from the rest of azerbaijan problem for us here walker is following the story from georgia's capital tbilisi so what's the state of play with the fighting now robin. so far as we know it's continuing there have been heavy clashes. in that area that line of control. artillery being used drones being used helicopters involved. seeing it shot down at least one helicopter as a by john confirmed that but said that the pilots had safely ejected. and now we're also hearing that is government defense ministry claiming that a number of villages from adjacent regions to go into care about because armenia has been holding a number of regions 7 actually belonging to us by john around the nickel the karabakh area. claiming that a number of villages had been liberated and that was said to applause to. the media with that video reports which would suggest that this is more than just a counter offensive this is an attempt potentially by azerbaijan to retake those territories that have been held by armenia for so many years but it we need to of course kaviak that with the knowledge that social media. to a la

disputed area dozens have been killed since violence escalated on sunday forester was reporting now from tbilisi georgia capital he says turkey and russia are playing a key role in this dispute the expectation perhaps is all the players the powers in the region that have the influence that's russia and turkey which are also rivals and that concern is that they could end up being brought into this conflict i mean already says that turkey is somehow involved militarily but of course russia has its presence you know armenia not in karabakh so either these powers will be called brought into this conflict or they ultimately will be the ones that would have to thrash out a deal to pull the 2 sides apart but this is early days and at the moment the focus now is on the fighting on the ground. and the headlines in coronavirus deaths have surpassed 1000000 worldwide the u.n. secretary general described it as a mind numbing and agonizing milestone the virus emerged in a wet market in china and has gone on to infect 33000000 people worldwide. reached an agonizing milestone the loss of 1000000 lives from the

it's a serious escalation today ok thank you for that robin foresty walker following events from tbilisi. just a bit of background for you both armenia and azerbaijan have been locked in this territorial dispute for decades which emerged out of the collapse of the soviet union that was when armenian separatists seized the territory about 30000 people died in that fighting in 9094 there was a ceasefire agreed but they've been several instances of fighting since as robin was referring to april 26th game for example when about 110 people were killed in the most serious fighting in years and then that most recent flare up in july earlier we heard from a c.e.o. who is the assistant to the president of john and the head of foreign policy department at the presidential administration he says as opposed is in gauged in quote full scale war and its aim is to recapture territory occupied by a media. and we have seen also this scale up before what happened along the way are mean you need to live into a who's out of the border of 2 countries but armenia cuba can see billions of azerbaijan another qu

calling on all sides to show restraint here is written foresty walker he's following developments from tbilisi in georgia . stream of video footage and material very much trying to control the information side to the war but certainly confirmation that yes they've been hairy heavy artillery used again by both sides during the night from sunday into monday and continuing today yesterday azerbaijan congratulated itself on having recovered territory all villages today armenia saying that it has taken back some of that territory and discovered a field of. military casualties dead bodies on the ground in its wake so very much an ongoing fighting situation here with reports of more casualties both military and civilian and now we're hearing those claims made by armenia's top brass with its ambassador to moscow citing information that the azeris had deployed syrian units there also accusing azerbaijan as well of involving turkey in the fighting and saying that turkey is actually using some of its military hardware to help the is aries f. 16 fighter jets and drones but those claims have not really yet

involvement goes beyond moral support and as robin for astraea walker explains from the georgian capital tbilisi well they've been on a an offensive today to state that it's not only the words of comfort that president at the one is giving to the years varies but also military support as well that is that is their claim not only in the form of facilitating mercenaries i seem it was referring to there but also. equipment in the form of aerial drones unmanned aerial drones and f. 16 fighter aircraft but again important to emphasize that we've not been able to independently verify these statements. this is a this is an information war that is going on now at $59.00 confirmed armenian soldiers dead and more than $200.00 wounded and the armenian defense ministry stating that the intensity of the bombardments of areas around care down the town of martyr kit is unprecedented we know that armenian civilians in these areas are sheltering on the grounds in bunkers trying to avoid being caught up in this. the u.s. president donald trump has come under fire after the new york times reported he only paid $75

robin forrester walker is monitoring developments from tbilisi the 1st let's go to sin and cos all in azerbaijan's capital back on the stand that we're expecting. as area authorities to announce some kind of what they're calling liberation of some territories tell us more about that. well some yes we have been hearing from official sources plus the sources in the field that's some areas. are almost under control of the big john military actually they have intensified the clashes in those areas they have been pressing into areas and in some places we are hearing that bridge on officials claim that they have given big hits on the iranian military and in some part they have asked for permission for the evacuation of 5 the iranian military members who have been killed in a wounded in the area this is what they have been claiming so far you know. go and look at about the area there are 7 reaches and those regions are claimed to have been occupied by the iranian forces since early 1990 s. and given the latest tension on the ground for szell's have been claiming that they are being hit by th

calls your you in back starting with robin foresty a walk following events from the georgian capital tbilisi take us through more of what data was brought. we have the armenian defense ministry confirming that a total of $59.00 soldiers have so far been killed. and dozens more wounded civilians on both sides as charlotte was referring to more civilian casualties because the civilian areas the villages in towns that are dotted along the front lines of the line of control are never too far away from the conflict and those munitions that are being used are not as accurate as the drone footage that we're seeing so much of on the military units appears to show so that is what's been unfolding militarily more fighting more soldiers and more civilians killed with the armenians giving those figures we're not yet hearing about what the actual casualty rate is looking like from the side also important into this mix the. asserting that turkey is involved in this conflict that turkey has been providing. military experts and its equipment from 16 fighter planes to drones but again this is an information

land it says it's invading robin for us to walk or is following developments from georgia's capital tbilisi this is very much an active theater of war and with both ministries of defense as you've been saying really giving it a constant updates stream of video footage and material very much trying to control the information side to the war but certainly confirmation that yes they've been harry heavy artillery used again both by both sides during the night from sunday into monday and continuing today yesterday azerbaijan congratulated itself on having recovered territory all villages today armenia saying that it has taken back some of that territory. the new york times is reporting the us president is paid no tax in 10 of the last 15 years the paper says he avoided taxes by the clearing large business losses and now personally owes crosses more than 3 $100000000.00 trump has dismissed the report as false poland says it could impose its own sanctions if the e.u. doesn't take more decisive action on bellows it follows more protests on sunday when the russian police fired stun grenades and tear

have been killed since violence escalated on sunday robin for us to walker is in georgia's capital tbilisi he says turkey and russia play a key role in the dispute. the expectation perhaps is all the players the powers in the region that have the influence that's russia and turkey which are also rivals and the concern is that they could end up being brought into this conflict i mean already says that turkey is somehow involved militarily but of course russia has its presence you know armenia not in karabakh so either these powers will be caught brought into this conflict or they ultimately will be the ones that would have to thrash out a deal to pull the 2 sides apart but this is early days and at the moment the focus now is on the fighting on the ground. coronavirus deaths have surpassed 1000000 the u.s. brazil and india accounts and early half of the world's coronavirus deaths the u.n. secretary general described it as a mind numbing milestone he's warning against misinformation and complacency but a russian opposition leaders fact one of skier has met the french president during a visit

and robin joins us now from the georgian capital tbilisi what's the latest now with the fighting is it still raging. we understand that fighting has been ongoing through the night and into this morning along what's called the line of contact that is the line that separates as ery and armenian forces in the corner karabakh on the border all the the de facto border line between the going to come back and as a by john and that would involve artillery rockets we know that both sides have deployed drones and yesterday we saw the startling footage that armenia had released of very tanks being destroyed so we know that a lot of serious heavy weaponry is in use the armenians have confirmed that they have lost more than 30 military personnel there have been civilian fatalities as well where not getting precise figures from the is arry side but armenia are claiming that they have killed perhaps more than 200 as ery military but those figures of course changing all the time and they should all be greeted with a certain degree of caution given the the information war that's also taking place at th

fighter jets turkey is backing as a very john open for us to walk or reports from georgia's capital tbilisi. soldiers and civilians are being flown to hospitals you know media's capital yet over from the conflict zone. then the helicopters returned to bring more we did from the government cover. but not everyone can be airlifted he. is fighting for his life in the regional capital step panic it you know. we took the children out so they could hide or run away but we failed one of my family members my 9 year old daughter was killed they either by artillery or a bomb dropped by them my little boy seriously injured my wife is in hospital she is also injured. dozens of people have been killed and hundreds injured since fighting began on sunday as a by jan says it is taking back towns and territory held by armenians since 1994 armenian forces say they are holding their ground. the most important thing is we are brave fearless and we will go forward with our stock their capture a lot of us very military equipment and we continue to fight against them using their own equipment we do well with this

so we have to treat that with some caution or good stuff there thanks so much to walk there from tbilisi russia has been leading mediation efforts between the 2. fridays live in moscow to tell us more so what are the russians saying right now about what they want both sides to do. well what they're basically saying is is that everybody should drop the war retore they should stop fighting immediately and start talking start negotiating because what russia says is that arms is not the way using arms is not the way to solve the conflict in the got look at a bar that it should be a peaceful ways it should be a dialogue between the parties involved the spokesperson of the russian president vladimir putin the me that it's said that the russian ease in a good position to mediate because it has a balanced approach to the situation he said it has good relations with both parties and that it can help resolve the situation he was also asked about a water reading officials announced yesterday saying that it might recognize the region of not going to cut off as an independent country what mackoff sai

forrester walker who is following developments from georgia's capital tbilisi what more can you tell us. well i'm saying vs aries. claiming to have made advances in cynical occur by retaking territories that for many many years have been held by the armenians as a sort of buffer zone that has enabled them to really keep control of this entire area with karabakh itself being generally the higher ground and those territories surrounding it to the north east and south as ery territories more lol and so. of course the armenians staying more tight lipped about what's being taken being lost they are also talking about being able to recover ground that had been taken earlier we have to rely on these official reports and take them with a pinch of salt because of course it's very very hard to verify what's been happening on the ground but it is also interesting to report that the armenians are saying but then he switches it inside the republic of armenia proper has been struck by a very artillery or munitions and these aires saying similarly on their side of the border in a place called. they

so far the international community seems powerless to stop it robin surest ear walker al-jazeera tbilisi. a current flare up is the latest of several deadly confrontations the played they're going to care about for decades it's left hundreds of azeris displaced over that time unable to return to areas not controlled by armenia but assuming of course the reports from back who many still hope they will one day return. model has been using these questions for years he was injured after stepping on a land mine while defending his village in azerbaijan facilities strict against our manias occupation in 1991 he lost a food and a home. since then mehmet and his siblings have been displaced and living in the stormy torrie from the soviet era he has a capital back there at least 100 other displaced families here as a result. azerbaijan's army was just being established program we had to defend ourselves but we didn't have any weapons but russia armed armenians we had farms animals back home and i had a dream to be a diplomat but it didn't happen. when i was rather nasrat is also a veteran in 1992

controlled by armenian forces robin for us to walk or is following developments from georgia's capital tbilisi joins us live from there so how does fighting look at this hour. we know that as you were saying fighting went on last night and into this morning and we know that artillery is being used whether that's conventional. rounds or also missile propelled munitions. hitting targets on both sides military and civilian areas are being struck and we're hearing also reports of more civilian casualties so it looks as if this fighting is isn't going away any time soon and as you mention as well that worrying development as far as i mean is concerned that turkey is prepared it says to do whatever is necessary to support as a by john and also of course let's not forget that there are other regional plays in the mix russia which has military presence in armenia itself and also to the south iran which is expressed at the moment a willingness to mediate if such a thing is even possible at this stage. and robin this is not just a fight between 2 small countries right there's a lot of other regional pow

walker is monitoring developments from tbilisi but 1st start with sin and cos all new she joins us from as the very johns capital but who let's start with the announcement or claims by as area authorities that they've taken territory to the west of nagorno-karabakh tell us about what we know about that. while some of the clashes are intensified on the north of i'm going to go to wall which is the area which is called tartar also in area. down to south and we have been hearing from the officials that they have intensified they have been pressing in those areas and liberation especially physically a city they own it can also be on the table since the breakaway in 199412 villages in the area have long to have been under control of the our series but 65 have been under control of their remains and those places those regions actually have been mostly evacuated especially the iranians occupied. those territories and thing is talking about them the officials have been saying that iranian troops troops are asked for permission from the. military to be able to evacuate their military members who

jan but it's controlled by armenian forces robin for us to walk or is monitoring developments from tbilisi in georgia joins us on the phone from there so let's start with this general mobilization going on in the garden or heard of our has just been announced i guess that's a sign that things are not calming down. most i mean it doesn't look that way to i've been in touch with both store and ministry as a by john and media and as you were saying both sides accusing the other of starting this which of course is the typical statements that you hear so it's very difficult to get a clear picture but what these areas are saying is that the armenians began shelling civilian positions and military positions on the front line on this side of the front line of. the military area we're talking about that which is going to karbala and that says civilians were injured and 2 military personnel killed. what the armenians is saying is that is very close to cusco attack on their positions including the regional capital stock panic. which is a very significant development because the panic was not targeted

ok robin forrester walk with that update from tbilisi georgia thank you. a day after a chaotic presidential debate donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden are out on the campaign trail hitting the battleground states their 1st showdown there marred by chaotic interruptions personal insults which often drowned out the actual discussions on coronavirus civil unrest and the economy john hendren reports from cleveland ohio. it was less a debate than a verbal brawl president donald trump lagging in polls and lashed out early and dominated the clock trump repeatedly sought to throw joe biden off balance with a big blizzard of interruptions that left the moderators scrambling to regain control i was a part of their preserve that rating was an article by me off like well i wouldn't audience moderator and justify and i would like you to let me ask my question and then you can answer go ahead friend i want to get rid of i understand it sucked but i have to have to give you roughly equal time goodies let the vice president biden sometimes struggling to g

robin for us john walker is monitoring developments from tbilisi in georgia so now we have this hour immobilisation call and martial law declaration in armenia that's a sign that they're gearing up for a bigger confrontation right. very much so and that would be consistent with the messaging that the armenians have been giving that which is that there had been a build up of as ery forces on the front lines on his very side in recent days and i think both sides have been preparing for a more a larger conflict or more wide scale conflict armenia holds the territory that's the crucial distinction between these 2 sides that armenia holds nagorno-karabakh karabakh is a mountainous area and the armenian positions are on high ground generally. lowland positions which include villages and small towns so civilians and military installations kind of all mixed up together and that's why the risk of civilian casualties is so high and so great on both sides but this really does suggest that something more is going on here than simply an exchange of fire that has been so frequent between both side

robin foresty a walker al jazeera tbilisi. rockets have been fired at us and iraqi airport where u.s. troops is stationed it happened only hours after the prime minister pledged to protect foreign missions there were no reports of damage or casualties after the 6 rockets landed near ports kurdish security forces have blamed the popular mobilisation forces a paramilitary force with close ties to iran but no group has officially claimed responsibility france's highest court has ruled that a suspect in the rwandan genocide can be sent to tanzania to face trial at a un backed course felicien is accused of helping to finance members of the hutu tribe who killed 800000 c.d.'s and moderate hutus in 1904 he's been held in a french jail since his arrest of his home outside paris earlier this year. had been on the run for more than 20 years. his name a book so many feelings for the victims of the genocide and for people in rwanda we've been through the arrest the court decision to extradite him and now we must hope that things can perce

the south caucasus pipeline transports gas from azerbaijan to the georgian turkish border a backer tbilisisay hasn't pipeline also passes through the region it carries more than a 1000000 barrels of oil per day with most going to europe while armenia is reliant on natural gas exports from russia to us deval is a senior fellow at carnegie europe specializing in the caucasus region he says it will take more than more than international mediation to settle this dispute unfortunately this round of fighting promises to be the worst probably since since the cease fire and of course the war going on to ninety's was a very low tech of the now as we're seeing today a much more heavy weaponry on both sides sort of destructive power is much greater but but ultimately this is a conflict of identity of territory between 2 nations armenia and azerbaijan and the outside world is not going to solve it there they're going to kind of try and lead this horse to water but they can't make it grow. u.s. president donald trump has dismissed a report by the new york times which claims he's paid hardly any federal
