incumbent alpha condé has been in power since 2010 and leads the rally for the good name people party condi is backed by his 1000000 ethnic group but there have been mass protests over the constitutional amendment which allowed him to run for a 3rd term dozens were killed in a security crackdown his main rival is jello who is running against him for the 1st time he leads the union of democratic forces of guinea and his own support base is drawn from the largest ethnic group the full lani chalo was a former prime minister under lansana conte in the early to thousands let's get more now from nicolas sarkozy monitoring events from the car neighboring sagal and obviously was speaking about there being months of unrest in the country and violence during campaigning what do we know about the the situation right now in guinea is it calm. well it's been an exceptional day

of voting despite this divisive campaign where we saw candidates really trying to pit guineans against each other along ethnic lines there was a big turnout during the vote whilst there are some that were able to vote either in neighboring countries like here in senegal where there's more than 3000000 guineans migrants living here who are prevented from voting right there because they didn't have the voter cards despite all of that many people came out to vote most of them are 1st time voters so big turnout and a peaceful so far election now it's during the counting that's happening now that perhaps trouble lies ahead we know already that the opposition says that if a is. is is is seen as the front runner the winner that they won't even accept results there's also the the f.n. d.c. the front for the for the for the national defense of the constitution has been protesting over the course of the years the these are members of civil society as

well as the opposition they wanted to protest on friday well they've announced today that if i can say is seen as the front runner then they will not accept the election results well what about would mean that there would be perhaps more violence on the streets and the un office for the prevention of genocide is concerned about about all of this over the course of the year we've seen 90 people killed most of the security forces targeting ethnic full lonnie's most of them support opposition leader. really tense situation from now on doing the counting until the election results will be announced and we know that each candidate want to call out the vote for themselves as soon as possible as soon as they get a sense of the results obviously there she is right now nicholas is that being more violence how have rival candidates and parties trying to exploit. sensitive ethnic divisions. that's right mary and it's really

a sense of really exploiting grievances but it's all for some analyst a smokescreen this this division between ethnic and i think well there's a lot more to it there's a lot of intermarriage is it's a multiethnic country there are other ethnic groups in guinea there's a susu there are other there are other ethnic groups at play here but this for for analysts is a smokescreen to what really is that stake in that this incredibly wealthy country more than 25000000000 tons of bauxite is believed to be on the ground in guinea making it the largest reserve of this very precious mineral that's used in fossil fuel in and type of technologies there's also untapped reserves of diamond of gold of minerals that have yet to be tapped we know that multinational companies the australian rio tinto and result are trying to play up to the politicians to try

to grab a greater piece of the pile of this wealth in guinea guinea so at stake is the control of these minerals now politicians have been accused of corruption which at stake for the guinea ends is to see that wealth transmitted to ordinary guineans most of whom live under the poverty line 20 percent in extreme poverty so they want to see a greater share of the pie a better sense of opportunities and better economic prospects miriam thanks so much from the current nickel there a nicholas nicholas. well now the head of the u.n. is in azerbaijan to respect a new cease fire which appears to have been broken within hours of it coming into force 3 weeks since fighting flared out of the disputed region of the corn a car back which is internationally recognized as part of as

bodies and did. now dimon we don't know where that is heading we just heard from their budget and he said that they are ready to return some bodies to armenia through this prearranged door. as a budget and said that it has informed the international red cross about it but this statement did not say anything about do soldiers definitely. on the battlefield specially in the areas in these occupied regions around no go no care about the azerbaijani army is pushing forward it has popular support there is a feel that as they are by gen at the moment because of the do every tory again has the upper hand and you have a lot of people here who do support that many would tell you actually that maybe

a ceasefire is not what should happen now and that the army should keep on pressing open it smith is in the capital of armenia he says that there is a willingness for the ceasefire to what. the armenians say they've been pushing for several days now to get this humanitarian ceasefire agreed on and it's taken 2 weeks to get this far it was russia that got the 2 sides to agree to a humanitarian cease fire to the handover the bodies of killed soldiers i don't change prisoners of war wounded soldiers it was never quiet enough along the goal line of contact never peaceful enough for them to be able to for both sides to be able to agree to do this there was an attempt last week on one local attempt to do it on one part of the line of contact but even that failed after a few hours because firing started again so this decision by the there is to hand over the dead bodies of the armenians had already earlier on agreed to some sort of

handover of bodies and prisoners of war is a step forward armenia needs the cease fire to carry on its suffered now 675 armenian ethnic armenian fighters have been killed in the fighting and armenia has lost control of the territory it has held since the end of the war in 1994 this territory between nagorno-karabakh karabakh in azerbaijan is considered the security or buffer zone that the armenians say that's what it is to protect nagorno-karabakh for the last 26 plus years they're supposed to be discussing the status of this territory plus nagorno-karabakh with. nothing's happened in that time has wires about john says it is now moving militarily with the support of turkey to take some of this territory back. oh now tens of thousands of people have marched through the streets of the capital of bella ruse despite a threat by police that firearms would be used against the protesters at least

much here's what's happening further west and east in atlantic big areas of low pressure slowly barreling which means significant rain for portugal then spain and ahead of an induced southerly breeze which is quite warm even for this time of the year a forecast for paris takes you up to $21.00 degrees in a windy suddenly on wednesday the average here is 13 so we're well above the average stock just paris affected most of western europe will be so affected but it really is quiet apart from the bit of cloud that spinning off here as you can see suddenly getting down towards northern libya than most in north africa is much the same we still got showers spreading from ethiopia through south sudan towards west africa and that has recently thrown into the atlantic another potential hurrican but the showers are coming to light and now because the rain is going south and he's focusing so much more now on places like uganda or d.r. congo.

protesters rallied against inequality inadequate pensions health care and education systems demonstrations were put on hold in march because of the coronavirus but protests have resumed over the past week just a month before a constitutional referendum that was a key demand of the demonstrators let's go straight to our latin america editor lucien human she joins us from santiago now and. all those grievances remain the same and they're probably worse now after the impact of covert 1000 on the country . yes they absolutely are and that is why we are seeing massive amounts of people as you can see there who have been marching now for at least the last 2 hours walking towards the. italy plows out more dignity plaza as it's been renamed that's part of the main gathering grounds for protest and i can say i think that there are about at least tens of thousands of people out here i

haven't seen so many people out on the streets since march when a state of emergency was declared because of the pandemic and authorities who had been hoping that the tempers and that they would be eagerness to keep protesting and demanding social reforms in this country had cooled down or are going to be very very disappointed for after seeing what we're seeing right now i mean there are just massive amounts of people not just young people whole families bringing their their children so far riot police have kept a distance we saw them that the armored cars the new vehicles that the government brought to it to do and to disturb interactive crowd control i should say vehicles that they had bought during the pandemic they've been using them oh dear as i speak people are starting to rush in this direction so. at least apparently i spoke too soon. but there are as i say tens of thousands of people here so i don't think that

they're going to be throwing tear gas a lot of credit where we are right now just nearby but anyway they are they are celebrating what was called the social explosion and hopefully things will remain peaceful for at least the time being. all right thanks very much for now trying to get back to a bit later last america at a city seen even reporting to us there from the streets of santiago a protest of a now marking a year since some of the worst on rest there in decades. now bolivians are voting in a high stakes presidential run which was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic the meaning the leading contenders are left wing former economic minister these are saying the centrist former president cost mess up the outcome could have a dramatic impact on the country's democratic future after a national recess. livea erupted in violence late last year when then president a 4th term in a disputed election which has since been a no. well extra security has been deployed across the country ballots at polling

a big plus for believers the microfiche after what happened in the last year when the presidential elections were filled with accusations of fraud of of irregularities people fatted to take to the streets even when i was forced to resign and what came after is an interim administration that inland it offended many people in bolivia mostly indigenous communities we saw an interim president coming into the presidential palace with a valuable i would rather live in flag one indigenous communities. in their country so this elections are happening in a corner and phoenicians was for many of the past ability everything what are left party to power the present and the retiree and rule while 40 others it means that raises them is coming back to what we know right ma is that polls indicate that there is going to be a fuckin ground. saturday night they electro tribune have said that they will suspended a preliminary restart which means that the results are going to take a while to start coming out mostly because of what happened in the last election
