the. basis is the prison business is. more than 10 hours of. meeting. growing with journalists. we hear from others. we all have good serve me i can ringback share my emotions in church only i haven't slept properly since september as a soldier's mother and as a citizen i was there. on the front line. the french president on the radical islam.

live. here in the. welcome to the program now a breakthrough has been reached in. agree a ceasefire. talks in moscow involving the foreign ministers of both countries. 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 sauce in the 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 soldiers as well as prisoners of war now once again that. they were held for a long time and the journalists have been here at 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 is finally in place. love now to jennifer the mosque there and a legal analyst joining us kids having the program today more than 10 hours of talks before any breakthrough was made today why do you think the country's finally

agreed to put down their weapons and agree to at least a temporary ceasefire. i mean for many reasons the obvious one being the absolute devastating casualties that the fall and not only people in both countries as civilians. coming out reports coming out from both sides but i think also the added pressure from the international community there have been more talks more reports now coming out by other leaders merkel others but i think really the role that moscow has been playing not only has been good but i mean as the most powerful and influential player in the caucasus region it's crucial that moscow is involved and especially the involvement of the minsk group france united states and russia agreed to be involved in these talks in moscow i think is good it puts that pressure on it puts a pressure on at least both sides and with the u.s. involvement that would likely imply that there had to have been at least some

pressure on. on turkey to least agree to to respect any any ceasefire deals or any cease fire negotiations we hope we'll see that of course coming forward. as the wasn't giving much away the press conference all of those talks we view of assad's agreed specific parameters for that so useful can we take that to mean do you think. well i think right now it's just going to mean at least the casualties need to stop especially civilian casualties the fighting needs to stop there probably going to be certainly some no fly zones no fighting zones i think that's the 1st thing we're going to be looking for is to make sure that both sides agree to respect that in terms obviously of the contested areas i'm sure they're not tackling very big issues of these earliest stages but one of them and korten things that i'm sure we might see coming forward is to make sure that no other regional players are involved i know that iran has expect has expressed some

sentiments in wanting to be involved in the region be involved in this that is the last thing i think moscow would agree with that that's the last thing that needs to happen is another proxy player coming in there so hopefully we're going to see both sides exercising their sovereign rights but but looking at not only the rights of both regions or right the both countries azerbaijan and armenia but looking at the armenian ethnic populations that's that's something that's a concept that moscow understands very well that a lot of that the united states understands but really a lot of the players in this region to make sure that not only are minority ethnic minority rights respected in a country but that really right now we can just see the violence stop and make sure that no more proxy players no more fighting groups no more no more militia groups from any other country will take an interest or take root in the region in either country. before that other regional powers the 3 evolve to. through brought to the

negotiating table as a country that's involved to some extent as what of this. though it's russia that's been the key mediator how do you think at all that you think russia's role is in getting this conflict result. russia's role exude stream important i think even the united states recognizes that russia has always had an important role specifically in the caucuses but russia's role in this particular conflict is incredibly important notably because russia has a good relationship with both countries yes russia has a military alliance with armenia but russia has entered into agreements and engagements of both azerbaijan and armenia so lives are by john sears a closer relationship with turkey russia has been able to broker deals between both countries in and of course russia is. definitely the most powerful country most influential country in the region and so that's why it's important that russia is involved in this that moscow is leading these peace talks i think that's good i

think the u.s. being on board with that is equally as good because they understand they respect not only the close proximity to russia but just the influence that russia's had there which is a good thing because not only is russia going to be able to keep iranian interests at bay and keep the iranians any proxy forces or any any interest they might want in the region but they're also going to be able to hopefully work with turkey yes bringing turkey to the table is probably going to be necessary considering azerbaijan turkey's relationship but russia's role is equally as important and and that's why it's good that they're on the table in this and i think that's the pressure from from these larger countries from countries like russia that both parties that both players as a rajon are media. and are going to see being important in crucial in these next steps and brokering peace sort of for the last thanks for joining us that ought to be good to have you on the program as always and you. will soon as the decades old called for the escalating nearly 2 weeks ago the fighting is only been intensifying

there are conflicting reports on both sides about casualties with videos being released on a daily basis showing that a structure inside the disputed region and its surrounding areas. historic theater at the heart of nagorno-karabakh has been badly damaged after being shelled here is the aftermath of the attack it was hit twice in the same day the armenian foreign ministry blames as early forces claiming they pose a threat to the civilized world 3 russian journalists near the building were injured one is said to be in a critical condition unable to be airlifted out of the country the other 2 have since left the area on a russian government flight and are receiving hospital treatment back in moscow. meanwhile as are your thoughts as you say 7 people have been injured in recent shelling by armenian forces rockets hit a restaurant in the city of bot of the left a school severely damaged in a separate shelling in the golden boy region there by john also the local police

station was destroyed along with civilian buildings. or internationally is about john of course is backed by turkey which is supported by coups attempts to regain no government cut about 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. president of the alliance things to do nothing but call for peace but in an interview with our team he was asked if that would change if armenia itself was directly attacked by azerbaijan. well i'm sure that as a regime will not hit the actual territory. i'm sure such development will not happen because as we see on initially said before 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 at all with the us if it happens then any member of the c.s.t.

overall has their rights is counted on to help them without this there is no organization but the fiercest clashes recently have been reported in the south of the disputed region hugo's that office near the border has been talking to some of the mothers who've seen their sons head off to war they speak of both pride and concerned 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 traveled back in time the house is 137 years old and has been home to generations of her ancestors she offers us coffee enthusiastically the good to talk about her son fighting in the gorn i can back what 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 adroit for a minyan forces it's a life or death bastion of defense and for thereby journeys a clue szell gateway to flood the region with own troops. asked nick 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 but 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 share 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 our yes apart than one i'm proud of having such a child no mother knowing there is currently a war in the barn a car battle comey rest her head and 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 garden carver and i'm very proud. of them were them single 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 hopes the fighting will be over soon and his son will come home and return to his studies before the conflict intervened with a 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 mother is 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 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. among 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 not make 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

arabic to be taught in schools both left and right have been lighted in their opposition to the idea shot at devinsky 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 a 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 or 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 the thing that says much 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 what they 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 loss is widely offered 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 kids cause. i think there's a political message. that's where all the french are against this. today and if we don't want to push integration if we want to help communities that are trying to live together. and which is one of the best instruments which can be used to get people around to get to talk. 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 was reportedly pushing for the antibody therapy he received to be cleared from mosque use the president says he wants an emergency use authorization signed off by the food and drug administration as soon as possible this comes not long after you accuse the same agency of launching a political hit job against them after it had used tougher vaccine god lines that could potentially there lay the approval of any job 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 on the new vaccine guidelines say manufacturers have to wait 2 months before approval can be considered so trials can flag any safety issues that mean that the earliest any drug could win approval would be off the 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 increase from administration officials members of congress local officials are routed. or the chief executive of the washington pain center believes thrown prison risking his political future if he plays loose with a vaccine safety. it was about the election clearly you know could be the democrat party has put. up the failure of managing the code requires a syrian 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 way 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 a boat load safe and effective for the american people to believe in it and obviously to believe it and then take the vaccine for safety. new sanctions have been slapped on iran by the united states further i say when i say it in the country from the world's financial systems washington claims the movie is the stopper on sponsoring terror activities and developing nuclear weapons to iran denies those allegations and says that instructions will hurt a rainin 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're going to do things to you that have never been done before or certainly not very presidential language from donald trump their new sanctions freeze the u.s. assets of 18 iranian banks which is almost all the country's financial institutions it also places secondary sanctions on firms that do business with those banks and their washington claims the restrictions don't apply when it comes to basic necessities critics say foreign banks will be scared off from getting involved in humanitarian aid world affairs journalist thomas fassbender believe the sanctions are not just about targeting iran and selling out a wider message to the world. even if there is some mechanism in place that would

still allow medical or human need to get into iraq. any foreign company any for invading that is dealing with iran that is involved in such supplies they will have to apply they will have to wait for a full licenses for crew 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 u.s. the u.s. or gambling on using their economic my. over the global financial infrastructure to pacify any potential opponents from russia china iran. even germany as are u.s. sanctions now. as well. because in madrid has rejected a new coronavirus. imposed by the central government the ruling they violate

people's freedoms looked at older how to collimate a significant covert cases in the spider's capital just over 5000 were recorded in the past 24 hours opponents however over the restrictions claim the decision was taken too quickly without consent and ignored the fundamental rights of millions of residents. if you do not have it was the hearing one of the superior court of justice of madrid has refused to ratify the measures aimed at restricting people's mobility which were imposed by a recent central government order the community of madrid saw those measures as he still nonconsensual and affecting 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 of local opposition to the locked out of was strong. i mean. 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 were taking were good but it is true that economically it will be very bad for us. let me just say that we have to move on we have to continue with our enlarged and i think that we can have a normal life if we are careful. a state of emergency has been declared in sadar in the central africa after some of the worst flooding very years for many it means life is proving even more of shadows in what was already one of the world's poorest nations. or rather i ve gotten out of the water has destroyed all of our house furniture and belongings were long lost on the floor we were being evacuated from our homes to

safe places several houses were in time it's truly 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 and children live on the 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 said just show to ourselves and our families until things get better. tim kendall form a facebook director of monetisation is the guest on so if you go up next discussing how social media is slow to gain control over our lives and see you and i back in 30 minutes to give you the latest news updates we'll see you back then.

with election day looming it's important to ask how donald trump has changed the g.o.p. if at all is there such a thing as trump is the political establishment a week's understand why does the get in the 1st one is just populism on the right. but you. know those that sell just know that the bill is doubled all those.

people are going to want to look at what why did why do you know. all of the. illegal to leave but there are also friends that the us are still slow but the still beautiful thing to do something this is. so. rich. schultz louis mo. the value of them wasn't about the physical dollar go in but was overwhelmed with a lot of that you know we're going to have. folks.

nala visionaries may sophie shevardnadze social media once created to bring millions of people together now how to control what we think and how will leave without us even knowing it i'm joined today by tim kandel former facebook director of munches asia next president of contrasts and the c.e.o. of moment at. tim kandel former. director of asian former president contrasts and. app great to have you with us and i have so many questions for you where do we start. right so obviously during this pandemic radar screen time on social media is way up i mean do you know that this increase in usage will be permanent or are we going to sort of when else once we're allowed to freely roam

again. it's hard to argue predict the future. i mean i think we've seen a surge coroutine doing this because people don't have alternatives right they can they don't leave their houses off and they're clearly not nearly as social as they is that used to be and that by social i mean physically social like going over to each other's houses or meeting up places. so i guess i'm optimistic that i think that it will it will reduce to to some degree once once once you get through this craziness of corn teaming so this is social dilemma documentary which is dedicated to this threat that is social media says that internet companies are using technology to complete to compete for our attention which they then sell to advertisers but here's a question from someone that has worked on television for most of her life has a.
