BBC World Service - Newshour, Fighting escalates between Armenia and Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan has accused Armenia of shelling its second-biggest city

Azerbaijan has accused Armenia of shelling its second-biggest city.

Long synopsis: There's been a serious escalation in clashes between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the disputed territory of Nagorno Karabakh. Azerbaijan has threatened to destroy military targets inside Armenia, in retaliation for a missile attack on its second city, Ganja, which it says killed a civilian. 

Also in the programme: New Caledonians have been voting on whether the French Pacific territory should become independent; and has Sweden's different approach to Covid-19 worked?  We hear from the country's top epidemiologist.
