'd you and bodies on board, which sends a message to critics of russia in the west, for example, that blamed russia for so to see monopolizing the settlement of the nagorno-karabakh called the peace deal, however, has shifted attention from the front line to armenia, where protesters continue to demand, the prime minister, quit for what they see as a humiliating defeat. saturday, saw on the 11th day of the rest, and you're a man which has seen clashes and rioting over the government's agreement to the truce. you know, all in azerbaijan, the troops have entered the district in karbala,
8:05 am
which was ceded to baku as part of the peace deal. the event was celebrated at a local mosque with the 1st friday prayers and 27 years are just more of our staff reports. in 1993, the city of baghdad was seized by armenian forces. the nuchal population was evicted, expelled the never since then. it has been a goose city. no one has lived there until now. a short bus ride later we had done what new journalist has that in years crossed the front lines of no god and they got up. this is the 1st time since the war began. that we've been able to get into territory that is controlled by the, as yet by johnny army. and these, this was only yesterday, under the control of pro armenian forces. as a result of the ceasefire. on the 10th of november, that both sides signed the armenian side as their budget on the side with the help of russian mediators. this area ag city and the down province region were handed
8:06 am
over peacefully by the armenian side too. is it about time for them? this is a very big occasion because this mosque in the center of adam city, has been a symbol of the war in the is it about johnny side 3 decades ago? 40000 people lived there by johnnie's, who were expelled from the area, forced to leave, and have been refugees ever since talking about the process we're going to go to i have just come back to my hometown of thank god for 27 years i lived in exile in those barbarians destroyed our city by one of these is a landmark movement by john righteous and ceremonial. the 1st prayers that i've done mosque in 27 years learn you not only a little bit of
8:07 am
the is it about john? the military wouldn't speak to us in camera. well, we got out of them is that justice had been done. adam was there as was about being able to go to that was what i hate, is it that it doesn't care about people? yes. when you come to that issue of guilt, sure you will feel normal. so i'm going to give you a good idea that you build with his style to it, but it's a disservice just not special. but if there's still an incredible amount of work that needs to be done, the devil is in the details. this is why russian peacekeepers and their buddy forces that arrived during the night took the area over a meeting for hours on end. they need to sort out lines of control and where each outpost will be. but they said about john. the checkpoints will be manned by said about joining forces right next. the russian peacekeeper outposts back to back despite the number of peacekeepers and as yet about johnny troops an ag down. there was little tension. soldiers and peacekeepers talked and joked. it's felt by all
8:08 am
sides. the war is over. we have good relations with both the armenians and does eries, those okie playing the positions vacated by the armenian army. of course the conflicting sides, but the conflict is over. for my part, i would like to say that i'm very glad that today we've sealed the deal to settle a years long conflict between armenia and azerbaijan. i saw the decision has been taken as a result of analysis of the military situation and based on the sentiments of people who have been most for me there and with the military situation. at this point, the ceasefire deal has been a success. refugees, flock back to their homes. heavy weaponry is god groups, arup and, and everyone is meeting their obligations. there's no love lost to be sure. but with every new day there is less and less cause for another war. or i guess the of

from the go to make out about a week before the u.s. state of nevada certifies its election results. republicans have filed a number of lawsuits to halt the process. yes, citing every day ladies and voter fraud. one claim, alleges native american voters were swayed by gifts through improper outreach programs by politically biased organizers. mainstream media have called them for joe biden. 533000 votes there around 60000 voting age. native americans in the state. republicans claim they were lured to vote democrat through a gift scheme by a left aligned nonprofit group, but they were going station denies any political leaning as artie's come up in reports in nevada's tribal areas. voter participation was being encouraged by a nonprofit, some very nice prizes were handed out in order to encourage people to vote in the 2028 presidential election. there were even $500.00 gift cards. the nevada native
8:10 am
voting project said it had no agenda. it simply want to do increase election participation and because it did not seem to be partisan. the nevada indian commission, a state agency, had no problem getting involved on that of that indian commission. facebook page 6 posts offering gift cards of the a raffle share. in addition to that, the nevada indian commission offered its own prizes, raffling off 3 major pieces of art to those who voted. people may not be aware, but encouraging people to vote with rewards is illegal. whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate shall be fined under this title or imprisoned. but nobody got the memo. and in fact, a reno sparks, indian colony official was even filmed handing out the loot. we have $25.00, i did $25.00 gift cards to round off from a lot of money. and here,
8:11 am
the excuse is that this is simply a nonpartisan effort not aimed at helping any candidate or party. except there are indications to the contrary. nevada is a swing state, and nevada has over 60 pounds 1000 registered native american voters could really make the difference in our state's them make, change it out here, get some biden harris, campaign swag. as you can see have mass, they have a t. shirts, signs stickers, all kinds of hand sanitizer. all right guys, you have it there. she has them buy it and put these for you all to support our if they see to get out the vote. get to the polls and vote partly think it's best. the facebook page of the native voter project even shared a post from an ngo called the native organizers alliance. and that made clear that there an aim was to flip the electoral map from red to blue. not surprisingly, a lawsuit was filed by the nevada republican party. there was scheme set up to give
8:12 am
voters something of value raffle tickets. t. shirts, other things like that if they would come in and vote something that violates federal law, something that violates nevada law. now the nevada native voter project says they didn't do anything wrong. they say that this was simply had nonpartisan effort to encourage voting. and furthermore, they point out that no member of their staff or any other volunteers ever attended any biden heris events. however, their statements did leave out those $500.00 gift cards. u.s. officials have actually condemned the government of venezuela for offering incentives to encourage voter participation. but in nevada, i guess it's ok. now keep in mind that native americans vote pretty consistently for the democratic party. it looks like a state agency was involved in a very targeted campaign to encourage vote participation from a constituency that leans a certain way. nothing reeks of clan transparent elections than handing out
8:13 am
valuable freebies and prizes to encourage certain people to vote in america. at least, you know, we don't think that there would be any corruption in our government. and so you would assume that this would be a non party non-state actor or organization that was just corrupted doing something wrong. so when we see things like in nevada, where you have the state of the warranties, you have a government authority participating in this scheme, participating in these things that you fear with our election. that's what's been most troubling. i think for the american population, of course, in other countries, people are used to governments that might be corrupt and state officials that might be corrupt. and in america, we're finally starting to see that that has happened. that's the most troubling thing would nevada, joe biden has dismissed the trump team's efforts to question the election result calling them irresponsible. and he's repeatedly called for unity and an end to partisan warfare. that there are signs that not all of his supporters are on board

america and concerns are being raised over the technical challenges in distributing a major new coronavirus vaccine. pfizer and by untag have applied for emergency use of their job in the u.s. . but it will have to be stored and transported at minus 70 degrees celsius. their reality is there has never been a drug that requires storage at this temperature is a logistical nightmare for rural communities. but no one is mean to the challenges, distributing the fact scene photos for the medical industry. very few cargo companies have the capacity to transport goods at minus 70 which is colder than the south pole. in fact, many firms don't even have the facilities to reach minus 20, and that's not the only logistical challenge expected, particularly,
8:17 am
and poor and remote areas of the pfizer biotech, sexy need special deep freeze suitcases which can be used for just 10 days. also requires dry ice, which is a hazardous material, and few hospitals or pharmacies have ultra cold freezers. yet pfizer remains confident. we've already produced more than 20000000 doses in our cars and to continue as we speak, producing more and more. this is why we said the baby had to leave here, which we expect will actually 50000000 doses that you can distribute to the world. we spoke to a senior clinical lecturer at britain's university of exeter medical school. he says it's important for different vaccines to be created across the world to provide choice. well, it's very important to maintain what you would call the cold chain extremely important. otherwise, you are injecting people with substandard or the nature of vaccine, and it is a waste of time resources and everything else. so it is very,
8:18 am
very important to make sure that the vaccines when they leave their live oratory, where it is made to where the patient is going to receive it is maintained always at the right temperature. you either have facilities to transport them or you use other vaccines and there is no reason to suspect that the other work scenes are inferior. once they're licensed, they're licensed and we know that they are good enough for the job. therefore, it's very good to know that there are also other vaccines made by other platforms. also coming on stream in given time. still had verities requiem is being performed in moscow to mark the anniversary of the nuremberg trials after world war 2. explain its importance after the break.

8:21 am
but i'm sort of the use of force and the sort of cases. a former detective chief superintendent in london told us victims of crime care more about quality of policing and a quality all the public lumps when they call police. and this is true all over the world, whether it's russia or frogs or whereabouts, the police to turn up quickly when they call them for help. the place to solve the problem, be professional, and then let them know what happened about the incident of which they're not all that. whether all they get a black, asian chinese or japanese heritage police officer turning up solves that problem, nor they pull that, whether they're male or female guy, all whatever. what they want is a professional representative of the state justice if you like to turn up and do the job properly. if you're a couple of junior level police officers patrolling in your new york police car and
8:22 am
you use a piece of black news, who you know, are bad or worse and you think you should go and speak to the maybe so you've got a decision there. do you want to risk a confrontation? do you want to risk a horrible thought perhaps? do you want to risk complaints of the birth of racist violence, but i can shoot them possibly risk your joke or do you want to carry on down the road to the gas station? get a coffee and a cup of donuts. will the choice for all police officers is clearly stice go to the gas station, get a coffee, and a some donuts. if you emasculate the police, continually threatening them with complaints. the police are not going to do their job. they are not going to keep ordinary people in sight, regardless of the color. black white chinese heritage and so on.
