Armenia denies any involvement in the ganja or attack and accuses back you of continuing to shell heavily Populated Areas and cite nagornokarabakh. This man and schuster says these are a very rockets phillis we are respecting the cease fire but are the as a by johnnies respecting it where is the ceasefire dont look theyre firing the ship is full of these rockets this is prohibited ammunition.

Fortunately friends we do see fresh sides of optimism a rare glimmer of hope after the elusive pursuit of peace fire this is now 23 days of rather intense combat operations it is awful but john wants to surprise attack in late september what we see though is a new Diplomatic Initiative momentum driven on 3 levels a french demonstration of shuttle diplomacy coupled with a russian effort to fix your end broker a cease fire and almost finally a recent announcement that the armenian and all of the 24 and theirs will travel to washington for a meeting with u. S. Secretary of state pompei on friday this is especially important as france the u. S. And russia are the only mediators of this pot flick whats interesting about the washington meeting is it all 1st hoped for a breakthrough diplomatically where the momentum now is less on the battlefield and more in the diplomacy and it will be followed by a summit between armenia and azerbaijan with president ali of azerbaijan d and Prime Minister of hushing on throttling to moscow well there is a rare glimmer of hope after of john has rejected earlier call for a city fire yeah richard this all sounds very promising what is standing in the way then a diplomatic solution to this conflict. Lets be honest the one Party Standing in the waves the country i did not mention dirty dirty had been 5 steps and sidelines diplomatically felt i do expect Turkish Military support for us or john walsh so he graduated in june enough structure this outward octave insistence on continued fighting and in this way turkey oses the spoiler in.

Police in france have searched dozens of homes belonging to suspected islam is militants the raids are linked to last weeks beheading of a teacher in paris a minute of silence was held across the country for word the victim samuel pati he had used cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammad in a lesson about freedom of expression in moms were among the people who turned out to pay their respects outside the school where he worked in a paris suburb to treat that is important it is very important to calm him to show our sorrow to show that what happened here is not islam it is to work on who had nothing to do with religion. Religion is about making people live not to kill them. But. For more want to bring in our religious Affairs Correspondent Martin Jacques good evening to you margaret immigrant we just heard a french there very clearly speaking out against what happened in paris has the Muslim Community in france has it been loud enough in its condemnation of this attack 3rd. Well i mean you know the condemnation after the game from the usual quarters and these are public figures and concerned citizens that come out to the streets and sort of present condolences and contrition to some degree i. D. s why its a bit more difficult to know exactly what is happening within the community and when if they choose that sort of continues to i think bedeviled this entire discussion is this time. In european slim and friends has being sort of a particularly tough tough story but i mean belgium and germany have similar issues there is a an element within the Muslim Community of europe that sees you know a recourse to violence as a viable us a viable road to respond to offense. And of course what that means is that sporadically we see this kind of thing so i mean it is quite clear that these had a jihad is to components are there was a terrorist a component at the same time what hes true is that the way that the story sort of expanded from the school outwards into the Wider Community was through bartons and worth through people that were actually involved into school that were you know through facebook and through to either and through messaging were calling on other muslims and friends to actually you know do something i mean this is essentially not exactly a call for merit there but you know its quite clearly sort of a call for a response france is officially a secular countries how does that factor in to the public discussion that were that were hearing now about this murder. But i mean i think that this is sort of a central element in the french discussion i think its very important especially for american viewers who are you know when do you know that when we talk about secularism in france lacie day it does not really translate perfectly well to the english secularism i mean were just american idea of secularism has been built on the principle of protecting religious practices from incidents or sort of you know the force of his state the way that fringe the fringe community or the french political system things off lights he did have secularists and hes protecting the state from the religious from the political intentions of the religious communities so in a sense these are 2 very different approaches in france the question now is whether you know the Muslim Community that has to actually produce which is some degree this is something that happened within the Muslim Community has produced this kind of event is one that has been sort of appropriately integrated and given sort of the right opportunities to become part of the life he did project it is very hard to say whether you know. A system that thats not really find a way to confront offends and sort of those of us who live in Republican Democratic spaces that think that offense is part of our daily life. Are actually can be reconciled i think that these are very difficult territory of negotiation all right you w. s religious Affairs Correspondent martin thea helping us understand the response to this terrible terrible tragedy in paris martin thank you. Heres some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world police have used tear gas to disperse demonstrators in nigerias capital. Nationwide protests against Police Brutality started earlier this month the midwife spread anger over a Controversial Police unit which the government has since dissolved protesters are demanding an end to all Police Brutality and corruption. Guineas main opposition leaders said the ilo has declared himself winner of the countrys hotly contested president ial election.

To the United States where early voting has gotten underway in that critical battleground state of florida many polling stations are reporting along the lines some voters have been eagerly waiting to cast their ballots since before dawn one county had to close an early voting sign after the election supervisor and an employee tested positive for the coronavirus record numbers of americans more than 28000000. 00 have already cast their ballots the pandemic continues to loom large over the november 3rd election. Now there are still a few weeks to go until election day but many of the volunteers who usually help make sure that the elections run smoothly theyre the ones who are most vulnerable to this virus theyve decided to sit this election well for more on this story im joined now by my colleague here at the big table paid to roll a doll hes monitoring the u. S. Elections for us so tell me more people are so frank this was always going to be one of the most contentious elections in at least a generation i think that much has been clear for a while now but with this pandemic its really thrown a wrench into the engine of the american boxer see you know the likes of which the country is rarely seen so that is because these elections rely so heavily on volunteer workers experts estimate that roughly 1000000 volunteers are needed across the country for everything from men in the polling stations to helping voters fill out their ballots correctly or even are veterans or new voters but heres the catch typically those volunteers nearly 60 percent on average are over the age to 60 right and so that is also the same age group that Health Experts say is you know the most vulnerable to this virus and i talked to dan quartern he is from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania one of those critical but battleground states and he is one of the more the many see sent poll workers whose decides at the this one out at sea was that i am clearly in the category of people who are potentially at risk and i have no significant underlying conditions that im aware of but i am 71 years old and you know youre citing documents youre treating patients back and forth youre ending things off with the voters there is interaction and so based on all that i decided that it probably was this that at least this time i should sit it out. People like dan and the retired. The they have the time their key to these elections are what happens when they decide that they should stay home all this kind of really dramatic consequences take milwaukee for instance in another keep swing state wisconsin when it helped its. Primary elections back in april the city had such a dire shortage of volunteers that it had to close 175 of its 180 polling stations meaning only 5 left and that meant that many voters really had to wait for hours and and you know perhaps more lightning still meant that turnout quite significant become pared to 26 think sure and so whats being done now to cope with these shortages i mean these are huge shortages that youre talking about yes so you know thanks to can start recruiting efforts by the ships like power the polls were more than a vote which was launched by n. B. A. Star Le Bron James young people are helping to fill that gap left behind by people like dan korda in fact one of them is dans own daughter catherine where she lives in washington d. C. And joined me on this guy call with her dad and asked her about her decision to volunteer this isnt fair. So i like my dad. That is the one who would normally be at the polls i cant take my own dads place because i dont live where he does but i could replace somebody elses down here in the just. I am a relatively low risk person so much better to have me going and then somebody else and parents. I may not know the person here in europe but im taking the advice somebody has parents and that they matter so if i can keep that person from being at rest ill do everything i can yeah so its really its you know young people like katherine even some as young as 16 who cant vote yet really stepping up there to help ensure a safer in some of their election for all americans many stay safe they now met their targets but still some crucial ones including pennsylvania where down court and lives say that there is still reporting shortages if i can say one last thing though it is this you know more than these volunteer shortages the reality is that if you cant recruit all the people you want but there are many other challenges facing American Voters from Voter Suppression voter id laws. Poor voting infrastructure and i think to ensure free fair and smooth elections it will require more than simply recruiting a new generation of folks or it is far either disadvantage his daughter there the civic minded family i think the u. S. Needs more of the peter thank you thank you. Ari from north america to south america centrist candidate carlos mesa has conceded defeat in bolivias president ial election and has said that he will lead the countrys opposition the official results is yet to be but socialist candidate luis are saying is set to win he has a 20 percentage point lead that is a far larger margin of victory than what the polls had predicted are seen as a close ally of the former bolivian president evo morales who stepped down last year and fled into exile after claiming victory in a disputed election in the election that was a no. Johan ramirez joins me now from the pause good afternoon to you johann so what does victory what does it mean for the country. Victoria. Means a remarkable a remarkable coming back off everybodys party to the power here in bolivia to understand it i mentioned a piece of victory we had to just remember that one year ago we were in the same city and there were hundreds of thousands of people in the streets protesting against every morales i cutely him off a fraud and asking his resignation and one year later his party is back to power so it shows that believe it gets believe in socialism on a leader has given a 2nd chance to everyone on this ideology yeah i mean it is a remarkable change of the vents moving forward now the the new government what are the most urgent issues that it will have to address in bolivia. There are 2 main challenges for a new president one of them is the economy because of the pandemic the economy has been shaken the economy has decreased 7 percent this year and the Unemployment Rate has already rich and rich already 30 percent one 3rd of the population is on employed in this moment so its a big challenge for the new president but then he has to new united to this country believe that its a country that hes targeting has been very divided between people from the cities some people from a road or Indigenous People so united this country is going to be also a big challenge for loose ourself and what about the former president. How strong is his influence in these events if at all i mean is there also a chance that he might come out of exile. Actually is some hours ago he already has said that hes planning to come to believe that ferdinand directional Inauguration Day so it looks a very likely that his car is his going to be back to believe very soon. Take power but how closely is arses. Going to be from ever more obvious that we will have to wait to see because this is a very popular person here but he got but also very controversial so he has also many many investigations against him. For corruption scandals Drug Trafficking and even on and best occasional right now for the fia case so how close is our side wants to be from everywhere on this we have to wait to see maybe it is going to be distant from ever that more on this at least at the beginning of his administration all right to use your hunger miras joining us tonight with the latest in bolivia from was gone thank you.
