the only question is, since it is a fact that the riot police fired tear gas in armenia, cues the government by signing a peace deal with the truce, most of the disputed region would have been lost. also had on the program, the creators of russia's call of virus vaccine, preferred to start must distribution. phase 3, trial show is 92 percent of the fed funds rate has already stated. it's ready to drug. you're not going to

be part of the production hungry just the week after the u.s. presidential election, which could yet be contested in court. democrats are seeking retribution against people trying to collect on the republican party. we have left where we were tuning in from across the globe this hour. welcome to moscow and to our team international. my names, you know, neil. the armenian opposition is calling on the prime minister to step down after he signed a highly unpopular peace deal with azerbaijan. street protests are now raging in europe against monday's truce. s'pore the disputed look back region in these

pictures. you can see police firing, tear gas on the broads. right? the day, hundreds of people gathered outside the parliament building in europe to none thing that without a capitulation, several protesters have been detained. a police officer, reportedly beaten all parties, eager should tell us more from the folk. so a few 100 people are still occupying the street right next to the armenian parliament. if you look close enough, you'll notice a very heavy police presence. essentially, the security forces have cordoned off almost the entire perimeter around the building of the national assembly. here to prevent the protesters from potentially potentially from breaking in. also a lot of special vehicles here, you can see them down there as well. and just around the corner over there, we noticed at least one would say cannon. but so far,

this has been largely peaceful. we haven't witnessed any arrests, but you can see how passionate people are about the cools. the emotions are flying very, very high. and perhaps that's why the nice one of the peace deal between armenia and azerbaijan over the fighting in the golan a cow back was signed. things got violent here. i told you, but you can clearly hear how high the emotions, how very passionate and heartbroken people are here because of that document that was signed because they don't see it as a peace treaty. they see it as a surrender. and a lot of people who i've talked to here, they are saying that the incumbent prime minister, nicol passion is a traitor, a 2nd straight, the one traitor. did all of these very true had no right to

sign a piece of paper to give away the lands we showed our boys fighting fires and lots of exploded. just like you see our last 48 hours or not. i mean, you could call them, i mean people to me now and then land when they're leaving. and i also know he is essentially saying that he had no other choice and that had he not signed this particular document, that it would have been worse. here's how he explained his heartbreaking decision. had the fighting continued to panic, kurt mark to me and ask around, would almost certainly have fallen thousands of our soldiers with then who found themselves surrounded. there would have been a collapse. we had to sign this agreement. protests have also been taking place

elsewhere, not just here in the armenian capital, for instance, in moscow. armenians also took to the streets and they have been calling on their compadre, it's here and all around the world to night in this particular time of hardship. and there's no use here when you have to be dishing up shit. so yes, don't be afraid of shit. you know, there are ghosts that are not particularly emotion, but forbidding. and you start because you sure meant anything, but those who knew you. so when you choose to think, you start of the the

people here support this school to come together, but for most is impossible, as long as in power through armenia and azerbaijan. meanwhile, people have taken to the streets in celebration while armenian. see the truce that defeat many is yuri's regarded as a victory they say

let's bring you some details of it. the new card by treaty will see on hold on to its military gains, armenia, as well as obliged to hand over 3 districts by the end of the month. it's also been agreed that russian peacekeepers will patrol a lot of contact between opposing forces on roads linking the region to or media. but i spoke to author and history professor peter quds nic a little earlier. he believes that if not for the deal, our media would have lost a lot more. it's still a very tense situation. everybody is hoping that this ceasefire will hold and that russian peacekeeping troops will be able to do so. they've brokered 3, previous cease fires, none of which helped part of what the situation was that once the azeris, then they had a possible way to attack the capital in a corner. and that would have been

a much more devastating defeat for the armenians and what they came up with here. so it's not a setback to the armenians, but it's not nearly as devastating as a total defeat would have been another headline stories. russia is preparing to distribute its coronavirus job nationwide in just a few weeks' time outs. after some highly promising results from phase 3 trials of sputnik 3, my colleagues are discuss the latest announcement from the vaccine developers. the publication of the interim results of the street to street clinical trials to convincingly demonstrate sputnik vaccines. intricacy gives way to mass vaccination in 19, in the coming weeks. thanks to the production scale up in new manufacturing sites. spiritless, seen, will soon be available for want to put mr. ginsburg makes it very clear. rush is

getting ready for mass vaccination. what an exciting news. in fact, the drug known as sputnik 3 is already spread across the country and we hear that russia sells of the broad its production grows drastically. of course we understand that developers and scientists struggle they face some difficulties these days. do tip and demick restrictions that affect the production process, but still russia plans to have 5 100000 doses in planning to start producing 6000000 doses of vaccine a month starting april. speaking about this vaccine, it was developed by moscow's gemmell, a research center, and it is an adult, a virus vaccine. and the scientists used this mechanism that was developed actually in the 1950 s. . and this is why russia was quite fast, quite quick to come to this idea. so this adenovirus serves as a transportation as

a vehicle to carry genetic fragment from the deadly virus. the corona, virus, that causes call that 19 disease. and it is safe for the body, but it is able to make the body believe it was in fact it and make the immune system react and to produce an antibody to the faces of its clinical trials are now behind. meaning that it is proved that the vaccine is safe and it is currently undergo in phase 3 of the medical trials. it's mission is to study how effective the drug is and now we are receiving quite positive, impressive results. again, saying that these are entering early results, but still very positive. breaking the 1st interim data analysis of the sputnik vaccine against qubit 19 phase 3 clinical trials and the russian federation

demonstrated 9 to 2 percent. now this comes just after a joint project between pfizer and bio and their vaccine has proven to be over 90 percent effective. tell us more about that. yes, we hear that the vaccine that you mentioned. it's a joint germany american production indeed shows very good results. again, these are early results into results, but still the developers say it was 90 percent effective, but not everybody is fully convinced because some critical questions still remain unanswered. for example, whether this vaccine entirely prevents infection whether symptomatic areas might still be a cause for concerns in the future. or there was no information, in fact, even on the frequency of side effects or how severe they were. and we have few details on the vaccines safety profile, in fact, and we hear from pfizer. this is one of the companies behind these facts saying that all that data is going to be released in the coming weeks. so this is an ongoing developing story, and of course there are still concerns. there are doubts,

there is criticism just like with the russian vaccine. it's understandable, but my humble opinion is that the more vaccines the better for the world, because russia was the 1st country to register the drug, the vaccine against call that 19, but is definitely the only country to work on the cure on the protection. but if we come back to sputnik be you actually shot or the placebo, i assume you're not sure. i am absolutely sure because yes it is. what is what is known as double blow trial? meaning that neither doctor is no participants know whether they get placebo or are real vaccine. but i know for sure because i was so impatient actually, i wasn't supposed to know that, but i was so impatient. i got a blood test and i saw that i got to bed is meaning that there wasn't placebo, of course. so yes, i'm one of the 10s of thousands of volunteer is taking part in phase 3 of the

clinical trials of nick. and i got too short already and today is a 53rd day of the trials and a total of 180 days till mornin, by the doctor. i mean, they call me, they ask me, how do i feel? i remember after like 1st shot, i felt really miserable. you know, i had some fever, muscle pain and had a and out of the 2nd shot as well, but they didn't bother me at all because it didn't last long. so, all i know, you know, i'm ready to pay this price to have antibodies. well, with rushes dealy coronavirus infection rate topping 20 thought i was in the capital is rolling out new containment measures starting this friday. restaurants, bars and nightclubs will have to close by 11 pm. colleges and high schools are switching to remote learning and seating capacity in theaters and cinemas is

limited to 25 percent. he will, hungary is among the latest european countries to impose a lockdown following a dramatic surge in covert cases. it will last at least 30 days. includes a curfew. the government is now are preparing to import quantities of russia's seen earlier. my colleague neil harvey spoke of those plans with the hungarian foreign minister who confronted crew of ours himself has been in quarantine for over a week. i usually run like 15 kilometers on the day. you have to reach, you know, i am tired even thinking about running. so when i do a little walk around here, i got exhausted. so it's, well, it's a virus which i would like to propose to everybody to avoid its symptoms with impacts, given that this is a global problem, one would like to think that it would be tackled better by countries coming together, working together, something they're always, they will know better than anyone as a foreign minister, whether that's happening,

having found the, the level of information exchange and cooperation. look, i think you're totally right. so any time international cooperation based on mutual respect, it is now. and i think the political correctness judging each other during each other should be left behind is the moment that king go out their countries on a political basis, we should think about how to cooperate. that's why i think international cooperation would be extremely important when it comes to the vaccine, for example. so sometimes i have the feeling that the short of vaccines is becoming politicized, which i think should be again, we are crossing fingers for all companies and countries which are moving forward. we developing the vaccine regardless who they are. so we are interested in india,

american, in the european union, their russian in the chinese, in these really vaccine development and research to be successful. because the more scenes we will have is the better, you know, shooting with everybody, including russia, of course. yeah. if this is correct of reports that i'm going to be buying some russian vaccines in december, but like you said, you were looking at all. busy the options, is there any concern though about how that will be met to response from other countries? because as we say these things are often politicized lucca, these should be avoided. so now it's a vote. the life of the people always anytime political aspects should be left behind and this is the time we understand. it is realistic that indeed some small scale all of the debris scum be launched in order to make the national national necessary clinical trials on this vacuum. hungary,

and as also the 2nd part of january, might be realistic, does the buy, while the deep from russia. but we are not going to negotiate and go about simply buying vaccine for russia. we are not go shooting for my station while the production, or at least the part of the production to hungary. there is a company operating here in ungar e, which has been producing scenes for other viruses. and these uses of course, they seem to be able to transfer their capacity in a way that they would be able to be involved in the production cycle. still to come this hour on r.t. . yes. liberal celebrate joe biden's. al lection victory projected ones least many are owing to his well for revenge against from supporters make up that story and more to the point.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics, sports business. i'm show business, i'll see you then what you people look for to see whether what we're saying is actually playing out in the real world. and so the thing to look at would be the u.s. dollar versus the chinese or other big. ok, that's the main 4 expire that's going to tell you what's happening in the global economy. if this all this debt is going to trigger all this money printing, the dollar will start to drift lower and it's already, you know, looking very weak. i think the last 4 years under they've been able to kind of propped up to a large degree. but i think my going to see a serious decline of the dollar to see the chinese currency start to really outperform the dollar

1000 minutes into the program. welcome back. it's been confirmed that the u.s. state of georgia will hold an election recount the local secretary of state's making that announcement in the past couple of hours, citing joe biden's noro margin of victory over donald trump because the margin is so close right now. well, georgia has 16 electoral votes, meaning that if the result there was overturned, it would not affect the overall things done, but may just divide the case for further recounts. meanwhile, the knives are right for donald trump. supporters left leaning media personalities

have called for them to be named shamed, and held accountable for their choice of president. if past to lose, but only actually able ors have to live. they have to, we have to collectively, in essence, burn down the republican party. we have to level them because if there are survivors, if there are people who weathered this storm, they will do it again. threats like these aren't only being heard from rank and file liberals. some of the loudest voices are saying, if you don't care what the liberal program, good luck finding a job. security, sympathize with those dealing with losing is not easy to descend into. and one has to think not only about what's best for the nation peaceful transfer of power, but how any future employers might see you and karen to define during adversity. caitlin collins just reported white house staff are starting to look for jobs. employers considering them should know there are consequences for hiring anyone who helps trump attack american values. find out how at the trump accountability

project, the trump accountability project mentioned there was just recently found it likely with the goal of naming and shaming those who work for trump's administration so they can find any more work. congresswoman alexandria causing a cortez also raised a lot of eyebrows with a tweet singing a similar to is anyone calling these trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? i feel see decent probability of many deleted tweets writings, photos in the future. and who can forget the mainstream media trying to sabotage trump at every step of his presidency is one thing. but now many want to prosecute him. it's all very different to the message of solidarity and bringing the country together that we heard in biden's victory speech to make progress. we have to stop treating our opponents as enemies. there will be no blue states and red states when we were just the united states of america. maybe

a supporters got the wrong idea because repressing red votes out of existence won't necessarily make them blue. all that italy, terry and rage has been coming from the left, submit or else get fired, get banned, shut up. it's ridiculous and yes kind of scary because they're turning violent. are you saying people should lose jobs or not get future jobs based on their political beliefs? that's right. of the 3rd reich. nice career you have there be a shame if something you know happened to it. and off the tool unhinged person from supporters. the conservatives have been canceled and banned and blacklisted the famed and smeared relate leslie the last 4 years, especially by mainstream media, by far left agitators, people losing their jobs for simply supporting the president people having their homes, dogs, people being attacked. some supporters are, i've been through all of this, they've survived the last 4 years. they're actually when i've been seeing more and

bolder, to get outspoken to stand up, to not be afraid of these tactics anymore. and the democrats, i believe, a lot of people do tend to have that we have a plan for a permanent democrat majority in this country. so republican could ever get elected in federal elections in this country. and, and they can, you know, sort of march in there, there of one party socialist, a tall terry and utopia. the european commission chief said disagreements with the us will not simply disappear when joe biden takes over the white house. she spoke right after the e.u. imposed $4000000000.00 of import tariffs on american goods. i believe that divisions can always be breached once can be healed. but some shifts in priorities and perceptions. run much deeper than one pulley to sion, a one administration and they will not disappear because of one election. ursula

vonda lane has essentially been outlining what she sees as the e.u. use priorities, its interests to keep this transatlantic relationship between the e.u. and the us. strong and make it stronger. but if you listen to her speech, it really does seem that just before joe biden comes into office, she is looking to take the bull by the horns and it doesn't take too much to, to read what she says as being a list of demands. she talks about the digital economy making that farah, she talks about tax, in general, she talks about strengthening organizations such as the un, the world health organization and the world trade organization. all things that biden will now have to look at when he becomes the next u.s. president. now this is all in the context of the fact that the e.u. earlier this week decided to slap $4000000000.00 worth of retaliatory taxes on the

u.s. products coming into the e.u. . now this is in relation to a long running to speak that's been going on in regards to subsidies given to airbus and boeing and trump himself. during his term as president has been fear eous about these subsidies. now it had been thought that the e.u. was going to hold back on these retaliatory taxes wait for that election to play out. and then it was a biden administration, sort of will reopen negotiations or a softly softly approach. but essentially it hasn't done that. and even the u.s. exporters are sounding the alarm. additional tariffs would be a major blow to the u.s. spirits industry, especially kraft to distillers who are struggling to regain their footing, following the closings of distillery tasting rooms, restaurants and bars due to cope with 19. well, it's not gone down massively well in europe, either the federation of wine exporters describe these retaliatory taxes. it's been dangerous and in comprehensible and said that raised the risk for them to the

situation is now extremely worrying. it is more than ever necessary to get out of this interminable conflict, because that is the only way to end these taxes. and there is a dispute as a european level as well. germany is being more conciliatory towards the us. france seems to be taking a harder line all the while from delaine is trying to portray the e.u. as having sort of a joined up thinking a stance on this part by attacking 1st. there is this question as to where the countries and you are really formed in one line behind that or whether this could backfire not necessarily in the long term, but in the short term to on this issue, we spoke with franco frattini, former foreign minister of italy, who offered some insight on the underlying trade dispute between the e.u. and washington. it is a long story. we are not talking about reasons,

you know, you, united states, you relations. i remember myself. you really thousands of risen above many attacks from you were from the states to finding counsel to me to finally start with the common free trade space between europe and united states. no success. i'm sure president biden, if confer, i think, would be dealing with these relations trade relations with you in a different way. comparing with president russell, the call is of the table, the relations of you with the united states and imagine a very sensitive like for entry. the long table and i think

transatlantic relations at stake if we are completely unable to meet any progress during the 4 years of president trump, the euro has been under consider by the united states. and i think we have new roles. the new president will be paid more attention to the need to restore a looser in the field offering training, a decent level of relations franco frattini, when we are back watching the hawks and moments, tyrrell ventura and gas are standing by, and i'll be here again in 30, with all your fresh global news updates of the ketchup, and really exclaimed joe biden,

to be president elect come on group. that's not how it works. fine, although crowley's made that determination and we aren't there yet, was the election free and fair? and what is the possibility, how big country played the election will soup will sure. wish to be sure. but do w. clubbable was sure border doesn't actually matter. the age to put have been murdered by hugo. that when us goes all of those who knew those stories could mean game we will see in the movie it is with who would seem the most famous, but is the most severe. some of what is in your speech. come off the news, the of the 20th century was doing in a revolution, the great depression and world war the 21st century of mental illness.

those aren't my words. that's what surfaced some psychiatry to tell us. the only question is, should we accept it as a fact? yes or no. during the vietnam war, u.s. forces also bombs neighboring laos. it was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know how much mouth carry back to country per capita. all human history, millions of unexploded bombs still in danger. lives in this small agricultural country. jordyn wieber thing going on a canal, it's happening there. even today, kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago. is the us making amends for that tragedy and what help do the people need in that little land of mines.
