a major city in the going to come back not far from the regional capital not long ago russian president vladimir putin gave more details of the cease fire which is coming into effect. the azerbaijan republican the republic of armenia will stop their current positions along the contacts line in the gorno karabakh and the corridor between the goa karabakh and the republic of armenia russian peacekeeping forces will be deployed internally displaced persons and refugees are to return to new go in or care about and bordering areas under the supervision of the high commissioner of the united nations for refugees there will be an exchange of war prisoners other detainees and the change of the dead after the truce was announced crowds of protesters stormed the armenian government headquarters in yet. many a calling for prime minister nicole resignation let's go to robin for sure walker

is monitoring developments from tbilisi in neighboring georgia robin bring us up to date this all came about in the middle of the night. what are the latest details that you can tell us. well it appears that the news 1st appeared to have broken on nicole passion yan's facebook page in which he talked about having to make a statement something that he terribly regretted having to do but we didn't actually get the full information from that post but we now have seen the full details of this agreement that has been sorry and between all been agreed between armenia and azerbaijan with the mediation of russia. and it effectively brings to a close this war which lasted for about 5 weeks

a very brief but extrude violent conflict in which several 1000 armenian and his eyrie military and civilian people are known to have died and it effectively ends that conflict the most significant aspects of which are the withdrawal of the agreement to withdraw armenian forces from nagorno-karabakh and for a peacekeeping force a russian peacekeeping force to be deployed of approximately 2000 personnel and what also appears to be in the text is that that deployment already appears to be underway in order to ensure that this cease fire actually holds because over the past few weeks we've seen at least 3 attempts at cease fires which never gained any ground at all cease fires on paper only but this is

a completely. new and significant development and for that reason we're seeing now crowds of very angry people that have been gathering in the center of. what appears to be. outside the prime minister's office the government center and obviously people want. to know how this could have happened because there is a very significant nationalist movement in armenia. that has never agreed or never once it any form of serious compromise with azerbaijan over new gordo karabakh and for that reason. it was impossible for these. for any governments in armenia any prime minister really to be able to move forward on serious concessions and so those

likely those nationalist sentiments in armenia will now of course come to the absolute foreground with serious frustrations and bitter bitter feelings about the way this conflict has has gone on but it looks like this is the only option available to nicole passion and. the karabakh armenian forces given the heavy defeat that they appear to have suffered at the hands of a very superior military force controlled that there was a it is very military that had spent significant money on its military budget and developed that over the years and was therefore able to use it to its advantage and take back so much territory from the going to occur and now this agreement requires that the remaining territories that armenia has held not just around the going to occur in the going to care about also be returned in

a phased return over the next few weeks i'm afraid if if you can still hear me i can no longer hear you so i will have to end it there and head back to you in the studio. many thanks for the tar correspond robin forced to walk developments from it to billy's see all the latest fighting over the disputed region began on the morning of september 27th the going to come back is internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan but it has been run by ethnic armenians since the last major conflict which was in 1994 as to our correspondent with some a binge of i was in the capital of azerbaijan in baku what is the response been from the varies there to this deal that has come to us in the middle of the night. well we've been hearing from the azerbaijani president who's been congratulating his nation giving out the details and saying this essentially is

a capitulation by the armenian forces as you said it has been an eventful night to say the least this is a night which started off with hearing from the armenian side can admitting that they have lost the important city of. overlooks the capital but. which is known as fun can the in azerbaijan we've also seen escalation from both sides saying that there were multiple rocket to targets armenians and other by john is saying that they're defending their positions of trying to make sure that they hold the territory that they have and then in the wee hours of the night you heard from the armenian prime minister announcing the deal and then it is being confirmed by both the kremlin and now video conference that happened between the 3 leaders has been played on there by johnnie state t.v. in these in these when this was happening there was also a helicopter rich was shot down by azerbaijani forces on the border between

a an autonomous zone near turkey and iran by john which was a russian helicopter to servicemen died one was injured and the other right johnnie's were quick to apologize and say that they were sending their condolences to those crews who lost their lives and were ready to offer compensation to the russians but all of this has been overshadowed by this announcement that the conflict in nagorno-karabakh is almost over the azerbaijani president saying that the important parts of it is this deal are that the armenians are going to be handing back at least 3 more territories peacefully to azerbaijan the forces from the outskirts of them to go in a car bomb region the are as a bridge are the forces are not go. to continue their advance 2 words the capital there is going to be a corridor which is going to be established in the national monotone of the saw in

between azerbaijan and nagorno-karabakh and there is also going to be peacekeeping centers there is also talk about the turks taking part in all of this as well the other by journey president saying that there is going to be a presence of turkish forces here as well. in the in the. in the conflict zone so we've been hearing all of those details as the night continues here and it's going to be a day later i was in a few hours and we will be hearing more reaction we are already seeing some cars breaking the curfew here in the by johnny capital baku honking their horns we've seen people come out in the streets you have to remember that in addition to the restrictions there is also a curfew from 1 pm as this conflict for effect has escalated people have been killed city centers have been targeted and more people have been displaced and all of that seems to be coming to an end if this trilateral agreement is anything to go

with a summit do we know what is going to happen to the ethnic armenians who actually live in not going to cut it back. but so far it is not clear how this transition is going to take place between these 4 says. robin alluded there is going to be russian peacekeepers who are going to be here and what we've been hearing from azerbaijan leaders is that they want to live side by side with the people who are from these areas what their demand was that armenia pulls out its troops they go into these areas and this is something that the other rajani president has stalled out there as well that what he wants to do in these areas is rebuild them make sure that the economic and ethnic harmony in these areas is broad by as these areas are there by johnny land in accordance with united

nations resolutions and various other minsk group deals that have been signed between russia france and the united states as well so the. picture at least from this side of the divide the picture that is being painted by azerbaijani officials is that they would like to go in these areas establish peace and security and then allow people to come back and you have to remember that there is a very emotional attachment to the people of azerbaijan to go in a car a bar in every square in every public building you will find something that associates people to the new go in a car a region whether it's physically or. there are people who've been displaced from those areas there are doors and such for lands and there has been this thought that people have been trying to pull out from this and for the last nearly 3 decades they want to go back to their regions so at least in theory what they say is that

the armenians and azerbaijanis will be able to live side by side will have to see what happens in practice. there for us in the capital of azerbaijan many thanks. donald trump's election campaign team and the white house have repeated their allegations of fraud and so-called illegal votes as they press ahead with challenging the results once again however there provided little or no evidence of their claims trump is refusing to concede defeat to president elect joe biden lawsuits are being launched across several battleground states there is only one of the party in america that opposes voter id one party in america that opposing verifying signatures citizenship residency eligibility there is only one party in america trying to keep observers out of the counting room and that

party my friends is the democrat party. and u.s. attorney general general william barr has authorized federal prosecutors to pursue investigations into alleged irregularities but in a lesser sent to prosecute which has been seen by the as nice agency he asked them not to chase claims that a fanciful or farfetched. alan fischer is live in washington d.c. trump still pursuing these legal strategies brings up today. well we've heard from the republican party saying that they're going to start the process of gathering together evidence from various people that will form after david's which they will go to the court they've already a lawyer just an action in pennsylvania saying that there was a problem with the way that the constitution was applied because they say that in some counties republican counties and democratic counties voters were treated

differently the use of the constitutional word does important because they believe that this case among others will eventually make their way to the supreme court and if it's a constitutional question then the supreme court may well feel it has to get involved there's no guarantee that the supreme court has to take on a case so that's why this is important but clearly this is just start of the process don't trump has been tweeting out over the last couple of hours various states essentially he said that in the via the phone a cesspool he said that georgia will be will deliver a big presidential when just like it did to on election night he's also talking about nevada the republican party of saying that they have phoned a number of people who voted who no longer live in the state well that's not actually unusual military families big military bases in the valley that people might have been based there then moved elsewhere but they decided until they knew what they were going and got themselves settled that they would keep their right to vote in the vida or even college students just forcing in their home state so the

pressure is on the republican party to come up with the evidence of what they are alleging in the alleging that there was widespread electoral fraud in a number of states that have disputed by donald trump no there are a few people who say that donald trump is moving towards accepting the result but certainly from his twitter feed from what the republican party are doing. and for what mitch mcconnell the leader of the republicans in the senate said in the last few hours it seems that they are not ready to acknowledge that joe biden won the election and insists that they will continue this fight ok many thanks for that i'm sure. donald trump's refusal to concede is raising fears he will undermine the transition of power in june a group called the transition integrity project ran simulations of scenarios looking at what could happen and a lot of those models did not end well right well in june of this

year we ran a series of exercises that basically tried to game out what could possibly happen if we had a president who is unbelted by norms and unconstrained by his own party and what we concluded was that you know the results of the game were that absent a decisive victory for joe biden. the threat to the integrity of the electoral process itself and the transition to a new administration were potentially quite severe as in the games where the election results were very close both sides called their supporters into the streets with obviously great risk that there could be contest station a violent contestation between competing groups of protesters and in fact you know what's actually happened is that the election is not all that close republicans are claiming it's close but in fact it's not very close. you know there have been at least 10 elections in u.s. history that we're closer than this one including 201-629-7696 extension 8

so in fact what we have is a situation where i don't think that the trump team has a real viable path to winning this election but i'm not sure that even that's their goal at this point what they're trying to do is lay down a marker that the results are illegitimate so that they can continue to contest and fight the biden ministration into 2021 and beyond what he wants to do is be able to have a basis to continue to activate the 70000000 people who voted for him and the many more people who are fans of his and continue to use them to continue his career as a political celebrity and i believe that he will continue to do that and will continue to be in the spotlight criticize the existing administration perhaps even seek to run again in 2024 it's very possible. after months of speculation about the relationship between donald trump and his defense sextape molokai has been sacked to my twitter trump tweeted that had been terminated. has been collided over white house pressure to deploy federal troops during nationwide protests against racism

and police brutality and spoil so attractive by effectively banning the display of confederate symbols in military installations it happened reported that esper prepared a resignation as anticipating the inevitable but he poured cold water on that in an interview with the military times publication last week saying my soldiers don't get to quit so if i have to quit it better be over something really really big earlier we spoke to mark jacobson who was a senior adviser to former u.s. secretary of defense carter he thinks as pows departure is a bad sign for stability as the u.s. goes through a change in the white house. the one big thing that the secretary of defense has to do at this point is manage a transition to the incoming team and in fact the 1st rule of presidential transitions is don't create chaos don't create instability make sure that they can stay as steady as possible and the white house has just thrown all that out the

window in getting rid of aspirin at this point secular leading that the president trumps hugo just can't handle this defeat right now and he's lashing out in a number of ways and again this is problematic because again you're going to have an incoming team who needs to understand what are the trouble points in each of these agencies and likewise you know as we've seen over the last couple of days american allies and frankly the rest of the world are craving the stability that's that's going to be coming with a biden administration and the worry is that you'll have instability over the next 60 days that dwarfs what we've seen over the last 4 years but i but i think there's a really important point with regards to whether it's the department of defense or the f.b.i. the cia these changes at the top particularly during the transition don't really impact the operations things that are going on whether they're investigations whether they're military deployments that's steady as it goes but again this perception at the political level that there are the tunnel tis is not really the

best look in the world for the united states right now. the american drug maker 5 says it looks like its vaccine is clearly effective in preventing covert 19 the vaccine developed by pfizer and the german startup biotech was found to be more than 90 percent effective in preventing kevin 19 among trial participants no serious safety concerns were observed among the more than 43000 participants across the globe the study showed just 94 confirmed cases of copd 19 among the participants the news has been called a great day for science and humanity and while the world health organization says the results are very positive it has added that there is still a lot of work to be done charlie angela reports. $1300000000.00 doses by the end of the year that's the claim from drug makers pfizer and biotech after announcing their vaccine is more than 90 percent effective theirs is the 1st

successful data from a large scale clinical trial and widespread vaccinations could roll out by the end of december following an application for an emergency use approval from regulators within weeks german company biotech admit they're still waiting on more results to further prove its safety. it's true that this type of medication has no approval yet which is why we're carrying out this compatibility study with more than 40000 test persons to find out if there is any intolerance even a rare one what we can prove with this study is that the vaccine is compatible and that side effects are mild to moderate and that there are no severe side effects the news of the vaccine sent global stock markets soaring scientists welcome the news of the 90 percent effectiveness much higher than been expected but also raised questions we have to know who received it in vaccine in this 1st trial and. evaluate if this sometimes dick results could be extended also

to add the populations which are matched more than in needs to relax in the they mean all the people people with. who are at risk of severe infections and probably were not included in the 1st trial you know as the world health organizations decision making body met in a largely virtual conference questions were already being raised about how any vaccine would be distributed especially to developing countries the world has come together as never before to usually slice same into result of devil or fraud and i'm not going to be fairly as lot with. not private communities that people are why and what reasons i'm p. . behind 1200000 people have now died of the virus and more than 50000000 people have courted 10000000 of them in the u.s.
