well, the women on death row russian peacekeepers, set up observation posts on the go and pasting. it was signed between armenia and there's a vision. local officials say the russian team have established in the war torn region also to come immaculate deception. donald trump's advisors have branded the us presidential election, adding that they are working under the assumption of a 2nd term. we look at the history of fraud in american ballots. meanwhile, it biden does get to the white house. what will these foreign policy look like? we get the thoughts of a former special adviser to barack obama. right now, i think we do see the country going through

a searching debate and being time to simply working from home, german economists push the idea as millions teach the office and go remote. during the pandemic get even just gone 5 o'clock in moscow. you with r.t. international. now russian peacekeepers have established observation posts in the going to cut it back as part of a new truce between armenia and there's a big military police units will ensure the safety of the disputed region. civilian population patrol the recently active front line, local officials say that the russian mission has brought calm and that their presence will continue to guarantee pace reporting now from the armenian capital has more gas, the being very calm throughout the day and very busy as well. the latest footage

showing golden voice of russian peacekeepers of armored personnel carriers of fuel trucks of communications, gear supply vehicles all snaking their way across the rugged and mountainous terrain. that is the breakaway republic of thousands and thousands of peacekeepers . an enormous operation to make sure that the headquarters in the capital step i'd like yet to set up that all these observation and monitoring ceasefire monitoring posts, i set up across the periphery of the go to cut off across the conflict light to make sure that the the deal, the cease fire deal with the side, it can be implemented and monitored as quickly and as efficiently as possible. and this is something that russia has done very quickly. this operation has been somewhat abreast, identity in size, and in scoop. and so far they have been successful, not a single short has been fired today,

according to the head of the russian peacekeeping force. so western europe, but the agreement was signed by the heads of 3 states and it's being implemented in full. most importantly, kinds of operations have ceased, income tanks, arms around the territory, we no longer hear shots being fired and the situation is gradually stabilizing. there have been repeated attempts throughout the course of this 6 week conflict to, to, to implement a cease fire. there's a russian cease fire attempt on then an american one, donald trump, him self promising to end this war. nothing seemed to work enormous diplomatic pressure and booth sides stuck at it, stuck to this, to this conflict. and on the 10th of november, finally with the russian president, himself mediating the president of us, headed by john, the prime minister of armenia. they signed a cease fire deal which so far holding. nevertheless, there are many people who are upset, especially people here and caravan in armenia,

who see it as a capitulation, a surrender, a betrayal by their government of mean ians and pro armenian forces in calabar. nevertheless, the prime minister of armenia insists that what they signed was necessary. this is not victory, but there will be a defeat unless you recognize itself as a loser. we will never recognize all cells of losers. and this should usher in o.e. roof national unification and revival. there is have a lot of the uncertainty, a lot of worry about the future of the thousands and thousands of refugees, especially. 3 purple predominantly armenian to have been forced out of their villages out of their towns out of the their homes, many of which have been destroyed and feel forced to relocated to refugee camps or centers will relatives in armenia. and many of them have few prospects of returning . many of them would have to return to villages and towns that have either been

already seized by said about john or that are going to be handed over to us. he had a budget, indeed, we've seen footage and heard stories of people burning their shops, their places of business there who lives in order for them not to fall into the hands of a set about johnny. so this is something that the russian peacekeeping mission has, has accepted that there is, you know, a lot of concern about the future of these, these immigrants, these refugees, the, as a budget decide however, sees this very differently for them. they've, they say they've liberated territories off to so many decades. there are about giardia and those lands have returned to the houma nation. suffering. no, we should let some of the judging

by the statements from the russian peacekeeping mission that the force, the peacekeeping force has been brought up the almost full strength that they're monitoring this. he's fun, observation posts active that they didn't register a single shot today. you know, it inspires cool cautious optimism. we also saw an exchange of the remains of bodies of soldiers killed, killed throughout this conflict yesterday, both mean and by john exchanging the remains of fallen soldiers. nevertheless, that the situation is still precarious. it is being calm so far, perhaps we can be optimistic, but which way events, how events will unfold, remains to be seen. ok, let's turn to the united states now where the 2020 presidential election is still far from over. counting and recounting continues in

a number of states nearly 2 weeks off. in the vote in the trump ministration remains adamant that the president will secure a 2nd term my own view or looking at this election. we have what appears in some sense to be an immaculate deception. we're moving forward here at the white house. knew your assumption that there will be a 2nd term. well, media outlets have called the election for joe biden. however, donald trump has yet to concede, claiming that the election was fraudulent. his team have launched legal challenges in several states and demanded to recount some one is already underway in georgia, and florida are going

well, state officials and independent observers to have all said that there is no indication so far of wrongdoing in the election in a letter to the trumpet, ministration, u.s. election officials called the 2020 vote the most secure in american history. but a recent poll does suggest widespread public concern about mail in voting and the potential for wrong doing our panel discuss the issue. some bureaucratic agency saying they think it was the most secure election ever. that's fine, but we, the people have a right and a campaign has to get to the bottom of this. and if we get to the bottom of the process, the rule of law, the constitution this, that our founders knew how to set this up. we've had other elections where there either was allegations of fraud or enough questions of fraud that they changed the election. so let's get to the bottom of it. let's see what happens. georgia has a republican governor, a republican cheap elections officer, 2 republican, great senators,

republican lieutenant governor. it's all republicans involved in this vote count. so you're telling me that republicans coronated it was fired against the president of united states to create this, this loss. that obviously is attributed now to going to truck in some state dept president obama is lecturing the american people on concession when hillary clinton and the democrats in congress never conceded the present. trump, they never stop digging into him. but look out, all i'm saying is don't accept the results until we get to the bottom of it. then we should. the question is whether democrats would accept the results. if we get to the point where we find big fraud. bottom line is it doesn't matter who's counting, it doesn't matter what litigation you have by law, by statute you cannot do is beyond december 8th, zimmer, 14 is a day will be electoral college has to be and so those are 2 days i'm looking for. if anyone tries to violate those dates, now you're in a constitutional crisis, and now you're impacting the transfer of power. that is constitutionally mandated by january 1, by republicans supporting traumas, fraud allegations,

or putting to mull christie on a dangerous path. at least that's according to the former u.s. president barack obama. however, these are the 1st allegations of wrongdoing during an american election based on who can see and explains. there's a common theme in the media when it comes to the possibility of irregularities in the u.s. presidential election. it's a ludicrous claim that ludicrous, every vote counts. but when someone gets enough votes to win, the loser, concedes that is what happens in this country. destroyed was unfounded, ludicrous, and baseless allegations made by president trump by his campaign team. remain just that allegations until proven otherwise in courts of law. but such controversies are nothing new. ask former president barack obama. i come from chicago. so are, are. so i want to be honest, it's not, is there, it's just republicans who monkeyed around with elections in the past. sometimes democrats have to and here's jerry nadler,

another democrat in the current chairman of the house judiciary committee. in my experience in new york paper ballots are extremely susceptible to freud. your paper with no machines, i can show you, i can show you experience, which would make your head spin, wasn't alone the 2004 election saw concerns raised about multiple aspects of the voting process on key swing states, ohio saw democrat candidate john kerry question whether the outcome represented the will of the voters, and the d.n.c. chairman agreed. i'm not confident that the election in ohio was fairly decided. we know that there was substantial voter suppression and the machines were not reliable. it should not be a surprise that the republicans are willing to do things that are unethical to manipulate elections. that's what we suspect has happened. and we'd like to safeguard our elections so that democracy can still be counted on to work. former u.s. president jimmy carter co-chair, the federal election reform commission,

which states that in 2005, that mail in voting is fraught with the risk of fraud and coercion. he's since backtracked on that plane, but remains scathing about elections in the united states. the american political system wouldn't measure up to any sort of international standards for several reasons. lack of central election commission capable of issuing uniform rules, lack of equal access to the media for all viable candidates. and the inability to conduct recounts the election process in america has of course, come a long way. in the 19th century voting was controlled by gangs who would broadly bore, coerce voters. it looked something like this. i'm all for it, my boy to form an alliance with you against bill cutting and is slated later this candidates on. and some people, every vote you sent them a nice way in the coming elections. things became less violent and more nuanced in the 20th century. lyndon johnson ended up winning

a primary. he was losing in texas by just 87 votes. all thanks to the last minute appearance of a ballot box full of votes for johnson. this pave the way to his rise in politics and later presidency. it was a scandal at the time, but an admission it took years to emerge. james, and did not win that election. it was students for him. and i know exactly how it was done. the 2000 bush gore election controversy has been cited by some as a comparison to 2020. results in the deciding state will close with the supremes court giving bush the nod. but the result could have been a very different thousands of voters in florida were labeled felons, preventing them from voting. bush's brother also happens to be the state's governor . no major law firm in florida worked for al gore, even democratic, even democratic oriented law firms. because everyone was afraid of the bush family and the governor and losing important state business in this election cycle could

perhaps be summed up best by joe biden. himself, we have put together. i think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of american politics. of course, this was just an ironic slip of the tone biden was really talking about the democrats' voter protection program. for many though, the issue with the presidential election 2020 may not be the result itself or even of trump's claims are all true or not. against the backdrop of election controversies, spiraling decades, it's the total dismissal and reluctance to even investigate the allegations that will continue to polarize voters for years to come. and hawkins there with many expecting to see joe biden in the white house. we have been assessing his foreign policy that latest edition of our he's going underground, spoke with a former special adviser to barack obama. do you think it's

a mistake to see trump is some kind of bolt from the blue. someone who broke in a fundamental way with american traditions because trump's isolationism, his unilateralism, his protectionism, his racism, all of those actually buttes have very strong roots in american history. going back to the founders, going back to the late 17 hundreds. and in some ways, i think trump has demonstrated himself to be a very acute politician, because he's been able to tap in to that different narrative that different version of american, except exceptionalism, america, and the city on the hill that stands aloof from the world. not a country that goes out to change the world. and so right now, i think, as biden prepares to take office, we do see the country going through a searching debate about the nature of its role moving forward. and my own view is

it's time for the country to find the middle ground between where it was in the pre pearl harbor era, which was doing too little and running away from the world where it has been more recently, which is drawing, trying to do too much particularly in the middle east, to find that stable middle ground to step back, but not to step away from it in front. would it jobs will go there in the life with damaged beyond repair plans to build a new wind in britain to get the go ahead but have the details yourself on election night. you may know whether the margin for the winner is so large that it is impossible for the defeated candidate to catch up. so there may still be $10000.00, i would stick out,

but the margin is 80000 votes and it doesn't matter if all 10000 votes went for the defeated candidate, they cannot possibly catch up and that's where we are today. joe biden's margin is so large in all of the states that are being contested, that even though some other states have not finished county, they still don't know who won. and joe biden won a majority of the electoral college votes. joining me everything on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics. this list i'm showbusiness. i'll see if

hello again now after a big spike in crime, the us city of minneapolis has approved a cash injection for its police department. the force will get an extra half a $1000000.00 and this will be used to recruit more officers. however, it follows an earlier pledge by the city council to dismantle the police force in the wake of the killing of a black man at the hands of local offices. the death of george floyd sparked months of nationwide protests.

while homicides in minneapolis have doubled since last year with nearly 75 killings reported in 2020, shootings have also reached a decade high with 500 people shot the share of violent crime is also up with over 4 and a half 1000 instance reported and making matters worse is a staffing shortage with around $100.00 officers leaving the force since the start of the year. our resources are hemorrhaging. our city is bleeding at this moment. i'm trying to do all i can to stop that bleeding. and i'm so doing that through having the funds to, to launch a citywide joining force me to even issued if we can try to try to stop the bleeding here in our city smith, a spokesperson for the u.s. national police association says that the funding model in force wind would leave citizens, i'm protected the crime started to skyrocket, violent crime is out of control in certain parts of the city of minneapolis. and so

this, this notion of defunding, the police actually hurt not just the police, but it's actually harming the citizens. what we're also seeing is the more resources you take away from police officers, the less community policing there are and the more police officers get hurt. people are not dying quickly of covert 19 in the city of minneapolis. yes, people are getting sick from cope with 19. most people in the united states recover quickly for i from covert. you don't recover from being murdered in order to keep the citizen safe. they're going to have to learn how to live with police officers. the minneapolis police department is one of the most progressive police departments in the united states. and i, one of the biggest changes to our lives during the pandemic has been the move to

work from home. the research isn't germany's biggest bank, and i believe that those people should be taxed for the privilege. working from home will be part of the new normal when off to the pen demick his post. 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 you more old economy and health risks. i thought your bank to you, mr. jesting, an additional 5 percent levy for remote staff and they argue that that's roughly equivalent to what people save on food and transport. adding that the money could then be given to those who can't work online, many of whom are blue collar workers on wages. and it's thought that such a scheme could raise something like $48000000000.00 in tax revenue in the united states $9000000000.00 in the united kingdom. and then 19000000000 in germany this year have shown positive attitudes towards working from home. and

a poll in the united states found a hefty 72 percent of so-called knowledge. workers want a combination of working remotely. and in the office while only 12 percent would prefer to be solely office based journalist charlie boyle. and geo political analyst reiner office, gave their views on the new tax. is needs to be proven 1st. the people who are working from home at the long run will save money, because if this is the new normal that is supposed to be, then that would also mean that you need a fully equipped equipped office. you can to work for the next years from your kitchen desk actually tourney. i'm just speaking specifically about the weeks weeks which the narrative quite far from boris johnson, me a month and a half ago telling people to get out to work or the fire pretty much shuts the essence of the message. i think we have to have

a wider conversation about working from home in long term. if people stay at home, work from home, the turnover is reduced. for many other businesses like hotel drawn to me. like all the transportation business loses tat turnover. if people work from home and this hurts, the overall economy makes 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. so that automatically removes the significant costs associated with getting to an office job. the way the governments are in europe at least are handling now the pen demick crisis is in effect suffocating economy. we have a great loss in g.d.p. this year. we'll have it next year. so i think it can never be compensated just by

a simple tax, no time to even implement it in its interest political well. and i say yes, ok. and secure the 1st 3 months of next year. once it actually gets rolled out and we'll have the conversation for free and clear, it's time for the governments should try to open up the economy as soon as possible to allow people to go back to their workplaces as soon as possible that really our economy can pick up speed again and we need that as soon as possible or no tax can really correct current situation, but we are having now now the fishing industry has opposing plans to build an offshore wind farm in western france, claiming it will harm sea life. and also their livelihoods present among that crown though has long been pushing for a new bull. energy shall have been ski reports. fishing is a way of life. pay off the coast of brittany every morning,

fishermen head off to sea in the hope of catching their breath. but they're now not alone. a renewable energy company is also trying to get it hooks into this area's natural resources. the strong winds in tights here make the coast around the area which is near song creek perfect for an offshore wind farm. 62 turbines are planned with the site expected to be operational in the next 3 years, but fishermen are determined to sink the project. our leaders have been clear if they don't get answers to their questions, they say there cannot be a wind farm. that is a certainty, like our committers president. he says he would rather die standing and fight this project than let it happen. the fisherman cannot lead this baby developed. the wind farm is important. politically, french president not growing,

has attempted to portray himself as being an environmental champion. now he hopes that wind power could generate almost a faith of france's electricity by 2028, partly from offshore turbines. yet one campaign group says the construction of the wind farms is an environmental disaster. congress has said they are back on his own to put asia when you install a wind farm in a protected zone. the environmental damage is close. it will destroy the reach sea life and small scale fishing will disappear. the government has tried to offer compensation, but it can't compensate damage to the sea. there is no compensation for loss of sea life. we also have the biggest natural reserve in brittany because we are in the migration corridor for birds, and there is no compensation for the destruction of birds. the wind from project is said to be exacerbating of tensions too, just the other side of where its plans, its the oil of jersey,

where fishing is also an important economy. it's no exaggeration to say that jersey fishermen are not able to access large areas of their own waters because it is simply covered in french, french nets, french gear. he says, that's because french fishermen have been pushed all their own waters because of the wind farm. when those vessels, which are now turning up and increasing, if it too are in jersey's waters to an extent that our system and can no longer access huge areas of our own sea of our own waters. so that it is causing just on the set of all levels of hardship such as a fisherman is caught, it's creating conflict between jersey, fishermen and french fisherman. and certainly, creating china has created unsustainable levels of fishing accident. the company

responsible for the construction of the wind farm says it continues to study the impact it has on the environment and for the french government. this project is one key to fronts moving towards renewable energy sources, but locals here are determined to do everything they can to scupper that shell. that didn't ski brittany might spring with the savings just coming up to half past 5 in moscow. we're back again at the top here. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy on sunday . shouldn't let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic developments. only really i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very critical. time to sit down and talk there's a lot on the ball, but 1st, actually big city bright lights, huge opportunities and many dangers for the globe. and later, it's also a city where not just $300000.00 crimes are committed every year for the last living but the new mosque, it's still to the reserve least one police officer for every $200.00 residents in russia's capital cost on the english. and the people like me that the not going to give up boysen, you know, you can't fit into most of

sure. you said all these big guns are really taking a position against the u.s. dollar. they've got stand standards. you've got also and the dollar is great. value, he's heavy into gold, he thinks dollars is going to be a bad situation going forward. he has not yet jumped into the big point both, but i predict you will very soon. you've got warren buffett. he doesn't like big point body is putting a lot of money worth in japan to get out of the dollar. and you've got polls that are jones, he's having to go heavy into big points. so all of the titanic, you know, movers and shakers, the global financial world arctic showing away from a dollar each.
