and we will deal with climate change the new president reversed a decision in time. to the climate crisis from the big issues of the us elections on al-jazeera. and other humanitarian comes into effect between armenia and azerbaijan it's the 3rd deal in recent weeks. is there a life and also coming up. change comes to chile with most of the votes counted in a referendum the people have chosen to rewrite the constitution. shops close curfews imposed on a state of emergency in place all new measures to stop the spread of covert 19

across europe. and the special sessions on the way in thailand's parliament as a country grapples with weeks of mass anti-government protests. and humanitarian ceasefire has come into effect between as a media it's the 3rd such stalemate in recent weeks to stop the conflict. the 1st to file to hold this truce was mediated by the united states and comes despite heavy fighting on sunday rory challenges in gori i mean you know the border with azerbaijan rory any confidence that this ceasefire might hold. well we're only an hour and well a few minutes into this ceasefire and already the there resized is saying that the

armenians violated the attempts at the ceasefire that has been denied by the armenian side and prime minister nicole passion jaan says the army absolutely will adhere to this one but as we have already said this is attempts number 3 the 1st on the 10th of october mediated by moscow collapsed fairly swiftly and the seconds just over a week ago last barely minutes so we'll have to wait and see what the future is for this ceasefire but of course a cease fire does not mean pace a cease fire is just. in the fighting. that gives the leaders of these countries a chance to perhaps sit down and hash out something more durable but like you say this is the 3rd one so far so both sides are they ready for any kind of last thing

yes. well i mean up until a few days ago you would perhaps a said. it was on balance that the azeri side probably had no real need for a ceasefire because it was advancing on several fronts it was clearing median control out of territories to the south of nagorno-karabakh and pushing up towards the vital latin caro door which links armenia and go on to cairo back but over the last couple of days it seems perhaps like as ery gains have started to slow down perhaps even stopped will be reversed that might level the playing field a bit and me that both sides now have more of a desire for a ceasefire you know donald trump has been claiming this is an easy diplomatic win

saying that peace for nagorno-karabakh peace between these 2 countries wouldn't be difficult to sort out will that's clearly not true because they have been fighting over nagorno-karabakh since the early ninety's and they've been arguing over an obamacare a back it's for a century or more since the birth of both these countries as a nation states and then when they got folded into the into the the soviet union. that these area maximal position is that it wants to take back the entire city of nagorno-karabakh and the surrounding areas that armenia controls that of course is not something that armenia will ever accept as long as it has the military ability to resist states armenia says well ok we would give back the areas around to go in a car back but only if nagorno-karabakh security and ability to self determine is guaranteed and neither side seems willing to budge on those positions at the moment . chalons inglorious and on the bullet with azerbaijan thank you very much.

thousands of celebrated throughout the night in chile as the country voted to change its constitution an overwhelming majority chose to get rid of the current charter which was imposed under the military dictatorship of augusto pinochet but there's still a long journey before a new constitution is put in place a latin america editor lucien human reports from santiago. a massive celebration to mark the end of the last vestige of chile's former military dictatorship. one chorus this family in the same part of santiago that became the epicenter of protests for more than a year. millions of chileans who'd been calling for profound social reforms had demanded a new constitution to replace the one written 40 years ago under the military dictatorship the country dressed in his sunday best 90 year old who looked at our

school when to vote in his working class neighborhood not even concerns about the coronavirus pandemic could keep him at home. i've never had a historic opportunity like this before and never will again it's the 1st time that we get to participate in the creation of a constitution that we can happen in puts in the judicial structure of our country instead of having it imposed i only hope i live to see the new chill a little human. on the other side of town members of the youngest generation of voters or excited about having cast a ballot for the very 1st time this is the 1st institutionalized saints or election that i have ever been convinced it's going to work because. well this is a very important to particularly rely on. when the vote counting began it was clear the chileans by an overwhelming majority had approved the formation of

a constituent assembly whose delegates will be chosen by popular vote and. with gender parity they will ultimately be the ones to draft a new constitution a process that could take 2 years there was never much doubt about which choice chileans would make but now that it's official the chileans will be writing a new constitution the big question is will they have the patience to wait for that change that they've just voted for to take place. upon this is the decision fear it will create false expectations and lead to economic instability which will only fan more social unrest. i'm concerned about the way this is being generated we need change but not so drastically. conservative presidents of us who had hoped for a very different outcome conceded defeat in a conciliatory message to the country. until now the constitution has divided us from today we must all work to give us and that the new constitution is the

great framework community stability in future. it's unlikely that this referendum will put social demands for a more inclusive country on hold but at least for now many of those who lost hope of change in the future feel they have achieved an important victory to see in human al-jazeera santiago. france is reporting its highest number of single day corona virus infections that have been 52000 in the past 24 hours cases that have been on the rise in recent weeks and now they've passed a 1000000 this is affecting many countries in europe the world states like italy and spain put new restrictions in place in the hope of avoiding another full lockdown with a mob or has more. one of a string of protests in italy against pandemic related restrictions demonstrators converged on the government building in rome to denounce

bangkok so with the special session of parliament what is expected to happen. well him on this will last for 2 days today monday then tomorrow tuesday in a sense he's the 1st government forum for both sides of the issue to discuss things since we really saw the spike in the numbers of people coming out to the streets right across thailand specifically and in big numbers here in bangkok and we do know that the leader of the largest opposition part of the party they've come out and reiterated their call that the prime minister step down this is something the prime minister has rejected time and time again what's going to happen over the next 2 days because of the construct because of the way parliament is formed those who support the prime minister both in the house as well as senate he pretty much controls the senate they are going to have more time twice as much time to discuss things on the floor of the parliament but what they're looking to discuss obviously

they'll go through. those who support the prime minister will go through why they enacted the emergency decree then withdrew it how things need to go forward how things need to be safe even they're going to discuss the impact on the on the covert restrictions in the cove in cases here in thailand which are very very low based on the people tens of thousands of people coming out in the streets so we'll see a discussion over the next couple of days there is going to be nothing legally binding coming out of these $22.00 days of special session you know the parliament was supposed to reconvene just next week so this is just kind of been stepped up a week early in largely seen by the prime minister as a move to try to deescalate the situation this is something we've seen over the last couple of days about a week actually a little bit more than a week i should say when we saw that violent confrontation 2 fridays ago and then he's been kind of trying to deescalate and the government's been trying to deescalate the situation on the streets here in thailand and on deescalation a crucial skill of the protesters going to continue with their actions often and
