to measure months after brutal war, so thousands killed and war crimes committed against prisoners proximately campus conflicts. the commander eventually put an end to this bruce, recent weeks of scene repeat shooting, and i'm meaning soldiers kidnapped. well, it's a pass and repeated up and down. i mean years, hundreds of kilometer long border with as a by john until last autumn, see for the 2 countries international border was in practice. little more than a line on the map. armenia controlled both sides the frontier as part of a buffer zone around the going to care about. the problem now is that these 2 adversaries have very different ideas as to whether you bought a post should be ammonia, q as a by john, of moving its positions deep into armenian territory. other east curls the borderline or visual, say borderline, and k me side the army in territory about tricky elementary. my opinion that the situation must be resolved,

as soon as possible to talk to the partner is every say they have different maps digging back to the 900 eighty's maps. we show a very different borderline down below in the armenian border village of could. locals can hear the shooting in the mountains, but some, it's more personal than that. he just, my, my 3 sons are up there now. he's heal in the middle of the dad that yes you sons on the school called the number 232427. about what they did. just 3 days ago, their friend was killed, apparel received that he was just 18 and had just joined the army door to the passion virus. and drunk tells us his neighbors are too scared to take their cows up to their usual mountain passes to graze. after his airy forces shot heard as their cows to be wandered away. a tragedy for villages, surviving and little else,

just saw me yesterday. you know, the various come here now must stop and trample us. not particularly here and lots of there are, you know, get done, but i'm not going anywhere. i'm staying here. i've already had to move 3 times where, where like most people in this, i mean in village and drawn it was born and as a by john, a refugee from the 2 countries, 1st conflict back in the late 19 eighties. the war he says, has never really ended merely been caused some sci fi of last for years. some just hours. the currency for looking more precarious by the day with nick were here. the vote is expected to be close. what can you tell us about the 2 main candidates? the while among the 26 parties that are up for election, this company just 2 and

a half 1000000 people did their need to really realistic candidate, both of whom. how i've been on the scene for years, decades, even one couch. it was president, the 1900 seen as the criminal man in a mania, a man who predicts accuse him of basically selling our assets to russia when he was in charge. and who now what spring? i mean, even close to russia, rest already hasn't you basis here, russian troops, god, i mean the border with turkey. he wants to draw closer and is basically arguing that nickel brushing young man in charge during that war last year wasn't close enough to get him approved. and as a result, russia didn't come to me as aide. and nicole pushing him is an activist. someone who came from st politics who was challenging that elite it was challenging corruption who had had successes in the last 3 years. modernizing armenia, but now had to face them that he allowed this defeat to happen on his watch and didn't do enough to count on expecting area attack. these 2 people couldn't really

be more different, but essentially in the big picture in terms of where i mean, it goes from here, it's a choice between russia and russia. it's just the question degrees, whether you draw as close to the point of being essentially allied only to russia and totally aligned with russia in all that feeling or tries to keep some independent interaction with the west with europe that something nicole pushing and is trying to offer the voters here, but realistically, russia will, for the foreseeable future, stay the most important player in this region. and i mean, is only real hope of protecting itself from its neighbors. taken up by john. okay, thanks for insight nike w correspondent, nick connelly there, and your van armenia. and it's time now for look at some of the other stories making news around the world. more than half a 1000000 people have now died from corona virus in brazil. tens of thousands have taken to the streets to condemn president shire both scenarios. handling of the prices also, nor has consistently opposed lockdown restrictions and failed to ensure

christiana rinaldo, but they couldn't hold back the pace and power the german attack. and as you can imagine, the atmosphere was electric across germany. and not just because of the sweltering keys are in berlin. the relief of beating the european champions, which is palpable as the humidity in munich. those who didn't have a ticket party on the streets will no longer be so important. that means we're still in the tournament. let's hope it continues . that was a sentiment echoed by the teams unlikely hero. as he brought to me a list of info the wind means everything to me because it was essential for the course of the tournament offered it to us. when he told the man of the much trophy is amazing because i can't put it into word and i don't know my m, especially when you look back at the career that i had left, especially. and it's one of those evenings that i'll never forget,

my mom focused myth. and it was a night to remember for german fun to after the back of the world cup and russia have renewed hope that their team still has what it takes. at the highest level, the and d w. sports, jonathan harding is following the german team for us during the euros. he's out there training camp in bavaria, jonathan, so we just saw the relief and pride of the fans after that, when, how are the players feeling? just as happy as the fans. i mean, the way that they played yesterday was fantastic. i think the biggest thing about the performance as it was the intensity a lot of germany fans would have been so surprised given the performances over the last few months. but it was a real fighting spirit that was on show from the germany. we haven't seen that and years is very encouraging to see. and it promises a lot for the rest of the tournament. but just a fantastic team performance yesterday. and just to get into the details of how did

germany be such a powerhouse team? while it was vindication for your company, really, i mean his 343 system has come under heavy criticism over the last few months. but it was the same formation that he played last night and it worked fantastically rather go since obviously as we just had was stop a form of it. so it was yesterday at cambridge, thomas miller, i'm retired also was fantastic. mean really, you could have spoken about every individual in the team, but it was also the collective performance that was fantastic. they got in behind portugal, they exploited the space. there was an offer, was just a fantastic team performance. and ultimately it was a sign of improving on the mistakes that were made against france. this was a side that was capable of changing what they did wrong in the 1st game. ok, crystal ball time. do we think germany could end up winning the trophy? i mean, i don't want to dampen the mood or anything, but i think it's still just one game. i'm not quite sure whether germany are ready to win the trophy after this performance is still a long way to go. one game doesn't necessarily change the face of a team,

but pick tree and that last game could see then top the group. and that would obviously change things for sure. germany have definitely arrived at the tournament though. and that's the most important thing for now. all right, jonathan harding at the germany camp in bavaria, thanks very much. staying with football, hungary could face an official investigation into claims that their fans racially abused france players and their matching budapest. there were reports of monkey chance when france striker killian and bobby was on the ball. county benjamin has algerian. ruth was also verbally abused. football authorities have punished hungry in the past for fat racism, travels to germany for their final group match. japan has refused entry to a member of uganda. atlantic team who tested positive for corona virus is the 1st infection detected among athletes arriving for the summer games as while were vaccinated before traveling. one tested positive during an airport screening

everyone has to follow in germany. theme is just right on each of the different iran needs when you didn't really have that legal security you have. so that's been an interesting and positive experience in the it's the new scenario in various ways. back in iran, contra was a star, a multiple national champion in his discipline and a member of a round tie. quando team me has plenty of people told me that you treat so many people just between money and getting in the tax on the street. you'd say hi to friends. so that guy and the local supermarket, who, you know, market it and that's something i really missed here. fellow, i let me get it into the mountains. another son, the fingernails,

that's where the problem started. the reason was also known to the public as a member of the national team until the day when she was dismissed shortly after her greatest triumph 2nd place at the 2010 asian games. as i see thought, i really know that it was the 1st iranian woman in 30 years to make it into the final, which was just awesome for everyone in iran. i knew it would be live on tv. in the initial, the president about the iteration asked me afterwards why i had nail varnish on when i must have known it was being broadcast line on this apology, i was harming their image to all. one of anybody has faith was ultimately determined not by her sporting prowess, but by her country's religious police. wearing a hit job with mandatory nazi choice and with the countries take one day team in the public. hi. she was subject to very strict surveillance to have

i let you know. i never had the intention of leaving iran. i never had a proper goodbye with my family because i've been planning to come back with the bag. technique again is living in exile also means having to find your way around and re finding yourself and a key part of that is learning the new language. for reason has been getting lessons from cancer homes who already been living in berlin for a number of years. love me. ok. less muscle. marsha morgan, they're the each and for me tag smashed in this because i knew them play stone venue. fresh to them, put on yeah. okay. cancer, i was also in germany before pieris arrived. he's been here since 2017,

but he's reluctant to talk about the exact reasons why he stayed as a fear for his family. well then somebody called with my so let's see, i don't want to go into detail. yes. and on the political reasons, i wouldn't have felt safe at home if i'd gone back one john, me for being a man. i'm the other. so shop. just like a reason he hadn't planned to become a refugee but back home, he was at risk of going to prison. staying in germany meant starting from scratch. who he had with him was a satchel. like this one was a sausage i got from germany is one of the safety. i knew i had supported and we'll be able to return to a normal night while also resuming my sporting creek is indigo feedback.
