5:06 pm
with those in the last few weeks. and hoda abdel-hamid has the reaction from buckel in azerbaijan. well the observers have said right from the beginning that those accusations were groundless and now just a few minutes ago. senior aide to president ilham aliyev has actually tweeted that armenia has used this white phosphorus in the rooted in the woods around the town of show which their minions refer to as shushi and rory was just talking about this armenia was saying that john did that now earlier in the day the ministry of defense also said that it had intelligence that armenia had moved white phosphorus and they go no care of us with the aim of creating a problem cation now accusations have been going in both directions about who is
5:07 pm
doing what and who is actually breaking international law. by johnny point of view . there are civilians that have been targeted the most latest attack was invited a few days ago 21 people died in that attack on the human rights watch issued a statement on friday saying that indeed i mean you had used cluster bomblets in that attack now as a bridge says accused of using exactly those same cluster bomblets towards their borders or about something that as they are by john refuses but when he comes to do the 1000000000 told so far as a bridge and has paid the highest price is. about 91 people killed in the attack invited and then you add to those 2 attacks that happened in a few weeks ago. police in france have arrested a 3rd suspect than to thursday's knife attack in these 3 people were killed in the attack on a church the 3rd suspect was apparently present when police searched the home the
5:08 pm
2nd man went to the case on friday and authorities have identified the 3rd victim of thursday's attack as 6 year old french national nadine d.v.d. david chase or has more now from these. well so far the police have been very reticent to release any details but we do understand so far the barest outlines not only have we got a 47 year old man who's in custody we had a 35 year old man who was arrested here in east by members of the police anti-terrorist unit and then a few hours later they picked up another man a 33 year old man who was an associate of the 35 year old man that is all we've got but clearly the police here are looking for any network that might have been behind giving help to the to the knife man who courses in hospital unconscious in a coma got 6 bullet wounds in him and is surrounded by the police and doctors or
5:09 pm
that's all the information we have on that but we have also had of course a lot of tributes here behind me at the basilica as well as a few incidents of scuffling i must say were police were forced to intervene that's because there is beginning to be some sign of the division between the communities here in france and here especially in these caused by this attack the brutal attack inside the basilica but there also for the 1st time senior members of the muslim community here across france are speaking out against the violence and we can hear a clip now of one of the senior muslims the president of the muslim council in the city of rants let's hear what he had to say tribute mass last night and. the christian brothers and sisters our dearest thoughts after this abject attack
5:10 pm

5:12 pm
speeches justifying a kind of expulsion of human groups from the world today there is violence practiced by some extremist movements and individuals in the name of islam. of course this is a problem because muslims are the 1st victims and as i mentioned before more than 80 percent of the victims of terrorism are muslims and this is a problem for all of us. in countries across europe are trying to contain the rise in corona virus infections poland has recorded nearly 22000 new cases in italy field hospitals are being set up to deal with the influx of people falling ill it recorded its highest increase in daily infections on friday at more than 31 thousands greece has become the latest european country to impose widespread destruction prime minister meets attackers says most bars and restaurants will have to close for november and i tempt curfew will also be expanded and british media

5:16 pm
my. this is al jazeera a quick reminder of the top stories for you know rescuers in turkey are searching for quake survivors in the city of is mere magnitude 7 quake and the genes see boats and buildings and triggered tidal waves in both turkey and greece 20 east at least 28 people have died. our media is accusing us or by john of using the chemical weapon point phosphorous in the go in a car about its restricted zones or international law as if i shan't has to smith's allegation. and greece has become the latest european country to impose widespread cold virus restrictions bars and restaurants because for most of the member for when france and germany minister similar laws dance. all countries across europe are seeing a surge in corona virus infections and that's despite its track and trace systems
5:17 pm
which were supposed to help contain the outbreak but the lancet medical journal has warned contact tracing apps can only work alongside public health control measures like physical distancing and the closure of interspaces this week german health authorities admitted that they lost control of infections despite suffering a robust track and trace system the country is now going into a 2nd lockdown for monday in the past week arlen's track and trace system was overwhelmed thousands of people who tested positive were asked to inform any coast contacts themselves and earlier this month spain had to bring in the military to help and force tracing measures as its case is searched well in the u.k. there was hope that testing and tracing would help combat the virus spots the system is performing at an all time low a senior clinician has told al jazeera that mismanagement is to blame and to simmons' reports from the north of england. to control. testing and
5:18 pm
tracing must become a new way of life testing and tracing cost $151.00 half $1000000000.00 to set up 40 management consultants who are paid up to $9000.00 a day to make it work what are they doing what are they doing would they like to come and sit with a few clinical case workers this caltech traits or an experienced clinician says mismanagement or doctor staffing are among the litany of issues she faces so much rested on test and trace do you think it's failed it's increasingly failing. we don't get to people quickly enough it needs to be within 24 hours ideally by the time where we're calling people is 5 days since their positive test i do sometimes think what's the point it's the fragmentation between the cases being passed from ours to public health local teams and back again it would be far better
5:19 pm
if we were more. and with record infection rate increases the number of people who aren't self isolating is rising too despairing their only contact less than 60 percent of contacts of coronavirus cases and all of those people contacted we found a great many i'm not actually self isolating and the reason is they can't afford to because a lot of people on low incomes are 0 hours contracts actually are not going to be getting the money they need each week to actually put food on the table the n.h.s. cove in 99 and there's another issue of the much heralded is causing frustration with high numbers of false alarms this is the up and one of the major issues is that you can check in with it but you can't check out i registered in a cafe in manchester more than 12 hours ago i'm now in a different city but the app still has me there and if you look at the data log i'm
5:20 pm
in the cafe right up until midnight the only way to change that is to check in to another venue but if i was going home then that app would still have me in the manchester café the absence of an anonymous alert to anyone who may be at risk its main feature is bluetooth scanning linking to other phones but that can cause even more false alarms what you're basically trying to do with the tracing now is simply get lots of people shelf isolated but then you get a little sense of problem because people realise that all that running an app is going to do is to ask them to repeatedly self isolate when there isn't actually a good reason to do so the u.k.'s prime minister borrows johnson promised world beating testing in tracing it's nothing like that at the pandemic in europe is threatening a longer more deadly peak than in the spring and drew simmons eye which is iran northern england. posing as underway in ivory coast presidential election there are
