well, you know, it's with, you know, we're going to avoid internal political upheaval. holding early parliamentary elections is inevitable. staring down the barrel of mass protests, the president of armenia calls for the government's resignation. it follows a week of public anger over the peace deal between armenia and azerbaijan, which halted the conflict in the meanwhile, displaced under the new deal. armenians tore torched their homes and tear down their homes as they are forced out of areas now controlled by azerbaijan. they say they don't want to leave them as for food, they see as the enemy. and we had a good life. now we are tearing down the houses we saw. so i know one thing for sure. i wouldn't even want my any me to find himself in

a situation like this. it is very hard because we do not have any other choice and surprising facts about the american election, while some might expect a clear difference between trump and biden voters in terms of gender and race. the reality seems more complex with trump gaining more minority votes than 4 years before we discuss the issue with our guests. i think the politics really is one. donald trump is great, but show me that well, we've got to move forward into the future in it when we see each other beyond the color of anybody here in los israel is in talks with russia over the purchase of the sputnik, the coronavirus vaccine we speak to the c.e.o. of israel's top hospital as the medical center in jerusalem, orders over a 1000000 doses of russia shot which is currently in the final phase of testing. we

are pretty sure that the rich and the bees see the illusion of would be to she. she pushes them to rebook. she needed to do action, but she's coming to live from our world news headquarters in moscow. this is our international. i'm donald quarter joining you here in the studio. welcome to the program. now we start with news from armenia, where the country's president has called early parliamentary elections inevitable saying the government should resign, you know, and comes as the country is gripped by mass protests, sparked by the truce deal with thousands by john over another in a car bomb earlier prime minister nicola pasha, yon nichol pasha, yon rather 1st, took responsibility for signing what some have called a humiliating agreement. but said the armenian people should not judge him without all the details. us one with expansion,

there is no doubt for me that i am the main official responsible for what's happened, that i am responsible in the context of what happened. but there are no discrepancies here. i am aware, as before, in this case, roughly speaking, i must be brought to justice by the people. but in order for the people to be judges, they must have the information about the circumstances we are accused of to meet really contradictory things. the fact that we signed the paper surrendering the territories and that we did not sign it soon enough to surrender the regions. so there's been a lot of talk over the last 7 days about what should happen to kony from protests in opposition parties. but it's the 1st clear statement from someone to give me the president, but what should happen and part way to conduct a government of national unity and make both of those we lost the war imposed on us both on the battlefield and in diplomatic and international platforms. you can lose a battle, but it's unacceptable to lose as a nation. we have a concern society and

a damaged economy that is burdened with massive social issues. it is obvious that in order to avoid internal political upheaval holding early parliamentary elections is inevitable. it was here just behind me 7 days ago in the public square, where for almost to the hour actually where the protests this 1st gathered and broke into the government building behind me, the anger was really quite harsh initially on the project that continued a week. there was that there was more protests this evening start to do it for us. where moved on to the prosecutor general's office. but it's the 1st time we've had from, from someone within that, within the armenian political system that you know for what they think that could happen. alessandro bruno of gulf state analytics believes the public outcry in armenia over the truce was to be expected. this is not going to be a very easy situation, even if elections are called quickly. and i believe the president hopes for a government of national unity that may be too much of

a hope. this war was entered into without the proper calculations. it was a losing proposition from the start. i mean, the fact everything went against the armenian side, so it was important to stop this. and i think a question of man must be at least praise for stopping the conflict before things got out of hand. but it was predictable that this would happen to be anger. politically, obviously, if you entered into a war like this, that means you haven't delivered what you promised when you came into power to remind you. last week, armenia and azerbaijan signed a peace deal ending 6 weeks of fighting over the nagorno-karabakh enclave. both sides will hold on to their current military positions, which gives armenia control of the disputed regions. capital of step out of hurt and azerbaijan gets the 2nd largest city of shushi, which it took just before the fighting ended. armenia will also have to hand over 3 other districts in the region, and baku says it will quote,

take care of the territories it gained via the conflict. in particular, their christian churches and monasteries located there is also extended the deadline for armenian troops to pull out and for civilians as well. from those districts, thousands of residents, there are fleeing their homes and even burning them down so as not to leave them to who they see as the enemy. we heard from people who had to make that painful decision. we had a good life. and now we have what we have. now we are tearing down the houses. we built a house, so 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, anybody to find himself in a situation case. i've lived here for 20 years, and now i'm a refugee. we are taking down our houses, so i don't know where we are going. i had little build in my house for 12 years.

now i'm taking it down. it is very hard, very hard, but we do not have any other choice. meanwhile, russia is sending peacekeepers to monitor the cease fire between armenia and azerbaijan. after moscow brokered that deal to stop the bloodshed and to go in a car a box. these are some of the latest pictures of russian equipment. hundreds of vehicles and personnel landing in armenia. the patrol is currently monitoring the cease fire and assisting with the exchange of fallen soldiers in mining and clearing the territory is also part of the peacekeeping mission and in total it will last 5 years with an automatic extension if required. the truce is already allowing some refugees to return home overnight. almost $500.00. armenians came back from the capital yerevan to the the disputed regions, largest city of step on a current russian peacekeepers also oversaw a convoy of $1000.00 buses. full of people are on the way to the peacekeeping mission in the region and sent this report of the peacekeeping fool that is

supposed to be stationed in the golden. it has almost been brought up to the full strength we witnessed this morning. get another very large russian peacekeepers making their way to the gold make it a block with aside from the 2000 about 2000 peacekeepers, the russian side has also published a detailed map of what the area of the golden ticket will look like. the operations of the russian peacekeeping mission, they'll be observation, post monitoring stations in the northern area, married in the southern area, and 7 in the achaeans kiko to a thin strip of land connecting to the proof. in the golden gate of this, there's a lot of anger with the way the blue, no doubt, there's a lot of sadness with how many people have died. and the ultimately people are just thankful that it is concluded already hope. as with russians,

they are our saviors need. the us know, europe helped us. the international community was signed in throughout these times . in our prime minister sold this land. it was only the russians who came to save us. but our nation has lost everything. nothing is left to that question to help us to let the rest leave well in our lands. it's painful, of course, but we see russian troops are coming. hopefully they will keep the peace. the russian peacekeeping mission, they kept, is acting as a sort of mediation headquarters that is organize a communication between the 2 sides, if it directly between the media. and i said about jobs, they have already organized, for example, in 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, by johnny side, out of the there isn't quite the sadness that the reason the armenian side,

they 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 course of the 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. did nothing seem to hold until the 10th of november when russian president vladimir putin help mediate this latest ceasefire, which was signed by the president of as you know, by john the prime minister 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 they'll return to their homes. a tool with there's also a huge amount of problems with the humanitarian situation in the go in the car bomb, there is a lack of the basic medicine. there's a lack of services. heating in very cold temperatures. will boost of this is now the priority. establishing livable conditions of making sure sure people have

somewhere to return to well, there's still no official winner in the u.s. presidential election, but the fallout from the vote has spurred new talking points, one of which is identity politics, backfiring for candidates as both joe biden and donald trump might be wondering what went wrong in the ballots. in the demographic breakdown. some unexpected twists came for donald trump, who lost support among white males. a group he won over decisively in 2016, over he gained 4 percentage points with the african-american and hispanic communities, and it was the latino vote that helped him swing florida. in his favor, asian americans also shifted to the republicans in 2020 with a 7 percent point increase. earlier, my colleague tailor discussed those new voting trends with our expert panel. but then the politics really died in 2016 in the eyes of average americans, of course not in the media,

not in the far left is not the democrat party because they are, they remain so out of touch with real americans. that average america with normal people, really, people who aren't. so for them they could see more going on this identity politics narrative. they continue to get even crazier and their ideas, their myths about oppression and racism to spiral. and they don't even deeper. but of course, what we're seeing is that more and more minorities were voting for donald trump in 2016, even with l. g b. t's that his support among l. g. b t's according to the new york times since 26 team as much as the left in the me, you know, the democratic party dole down on this narrative that donald trump is a races. is this narrative that republicans, you know, hate minorities or whatever. a lot of people were listening and they decided to vote with their wallets. they did buy it with their conscience and stop that democrats and he should as they say, let's take a look at by 10, because one of the moments that drew a bit of conciseness when he said to

a block in tokyo, he said, if you haven't decided they are going to vote for democrats that quote, you ain't black. now, some said this is a really divisive, almost patronize in type of identity politics. do you agree with that? what's your take after he told the person who was interviewing him, called sharleen guy. that if you like, if you don't know you, if you don't vote for biden, you imply. he also cut charlemagne off as charlemagne tried to ask questions about, you know, what are you buying plans for the black community? what, you know, black community expect in return for their vote by him say, you know what, i got to go. i can't go on with this interview. and to me that came across as blatant disrespect. and i believe that a lot of people in the black community feel completely disrespected by the democratic party during this election. not only did they not fountain, what we can expect in response are involved. they also began to put out the marshall that were disrespectful. it's really interesting that

a lot of the policy is in response to the black community, not investing in the marketing of the campaign, campaigning in certain black communities. that didn't happen, but also can tell you last people that they can expect anything like reparation in return for their vote. you know, it's one thing to say donald trump is racist, but show me that you're not racist as well. and i don't think the democratic party did, and they suffered because a lot of people to, you know, turn their back on the current. well, i think the elections showed that many minorities got tired of this rhetoric and, and we saw from the democratic party, especially here in florida. they lost a few seats, especially because there's, there's an attitude to believe that latinos, especially for some reason, they are a one topic community which is basically based on immigration. i think latinos got very upset about this because in the end, no matter where you're a black, latino, asian, i don't want to be seen as a brown person. i don't think any black person wants to be seen as

a black person in terms of the color of their skin. i think we've got to move forward into the future in it when we see each other, beyond the color of anybody you skin and we're able to look at each other for what we stand for. what we believe in and not because we have a brown wide or black skin, which i think is ridiculous. and the democrats paid a high price for this. and if they continue doing this down the road, especially in the next 2 years, they will lose the house. and this is not a victory. i would say, i think that would happen in this election was simply that a lot of republicans, they agreed with donald trump, his policies, but they didn't agree with his demeanor. and i think that that had a huge impact in the election, especially among white men. still to come on r t this news hour it's been revealed. trump's advisors may have lied to the president regarding the presence of u.s.

troops in syria. you want to hear all about that after this short break seem wrong to me, to shape our day, to educate and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. the banks are involved in a huge ponzi scheme attached to the federal reserve bank. and the federal reserve bank is attached to a huge ponzi scheme called the global banking financial. and the i.m.f. and the world bank and the people at davos. and then that part of the ponzi scheme

is backed by america's military. so america's military is kind of the force behind this global ponzi scheme. so if you defund the military, then the whole house of cards crumbles. welcome back to the program. now international interest is building in russia's covert 1000 vaccine. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been in talks with a lot of mir putin over the purchase of the sputnik the shot. our correspondent paula sleeper reports short time ago, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu held a telephone conversation with the russian president vladimir putin,

about purchasing an option on the vaccine. he said that the 2 datas will speak in greater detail about it in the coming days. if the shock and also i spoke on the foreign with russian president vladimir putin, about the prospects or purchasing the sputnik vaccine out of this, we will discuss this in the coming days. but think things clinical trials are currently hauffe way through phases 3 and there have been no major problems reported in terms of the formula. what we do know is that about half of the 40000 volunteers who are involved in the research have already received the injection. there's been no reports of major ill health and we have heard from the producers that night. it stands at a 92 percent. if it has seen about 30 countries have a waiting, ordered the vaccine that's according to the producers. one of the countries israel, one of the needing hospitals here, some medical clinic in jerusalem has ordered one and a half 1000000 doses. now, earlier i caught up with the director general of the hospital who told us this,

the russian books he is safe in the city. and because he re, to be deferred one in boxing over the ward is very dense in many countries. and russian is only one of the books that russian troops to come to the market move much dependent on them, you know, no ministry in order to prevent a grave, which is on the way we are following up for the development of just books in the copper months not only that, we should be devoted to the government living situation. we like the idea last month is also a spike in cases, if there is a not a significant increase in the number of people who taste covered positive. is it possible that israel could stopped the vaccinations before the trial concludes once, and each would be rick who lives in israel? has it all to isaac?

see we already i winched in and puts in buying it from them. ok for the people refused. we decided to says right port to apply to our easy way to minister to to submit to ration in order to be just fixing to be bought of the books into tourist. but they usually mean to sue him, its executive to stage, to me out to date. what we can do, he's to extend to face truth, tried and true equal to and to use he and he's a and b. are looking forward, maybe even to establish some line up with action producing here, things that can climb, who's going to be to rise in south america and a shia, you don't get more and more countries so be in was a few be destroyed. she percent of the war would be vaccinated, but do action because she would like to be smallpox to germany could be on the

verge of a 2nd national lockdown as nations across europe are all out tougher. and he covered restrictions. here's artie's paper all over with more. well, the latest from berlin is the sound of a can being kicked further down the road when it comes to water restrictions and how those restrictions will be strengthened. angela merkel, the german chancellor went into a meeting on monday with the heads of the 16 german states. wanting to put in place stronger restrictions that would be ensuring didn't law. the heads of the local governments though they wanted to see advice and it's advice. that's where it stays, the vice is. don't meet any more people than you really have to try and stay away from making the necessary contacts. really, this was the result of a long meeting that went on the press conference was 3 and a half hours delayed from when it was 1st advertised, it would be,

it seems that after all of that talking, they've said they're going to come back next wednesday. the 25th of november with a long term plan for how we're strictures are going to be in play. that the message coming from angela merkel. yes, sat there alongside the mayor of burlington, michael miller, the head of the state of the various markets. they all said the same thing really, that the restrictions that were in place were working, but they weren't working and north and that they needed to see more measures put in place. the reason they need to see more measures put in place, or at least those 3 politicians want to see more measures put in place, is because the number of covert cases in europe is rising. and we've actually heard on monday from the head of the world health organization, saying they are particularly concerned about the number of cases and medical staff being overwhelmed. juta the rise in cases both in europe and the united states. right now, we are extremely concerned by the surging cases we are seeing in some countries,

particularly in europe and the americas, called workers who new systems are being pushed to the breaking point. and one country that is heading into strict lockdown from cheese day is austria. the alpine nation putting in place some of the strictest coronavirus measures of all european nations pretty much a blanket curfew on leaving your house will be in place across australia, 24 hours a day. you'll only be able to leave to go and get food to take some exercise by yourself. or if you need to go and care for somebody else. schools also kindergartens, all non-essential shops. they are all going to be closed down. so that's the end could the austrian chancellor said that these measures we needed if there was to be any hope of easing them somewhat over the christmas period. when entering the hippie do food,

my urgent appeal is for the next 4 weeks. don't meet any one. every social contact is one too many. only then can we reopen our country, step by step in december and save the christmas season. for paul francis found itself ravaged by the coronavirus. olivia fell on the french health minister. has said, though, that he understands that they've reached the peak. however, when he looks at the number of people who are dying still of coronavirus in france, he says those numbers are still far too high. everything points to france having passed the peak of the cold, 19 epidemic. we are not beaten the virus clearly is soorley to say we've won and drop our guard. also news coming out of sweden on monday. sweden, of course, held up by some as the example of how to handle covert without him putting in place strict rules. well, the news is they're going to be putting in place strict rules because allowing, leaving that up to people hasn't worked. staff i love in the prime minister of

sweden saying that there would be a cap of 8 people being allowed to mix outside of their homes. previously, that had been a suggestion of anywhere between 50 and 300 people live in announcing this saying that these measures is necessary as the country tries to get a grasp on rising covert cases. there were revelations concerning the trumpet, ministrations, foreign policy have come to light after a high ranking diplomat, admittedly, to keeping the president in the dark regarding troops on the ground in syria. a senior official who is now retiring has said that the actual number is much higher than officially stated. we were always playing show games to not make clear to our leadership how many troops we had. the u.s. military operations have been ongoing in syria since 2014, without the approval of damascus. the current number of american troops known to the public stands at roughly 600,

and the pentagon says their role is to fight the remnants of terrorist groups in the region. donald trump has ordered a full military pullout from syria several times, with the exception of a for a few 100 troops that remains to guard oil wells in the country's east. according to a whistleblower diplomat, diplomat, however, the us army remains at full strength. when the situation in northeast syria had been fairly stable and after we defeated isis, trump was inclined to pull out each case. we then decided to come up with 5 points around humans for why we needed to stay. and we succeeded both times. that's the story. we spoke to professor and middle east analyst, joshua landis, who believes it would be naive to think the president wasn't in the loop. well, someone like jeffrey probably thinks the president is a fool and that it'll do his own reputation. good. if he makes it clear that you know he suffers fools, he doesn't suffer fools lightly. well, i'm sure the white house wasn't really in the dark. you know,

most of us who watch syria pretty carefully understood that there were a lot more than a few hundreds of soldiers there. on the other hand, it is quite clear that the president made his wishes clear about withdrawing from syria on 2 different occasions. and he ran into a ton of opposition from the state department defense department, and his entire national security establishment. they, they're trying to roll back russia and iran maximum pressure on iran. and they didn't want the president to muck up their policy. and so they fought back vigorously, they came up with the oil excuse that they, they knew he might latch on to, but i might have my hunch is the president was aware of what was going on. it just wasn't worth his fight to clear out syria. more of your world news stories, make sure to check out our website, r.t. dot com and follow us on twitter. i'll be back with more at the top of the hour. and i hope to see you then

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics. business, i'm show business. i'll see you then world is driven by shaped by one person. thinks we dare to ask

the president's press conference from the new state department auditorium, march 23rd, 1961 i want to make a brief statement about laos. it is i think important. 'd for all americans to understand this difficult and potentially dangerous problem. these 3 maps show the area of effective communist domination as it was last august and from december 20th. now to the present day, near the end of march, the communists control a much wider section of the country. the position of this administration has been carefully considered. and we.
