we're. ok. with. the divisions deepen and all media where opponents of the prime minister all spending a 2nd night outside parliament demanding his resignation. a de classified u.s. intelligence report claims the saudi crown prince approved the mud this jamal khashoggi in 2018 and what may become a game changer for u.s. saudi relations. which has come out against plans to make coronavirus vaccines treat for front line was because. the head of the e.u. clashes with germany. claims that paul's words will have to be used by member states.
9:01 pm
this is all too international from the team h.q. . well let's jump in with the latest developments in the south cool says the opposition in armenia is remaining out in full sin the center of the capital opponents of the prime minister camped out for a 2nd night in front of the parliament building in yerevan they've proud 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
9:02 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 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
9:03 pm
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 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 demands 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 quit yet 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 today we hear to
9:04 pm
get rid of a traitor who 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 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 well to force that message home opposition supporters blocked streets and yards on a thursday paralyzing traffic passing out himself also marched through the streets of the capital with his supporters who were out this to say to us. that 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 thrones issues he says if not acceptable to me the government
9:05 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 amin weaponry the prime minister earlier claimed that russian made scanned missile systems had failed during last walton's brief war with us and by john but the russian defense ministry says i mean you did not use that weapon in the conflict over nagorno-karabakh. it's. choked up with the bricks of the tunnel. why the is can there's that fire he did not explode or only exploded 10 percent off . i need to.
9:06 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 medium people given the current situation the home team says it will mean you didn't move the resignation of the prime minister and the government. to the. top. national tensions escalated in november after the signing of a peace deal between armenia and azerbaijan who over the dispute to not want to carve a region the armenian government had victory in the war but the agreement was actually
9:07 pm
seen as a humiliating defeat while back then demonstrate has reacted to the truce by storming the government building in yerevan they strongly opposed the prime minister's decision to end the fighting and said they won willing to give up the territories seated on to the deal. on had agreed to let as a by john hold on to key parts of the area many armenians though say they'll never forgive heaven for the loss we discussed the situation with an armenian on me off on the feis president of the country's national assembly the persian new year. 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 punching 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
9:08 pm
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 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 our share of the blame. on the way to now declassified us intel report has
9:09 pm
directly implicated the saudi crown prince over the brutal martel john list jamal khashoggi about 20 and what could set the tone for biden's government's relationship with what should be a strategic partner secretary of state and a blanket has already stated that 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 recalibrate well we now have made public the report from the u.s.
9:10 pm
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. the crown prince probably 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 mom had 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 assassination was
9:11 pm
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. that we
9:12 pm
will be in a position. in 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 the marcus shoji in the very brutal way in which it was carried
9:13 pm
out certainly shocked the world and 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 longtime ally the kingdom of saudi arabia meanwhile president biden has announced he will outline significant changes to us how the relations next monday while iran we spoke to. writer nicholas davies he believes the saudis will continue to be integrity to american power in the middle east really a lot of the headlines from their reporting around the world are noach primarily it is no record caution is no punishment no sanctions for in selman and you know this this really seems to replicate in many cases in which americans are charged with war crimes saudi arabia spend billions tens of billions
9:14 pm
a year on on us weapons. as a proxy for the us in that region are closely aligned with israel. the us has been fostering closer relations between all the gulf shape dems and israel to essentially. you know support the us empire in that part of the world. health attorneys have warned again through reported u.k. plans to make over jobs mandatory for some workers pointing out it could be illegal england's chief medical officer has already told health staff that getting inoculated is their duty and the state run national health service is reportedly considering making it obligatory for certain employees but any just talk to bob told us that some medical workers see this 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
9:15 pm
has been done to the trust of the medical profession given the government's already chaotic and much criticized handling of the and demick 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 and a separate development to u.k. medical chiefs say the number of coronavirus patients has dropped and pressure on the n.h.s. is easing up officials suggest that the country's covert a lot love all set now downgraded what with that in mind bob dylan again says that mandatory inoculation could backfire. if you make vaccination part of your terms of employment then what does
9:16 pm
a doctor do if you risk losing their job losing their profession that they have studied and worked so hard or or they comply is 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 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 or krone virus. and that confidence nothing has really happened to improve their confidence in government. while also in the u.k. hova $200000.00 people have signed a petition urging the government not to introduce facts in passports meaning the issue could now be debated in parliament but with travel across europe heavily
9:17 pm
restricted many are pulling their hopes on this to get things moving again including the german chancellor. let's start with respect to digital vaccination bass all member states agree that when he has a thing the technical preparations were done by the european commission as well as member states in january now when he simple man that's said that there's compatibility among different national passes we in germany have decided that it will develop such a vaccination that the key data that has digital past mass contain had been defined by the european commission and member states of 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 questions political question the 1st one is of course what these
9:18 pm
certificates will be used for but they're also scientific questions that are still open meanwhile the ears vaccination program has encountered some severe setbacks including shortages of doses supply delays we heard from about some of the possible drawbacks of vaccines to goods from a member of germany's the left party under specialist in emergency medicine from the u.k. . solution is not yet available to everyone and causes problems because we can become someone wants. to hold us and passport but you can't actually do with a unique problem. or people who aren't going to see a young person for example of who's probably home just as difficult a time or someone totally who is not likely to get work seen before the end of the your issue learn to con or not to do because they don't hold folks in passport.
9:19 pm
those 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 said currently 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 boarders only pro 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. as a buzz phrase of doing the rounds in the white house once again joe biden has revived critical race theory a concept which aims to highlight and address racism and inequality us institutions now former president donald trump had described it as way system toxic propaganda
9:20 pm
and banned it with an executive order which some communities are great with. critical race theory is a hateful divisive manipulative fraud hate groups with allies in politics the press and education past critical race theory off 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 farm lay the blame with the former u.s. president who called covert 1000 the china virus the president of the chinese american citizens alliance as the 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
9:21 pm
biden there were several discrimination lawsuits filed this is leading to a lot of a lot of our society's getting destroyed publications take you know 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 look tino's and then you have people born from a interracial marriages they were conveniently excluding from this battle well from this movement. will find a stranger has become too fast control to force tech giants to pay publishes for news content the law is designed to meet the likes of facebook and google pay
