He was a christian who the books you need to do is coming to you live from our world news headquarters in moscow. This is archie international, and im donald quarter joining you in the here in the studio. Welcome to the program. Now we start the news with our mania, where the countrys president has called early parliamentary elections inevitable saying the government should resign. Now its been comes as the country is gripped by mass protests, sparked by the truce deal with 1000 by john over nagornokarabakh. Earlier Prime Minister nicola pasha, yon took responsibility for signing what some have called a humiliating agreement. But said the armenian people should not judge him without all the details. Us what the expansion there is no doubt for me that i am the main official responsible for whats happened, that i am responsible in the context of what happened. But there are no discrepancies here. I am aware, as before, in this case, roughly speaking, i must be brought to justice by the people. But in order for the people to be judges, they must have the information about the circumstances we are accused of to meet really contradictory things. The fact that we signed the paper surrendering the territories and that we did not sign it soon enough to surrender the regions. So theres been a lot of talk of the last 7 days about what should happen to me from protests in opposition parties. Because the 1st clear statement from someone to the president , but what should our way to conduct a government of National Unity and working with we lost the war imposed on us both on the battlefield and in diplomatic and international platforms. You can lose a battle, but its unacceptable to lose as a nation. We have a Concern Society and a damaged economy that is burdened with massive social issues. It is obvious that in order to avoid internal political upheaval Holding Early parliamentary elections is inevitable. It was here just behind me 7 days ago in the public square, where for almost to the hour actually where the purchases 1st gathered and broke into the government building behind me. The anger was really harsh, initially on the project that continued a week. There was that there was more protests this evening. Start to do it for us. Where moved on to the prosecutor generals office. But its the 1st time weve had from, from someone within that, within the Armenian School system that you know, i think it could happen to remind you, last week, armenia and azerbaijan signed a peace deal ending 6 weeks of fighting over the nagornokarabakh enclave. Both sides will hold on to their current military positions, which gives armenia control of the disputed regions. Capital of step on a cart, azerbaijan gets the 2nd largest city of shushi, which it took just before the fighting ended. Armenia will also have to hand over 3 other districts in the region, and baku says it will quote, take care of the territories again via the conflict. In particular, the Christian Churches and monasteries located there who has also extended the deadline for armenia to pull out its troops and civilians from those districts. Thousands of residents are fleeing their homes there and even burning them down so as not to leave them to who they see as the enemy. We heard from people who had to make that painful decision. We had a good life. And now we have what we have. Now we are tearing down the houses, we built off so i dont know what will happen next. And i dont know what to say. What can i see . Its hard to speak about it. I know one thing for sure. I wouldnt even want my enemy to find himself in a situation like this. Ive lived here for 20 years, and now im a refugee. We are taking down our houses, so i dont know where we are going. I had little build in my house for 12 years. Now im taking it down. It is very hard, very hard, but we do not have any other choice. Meanwhile, russia sending peacekeepers to monitor the cease fire between armenia and azerbaijan after moscow brokered that deal to stop the bloodshed in a go in a car or a buck. These are some of the latest pictures of russian equipment. Hundreds of vehicles and personnel landing in armenia. The patrol is currently monitoring the cease fire and assisting with the exchange of Fallen Soldiers to mining and clearing the territory is also part of the peacekeeping mission and in total it should last 5 years with an Automatic Extension if required. The truce is already allowing some refugees to return home overnight. Almost 500 armenians came back from the capital of your, of on to the disputed regions. Largest city of step on a current russian peacekeepers also oversaw a convoy of 19 buses. Full of people is on the way to the peacekeeping mission in the region and sent us this report. Well, the peacekeeping force that is supposed to be stationed in the golden. It has almost been brought up to the full strength we witnessed this morning. Get another very large cold with russian peacekeepers making their way to that could make a buck with aside from the 2000 about 2000 peacekeepers, the russian side has also published a detailed map of what the area theyre going to cut off will look like the operations of the Russian Peacekeeping mission, theyll be observation, post monitoring stations in the Northern Area now in the Southern Area and 7 in the achaeans kiko to a thin strip of land connecting it to the pru. I mean, the golden gate of this, theres a lot of anger with the way the, the doubt, theres a lot of sadness with how many people have died. And the ultimately people are just thankful that it is concluded already hope. As with russians, they are our saviors need. The us know, europe helped us. The International Community was signed in throughout these times. In our Prime Minister sold this land. It was only the russians who came to save us. But our nation has lost everything. Nothing is left, i beg, lusher to help us to let the rest leave well in our lands. Its painful, of course, but we see Russian Troops are coming. Hopefully they will keep the peace. The Russian Peacekeeping mission. Instead, they kept is acting as a sort of mediation headquarters that is organize a communication between the 2 sides, if it directly between the media. And i said about john, they have already organized, for example, an exchange of the remains of soldiers whod been killed and whose bodies both sides were unable to collect. Things are being very differently on the, by johnny side, out of the there isnt quite the sadness that the reason the armenian side, they made tremendous gains areas that they believe are historically. Theres the recognized internationally, as i said by john in people who had been forced to evacuate 30 years ago. And now overjoyed that theyre heading back to homes, that the been unable to return to for 30 years is in peace. Im so grateful to our soldiers and our president , he will return there with great pleasure, as this is our lead and then use about the liberation and prospect of return has put behind all the hardship weve had for all this years. And want to help to me. Now, im so happy that our lands are liberated and grateful to all who made this country. Im so joyful to return to my land well waiting for a signal from the guy and to return, were already packing up our stuff over the course of the 6 week conflict that had been many attempts to establish a ceasefire international attempts by russia by the United States could also pressure from all over the world, did nothing seem to hold until the 10th of november when russian president Vladimir Putin help mediate this latest ceasefire, which was signed by the president of asean, about john, the Prime Minister of armenia and which is held there is however, an enormous amount of work to be done. There is an enormous amount of uncertainty about the, the 10s of thousands of refugees that have been displaced from their homes, from their villages over the course of this conflict. Uncertainty about their future where theyll return to if theyll return to their homes. A tool with this also huge amount of problems with the humanitarian situation in the gold. In the corrupt there is a lack of the basic medicine. There is lack of services. Heating in very cold temperatures, will boost of this is now the priorities have been livable, conditions of making sure, sure people have somewhere to return to for more insight. We cross live now to ralphie, when he, jr of the eurasian business coalition. Thanks for joining us on the program. Now the armenian president has urged the transfer of power to a government of National Unity. How effective do you think thats going to be as a measure . Do you think the protestors are going to accept that solution . Well, i think its certainly a good start. You want to bring a level of tension down and try and bring all parties together, especially moving forward, considering how difficult this was for the people of both armenia and azerbaijan. While armenia now has a largely ceremonial presidency, how appropriate do you think it was for the president to get involved . And on the other hand, why doesnt he just dismiss paasschen yawn if he thinks its time for the government to go, do you think . I think he is moving in that direction, but he doesnt want to show was cards right away. He wants to allow this peaceful transfer of power and then dismiss the Prime Minister, you know, with his support in the world of people, while the armenian Prime Minister has earlier taken responsibility for the peace deal. Will that be enough to satisfy his opponents . Do you think, i think initially, but certainly theyre probably going to want war down the line. I mean, it didnt seem to come out of this looking really good. Certainly that people are not very happy with the peace deal, but i dont think armenia had much of a choice. You know, the president recognized and understood that, but its certainly, its very tough for me. Its, i have to accept this. He still will stay on that topic. What kind of chances do you think he has to remain in power . What changes are we likely to see an armenian case . Paasschen young steps down . Do you think . I think youre going to see a new leader of emerge that is going to really engage with the people and promise. Now anomic peace, prosperity, and security, and ensure that armenia will grow from this experience. The key to success is economic peace and prosperity. But thats going to take a while, i think if armenia can actively engage as part of the so Road Initiative and the china has been promoting in central asia. I think thats going to go a long way from that, because certainly this is a very economically for them to have to give up on the horrible, even though there by john, has the more legitimate claim or do you, where do you see these protests stemming from do you think its just the peace deal thats fueling them or are there some sort of deeper social issues in the country causing them . Well, certainly the peace deals part of it, but certainly the economic underlying economic inequalities that exists, that have to be resolved, you know, between the people that have money and people that dont, its elevating the lower into the middle class in order to grow and enhance their economic peace and prosperity, if you dont have money to put food on the table and if you and then you feel like you dont have a stake in the governing power. Well, what do you think the armenian government could possibly do to resolve these class issues that youre talking about in a community at the Community Level institute, affirmative action policies. Infrastructure development is important. With both russia and the United States. To expand and grow their economy, providing tax breaks and different incentives to help underserved minorities while that was ralph jr of the eurasian business coalition. Mr. Wynn and thank you very much for your insight. We appreciate it. Thank you. Well, theres still no official winner in the u. S. President ial election, but the fallout from the vote has spurred new talking points, one of which is identity politics, backfiring for candidates as both joe biden and donald trump might be wondering what went wrong in the ballots. In the demographic breakdown, some unexpected twists came for donald trump, who lost support among white males, a group he won over decisively in 2016. However, he gained 4 Percentage Points with the africanamerican and hispanic communities. And it was actually the latino vote that helped him swing florida in his favor. Asian americans also shifted to the republicans in 2020 with a 7 percentage point increase. Earlier. My colleague saw taylor discuss those new voting trends with our expert panel. Then the politics really died in 2016 in the eyes of average americans, of course not in the media, not in the far left is not the Democrat Party because they are, they remain so out of touch with real americans of average america, with normal people, really, people are only so for them they could see more going on this identity, politics narrative. They continue to get even crazier and their ideas, their myths about oppression and racism to spiral. And they dont even deeper. But of course, what were seeing is that more and more minorities were voting for donald trump in 2016, even with l. G b. Ts that his support among l. G. B ts according to the New York Times doubled since 26. 00 team as much as the left in the me, you know, the Democratic Party dole down on this narrative that donald trump is a races. Is this narrative that republicans, you know, hate minorities or whatever. A lot of people were listening and they decided to vote with their wallets. They did buy it with their conscience and stop that democrats and he should as they say, lets take a look at by 10, because one of the moments that drew a bit of conciseness when he said to a block in tokyo, he said, if you havent decided they are going to vote for democrats that quote, you aint black. Now, some said this is a really divisive, almost patronize in type of identity politics. Do you agree with that . Whats your take after he told the person who was interviewing him, called charlemagne. The guy that if you like, if you dont know you, if you dont vote for biden, you imply. He also cut charlemagne off as charlemagne. Try to ask questions about, you know, what are you buying plans for the black community . What, you know, black Community Expect in return for their vote by him say, you know what, i got to go. I cant go on with this interview. And to me that came across as blatant disrespect. And i believe that a lot of people in the black Community Felt completely disrespected by the Democratic Party during this election. Not only did they not fountain, what we can expect in response are involved. They also began to put out the mercial that were disrespectful. Its really interesting that a lot of the policy is in response to the black community, not investing in the marketing of the campaign, campaigning in certain black communities that didnt happen, but also laughable that they can expect anything like reparations in return for their vote. You know, its one thing to say donald trump is racist, but show me that youre not racist as well. And i dont think the Democratic Party did. And they suffered because a lot of people to, you know, turn their back on the party. Well, i think the elections showed that many minorities got tired of this rhetoric and, and we saw from the Democratic Party, especially here in florida. They lost a few seats, especially because theres, theres an attitude to believe that latinos, especially for some reason, they are a one Topic Community which is basically based on immigration. I think latinos got very upset about this because in the end, no matter where youre a black, latino, asian, i dont want to be seen as a brown person. I dont think any black person wants to be seen as a black person in terms of the color of their skin. I think weve got to move forward into the future in it when we see each other, beyond the color of anybody you skin and were able to look at each other for what we stand for. What we believe in and not because we have a brown wide or black skin, which i think is ridiculous. And the democrats paid a high price for this. And if they continue doing this down the road, especially in the next 2 years, they will lose the house. And this is not a victory. I would say, i think that would happen in this election was simply that a lot of republicans, they agreed with donald trump, his policies, but they didnt agree with his demeanor. And i think that that had a huge impact in the election, especially among white men. In other news, International Interest is building in russias covert 1000 baxi. Israels pla, a Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been in talks with a lot of mir putin over the purchase of the sputnik the shot. Our correspondent paula sleeper reports short time ago, israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a telephone conversation with the russian president Vladimir Putin. About purchasing an option on the vaccine, he said that the 2 datas will speak in greater detail about it in the coming days. If you shock and awe. So i spoke on the phone with russian president Vladimir Putin, about the prospects of purchasing the sputnik vaccine. And of this, we will discuss this in the coming days. Sputnik things, Clinical Trials are currently half way through phases 3 and there have been no major problems reported in terms of the formula. What we do know is that about half of the 40000 volunteers who are involved in the research have already received the injection. Theres been no reports of major ill health and we have heard from the producers that night. It stands at a 92 percent. If it has seen about 30 countries have a waiting, ordered the vaccine thats according to the producers. One of the countries israel, one of the needing hospitals here, some Medical Clinic in jerusalem has ordered one and a half 1000000 doses. Now, earlier i caught up with the director general of the hospital who told us this russian books in the safe in the city and in the High Frequency rate. We do for one in boxing, over the ward is very dense in many countries, and russian is only one of the books that Russian Troops to come to the market move much dependent on them, you know, no ministry in order to prevent a grave, which is on the way we are following up on the development of just books in the copper months. Not only that, we should be devoted to the government living situation in we like the idea last month is also a spike in cases if theres not a significant increase in the number of people who taste covered positive. Is it possible that israel could stott the vaccinations before the trial concludes once, and it will be rick who lives in israel . Has it all to isaac . See, we already have wage in and puts in buying it from them. Ok for the people refused. d we decided to says right port to apply to our hes really mean issue to submit to ration in order to be just fixing to be bop over the books into tours. But he usually minister who gets exactly to say age to me out today. What we can do, hes to extend to face truth, tried and true equal to and to use he and hes a and b. Are looking forward. Maybe even to establish some line up for the action to do its in here who can cry when you see it going to be the tories in south america and asia. And they dont break, they are collecting more and more countries. So the invisibly b. To 50 percent of the war would be vaccinated. But do action book, she would like to be smallpox in germany could be on the verge of a 2nd National Lockdown as nations across europe are all out tougher anti covert restrictions. Heres arties peter. All over with more. Well the latest from berlin is the sound of a can being kicked further down the road when it comes to water restrictions and how those restrictions will be strengthened. Angela merkel, the german chancellor went into a meeting on monday with the heads of the 16 german states. Wanting to put in place stronger restrictions that would be ensuring didnt law. The heads of the local governments though they wanted to see advice and its advice. Thats where it stays, the vice is. Dont meet any more people than you really have to try and stay away from making the necessary contacts. Really, this was the result of a long meeting that went on the press conference was 3 and a half hours delayed from when it was 1st advertised, it would be, it seems that after all of that talking, theyve said theyre going to come back next wednesday. The 25th of november with a Long Term Plan for how were strictures are going to be in play. That the message coming from Angela Merkel us sat there alongside the mayor of lynn michael miller, the head of the state of the various markets. They all said the same thing really, that the restrictions that were in place were working, but they werent working and north and that they needed to see more measures put in place. The reason they need to see more measures put in place, or at least those 3 politicians want to see more measures put in place, is because the number of covert cases in europe is rising. And we actually heard on monday from the head of the world health organization. I think they are particularly concerned about the number of cases and medical staff being overwhelmed. Juta the rise in cases both in europe and the United States. Right now, we are extremely concerned by the surging cases we are seeing in some countries, particularly in europe and the americas, called workers who new systems are being pushed to the breaking point. And one country that is heading into Strict Lockdown from cheese day is austria. The alpine nation putting in place some of the strictest coronavirus measures of all european nations pretty much a blanket curfew on leaving your house will be in place across australia, 24 hours a day. Youll only be able to leave to go and get food to take some exercise by yourself. Or if you need to go and pay if the somebody else. Schools also kindergartens, all nonessential shops, they are all going to be closed down. So thats the end could the austrian chancellor said that these measures we needed if there was to be any hope of easing them somewhat over the christmas period. Many angling hippy do appeals is for the next 4 weeks. Dont meet anyones. Every social contact is one too many. Only then can we reopen our country, step by step in december and save the christmas season. For paul francis found itself ravaged by the coronavirus, olivia found on the French Health minister has said though, that he understands that theyve reached the peak. However, when he looks at the number of people who are dying still of coronavirus in france and says, those numbers are still far too high. Everything points to france having passed the peak of the cold, 19 epidemic. We are not beaten the virus clearly is too early to say. Weve won and drop our guard. Also news coming out of sweden on monday. Sweden of course, held up by some as the example of how to handle covert without him putting in place strict rules. Well, the news is theyre going to be putting in place strict rules because allowing, leaving that up to people hasnt worked. Steff i love in the Prime Minister of sweden saying that there would be a cap of 8 people being allowed to mix outside of their homes. Previously, that had been a suggestion of anywhere between 50 and 300 people live in announcing this saying that these measures were necessary as the country tries to get a grasp on rising covert cases. Where revelations concerning the trumpet ministrations, Foreign Policy have come to light after a high ranking diplomat admitted to keeping the president in the dark regarding troops on the ground in syria. The senior official who is now retiring has said that the actual number is much higher than officially stated. We were always playing show games to not make clear to our leadership how many troops we had. The u. S. Military operations have been ongoing in syria since 2014, without the approval of damascus. The current number of american troops currently known to the public stands at roughly 600, and the pentagon says their role is to fight the remnants of terrorist groups in the region. Donald trump has ordered military withdrawals from syria before, with the exception of a few 100 troops that remains to guard the countrys eastern oil wells. According to a whistleblower diplomat, however, the us army remains at full strength. When the situation in northeast syria had been fairly stable and after we defeated isis, trump was inclined to pull out each case. We then decided to come up with 5 bets around humans for why we needed to stay. And we succeeded both times. Thats the story. We spoke to professor and middle east analyst, joshua landis, who believes it would be naive to think the president wasnt in the loop. Well, somebody like jeffery probably thinks the president is a fool and that itll do his own reputation. Good. If he makes it clear that you know he suffers fools, he doesnt suffer fools lightly. Well, im sure the white house wasnt really in the dark. You know, most of us who watch syria pretty carefully understood that there were a lot more than a few hundreds of soldiers there. On the other hand, it is quite clear that the president made his wishes clear about withdrawing from syria on 2 different occasions. And he ran into a ton of opposition from the state Department Defense department, and his entire National Security establishment. They are trying to roll back russia and iran maximum pressure on iran. And they didnt want the president to muck up their policy. And so they fought back vigorously, they came up with the oil excuse that they, they knew he might latch on to, but i might have my hunch is the president was aware of what was going on, and it just wasnt worth his fight to clear out syria for more of your world news stories, make sure to check out our website and follow us on twitter. Ill be back with more at the top of the hour. And i hope to see you then the world is
