it's still unclear who is responsible for the mass killings follow days of clashes between federal troops and to ground forces. the region has become the latest flashpoint, stemming from ethiopia's complex, if not politics, to grinds control, central government for 30 years. but their power has waned under prime minister ahmed. he came to power in 2018. increasing resentment in tensions became open. defiance in september, went to grab, rejected the central government's authority and held its own elections. now the feud has descended into conflict with the government going to crush what it calls a rebellion. if the decider looks to me, it is taught and fugitive and brought to justice.

as civilians flee, he is amounting that ethiopia could be at the beginning of a protracted and bloody civil war. and let's go now to the ethiopian capital, addis ababa, where journalists get us standing by. samuel, thanks for joining us. it's very hard for us solders and journalists to get into the region and report. what's the latest you can tell us? it's not just difficult to get into to the state. it's impossible. we don't have access, but we can rely on the echoes that are being echoed in sudan with the victims. moved to the sudan and even amnesty international. and the human rights commissioner at the un who is who grew up in the era of our country knows really what is. so everybody is calling for a full investigation. but one has to know the last 27 years, the t.t.p. and the government with them are

a failed ethnic. federalism has totally destroyed everyone. everyone is attached to their ethnic backgrounds instead of this in ship. and this is exactly where it's headed in this conflict as you've been suggesting, has been simmering for a while with the arguments being advanced. and why did it blow up now? all of a sudden well to take you to, to have you understand where your peers, tepee and while they're in government, there is not some kind of freedom fighters. they've been in government for 27 years . they have a record of human rights abuses of democracy and all kinds of stuff. so when it came to power in 2018, he had different ideas, different reforms, and these 2 against it and they lost power and they went back to to cry. and they've been ignoring their constitution of the country, for example, holding an election that the government said is illegal and even refusing to accept

up appointments, coming from arkansas. so if this was expected to happen, and there are reports of fighting spilling over into neighboring regions, the tea growing rebels, contesting or fighters, i should say contesting the authority, the central government could this become a civil war? i can't make that prediction. but it seems it's headed for many germans. this reminds them of the 40 year image of the taliban. charmin, a long, long time ago. every one, when the germans helped ethiopia come to a different status, have always counted on to go beyond this kind of conflicts. and i'm certain, i'm almost certain from what i hear. it has elements of civil war, unfortunately. all right, well thank you for that insight and hoping things don't tend to go that way any

further journalists and you'll get it you and that is. thank you for that. thank you. earlier this week, a peace agreement put an end to a month and a half long, bitter conflict between azerbaijan and armenia. it calls for armenians to leave large parts of a long disputed nagorno-karabakh region. that has provoked outrage in armenia, where people see themselves betrayed by their government and by russia, which oversaw the deal one last look before leaving it all behind. while their home might still be somewhat intact, after 6 weeks of conflict, their right to live, there is not. now many armenian residents of the cabbage or region are intentionally burning their homes before they're forced to hand them over to their enemies. after decades raising their families here and fighting to keep the territory, the new peace deal says it's time to leave in

the end, we will blow up or put a fire to all of this. we will not leave anything to them. here i didn't want us gone now the children in armenia are crying, they want to return home. it's hard, this depth of sorrow. for decades, the nagorno-karabakh region has been the source of bloody conflict between the 2 countries. under the ceasefire agreement signed by the leaders of azerbaijan and armenia, and russia on tuesday, as a by john will regain control of the calibers, our region, and several other areas. as armenians their fleet, many say they want to know why russia has abandoned them. is this good seize

it was soviet russia that originally declared nagorno-karabakh part of azerbaijan, 100 years ago. but the majority of people who lived there remained armenians. now under the new russian brokered peace deal, that is set to change defending the new deal. putin is calling for a humanitarian response to the chaos. the conflict has unleashed a group. but it might turn our attention to the serious humanitarian problems in the nagorno-karabakh region that we are over. 4000 civilians were victims to the fighting over, 8000 were injured estimates show the number of refugees is in the 10s of thousands . armenians are furious with russia and their own government for signing the deal since it was announced on tuesday, thousands have taken to the streets of year of on daily to demand prime minister,

nicole pasha. neon resign. as this latest turn in history plays out. people on both sides are mourning the thousands who have died in just the past 6 weeks of battle for control of nagorno karabakh. supporters of u.s. president donald trump are gathering in washington to protest against election results that they say are fraudulent. the outgoing president made an appearance at the demonstration with his motorcade driving through the crowds on the way to his golf course. the demonstrators say electoral fraud, denied truck victory last week, but federal prosecutors overseeing the vote and state election officials say that is not the case. our large number of police officers has been deployed to prevent clashes with anti trump demonstrators meeting near by. and stephan simons is at the rally in washington. stephan, thanks for being there. what can you tell us about the kind of people gathering where you are almost up out of the picture here for

a 2nd american. see this crowd. those are the america people. this are, this is the trump base, which are seeing marching from freedom plaza. here down and do you see down there way reform, where they're coming into the other direction camera could show you that way. way, way, way down there is capitol hill. and this is where they're going to go to the supreme court and why this of course clear because none of those people here is ok. and just sort of get up. i can remember, you know, we all, wonderful. i of course, are adamant about that this election is not over. there's a handout newspaper here. that's right. and it certainly looks to far from over that sums it up what those people believe or what they're protesting for here. now, what you don't see is people of supremacist, gangs,

militia people. there are a few groups present here. they're speakers also, and then i mean go in here and this is where it's becoming dangerous and very, very unpleasant because there's also, of course protests from the left from anti trump crowds scheduled here, and they will well, hopefully not meet. and that's the job of the police to keep them apart. actually, before this getting out of hand, you quite a sizable crowd as you can see, photos like for 3 or 4000 people. yeah. marching, gathering here and now marching over there. ok, well listen, sit and we can all see that you are wearing a mask, you seem to be in the minority as a right to assume that social distancing roles are not being respected by trump supporters. yeah, of course. that is, i mean, normally of course take almost all for you on television though. it's just nice to see you. to see the show your face then for the viewers. but this is not only the sole slot mega 1000000 march. this is a mega spread of events,

it is no social distancing. there was no thought of this a thing where there were all congregated at the plaza. there won't be any social distancing when they're up there doing the same thing and mass. i would say a 1st of the crowd cheers for mass. and that's where we are at in the country, which has $160000.00 infections just the other day per day. with hospital space running, running low death rates rising and so on. so there you have it. i'm wearing my mask for a reason, and just briefly they don't seem to be a lot of people of color in the demonstration is significant in any way. there never has been any significant amount of people of color in any trump rally or, or event. as far as i can remember, and i have been on a few a few. so there will be,

there are some of course don't chime had some african-american votes. of course, i'm not sure that there will come to this place. and to this protest here, because let me stress again, this is not just the trump crowd, the mega heads, red has make america great again, etc. what you don't see here, but what is in town, are white supremacists, klu klux klan, nazis right wing groups who have their leaders. their leaders have promoted this event and have said they will be coming and standing by with their people. and we have already seen a march of the so-called crowd voice supremacy groups marching here through the sea. and now moving in, you getting into the crowd. going up to capitol hill. ok. salman's reporting live from washington. thank you for that insight. and your of course watching d.w. news live from berlin. we'll have more headlines for you at the top of the hour.

and remember, you can always stay up to date on our web site that's dot com. i'm in the entire news team here in berlin, and watch out for happiness. cheers for everyone. schumann penises are very different from primates. we have a totally ridiculous sized view of nature. david and this is climate change. crisis, sex. happiness includes books. you get smarter for free, you know, but you books are neutral, is for me, is for beethoven is for me,

is for beethoven is for beethoven is for the freemont beethoven 2020 vision of the 50th anniversary year on d. w. doing the dishes, folding laundry and packing. a lunch box scientists, i explored in the different ways in which robots could help us. how exactly could robots shape our everyday lives while a topic on ship today to pan produces around 50 percent of the world's robots. no wonder it's called the robot nation. this is even an official government scheme that focuses on a new industrial revolution through robotics. but robots are commonplace in many

other areas too. in japan, where nearly 30 percent of the population is 65 or older, robots are more important for personal use. is your rosy ishiguro a world leading roboticist on why? when you can have them one robot that can help i believe they can help to the robot that kind of a robot society, the same human symbiotic in the end of the society. thing, you know, feature symbiotic robots. that sounds a little too was science fiction need to me. still, many tech companies claim that their own butts can really make a difference in house work, but this is still far ahead in the future, even in japan. at the moment, most robots take care of one specific chore and leave the rest to humans like me. it is the japanese thought of however, working on a robot which they claim will take care of all the housework. but that's a cat. introducing you go all around talent and future household superstar you

go can grip is hide adjustable and rolls on wheels. the start of your robotics promotes. hugo is a more discreet and cheaper alternative to a human cleaner. we're pretty uncommon in japan at the moment. you go still appears to be quite slow and clumsy. but in the future, this new robot butler says posta be able to take on any household chore imaginable . i would like to let grow routine so that people can be more creative. for example, if the robot does the housework for us, this time we have more time for us. this is how we want to improve the quality of life for people in japan. is a quick with a total of $22.00 sensors and 3 cameras to assist in navigating space and recognising objects. despite being equipped with an ai system,

you go is still incapable of doing chores properly on its own. so a staff member has to operate it by remote control, a controller synchronizes the robot's movements with those of the human operator. hugo is still a long way off from working autonomy. asli. so you go, is operated by someone, i don't know from a remote place. what do they see and does the camera get turned off? what happens to my data? who protects my privacy? here everybody's claim that operators only see blurry images. so do robots have to guess what they're cleaning to someone like me? that's not very convincing. i can be a bit of a neat freak. toyota is also working on a ton of those robots to help manage house work. but there's one issue that is difficult to solve. the robot has to know how much pressure the sponsor needs to apply on to different surfaces to properly clean them with an expensive flat screen t.v. . the machine should be very careful when humans and robots work together, security becomes important. this robot are you working with humans in japan?

up. next is a humanoid robot developed to collaborate with human colleagues. companies like oman and kolata robotics leading the race in developing collaborative robots. these new colleagues have won in vanity over people. their work is precise and they never get tired. particularly, we have to give me serious productivities improvement and pulled up that we japanese that use machines in robots to do this. so we're not going to skilled a robot. robotics trade fairs like iraq's in tokyo show what the future workplace could look like in japan. robot production has long been a key industry around 130 companies make robots here in the past. these trade fairs

were opportunities for companies to show off. big robots used in industrial production. now there's a trend toward service and partner robots. so we also have goal. recently the government's focus has shifted from making new robots to using them sensibly in society. so it would have suited to you. people who just source, they got suckered, it's going to do it. i think we need to think of robots as tools or partner to reach our goal of building a better society where people can feel good and healthy. you're talking with us here with us. it's a big vision with a long way to go. there are still many technicalities that need to be addressed, particularly because collaborative robots are often a security risk for their human colleagues. since robots can't estimate their own

strength, next engage operates in batteries. saving 8 cameras attached to its head and arms are supposed to help the robot to analyze space. an object, interchangeable robot hands used to grip enhance its many uses. but at around 90000 euros a piece, not every company can afford this technology the right now, the next stage is just working in the factory that this type of collaborative world will be needed. they were, we're hoping that will someday be able to take it to their construction sites. the forestry fishery homes in japan, there were not the taking away jobs that there will be there will be a core workers' party. that's what it is. like many other western countries was still prejudiced against industrial robots. here in germany, the main argument is they take away one jobs, but they're leaving all something else. coworking can also make jobs easier. french

roboticists also young want to go, has been working and living in japan for a long time. she says that code working with robots is viewed differently. they're very different needs something which defines about craftsmanship and the art of making things perfect. there is also like a very clear social care by companies and that was and so they never introduced the money to replace one. but their infant just was to make the workplace better working with a robot is something that is i don't like having a robot in your company. something that is really nice. this attitude that robots are cool is a sentiment that you go develop us also ship a remote control used by and operate it isn't exactly cool, but it's only a temporary measure. you will believes that intelligent machines will take on show us independently in the future. hugo's target audience or the elderly and professionals. the company believes that you can make a real difference in their lives,

but it's also expensive. depending on operating times, the monthly rental costs are between 800 to 600 euros. the upside is you go supposed to make life longer and more comfortable. you could more in the future, i find vision robot and turn on houses and doing medical care. and i think that this will enable people to live longer also sought after for the ability to assist in medicine, especially since the outbreak of the coronavirus now robotics companies preparing their robots to assist in 3 key areas. cleaning robots could contaminate rooms or dispose of hospital waste, so humans avoid risks. checkups robots could help check on patients confined to their beds or in quarantine. this could alleviate the pressure on medical stuff.

telemedicine robots have been assisting during surgery for a while in japan. they're also creating so-called surgical robots, tokyo based start up river field once a launch its new model in a few years to compete with the current m.v.p. of surgical robots made in the u.s. . when it comes to surgical assistance, da vinci is state of the art. this robot can remove tumors tissue from someone with prostate cancer, but it doesn't operate autonomously a control panel. let surgeons use the robot arms in real time, which has one big advantage, motion scaling and trammel filters. this allows the surgical robot to work more precisely. but the devinsky robot has 2 disadvantages, doesn't receive any haptic feedback, meaning it can't feel for specific body parts. and it's very expensive. davinci costs up to 2000000, europe's tokyo based company river field is trying to solve these

problems. there is quite similar to differentiate and will cost less. here the robot arms are powered by air pressure. this enables haptic feedback, reducing the risk of injury. so this should make the operation more intuitive. we've become much more important in your path because of the aging society is coming and the rate of increase in japan. this accounts for cancer treatment many other countries are also turning to robots to help in the medical and care sectors. future physicians will have to train intensively to use these new technology to benefit not only for the patient, also the surgeon for the patient,

hospital failure to become a recovery faster. also for the doctors, they can do the surgery by sitting in the chair so that you can be minimized by using surgeons probably won't be replaced anytime soon. but with the right mobile communication, doctors could soon be performing tele surgery across long distance. and this may be beneficial for people living in remote areas without access to medical care whether they're assisting in surgery or doing chores at home. robots are supposed to help people with things that are difficult or that we simply don't want to do. in japan. i saw how ai machines are used in dating, and if it were up to professor for me, documents to know, we wouldn't even be aware of the role that machines play in our lives.

which is that of the disappearing robot. i mean, in the future, robots will become invisible to us. they will be such a common part of our lives that we don't really think of this robots anymore. well, if my own vacuum robot had only done his job properly, i'd probably still be using it. robots for personal use at home, helpful. but just when you were actually graced, let us know what you think on facebook. dot com at to you. would you for more videos from japan, including well robots? that's it for me today. see you next time.

some of them were child soldiers now and they're learning how to process trauma with just one of the many projects initiated by her own mind. the current goal to better the lives of the somali people meet the 2020 german africa prize. winner 77 percent. next on t.w. . mealworms how superpower is because the intestines can die. just plastic. the science community is brilliant. and chimney oman's help the planet overrun by plastic. just by if you know to put it in 60 minutes. i'm not laughing at the germans. because sometimes

they are placed on nothing with the german think deep into the german culture muted scene when taken as grandma down to you. it's all that no time rachel, join me for me to get funky, of course. hello and welcome to a new edition of the 77 percent. my name is liz show and i'm thrilled to have your company today this is what's coming up on this week's show. we needs a bartender tracey who moved from the netherlands to ghana to follow her dream.
