a state of emergency in kyrgyzstan the capital following to speak to the elections is due to meet to find a way forward to. a cease fire in the disputed region of the go to karabakh has come into force possible mania and azerbaijan are accusing each other of carrying out attacks just before the truce the deal was announced by russia on friday following 10 hours of talks in limbo of the exchange of prisoners and the bodies of those killed in the conflict hundreds of people have died since fighting flared up at the end of last. summer to azerbaijan with reaction to the cease fire announcement. so far we have no official statements about the exact shape of this joint statement that was the carried by love robots i must say that since the morning i have been speaking to civilians around me and i have been speaking to some people in baku this is also

a kind of this appointment because they believe that if there is an immediate truce between the 2 because they said 30 years ago when our minion forces o'keeffe by the our lands we were weak we didn't have a proper army we didn't how weapons and we didn't have any international support and for the 1st time in the history time is on our side our army is strong and we have the upper hand in the battle so we have to go further this is what many of the civilians say as they have been lots of military casualties from both sides are many a has been reporting there and military casualties we haven't ever heard from azerbaijan say as a ridge on side with their home in a soldiers were killed or wounded but we know that there are many this is what we have been hearing from other civilians and that's why they are also anxious to see the result of this of this temporary truce because they believe that this is going to give time for our mania to back up more weaponry and to to gether its more to

asia and get stronger and that's why they want to go further but of course this is up to diplomacy talks we don't know what they were exactly talked in moscow this is this is one of the most important things what we see as a joint statement is something vague in a way but as messages in the armenian town of doris with more on how the talks unfolded. we know that. foreign minister. 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 our actions had support from turkey and our competitors he says in normal nagorno-karabakh we're fighting in rather unique conditions armenian 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 armenian capital because this has been this war has been at enormous cost here 360 military personnel killed at least that we know of a 19 civilians killed and to have perhaps been some territorial gains by the military in azerbaijan no discussion yet on what is going to happen so there are costs the opposition in armenia might take advantage of what's happened they might there might be some criticism of nicole 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 . turkish support and so they've had

a lot of drones and power that's been much stronger than anything armenia us. taiwan's president says he's willing to hold talks with china if they're on an equal basis speaking at national day celebrations sign open to meaningful dialogue with beijing and hopes resultant sins can be resolved peacefully that speech comes at a time of increased tension with china. activity near the island in the past few weeks they've been angered by growing u.s. support for the self-governed country. so you know if you don't. watch as long as the beijing authorities are willing to solve and how can isms and improve cost rates relations parity and dignity are maintained we're willing to work together to facilitate meaningful dialogue we are committed to up holding regional stability but this is not something taiwan can show to alone it is the joint responsibility of both sides. find gold is

a political risk analyst and he joins us via skype from taipei good to have you with us one of the key details of size speech here was talks on an equal basis can you explain what that means and whether it's something that beijing is likely to accept. well for the taiwan government in the people of taiwan they don't want to be treated as if they are a constituent part of the people's republic of china a local level government they don't want to have negotiations under the framework that is demanded by china which was a framework that this government which was 1st elected in 2016 has rejected it even though the previous government that was in power from 20022016 had accepted that but the people of taiwan voted clearly in 20162020 in support of this government's policies with regard to china and that brings us to the 2nd question china is not

going to accept any concept or framework that taiwan proposes which is not identical to what china wants. as as nice as it sounds for president side to say that we want parity and it might sound very reasonable to those of us outside the region for china's leadership there really isn't much room to deviate from their stated position i'd cycle so if i had to seize promise to the united nations general assembly in his speech to never seek head to my knee i how would you interpret that because beijing of course consensus taiwan is an integral part of chinese territory. well the interesting thing about that reference who is the intended audience was it intended for the people of taiwan and for the government in china and other governments in evasion noted only taiwan's most important security partner which is the united states again i see your one sentence

or a few words in the speech are not going to really change anything that china does. with military exercises or insisting on taiwan accepting that it has a a local government kind of status and it's not an independent country so you're reminding the chinese leadership of what's human being said in his u.n. speech might sound good in this speech today but ultimately it's not going to be any effect on how relations are conducted by china going forward so if it was directed more towards the u.s. 2 things side looking towards a potential change in the white house and if there is a joe biden president might that bring a change in the current situation across the straits well there are certainly a worry here in taiwan that obama style policies would return under a but biden administration which really was to encourage taiwan to talk to china

and to do so under the framework that the chinese government had proposed which again is something that the current government in taiwan has rejected so certainly there is some concern from the taiwan government and i think parts of this speech had that concern in mind it is in trying to position taiwan for how it's going to present itself in front of a new u.s. administration or even if president trump is reelected and so you know the possibility that current policies will continue as well so definitely some strategizing there from the taiwan government ok fine gold will leave that thanks very much to taking time to join us from taipei. now police in hong kong have arrested 9 people suspected of helping pro-democracy activists who attempted to flee to taiwan a dozen activists have been held in the southern city of shenzhen since august when they were intercepted by chinese authorities families held a protest on thursday accusing the police of lying about the circumstances around
