Well it will take several days or maybe well know in a few hours before we get the official results from this election but what we know is that the counting has begun it has been a tremendous record. Numbers of voters have come out to vote today in guinea of course there are many gideons living outside of guinea that were able to vote 3500000. 00 living in senegal alone here and also in Guinea Bissau the diaspora in france where theres a large number also were able to vote now we spoke to opposition. Jello before the campaign he said that that was an intentional move because many of those living abroad he says are his supporters but now the difficult task ahead is the counting of the vote in theres already mistrust between. Polling centers between observers from the Political Parties the ruling party and the Polling Centers themselves over the counting before it has even started and that comes from a campaign as you mentioned ensure that has been quite a divisive and where weve seen tension rise fueled by candidates who are calling on on their own ethnic groups to for their support and that has really fueled tension to a point where the un the un office for the prevention of genocide says its alarmed with the level of mistrust that this campaign has led to a look at this report. Just. One blow and down for a cuppa sorry these are lyrics to a Catchy Campaign tune for guineas president alpha conde for his opponents its a call for violence a strong lawful something were not here to fight were here to have fun were not here to go after anyone. But opposition candidates delane jello believes otherwise in an interview with al jazeera he accused conde whos running for a 3rd term of fomenting ethnic divisions this could be a few last given the ethnic undertones of that is speeches there is a real risk of post electoral violence hes trying to mobilize people against those that have the same ethnic origin as use main challenger. The president s good in people party is largely backed by the linkage ethnic group while those Opposition Party is mostly supported by the people before the polls even open on sunday gideons came out in large numbers to cast their vote seemingly undeterred by what has been a divisive and often Violent Campaign you know people looking to supposedly i have no worries everything will be fine im sure it will you have seen look we are all here in peace and it will continue. To do jello has a full on he was unable to campaign in eastern guinea home to ethnic blinky after the president s supporters blocked the road and homes and businesses owned by ethnic philosophies and can con were attacked the police failed to stop the violence anyone but a felony has been a rallying call among many of his supporters to a Campaign Something Rights Groups have condemned. You know resorting to resorting to. Its a good way to get people its not a good way to go away but its certainly a victim on the ground and thats removed. After violence during marches constitutional referendum the uns office for prevention of genocide expressed alarm and criticized the Security Forces for their use of force against protesters more than 50 people were killed or injured many of them full and with a new vote now under way by sorry a 1000000 is worried the full monty may seek revenge. I wish that even if giallo wins the elections that we can walk hand in hand unite as a people politics shouldnt terrace apart while some hope for change others for continuities many 1st time voters say they want and then to a culture of politics that is pitting gideons against each other. 2 candidates stand out in this election opposition candidates into the angelo and incumbent president alpha conde theyve been at it 3 times before and all 3 times alpha conde has won the election and during those occasions gello called play accusing the incumbent president of cheating the fear is that this will happen again in the past this had led to violence at stake here is not just the control of this country its the control of a country wealthy in minerals its the largest reserve of bauxite in the world Multinational Companies such as russell from from rush hour rio tinto from the United States are vying to control these precious asset and whoever becomes the next president will have the difficult task to try to share that wealth to a population where at least half of the population lives under the poverty line 20 percent live in extreme poverty in thats whats really at stake in this election delivering on this broken promises that guineans have heard before political stability and the Economic Prosperity that many canadians have been waiting for nic. Thanks very much indeed. Reporter in these important elections in guinea lets take it all and we can speak now to patrice for heart whos a spokeswoman for the office of the United Nations high commissioner for human rights joins us now from cannot agree which is it could be an capital welcome to the program just tell us what your main concerns are here. This prison this whole election. Closing this evening is very critical and electron violence as you probably know is is of concern in guinea especially when it comes to president ial election but this particular one we were concerned about cruz even less but also his speeches and electoral violence so those might it mean issues that. Has been concern and actually underline that were not just in the field today we have been wanted to ring the situation since january and what is a kind of time scale for your main concerns is it for now when polls have closed until the result is announced or is it ongoing after the results announced as well. Well. Today there was really a simply count but. As it used to happen depending for the moment the Police Station close to the final announcement of the final result by the Constitutional Court im going to be extremely critical and this is where. Weve been assisting on the whole the participant the contest and to ensure that this election thats not open weve for all communal violence through hate speeches or any forms of Human Rights Violations so i think although today was to relax simply come it will be critical to keep a brute eyes on know what happens in the coming 70 to 72 hours or so right do you think it is likely that he the 2 main contenders that come to himself of course indiana is it likely that either of them will go quietly should they lose. Kondraty i can predict i mean when we look at there we become pin went on waves. House languages used their reason to continue insisting on the day that come. To safeguard human rights and its wrong kill each of the communities that are living together in the south in this nation all of them of pledge to ensure that no violence happens after the result but we are here today to see and i want to be maybe of the music that rightly count on them each of them to really make sure that peace and stability prevailing kenya regardless of the outcome patrice are hard we appreciate that temperatures far from the United Nations high commissioner for human rights thanks very much indeed thank you so much now the latest attempt to port the fighting between armenia and azerbaijan appears to be faltering just hours after it began both sides are accusing each other of violating a 2nd russian mediated ceasefire in the space for a week it was established a day after these areas said that 13 people were killed in a missile attack in the city of gunja more than 700 people are estimated to have died so far in the disputed region of the corner car park well the remote mountainous area is officially part of azerbaijan but its been controlled by Ethnic Armenians since the end of a 6 year war in 1994. As in gunja has by john and has the reaction from the. Isnt that was fair bit of popular anger here all fingers pointing out. Theres also very little faith in this renewed ceasefire that was announced on sunday people here obviously saying that they could not trust the armenian side to hold their part of the deal even though i feel theres a bit of confusion over what exactly that humanitarian ceasefire is about people here think that its about an end therefore still a tease when in fact its really about bringing some calm in. A calm period enough to swap bodies and did. Now the moment we dont know where that is heading we just heard from their budget and he said that they are ready to return some bodies to armenia through this prearranged kori door. As a budget and said that it has informed the International Red cross about it but this statement did not say anything about do soldiers definitely. On the battlefield specially in the areas in the occupied regions around no go no care about the Azerbaijani Army is pushing forward it has Popular Support there is a feel that as they are by gen at the moment because of the do every tory again has the upper hand and you have a lot of people here who do support that many would tell you actually that maybe a ceasefire is not what should happen now and that the army should keep on pressing i want to hear from the armenians i know a bonus myth is in the couple youre around with. The armenians say theyve been pushing for several days now to get this humanitarian ceasefire agreed on and its taken 2 weeks to get this far it was russia that got the 2 sides to agree to a humanitarian cease fire to the handover the bodies of killed soldiers i dont change prisoners of war Wounded Soldiers it was never quiet enough along the goal line of contact never peaceful enough for them to be able to for both sides to be able to agree to do this there was an attempt last week on one local attempt to do it on one part of the line of contact but even that failed after a few hours because firing started again so this decision by the air is to hand over the dead bodies of the armenians had already earlier on agreed to some sort of handover of bodies and prisoners of war is a step forward armenia needs the cease fire to carry on itself but now 675. 00 armenian Ethnic Armenian fighters have been killed in the fighting and armenia has lost control of the territory it has held since the end of the war in 1994 this territory between nagornokarabakh karabakh in azerbaijan is considered the security or buffer zone that the armenians say thats what it is to protect nagornokarabakh for the last 26 plus years theyre supposed to be discussing the status of this territory plus nagornokarabakh with. Nothings happened in that time has wires about john says it is now moving militarily with the support of turkey to take some of this territory. More still ahead on news are included in. The year after roys in metro fares its a protest Movement People in chile were all still waiting for change. And protests are taking place in france is a nation mourns the murder of a teacher in a paris suburb. That will tell you why some fans are upset after much of the city still touch the lines women thats come. It would pay transport. The thousands of protesters have gathered in the tiny capital bangkok for a 5th day theyve been rallying in defiance of a government ban dozens have been arrested and they calling for the Prime Minister to stand down for the moana key to be reformed and for a new Constitution Police when they will respond to any acts of violence to the chain has more now from bangkok on the protesters and the demands. Once again for the 5th day in a row protesters have come out onto the streets of bangkok to show their displeasure at the government and again the authorities have tried to stop them and failed earlier in the day the police had warned that anyone attending would be charged and arrested they even said that those people who turned up and posted selfies on social media could be liable for 2 years in jail or 2000. 00 fines but clearly that hasnt deterred anyone people are still here and theyre still determined that their demands be met quite a lot here. I think we need to change we need to demand an end to the unfairness that has happened the 1st thing that i want to see is that they stop ignoring our voices we should be able to gather and protest peacefully and i want to see more freedom not arrests at this stage we dont know how long these protests are going to continue to a certain extent some of the fears has gone out of this because the protest leaders have been detained that said these protests have now spread theyre taking place in different sites across bangkok and tonight even in different places across the country the protesters are shown that after the crackdown on friday night theyre still prepared to come out and still to come out prepared to come out in numbers and theyre not scared and now the ball is very much in the governments call for thousands of people in chile are marking one years since the beginning of a protest movement calling for social change demonstrators in the capital santiago demanding a new constitution and more call society to chile has been gripped by protests against high living costs inequality and political exclusion at least 31 people have died in iran 30000 have been detained in the past year lets speak to a latin america to see a new and he joins us from the Capitol Police is clearly important times in chile is there a sense that the protesters can affect lasting change. Well clearly there are absolutely thousands and thousands tens of thousands of people who are out of the street massive amount i havent seen anything like this since march when a state of emergency was declared because of the pandemic and all demonstrations and public gatherings were banned but what this it marks is so that our viewers can understand is the anniversary of the explosion of chiles social Pressure Cooker if you like and so people are back out here to say that they have not forgotten that they had not gone home at least not for good the only thing that most people feel that they were able to achieve since october and remember those demonstrations lasted for months and months it wasnt just one day it was simply other greater consciousness and the the ability to do that vics the government and the political elite to hold a referendum the next sunday to ask chile and whether they agree or not to rewrite the constitution but that for them is to clearly not enough again this is a day that will mark what they say is a day that changed the history of chile but that its not over yet. 30 increase in the mid 2030 was the detonator of a social explosion last year that has rocked latin americas new stable democracy ever since. 24 year old cynic intermediates was one of the students that rushed this entangle metro station last october who was the lawn as the saying goes it was in the 30 places with the 30 years of unfilled promises clearly there was a before and after october 18th chile has never been the same the rules of the game have been totally modified in what way we think google us in the sense as citizens of empowered and took over public spaces to demand their. Rights that had never happened thats why its been a citizens revolution. The initial revolt was followed by riots and looting small but violent radical groups destroyed millions of dollars worth of property mainly Peaceful Demonstrations lasted until march when the pandemic began despite widespread human rights abuses on the part of Security Forces. But most of all the social explosion as its called here unmasked a deep rooted discontent and anger over social inequality privilege and exclusion in what was supposed to be a latin american oasis this rural as one of many that illustrates what was a major disruption until in society that is still unfolding and it has the potential to significantly alter this countrys social economic and political model. As a result of the uprising the political establishment agreed to a key demand a new constitution that will presumably guarantee basic social rights like Education Health and decent pensions my feeling is that the process opened. As a result of political elites trying to empathize and connect with the movement what we still dont know if if that connection. Will be able to channel the movement back into the institutional real. Next sunday chile will hold a referendum that is widely expected to approve the rewriting of the constitution. With the countrys Democratic Institutions so discredited for so many people theres no guarantee that the genie can be put back in the bottle. Now were still seeing the thousands of people marching towards the plaza the plaza renamed dignity plaza by the demonstrators last year what some of the Political Parties especially the opposition the center left Political Parties are warning though is that if these demonstrations continue to end in violence as they have been over the last few days that might persuade a lot more convince a lot of people to stay away from the polls next sunday which is something that they dont watch this if things for that said listen youve been reporting there from santiago thank you a great switzerland is imposing new coronavirus restrictions to try and stop a rise in new infections it will be monday treats where mosques in all public spaces for monday gatherings of 15 or more people will be banned and companies are being encouraged to let employees work from home thats whats been reported more than 3000 cases in the past day take is 22 about 74000 where its now clear the pandemics 2nd wave has taken hold across europe a number of countries witnessing record numbers of new cases and many doctors are warning of a shortage of intensive care beds within weeks and thats led to millions of people being put under renewed restrictions from london to warsaw and much of france and belgium are under a nightly curfew bot. As europe scrambles to avoid a fatal winter life is nearly back to normal in many parts of asia in woohoo and indeed where the outbreak began thousands of fans enjoyed a basketball game at a stadium once used as a covert 19 Hospital Research indicates that countries in east asia are doing relatively well because they had already experience outbreaks and were prepared the populations also took the threat seriously and allowed the state to act immediately Mainland China tested all 9000000 people in in 5 days while hong kong used its police supercomputer to track and trace potential infections so lets explore this further very interesting i speak to dr julian tangs a consultant just at leicester Royal Infirmary hospital and an associate professor at the university of leicester in the u. K. Joins us now is dr tang great to have you with us so tell us more about why europe is being hit so hard relatively is it this lack of a carrot approach a less amenable public less respect for authority what is it. So there are couple things here that are relevant 1st of all the European Countries including u. K. And those markets didnt respond to the threats very early on so about a turn they reacted that already had imported cases many by skiing trips from from possibly to various places and ski trips and elsewhere disseminating bars across europe very early on before the authorities we reacted to it and if you see the person really on the spares to 3 generations was people get their act together the base of infected numbers will be much higher than if you jump on it straightaway which is what the Asian Countries did generally so Hong Kong Singapore in the early stages china taiwan. And. Thailand i think it was and their numbers are still very low because what happens is that if you have a relatively small base your trucking trace will work at test track and trace the work they can track those cases and quarantine them. Quickly so they dont create 2nd generations right so why was it asian started to jump in and why was it that Asian Countries jumped on it so quickly when you know the european nations western nations were lagging behind what the difference. Yeah so you know the virus could the trend of us both President Trump and you know the virus by others and i think its a case of you know its a distant forest not really a problem whereas the countryside experience sars 2003 as well as a can of worms outbreak sporadically h 5 n one a 79 as well as mers and south korea south korea had a massive credit on some break in 2015 that really worked everybody so they were always more hyper vigilant to these types those who were not in threats for the last 20 years so things hypervigilance paid off and also they werent afraid lockdown straight workers have seen the devastation that these infections can occur so the good ones werent has written the public work setting of this and this reduced the pace of infections very early on much has been made on you know the fact that all thora tarion nations have it have an easier go of things does it give that much credence. Yes of course if you have. A one party state and a very compliant population this is the advantage of actually bringing these interventions into place very early on with very High Compliance and worse you know is not a democracy. For handling pandemics. A fast moving pandemic like this one is a very effective. Tool to manage this. Kind just fascinates i wish we had more time to talk but thats all the time we do have great to get your perspective on this thanks very much indeed thank you. As the head here on aljazeera find out what the taliban says about the recent rising tide is not going to dominate the stories in qatar.

With the resignation of former president over what i was here in venezuela and what in bolivia sorry and when we lose yourself in the past in the past month in bolivia an interim administration in a way that has appeared inside the president ial palace carrying a bible is something that is very very offensive for indigenous communities in the country and it has also persecuted.

The winner of a president ial runoff in the self declared republican Northern Cyprus has been declared. Back by turkey as won by a narrow margin taken just over 51 percent of the vote results will likely have implications over the heightened tensions in the east mediterranean.

After the election we need a period of normalization where we take stock of things on the ground. And real stop me a sense of. Participation and inclusiveness.
