a little. late for me but i was reasonable way. friday morning's headlines political divisions in our media deepen as the opposition procedures parliament opposition group stand with military chiefs then calling still on the prime minister to call partially on the step down after he sacked the head of the armed forces saying that his views part of live tented coup a correspondent said the see the bringing up the sleeve to u.k. doctors come out against plans to make coronavirus shots obligatory for front line workers and. the e.u. chief enters open conflict with the head of the biggest member states germany is wanderlei and warns that plans for covert job passports aren't set in stone.

11 am here in moscow good morning from russia this is art international with me kevin though in a focusing 1st and again this friday on events in armenia over the last 24 hours where it's likely to go over the coming weekend it's a country boy a country waking up in turmoil the smalling as the opposition there are military chiefs of called on the prime minister to step down and rejected his offer of snap elections potted recount here hundreds of the prime ministers opponents come overnight outside the parliament building and they're reportedly being encouraged by opposition leaders to stay there to please vote on whether or not to remove him police are monitoring the area no serious clashes reported as of yet but let's go to the seeing constantly response that is the same time with you as it is with us 11 o'clock in the morning though i gather mid day where you are is a key time being banned. why what's will slightly bring us up to speed.

well here ahead in front of the nation national parliament which is i guess for today is going to be the center of everything the center of the political crisis and the most significant events of that day and let me show you a little bit around so as you can see there is heavy police presence in the area officers and basically cordoned off the parliament building and those in right now are changing and those police officers in the front row they don't have firearms only but tons of but the security behind the fence over there well they do have automatic automatic firearms and you know as far as what's going on right now here on the street well you can see people behind me they just kind of wandering around chatting peacefully about the latest news. several dozen opponents of the incumbent prime minister any called question and stayed here overnight demanding

his resignation and from you know what we're seeing here there are they are bracing for a prolonged standoff set up tense barricades loading up and supplies and fire wars i guess this is another sign that the latest round of the power struggle in armenia could be here to stay and was spoke with several people from the crowd some of them were members of the opposition parties and they didn't mince their words when talking about nicole pasha and he's policy. to the newness of the shoe and you mean you know some of the moans haven't changed we call him the prime minister to step down we will make him quits but only through public press show through the constitution we're not seeking decision by force the general stuff simply called him passion and to create yet he decided to branded an attempt at military coup that was the last straw was when he. it's like you know you today we had to get rid of the traits we'll fight to the end this enemy must leave our country to restore

our homeland. everything that you see here a came after a turbulent chain of events in the country's capital yesterday the protests were sparked by or mean is top military command calling on the prime minister to step down claim in and i quote that he is an effective management has led the country to the brink of death paasschen on immediately fired back accusing those who demanded he's resignation of an attempted coup and called to his supporters to take to the streets you know the opposition that backed the military commanders a stage its own rallying your yvonne as fighter jets flew past. him and then now a little the old soldier sloth this is general rules it's still your job god borders on the territorial integrity of army is on this is my order and no one is in disability today with holding this rally and will finish no accidents will sit down at the negotiating table with the opposition for consultations on elections.

well right now it seems like the prime minister is trying to tone it down a bit hectic to his facebook this morning claiming that he has done a lot for the country's military increased salaries and you know bought plenty of new equipment but it's unlikely that that the masses will resonate among hard core opposition that is present here at the parliament and yesterday we saw that the situation on the ground can ask parading fast usually on a lot of good. god god god. god. right now it's a wait and see approach the opposition has called on a massive rally in your of on which is going to start an hour from now. now and of course we're going to keep our fingers on the pulse yeah plus the midday thing we were talking about because same time with you is it is us here in moscow come back

to later than see what happens next constantine rosko from the armenian cavalier of buy for now so than to force the message home opposition supporters blocked here of the streets paralyzing traffic for a while over the last 24 hours personnel himself march through the streets of the capital too with supporters who had this to say. we came to the square answering the call from our prime minister we stand with him to the end he must put an end to all this of course faily is that this form of governmental funds issue is definitely not acceptable to me the government should be challenged to elections in which only the people have the decisive vote we came to see our prime minister of the republic square so the whole world knows that the people support him and an attempted military coup in such difficult times seems an acceptable to me national tensions escalated in november over the signing of a peace deal between armenia and azerbaijan on the disputed region of media's government had vowed victory in the war but the agreement was seen as

a humiliating defeat demonstrators reacted to the true story of a government building in previously they strongly oppose the prime minister's decision to end the fighting without agree but i think that they won't give up the territory ceded under the deal that had agreed to let as about john hold on to key parts of the area to the many many armenians say they will never forgive him for the loss we've got reaction on the developments 1st off from the coming in with the former prime minister of. i think that what he's doing he's doing very deliberately it's a mission given to him by someone from the west we all believe that he came to power with one goal to draw russia away from the southern caucasus from armenia to make russia leave the region so that the turkish military can enter the southern caucasus so that nato can gain a foothold in the region this did not have the support of the military or the

people essentially the whole of civil society demands that the prime minister step down i do not believe that he can survive this. much of the current volatility is being fueled by a top level to speed weaponry the else in the melting pot here during the quarter explains more about. there must always be someone to blame for losing a war what leader would blame himself right he wouldn't be a leader for much longer that was the dilemma hanging over prime minister posh and young then he made his move he blamed russian weapons for his country's military defeat in a go in a car in autumn he said russia's electronic warfare systems could not handle turkish drones used by azerbaijan's armed forces the prime minister's attack on russia's military industrial complex added that the russian made is skandia missiles either did not explode or quote exploded 10 percent it's not exactly clear what the pm meant by that were only 10 percent of the missiles launched did

missiles hit only 10 percent of their targets neither statement has any confirmed substance behind it since no evidence was provided to back paasschen yon's claims what is known is that such unreliable weaponry would clearly never be accepted into russian military service or by those who buy moscow's weapons like the armenian military which paasschen yon is now at odds with in fact russia's ministry of defense says none of their iskenderun missile systems were in any way involved in the nuke or in a car conflict giving russia's defense officials the impression that posh and yon's been given inaccurate information. according to the objective unreliable information available to us no miso systems of this time were used during the conflict it's appears that armenian prime minister. was misled and used information. the deputy chief of the general staff rejected the prime minister's claims about the unreliability of russian equipment calling his

statement frivolous he then lost his post a chain reaction ensued with the military demanding paasschen younes resignation and then the chief of the general staff himself was dismissed and all that brought us to today standoff in front of the government buildings with the fate of the armenian state itself hanging in the balance. expert has told us the only democratic way out of this crisis is to go to snap elections. should be up to the people to decide their form of government spent certainly the military will want to have their say they're upset you know that they lost the war. they want to make sure that they have a stake in the outcome of the next election you know they really want to force men to a position where he asked to leave office and we'll just see how the prime minister is airports here at maneuver and handle such a delicate situation people looking to blame people or contrary to their sickly

except a new reality which is to have lost a lot of territory but it didn't start the war machine and wasn't to blame for that it's the military in the buildup for many years of not harming the military properly and not seeing much as it is we're going to see it try and physically remove him or lock him up to take care of her and in a normal sort of military coup they would lose a lot of the jitteriness she had certain times they were continually pushing and so i think the election solution is the best for everybody including physiology and the opposition has a very good chance of winning so if they have sensed it will drop because we don't want clashes and street refuse to shoot demonstrations perhaps meeting each other fighting it out or the only coming in and finding some resistance from other forces sort of elections is the best solution for everybody. other news this morning the health attorneys have warned against it reported u.k. plans to make over jobs mandatory for some work is pointing out it may be illegal

under current legislation and is chief medical officer than already telling health stuff that getting an ocular it is the duty and the national health service n.h.s. is reportedly considering making it a blanket free for certain employees but n.h.s. dr paul guild spoke to us he says some medical workers would see that as an attack on their autonomy. the idea of making next a nation compulsory is very shortsighted you need to understand the damage that has been done to the trust of the medical profession given the government's already chaotic and much criticized handling of the endemic we've already lost a 1000 health and social. work force due to the pandemic people have been working exhaustingly long hours have witnessed tragic scenes and to attack their professional judgment and autonomy by making this compulsory i think is another

straw to break the camel's back or especially given the background 5 about tell about next u.k. medical chiefs now saying the number of coronavirus patients has dropped and pressure on the n.h.s. is easing officials suggested the country's covert alert level should therefore be downgraded with that in mind bob gilligan says mandatory not kill ation could backfire if you make vaccination part of your terms of employment then what does a doctor do if you risk losing their job losing the profession that they've studied and worked so hard for or they comply so it's quite a big stick to beat the profession with. i don't think anybody could argue against the evidence for vaccination and what the government should try to do is understand if there is significant reluctance why that is so all those all provide the more information but not to coerce them it was the 3rd early on in that and then me

which showed the vast majority all doctors certainly felt that the government had completely missed. the coronavirus and derek and that confidence nothing has really happened to improve that confidence in government. next could this be a boost for the flagging travel industry just a couple of months away well it'll likely come if it does in the form of a covert vaccination digital pass that more and more people are talking about including the german chancellor that's that's the point with respect to digital vaccination bass all member states agree that when he says a thing the technical preparations were done by the european commission as well as member states in january now we need to implement this so that there is compatibility among different national passes we in germany have decided that it will develop such a vaccination the key data that is digital past mass contain had been defined by the european commission and member states. but didn't jump the gun with the european commission president yet to confirm anything solid shala dubinsky report.

vaccine certificates of controversial put it does seem after what angle of local said that this could be completely full the huge germany and france were originally said to be resistant to this idea but the fact that she's now giving it the green light well that is a game changer but while it seems that merkel was saying that this had been proved there was a bit of a different story coming out from the leaders in the official statement it wasn't so sure essentially saying that they won't be a common approach and this will be an issue will be visited this is what will delay and that say on the vaccine certificates. indeed we discussed this topic as you know there are still a number of open question political question the 1st one is of course what these certificates will be used for but they're also scientific question that are still

open sort of computer will affect good but let's immediately drop attention to the fact that when i say health pass that cannot depend on one's vaccination because if we manage at some point in the spring to reopen some of these places we cannot condition the regulars on whether one has been vaccinated when we wouldn't have even opened a vaccination campaign to the youngest of the call for a vaccine stipulated originally came from countries like greece and cyprus who are already green lit their own plans to allow travelers from the u.k. and from israel to go there at holiday this year if they can show that they've been and not kill a to but there's huge criticism of this idea especially given the massive problems there have been rolling up the couvade 900 vaccine here in the u. many feel that this would essentially create a 2 tier system it would be unfair of form of discriminations there have also been many major issues surrounding the supply of coke with 900 vaccines distribution

issues in lower ringback than expected deliveries and. worse still some european leaders have been pretty sniffy about some of the vaccines particularly the astra zeneca vaccine now the e.u. leaders following their baby and home for insulin says they also claim quickly for beijing all the coke $900.00 vaccines this is what the joint statement from clearly does have to say we need to urgently accelerate the authorization production and distribution of back since as well as vaccination russia says it's ready to step up and send doses of sputnik to the e.u. to vaccine was recently given a glowing report in the medical journal alone states which ranked as being one of the most effective vaccines against the virus the e.u. has said it would purchase me but of course that will be subject to regulatory approval coming up we're going to tell you about this because stick around it could be a game changer astray or parsing the world's 1st law forcing google and facebook to

pay for news content one of the implications of the. backscatter financial survival guide liquid assets how does it you can convert it into gas quite easily. to keep in mind now as if you mean to place a large geyser board. when i was still seems wrong. why don't we all just don't hold. any ol up to seep out just be educated and in detroit because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we just in the common ground.

up. when a trauma. changes literally it causes a chemical change. and this changes the way or genes function. sometimes for generations. love use russia 247 this is r.t. international good morning for me kevin owen so next that australia has become the 1st country to force tech giants to pay publishers for news content the laws designed to make facebook or google pair of fair pay a fair price to the media facebook have taken the president to stop of blocking

news posts in australia recently for a bit until the government made changes to the legislation trinity chavis reports. facebook is refreshing australia after a tumultuous month that saw facebook poll news from its platform and protests the tech giant will restore news pages in the country following a landmark agreement with the government experts say more countries may follow the internet platforms need to comply with the rule of law or if they are doing business in australia australia officially implementing a law that forces tech titans including google and facebook to pay local media outlets and publishers to link their content in news feeds or in search results the whole purpose of the humanitarian crisis has been to give a strong incentive to the digital platforms to do commercial deals with the struggling news media businesses google already striking deals with major australian news businesses in recent weeks including news corp and 7 west media while facebook is promising to pay $1000000000.00 over 3 years to the news industry

adding that the social media platform has invested a $600000000.00 since 2018 we're working across the full range of the areas where it is important to make sure that the rule of law applies in relation to all of the things that we do online with the internet and the bipolar vices of modern life the so-called news media bargaining code comes just days after the government introduced some last minute amendments to the proposed bill after fierce pushback from both google and facebook we have agreed to make some clarifications to the code when it comes to the designation process by the treasurer of a particular digital platform a one month notice period will be put in place the country's unprecedented new law has been vigorously debated in recent months facebook even shut down news pages in opposition of the legislation last week those actions were completely indefensible after serious back and forth australia's treasurer josh frydenberg and facebook

chief executive mark zuckerberg finally came to an agreement or facebook has refer . a stray in return facebook agreed to restore the news pages and live to ban on australians accessing and sharing news australian officials say this new law will ensure news media businesses are fairly compensated for content they generate now many are wondering if there will be similar legislation implemented in other countries already facebook is exploring potential news licensing agreements in canada while microsoft is working with european publishers to push big tech platforms to pay for news and new york native chavez r.t. radio host curry house i'm told this new legislation is fully justified. it's very simple it's as if in the old days you publish a newspaper and then somebody came and stole your newspaper put it in their own stand and then added their own ads to it and made a profit and didn't give you anything back for it well there would be

a problem there have been always for many many years and lawsuits because of it so clearly it's that time now when facebook has done enough stealing the already steal our data it's worth billions of dollars where i went who i talk to who my friends are who my friends are not what do i eat all of that and i get nothing 0 for them to sell and resell and resell that data in the united states right now corporations are much more powerful than government facebook wants to own everything its goals are to own everything does facebook want the new york times to be the newspaper of record no facebook wants facebook to be there's no editor in chief of the internet hello you can publish a blog and boy if you make it look good it looks like the new york times that people don't know the difference that's been facebook's conceit ever since 2006 it is the largest news organ other than yahoo in the world it's not going away. some of these in brief protesters gathered to support the hunger strike of

of has been finding out. was whether its munich's october fest all colognes carnival plays a leading role in germany's big celebrations covert has hit those parties hard as the need to implement coronavirus measures that seemed cancelled and bars and restaurants closed which in turn has had a knock on effect for brewers really bad this is situation of the smaller breweries because say they're often selling their bureaus in restaurants shops and see no pops and restaurants are closed since november so there is no real sales at the moment for them beer sales of actually being declining in germany for a while now understood to be due to health concerns but over the last year they have gone off a cliff 17.3 percent down on a year on year sales for april 14 point one percent down for november some have

looked to diversify to move with the times when a court in bavaria overturned a ruling banning the sale of alcohol in public spaces last month this brewery in munich set up a vending machine. so we have here the mobil tank which was created with 2 other companies and here you have fresh 10 beer in the you can tap using the yap all the have to do is download the top of your credit card and then if you scan secure code you can type directly through there up and also be contact less so that is also entirely covered conformant while a brewery near nuremberg saw a rush on their lock down creation named vaccine the 2000 cans they produced selling out in just over 3 hours cans and bottles they usually the territory of the larger produces the vast majority of germany small brew is sell direct to bars and

restaurants or. all of which are closed with no real indication when they'll reopen the german government towers provided financial aid and while it has helped it isn't a solution over 300 brewers have signed an open letter sent to angela merkel's government warning of an existential crisis in the industry while a lot of the talk has been about getting schools shops and hairdressers open there's no end in sight to covert restrictions on the hospitality industry if i can open i have to take on more debt but i really need an opening date i understand that it's difficult with the situation as it is but if i don't have an opening date i don't know. how much money i will need to until that day and i constantly will need to keep looking for more money somewhere and this is just it's i'm just immense challenge and eventually it will not work any more and eventually water won't make any sense this breweries use the time that they've been closed during the pandemic to upgrade production facilities in order to allow them to sell beer

in pounds but that's all comes with extra costs and extra costs come with extra risks just by a government support alone it's impossible to survive this so it's just more and more debt and eventually it's already almost impossible to get money from banks because they're seeing the situation as it is and why would they give businesses that are basically bankrupt at this stage why would they give them money so it shows private investor state you rely on that you hope that they were believe in the business believe that it can come back strong the hope is that scenes like these can be seen again by the summer before he is over the variance of covert 19 spreading through germany as many painting a less than rosy image for the remainder of 2021 which will likely lead to a continuation of restrictions in some form all of which will take a serious toll on germany's breweries peter all over. fingers

crossed for a better time soon i know just keep your eye on what's happening in armenia a few story interests you are to bill cohen our regular bulletins throughout the day for though coming out of the team something off thanks for watching. according to a new goal of over 60 percent of those are just satisfied with the 2 major parties the country is divided politically but the parties themselves are divided we did into this most voters do either party is it finally time to move on from this.
