a curfew have been introduced. the threat from the sky following sunday's shelling of the capital step by not hurt the conflict over in a corner car a buck has the potential of escalating into a full blown military dispute. early in the morning ground. forces launched. gratian including. a long line of counter that contact we thought. they are targeting syrian population in syria any infrastructure including the kept . regional authorities responded to the clashes by imposing martial law with immediate effect. under martial law i will call a general of military mobilization and ask the entire population to unite around the governments of nagorno karabakh and armenia. the responsibility for any reason should off to war rests with the government of azerbaijan now and in the future. i

thought. the heavy military presence and not go in a car or a bucket is part of everyday life in the. past as death and mourning for people on both sides off the conflict. in recent years the disputed region has seen fighting flair on a regular basis located in the south caucasus now going a car back is internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan but is controlled by ethnic armenian forces backed by armenia the conflict dates back to the dissolution of the soviet union ever since armenia and azerbaijan have claimed in a car back as their own territory a so-called frozen conflict that remains unresolved for decades later. in july hostilities flared up again 16 people were killed in the fighting the conflict has international ramifications turkey has expressed its support of azerbaijan while

russia has provided armenia with military equipment. while world leaders are calling for a deescalation it seems on the ground the worrying signs are fanning the flames off their frozen conflict. we're joined now by deed to abuse correspondent in moscow ury chateau yuri what more can you tell us about these latest developments. well michael what we know from media reports is that there could both sides obviously have been blaming each other for attacking forests that that's not the u.s. has been happening again and again for years the last escalation was in june v.c.m. these time there are apparently civilian casualties in the capital of nagorno-karabakh stip on a carrot news obviously the den mention all of this military conflict now there are reports of that and one that among military servicemen and numerous houses in villages half reportedly being destroyed however it might be the toughest fight in

here in this conflict that has been going on for over 30 years already. so you're really getting into it already here but delve a little deeper if you can what impact will these clashes have on the people in the region. well nagorno-karabakh is also a coal to disputed territory disputed region that you're sad it which is internationally recognized as part of there by john but mostly governed by the armenian people so it's an actual fact a kind of an independent state with its own political system from an economic point of view this is a poor area which is pretty complicated to reach and that's why nagorno-karabakh is pretty isolated from the outside world and like any military conflict this escalation will only worsen the situation they're going to block has been frozen conflict for more than educate 1st violence broke out in the region in the ninety's

back then 30000 people what killed then a cease fire was signed which helped to stabilize the conflict but since the june june of this year we see the u.s. collation let's get some real regional perspective here european media has the backing of russia of course as a budge on has strong ties to turkey how dangerous is this escalation of a decades old conflict. well in this original conflict is very dangerous for the entire count as of us and task dramatic consequences even for europe given that azerbaijan is a significant on oil and gas exports to europe and central asia this new unix collation can disrupt oil and gas delivery but we also have to keep in mind you stand into the 2 other strong powers behind our mean and as a by john which are russia and turkey russia has promised to defined armenia russia is traditionally on the armenian side and sees the country in its zone of influence russian armed forces are displayed on their main and border to support this over an

itty of the country of armenia took it on the other side has pledged to support us there by john and then we have also iran well large as areas there by john minority lake so all in all michael this new escalation could inflame a big crisis and all too likely involve more activists on different sides dynamic situation there you're in moscow for is no doubt we'll be checking in with you on this in the upcoming days thank you so much. tens of thousands of bella are again protesting president alexander lukashenko day his opponents are calling this opposition leader took enough skier's inauguration day taken off sky have posted a photo on her telegram channel last night and symbolically taking the oath of office protesters maintain she is the real winner of the august election they've taken to the streets of minsk to mark the occasion accordingly. were determined to stop today's protests in the city the interior ministry says it has detained 200

people correspondent nick connelly is following the situation in minsk for. the patient. as hundreds and thousands of demonstrate to stream to see sent to ignoring warnings to stay away from. daunted by dozens of police already on the streets of. the mold in the restaurants that normally provide refuge to demonstrate to police today they literally have nowhere to hide but if the government thought that. they would somehow put an end to these demonstrations they seemed to make a serious mistake. angry and determined that today's protests become the people's inauguration of the president. to. some of the country's worst hit by the coronavirus aren't the ones making headlines every day for. 800000 infections has had one of the world's highest per capita death rates and its economy has plunged by 30 percent but new cases are slowing

capital lima. so with the rate of new infections on the decline the government is pushing ahead with plans to reopen more of the economy. and even start letting in international flights starting with neighboring countries but some health experts are warning against reopening to fast. and eating the nasty reopening gyms bars discos and other forms of entertainment will be terrible. so yes it could bring about a 2nd wave quicker. i think we definitely need to reconsider these steps. could repeat the pattern of other countries seeing a rise in cases followed by a new wave of mass burials.

don't forget you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our website that's w dot com you can also follow us on twitter and instagram at the news i'm michael local for me in the entire news team here thanks for joining. us. we can seen them. sometimes only since then. but what connects people is stronger than what separates them. is so strong getting to be charmed. we celebrate the 30th anniversary of germany's reunification. to preserve g.w. . many colby's in germany to learn german. emerged

in the cold why not learn with them online on the mobile and free to south of the w z learning course because freak. capital. get hard pon that is hard work it's like being back in school the 63 year old has dictation today kano wants to finally be able to read street signs. it's hard for me. for decades he hid the fact that he can't read and write but he wants to change all that. the way my dream is to write my daughter a letter arrived.

what does that say. you know use. the street sign up there but it's really hard it's always difficult to read. what you did of course it's different for people who can read but. now i just can't. also block the numbers there i can read them. every tuesday. attends literacy classes. he knows the way there by heart he knows which buses to take and he's familiar with the street names. but if he has to go somewhere new it's more difficult. sometimes i invent excuses because i'm a bit ashamed i put on a swiss accent. excuse me please could you help me i'm not from around here.

then they help me so tricks like that yes they're the kind of turks you have. usually works your people are friendly and they help me. in germany there are about 6000000 people who can't read or write properly places like the lan cafe or learning cafe in berlin aim to help. the cause. you know how it works 1st i read a sentence and then you repeat it. then you write it down from memory so listen carefully yes we put too much salt on our supper. we put too much salt on our dinner. suffer. no question this is hard work teachers are not on good smiles encouragingly. trying there are just 8 words oh help you don't worry. she's determined to get the

most out of her students get is roughly twice her age we despite 9 years of schooling get hard pon that didn't learn how to read or write so we. but what he taught. and this is not the 1st literacy course that get hot has attended he finds it very difficult to turn the words he hears into written language it takes more than a half hour for him to write the complete sentence in his exercise book. soften her period at the initial. well done. but there's one problem the sentence is meant to be error free. will have to

try again. you know i did well. happy yes of course. i learned something. it's tiring sure. i'm already 63 and it's really difficult to get things to stick in my head. but i enjoy it anyway. my reading has improved a little. with the easy words. but i couldn't write something like that disqualified. normally there are 6 students in this class but none of the others wanted to be filmed do you mean the others in the class aren't as far along as care hot who says he has no problem being open about it. many people are ashamed and don't want people who they know or maybe their employers to find out that this

is. like many others with this disability has almost always worked mainly temporary jobs often for years he now has a permanent job with quba a nonprofit organization that seeks to provide work for people like him. how did you have a dream job i wanted to become a bus driver. but i didn't because of the difficulties that i had with reading and writing. that and then i wanted to become a plumber. and i tried to learn that trade but i wasn't really coping with vocational training. and so i thought it out and so after 3 or 4 months my boss said to me that i should go back to school and learn how to read and write. but then it would be better. but then again i didn't do that of course and. so i was sad that i didn't learn

a trade. but things are looking up on you and now you know how i collect trash but i also enjoy that because of being outdoors and all that. and it's great. we have a lot of freedom it's great. he's almost the only one here who is so open about not being able to read or write. but there are others who work with similar problems. but most keep it a secret. as if it is this i noticed. men talk about it more openly than women and yes the women tend to talk about it less they're really ashamed to unfortunately. the men are also ashamed but the men tend to be more open about it. at least that's the case with me i decided that something had to change it. is divorced and lives alone is

a recovered alcoholic 10 years ago he decided that it was time to come clean no more secrets. my decision triggered by the fact that his daughter was just about to start school. unfortunately i wasn't able to help her and apart from math i could help her there but that's not enough. reading and writing are very important skills these days and i have always wanted to be able to write to her but i can't at least not without making mistakes but i'll keep on trying i'm only 63 but if when i'm 65 i'll definitely write her a letter if. his daughter didn't want to appear on camera but she's proud that her father is addressing the problem. and making food so when i see the planes flying past i always think you'll have to fly to sweden again someday. i

start daydreaming. it's beautiful up here where. the view is wonderful. he has fond memories of sweden he spent some of the best days of his childhood there going to school in berlin was a painful experience. there were 40 of us in one class back then and it was really hard to learn with so many pupils. and the teacher who was probably a left over from the war he used to hit our hands and make us stand in the corner. ok standing in a corner is not so bad. but hitting our hands was a lot and that was what i had to go through there were 7 of us children in my family. then my mom sent me away. i was sent to sweden i was 8 years old i lived with her parents until i was 16 and all those years i was allowed to travel to sweden summer and winter. of course that was good i learned

swedish and i can speak perfect swedish whenever i speak swedish and i also think in swedish. school report that it is their condo or though i think a god or a lot of shows that you're intelligent. people who are literate the ones who find reading and writing difficult aren't stupid they remember a lot of things really they're pretty smart because they remember so much stuff that the others have to check their phones where street such and such and you just know that the street is to the left or to the right. what do you do when you get mail my girlfriend helps me out. she reads it for me. and and if i have to i go to the job center or i call and ask and.

unfortunately she hasn't seen this letter yet i'll have to remember to take it with me so she can read it through. thanks to this is this dense he has this paperwork pretty much under control these days. but before he came clean about his illiteracy things were different there were heaps of unopened letters. 2 boxes full moving boxes really weak ones. there was stuff from the job center inside from the local authorities but the youth welfare office. i didn't throw anything away. and also stuff about my pension and bills were in there too. on top of that got into debt but he's put those days behind him and he no longer feels under pressure to conceal his disability. i used to say i'd forgotten my reading glasses or the like or i've got another appointment and no time to fill this out now or i'll take it with me things like that.

stressful yes it's stressful of course it is when you're nervous you really need to fill out some form and that creates stress. but one thing that's really close to get his heart these days is raising awareness about adult illiteracy today he's in a pub garden the mobile literacy project the often will be 0 as a quiz for visitors anyone can take part and there's a prize. but i think they've got a full plate with. us not by every year we put out 160 events like this across germany and one or other of you always help out a lot by approaching people on the street and telling them hey if like us you maybe didn't learn to read or write particularly well then have the courage to do something about it. it's particularly important when people like gephardt pond

are there to tell their personal stories. if i did it well but my daughter knows that i can't read well and i always wanted to read her a story but i couldn't i'm still working on it she's 17 now but everything will be ok i will read a story to her one day before. yes it gets darker yod paan and knows that his life could have been very different if he had learned to read and write at school and he's very keen to pass on that message to others but with. the one law. or and the other is where the. ecosystem for. drought instead of rainy season in rwanda climate change is threatening harvests. a startup is now increasingly yields it's
