ethnic armenians since 1994 but it remains an 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 areas there iraq it's for real we are respecting the cease fire but are the as a by johnnie's respecting it where is the ceasefire don't look they're firing that shiz all 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. well let's take you now to do you have a user yulia who is in gander right now that everything that we just featured in our reports yulia 1st of all another stillborn

a truce what went wrong. well ameena and as a by john are blaming each other for breaching the latest ceasefire agreement the fighting continues from what we understand there are free from so long the line of contact between the 2 countries right now the heaviest clashes are taking place east and south of nucor no occur above i'm in gunja right now is a by john 2nd largest city dozens of kilometers away from new cool new car about but a missile struck an leveled several residential homes homes in this residential area on a sadder day what you can see there behind me used to be 2 story buildings but as you can see they have been reduced to rubble at least 13 people were killed including children many wounded officials tell us here and this all comes while

both ameena and azerbaijan dismiss deliberately targeting civilian areas but as we see residential areas like this one have come under increasing shelling in the past days and weeks and it's civilians here who are paying a very heavy price for this rule. this conflict has been going on for many decades and we saw the people there caught in the crossfire that you featured in your report house fearful are they that a full fledged war is about to happen anytime now. well people we talk to here in gunja who have lived in this area or who know people were killed or are visibly still in shock there is a lot of pain and grief but there is also a lot of anger instead of fear rather i have to say many people here tell us that

they blame the armenian military for deliberately targeting civilians and they expect their government to retaliate to take revenge i just met one young man who says he voluntarily signed up to the army to go to the front line and he is happy to go there to join the war when they ask him to do so now you have to take into consideration the history of this conflict decades of mutual distrust between the 2 countries and many people here in azerbaijan tell me that they think this piece of land and the surrounding areas are rightfully that and this is the moment in history to retake this piece of land so it's rather determination and anger then fear that i can sense here when talking to people. there reporting for you from us about john well back here in germany the leading brawlers just are warning

that the spread of the coronavirus to europe could get out of control if rates of infection pass a certain threshold or cases of covert 90 have been rising exponentially across europe spurring several countries to introduce fresh measures to combat the viruses spread in germany which have comparatively few cases of coronavirus earlier this year the debates has now erupted about how to deal with a 2nd ways. this landscape in other years makes headlines as one of germany's most picturesque locations but in 2020 it makes headlines for being home to the latest district that's going into lockdown after a particularly high kovac 1000 numbers were recorded there germany has been seeing record numbers of new cases in the last few days more than 7000 a day the 2nd wave is well underway the various premium are considered

a warns against losing control over the virus he wants more drastic measures masks should be compulsory nationwide in risk areas and he wants more power to be transferred to berlin an unusual position for a state premier. i'm a firm believer in federalism but i believe that we're beginning to see the limits of federalism we have to consider transferring more power currently held by the regions to the central government so that we have a uniform framework because this is where germany's anti corona measures are decided at balance chancellery in regular summits between chancellor merkel and the 16 heads of the country's regions but the results of the last summit have had a short shelf life some measures were overturned by courts only a few days later a berlin court for instance suspended a planned curfew for pubs and restaurants. and many say this emergency format should be abolished altogether. because the turkish current situation is no longer

acceptable the chancellor and the heads of regions decide to massively curb our freedoms and they negotiate behind closed doors the laws of our country say that this job is done by parliament element. critics believe anglo machall is losing control of the situation she resorts to have video podcast germans to help flatten the curve. we must do everything we can to stop the virus from spreading uncontrollably every day counts hark the virus for its part is literally tightening its grip on german politicians president steinmeyer remains in quarantine after one of his bodyguards tested positive and afternoon lurch by the corona tracing up the german minister for labor hubertus heil has decided to self quarantine and is now working from home. here and also with the other stories making news around the world. iran has recorded its worst day of corona virus deaths with

337 fatalities confirmed on my day there are now more than half a 1000000 confirmed cases in iran the country's health ministry says the current situation is due to fewer people wearing face masks and more engaging in high social behaviors. police in france have searched dozens of homes belonging to suspected islamist militants the raids are linked to last week's beheading of a teacher and pears he had used her tombs of the muslim prophet muhammad in a lesson about freedom of expression police shot dead the alleged perpetrator. guinea's main opposition leader showroom delhi diaw lula has declared himself winner of the country's hotly contested presidential election or delaware claimed a 1st round victory over incumbent alpha condé based on his own party's count and

did not provide any numbers on day was seeking a controversial 30 home in the election. and will have much more on these controversial presidential race in our africa show coming up later this hour but 1st votes are still being counted in bolivia's presidential election but exit polling suggests that leftist candidate luis r.c. is one of bolivia was deeply divided ahead of the election that pitted arcee and his nearest rival carlos mesa arcee is a close ally of the former bolivian president evo morales whom stand down last year and fled into exile after claiming victory in a disputed election that has been an alt. all right or we can take you now to a law passed say bolivia didn't use your 100 i'm here as is standing by for you you know if the r.c.s. victory in this election does indeed get to rubberstamp what would it mean for the country. if victoria flues are saying this election

would mean and the spectacular coming back off around this party to the bar where we have to remember just a year ago we were in the same city and there were the hundreds of thousands of people in the streets protesting against alison asking for his resignation and one year later later he's his party is suddenly again into power so does is incredible and mr house already recognized the results so wait in just for the announcement of the electronic court it's just a formality there are some supporters of flues are saying here in front of his headquarters. this is like a party for them and we just saw this r.c. coming in to his headquarters so the victorious it's almost official actually a very a remarkable comeback by the left in bolivia you know what are the most urgent

pressing issues facing the people of the libya. there are 2 main change challenges for the new president one of them is the economy because of the pandemic bolivia has been shaken to the roots on 30 percent of unemployment and the economy of this country has decreased 7 percent in this year so economy is going to be the big challenge for our side but also to reunite this country believe historically has been divided and during the 14 years. of even without this this division was rainforest so that is also a huge challenge for the new president and you had of course the question on everybody's mind this does this victory potential victory work the return of mr abel morales yeah this is very popular in this country but also very controversial so i don't know how

close these are sad ones to governor with able morale is especially because right now he has many many investigations against him because of corruption for example or even i case off by the philia so that's a good question of how close he wants to to to govern or maybe he's going to have a little bit of this dance especially at the beginning all right i've got 30 seconds left i mean what does this mean for the region. is the coming back of the left wing in latin america we have seen in the last few years hard left wing have been loose in many countries many governments in latin america and coming back off a mass here in bolivia would mean a new ally for governments like nikkor are the regime of nicolas mother or even a spoiler for example one of them yes the reporting for you from la paz bolivia thank you. and

a reminder now of the top story there we're tracking for you this hour armenia and azerbaijan trading blame for the breakdown of another ceasefire that's been continued fighting for the last 3 weeks over the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh hundreds of people asking can't. he watches over news from berlin business news coming up next followed by the question . of. combating the corona pandemic. where does research stand. what are scientists learning. background information and news. hour carona update. covert 19 special and next on d w the 2020 u.s. election on g.w. . here in atlanta georgia we're looking at an issue that voting rights groups say is that big problem voter suppression making it harder for some people to vote and

with many georgians already casting their ballot the stakes are high. we have that story for you today and you know you see. the coronavirus pandemic has exposed the divisions in our societies. time and again we see the economic background effects the likelihood of one catching cold 19 people from less wealthy communities are more likely to have jobs that put them in harm's way. working from home meanwhile is mostly the preserve of white collar employees or members of society to the face more risk of exposure living in tight quarters and finding distance. luxury. existing health problems also make the

coronavirus more dangerous to the poorer parts of society. so what can be done to close the gap how can we ensure that everyone has the same chance of escaping the virus. welcome to georgia velasco 1000 special i'm stephen beardsley in berlin good to have you with us work housing preexisting health conditions all play a role in our exposure to the corona virus as well as our vulnerability to the illness that develops from it that's what experts say it's also the lived experience of many in the pandemics hardest hit neighborhoods take a look. at pen-y. and his friend are looking for a crave the one that belongs to their friend danny he may have died of corona virus has doesn't know for certain but downey is one of 41 friends that he's lost in the past 6 months all except one are black.

for words. because you know. what closed. is a popular figure in the north london borough of hiring the 62 year old pensioner worked as a lecturer at the nearby university and does volunteer work where he can for example at a food charity for those in need he says he's seen how the black asian minority ethnic are being community has been especially affected by the pandemic. disproportionately in terms of numbers and that's why the bits and there's. a report in june by britain's department of health reasons for the many deaths among ethnic minorities as indispensable workers in hospitals food markets are taxi drivers they're more exposed to the virus also housing conditions are often cramped risk factors such as diabetes or being overweight are also more widespread the

chairman of the council of the british medical association is familiar with what has this experiencing and warns that the deaths will continue with the 2nd wave. it is that any government in any nation to protect its population protect those that work lack of any action plan the lack of any implementation of clear recommendations that were made. is extremely concerning. can't find his friends grave only close family members were allowed to attend his funeral. hasn't been able to say goodbye to any of his 41 friends who've died. that report mentioned some of the risk factors facing poor communities during the pandemic type recorders preexisting health conditions and frontline jobs let's take a closer look at that last factor jobs for the breakdown of job categories by the percentage of employees who can work remotely based on a study from the o.e.c.d.

at the top. business administration with a whopping 3 quarters of workers able to stay home roughly in the middle teaching professionals and down at the very bottom also jobs that are considered low skilled like sanitation and cleaning now there are a mere one percent of workers able to do it from home and even that's hard to imagine. and i'm joined now by ricardo a spinoza he's a policy analyst at the o.e.c.d. center for skills and paris ricardo's good to have you with us is it fair to say that the better educated you are the more likely you are to be off the front lines you know absolutely so we found that there's a lot of evidence showing that when it comes to tell you a range of those who are this is a higher level say resemble those who have a tertiary cation degree tomorrow much more likely to be able to work from home so . you know we see decent risk research about these issues and not only that we also

try to help countries to all repair and. there are part of the skills divide between those who can afford to stay home those who can perhaps there's already skills divide before the pandemic wasn't there. absolutely so we've been hearing about the risk of automation or long time right so people are going to gradually be on a weekly machines now the problem is that this pandemic might even accelerate this trend so you think of commons up to this and then try to automate as many dollars in order to protect themselves. against prices like this or a potential out there and then in the future so any but context it is very likely that those jobs or are currently performed by people who as a lower level skills are likely to be automated 1st so in that sense i think that you have to map it and then it most people will probably. occur even much more than

those this is highlighting the skills so widening the gap between hire and. what is the potential for retraining those who might be replaced by automated workers as you said. yeah absolutely so i think this is going to be a center if they did so i think they have to distinguish in the long term and in the short term i think the short term there's the scope of governance for companies to implement certain policies 1st of all to retain as many jobs possible but also. to promote example. in managerial practices to share in i don't so management practices in order to allow workers to work from home but it is so in the long term this will not be possible without thinking of a strategy to abseil and risk you'll the opposition so that's why strengthening our learning system in general movie at the center of the debate and countries are

working on and passing these large recovery bills right now have you seen any effort to already begin this conversation or at least even a funding for some of this retraining or is it too early. simply countries are reaching out to the personal to help to help i think the 1st episode help identify those were theirs and i think research once in that direction i think would have pursuant to other workers. high risk in the west we're able to identify it's a church to target the right incentives right measures were those. so you know this is actually a trend that we've seen over the past month or so countries are wary about this question of very short term they're looking at retaining as many jobs but once the pandemic sort of they'd say next i mean we'll see countries doing more and more to strengthen their out of it. and they're really worried about this and this is something we should do in the coming years can we say that people will always be

needed for those frontline jobs those those working with their hands kind of jobs that can't really be automator telework out of. a movie so that there will be many jobs will not be automated right so i think it will be a transitional say which can take and 1520 years to move it which we will need a lot of many of this sort of management but the question is what do we do with this so i think we have to guarantee that these people are able to return and say it took that replaces but also we need to be able to believe you are able to move to a situation where they can move and so that's why it's killing enemies killing hiring a crane skills to move to different positions who will be at the center of the debate and press up in 3 countries to to achieve all right a crisis that's still developing right now of course some long term questions correspond with o.e.c.d. breaking down force thank you very much. right now it's time

for your questions the part of the show where our sort of science correspondent eric williams as the questions you posted to our you tube channel over to you derek . how long is the incubation period for covert 19. 1 of the reasons this virus turned into such a big problem so quickly it was not just that it's pretty contagious the corona virus that causes sars for example seems to be just as contagious as sars co 2 if not even a little more so but that epidemic petered out and the pathogen basically disappeared after around 6 months so so why didn't the same happen with this virus well to answer that we have to look at their respective incubation period that's the amount of time that passes between the moment of infection and the time when a patient begins to show symptoms so in other words the moment when you know that

person is sick in both diseases health authorities say the incubation period is similar ranging from between $2.14 days and with an average of about 5 days the interesting thing though is not the length of the incubating period but what happens during it with sars patients generally hit their peak infectious period after they had begun to show symptoms and they didn't really seem to pass the virus along to others during the incubation period when they were unaware that they were carrying the pathogen so we were able to contain that virus effectively with isolation and quarantine in measures and that's a key difference between it and source code too with covert 19 research shows that patients are contagious or maybe even most contagious in the last couple of days of their incubate period so before they begin to show symptoms themselves and experts say those few critical days are all. one of the big reasons that will be unable to

get $900.00 control without a vaccine. or science correspondent there and don't forget that you can post your questions to derek on our you tube channel and if you'd like to keep up with the latest developments on the coronavirus to subscribe to our newsletter just log on to dot com slash corona newsletter. and finally when we end with some good news rare pink dolphins are making a comeback in the waters between hong kong and macau after ferry service was suspended due to pandemic scientists say the dolphins population has fallen by 70 to 80 percent in the past 15 years and one of the world's most industrialized estuaries this year their numbers a bounce back as the pandemic disturbance to their habitat researchers say numbers are up by a 3rd in the area since march. all
