A demis eerily on is in ganja you really are they oh our this is not the 1st but the 2nd truce that doesnt seem to be holding what more can you tell us. Well the fighting continues according to what we hear from the front line despite a new cease fire agreement despite International Calls on both sides to to stop what were seeing instead is that once again as i john and armenia are blaming each other for breaching that deal im in gunja as a by john 2nd largest city its home to more than 300000 people a missile leveled several homes here in this residential area on saturday actually before the 2nd the new truce came into effect and as you can see here right behind me these used to be buildings 2 story buildings but they have been reduced to rubble at least 13 people have been killed here according to officials including a teenage girl and a baby and while both amenia and azerbaijan deny targeting civilians we see that search residential areas like this one have increasingly come under shelling even here in gunja which really is far away from the front line but that shows you that civilians here are paying a really heavy price for this war and you will hear it when it comes to Fact Checking this conflict general seem to be struggling with the information coming out of the region do you feel that you have access to the that you want to have. We call and move around here in azerbaijan independently we have been given access and allowed to come here by the authorities in baquba they set up an infrastructure for media for International Journalists to cover this crisis to cover their side of the conflict weve been given or assigned a driver and a contact affiliated to the government they are always with us they join us wherever we go they say its for our own safety and security but of course it limits what we hear and what we see and what we can report on but you have to know that this is not just a conflict on the battlefield its also a war of words and a war of perception. Mania and as a vision has been locked in what is being a sense of be a frozen conflict but do people in gunja now fear that this latest flare up could lead to a long time between the 2 countries. Weve talked to people here in gunja some people would come here and pay respect to those who were killed or they are looking for something in the rubble those people who are visibly still shocked there is pain there is grief but there is also a lot of anger of people here are openly blaming the Armenian Military fatah the 2 civilians they also say they expect their government to retaliate if you add to that the history decades of mistrust between the 2 countries and the firm belief here among the population in azerbaijan that. Is rightfully theirs that it has been rightfully theirs for the pos nearly 30 years then you get the impression that any truth the current truce for example will not turn things into a more peaceful direction any time soon there is also no sign on the political level of backing down and coming to the negotiating table and end this military conflict you leon thanks very much for that update you reporting for us from gunja in azerbaijan. Well lets turn now to some of the other stories making news around the world in thailand prodemocracy protesters have gathered for a 5th day defiance of a government or the and preventing demonstrations authorities meanwhile have imposed curbs on social media including the telegram messaging app which protesters use to coordinate demonstrations. Believe is socialist candidate louis on say is expected to win the countrys president ial election without a runoff ill say hes widely seen as the edge of the countrys long time former president evo morales who resigned and fled the country after last years ballot was enough. Protesters and Police Clashed in chiles capital on sunday as thousands marked the anniversary of last years mass protests Police Deployed water cannon and tear gas to disperse the crowd in santiago the demonstration took place under Strict Police surveillance in an effort to prevent rioting the italian Prime Minister just had to content has announced a package of new coronavirus restrictions and avoiding another complete lockdown conte gave italian mayor is the power to shop public squares from 9 pm on woods to prevent gatherings that might increase the spread of the virus it really hit a new record of infection numbers on sunday with all thora hes reporting more than 11000 new cases country says the situation has become critical but it is government is determined to avoid a repeat of the lockdown imposed at the start of the crisis in march. Im joined now from rome by freelance journalist philip well and philip thanks for joining me one of the latest figures on the spread of the pen to make in italy and which regions are the worst hit. Well they yeah numbers have been rising steadily recently its been hovering around 10000 a day and theyre now going well beyond that and the alarming thing as well is that the presence of the virus is now registered jeff throughout the country nobody which was very badly hit at the start when this pandemic restaurant in europe. Is says suffering again but also served some time yet in the area around naples and even notice up in that area such as sicily and of course was particularly worrying is if the south is badly hit yeah medical services and hospitals are much less well prepared had to have coped with this kind of crisis and of course now saying you power as they if amazed how are italians reacting to the return of frustrations on their lines. Well i think it remains to be seen really because my impression is that a lot of young italians are being met out partying just. As though nothing had happened until very recently and these restrictions. Being imposed by the government have because people arent there doing the right thing of their own accord i think theres a certain amount of concern to him is that he was very well that disciplined in the 1st very tough lockdown the last trusted for 2 months and theres concern now that there may be a kind of. Pandemic 50 and dead people not convinced that its necessary people rebelling against mosques. People just finding it hard to tell their normal normal lives in the way that the government is are asking. So it remains to be seen really how this will hand out how people perceive the situation and whether they go along with a tough line that the government is calling for aid was of course ravaged by that 1st wave we were missing the images coming out of italy at the time at the height of the pandemic has the government learnt lessons in particular when it comes to the Health System. Thats a big question and theres a lot of control a city about it government has provided a lot of extra ventilators in some cases theyre not in position in the hospitals in the regions because the regional authorities said fair fail to. Create new intensive care ward as the government had asked them to do so theres a quite a bit of a blame shifting between the people involved in want as happened and i think italy is certainly better prepared now for this 2nd round buckling against the virus but there are people who say that a lot more could have been done in the summer and things were so there wasnt a sense of urgency that there should have been because in any. Period of troops that the Better Weather provided an taint right fit when it in ron thanks very much. Here is some of the other latest developments in the pandemic global cases have passed 14000000 according to a tally by Johns Hopkins university but experts say the number of infections and deaths may actually be much higher slavonia has declared a 30 day state of emergency after cases almost doubled in the past week other European Countries including austria belgium and switzerland are also tightening restrictions south africas Health Minister and his wife have tested positive for the virus taining at home and palestinian chief negotiator sigh of etiquette is in a Critical Condition in an israeli hospital after his condition worsened he tested positive for the virus earlier this month. As weve just been reporting here in Europe Countries bringing in new restrictions to counter 2nd wave complicating matters is the change in weather with cold and flu season on the way to here in germany this is rollout of the flu injection is serving as a test run for an eventual coronavirus vaccine. The little pinprick that protects against the flu and helps make sure the Health System wont be overwhelmed doctors are worried about a widespread flu outbreak alongside a new wave of covert 19. Flu vaccinations is higher this year than usual. Armed and scared and that means that they are much more willing to get vaccinated. The flu jab is usually recommended for those over 60 pregnant women people with preexisting conditions and medical workers but this year vaccination is available to everyone who wants one. German Health Minister says anyone who wants to have themselves and their children vaccinated should and can do so but if everyone in germany decides to get a flu jab there wont be enough of the vaccine to go round. If we just vaccinate anyone who wants the done its quite possible that the people who really. Needed may not be able to get a vaccine at all in the end would be ethically and medically wrong. To avoid that outcome the Vaccination Commission recommends that high risk patients be vaccinated 1st than the rest of the population germany has never used up all its available vaccines nevertheless this year the flu vaccination will serve as a test run for an eventual corona vaccination. Learn how a covert 1000. 00 Vaccination Program might work from how influenza vaccinations go this year will probably vaccinate the same risk groups 1st will have much less of the vaccine at 1st compared to the influenza vaccine so well probably have to vaccinate gradually starting with those who need it most in this respect you can see the flu vaccine as a kind of test for the population for people for. The state and the medical profession are hoping to learn valuable lessons from this years flu season and how to prioritize future vaccinations. Police in france say they have searched dozens of homes belonging to islamist militants the raids are in connection with last weeks beheading of a teacher in paris samual patty had used cartoons of the muslim Prophet Muhammad to take students about freedom of expression a suspect was shot dead shortly after by police on sunday Police People rather across france took to the streets and pattis memory. Thousands of people came to the plaster lever probably in paris to show their solidarity with slain teacher Samuel Patten it was here where large groups also gathered following the 2015 Charlie Hebdo attacks. But today people want signs saying just we are saying no or i am a teacher. Many came here to grief but also to protest they felt compelled to speak out in support of the teacher and freedom of speech. The level before were here to defend the republic liberty equality for turnitin and secularism but it was not just in paris communities came together across the country to remember the 47 year old teacher. They said secularism must be the Unshakable Foundation of our society but that is what allows us to live together we will not allow it to be attacked. But that. We will continue our work when the school year and classes resume we will return to teach without fear because it is not students who committed this crime but it was a young person who obviously was not a student and failed to understand anything as. The. Party was on his way home from school when he was attacked shortly after police surrounded the suspect and ordered him to drop his weapon. Authorities say they opened fire on the suspect after he attacked police. France is set to hold further National Tributes for the victims in the coming days. For more on this lets bring in data religious Affairs Correspondent martin gak martin this all goes back to a classroom conversation about the freedom of expression just how difficult is freedom of expression in a Multicultural Society i think that episodes like this one show you that to some degree. Multiculturalism and integration are really the key words and as a matter of fact part of the problem that you have is that to some degree the form of multiculturalism that much of europe has been seeing evolve is essentially is essentially incompatible to the 1st of republicanism and freedom of expression that we have become accustomed to particularly in the context of french secularism and french freedom of expression so you know this kind of happy so hes the one that really shows you that there is a form of the mcready understanding that we have developed from the sense that we need to deal with things that offend us and we have community so we turn not just muslim but jewish Christian Communities really just communities in other words that really take off ends to the very limit of political and Public Participation and this is the terry terry that its extremely difficult to negotiate france is officially a secular country and how does that factor into the public discussion surrounding this particular incident. You know with the idea of day the form of security so many its not a perfect translation really but they usually see differ the french has a lot to do with protecting the state from really just seem fluence i mean were in we think of circular reasoning that us what we think of is you know on this stage essentially protecting religion from essentially the force of politics this is somewhat inverted so one of the things that were just here in the report and i think that are actually very important and were going to continue hearing us well go along he said there has to be a defense. Of the basis of secularism through the country precisely because this is the type of politics of violence that you know we have seen in religion through history state east in charge of trying to stop. So french president and i knew my calling is is preparing new legislation on integration does this incident this not it doesnt point to the limits of integration that. Look there is something very particular about the set be sewed and that despite what most are saying does this not necessarily come out of essentially a terrorist organization decidedly began with the parents at the school that were sending messages and build essentially networks of conversation through facebook and twitter and so on asking for something to be done now what these something was supposed to be was not dear but this is not something that came from an organization this something that came to some degree from the community so i think that although micros position had an immediate backlash in terms of expressing the necessity of integrating the Muslim Community into essentially i mean these parts of them were seen community into the body politics of the fringe of the french system i think that this is the kind of episode that will actually essentially bush the conversation 4th one of the political dangers is that these will be actually taken advantage of by very reactionary forces that have had a very strong islam a fall back essentially thrust for the last 23 or 4 years right date emmys religious Affairs Correspondent martin jack thank you. Arwa. But its to the us now where the election is just 15 days away and a Record Number of people have already cast their ballots in early voting but in some areas the large early turnout and some technical glitches have led to long waiting lines and thats funk controversy in states like georgia over whether officials are actively trying to make it harder for some people to vote. Assuming some scum that has moved. Voting its the foundation of any democracy everything is being done to make sure all eligible voters have their say or is that i came here to georgia to find out about something that Voting Rights groups say is a real problem Voter Suppression purposely making it harder for some people to cast their ballot now georgia has a history of keeping africanamericans from the polls activists say it is still happening. Things heated up in 2013 when the Supreme Court gave states the power to change election laws and they no longer have to prove the changes they made did not discriminate. States like these took action that republicans say make sure that no one can vote illegally democrats say they unfairly target minorities they introduced a stricter voter identification last they purged inactive voters from registries and across the south hundreds of polling places close these people manage to get to the voting station but for others who dont have a car to get around in the millions who dont have official i. D. It is difficult the protections can be barriers and they more often affect black and immigrant communities we are in the land of Voter Suppression where the secretary of States Office backed by the legislature embraced by the governor are figuring out how do we stop the demographic change that is happening in georgia. Early voting in this years president ial election people stand in line for hours but is this really Voter Suppression. This idea that theres Voter Suppression going on today is just a myth or a long lived because people are making the mistake of voting early rather than voting on election day when there are many many bore polling places open money a mitchell will be voting early the stationery designer says it took her 4 hours to vote in the primary election in june she fears longer lines on november 3rd and shes not going
