Economist put the idea. Millions to the office saying go remote during the pandemic. Good evening. Youre watching r. T. International. Now we start in the armenian capital. If you had a van, because crowds have gathered for a candlelight vigil and are marching in memory of those who lost their lives in the conflict, theres a busy on in the disputed region of nagornokarabakh. This saturday does mark a change in mood because over the last few days, crowds have gathered to protest against the ceasefire deal between the 2 warring nations. We can get more and more correspondent, hes in yemen for us more again as they have good evening. A somber moment then just talk through whats happening in yet of the moment. Well, its been a very somber and sad affair so far the, when a chance of a political slogans. Thousands and thousands of people came out to the center of the armenian capital to the pay respects to all the people to all the predominantly young men whove lost their lives during the course of this 6 week conflict. As i said, new political slogans. We heard the occasional pained cry from a mourning mother or relatives, it must be, must be remembered the syrian nation of 3, you assume 1000000. A 1000 dead is already a tragedy. Thousands and thousands of young men 8920 predominantly easy ease, a catastrophe. And that has been the sense of come out to respect to, to all the defendants that died, as they believe fighting for their country for historic, a minion land. But, but things on the front line in the garden. A cut above itself have been somewhat calm today that the Russian Peacekeeping mission has said that they didnt register a single short over the course of the entire day. Weve seen footage of enormous convoys of peacekeepers, russian people, peacekeepers, military vehicles, armored personnel carriers, fuel trucks, supply quitman, all making their way through the rugged and mountainous terrain. That is now gordon, a cut above all in preparation of this peacekeeping operation, russian led peacekeeping operation based out of step on the cat with the observation post across the front lines to make sure that there are new violations and to register and report includes coordination with both sides, i mean end as yet about john. Any potential violations that western europe. But the agreement was signed by the heads of 3 states and its being implemented in full. Most importantly, kinds of operations have ceased income tanks, arms around the territory. We no longer he, the shots being fired and the situation is gradually stabilizing. There have been repeated attempts by the International Community by russia, by the United States, to establish a ceasefire over the course of the 6 week conflict repeated attempts. But ultimately, all of them failed until the 10th of november, when like me, a putin himself signed a deal that was signed also by the president of us here by john and the Prime Minister of armenia. Regarding the ceasefire that is so far held the ceasefire. Also entails russian peacekeepers, an operation being unfurled around the garden to cut about various areas previously held by pro Armenian Forces being handed over to as yet about john. And i must say here in year of our not everyone is happy about it. Many people angry, theyre upset that this is a betrayal. Surrender of armenian land, too. Is it about johnnies . But the Prime Minister, the government insists that this was the only way forward that the military faced collapse and that they averted, potentially catastrophe. This is not victory, but there will be a defeat unless you recognize itself as a loser. We will never recognize also. So the losers. And this should usher in o. E. Roof National Unification and revival. There is, nevertheless, a lot of the uncertainty still here in the meaning got a bomb because of the refugees, the thousands and thousands of people that have been displaced that have been forced out of their homes that have been forced out of their villages and towns. Many people have new prospects of going back there, afraid of going back to villages and towns that are now under the control of who they see as the enemy. As it about john. Many people of elected to burn their homes to burn the shops, some place of business rather than see them. And up in the hands of a nearby johnny said, russia has said that the seas, a serious of serious concern, that all these people have have, you know, very little in terms of returning to their former lives nevertheless. And as it about john, this is being viewed very differently. They have happy about the outcome of this will that theyve written so many lines that they believe there is just almost no evidence of solution was old news. Our luck. Good luck. 6 as i say, there are, there is good reason to be cautiously optimistic about this cease fire that it will hold today. As i said, not a single shot registered by the Russian Peacekeeping operation. Weve also had an exchange yesterday, an exchange of remains by both us headed by john and i mean, you know, with russia mediating. Nevertheless, there are still many pressing concerns about the humanitarian situation, about the thousands of refugees that have been left who listened with little in the way of who put of for the future. Still a fragile situation, isnt it . Thank god, it was not his money gas, the event reporting for yet over. Ok, well lets turn to the United States now where the 2020 president ial election is still far from over counting and recounting continues in a number of states nearly 2 weeks after the vote in the trump ministration does remain adamant that the president will secure a 2nd term my own view or cleaning out their selection. Now we, we have what appears in some sense to be an immaculate deception. Were moving forward here at the white house, knew something that there will be a 2nd charm for Media Outlets have called the election for joe biden. However, donald trump has yet to concede the election was fraudulent. His team have launched legal challenges in several states and demanded to recant. Someone is already on the way in georgia work. I implored her daughter going on. I will state officials and independent observers have all said theres no indication of wrongdoing in the election so far and in a letter to the trumpet, ministration, u. S. Election officials called the 2020 vote the most secure in american history. But a recent poll does suggest to widespread public concern about mail in voting and the potential for wrong doing our Panel Discuss the issue. Some Bureaucratic Agency saying they think it was the most secure election ever. Thats fine, but we, the people have a right and a campaign has to get to the bottom of this. And if we get to the bottom of the process, the rule of law, the constitution this, that our founders knew how to set this up. Weve had other elections where there are either was allegations of fraud or enough questions of fraud that they changed the election. So lets get to the bottom of it. Lets see what happens. Georgia has a republican governor, a republican cheap elections officer, 2 republican, great senators, republican lieutenant governor. Its all republicans involved in this vote count. So youre telling me that republicans coronated it was fired against the president of United States to create this, this loss. That obviously is attributed now to going to truck in some state dept president obama is lecturing the American People on concession when Hillary Clinton and the democrats in Congress Never conceded the present. Trump, they never stop digging into him. But look out, all im saying is dont accept the results until we get to the bottom of it. Then we should. The question is whether democrats would accept the results. If we get to the point where we find big fraud. Bottom line is it doesnt matter whos counting, it doesnt matter what litigation you have by law, by statute you cannot do is beyond december 8th, zimmer, 14 is a day will be Electoral College has to be and so those are 2 days im looking for. If anyone tries to violate those dates, now youre in a constitutional crisis, and now youre impacting the transfer of power. That is constitutionally mandated by january where republicans supporting from fraud on occasions of putting democracy on a dangerous path. And he says, according to the former u. S. President , barack obama, however, the zone, the allegations all from doing during an American Election is done, hawkins expects. Theres a common theme in the media when it comes to the possibility of irregularities in the u. S. President ial election. Its a ludicrous claim that there chris, every vote counts, but when someone gets enough votes to win, the loser concedes that is what happens in this country. Described as unfounded ludicrous and baseless allegations made by President Trump and his Campaign Team remain just that allegations until proven otherwise in courts of law. But such control the season, nothing new. All School President , barack obama. I come from chicago. So i want to be honest. Its not as if its just republicans who monkeyed around with elections in the past. Sometimes democrats have to his, gerry, not another democrats on the current chairman of the house judiciary committee. In my experience in new york paper ballots are extremely susceptible to freud. Your paper with no machines, i can show you, i can show you experience, which with your head spin, wasnt alone the 2004 election saw concerns raised about multiple aspects of the voting process. On key swing state, ohio saw democrat candidate john kerry question whether the outcome represented the will of the voters. And the d. N. C. Chairman agreed. Im not confident that the election in ohio was fairly decided. We know that there was substantial Voter Suppression and the machines were not reliable. It should not be a surprise that the republicans are willing to do things that are unethical to manipulate elections. Thats what we suspect has happened. And wed like to safeguard our elections so that democracy can still be counted on to work for us president jimmy carter cochair, the federal election reform commission, which states that in 2005, that mail in voting is fraught with the risk of forward coercion. Hes since backtracked on that plane, but remains scathing about elections in the United States. The american political system wouldnt measure up to any sort of International Standards for several reasons. Lack of Central Election Commission capable of issuing uniform rules, lack of equal access to the media for all viable candidates. And the inability to conduct recounts the election process in america has of course come a long way. In the 19th century voting was controlled by gangs who would broadly bore, coerce voters. It looked Something Like this. Im all for it, my boy to form an alliance with you against bill cutting and is slated later this candidates go hsieh to hand some people every vote you sent them a nice way in the coming elections. Things became less violence and more nuance than a 20th century. Lyndon johnson ended up winning a primary. He was losing in texas by just 87 votes. All thanks to the last minute appearing of a ballot box full of votes for johnson. This pave the way to his rise in politics and later presidency. There was scandal at the time, but a mission took years to emerge. James, and did not win that election. It was students for him. And i know exactly how it was done. The 2000 bush gore election controversy has been cited by some as a comparison to 2020. Results in the deciding state will close with the Supremes Court giving bush the nod. But the result could have been a very different thousands of voters in florida were labeled felons, preventing them from voting. Bushs brother also happens to be the states governor. No Major Law Firm in florida worked for al gore, even democratic, even democratic oriented law firms. Because everyone was afraid of the bush family and the governor and losing important state business in this election cycle could perhaps be summed up best by joe biden. Himself, we have put together. I think the most extensive and Inclusive Voter Fraud Organization in the history of american politics. Of course, this was just an ironic slip of the tongue biden was really talking about the democrats Voter Protection program. For many though, the issue with the president ial election 2020 may not be the result itself or even of trumps claims are all true or not. Against the backdrop of election controversies spanning decades, its the total dismissal and reluctance to even investigate the allegations that will continue to polarize voters for years to come down. Hawkins well, with many expecting to see joe biden in the white hat, we have been assessing his Foreign Policy that latest edition of artes going underground, spoke with a former special adviser to barack obama. Do you think exam mistake to see trump is some kind of bolt from the blue, as someone who broke enough fundamental way with american traditions because trumps isolationism, his unilateralism, his protectionism, his racism, all of those after abuse have very strong roots in american history. Going back to the founders, going back to the late 17 hundreds. And in some ways, i think trump has demonstrated himself to be a very acute politician because hes been able to tap in to that different narrative that different version of american, except exceptionalism america is the city on the hill that stands aloof from the world. Not a country that goes out to change the world. And so right now, i think, as biden prepares to take office, we do see the country going through a searching debate about the nature of its role moving forward. And my own view is its time for the country to find the middle ground between where it was in the pre pearl harbor era, which was doing too little and running away from the world where it has been more recently, which is drawing, trying to do too much particularly in the middle east to find that stable middle ground to step back, but not to step away. So to come this hour, fishermen in front of warning that jobs will go under a knife was damaged beyond repair. Plans. The people that when found in britain and get the go ahead to have a just off is you will be a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer. Place elation and fulfill the ability. Are you going the right way, or are you being led by what is true, what is in the world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the forum made in the shallows. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have. Its crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race in this on, off, and spearing Dramatic Development that only really im going to resist. I dont see how that strategy will be successful, very critical. Time to sit down and talk. Hello again. I offer a big spike in crime us city of minneapolis has approved a cash injection for its police department. The force will get an extra half a 1000000. 00 and this will be used to recruit more officers. However, it does follow an earlier pledge by the city council to dismantle the police force in the wake of the killing of a black man at the hands of local officers. The death of George Floyds months of nationwide protests. Homicides in minneapolis have doubled since last year. With nearly 75 killings reported in 20 22 teams have also reached a decade high with 500 people shot and share in Violent Crime is also up with over 4 and a half 1000 incidents reported making matters worse to the Staffing Shortage with around 100. 00 officers leaving the local police force, since the start of the year, our resources are hemorrhaging. Our city is bleeding at this moment. Im trying to do all i can to stop the bleeding. And i dont think that having the funds to, to launch a citywide joining force meant even issued if we can try to try to stop the bleeding here in our city or betsy smith, the spokesperson for the us National PoliceAssociation Says the funding Law Enforcement would leave citizens and protected crime started to skyrocket and Violent Crime is out of control in certain parts of the city of minneapolis. And so this, this notion of defunding, the Police Actually hurt not just the police, but its actually harming the citizens. What were also seeing is the more resources you take away from Police Officers, the Less Community policing there are and the more Police Officers get hurt. People are not dying quickly of covert 19 in the city of minneapolis. Yes, people are getting sick from cope with 19. Most people in the United States recover quickly for from code 19. You dont recover from being murdered in order to keep the citizen safe, theyre going to have to learn how to live with Police Officers. The Minneapolis Police department is one of the most Progressive Police departments in the United States by one of the biggest changes to our lives during the pandemic has been the move to working from home researches of germanys bigge
