live from moscow thanks for joining us there are starting to show. you are welcome to the program. breakthrough has been reached in the. a cease fire off the lengthy talks in moscow involving the foreign ministers of both countries. if looks at the results. more than that hours of talks here in moscow mediated by the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov armenia and azerbaijan have finally agreed to cease fire which has already commenced at. midnight moscow. by john they have also agreed to begin substance based negotiations from here

on out and also they will continue holding their consultations and saw in this same format as it's been happening now once again cease fire had already began and as said it's going to be a humanitarian ceasefire to allow the. exchange that soldiers as well as prisoners of war now once again that's all. they were held for a long time and the journalists have been here the foreign minister for at least 1314 hours but it's the russian foreign minister lavrov about a minute and a half minutes to. the press that this cease fire in gordon is finally in place. live now as well as sons are brutal political analyst for more on this. program as always why do you think it is a bug agreed to put down their weapons. well 1st of all the venue.

there were mediated by a mutual ally and very close allies of both russia given that armenia and azerbaijan were both soviet republics at one point in fact their 1st war began in earnest in 1908 while the soviet union was still alive so. they both have injured parties. there will be a prisoner exchange. medical attention and so on they need the top both could use the time the question is how long will this cease fire last previous ceasefires of this type have lasted maybe 24 hours. and the situation is i think made more precarious by the fact that a key player or key players were not present at the talks and i'm talking about

turkey in particular which without which. i said by john would not be as shall we say bold in its actions turkey is encouraging. kind of. turkic. ethno nationalism in the region so i think any long term peace talks if it comes to that if the 2 sides take this ceasefire as an opportunity to prepare their a much. deeper peace turkey will probably have to be invited to ensure this happens. a lot of them give away much of his press conference. last that less than a minute i believe almost the size the agreed specific parameters that was something mentioned in the press conference what do you think we can take that to

mean what specific skookum we've gone from what the ceasefire couldn't sail. well the ceasefire the specifics are tactical specifics in other words. they're not going to do well to who's right and who's wrong and which parts of the territory will be split i think in fact that probably has been avoided because that would require a much. much deeper discussion and final solution. so i think the terms are probably much more tactical. with where does the fighting will stop what kinds of activities will take place prisoner exchanges. we've heard injuries. now reaching some civilian areas. church was bombed in a famous church i think. in the in i don't know kyra back in the army in occupied

zone so. this is. a time out basically just to give the 2 sides some some time to reflect on on a deeper process you mentioned turkey is one party which will need to be invited to the table at some point in future as a country that involved in some way shape or form at least in this conflict russia so far has been the main media tour de lis how important is russia's role in getting massaged to go shooting table and making the ceasefire hold. i think russia is the key to. any long term solution and even short term ones we've seen russia has a very important interest in ensuring that the 2 sides speak because they are both. russia has good relations with both it has. the russians who have

relatives in both countries. i'm sure most people in armenia and azerbaijan. speak russian so it's a very important conflict on its doorstep in a very strategic area of course the black sea a crossroads of energy pipelines and now. trade routes. so it's a very important area that needs to be stable however i think france has also played an important role because france is quite close to armenia. there are many there's a strong armenian community in in france. you might remember the singer charles and the war he has armenian descent but very famous french as well so they have girly clothes cultural ties i think apart from turkey i would think that

some gulf states some arab gulf states should be invited as well and i'm thinking specifically of qatar because qatar is a main very important ally of turkey particularly backing it financially and turkey has. rather deep economic problems these days without qatar it wouldn't be able to pursue some of its more ambitious campaigns right now and turkey is rather overstretched it's it's got troops and interest in syria and in libya and as it happens in both of these situations it's been dealing with russia after an on the opposite side so. this conflict in the i don't know her but is a kind of extension of other conflicts that have already been taking place involving similar sites. i was under a brew

a political analyst thanks for your take on that story here today over the gauche asians in moscow. since the decades old conflict escalated nearly 3 weeks ago the fighting is only been intensifying there are conflicting reports on both sides about casualties and videos are released on a daily basis showing the destruction inside the disputed region surrounding areas . historic cathedral at the heart of no god has been badly damaged after being shelled here's the aftermath of the attack it was twice hit in the same day the armenian foreign ministry blames as early forces claiming no pose a threat to the civilized world. in the meantime 3 russian journalists near the building were also injured one is said to be in a critical condition and unable to be airlifted out of armenia the other 2 have since left the country on a russian government flight and are now receiving hospital treatment back in moscow . as area authorities have been saying 7 people have been injured in recent

shelling by armenian forces rockets hit a restaurant in a city of bother a left a school severely damaged in a separate shelling incident in the go on boy region azerbaijan also reported the local police station was destroyed along with a civilian buildings. internationally as about john is backed by turkey which is supported by his attempt to regain. however armenia along with russia is a member of the collective security treaty organization which is based on a nato style platform the head of the c s t o said at present the alliance things to do nothing but call for peace but in an interview with r.t. he was asked if that would change if armenia itself was attacked by. yeah well i'm sure the dance regime will not hit the actual territory of armenia i'm sure such development will not happen that's because initially said that it has no territorial claims to armenia it does not challenge armenia sovereignty and

territorial integrity i think that it is neither in the interest of armenia nor as a regime for the conflict to grow into a regional war but see if it happens then any member of the c.s.t. has the right to count on help without this there is no organization but most or fears has clashes or recently have been reported in the south of the disputed region hugo's dot office near the border he's been talking to some of the armenian mothers who've seen their sons head off to war they spoke of both pride and concern the sentiments echoed on both sides of the conflict. arsenic lives a modest life as she's inviting us in her apartment it's almost like we've traveled back in time the house is 137 years old and has been home to generations of our ancestors she offers us coffee and juicy astley the good to talk about her son fighting in the back while he was conscripted when he came of age the usual service

he was on the 7th of january he had been serving for 10 months or he was in hundreds from the very beginning from base to chechnya and back i didn't know that he was sent to the front line i found out by chance he hadn't called me for 4 days afterwards and when he called he said nothing about being on the frontline others told me about it his son is fighting on the southern front near the town of a drought for a minyan forces it's a life or death bastion of defense and for their by journeys a clue szell gateway to flood the region with own troops. as mc son is right there trying to stop the relentless onslaught of his enemy his

mother waits patiently for an occasional call from him when they do come they're all too brief for his own safety all he can tell is everything's fine so he calls me i don't he calls me to say that he's fine and that's it it doesn't happen often once in 23 days at the beginning he used to call me once in 4 days now more often the war hasn't changed my routine a lot but we do communicate a lot with other mothers whose kids are on the front asking each other about them we all have kids serving i can share my emotions in church only i feel bad. but i can sure it only when i light a candle in church i keep everything inside. sending a son into the line of fire is soul destroying for any mother but in this conflict it seems there is no greater on up yes apart than one i'm proud of having such a child no mother knowing there is currently a war in the garden a car bomb will come we arrest her head on

a pillow during calls and conversations he always told us that he was very far from the front line we learned that he had been allocated to serve in the guard of karbala and i'm very proud. of them. i'm proud to the to have a son who is a soldier now serving in one of the military units in the car a buck i know they're strong i know how he's doing he's in a fight in spirit and he inspires me to the strong here at home and asked me kobes the fighting will be over soon and his son will come home and return to his studies before the conflict intervened with life he'd only just graduated from high school and had started university he wants finance to be his line of work but right now he's on the frontline of war this sentiment is not exclusive to this side of the front line as are you mothers equally as proud of their boys advancing on the enemy . both my sons completed their military service with distinction when the conflict started my oldest son was already in the front line and proud of both of them both

of them volunteered my oldest is there now and the 2nd one is waiting his ready to go there any moment he's in an excellent mood he's ready to carry out any order any word of our president. my son just came back from the army when the conflict began after september is events when our enemies once again attacked our country he was conscripted again to exercise 1st and then to the frontline my son is there now defending his country we speak by phone when there is a possibility to do it he always says to me that everything is fine. amongst a week before the war began my son volunteered it was when the very 1st conflicts emerged he was immediately sent to the front line you always wanted our lands to come back to us that is why he volunteered i mean mothers are mothers too i don't want their children to die nobody understands a mother better than another mother they should call their children back now made

them targets on foreign land and we just don't have reporting from the border with nagorno-karabakh see. it's meant to combat extremism but there's been nothing but an extreme reaction to the french president's new plan for iraq to be taught in schools both left and right every night in their opposition to the idea shot at do with the reports. under plans announced by president mike korn france is fighting back against separatism and a deviation away from the secular nature of the republic but the law which has yet to be fully drafted and released has been seen as an attack against islam not on speech did they kill to alleviate those concerns. the problem is islam ist separatism this conscious theorized political religious project which materializes in repeated deviations from the values of the republic which often

results in the constitution of the counter society and whose manifestations of the dropout of children the development of community based sports and cultural practices which are the pretext for teaching principles which do not comply with the laws of the republic french authorities fear that children and students learning arabic in mosques all being taught by religious associations could fall prey to indoctrination by isn't midsts and in a bid to have more control the government plans to expand its availability in schools but not everyone is convinced that it's a good idea according to a new poll some 69 percent of respondents were not in favor so what do people here in paris make of the idea. yes for me it is a good idea today people from around the world have arrived to speak their language to teach arabic in our schools is a good idea because we have a lot of young people from north west africa and europe. personally and completely

against this idea because here in france there are too many generals ations we point to say no this is march of muslims when there are more serious matters but who i don't really have an opinion on that but it has to be controlled might be a good idea or if there are other languages it might be a good idea to learn. arabic hebrew spanish english all these languages i think that's a really good idea i think people do with these want to do if they're interested it's critics have also rounded on it the note saying it is being counter productive it's ridiculous it's the best way to boost the proliferation of quranic schools or denominational schools if we want to islam ice france this is the best way to get there the language of the republic is french institutionalizing learning of the arabic language in schools is cowardice and

a mistake but even if arabic classes or more widely there is no indication there would be a prolific appetite for them it's currently the 8th most popular foreign language chosen by 11 to 15 year olds and figures show that only about 0.2 percent actually study it what's not clear yet and this is perhaps where the concern comes from is whether or not under the new plans arabic will become part of mandatory lessons here in france if that was the case it is likely to feel the fire of those who believe teaching arabic in schools only fosters communitarianism and blues the feeling of patriotism the exact opposite of what mr. there's nothing wrong with teaching in school what purpose i think there's a message. that's where all the french are against this. today and if we don't want to beat around the bush and drink integration if we want to help communities trying

to get together. and which is one of the best instruments which can be used to get people around to get along so goes a little but of course we teach the other languages even the president is in favor of teaching the arabic language so i think we shouldn't mix the subjects and say and i've also heard people saying online that teaching arabic. it is an act of separatism you know that arabic has existed here for a long time and it never brought me that radicalism or terrorism there is a specific branch of muslims who naturally make the headlines but this is only a branch that's not all muslims don't generalise. just days after proclaiming himself cured of the corona virus that will trump is reportedly pushing for the antibody therapy he received to be cleared from mass use the president says he wants an emergency use authorization signed off by the f.d.a. as soon as possible but it comes not long after the accused the same agency of

launching a political hit job against them after to introduce tougher vaccine guidelines that could potentially be late the approval of any. new f.d.a. rules make it more difficult for them to speed up vaccines for approval before election day just another political hit job a new vaccine garlands say manufacturers must wait 2 months before approval can be considered so trials can flag any safety issues this means the earliest any drug could win approval would be after november's election the f.d.a. insists is the solution is not political i've made it clear from the beginning of my junior year that the only thing that will guide our decisions is data in science all out saying increased administration officials members of congress local officials are routed. the chief executive of the washington pain center believes trump is risking his political future if he plays loose with a vaccine safety. it was about the election clearly the party of the

democrat party has put. up the failure of managing the cobra quotas here in ited states so he has a lot of pressure to make sure he does something with respect to vaccines as he did with personal protective equipment ventilators respirators he did everything from that perspective and i was glad there's a vaccine that he wanted to turn out obviously before the election to hopefully you know regain another 4 years of the white house if he put something out there that was not safe and not effective that would be devastating to his legacy so he has to make sure that everything is above the road safe and effective for the american people to believe in it and obviously to believe it and then take the vaccine for so pretty. new sanctions have been slapped on iran by the united states further isolating the country from the world's financial systems washington claims that i was the stop iran sponsoring terror activities and developing nuclear

weapons to iran denies those allegations and says the restrictions will hurt the iranian people the hardest. made covert 19 pandemic us regime was to blow up our remaining channels to pay for food and medicine iranians will survive this latest of cruelty but conspiring to starve a population is a crime against humanity culprits and enablers who block our money will face justice and iran knows that and they've been put on notice of us around with us if you do something bad we are going to do things to you that have never been done before. donald trump certainly not mincing his words there while the new sanctions freeze the u.s. assets of 18 iranian banks which is almost all the country's financial institutions it also places 2nd the reception's on firms that do business with those banks and they washington claims the restrictions don't apply when it comes to basic necessities critics say foreign monks will be scared off from getting involved in humanitarian aid world affairs journalist thomas fassbender believe the sanctions

are not just about targeting iran but sending out a wider message to the world. even if there is some mechanism in place that will still allow medical or human material aid get into iran. any foreign company any for invading that is dealing with the iran that is involved in such supplies they will have to or 'd. they will have to wait for a full licenses for cruel that's. from a practical point of view that can be no question that this will impede aid and support getting into the country it isn't political move by the us the us are gambling on using their economic my their power over the global financial infrastructure to pacify any potential opponents from russia china iran. even germany as are u.s.

sanctions now and we'll see what this will lead to. a quarter madrid rejected new growth of our us locked on measures imposed by the central government ruling may violate people's freedoms lock down order had come amid a significant covert cases in the capital just over 5000 were recorded in the past 24 hours opponents however of the restrictions claim the decision was taken too quickly without consent and ignored the fundamental rights of millions of residents . internationally and it was the here in the superior court of justice of madrid has refused to ratify the measures aimed at restricting people's ability which were imposed by a recent central government order the community of madrid saw those measures as hasty nonconsensual and effecting the fundamental rights of millions of citizens in the courts have unanimously seen eye to eye with us on this and rules that would have meant they couldn't leave their own city local opposition to lockdown was strong. i mean seek him out it seems that the measures are only intended to annoy

madrid because there are many provinces in spain which are going through the same thing as us and they don't have to do the same so i am not at all in favor of what the government is doing. as me. i think the measures that we're taking were good but it is true that economically it will be very bad for us that a bishop is that we just said that we have to move on we have to continue with our enlarged and i think that if we can have a normal life if we are careful. the. state of emergency has been declared in the dark in central africa after some of the worst flooding there in years for many it means life is proving even more of a challenge in what was already one of the world's poorest nations.

the water has destroyed all of our furniture and belongings were lost in the flood we were being evacuated from our homes to safer places several houses were entirely destroyed we managed to save some furniture because the rest was taken with the water. some people are living now under a tree we don't have anything left the children live under trees there's no place to shelter us and the village is still submerged in water we're building a house out of wood and plastic she's just a shell to ourselves and our families until things get better. up next film over 5 years power struggle chronicles the heated political battle the shutdown the verbal yankees nuclear power plant on the banks of the connect to get
