Thousands of new settlers in the occupied west bank. And the greek courts handstand long sentences for the leaders of the far right Golden Dawn Party convicted of running a criminal gang. And on time the hamas now have all the support the Atlanta Braves to take it to a nothing lead in the National League championship series. But we begin this new sorrow with the growing differences between regional powers russia and turkey over the ongoing violence in the goal of karbala a call by moscow for the armed forces of armenia and azerbaijan to abide by a russian cease fire has been ignored more than 500 people have been. Since fighting boko last month the region is internationally recognized as part of as are by shan but controlled and inhabited by Ethnic Armenians were russias foreign minister criticized turkey over its unconditional backing of azerbaijan he just. Doesnt you know thoughts on the brutality that we do not agree with the position voiced by turkey that was also expressed several times by president so it is not a secret that we cannot agree with his statement that a military solution to the conflict exists and is permissible. Well turkeys leader has shot back at russia with a defiant message and parliaments retch of type are the one says turkey will continue to support it says area lies that the region should be given back to azerbaijan resilin because thats a lot of you 3 members of minsk the United States russia and france are still putting this off with their stalling tactics just give them the occupied lands let them go to their lands let them do what they want in their own lands but there is an invasion here if there is democracy and human rights in this world and if you have been assigned to solve this problem as 3 members of the minsk group for 30 years what you need to do is not stall what you need to do is finish your negotiations and hand over the lands to their owner lets cross live 30 Bernard Smith he joins us from greece in armenia paranoids thats the International Perspective we have heard there but the armenian Prime Minister is also been speaking what is he had to say. This was an address to the nation by the armenian Prime Minister nicol passion and he essentially admitted that they have had to make some military retreats in parts of the north and the south along the line of contact essentially admitting therefore that azerbaijan has made some gains and he also said that this has been very very difficult for his country he said that we have made we have had many many losses and i mourn this night all take all victims personally i bow in front of them and we know that there are at least 532. 00 soldiers fighters killed in the fighting so far Ethnic Armenians and they release all the names or when you see the names they release the dates of birth as well 2001 to 2002 these are all young men 1819 years old many of them conscripts azerbaijan doesnt release the numbers of soldiers killed on that side but there will be casualties and they will also be younger many of them conscripts and burn wood meanwhile this violence continues despite that suppose that cease fire are a just bring this up to speed with whats happening on the ground. So there is still a lot of fighting along the line of contact and the angry rhetoric between armenia and azerbaijan is ratcheting up azerbaijan is accusing armenia of targeting oil and Gas Pipelines armenia says azerbaijan is trying to seize control of nagornokarabakh russias please over the top of this for them to observe the humanitarian cease fire dont seem to be being listened to on the big difference in the dynamic now is the involvement of turkey for many many well for 26 years since the end of the wall at the ceasefire 994 armenia and azerbaijan a face off across this line of control a lot of contact have been incidents before and the has been fighting before but never on this scale and this time the difference is the full throated support of turkey behind. And this is why russia says no we want a ceasefire we do not want we do not believe turkey should be involved in future talks over as a nagornokarabakh which turkey believes those talks a failed because over 26 years they havent found a resolution to what to do with nagornokarabakh all the lands taken by armenia in the last war they formed a band of smyth are joining us from grace in armenia thank you. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced following days of having fighting between Government Troops and taliban fighters in southern afghanistan it began on saturday and aid agencies now is say hospitals are becoming overwhelmed the fighting is in Helmand Province uncensored or owns the regional capital lashkar gah the u. S. Has been carrying out air strikes to defend Afghan Security forces its the 1st Major Taliban offensive since peace talks with the Afghan Government began last month and it could complicate the United States plans to bring home remaining troops by christmas or for more lets cross to feel your control free she joins me live from kabul and feel whats the situation like right know in Helmand Province and just how is it impacts in those who are caught in the middle. As you can see the sun has already said here in kabul and across afghanistan and probably that means that homeland will be bracing for another difficult night as most of the fighting in the military operations are taking place during the night we heard from Doctors Without Borders here in afghanistan just a few minutes minutes earlier who described a very grim situation in terms of casualties they main trauma hospital in provincial capital. Has been operating at full capacity cannot treat any more people and the m. S. F. Supported another m. S. F. Supported hospital in the area has been serving as an overflow facility with over 20 people have been admitted there in the past 24 hours and among them are even pregnant women and children in terms of the displaced according to the u. N. And local sources 35000 people have been forced to flee their homes a lot of them with nothing but their clothes weve seen pictures of them trying to load as much as they can and some model bikes and try to escape the fighting now you an assessment teams are over there in the try to assess the situation and its extremely difficult to get information and a lot of the infrastructure the telephone lines have been damaged so its hard to assess what exactly what the exact needs are so far about 500 people have been identified as displays thats about 70 families and a lot of them are in urgent and immediate need of basic things like water food and shelter because of the shelter that is being provided right now we see very very. Very very basic and thats why i think they will try to send more teams to more in in the coming days to see how can the facilities situation in one of the common sense most western provinces where its hard. Too subtle to. Come up to. A few of your country free reporting live from kabul thank you. Well al jazeera is a summer binge of vegas and doha where the peace talks have been happening since last month. There have been some headway in the talks and to discuss that further we have or theres a Senior Advisor to president musharraf gone with another another he was also a member of the Peace Negotiation Team thank you very much for taking the time ive heard you describe this as this ongoing violence as an impediment to peace in afghanistan is the afghan Negotiation Team willing to leave the table if the violence doesnt stop well our brief from National Defense and Security Forces or doing the job of protecting our people or our constitution. That this level of violence that we have seen in the past 3 weeks is a clear indicator of less care about peace by the side more about the violence its acceptable to our people to see civilians dying to see Public Properties and Public Infrastructure be destroyed and thats not injecting a good sense of confidence in the Peace Process that were so willingly ungentlemanly and faithfully gauged and the other side doesnt inject that with the same level of general in this to stop the violence we need to get this violence level down or stop it completely or people demonstrably so that they can build a level of trust and confidence that the Peace Process will lead to a shared future for all of our friends thats what we are. Engaged and looking forward to to work with taleban. Together that you. Find so much still to come on the news hour including here in nigeria where protests against Police Brutality are continuing for a 7th straight day. And in sports andy murray is still looking to hit top form since his return from surgery all the details straight ahead in the show. My. Israel has approved the construction of thousands of new illegal settler homes in the occupied west bank its the 1st time israel has approved the building of settler homes since a normalization deal with the United Arab Emirates and in the settlements are considered illegal under International Law when these are ibraheem as lifers just outside ramallah in the occupied west bank it needs a high are palestinians reacting to this news. Weve just heard from the spokesperson of the palestinian president not beat up again and he says that he condemns this move any condemns the general situation which israels getting to expand its illegal settlements on the ground while at the same time getting what he called free normalization deals with israel of course this advancement of these new units that resembles the highest number of units being advanced in one year if compared to at least a decade we know that the issue of settlements has been the reason for rift between the Israeli Government and the previous u. S. Administration under president obama just writes before the end of obamas 2nd term the u. S. Did not. Vote or veto a u. S. Sorry a u. N. Security Council Draft resolution that condemned settlements and considered them illegal under International Law so it was a message from the Obama Administration against the israeli illegal israeli settlements and many palestinians here are hoping that at term or that if the democratic nominee joe biden is going to be elected in november that they think that this would curb israeli plans of expanding settlements. Need to what do you think the science and means though for the u. A. E. The normalization deal because this was salt on the basis of a suspension of israeli settlements and this is happening now. Let me just point out one no tallow when the u. A. E. Deal was announced to normalize relations with israel the u. A. E. Has said that it has done is some sort of a favor for palestinians by stopping annexation which is an israeli a move that was discussed in israel the Israeli Government was going to be annexing parts of the occupied west Bank Including the Jordan Valley and some settlements here and there but poor palestinians they would tell you it doesnt matter if israel has delayed an expansion plans or put them on hold so long as certain and construction on the ground is continuing were standing here now in front of the one israeli settlement it stands on the lands of. Many residents have lost their lands and lost access to their lands to their olive trees we are in the all of season right now where many farmers cannot even acts of their land because of the growing in expansion of illegal israeli settlements and were not just talking about homes were talking about homes road systems infrastructure and what have you that makes any possibility for a future contiguous palestinian state almost impossible ok leader ibrahim there live for is in the occupied west bank thank you very much indeed. Lets get more now from not be a shot a Senior Palestinian official ended fine said see the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas and joins us from ramallah kids have you with us on the knees are how do you think this latest move for further harm an already shattered Peace Process what are the what is the Palestinian Authority planning to do about this. I think mr trump the United States made it very clear what we have been warming our brothers in the gulf for for a very very clearly and very. Distinctly that that this term plan has nothing to do with peace it has to do with allowing israelis to annex as much of the illegally occupied territory of the west bank town and East Jerusalem as possible. A said no by creating relationship with israel but israel is will be late for ever be it to be sure an extension and became very clear today that this is were there was never true lives were going on with an extension with further settlements became over as much of our really as possible there is no advantage at all that the palestinian people. The arabs creating a relationship with israel there is absolutely nothing that mr graham has planned for the palestinians or a 2 state solution or peace it will look quite bold i mean to the palestinians have any options here at all or is this something that is just going to have to happen because the israelis are the powerful ones and they now have normalization agreements with the u. A. E. With theyre trying to get more deals with with more countries do you think this will tilt the balance at all will the u. S. And battery back track its all or are the palestinians left with nothing. I think its possible that the battering may retreat from the position after what they heard today it is definitely this is going to discourage any other arab countries from going their way and were there were not leaving were not going anywhere. There is in fact enough. Support for us in the arab world and the rest of the world and. Were hearing on our land were not leaving it were 7000000 people in the in the area occupied in my think would be a very occupied back in 67 which is absolutely equal to the number of jews in israel and in the settlements before there is no way you can reach a solution that will bring about peace. And unfortunately we have lost shaath there he was a person official and adviser to the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas well israel and lebanon the nations are technically at war have met for the 1st time in decades to discuss their maritime border disputes that allegations were in southern lebanon for what was called in direct talks both sides claim parts of the mediterranean coast line were all in gas fields have been discovered center how to report from the koran. Away from the media israeli and lebanese negotiators talk about a decades old maritime border dispute for the 1st time the hostile neighbors are sitting in the same room but are speaking through their un hosts and u. S. Mediators they insist this is not about making peace but its about extending the exploration of potentially gaz a rich waters in the mediterranean the timing appears to be political its quite peculiar that is happening. When us. Toward some of them used. To simply mean that. The deal was announced after u. S. Sanctions were imposed on politicians including a close ally to speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri for corruption and financially enabling hezbollah berry is an ally of the iranian backed group which has fought wars with israel in the past and previously opposed the us mediating role in the dispute hezbollah says its attitude toward israel hasnt changed and given that its the Strongest Force in lebanon its approval is needed for talks to go ahead both israel and lebanon and says the negotiations are not about normalization or reconciliation but this is the 1st time the 2 sides discussed a civilian issue since middle east peace talks in 1990 israel and lebanon claim about 860 square kilometers in the Mediterranean Sea where significant gas fields have been discovered the problem is that. I dont mind. And we are expecting. What you want and them. Best. But amid a Reelection Campaign the trumpet ministration has politically invested in these talks coming after the u. S. Brokered deals between israel and the u. A. E. And. They were aware of pressure so the pressure and the u. S. Having some sort of agreement moving forward but obviously didnt really. Have a more direct engagement with the mother of. The evidence is limited at this point thats not a full organisation but but i think at this point its a win win but its not the guarantee that we have in the especially a quick one there is no deadline but in the words of a u. S. Diplomat the talks can bring about stability and security along the volatile border deal or not for now these negotiations are serving the interests of all the parties involved. Southern lebanon.
