Our 2 international. My names donald quarter, joining it for the program. Thanks for watching. Crowds have been gathering throughout saturday for a candlelit vigil in the armenian capital of your yvonne. People are remembering those who queue who were killed in the conflict with john in the disputed region of newborn a car, a bach saturdays events, did mark a change in mood during the week. Protests in the city against the ceasefire. Deal between the 2 warring nations, gave way to calm tensions between azerbaijan and armenia over the disputed region came to a head in late september with fighting raging for 7 weeks. Of karbala conflict itself stretches back more than 3 decades. And although all of the region is mainly populated by ethnic armenians, it is legally part of azerbaijan, archies more. Ive got reports from europe on. This is being a somber and a sad day in all of a media a day where thousands and thousands of people here in the capital of yerevan came out to, to pay their respects to those who died over the course of this 6 week conflict. We didnt hear any political slogans or jockeying for political influence. Today was a day when people came out to light candles to pay their respects for all those who had died. Bear in mind that i mean is only a nation of 3 or so 1000000 people, a 1000 dead ease, a huge tragedy and thousands dead ease. An enormous catastrophe used on monday. Like even, you know, we dont bug me. I think we do. And we see this with the to be meeting with the when i was a question, you dont push tonight, you know, the next hour, you dont know, shave really need to borrow the known bug or you give me example. It needs it emotions a booth mixed in volatile here in the capital, people upset over the shias scale of the casualties. The shia scale of how much territory was lost is being handed over to is it a budget but things in the go to make a buck in the breakaway republic. A somewhat calmer today, the Russian Peacekeeping force deployed there. Said it didnt register a single shots over the course of the entire day. The peacekeeping operation is in full swing. We sure huge convoys today, footage of huge convoys of military vehicles, of ahmed personnel, carriers of fuel trucks, supply trucks as well as support vehicles, communications equipment, being delivered through the rugged and mountainous terrain that is going to cut a buck to step on to get the capital, from where from where the peacekeeping operation is being run out of it as well as all the other monitoring stations across the periphery of the frontlines of the godly cut above the head of the peacekeeping, force himself. And so cautious optimism by saying that over the course of this day, they hadnt registered a single shot. So 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 his shots being fired, and the situation is gradually stabilizing. Since the onset of the conflict, there had been incredible diplomatic pressure on both sides to deescalate repeated ceasefire attempts by russia by the United States. And nothing seemed to hold until the 10th of november when president vladimir putin, himself mediated the latest ceasefire. One that has held one that was signed by both the president of us here by john and the Prime Minister of armenia. What everyone was happy about the terms of that cease fire. Many people are upset about the territories. That is it. But john sees the territories that are to be handed over to his head of a job. Many, many people here, especially in armenia. Protesters gathered near state offices, attempted to besieged. 3 government offices demanded the resignation of the Prime Minister, who himself said that there was no eternity of the military face total collapse and that there was catastrophe on the horizon. You know that the danger hasnt passed, they could still be flareups plus theres a huge crisis. Uncertainty with thousands upon thousands, tens of thousands of refugees whove been displaced from their homes, whose villages, who is who 10 towns and businesses have been destroyed. Many of them choose to when fleeing the crisis suit. When fleeing from from their homes choose to burn them, rather than see them end up in the hands of a set of by johnnys. Is it about john . The mood is somewhat different. People are happy. Theyre satisfied with the outcome of the war. Many people say that what has happened is historic justice some of the tensions of solution are lucky little optimism of the as i say the ceasefire is holding for now there is optimism that it will continue to take hold and that the conflict, the hot phase of the conflict is now over the nevertheless. d a lot of uncertainty this a lot of books still to do, we saw again optimistic. d signs yesterday, when the was an exchange of the remains of killed the soldiers dead soldiers between as you know, by john and with russia mediating nevertheless still plenty of difficulties ahead. We now turn to the u. S. Where the 2020 president ial election is still on a fish officially undecided. Counting and recounting continues in a number of states more than 10 days after the vote. And despite the democrats standing, their ground on joe bidens proclaimed victory, the trumpet, ministration. Is still gearing up for a 2nd term. We have what appears in some sense to be an immaculate deception. Were moving forward here at the white house news. Im sure that there will be a 2nd term Media Outlets were quick to call the election for biden. However, donald trump has yet to concede, claiming the election was fraudulent. His team have launched legal challenges in several states and demanded recounts one of which is already underway in georgia. All right. You know, tens of thousands of his supporters turned up in washington d. C. On saturday to protest the election result. President trump, who earlier in the day greeted the crowd with a drive through in his motorcade said the rally was heartwarming. Counter protesters tried to confront the rallies with police, keeping them apart. Rallies are also taking place in cities across the country, jointly labeled the 1000000, maggette march, and stop the steel state. Officials and independent observers are saying there is no indication of wrongdoing Election Officials even called the 2020 vote the most secure in u. S. History. But a recent poll suggests widespread public concern about mail in voting. We heard from a number of experts on 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, the, our founders knew how to set this up. Weve had other elections where there 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, she elections, officer 2 republican president s, 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 the United States to create this, this loss that are 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, a zimmer, 14 is a day when the 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 you are impacting the transfer of power. That is constitutionally mandated by january 1, from fraud, allegations are putting democracy on a dangerous path. Thats according to former president barack obama. However, the claims of wrongdoing are far from the 1st level that a u. S. Election has daniel hawkings reports. 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 by his campaign team. Remain just that allegations until proven otherwise in courts of law, but such control the season, nothing new. Ask former 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, and his jerry, 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 would move your head spin. I 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. Former u. S. President jimmy carter cochair, the federal election reform commission, which states that in 2005, that mail in voting is fraught with the risk of ford and 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 violent and more nuanced than the 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. It 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 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 would work 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 if 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. With many expecting to see joe biden in the oval office by january, arties, going underground has been looking at his Foreign Policy history. A former special adviser to barack obama has been speaking to the program. Do you think its a mistake to see trump is some kind of bolt from the blue. Someone who broke in a 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 the 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 from still ahead, fishermen in france are warning jobs will go ahead. Marine life will be damaged beyond repair if the plans for a new offshore wind farm get the go ahead. That story coming your way after the break there is that all these big guns are really taking a position against the u. S. Dollar. Theyve got that bedrock to give also, if the dollar is a great value, heavy into gold thinks the dollar is going to be very bad situation going forward. He has not yet jumped into the big point both, but i predict you will very soon. Youve got warren buffett. He doesnt like big point, but he is putting a lot of money work in japan to get out of the dollar. And youve got baltar jones is having to go into big point. So all of the titanic, you know, movers and shakers of the Global Financial world are tiptoeing away from the dollar. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have. Its crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race, spearing dramatic development. The only move really im going to resist, i dont see how that strategy will be successful, very critical. Time to sit down and talk. Welcome back to the program. Now after a big spike in crime, the us city of minneapolis has approved a cash injection for its police department. The force will get an extra half a 1000000. 00, the majority of which will be used to recruit more officers. However many are recalling an earlier pledge by the city council to defy the police in the wake of George Floyds killing his death at the hands of police sparked months of nationwide protests. Homicides in minneapolis have almost doubled since last year with 73 killings reported so far in 2020. Shootings have also reached a decade high with 500 people shot this year. And Violent Crime is also up with more than 4 and a half 1000 incidents reported making matters worse is a staff shortage with around 100. 00 officers leaving the 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 that bleeding, and im sorry being that if youre having the funds to, to launch a citywide joining force me team initiatives. We can try to try to stop the bleeding here in our city. Spokesperson for the u. S. National police association, Betsy Bradner Smith believes to funding the police just leaves the public at risk crime started to skyrocket, 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 code 19. Most people in the United States recover quickly 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. Now plans for a huge wind farm off the coast of france threatens marine life and the fishing industry thats according to local fishermen. However, the countrys president is pushing ahead as part of his green energy push. Charlotta been ski reports fishing is a way of life, pay off the coast of brittany every morning, fishermen head off to sea in the hope of catching their brown t. But theyre now not alone. A Renewable Energy company is also trying to get it hooks into this areas natural resources. The strong winds in tights here make the coast around the area which is near song creek perfect for an offshore wind farm. 62 turbines are planned with the site expected to be operational in the next 3 years, but fishermen are determined to sink the project. Our leaders have been clear if they dont get answers to their questions, they say there cannot be a wind farm. That is a certainty, like our committers resident. He says he would rather die standing and find this project than let it happen. The fisherman cannot lead this baby developed. The wind farm is important. Politically, french president not growing, has attempted to portray himself as being an environmental champion. Now he hopes that wind power could generate almost a 5th of frances electricity by 2028, partly from offshore turbines. Yet one Campaign Group says the construction of the wind farms is an environmental disaster. Congress has one long to put it when you install a wind farm in a protected zone. The environmental damage is close, so it will destroy the reach sea life and small scale fishing will disappear. The government has tried to offer compensation, but it cant compensate damage to the sea. There is no compensation for loss of sea life. We also have the biggest natural reserve in brittany because we are in the migration corridor for birds. And there is no compensation for the destruction of birds. The wind from project is said to be exacerbating of tensions too, just the other side of where it plans. Its the oil of jersey, where fishing is also an important economy. Its no exaggeration to say that jersey fishermen are not able to access large areas of their own waters because it is covered in french, french nets, french he says thats because french fishermen have been pushed off their own waters because of the wind farm. When those missiles, which are now turning up and increasing, if it too, it injures these waters to an extent our system and can no longer access huge areas of our own sea of air and waters. So that it is causing just on the set of the lives of ships, which is the fisherman its, its creating conflict between the fishermen, the trench fisherman and certainly creating sustainable food, has created sustainable levels of fishing. If it in that were the Company Responsible for the construction of the wind from says it continues to study the impact it has on the environment and for the french government. This project is one planning to front, moving toward 3 nubile and it g source says. But locals, hey, are determined to do everything they can to scupper that shell of ski. Brittany cycle own has torn through the philippines, the largest and most populated island of luzon. A major rescue operation is underway with thousands needing help. The cyclon is now heading towards vietnam, forcing many people to flee to safety.

You may know whether the margin for the winner is so large that it is impossible for the defeated candidate to catch up. So there may still be 10000 votes to count, but the margin is 80000 votes and it doesnt matter if all 10000 votes went for the defeated candidate, they cannot possibly catch up and thats where we are today. Joe bidens margin is so large in all of the states that are being contested, that even though some other states have not finished county, they still know who won. And joe biden won a majority of the Electoral College votes as well as in the bone, but im pleased to show you big city bright lights, huge opportunities and many dangers because of the risk of the glare of atlanta.
