Outraged the deal they see as a defeat for their country. This comes after azerbaijan launches an investigation after admitting to shooting down a Russian Military helicopter over armenian airspace welcomed an apology over the incident which killed 2 of the 3 crewmembers on board. And supporters of President Trump take to the streets across the country demanding a vote recount in battleground states and there is a role reversal with accusing the democrats of stealing the 2020 vote 4 years after the opposition called the republican election which. Are broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our to International Im sean thomas glad to have you with us lets get right to our breaking news this hour a Peace Agreement has been reached between armenia russia and azerbaijan to end hostilities over the disputed not go to the region russian president Vladimir Putin announced the cease fire earlier. Today is their bridge and president ilham aliyev armenias Prime Minister nico and russia have signed the declaration announcing the cease fire and stopping combat nagornokarabakh conflict zone this is a Pivotal Moment absolutely and perhaps the most Important Development in months if not years in this whole conflict between me and breakaway region of the government car back in azerbaijan and book which is essentially a war between the armenia and azerbaijan and armies now theres something that adds extra weight to this truce steal the fact that it was hammered out by the leaders so the mediator was russias president Vladimir Putin and also the parties to the negotiations were the armenian Prime Minister nicola and the president aliyev now i can tell you that the cease fire agreement is already in place its taken effect at midnight moscow time and let me just go through some of the key points of that truce deal so according to the dream and the militaries of both armenia and azerbaijan must observe their positions must stay in the positions that they are currently taking now something that is absolutely vital and crucial in this case is the introduction of a Russian Peacekeeping mission not something that had long been talked about but never been announced officially now is the time there will definitely be a Russian Peacekeeping mission that is supposed to comprise of almost 2000 Russian Troops and also 380. 00 units of military hardware that announcement came from the Russian Ministry of defense besides this key transport hubs injunctions must be on blog which is supposed to allow Free Movement of refugees and hopefully a Proper Exchange of prisoners between the sides i can tell you that last. A month the previous version of the ceasefire was announced after talks between the top diplomats the Foreign Ministers of russia armenia and azerbaijan but that agreement never properly worked perhaps it was able to lead to a situation in which the worst Case Scenario was avoided but still it failed to stop the bloodshed and this perhaps explains why talks on a higher level were required i can tell you that a little earlier book who announced that it had taken more territories and the nagornokarabakh region including the town of sushi which is the 2nd biggest town after the capital of mcgauran a car back and that and yes the armenian side as it usually happens denied losing control over that part of the breakaway region but then it was apparent it became apparent that because advancements have taken place and this perhaps explains the the mood of president of who said this when he was addressing the nation right after the announcement of the cease fire deal because. I would like to see done very very we have sealed the deal to certainly years long conflict between our media and. The occupation and. The mood though is strikingly different on the other side of the front line i can tell you that in armenia this truce deal drove some people mad and almost instantly protests broke out in the capital which has already allowed to violence i can tell you and hopefully you can see the pictures that the protesters stormed government buildings it seems that some armenians see this as a defeat and they are not willing to accept the terms of the deal which led to a situation in which over night. Prime minister nicole had to go live to address the nation and he was saying that he had no other choice given the actual military situation on the frontline and he explained this by saying that his army was up against someone he called terrorists and also the military of a mighty nato country in that he was clearly referring to the support that azerbaijan is getting from turkey now by the way something very important for me to say is that nicole possibly not was the 1st official the 1st leader of a country to announce the cease fire and this is the tone this is the rhetoric that he was using lets just listen to a part of the statement that he 1st made. I signed a statement with the president s of russia and has a vision to end the karabakh war starting at 1 am today the text of the statement is unspeakably painful for me personally and for our people i have made this decision as a result of an indepth analysis of the military situation and assessment of the people who know it best who is based on the belief that this is the best possible solution to the Current Situation i will tell you about this all in detail in the coming days this is not a victory but there will be no defeat until you admit that you lost we will never recognize ourselves as the losing side and this should be the beginning of an era of National Unity and revival now theres another element to the story that ive not mentioned so far because on monday at about 5 30 pm moscow time a Russian Military helicopter was shot down over the armenian air space but space but it was very close to the border where i was there by john and potentially as we understand this situation couldve led to something much more explosive but then almost immediately at about a couple of hours russia got out of from but who was there by johnny military admitted that it was a tragic accident when they shot down the Russian Military helicopter from a surface to air missile launcher and this is the tension somehow and russia welcomed that apology heres a statement from the russian diplomats. We assessed positively the fact that book who immediately admitted its guilt we also know the assurances given to us by the ears are bijani site that a prompt investigation of this incident will be carried out and the perpetrators will be punished so again you can just imagine how tense the situation was so it appears this true steel was in the making one that Helicopter Crash happened and obviously again this could have led to much worse scenarios but in that case the sides managed to come to some kind of understanding that it was a mistake and then we realized that they were able to proceed with the cease fire agreement that were talking about now and again this is a very Important Development because weve heard none of this before and this is clearly an agreement between the leaders that require us to be observed i mean if this is the time to act and to do something for the leaders what else can stop them its putin its a league of and its posturing on there you have it so i can tell you though that for us its time to watch out for whats gone on in armenia because clearly some layers of the population there are completely not happy with it though meanwhile protesters outraged at the agreement took to the streets of the armenian capital yerevan they stormed both the parliament and government buildings armenias Prime Minister valid those behind the unrest would be prosecuted local journalist joe. Reports from the center of those events. Im here in Public Square and youre about. This so about an hour and a half ago or 2 hours ago when the statement starts come out on the switch and facebook. People starts to gather it and the government building just behind me was broken into. Protest to smash the sweating so i pulled out flags within half an hour i was at aldershot as those thousands of people who are. Safe theyve cooled for a little bit for this big diff tell me theyre looking for bush in yemen. And theyre trying to find him. Police kind of still try to stop him with that and just stepped aside and allowed for justice inside the building when they kind of pulled apart the buildings might also look smashing ross. Some scuffles breaking out a few fights between purchases youre going to see one Different Things and something happening again behind me and this this this kind of stuff is alleged to place between protesters between some place but mostly Police Stepping back and allowing people to express that around. I. Think theres been Constant Movement approaches of putting the building down and i mean its actually just behind the camera i was actually i. Spent work for now and its awful raymond having these kind of sit down i mean its an hour and. People people can keep you know where they call the screaming for me yes i will admit that you didnt understand the reasons out now to me i was like. Former u. S. Diplomat jim johnson shared his take on the Current Situation. In terms of the end of the matter i dont think this falls the overall question going to go on a car and what its status will me if for the short term cease fire holds as the previous ones have not and with the introduction of russian peacekeepers that helps to stabilize the situation yes that that possibly could work but there is still a lot of political wreckage left over it would have to be negotiated for a long Term Solution to what is the status quo not are about or are soft as the armenians call it and also the other areas surrounding the border call robot that connect armenia to a normal harbach that i dont think even the armenians are saying they dont consider part of azerbaijan but theyve been holding sense here early 1990 s. They probably felt that there was a stronger. That it could have expected stronger support from the russians but you know theres a complication here to this remember the mr pushing young was brought to power in one of these color row pollutions in 2018 and trying to pursue a policy that was not as moscow centric as previous armenian governments he wanted to reach out more to the west and many people in fact even considered him somewhat anti russian and then when the chips were down he expects the russians to come to armenia as a rescue which the russians really did not the russians i think were more focused on how do they keep the lid on as how do they limit also outside employees mothers from turkey or from nato or from other powers over an area that lets be honest was part of the show union in part of the russian empire before that and they really do not want to see any other spheres of influence extended in that. As mentioned earlier azerbaijans president announced the capture of a strategic town in the disputed region sparking celebrations on the streets of baku azerbaijan the Defense Ministry said the town of shushi had been quote liberated from the armenian occupation after more than 28 years telling lies on the main road connecting them going on catabolic with armenia heres what the local leadership has been saying. We must now acknowledge that the chain of misfortune has befallen us and the town of she she is completely out of our control any hopeful or inspiring propaganda will any said to distance us from reality the start there is a city of shows she is now under the control of the over the Azerbaijani Army that has been confirmed now by majority side after that they have published a video showing that the as a bridge on the force is controlling the city of the streets of city of shushi but the above the question now whats next what city will be next is it a step on a kurd or maybe there will be this settling in shoes they will have a break maybe after 4 or 5 days of heavy fighting across the region of gournay corrupt baka here in armenia the people are desperate they are fill that if they have been left down and they dont know what to do actually and we can notice that in their faces because they have suffered a lot they have given a lot and struggled all these 4 for more than one month. And they sic roofies a lot now the fighting had been settled for a break as we believe but we still receive some and formation from our sources instapundit cured the that. The shelling is still and step on occurred and the city of moore dont need to the norm are too many to the north and also on the road that connects now gormley corrupt with armenia its a matter of time now. The arrival of Azerbaijani Forces there has sparked a mass exodus of civilians in these images from sunday you can see a line of traffic leading out of the main cities to panic or the disputed region has been the focus of intense fighting since late september despite 3 attempted cease fires it is legally part of azerbaijan but has a majority armenian population and has been pushing for independence for more than 3 decades the latest flare in the feud has left hundreds dead. Gears in the us there have been more claims of election meddling with donald trump accusing the democrats of mass voter fraud after joe biden was proclaimed president elect. President trump has yet to concede the election hes vowing legal action claiming there has been Serious Fraud we believe these people are thieves the big city machines are corrupt this was a stolen election the best poster in britain wrote this morning that this clearly was a stolen election that its impossible to imagine that biden out ran a bomb in some of these states where it mattered they stole what they had to steal clashes have heard it in several states between rival crowds with several arrests made that says Trump Supporters stand by the president in questioning the election results. On saturday night yeah lets call that the race for biden after days of counting president elect since promised to help america become a nation field but like in 2016 its off to a shaky start with more allegations of meddling. For Many Americans the 2020 us president ial election had so much riding on it it was symbolic a long awaited chance for justice to prevail for the country to correct the mistakes of 2016 at least thats how the media and many people saw it where were you in 27. When we had the worst president we could argue its unfair to rank trump as a work person ever after just one year but clearly those scholars see in him a Great Potential worst in most dangerous president in the history of country or the worst whereas hes americas ever. Thousands of people celebrating on the streets a far cry from the scenes we saw for the last president ial election seemingly the only tears this time of joy. Its. A case where a lot of people who have really suffered for years ago when trump won broadcasters showed scenes of people in shock and crying today a biden declaration shows coverage that would make you think jesus had returned all 4 hours might be exaggerating but to some it really looks like a savior of the senate upon america except this is a reality for only half of the country bidens predicted landslide or blue wave didnt happen and no matter how many times he was called the worst president in American History the worst president the countrys ever had trump still managed to gain the support of close to half the electorate and they alongside his Campaign Team are not giving up without a fight. I. Was not able to be over and immediately. With the democratic leadership all trump has so far also refused to concedes making a slew of allegations about the legality and accuracy of the voting process if you count the illegal votes easily when if you count the illegal votes they can try to steal. The election from us and trumps team up behind him ready to do battle in the countrys legal system and hires the courts to stop what they see as an injustice these are a lawsuit will be brought starting on monday as you know from the very beginning the mail in ballots were a source of some degree of skepticism if not a lot of skepticism as being innately prone to fraud this fraud war between the trump and biden camps wont end anytime soon how do we know this well that simple the last one dragged on for trumps entire term a democratically elected president was accused of just about every wrongdoing trump is already acting like a russian donald trump. Actively or was actively colluding with russia hone told mahlers office about more contacts between trumps orbit and its it appears trump himself in russia they didnt believe trump when he denied there was any collusion for example so why should he give his of positives the benefit of the doubt what claims the president made yesterday were simply not supported you know i think what the president needs to do is frankly put his big boy pants on he needs to acknowledge the fact that he lost and he needs to congratulate the winner well its not for us biden or trump to decide whether any wrongdoing took place during the 2020 alexion it looks like math will be down to the Supreme Court but what we do know is that trumps 4 years in office might have taught him a valuable lesson about how to fight his bottle and so far it looks like theyll be little unity along the way we asked our guests whether there is any merit to Donald Trumps allegations of ballot fraud. Theres no doubt of that but that joe biden is the president elect and will take office at noon on the 20th of january next year there are no court cases that have any merit the margins are such that they are not capable of being disputed and its also clear joe biden won the election by 5000000 votes the most votes that any candidate has ever gotten the countrys polarized but there was an extraordinary turnout in this election largely because of donald trump but because a majority of americans did not want him to continue as president not joe biden got over a 50 percent of the vote for. Hillary clinton and won by 3000000 votes but she didnt get 50 percent there are teams of lawyers in every state with question marks on them and their purpose is to put together their part of a case thats going to be presented to the public and to justice as a full case that shows that the election outcome was altered by the fraud that it was that significant number to give you just one of those mathematical near impossibilities to show you how you can obviously see that things were done but are not right to vote for Hillary Clinton was very strong in a lot of democrats Capital Cities including the ones in the swing States Joe Biden got fewer votes than Hillary Clinton in every a major American City except for and those 4 are milwaukee detroit atlanta and philadelphia the 4 cities where much of the obvious to cain are you is going on so joe biden got more votes than Hillary Clinton coincidentally in the 4 Capital Cities of the swing states but less all across the rest of the country and still he gets a Record Number 74000000 popular votes for president. How does this happen when only 4 cities have to make up a disadvantage to your previous gender day in the previous election its just mathematically nearly impossible i think theres a lot of circumstantial evidence a lot of self evident impossibilities like that and you have to assemble them all into a single detail jason i think thats what President Trumps team of lawyers is doing right now europe has been taking a keen interest in the u. S. Election with joe biden said for the white house brussels has expressed hope bilateral ties will get a boost though some in the e. U. Are skeptical things will actually improve he shrugged been ski picks up the story any e. U. Leaders were signaling their congratulations or a sense of relief i think in europe that biden is the president elect there was a lot welcome particularly over the fact that biden has said he would bring the u. S. Back into the paris climate agree fold but there was also this carefully wooded suggestion about the challenges that are faced in the future and cooperation all those challenges together one of the big issues that european leaders are going to be thinking about is nato trump was seen as being divisive not particularly supportive of the alliance whereas joe biden seen as somebody who is a big supporter of nato and may look to reinforce the alliance but there are some aspects of that that he wont be changing from the trumpet administration clued in perhaps the 2 percent of the g. D. P. That trump demanded that other nato members pay their fair share thats likely to remain the status quo and those the suggestion that joe biden would not be making a u. Turn or other important decisions. Joe biden isnt going to change washingtons approach to International Issues overnight because he cant its a mistake to believe that everything changes europe must above all count on itself nothing will be easy there are also many issues where i dont think anything is going to change there. Theres also the issue of trade this is been a massive problem with all these tariffs that trump has been imposing on e. U. Products over the last 3 years now joe biden comes into the presidency with a u. S. Trade deficit of 170000000000. 00 u. S. Dollars with the e. U. So trade is something that is going to be continuously a difficult issue theres also talks coming up over the digital tax on tech giants which of course friction over the past year or so and there is this continuing dispute over subsidies for airbus and boeing so that is unlikely to resolve itself very soon now the e. U. Has also been pushing ahead with this agenda of more sovereignty in defense in trade trying to perhaps sort of rally itself up against the u. S. And that is also unlikely to change up this marks a new chapter in european history one where europe is independent where we can be proud of our european culture and identity will be able to stand up against china against the United States against the disorder we are currently witnessing european strategical told them is goal number one for generation were sending a message not only door citizens but also to the rest of the world europe is the world power and then of course theres the issue of braggs it those negotiations not going to well between the u. K. And the e. U. But the e. U. Is hoping that a biden presidency will not give special treatment to the u. K. Particularly if there is no deal breaks it so lots of issues that europe is waiting to find out about but the reality is joe biden has so much on his plate domestically trying to create the harmony within the u. S. And lets not forget that trump gained more than 70000000 votes trump ism is alive and kicking and joe biden is going to have to do an awful lot to reach out to those voters. Former Australian Foreign minister karen conies all believes ties with europe wont be a major priority for biden personally i dont see 2 European Union issues being top chanda we might believe that we are so important that washington wakes up in the morning and now cares 1st and foremost about how to repair the alliance how to get back to better relations with the various e. U. Member states no i think their 1st and foremost Foreign Policy of chanda will be to peoples republic of china and how to handle all the open issues with them but personally i would share the position by former president of to you being commissioner. Nothing is going to change because although he constitution a lot and there are certain constant. Factors that continue one of them is to trade deficits and the other one is to treat this and of course the burden sharing within the alliance. And of course the mother of our breaking news this hour an agreement has been reached between armenia russia and azerbaijan to cease hostilities over the disputed not go to no kind of back region as a jobs president called the agreement historic and said it brings it to an end the long term conflict the armenian pm though said he had no choice but to sign the document this all comes hours after azerbaijan said it was launching a probe into the downing of a Russian Military helicopter over armenian air space 2 of the 3 crew members on board were killed as about john has apologized for that incident and move welcomed by moscow we are keeping across the story and well bring you more as it develops stay with us this hour to international. Same wrong oh well lets just dont call. Me that is yet to shape out these days to come to educate and in. Equals to trail. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. This is a boom bust for the one business show you care to afford to miss some friendships or in watching
