this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm maryam moshiri. searching for survivors — armenia and azerbaijan are urged to heed a ceasefire after another deadly attack in the disputed region of nagorno—karabakh. president trump says he's immune to coronavirus, but scientists say the virus hasn't been around long enough to fully understand the body's response. security forces in belarus stand accused of increasingly brutal tactics to break up mass protests over the re—election of president alexander lukashenko. the head of the nigerian police says a controversial anti—robbery brigade will be dissolved following days of nationwide protests.

the ceasefire brokered by russia between armenia and azerbaijan — to try and end a flare up in fighting over the last two weeks — has been breached within its first 2a hours. a bbc team in the disputed region of nagorno—karabakh says it's heard regular shelling from the direction of the front line, despite a ceasefire being in place. the region, which you can see here in red, is officially part of azerbaijan, but it's been controlled by ethnic armenians since the collapse of the soviet union. in azerbaijan's second city, ganja, which is outside the region — at least seven civilians in a residential area have been killed by rocket fire. in nagorno karabakh,

damage to the main city, stepa na kert, continues, with air raid sirens sounding — this video is running on armenian state media. our international correspondent orla guerin sent this report from azerbaijan. "let me see his face," she begs. "one last time." she is not alone in this desperate search. "let me see," says this woman. "is he from my family?" "may the armenians die", she cries. here is what's left of her neighbourhood in ganja — azerbaijan's second largest city. far from the front line, but not far enough.

this is just off the main street. no sign of military targets. we saw remnants of what baku says was a ballistic missile. it's accusing armenia of a war crime. this was clearly a civilian target — apartment blocks, flats where people were living. there's bedding and blankets and mattresses strewn among the rubble here. the attack happened at about 2am. now, this is supposed to be a ceasefire, but it looks more like all—out war. and what happens next? is there worse to come on both sides? standing here now, in the rubble, is the ceasefire dead? actually, it's hard to assess the situation. therefore, currently we are considering the situation. if armenia continues to attack azerbaijani civilians, then azerbaijan will be obliged to take necessary measures against legitimate

military targets. you are saying that they have fired at you, and you are also saying that you reserve the right to retaliate. so which is it? are you sticking to the ceasefire or are you going to retaliate for this attack? at this stage we are trying to stick to the ceasefire regime, but of course, if they continue to do so, attacking azerbaijani civilians, as every nation, we also have a right to self—defence. as azerbaijan recovered more of its dead, it, too, was accused of breaching the ceasefire by shelling civilians on the other side. though the truce looked shattered today, it did not collapse. but ganja was hit hard. this woman's grandchildren were asleep in these beds, and were lucky to survive. but she acknowledges the pain in nagorno—karabakh. "we are all mothers," she told me.

"there and here — and our hearts are aching." orla guerin, bbc news, ganja, azerbaijan. twitter has flagged up another tweet by president trump as containing misleading and potentially harmful information related to coronavirus after he tweeted he was immune from the infection. scientists say the virus hasn't been around long enough to understand a immune response. earlier mr trump made the same claim on fox news, after his doctor said he was no longer a transmission risk. it seems like i'm immune so i can go way out of the basement which i would have done anyway, which i would have done anyway, which i would have done anyway, which i did, because you have to runa which i did, because you have to run a country, you have to get out of the basement, and it looks like i'm immune for i don't know, maybe a long time oi’ don't know, maybe a long time or maybe a short time, it could bea or maybe a short time, it could be a lifetime, nobody really knows, but i'm immune, so... the president is in very good shape. joining me now is our

north america correspondent peter bowes. the president is in very good shape, so says the president. that is the message that he wa nts to that is the message that he wants to get out there in the week that he returns to campaigning. he is heading to florida, pennsylvania, iowa, to resume those rallies that were also familiar to the trump campaign. that makes all so familiar. but doctors don't have access to all of the president's medical data but there is scepticism that some ten days after he announced he tested positive or coronavirus, that he can say that he is "immune", as the president put it, that he can't catch it and he can't spread it to anybody else. clearly, that is the concern, especially if the president is resuming mingling with other people. the concern would really be that he is still infectious and other people could catch the virus from him. what is this doing to

the presidential campaign? what has the impact been so far? we are at, i think, a turning point in this campaign. if indeed the president does resume those in person rallies, as we are expecting this week. joe biden has resumed with his foot up it will be more cautious public appearances. it remains to be seen how president will go out there in the public with medical opinion seemingly against him or as the resident is doggedly sticking to the line, that he is now healthy. —— president. a number of opinion polls on the weekend, once again, these are national opinion polls, showing thatjoe biden is extending his lead and on the key question of what people think about the president's response to his own illness has been a very negative reaction, according to those polls. when we talk about opinion polls, we have to be very careful. remember four yea rs very careful. remember four

years ago when hillary clinton won the popular vote but she didn't win enough delegates around the country to become president stop national opinion polls do tend to reflect popular vote. a certain amount of caution when talking about those polls was nonetheless, they have shown quite a wide margin now between the two candidates. peter bowes, thank you very much and e. —— indeed. joining me now is professor peter hotez — dean of the us national school of tropical medicine: thank you very much forjoining us. first of all, if the president says look, i'm immune, clearly that can't be true because we just don't know enough, do we, about this disease, to say that with such unequivocal force. that's right. the president tends to be very imprecise with his language around disease and illness in general, he seems to use simplistic terms talking about yours or in this case, he says he is immune. —— talking

about cures because of what we know is that he has had the virus for ten days and he has been symptom—free for 2h hours and therefore, he has a green light to go ahead and be with the public. if you look at the world health organization criteria, when you dig a little deeper, you will find that someone like the president was interacting with large numbers of people, probably have —— probably should have two pcr tests 100 hours apart that are direct 2a hours apart at the white house position never says that. we don't know what is happening with the president. the hope is that he is no longer transmitting the virus. whether he is immune, in terms of whether he has the antibodies to the virus and has antibodies to the virus and has an immune response, possibly that's what he means, but this has been a constant story around the coronavirus task force in general, the lack of positional language and what exactly the president means and what his white house position

is trying to say with the letters. it is a bit unclear. that lack of precision, that language you are talking about, how dangerous is that in terms of the message that it gets across to the us public? well, this is it, right? we have never really had clear language and communication coming out of the white house around anything this year with covid—19. if you ever listen to the briefings from the coronavirus task force, you would say, well, what you would expect is for them to come out and say look, these are the three problems that —— the three or four problems that concern us, this is what could happen if we don't address it and this is how we're to address it. just like i tell my first year graduate or medical students to do in graduate or medical students to doina graduate or medical students to do in a presentation, we have never had that in the coronavirus task force. it is kind of this odd collection of fa ct kind of this odd collection of fact strung together in a

strange narrative that leaves the public lacking confidence in what's going on was up in fa ct, in what's going on was up in fact, we've never really had a national response to covid—19, it has noise been about manufacturing support and letting the states lead. this is why we have our terrible tragedy of more than 200,000 american deaths with some projection of it going to 300,000 by the end of the year. professor, thank you. security forces in belarus have detained dozens of protesters and used force to break up crowds who are demanding a new presidential election. belarus, a former soviet republic closely allied with russia, has seen weekly street protests since authorities announced that veteran leader alexander lu kashenko won the election in august by a landslide. this report from aruna iyengar. still the protesters come onto the streets of minsk. they have taken to the streets every week to demand resident lukashenko

steps down to allow for new elections to be held —— president. they are fired on with tear gas, water cannon and there is a heavy policing. police officers wearing black bala clavas police officers wearing black balaclavas track police officers wearing black bala clavas track protesters does make drag protesters unmarked vans. resident lukashenko has unmarked vans. resident lu kashenko has been unmarked vans. resident lukashenko has been in power since 1994. he denies his electrical win in august came asa electrical win in august came as a result of cheating. sviatla na tsikhanouskaya claims to be the true winner. a meeting followed between lukashenko and meeting followed between lu kashenko and the meeting followed between lukashenko and the detained leaders in a minskjail. an unusual event leading to some hope he would make some concessions. sviatlana tsikhanouskaya has been forced into exile in lithuania. she said on social media she was pleased that lu kashenko acknowledged the existence of

political prisoners who he used to call criminals but added that you can't have a dialogue ina that you can't have a dialogue in a prison cell. meanwhile, the president's ally, russia, has put her on its wanted lists foran has put her on its wanted lists for an unspecified criminal charge. the eu and the us have refused to wreck guys lukashenko's inaugurated —— have refused to recognise lukashenko's inauguration. they have also hit belarus with sanctions. out of the latest protest, police in minsk so they have detained several dozen people but the rights group says the numbers were closer to 330 arrests. they have never —— they have now been northern 1300 detentions since the elections. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: as developers prepare for major new console launches, we ask if gaming has become the world's most popular form form of entertainment?

parts of san francisco least affected by the earthquake are returning to life, but in the marina area where most of the damage was done, they are more conscious than ever of how much has been destroyed. in the 19 years since he was last here, he has gone from being a little—known revolutionary to an experienced and successful diplomatic operator. it was a 20—pound bomb which exploded on the fifth floor of the grand hotel, ripping a hole in the front of the building. this government will not weaken, democracy will prevail. it fills me with humility and gratitude to know that i have been chosen as the recipient of this foremost of earthly honours. this catholic nation held its breath for the men they called the 33. and then, bells tolled nationwide to announce the first rescue and chile let out an almighty roar.

this is bbc news, the latest headlines: russia and the eu have led calls for armenia and azerbaijan to respect a ceasefire in nagorno—kara bakh, as rescuers search for survivors after shelling in the region's main city. president trump has insisted he's now immune to coronavirus, but scientists say it's too early to understand the body's response. campaigners in nigeria have responded with scepticism to the announcement that a police unit — widely accused of brutality — has been disbanded. protesters had called for the special anti—robbery squad — or sars — to be broken up. but they're unhappy that its officers are being redeployed to other units rather than being disciplined. the bbc‘s tim allman reports.

four days, the pressure has been building. protest following protest, demonstrators with wonderment clear message. and sars now! today, not tomorrow! and sars now. stop killing our boyfriends, stop killing our children! stop! today is a crime, stop killing them! the response from the authorities was similarly direct. regular police deploying water cannon, then almost out of the blue, an announcement. the special anti—robbery squad of the nigerian police, otherwise known as sars, is hereby dissolved across all formations that assisted police commands and the federal territory where they currently exist. sars has a fierce reputation.

this video, posted on youtube, appears to show an officer violently attacking a suspect. this is what has been accused of corruption, taking bribes and making a lawful arrest, torture, and even carrying out extrajudicial killings. allegations that have been denied. but the protesters at this amount lent may seem like good news but many say they have been here before. this is the first time the government has banned sars. they have banded before. it will begin. for me, it is not acceptable. everything that is swinging on twitter right now has to do with the end sars movement. it is really exciting to see about nigerians gathering together for a good cause. nigeria's expect a general of police says allegations of abuse will be investigated. most importantly, he insists the force will be professional and accountable to the people. tim allman, bbc news. the french interior minister has called for some types

of fireworks to be banned after they were used to attack a police station on the outskirts of paris in the early hours of sunday morning. around 40 people are said to have been part of the attack, which saw police having to barricade themselves inside the station as a crowd, armed with metal bars, tried to force their way inside. the minister, gerald darmanin, said the authorities would not be intimidated and appeared to link the attack to drug trafficking. now, of all the sectors affected by coronavirus, few have been hit harder than international travel. thailand faces a particular dilemma. their tourism industry accounted for roughly one fifth of their economy before the pandemic. our south east asia correspondentjonathan head reports from the popular tourist island of koh pha ngan, to see how it has been affected.

this was one of the world's most famous beaches stop with an equally famous party. this city on thailand's koh pha ngan used to be an essential stop on every backpacker‘s itinerary. but something so wild, so crowded, so dependent on mass travel was never going to survive covid—19. translation: like a tsunami, it crashed and everything fell with it. says this man who rents out motorbikes. look around you, there is no income here anymore. right now, it is full moon again and until covid—19 kept all of the tourists away, by this time, the beach would have been filling up, the dj cranking their music and hundreds of businesses doing well. there were plenty ofjobs

and profits. nearly all of them now gone. but the people who live on this lovely island are now wondering whenever international travel starts up again, whether they might not do it differently next time. there is a lot less pollution now. though these rubbish volu nteers now. though these rubbish volunteers still find plenty left on the beach even six months after the party has stopped. it is a chance for koh pha ngan's natural environment to recover. we live here, we have ourfamily to recover. we live here, we have our family here. and businesses, foreign and locally owned, now discussing a greener future for the island economy. but there are also many other things that people can see on the island that we want to promote that... one that is focused on longer stays in a greater sense of community. and do it in an ecologically conscious way as well. some of the island's residents have now started a community garden to

showcase this new, less material spirit. the vegetables grown here are to help those who have lost theirjobs to the covid crisis. at this resort, his family has owned it for 40 yea rs, his family has owned it for 40 years, mark is also having a rethink. covid is really sort ofa rethink. covid is really sort of a reset button right now. at some point, itjust so happens that covid really pushed that ha rd reset that covid really pushed that hard reset button. like other resorts, mark is now relying on a smaller number of long—standing visitors who value a slower lifestyle. so today, where once young revellers from across the globe

partied hard until dawn, there are families, eating and playing around a campfire. it isa playing around a campfire. it is a less profitable but surely more sustainable way of exploiting this very special island. jonathan had, bbc news, koh pha ngan thailand. more time indoors and online has been the reality for many of us through the pandemic — and that has meant a huge surge in gaming. next month new xbox and playstation consoles will be released — and gaming looks like it could become the world's most popular form of entertainment. as the bbc‘s media editor, amol rajan reports. he doesn't know where he is. he doesn't know what to do. he's his head. he's in his head! call of duty, the first—person shooter video game, isn't merely an experience these days. for a growing army of players, it's the pinnacle of a career. that includes 21—year—old sean o'connor from glasgow.

a bit like a top footballer, he plays for the london royal ravens — one of the best teams in the international league. he'sjust signed a six—figure deal through his manager and often trains for eight hours a day. i feel like gaming has a thing for everyone. there is streaming, there is youtube, there's competing, there is just casual gaming. i think there's a lot that even the casual or even older or younger can all play and have a good time. you can do it from the comfort of your own room. don't eat the food! gaming today is more a global social network than a digital version of monopoly or snakes and ladders. global revenues have leapt from under $20 billion annually a decade ago to a projected $200 billion within the next three years. the growth in the uk alone was exponential. even before lockdown, it led to a huge surge in playing. smartphones and consoles are driving that growth. and britain is benefiting. these vast buildings are now creative studios, deployed for making

films or games. if ever there were evidence of new media suppla nting old, it's here. a former printworks site for the daily mail in oxfordshire — now owned by rebellion, a british media giant that makes games such as the forthcoming evil genius 2, sniper elite and this one — zombie army four. one of the key technologies for us in the games industry is digital distribution across our global population. so the more people that we can connect to with our games, the more people can play them and then itjust becomes a challenge of discovery. the key component, though, is it's exporting our creativity worldwide. and the audience for our computer games is as broad as we can reach with the internet. it may look like a blank canvas, but sites like this one, 50 miles west of london, will help video gaming dominate the attention economy. new technologies are making even the most complex game universally accessible. multiplayer titles have made

gaming a social experience. and whereas books, films, tv shows and podcasts all have a single plot with an ending, it is in the very nature of gaming for the same content to go in countless, attention—grabbing directions. these 3d worlds are a great and growing business. new technology is converting gaming and alternative reality to a way of life. amol rajan, bbc news. some good news — an asteroid thought to be heading to earth has turned out to be something a little less threatening. nasa says what it thought was a large piece of space rock hurtling towards the planet has turned out to be the upper part of an old rocket. it's identified the piece ofjunk as having been part of the centaur rocket. it was launched in 1966 to carry a moon lander into space prior to the 1969 landings. so we live to fight another

day. but is it from me and the team. thank you for watching, goodbye. hello there. the changing autumn colours looked splendid in the sunshine on sunday. beginning to look a little more muted as we go through monday. lots more cloud around, outbreaks of rain spreading its way eastwards across most parts during the day as well. the cloud and rain, though, from these weather fronts as they push in through the night means the temperature shouldn't drop too much across western areas. in the east though, a little ridge of high pressure, some clearer skies for a time. could even be a touch of frost in the countryside, with temperatures and lower single figures, away from the city centres. but here, some early brightness before cloud thickens, rain arrives later into the afternoon. a wet start in northern ireland, through much of scotland, and around any western fringes of england and wales.

the rain heavy at times. clearing through northern ireland quite quickly to a blustery wind, sunshine and a few showers later. same too into scotland as we go into the afternoon and maybe some late sunshine into northwest england and north and west wales. winds strongest across the west during the second half of the day. light winds further east, but even though those winds coming in from a south—westerly direction, they won't bring much warmth with them. after a cold start, the cloud and the rain arriving means temperatures not going to lift much — parts of yorkshire through towards the midlands and lincolnshire could be only around nine degrees, same too in aberdeenshire. through monday night, the rain could linger across east anglia and the southeast, and it returns across parts of northern scotland with some heavy showers through northern ireland, wales and the southwest. with the clearest conditions in southwest and northwest england, here, a touch of frost into tuesday morning, but i think all of us see a bit of cloud around and some rain around at times on tuesday. our weather front, well, pressure deepens in around it. so that low pressure spinning around, buckling our weather front back southwards across scotland during the morning — brighter conditions in the afternoon. we will see some brighter weather on tuesday across the heart of england and wales, but outbreaks of rain across many northern—eastern

areas, heavy showers towards the southwest as well. the breeze will be picking up, but it won't feel quite as chilly, i suspect, for the southwest midlands down towards the southwest. then, as we go through into wednesday, still some cloud and showers around, particularly for england and wales. a stiff northeasterly breeze for all, best of the sunshine in the west, driest of all parts of scotland and northern ireland. but a cool feeling day, once again, and that cool feel will continue through the rest of the week, with temperatures down on where they should be for the time of year. the winds, though, will gradually ease and the skies will brighten a little bit more, with more of you spending thursday and friday dry. that's how it's looking. see you soon.

this is bbc news, the headlines: russia and the eu have led calls for armenia and azerbaijan to respect a ceasefire in nagorno—kara bakh, which should have taken effect on saturday. the russian foreign minister, sergei lavrov, said the truce must be strictly enforced. the eu said it was extremely concerned by reports of further military action targeting civilians. president trump has insisted that he is immune to coronavirus after contracting the illness. scientists say the virus hasn't been around long enough to understand the full immune response. twitter has again issued a warning about one of the president's tweets on the subject. the security forces in belarus have again used water cannon and stun grenades against demonstrators who took to the streets to denounce president lukashenko's re—election in august. campaigners say more than 400 people were arrested. many journalists were among those detained.
