And surprising facts about the american election, while some might expect a clear difference between trump and by the biden supporters in terms of gender and race. But the reality seems more complex with trump gaining more minority votes than 4 years ago. We discussed the issue with our guests. And then the politics really died in 16. Its like being donald trump is right. But show me that youre not racist as well. Weve got to move forward to a future in it when we see each other beyond the color code for anybody is stupid plus, israel is in talks with russia over the purchase of the sputnik can be. Corona virus vaccine. We speak to the c. E. O. Of israels top hospital as the Medical Center in jerusalem orders over a 1000000 doses of russias shot which is currently in its final stage of testing. We are, she sure did the written books the easy to see into the b. B. To she she couldnt do with the books you need to do is coming to you live from our world news headquarters in moscow. This is our international. Im donald quarter joining you in the studio here. Welcome to the program. Now we start with news from armenia where the countrys president has called. d early parliamentary elections and navigable saying the government should resign the answer and comes as the country is gripped by mass protests, sparked by the truce deal between azerbaijan and armenia over nagornokarabakh earlier Prime Minister. Nicol passion, young took responsibility for signing what some have called a humiliating agreement, but said the armenian people should not judge him without all the details. Us one with expansion, there is no doubt for me that i am the main official responsible for whats happened, that i am responsible in the context of what happened. But there are no discrepancies here. I am aware, as before, in this case, roughly speaking, i must be brought to justice by the people. But in order for the people to be judges, they must have the information about the circumstances we are accused of to meet really contradictory things. The fact that we signed the paper surrendering the territories and that we did not sign it soon enough to surrender the regions. So theres been a lot of talk over the last 7 days about what should happen to me from protests in opposition parties. But its the 1st clear statement from someone to give the president what should happen and a pathway to conduct a government of National Unity and make both of those. We lost the war imposed on us both on the battlefield and in diplomatic and international platforms. You can lose a battle, but its unacceptable to lose as a nation. We have a Concern Society and a damaged economy that is burdened with massive social issues. It is obvious that in order to avoid internal political upheaval Holding Early parliamentary elections is inevitable. It was here just behind me 7 days ago in the public square, where for almost to the hour actually where the protests this 1st gathered and broke into the government building behind me, the anger was really harsh initially on the project that continued a week, there was that there was more protests this evening, started freedom square, moved on to the prosecutor generals office. But its the 1st time weve had from, from someone within that, within the armenian political system that you know for what they think that could happen. Alessandro bruno of gulf state analytics believes the public outcry in armenia over the truce was to be expected. This is not going to be a very easy situation, even if elections are called quickly. And i believe the president hopes for a government of National Unity that may be too much of a hope. This war was entered into without the proper calculations. It was a moving proposition from the start. I mean, fact, everything went against the armenian side. So it was important to stop this and i think must be at least praise for stopping the conflict before things got out of hand. But it was predictable that this would happen. Politically, obviously, if you entered into a war like this, that means you havent delivered what you promised when you came into power. Remind you, last week, armenia and azerbaijan signed a peace deal. And it is 6 weeks of fighting over the new enclave. Both sides will hold on to their current military positions which gives armenia control of the disputed regions capital of step on the kurds. And also by john gets the 2nd largest city of shushi, which it took just days before the fighting ended. Armenia will also have to hand over 3 other districts in the region, and baku says it will quote, take care of the territories it gained via the conflict. In particular, the Christian Churches and monasteries located there who has extended the deadline for armenia to pull out its troops and civilians from those districts, thousands of residents, there are fleeing their homes and even burning them down so as not to leave them to those who they see as the enemy we heard from people who had to make that painful decision. We had a good life. And now we have what we have. Now we are tearing down the houses. We built off so i dont know what will happen next. And i dont know what to say, what can i see . Its hard to speak about it. I know one thing for sure. I wouldnt even want my, anybody to find himself in a situation like this. Ive lived here for 20 years, and now im a refugee. We are taking down our houses and i dont know where we are going. I had little build in my house for 12 years. Now im taking it down. It is very hard, very hard, but we do not have any other choice. Meanwhile, russias sending peacekeepers to monitor the cease fire between armenia and azerbaijan after moscow brokered that deal to stop the bloodshed in a go in a car, a buck. These are some of the latest pictures of russian equipment, hundreds of vehicles and personnel landing in armenia. The patrol is currently modern monitoring the cease fire and assisting with the exchange of Fallen Soldiers to mining and clearing the territory is also part of the peacekeeping mission and in total it will last 5 years with an Automatic Extension if required. The truce is already allowing some refugees to return home overnight. Almost 500. 00. Armenians came back from the capital year of on to the disputed regions. Largest city of step on a curt russian peacekeepers are also overseeing a convoy of 19 buses, full of people. Arties is on the way to the peacekeeping mission sent this report. While the peacekeeping force that is supposed to be stationed in the garden, has almost been brought up to full strength. We witnessed this morning get another very large convoy of russian peacekeepers making their way that i could make a buck with. Aside from that 2000 about 2000 peacekeepers, the russian side has also published a detailed map of what the area in the garden will look like the operations of the Russian Peacekeeping mission. Theyll be observation posts, monitoring stations in the northern area, 9 in the southern area. And 7 in the achaeans key corridor, a thin strip of land connecting me mia to the pro armenian you know, theres, theres a lot of anger with the way the war turned out. Theres a lot of sadness with how many people have died and the ultimately people are just thankful that it is concluded already. Hopeless with russians, they are all saviors need. The us, no, europe helped us. The International Community was signed in throughout these times. In our Prime Minister sold this land. It was only the russians who came to save us, but our nation has lost everything. Nothing is left. I beg lushington, help us to let that rest, leave well on our own. Its painful, of course, but we see Russian Troops are coming. Hopefully they will keep the peace. The Russian Peacekeeping mission. Instead, they kept is axing as a sort of mediation headquarters that is organize a communication between the 2 sides if it directly between media and as it about john, they have already organized, for example, an exchange of the remains of soldiers whod been killed and whose bodies both sides were unable to collect. Things are being very differently on the, by johnny side, out of the there isnt quite the sadness that the reason the armenian side, theyve made tremendous gains areas that they believe are historically. Theres the recognized internationally, as i said by john in people who had been forced to evacuate 30 years ago. And now overjoyed that theyre heading back to whom the been unable to return to for 30 years is in peace. I am so grateful to our soldiers and our president , he will return there with great pleasure, as this is our last and then use about the liberation and cross pontiff return has put behind all the hardship weve had for all this years and want to have to me now, im so happy that our lands are liberated and grateful to all who made this country. Im so joyful to return to my land well waiting for a signal from the government to return. Were already packing up our stuff. Over the course of this 6 week conflict that had been many attempts to establish a ceasefire. International attempts by russia by the United States could also pressure from all over the world. And nothing seemed to hold until the 10th of november when russian president Vladimir Putin help mediate this latest ceasefire, which was signed by the president of us here by john the Prime Minister of armenia and which is held there is however, an enormous amount of work to be done, there is an enormous amount of uncertainty about the, the 10s of thousands of refugees that have been displaced from their homes, from their villages over the course of this conflict. Uncertainty about their future, where theyll return to if, if theyll return to their homes. A tool with theres also a huge amount of problems with the humanitarian situation in the go in the car bomb, there is a lack of the basic medicine there is lack of services. Heating in very cold temperatures. Will boost of this is now the priority. Stablish in livable conditions of making sure sure people have some way to or should theres still no official winner in the u. S. President ial election, but the fallout from the vote has spurred new talking points. One has been identity politics, backfiring for candidates as both joe biden and donald trump might be wondering what went wrong in the ballots. In the demographic breakdown. Some and some unexpected twists came for donald trump, who lost support among white males. A group he won over decisively in 2016. However, he gained 4 Percentage Points with the africanamerican and hispanic communities. And it was the latino vote that helped him swing florida in his favor. Asian americans also shifted to the republicans in 2020 with a 7 percentage point increase. Earlier my colleagues tailor discuss those new voting trends with our expert panel. Then the politics really died in 2016. In the eyes of average americans, of course not in the media, not in the far left is not the Democrat Party because they are, they remain so out of touch with real americans. That average america with normal people, really, people who are only so for them, they could send you more, bring on this identity, politics narrative. They continue to get even crazier and their ideas, their myths about oppression and racism to spiral. And they dont even deeper. But of course were seeing is that more and more minorities were voting for donald trump in 2016, even with l. G. B. Ts that his support among l. G. B ts according to the New York Times since 26. 00 team as much as the left in the me, you know, the Democratic Party just hold on this narrative that donald trump is a races. Is this narrative that republicans, you know, hate minorities or whatever. A lot of people were listening and they decided to vote with their wallets. Theyd buy it with their conscience and stop that democrats and he should as they say, lets take a look at by 10, because one of the moments that drew a bit of conciseness when he said to a block in tokyo, he said, if you havent decided they are going to vote for democrats that quote, you aint black. Now, some said this is a really divisive, almost patronize him type of identity politics. Do you agree with that . Whats your take after he told the person who was interviewing him, called charlemagne. The guy that if you like, if you dont know you, if you dont vote for biden, you like why . He also cut charlemagne off as charlemagne. Try to ask questions about, you know, what are you buying plans for the black community . What, you know, black Community Expect in return for their vote by him say, you know what, i got to go. I cant go on with this interview. And to me that came across as blatant disrespect. And i believe that a lot of people in the black Community Felt completely disrespected by the Democratic Party during this election. Not only did they not fountain, what we can expect in response are involved. They also began to put out mercial that were disrespectful. Its really interesting that a lot of the policy is in response to the black community, not investing in the marketing of the campaign, campaigning in certain black communities. That didnt happen, but also can tell you less people that they can expect anything like reparation in return for their vote. You know, its one thing to say donald trump is racist, but show me that youre not racist as well in. And i dont think the Democratic Party did, and they suffered because a lot of people to, you know, turn their back on the current. Well, i think the elections showed that many minorities got tired of this rhetoric and, and we saw from the Democratic Party, especially here in florida. They lost a few seats, especially because theres, theres an attitude to believe that latinos, especially for some reason, they are a one Topic Community which is basically based on immigration. I think latinos got very upset about this because in the end, no matter where youre a black, latino, asian, i dont want to be seen as a brown person. I dont think any black person wants to be seen as a black person in terms of the color of their skin. I think weve got to move forward into the future in it when we see each other, beyond the color of anybody you skin and were able to look at each other for what we stand for, what we believe in and not because we have grown wide like skin, which i think is ridiculous, and the democrats paid a high price for this. And if they continue doing this down the road, especially in the next 2 years, they will lose the house. And this is not a victory. I would say, i think that would happen in this election was simply that a lot of republicans, they agreed with donald trump, his policies, but they didnt agree with his demeanor. And i think that that had a huge impact in the election, especially among white men. Still to come this hour on r t, its been revealed. Trumps advisors may have lied to the president regarding the presence of u. S. Troops in syria. You want to hear all about that after this short break. The world is driven by, shaped by the dangers thinks we dared to ask that all bank of the people at davos and then that part of the ponzi scheme is backed by americas military. So americans, military is kind of the force behind this global ponzi scheme. So if you defund the military, then the whole house of cards crumbles. Back to the program. Now International Interest is building in russias covert 19 vaccine. Israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been in talks with lott, amir putin, over the purchase of the sputnik the shot. Our correspondent paula sleeper reports show time ago, israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a telephone conversation with the russian president Vladimir Putin, about purchasing an option on the vaccine. He said that the 2 leaders will speak in greater detail about it in the coming days. If you shock and awe, so i spoke on the phone with russian president Vladimir Putin, about the prospects of purchasing the sputnik vaccine about this. We will discuss this in the coming days. But think things. Clinical trials are currently hauffe way through phases 3 and there have been no major problems reported in terms of the formula. What we do know is that about hauffe of the 40000 volunteers who are involved in of a search have already received the injection. Theres been no reports of major ill health and we have heard from the producers that night. It stands at a 92 percent if it has seen about 30 countries have a waiting ordered. Ringback the vaccine thats according to the parties says one of the countries is israel, one of the meeting hospitals here, some Medical Clinic in jerusalem has ordered one and a half 1000000 doses. Now, earlier i caught up with the director general of the hospital who told us this, russian boxing day is safe. And this is in because siri to be different in boxing over the ward is very dense in many countries and russian is only one of the books that Russian Troops to come to the market move much dependent on them in all, no ministries in order to prevent a grave, which is on the way we are following up on the development of just books in the copper months. Not only that we should be devoted to seeing that to the government here, institution in moscow. We like the idea last month is also a spike in cases if theres not a significant increase in the number of people who taste covered positive. Is it possible that israel could stott the vaccinations before the trial concludes . And once it would be rick who lives in israel, has it all to isaac c. Well, we already have wage in and puts in buying it from them. Ok for the people who feel. d we decided decision, right port to apply to power. Hes really mean issue to submit to ration in order to be just fixing to be bop of the books into tours. But he usually minister when its executive to stage to me out to day what we can do, hes to extend to face trees, tried and true equal to and to use here. And hes and really are looking forward, maybe even to establish some line up for the action to do it seen here who can cry when you see it going to be motorized in south america and asia and in dont click in more and more countries. So the images of could be destroyed, she percent of the war would be vaccinated, but do action because she would like to be smallpox and germany could be on the verge of a 2nd National Lockdown as nations across europe prepare, tougher anti covered restrictions. Arties paper all over with more . Well the latest from berlin is the sound of a can being kicked further down the road when it comes to water restrictions and how those restrictions will be strengthened. Angela merkel, the german chancellor went into a meeting on monday with the heads of the 16 german states. Wanting to put in place stronger restrictions that would be ensuring didnt law. The heads of the local governments though they wanted to see advice and its advice. Thats where it stays, the vice is. Dont meet any more people than you really have to try and stay away from making the necessary contacts. Really, this was the result of a long meeting that went on the press conference was 3 and a half hours delayed from when it was 1st advertised, it would be, it seems that after all of that talking, theyve said theyre going to come back next wednesday. The 25th of november with a Long Term Plan for how were strictures are going to be in play. That the message coming from Angela Merkel use sat there alongside the mayor of michael miller, the head of the state of the various markets. They all said the same thing really, that the restrictions that were in place were working, but they werent working and north and that they needed to see more measures put in place. The reason they need to see more measures put in place, or at least those 3 politicians want to see more measures put in place, is because the number of covert cases in europe is rising. And weve actually heard on monday from the head of the world health organization. I think they are particularly concerned about the number of cases and medical staff being overwhelmed. Juta the rise in cases both in europe and the United States. Right now, we are extremely concerned by the surging cases. We are seeing some countries, particularly in europe and the americas, called workers who knew systems are being pushed to the breaking point. And one country that is heading into Strict Lockdown from cheese day is austria. The alpine nation putting in place some of the strictest coronavirus measures of all european nations pretty much a blanket curfew on leaving your house will be in place across australia, 24 hours a day. Youll only be able to leave to go and get food to take some exercise by yourself. Or if you need to go and care for somebody else. Schools also kindergartens, all nonessential shops. They are all going to be closed down. So thats the end could the austrian chancellor said that these measures we needed if there was to be any hope of easing them somewhat over the christmas period. Many angling hippy do appeals is for the next 4 weeks. Dont meet anyones. Every social contact is one too many. Only then can we reopen our country, step by step in december and save the christmas season. For poor francis found itself ravaged by the coronavirus. Olivia fell on the French Health minister. Has said, though, that he understands that theyve reached the peak. However, when he looks at the number of people who are dying still of coronavirus in france, he says those numbers are still far too high. Everything points to france having passed the peak of the cold, 19 epidemic, but we have not beaten the virus. Clearly is too early to say. Weve won and drop our guard. Also news coming out of sweden on monday. Sweden, of course, held up by so much the example of how to handle covert without putting in place strict rules. Well, the news is theyre going to be putting in place strict rules because allowing, leaving that up to people hasnt worked in the Prime Minister of sweden saying that there would be a cap of 8 people being allowed to mix outside of their homes. Previously thought it being a suggestion of anywhere between 50. 30 people live in announcing this saying that these measures were necessary as the country tries to get a grasp on rising covert cases. New revelations concerning the trumpet, ministrations, Foreign Policy have come to light after a high ranking diplomat admitting to keeping the president in the dark regarding troops on the ground in syria. The senior official who is now retiring has said that the actual number is much higher than officially stated. We were always playing show games to not make clear to our leadership how many troops we had. The u. S. Military operations have been ongoing in syria since 2014, without the approval of damascus. The current number of american troops known to the public stands at roughly 600. 00, and the pentagon says their role is to fight the remnants of terror groups in the region. Donald trump has ordered a full military pullout from syria several times, with the exception of a few 100 troops that remain to guard oil wells in the countrys east. According to a whistleblower diplomat, however, the u. S. Army remains at full strength. When the situation in northeast syria had been fairly stable, after we defeated isis, trump was inclined to pull out. In each case, we then decided to come up with 5 bets around humans for why we needed to stay. And we succeeded both times. Thats the story. We spoke to professor and middle east analyst, joshua landis, who believes it would be naive to think the president wasnt in the loop. Well, somebody like jeffrey probably thinks the president is a fool and that itll do his own reputation. Good. If he makes it clear that you know he suffers fools, he doesnt suffer fools lightly. Well, im sure the white house wasnt really in the dark. You know, most of us who watch syria pretty carefully understood that there were a lot more than a few hundreds of soldiers there. On the other hand, it is quite clear that the president made his wishes clear about withdrawing from syria on 2 different occasions. And he ran into a ton of opposition from the state Department Defense department, and his entire National Security establishment. They, theyre trying to roll back russia and iran maximum pressure on iran. And they didnt want the president to muck up their policy. And so they fought back vigorously, they came up with the oil excuse that they, they knew he might latch on to, but i, my, my hunch is the president was aware of what was going on, and it just wasnt worth his fight to clear out, syria and more of your world news stories, make sure to check out our website, r. T. Dot com and follow us on twitter. Ill be back with more at the top of the hour. And i hope to see you then when i was told something seemed wrong. But all told, just dont hold me to get to shape out this day. You can stick up to it and engage right . Because betrayal, when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. Hello and welcome the crosstalk. Are all things are considered . Im peter lavelle. Trump is facing probably his last battle as president. Will he triumph over the generals and will by his Foreign Policy pick up where obama left off with the neo cons. Again, be back in control. To discuss this and more, im joined by my guest, george samueli in budapest, hes an author and a you tuber apa gabble. And in moscow, im joined by dmitri. He is a political analyst and editor and interest me internet media project. All right, gentlemen, crossed up rules in effect, that means you can jump in anytime you want. And i always appreciate those going to budapest, george trump, maybe if hes not inaugurated again in january, be fighting the last battle of his term in office here in this with the pentagon. Its with the generals here and i think its being under played very much in the media. This is a very Serious Business right now. You. They didnt phatic lee clear that
