i was very poor, i thought i was doing my best to see which side will have the strongest appeal. the steps we have taken recently will lead to the establishment of a long term peace for the benefit of those as opposed and the media. in the stories that shaped the week here on r t armenia and azerbaijan signed a peace deal brokered by moscow ending almost 2 months of bloodshed and nagorno-karabakh. it sees russian peacekeepers on the ground in the region. armenians, however, are outraged branding the deal. both a betrayal and a humiliating defeat also ahead

tensions flare in the u.s. . as the election. fallout continues. thousands descend on washington d.c. in a show of support for donald trump, who is still refusing to concede defeat. and trial data suggests russia's corona virus vaccine is highly effective with hungry joining the queue to buy the shot. bring you all of this week's top stories. this is the weekly, on our national. my name's down the corridor. welcome to the program. now after 2 months of bloody fighting calm has returned to the disputed nagorno-karabakh region of armenia and azerbaijan. this week signed a historic peace deal brokered by russia and as part of the truce has sent peacekeepers to the front line. what is happening in karabakh

is a truly great tragedy. i want to note with great satisfaction, the outlines of compromise and the agreements reached on ending the bloodshed. and i hope that all the steps we have taken recently will lead to the establishment of a long term peace for the benefit of both as a pleasure. and armenia are now under the new peace deal. both sides will hold on to their current military positions that leaves armenia in control of the region's capital. step on a curt, while azerbaijan gets the 2nd largest city of shushi, which it took just before the hostilities ended. armenia will also have to hand over 3 further districts to azerbaijan. meanwhile, russian peacekeepers have been deployed to the laci uncross corridor. the only major road link between the region and armenia. the russian contingent includes nearly 2000 personnel and almost 400 vehicles and hardware. this mission will last 5 years with an automatic extension if required, and both your of,

and i and meanwhile, have presented the troops in very different ways to their people. the text of the statement is unspeakably painful for me personally and for people i have made this decision is the result of an in-depth analysis of the military situation. this is not victory, but there will be a defeat unless you recognize itself as a loser. we will never recognize also says losers. and this should usher in a roof national unification and revival for my part, i would like to see that i'm very grand jury. we've sealed the deal to settle a years long conflict between armenia and azerbaijan. compute the occupation of regime land, news of the truce has led to widespread anger in armenia as many see it as a capitulation. oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh yes i

i, i, i, i, i, i you called pushing young betrayed us here, traitor. he's a peak. how he could do this to us. this decision is a step in the back for all armenians. i believe it was just so late, late, late, late, late and again made a speech via facebook and on television. and he made a federalist last because the last few days haven't appeared in public. yeah. i didn't mention today that he feared for his life when you sign a deal,

you know the kind of way of the situation just the man being arrested today. right now behind me. felix, i think, taken over to the right place with the protesters on media following behind this very small amount of i mean on the streets. it's hard to say whether this is the general trend of the majority of the population or whether a very vocal minority. you know, off currently leading the protests, but what will come, he said, is all i mean there and where we are in shock following monday's deal. i mean, the way they're expressing it is slightly different, perhaps with azerbaijan, about to take control of large parts of the region. armenians, there are fleeing their homes, some have even burnt down their properties, so they're not left to the enemy as they see it. but on the other side of the conflict people in baku have greeted the ceasefire as a national victory of

assurance of sleep. the red cross spokesperson immigrant and the former canadian ambassador to armenia both gave their take on the situation over the disputed region. the impact of this coalition for like the think you can across the region devastating and can there life down on that piece talking to people who had to leave their homes. now you search for safety in 0 or 0 point one. we're not cover both mellicent, we talk of new people are in need or who can't make it clear systems and who are maybe peeing on a few fans pandering to support for

a 50 by think if there's nothing wrong with patriotic commotion when they are directed with such hostility toward the other side from both sides. it takes great creativity to counsel people, to, to learn again, to live together. it's going to depend on the extent to which russian leaders change the complete cooperation of the leaders of the 2 countries in 2000 and very well trained, russian troops will be very effective. but what will be most effective will be self discipline. on the part of the 2 sides, and i think that can only be obtained through communication from us to the other side of the globe. thousands of trumped donald trump. supporters descended on washington d.c.

over the weekend in a shell of support for the president who is still refusing to concede defeat in the election. but tensions flared on saturday when counter protesters took to the streets. you know, it already say one person was stabbed and 20 people were arrested. police say they've had to respond to multiple reports of fights between extreme left and right wing groups. some near to the white house from supporters have been spurred by the president's claims of electoral fraud and are demanding recounts. much of the media has been celebrating joe biden's win, but the end of trump's headline making time in the white house could see t.v. ratings departing. with him as to trying to explain things, tears on air over the end of donald trump's presidency. it's been a long time coming. my mom and her grandmother this morning. they didn't have it right. we're going to do. just look at this t.v.

colleague of mine emotions as strong as after the end of a war or winning an olympic gold medal. character matters. it matters, telling the truth matters in a good person matters. and this is a golden tie, probably put on by another journalist when he realized trump was defeated. he said for 4 years, he'd only been wearing black ones. i can probably show you hours of air time recordings proving how frenzied the liberal media are this time around. but just let me ask, has them the past 4 years of what you called. 'd one big white house reality show where they've really trauma and black tie grief for your careers. you saw the presidency is the world's greatest reality t.v. show. he was the executive producer, the chief promoter, and the star of the trump show. if it wasn't for this reality show would ratings

for cable news look so good throughout mr. trump's 1st term, an entire new stand on his dream team can be put together our of reporters, who if you think of it, probably all the president, a big one for a true career, boost the star and a means of trump. on the campaign trail, you called yourself a nationalist. some people saw that as emboldening white nationalist, not such a racist question among in america. it's people like this that cause division. one of the statements that you made in the killing of the campaign, do we go?, honestly, i think you should let me run the country. you run c.n.n., and if you did it well, your ratings. i mean, i'm not going to give you a question. you are fake news. turning the loading of president trump in all shapes and forms into a perfect top story came to the rescue of cable news. amid the rise of online media . what will be left for them to go on about once the maggot man is out?

who's on healthy burgers? and cans of coke, are they going to count? will there be someone else as important to be caught for cheating in golf for splashing the cash on moscow prostitutes? that it will have to be something else than the russia collusion. story to land the pulitzer prizes cry or not cry. stay tuned for the new era. gone is russian collusion? nobody talks about russian collusion anymore or chinese collusion or any kind of no collusion. vote was 100 percent legit. him? when hillary clinton lost, there was russian collusion, but not this time, mainstream media need this more than you can imagine, mainstream media are sitting back to be on the side. silent. the president is going to be citizen, trump, it appears he will be able to inject, is opinion into anything in still maintain, maybe even more of a powerful position because of the unfettered attitude and expurgated on.

he'll be able to see and want. so if they think they're going to forget donald trump, if they think he's going to be just something from the past, he can't be because their very existence, their employment, their revenue, their reason for being there, exists a point, donald trump, he gave them life. he gave them careers, he gave them something, he created the democratic party because they became the anti trump. and without trump, there's nothing counting and recounting is still ongoing, nearly 2 weeks after election day and questions surrounding the role of the electoral college have also heightened concerns about the voting system. let's briefly go through it. the electoral college aims to prevent either congress or the public from having complete influence over the vote within the system,

each of america's 50 states choose electors. their number differs from state to state, with population being a primary factor. now to when the candidate needs a majority of electors, however, critics of the system stressed it's unfair, as it doesn't equate one vote to one person. we put the potential flaws up for debate. we know republicans always win texas, just like democrats always win california. and what i tell voters here to try and get them to vote libertarian, as i say, your vote will have no impact on the outcome of the election. so go ahead and vote for a 3rd party like libertarians if you want. that example demonstrates how the electoral college does make a lot of voters preferences. not very influential. i would love to see a much smaller, less powerful government so that we really didn't care so much who won the election . there's no real identification of fraud in the us voting system. we have

a secure system. what you have is a level of mistrust between both sides of this 2 party system who always believes the other side is cheating, even though i think it's more of an american thing where we don't trust this moment . more like our sport. we believe the other side is deflating the outgoing president. we know that he tends to have more tangent than normal. that has no relation to the electorial college and we are technologically advanced enough to simply count the votes. i think we need to even move beyond the compact and have a system of course in representation, we have a long history in united states of 3rd 4th and 5th parties trying to break into the political system in the stands. because before there's even discussion of the contract, we have this richard 2 party system that is based on who gets a call. so that contact again is a 1st step in the right direction, but it's still not enough how it's a latin america and peru where interim president manual marino has resigned just this sunday. just 6 days after taking office. the announcement comes in response to

protests that have turned deadly since the appointment of the new government. 2 people died in the peruvian capital on saturday after a rally in support of the former president martin biscardi descended into violence . he was ousted just last week over corruption claims, but his supporters call it a coup. antigovernment protests have been staged for a 14th consecutive weekend in the belorussian capital. dozens were reportedly detained on sunday. people also gathered in memory of a fellow opposition supporter who had died this week in the hospital. authorities deny claims that the death was linked to injuries caused by the police and mass rallies started back in august amid accusations that presidential election was

rigged. and protests to win the british city of liverpool. this time over covert lockdown. 25 arrests were made over violations of a ban on mass gatherings. hundreds turned up for the rally on saturday. also the prime, the former prime minister of moldova maya santu, who holds a narrow lead in sunday's presidential election over current incumbent eager dog. and according to the electoral commission, the pro european candidate is ahead with almost 56 percent of the vote compared to the president's 46 percent under lost out to deal don in the last presidential race back in 2015. she's made the national ailing, the nation's ailing finances, a key part of her campaign, and has pledged to seek financial support from the european union. and other news, the makers of russia's covert vaccine revealed this week that the latest trial data suggests it is 92 percent effective. the drug known as sputnik v.

is currently in advanced stage 3 trials. mass production is expected soon with nationwide vaccinations to follow. several countries including india and brazil have already placed orders and hungary has become the 1st european nation to join that list. budapest will run its own trials of the drug in a few weeks time, hungary and foreign minister who spoke to us while recovering from having called cove and told my colleague, neil harvey cooperation is key to overcoming the pandemic. is any time international cooperation based on mutual respect is now and i think the political correctness judging each other during going to be left behind. and instead of the moment that king go out, there are countries on a political basis, we should think about how to cooperate. so sometimes i have the feeling that the

issue of the vaccines is becoming politicized, which i think should be again, we are crossing fingers for all companies and countries which are hoofing for developing the vaccine regardless who they are. so we are interested in india, american named the european union, the russian, the chinese indies for the vaccine development and research to be successful. you know, shooting with everybody including russia. of course. yeah. if this is correct of reports, i'm going to be buying some russian vaccines in december. but like you said, you were looking at all the options. is there any concern though. 'd about the how that will be met to response from other countries, because as we say, these things are often politicized lucca, these should be avoided. so now it's a vote. be light for the people always anytime political aspects should be left behind. as the world waits for a viable covert vaccine finding

a shot isn't the only challenge another is how to make it accessible. while rich countries can afford to stockpile drugs. poor ones often lack the storage equipment needed charla dubinsky reports within hours of pharmaceutical giant pfizer and by own tech announcing there could be $1000.00 vaccine was 90 percent effective that you swooped in and signed on the dotted line. and europe wasn't,, alone. massive deals have also been struck with the u.s. the u.k., egypt, pan, canada, and new zealand, leading some n.g.o.s to question whether this is just a vaccine for rich nations. it's worrying that phase of bio and tech has already struck deals with rich countries. for more than a 1000000000 doses of its vaccine, leaving less than a quarter of its projected supply for the rest of the world, big pharma profits must not be prioritized over the health of billions. now the

european commission has been clear and member states can decide what to do with their vaccine doses, and that includes the option of to meeting them to lower and middle income countries. the u. is unlikely to help a lot because it is in deep trouble itself in many poor countries are not going to be able to be all the supply expensive coaching infrastructure and storage on time to deliver the missing. this vaccine needs to be stored at minus 70 degrees celsius, requiring a special freezer of the type that isn't widely available even in europe and america. meaning countries will have to build deep freeze storage and transportation networks from scratch to keep the vaccine from becoming useless is for the action is costly, its component is unstable. it also requires called chain transportation and has a short shelf life. the requirement for extremely cold temperatures is likely to

cause spoilage a lot of vaccine the price tag in building these and the difficulties in administrating the required 2 shots within a month, may be too much of a burden for my nations, leaving them essentially frozen out. some n.g.o.s have called on follow on tech, to clarify how the vaccine will be made accessible outside high income countries. and they want the firms to make their vaccine technology available via a w h o scheme. so billions of doses can be produced as quickly. and this cheaply as possible. now that's unlikely because when the scheme was launched, pfizer made its feelings clear, i think is nonsense. and at this point of time, it's also dangerous. there's a giant effort right now happening to find solutions. the risks we're taking represent billions of dollars and the chances of developing something is still not very good. and adding insult to injury the day. the vaccine was announced,

the c.e.o. of fine, so many $5600000.00 worth of company stock. now pfizer says that this was a scheduled transaction once the stock hit a certain value, but for many this was a cold shower. of a reminder, the big pharma is also big money. so a vaccine for coated 19 may be closer, which of course is good news. well, for those who can at least afford it, i say centralize profit seeking the theory of home with market in some way. because the last country to be called that really determines when the pandemic is going to the one who pay for it getting worse. i mean, we can't complain much, but the point is really, if it is eventually optimal for them to leave all these poor countries untreated because they could eventually travel back to the brink conference at the same time

. profit incentive shouldn't be in the mind. the world's greatest invention and treatment by a lot by products. also this week a new medical study found catching covert. it can lead to mental health problems. the university of oxford found one in 5 coronavirus patients go on to develop mental health issues within 3 months of testing. positive in alice's was based on 69000000 u.s. medical records, or than 62. thousands of them had kovi it. the majority of disorders linked to the disease are characterized by feelings of warre or fear, in some cases strong enough to make every day life seem unbearable. they include adjustment disorder, post-traumatic, stress disorder, panic attacks, insomnia, and even dementia. we talked to a co-author of the study. the short answer is that we don't know yet, and we have to do more research to find out, you know, we can start to speculate about what might be the reasons. and i think the might be

2 main reasons. one is psychological, the other one is biological. the psychological one is quite intuitive. it is, you know, people suffer with the 19 which is quite scary enough itself and the fear of having a potentially life limiting in this might cause things like anxiety and depression . there's also a possible biological explanation, which is that it is possible that sask of to say the very virus that causes covert 19 my get into the brain. we know that some viruses do. we don't know yet as far as i know where the source of 2 does, but it's possible that it does. and in that way it might, it might be affecting the brain and damaging the brain if you will. within the biological explanation is also an inflammatory explanation. so we know that of 2 as a virus causes an information throughout the body that can be, can expand well beyond the lungs. and it may be that inflammatory response also

involves the brain. and if that's the case, that in my view that the inflammation to the immune response of the body mount against the infection might be the cause of the cycle. given that there's going to be more people suffering with mental illness as a result of 19, we need to make sure that there is services provided for those people in therapy provided for the people. we know the things that he depression, for instance, for example, is our treatable disease. most people that we receive treatment for anxiety, depression do get better and very important that those treatments are available to all that need them. during the pandemic, for more stories that shape the week, make sure to check out our website. our teeth are carmen, follow us on your favorite social media platforms. i'll be back in just about 30 minutes with more c.n.n. luck.

it is easy, probably just last fall as president will be tried over the generals and will by his foreign policy, pick up the neocons again,

be back in control. cloned . welcome to worlds apart from a wreaked and stolen till it's you and triumphant return of dignity and decency testament of the us elections and is just as polarized as america itself. and while joe biden, president, system is more likely at this point, willing to bring the rehabilitation of america at home and abroad, that he supporters so intensely crave well to discuss that i'm now joined by

a loose cold. there are distinguished and junk professor of law at american university and formerly a senior military official in the obama and clinton administrations critical, darian so good to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you for having many world leaders have already congratulated joe biden on winning the elections, even though some states haven't finished counting the votes. and donald trump's count has been exhausted. its all its legal options. i know that you have supported joe biden from the get go. so on the emotional level i'm, i'm sure it feels right, but when it comes to you american law, due process, the american republic,, which requires some semblance of neutrality, g.c., that's actually a sign of respect the elections over in the united states, we have a tradition that when it is clear who's going to win because they have the majority

of votes that are needed for any office and for president, it's the majority of the electoral college votes. even though there are still some technical things that have to do, there are, in some key states have to certify the elections. the certification often doesn't happen for weeks after the election. and yet 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. it doesn't matter if all 10000 votes went for the defeated candidate, they cannot possibly catch up. 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 know who won and job. i'm one majority of the electoral college dropout

appropriate to cicle. there are, there is anderson that there is, you know, history, history to dish and there is an emotional side to this question, but then there is a legal side as well, and you were a legal scholar. that's why i'm asking, what makes joe biden president elect at this point? i mean, can you point me and our viewers around the world primary source material? not the media projection. not some speculation. not that even a paul, but a legal document, a legal decision that legitimizes see is that cell designation as president elect. so democracy depends on very fragile norms, including that the defeated candidate graciously acknowledges that he lost the election. and then particularly in a presidential context, the defeated candidate says congratulations to the.
