and calls for a national strike in better routes as pressure grows on the president to resign. a 3rd attempt to uphold a humanitarian ceasefire between azerbaijan and armenia has come into effect the 2 sides have been fighting over the disputed territory of new gonna come about but as during previous attempts to stop the conflict both have already accused the other of violating that agreement this latest truce was mediated by the united states despite heavy fighting on sunday when it speak now talk one on one of the homemade she joins us live from an gets of it in azerbaijan how to by my count it's been 5 hours now since that cease fire officially began from what you've been hearing so far is there any suggestion that things might be different this time around. whether it does feel that things are different this time around there have. there

has been sporadic shelling in both directions but by and large i would say compared to the one that was reaffirmed only less than 10 days ago and october 17th by and large it's a different atmosphere today now deserted as you said the early hours. as i'm speaking to you now president ilham aliyev is addressing the nation and he said very clearly the military solution is still on the table everybody keeps on telling him about a political solution but nothing had to happen for the past 30 years or nearly 30 years and he says that for for as a by gender satirist quo is unacceptable anymore so yes he wouldn't mind if they go she did solution but if they see that there is no way out then he will continue with the military operation as a budget at the moment is making a lot of territorial gains it has the upper hand and president this is just

suggesting that he will give a chance for the ceasefire but there has to be an outcome today and one of the preconditions for any kind of negotiations or long term cease fire is a key set timetable the timetable of withdrawal of all armenian forces from all these occupied territories. as we've been saying as our forces have been advancing in the lead up to this attempt to trieste how the civilians responding to all of them. well civilians have been the areas where the. army is advancing is by and large now void of civilians some of them some of those advancements are made in the occupied district as around the border karabakh that have been in this it habited for a long time now what is happening actually is that on a daily basis the government here and now nces a new territory that have been retaken by the army they have advance definitely to

the south to do south east and to disallow through west of now gordon or care about yesterday as decision if it in town of badly had been taken but when they also take territory they also put their hands on retake natural resources or that quite important for discussion and for minya. it's been nearly 30 years since water was lost flowing into farmlands along the line of control between azerbaijan and armenia to see if his crops of wheat clover and cotton. had to dig up with deep enough to reach the underground water but. i remember when the water was plentiful here i remember when these canals were built it was 974 rivers waters were rich in minerals and the crops were very good the underground water is not as rich in minerals anymore my annual yield is much lower and the quality of the crops is not as good. water is one of the issues at the heart of the conflict between the 2

countries people here say their livelihood has been taken hostage by armenia which had controlled the main reservoir that supplies the water system in these from time areas until just a few weeks ago the tartar rivers fed by the dam which was built by dystopias but then fell under control after 8 seasons as a land in the early 1990 s. now azerbaijan says that. stopped the flow of water so the river bed would dry up. as if by john announced it had retaken control of the reservoir in the 2nd week of the conflict zone the road leading there is a ready under construction despite its proximity to the front line and continuous shelling. and water has started trickling again to the tartar river which runs about 200 kilometers along the kind of region and surrounding areas. water started

to arrive in some regions but it hasn't reached everywhere yet we need the water to start flowing the river again we are depleting the underground water and we need the water from the reservoir to increase the underground reserves is going to take time before the farmers here enjoy a water flowing in their canals again many need to be weeded out and repaired it will also take time before the tartar river is full again but for many here at the little water that is a ready reaching it is a sign that as if by jens army at the moment is making some territorial gains cut up that hamid. now libya's national oil corporation says it's reopened it's a last oil field nearly oil libyan oil exports were stopped back in january by world khalifa haftar as forces based in east monday's decision on the l. fields site means now that all libya's ports and facilities can potentially resume production may be used to produce more than a 1000000 barrels of crude day well let's get more on this with our correspondent

mark went up while he is in tripoli for us to talk us through the significance of this latest acting. it's definitely significant and important news for everybody in libya especially as you know the oil revenues are the backbone of libya's national income and the blockade of oil industry over the past 8 months and before that it was also blockaded for 3 or 4 years before the last located that impacted all sectors of life in libya now remember this comes ahead of the libyan political dialogue forum that's due to be held in tunisia. early in early november and also after the agreement the ceasefire agreement reached by the 5 plus 5 military commission which is sponsored by the united nations in geneva on the 24th of october the national

oil corporation this is the state oil for has stated that its it is lifted force measured on all. ports and oil industry lucian's after it has lifted for sure on the feel oil field in southern libya the question now remains whether or not these arrangements will be translated or implemented into concrete outcome on the ground. government's actions in. even civilians. everybody in libya is short of cash and people are just waiting for these agents to be implemented on the ground so that it can be translated into a concrete proven your of the ideal of oil sector and modern clearly very important but there are but my understanding russian and african mass now is around

some of those oil fields are there plans a potential threat said the oil installations were indeed pose a threat especially with combat forces deployed to buy russian mercenaries from the wagner group with the advance of weapons along with other african mercenaries they have been deployed by you have to the. military of military detachments near any around oil installations in central and southern libya in fact that have been flights military flights conducted between military bases and to hint military bases in southern libya carrying russian and african mercenaries with their weapons in the past the national oil corporation and in several times of the military prisons by the russian ministries near the oil minister lesions.

with this situation here despite the fact that the ceasefire agreement has been signed by a rival factions but the situation on the ground is still very tense specially with the fact that several arm of groups on the ground are not accepting the ceasefire will continue watching very closely. there for us with all the latest from tripoli thanks so much michael. well turning to the corona virus pandemic now and france is reporting its highest single day number of infections there have been 52000 just in the past 24 hours cases there have been on the rise in recent weeks have now passed a 1000000 surge is also affecting many countries in europe italy and spain are among the worst hit both have new restrictions in place now in the hope of avoiding another full lockdown while china is also conducting mass testing after

sunday several other european countries including the and spain are now imposing stricter measures as well as infection. now the republican controlled u.s. senate is in the middle of an all night session after voting to limit the debate for trump's nominee for supreme court justice despite its opposition from democrat while it is now just a little bit after 5 o'clock in the morning on capitol hill you're watching live pictures from that hearing now where republicans are continuing that session overnight to try to speed up proceedings off the democrats refuse to agree to a recess now this all means that the final confirmation vote for judge amy barrett could happen as soon as monday republicans want it done before the election which the democrats oppose now no nominee to the supreme court has ever been confirmed this close to a presidential election. well

donald trump's chief of staff has conceded that the u.s. is not going to control the corona virus pandemic letter says vaccines and therapeutics are now the focus for dealing with that 19 vice president mike pence has continued to campaign despite several close aides testing positive and now with just 9 days to go the attention of both sides is focused on key battleground states and gallacher reports from miami. a new wave of coronavirus cases in the white house isn't stopping vice president mike pence hitting the road and says chief of staff and other members of his team tested positive for code 19 but if i should say the 61 year old is healthy and because he's considered essential campaigned in the key state of north carolina with joe biden you got 47 years of all talk no action. you're here tonight because you know what i know under president gentle giant. it's

been 47 months of all action on results 47 months of promises made and promises kept everything is a thing. and so i'm here to thank you the fact that pence is potentially exposing of us to the virus drew sharp criticism from the democratic vice presidential nominee kamel harras she suspended her campaign when members of her own team tested positive and says pencil heads the coronavirus task force should follow guidelines listen he should be following the guidelines were doing it i think that we have modeled the right and that behave here and they should take our leave. president trump spent the day in new hampshire and maine which could both be crucial states on election day he continues to tell supporters of the pandemic will soon be over vaccines are on the way under a lockdown is the last thing the u.s. economy needs president claims his rival joe biden wants to shut the economy down

destroying the lives and dreams of tens of millions desperately hurt our small businesses inflict lasting harm on our children and massively reduce life expectancy for the american people a life expectancy so for the american people you see what happens and i came up with a statement other night that was me try and find somebody else said it 25 years ago the cure cannot be worse than the problem itself vice president joe biden who's leading in national polls spent the day with his family in delaware ill attend a virtual get out the vote event even as a record number of people have already cast their ballots while the messaging from both campaigns is not likely to change in these final days what's becoming clear is this may be a fight for battleground states where polls suggest the candidates are in a tight race places like pennsylvania north carolina and here in florida are all at

play and both campaigns scrambling for every vote and agalloch are all jazeera miami florida. well speaking of battleground states the u.s. state of wisconsin lies on a political knife edge traditionally democratic it they recently replaced a republican governor with a democratic one and now the democrats hope to recapture a state that does seem to be swinging their way john hendren reports from door county in wisconsin. donald trump swept into wisconsin like a cool wind off lake michigan and he left in 2016 with an upset victory in a state that hadn't voted for a republican for president since 19 eighty-four and he did it in part here in door county a swing county that voted twice for george w. bush twice for barack obama and in 2016 for donald trump door county is a tree lined peninsula jutting into lake michigan home to dairy farms apple orchards multimillion dollar lakefront homes and tourism. at the farmers' markets

and quaint stalls on this scenic lynn skate voters seem is divided as they were 4 years ago i when into the biggest. depression. american people could actually vote for somebody who. treated other people that way h's. totally totally blew me away our president has done a good job. but he's going to get in or not i don't know and i hope he does. i don't think any guy is. strong enough to handle the job with just days before the sun rises on the november 3rd election party activists say both sides know if not for wisconsin hillary clinton would be running for reelection and they are more motivated this time very early on they realize that joe biden was playing going to be the candidate they could best beat donald trump there's a lot more enthusiasm and energy on both sides people didn't realize probably that

you know they maybe didn't think it was going to go to trump so i think they know ok we want to last time we got a shot this time too and i think people realize how pivotal wisconsin is in wisconsin and elsewhere political odds makers say battleground state polls are more reliable than they were when trump won upset victories across the great lakes states but 2016 has left many wary i think biden will win wisconsin but i think it will be fairly narrow even though the polls are saying $5.00 to $7.00 points it wouldn't surprise me if it came down to a point like last time or maybe 2 points whatever the polls say if there's one thing we learned from wisconsin in 2016 is that you can't take this great lakes state for granted john hendren al-jazeera door county wisconsin and in part 2 of our series touring some of those battleground states in america's midwest john hendren reports from detroit michigan to find out just what masses to voters as in a trump majority county don't forget that's tuesday here on the air now u.s.

a year. millions of chileans who'd been calling for profound social reforms had demanded a new constitution to replace the one written 40 years ago under the military dictatorship the country dressed in his sunday best 90 year old who looked at our school when to vote in his working class neighborhood not even concerns about the coronavirus pandemic could keep him at home. to god that i never had a historic opportunity like this before and never will again it's the 1st time that we get to participate in the creation of a constitution that we can happen in puts in the judicial structure of our country instead of having it imposed i only hope i live to see the new chill a little human. on the other side of town members of the youngest generation of voters or excited about having cast a ballot for the very 1st time this is the 1st institutionalized saints or election

that i have ever been convinced it's going to work because. well this is a very important to particularly. when the vote counting began it was clear the chileans by an overwhelming majority had approved the formation of a constituent assembly whose delegates will be chosen by popular vote. and with gender parity they will ultimately be the ones to draft a new constitution a process that could take 2 years there was never much doubt about which choice chileans would make but now that it's official the chileans will be writing a new constitution the big question is will they have the patience to wait for the change that they've just voted for to take place. upon this is the decision fear it will create false expectations and lead to economic instability which will only fanned more social unrest. i'm concerned about the way this is being generated we need change but not so drastically calmly. conservative presidents of us who had

hoped for a very different outcome conceded defeat in a conciliatory message to the country power. until now the constitution has divided us from today we must all work together so that the new constitution is the great framework of unity stability in future. it's unlikely that this referendum will put social demands for a more inclusive country on hold but at least for now many of those who lost hope of change in the future feel they have achieved an important victory to see in human al-jazeera santiago. 7 people have been detained after a suspected hijacking of an oil tanker in the english channel u.k. special forces boarded the liberian registered vessel after its crew reported stowaways it was on its way from lagos in nigeria to an oil refinery in southern england and 13 migrants have died after their boat sank in the mediterranean sea
