Tensions flare in the u. S. Says the election. Fallout continues. Thousands descend on washington d. C. And a show of support for donald trump, whos still refusing to concede defeat. And trial data suggests russias corona virus vaccine is highly effective with hungry joining the queue to buy the shot. Bringing you all of this weeks top stories, this is the weekly on r t international. My name is donald quarter. Welcome to the program. After 2 months of bloody fighting calm has returned to the disputed mcgauran, a car back region, armenia, and azerbaijan. This week signed a historic peace deal brokered by russia. As part of a truce. Moscow has sent peacekeepers to the frontline state. The police had to shift what is happening in karabakh is a truly great tragedy. I want to note with great satisfaction, the outlines of compromise and the agreements reached on ending the bloodshed. And i hope that all the steps we have taken recently will lead to the establishment of a long term peace for the benefit of both. As a boy, john and amelia, one of the new peace deal, both sides will hold on to their current military positions that leaves armenia in control of the regions capital step on occurred while azerbaijan game gets the 2nd largest city of sushi, which it took just before hostilities ended armenia will also have to hand over 3 further districts to azerbaijan. In while russian peacekeepers have been deployed to the election record or the only major road link between the region and armenia, the russian contingent includes nearly 2000 personnel and almost 400. 00 vehicles and hardware. The mission will last 5 years with an Automatic Extension for quired. And both your of on and bach, who meanwhile, have presented the truth in the truce in 2 very different ways to their people. The text of the statement is unspeakably painful for me personally and for people i have made this decision is the result of an indepth analysis of the military situation. This is not victory, but there will be a defeat. Alyse recognizes, self is a loser. We will never recognize also says losers. And this should usher in a roof National Unification and revival for my part, i would like to see that im very grand jury. Weve sealed the deal to settle a years long conflict between armenia and azerbaijan. Compute the occupation and news of the truce led to widespread anger in armenia. As many people see it as a capitulation i i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, you call it pushing young, betrayed us, his traitor. Hes a peak. How he could do this to us. These decision is a step in the back for all armenians. I believe i am going to get made a speech via facebook and on television. He made a federalist last because the last few days havent appeared in public. Yeah. I did mention today that he feared for his life when you signed the deal, you know the kind of way of the situation, just the man being arrested today. Right now behind me this thing taken over to the right place with the protesters. Im media following behind this very small amount of us. I mean on the streets. Its hard to say whether this is the general feeling of the majority of the population or whether a very vocal minority you know, currently leading the protest. But what will come be said is all meanings are and where we are and short of following mondays do. The way theyre expressing it is slightly different, perhaps with also by john about to take control of large parts of the region. Armenia, as armenians, there are fleeing their homes. Some have even burnt down their properties, so theyre not left to the enemy as they see it. But on the up side of the conflict, people in baku have greeted the ceasefire as a National Victory of those rooms of sleep. 6 the red cross Spokes Person in a going to car bach and the former canadian ambassador to armenia both gave their take on the situation over the disputed region. The impact of this coalition for like the think you can across the region devastating and their life down on that piece, talking to people who had to leave their homes. Now you search for safety in 0 or 0 point one. Were not cover both, mainly moving toward me and you know, these people are in need or who cant make it clear systems and who are maybe being on a few fans whove penderecki to support for a face. People might think its a shame. Theres nothing wrong with patriotic commotion, but when they are directed with such hostility toward the other side from both sides, it takes great creativity to counsel people to, to learn again, to live together. Its going to depend on the extent to which russian leaders change the complete cooperation of the leaders of the 2 countries in 2000 and very well trained, Russian Troops will be very effective. But what will be most effective will be self discipline. On the part of the 2 sides, and i think that can only be obtained through communication from us to cross the globe. Thousands of donald Trump Supporters descended on washington d. C. Over the weekend in a shell of support for the president who is still refusing to concede defeat in the election. But tensions flared on saturday when counter protesters also took to the streets. You know, like 40 say one person was stabbed and 20 people arrested. Police say theyve had to respond to multiple reports of fights between extreme left and right wing groups near the white house. Even from supporters have also been spurred by the president s claims of electoral fraud. And are demanding recounts. Much of the media has been celebrating joe bidens win, but the end of trumps headline making time in the white house could see t. V. Ratings. Departing with him explains tears on air over the and of Donald Trumps presidency. Its been a long time coming. My mom and my grandmother this morning didnt have it right. Were going to do. 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 to him is truth matters because the 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. 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 standard, his 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 white nationalist, not such a racist question among in america. Its people like this that cause division. One of the statements that you made in the ceiling of the campaign, do we go . , honestly, i think you should let me run the country. You run c. N. N. , and if you did it well, your ratings. I mean, im not going to give you. You are fake news. Turning the loading of President Trump in all shapes and forms into a perfect top story came to the rescue of cable news. Amid the rise of all the media, what will be left for them to go on about once the maggot man is out . Whos on healthy burgers and cans of coke . Are they going to count . Will there be someone else as important to be caught for cheating in golf for splashing the cash on moscow prostitutes . That it will have to be Something Else than the russia collusion. Story to land them, call it surprise us cry or not cry, stay tuned for the new era. Gone is russian collusion . Nobody talks about russian collusion anymore or chinese or any kind of no collusion. Vote was 100 percent legit. Him . When Hillary Clinton lost, there was russian collusion, but not this time, Mainstream Media need this more than you can imagine, Mainstream Media are sitting in fact, to be on the side. Silent. The president is going to be a citizen, trump, it appears that he will be able to inject his opinion into anything in still maintain, maybe even more of a powerful position because of the unfettered, edited expurgated on plug. And hell be able to see and hear and want. So if they think theyre going to forget donald trump, if they think hes going to be just something from the past, he cant be because their very existence, their employment, their revenue, their, their reason for being there exists a point, donald trump, he gave them life. He gave them careers, he gave them something, he created the Democratic Party because they became the anti trump. And without trump, theres nothing counting and recounting is still ongoing, nearly 2 weeks after election day and questions surrounding the role of the Electoral College have been high to have heightened concerns about the voting system. Lets briefly go through it. The Electoral College aims to prevent either congress or the public from having complete influence over the vote within the system of each of americas 50 states, choose electors. Their number differs from state to state with the population being a primary factor to when the candidate needs a majority of electors. But critics of the system stressed its unfair, as it doesnt equate one vote to one person. We put the potential flaws of predebate. 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 mode more like our sport. We believe the other side is deflating the 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 before theres even discussion of the contract, we have 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. Thats a lot in america and peru where the interim president manual merino has resigned this sunday. Just 6 days after taking office. The announcement comes in response to protests that have turned deadly since the appointment of the new government. 2 people died in the peruvian capitol on saturday after a rally in support of the former president martin discard descended into violence. He was ousted just last week over corruption claims and his supporters call it a coup. And government protests have also been staged for a 14th consecutive weekend in the belorussian capital. Dozens were reportedly detained on sunday, and people also gathered in memory of a 4 fellow opposition supporter who died this week in the hospital. Authorities deny claims that the death was linked to injuries caused by the police and the mass rally started back in august. I made accusations the president ial election was rigged and protests to win. The british city of liverpool, this time over coded lock downs, 25 arrests were made over violations of a ban on mass gatherings. Hundreds turned up for the rally on saturday. The former Prime Minister of moldova, who holds a narrow lead in sundays president ial election over current incumbent eager adult. And according to the electoral commission, the pro european candidate is ahead with almost 56 percent of the vote compared to the president s 46 to last out the doggone in the last president ial race back in 2015. Shes made the nations ailing finances. A key part of her campaign and has pledged to seek Financial Support from the european union. The makers of russias covert vaccine revealed this week. The latest trial data suggests it is 92 percent effective. The drug known as sputnik v. Is currently in advanced stage 3 trials. Mass production is expected soon with nationwide vaccinations to follow. Several countries including india and brazil, have even placed orders and hungary has become the 1st european nation to join that list. Budapest will run its own trials of the drug in just a few weeks time, hungary and foreign minister who spoke to us while recovering from having caught covert told my colleague, neil harvey cooperation is key to overcoming the pandemic. Its any Time International cooperation based on Mutual Respect is now, and i think the Political Correctness judging each other during game time should be left behind. And instead of just a look at that game, go out, there are countries on a political basis, we should think about how to cooperate. So sometimes i have the feeling that the issue of the vaccines is becoming politicized, which i think should be again, we are crossing fingers for all companies and countries which are hoofing for developing the vaccine regardless who they are. So we are interested in india, american in the euro, and the russian in the chinese indies for the Vaccine Development and research to be successful. You know, shooting with everybody including russia, of course. Yeah. If this is correct of reports that under going to be buying some russian vaccines in december, but like you said, you are looking at all the options. Is there any concern though. d about how that will be met to response from other countries, because as we say, these things are often politicized lucca, these should be avoided. So now its a moment de light, for the people always anytime political aspects should be left behind. And this is the way, as the world waits for a viable covert vaccine finding a shot isnt the only challenge. Another is how to make it accessible. While rich countries can afford stockpiling drugs. Poor ones often lack the storage equipment needed. Charlotta pinsky reports within hours of pharmaceutical giant pfizer and by own tech announcing there could be 1000. 00 vaccine was 90 percent effective, that you swooped in and signed on the dotted line. And europe wasnt alone. Massive, deals have also been struck with the u. S. The u. K. , egypt, pan, canada, and new zealand, leading some n. G. O. S to question whether this is just a vaccine for rich nations. Its worrying that pfizer bio and tech has already struck deals with rich countries for more than a 1000000000 doses of its vaccine, leaving less than a quarter of its projected supply for the rest of the world. Big pharma profits must not be prioritized over the health of billions. Now, the European Commission has been clear and Member States can decide what to do with their vaccine doses. And that includes the option of to meeting them to lower and middle income countries. The u. Is unlikely to help a lot because it is in deep trouble itself in many poor countries are not going to be able to be all the supply expensive coaching infrastructure and storage on time to deliver the missing. This vaccine needs to be stored at minus 70 degrees celsius, requiring a special freezer of the type that isnt widely available even in europe and america. Meaning countries will have to build deep freeze storage and Transportation Networks from scratch to keep the vaccine from becoming useless is for the action is costly, its component is unstable. It also requires called chain transportation and has a short shelf life. The requirement for extremely cold temperatures is likely to cause spoilage a lot of vaccine the price tag in building these and the difficulties in administrating the required 2 shots within a month, may be too much of a burden for my nations, leaving them essentially frozen out. Some n. G. O. S of cool, dont foist on tech to clarify how the vaccine will be made accessible outside high income countries. And they want the firms to make their Vaccine Technology available via a w h o scheme. So billions of doses can be produced as quickly. And this cheaply as possible. Now thats unlikely because when the scheme was launched, pfizer made its feelings clear, i think is nonsense. And at this point of time, its also dangerous. Theres a giant effort right now happening to find solutions. The risks were taking represent billions of dollars and the chances of developing something is still not very good. And adding insult to injury the day. The vaccine was announced, the c. E. O. Of fine, so many 5600000. 00 worth of company stock. Now pfizer says that this was a scheduled transaction once the stock hit a certain value, but for many this was a cold shower. Of a reminder, the big pharma is also big money. So a vaccine for coated 19 may be closer, which of course is good news. Well, for those who can at least afford it, i say centralize profit seeking the theory of home with market in some way. Because the last country to be called it really determines when the pandemic is going to the one who pay for it getting worse. I mean, we cant complain much, but the point is really, if it is eventually optimal for them to leave all these poor countries untreated because we could eventually travel back to the bric countries. At the same time. Profit incentive shouldnt be in the mind, the worlds greatest invention and treatment by a lot by products. Well also this week a new medical study found catching kovac can lead to Mental Health problems. The university of oxford found one in 5 coronavirus patients go on to develop Mental Health issues within 3 months of testing positive in alices was based on 69000000 u. S. Medical records. More than 62000 of them had. The majority of disorders linked to the disease are characterized by feelings of worry or fear, in some cases Strong Enough to make every day life seem unbearable. They include adjustment disorder, posttraumatic, stress disorder, panic, attacks, insomnia, and even dementia. We talked to a coauthor of the study the short answer is that we dont know yet, and we have to do more research to find out, you know, we can start to speculate about what might be the reasons. And i think there might be 2 main reasons. One is psychological, the other one is biological. The psychological one is quite intuitive. It is, you know, people suffer with the 19 which is quite scary enough itself and the fear of having a potentially life limiting in this might cause things like anxiety and depression. Theres also a possible biological explanation, which is that it is possible that sask of to say the very virus that causes covert 19 my get into the brain. We know that some viruses do. We dont know yet as far as i know where the sask of 2 does, but its possible that it does. And in that way it might be affecting the brain and damaging the brain if you will, within the biological explanation is also an inflammatory explanation. So we know that of 2 as a virus causes an information throughout the body that can be, can expand well beyond the lungs. And it may be that inflammatory response also involves the brain. And if thats the case, that in my view, that the inflammation to the immune response of the body mount against infection might be the cause of the psychotic illness. Given that theres going to be more people suffering with Mental Illness as a result of 19, we need to make sure that there is Services Provided for those people in therapy provided for the people. We know the things that he depression, for instance, for example, is our treatable diseases. Most people that receive treatment for anxiety, depression do get better and very important that those treatments are available to all that need them.

Ill be back in just about 30 minutes with more, and i hope to see them. I am going to lecture night, 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. 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. God. During these 10, were on all sides. Instead of talking about her this journey into you leave that up. I just sat here watching 5 minutes. Youre not going home tonight. I can guarantee they wont come back to wrongful conviction. What you say today were going to be doing a deep dive into an issue that is fascinating exhibits to our finding, which is the phenomenon of false confessions. And my guest today is going to be jane fisher. Are you also currently working on 4 cases involving false confessions and each is fascinating its own way. So jane, while some confession happened to me here, and jane is an attorney who is an expert on false confessions. And so jane, how did you get into this work . I was a public defender in manhattan here in new york city for about 3 years. And we saw a lot of police misconduct, you know, we were doing arraignments up until 1 am in the morning and you see people beat up or, you know, people whose cases get dismissed, who get no compensation. So my husband and i left the Legal Aid Society with the hopes of doing civil rights work. My name sold castle in the distinguished professor of psychology at John Jay College of criminal justice. Once a false confession is taken, the case is closed, nobody really can tell the difference between a good confession and one that is a problem with all of this. Is that the or tactics that can be used to get innocent people. And i dont just mean vulnerable, innocent people, i mean people who are sitting around in this room to confess to crimes. They didnt commit. Anytime you do an exoneration case where theres been a false confession, its like trying to write a trice. Everybodys already against you. The persons been convicted by a jury. The judge thinks hes guilty. The jury thinks hes guilty. Now you have to convince everybody that theyre wrong. So a case that youre deeply rest is a case of an alien who has been in prison for 20 years. Renee lynch was a case we took about 2 and a half now maybe 3 years ago now. And she was accused and convicted of killing her landlord in buffalo, new york in 1995. And its also obvious if confession cases the police are going crazy and they cant solve it 18 months go by. And renees connection to
