Deal which they see as a defeat for their country we have a report from the center of the commotion. The me company here behind me. This is this kind of stuff is really place between protesters between some police but mostly sticking by the lebanese which are expressed sat around. If not older cars running. Also this hour team trump refusing to accept confident projections of joe biden winning the presidency and vowing to mount extensive legal action over allegations of the mass voter fraud. Trial but also lashes out at a u. S. Drug maker claiming it delayed good news about its covert vaccine until after the election that as russia tests its own job on volunteers from across the world some of whom tell us all take should stay out of the issue. Politics shouldnt prevent Human Development and shouldnt create obstacles to the health of people including those in the chili who dont have the opportunity to choose whether to vaccinate or not. Very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h q in moscow thanks for joining us for global news update. This hour. A Peace Agreement has been reached between armenia and azerbaijan to end the hostilities over the disputed no gorn at karbala region the deal was brokered by russia and armenia though its being seen as a humiliating defeat with furious protesters storming the government buildings. Thank. God that on rest and year of and broke out right after the armenian Prime Minister and mounts the peace deal saying he signed it with reluctance. 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 wont be a defeat unless you recognize yourself as a loser we will never recognize all cells as losers and this should usher in our era of National Unification and revival but when the statement starts come out on which. It is. Facebook. People start to gather here and the government building just behind me was broken into and purchased to smash the insides put out flags and within half an hour let out and actually i was there was thousands of people. It was safe they called full let me look at this big diff told me they were looking for bush in yemen that theyre trying to find him police kind of just tried to stop him the 1st one i just stepped aside and allowed the car just as he saw to the building when they kind of pulled apart the buildings my last look smushing office 2 scuffles breaking out for a few fights between protesters are robbers you want Different Things and something happening again behind me. This list this kind of stuff is alive a place between protesters between some place but mostly stepping back and allowing people to express that around i was because im moving the purchase of a pretty Good Building around that and i was just behind the camera was i i. Respect what theyre going that its not the right i mean having a new kind of filtered out was i mean i and. People people who keep you know where they call the screaming for me that i was going to have its like it was a 100 years and not now 23 i was like. Earlier my colleague neil harvey discussed the deal with our correspondent whos been reporting for us from the frontline for us when the fighting was at its fiercest. During our time there we witness so much bloodshed so much carnage tears in the eyes of mothers and fathers who lost their children who didnt know the fate of their children and there have been a number of attempts at you know ending this conflict and bringing bringing the sides to every revolution but this time it seems that this conflict is as close to its and as it has been brokered in russia and Vladimir Putin is the main guarantor of this deal. We presume that the agreements reached will create the necessary conditions for long term and for settlement of the crisis around the gordon carob one of fear. And in the interests of their minions and azerbaijani peoples. With every peace deal comes hope realistically though there have been previous peace deals they usually dont last what reason is there to believe that this one will fare better thats a very very valid question because during the peace deals that were brokered by both russia france and the United States the documents they were rather brief just a down to a few paragraphs of text rather vague saying they just the sides should stop shooting at each other and maybe Exchange Prisoners of war and bodies of 4 of the Fallen Soldiers this time theres much more substance and its much more in depth when it comes to this particular document so according to it this cease fire came in place at 1 am local time today on november 10th so again according to this document as a by john gets to keep those territories that it has already captured from the Armenian Forces and also on top of that armenia will have to turn over more provinces which technically has under control now they will have to turn them over to azerbaijan as well over the next few weeks also the Russian Peacekeeping force will be deployed to patrol the frontline and the corridor between armenia and the capital of nagornokarabakh step on a kurd also the sides will have to Exchange Prisoners of war there have been. Some reports somewhat corroborated by those there by johnny president ilham aliyev that turkey will also be patrolling the front lines but theres nothing said about it in the document itself so the document obviously was signed by both the leaders of armenia and azerbaijan heres how they reacted to it i saw. The decision has been taken as a result of analysis of the military situation and brains to lease incidents of people whove been moved from either with the military situation on. My part i would like to see that im very glad to do it weve seen a good deal to settle the years long conflict between our media and. The occupation. And while i cant stress enough how sensitive we cant even begin to imagine how sensitive the issue of nagornokarabakh for both armenians and thereby johnnies so its no surprise that crowds have gathered both in both capitals and but the mood is try kingly different of course because who people are celebrating its something theyve been waiting for more than for about 30 years and finally they think that theyve won this war this is what theyre celebrating the movie is very very different than your of on the capital of armenia people there to say they are heartbroken that would be a severe understatement they are devastated and theyre angry very very angry mostly at the government they believe that theyve thrown in the towel and the giving up on the going to karabakh and thats something they dont want to see theyve stormed the building of the parliament they also attacked a motorcade the motorcade of the speaker of the parliament they dragged him out of the car and that is being beaten up in a hospital in fact right now so they see it as a concession they see it as unacceptable but even fighters in nagornokarabakh they have released a call on the rioters in the capital also demanding the resignation of the incumbent government over and he called government. Those fighters in the going to karabakh they have called on the rioters to calm down and theyve said that the war was in the going to care about not in year of so if they wanted to help or if they want to help now they should have come to this disputed region and helped out on the front lines but with this cease fire it might be a little too late for that so again it is really difficult to overestimate how painful this is for the armenians especially if we recall all the statements made by the Foreign Ministers by the ministers of the by the ministers of defense and the spokespeople because during this whole conflict even as we were there they were trying to calm down people the information that they were giving to us to journalists they were saying look you should have faith in our army in our armed forces there is no there will be no other outcome in this war they were saying other than our victory so they were promising victory extensively they were saying that there will even as there by john was advancing they were saying that we will we will turn the tide we will be we will go on a counter offensive and thats what they were promising people so a lot of people believed them and now thats why they think that theyve been theyve been abandoned and betrayed we discussed the agreement with a panel of guests the key point that makes the. Definitive is the signature of armenias Prime Minister and his admission that is a very difficult decision to make this will have lasting power now. What the fallout will be not so much for the as their president the theyre a sight but for the armenian side put it equally at the internal level thats another matter you cannot get involved into a war and then not achieve anything because he brings up certainly nothing. Back from this conflict you know maybe some armenians will look at this and as the negative. Maybe some of the group is i mean may look at them as a negative as well in general i think the Prime Minister was very brave and courageous and taken the step and i think both sides need to look at this from a long term perspective i understand its difficult for me especially but i think its a positive step forward and its seen much more stable i think well see out of this 1st of the prior ceasefire and i understand how difficult it is but i think for the region its much better to hand the thoughts fill because otherwise i dont know if i could see into this in the long term in terms of the end of the matter i dont think this solves the overall question of the current and what its status will be if those short term cease fire holds and the previous ones have not and with the introduction of russian peacekeepers that helps to stabilize the situation yes that that possibly could work but there is still a lot of political records left over that would have to be negotiated for a long Term Solution to what is the status quo to harbach where art saw as the armenians color and also the other areas surrounding the border color that connect our media to go in a car park that i dont think you know the armenians are saying they dont consider part of other projects but theyve been holding sense here early 99 days. Biden may have been confidently projected to become the next u. S. President but that doesnt mean tim trump is giving up the white house without a fight republicans are launching legal challenges to get votes recounted with a Senior Justice Department official quitting after the attorney general authorize a probe into electoral fraud before the results have been certified. Bidens projected to win 290 Electoral College votes more than enough to get him over the line but trump has tried to cast doubt on that by making allegations of mass. Concerning mail and votes his supporters passionately echoing his claims have taken to the streets across the country arties killed and reports. While the u. S. Media says that joe biden is the clear winner and World Leaders are now whining up to congratulate biden as the president elect the trumpet ministrations says no they are filing multiple legal challenges we have so much evidence so much proof and its going to end perhaps that the highest court in the land is not over far from it we have to leave the gun problem to me and i think theres a lot of shenanigans going on here they are setting the stage to potentially steal the election the trumpet ministration says its got a pile of evidence and even witnesses to challenge the current Election Results in the Supreme Court so lets just quickly summarize their allegations of electoral malfeasance. They say that thousands of ballots were cast by people who had died we believe that there are dead voters that have been counted. They also say that there was a glitch in Computer Software that caused thousands of ballots to be incorrectly given to the democrats they counted clear came forward said tabulating Software Glitch and caused a miscalculation of the bones. The Trump Campaign has gone as far as saying that when it looked like biden was losing thousands of manufactured ballots were added to the count to make sure that biden was the winner it manufacture votes for joe biden they have done it in every way imaginable now some of these allegations are quite difficult to prove but some of the others might be a little easier to substantiate. Another issue has been the access of observers republicans say that their official poll watchers were denied the ability to act. Curiously monitor the vote counting process republican poll watchers were denied their legal right to monitor the election democrats say that these allegations are insane and frivolous they say biden won time to accept that and just move on however some say its still too soon to tell after all this would not be the 1st time that the u. S. Supreme court has ultimately had the final say on who becomes president back in 2000 al gore took the Election Results to court trying to stave off the results that gave george w. Bush the presidency al gores supporters said that bush had cheated bushs camp on the other hand branded the democrat as a sore loser similar situation after a 5 week legal blitz the u. S. Supreme court declared george w. Bush to be the winner but later recounts actually showed that al gore had won the vote in florida but that was too little too late george w. Bush was president for the next 8 years america is a country of great possibilities and it appears this applies even to Election Results republicans have made very clear that with all of their resources they are not going to leave the presidency without a battle even if that battle is only a legal one caleb mop and r. T. New york amid all the wrangling over the election theres a growing move to rethink the whole system the National Popular vote is very straightforward concepts one person should always equal one vote and the president ial candidate who gets the most votes should win the election. The National Popular vote compact is in agreement which would completely eliminate the Electoral College instead electors would back the candidate who won nationwide as opposed to statewide its now been signed by 15 states and washington d. C. To be enacted the agreement needs to be backed by enough states that collectively represent at least 270 Electoral College votes thats the same threshold as needed for winning the presidency our president has 196 votes we talk to a panel of experts about what they think is wrong with this is stopped. We know republicans always win texas just like democrats always win california and 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 real 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 deflating the ball of our 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 a system 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 and they cant because 1st of all we have this because these before theres even discussion of the compact we have this this richard 2 party system that is based on who gets a call so that contact again is a 1st step in the right direction but its still not enough much of the media has been celebrating bidens when but they may yet come to regret that result as the outgoing president takes their ratings with him up trying to explains. Tears on air over the end of Donald Trumps presidency its been a long time coming. My mom and my grandmother this morning they didnt have. That idea just look at this t. V. Colleague of mine emotions as strong as after the end of the war or winning an olympic gold medal character matters it matters tell me the truth matters. In a good person matters. And this is a golden tie probably put on by another journalist when he realized trump was defeated he said for 4 years hed only been wearing black ones i can probably show you hours of air time recordings proving how frenzied the liberal media are this time around but just let me ask them the past 4 years of what you called d one big white house reality show where theyve really trauma and black tie grief for your careers voters turned out in record numbers to turn the page replacing a reality t. V. Star raised in wealth he saw the presidency as the worlds greatest reality t. V. Show he was the executive producer the chief promoter and the star of the trump show if it wasnt for this reality show would ratings for cable news look so good throughout mr trumps 1st term an entire new standards dream team can be put together our of reporters who if you think of it probably all the president a big one for a true career boost the star and a means of trump on the campaign trail you called yourself a nationalist some people saw that as emboldening
