on al-jazeera. if you want to help save the world. hundreds of lives lost in 3 weeks of fighting with a shaky new truce be respected by azerbaijan and armenia. hello i'm sam is a there and this is a live from doha also coming up back on the streets people in thailand defy threats by police to shut down protests against the government. attend selection in guinea after months of unrest and accusations of hate speech. by united nations arms embargo on iran expires this by the efforts from the u.s.

to keep it in place. we start with the fighting between armenia and azerbaijan there are claims the latest attempt to when the violence is faltering just hours after it began both sides are accusing each other of violating a 2nd russian mediated ceasefire in the space of a week it was established the day after the there is said 13 people were killed in a missile attack in the city of ganja more than 700 people are estimated to have died so far in the fighting in the occupied region of nagorno-karabakh of the remote mountainous area is officially part of azerbaijan and it's been controlled by ethnic armenians since the end of a 6 year war in 1994. i mean it is in ganja as a very john with the reaction to the cease fire from there but there's not much

belief in that you many tarion ceasefire was in the hospital a short while ago where you had still do did of the attack on saturday which killed . 13 people and then i asked the people there would you think this cease fire is something good and most of them said we don't believe that they will be a ceasefire oversea from their point of view pointing the finger idea me and saying that you know they they are following the news and they have heard at the statements coming out from the ministry of defense here but who's saying that they had been several violations from jeremy inside according to the ministry of defense the armenians trying to get back into food and your brain which i choose a region southwest of nagorno-karabakh south east rather of nagorno-karabakh that has yuri's claim basically under their control now and now we're hearing also some

news of still also to ministry of defense of some shelling going on further north in the region of us back so certainly people are following that they say that they have been the victims of an attack that happened during a supposed cease fire that was a 1st ceasefire that was also brokered by russia a little more than a week ago so they don't believe that this one will actually hold or burn and smith is in armenia as counseling out of on with more. there isn't a lot of optimism the ceasefire will hold but there is a lot of pressure on the political leadership here in armenia because the losses in the casualties their suffering and suffering now 675 dead armenian fighters that's the latest figures from the defense ministry and they're losing territory to azerbaijan armenia is losing territory that it is controlled since the end of the

war in 1994 this is territory between the go on a karabakh in azerbaijan but armenia says it needs a buffer zone a security zone between the ears areas and those living in karabakh though that area supposed to been talked about in the last 26 years over talks overseen by moscow paris and washington d.c. but nothing's happened i mean is there is say they've had enough and that is why with turkish support trying to take this part of this land militarily and they accept succeeding in doing so i mean you're also says today that with this ceasefire it tried to reach an agreement with the azeris and the red cross to arrange for the handing over of wounded soldiers armenia says that even this. areas have rejected this prospect of this option we haven't heard any response from these areas yet on. thousands of protesters have gathered in the thai capital

bangkok for a 5th day they've been rallying in defiance of a government ban dozens have been arrested calling for the prime minister to stand down the monarchy to be reformed and the new constitution he's formed those spawn 20 acts of violence tony chang is live for us in bangkok and judging by the scenes behind you tony looks like people are still turning out right. just. in another part of central bank. side of the city. there is universe to campuses. so i think they have shown very clearly that they can still attack the numbers after the crackdown on friday night where the police used. over to riot police out to use water cannon with chemical laced water in scenes that i think surprised many thais. but they are still coming

out they came out yesterday despite the fact that a lot of public transport was shut down in central bangkok the same thing happened today. the police repeated their threat that anyone turning up at these protests would be arrested and charged but still they come still are attracting numbers and still you know people are very actively engaged in those 3 goals you mentioned the ousting of the government the new constitution reform of the monarchy but also they want the protest leaders to be released many of those things. and they want them alone without charging for harassment for those people involved in the protests to stop the crowds look quite big from the pictures at least from the angle where looking at tony how much support do we have any idea how much support do they actually have. all they are getting a pretty broad base of support not just from those people coming from outside we've

seen tony celebrities for example who traditionally are very wary of getting involved in thailand often complicated political scenery in addition to a lot of these people are young people we've seen people turn 80 in one case hey paul fan web site managed to raise more than $30000.00 in 24 hours and some of that money's been spent we've seen it on safety goggles and helmets which have been distributed to the crowd there are sounds systems which have been used in the past. and i think it illustrates that there is a lot of support not just for the people who are coming but for people who are watching at home and i think the fact that people saw high school students. gauged in what had been a very peaceful protest being very forcibly dispersed was you know the big mo is certainly being gained by the student protests and that's

a problem was the police around here at the other protest sites for the last 2 nights they have stood back however one imagines that as these protests do gain momentum and some stage there will be a further current all right thanks so much tony chang going ians are voting in a tense election that follows months of unrest nearly 5000000 eligible voters are choosing between 12 candidates including incumbent president alpha condé and his longtime rival danny and the al this is the 3rd match up between the pair 82 year old condé insists his attempt for a 3rd term is legal opposition says it violates the constitution skip more on the 2 main candidates then incumbent alpha condé has been in power since 2010 he's 82 years old he leads the rally for the guinea in people party condé is backed by the

ethnic group and he's faced mass protests for the last year people are angry here amended the constitution allowing him to run for a 3rd term in office the main opposition candidate is so delhi and the allo he leads a party called the union of democratic forces of guinea his support base is drawn from the largest ethnic group for lani a necklace hark is following the election from dakar in neighboring senegal. there's certainly an eerie tense calm this morning as people head out to take part in this election following a divisive campaign i mean amnesty international just released a statement calling on the government to protect all during this election and earlier in the week during the campaign the united nations office for the prevention of genocide came out with a statement announcing its alarm with the violence that has taken place not just in

the campaign but throughout the year during the referendum and throughout this 10 year that has been in guinea that lead up to a running to a 3rd term a u.n. arms embargo on iran has expired after 13 years it was lifted as part of the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers the us withdrew from the pact in 2018 strong opposition to any zing of sanctions iranian foreign minister zarif welcomed the development calling it a win for regional peace and security also jabari has more from. the iranians have said even though they've reduced their commitments gradually over the past year since the u.s. left the agreement they are still very much committed to it and the europeans have said they are in the same position given the restrictions imposed on them by the united states the u.s. has imposed a series of sanctions on iran's oil and banking sector making it very difficult for

the european signatories of this deal to do business with iran as they would have under this agreement this is one of the main obstacles that is in place at the moment but they iranians and the europeans have said this spite all these obstacles they are still committed to this deal and even though it looks like this agreement was very much dead over the past few months this embargoed being lifted is going to be seen as a move that this there is still some like in this agreement and there is hope that this will last. the u.s. has been trying to reimpose the ban on iran since august but failed to convince other countries including members of the un security council our diplomatic editor james bays has more from the united nations. the arms embargo against iran was 1st put in place in 2007 the decision to lift it this year came back in 2015 as part of the iran nuclear deal in return for rum giving up its nuclear weapons

capability one of the things iran got was a lifting of the arms embargo the ability to sell and buy weapons now the u.s. didn't like that idea at all the trumpet administration which pulled out of the iran deal and that's why the trumpet ministration trying to trigger something called snap back in fact they claim that they did trigger it in september that was a clause in the iran nuclear deal that said that any one of the participants could force all international sanctions to snap back in place the problem for the trumpet ministration is the rest of the international community and the vast majority of the security council say snap back has not taken place i can tell you diplomats here tell me that the lifting of the arms embargo they think will not have a great deal of effect they don't think iran has much money its economy is bad to buy and many weapons anyway they say they're much more important date coming up is

the 3rd of november u.s. election day joe biden if he's president says he'll come back into some sort of iran nuclear deal president trump though has made it clear he doesn't want to deal and the future if there is a president trump for a 2nd term is much more uncertain. still ahead of al jazeera we hear from the taliban or say recent violence in afghanistan the word derail peace talks with the government and curfews close restaurants and new limits on gas. rings 0 battles rising cope with 19 cases. of. aloe daily showers are the thing in a good part of japan the moment in fact you could even argue it's more like proper rain this looks like a linked system back to china and yes it does in the forecast to you but it's not

things are quite quiet in arabia at the moment. frank assessments if american public opinion pieces betrayed by social media platforms after november what would be good for cultures if you believe that there corrosive to our democracy one obvious solution is to read from an informed opinion . because don't go anywhere the protesters aren't going anywhere either it's a bullet with a revolution. in depth analysis of the day's global headlines who is it that's really out there on the street inside story on al-jazeera. move. you.
