must protect its own existence headline stories. the armenian war with the signing of the cease fire deal, which many russian peacekeepers have set up. observation, post border peace agreement. local officials say their arrival in the war also ahead in washington d.c.

against the results of the 2020 presidential election with the president himself even making a fleeting earlier in the day of the election. they are still working assumption of a 2nd term. the fallout from november 3rd vote from international. you don't know me. we'll take you through the weekend's big stories. hello and welcome. it's been gathering throughout the day for a candlelit vigil in the armenian capital europe on people remembering those who lost their lives in the conflict with us or by john in the disputed region of the corner. caught up like this sound of

a. those market change in mood though during the week protests against the ceasefire deal between the 2 warring nations turned violent tensions between the armenia over nagorno-karabakh came to a head in late september heavy fighting, taking place for a further 7 weeks. the current conflict itself stretches back more than 3 decades of though the region is populated mainly by ethnic armenians. it is legally part of azerbaijan. r.t. senior correspondent, murat, give us the of spoke to the program some hours ago from your own. this is being a somber and a sad day in all of our media a day where thousands and thousands of people here in the capital of yerevan came out to, to pay their respects to those who died over the course of this 6 week conflict. we didn't hear any political slogans or jockeying for political influence. today was a day when people came out to light candles to pay their respects for all those who

had died. bear in mind that i mean is only a nation of 3 or so 1000000 people, a 1000 dead ease, a huge tragedy and thousands dead ease. an enormous catastrophe, and i'm not sure he thought he really needs it by yourself. the known bug or you give me exhibit, it needs it. i think we do, and we see this with a to be meeting with the when i was a question. you don't push tonight. you know, it's the nature of the emotions. a booth mixed in volatile here. in the capital, people are upset over the shias scale of the casualties, the shia scale of how much territory was lost. this being had to do that to is it a budget? but things in the go to think about in the breakaway republic, a somewhat calmer today, the russian peacekeeping force deployed there. said it didn't register a single shots over the course of the entire day. the peacekeeping operation is in

full swing. we sure huge convoys today, footage of huge convoys of military vehicles, of ahmed personnel, carriers of fuel trucks, supply trucks as well as support vehicles, communications equipment, being delivered through the rugged and mountainous terrain that is going to cut up to stiffen, to get the capital from where from where the peacekeeping operation is being run out of it, as well as all the observation posts monitoring stations across the periphery of the front lines of the godly cut above the head of the peacekeeping. force himself is so cautious optimism by saying that over the course of this day 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 tanks 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 that was signed by both the president of us here by john and the prime minister of armenia. what everyone was happy about the terms of that cease fire. 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 job many, many people here, especially in armenia, protesters gathered near the state offices, attempted to besieged government offices, demanded the resignation of the prime minister, who himself said that there was no, will turn it into the military face total collapse and that there was catastrophe on the horizon, you know that the danger hasn't passed, they could still be flare ups. plus there's

a huge crisis. uncertainty with thousands upon thousands, tens of thousands of refugees who've been displaced from their homes, whose villages, who is who ted towns and businesses have been destroyed. many of them, jews too. when fleeing the crisis suit, when fleeing from from their homes choose to burn them, rather than see them end up in the hands of a set of by johnnie's. even as it about john, the mood is somewhat different. people are happy they're satisfied with the outcome of the war. many people say that what has happened is historic justice thomas of assurance of solution

as i say the ceasefire is holding for now there is optimism that it will continue to take hold and that the conflict, the hot phase of the conflict is now over the nevertheless. 'd a lot of uncertainty, there's a lot of books still to do. we saw again, optimistic signs yesterday when there was an exchange of the remains of killed soldiers dead soldiers between as you know, by john and with russia mediating nevertheless, still plenty of difficulties ahead. let's turn the program now to the u.s. where the 2020 presidential election is still. ringback officially, on decided counting and recounting continues in a number of states more than 10 days after the vote on the spike, the democrats being adamant there amount to a biden as well on a troubled ministration or so publicly. during up for a 2nd term, my own view 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 that there will be a 2nd term media outlets were quick to call the election for biden. however, donald trump has yet to concede, claiming the election was fraudulent, his hope launched legal challenges in several states amounted recounts is already underway in georgia. meanwhile, supporters of donald trump came out in their thought in washington d.c. on saturday to protest the election result on its side. the supreme court people carried flying to its slogan, stating trump 2020 and my country. president trump, who were great at the crowd with a drive through in his motorcade said the rally most counter protesters there also sought to confront the rallies with police in full riot gear. having to pick between them out certain areas at rallies are taking place across the country, jointly labeled the 1000000 march

state officials, an independent observers have said there is no indication of wrongdoing in the election in a letter. in fact, to the trump administration election officials call the 2025 that they quote most secure in american history. but a recent poll suggests widespread public concern about meall in voting on the potential for wrongdoing. discussed the issue with the 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, she 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 the united states to create this, this loss that obviously is attributed now to going to truck in a southern 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 can not do is beyond december 8th, zimmer, 14 is that they 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 republican supporting donald trump's fraud allegations or putting

democracy in a dangerous path. that's according to former u.s. president barack obama. over the current leaders, allegations of wrongdoing are far from the 1st leveled out on the american election . that's done. hawkins' no reports. 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 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 i want to be honest. it's not as if 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 move your head spin was and followed. 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 were 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 for us president jimmy carter co-chair, the federal election reform commission,

which states that in 2005, that mail in voting is fraught with risk of forward 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 even a form 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. i'm goshi a day 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. there was 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 happened 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 in 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 by 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 controversies spanning decades, it's the total dismissal and reluctance to even investigate the allegations that will continue to polarize voters for years to come. with many expecting to see joe biden in the oval office come january on, going underground has been assessing his history as regards foreign policy. in the latest show, if you live alone, r.t. dot com spoke with a former special adviser to barack obama under whom biden served 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 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 is the city on the hill that stands aloof from the world. not the 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. 17 minutes past the hour still ahead, fishermen in france are warning jobs will go on. marine life will be dealt with beyond repair. if it's to build a new wind farm in the country's westernmost region to go with that story coming your way into areas that all these big guns are really taking a position against the u.s. dollars. they've got to add that drug to give. also, if the dollar is

a great value, heavy thinks dollars is going to be 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, but he is putting a lot of money in japan to get out of the dollar and having to go into big point. so all of the titanic, you know, movers and shakers of the global financial world are going away from the dollar. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory. dramatic. only mostly exist. i don't see how very critical time to sit down and

talk after a big spike in crime, the u.s. city of minneapolis has approved a caution. jackson for its police department. the force will get an extra half a $1000000.00, the majority of which we will use to recruit more officers who are many are recalling an earlier pledge by the city council to dismantle the police force that was in the wake of the death of a black man. following an ultra cation with local officers, the death all, george floyd sparked months of nationwide protests. it was

i'm pretty. i opening figures to homicides in minneapolis of almost double since last year, with 73 only reported so far in 2020. shootings have also reached a decade high with 500 people shot this year. violent crimes on that over 4 and a half hours and incidents reported to making matters worse is a stuffing shortage with around $100.00 officers leaving a local police force and the start here. 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 stopping 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. that's the broader smith spokesperson for the u.s.

. national police association says the funding law enforcement simply leave citizens on protective 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 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 from code 1000. 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. the french fishing industry is opposing plans to build an offshore wind farm in the western brittany region, saying it will damage livelihoods as well. the sea life over the french president is pushing forward with the idea as part of his drive towards renewable energy sources. dubin ski has been looking into the story for the 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 bedroom. 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 cannot be a wind farm. that is a certainty president. he says, who would rather die standing and find 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 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 it supplants it's the isle of jersey, where fishing is also an important economy. it's no exaggeration to say that jersey fishermen are, 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 french fishermen have been pushed all their own waters because of the wind farm. those vessels which are now turning up and

increasing if it to it 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 the fisherman, it's got, it's creating conflict between the fishermen, the trench fisherman, and certainly creating unsustainable board, has created unsustainable levels of fishing expert in the water. the company responsible for the construction of the wind from says it continues to study the impact it has on the environment and for the french government. this project is one plan to front, moving toward 3 nubile energy sources. but locals here are determined to do everything they can to scupper that shell that didn't ski r.t. brittany. meanwhile, in the neighboring country of germany,

police have used water cannon against demonstrators countering an anti locked on protest in the city of frankfurt. the country reintroduced measures to curb a rise in covert 1000 infections with many businesses ordered to close. the renewed restrictions have sparked widespread rallies with more plan for the remainder of the weekend. and this is an early old view of the aftermath of a psych clone, which has ripped through the philippines, largest and most popular this island news. all the rescue operation is ongoing with, well, it's still waiting for it is the 21st storm to hit the philippines. this year alone, the nation is still reeling from the devastation of typhoon goni, which struck just a couple of weeks ago. has officially been named the most powerful typhoon to make landfall anywhere on something a bit more uplifting to get your appalls into today, these 3. siberian tiger cubs playing with mom, represent hope for preserving

which sleeps posts. sure. but do you love a book? was you sure? come hokey border that doesn't actually matter. vegetable would've been by to you got to go with us because all of this to do just about because those stories could mean we was in the movie. confused with the it seems all c.g.i. was he was by his emotions a bit. some of it is the innocence, coming off and used to the 20th century was thing in or of revolution. the great depression and world war, the 21st century of mental illness. those aren't my words. that's what surfaced some psychiatry's to tell us. the only question is should we accept it as a fact? yes or no? i was always on the ball, but i'm pleased to show you a big city bright like you,

joe. but you know jeans and many dangers of late at night. it's also a city where up to $300000.00 crimes are committed every year for the, for the most with me. but with your most. it's still the reserve least one police officer for every 200 residents in russia's capital cost on the list. i didn't talk a little trick that i will not go up boysen, you know, because it was the last

max kaiser, this is the very kind to report it. no, never discount the power of making this max. my favorite me of all time. really, i think, gets to the heart of all the stuff that is going on, whether it was failure to predict what happened in 2016, both in the us election and breaks that. and now in 2020, is that when you create this fantasy world around you of money printing price, propaganda, and political misunderstanding where you never leave your bubble on twitter of all blue checkmarks where you never at leave your manhattan elite circles or d.c. circles, then you don't understand the people and once again, you know, as we saw and as we see this unfolding boat disaster around us. this me mom tells everything you need to now. it's here's the screaming pollsters, the screaming mainstream cable news media yelling at the people that the people got

it wrong, they got it wrong. it's this is reality.
