the only question. is a fact. i hope that all the steps we have taken recently will lead to the establishment of a long term peace for the benefit as a by john and armenia russian peacekeepers head to the nagorno-karabakh conflict zone after a peace deal. with resistance in your. eye. protesters stormed parliament on government buildings in the armenian capital. feet

for there are. claims news about a potentially breakthrough u.s. seen was deliberately held back until after the election. just after 1 am here in moscow this wednesday morning pleasure to have you with us you know neal bringing you the top global news stories this hour a deal has been struck between armenia and azerbaijan to end fighting in the disputed. region the truce was brokered by moscow and includes a prominent role for russian peacekeepers. expressed his hope of a lasting settlement between the warring sides. but you said you should care about you what is happening in karabakh is

a truly great tragedy i want to note with great satisfaction the outlines of compromise and the agreements reached on ending the bloodshed i hope that all the steps we have taken recently will lead to the establishment of a long term peace for the benefit of both azerbaijan and armenia. all my colleagues are earlier probed on the current situation in the disputed region and they renewed hopes for a lasting peace. well the place to brokered by most has 9 points the 1st and the most important one is of course about ceasefire for 6 weeks the region has been seen to bloody deadly fighting with bombardments habit to refire and of course casualties including among civilian population we have been receiving dramatic pictures like these for this whole month and now the size decided to stop it the russian peacekeepers are going to the region to secure the agreement we know that 3 military airplanes have already lend attain the city of yet another mania this is

these are the pictures provided by russian defense ministry. airplanes broad person now equipment transportation special week old. russian peacekeepers are going to be stationed mostly along what is known as the law change corridor it is a 5 kilometer wide road connecting the media to the gordon week and it is expected that they're going to stay there for at least 5 years and it could be extended what is the agreement say about specific districts well they do says that the army is stop there where they are now meaning as it is by john will keep the areas it managed to seize during the fight including the very important town of. different sides call it differently it is a strategic location because it is on the high heel and you can see the whole step on the cat which is the capital of the go from there and military generals say if you have this shushi then you have the whole of the core of the now azerbaijan will

have it heard as a leader call and it. it is very important for both as it is by john that i mean him not only strategically but culturally and religiously as well well now as the debate john will have control over this town and also the agreement says that their media will have to return to 3 disputed regions a defacto following the conflict in 1901. the. latin regions so as you understand this agreement is basically everything that who wanted for many decades and it is a defeat for the armenian side these are both leaders speaking about it so differently the text of the statement is unspeakably painful for me personally and for our people i have made this decision as a result of an in-depth analysis of the military situation this is not a victory but there will be a defeat unless you recognize yourself as

a loser we will never recognize all services losers and this should. and revival. for my part i would like to say that i'm very glad that today we've sealed the deal to settle a years long conflict between armenia and azerbaijan the occupation as. well obviously the agreement sparked different reaction among people from both sides with celebrations in azerbaijan and violent protests in armenia with so many people calling the leader of the country a traitor what about the people who have been forced to flee their homes during the fighting have they been taken into account yes of course and i think this is one of the brightest points of the sick room and we know that tens of thousands of people were forced to flee not gotten caught up but had now according to this deal they will be able to return safely back to their homes in the. this will be morning told by u.n. personnel u.n. staff and also we hear that the sides agreed to exchange prisoners of war and the

dead bodies of their soldiers and their civilians well in armenia large swathes of the public the treaty has been branded a humiliating defeat overnight protesters stormed government buildings in europe. thank you thank you thank you thank you. thank you thank you thank you thank. you thank god. i come to the public square in the morning on. the still sign i am your media foreign minister and if she sang gets closer to the families of those who purchases or make things like this. she can rest between. immediate connection

here about having our last great down the last 24 hours. some some of supporting the pushing out leaving upstate what was necessary. to make leinster agreement and making the trains are back. into the sun is less people there than the last night there were some purchases like were made and i'm going to. start a sentence. somewhere on the speaker the. prime minister says. i say i miss him still undergoing treatment so no life threatening injuries. it was a purchase there as you know exactly where. i was a sign of this machine your attitude. towards

a mysterious. person just looks like it's going to be no november experience and i've. lost my. place presence as far as anything else can save. a government building. like leaves what i'm. told i was. we heard from the spokesperson for the red cross in the corner carla back she sees the truce as crucial for the sullivans of people who have fled the area the impact of this kill a son once a life the stick you have put police in across the ringback region have been devastated and turned the last. few weeks about 90000 people who had to leave their homes in search for safety in or outside number in a car bus maybe moving to army. people are being made for

food tell. mental health support psychological support it could also support medical assistance and who are ready to peen. president approach very ringback directly to step in. if you spent by providing medical homes for do. he said trump. always tender ready to support over those who are affected. by face escalation. or history professor peter because nick gave us his views on the complex rules as he sees the foreign powers and carra by. so we've got a very complicated situation here with a lot of different interests involved you've got the turks. supporting the azerbaijan position and then you've got russia to some extent and iran

supporting the armenian position so had russia wanted to intervene more aggressively they could have changed the balance of forces but they have tried they've got friendly relations to some extent with both sides i think it's very significant on the one hand they get the armenian troops out of that region. and laus russia to play an even bigger role turkey and iran are also going to be involved and the country that all 3 of those countries border this region so it's still a very tense situation. where everybody is hoping that this cease fire will hold and that russian peacekeeping troops will be able to do so. let's move the program will know the united states has passed a grim milestone 10000000 coronavirus cases spot there's

a ray of hope farm and giant pfizer has announced that its covert vaccine has been 90 percent effective in trials president trump though is suspicious about the timing of the announcement made some 48 hours after media outlets called the election for joe biden 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. the company's c.e.o. is not how of an egg saying the announcement had nothing to do it politics the vaccine is being developed together with german drug maker bio n. tech manifold goes well the majority of americans who want it will receive it next year at all the election the prospect of a job was used to score political points we will massless tribute in the backseat in just a few short weeks it will quickly eradicate the virus and wipe out the child to 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 well i spoke to a doctor on the program dr john dombrowski director of the washington pain center he say's the political game should stop person takes focus away from saving lives that kobe 1000 pandemic at least in the united states is been a political football a thing to her 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 which 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 ush 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 what 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 who get flu vaccines 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. russia is also in the race to launch a covert vaccine the most promising candidate is vini developed by the galileo research center here in moscow despite facing some skepticism from the west that made claims that cornish were cut to russia into production it's currently undergoing a stage 3 trials involving participants from around the world the president and russian chamber of commerce's among the volunteers he believes politics should not stand in the way of countries receiving the vaccine. has been 3 days since the vaccine i feel perfectly fine i've been feeling perfectly well since the very 1st

day i took it and there's a psychological difference i feel calmer when you read the press and see how big a problem the pandemic is and you see how much harm it has brought to the health of people to businesses only then do you realize how vital sciences and how important it is to look for solutions together in italy we're still using methods from 1916 like lock down and there aren't any other options that's fine but i'd like to think that in the last 100 years new methods have emerged vaccines for instance can save many lives and politics shouldn't prevent the spread of medicine politics shouldn't prevent human development and shouldn't create obstacles to the health of people including those in italy now who don't have the opportunity to choose whether to vaccinate or not die election for old or just sore losers we debate the fallout from last week's contested us presidential vote after the break this is our international.

join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness. let's compare biden he comes into office potentially and this means that i believe we're going to see a repeat of 2008 remember obama took office and because obama was a pretty young guy the timing didn't come through financing he was. a law student then very good with constitutional law but he didn't know anything about wall street he kind of threw the keys of wall street over larry summers and all these other folks and they went ahead and they created the global financial crisis. after a fact that seemed to benefit they can tell you there's in

a remarkable way remember the billionaires after the 2008 crisis drupal and or more of their wealth while vast swathes of american population went bankrupt or lost their house so i'm pretty sure going to see a repeat of that by. 60 minutes into the program welcome back amid tweets the clearing that the election was stolen claims of frauds and lawsuits being filed it is clear donald trump will not be going quietly from the white house he's alleged voting irregularities on a significant scale and no whistleblower has come forward claiming to work for one of nevada's election departments his testimony appears to corroborate at least some of team trump's claims. i personally witnessed people handing multiple unopened mail in ballot and elopes to 2 other people who then opened and filled out the

ballots against the side of the biden harris van we're not allowed to talk to the monitors observers were not supposed to say anything ever to the. well that's far from the only claim of electoral fraud a quick search online yields other examples this week of suppose in irregularities a conservative activist has posted photos claiming to show ups and t. ballots requested and returned by dead people in the state of michigan and another facebook post that's gone viral suggests a person received 2 ballots in the state of pennsylvania battleground state here's a look at some other allegations some of these folks. like this. there are no. there you just don't make it worse because i received 2 ballots. my name but different versions one had my middle name and my last name i said when you can't see anything the closest desk ok let's put

things in perspective the close 6 the closest desk was 30 feet to the far this test was probably 150 feet. so we've got a terrific lineup to delve a little bit further into this story no we have got michael wrecked in wall former professor of liberal studies at new york university john griffin political commentator and fanie rogers right a political activist you're all very welcome to the program we seem to last at michael there for a moment good to see you all john can we kick off with you how significant do you think that these claims of electoral fraud are enough to sway nationwide election or is this funds a full team from thinking. well firstly i want to say that the election hasn't been certified yet so traditionally speaking the u.s. has not actually elected its president but going from there i'll say absolutely

there there is definitely substantial evidence of voter fraud one of the easiest vectors that's something that cuts through the partisan the b.s. no matter where you stand is when you have 100 percent or more of registered voters in a certain county voting that shows that there are people voting or votes being counted that are not legitimate and you have in nevada 125 percent of the legitimate electorate voting that's impossible obviously broad you have the 109 percent of the electorate voting in pennsylvania obviously fraud and so this vector alone demands we should at least be willing to investigate these things in a dispassionate and and you know in every way that the law calls for and allows my correction wall to president trumps made a lot of claims are for all this past 7 days but as far as i can see he's not exactly backing them a concrete proof is

a well there's there's tons of evidence and you can't possibly cite all of the cases there if there's there's ballot harvesting there of ballots being dispensed with is name on it there are outlets that have been cast by dead people i people that lived through the civil war i mean we have ballots i mean it's who they sent in 3 and 4 in the morning they're being counted without any observers being up witness this route or there is tons of evidence that there this is going on is camp there's a laundry list that he can't possibly sightedness beat. in the can you does it give you pause for thought maybe there is something not quite right happening here no one thought that donald trump would win the 1st time perhaps perhaps there really was a real determination that he could go ahead do something become president for a 2nd time and a lot of people out there did not want to repeat well let's be clear i think

a lot of people thought that president trump had a chance of being reelected but let's also be clear when we're talking about this feckless idea of voters frogs there is more chance of being struck by lightning after surviving a plane crash than there has been this is a voting fraud in this country let's just also be clear about the fact that today even republican senator john thune said that they are keeping up this charade because they need trump voters to come out and support the 2 republican candidates running in the georgia senate runoff so this is just another. of a presidency that's been ripe with fantastical lies. and really making a mockery of the american democratic system in an effort to try to hold on to power that is simply not his anymore the american people have rejected donald trump as president of the united states michael doesn't this whole smok of sorry grapes if the g.o.p. had actually gotten their meal and vote game level as high as the democrats instead

of complaining we may just have been looking at a different result. actually may have the record results for republican history and furthermore i know you're not very early on is a big difference between mail in vote and people on the ground right. yes the republicans generally showed up at the polls and cast legitimate ballots whereas the democratic party harvested hundreds of 1000 of them outlets through the mail and let me just add it up on sort of the after pausing to legitimate book yet after ponsonby vote let me just say something about lies this is a party that accused trump of collusion with the russians who accuse trump of who actually impeached them on the basis of that phone call who's actually going to be in that list of the reckless russians and the chinese and the and the ukrainians and other countries it's complete lies this this they're trying to gaslight the republican party they're epic grits and liars what's to be clear 1st of all i'm not

a democrat so i am not aware of that do i need to respond. but really quickly should we not count donald trump's vote who also voted by mail with that vote harvested bill is that not a legitimate i didn't hear a question and already answered i didn't hear a question as a man joe not john i was you can come in of course but while you're answering do you think that what we are seeing are just the odd errors on the nora to this being twisted to make it seem like a much bigger issue. certainly there are political narratives it's one of the biggest elections of our lifetimes but the fact remains that unprecedented thing was done in this election which was to pause legitimate voting in states where trump had obviously and miraculously only with absentee mail in ballot votes being counted ok that's the only thing that made the difference in these states has had 100 percent turnout for biden that's magically impossible even with

the historical bent that goes towards democrats and in favor of democrat candidates on mail in ballots and historically that's still mathematically impossible so yes there is a legitimate case your whether people think trump is a blowhard whether they think he's got hot blood irrelevant is he the legitimately elected president and did by then cheat if those 2 things can't be answered conclusively we need to investigate. itself that new clear just to point out what donald trump is doing right now is legal we've seen legal challenge after legal challenge for instance in the u.k. over brags that it should be pointed out that was mainly from the political left so isn't what the president doing simply democracy in action. oh absolutely i want to be clear i have no problem with president trump challenging anything that he wants to he is challenging right now and judges are throwing out those challenges left and right due to no evidence we're talking about. well if i could finish my point

how of all the lawsuits that you want but the bottom line is is that the 20th amendment of the constitution says on january 20th joseph are biden is going to be sworn in as president of the united states there is absolutely no evidence at all if you find the evidence produced that you've got to produce more than blowhards and people like rudy giuliani who has his own run ins with the ukrainians right and to be you or your lead spokesperson find the evidence you have more and more republican senators bend cessna presta bring forth the evidence and then let's have a court case about it but if you don't have the evidence it doesn't matter i can't say look i saw a u.f.o. i'm an eyewitness to seeing a u.f.o. therefore you have those exist right so all we have is the are these eyewitnesses but no hard evidence donald trump has every single right to challenge any outcome that he wants to he can call for recounts in any state that he wants to but if he

doesn't have evidence the judicial process is going to take place and he's going to lose again ignominiously and leave his office and bear city. michael that's absolutely you know that's great people that are some much evidence you're going to be blown away there are. be of evidence you're absolutely. sure. your rhetoric has no factual basis behind it typical for a state democratic. i'm not under current law to be on the right. i'll i don't care what you are you're a booster of the democratic party i'm not you'll say i'm going to hold on and i don't like to interject something that may bring some sanity back back to this here may i go ahead but hold on a minute i just want to put a point in michael michael for a few seconds ok the numbers it's hard to see the mounting up biden has around 5000000 more votes than trump roughly can you credibly say there were 5000000

fraudulent votes cast i would estimate there are 2500000 brought you up well it's into the states that will overthrow the election and the various swing states in which they happen there are adelson that they need. are those the states where. where the difference are those are the this is the network or are we also going to i'm going to count to you hold on guys ok i thought those are the things you have been with her where it is where your grandmother voted to make sure i'm going to be a lot of it is right now or just can't let you let john and john go ahead both of you are making somewhat valid points michael i tend to agree with you simply because those votes only materialize in states where trump and sizable lead any hours late into the night and they were all largely a test of time when these votes from mail in ballots which had the history of problems with fraud that's even acknowledged by democratic administrations so here

it is that's just what actually what they are that is what how are the votes being sourced and what are we asked to do that that particular process all going votes are definitely question we have we have to ramp up soon we so we're just going to leave your final your final thoughts ok if you have a say 1520 seconds or so michael do you want to wrap up your argument there. yeah that's nothing short of a who attacked hell a revolution on the art of the democratic party apparatus they have put in motion a complete fraud franchise busting. photo election fraud i'm president of proportions. i think that the republicans and their boosters are mad because not enough people double down on white supremacy and the protection of the wages a. democratic process continue count and all of the votes again if you need to challenge all of the bullets if you want to there is no evidence you're not going

to find by going out of there it's not joe joe biden will be. 20 or 2021 john graphing or be in jail for how do i wish i knew i wanted to date a lot of the accusations of voter fraud throughout us political history are based on circumstantial and anecdotal evidence but these facts that i'm about to say are not over 100 percent of counties major counties in all of the contested states voting impossible this is a huge indicator in vector voter fraud ok it cannot be that in my eyes because statistical in nature number 2 the states where there are the states where there are disagreements over that you do see of the votes counted oh pause their election and the middle of voting unprecedented definitely red flag definitely should be investigated well plenty of food for thought from all of you thank you very much for coming on the program like a wrecking ball former professor of liberal studies from new york university john griffin political commentator and unfunny rogers writes political activist thank

you will take care of you this is your art international bringing you news views and plenty more besides to stay with the program not to find out what's on offer for you during the week so use it. i am max kaiser this is big time is there re port lots to get to stacey yes well you know we've been talking about the can tell in our class over the past few years see.
