A fleeting deception of the election. Still working from the thing from moscow to the international. My names you know me line, youre welcome to the program. Our top story crowds have been gathering throughout the day for a candlelight vigil in the armenian capital. People are remembering those who lost their lives in the conflict with john in the disputed region of the cutback on saturday. A change in mood during the week protests in the city against the ceasefire. Deal between the 2 warring nations grueling creasing the tense. Tensions between armenia over nagornokarabakh came to a head in late september with heavy fighting, taking place for a further 7 weeks. The conflict itself stretches back more than 3 decades. A lot of the region is populated mainly by ethnic armenians. It is legally parts of azerbaijan, r. T. Senior correspondent with the of spoke to the program some hours ago from europe on this is being a song and a sad day in all of our 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 to all those who had died. Bear in mind that i mean is only a nation of 3 of so 1000000 people, a 1000 dead ease, a huge tragedy and thousands dead ease. An enormous catastrophe. Nobody like evening i think would do. And we see this with the to be meeting with the when i was a question. You dont push tonight. You in the next hour of the luxury thorny, you really need to borrow the money 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 think about 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 stay panic at 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 front lines of the godly cut above the head of the peacekeeping, force himself, with 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 is held one that was signed by both the president of us here by john and the Prime Minister of armenia. Not everyone was happy about the terms of that ceasefire. Many people are upset about the territories that as yet, but john sees the territories that are to be handed over to is it about job . Many people here, especially in armenia, protesters gathered near the 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 flare ups plus this 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 azita by johnnys, even as it about john, the mood is somewhat different. People are happy that satisfied with the outcome of the war. Many people say that what has happened is historic justice its a common citizens of solution. As i say, the ceasefire is holding for now there hes cautious 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 signs yesterday when that was an exchange of the remains of killed soldiers dead soldiers between as you know, by john and with russia mediating nevertheless still plenty of difficulties ahead. Lets turn now to the u. S. Where the 2020 president ial election is still officially on the side that counting and recounting continues in a number of states more than 10 days after the vote. Despite the democrats being aliment there among joe biden, wont they trumpet ministration are still publicly gearing up for a 2nd term my own view looking at this election now we, we have what appears in some sense to be an immaculate deception. Were moving forward here at the white house, knew something that there will be a 2nd term. Well, 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, is already underway in georgia. Meanwhile, supporters, all of donald trump came out. Its in their thousands in washington d. C. On saturday to protest the Election Results on its side, the Supreme Court people with slogans 2020 and my guy country President Trump, who are in that they had greeted the crowd with a drive through in his motorcade said the rally was protesters, but youre seeing also salt to come from the rallies with police hoping to get between rival groups. Always are also taking place in another dozen or so cities across the country, jointly labeled a 1000000 march. This state officials and independent observers have said theres no indication of wrongdoing in the election in a statement. In fact, Election Officials called the 2025 the most secure in u. S. History. But a recent poll suggests widespread public concern about voting on the potential for wrongdoing. We discussed the issue with a number of guests, some Bureaucratic Agency saying they think it was the most secure election ever. Thats fine, but we, the people have a right and a campaign has to get to the bottom of this. And if we get to the bottom of the process, the rule of law, the constitution this, that our founders knew how to set this up. Weve had other elections where there 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 obviously is attributed now to going to truck in some state dept president obama is lecturing the American People on concession when Hillary Clinton and the democrats in Congress Never conceded the present, trump, they never stop digging into him. But look out, all im saying is dont accept the results until we get to the bottom of it. Then we should. The question is whether democrats would accept the results if we get to the point where we find big fraud. Bottom line is it doesnt matter whos counting, it doesnt matter what litigation you have by law, by statute you cannot do is beyond december 8th. Zimmer, 14, is a day will be Electoral College has to be and so those are 2 days im looking for. If anyone tries to violate those dates, now youre in a constitutional crisis, and now you are impacting the transfer of power. That is constitutionally mandated by january when republicans supporting Donald Trumps fraud allegations are putting democracy on a dangerous path out is according to former u. S. President , barack obama or the current leaders. Allegations of 5 votes wrong doing a far from the 1st level to an american election. Done. Hawkins 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 and his Campaign Team remain just that allegations until proven otherwise in courts of law. But such controversies are 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 he is 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 with your head spin, wasnt alone the 2004 election saw concerns raised about multiple aspects of the voting process. On key swing state, ohio saw democrat candidate john kerry question whether the outcome represented the will of the voters. And the d. N. C. Chairman agreed. Im not confident that the election in ohio was fairly decided. We know that there was substantial Voter Suppression and the machines were not reliable. It should not be a surprise that the republicans are willing to do things that are unethical to manipulate elections. Thats what we suspect has happened. And wed like to safeguard our elections so that democracy can still be counted on to work. 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 student for him. And i know exactly how it was done. The 2000 bush gore election controversy has been cited by some as a comparison to 2020. Results in the deciding state will close with the Supremes Court giving bush the nod. But the result could have been a very different thousands of voters in florida were labeled felons, preventing them from voting. Bushs brother also happens to be the states governor. No Major Law Firm in florida 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 vote of protection program. For many though, the issue with the president ial election 2020 may not be the result itself or even of trumps claims are all true or not. Against the backdrop of election controversies spanning decades, its the total dismissal and reluctance to even investigate the allegations that will continue to polarize voters for years to come. Or with many expecting to see joe biden in the oval office come january, arties going underground has been assessing his history as regards foreign policy. In the latest show available, r. T. Dot com spoke with a former special adviser to barack obama under whom biden served as vice president. 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 actually buttes 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, and 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. Youre tuned in to our to international is still ahead for sure, man, and for all the sort of warding jobs will go. Very life will be delicate to build her, to build a new way to move forward with the things of westernmost region. Go ahead that story coming your way and will that so what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have. Its crazy one sunday shouldnt let it be an arms race is on all sides. Very dramatic. They follow the only closely. Im going to resist. I dont see how that strategy will be successful, very critical. Time to sit down and talk 19 minutes into the program. Welcome back. 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 this very city council to dismantle the police force altogether in the wake of the death of a black man following an altercation with local officers. The death of george floyd sparked months of nationwide protest. Well homicides in minneapolis have almost doubled since last year with 73 killings reported so far in 2020. Shootings have all to reach that decade. High with 500 people shot this year on Violent Crime is also on the off with over 4 and a half.

Well, betsy partner smith spokesperson for the u. S. National Police Association and geo cities. Defending the Law Enforcement simply leave citizens on protect crime, started to skyrocket and Violent Crime is out of control in certain parts of the city of minneapolis. And so this, this notion of defunding, the police, i actually heard not just the police, but its actually harming the citizens. What were also seeing is the more resources you take away from Police Officers, the Less Community policing there are. And the more Police Officers get hurt, people are not dying quickly of covert 19 in the city of minneapolis. Yes, people are getting sick from cope with 19. Most people in the United States recover quickly for from code 1000. 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.
