come emirate in the fall in armenia, pays tribute to those killed in the conflict with azerbaijan. it follows days of protests over the signing of the nagorno-karabakh ceasefire deal, which many armenians of hope. russian peacekeepers get to work along the car about the border as part of the new truce agreement. local officials say they're helping to calm the war torn region also thousands of pro trump. protesters turn out in washington d.c. in a rally against the 2020 presidential election with the president himself even making a brief appearance. and the fallout from the recent election continues with no sign of a concession from trump. his advisors say they're still working under the assumption

of a 2nd term coming to you live from our world news headquarters in moscow, russia. this is our international. my name's donald quarter. welcome to the program . now crowds have been gathering throughout saturday for a candlelit vigil in the armenian capital of europe on people have been paying tribute to those killed in the conflict with john in the disputed region of new girl in a car. bach, saturday's events did mark a change in mood during the week protests in the city against the ceasefire. deal between the 2 warring nations had been simmering with anger. tensions between azerbaijan and armenia over the disputed region came to a head in late september with fighting raging for 7 weeks. conflict itself stretches back more than 3 decades, and although the region is mainly populated by ethnic armenians,

it's still legally part of azerbaijan. artie's morag, i have reports from europe. this is being a somber and a sad day in all of a 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 is an enormous catastrophe. on monday, like evening, let's go through a buggy. i think we do, and we see this with the to be meeting with the when i was a question and i

challenge the notion a thorny really need to borrow the known bug or give me example. it needs it emotions a booth mixed in volatile here in the capital, people upset over the shias scale of the casualties. the shia scale of how much territory was lost is being handed over 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, mountainous terrain that is going to cut up to stepanek at the capital from where

from where the peacekeeping operation is being run out of it, as well as all the other monitoring stations across the periphery of the frontlines of the godly cut above the head of the peacekeeping, force himself, with so cautious optimism by saying that over the course of this day, they hadn't registered a single shot, 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. 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 cease fire, one that is 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 when many people here, especially in armenia, protesters gathered near state offices, attempted to besieged. 3 government offices demanded the resignation of the prime minister, who himself said that there was no will turn it in 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 10 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 azita by johnny'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 i took some of the visions of solution surely some of the. 6 as i say, the cease fire 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 this, a lot of books still to do, we saw again optimistic signs yesterday when the was an exchange of the remains

of killed the soldiers dead soldiers between as you know, by john and with russia mediating, nevertheless, still plenty of difficulties ahead turn out to the u.s. with a 2020 presidential election is still officially undecided. counting and recounting continues in a number of states more than 10 days after the vote. and despite the democrats standing their ground on joe biden's proclaim victory, the trumpet. ministration is gearing up for a 2nd term. we have what appears in some sense to be an immaculate deception. we're moving forward here at the white house news. i'm sure 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 team have launched legal challenges in several states and demanded recounts, one of which is already underway in georgia,

florida. you see, you know, tens of thousands of his supporters turned out in washington d.c. on saturday to protest the election result. president trump, who earlier in the day greeted the crowd with a drive through in his motorcade said the rally was heartwarming. counter protesters tried to confront the rallies with police, keeping them apart. rallies are also taking place in cities across the country, jointly labeled the 1000000 magen march and stop the steele. state officials, an independent observers, are saying there is no indication of wrongdoing election officials even called the 2020 vote the most secure in u.s. history. but a recent poll suggests widespread public concern about mail in voting. we heard from a number of experts on 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, the, 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 and conspired against the president of the united states to create this, this loss that are obviously is attributed now to got a truck 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 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, a zimmer, 14 is a day when the 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 are impacting the transfer of power. that is constitutionally mandated by january from fraud allegations are putting democracy on a dangerous path. that's according to the former president barack obama, over the claims of wrongdoing are far from the 1st leveled at a u.s. election. as daniel hawking's 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 here 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 and his campaign team remain just

that allegations until proven otherwise. in courts of law, but such controversies are nothing new. all school 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 his jerry, not another democrats 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 move your head spin, wasn't alone the 2004 election saw concerns raised about multiple aspects of the voting process on key swing state, 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 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 go hsieh to hand 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 scandal at the time, but an admission. it took years to james and did not win that election. it was student 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 antagonizing 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 vote, a 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. with many expecting to see joe biden, in the oval office by january, artie's,

going underground has been looking at his foreign policy history. a former special advisor to a barack obama has been speaking to the program. 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 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 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. still ahead, fishermen in france are warning jobs will go ahead marine life will be damaged beyond repair if plans for a new offshore wind farm. get the go ahead with this story coming your way after the break

is you'll be via reflection of reality. in a world transformed what will make you feel safe, isolation or community? are you going the right way or are you being led? so direct. what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics. sports business, i'm show business. i'll see you then welcome

back to the program. now, 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 calling an earlier pledge by the city council to define the police in wake of george floyd's killing his death at the hands of police sparked months of nationwide protests.

homicides in minneapolis have almost doubled since last year with 73 killings reported so far in 2020. shootings have also reached a decade high with 500 people shot this year and violent crime is also up with more than 4 and a half 1000 incidents reported making matters worse is a staff 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 sort of being 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. spokesperson for the u.s. national police association. betsy bratton or smith believes to funding the police just leaves the public at risk. 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, i actually heard 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 from, from code 19. 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. now in other news plans for a huge wind farm off the coast of france threatens marine life and the fishing industry that's according to local fishermen. however, the country's president is moving ahead as part of his green energy push. charlotta been 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 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 say there cannot be a wind farm. that is a certainty, like our committers resident. he says he would rather die standing and find 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 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 been long to put when you install a wind farm in a protected zone. the environmental damage is close, so it will destroy the reach sea life and small scale fishing will disappear. the government has tried to offer compensation, but it can 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 he says, that's because french fishermen have been pushed off their own waters because of the wind farm. those missiles, which are now turning up and increasing if it too, it injures these waters to an extent that now fisherman can no longer access huge areas of their own sea of air and waters. so that it is causing just on the set of

the lives of ships, which is a fisherman it's, it's creating conflict between the fishermen and french fisherman and certainly creating sustainable food has created unsustainable levels of fishing. if it in it were 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 planning to front, moving toward 3 new people and it g source says, but locals, hey, are determined to do everything they can to scupper that shell of ski aussie brittany cyclonic has torn through the philippines, largest and most populated island of luzon, a major rescue operation is underway with thousands needing help. cycling is now heading towards vietnam, forcing many people to flee to safety. was also the 21st storm to hit the

philippines this year alone. and the nation is still reeling from the devastation of i phone typhoon goni, which struck just a couple weeks ago. officially the most powerful typhoon to ever make landfall anywhere. in germany, police have used water cannons against demonstrators countering an anti lockdown protest in the city of frankfurt. the country recently reintroduced restrictions in the wake of surging cold infections, but the measures have sparked widespread rallies with more planned throughout the weekend. and these 3 siberian tiger cubs playing with mom represent hope for preserving a species that's edging towards extinction. they're being cared for in into as part of an international mission to save rare animals. once the cubs get their strength up, it's possible they may be returned to their natural habitat in russia's far. for more on your latest news stories, check out our website, r.t. dot com and follow us on twitter on behalf of the international team. thanks for

watching and we hope you have a great day 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 on. so there may still be 10000 votes to count, 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, you know, 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

as well as on the bone, but i'm pleased to show you right. big city bright lights, huge job, but you know, jeans and mini dangerous blatantly to do. it's also a city where up to $300000.00 crimes are committed every year for the last, when they built the new mosque, it's still through the reserve least one police officer, effectively 200 residents in russia's capital cost on the wish. but they never occurred to me that they will not go with the current act or saloon keepers or to most of the people who would have to lost so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. let it be

an arms race. scaring drug to follow to the only really going to exist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical. time to sit down and talk imax keyser. this is the very kinds of reports in no, never discount the power of meaning. yes, max, my favorite mean of all time really i think gets to the heart of all the stuff that is going on. whether it with failure to predict what happened in 2016, both in the u.s. election and breaks. 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 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 mean 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. that's the cat called reality. yeah, i love this me and you know, every time i see the social media, oh, it's drivel. you know, because 1st of all the greatest names of cats, this is probably one of the greatest out names ever in, you know, the faces on there. are these the carin, this, the world, you know, screaming women like i am in the,

there's little kitchen in front of you know, where plate did this with it's, it's a hyper emotional elite and their elite messaging system as matt taibbi has called it, they're at leats messaging system has failed, they are unable to communicate with reality, and this is them shouting at reality and reality is just like continuously asserts itself. so i think that's it's, it's part and parcel of this, you know, the decline of the empire and rise of another power and they don't know how to explain it. they don't know how to obviously admit guilt of their role in, for example, sending all our jobs over to china. they can admit that. but the end at the end of the day, reality wins. and we're going to look at some reality imposing itself. the same sort of me imposing itself on the u.s. dollar. stan druckenmiller and bill miller.
