azerbaijan 2nd largest city of 300000 people or so. we've been living in fear for days we couldn't sleep at night we hid but that was no use our suffering a lot i wish we were dead but our children would have to live without us we believe in our state and president may god give us back our back. people hate all fall from the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh azerbaijan and armenia are fighting over but they were not spent armenians defense ministry denies firing tools as operation adding the type of missile it's accused of using doesn't have the range to reach gunja however it later released a list of what it called legitimate targets and ganja as a right john says it has proof that the missiles came from armenia to say how. immoral our. political. army and on the forces.

in other words just because it is a nickel on the job is not as a. deliberate discriminate manner as original syrians and that you have isn't what was burst scott me. saying. both sides of blaming each other for violating a russian brokered truce agreed a week ago which includes a school for detainees and bodies of those killed. since friday night's attack in gunja anina says azerbaijan's armed forces violated the humanitarian ceasefire by hitting step pan card to nagorno-karabakh on saturday as i by john's president confirmed his forces have now taken control of most villages in foods in the south east of nagorno-karabakh armenia considers fusilli a buffer zone between nagorno-karabakh and as i abrasion insist territory that both sides of the conflict have been negotiating over for the last 26 years. and as

those negotiations failed as a bridge on with turkish support pushed to take some of these territories back to you know most pressure on the armenians have lost more than 600 fighters recently. the violence is the worst in the region since azerbaijan ethnic armenian forces went to war in the early 1990 s. the control of nagorno-karabakh allies with an eye by john has been under the control of the ethnic amini and forces. fact by all mean year since the war ended in 1992. on friday armenians prime minister met soldiers being sent to the front line. i love you all i'm proud of you all i believe that you will defend the future of your children with dignity long live the republic of armenia long live the armenian diaspora. message but there is no signs of a rest now and civilians on both sides are facing uncertain day.

on a friday and. we have bernard smith in the armenian capital year of 1st will bring in what i've been have made she's joining us from azerbaijan's capital baku to let us know what more as a refresher are saying about this attack. alessio fishes are saying that actually at least 2 missiles have hit overnight one is sort of south west entrance of the city and the other one a bit more towards the city center and that's where actually the largest number of casualties. happened now they're also saying that the moment rescue operations are still ongoing because they're looking at least 4 do buddy or one child is still missing at this stage certainly very harsh words throughout the day from president in a statement that appeared on social media he called this attack in a crime against humanity called on the international community to take action and

he also did say that the revenge from the as vile as they are by judge will happen on the battlefield so you do get a feeling that really this cease fire that was broken just a week ago is wobbly at best if not maybe gone if you ask anyone here well president has a lot of support they do say that this problem has to end and i was actually talking to a young man early. and he said that no matter the cost of what could happen in the next days if the even if the conflict why didn't it has to be solved at this stage because it's been ongoing for decades and that he wouldn't like his children to have to live through this again ok how do i thank you for that update from back who bernard is joining us now from armenia's capital your van where armenians had initially denied firing into azerbaijan bernard has there been an update from the armenian side. they did on saturday

morning the defense ministry put out a statement saying you have been fired missiles from medium territory into azerbaijan and then a couple of hours later a statement on twitter saying that there were legitimate targets in the city of ganja military targets and they listed things like a. special forces brigade logistics center but they didn't make any specific comment on the residential area that was hit and then another statement from the foreign ministry saying that consistency of john to extend the geography of the conflict irreversibly undermining regional security and should be condemned this is because as a by john a succeeded in taking territory from armenia that it has had control of since the end of the war in 1994 excuse me this is territory that armenia considers an important buffer zone between. karabakh and it's the territory that they're supposed to have been negotiating about over more than the last 26 years that's in the status of nagorno karabakh azerbaijan says those negotiations got us nowhere so

with the help of turkey they are militarily trying to regain some of the lost territory all right bernard thank you for that update from your of on richard to get on is the director of the regional studies center that's an independent think tank in europe an armenian he says that as are beige on must stop refusing cease fire offers. since the azerbaijani off into the starting a momentum initiative with the azerbaijani side is resulting in territorial gains that the band says what we need to reiterate this is a time for an urgent immediate ceasefire were drawn in turkey needs to agree to return to the diplomatic table rather than the battlefield and unfortunately we've seen disability influencing their life unacceptably gains by the azerbaijani are of courses are sufficient or baku to understand the necessity to stop the

consolidate what they have and to return to diplomacy fortunately our media and our all have offered and immediate cease fire with no preconditions i'm only hoping that turkey in azerbaijan stop refusing bad offer and stop defying russian and french attempts to broker a cease fire for the armenian people this is a conflict between them on a car about another mcdonald's turkey has no place and no justification for its involvement and i do think that we also need to remind everyone that the deplorable loss of life on all sides in terms of extending the need to mourn the loss of life on the other johnny's side is something all hope felt deeply on the armenian side. protesters are gathering in lebanon on to mark one year's. government protests they have been rejecting corruption and the ruling

class lebanon has been experiencing its worst economic crisis since the civil war which is only deepened during the coronavirus pandemic let's bring in zain hoda she is joining us from beirut and there was so much hope just one year ago at the beginning about uprising after to mulch what is the mood like today. well if you talk to some people they'll tell you we are still hopeful we will continue this fight that's not we're up against a system a ruling elite which is clearly you know who is clinging on to power they're under no illusions that this is going to be an easy way forward these people as you can see behind me they've been gathering and converging in central beirut they 1st converged on martyrs square which was the epicenter of the protest movement now they're walking along the ring road which really was a frontline since the protest movement began because it was here where these

anti-establishment protesters were beaten by supporters of the traditional political parties and these people told us they chose to come back here to this bridge to give a message of peace they want to try to unite this country because this is a deeply polarized society this protest movement began it was spontaneous it was leaderless it is still leader this what these people want is an overhaul a change in the sectarian based political system in the country and they want the ruling elite which has been governing this country for 3 decades to leave power that has not been achieved as you can see this blaze of power security forces power plant down hard on gatherings they have made arrests and the situation. year ago the economy was bad today and the economy is near total collapse

so if you ask these people they'll tell you that it's been a difficult fight we know that but we have made little successes and we will continue this journey and in all this of course while the coronavirus pandemic takes a toll in lebanon with cope with $1000.00 cases on the rise. well yes that's one of the reasons why a lot of people have chosen not to taken to not to take to the streets the health care system was already collapsing before the coronavirus pandemic arrived in the country cases over 1000 cases on a daily basis now and this is a country of 5000000 people the death the number of deaths are also on the rise the government preparing new new beds and hospitals new i.c.u. beds because there just isn't enough to care for the patients this country is facing multiple crises the economy crisis a financial crisis a currency crisis

a political crisis and a geo political crisis because the different political parties here are allied with foreign powers and they're playing out their part power struggle in this country so these people are demanding change they believe we weren't able to keep up with them they're now heading towards the central bank because they want to protest outside the central bank against the the fiscal policies of the country because many of these people their savings are trapped in banks because of the liquidity crisis so multiple crises that this country is facing and there's no government there is a character taker government that is unable to make decisions so time is running out more than 50 percent of the population now live below the poverty line so the situation is quite dire but these people insist to mark this day which they believe could bring about some sort of change even if it will take some time and i thank

you for that update from beirut. plenty more ahead on the al-jazeera news hour including. people in china they are also back on the streets a year after a huge protest against social inequality ivory coast's president begins his campaign for a controversial 3rd term as his rival seek an election boycott the houston astros refuse to go away in their series against tampa bay peter will be here with all the action from game 6. thousands of type protestors have returned to the streets for a 4th day after the police shut down major roads and public transportation in the capital. main intersections and metro stations were closed on saturday but that didn't stop large crowds from holding impromptu rallies on the outskirts of bangkok the protesters want new

elections they also want reforms through the monarchy let's bring in tony chang he's joining us from bangkok what is the scene like where you are tony. and if you can see behind me with the last few protesters where we are in the north of bangkok or just drifting away and given i think the scenes that we saw last night when the water cannon were deployed what we saw riot police shields in full body armor pushing back the crowds today was really very different we had known that there was going to be a protest the protest leaders didn't reveal where the protest was going to be located throughout the day the police think to be shut down the whole of bangkok the central bank by closing off the overlook overhead story train the underground a couple of major road into sections and then the 3 pm local time the protesters announced they were going to have 3 separate. protests in. sites just on the edge

of the city center. people then turned up there spontaneously in very large numbers i have to say difficult to know exactly how many it wasn't a processed of the type we've been used to with speakers assembled in one particular place more of a gathering. but i think of the point the protesters wanted to make was that they were not afraid of the government they weren't afraid of the threat of arrest and these special emergency powers and they made it very clearly today and what is the sort of larger message that the protesters are sending out what are they demanding . well that was interesting too because while many of the protest leaders have been detained in the last couple of days and weeks we didn't see any of the sort of charismatic people we've seen speaking on stages of but what we did see was it was individuals coming out with loud halos with speakers

with small speakers systems. taking on the crowd in the same cheers that we've heard on those protests stages and they are pretty much 3 things that they want reform of the monarchy they want the current prime minister to get out and they want their friends in those protest leaders who've been detained to be freed and investigation of those people who disappeared in the last couple of years so on those they are still very much united and interestingly particularly on the issue of the monarchy and this is problematic for the government. i think as they have pushed those protesters harder and harder we're hearing more and more radical things from the people that are speaking through the loud speakers and the ones we're speaking to personally it is something of a surprised here's the people speaking so liberally about the monarchy in a place where that can come with a 15 year jail sentence but i think protesters now are getting to the point where

they are being forced into a corner and that is forcing them into more and more radical ideas all right tony chang thank you for that update from bangkok. turkey has reportedly tested its russian made missile defense system drawing criticism from the united states washington has repeatedly warned ankara against purchasing the s 400 system saying it could compromise shared nato military systems the u.s. says if confirmed the test risks jeopardizing the security relationship with turkey for greece is the senior defense fellow at the international institute of strategic studies he was also the former director of policy planning at nato and he says that turkey is playing a risky game that's placing nato alliances in jeopardy. it's both particular magickal and a political problem technological because nato cannot integrate russian made weapon system in its own nato missile defense system so from a technological point of view it raises

a really shoe and apart oxys turkey has been the one asking for the nato he said defense system too has as much coverage i suppose to be obviously also partly based in turkey turkey actually host the nato radar system that is part of these me said the fed so that's one thing the political issue is obviously its sense of a 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 different systems so it's definitely a step in the wrong direction compared to where all the other allies are going to fit what we're seeing is president ed go on doubling down on these very assertive region. policy it's not so much about to close alliance with we through russia because actually has a complicated relation and sometimes a conflict regulation 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 the number of coronavirus and factions in india is now edging toward 7 and a half 1000000 more than 63000 cases were confirmed in the past day at least 112000 people have died despite the rapid rise in cases the government is pushing to reopen all transport and public spaces to revive the economy in the one has the 2nd highest number of infections in the world behind the united states australia's foreign minister has tested positive for corona virus after attending an e.u. meeting in luxembourg earlier this week a spokeswoman for alexander schellenberg says he may have. at the virus when he met members of the foreign affairs council on monday austria reported a record jump a new daily cases with more than 700 cases confirmed on saturday and russia is reporting its highs daily jump a new coronavirus cases around 15000 infections were confirmed in the past 24 hours

country they've been demonstrating against corruption and a worsening economic crisis. another country that's also marking a year of protests chilling rallies were mainly peaceful during saturday but turned violent with police firing tear gas and water cannon demonstrators say they're still waiting for the government to fix social inequality and rewrite the constitution our latin america editor of the sierra newman reports from santiago. this was the finale of what had been a festive demonstration units armed with stones and molotov cocktails attacked armored riot police vehicles in the main gathering area for protests in chile's capital. security forces moved in suddenly hurling massive amounts of tear gas and acid least water cannon. hours earlier this sheen was quite different.

demonstrators danced and sang to the tune of chile has awoken. thousands of people had. come out to show that it was time to get back onto the streets to demand social change you know. we're out here after a long break because of the pandemic i'm a student and we need to show that we're still willing to fight for our rights. this was the preview to the 1st anniversary of the october 18th social uprising last year. it forced the government and ponderous to agree to hold a referendum later this month a mother to the right chile's constitution a key demand and the spanish says that the biggest struggles or battles are won on the streets and at the ballot box and that peace is the fruit of justice but the subtext here is to appeal especially to the young people who have come out onto the streets many of them angry and often reflect took violent to go out and vote.

100 meters from the plaza groups with their faces well hidden set up barricades and built bonfires of those gathered ammunition with which to later confront the police . security forces armed with newly bought proud control gear waited until dark to finally move in sending the demonstrators scurrying agrees to until tomorrow. to return to see in human al-jazeera santiago but we're going from santiago by boris van der speck he's the editor of chile today thanks for your time and i know that chile today was on the ground in santiago while these protests were taking place on friday what did you witness. well actually i witnessed a very happy peaceful cheerful crowd i was there for at least 5 hours and people were dancing people were saying there were lots of cultural manifestations of course some of the groups who are campaigning for

a new constitution were present would ban or switch flags. and useful further away i think 500 meters near bark a large group of policemen getting ready to like lucy already said when the night set in to disperse the crowds and that's exactly what they did it once i left the police started moving in there and the usual spectacles the usual scenes happen again so as that anniversary the protests anniversary approaches on october the 18th are you worried about that particular day and also has anything really changed for the people from one year ago. well. for the people looking at the people at the square is that it's mainly young people last year it was also people from the older generations present and i think this is just the consequence of the coronavirus crisis which of course still going on in china just as an area any other country. so it's mainly the young people who choose to be here and older

people who are just choosing to stay home regarding to the violence yes i think we should all be very careful with what's going to happen in the next days because it's going to be of course a beautiful protest beautiful moment to to vote for a new constitution but there are violent groups there is oppression also from the authorities. so yeah violence is a concern and definitely on sunday when the anniversary of the protests last year because they started on the 18th of october and 2019 will be celebrated that they people are really embracing for a new wave of violence to talk to us about that referendum the nationwide referendum that will take place on october 25th how significant is it that it's actually taking place and does it have a lot of support. well it's a it's a huge moment for you have to see that chill of all their constitutions have been written in dictatorship and occur in the current gusts to cian was written during

the dictatorship of pinochet. so that still hangs like a huge shadow over the current over the people of chile and right now they have the bus ability in a democratic referendum to choose for a new constitution to support a huge as long well i have to say i mean the people who are for a new constitution they're out in the streets and it could be that a large group of people who are against the constitution are just not showing themselves they are staying at home so you know to serve the polls the things you see in a street that might be misleading it might be that the rejection of the new constitution is bigger but as i see it the group who is for a new constitution is definitely bigger and will win on the 25th of october all right i will leave it there we thank you very much for speaking to us from santiago . new zealand's prime minister has claimed a huge victory in the general election cementing 3 more years in power just into our turns labor party has won more than half of the parliamentary seats it's an
