well, with him to most of our top stories this cheese day morning, armenia's president say's early parliamentary elections are inevitable and the government should resign. there are mass protests over a peace deal with as a find john on the disputed region of little or no care about international attention grows on russia's covert, 19 vaccine with israel's prime minister in talks to buy this, but make the job russia's top for all a just tell us when we could get a hold on the pandemic. i'm seeing when 70 percent of the population will have gotten this infection. this virus will never disappear from our population. it is another virus which we need to live with. they used to on time with post trump, america, with france needing

a push for more independence from surprising facts about the american election, while somewhat expects a clear difference between trump and biden voters in terms of gender, in terms of gender and race. the reality seems more complex with trump gaining more minority votes than 4 years ago. we discussed the issue with our guests today, the politics really seem in the eyes of average americans. it's one of the things they donald trump, is right. but show me that you are not racist as well. and i don't think the democratic party we've got to move forward to the future when we see each other, beyond that color or anybody is a very good morning to you, went to a.t.m., here and most when you're watching on t.n.t.,

national with the news update. now, i mean, yes, president have demanded, the prime minister, quit and immediate parliamentary elections. masterly the calling for peace deal with azerbaijan disputed area. no one and karabakh humiliating. joins me in this studio now with more. thanks for coming. and good morning. all the prime ministers days numbered the key. good morning. well, i can tell you that this is the moment when the entire political career of prime minister may call posturing on over meaning as being put to the test. he may survive as the head of government, or he may lose everything that he won back in 2018. that was only 2 years ago when as a result of a popular uprising, he kicked out the old government and came to power. so nichole posturing on used to enjoy overwhelming public support. but then came the war, the bloodshed in the pro armenian breakaway republic of the in azerbaijan. and

after weeks of intense battles, the prime minister signed a peace deal that would mean that the armenian enclave would lose about a half of its territory, which is of course, an enormous blow for the iranians. and that was when the moon didn't get yvonne and other parts of the country changed. people came out to the streets and chanted, get out. and that was the point when the president decided to announce that it was time for me to vote on its parliament and the people who are supposed to be in charge of the country. again, make books that we lost the war imposed on us both on the battlefield and 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 no order to avoid internal political upheaval holding early parliamentary elections

is inevitable. now just for you to understand the levels of fury and division, the scale of unrest in the capital and in other parts of armenia, after that cease fire agreement was signed, it was in fact signed thanks to russia that acted as a mediator between armenia and azerbaijan. i just want you to look at these scenes, plenty of violent scenes, and yet iran so

in the course of the war, it was becoming increasingly clear that the troops there by johnny army was gaining ground and it was winning more and more territory that it considers its own and in fact the international community recognizes this part of land, part of a serb by john officially. so nicole pasha, known as justifying his move by saying that he had no other choice. and he's actually saying that he saved part of that land, at least for the some armenians share. that view was well, and also they are grateful to russia for helping armenia signed this peace deal with john. so here's exactly what the prime minister of armenia said about that u.s. almost extinct. 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. 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. so you know, how is the whole situation following the disputed pay still being seen as well. i can tell you that both the leadership in azerbaijan and the people are very happy. there are choice for because of this, the azerbaijanis see this peace deal as victory. there were jubilant scenes all over the country in azerbaijan. mostly, of course, people were waving flags. they are indeed celebrating. but i can tell you that the leader of us here by john president did a comolli of. he was very critical of what the armenian army has done and he did mention the damage that occurred in cities that were close to the front

line in the mainland is there by john. so they say that is outside the territory that used to be the breakaway republic, and he was very angry at what was happening here is what exactly he said about that the enemy has destroyed all the infrastructure. there will be held accountable for everything they have done and the international court. i said this earlier, and i want to repeat once again, that international structures and experts will be involved. all the damage will be evaluated and we will be demanding compensation for the last 30 years. but perhaps again, the most important thing for us there by john that it will be regaining control of swathes of territories in that region. and almost half of what used to be the breakaway in a court of public is going to be under control,

like the johnny side is promising that they won't do any harm to the armenian population there, everyone would be able to live, continue living their lives as they used to so they're promising no religious virgins or anything there, but definitely still a war and that's not going to heal for a very long time, possibly decades, if not centuries. exactly. it's early on in the process though. let's just hope for the best with all of this. thanks to coming in with us. now on a list on a foundry, bruno's face, the public outcry in armenia over the truth is hardly surprising. this is not going to be a very easy situation. even if elections are called quickly, 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 1st, everything went against the armenian side, or it was important to stop this thing out of your must be at least praise for stopping the conflict before things got out of hand. but it was predictable. this would happen politically, obviously, if you entered into a war like this, that means you haven't delivered what you promised when you came into power and surrounds prime minister has held talks with vladimir putin and by russia's covert vaccine. it's part of growing international interest in the sputnik the jap, our correspondent paula slayer ports. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has spoken via telephone with the russian president vladimir putin, about purchasing an option on the vaccine. he said that the 2 leaders will speak about this in greater detail in the coming days. sputnik, these clinical trials are about halfway through phase 3. there have been no major

side effects or problems reported about the whole formula. about 40000 volunteers are involved in the research about half of them have received the injection. and again, no major ill health reported we are hearing from producers that the vaccine has a 92 percent. if it can see, they are about 30 countries around the world that have already ordered the russian vaccine, one of them as role be leaving hospital here. at just a medical clinic has ordered one and a half 1000000 doses and russia. they have been almost 2000000 coronavirus cases since the spring. moscow has the highest number of victims. there are public. in eastern russia has become the 1st to impose another lockdown, closing restaurants, shopping centers, and places of mass gathering for 2 weeks. we spoke with some of the country with top. there are some new developments, all the vaccine. and when we could get

a hold on the pandemic stock markets, and there are now 100 vaccines in the world, yours. the institute was the 1st which to clear it had developed one, but this is very important. the vaccine was still unfinished. it was in the 3rd phase of testing, yet the president said that we have the vaccine. how come it's not the political? there's a need, it is politics, not science. i can just comment about the scientific part. we had the opportunity for quicker development in the 1980 s. ways were found of developing vectored vaccines. what is a vector of vaccine? this is when the gene you need is embedded in a virus which is safe for humans. this gene code protein causes immunity to a specific infection. in your case, it is a human adenovirus. yes. in our case it is the covert gene that is embedded in the

genome of a human a dino virus in the vaccine. it is a monkey adenovirus. yes, the vaccine uses a monkey, a d n, a virus that you take the virus out of a cell culture and clean it. and when you inject a person with it, the virus won't multiply. it just causes an abortive infection. what is an abortive infection? that is when the particles of the virus get into the cell and start to replicate the virus without its maturation, by embedding the virus in the cell. we get a huge amount of this protein and it immunizes the person. and you say that long term immunity is formed. how long and how strong the immunity is, is still the subject of study? it is still a question. yes, it is still in question. but antibodies develop the cell, immunity develops, and we can be sure that a person after vaccination will be safe for some time,

at least for half a year, or 2, the bigger it's the primitive will. when will such a large scale global epidemic. and because all through what i'm saying february, when 70 percent of the population will have gotten this infection, but this virus will never disappear from our population. it is another virus which we need to live with. we are dealing with a virus that adapts to humans due to its evolutionary orientation. so how long will it take it to adjust by orientation? i mean the fact that it always infects the upper respiratory tract but doesn't necessarily infect the lungs and other organs. do we know that for sure, you know, you can consider it a hypothesis over time, it will more affect the upper respiratory tract and go less inside of your body. that's why the virus will lose its lethality, it will spread, and in fact, well, but stop killing. how many years will it take before it stops killing people over

65, the overweight people with diabetes and people with cardiovascular diseases. about 2 or 3 years will it's a duck to us in 2 or 3 years. i don't agree here. i do think that it will change over time. there will be more people with immunity plus vaccinations they will work to. of course the incidence will decrease, but i don't think the severe morbidity will and the issue is not with the virus, but with the human body itself, we need to understand the croon. a virus does not kill you. it finishes you the outgoing u.s. secretary of state's got a lukewarm welcome on his farewell tour of europe. a french president met my compare after leaving calls for more strange relations as a whole finding it tough to move on from the tensions with the trunk administration

. with a solid to the polls. for years all of the trump administration have framed relations with the e.u. that pushed some, such as the french president to advance the idea of european strategic all turn on me. but even the prospect of joe biden heading into the white house, is having little effect on emanuel mcallen's idea of european independence. the united states will only respect us as allies if we are serious with ourselves. and if we are sovereign with our own defense, we need to continue to build our autonomy for ourselves. not cool, i was reacting to an op ed written by the german defense minister in it. she stated, europe remain dependent us. both americans,, europe need to fully accept the realities of continued u.s., nuclear deterrence on the european continent, illusions of european strategical told me,

must come to an end. europeans will not be able to replace. america's crucial rule is a security provider not call addressed this point. specifically, i profoundly disagree with the opinion piece by the german defense minister in politico. i think it is a historical misinterpretation. what this illustrates is just how i will not on the same page in you members all when it comes to the future of transatlantic relations . even more so, it seems that for once in germany are in totally different camps. when german chancellor angela merkel welcome boy didn't victory. she talked about how, you know, from the united states of america, in germany as part of the european union, must stand together to meet the great challenges of our time side by side. meanwhile, for also spoke about a change in that relationship. europe has changed in the last 4 years and has shaken off its nadir in terms of trade and has built

a common defense mechanism. so this is and you ear and we need to remodel the transplanted relationship. so that by then but let's not forget all the internal who are in the e.u. missing one major point. what does the new us won't all given the us is own internal divisions. what can it, even if this is not going to be plain sailing by resume? classic strategy of the us is a world of europe was for we had many, many fields of the old against rome. but i feel really it's not a good new. and with the e.u.

having just slapped for a teller trying to access on us products in learning running trade disputes, there are choppy waters still ahead to navigate your berry dinners, offering e.u. leaders, his cooperation, saying he wants to reinvigorate bilateral and transatlantic ties to nato. and the, u. yet it's clear all the goodwill in the world won't change the fact that there remains vost ocean between charlotte r.t. paris. it's been 2 weeks since the us presidential election and the outcome is still being disputed. but while donald trump and joe biden wrangle over, who will get the case to the white house, many are looking at their campaigning for clues as to what went wrong, and whether the focus on identity politics wasn't misplaced. trump lost support from white men, one decisively in 2016, however, he gained 4 percent with the african-american and hispanic communities,

and latino vote helped swing florida. in his favor, asian americans shifted even more to the republicans with a 7 percent rise. my colleague, discuss the results with experts but then the politics really died in 26 feet in the eyes of average americans. of course, not in the media, not even the far left is not the democratic party because there are, they remain so out of touch with real americans, that average america, with normal people, really, people are at least as much as the left in the me, you know, the democrat party double down on this narrative that donald trump is a racist, is this narrative that republicans, you know, hate minorities or whatever. 5 a lot of people weren't listening. i believe that a lot of people in the black community felt completely disrespected by the democratic party during this election. not only did they not respond, so what we could expect in response, our vote, they also began to put out the mercial that were disrespectful. 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 it's separate. it caused a lot of people to, you know, turn their back on the party. well, i think the elections showed that many minorities got tired of this by. so for rhetoric, there's an attitude to believe that latinos, for some reason, they are a one topic community, which is basically based on immigration. and i think latinos got very upset about this because in the end, no matter where you're black, latino, or asian. i think we've got to move forward into the future in it when we see each other beyond the color of anybody of 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. it's important that we realize black people are not monolithic, and we actually do appreciate policy just because the president has your color, your confession does not mean that your policies will benefit. you are always be in

line with your views. well, identity politics when or counted at elections in the future, i think it's only going to lose. i think it's going to continue to lose and that terrify a lot of people, that terrorize a lot of very powerful people because they built their identities on it. so to speak, they it, the whole, the whole identity politics. mission is something that people built a lot of careers on all the talk about equity, which is of course, stealing one group, giving to another, propping one group up over another sort of leveling the playing field by targeting certain groups now which groups deserve that is always going to be shifting and i don't you well to is their greatest weapon to do that at the moment. so i think i, did it politics actually still stars a very powerful wrong p. and l., the electorate. reparations was due to people who were descendants of slaves. and so if that's the case and in african-americans began to swell around the issue,

democratic fight. oh gosh, we're in trouble to need to that topic. we saw it in the election result that the voter, the american border is really interested in. what are you going to do for me? how my going to live another day? how am i going to put foot of the table? we have a lot of people that have like serious issues and we need to just focus on the things that people are concerned about. the economy put in front of the table, sender. it gets to school and being able to have a decent life and reaching the american dream. new revelations concerning the trump administration's foreign policy have come to light after a high ranking diplomat admitted to keeping the president in the dark regarding troops on the ground in syria. the state official who is now retiring has said that they actually is much higher than officially stated. we were always playing show games to not make clear to our leadership. how many troops we have there. the u.s. military round up operations in syria in 2014 with the publicly known current

number of troops standing at around 600. the pentagon insists they are fighting the remnants of terror groups in the region that are trying wanted a withdrawal from syria, apart from a few 100 soldiers to guard the country's oil wells. but according to the diplomats, the army did not pull out. when the situation in northeast syria had been fairly stable, after we defeated isis, trump was inclined to pull out. in each case, we then decided to come up with 5 better arguments for why we needed to stay. and we succeeded both times. that's the story. we spoke to professor and middle east analyst at joshua landis, who believes it would be naive to think the president wasn't in the loop. well, somebody like jeffery 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 watched 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 are 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 my, my hunch is the president was aware of what was going on. and it just wasn't worth his fight to clear out syria or so from manchester university has suspended security staff after they were films painting a black student to the wall. but you know,

you got our record to some who did this morning and what university of mind just everybody kind of says not more. no, you don't close your eyes. no. you see, i think it's a very simple point that i've done says he was racially profiled by the guards who demanded to see his id after claiming he quote, looked like a drug dealer. but 1st a linguistic student says he was left traumatized and the university is calling this a serious incident. we are deeply concerned by these images. we have spoken to the student concerned, launched a full investigation and have suspended the security officers without prejudice pending the results of this investigation. the incident comes after the university security guards were accused of harsh treatment of students protesting its lockdown earlier this month, one student told us the college no longer feels like a safe place to study. i just think that is absolutely disgusting. and i think it's an incredibly recent volley of you know, what we're protesting that actually fundamentally, universities, really,

their priority isn't making campuses a safe environment for students back currently having in any kind of a grasp of science and shouldn't be in threat. and we've been threatened with the potential under kavi regulations, but we haven't specifically, she finds they and then of the organizers of protests as they've been happening on the ground. we have seen an increase of police on campus, including the top kill 18 all the right police. there is the latest headlines here in r.t. international. thank you for joining us. we're back at the top of the hour. well

the demick no, certainly no border is just blind to nationalities as a march, we don't come with the we do a back seat. the whole world beats to the people judge you come in a crisis, please listen to we can do better. we should everyone is contributing nature in our own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is critical to response has been masked. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy people in sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development. only really i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk with all those in the building, but at least nationally big city, bright lights, you jump, but you know geez, and many dangers to play with. and it's also a city where up to $300000.00 crimes are committed every year goes for the last one, but it will be your most. it's still through the reserve least one police officer, effectively $200.00 residents in russia's capital cost on the english. and i would like to me that i will not go up boysen. you know,

it was the people who would have to most 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 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 now from december 20th to the present day, the end of march, the communist control,

a much wider section of the country. the position of this administration has been carefully considered. and we have sought to make it just as clear as we know how to the government's concern 1st. we strongly reserve, at least for the goal of a neutral and independent layo to no outside group of powers threatening no one and free from any domination by fellow americans. they are far away from america. but the world and the security of southeast asia will be in danger. if layoffs loses its neutral independence, i want to make it clear to the american people and all the world that all we want to play os is not.
