the only question is should we accept it as a fact. today president or me as prime minister. and russia have signed the declaration announcing the ceasefire and stopping combat. conflicts armenia and azerbaijan signed a peace deal agreeing to russian peacekeepers to patrol the disputed. region but news of the new cease fire doesn't go down well. i. protest is that stormed the parliament and government buildings outraged by the

peace deal with stacey is being a defeat for that we'll have a report from the center of the. the me company behind me. this is the kind of stuff place between protesters between some police but most the police are stepping back and allowing people to express their anger. not far from. trump cries foul refusing to accept projections of joe biden winning the presidency extensive legal action of allegations of vote fraud. and trump also lashes out at the u.s. drug maker claiming that it delayed good news about its covert vaccine until after the election. thanks so much for joining us here in moscow you're watching r.t. international. first this hour

a peace agreement has been reached between armenia and azerbaijan to end hostilities over the disputed nagorno-karabakh region deal was brokered by russia in armenia though it's being seen as a humiliating defeat furious protesters storming the government building. i've. been hearing in their public square in europe. so about an hour and a half 2 hours ago when the statement starts come out on the switch. on his.

facebook. people starts to gather it and the government building just behind me was broken into. a protest to smash the insides pulled out flags and within half an hour i was out and yes i was there was thousands of people. safe they called full they were looking for this big diff tell me they were looking for bush in yemen. they're trying to find him police kind of start trying to stop him and that i just stepped aside and allowed for justice he saw to the building where they kind of pulled apart the buildings my last look smashing glass to scuffles breaking out plus he fights between protesters who want to see wonderful things and something happening again behind me and this list this kind of stuff is live the place between protestors between some place but mostly stepping back and allowing people to express that around i have been constant movement approaches of the

building and i respect that she's just behind the camera i think and i. respect what they are now and that it's not the way i mean them in the news kind of filtered out i mean and i and. people people can keep you know what they call the screaming for me but i will say that it's like. anything and it's very hot now to me i was like. you know i spoke with our correspondent a guest on the face been reporting for us from the front line of the conflict to tell me more about the deal. during our time there we witnessed so much bloodshed so much carnage tears in the eyes of mothers and fathers who lost the children who did know the fate of their children and there have been a number of attempts at you know ending this conflict and bringing bringing the sides to every revolution but this time it seems that this conflict is as close to its and as it has been brokered in russia and vladimir putin is the main go into

all of this deal was that. we presume that the agreements reached will create the necessary conditions for long term and for settlement of the crisis around the gordon carob one of fear basis and in the interests of the armenian and as originally peoples. with every peace deal comes hope realistically though there have been previous peace deals they usually don't last what reason is there to believe that this war will fare better that's a very valid question because during the peace deals that were brokered by both russia france and the united states the documents they were rather brief just stood down to a few paragraphs of text rather vague saying they just the sides should stop shooting at each other and maybe exchange prisoners of war and bodies of 4 of the fallen soldiers this time there's much more substance and it's much more in depth when it comes to this particular document so according to it this cease fire came in place at 1 am local time today on november 10th so again according to this document as

a by john gets to keep those territories that it has already captured from the armenian forces and also on top of that armenia will have to turn over more provinces which technically has under control now they will have to turn them over to azerbaijan as well over the next few weeks also the russian peacekeeping force will be deployed to patrol the frontline and the corridor between armenia and the capital of nagorno-karabakh to plan occurred also the sides will have to exchange prisoners of war there have been. some report somewhat corroborated by the is there by johnny president ilham aliyev that turkey will also be patrolling the frontlines but there's nothing said about it in the document itself so the document obviously was signed by both leaders of armenia and azerbaijan is how they reacted to it i saw. the decision has been taken as a result of analysis of the military situation and based elise and scores of people

who have been most for me there with the military situation on. my part i would like to see that i'm very glad that today we've seen a good deal to settle a years long conflict between armenia and azerbaijan who put an end to the occupation and as a bridge on land and well i can't stress enough how sensitive we can't even begin to imagine how sensitive the issue of nagorno-karabakh for both armenians and thereby johnnies so it's no surprise that crowds have gathered both in both capitals and but the mood is try kingly different of course because. people are celebrating it's something they've been waiting for more than for about 30 years and finally they think that they've won this war this is what they're celebrating the movie is very very different in your of on the capital of armenia people they say they are heartbroken that would be a c.v. understatement they're devastated and they're angry very very angry mostly at the

government they believe that they've thrown in the towel and the giving up on going to karabakh and that's something they don't want to see they've stormed the building of the parliament they also attacked a motorcade the motorcade of the speaker of the parliament they dragged him out of the car and they are being and i think it's enough he's in a hospital in fact right now so they see it as a concession they see it as unacceptable but even a fight is in nagorno-karabakh they have released a call on the rioters in the capital also demanding the resignation of the incumbent government for nichole question on the government. those fighters in the going to come back they have called on the writers to come down and they've said that the rule was in the going to count but not in year of one so if they wanted to help or if they want to help now they should have come to this disputed region and helped out on the front lines but with this ceasefire it might be a little too late for that so again it is really difficult to. overestimate

how painful this is for your minions especially if you pool all the statements made by the foreign ministers by the ministers of met by the ministers of defense and the spokespeople because during this whole conflict even as we were there they were trying to calm down people the information that they were giving to us to journalists they were saying look you should have faith in our army in our armed forces there is no there will be no other outcome in this war they were saying other than our victory so they were promising victory extensively they were saying that the will even as as they are by john was advancing they were saying that we will we will turn the tide we will be we will go on a counter offensive and that's what they were promising people so a lot of people believed them and now that's why they think that they've been that they've been abandoned and betrayed we discussed this new deal with a panel of guests the key point that makes it.

the finity of is the signature of armenia's prime minister and his admission that is a very difficult decision to make this will have lasting power now. what the fallout will be not so much for the as their president the their e sight but for the armenian side put it equally at the internal level that's another matter you cannot get involved into a war and then not achieve anything because he brings absolutely nothing. back from this conflict you know maybe some armenians will look at this and as the negative. maybe some of the group is i mean may look at them as a negative as well in general i think the prime minister was very brave and courageous and taken the step and i think. both sides need to look at the from a long term perspective i understand difficult for me especially but i think it's

a positive step forward and it's being much more stable i think we'll see out of this person the prior to the fire and i understand how difficult it is but i think for the region it's much better than the tough filter because otherwise i don't know if i could see into this in the long term in terms of the end of the matter i don't think this solves the overall question of the record of the car and what its status will be if those short term you cease fire holds and the previous ones have not and with the introduction of russian peacekeepers that helps to stabilize the situation yes that that's possibly could work but there's still a lot of political records left over that would have to be negotiated for a long term solution to what is the status of nagorno-karabakh or art saw as the armenians color and also the other areas surrounding the border harbach that connect our media to an agreement harbach that and i don't think even the armenians are saying they don't consider part of their barges but they've been holding sense

here are really 99. joe biden may have been confidently projected to become the next u.s. president but that doesn't mean that team trump is giving up the white house without a fight republicans are launching legal challenges to get votes recounted with a senior justice department official quitting after the attorney general authorized a probe into electoral fraud before results have been certified. joe biden's been projected to win 290 electoral college votes that's more than enough to get him over the line but trump is trying to cast doubt on that by making allegations of massive regularities concerning 1000000 votes his supporters passionately echoing his claims of taking to the streets across the country on the scale of more than looks at what's at stake. while the u.s. media says that joe biden is the clear winner and world leaders are now winding up

to congratulate biden as the president elect the trumpet ministrations says no they are filing multiple legal challenges we have so much evidence so much proof and it's going to end perhaps that the highest court in the land is not over far from it we have only begun the process. and i think there's a lot of shenanigans going on here they are setting the stage to potentially steal an election the trumpet ministrations says it's got a pile of evidence and even witnesses to challenge the current election results in the supreme court so let's just quickly summarize their allegations of electoral malfeasance. they say that thousands of ballots were cast by people who had died we believe that there are dead voters that have been counted. they also say that there was

a glitch in computer software that caused thousands of ballots to be incorrectly given to the democrats they counted clear came forward said tabulating software glitch and caused a miscalculation of the bones. the trump campaign has gone as far as saying that when it looked like biden was losing thousands of manufactured ballots were added to the count to make sure that biden was the winner it manufacture votes for joe biden they have done it in every way imaginable now some of these allegations are quite difficult to prove but some of the others might be a little easier to substantiate. another issue has been the access of observers republicans say that their official poll watchers were denied the ability to act. really monitor the vote counting process

republican poll watchers were denied their legal right to monitor the election democrats say that these allegations are insane and frivolous they say biden won time to accept that and just move on however some say it's still too soon to tell after all this would not be the 1st time that the u.s. supreme court has ultimately had the final say on who becomes president back in 2000 al gore took the election results to court trying to stave off the results that gave george w. bush the presidency al gore's supporters said that bush had cheated bush's camp on the other hand branded the democrat as a sore loser similar situation after a 5 week legal blitz the u.s. supreme court declared george w. bush to be the winner but later recounts actually showed that al gore had won the vote in florida but that was too little too late george w. bush was president for the next 8 years america is a country of great possibilities and it appears this applies even to election

results republicans have made very clear that with all of their resources they are not going to leave the presidency without a battle even if that battle is only a legal one caleb oppen r.t. new york the middle east wrangling over the us election there's a growing move to greet think the current electoral college system the national popular vote is very straightforward concepts one person should always equal one vote and the presidential candidate who gets the most votes should win the election . the national popular vote compact is in agreement which would completely eliminate the electoral college instead electors would back the candidates who were nationwide as opposed to statewide it's now been signed by 15 states and washington d.c. to be enacted the agreement needs to be backed by enough states that collectively represent at least $270.00 electoral college votes that's the same as the threshold for winning the presidential election the president returns $196.00 votes we talked

to a panel of experts about what they think is wrong with the system. we know republicans always win texas just like democrats always win california in what i tell voters here to try and get them to vote libertarian as i say your vote will have no impact on the outcome of the election so go ahead and vote for a 3rd party like libertarians if you want. that example demonstrates how the electoral college does make a lot of voters preferences not very influential i would love to see a much smaller less powerful government so that we really didn't care so much who won the election there's no rule identification of fraud in the us voting system we have a secure system what you have is a level of mistrust between both sides of this 2 party system who always believes the other side is cheating even though i think it's more of an american thing where we don't trust is more more like our sport we believe the other side is deflating

the outgoing president we know that he tends to have more tangent than normal that has no relation to the electorial college we are technologically advanced enough to simply count the votes i think we need to even move beyond the compact and have a a system of proportional representation we have a long history in united states of 3rd 4th and 5th parties trying to break into the political system and they can't because 1st of all we have this because these before there's even discussion of the contract we have this this richard 2 party system that is based on who gets a call so that contact again is a 1st step in the right direction but it's still not enough. united states has passed a grim milestone namely 10000000 coronavirus cases but there is a ray of hope the country's pharmaceutical giant pfizer has announced that its coded vaccine has proven 90 percent effective in trials the president donald trump though suspicious about the timing of that announcement. as i have long said pfizer

and the others would only announce a vaccine after the election because they didn't have the courage to do it before likewise the f.d.a. should have announced it earlier not for political purposes but for saving lives of the company's c.e.o. however is rebuffed but saying that the announcement had nothing to do with politics the vaccine itself is being developed together with german drug make a bio in tech and if all goes well the majority of americans will receive it in 2021 ahead of the election the prospect of a job was used to score political points we were mare's distribute the vaccine in just a few short weeks it will quickly eradicate the virus and wipe out the child or play once and for all if the doctors tell us that we should take it i'll be the 1st in line to take it absolutely but if donald trump tells us i think that we've taken i'm not taking it. we heard from dr john don brodsky is the director of the washington pain center he says that governments should stop the political games and

focus on educating people about vaccines. the kobe 1000 pandemic at least in the united states is been a political football a thing to hurt donald trump the economy they will play up and the other side is this is the same way so i think it's very scary that we're here with we're seeing this tremendous and tragic intersection between politics and science which is not the way to move forward we can't make at least in the united states 330000000 vaccines right now we just impossible so we as physicians always do treat irish take care of the sickest patients 1st and worry about others so people who are sick elderly multiple medical problems they should get the vaccination 1st and we need to educate people we've done now is politicized and we need to take down the temperature and explain people dislike a flu vaccine is healthy for you to people who are younger and healthy so people get flu vaccines and they do just fine because we're finding out if you catch the corona virus they do kind of they do well so we should protect the weakest and

sickest among our population 1st. you case a prime minister and his chief health a vizor have also expressed excitement about the latest vaccine developments they won't however that it's the days and the people think the anti pandemic moves but these rules have been strongly criticised with many not seeing the need for a 2nd national long down among them a nursing core will who resigned in protest claiming that code stats had been overblown and shelley taska who is the health care assistant in question she joins me live on the line now welcome shelley 1st of all just tell us more about why you felt the need to quit your job. there's scant on grain in the and and just been a nightmare and everybody's just tragically really frightened anyway i'm getting numb every other day with e-mails so i could actually see what was going on and we cut we shut down our county which is 560000 people or 3

people that were in our main hospital and that there wasn't any extra deaths it was 3 people that were in this hospital in call help and we shut down our county for it so. how do you keep that information choir is that sad to keep that us out i mean unfortunately all the other people that work within the n.h.s. i me they do the same now they could share the e-mails right from the start so i expose the mail and it's caused a lot of flack. i do not see the positive of that i did the government will argue that you know the regulations i put in place the restrictions that perhaps they're the reason why you're not seeing so many cases that. yes i'm not arguing that our county didn't need to close down it's going to be all deaths the economy is going to crash there's a bit more suicide rates for all 3 people we closed down it's got to get out of fact and the people there supposedly have to code it so

a lot of people say oh you know we have whole lot it's pretty it hasn't hit you well yes they should start targeting counties and you know that it went here arrangements and stuff like our county didn't need to shut down and this is going to cause massive problems for so many people would you like then to see what local authorities having more control over their particular regions taking it on a region by region basis. definitely you know even in summer we have so many tourists and holiday makers come to call so their numbers i mean even with all that even with all of those people it's been 77 deaths today in the whole area. that they recorded on the n.h.s. records that have died so that's just that and extra month and we close down over it do you think there's much sympathy where you are for the views that you're expressing the people of suffered because of the financial knock on effects of the

original lockdown. yes there's a lot of hate but there's a lot of love as well lots of people saying i am somebody and like i say all these people that work within the n.h.s. trust all they're getting the same emails as i did and they could be clever enough to look at the numbers and think hang on a minute we're shutting down over 3 people that are in the hospital with the virus so you know to be quiet would you just say i'm just speaking the truth so that's what i can do if you don't like it start really isn't there as a health care worker though obviously you understand that there's an awful lot of people of suffered at the hands of this virus what would you like to see the government do going forward because they're obviously afraid that the health care facilities the hospitals going to be overrun if they don't do enough to control the situation. they want to run in the supposed best way i had 3 weeks and this was the whole point back in april when we were supposed the height i had no

work i am a bank where we were all sent text messages to say that we weren't needed the hospitals were empty as far as i'm concerned it called what will we can have a thirst for now i would like to see the numbers region by region and the actual deaths worked out correctly because we all know now that. death and a flu death are classed as the same thing and if you die of it within 28 days of contacting it it's not your destitute to care the numbers are so broad in many ways . they've just been amplified needs. the trust. not the owner of the trust or don't know the right word but the lady who runs the trial she spoke up and she feels bad that i'm not lying 1st of all she called me a liar and now she's come out and said that the figures like a rat i've got no reason to lie i'm all can stand out when my can't see there are losing their jobs and men so how. big

a circle pandemic it seems unclear at the moment whether the u.k. will be in any kind of lockdown or not come christmas a think it's important to just clarify how significant the thing that will be because after such a difficult year. a time for family to come together i think just a chance to lift spirits it would be huge of people can be with family and loved ones at christmas do you think you'll get that opportunity in the. i don't know i think if they're taught no people going to reading and not abiding by this lots of people are. i honestly don't know who knows what weights and forward at the moment they are they said yesterday that the numbers have been filled and they have been accurate here you know. shelley thanks so much for coming on all too thanks for your time shelly taska and i just employed my guest. and that wraps it up for this news are you watching r t 2 national appreciate your time i will be back with the dots on the top stories i

hope to see you and often no. one else seemed wrong. just don't call. me. yet to shape out this day. and in detroit because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the world is driven by shaped by.

the dares thinks. we dare to ask. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. tyson nation full community. are you going the right way or are you being led to. direct. what is true what is faith.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. during the vietnam war us forces also bombs neighboring laos it was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know. we mounted laos well my skin is officially the mouth heavily bombed country per capita in all of human history millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this small. country jordan i remember the thing happened there even today kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago is the us making amends for the tragedy and what help do the people need in that little land of mine.

jackson in georgia. a town of 4000 people in the southern united states. and stays where executions in the nearby prison are a way of life. in a few hours one will take place by lethal injection. causing me to feel tonight is happening around. am who i am with the death penalty i think people get what they deserve i think that's how it should be in the family physical harm if they. do if you know a lot of children getting children. that yes definitely. comes in 2016 the state of georgia broke the record for the most executions in the
