A constitution drawn up under the military leadership of augusta national. Calls for a National Strike and better routes as pressure grows on the president to resign. Shops closed curfews imposed under state of emergency in place new measures to stop the spread of private 19 across europe. A 3rd attempt to uphold a humanitarian ceasefire between azerbaijan and armenia has now come into effect the 2 sides have been fighting over the disputed territory of no gonna carry back as during previous attempts to stop the conflict both have already accuse the other side of violating the agreement this latest truce was mediated by the United States despite heavy fighting on sunday but our correspondent joins us live from getcha in azerbaijan a 3rd attempt now in as almost as many weeks its what 3 hours old now both sides already accusing each other of violations where is this going to go. I think its a bit early to say where its going to go if you base it on the 1st 2 announcements of cease fire the 1st one being oktober 10th and then a week after the 17th then this is all the reason to be a bit skeptical about. Fear mation. As you said there have been accusations. That had already been violated but by and large if i go there early hours. Early hours of a 17th was when that 2nd ceasefire was supposed to come in place it is much calmer certainly not an indication that. Things could unravel or hold is a bit too early to say that but by and large it is calm at this moment thats good to hair i also understand as ari forces had been taking villages in the lead up to this attempted a ceasefire how are civilians they coping and in the face of that the ongoing advance. Well the civilians actually. Actually supporting this war whoever you speak to tells you the army this time has the upper hand is not anymore the army of the ninetys when as a by john was given really a humiliating defeat a bitter defeat that no one has forgotten here as a army is making advances and those at that and those gains are basically announced on a daily basis yesterday another key town the town of go badly which is north west of. Itself towards the border in armenia and also closing in from the north from a part they took under control a town called so certainly people are very happy about that also because terry tauriel gains means yes. Those areas that belong to a nearby jail but also getting hold of natural resources. Its been nearly 30 years since water was lost flowing into farmlands along the line of control between azerbaijan and armenia to see if his crops of wheat clover and cotton. Has to take up with enough to reach the underground. I remember when the water was plentiful here i remember when these canals were built it was 974 rivers waters were rich in minerals and the crops were very good underground water is not as rich in minerals anymore my annual yield is much lower and the quality of the crops is not as good. Is one of the issues at the heart of the conflict between the 2 countries people here say their livelihood has been taken hostage by armenia which had controlled the main reserve wire that supplies the water system in these from time areas until just a few weeks ago the tartar rivers fed by the dam which was built by the soviets but then fell under control after 8 seasons as a very land in the early 1990 s. Now azerbaijan says that. Stopped the flow of water so the river bed would dry up. As a belgian announced it had retaken control of the reserve were in the 2nd week of the conflict. The road leading there is a ready under construction despite its proximity to the front line and continues shelling. And water has started trickling again to the title river which runs about 200 kilometers along the cutter but region and surrounding areas. Water started to arrive in some regions but it hasnt reached everywhere yet we need the water to start flowing the river again we are depleting the underground water and we need the water from the reservoir to increase the underground reserves is going to take time before the farmers here enjoy water flowing in their canals again many need to be weeded out and repaired it will also take time before the tartar river is full again but for many here at the little water that is a ready reaching it is a sign that as if by jens army at the moment is making some territorial gains cut up that hamid karzai. Now thousands have celebrated through the licensure as the country voted in favor of rewriting its constitution an overwhelming majority chose to scrap the current charter that was imposed under the military dictatorship of augusta pinochet but there is still a long journey before a new constitution is put into place as a latin america editor lucien human reports from the capital santiago. A massive celebration to mark the end of the last vestige of chiles former military dictatorship. One chorus this family in the same part of santiago that became the epicenter of protests for more than a year. Millions of chileans whod been calling for profound social reforms had demanded a new constitution to replace the one written 40 years ago under the military dictatorship the country dressed in his sunday best 90 year old who looked at our school when to vote in his. Working class neighborhood not even concerns about the coronavirus pandemic could keep him at home but. Ive never had a historic opportunity like this before and never will again its the 1st time that we get to participate in the creation of a constitution that we can happen in puts in the traditional structure of our country instead of having it imposed i only hope i live to see the new chili. On the other side of town members of the youngest generation of voters or excited about having cast a ballot for the very 1st time this is the 1st institutionalized saints or election that i have ever been convinced its going to work because. Well this is a very important particularly. When the vote counting began it was clear the chileans by an overwhelming majority had approved the formation of a constituent assembly whose delegates will be chosen by popular vote and with gender parity they will ultimately be the ones to draft a new constitution a process that could take 2 years there was never much doubt about which choice chileans would make but now that its official the chileans will be writing a new constitution the big question is will they have the patience to wait for that change that theyve just voted for to take place. Upon this is a decision fear it will create false expectations and lead to economic instability which will only fan more social unrest. Im concerned about the way this is being generated we need change but not so drastically calmly. Conservative president s of us who had hoped for a very different outcome conceded defeat in a conciliatory message to the country. Until now the constitution has divided us from today we must all Work Together so that the new constitute. Is the great framework of unity stability in future. Its unlikely that this referendum will put social demands for a more inclusive country on hold but at least for now many of those who lost hope of change in the future feel they have achieved an important victory to see in human al jazeera santiago.

You know they maybe didnt think it was going to go to trump so i think they know ok we want to last time we got a shot this time too and i think people realize how pivotal wisconsin is in wisconsin and elsewhere political lines makers say battleground state polls are more reliable than they were when trump won upset victories across the great lakes states but 2016 has left many wary i think biden will win wisconsin but i think it will be fairly narrow even though the polls are saying 5. 00 to 7. 00 points it wouldnt surprise me if it came down to a point like last time or maybe 2 points whatever the polls say if theres one thing we learned from wisconsin in 2016 is that you cant take this great lakes state for granted john hendren aljazeera door county wisconsin.
