A powerful and influential country but its also very very far away and its trying to influence a conflict with deep historical roots that stretch back decades if not centuries you just mentioned the conflict dates back to the ele ninetys its actually a war thats older than the soldiers fighting it whats the mood like in armenia what are people saying about this. Well most of the armenians ive spoken to seem very very determined i mean its easy to say that of course when this type of conflict starts people often rally around the flag theres a lot of patriotism that you can see and you can see that in the streets here i mean theres lots of people Walking Around in military uniforms you see armenian flags everywhere lots of advertisements on t. V. On the radio encouraging people to support the troops but the people ive talked to take it a little bit further than that i mean i talked to several parents of soldiers who are basically they were they were volunteers they werent actually formally trained soldiers they got 2 or 3 days of training and then they were already sent to the front and of course these parents were incredibly proud of their children and many of the people ive been speaking to actually say its more than just a patriotic duty they point to some of the ethnic lines that lead up to the original conflict back in the ninetys saying that you know its our responsibility to protect the armenians living in ca to bach and many of them go further back than that and they say this is still connected to the genocide of armenians back during the 1st world war and they basically frame it as saying this is about the survival of our culture in the region so the people im talking to some very very determined to see this conflict through our correspondent thank you. Yulia har has been finding out more about the civilian toll of the conflict she sent us this report from the town of daraa in azerbaijan thats just about 20 kilometers from the frontline that. If. You go fire the live shows us where he used to live until very recently i have. To say a rocket hit his house in early october he says were not so. Far to go quite often they showed us. His home for 35 years bearing down to the walls i never worked over the whole family was sitting here watching t. V. And suddenly there was an explosion in the backyard everything started burning we ran outside and called the Fire Fighters but when they arrived it was already too late to review. And memories. Want to go far as early as is convinced that our 1000000 is responsible for the attack the neighboring country deliberately bombed many civilian targets in the area he says. We cant independently verify this we are not allowed to move freely near the front line we are only allowed to film with the as of a johnny authorities let us film thank you. This school and bar for example even if it looks like it the children here are not students. They are refugees this has been an emergency shelters since the fighting started a month ago. Was right at the entrance a memorial for. Rafal an azerbaijani soldier everyone here is convinced that their army is fighting for a just cause the schools vice principal doesnt believe that their votes have been attacks on armenian civilians. In men laughed at us and then. I dont know much about whats happening on the armenian side i only know what i see on t. V. Here but i can say that the armenians are losing and must retreat so they dont have any other options we are not trying to take armenian territory we are fighting for what belongs to us tentacle. Has been at the school for a few weeks now with his wife and 3 granddaughters fare from tower tower right on the border with nagornokarabakh lately the clashes there have intensified. Im worried about the girls theyre just kids they were so scared of the fighting how are they supposed to know what explosions are they should go to school and study but they shouldnt have to learn what bombs and missiles sounds like when that. At the moment the children seem safe iraq is about 20 kilometers from the frontline but nobody knows when they will be able to return home or whether it will soon become too dangerous here tonight. There were celebrations across chile on sunday after some 80 percent of voters back to proposal to replace the nations constitution with a new one for many its a final repudiation of the 1980 s. Military dictatorship referendum followed a year of widespread and often violent protests for a pensions education and health care. And streets familiar with an arrest now overcome by celebration. The supporters are jubilant soaking up a result that will lead to the scrapping of chiles dictatorship era constitution. They had to sit down with its amazing to be part of this historical moment to be able to vote to feel such pride of being part of this great change and of the results that that will give them have. Now theyre back to the truth is im delighted im very proud of the results and this is showing that this is what the people want and theres a very large majority. For. President Sebastian Pinera who agreed to hold the very top 10 months of social unrest says its an opportunity to forge a new future for the nation the little until now the constitution has divided us we must all work together. So that the new constitution is the great framework of unity and stability. Long lines and strict pandemic controls were a feature of voting day people are even urged to bring their own pens. Today has its roots in street protests that erupted late last year but it increases to public transport fares. It soon turned into a much Bigger Movement frustrated by inequality in shalane society. The current constitution was implemented during the dictatorship of guster pinochet and many see it as something that prevents attempts to address poverty and inequality. It symbolizes the injustice that this country suffered and how the people rebelled against the constitution this puts an end to the dictatorship of pinochet and his chiles transformation to democracy. The plebiscite not only asked if the constitution should be scrapped but who should rewrite it. To lay in strongly supported having it really written by a group of elected citizens rather than a mixture of politicians and citizens once their members are chosen they will begin drafting a new constitution putting it to voters in mid 2022. And i was some of the other stories making headlines around the world today Lithuania Center right Opposition Party and union as one the countrys parliamentary elections its leader. Is expected to become Prime Minister in a Coalition Party with 2 liberal parties both of which are also led by women the current governing party came in a distant 2nd. Japans Prime Minister usually he committed to the country to achieving 0 Carbon Emissions by 2050 marking a shift in policy or said green reforms could lead to Major Economic growth to promise the latest countries set similar targets following china the u.

Companies involved in selling arms to taiwan the companies include Lockheed Martin raytheon and a division of boeing the u. S. Recently approved the sale of almost 2. 1000000000. 00 worth of weapons to taiwan which china claims its territory. Thailands largest Opposition Party has called for Prime Minister. To resign the start of a special parliamentary debate dealing with on going street protests the Prime Minister called the session in a bid to end months of demonstrations on sunday thousands again took to the streets of the capital bangkok the student led groups are demanding a new constitution and reforms to curb the powers of the monarchy. We are joined by journalist mathias paired bangkok what is so were the titans parliament began a special session today i mean really expect to break through that. And not really im afraid we can expect a lot of speeches in those 3 days but most observers dont think they were that there would be significant action coming from their Parliament Special session now is a nonvoting session that means there wont be any outcome that will be binding for the government the members of parliament they can make some suggestions of how to handle this crisis. But the government can fall out or suggestions are not most of their prodemocracy activists they are not really confident that the parliament terry process will have that much. They have lost faith in a Parliament Since one of the major opposition was dissolved earlier this year and also made. What is the king of thailand he spends more time in germany actually than in thailand protesters now say they would petition germany to investigate the kings use of his power while in europe can you tell us more. Yet today they have called for a protest in front of the chapman embassy in bangkok. Activists they are referring to a statement made by germanys foreign minister heikal moscow earlier this month he said it does not want to tie king to conduct any kind of official state business from germany regarding thailand i mean the German Government spect is that. The children conscripts to germany are private so they think its not appropriate for him to rule from a german soil and the activists. Wants to know more about this issue and demanding an investigation from the German Government. And foreign minister he also reacted to distil and at a press Conference Today he said that cross the channel government look into what the king has been doing achievement but he also royalists thailand they criticize the protest movement and social media they even threaten violence how divided is the country yet that is certainly some form of division in the country we have seen today also in front of the chairman and the another ereli by supporters of the monarchy. Then. Second relieved by opponents of the current regime basically at the same venue at the same day. Prodemocracy activists were much bigger than the really off this part of the government but nevertheless it is quite. A few months off the prodemocracy activists they are still facing a lot of resistance among royalists and among people who supports the monarchy and support the current government. But theyre reporting from bangkok thailand thank you. Opposition figures in bill roos are calling for a nationwide strike to go ahead today as they seek to increase pressure on hardly daal example look assange to step down and release all Political Prisoners so fast Like University students have been seen on the streets of minutes the government says the companys Major Companies are operating normally on sunday more than 100000 protesters again marched around the Country Security forces fired stun grenades and arrested hundreds of participants. Thats now go to journalists. In a bed i was tell us what are you hearing about the general strike are people actually staying up at home. Where there are different kind of directions and format for months that this strike is taken basically the rock plans in minsk and all of the country the joint the nation right strike its really hard to assess the actual scale but in the morning we saw that the workers at each of these large state enterprises but outside were there were inside but there they were just marching just discard of riling walking and kind of annoyed what not work and also students joined the strike and there are really like hundreds of them in minsk and in growth in some other cities over the country that about also kind of protesting the strike and they are being detained right now at the moment and theyre also private companies i. T. Companies that the joint strike or some could face some shops so its happening in i think it will be on the kind of growing on increasing. Well Public Service employees and Civil Servants have been threatened with being fired if they oppose the government could that have any effect on the walkout. Of course thats the only the kind of the main reason why this is not i would say massive at this stage because people are always this scared of all the right examples that there have been already examples of workers who have been arrested and will run people that they are of course scared also people who are fired it also depends on crowd funding efforts of on these funds who are trying to make sure that workers receive compensation for or 5 of their fires or they were jailed so the reason kind of cool in infrastructure that was new its to kind of help with those workers and it also depends on kind of the success on this feed. Of how the they are able to deliver this help. Very briefly the reporters who have been going on for 3 months now where do you see them going i dont see they would decrease because people are defined people are resilient of of course people are tired at the same time no demand of people was mapped and people obviously have a whole reason to show their discontent so i see those protests continuing journalist. Reporting from berlin thank you so much as europe tries to contain a 2nd wave of the corona virus pandemic one of the most important tools is testing bus testing is expensive and time consuming and many Health Authorities are struggling with capacity such as in finland now working on a much cheaper but still reliable alternative passengers arriving at the finish apple wants and choose to be tested by specially trained sniffer dogs. For a treat preferably cathode this snout can be programmed to find just about anything more bed bugs cancer now it could change the course of corona virus detection meat. Rescued from being euthanized as a puppy in spain hes returned that favor for years sniffing out deadly disease for the wise new smell Detection Association in billund as coded 19 began to spread to see was asked as an experiment to try to detect it took him 7 minutes to figure out that this is what they want it to look for so that. You know dog be able to change training sense in 7 minutes. The team quickly learned canines can detect a coded 1000. 00 infection even 5 days before symptoms appear with almost 100 percent accuracy helsinki airport is hosting a Pilot Project through december that will include cross referencing canine results with those for medical devices if you talk to the skin so here it just takes a simple swab from a restore neck. And this is terrible yes and couple of seconds a dog can tell immediately if a person has contract it coronavirus. So i received a negative as all the voluntary tests are proving popular but no positive signal yet from the finnish government about scaling up the program so since dogs are incredibly more effective much less expensive and far less intrusive than other ways of detecting the virus why arent public authorities everywhere rushing to use their noses instead of ours we found one who is. Is deputy mayor of vaughan the site of the airport i pods he did it in 2 minutes took me 2 minutes out and get this budget covers the free tests offered to all arriving passengers he allocated 330000 euros total to the 4 month dog study meanwhile he expects it will cost up to 300000000. 00 euros per month for the medical option the nasal swab its quite expensive operation of course but the docs are like 75. 00 you know a month. To says the data from this study should help bring in federal funds for expansion of canine testing as well as legal adjustments to upgrade the virus sniffing dogs authority to that of their counterparts working in customs we get a really good about iraqs future like they can. Assist and they can surveil because both on a human bjorkman is thinking far beyond. Airports we could train dogs with the same samples with the same train areas to open up. You know the concert halls or or being fair is or go to big working places hospitals or elderly homes football matches whatever both your command and poverty line and warn if dylan doesnt harness the potential of the dawn program itself theyll unleash it elsewhere we can well because of that.

Ever lose your own not quite as cuba tries to modernize women are still fighting for gender equality. And all that glitters is not gold sometimes its mica in india child miners collect a mineral widely used in cosmetics. Cellphones and Electronic Devices all contain cobalt and gold medals that are often extracted in some of the worlds poorest regions and conflict zones and conditions. 1000000 children between the ages of 5 and 17 are forced to work in these mineral mines according. The organization stopped child labor on average they earned less than 2. 00 a day mining Raw Materials for a sector that sees revenues totalling 700000000000. 00 a year the global Mineral Industry is booming but the poor and vulnerable are paying the price. Come out heavy and her 5 year old son roger turned the earth in search of mica the glittering mineral plays a vital role in this regions economy for many people mining the raw material is the only way to survive. Children working for hours in the blistering sun in the indian state of jharkhand its nothing out of the ordinary to a better bear let alone my children are so young but theres no other way of making a living here theres no farming or nothing that i cant afford to send them to school they have to help me that they manage to 2 and have kilos a day we work until 5 in the evening that they used to be more than 700. 00 official mica mines in northern india but in 1900 new law came into force banning deforestation that made it almost impossible to access new sources of the mineral but Companies Left but the mines remained today some 50000 adults and children work here illegally almost all the workers are darl it sue the lowest rung in the indian caste system many are members of indigenous tribes who are socially marginalised because theres little in the way of industry in the area people are reliant on the mines a kilogram of mica can bring up to the equivalent of 20 euro cents but often they receive just half of that. Middleman clean the mineral in large filter drums the platelets are then current into varying sizes and this is how it enters the market. The word mica describes a group of naturally occurring silica materials that are rigid yet at the same time elastic. For. Many Industries Use the mineral in huge quantities among them the cosmetics sector. A few years ago Anna Maria Yeager and her husband kayu founded their company lethal cosmetics the yeagers strands that all the ingredients the firm uses are v can add ethically sourced in other words they guarantee no animal testing was involved in production and no child labor one of the key role materials lethal cosmetics uses is mica some of it comes from india here we have 3 different types of mica. At this is there for example of a sparkling version which also has a medic effect. And what is great about this standard space parking but its completely natural so its free for any plastics. Behaviors cant imagine making their cosmetics without mica thats why they decided to hand pick their supplier in india they chose a distributor who was able to provide assurances that his mica only comes from mines that dont use child labor. Although in the sector its often difficult to determine where the material originated the key to that is having to pipe cases that are as short as possible because if youre buying from a distributor was buying from another distributor it becomes very interesting area where things come from with our suppliers its one supplier thats often the manufacturer that also works directly with the mines that also does the audits of the mines and has been the can be audited as well and that is where we gain that confidence mike it is used in a wide range of applications the biggest buyer in 2015 in terms of market value was the elektra onyx industry followed by companies that added the minolta paints and lacquers might also finds widespread use in the Construction Industry and of course it plays an Important Role in the cosmetics sector. Every day come on that we enter sun toil away to help satisfy the Global Hunger for micah they never have any problem selling what theyve collected to one of many traders if they receive 150 rupees a little under 2 euros then its a good day she says thats enough to buy some vegetables some rice but for that everyone has to pitch in including both her daughters aged 7. 00 and 9. 00. Advocates and now im always afraid when im working that out the bitten by insects or snakes or that ill fall into a pit oh its called fire and id really like to go to school. But we need money we dont even have our own house so i have to collect like. An ambiguous law has been in place in india since 2016 no child under the age of 14 is allowed to work but the government itself concedes that around 12000000 children and young people are doing just that aid organizations estimate there are around 40. 4000000 child laborers in india. Its thought that around 22000 children are working in illegal mines in the states of jharkhand and bihar. Many of them have never known a life without work through because of their size theyre often made to crawl into freshly dug unsecured pants and shafts. Im always afraid when im looking for mica not long ago over there 2 or 3 children of my age were buried in more of the shops and they died i want to go to school i dont want this. For companies that work with my Hair Products its a perpetual balancing act between marketing and morals business and conscience but lethal cosmetics in berlin the jaegers are trying to tackle the issue head on wherever possible they want to know exactly where their role materials are coming from they also dont try to conceal from their customers that they use mica is the entire regions of india that are financially dependent on mica and so if you replace it with something for example something synthetic youre basically taking away their livelihood so i think its absolutely within our responsibility of course to offer within the responsibility of everybody in the chain to make sure that its produced as ethically as well. Because medics industry is very secretive when it comes to micah 2017 saw the launch of the responsible Mica Initiative an alliance of companies obtaining mica from india they all say they have a clear goal to end child labor in the mines by 2022 but an interview on the subject to camera well all our requests including those sent to begin. History names like man the Current Group and a clue passe were turned down. If you ask the miners of jharkhand how to solve a problem they say genuine change can only come if mining is once again officially allowed because thats the only way to offer workers clear Safety Standards and a fair wage then their children wouldnt have to work some politicians have been demanding the reintroduction of official mining for a long time i did valma good or good but were all child labor can only be abolished if the government legalizes the mines and it companies assume responsibility companies could then join forces to create cooperatives for the children we need a sufficient number of Public SchoolsFree Education free meals and basic amenities to enable them to lead a better life. But nothing is changing the government tolerates the system turning a blind eye on a sector that makes a lot of money from micah and the children forced to work with it this young man a child labor himself just a few years ago is in despair yard you cannot be much you can see that all the labor is here are giving their sweat and blood theyre breaking their bones what kind of life is this you not get it get like its the government cant just look the other way dont we deserve better than this that were never. The north to no poll this week school team lives in the capital kathmandu. 6 6 6 my name is asked by new im 17 years ago and i live here in their pocket mind. My father on in general saul there are 10 minutes walk from here and my mother is the house and if. I want to be a dentist i want to generalize or to have a kid in there who has a pet i want to help. I love reading books and besides i write i think i then i will all have differing certain to win then the favorite thing is reading books. 6 which you. Really dont i mean that the biggest problem and i think it is we can see kids starving and then we waste food in here that does not make sense does it. I have a lot better life than my grandparents and they didnt have access to all the fascinating things we have like electricity it was not generalized back then but it is now. Change might be underway in nepal but 14000 kilometers away in the caribbean progress in cuba is happening at a slower pace in many ways the country is still culturally and socially isolated the legacy of the cuban revolution when communist revolutionary fidel castro took power in 1959 he nationalized industries and seized the u. S. Owned property worth 1000000000. 00 in 1960 the u. S. Retaliated with a trade embargo that remains in place today. Many cubans are unhappy with a low standard of living and restrictions on travel and up to leave if they can socialism has given Women Education employment and in theory equal rights but they still contend with patriarchal attitudes shaped by the revolution Cuban Society remains staunchly sexist a place where its far from easy for a woman to assert her individuality.
