timeline as to when you can facilitate this part of the agreement. the nature of our interaction leave is our it is actually got an actual result bilaterally we're discussing about our concerns and also the possibility is. also with play to the process actually however what we can confirm now is that the decisions of political decisions are in the hands of the science not the i.c.r.c. what impact is this conflict having on citizens sense of millions that live along the line of contact on the international border between armenia and azerbaijan. what is important to note here is the i.c.r.c. steams are pretty restricted in their. interaction with a computer just where they want to security reasons but only

a regular right to know you can confirm that humanitarian aid and the needs of the people eat a lot of the life on top of both sides are you mad and where you're talking now about at least tens of thousands of people that will be needed the next few months after a dinner and a kind of assistance writing is wrong through the lives and going to serve the disinfectant and not surprised to be able to get away if the situation and went with a tall taking on them because of the surge in violence continuing to his days as well how worried are you about how you can yet that's exactly my question how concerning is it to you as an organization that this conflict continues as you say like it's not. for the next moment i didn't like the i.c.r.c. that is really much on the ground here since 9092 when i haven't seen the consequences of this conflict about 30 years on this people and now as the

hostilities are over into several weeks of. fighting several weeks. problems created for the people living along the line of contact and decide we can only confirm that it's going to be really hard because at least not only of all the people who look at but also there are these are structures such as homes and the schools and the days that these people spend you know he didn't basements those were staged in the places close to the little studio and others who moved to the safety also are stressed and we're also talking about the situation already shattered by the global pandemic and the economic cardinals that these people have been expedient experiencing this month because of the looks on all right says r a m attorney we thank you very much for speaking to us from europe and we appreciate your time thank you very much plenty more head on the

opposite of news hour including polls about clothes for turkish cypriots in the divided islands north we have more on the fragile peace deal about south stay 20 years after being forcibly evicted white zimbabwe and farmers are returning to work for black landowners. so just over a week after the us president tested positive for a cover 19 donald trump has now told fox news that he no longer has the coronavirus in that same interview he said he believes he's now immune to it let's bring in chris on the way joining us from new york so what more did the president tough to say. well we heard him talking a lot about his familiar campaign themes law and order criticizing sleepy joe biden and so on but the takeaway from the interview is he says that he is free of this

coronavirus and ready to safely get back on the campaign trail which he has clearly been very eager to do that people are parsing his statement a bit however because his doctor statement that was released yesterday said that he was able to safely return to the campaign trail a return to public engagements in general but didn't actually say that he had tested negative for the coronavirus and if you're wondering why people are parsing the word so much there's a lot of distrust and a lot of competing narratives going on here about this disease and what's happening a recent poll a new poll released by a.b.c. news here in the united states says that 2 thirds of americans think that the president failed to take appropriate measures regarding the coronavirus 62 percent distrust what he says. on this subject and others so the president for his part looking to change the subject from the coronavirus get back

to his campaign themes of the economy law and order and that's what we heard him hyping this morning so what does this then mean for his campaign because there were reports just about 24 hours ago or so that he was planning. i believe 3 campaign rallies this week. yeah his schedule is filling up rapidly his children and sarah get's have been picking up the slack while he was in the hospital and unable to tour we know today his son donald jr is on a bus tour of the fighters against socialism bus tour in florida with fighters from the u.f.c. that are has spanish again hitting on these theme socialism the claim that the democrats are trying to bring socialism to the united states an attempt to win over latino voters president trump himself will be in florida on monday that will be 12

days after receiving his coronavirus diagnosis. to campaign there and the backdrop to this is that joe biden is pulling away from the president a bit in the polls the latest one this a.b.c. poll has him at 53 percent over trump's 41 percent of course you know the election is still 3 weeks away but that has to be concerning for the president again who has just shown a real eagerness to get back out on the on the campaign trail and talk about the economy which the same poll says is the number one concern for voters and where he has more trust from voters all right thank you chris a saloon for that reporting from new york well lead democratic presidential candidate joe biden has accused the trumpet ministration of neglect over its handling of the coronavirus pandemic biden's been campaigning in pennsylvania laying out his plans for the economy he says he will create millions of jobs and

fund an economic recovery through new taxes on the rich the coburg 1000 acres left hundreds of thousands of americans unemployed and more than 214000 of die. russia has reported a new daily record in corona virus infections more than $13000.00 nationwide in the past 24 hours pushes the total close to a quarter 1000000 and that's the 4th highest in the world 22000 russians have died of covert 19 related illnesses well russia did lift most restrictions back in june after imposing one of the most severe lock downs but president vladimir putin has remained in an isolated controlled bubble so he's worked his residence outside moscow there he conducts most of his meetings with senior officials through video link and when putin does attend big events like the victory day parade in june those around him were reportedly required to quarantine for 2 weeks in august putin

announced russia had approved the world's 1st coronavirus vaccine but moscow skipped the critical trial stage 3 human testing phase and that prompted the world health organization to caution that safety should not be compromised in the search for a vaccine let's discuss russia and putin in the coronavirus with nikolai petrovitch is a senior research fellow at the russia and eurasia program at the u.k. based think tank chatham house joining us from london thanks very much for your time so what do you make of this really sharp contrast between some of the pretty extreme measures that are being taken to shield putin from the coronavirus yet a lot of towns and cities in russia are no longer under lockdown restrictions. well there every economic problem just of all the considerations the government is there they should not declare then you log the alms your. 3 outs of

the company declined that's why they were playing for our citizens especially for moscow whites and in russia moscow is the major sansa of the disease to be careful to stay at home. violate in your rules but that the same time that not the good will stop it come on the captives yeah how worried would putin be about the effects of lockdown measures because according to russia's levada center that's a polling organization his approval ratings did drop to an all time low a 59 percent when the coronavirus was at its peak but then his approval ratings they've climbed somewhat so now he'd probably be keen not to let that happen again . well what we've seen the recently is well moderate increase him since approval rating and it can be explained by the fact that majority of russians thoughts they have of the crisis is over and they have

been damaged is over and that's why the kremlin is not that much to continue optional meek man shows against the. more restrictive in autumn not to oppose the us increasing concerns but to aerate yeah that's very important they have so far russians feel feel like they are in a war that's why they should somehow consolidates their own elite around the government of the government and unfortunately while we call them it doesn't look that who looks and when the understanding well how serious are we come to gloss this after they scare off what in the recent events their response gambit much more than i could give them they were not what about the issue of the vaccine development taking place in russia because it's really going at

somewhat of a tremendous speed it's supposed to be registering its 2nd vaccine later this month some people are questioning a safety and effectiveness of this whole process. well in order to. make them not that law in the boat that's imports entailed soul that time they have heeded the order and the brand gets made if they're in a proper and give security service a few shots even his daughter they or these facts them although he himself didn't get it and that's why they say him. well pretty big ship rations something like say 40 percent so specious somewhat of a good. question all right nicolai petro thank you very much for your analysis from london my pleasure now the head of nigeria's police says that an elite anti robbery unit will be dissolved immediately this

comes after several days of protests across the country demanding the complete abolition of these special anti robbery squad demonstrators have accused the group of murder extortion and disappearances by degrees so it will join us from abuse with an update on this story ahead so what's been the reaction to this news. the reaction is sort of beaten some nigerians but also the civil society organizations are cautioning they wanted more they want to see the police not stopping at just disbanding the special interoperate scored but also bringing to justice officers who have been accused and found guilty of the atrocities mention kidnap story killings extortion murder disappearances these are the things that civil society and in fact most nigerians want to see being tackled will be

addressed immediately they want to see those who are responsible punished and of course the police need to come out again with specific guidelines on how to avoid the story of sars repeating it solved their member this is a unit that nigerians of competing for a very long time for it to be dissolved the government had on previous occasions 3 occasions in fact promised to reform this was demonstrators insisted that the unit cannot be formed it needs to be dissolved now the inspector general of police has i've said that call and dissolved the unit and said in a few days time they would set up another body to deal with kidnappings and other violent crimes across nigeria now the civil society organizations and activists across nigeria are wanting to push their luck father to demand for more accountability not only from the police but also from the military from civil society from leaders politicians of course they insisted that corruption is still

taking place in both the executive judiciary and the legislative sectors of the nigerian state they also want to see reforms in other sectors of the economy education health care delivery and all sorts of areas that they want to see progress being made on all right thank you for that update from a boozer. production is restarting at libya's largest oil fields has been closed for most of this year because of a blockade imposed by the warlords. libya used to produce more than a 1000000 barrels of crude a day generating an important stream of income from triple the amount of training tells us more about what led to this reopening. well i think this is international pressure on the police to have their and his forces to demilitarize the oil ports and oil fields and ahead of the u.n. facilitated political talks now currently there are a representatives of the high state council from tripoli and the eastern based

parliament in cairo in talks but i think that that's it's there's a real gathering of the international community on reopening the oil and for the warring sides to come to sort of a political agreement and bring about peace and stability to libya it's important too to mention that these oil closures have caused a lot of lost revenue over the years since 2013 to 2020 according to the libyan central bank that's they've lost over $180000000000.00 and that's that's a revenue source to the government and that's how they pay the salaries for people that's how they pay for government services like electricity and water here in tripoli. there's been a long power cuts up to 18 hours 20 hours a day out of covert locked the a covert lockdown and curfew people are very frustrated they can't go out they

can't go outside of their houses they're stuck inside their homes or the temperatures are really high so it's really hot there's a lack of liquidity in vents so there's long lines at banks residents have to wait in long lines and only able to pull out a certain amount of money and that's all due to these oil closures wealth going to say is a security and policy analyst on austria's former defense attache to libya he says getting the oil flowing again will be good for the economy but won't have a real impact on the ongoing conflicts. there opening of a shout out has no direct impact on the political process which is unfortunately stuck again. some some positive signs off of the negotiations in morocco which came to an agreement evolved with propositions between the h.r. n.t.s.c. but unfortunately there is no approval of the outcome of these negotiations made up of each you are nor by the supreme state concert agreement for an opening of the

oil exports boss for the kind being put just one month which means until october 17th and the spending if the recently grima if all that these 3 fusion of the oil revenues for the time being all their payments end up in a bank account of the leap in foreign pank and are not wired through the central bank of libya and the agreement could be terminated off the october 17th if there is no such agreement my guess is that the flow of oil to be continued for 2 reasons one is you have seen if i shut out a half that is probably not going to position not in a position to or the stop all over libya it could well be that in the east the people will stick to his office but it's quite unlikely that the guys and i shout out to and india the best the noise piece will fall of these so i guess their profession and the exports continue also off the october 17th if least as long as

the funds remain in the libyan foreign bank and i'm not transferred to the central bank of libya. still ahead on the news hour brazil's president downplays the coronavirus once again as the death toll there passes 850000 spyware concerns how your boss might still be monitoring you while working from home. lewis hamilton in causing record set by michael schumacher with another when joe will have the details in sports. hello scene from space is no big surprise to find a little cloud of the middle east this time the year but given that 3 weeks ago it was hot and dry hartland normal fires have broken out in places like lebanon and jordan and syria now the weather's not going to aid them or indeed hinder them it'll be up to human action nothing much is changing media future but that

has been just the best thing that has happened to us obviously we know we work together well. we also with the partnership the good thing about the partnership is this skills transfer. 2 decades after the government sees thousands of white owned commercial farms land and who it rightfully belongs to is still an emotive and divisive topic in zimbabwe and other parts of southern africa. followings the bobbies land reform controversy when pharmacies from whites the barbarians of all races are now cautious about land agreements that's why those in these joint partnerships insist on legal documentation stating exactly how profits will be dividers. some of the barman say the late president robert mugabe's land reform program was a partisan process that favored a few elites and left the country struggling to feed itself some of the land grabs were chaotic and violent displacing the white farmers and their farm workers the
