this is deja vu news coming to you live from berlin. armenia begins handing over disputed territory to uncertainty lies ahead for those leaving their homes after a contentious peace deal sees several districts in that's going to come under a very controlled. we'll go to our correspondent in europe on also coming up as germany reports a record number of new coronavirus and factions. is the country heading for tighter lockdown measures?

hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. army says it has entered the 1st of 3 districts to be handed back by armenia as part of a contentious peace accord. the russian brokered agreement ended weeks of fighting over this period region in and around nagorno-karabakh. the 6 week war killed thousands of people in the car bomb in armenian populated region inside john armenian backed forces later expanded their control over surrounding regions. but the recent peace deal has recaptured its lost territory and gained control of new regions shrinking the borders and go in a car about armenian troops must leave the regions they've lost control of by december 1st, the russian peacekeepers are being deployed to oversee the peace deal earlier i spoke to d.w. correspondent, emily sure,

went in the armenian capital yerevan. i asked her what the consequences will be for armenians now that the territory is being handed over. well, this handover is part of a road map. as you said, 3 districts are being handed over in the next few days, one today, and another 2 in the coming days and weeks for people here in armenia in yerevan and also for people in the region in nagorno-karabakh. this is hugely emotional. after all, here in armenia, nagorno-karabakh has seen as a much wider region. it includes districts around what we see as nagorno-karabakh that have been under armenian control for decades, but are very under international law. people even have a special name for that region. people call it out of stock and the people that i spoke to on the ground said that they really feel like they are losing a huge chunk of their homeland. so a hugely emotional time for everyone here. some of the armenians who are trying to

rebuild their lives after the recent fighting a 2nd. look, it's a choice for moment for some in the united have 2 weeks of fear. now that the fighting in nagorno-karabakh has ended, hundreds of refugees are returning to their homes. instead pond i care to every day . russian peacekeepers watch over the process. but not everyone has a home to come back to haunt you to get a quick. and her mother are from the nearby city of shushi, which is now under azeri control. just like for many here to them. the recent peace deal is a betrayal. still we don't know what we will do and when we will land, we just came here because we have no other option. we don't have a home. i left everything behind in shoes. she

a 2 bedroom apartment, with everything in us, is done up and renovated. i didn't even manage to take any clothing with me. my neighbors thought some of my clothes. one of everything, and this is wash. i came here in with a population of just over 50000. people here think they could soon be dealing with up to 25000. refugees from nearby regions which are no longer under armenian control, have prepared several hotels so that people can live there for now. while we start building more houses, that people who have come from the regions all want to live in stock on the kurds. and we have to explain to them this isn't big enough to provide for everyone. we have to start to live in villages in other areas. even for those who didn't leave.

traces of the recent war around every corner. people in have gotten used to living in the middle of a frozen conflict. but after the most recent fighting, even that normality seems far away. preparing for the return of his children and grandchildren who left during the fighting, the windows of his building got blown out in a bomb blast for now, plastic sheets will have to do instead. the 65 year old says he and his neighbors lived in the basement for around 3 weeks. many can still remember the fierce fighting of the 1990 s. . i thought it was machinegun fire back and forth. this time it was really scary weapons. we have to start over now. we don't have anything. we don't have work either. but we're going to do our best to live from, well,

even with destruction everywhere. most people say leaving is not an option. even if it has just gotten smaller, it will always be their homeland. armenians picking up the pieces that are well, russian peacekeepers have been deployed to the region to oversee the peace for the ceasefire. the peace deal. what do people the reason make of the family? well, initially here, there was a kind of sense that russia had sort of betrayed armenia. they didn't intervene on arm on the part of armenia during the fighting of the past few weeks. russia has a defense treaty with armenia and russian president vladimir putin said that he would intervene if armenia proper and not just was attacked. but now there has been a shift of emotions. when we saw peacekeepers on the ground in the region,

we saw them in character as you just saw in the report. and also at a, an old very medieval monastery in the call, but char region, one of the regions that's being handed over to azerbaijan. they're stationed there as well. people are extremely grateful for the presence of the russians there. i saw people kind of coming up to them, thanking them, handing them chocolate, handing them pies, calling them our brothers taking photos with them. they said thank you for protecting our church. so that sense of betrayal that people may have initially felt has very much shifted to the prime minister here in armenia. and thank you very much. that was the only sure one in their meaning. now to hong kong, where graduating university students have marked the anniversary of violent clashes with police. it occurred during pro-democracy demonstrations. last year,

students displayed and chanted slogans that authorities have declared illegal. thursday's protests were a rare display of defiance since beijing passed a sweeping security law following mass protests in the territory of joshua long as one of the best known pro-democracy activists there in hong kong is he's scheduled to go on trial on monday and faces charges of unlawful assembly and wearing a mask during the last 2 years protests. and joshua long joins us now from hong kong. joshua, what do you expect from the upcoming trial? in the coming months, i will be facing a maximum of 5 years in jail, for on our prices sample and up to one year for wearing a mosque in protests, but friesen last name 1st don't beat from activism and thinking critically even is

such difficulty. timing one and doesn't halt all it's a rest. this is the last summer and 2000 people including me, were prosecuted is still important for us to stay and fight. are you expecting a fair trial as we know how the court in hong kong is being in the fairest by the beijing and how rule of law in hong kong in name only. i only wish that during my absence, people around who were out and called to stand with the people call by following closely to the development no matter all and sort of election arrests under national secretely law. and the trial act that this being the pain in china. what about your next steps? how are you going to approach this trial yourself? it's not easy to handle the pressure as the one who has been arrested for 10 pints being jailed for 3 times. and now i'm facing 6 charges within 3 court cases and

perhaps time for them to be come soon. but no matter what happened to defy the greatest human rights, it was or is essential to restart democracy off our generation and the generation following us. so in the upcoming film is still important to keep on the fight, no matter urging the world to stand with the troth detained at home, call us all how we keep on to seek for local and global community support. we just want to let the world to know that even the prison possible exception is still also important to encourage the world to realize that the fight in hong kong for freedom has not. and yet, do you have confidence that the democratic movement in hong kong can still prevail? i have no hoped was the regime, but i've talked to a cheap will and with the courage and determination of hong kong, as i believe we can overcome the next friend and next term off the succession.

what do you make of the of the change of administration in washington that's coming up? are you hopeful that under joe biden? there might be more attention for your cause. it's important for the new administration to hold china when beijing show no respect on the international order. i believe actions speak louder than words and we would note the final results on next generation and will be the president over who will control the senate. but house is also important to seek for bipartisan support because it's not a matter of rights. it's the metal right or wrong. and we expect the new administration to provide more detail on how or who might be appointed to be a part of the national security council. or who might be the next secretary of state, just want thank you very much for talking with us. that was activist joshua wall in hong kong. thank you. know germany has

recorded its highest number of daily corona virus cases. so far more than 23 and a half 1000 new infections were, have been confirmed in the last 24 hour period. the robert call institute for infectious diseases reports that 880000 people from across the country have no contract to cope it. 19, the rise comes as germany continues to battle. the virus with partial lockdown tougher restrictions could be in place. when chancellor, you know michael meets with the heads of the federal states next week or more in the us, talk to our chief political editor mckay to kill that despite a partial law. that's in place right now. germany keeps hitting record highs in daily corona, virus infections. is there a political consensus now that tougher measures are needed? there isn't yet. going to machall will need to stay prime is once again,
