ah safe going home and then international anti corruption excellence award boat now for your hero. ah, the us house speaker calls on as a by sean to stop what she says a legal attacks on our media one on the visit to the former soviet state.

ah, i don't want, adrian said, again, this is al jazeera alive from dough, also coming up. don't, don't, don't. the u. s. president warns russia against choosing nuclear weapons in response to ukraine's counter offensive as well. cletus begin to arrive in london for the queen's funeral. thousands continue to brave a cold of a long queue to pay their respects. and 4000000 people in japan, an order to move to safety is typhoon nonmetal is to to make landfill. ah, us, how speaker nancy pelosi says that she strongly condemned this. what she calls illegal attacks by azerbaijan on armenia, she was speaking in the median capital,

yet yvonne lucy's visiting just days off for an outbreak of violence between the 2 former soviet states. more than 200 people of been killed and the worst fighting since armenia and as a by john fought a war. in 2022 countries have been in conflict for decades. so with a disputed region of no goto quarterback. but this week marked a major escalation with shelling happening within our media sovereign territory. as a by john says that it was responding to provocations by our media. let's go live now to the obedient capital yet of an al jazeera study chang is that up. what more did we hear from how speak up policy, tony? i think we'd expect it to possibly be a little more diplomatic, but she wasn't pulling any punches. as you said, she referred to those attacks as illegal and deadly clearly portraying as a by john as the aggressive. she said, the united states and valued democracy here in armenia, that it was

a very valued partner. you said the u. s. had committed to economic help from me and the discussion she had with the speaker of the parliament here she wouldn't be drawn on security consent. there are a number of questions for mommy and gentlemen about the kinds of guarantees that the united states could give to armenia. when it came to securing its full does, she said that she, the her delegation, were hit to listen to what armenia wanted. they would take that back to washington d. c. but she did also say that the united states should be in a position to use that leverage to bring more security guarantees to me. and that may be a message to turkey, one of its nato partners who seem very much of a player and a backup with as a by johns military, that they may be getting a call from washington d. c. about these recent attacks. but generally, i think there was a message of wholehearted support. and one of the united states is very much in

armenia corner when it comes to the recent company, tony russia negotiated the current front child piece. had had peacekeepers in the region. can the us guarantee the security of armenia borders? i think that was very much the question on lot of our media and mine's when they were watching this press conference. she wouldn't be dro. and she, she said that they were here to listen to the things the, to the armenian government wants it. but i think the us also recognizes the military support. it would be very difficult to provide here. it would require an awful lot of commitment that america probably isn't likely to give at this stage. nonetheless, she said that the united states was committed using its leverage, and it would have considerable leverage over turkey and turkey. thus with as by

john. she also said that the cannot, the future is the one to secure the value of the democratic values here in mania. and so the united states had committed to helping me on the claim. and i think generally she was very committed. she said that freedom and security was of vital importance to the united states and to mean it. and she said she was working for both with the armenian government. in the talk today i was there was tourney, chang reporting live there from medias capital. yet of tony many thanks, and deed in as by young people have returned to the 1st village to be reconstructed since the war with armenia 2 years ago. despite the violence in recent days, they say that determined to stay and rebuild their lives. i'll just as charles strapped the reports from a gully in as by john these as airy graves have been neglected

for more than 30 years. the village was destroyed in fighting in the early 19 nineties when the armenian army occupied this area. 2 years ago, the army military was forced out in a 6 week war that claimed 6500 lives and new village has been built so many as errors in return. i love the thought built in the statue you see represents pasent high for us. we hope we can solve this problem without fighting but there are fears that have pride, joy, peace may be unraveling. both sides blame each other for a recent up surgeon fighting that killed more than $200.00 soldiers. this village is the 1st village in this area to have been rebuilt, since the as airy military took back control of this area in 2020, after what they say was 30 years of armenian occupation. and the people coming back to live here, say that despite the recent escalation or violence,

some of which happened close to here. they are determined to stay the silly move of family, a, one of almost 70 families who moved back so far. fernandez, cries, she listens to her daughter. describe what happened when they fled 29 years ago. she says, she won't let her daughters, childhood be destroyed like hers was. analog gamma didn't allow our children have to be here. we have to bring them up here because we run this land back with the blood of our soldiers. the government built village has shops, a school and a workshop where women get paid to make medical clothing and masks. so guess at some hail ha, it feels incredible to be back. the last 30 years of our life was bad. we lived in camps and often on the streets. the yellow flags fly over the grave of a soldier above the village. there is no agreement on

a peaceful solution to the conflict of an ago. no kara back, only hope that the killing will finally stop. char stratford, al jazeera, a gully, azerbaijan, the contested nagondo caraballo region, is at the heart of a years long standoff between the neighbors. it's internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan, but 95 percent of the population is ethnic armenian conflict 1st broke out in 1988. during soviet rule, the goto camelback declared independence and tried to unite with armenia. as the soviet union collapsed, the violence escalated into outright war when the fighting ended in 1994 arminian forces controlled the area and other nearby districts. with full scale war started again in 2020 of the 6 weeks of fighting as a by john regained much of the territory. a russian peacekeeping force was deployed

to enforce a cease fire. but fighting still breaks out periodically. matthew bryce as a former mediator in the nagondo cadillac conflict of a former american ambassador to azerbaijan. he says that this is a political move by us. how speaker nancy pelosi? i think it's overwhelmingly about the domestic audience. i mean, of course, remember that in november we have these midterm, congressional parliament reelections, which will really have a huge impact on determining the, the future political orientation of united states. and even though the, the future of joe biden, the, the by an administration and secretary of state blinking, they very much it, based on my analysis. want to try to continue the u. s. role as an objective mediator and saw secretary blank and has been on the phone many times with president a lee of us or by john and and with counterparts in our media. so i think maybe what secretary are what a speaker pelosi is doing is similar to her trip to taiwan a few weeks ago where the, the biden ministration was not happy with her. going to to one side of the conflict

. thinking that that would raise tensions. but what the heck she, she's number 3 in line for the, you know, apple for the presidency or number 2 after the vice president. should god forbid the u. s. president become incapacitated. she's underscoring that the legislative branch is an independent branch of the united states government. so her presence in yerevan really doesn't say anything about that. the president of the united states take on the conflict it's, it's her independent view. ukraine's president says that evidence of widespread torture has been found as more bodies on of a mass burial size. in the east, the city of ism was retaken from russian forces last week. the czech republic, which holds the rotating e u. presidency is calling for an international war, crimes tribunal to be established. the head of the pro rushing forces that retreated from isn't as accused ukraine of staging atrocities. meanwhile, pro russian forces in the eastern city of don't ask say that at least 4 people have

been killed by shilling. the city is on the russian control, and its mass says the central part of the nat squaws attacked one of the main electricity lions to the zapora. g, a nuclear power plants and sell them. ukraine has been reconnected. it's now supplying power again from the ukrainian grid. over the last 2 weeks, all 4 lions have been cut off to the fighting near the russian held facility. u. s . president joe biden has warned russia against using chemical or nuclear weapons in ukraine to avenge its losses. he was speaking on the c b s 60 minutes program. vladimir putin is becoming embarrassed and pushed into a corner. and i wonder mister president, what you would say to him if he is considering using chemical or tactical nuclear weapons don't, don't, don't. who achieve the face more on like anything since war 2.

and the consequences of that would be what, what would the u. s. response be you think i would tell you if i knew exactly what of course i'm not going to tell you, will be consequential. they'll become more of a prior in the world than they ever have been. the depending on the extent of what they do, determine what response worker from washington d. c. chaper tansy explains now what the president's comments really mean. everything we've heard from the us administration and intelligence officials has been consistent over the last several months that the u. s. has seen absolutely no evidence that russia is preparing for a tactical nuclear attack in u crane. it has no preparations. it doesn't even feel that it's plausible that vladimir putin would make such a move in the current circumstances. in fact, there was some reporting in the new york times that he had been instruction officials felt that far from being corner there are plenty of conventional weapons and tactics far more brutal. the booty hasn't used yet,

so there is not feeling that he's in a corner state. there is a debate about what would potentially make russia use is nuclear us. no. william burns, in april. the ca, director said it was if russia felt it was under the extra extra central threat. he gave the example of nato militarily getting involved on the ground. the all mass in ukraine, about something that the, the u. s. is trying to avoid giving the perception of, to russia, that this is now just simply all out proxy war between the u. s. and nature and, and russia. and that's one of the reasons why joe biden is refusing to gives lensky the long range missiles he keeps asking for which could potentially be used against russia. that, according to a lot of reporting and sources, is what joe byte feels could be potentially a red line where russia would suddenly fail, waits. this is now an accidental threat. ah.

within temperatures in adelaide and melbourne, touching up towards 20, but the showers will still be there. some busty, a winds as well. but along that coast, look at the sunshine for brisbin and sydney, that was your home hope across the tasman. it's not the same story for western areas of the south island looking wintery and wet, but look at christ church, basking in the sunshine at $21.00 degrees celsius. ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
