Protesters on the march. The president , by the way, made a fleeting deception. Still working under the assumption of a 2nd term, the fallout from the 3rd vote just after 10 pm in kampala in istanbul, and here in moscow this saturday, november the 14th, welcome to our, to international my names. You dont know me. Crowds have been gathering throughout the day for a candlelit vigil in the armenian capital in europe on people remembering those who lost their lives in the conflict with in the disputed region of nagornokarabakh. This saturday does mark a change in mood though during the week protests against the ceasefire deal between the 2 warring nations turned violent tensions between armenia over nagornokarabakh came to a head in late september with heavy fighting, taking place for a further 7 weeks. The conflict itself stretches back more than 3 decades, although the region is populated mainly by ethnic armenians, its is legally part of azerbaijan. R. T. Senior correspondent does the have spoke to the program some hours ago from youre a fan. This is being a solemn bunda, sad day in all of a media a day where thousands and thousands of people here in the capital of year of god came out to to pay their respects to those who died over the course of this 6 week conflict. We didnt hear any political slogans or jockeying for political influence. Today was a day when people came out to light candles to pay their respects for all those who had died. Bear in mind that i mean is only a nation of 30. So 1000000 people, a 1000 dead ease, a huge tragedy and thousands dead ease. An enormous catastrophe, and im not sure if those really need to borrow the known bug or give any example it needs it. I think we do, and we see this with the to be meeting with the when i was a question, you dont push tonight. You know, its the nature of the emotions, a booth mixed in bogota. Here in the capital, people upset over the shias scale of the casualties. The shia scale of how much territory was lost is being handed over to is it a budget . But things in the go to think about in the breakaway republic, a somewhat calmer today, the Russian Peacekeeping force deployed there. Said it didnt register a single shots over the course of the entire day. The peacekeeping operation is in full swing. We sure huge convoys today, footage of huge convoys of military vehicles, of ahmed personnel, carriers of fuel trucks, supply trucks as well as support vehicles, communications equipment, being delivered through the rugged and mountainous terrain that is going to cut a buck to stiffen, to get the capital from where, from where the peacekeeping operation is being run out of it, as well as all the observation posts monitoring stations across the periphery of the front lines of the go. In the cut above, the head of the peacekeeping force himself is so cautious optimism by saying that over the course of this day they hadnt registered a single shot, said western europe. But the agreement was signed by the heads of 3 states. And its being implemented in full, most importantly, kinds of operations have ceased, income tanks, arms around the territory, we no longer his shots being fired, and the situation is gradually stabilizing. Since the onset of the conflict, there had been incredible diplomatic pressure on both sides to deescalate repeated ceasefire attempts by russia by the United States. And nothing seemed to hold until the 10th of november, when president vladimir putin, himself mediated, the latest cease fire, one that is held one that was signed by both the president of us here by john and the Prime Minister of armenia. What everyone was happy about the terms of that cease fire. Many people are upset about the territories that as yet, but john sees the territories that are to be handed over to is it about john many, many people here, especially in armenia. Protesters gathered near the state offices, attempted to besiege. 3 government offices demanded the resignation of the Prime Minister, who himself said that there was no eternity of the military face total collapse and that there was catastrophe on the horizon. You know that the danger hasnt passed. They could still be flare ups plus this huge crisis uncertainty with thousands upon thousands, tens of thousands of refugees whove been displaced from their homes, whose villages, who is who 10 towns and businesses have been destroyed. Many of them choose to when fleeing the crisis suit. When fleeing from, from their homes choose to burn them, rather than see them end up in the hands of a set of by johnnies in. Is it about john . The mood is somewhat different. People are happy. Theyre satisfied with the outcome of the war. Many people say that what has happened is historic justice those are common citizens of solution as i say the ceasefire is holding for now there hes cautious optimism that it will continue to take hold and that the conflict, the hot phase of the conflict is now over the nevertheless. d a lot of uncertainty, theres a lot of books still to do. We saw again, optimistic signs yesterday when there was an exchange of the remains of killed soldiers dead soldiers between as you know, by john and with russia mediating nevertheless, still plenty of difficulties ahead. Lets turn attention now to the u. S. Where the 2020 president ial election is still officially on decided counting and recounting continues in a number of states more than 10 days after the vote. On the spite, the democrats being out of hand there among joe biden as well on the trip and mission trouble, ministration, remain confident that the president will secure a 2nd term. Lets listen to some what his advisors are saying. My own view. Looking at this election, we have what appears in some sense to be an immaculate deception. Were moving forward here at the white house that there will be a 2nd term Media Outlets were quick to call the election for biden. However, donald trump is yet to come see claiming the election was fraudulent. His team has launched legal challenges in several states on demanded recounts already is underway in washington d. C. Live pictures from the American Capital supporters of donald trump. Odd in force protesting the Election Results at they have been walking side the Supreme Court on the run, the city for a number of hours at people carrying fly with slogans including trump, 2020 and my country. President trump, by the way, earlier in the day greeted the crowd with a drive through in his most shirt, kate, and he said, the rally was heartwarming. We saw some counter protesters approach. Some of the Trump Supporters with police in full riot gear having to get between them as well. But largely so far its been peaceful at trump groups rallies across the country labeled the 1000000 mom. March. Ive posted official, as an independent observers have said, there is no indication of wrongdoing in the election in a letter to the trump administration. Election officials call the 2020 vote the most secure in american history. But a recent poll suggests widespread public concern about meall in voting on the potential for wrongdoing. We discussed the issue with the number of guests, some Bureaucratic Agency saying they think it was the most secure election ever. Thats fine, but we, the people have a right and a campaign has to get to the bottom of this. And if we get to the bottom of the process, the rule of law, the constitution this, that our founders knew how to set this up. Weve had other elections where there either was allegations of fraud or enough questions of fraud that they changed the election. So lets get to the bottom of it. Lets see what happens. Georgia has a republican governor, a republican cheap elections officer, 2 republican president s, Republican Senate governor. Its all republicans involved in this vote count. So youre telling me that republicans coronated it was fired against the president of the United States to create this, this loss that are obviously is attributed now to going to truck in some state dept president obama is lecturing the American People on concession when Hillary Clinton and the democrats in Congress Never conceded the present, trump, they never stop digging into him. But look out, all im saying is dont accept the results until we get to the bottom of it. Then we should. The question is whether democrats would accept the results if we get to the point where we find big fraud. Bottom line is it doesnt matter whos counting, it doesnt matter what litigation you have. I lost that you can not do is beyond december 8th. Zimmer, 14, is the day will be Electoral College has to be and so those are 2 days im looking for. If anyone tries to violate those dates, now youre in a constitutional crisis, and now you are impacting the transfer of power. That is constitutionally mandated by january when republicans supporting Donald Trumps fraud allegations are putting democracy on a dangerous path that has, according to former u. S. President barack obama. However, the current leaders allegations of wrongdoing are far from the 1st leveled out an American Election of the hawkins reports. Theres a common theme in the media when it comes to the possibility of irregularities in the u. S. President ial election. Its a ludicrous claim that there chris, every vote counts, but when someone gets enough votes to win, the loser concedes that is what happens in this country. Described as unfounded ludicrous and baseless allegations made by President Trump and his Campaign Team remain just that allegations until proven otherwise in courts of law. But such controversies are nothing new. Ask former president barack obama. I come from chicago. So i want to be honest. Its not as if its just republicans who monkeyed around with elections in the past. Sometimes democrats have to and his jerry, not another democrats on the current chairman of the house judiciary committee. In my experience in new york paper ballots are extremely susceptible to freud. Your paper with no machines, i can show you, i can show you experience, which would move your head spin, wasnt alone the 2004 election saw concerns raised about multiple aspects of the voting process on key swing state, ohio saw democrat candidate john kerry question whether the outcome represented the will of the voters and the d. N. C. Chairman agreed. Im not confident that the election in ohio was fairly decided. We know that there was substantial Voter Suppression and the machines were not reliable. He should not be a surprise that the republicans are willing to do things that are an ethical to manipulate elections. Thats what we suspect has happened. And wed like to safeguard our elections so that democracy can still be counted on to work. Former u. S. President jimmy carter cochair, the federal election reform commission, which states that in 2005, that mail in voting is fraught with the risk of forward coercion. Hes since backtracked on that plane, but remains scathing about elections in the United States. The american political system wouldnt measure up to any sort of International Standards for several reasons. Lack of Central Election Commission capable of issuing uniform rules, lack of equal access to the media for all viable candidates. And the inability to conduct recounts the election process in america has of course, come a long way. In the 19th century voting was controlled by gangs who would broadly bore, coerce voters. It looked Something Like this. Im all for it, my boy to form an alliance with you against bill cutting and is slated later this candidates go hsieh to hand some people every vote you sent them a nice way in the coming elections. Things became less violence and more nuanced in the 20th century. Lyndon johnson ended up winning a primary. He was losing in texas by just 87 votes. All thanks to the last minute appearing of a ballot box full of votes for johnson. This pave the way to his rise in politics and later presidency. It was scandal at the time, but a mission took years to emerge. James, and did not win that election. It was students for him. And i know exactly how it was done. The 2000 bush gore election controversy has been cited by some as a comparison to 2020. Results in the deciding state will close with the Supremes Court giving bush the nod. But the result could have been very different. Thousands of voters in florida were labeled felons, preventing them from voting. Bushs brother also happens to be the states governor. No Major Law Firm in florida would work for al gore, even democratic, even democratic oriented law firms, because everyone was afraid of antagonizing the bush family. And the governor and losing important state business in this election cycle could perhaps be summed up best by joe biden himself, we have put together, i think the most extensive and Inclusive Voter Fraud Organization in the history of american politics. Of course, this was just an ironic slip of the tongue biden was really talking about the democrats vote, a protection program. For many though, the issue with the president ial election 2020 may not be the result itself or even of trumps claims are all true or not. Against the backdrop of election controversies spanning decades, its the total dismissal and reluctance to even investigate the allegations that will continue to polarize voters for years to come. Or with many expecting to see joe biden in the oval office come january. We her been assessing his history as regards foreign policy, the latest edition of going underground, available now on our teeth. Dot com, spoke with a former special adviser to barack obama under biden, served as the do you think its a mistake to see . Trump is some kind of bolt from the blue, someone who broke in a fundamental way with american traditions. Because trumps isolationism, his unilateralism, his protectionism, his racism, all of those actually buttes have very strong roots in american history. Going back to the founders, going back to the late 17 hundreds. And in some ways, i think trump has demonstrated himself to be a very acute politician because hes been able to tap in to that different narrative that different version of american, except exceptionalism america is the city on the hill that stands aloof from the world. Not a country that goes out to change the world. And so right now, i think, as biden prepares to take office, we do see the country going through a searching debate about the nature of its role moving forward. And my own view is its time for the country to find the middle ground between where it was in the pre pearl harbor era, which was doing too little and running away from the world where it has been more recently, which is drawing, trying to do too much particularly in the middle east, to find that stable middle ground to step back, but not to step away from here to the International Still ahead for summit in france or awarding the jobs will go through life. Will be done by age, deal with her have plans to build a new wind farm in the countrys western rules region. That story coming your way is you will be a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safe. Isolation for community, are you going the right way . Or are you being led by what is true . What is right . In the world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths. For a mate in the shallowness. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to us from the world of politics. Sports business, im show business. Ill see you then after a big spike in crime, the us city of minneapolis has approved a cash injection for its police department. The force will get an extra half a 1000000. 00, the majority of which will be used to recruit more officers. However many are recalling an earlier pledge by the city council to dismantle the police force in the wake of the death of a black man following an altar cation with local officers. The death of george floyd sparked months of nationwide protests was has been a deadly year. Homicides in minneapolis have almost doubled since last year with 73 killing for portages so far in 2020. Shootings have also reached a decade high with 500 people shot this year. Violent crime was well over 4 and a half. As an instance of being reported. Making matters worse is a stuffing shortage of around 100. 00 officers leaving the local police force since the start of the year. Our resources are hemorrhaging. Our city is bleeding at this moment. Im trying to do all i can to stop that bleeding. And im starting that having the funds to, to launch a citywide joining force me team initiatives. We can try to try to stop the bleeding here in our city. Betsy breitner smith, a spokesperson for the u. S. National police association, say the funding Law Enforcement simply needs citizens will protect the crime, started to skyrocket, Violent Crime is out of control in certain parts of the city of minneapolis. And so this, this notion of defunding, the Police Actually hurt not just the police, but its actually harming the citizens. What were also seeing is the more resources you take away from Police Officers, the Less Community policing there are. And the more Police Officers get hurt. People are not dying quickly of covert 19 in the city of minneapolis. Yes, people are getting sick from cope with 19. Most people in the United States recover quickly for from covert. You dont recover from being murdered in order to keep the citizen safe. Theyre going to have to learn how to live with Police Officers. The Minneapolis Police department is one of the most Progressive Police departments in the United States. The french fishing industry is opposing plans to build an offshore wind farm in the western brittany region, saying it will damage livelihoods, of as well as sea life. However, the french president is pushing forward with the idea as part of his drive towards Renewable Energy sources. Surely do pinskys been looking further into the story for us . Fishing is a way of life. Pay off the coast of brittany every morning fishermen head off to sea in the hope of catching their bedroom. But theyre now not alone. A Renewable Energy company is also trying to get it hooks into this areas natural resources. The strong winds in tights here make the coast around the area which is near song creek perfect for an offshore wind farm. 62 turbines are planned with the site expected to be operational in the next 3 years, but fishermen are determined to sink the project. Our leaders have been clear if they dont get answers to their questions, they say there cannot be a wind farm. That is a certainty, like our committers president. He says he would rather die standing and find this project than let it happen. The fisherman cannot be developed. The wind farm is important. Politically french president not growing, has attempted to portray himself as being an environmental champion. Now he hopes that wind power could generate almost a faith of frances electricity by 2028, partly from offshore turbines. Yet one Campaign Group says the construction of the wind farms is an environmental disaster. Congress has said they are back out here as one long to put asia when you install a wind farm in a protected zone. The environmental damage is close. It will destroy the reach sea life and small scale fishing will disappear. The government has tried to offer compensation, but it cant compensate damage to the sea. There is no compensation for loss of sea life. We also have the biggest natural reserve in brittany because we are in the migration corridor for birds. And there is no compensation for the destruction of birds. The wind from project is said to be exacerbating of tensions too, just the other side of where it plans. Its the oil of jersey, where fishing is also an important economy. Its no exaggeration to say that jersey fishermen are not able to access large areas of their own waters because it is simply covered in french, french nets, french gear. He says, thats because french fishermen have been pushed all their own waters because of the wind farm. When those vessels, which are now turning up and increasing. Yes, it too are in jerseys waters to an extent that our system and can no longer access huge areas of our own sea of our own waters. So that it is causing just on the set of all levels of hardship such as a fisherman. Its got its creating conflict between the fishermen and french fisherman. And it certainly creating it board has created sustainable levels of fishing expedition. The Company Responsible for the construction of the wind from says it continues to study the impact it has on the environment and for the french government. This project is one key front, moving toward 3, nubile energy sources. But locals here are determined to do everything they can to scupper that. Brittany.
