the united nations arms embargo on iran expires despite efforts from the u.s. to keep it in place. hello we start this news we begin with the fighting between armenia and azerbaijan and there are claims the latest attempt to end the violence is faltering just hours after it began both sides are accusing each other of violating a 2nd russian mediated cease fire in the space of a week it was established a day after the as a reset 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 disputed region of nagorno-karabakh well the remote mountainous area is officially part of azerbaijan but it's been controlled by ethnic armenians since the end of a 6 year war in 1904 without that hammy it is in ganja azerbaijan with reaction

from there. isn't that was fair bit of popular anger here all fingers pointing out . there's also very little faith in this renewed ceasefire that was announced on sunday people here obviously saying that they could not trust the armenian side to hold their part of the deal even though i feel there's a bit of confusion over what exactly that humanitarian ceasefire is about people here think that it's about and therefore still a tease when in fact it's really about bringing some calm in. a calm period enough to swap bodies and did. now the moment we don't know where that is heading we just heard from their budget and he said that they are ready to return some bodies to armenia through this prearranged cory door. as

a budget and said that it has informed the international red cross about it but this statement did not say anything about do soldiers definitely. on the battlefield specially in the areas in these occupied regions around no go no care about the azerbaijani army is pushing forward it has popular support there is a feel that as they are by gen at the moment because of the do every tory again has the upper hand and you have a lot of people here who do support that many would tell you actually that maybe a ceasefire is not what should happen now and that the army should keep on pressing burdensome if there is an army as capital you're avan with more. the armenians say they've been pushing for several days now to get this humanitarian ceasefire agreed on and it's taken 2 weeks to get this far it was russia that got the 2 sides to

agree to a humanitarian cease fire to the handover the bodies of killed soldiers and their exchange prisoners of war and wounded soldiers it was never quiet enough along the goal line of contact never peaceful enough for them to be able to pull both sides to be able to agree to do this there was an attempt last week on one local attempt to do it on one part of the line of contact but even that failed after a few hours because firing started again so this decision by the there is to hand over the dead bodies of the armenians had already earlier on agreed to some sort of handover of bodies and prisoners of war is a step forward armenia needs the cease fire to carry on its suffered now $675.00 armenian ethnic armenian fighters have been killed in the fighting and armenia has lost control of the territory it has held since the end of the war in 1994 this territory between nagorno-karabakh karabakh in azerbaijan is considered the security or buffer zone that the armenians say that's what it is to protect
