A push for more independence from this ally. A very warm welcome you are watching R T International with me. Most goes, spending more peacekeepers to its mission in the disputed region of nagornokarabakh as a week after negotiating a cease fire between armenia and azerbaijan. This is 1st surge of Russian Military equipment heading to the region. The mission will include special vehicles as well as the mining units. The patrols will monitor the cease fire and help the rebuilding process off the war correspondent to have its final report from the area. And well put that to you shortly. The head of the red cross, the International Committee has already expressed gratitude to the peacekeepers. We got reaction on the streets of the armenian capital course the school did this piece. Theyre building roads providing security. This is excellent and welcome. The fact that peace makers are in karbala, it is better in the news in it all together. The only the help comes the better even better if it had come before we suffered its losses. And armenians and russians are brotherly people. The role of the russian peacekeepers here is especially important to remind you under the peace deal, both sides will hold on to their current military positions by gives armenia control of the disputed regions, capital steps. Azerbaijan gets the 2nd largest city, which it took just before the fighting ended. Armenia will also have to handover 3 other districts in the region, but that sparks fieri among the armenian public, with some dubbing the peace deal a humiliating defeat. The countrys president is now calling on the Prime Minister to resign. 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. Unless the alessandra brunos that is the public outcry in armenia over the truce is hardly surprising. This is not going to be a very easy situation. Even if elections are called quickly. 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 losing proposition from the start. I mean, for everything went against the armenian side, or it was important to stop this thing out of your must be at least praise for stopping the conflict before things got out of hand. But it was predictable. This would happen be politically, obviously, if you entered into a war like this, that means you havent delivered what you promised when you came into power. Israels Prime Minister has held talks with a lot of putin on buying russias covert vaccine is part of growing International Interest in the sputnik the job. Our correspondent paula slayer reports the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has spoken via telephone with the russian president vladimir putin. About purchasing an option on the vaccine. He said that the 2 leaders will speak about this in greater detail in the coming days. Sputnik, these Clinical Trials are about halfway through phase 3. There have been no major side effects or problems reported about the whole formula. About 40000 volunteers are involved in the research about half of them have received the injection. And again, no major ill health reported we are hearing from producers that the vaccine has a 92 percent. If it can see, they are about 30 countries around the world that have already ordered the russian vaccine. One of them as role be illegal in hospital here. Or just a Medical Clinic has ordered one and a half 1000000 doses. Well, in russia, there have been almost 10000000 coronavirus cases since the spring. Moscow has the highest number of victims, the republic of but in eastern europe. Russia has become the 1st to impose another low down closing restaurants. Shopping centers on places of mass gathering for 2 weeks. We spoke with some of the countrys top, their religious on the development of a vaccine. And when we could get a hold on the pandemic, it still works, and there are now 100 vaccines in the world yourself. The institute was the 1st which to clear it had developed one, but this is very important. The vaccine was still unfinished. It was in the 3rd phase of testing, yet the president said that we have the vaccine. How come its not the political that we need . It is politics, not science. I can just comment about the scientific part. We had the opportunity for Quicker Development that we could, you take the virus out of a cell culture and clean it. And when you inject the person with it, the virus wont multiply. And you say that the long term immunity is formed. How long and how strong the immunity is still the subject of study . It is still a question. Yes, it is still in question. But antibodies develop the cell immunity develops, and we can be sure that a person after vaccination will be safe for some time. At least for half a year or the bigger its in the middle. When will such a large scale global epidemic . And give me the because all through what im saying february, when 70 percent of the population will have gotten this infection. But this virus will never disappear. From our population, it is another virus which we need to live with. We are dealing with a virus that adapts to humans due to its evolutionary orientation. So as to how long will it take it to adjust by orientation. I mean, the fact that it always in fact, the upper respiratory tract but doesnt necessarily infect the lungs and other organs. Do we know that for sure . You know, you can consider it a hypothesis over time, it will more affect the upper respiratory tract and go less inside of your body. Thats why the virus will lose its lethality, it will spread and in fact, well, but stop killing, how many years will it take . Before it stops killing people over 65, the overweight people with diabetes, and people with cardiovascular diseases, about 2 or 3 years. Well, its a duck to us in 2 or 3 years. I dont agree here. I do think that it will change over time. There will be more people with immunity plus vaccinations. They will work too. Of course the incidence will decrease, but i dont think the severe morbidity will and the issue is not with the virus, but with the human body itself. You need to understand the croon. A virus does not kill you. It finishes you. The outgoing u. S. Secretary of state got a lukewarm welcome with it kicked off a 7 nation tour. The french president met my pump, a lofty laden calls for more strange relations, and the e. U. As a whole is finding it tough to move all the from the tensions with the chant administration. R. T. So it depends for years over the trunk road ministration have framed relations with e. U. That pushed such as the french president to advance the ideal of European Court order. Me. But even the prospect of joe biden, heading into the white house, is having little effect on Emanuel Michaels idea of european independence. The United States will only respect us as allies if we are serious with ourselves. And if we are sovereign with our own defense, we need to continue to build our autonomy for ourselves. Not cool, i was reacting to an op ed written by the German Defense minister in it. She stated europe remain dependent on us. Both americans, europe need to fully accept the realities of continued u. S. , Nuclear Deterrence on the european continent, illusions of european strategical told me, must come to an end. Europeans will not be able to replace. Americas crucial rule is a security provider not call addressed this point. Specifically, i profoundly disagree with the opinion piece by the German Defense minister in politico. I think it is a historical misinterpretation of what this illustrates is just how i will not on the same page in new members all when it comes to the future of transatlantic relations. Even more so, it seems that for once in germany are in totally different camps. When german chancellor Angela Merkel welcome boy didnt victory. She talked about how, you know, from the United States of america, in germany as part of the european union, must stand together to meet the great challenges of our time side by side. Knew our front spoke about a change in that relationship. Europe has changed in the last 4 years and has shaken us in terms of trade and has built a common defense mechanism. So this is and you ear and you need to remodel the transom plan, take relationship with a biden administration. But lets not forget all the internal and who are in the e. U. Misses. One major point, what does the us wont all given the us is own internal divisions. What could it, even if this is not going to be plain sailing, but it will resume classic strategy of the us to germany days a world and europe will be many more lives. Europe was and is not to you for your purse. We have had many illusions all these appraisals, sprays many feelings about old, bad and against rome. But i feel really its not a good new. And with each new having just slapped for teller, tree taxes on us products in learning, running trade, just feet there are choppy waters still ahead to navigate. Joe biden is offering e. U. Leaders, his cooperation, saying he wants to reinvigorate bilateral and france. Atlantic ties to nato and the e. U. Yet its clear out all the goodwill in the world wont change the fact that there remains of last ocean between them shall it be will ski, auti paris. After the break, we look at the unexpected results coming in from analysis of the u. S. President ial election tally. Stay with us for the so what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have. Its crazy. Let it be an arms race is often very Dramatic Development only mostly im going to resist. I dont see how that strategy will be successful. Very critical. Time to sit down and talk the world is driven by shaped by those things. We dare to ask. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics or business. Im sure business, ill see you there. Welcome back. Its been 2 weeks since the u. S. President ial election on the outcome is still being disputed. But while donald trump and joe biden wrangle over, who will get the keys to the white house, many are looking at their campaigning for clues of what went wrong, and whether the focus on identity politics was misplaced. Trump lost support from white man, a group he won decisively in 2016. However, he gained 4 percent with the africanamerican and hispanic communities. Im glad to know those hopes were in florida. In his favor, Asian American shifted even more to the republicans with a 7 percent rise. My colleague, south dakota, ted taylor discussed the results with experts. But then the politics really died in 26 teams in the eyes of average americans. Of course, not in the media, not even the far left is not the Democrat Party because there are, they remain so out of touch with real americans, that average america with normal people, really, people are only as much as the left in the me, you know, the Democrat Party double down on this narrative that donald trump is a racist, is this narrative that republicans, you know, hate minorities or whatever. 5 a lot of people werent listening. 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 respond to what we could expect in response our vote, they also began to put out some mercial that were disrespectful. Its one thing to say donald trump is racist, but show me that youre not racist as well. And i dont think the Democratic Party did in a separate, it caused a lot of people to, you know, turn their back on the party. Well i think the elections showed that many minorities got tired of this by. So for rhetoric, theres an attitude to believe that latinos, for some reason, they are a one topic community, which is basically based on immigration. And i think latinos got very upset about this because in the end, no matter where youre black, latino, or asian. I think weve got to move forward into the future in it when we see each other beyond the color of anybody of skin and were able to look at each other for what we stand for. What we believe in and not because we have a brown wide or black skin, which we think is ridiculous. Its important that we realize black people are not monolithic, and we actually do appreciate policy just because the president has your color, your confession does not mean that your policies will benefit. You are always be in line with your views. Well, identity politics when or counted at elections in the future, i think its only going to lose. I think its going to continue to lose and that terrify a lot of people, that terrorize a lot of very powerful people because they built their identities on it. So to speak, they, it, the whole, the whole identity politics. Mission is something that people built a lot of careers on all the talk about equity, which is of course, stealing one group, giving to another, propping one group up over another sort of leveling the playing field. Why . Target certain groups now which groups deserve that is always going to be shifting and i dont you well to is their greatest weapon to do that at the moment i think i did. The politics actually still stars a very powerful wrong key in the electorate. Reparations was due to people who were descendants of slaves. And so if thats the case and in africanamericans began to swell around the issue, democratic fight. Oh gosh, were in trouble today need to back up the topic. We saw it in the election result that the voter, the american border is really interested in. What are you going to do for me . My going to live another day, how am i going to put foot of the table . We have a lot of people that have like serious issues and we need to just focus on the things that people are concerned about. The economy putting food on the table, sender kids to school, and being able to have a decent life and reaching the american dream. Trump, Administration Officials played quote, shell games against their own president to hide the real number of u. S. Troops in syria, as according to washingtons special envoy to the middle eastern country. James, jeffrey, who is now retiring, says that many more state than donald trump thought the u. S. Military ramped up operations in syria and 2014 with the publicly known current number of troops standing at around 600. The pentagon insists they are fighting the remnants of terror groups in the region. The trunk wanted a withdrawal from syria apart from a few 100 soldiers to guard the countrys all wells. But according to the u. S. Envoy, the army did not pull out. 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 stir fools lightly. Well, im sure the white house wasnt really in the dark. You know, most of us who watched 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 are 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 my, my hunch is the president was aware of what was going on. And it just wasnt worth his fight to clear out syria or to function if the university has suspended security staff after they were filmed painting a black student to the wall. But you know, you can walk and record the song who did this morning and what university of mind to say, im really getting tense. Not more. No, you dont close your eyes. No, you see, i think its a very simple point that ive done says he was racially profiled by the guards who demanded to see his id after claiming he quote, nopes like a drug dealer. The 1st year linguistics, students say he was left traumatized and the university is quoting best, a serious incident. We are deeply concerned by these images. We have spoken to the student concerned, launched a full investigation, have suspended the Security Officers without prejudice pending the results of this investigation. The incident comes just days after students slammed a heavy handed response of police, riot vans were scrambled over anti lock down protests on campus. One student told as the college no longer feels like a safe place to study, i just think its absolutely disgusting. And i think its an incredibly recent college, you know what were protesting that actually fundamentally, universities, really, their priority isnt making campuses a safe environment for students back currently havent been any kind of grass or science fiction. And weve been threatened with the potential indicated regulations that we have a specific issue fights and then of all the masses of protesters thats been happening on the ground. We have seen an increase of police on campus including the all the right place around the news from around the globe. Now this is for teacher of what experts are describing as a highly intense a rupture in one of the worlds most active volcanoes, strongbow only in italy. The blast sent flying hundreds of feet into the air and selling images of a flamboyance of pink flamingos making a pit stop unlike caracol in kazakstan. But birds are migrating to nature reserves in the south for the winter. Staying with animals on water and happy ending for us. Very friend, a dog which fell into when i see paul and his being rescued. Approaching western russia was chasing birds when it slipped into the water. Fortunately, Emergency Services were on hand to save the day. One thank you for joining us here on r. T. International. Were back at the top of the hour with all the latest headlines. Well see them join me every thursday on the all excited. Im sure. Ill be speaking to get us out of the world of politics or business. Im sure both of those. Ill see you there seems wrong. But old rules just dont hold any you get to shape out just because the educated and engaged with equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart, just to look for Common Ground it was always on the bulletin but such a big city, bright lights, huge opportunities and many dangers. Because the rest of the blatantly to do its also a city where up to 300000. 00 crimes are committed every year for the last one, but it will bring your mosque. Its filled to the reserve least one police officer. Think every 200 residents in russias capital lost on the english. I think you missed us. We all put them out of my tree that i will not go up boysen, you know, which doesnt mean what im to most if we do aerial reconnaissance. We do have perhaps my dinner time to discuss it. At this point, i think youre on your mind, right . Even if there are no if you around the home couldnt it be you can come up because some people who have to put up there to make things out the company could point to the t. V. This is important because he cannot seem to get some support someone to give up a whole day and night. It will be better. Im in season palms out simple and you have none. So i go along a little bit to get let me just point
