a virtual certainty. and taiwan's president calls for dialogue with china as a national day speech but warns it should be on equal terms. a cease fire in the disputed region of a go to karabakh is due to take effect in the next hour the deal between armenia and azerbaijan was announced by russia on friday following 10 hours of talks the exchange of prisoners and the bodies of those who've been killed in the conflict hundreds of people have died since fighting flared up at the end of last month. by black in azerbaijan but 1st let's go over to bernard smithies the town of gori in our new near and burn a 10 hours of talks but after 2 weeks of fierce fighting it's still quite a hastily agreed ceasefire one of the armenians saying about.
10:02 am
well clearly 10 hours of talks means there was an awful lot to discuss and clearly these were very difficult talks and we know that armenia's foreign ministers or of minutes he said this morning after the talks that it was a difficult process he says the priority for us was to put an end to what he called this aggression and he said it was unique because johnny actions had support from turkey and our competitors he says in north nagorno-karabakh we're fighting in rather unique conditions armenian millet media locally is calling this a humanitarian ceasefire which is what it is it allows for the transfer of bodies of dead soldiers and the exchange of prisoners of war the challenge is to build on the ceasefire and there will be political calculations being made in yerevan the
10:03 am
armenian capital because this has been this war has been at enormous cost here $360.00 military personnel killed at least that we know of and 19 civilians killed arms there have perhaps been some territorial gains by the military in azerbaijan no discussion yet on what's going to happen there so there are costs the opposition in armenia might take advantage of what's happened they might there might be some criticism of nickell pasha on the prime minister of armenia he has been very popular but this has been a very costly fight for the armenians and they have seen the sort of weaponry that azerbaijan has in turkish support and so they've had a lot of drones and power that's been much stronger than anything armenia us ok that is with reporting that from armenia but at the moment thanks very much that's
10:04 am
going to send him he's live for us and you have like an as that by john silence on the key question is are both sides on the same page here will this cease fire go ahead and will it hold. well laura apparently the shows are on the same day that we've heard a statement from russian foreign minister lauder last night which said the start time for a cease fire which is supposed to happen in less than an hour but i have to say that this fight some some things that we hear from the armenian side or not going to let me say that the truth of the ceasefire is for 72 hours we haven't heard from any bridge on offer shuls about the duration of the ceasefire so we have no idea how long this ceasefire is agreed upon but there is no official statement by the government yet about this but we have been speaking to people who are the civilians
10:05 am
and some similar officials who have been involved in the process and apparently they are also curious to know about the duration of the cease fire because they believe a cease fire is necessary for the exchange of the that soldiers and prisoners and the wounded soldiers but a cease fire that would take up to 72 hours is too long because yes turkey is supporting john in terms of diplomacy and in turkey has some military advisers for a long time for decades and as john and turkish officials have been stating that they are supporting us. until the end but here there is a belief that if there is a 72 hour cease fire this will work for their minions so that they can have more weapons and they can take they can they will have the chance. to attack the areas that. gained control of again and since the morning we are hearing that
10:06 am
from the locos car tire to go to. them many places are still on. under fire and this is also stated by the defense ministry the fire the attacks continued at night and it's still underway i must say that diplomacy talks are in the shade of the fight from both sides against each other but everybody's curious now home alone will the ceasefire last and whether it is really going to be a start of talks because for us our big john armenia must unconditional withdrawal from the territories that they have occupied as per the un resolutions and other international organizations they have put through both of course everything is going to be clear after less than one hour whether there is a real cease fire and how long it is going to last but everybody believes that this is just a temporary cease fire it is that the real truth because they're not there for yet
10:07 am
and as there is believe that 30 years ago when our menus occupied their lands in their terms they didn't have a proper army they didn't have international support they didn't have any weapons and this time they are the ones who are like you and this time they have the chance to get back their lands this is what they believe ok so thanks very much a lot of questions remain one to win that ceasefire is due to come into force. other news now and troops have been ordered into the capital of the days of cale's over last week's parliamentary elections those else have now been declared invalid and the president is promising to resign they also declared a state of emergency which pollens will those on later. reports from best pack. in the early afternoon on friday. to square began filling up with supporters of various opposition parties. presidents are in by june beck all said he will resign

to see many countries in europe experiencing rapid rise in cases and governments do have to take decisive action in order to try and shut down transmission jeffrey is the deputy director for the national center for disease preparedness at columbia university he says the increase in infections is not surprising. with other coronaviruses a lot of other respiratory illnesses we do see a seasonality we see more transmissibility as temperatures go down as humidity goes down it's not clear exactly what's going on here but evidence is pointing in the direction that we may not get quite as much mileage out of the social distancing that we have been in the summertime where temperatures are warmer you can do more outside activities so we have to keep an eye on what's working and what's not working and also not make the assumption that just because it worked the 1st time around it's going to be sufficient the next time it's going to have to be driven by the data and it's going to have to adjust as the conditions within communities
