11:03 am
could be so much worse for the armenians given the current rate of momentum so he's in a difficult position to be sure and it remains to be seen what the future holds for him more than a 1000 people on both sides have died tens of thousands are now displaced. the region is within us their version but has been under the control of ethnic armenians since 1994 decades of tension and violence have followed and while an agreement has been signed it's unlikely it will also end the animosity between the 2 countries russian forces are already being deployed to keep the peace. this is the young al-jazeera that's bringing hoda abdel-hamid with the latest now from yerevan lot of anger in armenia how to tell us about the reactions this morning. yes definitely i think it's a mixed bag of shock sadness and a lot of anger and
11:04 am
a sense of loss really i mean we've been standing here in parliament for the past 2 hours i'm just going to show you what's happening behind me you have people. who have been here strongly debating for hours on end you can you have a sense really that the opinions on what has unfolded over the last 12 hours are very different we've seen people shouting at each other we see a little bit of scuffle and they're behind the gate where protesters have blocked the road that leads to this building so you do have certainly good news is seeping in that sense of loss is dipping in and also many people say well why did we have this war why did we have about 1200 soldiers dead that's the official number some people say in that number may be higher while all of this if india and we lost so much the prime minister of armenia is under a lot of pressure after this deal what does the future look like for him.
11:05 am
well certainly there have been calls for him to resign. since last night the opposition some of the main opposition figures really signed a joint letter asking him for do so now we heard from him just in the lot over the last half hour and he tried to explain his position again he said that the media had no other choice that returning those 7 regions that i mean he had occupied back in 1904 has always been a precondition to try to have any sort of agreement with us or by john overby future of nagorno karabakh he said that he couldn't get out of there and that he actually followed the recommendation of the chief of staff of the military who told him to actually go do stand for disagreement now he is under a lot of
11:06 am
a lot of scrutiny a lot of stress some people say well he had no other choice because also himself said he said we were not fighting only as a john we were fighting as over john and mercenaries. that's his position so i mean you know was at a loss the big issue here is that the troops as there is now have taken shushi. and then every all we heard over the last 48 hours was that that was not happening that there was still a fight and then everything changed really since last night and armenians most of them stayed awake the whole night and those who woke up this morning are now quite angry still early hours the parliament is supposed to meet very soon for an emergency session he's going to be have to answer some tough questions for dad i meet with the latest there from van meanwhile they have been celebrations in
11:07 am
azerbaijan over that deal to end the conflict. our people have been dancing in the streets of the capital baku azerbaijan surprised and says the agreement which was also signed by russia and a long occupation of the area osama bin javid has more from the as ery capital back home. the atmosphere is a festivity we've been hearing people from the early hours of the morning when this news broke and their president came out on state t.v. and announced that the conflict is over under the auspices of moscow they have signed a deal and armenia is essentially going to be surrendering. to them and they have been able to achieve what they couldn't achieve in the last 3 decades of conflict you've been able to achieve it in just 6 weeks of war there is the feeling here is of optimism and celebration but there are by johnny's asking about the finer details of this agreement because this is not the 1st time that there is
11:08 am
a peace some sort of a cease fire agreement this is indeed the 4th time the david read to cease fire but this is the 1st time that they've essentially agreed that the forces would be drawn line corridos will be open going to be establishment of peacekeeping forces people are going to be able to go back not just those who've been displaced in the last 6 weeks of conflict but those who've been displaced for nearly 28 years so there is joy there is celebration there waiting to hear back from their president once again people have been gathering at the mall to the square here and they expect the president to come and go in the crowd at some point when all of this happened at a dramatic turn of events last night very heard from the armenian side that there were pitched battles we heard from the other by johnny's a russian helicopter vitalistic and then soon after we heard from their president that armenia has agreed that it will surrender and are going to karbala and the war should be. the aftermath of the us elections now and attorney general william barr
11:09 am
has authorized federal prosecutors to investigate allegations of voting irregularities if there is strong evidence but the man in charge of election crimes resigns just hours after that the trump campaign has fines lost source in battleground states alleging voter fraud and separately the u.s. president has signed his defense secretary alan fisher has our report. out of sight in the white house for the moment but still using his power as president donald trump settling scores sacking his defense secretary mark casper finding out he'd been terminated by tweet esper dubbed yes spurred by the president finally fell foul of the oval office in the summer as racial justice protests swept american cities the president considered putting troops on the street insisted that wasn't going to happen the election is still on donald trump's mind sending out a series of tweets about states he claims are in dispute in the senate republican
11:10 am
leader said the president was right not to concede right no president trog is 100 percent within his rights to look into allegations of irregularities and weigh legal options but his democratic counterpart admitted he was worried where the president was taking the country baseless claims by the president and his supporters that there's been widespread voter fraud and that the election was somehow rigged or stolen from president trump. that kind of rhetoric is extremely dangerous republican see they're just at the start of the legal battle this election is not over. under pulling together evidence to put before the courts what we do have a whistleblower which i discussed earlier this week who was in detroit as an election worker not as a republican poll watcher who under affidavit says that they were told to back to
11:11 am
balance that their supervisor came in and they were there november 4th ballots that came in with no date they were told by the supervisor fact take the ballots to november 2nd or november 3rd so they will count so that has been submitted to the eastern to the u.s. attorney in the eastern district of michigan and attorney general william barr has told prosecutors to investigate any substantial allegations of fraud before the results are verified it's being seen by critics as a political move to give more credibility to unfounded allegations made by the president joe biden is a new he's won and he's already getting ready for day one as american hit 10000000 corporate cases he announced his coronavirus task force which will go to work straight away i will spare no effort to turn this pandemic around once we're sworn in in january 20th to get our kids back to school safely our business is growing
11:12 am
and our economy running full speed again and again to prove back scene manufactured and distributed as quickly as possible to as many americans to as many americans as possible free of charge will follow the science to more people who are the president's election night event have tested positive for covert cabinet secretary ben carson and david bossie who is leading the legal efforts in the contested states as america faces a spike in cases vice president mike pence who leads the administration's coronavirus task force is heading to florida for 5 days on vacation alan fischer. washington. i speak to tom swift sanaa is the executive director of the center for independent studies he joins us from sydney thank you very much mr switzer for being with us so 1st of all what do you make of donald trump's refusal to concede all of heavyweight republicans like mitch mcconnell backing him his sacking of the defense secretary what do you think is game plan is here well 1st of all that is
11:13 am
a legitimate case full recounting votes in very taught election rices and the republicans have every right to contest state elections in court the problem now is that you need evidence to prove widespread 'd electoral fraud and at this stage there is not and indeed many republican officeholders around the country particularly not as contested elections but i recognize that the prices has been legal orderly transparent explain clearly witnessed by a bipartisan group of observers and there's just no credible evidence of substantial irregularities what's the game plan for the president i just think he's showing down and discord and he's trying to deal with you tomorrow as the new president just as he believes the campaign was on to why 4 years ago to do you reject him i sees presidency from the outset with russia guide's allegations but
11:14 am
what do you make of the way the republican party as a whole is handling all this the way it's evolved and the republican majority in the senate is at stake in places like georgia this so 2 races to decide they're why i keep alive the possibility that trump might have a legitimate claim and risk their senate majority. well opinion varies there have been some republican senators as you have how they congratulated president elect joe biden but you're quite right there are a lot of republican senators who are either quiet who are indeed suggesting that the president has every right to contest this my sense is that mitch mcconnell who's the senate majority leader he's likely to be the most powerful congressional figure since lyndon johnson and fifty's he just wants trump's cooperation to mike sure that the republicans do indeed win the was to run off elections in the state of georgia the republicans must win those 2 style elections or at least one of them
11:15 am
to be able to control 'd the senate which would be a check on joe biden so that's why i explained the republican bit once my cities that by. early to mid december before all the voters said if i had if there's no widespread evidence it's founder of publicans will just distance themselves from trump and the process for the transition will begin yeah so far some have but others haven't as we've seen from the international reactions joe biden say terry has reassured most foreign leaders that the chaos we've seen over the last 4 years is over but how much damage has iraq done anything to america's reputation as a beacon of democracy and you know when you see what's happening right now after the election can't can that reputation really be recovered. well there are a maligned washington as bingo often talks of color or as i should well before trump arrived on the saying robert gates defense secretary who's done the president
11:16 am
obama and bush back in 23rd and said that the greatest national security threat that faces the united states is the 2 square miles that encompasses the white house and the capitol building and by that he meant that shift and polarize action which admittedly as you say has got much worse during the trump era i think america has enormous demonstrated capacity for china and renewal joe biden has had plenty of experience in politics going back to the only 970 s. when he was elected to the senate but you're quite right all the about will public polling evidence shows that america's christie aging credibility and its image has dissipated dramatically during the trial. and it will be tough to judge bottom but there are some ese things he can do via executive order he wanted a legislative support to bring america back into sight for example the paris climate change accords well the world health organizations want to end the so-called muslim travel ban i thought and should be able to do that relatively
11:17 am
