1st video appearance since being discharged from the hospital after being poisoned. Also had this years nobel prize for physics is awarded to 3 scientists and their discoveries about one of the most mysterious objects in the universe were talking black hole. And inspired all these jaguars record breaking the french open over the 1st hour were going to reach the last 16 at 12 down by americas daniel calling. Ok lets get going we begin this news hour with a dramatic turn of events in the political turmoil thats currently gripping kyrgyzstan after mounting pressure from protesters the Election Commission the house now the early results of sundays parliamentary vote thats after a night of violence where demonstrators stormed state buildings there accusing the government of rigging the election in its favor the protesters for the former president back some bias and other senior officials from prison the current president s bekoff has insisted he is still in control of the entire country Charles Stratford has more now from the capital city bishkek. Constitutionally the members of Parliament Parliament still stands because of that Central Election Committee announcement that the results have been an alt but it has been an incredibly fast moving day 24 hours if you like. Certainly the smalling there were scenes of chaos around that parliamentary building with various different claims being made by opposition parties and members of those parties saying that they had common did control of certain government institutions they seems to have been the sons break up of the sense of unity that we felt the night before in the square i think its fair to say that this announcement by the central Election Commission will be welcomed by those opposition groups of these these. These opposition parties that weve seen competing in the selection but were already beginning as i say to see that sense of competition and rivalry between these groups starting. To appear again which is no bad thing of course is testament to the kind of level of democracy that this country is proud of its not forget that those opposition groups were holding healthy lively debates between themselves in the run up to election that is now being seen as being deeply flawed. So how did we get to where we are as of now kyrgyzstan declared independence from the Old Soviet Union in 1991 before it was formally dissolved its gone through 2 revolutions 252010 both saw the then president at the time being toppled the last parliamentary elections were 5 years ago the Ruling Social Democratic Party took the most seats International Observers described the vote as transparent but needing improvement for sundays vote was incredibly competitive and accusations of voter fraud came quickly 16 parties were vying for just 120 seats in the Parliament Building lets get more on this joining us here on the news Joanna Lillis in el monte in kazakstan she is a central asia analyst and contributor to the economist and eurasia net journalists welcome to the news hour what has to shift or change before they can mount Credible Elections the next time round. Well i mean for for the stuff i think its very ambitious to even be thinking about mounting a credible election if somebody has to be thinking about mounting any kind of election at the moment and take a stand as you say the results of this election have been an old but really despite president chen back also continued insistence that hes in charge of a power vacuum and take a stand thats the goal obviously hes lost a great deal of credibility off the protests this business thousands stormed his president ial palace off not shouting jam bekele. As you know secondly his whereabouts i dont even know you know hes gone to ground so. The president is you know is certainly not in control everyone. In bishkek the capital is wondering what comes next will he be able to cling on to power what would he even want to cling on to our you mentioned yourself but take a subtotal to press that this had revolutions in it sort of short history so you know jim backus is very much aligned here and its not clear whether its and in order to have any kind of election you need to have some kind of credible and a government that was in actual political control of the Country Company with thing you know resignations of officials with seeing. Rival groups coming in trying to lay claim to certain posts with saying local officials that being down who are associated with the president really we just dont know whos in control so they cant stage any kind of election until its a who is in control so its very much touch and go and its really early days to be stalking talking about. Restaging any kind of election that would be accepted by the papal after that hectic vote which you mentioned people believe it was rigged in favor of progovernment parties and also rampant but i was one of the things that in a sense that people allocations that votes were simply up for sale a growing rate of about 25. 00 will this decision on the pulse of the Electoral Commission to a the elections that were now talking about elections i guess in some senses that never were really because theres been no will that be enough to take the heat out of the situation. Well its very much unclear at the moment the situation as charles on the ground a bit legend is moving really fast that very fluid certainly is one of the key demands and so it will take out some of the heat from the situation and the protests those have gone what they originally set out to do on to me they got the results coming in on monday morning they gathered then in bishkek yesterday morning and that was their 1st really their only demand at that time but in march was that all the election know the results of the election hold it again they got what they wanted there you see then things moved on because you know pitch battles with the police and then their demand that the president should go that the demand that hasnt been met so although it will take the heat out of this situation that were seeing protests pop up around the country associated with different actions not only in the capital bishkek and its very difficult to predict whether that will really be enough to appease those angry protesters who were of course by the end of it demanding that the president should step down join are talking about the protest as is one of the potential situations here. The idea that the persist movement is not unified they cant rally behind one flag and they seem to have a kind of a fracturing fishery in process going on in their own movement anyway just now from the getgo. Yes absolutely right i mean they its hard to even call them a movement because there were 16 party is fighting this election and. Only the preliminary results showed im 12 of those shots out of all the men and event at least one of those that will win that once thought to have made it into parliament judging by the religious preliminary results also didnt accept the results of the election so youve got this very fractured you know loose coalition of more than 10 parties who really span the political spectrum from nationalists to 2 to liberal reformers and to to to to you know lots of different kinds of forces who dont really have much in common so for them to find common cause its going to be their only common cause is that they dont accept the results of the election and many of them would like this the the president resign but Going Forward its going to be extremely hard to hold any kind of coalition together and thats whats really in a way different from the previous revolutions in cases than when clear theres been a clear movement to emerge a clear and maybe leader to take over here its a wide open field and thats also obviously rather dangerous with the risk of a power back ok great to get your insight on this complex story that with that we do need to told you on a list that torchwood join us thank you very much. A car bomb explosion at a bus stop in syria has killed at least 16 people children are among at least 40 others injured in the city well in aleppo province the attack is the most serious there for months.

Hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough on the worlds longest complex will be live on the ground in armenia and across the border in azerbaijan. In sports stepping up to challenge the international who made a big move on transfer deadline day. The Turkish Foreign minister is criticizing International Efforts to end the conflict between azerbaijan and armenia who offered his full support to azerbaijan during a visit to the capital city baku he says diplomacy has failed to resolve the conflict in the gonna come about over the last 30 years dozens have been killed in the last 10 days we have a team on the ground weve got Bernard Smith in armenia 1st lets go to. Barbara as a synonym youre joining us there from azerbaijan horse was the latest on the ground from where you are. Science of diplomatic tolstoi of our own going in there as a result capital back to the day the battle the frontline is still the same intensive fighting is ongoing yesterday as we have reported some cities have been fired missiles and the terrorists are region the territory a city which is by and theyre going to occur. The socalled contact line has been. Under heavy shelling according to the Defense Ministry here in a bridge on a yesterday and today this still ongoing we are hearing there are some other missiles that have reached round in the same area but it hasnt been officially announced yet so we are waiting for official as announcements for days the civilian areas that are being targeted is a matter of issue for both sides as you know peter and here in baradei yesterday there were 10 crocus thats hit 3 of them hit actually outside the city about 7 reached the city center buried where i am standing is one of the all the cities with an ancient history john and people really adore this city thats why this is the 1st time they say the city itself was it was targeted by a missile directly so everybody is curious life is ongoing in a way but of course you have thousands of displaced people not only in azerbaijan but in our menieres well and they are trying to keep up to date there are more there are lots of volunteers who are going to be. Going to the front lines or most of the front lines to to to to increase the motivation of the azerbaijan military but whenever you speak to people they say this is what they are used to they have been in fight for 30 years and they are not afraid that they will continue to defend their lands that they say ok they were applied by the army and forces. In the learning curve ball but with this 5. Relatively quiet miss today the battle on the ground in the frontline plus the air battle is continuing here sin and thank you very much Bernard Smith joins us from doris in media. Youve been to a Distribution Center of course the situation like there. Well peter goras like other towns in armenia is hosting people whove been displaced from the fighting in nagornokarabakh many many thousands of them so the 8 Distribution Center we were out was handing out food that has been donated by our media to Ethnic Armenians who are sheltering here many hotels are putting Ethnic Armenians many of us are staying with friends and relatives and although stepanek hurts the main city and are going to care about was relatively quiet today we understand that in the last sort of hour or so early this evening bombardments have started again japan occurred was heavily bombarded on monday and we now know that the Prime Minister of amenia nicol passion in was that at the time that information has just been released now that he was visiting the president of no go in a car back in the in the military that he spoke on Television Last night we saw him in. Civilian clothing in what was a was a could have been a bunker and we now know that he was at the time he was instapundit could have been more military casualties as well for the armenians 21 more servicemen killed taking up a number 244 seats fighting broke out people are still leaving to panic curts and there are still of appeals for d homes and hotels to put them up thank you very much ben and smith in chorus that. Well thing with that. Is an expert on this region she explained to me earlier the lines with azerbaijan could affect any potential cease fire. Their terror position has so far been very much in support of us and by johns military operations so im im not sure that this is going to actually be the result but i keep hoping that turkey is going to exert pressure on us and by john but who are president aliyev so that there is some kind of negotiation on a cease fire and that the doors are open for some sort of meaningful meaning for talks on the future of the region because i think the situation is extremely dangerous extremely volatile and this could result in our in the long term war that goes on and on i hope it is not the last chance but it is the beginning of an effort by turkey to really rein in its ally i said by john but i mean we are not certain because so far turkey has been supporting muslim military to a certain extent as i john but maybe they came to the understanding that there is a need to calm the situation down so im not relies on turkey on on on how this encounter will result from this encounter so it is very important that we follow these events and to understand exactly what the message is from turkey ok lets talk about it 19 iran has registered more than 4000 new coronavirus cases just in the past 24 hours the Record Number of infections takes the total number of cases to just under half a 1000000 in the country more than 27000. 00 iranians have been killed by the virus the Health Ministry says the whole country is now on red alert live now to tehran of my colleague said how these infection numbers unpacking. Well this is very concerning for authorities here now theyre saying that this is the 3rd wave yesterday the death toll is 235 now thats the highest death toll the country has faced match the death toll back in july and that was during the 2nd wave of the virus now there is a semi lockdown in place here in the capital and officials have voiced their concerns describing the situation here as catastrophic a tsunami and critical now cafes gyms closed pools universities and schools are supposed to be closed but ive been out into one today and there are still some businesses open and thats concerning for thirtys because theres almost a coronavirus fatigue taking place adherence to Health Protocols at the start of this virus when it hit the country back in february was around 80 percent and now here in the capital structure around 40 percent and thats concerning for the authorities but the other concern is the economy the country is under u. S. Sanctions inflation is on the increase and the currency has been losing value and to give you an idea of that back in february 1. 00 equaled around one 130000. 00 reals and today its around 1. 00 to 290000. 00 real so the country is struggling and there are warnings that hospital beds are filling up and if this continues they may be forced to open field hospitals but theres also been criticism of the government officials they some have said that there needs to be a lockdown not a one week lockdown and from saturday this week. That wearing face masks in public will be made compulsory so already compulsory enclosed areas will be made compulsory outside in public but again its about the adherents to those Health Protocols about social distancing and right now the government and the authorities are really concerned in that spike in new infections but just to be clear i mean iran is different to other countries i mean around the world we are seeing the infection rate climb but the death rate in other countries is not climbing proportionately but the death rate in iran is also climbing. Yes absolutely you know we dont know the breakdown of these officials although these figures although 2 days ago the official said that half the death were here in the capital to her on what the government is struggling with is getting medicines into the country because of those sanctions and trying to get the Health Service given that vital support that it needs and thats why officials are not downplaying the virus here as as you reported say for example in the United States officials here are saying that people need to take this very seriously and do not treat lockdown here as a holiday because some people have taken the opportunity to travel to other parts of the country therefore spreading the virus again increasing that risk of infection and as youve seen 235. 00 people dead in the last since yesterday that was for 24 hours yesterday today its around 227 and thats very concerning for the government because they see that increase in new infections but also an increase in deaths. Reporting the news from iran are so good to talk to you thank you very much. Now after just 3 nights in hospital the u. S. President donald trump has now returned to the white house and despite being hospitalized for cope with 19 hes called on americans not to fear the virus but his recovery is not over with mr trumps doctors saying the president is not out of the woods yet still he was keen to appear in good spirits by posting this video shortly after he returned to the white house.
