you know the area in karbala they are primarily inhabited by armenians so i mean it's very hard push for ethnic cleansing the armenians are all going to leave because they actually live there the problem is that their results are there by johnny community from a bar who's been in exile internally now that by john and they have been waiting now for 30 years to go back to work so he did the very complex because there are ads there by johnnie's or are there varies who also used to live in car bar for example you have a mosque and also the area has a very strong symbolic value for there by john is from. almost literally point of view. and that's why it's a lot more complex. i could. just because we're running out of time and i just want to ask you about this because president when we heard him mention there this other group you've got. russia the u.s. and france i mean he's trying to draw them in and get them to take some responsibility can that really help bring in more apparent mediators and potentially splintering things even further. i think that turkey is trying to push it into the

back in the ninety's saying that you know it's our responsibility to protect the armenians living in karbala and many of them go further back than that and they say this is still connected to the genocide of armenians back during the 1st world war and they basically frame it as saying this is about the survival of our culture in the region so the people i'm talking to seem very very determined to see this conflict through. our correspondent thank you. w.'s harm has been finding out more about the civilian toll of the conflict she sent us this report from the town of barga in azerbaijan about 20 kilometers from the frontline. if. you go far as the live shows us where he used to live until very recently. to see a rocket hit his house in early october he says right so. far the gulf coast off base should out. his home for 35 years burnt down to the walls. i never walked over to the whole family was sitting here watching t.v. and suddenly there was an explosion in the backyard everything started burning we ran outside and called the fire fighters but when they arrived it was already too late for

would and the armenians now living in nagano karbala be allowed to stay if azerbaijan takes over the region opinions here are mixed. the billions who didn't fight who didn't shoot anyone who didn't take part in terrorism would be allowed to stay in the garner car about it with this message that we cannot live together with these hateful enemies their enemies we cannot accept them. it's. turkey supports john in this war and has sent combat drones that's another reason. my locals are sure of victory even if they're being bombarded with grenades every day . to the united states now where the confirmation of amy kone berets to the supreme court has given america's top court a conservative majority for years to come the senate approved the nomination by 52 votes to 48 barrett's appointment was strongly opposed by congressional democrats. after a month in the spotlight she finally got to say these words. judge amy carney is heading to the u.s. supreme court. it's a privilege to be asked to serve my country and this office and i stand here tonight truly honored and humbled. president donald

ended up in 1904 as i say it was armenia speak turkey and most of their refugees from up north in karbala where ethnic kurds are by join us not only and i want to cut off. armenian control but also several jason. districts over over by jump rope are armenian control so i think what we should all pray for is that bob who just wants to get back to these areas 1 which are not populated almost by anyone right now that would be i think the best outcome because it would be in the form of your security in return for terrorist in action but unfortunately there is a high risk it's not going to happen because both sides are raising the stakes you know the latest reports are that armenian missiles some armenian have targeted ganja which is the 2nd largest city in azerbaijan that just kind of raises the stakes dramatically in this situation so both sides have arguments in their favor the russian educate is very simple just stop fighting trying to resolve it by peaceful means because if there are if you're just of course a lot of them will go to russia. and that's the more star i think. of these confl

stuff it cannot go it cannot continue like this the territories of azerbaijan including not in the karbala under the occupation of armenia for almost 3 decades since 1922 we have minsk group we have missed call chairs russia united states and france has there been any solution or any credible efforts no so that's why armenia is very much encouraged to attack as a bridge in the territory is not under the occupation. in july and also recently so we also believe in a peaceful negotiated solution but everybody has to understand the frustration preservations of the bija. as bring you some breaking news the 2020 nobel prize for literature has just been announced it's gone to the american poet louise gluck the nobel committee awarded it to her list a couple poetic voice. u.s. vice president mike pence and his democratic rival come along horace have squared off over the challenges facing the nation including the pandemic economy and global warming but it was much less raucous than last week's presidential debate between donald trump and joe biden brunell's reports senator harrison vice president p

i'm going to karbala is one of several border disputes remaining from the collapse of the soviet union they are broke away from azerbaijan in 1988 and declared itself independent however the enclave mostly populated by armenians is not widely recognized as an independent state turkey meanwhile has expressed angst support for azerbaijan and the conflict but who insists that support is limited to diplomacy although are many alleges that the turkish air force is directly involved it's more on the escalation here's our senior correspondent ryan garcia for porting from istanbul. well there's been absolutely no lol in the fighting continued overnight raged i would say every few hours we're also seeing casualty numbers both military and civilian car it seems to be getting worse and worse and the escalation seems to be escalating itself and this is all despite tremendous diplomatic pressure for both sides to take a pause to take a break to anything you know give talks and charts despite everything the international community is doing the violence seems to be getting worse on monday but we have

national army units on full combat alert armenia has also accused of using cluster munitions and karbala and has published photos allegedly proving that azerbaijan has not yet responded to the allegation or confirmed or denied the airstrikes are going on the reports now from the destroyed emergency ministry building. has come under probably the heaviest shelling since we arrived here 2 massive explosions in the very center of the city usually what we could hear what we could see the smoke from the explosions on the outskirts in the suburbs this is the very city center and moreover this is the building of the ministry of emergencies so it has been obliterated i mean look look at this everything is gone windows are gone the whole wall there's a hole in the whole wall and it's not just this building there's a whole complex it's a large it's a large complex and it's everywhere like this obliterated not raised to the ground but it's gone i don't see any way how it can be fixed all renovated we don't know what we don't know what exactly caused the explosion but we didn't hear any sirens and si

between armenia and azerbaijan which has now entered its 2nd week the disputed region i'm not going to karbala is being relentlessly shelled at this point these are the latest pictures from the local capital showing burning cars residential buildings have been hit across the city and the number of casualties is so far clear earlier in the week a hospital was hit with an airstrike and several residential buildings were also badly damaged. hostilities are now spilling beyond the confines of the disputed territory with several towns in azerbaijan also bombed the city and came under fire within the past several hours as a pressure on claims one person was killed and 32 wounded on friday the town of turner was also attacked my crew claims thousands of shells were used in that raid since the start of the conflict azerbaijan says 24 civilians have been killed with 111 injured on his morganza brings us the latest. world with seeing unfortunately events down a path that was feared by many but few thought that we would get here many people thought the things would deescalate especially with such tremend

say they have conclusive evidence of militants being brought in from the middle east to fight in karbala we hear from civilians on both sides of the divide who say they don't want war. as an armenian i do not want to talk about who is right or wrong but i would like the issue to be resolved through negotiations i don't like what is happening many people i know we're going to the front line we don't want blood to be sure.

the karbala conflict stretches back more than 3 decades and although the region is legally part of azerbaijan it's populated mainly by ethnic armenians in an interview with russian media the leaders of both countries outlined their positions well. there is a red line for us and this is the right to self-determination of the people of mcgovern occur and that old times there are many of us ready for such a compromise but there are by john refused to sign agreements because of their bridge on did not want and does not want to accept that right. under no circumstances can the territorial integrity of azerbaijan be violated under no circumstances will as a vision consent to the independence of nagorno karabakh we believe that in the future the armenian and the azubuike johny communities should live peacefully and co-exist on the territory of nagorno-karabakh fighting it flared up recently in a number of regions throughout the area with both sides accusing each other of launching attacks don of reports on how life has been affected for those living in the conflict zone this place could very easily

hour ago announced that his army to control of more villages and physically in south of now going to karbala and they have full control of the city center for me it was it has been one of the areas that have been where there was a heavy about's along going along with the territory also besides that minister of defense announced that since the morning attacked at. the end hour that were under heavy fire by the iranian forces i spoke to one of the sources in the presidency and i asked him about our many insides rigid declined about the comments with regard to scott and i was told that they are just denying it but they have to prove that those missiles have been fired from our main territory and also turkish officials are tweeting support messages. for as our base john and just a half an hour ago turkish foreign minister just waited that they are siding with us our john and our mania is continue to follow what he called war crimes this is the situation for now but while the people are upset about what happened in ganja last night they have good news in their terms from their president in how ma

especially from russia which means that the weaponry that we have seen on the ground in the horn of karbala and in the surrounding areas are not the weapons that as a bridge on per chase 2 weeks ago. so it's not even turkey's involvement if you will in this conflict militarily wouldn't affect the balance of power either because as your wonderful reporting just mentioned there by johnny army has been much more well pat it's much more numerous and it had a great support clearly without russia's support for i mean. i don't think i mean i would be able to even stay in the conflict zone because we have seen reports about clearly civilian population leaving and we're knickerbocker now and the areas where the shelling has been taken place clearly russia is to courting armenia by providing this weapons to the free. and but even that would not i would say significantly change the balance on the ground if armenia wants to seriously advance i suppose without more russia's interference in the call it wouldn't be able to do so. peace talks between afghanistan and the taliban could be jeopardized if u.s.
