27 live from the russian capital this is an international many thanks for joining us a while the program well let's start with the latest developments in the south caucasus the opposition in armenia is remaining out in full since until of the capital opponents of the prime minister are currently count out for a 2nd night in front of the parliament building in yerevan they vow to stay there until nicole resigns constantine rushkoff 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

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 cannot follow through with this until the president of the country signs off on that order and that's when the latest meeting of the presidential office came into play at 1st it seemed like the opposition has one over there president convincing him to send the order 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 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. the shoe and you mean the onus not the moans haven't changed we call on 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 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 like you working today we

had to get to the trade will fight to the end this enemy must leave our country to restore our homeland. partially down has faced protest and calls to resign after what his critics say was that as astor is handling of a bloody 6 week conflict between his service john and ethnic armenian forces over the region of the bourne occur last year that conflict ended in significant territory losses for armenian side and as you can see the country is still reeling from that. defeat. what force that message home opposition supporters blocked streets and you have on on thursday paralyzing traffic at himself also marched through the streets of the capital with his supporters who had the following 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 through of course failure 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 acceptable to me while much of the current volatility has been fueled by a top level dispute over the weaponry the prime minister earlier claimed that russian made discount and missile systems had failed and lost all tools before with us or by john but the russian defense ministry says i mean you did not use that weapon in the conflict over in a corner. get. choked up at the back of the tunnel. why the iskenderun that fired did not explode or only exploded 10 percent off.

the tank. the prime minister and the governments of all me are 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. that the. outcome. national tensions escalated. to the signing of a peace deal with the media on us by john over the disputed new corner carpark

reachin the armenian government had fouled victory in the war but do you agree man was seen as a humiliating defeat by demonstrators reacted to the true spy storming the government building in yerevan they strongly oppose the prime minister's decision to end the fighting and said they want willing to give up the territory seats on to the deal on how to breathe to let us buy john hold on to key parts of the area many armenians those say they'll never forgive him for that loss we discussed the situation with an armenian army officer on the feis president of the country's national assembly. the provision in it 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 knowledgeable ricks perience the prime minister was an absolute 0 in military affairs as well as in economics and politics and this management disorganization 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 that can only be called a military coup 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 is not fair and there are millions understand that and we all have a show of the blame for. a long awaited now declassified us

intel report has directly implicated the saudi crown prince over the brutal lot of journalists. back in 20000 and what could set the tone for the biden government's relations with what should be a strategic partner secretary of state and has already stated that sales of defense are within 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 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 assigned tasks might result in him firing or arresting them suggests that the aides were unlikely to question mahmoud bin soman soldiers or undertake 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

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 believe. 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

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.

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 it's a longtime ally the kingdom of saudi arabia. we spoke to wolf right tonight to stay with us he believes the saudis will continue to be a tackle to american power in the mideast. really a lot of the headlines from their reporting around the world. noach primarily that there is no record cautions no punishment no sanctions fought in selman and ringback you know this this really seems to replicate many cases in which americans are charged with war crimes saudi arabia spent billions tens of billions a year on on us weapons. it acts as

a proxy for the us in that region. it's a closely aligned with israel the us has been fostering closer relations between all the gulf shakedowns and years rail to essentially. you know support the us empire in that part of the world while still to come on the program the europe looks to vaccination passports to get the continent back on the move but not everyone thinks stealth for the trouble way is set tight that's just one of our stories. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or inmate in the shallowness. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

while health tani's have wound again through reported u.k. plans to make covert jobs mandatory for some walkers pointing out that it could be illegal and good chief medical officer has already told house staff that getting inoculated is that duty on the state run national health service is reportedly considering making it obligatory for employees but any just talk to bob told us that some medical waka see it as an attack on their autonomy. the idea of making books a nation compulsory is very shortsighted you need to understand that 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 and demi 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 in this compulsory i think is another straw to break the camel's back in a separate development u.k. medical chief save the number of coronavirus patients has dropped and pressure on the n.h.s. is easing officials suggest the country's covert alert levels of now been downgraded what went fight in mind bob dylan dan says that 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 the complier you who is quite a big big to be professional. 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 will provide the more information but not to coerce them it was the 3rd early on in the. which showed the

vast majority or doctors certainly felt that the government had completely mis owned old crone a virus. and that confidence nothing has really happened to improve their confidence in government. also in the u.k. over 200000 people have signed a petition urging the government not to introduce vaccine passports meaning the issue could now be debated in parliament but with trouble across europe heavily restricted many are pinning their hopes precisely so that they can get things moving again including the german chancellor let's start with respect to digital vaccination bass all member states agree that when he says a thing of the technical preparations redone 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 vaccinations that the key data that is digital past mass

contained have been defined by the european commission and member states some southern e.u. states like greece and spain which are heavily dependent on tourism are pushing to adopt the inoculation certificates 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 meanwhile the e.u.'s vaccination program has encountered some severe setbacks including shortages of doses and supply delays we heard about some of the possible drawbacks of vaccines tickets from a member of germany's the left party and a specialist in a much unseen medicine from the u.k. . solution is not

a little clip on and causes problems because it can become someone loss of oxygen. source is only used to hold out passport but you can't actually do with a unique problem you see that you are people who can't get a taxi or a young person for example of the who's probably home just to tickle time or someone totally who is not likely to get work seen before the end of that you know each issue learn to go on going on to do because they don't hold folks in passport . pretty and those young people everyone can decide on their all whether they want a vaccination and everyone has to decide on their own which of the vaccinations they want we need vaccine charts because there said turly stands in many european countries we do not have that charts in germany for example we only have western vaccines young people younger than 16 years of age cannot get any kind of

explanation at the moment so the discrimination there would follow if your born us 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 joe biden has survived critical race theory that's a concept which aims to highlight and address racism on inequality in us institutions now former president donald trump had described it as racist and toxic propaganda and banned it 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 and education past critical race theory of as anti racism and diversity equity and inclusion but critical race theory is exactly the opposite while more than 3000

hate crimes directed against asian americans have been reported since the covert pandemic hit some lay blame with the former us president who called covert lying to you the china virus and the president of the chinese american citizens alliance as racial discrimination is simply 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 3 cuts to biden there were several discrimination lawsuits filed this is leading to a lot of a lot of our society's getting destroyed publications taken with joy on. college admissions reese in our online presence wiped out people's jobs get terminated business relationships gets in the wall or this because of

race this is not just about blacks and whites we have like us asians you have latinos and then you have people born from the interracial marriages they were conveniently excluding from this battle or from this movement. i'm finding a strain here has become too fast content to force tech giants to pay papa says for news content the law is designed to meet the likes of facebook and google pay a fair price to root out lets face book had taken the unprecedented step of blocking these posts and the strain until the government maintained just to the legislation to teach office 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 if all 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 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 the type of 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've 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 for facebook has really friended a strike in return a facebook agreed to restore the news pages and lift a ban. only history leans accessing in 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 in new york trinity chavez r.t. that's all from us from the whole team here moscow thanks for what you want t. coming your way next it's crosstalk. the vibrations are in the air the headphones are leaving the people are panicking they sense that the seismic bond reversal is the 40 year bull market in u.s. treasury bonds is on the edge of collapse this is the biggest thing that happened in markets in a century. since

say that if the boy doesn't. come home with me pay them is only. about the mind. for one. crock if you're not just the type to tease and punish when the pockets i see in the next tongues are moment on cue at. least been. used and feel good in the end he's a. little too melodramatic though he couldn't get on with on those on the. show seemed wrong. roles just don't hold. me to get to shape out these days become agitated and in games from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle according to a new gallup poll over 60 percent of those asked are dissatisfied with the 2 major parties the country is divided politically but the parties themselves are divided within add to this the fact most voters do not belong to either party is it finally time to move on from this diwali.

to discuss these issues and more i'm joined by my guests gloria the riva in san francisco she was a 2020 presidential candidate for the party for socialism and liberation and the peace and freedom party in pasadena we have great john to what he is the co-host and co-creator of the independent media show congo couch and in austin we have wes benedict he is former executive director of the liberation party are across the girls in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i was appreciated ok let's go to separate us so gloria you heard my introduction here why do you think over 60 percent of people are dissatisfied with the 2 major parties because we keep hearing the country is equally divided and that's the media me but i think it's far more complicated than that because i mix with different circles and the majority experience i come across personally most people are politically homeless

not a democrat and not a republican go head clerk. well i believe for many years people have felt disengage from the political process and it's reflected in the fact that maybe 40 percent maximum are usually vote in the presidential elections and far less in the off year elections and i think it's because. they don't feed their life changed by anything that the politicians do and they hear the rhetoric they hear the promises but then when they get elected everything goes out the window and i think that's part of this to this is a this past year in the last 4 years trump. exacerbated that situation and i think there's a lot of confusion by people but i do believe that with the higher the record number of voters in 2020 shows.
