join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics, sport. i'm showbusiness. i'll see you then. our top stories this tuesday morning on media as president say's early parliamentary elections are inevitable and the government should resign. there are nasty protests over a peace deal with the by john, just spirited region of the corner carabao. international attention grows on russia's covert, 1000 vaccines with israel's prime minister in talks to buy. job. russia's top just tell as well we could get a hold on the pandemic. i'm seeing february and 70 percent of the population will have gotten this infection, but this worse will never disappear from our population. it is another virus which

we need to live with. the e.u. splits on ties with post trump, america with france leading a push for more independence from its ally. and eyeless is the us election shows surprise that shifts with black latino and asian american voters. switching to donald trump, we discussed the issue with our guests or not mentally. and we actually do appreciate alice waters that we've grown very much aware of what's going on. there are going to find a very good morning to you. it's 9 am here in moscow, and you're watching r.t. international with your world news update. but 1st damini as president has demanded, the prime minister quit to and immediate parliamentary elections. mass rallies are

calling the peace deal with azerbaijan on the disputed area of nucor. no care about humiliating a lot easier trying to joins me in the studio to discuss this further. very good morning to you on the prime minister's days numbered. well, hi, i don't have the answer to that question, but i can say that this is the moment when the whole political career of armenian prime minister nicole possibly not is being put to the test. so the pm may end up getting even stronger than he used to be and survive as the head of the government, or he could lose everything that he won in 2008. thing that was only 2 years ago when during the revolution, he kicked the old government out as a result of a popular uprising and came to power. so used to enjoy enormous public support. then came the war of the bloodshed in the poor, me and breakaway republic of you, going on in azerbaijan,

after weeks of intense battles called posturing on how to sign a peace agreement, which meant that the pro armenian clave would lose about a half of the territory that it used to control and then the mood in gary vonn and around the country changed people came out to the streets, chanting get out. and that was the time when the president, who at the moment has less powers than the ply minister. still though, he decided to come out and say that it's time for me to have an early election macbook with 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 concerned 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. i would just say armenians are still is furious as they were last week when the demonstrations fast. well, i can tell you that the unrest can still be felt, but a little earlier sparks were flying. there was violence in the streets just for you to get a picture of just how bad you know, the divisions war, the level of unrest, the scale of fury and division. i just want to show you these pictures from the capital just after that cease fire agreement that was signed. in fact, thanks to russia. so just have a look at what was going on in the capital. so

in the course of that war escalation, it was becoming increasingly clear that there by john and its army was gaining ground, that they were moving away from the front line, capturing new territories. and these are the territories that book who considers it so. and in fact, officially, it's recognized as part of his or by john, by the international community. but to call pasha is justifying his move by saying that he had no other choice, but to sign that agreement and at least save. and for the poor,

me and community in the corridor car, back and many armenians, indeed share that position with me called washington, and are grateful to russia for brokering this peace deal. so let's have a listen to what kind of excuse nicole washington puts for us on the picture. 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 before that 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 all the circumstances. how's the whole situation with the pay scale and the aftermath being seen in azerbaijan? well, i can tell you that both the leadership and the people have been celebrating, they're calling it a victory. indeed. i mean, in fact, the 10th of october is being called victory day, the new victory day in azerbaijan. but still,

i can tell you that book who lost many soldiers on the front line and the damage that i cor, occurred to her bridge on the city's both in the conflict zone and away from it was enormous as well. and this is what mr. levy, the homily of the president was, or birds are reminded of in one of his latest statements. 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. heavy damage and scores of casualties on both sides of course. but despite this kind of tone, by the leader of us or by john, but cool is promising that in the land that is now being handed over to us or by

john as a result of the cease fire deal. it will be treated fairly cool in there, promising that there will be no discrimination for the population there. they're promising to treat the armenian like neighbors there, but of course, the wounds of this call flicked. it will take a long time for them to heal, maybe decades, maybe centuries. so we'll keep hearing about the story. definitely. it's a very difficult crisis and we still don't know all the outcomes and circumstances of it that have the best. i mean, i thank you for coming in this morning. well, to remind you under the peace deal, both sides will hold on to their current military positions and gives armenia control of the disputed regions. camps all star panel, azerbaijan gets the 2nd largest city shushi, which it took just before the fighting ended. armenia will also have to hand over 3 other districts in the region. unless the alessandra bruno stays,

the public outcry in armenia over the truce 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 calculation. it was a moving proposition from the start, i mean for everything against the armenian side, or it was important to stop this thing out of your must be released 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. israel's prime minister has held talks with large amir putin on buying russia's covert vaccine is part of growing international interest in the sputnik reach. up,

our correspondent paula slate reports. 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, and 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 the hospital here at just a medical clinic has ordered one and a half 1000000 doses. in russia,

there have been almost 2000000 coronavirus cases that since the spring moscow has the highest number of victims. the republic of be out here in eastern russia has become the 1st to impose another lockdown, closing restaurants, shopping centers, and places of mass gatherings for 2 weeks. we spoke with some of the country's top, the ologists on the development of a vaccine. and when we could get a hold on the pandemic worked. there are now 100 vaccines in the world. yours was the 1st would have developed one, but this is very important. vaccine was still unfinished. it was in the 3rd phase of testing, yet the president said that we have the vaccine. how come you? not the political, it doesn't, you know, it is politics, not science. i can just comment about the scientific part. we had the opportunity for quicker development because of 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 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 t. 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 ago. it's the beautiful when will such a large scale global epidemic? and yet the, because 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. 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. you need to understand the corona 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. there french president mats might pompei off the leading calls for more restraint relations. and the e.u. has a hold as a whole is finding it tough to move on from the tensions with the trump administration. as artesia depends, he reports. for years over the trunk ministration have frayed relations with you that pushed some, such as the french president to advance the ideal of european court order. me. but even the prospect of joe biden heading into the white house is having little effect on emanuel my corns 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 of 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. new while fronts 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 a new era and we need to remodel the transom plan, take relationship with a biden administration. but let's not forget all the internal and who are in the e.u. . miss is one major point. what does the u.s. won't all given the u.s. is own internal divisions. what can its, even if this is not going to be plain sailing, but it will resume classic strategy of

the u.s. to jimmy days, a world and to dominate europe will be many more lives. europe was and is not a good view for i thought we had many illusion always at present sprays, maybe feelings about biden against rahm. but i feel really it's not a good new. and with a new having just slapped for teller, treat taxes on u.s. products in learning, running trade to speak, there are choppy waters still ahead to navigate. joe biden is offering e.u. leaders, his cooperation, saying he wants to reinvigorate bilateral transatlantic ties to nato. and the e.u., yet it's clear out all the good will in the world won't change the fact that the remains of lost between them shall it be. will ski altie paris.

after the break, we look at the unexpected results coming in from analysis of the us presidential election, tally. stay with us for that one else seemed wrong. why don't we all just don't call me old enough to seep out the attic and indeed it was betrayed. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we just are the 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, backed by america's military, 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 crumble. welcome back. it's been 2 weeks since the u.s. presidential election on the outcome is still being disputed. but won't donald trump and joe biden wrangle over, who will get the keys to the white house that many are looking at the campaigning for clues of what went wrong, and whether the focus on identity politics was misplaced. triangle support from one man a group he won decisively in $26.00 days. however, he gained 4 percent with the african-american and hispanic communities. and latino

votes helped swing florida up in his favor. and asian americans shifted even more to the republicans with a 7 percent rise. my colleagues 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, 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 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 to what we could expect in response our vote, they also began to put out some 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 not suffer. 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 divisive 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 we 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 or your confession does not mean that your policies will benefit. you are always be in line with your views. well,

identity politics win or candidates 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 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. well, you know, targeting certain groups now which groups deserve that is always going to be shifting and i didn't want 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 key in 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, democrats to fight. oh gosh, we're in trouble too. 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 putting food on the table. sender, it gets to school and being able to have a decent life and reaching the american dream. trump administration officials played quote, shell games against their own president to hide the real one. but if u.s. troops in syria, that's according to washington's a special and fall into the middle east and country. james, jeffrey who is now retiring say as many more stated then donald trump thought the u.s. military roundup of aeration. since syria and 24 were seen 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 . donald trump wanted a withdrawal from syria, apart from a few 100 soldiers to guard the country's oil wells. but according to the u.s.

envoy, the army did not pull out. 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 stir 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, 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 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 allow for a round up of other news that making headlines around the globe. this is footage of what experts on describing as a highly intense a rupture in one of the world's most active volcanoes, strongbow lay in italy. the blast sent asked flying hundreds of feet into the air. stunning images of a flamboyance of pink flamingos making a pit stop on lake carrick. all in kazakstan. the birds, the migrating to nature reserves in the south for the winter. and staying with animals on water, a happy ending for a 30 friend, a dog which fell into an icy pond, has been rescued. the pitch in western russia was chasing birds when it slipped

into the water. fortunately, emergency services were on hand to save the day. thank you for joining us here on r.t. international. we're back at the top of the hour with all the latest and see that
