a vote recount is ordered in the u.s. state of georgia. as wrangling over the presidential election goes on. riot police fired tear gas in the armenian crowds accuse the government to capitulate by signing a peace deal. but the armenian, the prime minister, claimed, without the truth, most of the disputed region would have been lost. and the developers of a russian, the coronavirus, a vaccine prepared to start mass,

just point to it being a highly effective hungry says it wants to join the queue. for the russian production broadcasting live from our studios in moscow. this is our to international. i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now the u.s. state of georgia is to hold an election recount the local secretary of state confirmed the news. citing joe biden's narrow margin of victory over donald trump and takes us through what it could mean for the presidential election. well, georgia is a state was 16 votes in the u.s. electoral college, and usually it is considered to be

a red state that generally just goes routinely for republicans in national elections. however, at this point, it's a swing state. and in the count of the votes, the 1st count joe biden had a very narrow lead. now at this point, we've got george's secretary of state coming forward and saying that a hand recount is taking place at the request of the trump team. mathematically, you have to do a full recount because the margin is so close right now. it's $14101.00, it's a big process to be a methodical process, and it will be a process that i'm sure that the replay of oversight. we want to make sure that both parties have the opportunity to observe this because we understand the stakes are higher. now georgia's law allows for a recount of the votes. if the margin is less than point 5 percent allows for the candidate to request a recount. now at this point, the trump campaign is seeking a recount in pennsylvania as well as in wisconsin. now there are some states around

the country where if the margin is close enough, there's an automatic recount to the campaign of one candidate or other doesn't actually have to request it. however, in georgia, it is being requested by the trump camp. they're seeking one in pennsylvania and wisconsin. it hasn't yet happened there. now at this point, we've got doug collins, who is heading up the trump campaign's efforts for a recount in georgia. this is what he had to say. we had to monday in the fool hand counts of every ballot each and every county in georgia due to widespread allegations of voter irregularities, issues in $3000.00 machines and poll, which axis. now georgia only has 16 electoral votes. so if georgia were to flip in trump's favor, it ultimately would not change the outcome of the election. it's not enough votes to take the election away from biden sense the vote on november 3rd, republicans and trump supporters have been talking about irregularities and the possibility of fraud. they've talked about possible ballot harvesting possible

malfeasance with mail in ballots. and the us media has largely dismissed their concerns as outrageous and considers joe biden to be the winner of the election. however, trump supporters seem quite emboldened. they continue to argue that trump is the actual winner of the election in order for that to be the case. they would have to show some pretty, pretty widespread fraud and irregularities at this point. we still have a contested election here in the united states. president trump is also seeking a recount in nevada, where a whistleblower has now come forward, claiming to have worked for an election department there. his testimony appears to corroborate at least some of team trump's claims of fraud. i personally witnessed of people handing multiple in open mail in ballots to 2 of the people who then opened and filled out the ballots against the side of the biden. harris van were not allowed to talk to them on the observers were not supposed to say anything ever to the of course we should stress that none of the fraud claims have been proven,

but there's no shortage of allegations emerging. and conservative activist has posted photos claiming to show absentee ballots requested and returned by dead people in the state of michigan and another facebook post that has gone viral suggests one person received 2 ballots in the state of pennsylvania. ballots my name, but different versions. one hand, my middle name and my last name i said with, you can't see anything. the closest desk. ok, let's put things in perspective. the close 6, the closest desk was 30 feet. the force of this test was probably 150 feet. however, officials in different states claim no significant election fraud has been found. pennsylvania had a free fair and secure election and the geishas a fraud and illegal activity have been repeatedly debunked and dismissed by the

courts. hoaxes and nonsense don't buy into these things. the up people shows how trump's persistence and unfounded claims of fraud and refusal to concede the election to biden are dividing, not just the country, but his own party. we put the issues surrounding allegations of foul play, a pretty big it unprecedented thing was done in this election, which was to pause legitimate voting in states where trump had obvious leagues and miraculously only with absentee mail in ballot votes being counted ok. that's the only thing that made the difference in these states had a 100 percent turnout for biden. that's not equally impossible, even with the historical bent that goes towards democrats and in favor of democrat candidates on mail in ballots. and historically there 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 them cheat?

if those 2 things can't be answered conclusively, we need to investigate. president trump's 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 sigh all of the cases there's, there's harvesting their ballots being dispensed with. it's name on it. there are, well, it's been cast by dead people. i've people that lived through the civil war. i mean, we have ballots. i mean, who they sent in 3 and 4 in the morning. they're being counted without any observers being up witness the count. or there is tons of evidence that there this is going on is can't. there's a laundry list that he can't possibly sidedness beat. no one thought that donald trump would win the 1st time, perhaps. perhaps there really was a real determination that he could go ahead and 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 presidential had chance of being reelected. but let's also be clear when we're talking about this feckless idea. 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. there's so much evidence. you're going to be blown away. that it be of evidence. you're absolutely wrong. all we have is the, are these, this is but no hard evidence down. the shrub has every single right to challenge any outcome that he was soon 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. so this is just another continuation of a presidency that's been rife 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 switching gears now, the armenian opposition is calling on the prime minister to step down after he signed a hugely unpopular peace deal with azerbaijan. throughout the day, protests raged on the streets of your van against the truce over the disputed. no go to know about region pictures, show policing firing, tear gas on the ground. hundreds had gathered outside the parliament denouncing the pact with azerbaijan. as capitulation, several protesters were detained. while a police officer was reportedly beaten up reports now from the scene. 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, there's

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, can and you can clearly hear how high the emotions out, 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 have talked to here, they are saying that the incumbent prime minister, nicol passion is a traitor. stone you call pushing and betrayed us here, traitor. he's a peak. how he could do this to us. i have friends in karbala, a policeman. there is a friend of mine. i worried about him. you thought there is a bradley. the people who are gathered here are those who love their homeland. who believe that this decision is a step in the bag for all armenians pushing on his surrender our lands in secret and is now hiding. he's not going to come out and explain his actions yet. he in

turn is essentially saying that he had no other choice and that had he not signed this particular document, then it would have been worse. here's how he explained his heartbreaking decision. had the fighting, continued the kind of curt mark to me and ask around, would almost certainly have fallen fountains of our soldiers with them who found themselves surrounded. there would have been a collapse. we had to sign this agreement, but for most here, unity is impossible. as long as nicol passion and, and his government are in power, i make is done of reporting from here on in armenia. see among the people condemning of the truce were those with firsthand experience of the conflict. we heard from one woman who was forced to flee. the region means is that the year for i left a car about 3 weeks ago. all my family are there. the bombs fell outside our house . there were children there and they didn't know where to go. what to do,

then they realized the word was happening. children died young boys for what to give away or land. this treaty as an attack on our mean eons when the prime minister signed it, he betrayed us. if we were willing to give up the slant, we wouldn't have sent so many young men to work. i want to quit. if it goes on like this, who lose armenia, there will be another genocide. my brothers in karbala are soldiers who are refusing to either pos because this is our homeland. meanwhile, and as our by john, people have taken to the streets in celebration while armenians see the truce as a defeat. many as areas regard it as victory. those are the observations are saying,

let's look at some of the main aspects of the new treaty. the most contentious issue being that azerbaijan hold on to its military gains, plus armenia is obliged to hand over 3 districts by the end of the month. it has also been agreed that russian peacekeepers will patrol the line of contact between opposing forces and the roads linking the region to armenia. also, refugees are allowed to return home and prisoners of war will be exchanged a man has been arrested in the u.k. after crashing his car into a police station in london before getting out and setting fire to the road. and the police station at edmonton in the british capital was evacuated, and the area sealed off. the man had been seen getting out of the vehicle pouring a liquid over the road before setting it alight. no injuries were reported and the

motive behind the incident is not yet known. still to come this hour, russia's corona virus vaccine is about to enter a mass distribution. after some promising test results announced very much more of a short break. this is our chief international is you'll be a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safe. isolation will be a dirty. are you going the wrong way, or are you being led? so what is truth? what's his fate in the world corrupted?

you need to descend to join us in the depths or a maid in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex simon shore, and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics, sport. i'm show business. i'll see you then and welcome back. this is our t. international. now with russia's daily covert infection rate hovering around 20000, new measures are being rolled out in a bid to stop the spread starting this friday in moscow. restaurants, bars and nightclubs will have to close by 11 pm. colleges and high schools are switching to remote learning and the seating capacity in theaters and cinemas is

limited to 25 percent of that is happening as the developers of the russian coronavirus jab, sputnik v. have said, mass vaccinations will start nationwide in just a few weeks time. it follows some highly promising results from advanced phase 3 trials. the publication of the interim results of the poster, a district in clinical trials that convincingly demonstrates intricacy gives way to mass vaccination and could be 19 in the coming weeks. 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's sales of the broad, its production growth is drastically off till russia plans to have 500000 doses in and is planning to start producing $6000000.00 doses of vaccine

a month starting april 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. and its 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. the 1st interim danger analysis that $900.00 street clinical trials in the russian federation demonstrated 92 percent. because of course, there are still concerns. there are doubts. there is criticism, 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 corbett 19, but is definitely the only country to work on the cure on the protection you

actually shot, or the placebo i assume you're not sure. i am absolutely sure, because yes, it is. what is known as double blind trial, meaning that neither doctors know participants know whether they get placebo all 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 i 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 sputnik so i'm still mourning to buy that off. i mean, they called me to ask me how i remember like 1st shot. i felt really miserable, you know, i had some fever, muscle pain, and

a headache and out of the 2nd shot as well, but they didn't bother me at all because it didn't last long although you know, i'm ready to pay this price to have antibodies. meanwhile hungry is among the latest european countries to impose a lockdown following a dramatic surge in covert cases. it will last at least $30.00 days and includes a curfew. the government is in the queue to buy russia's vaccine. earlier my colleague harvey spoke about those plans with the former minister who contract with the virus himself and has been in quarantine for more than 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, i think you're totally right. so any time international cooperation based on mutual respect, it is not. and i think the book received political correctness, judging each other during each other should be left behind. and instead of 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 only developing the vaccine regardless who they are. so we are interested in india, american, in the european, in their russian, in the chinese, in these very vaccine development and research to be successful. because the more it seems we'll have the better, you know, shooting with everybody, including russia, of course. yeah. if this is correct of reports, that hunger is 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 the response from other countries? because as we say these things are often politicized lucca, these should be avoided. so now it's a vote, be a light for the people. so he's any time political aspects should be left behind and this is the time we understand that it is realistic that indeed some small scale be launched in order to make the national

necessary clinical trials on their spec and hungary and as also the 2nd part of january, it might be realistic, got sued by from russia, but we are not going to negotiate and go about simply buying vaccine from russia. we are negotiating the production or at least the part of the production to hungary. there is a company operating here in angry which has been producing for other viruses and diseases of course. but they seem to be able to transfer their capacity in a way that they would be able to be involved in the production site in march by nationalist groups in warsaw to mark poland's independence day, descended into violence the but the protesters rallied. and despite a ban on public gatherings,

tensions flared with the far right activists throwing firecrackers, stones, and bottles and police. a number of arrests were made and several people were injured and needed hospital treatment. march came at a time when thousands have been holding daily nationwide. protests against the government's backing of plans last month to tighten all the straight abortion laws in the country. and that does it for me. i will be back with more news at the top of the hour. this is art international. we're certainly glad to have you with us. same wrong lol. just don't call me just to shape our just to get the ticket and engagement. it was betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. 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 the big ok, that's the main 4 x. pair. 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 maggie, going to see a serious decline, the dollar chinese currency start to really outperform the dollar.

the new clothes will suit was to be put into wu lovable. was she sure? i can only do that would have been you could do that with us because all of those who knew used to those told me name, we will soon be confused with who would seem the most news for those emotions to be somewhat put in your sleeves. come home and use the of the 20th century was thinking of revolution, the great depression and world war, the 21st century of mental illness. that's what surfaced some psychologists tell us the only question. it is a fact 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 the mouth carry back country per capita, all human history, millions of unexploded bombs still in danger. lives in this small agricultural country, jordyn wieber thing going on, it cannot happen. and then 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 on i was always on the boombox list. actually. big city bright lights. you jump, but you know, g.'s and many dangers. it's also a city where up to 300000 crimes are committed every year for

the last one. but it's still the result least one police officer for every 200 residents in russia's capital that will not go along with the last group.

think why does someone do that? right? that's what everybody wants to know and they're liable to have achieved their quota . those play where there was played? well, because i think most people would like to think i would like to think to myself, i would never do that. but did you ever say to yourself down, why did i tell these life not why i tell these lies that i started anew. they're rooted in religion that exist in my really did not exist as i would just are. i just throw going to there probably exist among the worlds is just filler heard. there are, i says of the i the new form with the model of the wood, with the model of the mire. there was a, it was a ritual,

but just to go home or yes, my way normal i was were it was going to be true or it was work which were all choices shop or were responding to or right

now here she is. see the corners in there, right. would you bring that phone cord in? somebody up not only did kareem bring met him, but he brought it in and drop the other. another portion of it in the purse. that's yes, that's absurd. i ben. what happens here is she says he knocks around on the kitchen floor and they're like no, it doesn't work, doesn't work, renee, not good enough, didn't didn't he do it in the living room? look at this photo, look, i want to see you. oh yeah. it certainly doesn't sit with renee's no, no.
