her surviving last. shuttle time starts nov 6th on g.w. . this is the news live from the new scenes 5 between armenia and azerbaijan comes into effect but because the fresh attempts of peace already failed there was fighting in the disputed nirvana carlebach region on sunday ahead of the ceasefire deadline we'll have the latest from our correspondents in the region also coming up . sheila celebrates after voting to replace the country's
11:01 am
constitution in a referendum that removes the last traces of the pinochet dictatorship. and after a week of mass protest the bella ruse of position could pass for a nationwide strike to force a battle leader alexander lukashenko to step down. and a new take on test track and trace for travelers arriving at finland's apple is the country's pioneering the use of sniffer dogs to test for corona virus researchers say the dots can identify the bios within seconds close to 100 percent accuracy. as welcome to the program a fresh attempt to enter the fighting between armenia and azerbaijan appears to have failed just minutes after a new cease fire came into effect monday morning both sides accused each other of
11:02 am
violating it the truce which was brokered by the united states was the 3rd attempts to end the conflict. the disputes it's gone across the region fighting broke out in the mountainous full weeks ago. well from the armenian capital here of on the. hills and joins us now on what's the latest on this that it's embassies 5. well at this hour we can confirm that there have been some violations of the cease fire i've spoken to reporters working in azerbaijan and they've confirmed to me that they've been hearing the sound of artillery strikes striking several locations around. in the last several hours now unfortunately at the moment we cannot confirm who is responsible for firing off those grenades and artillery salvos if you asked the azerbaijani government it's armenian forces who are sponsible for violating the
11:03 am
cease fire they say that they have been firing on their positions all morning of course here and yet of on we're getting a much different picture on the armenian forces say it is actually azerbaijani troops who are responsible for firing off of the artillery salvos you know we've seen several statements from both the government and also from the ministry of defense saying that they are prepared to continue to support the cease fire agreement and they're also actually choosing other by john of running what amounts to be a distant from ation campaign here in the region seen in that that they're trying to basically flood the networks with an accurate information and of course you know these dueling accusations is just making what was already a complex situation that much more complex. it's the u.s. that actually pushed to stop the fighting and what's behind those. well the u.s. is basically just joining in what is a broader push by the international community to sue for peace in the region between john and armenia and you have to remember this is the 3rd the cease fire
11:04 am
which was actually negotiated and apparently failed that we've seen the last several weeks in moscow was behind the 1st 2 attempts at brokering some type of a temporary peace and perhaps the on it's not entirely that surprising as one armenian who i spoke to yesterday actually put it in the united states a powerful influence a country but it's also very very far away and it's trying to influence a conflict with deep historical roots that stretch back decades if not centuries. you just mentioned the conflict dates back to the ele ninety's it's actually a wall that's older than the soldiers fighting it what's the mood like in armenia what are people saying about this well most of the armenians i've spoken to seem very very determined i mean it's easy to say that of course when this type of conflict starts people often rally around the flag there's a lot of patriotism that you can see and you can see that in the streets here i mean there's lots of people walking around in military uniforms you see armenian flags everywhere lots of advertisements on t.v.
11:05 am
on the radio encouraging people to support the troops but the people i've talked to take it a little bit further than that i mean i've talked to several parents of soldiers who are basically they were they were volunteers they weren't actually formally trained soldiers they got 2 or 3 days of training and then they were already sent to the front and of course these parents were incredibly proud of their children and many of the people i've been speaking to actually say it's more than just a patriotic duty they point to some of the ethnic lines that led up to the original conflict back in the ninety's saying that you know it's our responsibility to protect the armenians living in karbala and many of them go further back than that and they say this is still connected to the genocide of armenians back during the 1st world war and they basically frame it as saying this is about the survival of our culture in the region so the people i'm talking to some very very determined to see this conflict through our correspondent on tilton thank you thank you. well w's julia hahn has been finding out more about the civilian toll of the conflict she sent us this report from the town of daraa in azerbaijan that's about
11:06 am
20 kilometers from the frontline. if. you go far as the live shows us where he used to live until very recently. say a rocket hit his house in early october he says we're not so. far to go quite often they showed us. his home for 35 years burnt down to the walls. of their work or whatever the whole family was sitting here watching t.v. and suddenly there was an explosion in the backyard everything started burning we ran outside and called the fire fighters but when they arrived it was already too late for me to go. and memories. i

want to go for as early as is convinced that our 1000000 is responsible for the attack the neighboring country deliberately bombed many civilian targets in the area he says. we can't independently verify this we are not allowed to move freely near the front line we are only allowed to film with the as of a johnny authorities let us film. this school and bar for example even if it looks like it the children here are not students. they are refugees this has been an emergency shelters since the fighting started a month ago. was right at the entrance a memorial for a fallen azerbaijan. any soldier everyone here is convinced that their army is fighting for a just cause the school's vice principal doesn't believe that their votes have been
11:08 am
attacks on armenian surveillance. and laughed at us and then. i don't know much about what's happening on the armenian side i only know what i see on t.v. here but i can say that the armenians are losing and must retreat so they don't have any other options we are not trying to take armenian territory we are fighting for what belongs to us tentacle. has been at the school for a few weeks now with his wife and 3 granddaughters they are from tower tower right on the border with nagorno-karabakh lately the clashes there have intensified. i'm worried about the girls they're just kids they were so scared of the fighting how are they supposed to know what explosions are they should go to school and
11:09 am
study but they shouldn't have to learn what bombs and missiles are like women that . at the moment the children see for a few days about 20 kilometers from the front line but nobody knows when they will be able to return home or whether it will soon become too dangerous here tonight. to chile now where there were celebrations across the country on sunday after some 80 percent of voters backed the proposal to replace the nation's constitution with a new one for me it's a final repudiation of the 1980s military did dictatorship the referendum followed a year of widespread and often violent protests for better pensions education and health care. streets familiar with an arrest and now overcome by celebration. the supporters are jubilant sucking up
11:10 am
a result that will lead to the scrapping of chile's dictatorship era constitution. they had to sit down with it's amazing to be part of this historical moment to be able to vote to feel such pride of being part of this great change and of the results that are then helped us so that. they're like the truth is i'm delighted i'm very proud of the results and this is showing that this is what the people want and there's a very large majority oh yes. the president sebastian pinera who agreed to hold of it after months of social unrest says it's an opportunity to forge a new future for the nation. until now the constitution has divided us we must all work together so that the new constitution is the great framework of unity and stability. long lines and strict pandemic controls were a feature of voting day people are even urged to bring their own pens. today has
11:11 am
its roots in street protests that erupted late last year but it increases to public transport fares. it soon turned into a much bigger movement frustrated by inequality in shalane society. the current constitution was implemented during the dictatorship of the custer pinochet and many see it as something that prevents attempts to address poverty and inequality. it symbolizes the injustice that this country suffered and how the people rebelled against the constitution this puts an end to the dictatorship of pinochet and his chile's transformation to democracy. the plebiscite not only asked if the constitution should be scrapped but who should rewrite it. shalane strongly supported having it rewritten by a group of elected citizens rather than a mixture of politicians and citizens once the members are chosen they will begin

11:14 am
many of. those 2 days but most observers they don't expect much action from the aliment this is a voting session so that means any outcome that is binding for the government to members of parliament or to make such estimates of how to handle this current crisis and the government will follow them or not most protesters say they don't have much trust in the parliamentarian process anymore anyway since one of their made show opposition parties was dissolved earlier this year and also much opposition politicians were banned from politics or the thai king is also at this in the center of these protests he actually spends more time in germany then in thailand and protests is now say they would petition germany to investigate the king's use of his powers while he was in the country can you tell us more about that. yes pro-democracy activists they are currently on

their way to a rally in front of the chairman embassy in bangkok they are referring to a statement made by chairman nice foreign minister earlier this month mr moss said . many not once the thai king to make any political decisions regarding highland while he is in sherman eem from the chairman government's perspective that this it's of king that mama children come to germany a private so they think it is not appropriate for him to run his state business from german soil and pro-democracy activists they are now asking the german government to look into this issue more closely and to find out if the king has indeed conducted state business from chimney in the pasta and for them this is a question of accountability if the king is ruling time and i'm abroad they would
11:16 am
like to know about it. also royalists as well criticize the protest movement on social media and even threaten violence how divided is the country yet division is certainly their record on a few deaths today in front of the chairman embassy if this afternoon a group royalists off supports of the counting they got it's there for a small protest now decides the pro-democracy activists are on their way to the same venue so far the protests by the government supports us where much smaller than the protests by the pro-democracy activists but nevertheless it is clear that not everybody here in highland supports that the months are off the pro-democracy activists especially regarding the reform of the monarchy so those activists they can still expect significant resistance to months. in bangkok thank you.
11:17 am
you're watching the news still to come we'll take a look at the biggest legal team making had a great start to the new season just months after making the greatest game in the last. the 1st we go to villa rose well positioned figures are calling for a nationwide strike to go ahead today as they seek to increase pressure on hardline leader alexander lukashenko to step down and release all political prisoners it comes after more than 800000 protesters took to the streets of the capital minsk and other cities for the 11th consecutive week and security forces fired stun grenades at demonstrators and arrested hundreds the opposition excuses for the shank of rigging his reelection in august. that's now go to journalist hunted in a bare rose tell us what are you hearing about the general strike op people actually staying up at home. well there are different kind of
11:18 am
directions in 4 months 4 months that the strike is taken basically the rock plans in minsk and all over the country that joined the nationwide strike it's really hard to assess the actual scale but in the morning we saw the dogs and so workers at each of these large state enterprises were outside or they were inside but there they were just marching just just kind of rallying walking and kind of not what not working also if you didn't join the strike and there are really like hundreds of them in minsk and in grodno in some other cities over the country that are also kind of protesting that a strike and they have been detained right now at the moment there are also private companies i.t. companies that the joint the strike or some cafe's some shops so it's happening and i think it will be on the kind of growing only increasing. well public service
11:19 am
employees and civil servants have been threatened with being fired if they oppose the government that has any effect on the walcott. of course that's the only the kind of the main reasons why this is not i would say massive at this stage because people are always the scared while the right examples that there have been already examples of workers who have been arrested and will run people that they are of course scared also people who are fired it also depends on crowd funding efforts of on these funds who are trying to make sure that workers who receive compensation for are the fog of their fires or they were jailed so there is kind of cool in infrastructure that was below it's to kind of hope for those workers and it also depends on kind of the success on this feed. of how the they are able to
11:20 am
deliver this help. very briefly the court has been going on for 3 months now where do you see them going i don't see they would decrease because people are defined people are resilient of of course people are tied at the same time no demand of people was mapped and people obviously have a whole reason to show their discontent so i see those protests continuing journalist. reporting from below thank you so much. you're of tries to contain a 2nd wave of the corona virus pandemic one of the most important tools is testing for the presence of covert 90 but testing is expensive and time consuming and many health authorities are struggling with capacity researches in finland working on much on a much cheaper but still reliable alternative to surviving a finnish apples can opt to be tested by a specially trained sniffer dogs. for

11:22 am
percent accuracy helsinki airport is hosting a pilot project through december that will include cross referencing canine results with those for medical devices if you talk to the skin so here it just takes a simple swab from a restore neck. and this is terrible yes and a couple of seconds a dog can tell immediately if a person has contract it coronavirus and. so a receiver that gets you is on the voluntary tests are proving popular but no positive signal yet from the finished government about scaling up the program so since dogs are incredibly war effective much less expensive and far less intrusive than other ways of detecting the virus why aren't public authorities everywhere rushing to use their noses instead of ours we found one who is. is deputy mayor of vaughan the site of the airport i got to do it in 2 minutes took
11:23 am
me 2 minutes out and get this budget covers the free tests offered to all arriving passengers he allocated 330000 euros total to the 4 month dog study meanwhile he expects it will cost up to $300000000.00 euros per month for the medical option the nasal swab it's quite expensive operation of course but the docs are like $75000.00 a month. to says the data from this study should help bring in federal funds for expansion of canine testing as well as legal adjustments to upgrade the virus sniffing dogs authority to that of their counterparts working in customs because i write about idaho which i like that they can. assist and they go to many let people be both on a human bjorkman is thinking far beyond. airports we could train dogs with the same samples with the same trainers to open up. you know the
11:24 am
concert halls or or be fair is or go to big working places hospitals or elderly homes football matches whatever both your comment and bobby line and mourn if dylan doesn't harness the potential of the dog program itself they'll unleash and elsewhere because she loves that. she says health authorities from all over the world want to learn what these noses know . let's bring in our correspondent. report terri sounds like a brother brilliant idea why is dogs not more widely used we really don't know and even after being in helsinki and speaking to the people who are running the pilot project they don't know dr him bjorkman admits that she didn't go the usual academic route once she found out the dogs could do this she said her 1st thought was to get them to the borders to start saving lives and she knew there may
11:25 am
be a price to pay in academia later for not you know doing tests in the lab and getting peer reviewed but she thought that it was much more important to get the dogs on the scene and start detecting the coronavirus but you know when you hear the deputy mayor say i'm paying $3000000.00 euros per month for the nasal swabs and just tens of thousands for the dogs it really makes you wonder where's the holdup here and also what about other countries is finland the only country to do this kind of research. actually the united arab emirates is right up there with finland and may even have put the dogs into the airports 1st they used police dogs in a one week test and found a similar level of accuracy remember we're talking about almost 100 percent accuracy for these tests so far but an interesting case is germany because the veterinary school at the university of hanover also came up with the same results that dogs could detect very effectively and the researcher there told me that
11:26 am
politicians would come and look at the results and say oh that's fascinating and then nothing would happen so. when thinks that perhaps doctors just don't want to give up the power to dog handlers that's how she explains it but the other much a limb of the cases continue to rise well i'm talking to you right now from a country in belgium where it has some of the worst coded rates in the entire world and now they've told us that you they're not even going to test people who are not symptomatic because they can't keep up with processing times so it one would think that everybody would be looking for ways to test faster and and effectively and this is again just a matter of seconds and susana paatelainen who is the one who rescued kids he says you know it's her dream that everybody wakes up to this as as an effective method and that she can go rescue thousands of dogs from shelters and turn them into life savers but a lot of that will depend on this pilot project that they're doing now and how well they can prove that the dog test match up with the p.c.r.
11:27 am
test the nasal swabs and they hope that by the end of december they will have hard data to present on just how well the dogs can do with papers that they can prove to politicians how effective they are. used to. thank you. it was indeed on the news live from berlin the kris kobach is next he has the latest business headlines for you and let me get all the latest news and information on the blog on the website that stood up in the gulf thanks for.
