Germans to stay at home. Was. Easier than voters reward system draw done for decisive Coronavirus Response on course for a red outright majority. Welcome to the program in the last hour a new humanitarian ceasefire has come into effect between armenia and azerbaijan it comes a week off to russia brokered a cease fire which failed to stop the fighting in the disputed nagornokarabakh region which is internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan but is run by Ethnic Armenians it also follows a missile strike on the city of gunja which killed 13 civilians 2 of them babies. Abdelhamid reports now from baquba the capital of as of by john. It was a city asleep when the explosions ripped through the quiet of the night and ganja people here were already on edge their hometown has come under fire several times since the conflict was reignited 3 weeks ago. This attack was the most devastating so far so. Weve been living in fear for days we couldnt sleep at night we hid but that was no use were suffering a lot i wish we were dead but our children would have to live without us we believe in our state and president may god give us back our back. About an hour drive from the disputed region of the corner karabakh that azerbaijan and armenia are fighting over i mean at 1st denied it had the long range capability to hit as far as ganja but then in a statement it said that there were several as Syrian Military assets in and around the city that were legitimate targets here in baquba president ilham called the attack a crime against humanity and revenge will come under battlefield a few hours after the attack in ganja announced his forces which are backed by turkey have taken control of more villages in physically south east of nagornokarabakh one of 7 regions surrounding the un clave occupied by armenia since 1904 many here believe its time to areas return under. Our history is our future and we cant leave this problem to our kids. And we need to help them to my relatives been living in that occupied region and i know how they suffer and theyve been living in the as a refugee for the years here in baquba and so this is we cant leave this problem for the our future future our Generation Next generation we need to resolve it now the capital of nagornokarabakh step on a carrot was hit on friday a few hours before it again attack this was also not the 1st time that civilians came under attack there at least 600 armenian soldiers have lost their lives since september 27th as a vagina hasnt made public the number of losses among its ranks but the toll among civilians is mounting a new humanitarian ceasefire is underway this one brokered by france to u. S. And russia. Has already indicated is only temporary and it will continue its offensive to retake the occupied territories. And al jazeera has been it smith is in the armenian capital yerevan and has more on the new ceasefire this is the 2nd attempt at a ceasefire after armenia has lost ground on the lives of more than 600 armenian fighters as a by john has reclaimed territory but armenia has controlled since the ceasefire 994 this is territory that armenia considers as a security or buffer zone between azerbaijan Nagorno Karabakh and over the last more than 26 years. Of supposed have been negotiating the future of this territory as well as the final status of Nagorno Karabakh azerbaijan will say that after all these years of talks overseen by france russia and the United States theres been no solution to what to do with this seize territory that armenia controls on the go in a car about so azerbaijan with turkish support has been moving militarily to take this land on this enormous pressure on armenia because of the advances azerbaijan has been making to seek some sort of a ceasefire and to move on to negotiations. So lets discuss this now with. A lecturer in the department of war studies at Kings College london does this latest trees have a better chance of succeeding or at least holding for a time than that the russian russian broke a deal which didnt take long to fall apart. Well lets hope so i mean that the good sign is that it should start very soon probably not at the right time in these areas that there isnt the sort of got off to i mean between the agreement on the action are when the cease fire should take place because that usually leaves our space of time where the fighting continues and then sort of the trust in the cease fire im on the other side. Desire to stop fighting is broken so i think there is a possibility this time but at least on humanitarian grounds the ceasefire may hold because there is really a need to take care of the wounded to recover their bodies and these are attacking im john was quite cv year there were many casualties also among children there also casualties on our regular bases on the armenian side in karbala so i think there is also on any and i mean from the right at least we. Apologies for that donatella just a bit of a random order there but yeah you were saying that they ceasefire is desperately needed even if it is just for a short time because just purely on humanitarian grounds to give people a chance to bury the dead and deal with the wounded yes i think its very important even if it is not a fine and cease fire to start with these kind of measures and then hope that the knowledge if you cease fire you know where we tackle more serious questions. Is reached and you know there is a serious sort of commitment on the sides to stop the fight but i think at this moment you know the humanitarian dimension i should take precedence where i seriously how serious is that humanitarian dimension as were mentioning the recovery of bodies what about what do we know about the conditions that people are living in how do they need aid for example. Yes i mean there are a lot of casualties is to her about a 1500 dead there i mean this iteration in many areas of crown of army is very dire i think you know that many people are living you know lot more and you know a lot of destruction you know there isnt linkage with i mean yes i think the matter of surprise is not a problem at the moment but the fact that you know that kind of bodies regularly being bombarded and this city is different not grant has been you know destroyed in many areas so has also our town called. And also which is where im now the city in part of our weve already been bombarded so there is a serious program also on the lawns in many villages enough that are by john long the front year of confrontation so there is there are there are Serious Problems of alt how are you know these religious coming you know crime there are protect them to it is a region that is so desperately in need of peace and in many ways it was a question of when not if this conflict would erupt because its never been resolved is there enough support for peace inside media and as a by john for the leadership to be able to make the necessary compromises and concessions. Well i mean from what i hear from what i read on the as a by johnny start there is very little desire to compromise there is a very strong narrative in favor of liberating these cherry trees especially they occupied territories our own kind of our ive i havent heard any sort of serious talk of reaching some kind of compromise and. A lot of their rhetoric is very stringent in favor of a military outcome with this award of turkey on the armenian side of course there is a lot of pressure to reach a negotiated solution because theyre using drain on the ground so that governmental fire of negro russian yohn as i dont have pressure to start all of these are on time to install them also of addition on territory but of course you know all these casualties they incentivize both sides to continue fighting to avenge their suffering and their losses of their loved ones so you enter the sort of cycle of violence where its very very hard you know to draw ensure their populations are going to accept some kind of meaningful ceasefire but at the same time it has become really urgent now so i think that the possibilities are there a casualty is not mounting and also on their by johnnies i act so i think it you know there is a there is a chance that these could actually you know much you realize and i think the populations if they are. Being seem convinced unexplained that this is a base way that theres going to be some meaningful negotiation where there is going to be some compromise also on the armenian side and theyre going to use some of the language ways or regionally inhabited by and by johnnies then you know i think there is an opportunity here as a i always say you know turkey has a very strong role to made to put pressure also and i was at my job to accept a more sort of moderate solution im not just simply are very sort of full glass or motion or full of military or you know outcome im sorry i think i really appreciate your thoughts thank you so much from the wall studies department Kings College domicile a cyclist i thank you. Thank you all want to move on to care guest on now because the new Prime Minister and acting president has promised parliamentary and president ial elections in the next 3 months solder support says freedom from jail early this month during protests the disputed parliamentary elections. Brings us more on the story now from a skank we spoke to the new Prime Minister in action president of kyrgyzstan for the power of a man that 3 weeks ago was serving a live in new jail term for kidnapping a crime that he says he never committed but he recognizes that he is yet to win the trust of many people in this country is their justice is part of that there is a kurd saying that false words travel faster than truth those people who are saying im a bad person that im connected with criminals and negative forces are saying that because they are scared of the truth is that im going to fight against these corrupted schemes and i can see in the next 3 months there will be a lot of changes there will be president ial and parliamentary elections i will prove nothing by words but by real interventions that we are going to change and provide open and Transparent Elections will Fair Elections depend not only on the Central Election Committee but on the corrupted interest of president or Prime Ministers of the past we are looking for new ways to break this institutionalized corrupted system we will fight against those who buy or sell the votes new legislation we are pushing forward might put violators behind bars for 2 years we are looking at amending the laws everything starts from the top so its important that high officials are not corrupt to power says that he will punish anybody that he says hes holding back kyrgyzstan or his path to democracy the countrys democratic progress hangs in the balance. Youre watching the news hour live from london still ahead tributes in france for a teacher described as caring and professional who was beheaded after showing cartoons of the prophet mohammed. And tie protesters defy a government crackdown and a transport shutdown with tens of thousands of them marching against the point that its. The law. Well its exactly a year ago that to protest movement started against the political elite in lebanon which sent shock waves through the nation since then the country has seen 2 governments an economic crisis and a devastating explosion in beirut or now tens of thousands of protesters have been back out on the streets marking the start of those antigovernment protests but as a new holder reports to us now from beirut a still no sign of reform to spite the nations crisis. The determination to fight for political change is still alive. Its been here since what some lebanese call a revolution was born. Somewhere and as our says she hasnt left the streets Economic Hardship was what triggered nationwide protests it turned into a revolt against what many call a corrupt ruling elite that has been in power for decades. Were not going to stop before. These people in power just leave and so we will make sure basically that the. So we we do this change and push dung to resign in any way because we will not go back to before up to over 70 in the leaderless and Spontaneous Movement was a turning point in lebanons history sects came together in this divided society and for the 1st time people rose up against their leaders in traditional strongholds but the numbers werent enough they were up against the sectarian based power sharing system this bridge one of the capitals main arteries came to symbolize the battle it is near the square where our tents were burned because we want to literally bunnies together theres a poll that 70. Is a way to connect everyone together the bridge was a frontline between those calling for change and supporters of security and parties protecting the status quo. The largely Peaceful Movement face a counter revolution the ruling elite called the protesters foreign agents Security Forces clamp down hard on gatherings they made arrests and there was intimidation i was called in the effort to occasion this is one of their ways to put that evolution in their thinking scared i think to find whatever goes with saying they dont. Meanwhile the economy continues to collapse people are hungry and more sink into poverty politicians who have blamed each other for the crisis are promising much needed reforms but they 1st need to agree on a new cabinet the government resigned after the explosion of beirut ports in august that killed 200 people it was blamed on negligence by officials. There is no conscience there is no responsibility there is no accountability and as you can see now life continues on for them and theyre back to their old ways as if none of us exist that is why people have returned to the streets they insist on being heard their peaceful resistance wasnt able to remove those entrenched in power but they are keeping the resistance a life sentence for their beirut. Joining us now is mark dalla professor of communications from the American University of beirut has been involved in the lebanese protests and as we hearing in zain is report there a year of protests against the countrys ruling elite the establishment all the protest as being heard. I think they are and that he is and that is is because the entire political system is crippled they couldnt sustain 2 governments and less than a year and the 3rd one is totally blocked from being created in addition theres a lot of international pressure. Lebannon especially with repeated visits from president micro and other International Delegations putting even more pressure on the current president and parliament to move things forward and get that he forms done to try and save this country unfortunately unfortunately what the situation holds for us is still a big unknown because the local politicians are so. Maintaining their seats even at the expense of the health and safety of all of the live in these population and in addition to that theyre constantly forcing new measures that are making life even more difficult for lebanese weve had several catastrophes from unmitigated forest fires that have scorched lebannon covert that evolution the shutdown of the Banking System now there is a total kept in control on cash withdrawals from the bank and finally the massive explosion whats happening in lebanon as i think those in power are running out of got us to the fees too had their population what does that mean for the protests and then obviously you have this system thats been in place for a long time and those entrenched interests but does the does the protest movement need to evolve into something more established itself a coalition of quipped. Yes it is actually taking that form when they protest movement this big and this massive across the country has been ongoing for a year and were already. Commemorating the 1st year of all those protest movements and the momentums behind that i think that is coalescing into more political groups a more mature political discussion and suddenly that Mass Movement is turning into a solid political Opposition Centered around values coalitions of different parties resigned members of parliament and other politicians judges and ambassadors who have left the Government Service and are joining the ranks of those people and suddenly the Mass Movement is getting more leadership more people with skills of running the government and basically those people are becoming the official opposition all International Delegations started meeting the opposition instead of considering them street crossers protesters theyre being asked what is your solution for this country and were starting to find answers i think in the coming weeks and months lebanon will be split between the regime and the opposition and that opposition will be supported by the street that has been protesting for a year. Do you think in 5 years from now well look back on this as a historical turning point in the country or or would it be jest status quo politics and a protest movement that was that had momentum at one time and then and then died out. I believe this is massively changing Lebanese Society to a large extent specially since all the current leaders are late and their age they have lost credibility they have destroyed the economy and they are massively incompetent so i believe the war generation the warlord leaders and their mafia friends have run out of bullets to shoot at the population and currently the massive movements all across have been distinct in being very used very engaging and very active on social media in addition the principles of their choice of being citizens which is refusing the sectarian system and speaking their open unions in the face of all those politicians i think this is a must so systematic change its a new paradigm of how we want to run the country as citizens and what type of leaders do we want and what type of Political Parties we would create in 5 years this will be a different country without the warlords marked out professor of communication of the american us if they were thank you pleasure now french prosecutors are
