armenia police have arrested three prominent opposition politicians including nichol oppression in and he's been leading the anti-government demonstrations in the capital yet of on his arrest came just hours after prime minister says circassian walked out of a televised talk with him armenia has seen ten consecutive days of protest since circassian became prime minister just after ten year term as president protests this is the morning he stepped down police in yet of an all currently moving to calm demonstrations while on the line now we can speak to and not a fairy an independent researcher in yet a van the capital of armenia nerika several opposition leaders have now been arrested on what grounds and what will this mean for the protests. the opposition leaders were first taken into custody and after a while the police issued

a statement alleging that they are organizers of illegal protests that happened deemed illegal before but until today the police was showcasing much more restraint but today they have all been formally arrested and there is a legal question surrounding this point because three of them are members of parliament the national assembly have to approve of their being arrested the rallies and protests continue various points throughout the. cross the country there is a major clash happening at the thought where at least two of the three detained are known the main leader nikos question you know there are rumors about his whereabouts but there's been confirmed yet for the past week or ten days every evening at seven pm local time there has been a huge rally and actually have it on the public square why president and recent political history all right and there was a question about whether or not. but well ok so help us understand then the

background to all of this why have the demonstrations against the prime minister become so angry now. at such there are questions of legitimacy surrounding politicians in this country and election tend not to be free and fair they're often rallying after a national election with a new constitution now in the new regime the president who has already served two terms have taken on the role of prime minister with the same power actually serving a third term but after explicitly promising out of the new constitution was being developed to not run for office again so this seems to have. much more indignance than one might have expected and the opposition leader question young who has a track record of organizing public broadly has been riding this wave for the past week now it appears that the government seems unwilling to negotiate with the

opposition so what happens next. it is an ongoing and quite honestly a ball a crowd situation rushing and have presented a crime in which the prime minister would resign and a new transitional government would receive a vote of no confidence thereby precipitating elections which would be free and fair this time but as you saw this morning prime minister chairs are present refused to negotiate on the grind he considers the position to be one of the very uncompromising ultimatum and he accuses the opposition of having not very much public support because he only got six or seven percent of the bill last time however we have seen tens of thousands of protesters and so the operation is. used to participate in that a society an independent research in yet of god thank you now some of the other stories making news around the world in china seventeen people have drowned

considering with during the unpopular reforms. images of the unrest that has rocked the central american nation of nicaragua for days now police using tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse protesters the violence erupted as nicaraguans took to the streets in an unusually direct challenge to president daniel ortega's rule. they're protesting a proposed change to the social security system forcing workers and employers to pay more towards the retirement system. as the funeral service was held for one of those killed in managua there were renewed calls for the government to act. violence doesn't bring anything good here we have a fifteen year old student who's been killed blood which has been spilt unjustly. we believe that the government needs to stop this violence and the country will not

go anywhere with such violence against our youth. who will. in a televised address president ortega has sought to defuse tensions saying the changes were not due to take effect until july and that there was time for the government and the private sector to negotiate. but the important thing is to get this agreement for consensus call is to the family of nicaragua to all nicaraguans to keep the peace. process. but nicaraguan business leaders have rejected his comments they say the government must first and the police repression of the protests and the violent confrontation that has already changed so many lives. germany's essential leftist social democratic party has elected

a woman as leader for the first time in its one hundred fifty five year history on their knowledge this was elected a short while ago to special conference in the western city of rees barton she won sixty six percent of the vote beating simone erlanger the mayor of the city of flensburg forty seven year old knowledges faces a huge task in reviving her party's dwindling fortunes the s.p.d. had its worst ever election result last september. and that s.p.d. party conference for us is our political correspondent thomas thomas not as the first woman to lead the s.p.d. how significant is that. it is indeed significant because we're talking here about the party described as the oldest in germany and also because knowledge has a very important task a very important challenge ahead of namely to push the renewal of a party that has suffered a lot in recent months as it's gone from one crisis to the next it is also

important if you look at germany's political spectrum because knowledge is not the only woman now leading a party we've got four women in germany why the leader of kohli political parties so it is significant that knowledge has been chosen for a wide variety of reasons all right sixty six percent of the vote that is what she's taking from her party how convincing is that. it shows first and foremost that not everyone is happy with this and everyone believes that she will be able to push the paci forward so from doc perspective for her it is not necessarily a fantastic result but on the other hand i don't think that yesterday you were expecting another one hundred percent which was what martin shows the former leader that one hundred percent which was a first a dream quickly turned into a nightmare for the s.p.d. has it then how did it worst result in the german elections so from that perspective it is certainly possible and certainly

a bit more realistic if you will instead of having high hopes and their knowledge now has to work and try to unite the party and try to make clear what the party stands for and how they plan to achieve what the party stands for well let's be realistic social democratic parties across europe has faced existential crises in recent years any chance now that knowledge can revive social democracy in germany and potentially in europe. pope goal will be to try and revive social democracy in germany but some of the challenges that social democracy facing now in germany are also challenges that other parties around europe face and that's something that we clearly saw here today by the way social democratic parties are facing a very important question namely what they stand for some of the voters that traditionally voted for the social democratic parties have now gone elsewhere so the challenges are not his house are also challenges that all the parties share right thomas spyro
