6:01 pm
this is our national you are very welcome thanks for choosing us today well let's start off with the natives developments in the south caucasus the opposition in armenia is remaining. in the center of the capital opponents of the prime minister are currently counted out for a 2nd night in front of the parliament building in yerevan now they've run out to stay there until the cold resigns auntie's constantine rushkoff is that for us. 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's top military command army generals called on pashtun to
6:02 pm
resign accusing him of being incompetent the prime minister fired back and he was a military in an attempted coup that's a story that's been playing out since yesterday now partially now wanted to give blood to the chief of the general staff of the armenian armed forces for being too political and disloyal and that would have been a show of force for the prime minister but he can not 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
6:03 pm
to take more time anyway how bad signaled that the 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 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. you mean your list of the months haven't changed we call on the prime minister to step down we will make him quits but only through public pressure through the constitution we're not seeking decision by force general stuff simply called compassion and to create it he decided to be branded an attempt at military coup but that was the last straw so what if it's it was what you want you know today we
6:04 pm
had to get rid of a traitor who will fight to the end this enemy must leave our country to restore our homeland. so passionate has faced protest and calls to resign after what his critics say was that is there a serious handling of a bloody 6 week conflict between his service john and ethnic armenian forces over the region of the last year that conflict ended in significant territory losses for armenian side and as you can see the country is still reeling from that bitter defeat want to force that message home opposition supporters blocked the streets and stay paralyzing traffic passing out himself also watched through the streets of the capital with his 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 failure but this form of governmental friends issues he says if one can not acceptable to me the government
6:05 pm
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 attempt at a military coup in such difficult times seems an acceptable to me while much of the current volatility has been fueled by a top level dispute over on the weaponry the prime minister earlier claimed that russian made skandha missile systems had failed during last alton's brief with azerbaijan but the russian defense ministry says armenia did not use that weapon in the conflict over in a corner car. chalk it up to make a good chunk of. why the is can there is that fired did not explode or only exploded 10 percent off . i need to.
6:06 pm
tell you. the prime minister and the governments of all me no longer able to make adequate decisions in this fateful and critical situation for the armenian people given the current situation of the home forces of the resignation of the prime minister and the government. there. i'm probably. national tensions escalated off to the signing of a peace deal between armenia and azerbaijan over the disputed nuclear no power back
6:07 pm
region the armenian government had found a victory in the war but the agreement was seen as a humiliating defeat well back then demonstrators reacted to the truce by storming the document building in yerevan they strongly oppose the prime minister's decision to end the fighting and said they want willing to give up the territories seated on to the deal on how to agree to let us know by john hold on to key parts of the area many armenians there say they'll never forgive him for the last. while we discuss the situation with an army at all me off side and the vice president of the country's national assembly. the regime knew that for 30 years the military has been poorly managed in terms of equipment and maintenance this led to the army becoming weak it isn't the army used to be and pushing and came to power without a team all ricks perience the prime minister was an absolute 0 in military affairs as well as in economics and politics and this management disorganization
6:08 pm
noncompliance with the mobilization plan the destruction of command and control systems and the dismissal of military officers all this led to the fact that the general staff lost all patience and demanded the supreme commanders resignation as he was destroying the army this destruction resulted in the loss of 5000 soldiers and tens of thousands of wounded. to communion home. it's post-war turbulence when the military makes political statements it can only be called a military coup in the military must carry out its immediate task of protecting the borders of the republic politics is not a military matter our colleagues from other countries are emphasizing that this is unacceptable the prime minister has problems with a few military officials for in the war i must say the authorities and the prime minister are in control of the situation putting the blame on one person is wrong it's not fair and there are millions understand that we all have
6:09 pm
a show of the blame it's. a long awaited and now declassified us intel report has directly implicated the saudi crown prince over the brutal murder of jon lester 20 what could set the tone for the biden government's relationship with what should be a strategic partner now secretary of state and bank and has already stated sales of defense armaments to the kingdom will continue as will close relations. i would say the relationship with with saudi arabia is an important one we have significant ongoing interests we remain committed to the defense of the kingdom. but we also want to make sure and this is what the president said from the outset that the relationship better reflects our interests and our values and so what we've done by the actions that we've taken. is really not to rupture the relationship but to
6:10 pm
recalibrate well we now have made public the report from the u.s. intelligence office about the killing of jamal khashoggi the conclusion of this highly redacted report is that the killing was personally approved by the crown prince that he approved some kind of plan to kill or capture jamal khashoggi at the time of. the crown prince probably flustered and environments in which aides were afraid failure to complete a sign tasks might result in him firing a wresting them 1st suggests that the aides were unlikely to question mahmoud been summoned soldiers or under sensitive actions without his consent now the report cites the control over decision making in the kingdom held by the crown prince as well as the fact that someone from his personal security detail was involved in the killing now there is no concrete evidence in the report it simply says that based on their assessment of the situation in these details it's highly likely that the
6:11 pm
assassination was approved and now it's important to note that this report was released after a phone call between joe biden the king of saudi arabia took place and now in the aftermath of the report we have 76 individuals who have been banned from traveling to the united states they have been blocked from getting visas by the u.s. state department because they were accused of being involved in this plot furthermore the u.s. department of treasury has imposed sanctions on 17 individuals also bill. leave to be associated with the killing now the white house under joe biden has certainly shifted its tone compared to how the trial of ministration dealt with the issue of saudi arabia this killing and other things take a listen to the 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 i expects. we
6:12 pm
will be in a position. before long to speak to steps to promote accountability going forward for this horrific crime now at 1st the kingdom of saudi arabia denied involvement but later we had the crown prince coming forward and taking responsibility for the killing certainly interesting to see how the position of different saudi officials have evolved over time.
6:13 pm
now the killing of jamal khashoggi in the very brutal way in which it was carried out certainly shocked the world many look at this and say this could be a point that is remembered by historians as a rather negative turning point in the relationship between the united states and its a longtime ally the kingdom of saudi arabia well you know we spoke to all thrown onto the right said nicholas davis and he believes the saudis will continue to be untagged to american power in the middle east. really a lot of the headlines from their reporting around the world. noach primarily that there is no record cautions no punishment no sanctions for in selman and you ringback know this this really seems to replicate in many cases in which americans are charged with war crimes saudi arabia spent billions tens of billions a year on on u.s.
6:14 pm
weapons. it acts as a proxy for the u.s. in that region. it's a closely aligned with israel. the u.s. has been fostering closer relations between all the gulf shaped arms and years rail to essentially. you know support the u.s. empire in that part of the world. while in the news i had still europe looks to vaccination passports to get the continent back on the move but not everyone thinks they'll kill all the travel woes or talk about that and much more in just a moment. when a trauma changes since literally because it's a chemical change in our d.n.a.
6:15 pm
and this changes the way our genes function. sometimes which in the ration. according to a new gallup poll 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 the fact most voters alone to either party is it finally time to move on from this studio if. the vibrations are in the air the headphones are leaving the people are panicking they sense that this seismic bond reversal is the 40 year bull market in the us treasury bonds is on the edge of collapse this is the biggest thing that have been in markets in a century. welcome
6:16 pm
back now health tani's have wound to against reported u.k. plans to make the jobs of mond. pointing out that it could be illegal england's chief medical officer has already told house stoff that getting inoculated is that g.t. on the state run national health service is reportedly considering making it a tree for employees bought n.h.s. dr bob hale told us that some magic waka see it as an attack on their autonomy. the idea of making books a nation compulsory is very shortsighted you need to understand the damn if there 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
6:17 pm
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 in a separate developmental u.k. medical chief say the number of coronavirus patients has dropped and pressure on the n.h.s. is in fact easing officials suggest the country's covert alert level said now downgraded with that in mind bob gill again says mandatory evacuation could well 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
6:18 pm
if there is significant reluctance why that is so all those will provide more information but not to coerce them it was early on in the. which showed the vast majority or doctors certainly felt that the government had completely missed. the krona virus. and that confidence nothing has really happened to improve the confidence in government. but also in the u.k. over $200000.00 people have signed a petition urging the government not to introduce a vaccine passports meaning the issue could now be debated in parliament but with travel across europe heavily restricted many are pinning their hopes they could get things moving again including the german chancellor. with respect to digital vaccination bass all member states agree that when he says the 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's comfortability among
6:19 pm
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 some southern e.u. states like greece and spain which are heavily dependent of course on tourism are pushing to adopt the inoculations tickets quickly but the idea is facing high level resistance to. 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 questions that are still open in the meantime the ears vaccination program has encountered some severe setbacks including shortages of doses and supply delays we heard about some of the possible drawbacks of vaccines to goods from
6:20 pm
a member of germany's the left party and a specialist in a much unseen medicine from the u.k. . solution is not yet available to everyone and causes problems because it can become somewhat loss of action comics a source is only used to hold up to passport but you can't actually create some really unique problem you see but you know people who can't get a taxi or a young person for example of who's probably just difficult to time or someone totally who is not likely to get that work seen before the end of that your age issue learn to go on going on to do it because they don't hold working passport. that would be really unfair to those young people everyone can decide on their own whether they want a vaccination and everyone has to decide on their own which of the vaccinations they want we need vaccine charts because as a currently stands in many european countries we do not have that charts in germany
6:21 pm
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. there's a buzz phrase doing the rounds in the white house once again when joe biden has revived critical race theory that is a concept which aims to highlight and address racism and inequality in u.s. institutions former president donald trump had described it as a racist and toxic propaganda and dealt with an executive order which some communities actually agreed with. critical race theory is a hateful divisive manipulative fraud hate groups with allies in politics the press
6:22 pm
and education past critical race theory off as anti racism and diversity equity and inclusion but critical race theory is exactly the opposite on more than 3000 hate crimes directed against asian americans have been reported since the covert pandemic hit some lay the blame with the former u.s. president who called covert 19 the china virus the president of the chinese american citizens alliance says racial discrimination is endemic in society. it is in now school is in colleges and universities it is in our jobs and nowadays that people are judged by their race and only by the race regards to biden there were several discrimination lawsuits filed this is leading to a lot of a lot of how societies getting destroyed publications take you know with joy on. college admissions reese in online presence wiped out people's jobs
