Across europe. And the special sessions on the way in Thailands Parliament as a country grapples with weeks of mass antigovernment protests. And humanitarian ceasefire has come into effect between as a media its the 3rd such stalemate in recent weeks to stop the conflict. The 1st to file to hold this truce was mediated by the United States and comes despite heavy fighting on sunday rory challenges in gori i mean you know the border with azerbaijan rory any confidence that this ceasefire might hold. Well were only an hour and well a few minutes into this ceasefire and already the there resized is saying that the armenians violated the attempts at the ceasefire that has been denied by the armenian side and Prime Minister nicole passion jaan says the army absolutely will adhere to this one but as we have already said this is attempts number 3 the 1st on the 10th of october mediated by moscow collapsed fairly swiftly and the seconds just over a week ago last barely minutes so well have to wait and see what the future is for this ceasefire but of course a cease fire does not mean pace a cease fire is just. In the fighting. That gives the leaders of these countries a chance to perhaps sit down and hash out something more durable but like you say this is the 3rd one so far so both sides are they ready for any kind of last thing yes. Well i mean up until a few days ago you would perhaps a said. It was on balance that the azeri side probably had no real need for a ceasefire because it was advancing on several fronts it was clearing median control out of territories to the south of nagornokarabakh and pushing up towards the vital latin caro door which links armenia and go on to cairo back but over the last couple of days it seems perhaps like as ery gains have started to slow down perhaps even stopped will be reversed that might level the Playing Field a bit and me that both sides now have more of a desire for a ceasefire you know donald trump has been claiming this is an easy diplomatic win saying that peace for nagornokarabakh peace between these 2 countries wouldnt be difficult to sort out will thats clearly not true because they have been fighting over nagornokarabakh since the early ninetys and theyve been arguing over an obamacare a back its for a century or more since the birth of both these countries as a nation states and then when they got folded into the into the the soviet union. That these area maximal position is that it wants to take back the entire city of nagornokarabakh and the surrounding areas that armenia controls that of course is not something that armenia will ever accept as long as it has the military ability to resist states armenia says well ok we would give back the areas around to go in a car back but only if nagornokarabakh security and ability to self determine is guaranteed and neither side seems willing to budge on those positions at the moment. Chalons inglorious and on the bullet with azerbaijan thank you very much. Thousands of celebrated throughout the night in chile as the country voted to change its constitution an overwhelming majority chose to get rid of the current charter which was imposed under the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet but theres still a long journey before a new constitution is put in place a latin america editor lucien human reports from santiago.

One chorus this family in the same part of santiago that became the epicenter of protests for more than a year.

Ive never had a historic opportunity like this before and never will again its the 1st time that we get to participate in the creation of a constitution that we can happen in puts in the judicial structure of our country instead of having it imposed i only hope i live to see the new chill a little human.

With gender parity they will ultimately be the ones to draft a new constitution a process that could take 2 years there was never much doubt about which choice chileans would make but now that its official the chileans will be writing a new constitution the big question is will they have the patience to wait for that change that theyve just voted for to take place. Upon this is the decision fear it will create false expectations and lead to economic instability which will only fan more social unrest. Im concerned about the way this is being generated we need change but not so drastically. Conservative president s of us who had hoped for a very different outcome conceded defeat in a conciliatory message to the country. Until now the constitution has divided us from today we must all work to give us and that the new constitution is the great Framework Community stability in future.

Well him on this will last for 2 days today monday then tomorrow tuesday in a sense hes the 1st Government Forum for both sides of the issue to discuss things since we really saw the spike in the numbers of people coming out to the streets right across thailand specifically and in big numbers here in bangkok and we do know that the leader of the largest opposition part of the party theyve come out and reiterated their call that the Prime Minister step down this is something the Prime Minister has rejected time and time again whats going to happen over the next 2 days because of the construct because of the way parliament is formed those who support the Prime Minister both in the house as well as senate he pretty much controls the senate they are going to have more time twice as much time to discuss things on the floor of the parliament but what theyre looking to discuss obviously theyll go through. Those who support the Prime Minister will go through why they enacted the emergency decree then withdrew it how things need to go forward how things need to be safe even theyre going to discuss the impact on the on the covert restrictions in the cove in cases here in thailand which are very very low based on the people tens of thousands of people coming out in the streets so well see a discussion over the next couple of days there is going to be nothing legally binding coming out of these 22. 00 days of special session you know the parliament was supposed to reconvene just next week so this is just kind of been stepped up a week early in largely seen by the Prime Minister as a move to try to deescalate the situation this is something weve seen over the last couple of days about a week actually a little bit more than a week i should say when we saw that violent confrontation 2 fridays ago and then hes been kind of trying to deescalate and the governments been trying to deescalate the situation on the streets here in thailand and on deescalation a crucial skill of the protesters going to continue with their actions often and you think. They will yes theyve already announced that they are going to have a march to the German Embassy here in bangkok now this is quite interesting this goes you know weve been talking about the bam asking for the calling for the Prime Minister to resign one of the other issues that theyve been focused on these protesters is reform within the monarchy you know very taboo subject here its been broached and its been actually intensifying over these last several weeks why theyre doing that this afternoon theyre going to stage a protest in front of the German Embassy but its not its more of a rally i guess because what theyre going to do is deliver a letter to the german ambassador asking for. Suggesting investigation into the kings. Use of his power inside germany he spends most of his time this year he spent most of his time in germany not in thailand and he spent a lot of time over the years in germany so the protesters are asking german officials to look into it that broke any laws as far as how he was exerting power in thailand from german soil. And called thank you very much better recent Opposition Leader to kind of is calling for a nationwide strike on monday off to the president again refused to step down while 900000 people rallied for the 11th week in a row on sunday demanding the resignation of alexander lukashenko.

Organizers say more than 100000 people were out banging drums chanting strike and long live ballerinas many of them were strongly unfortunately i think that lukashenko will not accept the ultimatum he lives in his own world he thinks that many people support him and that were all wrong that were drug addicts prostitutes and vandals but were just peaceful he cannot understand it yet we are afraid of what will happen next week we will go on strike. But this is the 11th straight weekend of protests and its the disputed election in august.
