commemorating the fall of the armenian capital pays its final respects to those who died in the war. that follows days of protests over the signing of the cease fire deal, which are many and see capitulation. peacekeepers, set up observation posts along the border tours of the peace deal between armenia and azerbaijan. local officials say their arrival in the war torn region demonstrations in the u.s. and gathered pace since a poor president. these are live pictures currently from the count that all

people rally against the results of the 2020 presidential election earlier even joined in himself. we have more coming up the deception advisers have branded this election. they are still working under the assumption of a 2nd term as the full out from the thirds vote until you're tuning in from across the globe this hour. welcome to moscow and to our, to international my names. you know, neal good to have your company crowds gathered for a come to live vigil in the armenian capital. this saturday people marched in memory of those who lost their lives in the conflict with in the disputed region of

nagorno-karabakh. the mood really today does mark a change because over the last number of days, protests against the cease fire deal between the 2 warring nations had growing increasingly tense reporting from your of and here's our senior correspondent, right. because they've, this is being a, somebody to sad day in one of them in a day where thousands and thousands of people here in the capital of year about came out to, to pay their respects to those who died of the course of this 6 week conflict. didn't hear any political soup in school talking for political influence. today was a day when people came out to light capitals to pay their respects to all those who died. bear in mind that, i mean, is it a new nation of 3 or so 1000000 people a 1000 dead to ease a huge tragedy. thousands, thousands dead is an enormous catastrophe. i'm not sure if tonia really needs it,

but i'm not bulk or you have to be examined. it needs it. i'm going to do meeting with it to be to meet him at the when i was a question of the night, you know, and i tell our emotions the booth mixed in with up here in the capital. people obsess over the shias scale of the casualties. the sheer scale of how much territory was lost. this being had to do with who is it about puts things even the good they could have. back in the breakaway republic, a somewhat calmer today, the russian peacekeeping force deployed there. said it didn't register a single shot of the course of the entire day. the peacekeeping operation is in full swing. we saw will huge convoys. today, footage of huge convoys of military vehicles, of ahmed personnel, carriers of fuel trucks, supply trucks as well as supposed vehicles, communications equipment, being delivered through the rugged,

mountainous terrain. that is the goodly kind of box to panic at the capital. where from where the peacekeeping operation is being run out of this one as well. the observation post monitoring stations across the periphery of the frontlines in the rudely cut above the head of the peacekeeping portion. self-assured, who says optimism was saying that the cause of the state they hadn't registered a single shot, said 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 tax arms around the territory. we no longer his shots being fired, and the situation is gradually stabilizing. since the onset of the conflict, there had been incredible diplomatic pressure on both sides to deescalate repeated ceasefire attempts by russia by the united states. and nothing seemed to hold until the 10th of november when president vladimir putin,

himself mediated the latest ceasefire. one that has held one of the side, but both the president of us had much on to the prime minister of armenia. what everyone was happy about the terms of that ceasefire. many people are upset about the territories. that is it. but john sees the territories that it to be handed over to is it about how many, many people here, especially in armenia, protesters gathered here, state offices, attempted to besieged government offices, demanded the resignation of the prime minister, who himself said that there was little tentative, the military face total collapse and that there was catastrophe on the horizon. you know that the danger hasn't pos, they could still be flare ups plus this huge crisis uncertainty with thousands upon thousands, tens of thousands of refugees who've been displaced from their homes and villages who is still who to towns and businesses have been destroyed. many of them choose

to when one fleeing the cross suit, one fleeing from, from their home, shields to burn them, rather than see them end up in the hands of is it about drugs in, is it about john? the mood is somewhat different. people are happy they're satisfied the outcome of the war venue. people say that what has happened is historic justice has got us in southeast asia. a lot of the south as i said, the ceasefire is schooled in for that out. there is cautious optimism that it will continue to take hold and that the conflict, the hot phase of the conflict is now over the nevertheless

a lot of uncertainty. this a lot of books still to do. we saw again optimistic signs yesterday when the there was an exchange of remains of killed the soldiers dead soldiers between as you know, by john and with russia mediating nevertheless, still plenty of difficulties ahead. let's bring you to the u.s. where the 2020 presidential election is still officially on decided cunt on recounting continues in a number of states more than 10 days after the vote on the trumpet. ministration remains out of meant that the president will secure a 2nd term my own view, looking at this election now we, 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 media outlets were quick to call the election for joe biden. however,

don't trump has yet to concede, claiming the election was fraudulent. just launched legal challenges in several states and demanded recounts, is already underway in georgia. a lot of people, i agree, felt that media called the result early for the democrats. this is what's happening right now. in washington, d. c. donald trump, supporters protesting outside the supreme court's. people are carrying american flags, republican flags, as well, with slogans including trumpets 2020, country. a lot of speeches going on us well throughout the day as you can hear, there president trump, who earlier in the day greeted the crowd with a drive through in his motorcade said the rally was heart warming, but it doesn't prove groups of plan rallies right across the country at level 10 different ways. some of them call 1000000. mark, stop this on march. oh,

look at me. i've been around well state officials and independent observers have said there is no indication of wrongdoing in the election in a letter to the trump administration. election officials call the 2025 the most secure in american history. but a recent poll suggests widespread public concern about mail in voting, the potential for wrongdoing. i discuss the issue with a number of guests. 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 presidents, 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 the united states to create this, this loss. that obviously is attributed now to donald trump in some state dept president obama is lecturing the american people on concession when hillary clinton and the democrats in congress never conceded to present trump, they never stop to get 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 when republicans supporting trump's fraud allegations are putting democracy on a dangerous path. that is, according to former u.s. president barack obama. however, the current leaders allegations of wrongdoing are far from the 1st leveled at an american election. 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 there chris, every vote counts, but when someone gets enough votes to win, the loser, concedes that is what happens in this country. destroyed 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 as, or it's just republicans who monkeyed around with elections in the past. sometimes democrats have to, and here's jerry nadler,

another democrat on 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. it 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 ford 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 on his slate of late of the candidates. i'm and some people, every irish 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 scandal at the time, but an admission 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 would work 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 tongue 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 control was the spawning decades. it's the total dismissal and reluctance to even investigate the allegations that will continue to polarize voters for years to come. hawkins, well, with many expecting to see joe biden in the oval office come january, we've been assessing his history as regards foreign policy. the latest edition of our tease going underground show spoke with a former special adviser to barack obama under biden served as vice president. 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 after abuse 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 previous 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. still ahead, fishermen in france or awarding jobs will go and marine life will be done, but beyond repair to build a new wind farm in the country's westernmost region. go ahead, we break the story for you. it will be join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the

world of politics. sports business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. hello

again. after a big spike in crime, the u.s. city of minneapolis has approved a cash injection for its police department. the force will get an extra half a $1000000.00, the majority of which will be used to recruit more officers. however many are recalling an earlier pledge by the city council there to dismantle the police force in the wake of the death of a black man following an altercation with local officers. the death all of george floyd sparked months of nationwide protests

promise signed in minneapolis have almost doubled since last year with 73 killings reported so far in 2020 compared to 39 last year. shootings have all to reach the decade. high, 500 people have been shelved there. this year on violent crime is also up with there were 4 and a half 1000 incidents for police making matters worse is a stuffing shortage with around $100.00 officers leaving the local police force since the storm. 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 starting that having the funds to to launch a citywide joining force me team initiatives. we can try to try to stop the

bleeding here in our city. betsy smith spokesperson for the u.s. national police association told us the funding law enforcement simply leave citizens on protected crime, started to skyrocket and 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 code 19 in the city of minneapolis. yes, people are getting sick from code 19. most people in the united states recover quickly for from code 19. you don't work cover 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. the fishing industry is opposing plans to build an offshore wind farm in western fronts, saying it will damage their life as well as sea life or for the french president days pushing forward with the idea, you know, as part of his drive towards renewable energy sources, short do been scares me looking further into the story. 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 and tights here make the coast around the area which is near sawn

creek perfect for an offshore wind farm. $62.00 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 the cannot be wind farm. that is a certainty committee president. he says he would rather die standing and fight this project than let it happen. the fisherman cannot be developed. the wind farm is important. politically french president not growing, has attempted to patrol himself as being an environmental champion. now he hopes that wind power could generate almost a 5th 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 one long

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 you 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 it supplants it's the isle of jersey, where fishing is also an important economy. it's no exaggeration to say that jersey fishermen, i'm 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 a french fishermen have been pushed all that water is because of the wind farm

who and those vessels which are now turning up and increasing if it to it in jersey's waters to an extent that our fishermen can no longer access huge areas of our own sea of air and waters so that it is causing just on a set of levels of hardship such as a fisherman. it's got it's creating conflict between jersey fishermen and french fisherman. and it certainly creating unsustainable board has created unsustainable levels of fishing, if it, in that water, that's 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 france and moving toward 3 nubile energy sources. but locals, hey, are determined to do everything they can to scupper that shell of david ski party.

brittany. well, that is how they close the headline. stories are looking this saturday night from moscow. i'll be back in just over 30 with all your latest updates. for now though, i'll leave you with some images from washington d.c. live footage from there. where supporters of donald trump are protesting outside the supreme court. thousands of people in the capital labeled a 1000000 my get march with many similar taking part across the, country a lot more not try the evening here on r.t., international so hard.

during the vietnam war, u.s. forces neighboring laos. it was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know how much it is a country per capita. millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this small agricultural country. even today, kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago. is the u.s. making amends for the tragedy and help to the people need in that little land of mine 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 votes to count,

but the margin is 80000 votes. as a 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 counting, they still don't know who won. and joe biden won a majority of the electoral college votes. yes, there was will. soup will push sleeves for all sorts of sure. but the true chill touches into the body of flammable was if you were trying to keep it just doesn't capture the message that would have been measured by did you know that when

you ask all of those who do use it? well, because those stories could be a game, we will see a lot of the it was with seemingly more senior. what was new is what i do is the most is you get some of what is in your speech, come along and use the united states. this is a record breaking self harmers from the us. she has half a 1000000 scars on south inflicted since she was 13 as hundreds of thousands of subscribers in the united kingdom. 15 percent of 14 year olds just couldn't cope and learned 1st hand. what self really means in germany, photographer gordon. elevate self to the level of art. the 20th century was the era of revolution. the great depression and world was the 21st is the century of mental illness. those aren't my words, that's what circus some psychiatry's tell us. the only question is,

should we accept it as a fact? yes or no? opposite. let's face mother though in the last when he was 3. we haven't lived together since then, but we have stayed in touch. still get a number in my throat. that's how he looked, then this is him now. various 23 hindus for sure. he would missions as a sort of 2.0 interest to me to this is going to shoot you in the computer. a goodish goshes truth has been a couple full years ago. he moved in with me and only then did his condition become clear to his doctors. when much they heard that i was making a film about self. he wanted to be in it, put on those harry potter glasses, but without lenses just with his into.
