ago but the conflict has been simmering for decades one major issue is control of water hoda abdel-hamid has this report from the tata river in azerbaijan. it's been nearly 30 years since water was last flowing into farmlands along the line of control between azerbaijan and armenia to save his crops of wheat clover and cotton tilman had to dig up wells 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 reserve wire 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 the soviets but then fell under control after it seized as a very land in the early

john let's go straightaway to hoda abdel-hamid whose life was known back when i was a by john in the heart of what more do we know about this entire. well it was a very very sad day a very intense shelling in bar day it lasted actually several hours and really it wasn't the district that was targeted but rather barred the city itself now we know that several of these rounds fell for example next to a sports complex mixture a very busy market and in other areas of the cities i mean this is one of the highest death toll of civilians if not the highest death toll of civilians either side in one day so certainly is a lot of anger there we also heard from president. saying that the blood of the people who died will not go invade then that the response of. and will happen on the on the battlefield and it will not be a soft response so certainly this is a very dangerous escalation really you had a few days of calm when these humanitarian this latest humanitarian cease fire was and now so maybe reaffirmed but that is all but gone now or a hold of thanks very much in the heart of a $140.00. g
