So now after months of unrest in a campaign marred by violence voters in getting a costume that ballots to elect the next president Company Leader alpha conde voted in the capital cannot agree on sunday morning hes running against 11 kind of its but his main rival is the former Prime Minister. This is the 3rd match up between the 2 men if you 2 year old conde insists his bid for a 3rd term is legal but the opposition says it violates the constitution. So lets take a look more closely at the 2 main candidates incumbent alpha conde has been in power since 2010 and he leads the rally for the getting in people party conde is backed by his ethnic group and has faced mass protests for the last year people are angry he amended the constitution allowing him to run for the 3rd term in office the main opposition kind that it is low to say he leads a party called the union of Democratic Forces of guinea and his support base is drawn from the Largest Ethnic Group before lani art for more lets cross to nicholas haikus following the election from dr in neighboring senegal and nick so this is an interesting race is not a very Divisive Campaign be months of unrest border shut downs restricted Internet Access is not a great backdrop for these elections to be held how is it panning out. Well you have thats thats the whole paradox of this despite the violence despite the divisive politics of people came out in numbers to come out and vote hours before the polls open at 8 oclock people queuing up at 6 oclock in the morning to get a chance to have a say in this very important elections for getting we spoke to some of the voters that came out to vote say that they want reconciliation others talk about peace but many young people the majority of the voters in this election are 1st time voters talk about jobs unemployment thats a really important issue for for many young canadians who live in a country thats so wealthy rich in minerals and yet People Living in dire poverty we. Go out to vote earlier on he congratulate population for such a peaceful election so far as well as Opposition Leader. Jello saying that hes hoping that his victory will be accepted after the polls close its just an hours time snake a great deal of stake here of course. Huge economic potential. Thats right i mean this country guinea. Is the largest reserve National Reserve bank site millions billions of tons of iron ore diamonds gold untapped reserves of uranium we have multiple Multinational Companies that are working in guinea rio Tinto Roussel the Russian Mining Company all of them just this month announced record profits during the coronavirus a lot of investors investing towards mining in gold result announcing 9000000000. 00 in profit 8000000000. 00 for rio tinto and yet in guinea where all. All of that Mining Resources are well theres very little to show for we spoke to them by saying the whos a mining rights campaigner take a listen to what he had to say. You know africa includes very rich countries and guinea is one of the top 10 of those richest countries and what we in the decision this is that the kind of core. Products of abandoned us resource rich country but at the same time one of the poorest countries in africa and one of the poorest in the world because of but management of these resources and bad governance i think the alternative is those who are firstly responsible for this because the management lies in the responsibility of the government itself it includes designing laws and policies that guide the governance and the management of those Natural Resources aswell and so how they share those benefits to communities as well so in the context of elections and this has come as a key campaign to. Corruption is a key issue for many gideons they want to see an end to this corruption and see a greater share of the wealth 20 percent of canadians live in extreme poverty half of the population live under the poverty line naked among those migrants that try to seek refuge in europe well miners get in miners make of the majority of those trying to take to seek asylum in spain and in france despite the fact that their country is so wealthy or there is a lack of opportunity for these young people who are seeking a better life and thats what it really is at stake while there has been a lot of conversation about the ethnic divisions and various candidates talking identity politics in devising the population gideons want to simple things such as electricity at home Running Water hospitals that function and their job but thats what they want in this rich country they feel that their leadership is robbing them of opportunities in which they should have a stake and they say thats why were seeing so many people taking part in this election and whats incredible during the campaign is we havent seen enough conversations from the candidates talking about their Electoral Program what are they actually going to be doing whence they come to power now the slogan for. The main Opposition Leader is to serve and to unite a population thats been fragmented in divided along ethnic lines and often come day has put his Campaign Slogan is just take it is about trying to restart the economy of course under alpha can this rule he has had to deal with the ball the crisis in the in the Coronavirus Crisis and hes blamed the economic shortfalls d to these health and sanitation crisis but what good is want to see is jobs and a better economy and better opportunities at home so that they dont have to leave their country nic. Thanks will. Now the latest attempt to pause the fighting between armenia and azerbaijan appears to be faltering just hours after it began both sides are accusing each other of violating our 2nd russian mediated cease fire in the space of a week it was established a day after these areas said 13 people were killed in a missile attack in the city of ganja more than 700. 00 people are estimated to have died so far in the disputed region of nagornokarabakh the remote mountainous area is officially part of azerbaijan but it has been controlled by Ethnic Armenians since the end of a 6 year war back in 1904 lets hear now from 2 in gunja in azerbaijan with a reaction from that. Isnt that was fair bit of popular anger here all fingers pointing out. Theres also very little faith in this renewed ceasefire that was announced on sunday people here obviously saying that they could not trust the armenian side to hold their part of the deal even though i feel theres a bit of confusion over what exactly that humanitarian ceasefire is about people here think that its about an end therefore still a tease when in fact its really about bringing some calm in. A calm period enough to swap bodies and did. Now the moment we dont know where that is heading we just heard from their budget and he said that they are ready to return some bodies to armenia through this prearranged kori door. As a budget and said that it has informed the International Red cross about it but this statement did not say anything about do soldiers definitely. On the battlefield specially in the areas in these occupied regions around no go no care about the Azerbaijani Army is pushing forward it has Popular Support there is a feel that as they are by gen ad the moment because of the do every tory again has the upper hand and you have a lot of people here who do support that many would tell you actually that maybe a ceasefire is not what should happen now and that the army should keep on pressing lets hear from the armenian side no of course want to burn the smith is in the capital nerve has more. Armenians say theyve been pushing for several days now to get this humanitarian ceasefire agreed on and its taken 2 weeks to get this far it was russia that got the 2 sides to agree to a humanitarian cease fire to the handover the bodies of killed soldiers and their Exchange Prisoners of war and Wounded Soldiers it was never quiet enough along the line of contact never peaceful enough for them to be able to pull both sides to be able to agree to do this there was an attempt last week on one local attempt to do it on one part of the line of contact but even that failed after a few hours because firing started again so this decision by the air is to hand over the dead bodies of the armenians had already earlier on agreed to some sort of handover of bodies and prisoners of war is a step forward armenia needs the cease fire to carry on its suffered now 675 armenian Ethnic Armenian fighters have been killed in the fighting and armenia has lost control of the territory it has held since the end of the war in 1994 this territory between nagornokarabakh karabakh in azerbaijan is considered the security or buffer zone but the armenians say thats what it is to protect nagornokarabakh for the last 26 plus years theyre supposed to be discussing the status of this territory plus nagornokarabakh with. Nothings happened in that time has wires about john says it is now moving militarily with the support of turkey to take some of its territory. While thousands of protesters have gathered in the tiny capital bangkok for a 5th have been rally in defiance of a government ban dozens have been arrested calling for the Prime Minister to stand down the monarchy to be reformed and a new Constitution Police warn they will respond to any acts of violence turning changes more from bangkok on the protesters and their demands. Once again for the 5th day in a row protests. Says have come out on to the streets of bangkok to show their displeasure the government and again the oath orators have tried to stop them and failed earlier in the day the police had warned that anyone attending would be charged and arrested they even said that those people who turned up and posted selfies on social media would be liable for 2 years in jail or 2000. 00 fines but clearly that hasnt deterred anyone people are still here and theyre still determined that their demands be met quite a lot here in holland. I think we need to change we need to demand an end to the unfairness that has happened the 1st thing that i want to see is that they stop ignoring our voices we should be able to gather and protest peacefully and i want to see more freedom not arrests at this stage we dont know how long these protests are going to continue to a certain extent some of the phase has gone out of this because the protest leaders have been detained that said these protests have now spread theyre taking place in different sites across bangkok and tonight even in different places across the country the protesters are shown that after the crackdown on friday night theyre still prepared to come out theyre still to come are prepared to come out in numbers and theyre not scared and now the ball is very much in the governments court. But the most ahead on the news hour including the runoff polls have no clothes for Turkish Cypriots in the divided islands north have more on the front channel peace deal but some state. A rerun after last years chaotic elections why bolivians a desperate for a free and fair vote this time around. And the Tampa Bay Rays are on their way to the world series for the 1st time since 2008 thats coming off the pizza in sport and often. Now a u. N. Arms embargo in iran has expired after 13 years it was lifted its part of the 2015 nuclear deal with well out of the u. S. Withdrew from the pact in 2018 and its voiced strong opposition to any easing of sanctions the Iranian Foreign minister jobs are if welcome the development calling it a win for Regional Peace and security. Well the u. S. Has been trying to reimpose the ban on iran since august but failed to convince other countries including members of the Un Security Council diplomatic editor james bass is more from the u. N. The arms embargo against iran was 1st put in place in 2007 the decision to lift it this year came back in 2015 as part of the Iran Nuclear Deal in return for rum giving up its Nuclear Weapons capability one of the things iran got was a lifting of the arms embargo the ability to sell and buy weapons now the u. S. Didnt like that idea at all the trumpet administration which pulled out of the iran deal and thats why the trumpet ministration trying to trigger something called snap back in fact they claim that they did trigger it in september that was a clause in the Iran Nuclear Deal that said that any one of the participants could force all International Sanctions to snap back in place the problem for the trumpet ministration is the rest of the International Community and the vast majority of the Security Council say snap back has not taken place i can tell you diplomats here tell me that the lifting of the arms embargo they think will not have a great deal of effect they dont think iran has much money its economy is bad to buy many weapons anyway they say the much more important date coming up is the 3rd of november u. S. Election day joe biden if hes president says hell come back into some sort of Iran Nuclear Deal President Trump though has made it clear he doesnt want to deal and the future if theres a President Trump for a 2nd term is much more uncertain. Well lets hear from tehran. Has more. The iranians have said that even though theyve reduced their commitments gradually over the past year since the u. S. Left the agreement they are still very much committed to it and the europeans have said they are in the same position given the restrictions imposed on them by the United States the u. S. Has imposed a series of sanctions on irans oil and Banking Sector making it very difficult for the european signatories of this deal to do business with iran as they would have under this agreement this is one of the main obstacles that is in place at the moment but they remain ians and the europeans have said this spite all these obstacles they are still committed to this deal and even though it looks like this agreement was very much dead over the past few months this embargo being lifted is going to be seen as a move that this there is still some like in this agreement and there is hope that this will last well its pretty busy area to breezy whos a Research Fellow united a Royal United Services institute that is a think tank based in the u. K. Joins us now from london great to have you here on the program 1st what does the lifting of the embargo actually me and what will it enable iran to do in your view. Well i think what i was saying before about a lifting of the embargo not really making a big deal of a difference for the time being it is very much what i think as well and there are a number of reasons for it is 1st very still you arms embargo on the wrong which it still is in plays and will last until 2020 train it was imposing 2007 similarly to it in one imposed by the way you are now but its not expired today so this is one of the reason why for instance they were not as i demand as going ahead and we having another constrain and that you havent seen are today one that the us was going on about the other reason is obviously a financial situation on the iran but also generally speaking the doctrine that iran uses when it comes to its military equipment mainly right i know not on conventional weaponry because of the story the prostate war and how much you got destroyed in the iran iraq war the only exception we him being there ballistic me silas i think what we have seen is that even under de arms embargo iran has been able to still develop for it a large extent and its own committee when it comes to look at least as or drones so i dont think that will really change massively when it comes to it they your inability to access the weaponry and to the media by other countries normally russia and china policy did a picture that is still going to will be a very complicated for geopolitical reasons economic reasons you name it i dont think its not going to be as simple as that ok so you notice its a warning of sanctions if weapons sales go ahead with iran as this. Expires do you think the threat will be realised. Well i think that threat to all of you ron being able to access weaponry is something that the european and other countries are also concerned about i think in the media so i dont see that happening very quickly i think for time being there is going to be a wait and see approach definitely up until the u. S. Election so there is a thats it is something in a rainy on a mindset about waiting to see whats going to happen in the u. S. And whether there really is room for maneuver in terms of negotiation and opening the door on that front just so it would not make sense a tool kind of provoke going into the direction of foxs seen work rate which is no money takes a long time anyways and so even in that case also previous for you they say for russia it took nearly a decade for iran for instance what is add on s. 300. 00. System or defense in any sound system so i dont think its something that we should consider is massively changing this you know it for the time being. Able to produce a great to get your perspective this do appreciate that thanks very much and thank you for that passion now thousands of protesters have gathered in paris over the killing of a teacher on friday lets look at the scene in the middle of the capital there are similar rallies taking place across the country in a show of solidarity at the school where the teacher is believed to have received multiple threats after he showed a controversial image of the Prophet Muhammad in a lesson about freedom of expression expression the suspect was shot dead but 9 people on in custody lets speak to you have to do at the whos head of the justice and liberties for all committee and joins us now from paris yes so welcome to the program you well understand the challenges in front you grew up there you grew up in the band youre in the suburbs.

Well 1st what money what about courses islam is in crisis maybe in secret because being bombed all over the globe and its people are exploited by western powers no of course not any religion in this modern iran is undergoing tremendous pressure because you have the teachings and you how would people experience in their daily lives but for him anyway mccall to come as a head of a secular republic and dead muslims or your religion is in crisis how come we did not go to the catholics and tell them youre catholic that in christ because of paedophilia and the grip of the Catholic Church unbeliever is it is not on the french president to ted believe there is a word there when is a boat and not about now of course i go back to the topic right now and this is a again a blow to French Society and we do not know how extremists on both sides of the aisle were going to take advantage of it defy right now there are the conservatives are already calling for him and shut down any mosque that does not condemn this attack as if muslims were somehow responsible and embodied mccall is going to use that to result vantage of without mentioning hes hes governments figure in not again making this prevent a border where are all of these laws against terrorism they must surveillance we have been living under how use for are they we look at all of our coke communications are under tremendous scrutiny by the french state and yet if this happened again after market for days again ductwork teachers name has been dragged into the mud for multiport days on social media so what is this government doing with all the repressive tour they have been calling for in which they have obtained ok beyond the issue the important issue of intelligence and as you have not as you can understand the anger revulsion of the killing of this teacher where does one look for the reconciliation required to ease these tensions in front.

Right now polls have closed for the president ial run off in the self declared republic of Northern Cyprus the Prime Minister who is backed by turkey now says ballots in nicosia on sunday morning hes running against the incumbent president. Who favors reunification with the south cyprus has been divided since the early 1970 s. And the vote could decide if Northern Cyprus gained control of its own affairs orleans or towards turkish so lets take this on lets bring to ahmed so the news the chairman of the department of science and International Relations at the Eastern Mediterranean University Joins us now from. Welcome to the program tell us more about whats at stake here by voting for either man what future have people voted for. Well as you know the president ial election in the Northern Cyprus is important in the sense that. We had elected not the executive but we are electing the chief negotiator for the Turkish Cypriots in the cyprus peace talks since we have a parliamentary system the president is not the head of the executive but historically he is going to be the chief negotiator for the upcoming peace talks what is at stake in this very election is that now that our 2 candidates in the 2nd round where one is supporting. A solution based on years along you when set point out if there is a which is there by its own i would buy equipment all for the nation to be estopped nish with the Greek Cypriots after the. Successful conclusion of negotiations on the other hand we have another candidate who is saying that the federal based solution is that and dirty and that we should look for alternative solution methods in cyprus and he is mostly supporting a 2 state solution in cyprus not ok the unification so drastically different visions of the future so what can we glean from the results of the 1st round and how close do you think this is likely to be. Well the 2 candidates in fact very close results in the 1st round one about 32 percent the other 129 something percent and im expecting the 2nd round to be a get a very close. Results there wont be a huge margin between the 2 candidates so it seems like that there will be a kind of us split a kind of pull out ization in this society between those who support a u. N. Support to fund it all solution and those who are saying that we shouldnt lose time on for that all solution we should look for alternative solutions but at the endo today as you know the u. N. Secretary general called for a 5 part. Informal meeting that would include the 2 c. P. Out sites as well as the 3 got on to our powers that is turkey greets and United Kingdom after this election and. Whoever is elected in north cyprus needs to work with turkey he needs to acquire going to it with turkey and in that sense whoever is elected i dont think that will be a a dramatic change when it comes to coordinating with turkey whichever way this goes this is a seminal important moment but will it put an end to the the difficult on unsettling times of the past. I dont think so i think that the splits or the polarization is real and it is with us simply during the election campaigns tensions rise very high but at the end of the day after the election we need a a pity you know in order modernization where we take stock of things on the ground. And reestablish a sense of democracy and participation and inclusiveness at the end of the day as i said when we go to the negotiations its not going to be just speaking to one point but it will be basically a dialogue and some sort of mutual concessions all on both sides and if you if we want to seoul with cyprus problem which i thing is is very important because i believe that seoul being the cyprus problem can also play a tribute to role a key role in resolving the remaining conflicts in the east that in mediterranean which we have seen tensions rising in the recent history important times appreciate your analysis thanks very much indeed pleasure to be here.

Thousands in chile are marking one years since the beginning of a protest movement calling for social change as a record live pictures from santiago the demonstrators demanding a new constitution and a more equal society not in america and its only see in human reports now from santiago on the continuing push for progress. A small 30 pisot increase in the metro fare was the detonator of a social explosion last year that has rocked latin americas most stable democracy ever since. 24 year old similar medius was one of the students that rushed this entangle metro station last october 18th in the law and uncle as the saying goes it wasnt the 30 pesos with the 30 years of unfulfilled promises clearly there was a before and after october 18th chile has never been the same the rules of the game have been totally modified in what way innocently in the sense as citizens have empowered and took over public spaces to demand their rights that had never happened thats why its been a citizens revolution. The initial revolt was followed by riots and looting small but violent radical groups destroyed millions of dollars worth of property the mainly Peaceful Demonstrations lasted until march when the pandemic began despite widespread human rights abuses on the part of security forces. But most of all the social explosion as its called here unmasked a deep rooted discontent and anger over social inequality privilege and exclusion and it was supposed to be a latin american oasis this girl is one of many that illustrates what was a major disruption in tilly and society that is still unfolding and it has the potential to significantly alter this countrys social economic and that. As a result of the uprising the political establishment agreed to a key demand a new constitution that will presumably guarantee basic social rights like Education Health and decent pensions my feeling is that the process. Server sorts of political elites trying to empathize and connect with them. What we still dont know if if that connection. Will be able to channel back into the situation we are. Next sunday chile will hold a referendum that is widely expected to approve the rewriting of the constitution. With the countrys Democratic Institutions so discredited for so many people theres no guarantee that the genie can be put back in the bottle. You see human aljazeera santiago. U. S.
