A very good morning to you, its 8 am here in moscow, youre watching r. T. International with me in the carriage. A week before the u. S. State of nevada certifies its election results. Republicans have filed a number of lawsuits to hold the process, citing irregularities and voter fraud. One claim alleges that native American Voters were swayed by gets through improper outreach programs by politically biased organized organizers or Mainstream Media have called nevada for joe biden by awaits us. In 33000 votes, there are around 60000 voting age, native americans in the state. Republicans claim they were lured to vote democrat through a gift scheme by a left aligned nonprofit group, but the group denies any political leaning as arties. Caleb moore purports in nevadas tribal areas. Voter participation was being encouraged by a nonprofit, some very nice prizes were handed out in order to encourage people to vote in the 2028 president ial election. There were even 500. 00 gift cards. Now the nevada native voting project said it had no agenda. It simply wanted to increase election participation and because it did not seem to be partisan, the Nevada Indian Commission, a state agency, had no problem getting involved on that of that indian commission. Facebook page 6 posts offering gift cards of the a raffle share. In addition to that, the Nevada Indian Commission offered its own prizes, raffling off 3 major pieces of art to those who voted. People may not be aware, but encouraging people to vote with rewards is illegal. Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate shall be fined under this title or imprisoned. But nobody got the memo. And in fact, a reno sparks, indian colony official was even filmed handing out the loot. We have 2525. 00 gift cards to round off and a lot of money cashiers. The excuse is that this is simply a nonpartisan effort not aimed at helping any candidate or party. Except there are indications to the contrary. Nevada is a swing state, and nevada has over 60000, registered native American Voters really make the difference in our states them make, change it out here, get them biden. Harris, campaign swag. As you can see, have mass, they have a t. Shirt sign. I stick beers out kind the set hand sanitizer. All right guys, you have it there. Handsome buy it and that hes for you to support it. And if they see to get out the vote, get to the polls and both parties. I think its best the Facebook Page of the native voter project even shared a post from an ngo called the native organizers alliance. And that made clear that there an aim was to flip the electoral map from red to blue. Not surprisingly, a lawsuit was filed by the Nevada Republican party. There was scheme set up to give voters something of value raffle tickets. T. Shirts, other things like that if they would come in and vote something that violates federal law, something that violates nevada law. Now the nevada native voter project says they didnt do anything wrong. They say that this was simply had nonpartisan effort to encourage voting. And furthermore, they point out that no member of their staff or any other volunteers ever attended any biden harris events. However, their statements did leave out those 500. 00 gift cards. U. S. Officials have actually condemned the government of venezuela for offering incentives to encourage voter participation. But in nevada, i guess its ok. Now keep in mind that native americans vote pretty consistently for the democratic party. It looks here like a state agency, was involved in a very targeted campaign to encourage vote participation from a constituency that leans a certain way. Nothing reeks of clan Transparent Elections than handing out valuable freebies and prizes to encourage certain people to vote in america. At least, you know, we, we dont think that there would be any corruption in our government. And so you would assume that this would be nonparty, nonstate, actor or organization that was just corrupted doing something wrong. So when we see things like in nevada, where you have the state authorities, you have a Government Authority participating in this scheme, participating in these things that you fear with our election. Thats whats been most troubling. I think for the american population, of course, and in other countries, people are used to governments that might be corrupted, state officials, that might be corrupt. And in america, were finally starting to see that that has happened. Thats the most troubling thing. Would devote a lot to my putins warned, against attempts to threaten the peace deal between armenia and azerbaijan on the disputed nickel. No account back region. The russian president added the only alternative to the truce is war. And this is the city of downs. Most cut the 1st friday pres, in 27 years to mark the return of his every trips trips that stipulated in the agreement on reports from the ground. In 1993, the city of baghdad was seized by armenian forces. The nuchal population was evicted, expelled the never since then. It has been a goose city. No one has lived there until now. A short bus ride later we had done what new journalist has that in years. Cross the front lines of the gordon, they got up. This is the 1st time since the war began, that weve been able to get into territory that is controlled by the as yet by johnny army. And these, this was only yesterday under the control of pro armenian forces. As a result of the ceasefire. On the 10th of november, that both sides signed the armenian side as their budget on the side, with the help of russian mediators. This area ag city and the down province region were handed over peacefully by the armenian side. 2. Is it about time for them . This is a very big occasion because this mosque in the center of adam city, has been a symbol of the war in the is it about johnny side 3 decades ago . 40000 people lived there by johnnies, who were expelled from the area, forced to leave, and have been refugees ever since. The question of what the forces were going to go to. I have just come back to my hometown. Thank god. For 27 years i lived in exile in those barbarians, destroyed our city. By one of these is a landmark movement by john righteous and ceremonial. The 1st prayers that ad down mosque in 27 years. Learning that only a little bit of the is it about john, the military wouldnt speak to us in camera while we got out of them. Is that justice had been done . Adam was there as it will go to the question is it doesnt, it doesnt care about people. Its when you come to that, if youll be able to publish a normal. So im going to have you do the kind of that book with his style to it. But its a disservice just not special but inefficient. Theres still an incredible amount of work that needs to be done. The devil is in the details. This is why russian peacekeepers and their buddy forces that arrived during the night took the area over a meeting for hours on end. They need to sort out lines of control and where each outpost will be. But they said about john. The checkpoints will be manned by zip about joining forces. Right next. The russian peacekeeper outposts back to back despite the number of peacekeepers and as yet about johnny troops and ag. Down there was little tension. Soldiers and peacekeepers talked and joked. Its felt by all sides. The war is over we have good relations with both the armenians and as a reason those okie playing the positions vacated by the armenian army. Of course the conflicting side. But the conflict is over. For my part, i would like to say that im very glad that today weve sealed the deal to settle a years long conflict between armenia and azerbaijan. I saw the decision has been taken as a result of analysis of the military situation and based on the sentiments of people who have been most for me there and with the merchant situation. At this point, the ceasefire deal has been a success. Refugees, flock back to their homes. Heavy weaponry is god groups, arup and, and everyone is meeting their obligations. Theres no love lost to be sure. But with every new day there is less and less cause for another war. Or i guess the of from the go to make out about the moscow brokered truce earlier this month, put an end to 7 weeks of deadly fighting in a contested mountainous region. Russian peacekeepers have now moved into all the positions assigned to them by the peace deal under the terms both armenia and azerbaijan will hold on to their recent gains. Meaning that large swathes of Nagorno Karabakh have fallen under as their control, including the city of shushi. Armenia also has to hand 3 other districts over to bark. The last of those areas has prompted many armenian residents to flee their homes. Theyre taking all of their movable belongings and some have down their own houses rather than letting azerbaijanis move there. We have lost everything in life. Some people are being forced to leave their homes. Its no good. People are not given any place to live in what were doing here. R. T. Is going underground, spoke to Award Winning journalist peter oborne, who visited the disputed region. You can hear his full interview, including comments on the conflicts in yemen and syria. In 2 hours time. This war is i think a, its a particularly brutal war. I mean it was. 2 a tweet, and it said really reengagement of this country, which brings in so many global power, russia, turkey, israel for the drones. And then the kind of the west stepping back and the plight of the armenians. I mean, when i was there, i went to the genocide memorial is you going to be very careful about talking about it, but is that the that is the only institute see themselves not really fighting the obey john, but those fighting that its, its very limited on the standing up or is actually going on, and its also important to say that i was only on the armenian side. So i got one side of the story and i, but i did talk to a lot of soldiers who had come back from the front. And the story was very consistent, that its a civilian army. And so in a way i hadnt really appreciated that. Its an extraordinary unites heat place. Find fastened by u. N. Tank had applied for emergency use, authorized a sinful back around a virus vaccine. If approved, it will become the 1st to get us clearance. Final trial data shows the vaccine is 95 percent effective in preventing infection. We have already produced more than 20000000. 00 doses. We now are close and to continue as we speak, producing more and more. This is why we said that by the end of the year, which is the matter how many 5 weeks, we expect that 50000000 doses, but we can distribute to the World Distribution on the vaccine is already raising concern. If you can go, companies can transport minus 70 degrees colder than the south pole as the job requires. And that is not the only just logistical challenge expected to make. If hes particularly complicated for poor remote areas, they special deep freeze suitcases need. It can only be used for 10 days. They also require dry ice, which is considered a Hazardous Material and ultra coat coat freezes are a rarity in hospitals and pharmacies. All this has experts deeply worried. Their reality is there has never been a drug that requires storage at this temperature. Its a logistical nightmare for rural communities, but no one is immune to the challenges, distributing the facts and poses for the medical industry, the whole infrastructure to do the distribution. I dont see that coming together in a rush. Its so could it could work out in a decent way. It doesnt appear that it is. Im worried about that scene. Theres not going to the right will. And i cant predict the numbers, but wow, it is a dysfunctional sort of people, right at the moment. We spoke to a senior clinical lecturer at britains university of Exeter Medical school. He says its important for different vaccines to be created across the wilds to provide choice. But its very important to maintain what you would call the cold chain extremely important. Otherwise, you are injecting people with substandard or the nature of vaccine, and it is a waste of Time Resources and everything else. So it is very, very important to make sure that the vaccines, when they leave the laboratory where it is made to where the patient is going to receive it, is maintained always at the right temperature. You either have facilities to transport them or you use other vaccines and there is no reason to suspect that the other work scenes are inferior. Once theyre licensed, theyre licensed and we know that they are good enough for the job. Therefore, its very good to know that there are also other vaccines made by other platforms also coming on stream in given time. A pandemic cells are sparking dramatic changes in the way we do our shopping. Thousands of British Stores are reportedly refusing to allow Cash Payments, fearing infection. Pash is no longer king with contactless payments, Bank Transfers and direct debits all eclipsing cold, hard sterling, but it seems coverts haste in the demise, with one in 3, worried about notes and coins spreading the virus. Were moving in a society benchley, Cashless Society. What is done is accelerate the process and there may be some evidence cause some issues, but i think generally migrating to cast this operation anyway. Other countries are streets ahead in sweden, cash in circulation represents only one percent of g. D. P. But while convenience is one thing, its a big problem if it becomes the only way to pay according to consumer groups, which there have been over 2500 reports of shops in the u. K. , declining Cash Payments during the coronavirus crisis. 4 in 10 customers say theyve had problems buying food or groceries and 20 percent claim theyve left empty handed. Its most, some intimate, most keenly felt by how many people, because they are they dont have the infrastructure, the sort of the residence or the accounts to support participation in a mostly digital economy. Cash really still has a role until and unless no one is executed from additional economy, you need those things, the mobile device a bank account, even an address to participate fully. So i think that this is when the really does need to be addressed. For large businesses, cash, this makes sense, easy. Bank transfers, no counting the takings more secure payments. And some believe many are using the pandemic as an excuse for the switch. And for some, its also about giving customers options to take any payment off regular customers because a lot and for todays purchase, im looking for them tomorrow to build up a business. Cash is always a safe play and the cards are regulated by limits. So when those limits are exposed, if we could fall flat, we still need cash. Weve already seen card fees being curtailed over the past few years and well probably see it more and more as more transactions go cashless and more pressure is put on regulators to do something about much as having to pay this much, which in turn will drive the revenue from, from card fees down from a bank perspective, which has its own set of impacts. Probably ultimately they could see reza paying for it 1. 00 way or another. The march to a Cashless Society might not matter to most or even be noticed for the moment. But if it means the fringes are increasingly left out in the cold, how does having a spare bit of change is no team thing. Staying in the, u. K. The London Metropolitan police has set down bushs targets for 40 percent of new recruits to be from ethnic minorities within 2 years. But the force is former detective chief. Its superintendent says that once solve the most important problem, rising crime. All the public wants when they call police, and this is true all over the world, whether its russia or frogs, or whereabouts. The police to turn up quickly when they call them for help. The place to solve the problem, be professional, and then let them know what happened about the incident of which theyre not bothered. Whether all they get a black, asian chinese or japanese Heritage Police officer turning up solves that problem. Nor they pull that, whether theyre male or female guy, all whatever. What they want is a professional representative of the state justice if you like to turn up and do the job properly. If youre a couple of Junior Level Police officers patrolling in your new York Police Car and you use a piece of black news, who you know are bad and you think you should go and speak to the maybe search. Youve got a decision there. Do you want to risk a confrontation . Do you want to risk a horrible fight . Perhaps . Do you want to risk complaints of the racist garlands, but i can shoot him possibly risk your job . Or do you want to carry on down the road to the gas station . Get a coffee and a, a cup of donuts with a choice for all Police Officers is clearly states go to the gas station, get a coffee, and they some donuts. If you emasculate the police continually threatening them with complaints, the police are not going to do their job. They are not going to keep ordinary people in sight, regardless of the color. Black white chinese heritage and so on. An e. U. Summit has failed to agree on either a budget or a crucial at the Coronavirus Recovery Fund as the talks expose the deepening rift between Member States on issues from migration to the rule of law. Peace, all of our reports, migration, the budget for the upcoming 7 years. Theyre the 2 main problems for the European Union. At the moment. There doesnt seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel and getting agreement on either of them. On the line, the e. U. Commission president said ahead of the summit on thursday that there needs to be an overhaul of the way that migration is dealt with in the us. Thats been pretty much evident, since at least the height of the migrant crisis back in 2015. The way it currently works is that in 1st nation, the 1st member state, somebody seeking asylum arrives in, thats the one that is obligated to look after them or see thats not particularly fair on countries like greece or italy on the line says the Current System is not fit for purpose and needs to be overhauled in favor of something. Farah, the Current System no longer works. Each member state without exception, must support Member States under pressure. The idea of more burden sharing isnt agreed on by poland and hungary, poland, hungary, also not on side when it comes to the conditions of the e. U. Budget for the next 7 years. Now poland has found itself accused by brussels, of having undermined the independence of the judiciary as well as having a row did some of the checks and balances of democracy while in hungary those fingers pointed at them, saying that in particular the, the Prime Minister of hungary viktor orban saying that hes launched a crackdown against free media and academics under some of the clauses that are written into the new budget. If you dont play by brussels rules, you dont get brussels as money and that is targeted directly at them, but they arent alone in not being happy with this move. But ive also known notion of Propaganda Club has emerged in the European Union deciding what the rule of law is and how its broken from communist times. We know well how such clubs leaved you . I reject such tools because the rule of law is now being applied in the us a scare tactic. It will persist if its true, meaning the rule of law should mean the right of states to reform themselves in accordance with treaties and the constitution apartment. But its no small change that poland and hungary are holding up, though were talking about 1. 8 trillion euros the budget for the next 7 years. Thats the cash that supposed to launch the covert 19 Recovery Plan to build back better. Also, the green initiatives on digital colony projects that were put forward. It doesnt look like its going to go through any time soon. The deadlock is well pretty much locked. As it stands, theres a lot of work going to have to be done. If new budget is going to be approved and if theres to be any breakthrough when it comes to the future of migration policy in the e. U. European history, professor powell, ive been a teeny told is the e. U. Increasingly resembles a super states trying to impose uniformity on its members, i think the European Union is very much bigger. Thats assault with superpower. War actually, what do they mean . Because its not the one party is not the center like the street. And they are, they should not impose their form is therefore of the all the principal source of the already we are facing a major, major confrontation between the western side, which is the most power to side with the European Union and include all the france germany and the rest of the European Union with iraq to be the European Union in the east. So all you for this saturday will see the final special performance in moscow of verdis requiem, to mark the 75th anniversary of the start of the nuremberg trials after world war 2. Artes daniel holkins got to see the hassles. Verdis requiem is one of the classical worlds favorite musical creations, an ethic piece filled with passionate emotions. It takes us on a journey through life and death, or tonights a special performance in moscows helical opera is especially significant views are taken back 75 years almost to the day. From november 19th, 38, and crystal locked in germany to the 20th of november, not in 45, and the start of the nuremberg trials when those responsible for some of the worst atrocities in history had to answer for their crimes. We caught a glimpse of the rehearsals backstage varies. Music alone is enough to give anyone goosebumps, but this production is more than just the regular choral performance, whining the dynamism of the composition with on stage effects that inform and reach out to view is far better than a history book, or trip to the museum. This is a unique project because usually the right is performed in latin, the warden solicitously. This genius music, not only someone to stand with it means this project has turned it from a musical to theatrical piece. You can see the music. It is a unique, theres all contemn, the food, the characters, every word in the tags brings meaning to the mind. Its important to perform to these dates. The idea took more than a year to come to fruition and was 1st performed in january to all of victims of the holocaust and the siege of leningrad made more moving by the fact the piece was performed many times by prisoners in the deaths in concentration camp but the idea of the performance isnt simply to appeal to emotion, but to reason that if we fail to learn from history, tragedy could be repeated as one. Despite all the horrors people went through 75 years ago, it seems we havent learnt our lessons. Today. We see attempts to go down the same road, which is frightening, but people need to know about this and remember that history isnt a kind teacher. But a strict oversea who can punish us harshly profile to learn these lessons. The performance doesnt disappoint verdis music, intertwines with historical footage and informative text to create an effective dramatic fusion. At times the tough realism is hard to take, but this is no fiction. This was a real life for many, still in living memory. Ime its precisely this that the project seeks to preserve your version and up with it if they do occasional impact is very important. We know that many young people lack knowledge. Lets not shy away from this fact. They dont remember this important events of the 1940. 8 of leningrad concentration camps. The nuremberg process is presented here with modern, relevant, and accessible snogged free. The director made the right decision because there were unbelievable emotions and boiling inside. When you compare the footage we saw with todays situation, you see its timeless. We need to convey this to future generations so that what happened then can never be repeated wishing for others. It is striking. I saw this for the 1st time and i still can get over it. Amazing. They should show things like this moral from. So people understand what threat we face if we forget those terrible times. We can only convey so much through what we filmed, though not easy to watch, the Live Performance itself will take you on a journey through history, with moments of both darkness and hope. One, you wont forget thanks for joining us here on r. T. International this morning. Were back in 30 minutes. With the latest headlines. The, uni, elected u. S. , president invariably vell to steer the country in a fresh, bold direction. This time, those things may be a bit different. That least on Foreign Policy has promised to reengage with allies and restore the us his position as leader of the democratic world in the Biden Administration before the global stage. Will we see you approach for a return to the old ways. Its been decades since the fall of spains fascist regime. But old wounds still havent healed me from a dog Feeder Market or on the bus at us as mean older than they seem to, you know, of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption. I dont know to this day mothers still search for grown children while adults look in hope for their birth parents. Grass. Im just so screwed up for me as them all down to hear what makes money
