And pope francis appears to leave open the possibility of priests blessing some same sex couples. Now to Nagorno Karabakh which has been left virtually empty of Ethnic Armenians after it came under full azerbaijani control. We have been speaking to a professor of armenian studies. It is so important to hear the story of people you have talked to. If you can tell me once again, you have been speaking to those who have fled Nagorno Karabakh, what are the main problems and issues and fears that people you have been speaking to have right now .

First of all, i think i should tell speaking to have right now . First of all, i think i should tell you speaking to have right now . First of all, i think i should tell you that all, i think i should tell you that i had just returned from the southern part of armenia where all the displaced people are coming from Nagorno Karabakh. I stayed there for about ten days. I simply shared my hotel with them. I shared my hotel with about 150 displaced people, elderly people, children and had the opportunity to talk to them every time i was in my hotel, for breakfast, in the lifts, wherever. A lot of stories they keep telling. The most important thing for them was to sleep and to eat. They were very hungry, imagine after nine months of blockade after having a few days of break at the airport at stepanakert where there was nothing to eat, no water, so they were extremely hungry, extremely exhausted. The first thing they needed was just to sleep and to have food. Even if i watch them eating, you can see how hungry they were. This was incredible, i will never forget the eyes of the children. And of course now they are somehow safe but still they have this fear inside of them. Because they are in armenia and armenia have done everything to welcome them, help them. To help organise their registration and everything but it takes a few days for them to understand what has happened.

There is some hope but they have realised that this is a one way. I think the major problem is that this was a choice, a life choice. Either you go and can live or either you stay and can be killed. It isjust live or either you stay and can be killed. It is just the choice you had to leave your home country, to leave your place, leave your village. There is the hope but i think they are slowly realising how difficult it will be to return. Anyhow, we know that it will be difficult to return. Anyhow, we know that it will be difficult to return.

Kenya says the Un Security Council vote to approve its leading role in an International Security force for haiti holds out hope for the crisis hit caribbean nation. Around a thousand Kenyan Police are expected to lead the force. Kenyas foreign minister, alfred mutua, says the mandate is not only about peace and security, but the political, economic, and social rebuilding of haiti. Haitis Prime Minister, ariel henry, said the Bell Of Liberation had sounded, with hopes that the International Force will be able to subdue the armed gangs that have killed hundreds of people in brutal violence, caused a collapse in public services, and shortages of vital supplies. How ready are the canyons for this job . Well, with more on this, i am joined now by the Program Director for africa at the International Crisis group, murithi mutiga, whos in nairobi.

The problem is this is a fairly unconventional deployment.

But the kenyans need to prepare. One is on the political, we dont have political consensus in haiti. The current Prime Minister is not elected, his legitimacy is open to question so its important you have some political Bridge Building so this is not seen as reinforcing a fairly unpopular Prime Minister. Given the bad history of interventions in the past, the misadventures we have seen in past interventions, they need to be trained up to operationally deployed their best and secondly, on the human rights front, to get locals to buy in, they have to ensure their behaviour is spot on.

But we have to remember there is a long history of pan African Solidarity to the caribbean going back to the Independence Movement in the 1950s and 60s. The Political Class has sold this as an act of solidarity, as a reasonable step to help the people of haiti, but if there are casualties, if this turns out to be a difficult and dragged out to be a difficult and dragged out deployment, then the public could turn sour.
