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. Lots more ground still to cover for you here on the news hour including the u. S. President playing down coronavirus as he leaves hospital and returns to the white house but his doctors say hes not out of the woods yet. 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. Dont let it dominate dont let it take over your lives dont let that happen were the greatest country in the world were going back were going back to work were going to be out front and now im better and maybe im immune i dont know but dont let it dominate your lives get out there be careful we have the best medicines in the world and theyre all happened very shortly and theyre all getting approved and the vaccines are coming momentarily thank you very much and want to read what a group of people well on the campaign trail his democratic challenger joe biden criticized trumps flouting of wearing a mask telling n. B. C. News he wants the president to send the right message i would hope that the president having gone through what he went through and im glad he seems to be coming along pretty well who would communicate the right less than the American People masts matter these mass matters it matters it saves lives it prevents the spread of the disease ok lets bring in kimberly health my colleague in our Washington Bureau kimberly im going to ask you a question which is what people have been tweeting at me for the past 12 hours maybe im immune dont be scared of the virus i mean really. Yeah and this is what the critics of the president are seizing on the fact that it is at minimum tone deaf and potentially even reckless dangerous to be sending out that message knowing that there are so Many Americans that could lose their lives or have lost their lives already as a result of covert 19 now the president appears to be feeling invincible but he has been told by his doctors that he is still not out of danger and we also know that the staff working in the restaurant residence rather is also in danger by having the president shoes to go and work in the white house as opposed to remaining in walter reed and so the president is sending this message is eager to get back on the campaign trail we saw on twitter already hes in the last couple of hours tweeted yet again calling cope with far less lethal than the flu what hes really trying to do is send the message that he has conquered this that he is dominated this is he said in one of his tweets but its clear that he has not done that he is not yet in the clear and certainly we know that Many Americans that will get this potentially could die from it so the president is using optimism as a Campaign Tactic but certainly this is going to be seized upon by his critics and has already including joe biden that this is reckless and dangerous for the American People as you were talking to as they kimberly we were looking at pictures of him on the balcony facing side of the white house and it reminded me of friends of mine who asked mastic you know he looked like he was having an asthma attack so clearly theres something not quite right with the lung function but lets talk specifics here with days away from the Vice President ial debate how will mr Trumps Health or lack there of that particular sparring match. We already know the Biden Campaign has seized on the president s decision to remove his mask at the white house and is already drawing a stark contrast theyve released 2 different adverts and what theyre essentially in one of them is having this split screen moment where as joe biden the democratic president ial nominee puts his mask on the president is taking his off a clear and conscious choice 2 different leaders 2 very approach different approaches to treating cope with 19 of these ads are in battleground states and we should note is some of the polling that weve seen this morning here in the United States and particularly in michigan a key battleground state the president likely needs to win he is trailing by double digits in michigan he is getting some good news in florida another battleground where corden to one poll hes tied with biden but youre going to need more than one battleground state to win an election so joe biden the democratic president ial nominee hitting the president hard on what he believes is a reckless message by the u. S. President that could cost american lives kimberly thank you so much can be held to reporting live from washington. Now lets go around the world kremlin critic says his health is improving weeks after he was poisoned with the russian nerve agent navi chalk in the valley collapsed on board a flight to moscow at the end of august and transferred to a hospital in germany where he was placed in a medically induced coma now the Opposition Leader says the russian president Vladimir Putin must provide answers of what happened to him. Its a super secret thing even possessing this substance this novel chock its army great poison and his band its forbidden to have it anywhere in any amounts and one of the problems putin has is not whether he ordered me to be poisoned or not but the fact that someone got ahold of nova chuck in russia and used it which in itself is already a violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention Alexandra Steele janowicz go for has more now from moscow. He actually said that and kept on repeating during this interview is that it was russian president Vladimir Putin who ordered gave an order for to before his poisoning and i would the interviewer trying to to ask him why would russian president do debts and why would he be so important said the russian president it would be involved in such a thing and ironic kept on claiming that this couldnt have not been done without the order of 14 without his knowledge or at least with the knowledge of one of the heads of the intelligence agencies here in russia he bases this claim so on the fact that it was not a chalk and then what he says is also that there was a new more than cation of this nerve agent that was used he says this is not something you can buy in a supermarket or in the black market or that something that you can compose yourself in some underground lair but this is something that can only be opting with the knowledge of the Intelligence Services in russia thus with the knowledge of the russian president Vladimir Putin this is what he kept on claiming during this interview on the questions as who who is behind this poisoning 3 scientists working on black Hole Research have won the nobel prize for physics they are britain Roger Penrose german brian todd going short and american they were honored in stockholm their Research Focused on the discovery of black holes formations and their connection to einsteins theory of relativity brink is the emirates us professor Charmers University of technology he was chair of the Nobel Committee for physics he says the work of the laureates greatly expands on albert einsteins. General relativity. Theory of gravity. Back already in the 960. 00 s. And he found that. There are solutions 3 each are robust as we say so and if there is a certain amount of of of matter which is imploding contracting then in its inevitable that there will form what is a black hole so the strength of it is mathematical the strength of the proof namely that it doesnt really matter exactly how it looks like because this is what is called the topological effect so if there is enough they will be trapped within the surface they will then form a black hole so this. This is a wonderful. Result from einsteins theory. During the tangy it was typhoons this time as tropical storms his everton yeah thats right to pop across the other side of the pacific where weve actually got 2 storms either side of mexico that the 2 in the eastern pacific theyre not a concern the fish storm so we call it but on the other side of the caribbean take a look at this we got this last massive cloud here just to the southwest of jamaica that says actually hurrican that is hearken delta and theres just a little clutch just storms just around the yucatan peninsula still in evidence there thats what was gamma gamma stiff integrated lots of heavy rain still coming in across the yucatan peninsula having said that and here comes delta this one is a little more powerful actually a strong system this one strong category one storm and it will intensify further see go on through the next couple of days is going to run its way up towards again the yucatan peninsula so that part of mexico sinks in very heavy rain you can see that the remnants of gamma still causing some problems some flooding there across southern parts of the peninsula as we go through wednesday on into thursday that system will end punch its way out into the warm waters of the gulf of mexico does actually weaken a little as it makes its way towards the south coast of the u.

Nominate now frank assessments look at any way the protest is going anywhere either with the bullet with a weapon and indepth analysis of the days global headlines who is it its really our. Inside story on how just 0. Welcome back lets just recap your top stories for you to take a stance Election Commission has an all the result of sundays election after overnight demonstrations opposition protesters stormed the Parliament Building and freed former officials including the former president. Turkeys foreign minister is criticizing International Efforts to end the conflict between azerbaijan and armenia is indias ery capital baku and is offering his nations full support in the battle for nagorno karabakh. Irans government has put the nation on red alert after a record rise in the number of coronavirus cases and deaths of 4000 been confirmed in the last 24 hours 26 people have died. Human rights watch says hundreds of thousands of people across the world who suffer from Mental Health conditions are imprisoned against their will according to a new report an estimated 792000000 people including one in 5 children suffer from poor Psychological Health but governments spend less than 2 percent of their Health Budgets on Mental Services as a result many families shackle their own relatives and often worry that the person might run away or hurt themselves the rights group is calling on countries to ban shackling reduce the negative stigma and provide Affordable Treatment to those who suffer from such conditions speak now to cure to sharma in jakarta shes the author of this report and a disability Rights Research at Human Rights Watch kids sharma welcome to aljazeera which particular countries or regions are we talking about here. We looked at 110. 00 countries around the world and found evidence of shackling in 60 countries across asia africa the middle east and latin america and Human Rights Watch snoo report finds that men women and children some as young as 10 can spend weeks months or even you know as in chains are locked up because of prevalent stigma and a lack of support and services in the community ok a lack of services in the community of course one can perfectly understand why that would mean that a father figure or a parent parental figure in the household might say we are going to keep this Family Member at home but then if you literally shackle them inside the property youre crossing so many lines that straight away. Families are struggling to cope in many countries theres a lack of awareness of Mental Health and people believe that a Mental Health condition is the result of being possessed been bewitched or having sinned and so their 1st port of call is traditional or feet he does the only seek mental Health Services as a last resort one of the people we met had even gone to over 100 feet healing institutions so when families dont find a solution the be up push to make this choice its not an easy decision for a Family Member to take and its happening in 60 countries across religions age groups culture as ethnicities its a widespread group to practice thats an open secret in many communities if the countries were discussing and i guess is a big give if they have a relevant or thorough see or agency that somebody could go to and say in effect you guys have got to get involved in here because theres a theres the bad situation going on behind that front door over there to the authorities not to get involved because they choose to not get involved or because they cant get involved. It varies from country to country but we have also documented this practice in state run institutions its for example in countries like nigeria and even some highly land steve van government to psychotic hospitals are changing people in other countries there is a lack of oversight and the government is not even aware of how many institutions are today its not simply about reporting mechanisms its really about tackling the stick mind the community because very often whether its in government or in the police or look at parties people still embedded with the same stigma that see people with Mental Health conditions has been breached all you know potentially you know be aggressive and so the result to changing so i think for governments its own agent to address and come back stigma why providing mental Health Services and oversight briefly because we are almost run it running out of time on this discussion have you managed to take your report or the conclusions of it to any governments and if you did what kind of reply in response to you get. We have taken the report to governments and we will continue to do so in the exact had the response from governments varies in indonesia for example they were on a press conference this morning they dont disagree with the findings but they are struggling to provide solutions and thats really where our advocacy begins in calling for a ban on track link but also following through to make sure that these bands i implemented and mental Health Services are not support is provided in the community ok we must leave it there care to shama its a compelling story that needs to be told thank you so much thank you.

And also to be able to respond to the counterinsurgency effort by the government since april weve seen their. Efforts to take the fight to the insurgents in a number of areas that this is so theyre proud of the military conflict so we see a lot more active engagement by both sides where its quite clear the numbers that the insurgents maintain the initiative as theyre responsible for all the vast. Majority of the attacks that are still in play so its been a significant increase. In the insurgency in terms of or for the number of actors in play the number of incidents in play and the number of casualties and as weve seen. I. D.
