Compounding the humanitarian disaster is the sheer ruggedness of the mountainous country and refugees were todd home to the border. Russian peacekeepers secured the only route linking the region to armenia. He takes the trip, untested safety just going 10 pm here in the russian capital where if you are in the wild, International Well 1st up this hour, blood lost and competition can that may have provoked a strange and special forces to muds, a 39. 00 afghan civilians, an inquiry has found, bought on some killings, appear to have been part of an initiation ritual for new troops. There is credible information. The junior soldiers were required by their patrol commanders to shoot a prisoner in order to achieve the soldiers 1st kill in a practice that was known as bloody. So essentially, the general idea behind this report is that some rogue soldiers, some rogue members of most elite, the strain is unit s. A. s, that they have been fusing excellence, military excellence, with eagle, with pride, and well with indiscriminate killing. Heres how a top defense official of australia described the atmosphere of the dominated in this unit. The report finds that some Specialist Service ridgemont commanders in australia fostered within the s. A. s. What Justice Burton terms, a self centered warrior culture . A misplaced focus on prestige status and power turning away from or from the regiments heritage of military excellence fused with the quiet humility of service. So to put it in simpler terms, a soldier was given a boost in status in the world, you know, within the unit. For instance, the 11. 00 ritual that is described in this, in this document in this report, is that some new recruits were made were made to shoot prisoners compliant prisoners which were no longer combat tends to make their 1st kill. It was called blooding. And theyre also, theres also some evidence uncovered by the investigators that weapons were planted later on the bodies of these prisoners to make them look as if they were fighting back and so on and so forth. And also the report suggests that these kills that they werent made in the heat of battle. So you know how some decisions, like if theres a, if theres a heated shootout going on, and then if its you or me, if its kill or be killed, then world soldier could be absolved of some of the over some of its actions that later, you know, looking back and hindsight, dont look as good as, as good of a decisions as they seemed in the heat of the moment. That was not the case when it comes to the incidence that this report has been looking into. In fact, one of the investigators that was who is familiar with the matter. She said that the killing was made into a sport. You say it was happening again and again, what was happening . What sort of actions are we talking about . It was killing as a sport. Also the report interesting me enough, it absolves it seems to absolve the commander suggesting that the higher up officers officers high in the hierarchy, they did know that was taking place some difficult and disturbing information to learn to everyone who condone history is in room. And in afghanistan, especially given that they went in, that they intervened in this, in this conflict that intervened in of danny affairs to the tune of these words. Terrorism is based on evil, intolerance and bigotry and new free societies, such as australia, the United States can never buckle under to bigotry and intolerance. So that the report suggests punishment against 19 members of s. A. s. So this is the number, so well have to see what legal steps and what legal action will be taken in the wake of this probe. International Affairs Professor fair mcclellan says many foreign soldiers have so to disregard for afghan lives. The word afghanistan was always brained, and a 2 pronged way while on the one hand accountability for the attacks of 911 arguments that afghanistan had been used as a breeding ground for terrorists. And on the other hand, an attack against the taliban. A humanitarian intervention to save the Afghan People from a brutal regime. The reality is that none of the behavior that we have witnessed in these reports shows any serious care for the Afghan People. At no time do we get the sense that theres any concern for the future of the nation. And for the complexities of rebuilding a country thats been ripped apart by war since 979. 00. And in fact, in the, the afghanistan papers that were released are only just about a year ago. We found out that the u. S. Government wasnt even really taking seriously counting civilian casualties. They didnt count the bodies of dead afghans because the afghan lives did not count in the war. And so i think we see, you know, a consistent pattern here where theres no accountability and no concern at all for the people to republican election. Officials in the u. S. State of michigan mark laming they were tricked into satisfying the results in wayne county, they signed affidavits resending that decision to approve the folk out not softer. They initially blocked the certification process, citing discrepancies. I knew sleeve voted not to certify the election, and i still believe this vote should not be certified. And the state board of canvassers should canvass for an additional period. Joining us now as all teams, caleb maupin from new york know the development missive. Patrik did legal process. These 2 republican to Election Officials are claiming they were abundant and threatened. Can you talk us through what happened . William hartmann and Monica Palmer were 2 republican poll canvassers who observe the counting of votes, and when it was time to certify the Election Results in wayne county, michigan, they alternately voted against it. Their reason was that the poll book, which is the official list of all registered voters, didnt match the ballots that were received. So the state of michigan had already been called for joe biden. He would had been ahead at that point 150000 votes, but because of these irregularities, they were not agreeing to certify the Voting Results in wayne county in michigan, thats the county where detroit is located. So immediately after they did not certify the vote, there was kind of a 3 hour deadlock and then there was a zoom call where activists and poll workers spoke to the board on a zoom conference and raised the issue of racism, accusing them of racism, saying that this fit in with the long history of Voter Suppression efforts to deprive africanamericans of their right to vote. This is what they endured on the xoom call. We are going to come. You guys are not right, and im sorry for your descendants will be so ashamed of you. I am ashamed of you. Im not going to read it to you. Shame on you. Youre a racist ignorance was showing your racism is very apparent. And i dont know how you sleep at night because this is on the record, monica, your daughter is going to look at you in disgust, because shes going to know, and this is going to affect her because people will ask her why is sure whether race is so after about 2 hours of public a humiliation, the republican officials reached a compromise with their democratic counterparts. Now, according to them, they agreed to vote to certify these results. Despite their concerns in exchange for the democrats conducting an audit afterwards to see what was going on with these irregularities. Now the democrats decided not to conduct an audit. They say essentially that, that their, their agreement was not held and they regret certifying the votes. We now have palmer and hartmann saying that they were misled. They have now signed affidavits saying that they rescinded their decision to certify the votes. In wayne county, michigan, vice chairman, gave me sure and says that voting for the certification of the november election would result in a full, independent audits of detroits unbalanced precincts. I relied on that assurance and voted to certify the election based on that assurance. Later that evening, i was sent statements that secretary joseline benson made saying that she did not view our Audit Resolution to be binding. As a result of this fact, i reset my prior vote to certify wayne county elections. Now the Legal Mechanism by which the votes of wayne county michigan could still be overturned, is rather unclear. Now the county is considered by the state of michigan to be certified and the decision to certify the entire state of michigan will be carried out on monday by a Different Committee that would be the board of state canvassers. That committee is split evenly along party lines of republicans and democrats, and its not clear whether or not these affidavits from the 2 republican poll canvassers in wayne county, michigan will have any effect on that upcoming vote. Now at this point, the state of michigan, the lawsuit that was filed by the trumpet, ministration in the state of michigan has been dropped. They are no longer in a legal battle with the state of michigan. But michigan is not the only place where there were concerns about irregularities, allegations of fraud and concerns raised by the camp across the country. They claim there is a pattern of voter fraud that favored joe biden and secured his victory in the election. Now according to a recent poll, 40 percent of americans believe that the recent of the last election on november 3rd was tainted by fraud. And at this point, people are looking at the situation in michigan. People are looking it at allegations made around other states and there is widespread concern. Now donald trump still maintains that he is going to judgment winner of the election. However, there seems to be a pretty big consensus in u. S. Media that joe biden is the winner. The election took place on november 3rd, but yet still there is controversy in the United States surrounding that election. There are legal challenges that remain. There are allegations of fraud being raised by Rudy Giuliani and members of trumps team. So at this point, the controversy surrounding the u. S. President ial election has not ended sucking a lot of fun thoughts and he doubts still maybe a bit of scandal. Well have to see caleb maupin reporting from mike pump. A. O. Has reiterated the u. S. You that the occupied Golan Heights a part of israel, the u. S. State visit to the area today. You queue cant stand here and stare out at whats across the border. And tonight i the central thing, the president for a bracket nies, the previous president s had refused to do. This is a part of israel, the central part of israel should. Israel captured the Golan Heights from syria during the 1967 war, and later alex, the territory. Last year the Top Administration recognized it as part of israel, making the u. S. The only country to do so. That move along with the recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital was all part of the peace plan for the region nicknamed the deal of the century. On during a press briefing, Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu out so will was for the u. S. Into thanks to president the u. S. Working those jews who was israels capital, and moved its embassy here. Thanks to president trump, the United States, recognizing israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Thanks to president troop, the us pulled out of the Dangerous Nuclear deal with the wrong place, crippling sanctions on the union regime and eliminated the mega 2 customs who many of the simple fact of recognizing the reality of jerusalem as the rightful proper true capital of israel crazy that the United States had done this for decades. When we moved our embassy there, a simple right had just a record speaks for itself. During the trip administration, america stands with israel like never before my pump. I also infuriated palestinians by paying a visit to jewish settlements in the disputed west bank protest. Quick poynton violent as wyatt told rocks at Israeli Soldiers time. We have protested against us. Secretary of state imposed a visit to an illegal settlement coldly which is unprecedented. That makes trump an accomplice and war crimes against the palestinians will continue to come from the socalled deal of the century, which will not go away with the disappearance of trump. And the south would look, i know we have suffered from all american administrations because it is biased towards the israeli occupation. But this administration is a partner with the israeli occupation. We will try to change things when President Biden takes office. It is a long struggle. We will do all we can still pull the interests of our people. We will defend our land to the end. That is, believe that this visit by the secretary of state to the settlement, spots of on go in aggression, is because president drum is against opposed to people, spoke with care of Foreign Affairs on less about my pay as visit to israel. And generally how the trumpet ministrations, policies have reshaped the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Some talk about diplomacy and peace. What does it mean for an entire nation of people, Palestinian People who have been dislocated now for a century plus. This is horrible for so many millions of palestinians families and would pump a 0 is doing is giving the green light in the next few weeks for. d the hard writing israel to continue to trample over talus any and so terminations and 16, she need to gobble up historical Palestinian Land in gaza in the west bank. And now these incursions into syrians have to go on heights. I mean, israel functions as a massive u. S. War base in the middle east, seemingly doing whatever they want without any consequences. Its a political move. You know, i think the campaign for 2024 is already starting because what theyre doing here 1st of all trump shows that hes not giving up the fight. Nace, you know, have to concede the election or realize that on january 20th, hes going to leave the presidency. But hes not giving up the fight and he keeps working for israel in the middle east, even in this lame duck period where hes not where hes on his way out. And what he does is he sets the stage. So once President Biden comes in in january, he either has to reverse these things, or he keeps up. Now its a win win for the trump and the republicans because if he keeps them, thats what they want for israel, thats what its and you know wants. Thats what im most israelis want. If he reverses them, then it looks bad for the democrats. Well, still ahead tell me and refugees who fled the care about conflict on now find me heading back home, not off to russia. Bright, patrice will talk truth squad that will talk about it is youll be a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer, isolation or community . Are you going the right way . Or are you being led . By . What is true . What is right in the world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the death or a made in the shallowness greater, transferred to say, exacerbating alarming everyone mindlessly. Actually what that means is we end up making solutions that cost along, but actually do very little. Its just a kind of fuel instead of the solutions that were tricks good. Welcome back. Now police have detained at least 20 protesters in the armenian capital, in an ongoing wave of unrest over a Peace Agreement with azerbaijan. Demonstrators formed a human chain blocking several roads in the center of europe on one corner and Prime Minister, who called me on to reside. Police moved in to break up the line. Tawfiq is now moving again. Now this follows a week of protests across on nino over the nagornokarabakh truce signed last tuesday. Deal was brokered by russia to add 7 weeks of deadly fighting in the disputed region. Many armenians see the treaty as a capitulation that allows azerbaijan to hold on to its minute 2 games, including the city of shashi. Armenia will also have to handover 3 other districts to baku. Meanwhile, refugees are returning to care about russian peacekeepers a securing the key highway, connecting the area with all media have tested the roof for himself and brings us this report. One of the things compounding the humanitarian disaster here is the shia ruggedness of these mountainous country for the 10s of thousands of people who fled the fighting for them to return home. They need a safe road, but because of the fighting various segments of the routes to get about under the control of different sides. What the Russian Peacekeeping mission has been able to do is to make the achaeans key, corridor safe for all these refugees to return. So we went for a very literal test drive to see if its true. Fresh and peacekeepers really had convinced is it by john to let mean refugees written it turned out to be a very cautious drive. The other problem, of course, is the weather. These late in the year in november, december, it gets increasingly cold, increasingly wet and visibility is down to what . 20 reasons. At this point, the roads are treacherous. If youre a refugee though it isnt the fault youre afraid of. Neither is it the bad roads, the end exploded munitions or the bodies of the dead. Its still leaving that scale you just over a week ago. This was a fiercely contested front blood. It still is a frontline in the room no longer contest that the next 19 kilometers off to the sun. Held by is headed by a judge through russian mediation. The sides have agreed to let all traffic through unmolested on meenie and its headed by john the military vehicles, civilians, or refugees at 1st few willing to trust the other side. We heard that there were azerbaijanis about ambushes here. I didnt know if it was true or not, but now i know everything is fine here. Am i afraid . Of course im not afraid is what is there to fear when youre driving under a russian flag. The situation is that both sides who were at war just over a week ago have to share the same stretch of road. And its up to russian peacekeepers who patrol the road and who is stationed at various points to prevent the 2 sides from taking revenge on civilians or harassing them. It took a lot of work, but russian peacekeepers were successful. New weapons are allowed, not even for as they did by johnny. I mean the troops, everyone searched every vehicle, inspected every weapon, confiscated. Here we filmed a small headed by johnny, military convoy, posse, mediately off to cause carrying armenian refugees, which by itself was unimaginable. 2 weeks ago. Its not that i havent been home in 15 days. Were going back now. Thank you. Everything is going fine. Thank you. But everything changes, if you would have believed russian peacekeepers and i did it by johnny outposts would be situated metres apart. Or that by johnny troops would be baba, queuing food, and setting the table as armenian refugees. Return to cattle by the city will we have had no difficulty with the neighboring outpost. We have very good relations if they need something, we help them. And if we need something, they help us. Everyones playing by the rules. The ceasefire stands and thousands of people are returning to their homes, their previous lives. Why gags the of her from the garden account. I bought her when i flew previous some of the pay from the wild one pathan has reportedly been shot dad and several others injured during government clashes in haiti.

Protest is how one of the president to step down the option on occasions on south america crowds, the city are demanding justice for dozens of People Killed in a long Running Police crackdown. They gathered outside the president ial palace in santiago and were met by riot police who grew up to common. The country has been gripped by unrest for more than a year now. And finally, over in europe, in poland, people are keeping up the pressure on the government over a new antiabortion or the new rules, privileges, abortions, except in cases of rape womans life may be endangered. The countrys constitutional tribunals gave the green light to the law last month. Finally, the u. N. Refugee agency is warning of a full scale humanitarian catastrophe. In ethiopia, more than 27000, people have fled to neighboring countries from civil war in the north. If here, because government is backing the teeth great Peoples Liberation front off to accuse, sing it over taxing a military base. Launched a military offensive calling the alleged assault, an act of treason. When most of us, how many is left, everything can flat. Will came with just our clothes on our backs. I was severely beaten and tortured, and we were detained for 3 days. We near death from hunger and thirst before they released us. Children adults and pregnant women and been shot and thrown into the streets and be to a sticks after they took control of they stole all homes. The humanitarian situation on the border between ethiopia and sudan is quickly evolving and its extremely urgent. In the matter of a week, the u. N. H. C. R. Has already recorded more than 30000 refugees who have crossed from ethiopia into sudan. We lost everything our belongings, our livestock, everything. I do not know anything about my children. What does the world not see us now . Where will we go . When we just die, we barely escaped with our lives away, whoever did not flee will die. It all started with a trickle of 1000 of them for 100 or 150 and the 2nd day on 10th of november over 6800, utopian effigies in just one day. We as unity are in other human italians are being distant. And these are told to used to rush supplies and help these desperate refugees. But the situation is really overwhelming. The humanitarian capacity, many of these refugees are coming with nothing. They just fled, saving their lives. They need all the immediate things you need 1st. We need to get the water food, and shelter, and stabilize their condition. The numbers are so huge that its really, really challenging to reach everyone. This is really more corner of sudan is trying to build shelters, trying to install health and hygiene installations because were also dealing with the as well. So these desperate refugees need everything, and the fear is if this fighting goes on, there could be thousands more on the run. Thats how things are looking for now. Thats why keeping me company who joined us about soon up next. They are not document china political who are busy keeping moscow because theres a Survival Guide book stacie just imo to start simply at least he should still get a good repatriations look at the rest. The 70 thanks. Bill of the separate record. A new gold rush is underway in ghana. Thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields, hoping to strike it rich. Give a good. As they were, children are torn between gold. My family was very poor. I thought i was doing my best to get back to school. Which side will have the strongest appeal . Big city, bright light, huge opportunities, and many dangers. Like any capital city, moscows standard of living, comfort and growth rate to attract people from all over the country and beyond. And they all come with different intentions. Its also a city where up to 300000. 00 crimes are committed every year. When those in the middle to the last, its also not you know, some of the worst of the its thought that there was at least one Police Officer for every 200 of the 12000000 residents in russias capital. Is that true . That the another with him and without these people in uniform, moscow just couldnt develop as fast as it does and it wouldnt be moscow as we know it
