the. storytelling the biggest issues but have to do with it. bought a mission to win the fight scene of a new go in a car maybe and then sit by john have just agreed on a cease fire. and i mean clearly this is out 0 a line from the holster coming up in the program. the state of emergency declared in keg stands capital after days of protests and prison breaks over elections now declared invalid. the 2nd presidential debate between joel donald trump and joe biden is cancelled off trump refuses to have it surely. a year it

struggles to stop the spread of coronaviruses the number of infections worldwide hits a new record. so we begin with breaking news coming out of moscow in the policy minutes it's been announced that all media and azerbaijan have agreed a cease fire have been to go to karabakh the announcement was made by the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov to 10 hours of talks so let's go straight to alexandra so genevieve she got fried who's life for us in moscow and alexandra said yes after several hours of talks we seem to have progress. yes indeed it is far past midnight here in moscow and after more than 10 hours of talks and negotiations between the behind the closed doors mania and as the debate john has agreed for

a cease fire to cease fire is to start at 0010th of october so now basically and as a lot of said it's a kind of a humanitarian cease fire with the purpose of the exchange of prisoners and other people that are detained by both sides as well as for handing goward the bodies of the people that have been killed since the 27th of september when this conflict started said this is to be happening on the observation of a red cross he also said that the parties agreed to start substantial negotiations and the he also said that the parties agree that the format of this negotiation is not going to change which i think means that it will stay within the ois see minsk group core chaired by russia france and united states a group that has been established in the ninety's to and to deal regional conflict that has been frozen since then so what is to follow what is for us to see is

whether days a ceasefire is indeed going to happen as agreed if it is really going to come down to the exchange of prisoners and if the parties are really willing to start negotiating and to really return to the negotiating table to solve this decades long conflict the nagorno-karabakh. only done 2 things where we can do for the reporting on how you know suppose you have agreed a cease fire the head of for the talks pull strong to syria full of the russia and eurasia program at the carnegie endowment for international peace and he says the ongoing fighting could turn into a turkey russia a proxy war. and this is a very complex issue for russia and russia has really had some difficulty over the past 2 weeks in trying to get the sides together when previous efforts previous wars have have taken place in previous fighting they've been really able to get to knock heads together and get people in the room within

a couple days but there's been a lot more difficult i think russia was taken by surprise and you're right russia is armenia's ally it has a lot at stake in that alliance and its credibility is at stake but it also is has been keen not to let you know the as a result is get too close to the turks and have turkey increase its influence in the region and it doesn't want to alienate as a reason so it's got a lot on the line and it's been trying to deescalate this this. and this is the 1st indication that we've had today that some of these russian efforts might be working into at least a small extent russia and turkey at our loggerheads in syria they're at loggerheads in libya and there is a real risk that this could become a proxy war troops have been ordered into the capital of coke this time out of days of chaos of last week's parliamentary elections results have not been declared invalid the president is promising to resign but he's also declared a state of emergency amid fears that political rivalries could explode into violence from bishkek his strength to.

become fully know and supporters of various opposition parties. president. said he will resign after a new cap in the. parliament but many protesters who want. the angry with politicians who they accuse of use of corruption and economic mismanagement many want to hold. what they describe as an old gaunt leadership to this for this country and repeal lections but bowing votes. and they are angry with this man southern japan who they say was illegally made prime minister after he too was freed from jail by supporters in the protests. as a full member of parliament but was serving 11 year jail term for kidnapping as opposition supporters of various parties chauncey's in the square a group of his supporters bonce through the crowd of fools and stones will hold and

many people fled. the situation in the square himself said minutes ago it was peaceful that'll change when supporters of the new prime minister. claim in there were clashes. and they've now taken control of the statue on a facility that holds as a mother has a secret little feel for the majority the rest is just one. of supporters insists he is the legitimate prime minister. this video appears to show the moment a gunman tried to assassinate cuba's starnes former president almas back at him by of racist that was only al's be full he appeared for the 1st time in public since being freed from jail by supporters during protests over last week's parliamentary election results. some boy who was jailed last year for corruption was unhurt in the attack the central election committee an old sunday's election results after

widespread vote by the opposition says pro-government parties were most to blame since then kyrgyzstan has descended into chaos. trying to feeling nobody explains anything to us and totally confused by the situation there is a great sense of our sentence here it's been days now and people are afraid i don't want violence. president jeenbekov has declared a state of emergency which will be voted on in an emergency parliamentary session on saturday he says it's necessary to prevent armed confrontation between rival groups many people here say their country is on the brink strafford al jazeera bishkek the 2nd u.s. presidential debate between donald trump and his democratic rival joe biden has been canceled it was scheduled to take place next week let's get very latest from chris and to me he joins us live from new york yes so this much talked about 2nd

debate has now been canceled what's it all about. that's right well the commission for presidential debates had wanted to make this a virtual event after the president tested positive for the corona virus that would have taken place exactly 2 weeks after he tested positive and they had concerns about that the president refused a virtual debate he wanted to push back the date and said joe biden said that he didn't want to push back the debate so at this point the commission has said it's obvious that this is not going to happen because both of the candidates have now scheduled other public events for that night we've got the president trying to convey his health in a sense of strength we know tonight he's actually appearing for the 1st time live on camera on fox news here in the united states this is a conservative news outlet where he is going to be questioned and examined

according to their description of the event by a doctor who is a regular contributor to this network on the other hand we've got joe biden who has been attacked for being weak by the president trying to portray the president as weak for failing to show up to this virtual debate saying that it was because he was afraid to take questions from voters who were going to be contributing to the debate in that way and then we have seen it is going to make an address in front of hundreds from the white house balcony on saturday and then a rally in florida to. yes clearly the president has been eager to get back out on the campaign trail and show that he's healthy and strong. he tested positive on october 1st at this stage he does not yet that we know have have a negative coronavirus test but his doctor did say on thursday that he thought it

was likely that the president would be fully able to reengage with the public and public events by saturday and this event on saturday will be taking place at the white house we know now that guests will be outside on a lawn the president will address them from a balcony we know that guests have been asked to bring and wear masks they will be temperature checks before they enter the event so theoretically the president will be distanced enough for them for it to be safe but his critics are certainly questioning the optics of an event like this given it was after an outdoor event that the president and several other people tested positive for the corona virus we know now that a rally that took place in minnesota earlier in september had 9 people end up positive for the coronavirus 2 of them had to go to the hospital so his critics

are saying that this really does not look good the optics are bad he's downplaying the severity of a virus that has killed more than 210000 americans because as we reported earlier from new york. well with all that as a backdrop the number of new daily corona virus infections worldwide has passed 350000 for the 1st time italy was the 1st country in europe to be hit hard by code 19 it had managed to get its outbreak under control but now the number of new cases is surging again to its highest level since march in fact and it is the same story in france where infection rates are at levels not seen since the start of its outbreak it recorded 20000 new cases on friday alone and spain has now imposed a state of emergency on its capital madrid to try and contain a new wave of infections there and people are barred from leaving the city except for school or for medical reasons

a motto that it was in madrid and says the measures do not amount to a lockdown. today the spanish government has declared these 15 days state of emergency duck down and will affect nearly 5000000 people living in madrid city and 8 other neighboring cities all these people will see how in the next 2 weeks the lives will be limited this is an area has got nothing to do what we saw back in them in march this is not going to be a strict lockdown but people will be see their lives limited people won't be able to leave their homes and lives this is strictly in this area which means going to deduct to going to work going to divide groceries also social gatherings have been limited to in private and public places 2 groups of up to 6 people and the most important is that madrid residents will be able to leave the city they won't be able to exit or people would won't be able to come in so the main target of the spanish government was trying to contain to retain all those patents migrate

residents and not letting them out to go to other regions and spread the corner virus for these reasons and his government has deployed nearly 7000 police officers that will be controlling and monitoring all these movements we already saw road blocks in the exit main exits of madrid in the train station i'd also in madrid in madrid airport. still ahead here around 0 why thousands of protesters in chile are angry and fed up with the government. in wow wow wow wow i'm here believe it there's a real peace prize is awarded we'll tell you who is being on.

holiday we have some really nasty conditions now moving across japan in the form of typhoon chan home slow moving system this one that is the position of the storm at the moment just easing to the southeast of key issue would have oran through that eastern side of honshu as we go on through sas day with some very heavy rain is that it's a slow moving so we are going to see huge amounts of rainfall 200 millimeters of right certainly a possibility for some as we go through the next 24 to 36 alison will lead make its way out into the open waters have warmer in tokyo around 22 degrees brighter skies coming back in at the state try and brought you notice across a good parts of the korean peninsula much of a china looking fine and dry following the stand just cross at the eastern side of china and down into the south china sea just see how those winds moving in for more of a the northeast the direction driving some very wet weather towards central and southern parts of vietnam as say as

a big downpour say recently that little circulation joining up with that northeast the fate of the wind that's going to bring some really heavy downpours further friday sunday looks a possibility of course at least inside of vietnam and heavy rain also maybe into eastern pos of india. but. there are people in the world who want all forms of verification to just go away so we need people fighting against that we are trying to see if it's a fake video may be in syria but in a different time they risk a great deal to find out the truth in very complex situations that include major global play as we've been targeted by cyber attacks from russia they're all dangerous and through this conflict belling kept. the truth from the pope's truth word on 00.

but again you're watching a reminder our top stories this hour and our media and by john have agreed a ceasefire of a new corner karabakh both countries held talks in moscow to stop the worst escalation of fighting over the disputed region. the president of pakistan has declared a state of emergency in a bid to end on rest following disputed parliamentary elections the military has been deployed to the capital bishkek to enforce the measure. the 2nd u.s. presidential debate between donald trump and his democratic rival joe biden has been canceled it was scheduled to take place next week organizers wanted to hold a virtually after truck got coronavirus but the president refused. to

chile where protesters are rallying in central santiago to demand a new constitution and to police brutality i think it has been mounting after a video emerged last week that appears to show a teenage boy falling from a bridge while being chased by police you see in human is that. it's back. to the school bell you hear it last year out of 48 feet past the devastation of the world. by a policeman. that you. know the think that's. going up at that time. i came because things like that cannot continue i'm also here to fight for the changes that chile needs. the presidency must come to get us is the key point is now this number one priority. the security of our citizens is essential for freedom and quality of life of our citizens.

but we need to keep my protest to russia. like if somebody rightly steep that says it's. not my but also just might sneak in the red sea there at the start to get me which makes it legal. for justice make that house with police who are on the border getting tear gas is. really the attorney general told the president that stronger signals needed to be sent following the death threats against the prosecutor who ordered the arrest of the policeman who was accused of attempted murder for throwing a demonstrator over the bridge just that it's basically just that. if. you. like your purse or eat up. so far. that it

won't do that's why. the security forces in nigeria fired tear gas a protest is rallying against police brutality in the capital there was traces broke out across the country after a video circulated last week which appears to show the members of the special anti robbery squad that is saul's killing a man by the police a pledge to reform the units but protesters have called for the unit to be abolished. at least 4 people have been killed and several others injured in the explosion and fuel time foreign lebanon's capital it happened in one of the most densely populated districts in beirut because it's not named the city is still recovering from a massive explosion at the polluted oldest he's killed more than 200 people and injured more than 6000. the swiss government says one of its citizens who was held hostage in mali has been killed by an armed group it's understood they died a month ago but the news is only surface following the release of another group of hostages among them was 75 year old sophie a patron who has returned to

a native france after 4 years in captivity she was welcomed by president emmanuel macro and her family when she landed at a military airport near paris mali an opposition leader it's monday was also among several people released in a prisoner exchange deal between all groups linked to al qaida and mani's go. the african union has lifted its suspension of mali which went into effect after president abraham breaux cockades it was ousted by military leaders in august this comes 3 days after the west african regional bloc i was announced the lifting of sanctions following the military takeover of the citations included border closures and a ban on commercial trade this is nobel peace prize is being awarded to the united nations world food program for its efforts to fight hunger around the globe is also credited for preventing the use of hunger as a weapon of war all diplomatic editor james brains has this report. and so we work

with the people on rehabilitating a limb with what we call him moves in now the head of the world food program david beasley was on a trip to west africa he'd been in bikini a fast so and then was in 2 countries blighted by conflict and hunger when he heard the news i mean this is the 1st time in my life a bit speechless look up to this local legal talk about the most exciting point in time in your life is the nobel peace prize it is because of the the family they're out there in the most difficult complex places on in the world with us war on fleet climate extremes it doesn't matter they're out there and they deserve this award and wow wow wow wow mark it will even before the nobel announcement some of predicted the peace prize might go to the world health organization but that would have been controversial the agency and its head dr ted ross are at the center of

disputes between the u.s. and china with the trumpet ministration pulling its funding instead another part of the u.n. firmly deeply impacted by coded 19 was chosen for its assets to call. for its contribution to bettering conditions for peace in conflict affected areas. and for acting as a driving force in to prevent the use of hunger as a weapon of war and conflict. the world food program has had a major logistical challenge the delivering food this year with large parts of the global shipping and aviation networks closed instead it's had to find alternatives one expert told me w.f. p. is currently probably the largest airline in africa the award goes to the agency

for its work and to all its $17000.00 stone. but executive director david beasley has been a bold and passionate leader repeatedly linking conflict and hunger in his speeches in the u.n. security council but it is worth the job has it's the 1980 s. always gone to an american mr beazley is a former republican governor of south carolina who knows president trump well he's had a difficult year himself contract encoded 19 early in the pandemic but he ends it with the presentation of the award in december recognition of the agency's ever growing workload james al-jazeera of the united nations you are low. hearkened delta has made landfall in in the u.s. state of louisiana there categories 2 storm residents and businesses boarded up windows and some schools and government offices have closed this is the latest in a series of strong hurricanes to strike the northern gulf this year much of the region is still recovering from

a category 4 storm in august the speaker of the u.s. house of representatives wants to introduce legislation that questions whether donald trump is fit for office nancy pelosi said maybe in an altered state in his judgment impaired because of the steroids he's been taken for covert 90 the bill is unlikely to succeed since it needs a majority vote in the republican controlled senate and the support of the vice president now the state of texas has been a republican stronghold for decades the last democratic contender to win the state was jimmy carter back in 1906 but anger against donald trump in the city and suburbs as well as a rising minority population giving democrats a big chance to pull off an upset unofficial reports now from austin texas. the face of texas voters is changing their younger more diverse and that puts what was a solidly republican state in play democrats are spending time and money hoping

that the 2020 presidential election will bring a breakthrough the thing that we're so excited here about at the texas democratic party from a national perspective 3 is when you put texas you don't take control of the white house for a term you take control of the white house for a generation and we think that's worth fighting for a lot of people have been moving to texas a strong economy a growing tech sector cheaper property prices all driving a change in the way the state lukes and that means new voters from 14000004 years ago to more than 16000000 know an increase about the size of the entire state of connecticut it's estimated there somewhere in the region of 2 and a half 1000000 and registered voters in texas the democratic party is trying to track them down and give them a voice believing if they can do that it will fundamentally change the face of politics in texas and by extension the united states recent protests across the country have increased calls for change in america and the nonpartizan group move

texas which registers people to vote says those on the streets see a path to change through the ballot box i think the black lines matter protests that reenergize folks brought them back into the critical importance of voting being in both cynically i think by each match or of our organization we are seeing increases as a direct result of this protest texas went for donald trump in the last election its 2 senators a republican 22 of the 36 congressional seats are filled by republicans statistics which should be a warning to overconfident democrats the emphasis on demographics and even energy in the democratic party typically underestimates the ability of republicans in the state who are still very powerful very well funded and very well placed to mount. counter-response you don't get to just make your play and see how it works. see texas will be a tight race but donald trump is still slightly ahead but that means he has to

spend time money and effort suring up what used to be a safe bet for the republicans and even that may be enough to ensure texas was the election one way or another i don't think al jazeera austin texas no i'm in total part of london's infrastructure but the city's bridges have been facing closures repairs the historic river crossings is showing their age and when they're not functioning property entire areas have been cut off and isolated aside the reports. this is a bridge that leads to nowhere in the leafy london suburbs it's supposed to connect it has become a symbol of political squabbling between local authorities and the government the daily commute resembles an obstacle course with children and parents a bumping into each other over railway lines through on little woods with no social distancing and if it's been raining this is what they face. not

just school children who are affected elderly residents have doctors hospital appointments on the other side of the bridge and simply can't get there they're having to do 2 hour bus journeys of a page 50 pounds for a taxi which had to get to essential services from this 19th century castalian construction. to the $970.00 steel and concrete formation of london bridge behind me it would appear that the city's famous river crossings are in a state of disrepair even london's iconic tower bridge had to close for 2 days recently because of a fault with its floor bridge mechanism now the hours between local and central government authorities still can't figure out over who exactly is responsible for a pairing that the british transport secretary has since launched a task force that he assures will be decisive quick and take steps that will be

good for commuters good for residents and good for business but many remain wary of central government's big promises to repair essential infrastructure the complex and difficult part which is working out how you restore a mid 19th century cost bridge where there aren't really any push to do that has be worked out great cost and with the of the best projects which in the world but you have to then have the money only central government has the money. but they haven't until 2 weeks ago even engage they have met all but that have a call for it but they couldn't in the year get the usable stone are also being blamed the government reduced local authority budgets by up to a 3rd in urban areas that has left its mark on infrastructure all over the country and the pandemic has only worsened matters buried underneath this story is that for the news oh it is in britain and america london whose transport authority has

lost its huge amounts of revenue because of troop 90 radically reducing passage and the truth is only the u.k. national government has the kind of resources are most to deliver and improve this country the many crossings along the river thames are critical to connecting the british capital the question is will the public purse be generous enough to stop. london speech is from falling down. al-jazeera. city this is al jazeera and these are the top stories and our media and as a buddy john have agreed on a ceasefire to go in a car back the countries have been fighting over the disputed region russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov announced a truce in moscow where both sides were meeting alexander geneviève should go for it has more from the.
