12:01 pm
policies of the past. and we speak to the c.e.o. of israel's top post, but still not the medical center in jerusalem, which has over a 1000000 doses of brushes, put nick the vaccine because the 1000 job is currently in its final phase of testing. we are pretty sure to be virtually c, v, c, b, sheepish in the world. but doing hello welcome has just gone 8 pm here in the russian capital. you're watching our team's national flag. you picked us this monday, the 16th. well, to get us started, let's head straight to the armenian capital of the crowds have again been riding against the country's prime minister, calling for his resignation. and a week since, amina signed
12:02 pm
a cease fire agreement with us by john over the dispute did not want to tap back enclaves a deal. the armenian public have deemed as humiliating local john, unless joe necessary was in yerevan for us. for this month, 7th day of protest really in the cup or so. and today we started off at freedom square once again mr. minnesota's purchased from from last week about for about 400-3000 people for about 2 hours of his speeches. and the slogan of this project has been nico is a traitor. a question on the prime minister, that's him referring to. and they marched through the city center through the i want the main streets to the 1st time actually since purchased a gun to the prosecutor general's office. usually a march to the parliament building or a government building in people who very much short last week and probably still are. and i think some people without, by coming out to purchase,
12:03 pm
i think the emotions are really high and people are saying the footage from, from the, we're going to cut it back and then the regions and seeing people burning the houses and, and the emotions are really high still, and in the meantime, russia has started to send peacekeepers to monitor the cease fire between armenia and azerbaijan. all to moscow brokered the deal a week ago to stop the bloodshed in new corner care about. these are some of the latest pictures of russian equipment, hundreds of vehicles on personnel landing in our media. the patrol is currently monitoring the cease fire and assisting with the exchange of foreign soldiers from the conflict. the mining and clearing the territory is also part of the mission. in total, it will last 5 years with an automatic extension myth of quiet. the truce is already allowing some refugees to return home overnight with $500.00. armenians came back from the capital yerevan to the disputed regions. largest city of the panic cut and russian peacekeepers oversaw a convoy of 1000 buses, full of people,
12:04 pm
devils on the way to the peacekeeping mission in the region. and sent us this report. of the peacekeeping force that is supposed to be stationed in the golden has almost been brought up to the full strength we witnessed this morning. get another very large called with russian peacekeepers making their way into the gold knickerbocker. aside from the 2000 about 2000 peacekeepers, the russian side has also published a detailed map of what the area they're going to look like. the operations of the russian peacekeeping mission. they'll be in the observation, post monitoring stations in the northern area, married in the southern area, and 7 in the corridor, a thin strip of land connecting me near to the pru armenian. you know, there's a lot of anger with the way the doubt. there is a lot of sadness with how many people have died and the root of it lee,
12:05 pm
people are just thankful that it is concluded from an already hopeless with, russians. they are all saviors need. the u.s., new europe, how to the international community was signed and throughout these times, when our prime minister sold this land, it was only the russians who came to save us. but our nation has lost everything. nothing's left. i beg russia to help us to let the rest leave well on our lands. it's painful, of course, but we see russian troops are coming. hopefully they will keep the peace. the russian peacekeeping mission, instead by the carrot, is acting as a sort of mediation headquarters that is organize a communication between the 2 sides, if it directly between media and said about john. they have already organized, for example, an exchange of the remains of soldiers who'd been killed and whose bodies both sides were unable to collect. things are being very differently on the,
12:06 pm
by johnny side, out of the there isn't quite the sadness that the reason the armenian side, they've made tremendous gains areas that they believe are historically. there's the recognized internationally, as i said by john in people who had been forced to evacuate 30 years ago. and now overjoyed that they're heading back to homes, that the been unable to return to for 30 years is in peace. i'm so grateful to our soldiers and our president, he will return there with great pleasure, as this is our lead and then use about the liberation and prospect of return has put behind all the hardship we've had for all this years. and want to help to me. now, i'm so happy that our lands are liberated and grateful to all who made this country . i'm so joyful to return to my land well waiting for a signal from the government to return. we're already packing up our stuff over the
12:07 pm
course of this 6 week conflict that had been many attempts to establish a ceasefire. international attempts by russia, by the united states could also pressure from all over the world and nothing seemed to hold until the 10th of november when russian president vladimir putin help mediate this latest ceasefire, which was signed by the president of us here by john the prime minister of armenia and which is held there is however, an enormous amount of work to be done. there is an enormous amount of uncertainty about the, the 10s of thousands of refugees that have been displaced from their homes, from their villages over the course of this conflict. uncertainty about their future where they'll return to if, if they'll return to their homes. a tool with this also huge amount of problems with the humanitarian situation in the golden. they caught up bach. there is a lack of the basic medicine. there is a lack of services. heating in very cold temperatures,
12:08 pm
will boost of this is now the priority. stablish in livable conditions of baking. sure. sure people have somewhere to return to well, just to remind you, last week, armenia and azerbaijan, as i said, signed a peace deal ending 6 weeks of fighting over the new one. i care about enclaves, both sides will hold on to their current military positions that gives armenia control of the disputed regions. capitals, depart a cut as a by john gets the 2nd largest city shushi, which it took just before the fighting. and i mean, it will also have to handover 3 other districts in the region. baku has extended the deadline for armenia to pull out its troops and civilians from those districts . thousands of residents are fleeing their homes in the bombing them down, so as not to leave them to who they see as the enemy. they explain to us the painful decision. and we had a good life. and now we have what we have. now we are tearing down the houses,
12:09 pm
we built ourselves. i don't know what will happen next. and i don't know what to say. what can i see? it's hard to speak about it. i know one thing for sure. i wouldn't even want my enemy to find himself in a situation like this. i've lived here for 20 years, and now i'm a refugee. we are taking down our houses. i don't know where we are going. i have been rebuilding my host for 12 years now. i'm taking it down, it is very hard, very hard, but we do not have any other choice. washington has threatened further sanctions on tehran to mark the anniversary of iran's $2990.00 protests. the us state department says it will take action against the country's quote, agents of repression. the ring regime tried to hide the evidence of his brutal crackdown through censorship, intimidation, and still refuses to allow independent investigations into the killings that
12:10 pm
perpetrated. the united states will continue to promote accountability by announcing further actions against the agents of repression. later this week to bring a measure of justice to the iranian people, the longest suffering victims of the islamic republic of iran. meanwhile, the outcome of the us presidential election remains contested nearly 2 weeks on from the vote. donald trump has repeatedly claimed that he was the winner, while joe biden has declared himself president elect saying he is ready to take over the white house and make january. but until then, something here that trump will use his final months to toughen foreign policy has more america's in for a chilling thriller called lame duck president ready to bite, and it's getting worse and worse every day. we're hearing stories that are horror stories, but it'll probably go through a process, a legal process, a weight conducts bite. certainly if the ducks last name is trump, what if the man who's been slagged off as the worst president is america now has
12:11 pm
something in mind that would make the same folks call him the most disastrous, lame duck president and u.s. history. those easy, good old times when the incoming george w. bush administration only had to deal with a few pranks after the clinton people left be yanked off the w.'s of the white house keyboards. it cost a few $1000.00 to repair that. if only in 2020, the dems could get away with such harmless banter. donald trump's opponents are in fear. the media are showing this story over and over. they're loving it. maybe it's their last chance to get a piece of the trump hating pie. but hey, seriously, people as important as the former head of the cia are super worried. he's like a cornered cat tiger. and he is going to lash out mr. brennan, even once mike pence to suddenly turn his back on pows and save america from the
12:12 pm
wild, lame duck. i think they would seriously consider 25th amendment pushing. all right, well, after the obama administration,, here's some of them. and november 4 years ago, the head of crumbs moved to d.c., began doing everything to turn his white house, stay into misery after they planted the russia gay bomb under the oval office chair, to play on his nerves throughout the whole term. what should you expect if not revenge, contacts between president elect donald trump's advisors and russian officials. he's alone in being unwilling to accept the view that this was done by the russians . trump is already act like a russian with one phrase on their mind. that is, he's got nothing to lose pundits are trying to calculate the likelihood of spoiler moves. after all, the lame ducks already caused a stir at the pentagon. president travels purging the top ranks of the pentagon, 48 hours after the election was called for joe biden. president trump is just fired,
12:13 pm
his defense secretary said, always big news when the secretary of defense is fired and that is what president obama says he has just done to the now outgoing secretary of defense. so what now to try to pull out of ghana stand all of a sudden or start operations against a rare and even without triggering world war 31 of the angry doc. the final hopes for the revival of the nuclear deal with a win by throwing new sanctions at them. could he stunned the dems by pardoning julian assange? it was him who helped shine the light on the d.n.c. e-mails 4 years ago. right. what if another trump twitter rant causes a new wave of street unrest? what if you reveal something classified and dodgy that would hurt america? although some would say he's the kind of president who has more to hide than to reveal. anyway, lame duck thriller, bring it on well with the fallout from november, thoughts about still on joe biden, isn't wasting much time. his new administration is taking shape as the democrats
12:14 pm
look to fill the top ranks of the white house. but as daniel explains, some of the names might be buried from india votes over, but not yet official. and so biden is gearing up for his move into the white house and his message to the world leaders. big changes are afoot in washington. i'm letting you know that america is back. we're going to be back again. so what does the return of the old america mean for the rest of the world? here's how the boy administration could look. while it's an inclusive lineup with several new faces. the candidates are heavyweights of american politics. let's take a closer look at c.v.s. . the hands down favorite for secretary of state is susan rice, who served both as national security, advisor and u.s. ambassador to the u.n. . under barack obama. a strong advocate for the intervention in libya and u.s. involvement in other states. rice was in the planning to replace hillary clinton as
12:15 pm
secretary of state. she withdrew because ations that she misled the public over the 2012 benghazi terror attack. explanation about how 4 americans died in benghazi, libya by ambassador rice, i think does not do justice to the reality. at the time i relied solely and squarely on the information provided to me by the intelligence community. and rice was one of those who never let go of trump kremlin collusion. even just a few months ago, she was adamant that russia had its hands all over the election. i almost never say this can, but 100 percent convinced russia is doing much of what in 2 $1016.00 and certainly a lot of confidence seems to be gone now that joe biden is projected as the winner the likely nominee for pentagon chief is michelle flower,
12:16 pm
annoy obama's former undersecretary of defense who helped persuade the president at the time towards a military intervention in libya on humanitarian grounds. you know, i supported the intervention in libya on humanitarian grounds. i think we were right to do a supporter of the u.s. troop surge in afghanistan and escalation of u.s. involvement in syria. she's also a hard liner on both russia and china. flower noir once said that future warfare may come in many flavors, and with advocates of big bets on new weapons. at the head of the pentagon, america can expect a full menu of delicacies. it's no secret. the cia has historically been a pillar of u.s. foreign policy, and one of the picks for cia boss is michael morrell, rose to prominence during the obama years. he's already familiar with the job serving twice as acting director, a man steeped in the cia's longest standing traditions. morrell would no doubt be
12:17 pm
successful, bringing his plans to fruition in the new biden administration. we need to make iranians pay a price in syria. we need to make the russians pay a price. the only thing i mean, you make them pay the price by killing killing russians. yes. nothing highlights the agency's prestige better than a director, openly plotting covert assassinations around the world. and if you expect the adjustments to the world's largest military budget with an economy heavily disrupted by a pandemic, those will probably only go one way. i've met with a number of my devises. and some have suggested in certain areas the military budget is going to have to be increased. the advice from boyd as advisors is certainly clear. and with many on his pentagon transition team working for a think tank, sponsored by nato government, such as the u.a.e. and qatar and laws always. what if, actress, why wouldn't it be fun is voting might commodity. this was also
12:18 pm
a critic of america's withdrawal from syria. should have by an administration might good on her ambiguous post-election promise to make a return to standing with partners in syria. these firms could be in to make a killing. on the one hand, we're looking at competence, people who are clearly competent in the job that they're doing. now, on the other hand, you can be competently implementing bad policy. and i think that's what we're going to be looking at in the future abided ministration. if it comes to pass, it will be bad policy interventionist policy. it will lead to more wars. joe biden himself is an interventionist. i mean, this is a man who promoted intervention in libya, promoted in redemption in syria. he's a man who voted for the war in iraq in the definitive vote afterwards. and so he's going to surround himself with people who are similarly inclined. you know, the world today doesn't necessarily want the united states to be the dominant power . the world, once united states to be as a friend, a big brother, somebody who will help them,
12:19 pm
but not dominate them. abidin is more of the dominating school, and i don't think this bodes well for america's relationship with the rest of the world or for the united states. we simply can't afford to keep doing this kind of aggressive intervention trumps 4 years of america. coming to an end, while baden's intent to rejoin some international agreements and institutions will leave many optimistic. this will be tempered with strong caution. as the hawks in his administration arrived back in town. one other news, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been in talks with russ the putzes of the sputnik cowriter virus vaccine has altered his way to hospital or did one of the hoff a 1000000 doses of the tablet is in the thawed and final phase of trials that there is some clinic has a broad tear and must go on as involved in the testing audience point to say i spoke with the hospital, director of the russian team, the he's safe and the city. and because siri to be different,
12:20 pm
one in boxing over the ward is very tense in many countries and russian is only one of the books that russian, i would say, among the 1st to come to the market, would be a move, much dependent on them. and on our ministry in order to prevent the wave, which is on our way, we are following up on d. development of just books in a couple of months. not only that, we learned a little bit about it about it too, but seeing it was invented to government institution in moscow. we like the idea last month is also a spike in cases if there's not a significant increase in the number of people who taste covered positive. is it possible that israel could start the vaccinations before the trial concludes once? and it will be rick who lives in israel, has it all to isaac, see we already have ranged in and puts in
12:21 pm
buying it from them. ok for the people who feel that. 'd we decided just as right for to apply to our israeli minister to have to submit to ration in order to be district seem to be part of the hooks into tourist bodies or minister who its executive to say should bring me out today. what we can do is to extend to face truth tried and true equivalent to us here and he's a and b. are looking forward, maybe even to establish on line up with action production here. we can cry, who you see going to be a tourist in south america and to far east asia. and they don't break their collecting more and more countries. so the invisible to be the sheep percent of the war to be vaccinated. but do action book should we like to be smallpox and what on the theme of court of virus politicians are increasingly flouting
12:22 pm
a very anti covert rules. they themselves set. and despite the us now facing new coronavirus cases, a california governor appears to have been courts making off to a bathtub party after telling everyone else to stay home. but he's far from the only high profile figure to set a bad example. we are really responsible and we make sure that everyone in our family and our close friends are tested religiously. so you know, we do what we can we try to follow the cording
12:23 pm
12:24 pm
if you aren't aware, you know, people look up to you or you have access to airwaves. the media. i, you know, maybe something was you as a role model you actually, you know, should have you're, and we're in the middle of a socially distance. you have to wear a mask, i think is in incumbent people and in those kinds of positions. you know, to practice it. behavior in children, other behavior missions in the asia pacific, i've joined forces to form the walled biggest trade bloc. the need to forge group is already the 2nd in the region, which does not include the usa, who had the regional comprehensive economic partnership. the trade deal was signed by 15 asia pacific economies, including china, south korea, and japan. it will cover a huge market over $2000000000.00 people,
12:25 pm
which does account for a thaw out of the wild g d p. negotiations to form the new blog dragged on for waste 7 years, and donald trump pulled out of the deal while u.s. president, the new block sets out to reduce terrorists while over the last few years, the united states has increased them, singapore based financial commentator, jen rogers, believes the new partnership is a logical step for asia and a missed opportunity for washington. not, not a certain could and well, these nations have been working on this a long time and it really, really started with the us. you are nations, it was young. and it has been expanded to other nations, including china. mr. trump is making china great again. you know, he dropped out of the t p. p. he left asia and now china and other asian nations are putting themselves together. it's great for asian, it's great for china, it's not good for the united states. it's lost opportunity. i mean, we're not cutting will take us is going to lose any money specifically because it
12:26 pm
is the when you see the chinese and the koreans and the japanese making free trade agreements with each other. those are a very, very, very big economies and nations, a big trade wars have never been useful or successful for anybody. nobody's ever won a trade war. and i hope mr. biden is smart enough to know that too, and try to bring america back into asia and other trading nations. something some of the news from around the world. now syria's a long time foreign minister has died at the age of 79. was the country's top diplomat for the last 15 years denouncing foreign intervention in syria's civil war . his health card was and have to suffer a heart problems. in the meantime, a candidate pledging clicks a typhoon in new has claimed moldova's presidential election lawyers, son to beat incumbent in court on who has previously allied himself with russia.
12:27 pm
however, design is disputing the vote and will take his claim to police have clashed with anti ducktown protesters and made multiple arrests and wales central square. the italian government has toughened measures in areas was hit by the 2nd wave of the country's suffering tens of thousands of new cases a day. 6 and finally for nasa astronauts are being taken to the international space station on a privately owned flight for the 1st time. the space x. capsule is due to arrive later on monday. circumstance or cone hooks or opening the law gives you a pretty good idea of the big moment so far in the day. i'll be back out the top of the hour with the latest up next here on our national go. it's crosstalk. enjoy
12:28 pm
12:29 pm
the day we dare to ask hello and welcome the crosstalk. are all things are considered? i'm peter lavelle. trump is facing probably his last battle as president. will he triumph over the generals and will by his foreign policy pick up where obama left off with the neo cons. again, even back in control,
12:30 pm
