a new leader sworn in last. there will be a smooth transition to accept a troubling issue republicans refused to back down even as u.s. president elect joe biden forges ahead with his transition plans speaking to a number of world leaders. russian peacekeeping troops have been deployed to know going to karabakh after a deal to end 6 weeks of fighting the disputed region is internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan but is controlled by ethnic armenians as there is who spent the day celebrating what's been seen as a win delivering swathes of territory to their country but in neighboring armenia it's been described as a disaster under the deal azerbaijan will keep all its territorial gains including nagorno-karabakh 2nd city shusha armenia must hand over a number of other area. is starting with the care budget region on the in the 15th

and the ad dems region and district 5 days later on december the 1st it will have to hand over the lock in district that includes the important biking corridor which connects nagorno-karabakh to armenia and will remain under armenian control nearly 2000 russian peacekeepers will be deployed along with so-called line of contact in new going to karabakh for at least 5 years. in a moment we'll hear from her in the capital but 1st reports from the capital 5. years in the making other journeys are jubilant after the announcement of a deal to end the conflict in the or. even physically stop some people from showing their joy hundreds of thousands of displaced people who wanted to return seems possible. i'll return to the place where my mother grandmother were born. from.

and. to look to me i can't even describe this feeling it's impossible to express all this. after a steady gains on the battlefield since september that he has been made possible largely because of other by john's advanced military power the president acknowledged his forces as he declared the conflict over. god bless heroes as a result of their heroism and self-sacrifice we return to our learns. that soldiers can recover soon and return to normal life i have called it an armenian defeat agreed but. i did the deal hold on to the areas of. the feeling that he's fighting for i mean your has agreed to withdraw from several other nearby areas in the coming few weeks russian peacekeepers will remain in the region but an extended 5 years in return other by john will stop its advances and the guns on the front lines have fallen silent. as it would join the army that we are capable to

liberate our we have liberated our now we also showed that we have the political will to stop the hostilities and to continue by negotiations many people in the. don't completely trust russian peacekeepers and wanted their forces to retake all of the disputed region the turkish foreign minister called the deal a secret success as the president peacekeepers in addition to the russians but it's not yet decided exactly how those troops will be deployed. other rajani say a few weeks of war have achieved more than 2 decades of diplomacy but maintaining peace is not going to be easy as thousands of people have been killed in both sides and more than a 1000000 have released based on what armenia and azerbaijan from a dollar it out of their pocket. manias promises signing the deal was incredibly painful and has promised an explanation as soon as he's able to. in the current

situation there was no chance of making another decision a plan to give more details such as why and what the reason was behind last month's events i can't do it right now for one simple reason because stopping military actions is the main focus right now and if i say something i couldn't danger people . but a bill hamid is monitoring developments in the armenian capital yerevan where angry protesters gathered outside the parliament. you had just people coming in voicing how upset they were at this deal recently spoke to some of the displaced who had escaped and other areas in the over the past 6 to 6 weeks and they told us that they felt betrayed by this deal that how did the prime minister accept such an agreement without consulting with the people you know it came as a surprise it was midnight. time i mean your time rather and people

just this news spread like wildfire but they was no indication that the prime minister was heading towards that so you do get that sense of anger and also a sense of sadness a sense of loss probably does a sense of loss that is today restored. and is has been transferred to armenia those who support still prime minister. say that they want to hear more from him they want to know why he did that why after 6 weeks of fighting with such a big loss of human life at least 1200 soldiers why did at this point decide that it was enough conflict had to stop.

the deadly conflict in northern ethiopia is threatening to spill over the country's borders and appears to be fueling a humanitarian crisis around 3 and a half 1000 people have fled the region from neighboring sudan as for ethiopian prime minister had ordered an offensive last week after accusing local t.v. forces of attacking a military base since then hundreds of people have died in as trikes and other attacks on the areas communications have been cut off mamadou is in if you. capital addis ababa he says there's growing concern of the future of tikrit. well there is the fear and diplomats believe that the longer the conflict takes the more difficult it might be to return the degree region back into the for the version of regionals but if you are currently married off by the government this is going to be a quick operation and they say they're not willing to talk until the operation achieves its objectives which are mainly to bring the current leadership of the to graham

peoples of the press room to justice for crimes the government spokesman face was committed against the people of european also to confiscate or destroy the must've . of weapons got to people of had pashtuns in their region over time including me that can reach us for some 100 kilometers away and which the spokesman they have threatened to use against the cuts the quality of about and the. police the main stop ethiopia to about 40 also kilometers of the coppertone another objective base of this operation is to install a new administration in the region. mass protests are taking place across peru after martin vickery was removed from the presidency attest as have fought with police outside congress in the capital lima where his car is replacement manual

of the used and the example of that uneasy unmanned the travelled illegally from tunisia of through italy and into france to show how both the external border had failed to stop and stop this person being able to get into the e.u. but then also the internal border between italy and france has meant that this young man was able then to carry out such a terrible attack a niece and he said this is a sort of thing that needs to be stopped now france is actually bolstered his own security on its borders but a man on mike ross said that this change in area this area in the e.u. where you can travel about a passport needs to be reformed and really looked at other measures that are on the table were more measures that would look at trying to stop online hate speech and propaganda and also we heard from the e.u. council head shell michel who joined also this meeting by video conference he said

there's something that he thought was very interesting and had been widely discussed was the idea of him arms being trained in europe european m arms trained in europe and therefore a ban on foreign him arms coming into europe he said that would be a way of preventing foreign influence. a vatican report has revealed failures to stop the rise of a disgraced cardinal including by pope john paul the 2nd 3rd or mccarrick a former archbishop of washington was one of the catholic church's most prominent u.s. cardinals before being expelled from the priesthood 2 years ago it been promoted despite being found guilty by the church of abuse of minors along with other allegations the church of knowledged the former pope knew about the allegations but doesn't accuse the president wanted of trying to protect him. and a british inquiry into abuse in the catholic church there has found the institution prioritised its own reputation over the welfare of sexually abused children the

independent investigation says the church repeatedly failed to support survivors while taking action to protect alleged perpetrators this includes moving them to different parishes the report also describes the profound and lifelong impact on the abused children it criticised britain's top cardinal of failing to take responsibility the vatican refused to cooperate with the inquiry. so to come this half hour the palestinians lose their chief peace negotiator eric out who's died weeks after contracting covert 19. and the promise of a likely coronavirus vaccine generates excitement around the world but will it be available to all. because some rather cloudy weather across a good part of europe at the moment is generally low cloud calm and quiet to

central park some fog problems and the early on but brightness by the after news with that high pressure in charge further west we have got bands of cloud and rain weather systems rolling in from the atlantic and they would have a greater influence on i weather as we go through the next couple of days so there we go with that cloud and that rain spreading its way across. the island whiles western parts of england and west of scotland as we go through where the state runs right down across the breast potentially the northwest to spain also seeing some of that wetter weather which will make its way further east which as because through thursday making way for the next system as we had a tools the latter part of the week for central areas there we go still last week quite almost bits and pieces of rain will just push in from the northwest as we go on through the 2nd half of the week still a few showers down towards the east the side of the mediterranean the wanted to those showers also affecting the far north of africa the northern parts of egypt you see some showers now there is of libya but even catch shero to coast northern

one of the top stories here now is 02000 russian peacekeepers have been deployed to the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh after moscow negotiated a truce between armenia and azerbaijan a cease fire has halted 6 weeks of fighting and that as our john keep recaptured territory. around 3 and a half 1000 people have fled ethiopia's tikrit region for sudan the central government troops battle local forces hundreds of people died and the areas communications have been cut off. and mass protests are taking place across peru after martin vickery was removed from the presidency testers are fought with police outside congress in the capital lever where his car is replacement money and marino was sworn in a few hours ago. the

u.s. section of state has joined the chorus of republican voices denying joe biden's election when might compare was asked if he would assist a smooth handover and gave this surprising answer there will be a smooth transition to a 2nd trouble mr azure. right we're ready but the world is watching what's taking place that we're going to come of the votes when the process is complete they'll be electors selected there's a process the constitution lays it out pretty clearly the world should have every confidence that the transition necessary to make sure that the state department is functional today successful today and successful with a president who's in office on january 20th a minute after new well also be successful president donald trump and his allies

have doubled down on unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud well continuing to block biden's transition team he says he did press says the trumpet ministration is not allowing the democratic leader to access intelligence briefings which are traditionally shared with incoming president biden meanwhile has been contacting some of america's biggest allies he's spoken to leaders of france germany and the u.k. who congratulated him and vice president elect going to harris on winning the election . meanwhile the u.s. supreme court has begun hearing arguments in a case which could strip 20000000 people of medical insurance justices have already signaled that they're unlikely to strike down all of the affordable care act a key piece of president obama's legacy is known as obamacare president trump and other republicans want to nor struck down it expanded public health care programs and enable more people to obtain private insurance the decision is expected by the end of gene next year. i speak to white house correspondent kimberly halkett in

washington d.c. i can be able to go back to compare his comments was he joking or was he very serious when he said that. i think that he was serious he's been one of the president's biggest offenders and he joins a chorus of republicans including prominent senators like lindsey graham ted cruz even the vice president mike pence as well as the president meeting again today that the term campaign is making big progress with its court challenges and so i'll try saying we will win all caps on twitter it's clear that what the secretary of state believes is that the u.s. president is within his within his legal justification to challenge the legality of ballots that were received after november 3rd considering there is no precedent due to the fact that there was just so many millions of mail in ballots to decode it 19 and social distancing and the concern for the trumpet ministration is the

affidavits and reports from a number of different states where people were sending in ballots without proper identification were sending in ballots on behalf of people that were deceased or even sending in ballots for people that had moved out of the state there are also affidavits from postal workers who say they were ordered to back today to november 2nd the receipt of some of these ballots so these are the grounds in which the trumpet ministration or rather the term campaign is challenging the election results what makes this different from 2000 when we also had a disputed election result for 37 days things were left in doubt ultimately george w. bush getting the presidency over al gore is that would involve just one state and about 500 votes this time we're talking multiple states and millions of votes being challenged and. the obamacare or the affordable care act is going

to through the supreme court again tell us what's happening not and want significant. it's significant because many had thought that this could be the challenge that could undo the affordable care act which of course is the biggest legacy of president barack obama and his then vice president joe biden now what we're hearing or at least what is being signaled from the justices is that it may survive at least in part the reason the people thought this might be in question is due to the fact that there has been 3 different appointments to the supreme court by donald trump making it more conservative in terms of its you points than maybe it would be in the past but what we're hearing from arguments what many legal experts are taking away from the arguments are that 2 of those conservative justices the chief justice john roberts and also the justice brett kavanaugh seem to be entertaining some of the arguments in defense of

keeping the affordable care act or at least portions of it which republicans have argued including the trumpet ministration is unconstitutional now we won't know ultimately till june when this is finally released in terms of a decision but again many people in the united states who are looking to see this upheld are feeling hopeful based on the arguments that were presented before the court today ok thank you very much indeed and we're keeping an eye on a news conference that we're expecting from president elect joe biden who's expect to speak on the affordable care act as it goes through the supreme court and we've got to come to if it's to overturn it's will bring you that. if it starts in time. now 3 days of national mourning have been declared in palestine after the death of say barrack at the veteran peace negotiator and champion of the palestinian cause died at the age of $65.00 after contracting coronavirus he was involved in nearly

every round of peace talks with israel in the past 3 decades it's a force that reports from ramallah in the occupied west bank. so it was at the center of the israeli palestinian conflict for much of his life for many around the world one of the most familiar and effective voices for the palestinian cause his death came just over a month since he was diagnosed with covert 19 his wife and one of his daughters among those who rushed to the west jerusalem hospital where he was being treated from your keypad westbank the tributes began to come in it was somebody who persisted this by commanders are was good up to extremely cruel at that who had devoted his whole life to ensuring that palestinian lives. and palestinians are out i would say and i've indicated. so i was 12 years old when israeli tanks rolled into his hometown of jericho part of

a war that lasted 6 days and reshaped the region and his life he attended university in the united states and moved to england to complete a ph d. in conflict resolution. at the madrid peace talks in 1901 he insisted on wearing the car fear the symbol of palestinian national identity in the decades following as a palestinian chief negotiator he would be both criticized and praised for his stubbornness over terms for a 2 state solution based on the 1967 borders being it doesn't negotiate or was it was or is that all there e i would say. possible to negotiate because we all knew well well he's real red lines but the day of his death also brought fresh attacks from some on the israeli right prime minister benjamin netanyahu some called him a terrorist who worked for the destruction of israel over the years erekat

described a growing pessimism at israel's expansion of illegal settlements and the steady entrenchment of its occupation and that's what really that can undermine that was that solution and it play with it or do what i call one step closer to them. maintaining the threat of court now apartheid i don't think in the 21st century they will get away with it it's impossible all the while he's been fighting a more personal battle risperidone disease that would in 2017 require a transplant of both lungs and leave him among the most vulnerable to the coronavirus pandemic on tuesday afternoon erica its body was brought here to ramallah ahead of his burial in his hometown of jericho on wednesday he was aware in his latter years that the failure to achieve a palestinian state had affected his standing they say i should have got a tongue transplant instead of a lung transplant he once said but he never did give up on his advocacy for
