Doctors tell us theyre overwhelmed and authorities have declared a state of emergency in the capital madrid. Also back to base scientists return from a year long study on the polar ice bringing with them some devastating findings the expeditions leader says the arctic is warming fast. Thanks for joining us russia broke it brokered ceasefire in the disputed region of nagornokarabakh has failed to hold as about john and armenia blame each other for breaking the truce and escalating 2 weeks of fierce clashes shelling has killed several civilians and wounded dozens more the conflict between the 2 former soviet republics dates back to the 1990 s. For an evening walk on the streets of ganja azerbaijan 2nd largest city taking comfort in a strained ceasefire. A safe spot that hasnt held following shelling in a residential area of ganja locals describe a night of terror. These were sleeping it was around 2 in the morning we heard an explosion and after that our house blew up it was washing with us that in that he didnt bust you were not wrong fell on my face. I opened my eyes and another rocket hit. I said to myself what is this all i can see was clouds of dust. As if by john also ignored the cease fire releasing this footage of as strikes on alleged i mean in military positions. On the ground the brutality of war strikes time meaning mourners trying to come to terms with the loss of a family member. But. A Prisoner Exchange meant to take place sunday was also part of the ceasefire the leader of the so proclaimed main republic of nagornokarabakh says azerbaijan is not living up to its part of the deal. According to the agreement this process was supposed to take place today with the support of the red cross. There are hundreds of dead bodies lying there and the government is indifferent to that. As a by john says its a mania that is acting in bad faith. Own little shred of logic it seems that the armenian side continues to use the ceasefire to its advantage their attacks on the civilian population of azerbaijan these events were all. Also covered by foreign journalists in our country. Its now been 2 weeks of fighting inflaming old hatreds that decades of negotiations have to put to rest. As in moscow and joins us now from the army will russia tried to get the 2 sides back to the bargaining table that does seem likely at the moment yes this conflict is kind of too close for comfort for russia 1st of all of course its happening in these post soviet countries which russia considers as its sphere of influence but also there have been reports of islamist militants joining the fighting and that is a direct threat to russias National Security and authorities here have said as much in statements in recent days now we know that this ceasefire collapsed after talks between Foreign Ministers so there could be a possibility of talks continuing on a president ial level we know that the armenian president. Has been talking frequently since fighting broke out with. The russian president and we also know that there were talks telephone talks yesterday between the Russian Foreign minister and the Turkish Foreign minister and russia reiterated its kind of readiness to mediate in this conflict so we may see turkey joining the negotiating the bargaining table there on these peace negotiations Going Forward as well but well have to wait and see only just mentioned turkey should have full blown war break out it would almost certainly have brought turkey which supports azerbaijan and russia which has a military with a media how likely is that. I think that would be the worst Case Scenario including for turkey and russia that something that the 2 countries would try to avoid i think at all costs after all the 2. 00 countries have rather close ties theres kind of almost a marriage of convenience between the 2 strongman leaders bridge of taybeh to one in turkey and Vladimir Putin in russia theyve been kind of in defiance of the west in many cases and theyve also been on the posing sides of many conflicts including in syria and in libya so perhaps we could see that happening as well that the 2 sides join the negotiations in this conflict as well what will the solution look like well there have been repeated attempts by the. Oh a C E International organization to kind of come up with a long Term Solution there is a plan in place there that hasnt been implemented however and what that plan kind of sees sees is that armenia would have to give up occupied territories which are officially in azerbaijan there would be a corridor between are about which is ethnically armenian and armenia and in exchange for that theyre going to get kind of guarantees of self rule and perhaps eventually of independence as well but with continuing fighting and the kind of hardening rhetoric that were seeing that becomes more and more difficult of course to implement and this conflict in this region is kind of an emotional issue i think for both armenia and azerbaijan and one that goes to the heart of their National Interests and their National Identities even. Really sure in moscow thank you for the. Back here in europe more and more countries are imposing tough coronavirus restrictions as the continent grapples with rising infection rates spain has the most cases in europe more than 860000 Central Government that has declared a state of emergency in the capital madrid doctors there have told d. W. Theyre preparing for the worst. The lineups continue to get longer in front of moderates health care centers. The workday should already be over for dr mano barrow but shes making time for a quick interview outside her clinic the authorities have banned doctors from talking to the media however she wont be silenced she remembers only too well the disastrous weeks back in march when madrids Health Care System collapsed. Did not get him or do not want to experience that again the government has to do its homework and must keep its promises and more personnel thats the only way well be able to master the situation and protect the population. The number of those testing positive in madrid has been increasing dramatically for weeks but instead of dealing with it the conservative Regional Government got in broiled in a dispute with spains Ruling Center left government.

Their actions are simply negligent and they arent intervening the pandemic has worsened again since the end of july and they are apparently hoping that the problem will go away by itself. Showed up watching these after 1st declining to deal with the accusations now that its deputy minister of health is ready to state his case despite about 10000 people having died so far from the disease in the spanish capital he sees no reason to be selfcritical. So were not magic it is a safe city it has a fantastic Health Care System we already saw that in spring and considering all measures taken we certainly should not disregard the possible social economic consequences for citizens in the last friday the Central Government finally. He imposed a temporary state of emergency in madrid effectively overpowering the Regional Government since then strict rules have been imposed again locals are only allowed to leave the city in exceptional cases the virus would be less destructive if our politicians actually did their job its a sentence that you hear more and more on the streets of madrid people are increasingly tired of a political system in which power games seem more important than pragmatic Crisis Management and they hardly see any sign of improvement.

The countrys most populous state and one with strong cost divisions and conflicts a particularly evident. For many the horrific crime has had the spotlight back on the discrimination and inequality that ballots formerly known as untouchables think its a reality that makes the let them in but to kill anyone little. Jokes not an antique us activist says the attack has underscored how severely oppressed delicate women and other marginalized groups are in india.

And demands to confront the issue of drawing ever note. Of more on this spree and it will be correspondent there are children who filed reports tell us more about the white doll and women are more at risk than others. Well to understand that they need to understand how the costs of to miss and she functions in india its basically a social hierarchy system amongst hindu which dates back problems of theos in which the social status of the person is decided right at their books it categorizes people into 4 different categories and the community which were formerly known as untouchables fall at the very bottom of the system in fact technically they fall out of it even though i doubt even if he was officially abolished in the 1950 s. We do see ca system playing out in many ways even today in different ways for example it does afflict in the loss of opportunities for people coming from that a Community Whether its in the Education System or the professional life or even then that is social isolation and even though this problem exists within albany areas as well very much it does but when it comes to religious and smaller towns this problem is much more pronounced so when it comes to women to leave that of communities they are anyone are able when it comes to a Security Risk or discriminations that women in general but also they do have their costs so it does impose on them which makes them more wonder to blend with them of the seeding end of many such crimes which i carried out from government cuts based on the social hierarchies and the woman status status. And it was so in your report that there have been many protests in the country but what hope is there of preventing these crimes. Well over the past few years there have been many social movements which have come of they have been lead us but the politics of the just so in an entrenched against people from the communities and i dont only mean the social life but even in Public Institutions like the police and so as the explants office on the report mentioned that men especially in smaller towns on the buses and on the Police Station to file a complaint the question wasnt social status and the cost of those matches but over the past few years there have been that at the social movements and there have been many groups which have come up that focus and address the intersections of cost and gender but they also feel that the society as a whole needs to be sensitized. Why are there so few convictions and then rape cases in india as the legislation not adequate well after the bill told them to. Which took place and then even called global attention. The laws which exist how disciplined and well strengthened and if you do have a legislation then act which addresses the problems but also the end crimes which obvious on system but the problem usually arises when it comes to implementation of these acts and these legislations because as i mentioned the politics does which are also playing out very much out in the open and Public Institutions are very much that there is this community so the problem comes when you implement these laws on the ground which are weak. When youre a child very thank you very much for this scientists who spent more than a year studying Climate Change in the arctic have returned to base with alarming findings the german ship house just docked got its own both of them off and off the 389. 00 days drifting through the arctic scientists on board say the ocean is warming and one of ice free summers in just a decade is close look at the historic petition. Its a temblor 2900. 00 the German Research vessel palash then sets out on a historic expedition with hundreds of scientists from 20 countries. Their destination is the polar region there him to gain new insights into our swiftly changing climate. You know told by the ice breaker docked onto a huge ice floe and locks into the ice. The scientists set up their state of the art instruments to money toward the flaws lifecycle from its formation to its credit will destruction at the end of the arctic summer and. The arctic is heating up at a much faster rate than the rest of the world we see a dramatic change we need to understand that process as the arctic is an integral part of the Global Climate system if we dont understand whats happening in the arctic we cant predict the climate an hour later toots thats what were here for we need to collect the data so that we have a Solid Foundation for basing political decisions. From their floating lab the scientists took water samples examined the arctic flora and fauna measured the sea ice and launched weather balloons. All in extreme conditions for months they worked in total darkness at times the temperature dropped to almost minus 40 degree celsius getting supplies through to the researchers was a constant challenge but everything went according to plan until the koran up and then make threaten to undermine the complicated logistics chain. The palash done was forced to temporarily abandon the flow and head to the no vision point of. The corner. We faced huge challenges because of the pandemic we were forced to replan the entire logistics how to replace the crew deliver supplies and refuel the ship we had to complete and we organized the entire process its a unique situation and were happy we found a quick solution or one of the sets of data to. Make at the Flow Research activities were resumed as expected to rise in temperatures gradually melted the ice until in late july the flow finally broke apart. The group scrambled to safety equipment. In the last 12 months they have collected over 100. 00 terabytes of data which will take several years to evaluate but one thing is already clear the polar ice is melting and at an even faster rate than the scie
