In the United States, becoming the 1st european country to sign up with the stories from the past 7 days on right up to the moment developments. Welcome to the weekly on r. T. My names you know neil. The shooting stopped in the disputed region of the uk. This week. Armenia and azerbaijan signed a historic peace deal brokered by russia ending some 7 weeks of bloodshed as part of the truce. Moscow deployed military personnel to the front line to monitor the cease fire that the police had issued. What is happening in karabakh is a truly great tragedy. I want to note with great satisfaction, the outlined compromise and the agreements reached on ending the bloodshed. I hope that all the steps we have taken recently will lead to the establishment of a long term peace for the benefits of move as a body and armenia under the new peace deal, both sides will hold on to their current military positions know about leaves, armenia, in control of this, the pilot kurt capital of the disputed region over here issues she, which will go to their target just before hostilities ended in armenia, will also and this is a contentious issue, will also up the handover 3 further districts in the region here. Here and here. Meanwhile, russian peacekeepers have been deployed to the socalled chin corridor that is the only major road link between nagornokarabakh and armenia. The russian contingent includes nearly 2000 personnel and almost 400 vehicles and specialist equipment. The mission will last 5 years with an Automatic Extension if required. Youre a violent. Meanwhile, have presented the truce in very different ways to their people. 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. This is not a victory, but there will be a defeat unless you recognize yourself as a loser. We will never recognize ourselves as losers, and this should ear of National Unification and revival. For my part, i would like to say that im very glad that today weve sealed the deal to settle the years long conflict between armenia and azerbaijan, and put an end to the occupation as a vision land. News of the truce led to widespread anger and despair in armenia, where the violent unrest in the capital. Many people see the peace deal as a capitulation. I was i, i, i, i thank i, you call it pushing young, betrayed us here, traitor. Hes a peak. How he could do this to us. This decision is a step in the back for all armenians. I believe he exists. Thank you, larry, because im going to get made a speech or a via facebook and that on television. He made a federalist last post. The last few days havent appeared in public. Yeah. I didnt mention today that he paid for it. Like when you sign a deal, he knew he needed to do the kind of what youre the situation just come on being arrested today. But all right, now behind me this thing taken over to the right place with the protesters on media following behind is a very small amount of down the street. So its hard to say whether this is the general trend of the majority of the population and all of the very vocal minority get off coming even to protest. But what will come, he said, is what i mean, they arent sure where we are and short of following mondays deal. Im the way they are expressing it is slightly different now with control of large parts of a quarter car. Back armenians. There are fleeing their homes, some have even burned dollars on property, so theyre not left to the enemy. They see it. But on the other side of the conflict, people in baku have greeted the ceasefire as a national victory. Taking to the streets in celebration. We spoke to the red cross spokesperson in nagornokarabakh, on the former canadian ambassador to armenia as well. They both say the truce is crucial for thousands of people. The impact of this, like the think you mentioned across the region im hoping will give us a team and their life down on the 80000, people who hope to leave their homes. Now you search for safety in all or wrote 21 were not horrible. Mellicent economy, you know, these people are in need or who cant make it and who are maybe being a few fans pandering to support for a few people might think its a sham. Theres nothing wrong with patriotic commotion when they are directed with such hostility toward the other side from both sides. It takes great creativity to counsel people to, to learn again, to live together. Its going to depend on the extent to which russian leaders change the complete cooperation of the leaders of the 2 countries in year 2000, very well trained. Russian troops will be very effective. But what will be most effective will be self discipline. On the part of the 2 sides, and i think that can only be obtained through communication from moscow. Masses of donald trump, supporters of the sended on washington d. C. For a weekend of rallies in support of the president as he continues to contest the outcome of the 2020 u. S. Election that has led to tension in the capital where the clashes broke out on saturday. As kuntar protesters confronted trump, supporters Authorities Say one person was stabbed down a further 20 arrests made. Police also say they have been responding to multiple reports of altercations between extreme left and right wing groups. Some just blocks away from the white house, from backers have been spurred by the president s allegations of widespread electoral fraud and taken to the streets to demand a recount. While Media Outlets have already cold the election for joe biden, some democrat voices are adding to the tension by calling for revenge on anybody who has supported donald trump. If past to lose the neighbors have to live, they have to. We have to collectively, in essence, burn down the republican party. We have to level them because if there are survivors, if there are people who weathered this storm, they will do it again. Threats like these arent only being heard from rank and file liberals. Some of the loudest voices are saying, if you dont care what the liberal program, good luck finding a job. Security. Sympathize with those dealing with losing is not easy. When one has to think not only about whats best for the nation peaceful transfer of power, but how any future employers might see your character defined during adversity. Caitlin collins just reported white house staff are starting to look for jobs. Employers considering them should know there are consequences for hiring anyone who helped trump attack american values. Find out how at the trump accountability project, the trump accountability project mentioned there was just recently found it likely with the goal of naming and shaming those who work for Trumps Administration so they can find any more work. Congresswoman alexandria causing a cortez also raised a lot of eyebrows with a tweet singing a similar to is anyone archiving these trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future . I foresee decent probability of many deleted tweets writings, photos in the future. And who could forget the Mainstream Media trying to sabotage trump at every step of his presidency is one thing. But now many want to prosecute him. Its all very different to the message of solidarity and bringing the country together that we heard in bidens victory speech to make progress. We have to stop treating our opponents as enemies. There will be no blue states and red states when we were just the United States of america. Maybe a supporters got the wrong idea because repressing red votes out of existence wont necessarily make them blue. From supporters of conservatives have been canceled and banned and blacklisted the famed and metered religulous league for the last 4 years, especially by Mainstream Media. By far left agitators, people losing their jobs or simply supporting the president , people having their homes, dogs, people being attacked from supporters are of been through all of this. Theyve survived the last 4 years. Theyre actually when ive been seeing more bold to get outspoken to stand up, to not be afraid of these tactics anymore. And the democrats, i believe a lot of people do that. We have a plan for a permanent democrat majority in this country. So republicans could never get elected in federal elections in this country. And you know, sort of march in there, one Party Socialist and counting and recounting is still ongoing, nearly 2 weeks after election day, and questions surrounding the role of the Electoral College of also heightened concerns over the integrity of the voting system. Lets briefly go through it the Electoral College teams to prevent their congress or the public for having a complete influence or say in the folds within the system. Each of americas 50 states choose elect tours. Their number differs from state to state population being a primary factor to win the county that needs a majority. All the electors, however, critics of the system stress it is unfair. That doesnt equate to one person. One vote in many other countries. Guess the sky, its potential flaws. We know republicans always win texas, just like democrats always win california. In what i tell voters here to try and get them to vote. Libertarian, as i say, your vote will have no impact on the outcome of the election. So go ahead and vote for a 3rd party like libertarians if you want. That example demonstrates how the Electoral College does make a lot of voters preferences. Not very influential. I would love to see a much smaller, less powerful government so that we really didnt care. So much who won the election, theres no rule identification of fraud in the us voting system. We have a secure system. What you have is a level of mistrust between both sides of this 2 party system who always believes the other side is cheating, even though i think its more of an american thing where we dont trust this money more like our sport. We believe the other side is the plating the ball of outgoing president. We know that he tends to have more tangent than normal. That has no relation to the electorial college. We are technologically advanced enough to simply count the votes. I think we need to even move beyond the compact and have a system book, of course in representation. We have a long history in United States of 3rd 4th and 5th parties trying to break into the political system in the dance. Because before theres even discussion of the contract, we have this richard 2 party system that is based on that, its a call. So that contact again is a 1st step in the right direction, but its still not enough. Lets bring it to lots in america on peru or interim president. Manuel merino has resigned this sunday, just 6 days after taking office in osman. Coming in response to the protests that have turned deadly since the appointment of the new government. 2 people died in the peruvian capital on saturday after a rally in support of another former president martin biscardi descended into violence. He was always the just last week. Corruption claims his supporters call it a coup that spark nation protests also government protests being staged for a 14 consecutive weekend in the valorous capital. Dozens were reportedly detained by Security Forces during or theorised demonstration in the center and similar taney asleep. People also gathered in memory of a fellow opposition supporter who died this week in hospital. As the 9 allegations about his injuries were the result of Police Tactics that started in august with the public opposition figures calling the results of the president ial election. Its also seen people come to protest in the u. K. City of liverpool. 25 arrests were made over violations of the hundreds turned out for the rally on watching or change National Still ahead. Early signs suggest russias job is 92 percent effective. After the break. We hear from hungarys top diplomat. Budapest is planning to get on board with the facts of the world is driven by a dream shaped. We dare to ask so what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have. Its crazy. Let it be an arms race theory. Dramatic developing. And i dont see how that strategy will be successful, very critical. Time to sit down and talk. The makers of russia have been given a confidence boost as the latest trial data suggests, it is 92 percent effective. The drug is in the 3rd stage of testing mass production is expected soon with nationwide vaccinations to fall the World Health Organization as other the job to its list of emergency use drugs. Several countries including india and brazil, have already placed orders on hungary become the 1st european nation to sign up for sputnik to be. Budapest will run its own trials of the drug in a few weeks, them to hungary and foreign minister who spoke to us. In fact, while recovering from having caught covert 92, my colleague neil harvey corp is key to overcoming the pun. Demick. Anytime international cooperation, based on mutual respect, is now and should be left behind other countries on the basis we should think about how to cooperate. So sometimes i have the feeling that the issue of the vaccines is becoming the size, which i think should be again, we are crossing fingers for all companies and countries which are hoping for developing the vaccine regardless what they are. So we are interested in india, american named their russian in the chinese indies for the Vaccine Development and research to be successful. You know, shooting with everybody including russia. Of course. Yeah. If this is correct of reports, that hunger is going to be buying some russian vaccines in december like you said you were looking at all. d the options, is there any concern though about how that will be met to response from other countries . Because as we say these things are often politicized lucca, these should be avoided. So now its a vote. Be a light for the people. Always anytime political aspects should be left behind. Well, as the world waits for a viable covert vaccine finding a job isnt the only challenge another is how to make it accessible while rich countries can afford stockpiling. Probes pero ones often lack the specialist storage equipment needed or t. Shirt to do this, he picks up the story for us within hours of pharmaceutical giant pfizer and by own tech announcing that couvade 900. 00 vaccine was 90 percent effective that you swooped in and signed on the dotted line and europe wasnt alone. Massive deals, have also been struck with the u. S. The u. K. , egypt, pan, canada, and new zealand, leading some n. G. O. S to question whether this is just a vaccine, full rich nations. Its worrying that pfizer bio n tech has already struck deals with rich countries for more than a 1000000000 doses of its vaccine, leaving less than a quarter of its projected supply for the rest of the world. Big pharma profits must not be prioritized over the health of billions. Now, the European Commission has been clear and Member States can decide what to do with their vaccine doses. And that includes the option of to meeting them to lower and, middle income countries. The u. , its unlikely to help a lot because it is in deep trouble itself. And many poor countries are not going to be able to be all the support it spends if coaching, infrastructure, and storage on time to deliver the missing. This vaccine needs to be stored at minus 70 degree celsius, requiring a special freezer of the type that isnt widely available even in europe and america. Meaning countries will have to build deep freeze storage and Transportation Networks from scratch to keep the vaccine from becoming useless. Its production is costly, its component is unstable. It also requires call chain transportation and has a short shelf life. The requirement for extremely cold temperatures is likely to cause spoilage a lot of vaccine. The price tag in building these and the difficulties in administrating the required 2 shots within a month, may be too much of a burden for my nations, leaving them essentially frozen out. Some n. G. O. S of cool. Dont follow on tech, to clarify how the vaccine will be made accessible outside high income countries. And they want the firms to make their Vaccine Technology available via a w h o scheme. So billions of doses can be produced as quickly and this cheaply as possible. Now thats unlikely, because when scheme was launched, pfizer made its feelings clear, i think is nonsense and at this point of time, its also dangerous. Theres a giant effort right now happening to find solutions. The risks were taking represent billions of dollars and the chances of developing something is still not very good. And adding insult to injury the day. The vaccine was announced, the c. E. O. Of fine, so many 5600000. 00 worth of company stock. Now pfizer says that this was a scheduled transaction once the stock hit a certain value, but for many this was a cold shower. Of a reminder, the big pharma is also big money. So a vaccine for coated 19 may be closer, which of course is good news. Well, for those who can at least afford it, i say, centralize, profit seeking, period with market in some way. Because the last country to be called that really determines when the pandemic its going to the one who paid for it get it 1st. I mean, we complain much, but the point is really if it is eventually optimal for them to leave all these poor countries untreated because they could eventually travel back to the bric countries at the same time. Profit incentive shouldnt be in the mind. The worlds greatest invention and treatments are marked by products. Well, a new medical study has added to the urgency of finding a vaccine it follow and that catching cold at 19 can correlate with the philip ing mental disorders. The study was run by the university of oxford, it funded one in 5 virus patients go on to develop Mental Health issues within 3 months of testing positive. The analysis was based on 69000000 u. S. Medical records, more than 62000 of them had covert. Well, a majority of disorders linked to the disease or a car to rise by feelings of worry or fear in some cases Strong Enough to make everyday life seem on bearable. The include adjustment disorder, posttraumatic, stress disorder, panic attacks, insomnia, and even dementia. We talk to a call or throw up the study earlier. The short answer is that we dont know yet, and we have to do more research to find out, you know, we can start to speculate about what might be the reasons. And i think there might be 2 main reasons. One is psychological, the other one is biological. The psychological one is quite intuitive. It is, you know, people suffer with the 19 which is quite scary in itself and the fear of having a potentially life limiting in this might cause things like anxiety and depression. And theres also a possible biological explanation, which is that it is possible that sounds good to say the very virus that causes of it 19 my get into the brain. We do that. Do we dont know yet as far as i know, where the sask of 2 does, but its possible that it does. And in that way it might, it might be affecting the brain and damaging the brain if you will. Within the biological explanation is also an inflammatory explanation. So we know that too, as a virus, causes an information throughout the body that can be, can expand well beyond the lungs. And it may be that inflammatory response also involves the brain. And if thats the case, that in my view that the inflammation to the immune response of the body mount against the infection might be the cause of the cycle. Given that theres going to be more people suffering with Mental Illness as a result of team, we need to make sure that there is service is provided for those people in therapy provided for the people. We know the things that he depression, for instance, for example, is all treatable, diseases. Most people that we receive treatment for anxiety, depression do get better. And so its very important that those treatments are available to all that need them. During the pandemic, were going behind bars next here on r. T. International to examine why people confess to crimes they didnt commit false confessions begins in moments. I was always on the bull, but at least i show big city bright lights. You jump, but you know, g. s and many dangers of the race that occur when youre blatantly to do its also a city where up to 300000. 00 crimes are committed every year for the last little bit more than your mosque. Its still to the reserve least one Police Officer for every 200 residents in russias capital cost on our list. I think your response, we all put in the troops that going out there with an outdoor assume that most of the people would have to last join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics, sport thats less im show business. Ill see that the new gold rush is underway and gonna thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields, hoping to strike it. Rich is a good, as they opened to those that were children, a tool in between gold and education. My family was very poor. I thought i was doing my best to get back to school. Which side will have the strongest appeal . Ah you were a police werent going to haul so i think youre talking about a murder case. Youre really into it. You leave that up. I just said you want your collateral damage. Youre not going home. I can guarantee they wont come back to wrongful conviction. What you say today were going to be doing a deep dive into an issue as fascinating as it is to our finding, which is the phenomenon of false confessions. And my guest today is going to be jane fisher, are you also currently working on 4 cases involving false confessions and each is fascinating its own way. So jane, while some confession happened to me here, and jane is an attorney who is an expert on false confessions. And so jane, how did you get into this work . I was a public defender in manhattan here in new york city for about 3 years. And we saw a lot of police misconduct, you know, we were doing arraignments up until 1 am in the morning and you see people beat up or, you know, people whose cases get dismissed, who get no compensation. So my husband and i left the Legal Aid Society with the hopes of doing civil rights work. My name is sean castle. Im a distinguished professor of psychology at John Jay College of criminal justice. Once a false confession, a stake in the case is closed to nobody really can tell the difference between a good confession and one that is a problem with all of this is that the or tactics that can be used to get innocent people. And i dont just mean vulnerable, innocent people, i mean people who are sitting around in this room to confess to crimes. They didnt commit
