god, god, god, god was during friday's cabinet meeting russia's president also highlighted the dire humanitarian situation in car back after those weeks of deadly fighting. just more than 4000 people have died in the fighting, including civilians and more than 8000 injured. according to various sources, the number of refugees is in the 10s of thousands or many ethnic armenians left carra back right after the ceasefire was signed when it became clear that their whole villages would be handed over to azerbaijan. makeshift centers with volunteers and aid workers have been created in armenia to help accommodate them. but some of those fleeing their find shelter in homes of total strangers. reports.
4:04 pm
we built our dreams. we wanted our dreams to come true, but after 30 years it's war again. again, everything is destroyed. there are many places in the world where peace spells torment, but nagorno-karabakh is one of them. the truce between armenia and azerbaijan hasn't brought any relief for those who fled the war, but nona didn't want to run, not at the beginning, at least, but did for the sake of her children. yet as with the 1st bombing, i walked the children and we went to our neighbor's basements. we're in an area where there are no bomb shelters. i didn't want to leave my home, but another siren. my daughter said mom, they're coming for the sake of my children, i left step and i kept to care of the kids. well, while she's holding back tears a little dude who runs around as if war has never been a feature of her young life. finding home in armenia has never been
4:05 pm
a challenge. people weren't just welcoming. they were actively searching for refugees to give them shelter from the bomb what i thought something needs to be done. and i started looking for family to help. and they found me, they found me and i found them. and they have been living with me since october 1st, as none are, was following the war from afar. at 1st, everything seemed bright, just as if the tree was around the corner. but then troubling news from her husband on the front line was the 1st sign that all was not well in her homeland. the husband said that the is their version. he's were waiting outside the city to attack. and that night a drone attacked a car in which he and other military personnel were and he reached and his relatives took him to the hospital. but he wanted to go back and fight. and now he isn't stupid back at the peace deal, which for many looks too much like surrender. karabakh refugees, like a hammer blow, says the by journey's will never give them
4:06 pm
a chance at co-existing. my adults. my relatives lived in how drouet it was very scary. they were in the basement until mid october, but they were lucky enough to leave there and escape. my other friend lived. she lost her home and her husband, and she has no idea how to continue living. none are as well aware of what happened and how much of new going to karabakh they have to give up and she finds it impossible to accept, but it looks like she and tens of thousands of other refugees will have no choice but to get used to it and my girls done of reporting from armenia for r.t. moving the program. all know israel has become the latest country to sign up for the new covert vaccine being developed by u.s. drugs giant pfizer. it is buying 8000000 doses and that is fueling concerns. the much vaunted job is only affordable to rich countries, while wealthy nations can afford to stockpile the drugs per ones. often like the
4:07 pm
special storage equipment needed are to charlotte has more within hours of pharmaceutical giant pfizer and by own tech announcing there could be $1000.00 vaccine was 90 percent effective. but you swooped in and signed on the dotted line, . and europe wasn't alone. massive deals have also been struck with the u.s.,, the u.k. egypt, pan, canada, and new zealand, leading some n.g.o.s to question whether this is just a vaccine for rich nations. it's worrying that phase of bio and tech has already struck deals with rich countries. for more than a 1000000000 doses of its vaccine, leaving less than a quarter of its projected supply for the rest of the world, big pharma profits must not be prioritized over the health of billions. now the european commission has been clear and member states can decide what to do with their vaccine doses,
4:08 pm
and that includes the option of to meeting them to lower and middle income countries. the u. is unlikely to help a lot because it is in deep trouble itself. and many poor countries are not going to be able to be all the supply expensive coaching infrastructure and storage on time to deliver the missing. this vaccine needs to be stored at minus 70 degree celsius, requiring a special freezer of the type that isn't widely available even in europe and america. meaning countries will have to build deep freeze storage and transportation networks from scratch to keep the vaccine from becoming useless. its production is costly, its component is unstable. it also requires called chain transportation and has a short shelf life. the requirement for extremely cold temperatures is likely to cause spoilage a lot of vaccine. the price tag in building these and the difficulties in
4:09 pm
administrating the required 2 shots within a month, may be too much of a burden for nations, leaving them essentially frozen out. some engineers have called on following on tech, to clarify how the vaccine will be made accessible outside high income countries. and they want the firms to make that vaccine technology available via a w h o scheme. so billions of doses can be produced as quickly. and this cheaply as possible. now that's unlikely because when the scheme was launched, pfizer made its feelings clear, i think is nonsense. and at this point of time, it's also dangerous. there's a giant effort right now happening to find solutions. the risks we're taking represent billions of dollars and the chances of developing something is still not very good. and adding insult to injury the day. the vaccine was announced, the c.e.o. of fine, so many $5600000.00 worth of company stock. now pfizer says that this was
4:10 pm
a scheduled transaction once the stock hit a certain value, but for many this was a cold shower. of a reminder, the big pharma is also big money. so a vaccine for coated 19 may be closer, which of course is good news. well, for those who can at least afford it, i say centralized profit seeking the period. we market in some because the last country to be called that really determines when the pandemic it's going to be one who pay for it getting worse. i mean, we complain much, but the point is really if it is eventually optimal for them to leave all these poor countries untreated because we could eventually travel back to the bric countries at the same time. profit incentive shouldn't be in the mind. the world's
4:11 pm
greatest invention and treatment by a lot by products. well, one of the biggest global changes brought about by the pandemic going to move affected you is that my shift to working from home. millions of people worldwide are staying away from the office. and research is a german, his biggest banker saying that was people should be taxed for the privilege. working from home will be part of the new normal when after the pandemic has passed, we argue that remote workers should pay a tax for the privilege our calculations suggest the amounts raised could fund material income subsidies for low income earners who are unable to work remotely and this is old economy and health risks team is suggesting an additional 5 percent levy for remote stuff. they argue that it's roughly equivalent to what people save on transport, food,
4:12 pm
adding the money could be distributed to those who cannot work online, many of whom are blue collar workers on lower incomes. not the researchers estimate that such a scheme would raise quite a bit of money around $48000000000.00 in the us in tax revenue $9000000000.00 in the u.k. on here 19000000000 in germany. no. most surveys this year have shown pretty positive on the choose to home base work. let's back it up. a poll in the us find that only 12 percent words prefer to work solely from the office, a hefty 72 percent of so-called knowledge. workers want a combination of remote and office judi's. earlier i spoke with journalist charlie boylan geo political analyst reiner rough 1st, they give their views on the idea of a new work from home tax. they said the best way to invent new taxes all over. if you want more, trust is social justice. why haven't we tried to lift the wage of nurses before?
4:13 pm
so i think it's not really fair to talk about an extra tax. well, i don't think the government is so much through all this year, but actually ternium, i'm just speaking specifically about kerry because by stross that doing it's a major cost for people is really nice and that is getting to work. and that is internet fights to get something every year. and a lot of cases that automatically remove the you know, significant costs associated with, with getting to an office job, i think is needs to be proven 1st. the people who are working from home at the long run will save money, but you need a fully equipped, equipped office. you need hardware, you need more space, which you need to rent or to buy as a white collar worker as well. i think we have to have
4:14 pm
a wider conversation about working from long hard work to quite large fiancee's this year. ryan miller looks through waves 1st and 2nd march and very recently, and they make it clear that they don't want their workers welcome home and workers tend to want to go back. if people stay at home work from home, the turnover is reduced. for many other businesses and this hurts the overall economy, but there is a long term conversation about you know, what we do about compensating people. businesses that don't have any brands in many big cities and also it's a, it's a double swing, but this is not going to be resolved in the next couple months because the super slow downs over everyone's getting crunched, going back to what you know best and give a man's have really increase to their deaths quite considerably. so if this tax, if this extra tax for people who can't work for from home is supposed to be
4:15 pm
something like a compensation for these losses and for these deaths, i think it's a totally misconceived strategy. but i think like i'm holding my visa ground here in principle, it's one for the long term. i think in the short term, there's no time to even implement there's, even if it was political will. and i say yes organ but secure the 1st 3 months of next year. once it actually gets rolled out. and we'll have a conversation for 3 and a couple years tom, i mean, this would just be a revenue for the state, but what we need is to foster economic growth and activity. and this can never be done through a tax. so i think the state in general should be rather limited to its basic functions. meanwhile, a new medical study has found that catching cold at 19 can result in mental disorders. we'll bring you the details up later in the program.
4:16 pm
what does the election results to date? child was about the state of american politics, there was no blue wave. instead, it was a red ripple instead of calls for reconciliation. there are those looking to punish trump supporters. one step forward 2 steps. is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed? what will make you feel safe? isolation community? are you going the right way or are you being so direct? what is true?
4:17 pm
what is in the world corrupted. you need to descend to join us in the depths. already made in the shallowness. 17 minutes past the hour. welcome back. russia has accused germany of stalling the investigation into the alexina felony case. the 2 countries have been locked in a stalemate for months with moscow, demanding lob data. to back up berlin's claim about the opposition activists was poisoned with a nerve agent. russia's foreign ministry says it's only getting excuses from germany. they didn't really doesn't want to hand over materials on the only case to
4:18 pm
russia, and i was clinging on to any excuses. i would like to reiterate that we do not expect the bearer of the bad news, namely us to be criticized. it would be better to deal with the news itself. we, have informed the c.w., an organization that the russian side can approach to ask further questions. let's give you a recap again. of what happened alexina. volley 1st fell sick on an internal flight in russia. back in august, the plane made an emergency landing in the city of square. he was taken to hospital and put into and joost coma, the opposition activist was then are lifted to germany for treatment. then a felony case on much more was discussed in r.t. interview with the kremlin spokesperson dmitri peskov, be exclusive, will be airing in full throughout the day or night here. some of it we are interested in the investigation of all the circumstances of what happened.
4:19 pm
if we want to know the truth, so we said, please help us if you have information that we do not have, please share it with us. but no one wanted to cooperate. sometimes it seems that the patient does not want that truth to be out himself. and i regret doing it, but sometimes it seems the patient is not that sick when there are a lot of questions about his illness too. and if he is ill, we need to know how bad and whether his disease can fade and come back. well, you have to agree that there are more questions than answers. germany claims a military lab following traces of a novacek type nerve agent in the valley system after he was transferred to the country for treatment, a conclusion that was later backed up by the global chemical weapons watchdog, the o.p.c. w.
4:20 pm
. however, moscow insists that novelli was tested for multiple toxins, including nerve agents while he was here still in russia. all of the results came back negative. russia has repeatedly asked the o.p.c. w. to pass on whatever evidence it hurts those requests have been denied. leading russia's un envoy to question the organization's neutrality. i will be blunt, the o.p.c. w.'s technical secretary. it is increasingly turning into a tool in the west. ham's which is being used to exert informational and political pressure on countries that fail to toe the line. this conclusion is backed up by the watch dogs involvement in anti russian campaigns earlier with the screen case. and now with the alleged poisoning of alexina valmy. earlier we spoke with alexander sugar and russia's permanent representative to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons. it was an interesting chat. now he explained the months long effort to get answers from the organization and also from germany.
4:21 pm
russia has contacted the director general of the o.p.c. w.'s technical secretary offering to arrange for an expert mission to russia, so they can find out along with their russian colleagues what happens in the valley . we've asked the technical secretary about the cooperation between it and germany, and we were told to direct our questions to berlin, citing confidentiality policies under which the c.w. is not allowed to disclose anything without germany's consent. so heeding the technical secretary, it's advice. we approached berlin and sent a request there, but we still haven't received a reply. our german colleagues are trying to wriggle out of their obligations under the chemical weapons convention, which requires them to consult us and give us legal assistance as a member state when any questions arise regarding the convention. to be honest, we've got an unseemly situation on our hands. our german partners is saying that this whole story is no longer a bilateral issue, but rather an international one which should be considered by the way. but at the
4:22 pm
same time, the technical secretariat directs us back to the german side for any questions. so we find ourselves trapped in a vicious circle. a new study has pointed to an unexpected consequence of covert 19. it phone, that infection can trigger mental disorders. the research was conducted by a team at oxford university in the u.k. bay found that one in 5 covert patients go on to receive a psychiatric diagnosis. within 3 months of testing, positive tens of thousands of people were assessed. now the most common condition to relate to feelings of worry or fear, in some cases causing severe depression. specifically, the team followed a heightened risk of post-traumatic stress disorder, panic attacks and insomnia. we spoke to a co-author of the study. the short answer is that we don't know yet,
4:23 pm
and we have to do more research to find out, you know, we can start to speculate about what might be the reasons and i think there might be 2 main reasons. one is psychological. the other one is biological, the psychological one is quite intuitive. it is, you know, people suffer with the 19 which is quite scary in itself and the fear of having a potentially life limiting in this might cause things like anxiety and depression . and then there's also a possible biological explanation, which is that it is possible that sounds good to say the very virus that causes 19 my get into the brain. we know that some viruses do. we don't know yet as far as i know where the sask of 2 does, but it's possible that it does. and in that way, it might, it might be affecting the brain and damaging the brain if you will, within the biological explanation is also an inflammatory explanation. so we know that too, as a virus, causes an information throughout the body that can be,
4:24 pm
can expand well beyond the lungs. and it may be that, that inflammatory response also involves the brain. and if that's the case, that in my view that the inflammation to the immune response of the body mount against the infection might be the cause of the cyclic events. given that there's going to be more people suffering with mental illness as a result of team. we need to make sure that there is service is provided for those people in therapy provided for the people. we know the things that he depression, for instance, for example, is our treatable diseases. most people that we receive treatment for anxiety, depression do get better and very important that those treatments are available to all that need them. during the pandemic kerry just to a developing story now coming out of the canadian city of montreal, where a major police operation is underway. local media reports claim dozens of hostages, have been taken at the offices of the video gaming giant ubi soft,
4:25 pm
best known as the firm. behind the game, assassin's creed police have evacuated the building and told people to stay away from the area. few other details to that have been given images on social media. we've seen the show people on the roof of the building and ambulances in the area. we are, of course, keeping cross the story. any significant updates on this, we will bring it to you were programmed to get their start here in moments on r.t. . find out what is an offer wherever you're chiming in from today. in moments goodbye from the i was always on the bull, but at least i show big city bright lights. you jump,
4:26 pm
but you know, jeans and many dangers. blatantly to it's also a city where up 230-0000 crimes are committed every go for the last little bit more than your most. it's still to the reserve least one police officer, 200 residents in russia's capital lost on the english. but they have a right to me that i will not go up voice in your neighborhood for muslims to mostly injure me, babies or my saying entrenched babysits is so that was the rhythmic pattern of your versus mine. so you know,
4:27 pm
so where did they get it? turns out she looked into it 1st, what was happening was that the babies could actually hear their mothers speech in the room. you know, those little sleep will wear sleeves posts to w. clubbable. it was you who i'm sure i'm hoping i can avoid it. it doesn't actually matter, that's the point of the by do you think that when you discuss all of this the just about i was told him again, we was in the thick of this with the we've seen it all seen him as he has. but i is a must see here, some of it in your speech come off and he is the of the 20th century was doing era of revolution. the great depression and world wars, the 21st is the century of mental illness. those aren't my words. that's what
4:28 pm
therapists and psychiatrists tell us. the only question is, should we accept it as a fact? or no. a new gold rush is underway and gunna, thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields, hoping to strike it rich. as they were, children are torn between gold was very poor. i thought that i was doing my best to get back to school. which side will have the strongest appeal
4:29 pm
hello and welcome across the uk where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . what does the election results today? tell us about the state of american politics. there was no blue wave. instead, there was a red ripple instead of calls for reconciliation. there are those looking to punish trump supporters. one step forward 2 steps back. there is gus. these issues and more, i'm joined by my guest in syracuse. we have how he is a former candidate for the green party nomination for u.s. president and in atlanta, he crosses around she is a us independent presidential candidate. all right, cross up rules in effect, that means you can jump in anytime you want, and i always appreciate. ok, so why don't we go to you 1st here? where do we stand right now?, a little more than a week outside of the election. we have the g.o.p.,
4:30 pm
a lot of the most conservatives refusing to recognize a job. i mean, as president elect with some cretin states, there hasn't been any gold certification yet. and i'm top of that. there are more and more calls of fraud and 70 percent according to a number of polls saying republicans, they don't believe the outcome of the election. so we're in a pretty bad place right now. if we can, in the least have a bipartisan deal wanting to know exactly what happened in this election because we don't at this point, go ahead. i think what's happening is we do have a very awkward situation. the whole, think with the pandemic, a lot of people were afraid to go vote in person and what not, in terms of the mail in ballots. there was a large amount of them. there is currently evidence that is being shown that there you know, a lot of tampering with mail and ballots. that's something that i would have.
