10:01 am
class. plus. socialist candidate. is expected to win the country's presidential election with. first point of the season on the board but they're still. good to have you with us there being clashes between armenia and azerbaijan despite a humanitarian ceasefire agreed last saturday in the disputed nagorno-karabakh region both sides accused each other by leaving the agreement just hours after it came into force it was the 2nd attempt at armistice in a week hundreds have died and thousands have been displaced since fighting flared
10:02 am
last month over the territory. from the front line but not far enough. a makeshift shrine in a residential district of ganja. a community torn apart. as if they were my friends and close acquaintances you can't grasp just how much my heart is bleeding. at least 13 people died here in azerbaijan 2nd biggest city on saturday back who accuses armenia of launching the attack death and despair in the corner carabao to a ceasefire announced by the 2 sides after saturday's deadly attack in ganja proved short lived and fighting resumed soon afterwards the disputed region has been controlled by separatist ethnic armenians since 1994 but it remains an
10:03 am
internationally recognized part of azerbaijan. armenia denies any involvement in the ganja or attack and accuses backer of continuing to shell heavily populated areas and cite nagorno-karabakh. this man and schuster says these are a very rockets forever so we are respecting the ceasefire but are we as a by johnny's respecting it where is the ceasefire don't look they're firing sure she is full of these rockets this is prohibited ammunition. as tensions between azerbaijan and armenia escalate fears are growing that russia and turkey could be drawn into a regional war. let's bring in. who is in the gun joe that's the 2nd city yulia once again the truce between armenia and azerbaijan has been broken what more can you tell us. the fighting
10:04 am
has continued despite as you mentioned a new ceasefire agreement despite calls from around the world to stop and what we're seeing once again is armenia and azerbaijan blaming each other for breaching that deal i'm in gunja it's home to more than 300000 people real for ready we've already seen some images in the report him missing leveled several homes here in this residential area on saturday you also mentioned that send what you can see there right behind me are several buildings old to 2 level buildings basically who were reduced to rubble as you can see. according to the official information we have 13 people were killed here including
10:05 am
2 children teenage girl and a baby the authorities both in armenia and in azerbaijan are denying that there are deliberately targeting civilians but residential areas like this one have increasingly come on there are shelling now you can see the destruction here all around. just shows you even though gunfire is really far away from the from line it shows you that it's civilians who are paying a very heavy price here for this war in any car armed conflict of course it's very difficult to verify the claims being made by. what's your experience trying to cover this. we are not moving around here independently we have been given access we have been allowed to come here to azerbaijan by the authorities in baquba they have set up an infrastructure for
10:06 am
media for international journalists to cover this crisis to cover their side of the conflict we have been assigned a driver and a contact affiliated with the government they are accompanying us all the time wherever we go to. this is so they say for our own safety and security but it also limits what we can see what we hear and what we can report on in general i have the impression that it's nearly impossible to get an objective point of view on this conflict from both sides because this is not just a war in the battlefield it's also a war of words and a war of perceptions we're seeing a lot of claims and denials to dismissals accusations counter accusations are being traded so it's very difficult to get to the truth armenia and azerbaijan have been locked in this mainly frozen conflicts over nagorno-karabakh for decades are people in jail where you are concerned that this fighting that we're seeing now put
10:07 am
escalate into all out war. well many people have left this area but those who still stay in come here are visibly under shock there is pain there is grief but there's also a lot of anger many here are openly blaming the armenian military for deliberately targeting civilians and they say they expect their government to retaliate now add to this the history decades of mistrust between the 2 countries and a firm belief here among the population in azerbaijan that this piece of land is rightfully theirs has been right for the this for nearly 30 years so many tell us they see this as a chance to retake this piece of land there is also no sign of backing down on the political lever level here in azerbaijan so from where i'm standing now here this latest ceasefire the truce doesn't seem to be turning things into a more peaceful direction. thank you very much for your reporting and for bringing

us up to date there that was. reporting from. hugh. police in france say they've searched dozens of homes belonging to islamist militants the raids are in connection with last week's beheading of a teacher in paris so he had used cartoons of the muslim prophet muhammad to teach students about freedom of expression a suspect was shot dead shortly after by police on sunday people across france took to the streets in parties memory. thousands of people came to the plaster live after bleak in paris to show their solidarity with slain teacher samuel patten it was here where large groups also gathered following the 2015 charlie hebdo attacks . but today people will sign saying just say no or i am a teacher. many came here to grave but also to protest they felt compelled to speak

10:12 am
at a boxing club in toulouse that is known to be close to the islam is seen by don't see what's really interesting and what will be interesting to see is how these 11 people that are currently in police custody are connected to this and knew about his plans really you know these 11 people include some family members friends but also at the father of the girl who went to that class by the teacher and who then that father then posted a video online and that video online that really caused a lot of reaction and we believe calls the attacker to attack the teacher a few days back you mentioned the french prime minister joined one of those rallies how is the government dealing with the situation in policy terms. well the government really wants to show that it will react they are now talking
10:13 am
about maybe a deck to a new door on secularism that was published a few weeks back and and strengthening it read that law is supposed to better control his ations that might be close to islamist to the islamist scene and also train the country's own in moms that are for now often coming from countries such as turkey and mark morocco and algeria there's also talk about strengthening laws to better control hate speech online and the interior minister has said that the country would soon expelled tonight and $31.00 farnaz immigrants without a legal status here in france that are known to be reactive lysa the government really wants to show that it is reacting and taking matters into its hand lisa thank you very much for bringing us up to date there that was the w's lisa lewis in perth. to thailand where pro-democracy protests are continuing in the capital bangkok as despite government attempts to quash the demonstrations on sunday tens

10:15 am
protests alernative protesters are learning is the sort of hong kong chopsticks of leaderless approach that conducting a lot of their organizational line today they're actually having a vote on line as to whether to hold protests or whether to take or take a day off and all this is part of keeping the police on their own on edge and really not giving the many heads up as to what their plans are until just shortly before people actually can birch how worried are authorities about the situation. they are very worried and they're very surprised that the measures they've taken so far have not had any effect apart from as i mentioned apparently to increase support for the protesters the government is led by former generals who staged a coup in 2014 although they are now in government under a elected system and they are you know used to people following their orders what they're doing now is switching the battle for them they're trying to go online they
10:16 am

10:19 am
resigned and fled the country after last year's ballot. celt could take days but louise and his socialist party have already claimed victory based on the exit poll cyclists is i want to of course congratulate the believe in people. we have taken in fairly important step forward today. it was a. move it was we have recovered democracy. and recovered hard ready. let's bring in. it is good to see you so what is our say referring to when he talks about bringing back democracy well we can't detach this whole process from the figure of every
10:20 am
moralist the former president he came to power in 2006 and was very fond of being the president of bolivia that's why he tried to stay in power through constitutional change 1st he tried to do a referendum he lost the referendum but then he tried to force it or actually successfully enforce a constitutional change through the judiciary system and the majority in parliament so he could be reelected this is what happened last year he actually won that election but there are severe allegations that the election was not completely clean and that is why this revolution started in bolivia if you will or at least very intense protests and that forced. opposition party to actually came to power to come to power and to take on the government of this interim government that bolivia has right now so when the candidate of evill morales party at least talks about recovering democracy he is talking about the return of the party over what i
10:21 am
was to the government in bolivia which he legitimately of course considers the true political movement that should run the country ok us a has come through this election with the over 50 percent of the vote we are told if his victory is confirmed what would that mean for the country well it will mean the return of the socialist party to the government let's not forget that even though bolivians probably said no to have a model is they did not say no to the socialist project of the country and the figure of us if we look at him is also very important he was the economy minister for the majority of the government of able more. so that means he will continue the policies that very successfully let the bolivian economy grow and that also benefited the indigenous communities which are crucial of course to the country's culture and economy as well. is an exile he wants to come back his party is looks like it's going to be back in power could. return that is the big question the
10:22 am
current government said that what i was will definitely not return to the country even if the socialist party wins the election now of course this will be a stress test for the whole system in bolivia not only of course the democracy which now appears to have had a clean and fair process but especially the judiciary system will there be a proper investigation about what happened in the election if there was fraud and will there be an independent power of deciding whether what i just can return to the country or not that is what we are just about to see terry very interesting good to see you thanks for being with us javier get this. well here in europe many countries have brought in new restrictions to counter a 2nd wave of coronavirus complicating matters is the change in weather with cold and flu season on the way here in germany this year's rollout of the flu injection
10:23 am
is serving as a test run for an eventual coronavirus vaccine. little pinprick that protects against the flu and helps make sure the health system won't be overwhelmed doctors . spread flu outbreak alongside a new wave of covert 19. flu vaccinations is higher this year than usual. scared and that means that they are much more willing to get vaccinated. a flu jab is usually recommended for those over 60 pregnant women people with preexisting conditions and medical workers but this year of the vaccination is available to everyone who wants one. german health minister says anyone who wants to have themselves and their children vaccinated should and can do so but if everyone in germany decides to get a flu jab there won't be enough of the vaccine to go round. if we just vaccinate
10:24 am
anyone who wants the done it's quite possible that the people who really need it may not be able to get a vaccine at all in the end would be ethically and medically wrong. to avoid that outcome the vaccination commission recommends that high risk patients be vaccinated 1st than the rest of the population germany has never used up all its available vaccines nevertheless this year the flu vaccination will serve as a test run for an eventual corona vaccination. learn how a covert $1000.00 vaccination program might work from how influenza vaccinations go this year we'll probably vaccinate the same risk groups 1st will have much less of the vaccine at 1st compared to the influenza vaccine so we'll probably have to vaccinate gradually starting with those who need it most and this was. you can see the flu vaccine as a kind of test for the population. the states and the medical profession are hoping to learn valuable lessons from this year's flu season and how to prioritize future
