Fighting the figures of course fluid as well we know of at least 10 Armenian Military personnel dead. As a by john also admitting casualties and also civilian dead on both sides so its looking like in just a single day of fighting so far at least as many People Killed as we had seen over several days when there was an outbreak of conflict in july but this is fighting of a different category this is taking place across the whole along the whole line of control and this is the area on the edge of karabakh territory with with azerbaijan controlled on the one side by Armenian Forces who mostly control. The higher positions and as ery forces positions along that line of control and also the armenians are saying that artillery fired by these areas has struck positions not just on that line of control but also within the karabakh region including stickpin of kurt the capital which makes this very a whole different category of seriousness in terms of this fighting busy news day lets update you on another developing still developing story coming to us out of mali just 2 days after being sworn in the money and president named an interim Prime Minister he is the former foreign minister mocked our 1. 00 and he will take over in this role it is hoped his appointment will end the ecowas sanctions placed on mali by ecowas the west african grouping of countries following the military coup last month our correspondent nicholas harch is following developments for us so nick what does this do potentially in a positive direction i guess to the center of gravity of mali in politics right now. Well whats interesting about the nomination of this man as you mentioned during your intro is that he has a political power so it is a break with the recent past and the government of kate where we saw so many people take to the streets and angry and upset with him but at the same time it is someone that is with continuation from the past someone who has the foreign minister under money to reign 2004 and subsequently to that representative of mali at the United Nations and also at the the west west african body whats important with this nomination is that weve seen that the president is a former officer of the military the Vice President was the leader of the military themselves so hes the 1st civilian in a position of leadership so hes key to ensuring that this government this government transition is successful to the eyes of the International Community and most notably to the west african heads of state who have imposed these sanctions now since august 18th and thats really crippling the economy of this landlocked country peter so many of the voters were clearly feeling disenfranchised for so very long under the old regime will this one appointment make them feel better about being part of the process. Well his job is to ensure that the 1000000 people are part of this process and in the nomination of this man there what was interesting we saw these negotiations happening we saw Goodluck Jonathan the chief negotiator of the echo off the west african body coming again in mali to try to find someone that could be a compromising figure the m 5 the Opposition Movement to was also in negotiation so his job is really to be the man that can really tailor to all those different grievances that weve seen during these protests throughout the summer you know its in concrete terms peter it means opening up schools again paying teachers ensuring that there is enough money in state coffers that the hospitals can function again theres electricity and water in the areas where the state has so often been since now the security element is still in the hands of the president and the Vice President and thats in their head but really the day to day of getting this state back on track well thats in the in the name in the hands of this new Prime Minister who will be nominating a new government on tuesday peter nic thank you very much nicholas reporting live for us out of doco.

The french president Emmanuel Mccall has condemned lebanese leaders over the failure to form a new government the Prime Minister designate must have a deep quit on saturday less than a month after he was given the job. You are today and the others are sitting unusual was has happened over the last few hours and days was clarification on that lebanese Political Forces and their leaders clearly did not wish to respect the commitments made before france and the International Community they decided and im forced to make a cruel assessment a month later they decided to betray that commitment in the live in these Political Forces favored their partisan choices to the determines of the country well our correspondent Sasha Buckler was following that for us out of paris. Well there are very strong words from the french president emanuel macron who accused lebanons political leaders of betrayal he said they had betrayed their people by failing to form a government to push through urgently needed reforms in the country he said he singled out i should say hezbollah but he was certainly seriously critical of all the Political Classes he said that they had failed also not to use time in the right way he said they wasted time theyd wasted a month in which lebanon could be accessing International Aid now that International Aid had been raised in august in a Video Conference nearly 300000000. 00 but the condition of receiving that aid was that lebanon lebanon would form a government but that had not happened it was very clear it is very clear that my core seems personally very upset he said in the beginning of the month of september saturn round the table with various political leaders lebannon who seem to assure him that they would come together and try and form a government and push through reforms but they had failed to do that he said that they had only in the time that has passed looked after their own interests. The perspective from beirut. Lebanese politicians are aware that they are under pressure but lebanese politicians are really abetting on regional changes and it seems mccraw understands that he said that the lebanese Political Class is holding it on and the lebanese people hostage with oven on is hostage to regional and International Power struggles in particular the u. S. And iranian rivalry when mccrone says this is the last chance and then he gives 6 weeks what happens in 6 weeks time the us elections and hezbollah and the shell parties who are allied with iran have been blamed for stalling the formation of the government in order to see whether or not the balance of power in the region can change if there is a new president in the white house will there be an agreement with iran and that way will the pressure will the pressure be less on hezbollah in lebanon because for hezbollah this is really an existential struggle because you know it sees the sanctions the u. S. Sanctions on the group as well as the International Community and i think martin across harsh language when he said hezbollah you cannot be a Political Party and be a militia killing civilians in syria was definitely a 1st because we have to remember yes the United States considers the military and political wing of hezbollah as terrorist organizations but europe does not consider the political win
