overwhelming victory for new zealand's prime minister just into our journey and national election. about m.p. just ended with the schools it's a big day in the english premier league as top of the table ever to play champions liverpool. hello thanks for joining us fighting has escalated in the conflict over the disputed region a flag or no care about a week after a cease fire between azerbaijan and armenia took effect so azerbaijan says a least 13 people have been killed by an armenian missile attack on ganjo the city has been repeatedly since fighting flared up 3 weeks ago so in response armenia is defense ministry denied firing into as a bridge but at the same time has released the list of what they call a gentleman military targets and ganja armenia also says that part of curt's was

hit that's the largest city and i'm going to care about it said missiles were fired by our azerbaijan's armed forces overnight and a violation of the humanitarian cease fire we have bernard smith in the armenian capital year of on but 1st let's bring in who is joining us from azerbaijan's capital back oh so hard that claims and counterclaims what more are we learning from as a re officials about this incident. well just a few moments ago actually you spoke to a. member of parliament who is based in guns and he told us that in fact there were 2 missiles hit ganja one sort of the south west entrance of the city and the other one to more lethal one towards the city center that's where most of the casualties were happened now he said that that was a residential area that there is no military target whatsoever there and that it

happened in the middle of the night because according to him well the army is wanted to inflict a bigger number of casualties on the civilians so obviously very strong convert do nation also very strong condemnation coming from the president just in the last hour he posted a video on social media he called it he called the attack crime against humanity he called on the international community to take action against armenia otherwise he said well then azerbaijan will have to take the matter in its hands and will retaliate was force now all this comes on the backdrop that as a by john is actually making a territorial gains on the ground president ever announcing also earlier today that there were that they had their forces had taken over most of a one of the 7 regions that surround. karabakh that inflicting sort

that being a strategic loss really for the armenian side so there is a feeling here in azerbaijan that really this attack happened because the armenian forces are losing ground ok thank you for that update from baku let's bring in bernard smith berners joining us from armenia as capital you're a vine and there's been an update bernard from the defense ministry in armenia. yes they started off the day saying they hadn't deliberately or they have not targeted from armenian territory targets and. was followed by a statement later on in the day saying that there were legitimate targets including for example a school or drug just sticks to a technical battalion these sorts of military locations but no specific comment about whether they hit that building that residential building and also the foreign ministry saying today that consistent attempts he says in

a tweet by azerbaijan to extend the geography of the conflict irreversibly undermining regional security should be condemned in the strongest terms and this is because armenia is losing territory to azerbaijan this is territory that is essentially armenia considers a security buffer zone between azerbaijan and the golan or karabakh its territory armenia has occupied since the ceasefire in 1994 and this is the territory along with care about the both sides armenia and azerbaijan the supposed to be negotiating about under the auspices under the direction of the us france and russia but over those last 26 years nothing has been done to resolve the status of these territories and so now it's with turkey's backing is taking some of it militarily and i burn a thank you for that update from year of on let's stay with armenia and bring in richer and get on he's the director of the regional studies center that's an independent think tank in europe and he's joining us now from there thanks very

much for speaking to us on al-jazeera so let's just look at the update from the defense ministry where they tweeted that they've released a list of what they call legitimate military targets in ganja after initially denying this attack what are we to read into this list in the tweets. well of i cannot speak on behalf of the iranian government or ministry or defense rights what i do think it's important to note and couldn't get into the horrible loss of civilian life that all fight this is a widening conflict and since the azerbaijani all this of the started but momentum in the nation to with the other sort of sunnyside is resulting in territorial gains that the band says but what we need to reiterate this is a time for an urgent a media cease fire as it were drawn in turkey needs to agree to return to the diplomatic table rather than the battlefield i think unfortunately we should be

civilians losing their life unacceptably ok let's look at the reaction from azerbaijan than the the president is vowing to strike back against armenia are you expecting further retaliation will the south come right it already has to be quite honest we already have seen a number of attacks on armenia proper beyond normal karloff himself the danger of this escalation is turkey is already militarily present supporting also been drawn russia into the law and maybe then compelled to intervene in the escalation and the intensity of this fighting is what war results most so where do the talks live and are we at a point of no return or can pressure be put on both sides. well as an analyst i think what matters more the next journal pressure is events on the local 'd ground in other words if the games by the us were johnny army horses are

sufficient or baku to understand the necessity to stop the consolidating what they have and to return to diplomacy or generally armenia and mumbled out are all have all heard it immediate cease fire with no preconditions i'm only hoping that turkey in azerbaijan stop refusing to dot all or and stop the flying russian and french attempts to broker a cease fire give us a point of view from civilians in armenia out where you are how are they coping with all of what's going on well to be honest armenians in armenia proper are especially upset and i'm great at their vulnerability being drawn into the fighting in the emotional core of all which is separate from armenia at the same time but the armenian people this is

a conflict between the bone of our ball and out of the woods on turkey has no place and no justification for it and all that and i do think that we also need to remind everyone that the deplorable loss of life on all sides in terms of expecting the need to mourn the loss of life on the other the johnny's side is something all hope felt deeply on the army to fight all right so and leave it there thank you very much for our joining us from your of on richard gere of the sea on thank you. thousands of type protesters are gathering in bangkok for the 4th day despite the shutdown of major roads on public transport so police closed intersections on metro stations in the capital but failed to stop large crowds from showing up this comes after police used water cannon to disperse anti-government demonstrators who've been rallying since wednesday rights groups say at least 51

nato military systems the u.s. says if confirmed the tests risks jeopardizing the security relationship with turkey let's bring in for a response here he's a senior defense fellow at the international institute of strategic studies and was a former director of policy planning at nato he's joining us from sounds and there in spain thanks very much for your time and al-jazeera so the turkish military and defense officials are not commenting on these reports but should they be verified and true is turkey now potentially facing sanctions from the u.s. . most likely a fetus is one more step in the wrong direction and closer to break it point and i think it's quite telling that you had both republican and democrat member of the of the senate who issued statement calling for the u.s. government to issue sanctions against turkey so i think whatever the results of the election on november the 3rd in the u.s.

i think turkey's getting much closer to having u.s. sanctions imposed ok so we know that the u.s. has always been opposed to this missile defense system but this also seems to be a sore point for nato itself explain that of course when simply it's both particular tical and a political problem technological because nato cannot integrate russian made weapon system in its own nato missile defense system so from a technical point of view it raises a really shoe and turkey has been the one asking for the nato me said defense system to has as much coverage as possible and to be obviously. based in in turkey turkey actually host the nato radar system that his father and he said they affect so that's one thing the political issue is obviously it sends a very wrong signal when all the other nato allies especially seen 2014 when russia

invaded ukraine have made a point of basically cutting ties technological ties with russia and defense systems so it's definitely a step in the wrong direction compared to where all the other allies are going to what extent though is turkey willing to stand its ground on this issue in particular and in the face of the u.s. and nato allies. this is not to say i think what we're seeing is president ed go on doubling don on these various set t.v. region out see it's not so much about to close alliance with we through russia because actually and has a complicated relation and sometimes a conflict relation with president putin but it's about showing that turkey can be its own man and doesn't need either the west all the east all the russians in an f. ing that that kind of put to numbers try to g. is obviously creating a lot of friction because turkey traditionally spog of the alliance and turkey is

an indispensable member of the alliance because of egypt poses ship and turkey actually also needs the alliance because of again it's graphic position way it is very exposed to conflict and pressure from other regional powers all right we thank you very much if i presuppose here for a 2nd there are some spang. now regional leaders in latin america are calling on bolivia's government to ensure a free and fair presidential election on sunday last year a disputed poll lead to the resignation of former president ever murali and plunged the country into turmoil terrorism reports. son was buried in a mass grave in the cemetery he was a victim of colvin 19 lament the moment that unfortunately he was buried in this grave i'm very outraged there are individual graves and my son was not given the opportunity what can i do this is the way luck is off. the levy

there might be a 2nd round. in the printed up with the sit. in the 1st round power is at stake because the 1st round will define congress in the 2nd round will define who will be the next president there's a deep crisis because we're facing problems of all sorts economic social political we need to have minimum standards to decrease the level of conflict. what's at stake in the election is bolivia is democratic system electorate 40 say they're taking all the necessary measures to prevent the spread of the virus like preventing physical contact between voters and officials in the polling stations. they want the insight each station the electoral notaries i in charge of guaranteeing that voters long be in contact with others that their weary face must improve around and a type of condemnation at a polling site. is in desperate need of political stability

and peace elections are crucial to guarantee the next president has the legitimacy needed to help the country recover. and to see. the us president donald trump has been campaigning in states he won in 2016 as opinion polls show a tightening race in ohio iowa and georgia he addressed supporters in marco island georgia where he explained his campaign's low fund raising numbers he says he could be the world's greatest fundraiser if you want to. and the democratic nominee joe biden has been campaigning in detroit before that during another stop in michigan he again attacked trump's handling of the pandemic and spoke about health care. let's get an update on the weather with everton. how after a disappointing start to the weekend we'll see the weather cheering up in japan with got a lot of dry skies now coming through cloud and rain in the process of pulling away

checkpoints tension is rising ahead of sunday's polls so this is only. by. sitting with. this kind of press in the media. and so for me that is the one thing in the kind of real to. the way i think that to to increase in them suddenly. the octogenarian president amended the constitution allowing him to run a 3rd mandate suppressing demonstrations in a referendum boycotted by civil society and the opposition during a campaign marred by violence called a stoked ethnic divisions in this multi ethnic country make up the majority but never has a full on been elected to power gello is hoping to be the 1st with the slogan to unite and serve in the bid to bring together a country bitterly divided ahead of the polls nicholas hawke al-jazeera so while
