Furthermore, when the pkk declared its ceasefire on october 10, it said it was just to allow the elections to be conducted freely and fairly. The elections are now over. The kurds have good reason to feel that the government escalated the offensive against them in order to increase its election, and that tactic succeeded.

Molly we have heard from the government, saying it was prepared to resume negotiations with the kurds. Tell us more. Jasper a government spokesman said these talks would resume if the pkk disarmed.

Disarmw, the rebels after they have achieved what they want in the negotiations. You do not know it negotiate disarm before negotiations because then you weaken your own hand. I do not think that is going to work. I have been to the kurdish southeast of the country in several several times in the last several months. All of the kurds that i have interviewed simply do not trust receptor you erdogan do not trust tape aired again.

That is where Stephen Carroll is covering the latest from a major web summit underway there. This is the final day of events there. What do you have for us . Molly, lots of big ideas around the web summit today, and we will focus on the social media platform called regained. Called brigade. Thank you for joining us. Voter participation through social media how do you do at . I think we start by meeting people where they are, which means getting people connected to other friends and asked their opinions on big issues, showing engage. Re are ways to stephen how does it work . Matt we saw a really strong participation in the San Francisco mayor race. We saw that by giving people the tools to review their ballot ahead of time, they were more than likely to pledge their votes for candidates in really local races were people often do not even bother to vote. Stephen when you login, what sorts of questions are you being asked . Users can write their own positions, they are basically opinions on issues. Then people weigh in on reasons for their side and they try to convince one another. It is basically mapping Public Opinion and getting people to engage in a Public Discourse and get them to take action together. Stephen people do find it very annoying that people engage with it. How is brigade different . one of the biggest differences is that it is a context that is explicitly about civic this court, civic discourse, so on facebook it is out of place. Then we have tools for being able to take action together, which makes it very different from what you can do on facebook. We are on to 2016. We are starting at a National Level and hope that people will find out who they are voting for for president. Stephen thank you for speaking to us on france 24. We will have more interviews later in the day on france 24, but for now it is back to you. Reportingphen carroll from dublin. It is time for our press review. I am joined in the studio by Florence Villeminot no for a look at headlines. We are going to start off with news from asia, where the of china and taiwan are scheduled to meet on saturday. Flo it is the first since the chinese resolution since the Chinese Revolution of 1949. In china, if we look at the front page of china daily, they are talking about how this meeting between decision pain and ma yingjeou is a milestone. A quote from another chinese paper says that this meeting deserves the worlds applause. It is a major breakthrough for peace and a victory for rationality, according to the paper in its editorial. Molly we have seen a different take on things in taiwan. Independent sums the situation up right now. Is misspelled deliberately because we are betweenabout the strait taiwan and china. There are fears in taiwan that this could be a ruse by beijing to expand its influence. If we take a look at the press in taiwan, that is definitely what is coming out. You can see the Liberty Times talking about the opposition democratic critic democratic reservoir, saying this is a ruse either president. You can see a photo of him there because there are elections in january. President ial elections and parliamentary elections. He himself will not be up to present himself because he is coming to the end of his twoyear term. Under his watch, discontent at hasese influence in taiwan grown. A lot of people are critical of president ma because under his watch beijing has been extending its influence in taiwan. You can see here the editorial in the taipei times, critical of the president , saying this perhaps is a sly effort of his to try to slip into history. Molly lets cross now to canada, where the country has a new leader. Flo a new leader and a new cabinet. Justin trudeau unveiled his new cabinet yesterday. For the first time in canada plus history, there is an equal number of men and women in the cabinet. 15 maleme ministers, 15 female ministers. Trudeau himself looks like canada. That sayse this paper he definitely did set a fresh tone with this cabinet. The National Post has a piece describing the events yesterday saying that the atmosphere was providential and full of possibility on a day where civility was an antidote to the harbor years the harper years Stephen Harper in his previous predecessor. There is a cartoon in the National Post as well. You can see Justin Trudeau saying lets get down to work, but first lets have a group hug. Molly lets take a look at french papers. We have the leftleaning paper focusing on the ongoing migrant crisis. Flo a very striking front page today. Very graphic photo. We have decided to blur it here at france 24, but it essentially shows the body of a young boy that has washed up on the greek island of lesbos. Title, sayinge that every day there are two islands. He was a threeyearold boy who died off the coast of turkey in september. It sparked a wave of emotion across the world. His photo went viral, and he hopes it will be a wakeup call. Since his death, 108 children ,ave died in the aegean sea pretty much in total indifference. You do the math, and it comes up to it comes out to two such deaths in a day. Molly something being talked about in france, these are fears that the country could be on the verge of a baby crisis. What exactly is that . Flo this is a statistic that came out yesterday. During the first nine months of 2016, the number of births went down by 2. 75 compared to last year. It has been the first time there have been so few births since 1999. No panic, according to this article in le monde. The National Statistics bureau confirmed that france still has the highest fertility rate in europe. It is about 2. 1 children per women, something france is very proud of. Why is the number of births going down . The number of women having babies is not as big as it used to be. Good news for french women, bad news good news for french babies, rather, but that news for women in europe in general. If we take a look at another article in le monde, itxno nn we coevolve with our tools. We change our tools, and then our tools change us. Certainly the book has probably changed us more than any other tool. For 500 years, its been this incredibly important tool for humanity. Books are the foundation of civilization. You walk into someones house, whats the first thing you look at as aa literate human being . You look at their library. This can sound romantic, but the feel of a book, thethe texture of the paper, even its smell. They are the best way of preserving information ever invented. But in the digital, age we really have to start questioning what a book really is
