friday evening at 11 here in moscow of money is called a bright welcome to world news for a moxie international going to start with the latest developments in the south caucasus the opposition in armenia is continuing to hold a mass rally in the capital opponents of the prime minister and now preparing for a 2nd night camped outside the parliament building and yet they vowed to stay there until they call passion and resides constant force. the biggest news of the last couple of hours in armenia is the outcome of the meeting between the opposition leaders and the country's president now why this meeting is so important well for one there is a pretty intense standoff between the armenian political leader prime minister nicola pasha now and he stopped military command army generals called on to resign accusing him of being incompetent the prime minister fired back accuse a military in an attempted coups that's the story that's been playing out since yesterday now partially now wanted to give blood to the chief of the general staff . the armenian armed forces for being too political and disloyal and that would
3:02 pm
have been a show of force for the prime minister but he cannot follow through with this until the president of the country signs off on that order and that's when the latest meeting at the presidential office came into play at 1st it seemed like the opposition has one over there president convincing him to send the order of back to the prime minister's office however those claims weren't officially approved later on and as for now it's more likely that the negotiations are still underway we should not forget though that the prime minister over media still has more political power according to the local constitution and the sacking of the chief of the general staff can still happen even without president's approval is just going to take more time anyway how bad signaled that be ongoing power struggle in armenia moving from the streets towards big political offices although protesters are still present in the capital and right now where you can see several hundreds of people
3:03 pm
that are still demonstrating in front of the national parliament put on music putting on some passive mood to boost their spirit as some of them are going to stay here overnight and the opposition a vow that they are not going anywhere from this place until they called pushing down steps down so let's hear from the people we met here earlier so who knows the shoe and you mean the moans haven't changed we call in the prime minister to step down we will make him quits but only through public trust show through the constitutional will seeking decision by force lovers love general stuff simply call them a passion and to quito she gets to decide to be president in attempts at military coups it will affect there was the last straw as well if it's it was like you working today we had to get to the trade to fight to the end enemy must leave our country to restore our homeland. passion and has faced protest and calls to resign after what his critics say. it was the disaster is handling of
3:04 pm
a bloody 6 week conflict between his service john and ethnic armenian forces over their region of last year that conflict ended in significant territory losses for armenian side and as you can see the country is still reeling from that be it or defeat. to force that message home opposition supporters blocked the streets and out of town on thursday paralyzing traffic the passionate himself through the streets of the capital with his supporters who had this to say. link. that up 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 failing but this form of governmental transition 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
3:05 pm
acceptable to me a much of the current volatility has been fueled by a top level dispute over weaponry the prime minister earlier claimed that russian made its kind of missile systems had failed jurek last autumn's brief war without a by shot but the russian defense ministry says armenia didn't use that weapon in the conflict of an accord i care about. is a. child left look at michael goodchild of the devil is. why the iskenderun that fired did not explode or only exploded 10 percent off. the tank. the prime minister and the government of army are no longer able to make adequate decisions in this fateful and critical situation for the armenian people given the current situation
3:06 pm
of the home forces of the resignation of the prime minister and the government. that the. outcome. national tensions escalated in november after the signing of that peace deal between armenia and azerbaijan over the disputed care about region the armenian government victory in the war but the agreement was seen as a humiliating defeat that then demonstrators reacted to the truce by storming the government building it. they strongly oppose the prime minister's decision to end the fighting and said they weren't willing to give up the territory that was ceded
3:07 pm
under the deal and had agreed to let azerbaijan to hold on to key parts of the area many armenians though say they'll never forgive him for the loss. but let's bring in caucasus and eurasia expert pietro shikari and from ohio state university it's good to have you on art see undoubtedly this is the biggest pressure that the premier of armenia is faced in his 2 years in charge there protestors outside parliament how crucial the next 2448 hours for him to get a grip on this. they're extremely crucial for him to get a grip on the situation it's not clear i mean he may try to survive this short term but in the long term done irreparable damage to his reputation and his ability to control the situation right now the situation is spiraling out of his control and the fact that he's lost the support of the military is just i mean it is a that's
3:08 pm
a huge blow to his pop very very significant blow because to some extent he relied on the army in the security forces to kind of allow him to stay so he losing control the situation very fast and i can't imagine him even if you decide even if you are able to stay on in the next few days or even weeks in the long term he's not going be able to survive this passion and he will say he's the person who came to power as a result of the will of the people that's what he tried to rally yesterday and he had a van and thousands turned out in his defense and had his support so how pivotal is that military support then in the greater scheme of things i think it's extremely pivotal because even the popular support he had eroded over the years now there is the vote i would say 30 to 35 percent of the population in armenia really would follow russian got anywhere and that's really very croce but even that number is
3:09 pm
now diminishing very fast and the military is very crucial because it's 1st of all it's very strong and it's also one of the most trusted state institutions in armenia so for his for him to lose that support that's very significant even if he has some popular support in the streets. i can't imagine him surviving this in the end because even with that popular support the loss the military support him more or less i mean this is the beginning of the end for him on this far as the opposition is concerned that because they've been to meet the president but it is also a parliamentary republic isn't it so is this symbolic blow or an actual one. well this is a more or less a symbolic blow because already the president made his intention no under his sentiments knowing that he wanted to resign and the opposition of course shares
3:10 pm
that desire as well so for them to meet with the president. this is not unexpected developments and also i should note that the frustration of the opposition is not just about the result of the out of our war that's just the straw that broke the camel's back there's a whole history of of incompetence a whole record of gross incompetence by nicole posh unions government since it came to power you know and one of the most recent ones was his horrible horrible mishandling of the covert crisis in armenia the cold but the cold in 1900 m. it so for instance you look at neighboring georgia it's one of the post soviet countries with the lowest tastes of coping that handled it the best where is our mean you know is the worst affected host soviet country in terms of the cold it pandemic and this is largely the result of nicole questioning un's incompetence and that's just one example there are many others so this tension has been boiling up
3:11 pm
for a long time the war in qana park pushed it over the edge significantly pushed it over the edge and for any european leader to consent to the loss of territory and also to consent to the ethnic cleansing of army in terror for a sleepover just that to most certainly this is unconscionable but it will he is losing support very fast but i'm going to say in many ways it's a just a victim of circumstance was his hand forced in terms of the ceasefire day long ago and i kind of back and with many leaders around the world handling the pandemic most opposition to what in hindsight on that. well but see here's the difference the 1st one we talk about the pandemic he was able to see by the time pandemic really got armenia he was. able to see what other governments were doing right and wrong he could have learned from that but instead he acted very responsibly on that issue because quote i'm carbolic on her back he was warned by his own military and
3:12 pm
he was warned by the russians and he was warned by c.s.t. oh that turkey and i was there were some are planning an attack a war and this but you should do everything in your power to prevent that and she apparently did not see those warnings very seriously and brought army notes of the situation where it was in in or so then we can say his hand was forced into peace agreement yes but that was after all these missteps that 1st of all led armenia and cut up awkward stock into a war and 2nd of all led him to lose that war so it's not just a matter that you know it was forced on me he's done several missteps along the way it's been good to get your insight on the region on this tonight patricia carreon thanks for joining us on r.t. . thank you for. a long awaited and now declassified u.s. intel reports has directly implicated the saudi crown prince over the brutal murder
3:13 pm
of journalist jamal khashoggi and 2800 and well could set the tone for the biden government's relations with what should be a strategic partner the big question now is will the president go all out with punishing rebuke of the united states biggest gulf allies let's go live to our correspondent kind of moping for more on this just full pages kaleh but it's pretty unequivocal isn't it. indeed we have the declassified intelligence reports about the killing of jamal khashoggi now the report pretty strongly alleges that the crown prince of saudi arabia basically approved a plan to capture or kill jamal khashoggi take a listen. at the time of. the crown prince probably an environment in which a. failure to complete a sign tasks might result in him firing over the wrist and through such as the aides were unlikely to question mahmud been summoned soldiers under sensitive
3:14 pm
actions without his consent. now the report comes to its conclusions based on their assessment of the high level of control that the crown prince has over the security services and the intelligence agencies of the kingdom of saudi arabia as well as the involvement of individuals from his personal security detail who were involved in the killing now it doesn't provide any concrete proof but it simply says that it is highly unlikely that the crown prince of saudi arabia was not personally involved in making this decision it's highly unlikely now it's important to note that that the intelligence community also stated that it does not know if the team actually traveled to stumble with the intention of killing jamal khashoggi or if this decision was made after they had already arrived so that remains in question as well now it's important to note this is going to probably strain u.s.
3:15 pm
saudi relations we've already heard that the state department has announced what it calls the coup shoji ban which will restrict visas on $76.00 individuals that the state department believes was that were involved in the operation to kill jamal khashoggi now before this report was released there was a phone call between the king of saudi arabia and u.s. president joe biden they actually had a phone call and it's important to review the series of events that went on you know and it's important to talk about how essentially what's going on here is quite different than you by the administration seems to have a different approach to saudi arabia than we've seen over the past 4 years let's review. president's intention as is the intention of this government is to. to recalibrate are engaged with saudi arabia and to have counterparts communicate with counterparts of course this is a crime as i said before shock the conscience expects. that we
3:16 pm
will be in a position. before long to speak to steps to promote accountability going forward for this horrific crime. now there are reports that there could be plans for sanctioning specific saudi officials in response to this but those reports are not yet confirmed now it's been a while since the killing of jamal khashoggi and we'll call it 1st the king of saudi arabia denied any involvement in the decision let's kind of review how things have gone down since the killing of how the reaction of the united states and the world has proceeded.
3:17 pm
now the brutal killing of jamal khashoggi certainly a shock the world in the way it was carried out and many are looking at this and saying this will probably be remembered as a rather negative turning point in relations between the united states and one of its longtime allies the kingdom of saudi arabia ok next move joe biden ok for now caleb maupin thanks for the. go without say from moscow still ahead europe looks to vaccination passports to get the confidence back on the move but not everyone thinks they'll feel the travel will get on to that among all stories after the break.

health attorneys have warned against reported u.k. plans to make covert jabs mandatory for some workers pointing out that it could be illegal immigrants chief medical officers already told health stuff that getting an ocular lated is their duty and the state run national health service is reportedly considering making it obligatory for certain employees but n.h.s. dr bob guild told us that some medical workers see it as an attack on their autonomy the idea of making the nation compulsory is very shortsighted you need to understand the damage has been done to the trust of the medical profession
3:20 pm
even the government's already chaotic and much criticized and the and emmy we've already lost a 1000 health and social. work all 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. and a separate development u.k. medical chiefs say the number of coronavirus patients has dropped and pressure on the n.h.s. is easing officials suggest the country's covert alert level should now be downgraded with that in mind bob go again says that mandatory inoculation could backfire. if you make vaccination part of your terms of employment then what does a doctor do if it erode their risk losing their job losing the profession that they've studied and worked so hard for or they comply there's quite
3:21 pm
a big big to be 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 support those will provide the more information but not to coerce them it was the 3rd early on in the pandemic which showed the vast majority all doctors certainly felt that the government had completely missed and all the krona virus and derek and that confidence nothing has really happened to improve the corporate and government. also in the u.k. over 200000 people have signed a petition urging the government not to introduce vaccine passports means the issue could now be debated in parliament but with 30 travel across europe heavily restricted many are putting their hopes they could get things moving again and clued in the german chancellor at this point with the respect to digital vaccination bass all member states agree that when he says
3:22 pm
a thing the technical preparations were done by the european commission as well as member states in january now when you temper man that's said that there's comfortability among different national passes we in germany have decided that it will develop such a vaccination that the key data that has digital passed mass contain have been defined by the european commission and member states. or some southern e.u. states like greece and spain which are heavily dependent on tourism are pushing to adopt an occupation certificates quickly but the idea is facing high level resistance as well. 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 there are also scientific question that are still open meantime the vaccination programs encountered some severe setbacks including shortages of doses and supply delays we heard about the possible drawbacks of
3:23 pm
vaccine certificates from a member of germany's the left party and also a specialist in emergency medicine from the u.k. . solution is not yet available to everyone and causes problems because it can become someone last time can access sources only used to hold us and passport but to. do with a unique problem we see people who can't get to see a young person for example who's just difficult to time or someone totally who is not likely to get seen before the end of that you know if you learn to con going on to do because you don't hold works in passport. that will be really unfair lose young people everyone can decide on their all whether they want to vaccinate and everyone has to decide on their own which of the vaccinations they want we need vaccine charts because as it currently stands in many european countries we do not
3:24 pm
have that shots in germany for example we only have western vaccines young people younger than 6 years of age cannot get any kind of explanation at the moment so the discrimination there would follow if your borders only poor people who have chosen to get vaccinated would be immense it would be the kind of the kind of discrimination that we haven't seen for over 70 years in europe. australia has become the 1st country to force tech giants to pay publishers for news content laws designed to make the likes of facebook and google pay a fair price to media outlets facebook had taken the unprecedented step of blocking these posts in australia until the government made changes to the legislation trinity chavez reports. facebook is refreshing australia after a tumultuous month that's all 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

the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interests what you see in this these techniques is the state devising methods to him to essentially destroy the personality of an individual. by scientific means this is how one doctors theories well allegedly used in psychological warfare against prisoners deemed a danger to the state that was the foundation the method of psychological interrogation psychological torture of the cia disseminated within the u.s. intelligence community and worldwide. as for the next 30 years the victims say they still live with the consequences today.

our lives how exactly does that work and are these traumas passed as part of our genetic memory. actually they they are when a trauma happens it changes as literally it causes a chemical change in our d.n.a. and this changes the way our genes function sometimes for generations technically a chemical tag will attach to our d.n.a. and tell the cells because of this terrible thing that just happens trauma it will tell the cells to use or ignore these genes so we have a better chance of dealing with their surviving what happened but then the way our genes are affected chain can change how we act or how we feel for example we can become sensitive reactive to situations that are similar to a trauma even if that trauma occurred.
