this is new the beginning is live from berlin hopes that a truce between 2 former soviet republics might last are dashed azerbaijan and armenia trade accusations as missiles rained down on several cities victims describe a night of terror under fire. also coming up tens of thousands of people rally on the streets of minsk calling for belarusians president alexander lukashenko to step down a large number of security forces detained hundreds of protesters. plus coronavirus fatigue in europe bar owners complained new rules forcing them to close early but

their livelihoods are at risk. and william welcome to the program a russian brokered ceasefire in the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh is coming under severe strain azerbaijan says overnight shelling by armenian forces left several people dead and dozens wounded both sides continue to blame the other for breaking the truce. this doesn't look like a ceasefire as are by john's defense ministry released this video of overnight airstrikes on a legend armenian military positions saying they prevented an armenian attack but armenian shelling did hit the as area city of ganja where residents described a night of terror. were sleeping it was around 2 in the morning

we heard an explosion and after that our house blew up it was. then that in that we did go to fell on my face. i opened my eyes and another rocket hit. i said to myself what is this all i could see was clouds of dust. a prisoner exchange meant to take place on sunday was also part of the ceasefire the leader of the self-proclaimed armenian republic of nagorno-karabakh says azerbaijan is not living up to its part of the deal. according to the agreement this process was supposed to take place today with the support of the red cross. there are hundreds of dead bodies lying there and the government is indifferent to their. present by john says it's our media that is acting in bad faith. it seems that the army inside continues to use the

cease fire to its advantage their attacks on the civilian population of azerbaijan these events were also covered by foreign journalists in our country it's now been 2 weeks of fighting inflaming old hatreds that decades of negotiations have failed to put to rest. let's get more now from lawrence burroughs he's the caucuses program director at the london based peace building organization conciliation resources lawrence thanks so much for joining us azerbaijan and armenia there accusing each other of shelling the cities despite this truce what needs to happen to end this conflict well i think we're in a very dangerous moment where actually nobody really has leverage over the conflict parties as you report noted that have been missile strikes and bombardment both of population points in itself ganja azerbaijan's 2nd city last night with civilian casualties the strikes seem to be aimed at imposing political

costs on continuing fighting rather than strictly military goals but the thought that in the have to report resumed fighting in the northeast and southeast so really. the situation is extremely dangerous and populations are becoming increasingly radicalized which gives lead to very narrow space in which to back down now i imagine this conflict is not happening in a vacuum so tell us more about the roles that outside parties are playing in steering this conflict one way or the other. well this is never really been a proxy conflict as such it's driven by local concerns no cool identities but outside powers have been very important in sustaining it and in this new round of escalation so russia for many years has been playing a kind of a balancing act it's a security partner to armenia but selling weapons to to both sides but what russia

doesn't want to see is a protracted conflict involving the next turn or power turkey in the sensitive south caucasus turkey's entry into the army has by johnny conflict as the key kind of new feature of this round of violence this has improved azerbaijan's battle performance and given it the confidence to reject what it sees as self-serving russian mediation but neither russia nor turkey are interested or have the capacity for a broader political settlement and that's why it's crucial that european states now mobilize and act to stabilize the situation to reinvigorate the peace process and to support extending humanitarian aid to the region lawrence for many of our viewers this this conflict might seem very very far away can you tell us more than the implications of this conflict beyond the region that it immediately affects. well i think the key thing in a sense about the south caucasus is that it's surrounded by a number of regional powers russia turkey and iran that each have separate

agendas russia and turkey are seeking to elevate their status in regional and global politics but it's also i think the humanitarian catastrophe that is currently ongoing the united nations high commissioner for human rights has has written on this has stated that there is a major humanitarian disaster ongoing very high numbers of houses and schools civilian infrastructure being destroyed in the one you care about itself and in the azerbaijani towns around the combat zone now when you add that to the impact of the pandemic which is hit both countries quite hard plus winter is coming you have the basis for a major humanitarian disaster that european states cannot ignore. ours for us thank you so much for joining us with that analysis thank you very much tens of thousands of belarusians have taken to the streets of the capital minsk to protest

against president alexander the shango opposition groups say that security forces detained hundreds of demonstrators they and much of the international community say the country's authoritarian leader rigged elections in august and they have $650.00 steps down. the people of minsk have reached the boiling point. up on the new us there he stands a fascist then yes i will remember him for my whole life. once more they took to the streets to demand president lukashenko step down. only to be met by the full strength of security forces. sunday saw some of the most violent tactics yet from afar tese. who sent military vehicles into the center of the capital. groups of black clad

mosques police were filmed running towards protesters. opposition news sites and this witness footage of them pulling protesters to the ground. and dragging them into black minibuses the scene seemed to clash with those film just one day earlier when president lukashenko met with his jailed political opponents to discuss reforms. shouldn't really be focused on the constitution. i'm trying to convince not only all supporters but the whole of society that one needs to look at things more broadly. the bizarre television meeting did little to dissuade many from participating in sunday's protests of course that because he wants to look like the kind lead on this so that the elderly in front of the television think that he's really ready for the dialogue with the opposition over here think. he's just a terrorist talking to his hostages and he's trying to sell that to us as

negotiations. demonstrators have vowed to continue taking to the streets until president lukashenko steps down. the world health organization is warning of what it's calling widespread coated fatty. big in europe tensions are rising in many cities where measures have been reimposed to try to slow down the spread of the virus the new restrictions are having a particular impact on sectors such as the service and hospitality industries. they say scotland's not like shutdown has put their businesses on thin ice hospitality industry workers protesting glasgow they worried about their future after the scottish government announced restaurants bars and pubs across much of the country will close for the next 2 wakes they concern shared by the boquet because of berlin is the sense that they have businesses and now being hit by the city's 1st few in 70 years

it's the premie yeah of yoga symphony number one. an idea from the group a lab rats bunda. normally they would be touring around the world but the coronavirus pandemic has forced the band to be more flexible. good equal months at least coronavirus times are of course depressing for musicians we're not allowed to do concerts which is what we love to do most being with people and having a good time ever in sweats and dances it doesn't feel like that now it's. the brass band i used to be stages. here mix of traditional but very in brass music funk and techno has brought them success on the international stage.

now they've moved to a more relaxing cheating. to see what the well this yoga thing when we play a concert for an hour and a people are dancing and sweating already then we usually do a short break for us musicians and also for the people where we play very quiet music and below us there are 10 or 20000 people doing the exercises. today show is sold out but only 150 people are here all on math and socially distanced.

you have never done yoga but i heard about this when i was through i was during the pandemic you don't get to say any loud music and it's going to be very very excited because la presse band didn't only paint pictures with its music but landscapes and tough to get sight in a time when most if a had so much energy and this time too even if it was in a different way but they don't. it's an experiment the band wants to repeat. relaxing instead of being stressed by the time dammit. and from happy baby to tennis now and rafael nadal has beaten novak djokovic in a blockbuster showdown at the french open the spaniard won in straight sets 6 love 6275 to claim is 13th french open title equaling roger federer is all
