we were in stepanek at the main city of nagorno karabakh earlier today and while we were there we heard shelling in the distance there are accusations that both sides actually have breached the ceasefire and they go no care about x. defense ministries accusing azerbaijan of using the ceasefire to ready itself for further military action they said the only way to achieve real peace would be for the international community to recognize nagorno-karabakh as an independent republic that is an extremely unlikely prospect well now it seems that they're going to try and start talks again jorun this very shaky cease fire the challenge is though that after 26 years of the end of the cease fire of the cease fire 994 as far as these areas will tell you the talks have got them nowhere the status of nagorno karabakh has not been resolved and a good chunk of his eyrie territory that is still occupied by armenia territory that armenia talk in that war that ended with a cease fire in 94 that is still an armenian hands and azerbaijan wants that back there are 2 separate things to be discussed nagorno-kar

armenia has been shelling the town of ted ted that's deep inside as ery territory armenia says that stepanek at the regional capital of no going to care about was raided there were air raids there overnight and they claim to have shot down more military drones so that's the latest in terms of the fighting or i will leave it there thanks so much from foster walker there. still ahead of al jazeera hundreds of refugees finally allowed into the greek mainland with fountains more to follow. pressure is growing on the better russian president off to new measures announced by the u.k. and canada. hello there still plenty of cat across central europe and a fair amount of rain further towards the east but what we have goals is a gradually clearing skies across much of the south and that is some good news because italy road 1st of all has seen some very heavy amounts of rain as you can see there and then not far from naples there was a flash flood through this particular village which brought with us a huge amount of months of people just working very hard on the city it's a clear everything away now
