i spoke earlier with ian br bremmer, he is president of the consulting firm, eurasia group. i asked why some americans look at one another with such hostility. >> i think one big reason and why you don't see it in japan is because, inequality in the united states, in so many manifestations, has grown so much. i mean, think about, not just the fact that a lot of americans have lost their jobs through free trade or through automation. and now, accelerating with the technologies that we all need for -- to get through coronavirus. think about the wars that we fought in iraq and afghanistan. and it's the poorest sections of society that we're sending over to fight in these countries. and they come back and we haven't won these wars, and they haven't been treated all that well. i think that, structurally, these things in the united states have made a lot of officials in the political establishment and the mainstream media and the ceos and the bankers, and even the scientists and the doctors that are saying you got to lock down, while people are losing their jobs. they're -- they'r

let's get to ian bremmer of the eurasia group, president.very brief commentary from president trump moments ago? ian: he is not doing a lot of governing, right? coronavirus continues to be the most important story out there. until january 20, you would want the president to be out in front of it. that is not the case. we also have not seen a concession from president trump. in fact, he fired christopher krebs. i know that felt like a year ago but it was a week ago. with --the man insured trusted for ensuring election security. he was fired for not upholding president trump's allegations of election fraud. ultimately, it doesn't matter to the outcome, but it matters because he has an enormous megaphone, and a lot of people believe him. you have a large number of trump supporters in the country that actually think the election was rigged. that means their willingness to believe in the institutions of the united states are deteriorating. it makes it a lot harder to govern, lead by example internationally. do you think anyone is going to listen

henry rome is a senior analyst focusing on iran at the eurasia group.of general qasem soleimani. in terms of comparing the two men, they lived in different worlds. mr fakhrizadeh was the leader before 2004 of iran's nuclear weapons programme and qasem soleimani was responsible for iranian operations overseas, special operations. mr soleimani had a higher profile than mr fakhrizadeh. but they both contributed significantly to their parallel fields. i think their absence as iran heads into 2021 will be quite missed. if this was israel, what is its long—term strategy here? the israeli goal is twofold. i would say it is much more short—term frankly than it is long—term. there are two time periods. the next two months while president trump is still in office. the goal there is when you have a us administration that is as strongly by your side as president trump is, from the israeli point of view, you want to get as many things, as many operations going as possible, and try to degrade as significantly as possible the iranian nuclear programme. you saw that ov

for more on this we're going to cross live to earl rasmussen the executive vice president of the eurasia center thanks for being with us here on r t international. so this is not the 1st season fire that has been called over this disputed region. we've heard more of the same in the past this seems a little bit different though considering the players are in that are involved are you more confident in this ceasefire this time i think. the positive i mean i understand difficult for me especially but i think of the positive step forward and it seems much more. much more stable i think we'll see out of this versus the prior ceasefire and. an end and i understand how difficult it is but i think for the region it's it's it's much better to end this hostility because otherwise i don't really see i don't know if i can see into this in the long term you mentioned armenia there so will this be seen as a win for one side specifically about john over the other we've already seen protests in the armenian capital about this where people aren't really happy why aren't they happy well i think you know t

politics and joining us in istanbul matthew bryza a nonresident senior fellow at the atlantic council's eurasia center and global energy center welcome to each of you thomas let me start with you it's being reported that joe biden is planning on quickly signing a series of executive orders once he's sworn in as the next president and that these orders would see america rejoin the paris climate accords reversed president trump's withdrawal from the world health organization in the muslim ban reinstate daca i'm curious to know from your perspective how much is joe biden going to have to rely on executive orders to try to implement his agenda and is that something that he wants to do. well i think that the executive orders will be the primary mechanism by which biden will be forced to govern and that simply because it's looking increasingly like he will face divided government with republicans more likely than not maintaining the senate you know any time you have a divided government the default position is policy paralysis and gridlock and so increasingly what we've seen from presidents is using

let's speak to henry rome, a senior analyst focusing on iran and israel at the eurasia group.lled this year. how does his killing compared to the assassination of general qasem soleimani in january to the assassination of general qasem soleimani injanuary in terms of impact? thanks for having me today. in terms of comparing the two men, they lived in different worlds. fakhrizadeh was the leader of the nuclear weapons programme in iran and qasem soleimani was responsible for iranian operations overseas, special operations. qasem soleimani had a higher profile than mohsen fakhrizadeh. they both contributed significantly to their parallel fields. i think their parallel fields. i think their absence as iran heads into 2021 will be quite missed. if this was israel, what is its long—term strategy here? the israeli goal is twofold. i would say it is more short—term than long—term. there are two time periods. the next two months while president trump is still in office. the goal is when you have a us administration that is as strongly by your side as president trump is, from the israe

on russia who understand a little bit of russia's history, its view of itself as a great power in eurasia, and have them talk with some of their counterparts in russia and start to sink about how we could build a new security architecture concept without bringing the government in right away because it's going to be too much if not all the russians have been proposing this since the year 2000. ok. i mean, it's the russian side that has been saying this year that at the same time, you know, it's like, it's a unit party when it comes to form homeless being. and then you still have these voices, you know, we have to bring in georgia. we have to bring in ukraine into it, into nato, who knows, maybe armenia as well here. that's, that's a one way conversation. you know, brian and i have to be convinced, i have to be convinced that you seem to downplay the syrian situation. i think they can be easily ignited again at low cost for the united states and a high cost for russia and a high cost per syria. and the region just to be intentionally keeping in a quagmire. and i'm quoting the fame policyma

but you brought, there is a senior fellow at the atlantic council's eurasia centime global energy center. he says and is going to kind of box finally, legal status needs to be determined in future negotiations. and i was the u.s. mediator in the normal car of a conflict as well as ambassador azerbaijan. and in that capacity, we were able to get armenia and azerbaijan in, in 2009 to agree to a framework, to settle the conflict, which is essentially what was agreed on november 10th in that deal between armenia and azerbaijan, brokered by president putin of russia. so that framework is now being realized, and it always envisioned that the final legal status of armenian occupied areas of nagorno-karabakh would be determined through negotiations that would conclude at an indeterminate point in the future. so i think that's where we are right now. those negotiations will take place at some point, but of course only after the dust settles literally and figuratively and psychologically and the, the sense of humiliation and anger in armenia softens. the anger is going to increase the azerbaijani

bounce seeing a rapid back in eurasia market relative to the european market?e metrics, if that is part of the narrative. hadf you recall, we have business in china which has not been faring so well. this was true before the pandemic hit. that was expected to go down roughly 20% this year. as we have gone through and come out of covid, let's say china is more back to normal, we are back to those type of levels. the bounceback for our brand is not as strong in china. inn we can talk about china that respect. then we have australia, one of our more mature markets. the third quarter was the strongest quarter in three years. the bounceback has been very strong. that happened despite the fact we had one out of four stores closed thanks to the situation in victoria. the business -- essentially my narrative is the strategy of program now is working everywhere. each country has a slightly different situation. on one hand because of the brand history and the secondhand because of how this pandemic is developing. the important thing to remember here is sellout growth in

let's follow this with matthew bryza, a senior fellow at the atlantic council's eurasia center, and global energy center joins me now from istanbul via skype. good to have you with you. this seems to be a relative peace. the moment for the tension between armenia and azerbaijan continues and probably is that it will sort of flare up in the future if the final status cannot be found for nagorno karabakh. where do we go from here? well, sale, you know, i was the u.s. mediator over the number on a car of a conflict as well as ambassador azerbaijan. and in that capacity, we were able to get armenia and azerbaijan in, in 2009 to agree to a framework, to settle the conflict, which is essentially what was agreed on november 10th in that deal between armenia and azerbaijan, brokered by president putin of russia. so that framework is now being realized, and it always envisioned that the final legal status of armenian occupied areas of nagorno-karabakh would be determined through negotiations that would conclude at an indeterminate point in the future. so i think that's where we are right now. those
