The Nobel Peace Prize for 2022 the World Food Program un agency wins the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize for its global efforts to fight hunger and starvation. Im joined again with the sports and 12 time french open champion rafael nadal closes in on this years final game paris. Hello thanks for joining us we begin in kurdistan and nation gripped by Political Uncertainty so a former president s back says theres been an attempt on his lie. His car was reportedly shot out on the streets of the capital bishkek well the current president sir and by june because of has ordered troops into the capital to enforce a state for emergency theyll enforce a curfew in tight security that will last at least until later this month just hours earlier jim because of dismiss the governments he also said that he will resign but only once a new dates has been set for elections lets bring in Charles Stratford for an update hes joining us from. Gets to the politics in a moment but 1st what is the mood like now that the state of emergency has come into effect. Well weve just had an update actually another indication of the chaos here despite the president announcing the state of emergency a couple of hours ago weve now had a statement come through has been made by the. Parliament saying that parliament has to vote on the state of emergency in order for it to be legal we understand that an emergency session of parliament will be held tomorrow to do exactly that its expected that the state of emergency will be voted for and that emergency session will also include discussions of of the Prime Minister candidates now we already have a Prime Minister in this country somebody who apparently was voted in in a parliamentary session earlier this week. A person who other opposition supporters say was illegitimately voted as pm and as we will inevitably talk about has been causing. So some say some Serious Problems in the capital over the last couple of days but as i say this these mixed messages from from the government. In terms of when this state of emergency starts is just another example of the fact that there doesnt seem to be anybody in full control of this country at the moment you could argue that it is certainly the opposition are putting pressure on the government to follow the kind of legal parameters that this country is proud of setting up in recent years but yeah as i say in the last few days the chaos that weve seen on the streets seems to suggest that all those legal parameters seem to be falling apart so charles no sign then that the crisis is close to being resolved. Absolutely not lets back to the new Prime Minister for example this man power of what we witnessed this evening in the square was in many ways the realisation of the worst fears of a lot of people in this country was voted in as i say in an emergency parliamentary session last week however other opposition groups say that there were not enough m. P. s present at that meeting to make him his vote as being the Prime Minister legitimate now he has said in recent days that there is a Council Revolution being mounted implying against him he says he is the only legitimate president and the seating in the square just before the shooting incident we have no idea of obviously who pulled the trigger of that but certainly there were calle succeeds as groups of his supporters came up from the Prime Ministers building which is just off the square barged into the large crowd of other opposition supporters and basically commandeered control of the stage and there were some scuffles and a lot of the other opposition full opposition supporters fled the square. To power supporters say that he is the man for this country he was freed by them in the chaos immediately after the elections those protests we saw last week he was serving a living year jail sentence for kidnapping he is very popular here with a lot of people especially those living in the countryside hes described as a nationalist leader we strong object nationalist ideas uses a lot of popular is slogans but the big fear as we go forward now and this is one of the reasons why we see the state of emergency we understand being imposed is because of potential clashes between japan supporters and other opposition supporters of other opposition groups so yeah yet again another very worrying evening in bush right thank you for that update from his cock. To moscow now where Foreign Ministers of armenia and azerbaijan are holding talks to resolve the weeks long border conflict over and. Its the latest effort to end the worst flare up in violence between the 2 nations for over a quarter of a century well our media as leaders says he is ready to resume peace talks but the as a repressive it seems to be backing a military solution to the conflict for now sinan kosovo who is live in azerbaijan where the president has just addressed the nation but 1st lets talk to journalist alexander a story out of it should go for it shes live for us in moscow on the russian mediation efforts and heres the thing russia is really walking a tight rope when it comes to these mediation efforts as it has ties to both countries so what role is russia playing and what is the expected outcome of the talks currently taking place. Well it is you said that theyre walking a very thin line here having good relations with voters or media and as a bit john but they think that is actually working in their favor as a mediator and this is what they say they want to do mediate to mediate to ceasefire and back to the negotiating table between armenia and azerbaijan now it is 1st the direct talks between the minister of Foreign Affairs officer john and. With a lot of russian minister of Foreign Affairs as a mediator or facilitator of these stocks theyve been talking. Alone for hour and a half an hour now ahead of the storks what kremlin announced theyre going to be about is actually quite minimalistic the kind of demands or negotiation points if you want and that is basically a cease fire long enough to Exchange Prisoners and colac to the bodies of both sides of people that died since the beginning of this conflict now ahead of this head of the storks the Prime Minister for i mean any question yon a said is that as you say armenia wants to resume the negotiation process but recently he also gave an interview in which he said that i mean youre still thinking about recognizing and what not quite a bar has an independent state and he thing is that if other countries would recognize that could lead to peaceful solution which is something that we know is not acceptable for that azerbaijan. Xandra story and i bet you got for it thank you very much for that update from moscow lets now get an update from sin of course of a goose is joining us from judge if youre thats in azerbaijan where the president had been speaking earlier on what was the takeaway message. Well there in apparently azerbaijan presence and how my lear want to show that he has a strong hand in this conflict. That erupted in september 27 after 30 years in this conflict and it being the week saw it 30 years ago now was our baby john has a proper military army they have the more sophisticated weaponry compared to our many and of the 3 and they have the International Support as the un risa lucians and other International Organizations are on a bridge on side saying that Armenian Forces are or could buyers in the going up and at jason 7 regions basically azerbaijan presents that they dont want blood they dont want war but. The process showed that only military solution can be can solve this problem he made a call to armenia as for Prime Minister nicolas saying that you said a couple of days ago and are going to cut about is many and lend and now are you going to say the same thing in moscow because if you say this if you claim the go no go to bar as an army or soil then we will not come around the table and we will not negotiate basic those are big guns for condition is that. Also based on the International Research International Organizations Armenian Forces withdrawing from the guernica bar and adjacent 7 or a alms as they called regions that have been occupied by Armenian Forces so far there has been some takeovers of some villages in those areas but there is not a full victory for us john but in how my live announced that this is a historical moment and this is a historical victory for us our vigilance history there were a few important things that he said one of them is that there he said theyre talking about start to school i dont i dont are going to. Guys in a status quo theyre talking about conflict line he means the area between the occupied regions and so we destroyed the conflict and theyre talking about new cool tech guys there will be no new content thats basically he said that i have the upper hand and this address to the nation of course really was an address to his own nation trying to prove that their efforts there were warthe it but of course how the diplomatic talks will end this is what we are going to see if we hear a statement from moscow yeah well have to wait and see and we will of course take that statement live if and when it happens for the time being said of course although thank you very much for that updates once more heard on the aljazeera news hour including donald trump looks to get straight back on the campaign trail after his doctor says its safe for him to resume public engagements.

But 1st the United Nations World Food Program has won the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to combat hunger and Food Insecurity around the globe its also been credited for its contribution to bettering conditions for peace in conflict zones and preventing the use of hunger as a weapon of war and conflict the World Food Programs chief David Beasley says the award is an incredible recognition of the u.

I mean this is the 1st time in my life ive been speechless like i mean this is unbelievable talk about the most exciting point in time in your life is the Nobel Peace Prize it is because of the w. T.

P. Lets bring in our diplomatic editor james meigs hes joining us from the United Nations so Firm Recognition of the work the organization does so relevant james amidst conflicts and a pandemic. Yes i have to say before we had the announcement from oslo there were people saying that maybe it was going to be the World Health Organization given the dominance of covert 19 this year that of course would be a very controversial choice right in the middle of that spat between the u. S. And china with the u. S. Pulling out of the w. H. O. Instead its another part of the u. N. Family the w f p that has got the award again. They have a role which involves operating in some of the most troubled some of the poorest parts of the world areas affected by conflict and work that has been so affected by coded 19 this year because they have to deliver food to those that need it all around the world and of course aviation and shipping networks have been disrupted by the pandemic so theyve had a logistical challenge part of the w. S. P. Does all the air transportation for the u. N. Part of the w. P. Called the u. N. Humanitarian air service and im told that right now if you actually look at the number of planes theyre operating or chartering w. S. P. Is probably the Largest Airline in africa this is an award for all their work and all of those who work for the w. S. P. Not for its director general but hes the man who will pick up the award you saw him there David Beasley the executive director always goes to an american and he was appointed in 2017 a former republican governor someone whos known to be close to President Trump and someone who himself got covert 19 early on in the pandemic hes proved himself very forthright and passionate leader i think you saw the comments where he was literally speechless when he 1st discovered this but i suspect youre going to hear some very eloquent words and strong words from him when he picks up the award on december the 10th all right said james thank you very much for that update from the United Nations so why is the world through programs are all so. Just to pick up on some of what james has been saying for months its warned the world is on the verge of a hunger pandemic due to conflict disasters Economic Crises and of course now covert 19 it says the number of people facing hunger could nearly double thats by the end of the year from 149000000 to 270000000 africa is the worst affected 22000000 people suffer Food Shortages in the democratic republic of the congo more than 4000000 in northeast nigeria and 3. 3 people 1000000 people that is in burkina faso here in the middle east 20000000 people are suffering a food crisis in yemen this as lebanon faces its worst ever economic crisis in latin america more than 5000000 venezuelan migrants are experiencing Food Insecurity but due to a shortfall in funding the piece says its hard to make cutbacks to its global food aids lets now bring in young egland hes the secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council council which is a humanitarian Agency Working with displaced people all around the globe he is joining us from oslo thanks very much for your time with us so you of course have partnered with the w a p what is your reaction to this when. Its a great nobel prize for 2020 World Food Program is is totally fundamental to our humanitarian operations around the world is not only the the biggest of of the humanitarian organizations it is also the one providing a lot just very often for the rest of us the air transport the convoy the telecommunications the logistics in general so they play a vital role in now mortality morbidity man nutrition being down in emergencies the humanitarian work that i know well from having course the undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs of the United Nations humanitarian work is much more efficient and effective now than it was say 10 years ago and it is in the large part thanks to the World Food Program rates but with these challenges particularly of this year with the covert pandemic youve just been outlining that there are there are ground logistics there air transport other services have been affected how has that actually impacted your work as well. Well we have 15500 people working in the Norwegian Refugee Council all of these these worst crisis and conflict of the globe where all over africa for example and there we have been experiencing tremendous problems for a long time we couldnt bring people out of the areas of poor or duration. People but now that the World Food Program has gotten their air operations working again we can do that and were scaling up all scaling up World Food Programme and i see were all scaling up because needs are exploding i mean they are doubling the virus is carob by worse its even worse. So sure konami melt down among the poorest among the displaced all over the world tens of millions of people who had a little income before the pandemic has lost their. Most most of these families have cut meals already they are planning to not send the children back. To school because they cannot afford it i mean its its a tremendous crisis and we need the leadership of the World Food Program but we also need to live in a chance to come to our relief with increased funding and how significant is the fact that this is a Nobel Peace Prize that has gone to the World Food Program because were learning time and time again that there is a link between Food Security and security around the world.
