I mean this is the site of the attack that happened yesterday that you just mentioned every now really there is an atmosphere a bit of popular anger here all fingers pointing out. Theres also very little faith in this renewed ceasefire that was announced on sunday people here obviously saying that they could not trust the armenian side to hold their part of the deal even though i feel theres a bit of confusion over what exactly that humanitarian ceasefire is about the people here think that its its about an indepth host cities when in fact its really about bringing some. Calm period enough to swap bodies and did. Now to moment we dont know where that is heading we just heard from their budget and he said that they are ready to return some bodies to armenia through this prearrange door. As a budget and said that it has informed the International Red cross about it but this statement did not say anything about. Soldiers definitely. On the battlefield especially in the areas in the occupied regions around. The Azerbaijani Army is pushing forward it has Popular Support there is a feel that as a biogen at the moment because of the do every tory again has the upper hand and you have a lot of people here who do support that many would tell you actually that maybe a ceasefire is not what should happen now and that the army should keep on pressing ok thank you for that update from ganja and azerbaijan lets now bring in Bernard Smith from armenias capital here of on any clarity from your end bernard on this humanitarian cease fire and the fate of this. The armenians say theyve been pushing for several days now to get this humanitarian ceasefire agreed on and its taken 2 weeks to get this far it was russia that got the 2 sides to agree to a humanitarian cease fire to the handover the bodies of killed soldiers and to Exchange Prisoners of war Wounded Soldiers it was never quiet enough along the goal line of contact never peaceful enough for them to be able to for both sides to be able to agree to do this there was an attempt last week on one local attempt to do it on one part of the line of contact but even that failed after a few hours because firing started again so this decision by the there is to hand over the dead bodies of the armenians had already earlier on agreed to some sort of handle reporters and prisoners of war is a step forward armenia needs the cease fire to carry on itself but now 675 armenian Ethnic Armenian fighters have been killed in the fighting and armenia has lost control of territory it has held since the end of the war in 1994 this territory between nagornokarabakh karabakh in azerbaijan is considered the security or buffer zone but the armenians say thats what it is to protect nagornokarabakh for the last 26 plus years theyre supposed to be discussing the status of this territory plus nagornokarabakh with nothings happened in that time hes wires about john says it is now moving militarily with the support of turkey to take some of this territory but. Thank you very much for that update. Thousands of protesters have gathered in the thai capital bangkok for a fest day they have been rallying in defiance of a government ban dozens have been arrested and theyre calling for the Prime Minister to stand down the monarchy to be reformed and the new Constitution Police are warning that theyll respond to any acts of violence tony chang well give us an update from bangkok to 1st talk about the the thai Prime Minister government officials have been speaking tony what have they been saying. You know we heard a statement coming from the Prime Ministers spokesman a couple of hours ago which appeared to strike a conciliatory note he said he wanted it was i was aware of the issues that the protesters were complaining about he talks about the covert 19 conditions the need for people to come together to plan that that i think. That its had on the on the policy. But with i tell you speakers listening while i understand this is a response from the crowd they are shouting very clearly in a rather explicitly that they want the Prime Minister out or theyve been chanting now for the last 5 days as theyve assembled frankly weve heard these kinds of statements since the protests started in july and there has been no substantive action on friday the Prime Minister was asked if he would step down and very dismissively said absolutely not the parliament has the option had had the option a week ago to look at constitutional reform that was delayed again much to the irritation the protesters so i think at this stage unless suddenly substantial can be offered by the Prime Minister nobody here is going to take that seriously and what weve heard all evening from the protesters is that they want those goal demands they want the Prime Minister out the constitutional form and the monarchy to be reform here tony youre looking at the live picture. It seems like these protests continue to have momentum despite the government ban on rallies. They do absolutely and whats interesting is after the crackdown on friday evening when the riot police used Water Cannons against the protesters the protests diverge the formed different groups of protest sites theyve been very mobile. Trying to avoid the Police Tactics of shutting down public transport shutting down areas of central bangkok and there turned an interesting effect to creating more momentum although the protests have been divided large numbers of still come out although the protest leaders have been arrested in many cases. There are new leaders emerging and i think individual protesters are taking it upon themselves to come out and to continue the momentum of these protests and theyre now taking place in more than 20 provinces outside bangkok so the intention of the government in the police was to try and intimidate the protesters into stopping it certainly hasnt worked we dont know if were still to continue to see these on a daily basis but i think since that friday crackdown weve had 2 very large protests in the last 2 nights the momentum is definitely with protests the protests and the moral high ground and i think at this stage the ball is very much on the governments part to give subsists a substantial response and some reason for the protesters to stop the other the otherwise theyre just going to keep the pressure on all right tony thank you for that update from bangkok.

Youre with the news hour heres whats coming up protests are taking place in fronts right now as the nation mourns the murder of a teacher in a paris suburb. The bay rays are on their way to the world series for the 1st time since 2008 that story is coming up a little later with peter and sports. First well take you over to because going ins are voting in attend election on follows months of unrest the incumbent president s day has cast his ballot in the capital conakry on sunday morning hes running against 11 other candidates but his main rival is the former Prime Minister. John doe this is the 3rd match up between the pair 82 year old conde insists his attempt for a 3rd term is legal but the opposition says it violates the constitution so lets take a closer look at guinea the west african nation has a population of around 12400000 but 43 percent live below the National Poverty line thats according to the world bank the Agricultural Sector is the largest employer providing an income for 57 percent of rural households guinea has vast Natural Resources including the Worlds Largest reserves. And or used to produce aluminum the Mining Industry grew by 50 percent in 2017 again is developing its hydro Power Resources but currently use utilizes less than 5 percent of its potential politics is split along ethnic and tribal lines the Largest Ethnic Group the accounts for 40 percent of the population and the milling came makes up 30 percent of the population and lets bring in nicholas hockeys following the election for us from the car and neighboring senegal nicolas what can you tell us about the election. Well obviously during this campaign weve seen a very Divisive Campaign all the candidates really going after one another some time along ethnic lines but thats all a smokescreen at stake here is not just the presidency its who will be in control of this enormous wealth the one that you just alluded to in your in your into i mean 25000000000 tons of box side have the worlds reserve 4000000000 tonnes of iron and or significant diamond gold deposits undetermined quantities of uranium you have some of the Biggest Mining Companies operating in guinea and during the current virus a lot of investors invested in mining and we saw record profits from rio tinto 9000000000 dollars this year roussel who is a major stakeholder in guineas reserves posted an 8000000000. 00 profit this year and yet get ins most of them for the vast majority live under the poverty line 20 percent in extreme poverty a country so wealthy and a population so poor joining us now is denver saidee mining rights activist now you looked at that situation in the end guinea what explains this irony of a country so wealthy and a population so port you know africa pollutes very rich countries and guinea is one of the top 10 of those richest countries and what we need to sit in this is that the kind of core din. Of abandoned. Country but at the same time one of the poorest countries in africa and one of the poorest in the world because of but management of these resources and bad governance so who is responsible for this and it has this been a topic of conversation during the campaign i think the alternative is do is who are. Responsible for this because the management. Lies in the responsibility of the government itself and it includes designing laws and policies that guide the governance and the management of those Natural Resources aswell and urges so how to share those benefits to communities as well so in the context of elections this has come as a key Campaign Topic that there is so much money here coming into guinea i mean to 20 percent of the profits go to get in government wire or so many get in and out of electricity out of water and dont have access to basic healthcare here exactly that they create go issue populations are suffering for years now beyond democracy people are not getting profit from the exploitation of not roared ashore says electricity as you say lack of schools because hospitals and at the same time these companies and making very great profit wellbeing so this comparison is that as think about the debt should disease where the country is economically lies under the trade shows he is at the same time poverty is increasing yes but where has all that money gone if its not going to the getting in people who has all that money whatever it is going to go is that the minimum of lets say for that taking that money and the other part is going to the companies as well because the country is not profiting enough from this money and the rest of that the minimum theyre getting is go into a minimum of lets say out to retirees who are holding the power but is there corruption here it is exactly that is corruption that is confused because most of them also are mining hoarders or are associate of sometimes in mining activities as well so that is clear corruption we couldnt fire and the sector in guinea now during the election there was a lot. Talk about ethnic identities and whos voting for who in a lot of people and get a vote along ethnic lines but very little conversation about the economy itself what do gideons want to see today in this election. What would be determinant to what kind of sanctions or propose in agenda when big powers on how they are to. These Natural Resources that is the key point i think that should be determinant under decision pollution are going to make for whom to vote that sees very essential in their life again they didnt but thank you very much for this now this is an election that has more than 5000000 people that will take part in it many of them are 1st time voter in a country where most are under the age of 25 and so there is hopes and aspirations that no matter which candidate comes into power whether it be the incumbent president alpha conde or his main opponent that those resources will be better manage and will go to this young population just 11 number there and most of the migrants the minor migrants that are coming to europe are going in and theyre fleeing their country because of the lack of opportunity and because theyre not seeing enough of that wealth and well be following the events that unfold in this what has been a very Tense Campaign and the polls are about to close in about 3 hours time daryn sorry you got it are a necklace thank you very much our thanks for the correction will be crossing back to you throughout the day im sure on the going to elections thanks for the time being.
