resurgence of riots and transmission. with weekend news and reaction this is an international right welcome to the program 1st of tell you about then a ceasefire between armenia and azerbaijan has taken effect in the back although both sides have already accused each other of violating the terms the 2 south caucasus nations reached a tentative agreement after marathon talks on friday evening here in moscow russia served as mediator the negotiations ran for 10 hours plus behind closed doors and neither side spoke to the media afterwards it was russia's foreign minister who read out the statement. as ceasefire is announced from 12 pm 110th of october for humanitarian purposes to exchange prisoners of war and other did team persons on the bodies of the killed in

line with the red cross principles the specific parameters of the cease fire will be agreed later on. the truce includes an exchange of prisoners and war dead although the final details are yet to be finalized the deal paves the way for further talks which will be mediated by the. group which includes russia france and the united states but azerbaijan's already cast doubt on the deal in the past few hours the foreign minister said the conditions have not yet been met for a ceasefire to take effect with more on the claims from both sides and the international reaction has been against the evidence stumble. we've had reports from armenia about azerbaijan forces attempting to carry out offensive operations in the south of calabar we've also heard from the years about johnny side which is accuse the armenians. artillery strikes so there 4 are mixed reports coming from

both sides but i must say i have never seen a ceasefire take hold at the appointed me this appointed hour nevertheless we have positive messages from from the armenian and the as their budget inside regarding this ceasefire the latest has been from as a budget president a live who is said that the time for military escalation the military part of this conflict leads latest escalation is now over now is the tile for negotiations of india also saying that it is hopeful that these negotiations will it at last lead to a breakthrough we have also heard from one of the key players in this crisis though not a belligerent itself turkey which had been which ease on the side of is it about job very firmly had been accused of aiding is it about john all by frogs saying that it's turkey's war like rhetoric was only pushing is it about john to to seek

a military solution to this crisis as a by john gave i mean its last chance to withdraw from the territories occupied the cease fire is an important 1st step but will not replace a permanent solution as turkey has always said it will support any decision that has by john makes we continue to stand by as furthermore there has been reaction pouring in from around the world we've heard from georgia for example iran have come out of neighboring states saying that they're there they're happy that this is happening now is the time to read this latest. austria has come out and said that they approve this latest cease fire. and also hope that it leads to a war lasting more permanent solution to this crisis and all this pressure that was levied on both sides didn't come just from governments from heads of states there were protests protests as far away as hollywood and los angeles all the way to paris with pro armenian protesters taking to the streets demanding more action in

response to what they what they saw as i said about johnny aggression there is now a breakthrough which you know just a few days ago was unthinkable progress is certainly being market and there is a lot of optimism that now there is a way forward diplomatic the karabakh conflict has been simmering for more than 3 decades and this latest flare up started almost 2 weeks ago the big conflicting reports of casualties on both sides on friday an armenian man living in the area described life and the daily bombardment a man or woman on a common. every day 1520 times a day we can't leave our basements oh shops are closed there is nothing to eat. the whole world should intervene russia and france america they must stop with their bridge on the whole city's been bombed our whole republic been destroyed both of my

sons are on the frontline now one of them came yesterday and left he went back to the front line my neighbor was brought back wounded today a young man 22 years old the hospitals food of wounded people i don't know where my elder son is i haven't heard from him for 10 days everyone ran away to hear of one . the conflicts been spilling beyond the disputed territory into azerbaijan people in nearby villages have taken refuge in a school building which has been transformed into a temporary shelter as by johns accused me and forces of hitting civilians several dozen families are living in classrooms while waiting to return to their homes. in the 2nd on the 20th of september the bombed us a shell phone near our house so we left and came here there was shooting near our village we were scared we are less afraid. in the god of we have children so we were forced to come here do we go back and forth we go to see your house even

if they destroy it we will go back in. friday's agreement seen as a starting point in peace talks between azerbaijan and armenia we heard from mark on the news director of the crisis research institute in the u.k. he thinks the 2 sides will be unable to make real progress without broad public support. this shaky partly because they were all about mineral city on both sides not just between so dysfunctional both sides public opinion and for instance we must be afraid that was a risk that already in book the some dissenting voices saying why are we stopping the war when we as a result we winning so there's a danger that governments who made the improvement could be pressed little bit into new that will particularly only is or is not the other problem is that the agreement is essentially a very short one it says that it's to enable the wounded to be recovered and also christians to be exchanged and those felt the top story she found a way of reckons and bringing about a longer term ceasefire in peace well i think russia is the key player because it

enjoys a considerable degree of trust and a little contact with those of the german omonia and its next door. and so it has its own interests in a peaceful solution to the problems perhaps other players further away. interests that they don't really risks russia will suit stands to lose if there's a conflict in its backyard. the 2nd u.s. presidential debate was supposed to happen this coming thursday but it's been officially canceled after the trump and biden campaign team failed to agree on a new format the democratic side of the debate commission suggested the matter should be conducted remotely but donald trump who insists that he's now cured of covert 19 ruled out that option and tried to reschedule and he's lined up several public events even though the results of his latest test are unclear. i have been retested and i die haven't even found out numbers or anything yet but i've

been retested and i know i'm at either the bottom of the scale or free. some doctors have reportedly spoken out in favor of in person debates the new york post claimed that $175.00 physicians have written to the commission saying that the event will be safe as all those precautions are taken meanwhile the democrats into the spotlight on trump's health saying that it could provide grounds to remove the president more on that next from kind of more pain. nancy pelosi is known to be one of donald trump's biggest and most loyal fans she's on record telling us just how much she loves him and god as. well she's so concerned now about donald trump's health that she's introducing legislation if a president suffers a crippling there's a cold or a mental problem and is on end of the man match on able to discharge the powers and

duties of his office and transfers his powers the 25th amendment of the u.s. constitution and abel's the president to be kicked out of office if he's rendered to be mentally or physically incapable in order for that to happen the vice president and most of the cabinet needs to meet and declare the president to be unfit to lead the democrats are now looking to set up a mechanism where as congress would have more of a say when it comes to the president's health nancy pelosi maintains this is not about this is not about president trump he will face the judgment of the voters but he shows the need for us to create a process for a future president the president's allies say that this is yet another attempt by the democrats to push trump out of office. i wouldn't put a post speaker pelosi to stage a coup she's already weaponized impeachment was to keep her from weaponized in the

25th amendment who can forget last year's failed impeachment proceedings i'm announcing the house of representatives moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry and directing our 6 committees to proceed with their investigations under that umbrella of the impeachment inquiry the president must be held accountable no one is above the law now nancy pelosi failed to remove donald trump in 2918 but apparently she has another plan up her sleeve she was sitting on it until just the right moment some of mention the possibility if they try to push through a nominee in a lame duck session that you win this the house could move to impeach we're not ruling anything out of protecting our democracy requires us to use every arrow in our quest for nancy pelosi makes no bones about the fact that she's been trying to remove donald trump from office all along she's been looking for any potential opening all i hear from the press is that are moving so swiftly to such

a blur going by this is then a couple of years 2 and a half cynthia and michelle investigation no matter what he says or whatever headline he wants to carry around here impeached ever so with the election in less than a month we've got the democrats possibly using constitutional maneuvers to try and remove trump from office just in case he wins at the polls that does not sound like a position of confidence but then again with so much fear about contested results this november nothing in american politics seems normal these days what she proposes is a new legislation to set up a permanent 17 urson commission judge to try to evaluate whether or not mentally ill this is something that they are made up. of representatives for the election but it starts accuse the government of inaction on foam. as in south africa. i think people moving together trying to make a statement to government to show that we will not take this anymore i think we've

reached a point of no return and if government doesn't come to the party you know we won't take this anymore you feel alone you feel isolated you feel that you might be going next door do you feel that it's nobody it's not just about the form this is we all buy this it creates a scenario we violence becomes the norm of the day when it all came to a head following the grisly murder of 21 year old farm manager brendan one last friday to cattle thieves have been detained in connection with that case they are suspected of torturing and then stabbing the man to death and it's just the latest in a string of similar attacks as well the south african justice minister has condemned the attack on the courthouse saying that homeowners murder is no excuse for knocking violence he stressed that such actions should not happen in a democracy land ownership has been

a contentious issue in south africa for decades official data shows that 72 percent of private farmland is owned by white people who make up just 9 percent of the population a member of a farmers activist group told us that the government's been turning a blind eye to the violence against the white minority. the problem is the pharmacist beneath north for so long that nothing is done with al complaints nobody cares about us el presidente denies that fall modus exists that it's a problem it's not just a murder it's a god that's been tortured it's me people being raped we've got a more nearly say weekly stocks they still couldn't see us and it's a huge problem for us and it doesn't get investigate that properly we've got a huge problem on the rural areas we don't have the police close to us we are vulnerable from where we are living i'll just diesel system a stokely to slow in dealing with the problems people that's got all cases going back to steam is doesn't get resolved those people get out and buy oil quickly and that but at the same crimes over and over again for most want the measures to go
