vulnerable for human activity especially as the natural resources are mind and exploited even on the large scale globally and yet with a man that is still exposed to natural disasters many of them which are caused by anthropogenic interference besides many scientists think that outbreaks of dangerous diseases is a response to such an intrusion and this is why it's crucial to build a harmonious relationship of man and made sure we see this on the example of climate change this is to them a problem requires real action it's no longer a nabs an abstract tide bright high brow item for the scientific debate something that has direct relevance for every citizen of what are the. global warming makes the ice cap melt and makes the firm of frost melt. the experts believe

that in the decades to come the base and intensity of such approaches will only grow more intense and this is a serious challenge for the rest of the world and of course for russia to permafrost takes up to 65 percent of the territory such changes can deliver and irrepairable damage to biodiversity if you can have an extremely negative impact on the economy and infrastructure it can endanger people doing this is a very relevant issues for us and takes it's true for pipeline systems on the verge of a frosty for citizen settlements that are located on the russian territory that stand on the permafrost. move and it is believed that by the year 2100 about 25 percent of the permafrost well my thought will melt down and think this is a serious danger that the situation can spiral out of control the sky. the chain

reaction to the meltdown of the permafrost goes as they meet a politically mission into ash atmosphere and its greenhouse effect but just pay attention a little bit its greenhouse effect it's 28 percent more harmful than the carbon dioxide. consequently the temperature on the planet will keep going up for us permafrost will keep melting should have a faster you have a more methane is emitted into the atmosphere a vicious circle. after all do we really want to leave. venus climate with it's a lifeless and scorch would be no surface if you. look at a fairly nice piece to see an average earth's surface temperature is 40 and degree celsius in venus it's 462. let me go to something completely different you make no mistake planet earth has more than just geographic continents right now

it has. almost infinite almost boundless digital space and year in and year out people are exploring it you have a past and you could've been forced restrictions caused by the coronavirus it be danica's you have boasted development office remote digital technology you started a communications internet based communications have become part of global commons and you should seek to make this interest target sure then cyberspace in its entirety to upgrade seamlessly and securely so the remote working arrangements are no longer necessary precaution against the pandemics. in fact we're talking about the new forms of employment new forms of social interaction or human communication as their technology progresses this change is inevitable. the circumstances of the. they have merely exhilarated the process.

everybody appreciates the convenience of this technology but there is a flip side to this metal. growth of older risks and in the digital space yes cyberspace is fundamentally novel medium the one that in fact never had a universally recognized rules of conduct but you knowledge you have by far outstripped the legal framework and at the same time it's a very peculiar dumain than the one where a matter of trust looms large and. i think we should use in our historical experience we should look into the retrospect. you know what i mean by this well during the cold war there is a specific term the confidence building measure to measure since the sheet to go with him and that related to the relate to interactions between the u.s.s.r.

and the united states between the war so treaty countries and the nato which means the military political sphere. today and i stress this the rivalry is hybrid as it were it's going to. impact on all domains or for human life which means that we need to build confidence yeah across the board in all the manners and cyberspace can be testing ground for this kind of new confidence building measures just like arms control has a way in the path towards the better confidence and trust in the world globally and it's clear that designing the measures for cyberspace is very difficult but it's past time we started this effort and russia is actively promoting bilateral and multilateral arrangements and cyber security. in the united nations we have introduced and he. 2 draft conventions on the topic we have founded an appropriate

open ended working group i have just recently addressed the united states with a proposal to start a comprehensive discussion of international information security remains. fully aware that there is the election campaign going on and united states politics. have plenty of things on their mind. but we hope that the next administration whichever it is would respond to our proposals on this issue and others on the russia america genda and those are plenty. global security issues future of the new start treaty and many others. and even going to leave me there are plenty of things to discuss and we stand ready to discuss them frankly with me in arnest and equitably. yes there was a time when the crucial international issues have been in fact discussed by moscow

and washington while its long time gone but we believe this bilateral dialogue in this instance. actual dialogue and cyber security is an important step for a. far reaching discussion that we can gauge many other countries and organizations well maybe the united states will be unwilling to join this effort that would be a one man to pull out of but we will not stop at this we will be ready to engage with it with anyone interested in joining the efforts i think there will be plenty of people me plenty of partners like this. one other aspect and we are living in the era of. major shocks and crisis when no strangers to this especially the cold war generation let alone the 2nd world war generation. think it's not just a memory for them and part of. records which makes me wonder you manage he has

advanced beyond the beyond technologically and socially economically aims at the same time. humanity has. lost touch with the moral ground vehicle values that make humanity has lost its way and resign better you can no longer understand what's the mission of the man on the human on the planet earth people like this crisis cannot be resolved through diplomatic negotiations you cannot convene an international conference to deal with this if it takes revisiting the priorities and initially rethinking the goals and we should start with ourselves with every human being with a community with a state and only then we should proceed with reshaping the global order. coronavirus demick can become a reference point for this transformation. and. this

reassessment of this rethinking. is still going to happen sooner or later we all understand that. it's necessary and i agree. and with those who say that it's better to study sooner rather than later because studies now look i mean you and it's no coincidence that i remember the historical analogy of the older generations that went through the thick and thin past century. the things that we've discussed today is something that the youth will be dealing with . all the topics that you have been debating about it is the youth the people the younger generations who will have to find solutions to these russian citizens who are now we might maturing and gaining life experience will have to address this challenges in the 21st century as they have their own views towards the past

present the future. and. you know yet i believe that there is one constant about us and about. us and these are the best traits of our nation it's patriotism what to say we will to overcome the creativity is a liability to work hard to send them to help one another their beauty to surprise the world by. my finding solutions to the very good you seem possible tasks i'm going to be among colleagues i've. discussed various problems today i've mentioned many things you can use in which to meet. and i hope that despite all the difficulties you get with actually some of the world will be able to come together and. fight the real threats not the make believe once

find in in a strength confront them i hope that the world will cast aside your self-centered as the greed the feckless and wasteful consumption you hear one might ask why isn't it utopian isn't it just an exercise in wishful thinking. it's going no what when you look at the actions of our fellow human beings. my have my doubts. and yet i strongly believe. that the common sense will prevail. i believe. that we still can understand one another we just have to open our eyes and. cast aside the silo mentality and understand that the earth the air the water is for us to steward it's our legacy and we need to cherish it. just as we

need to cherish the value of every human life because. this is a complex and wonderful world and it leaves us no other option we don't want to. make the mistakes of the past again thank you. thank you very much well ending on an inspirational note that was the russian president vladimir putin speaking at the vote i discussion club which is a moscow based think tank and discussion forum up to get all the finer points out of the discussion now let's go to dawn corso who's been listening in dong good to see you could you talk us through some of the points from the day before he spoke for quite a while. yeah absolutely mickie well like you said it was definitely a very optimistic speech i would say throughout especially at the end but president vladimir putin did go through a number of points about geopolitics internal russian affairs about russian democracy he said that that it was important no matter what what development path

the country was taking for government officials to be accountable to the people he specifically used the term vassals accountable to the people and he he expressed the the wish that the russian system would be that way he also talked about a number of international points he said that now that we're you know now that the cold war is over now that the international situation is not so bipolar between the u.s.s.r. and the united states we're living in what what he called somewhat of an a new world order it's now it's no longer the post 2nd world war world that the world is living in and russia is still trying to reassess its place in that putin talked about the importance of international organizations for security and how people at this forum have been discussing that the future role of independent states is looking like they're going to be acting more independently than as part

of some sort of international coalition or alliance as we saw more in the 20th century but for that reason stress that it is important for international security organs connected to the united nations for example to be preserved and strengthened help couldn't also talked about cyber space send specifically international cyber space security he stressed that moscow has been for a long time looking to establish by lateral and multi-lateral agreements between countries to assure that cyberspace between these countries is secure and he also mentioned that you know there are the u.s. elections coming up and he. does want to see cooperation between moscow and washington whoever wins in the elections whatever administration comes to power in this field is to come up with some sort of biological bilateral. security agreement between the united states and russia he also stressed he also talked a bit about non-governmental organizations in russia and how part of them

a number of them are of course important for an independent civil society but he stressed that there are a number there have been a number of non-governmental organizations in russia's past that have had a political agenda a foreign political agenda i might add that are actually unhealthy for the growth of democracy not just in any not just in russia but in any country and so that's basically the rundown of what putin said and it's important to note that this conference had a lot of international experts on the speakers list we had people from austria indonesia china and india among those countries of course from russia as well and even the prime minister. was in attendance so this is the 17th annual conference of the walda club was certainly a moment monumental one especially because it was open to journalists and the public for the 1st time in history so yeah. don thanks for breaking that down for

us that's not you don't close i think you know. the u.s. now where the election is just 12 days away president trump will be hoping to cut joe biden's polling lead at the final debate later on today it will have a very different feel to the 1st round with a mute button used to stop the candidates from interrupting each other the choice of topics will include the pandemic climate change and national security but not foreign policy and republicans say that will deny trump a chance to attack biden over the business dealings of his son and the latest development the us senate judiciary committee has asked the heads of twitter and facebook to testify of alleged political bias and i thought of the platforms took down links to a new york post article and hunted by to. have delves into that and a few other controversies. it is often the case that those who trumpet loudest

about being fair and unbiased aren't at all but facebook really seems to mean that they want fair elections no meddling and the president that america wants and facebook wants so today i want to share the steps that we're taking to protect election integrity and make sure that facebook is a force for good in democracy part of what facebook is doing is harboring people to police news and one of the things that they're censoring is about the current scandal so joe biden his son and ukraine which involves alleged meddling abuse of power blatant conflict of interest and a whole lot of money going into the biden's family counts now if you try to share a link to an article about this on twitter or facebook here is what you get the link you are trying to access has been identified by twitter or our partners has been potentially spammy or unseat in accordance with tweeters you are poor see how

does this happen how does that huge scandal get sent to the bidens have a lot of friends and one of those friends who now happens to work is election integrity police it facebook is a certain anima can do i'm not used to work as joe biden senior policy adviser for europe and eurasia which includes ukraine perseid see when biden jr was raking in a standing sums of money for a ukrainian energy company for doing well no one knows what while daddy told ukrainian authorities how to run that country. an american city by senior policy adviser for ukraine at the time also listened to the calls and said release of the transcripts would only strengthen biden's case that he acted properly she helped biden prepare for the conversations and said the old created at a high level if this wasn't enough corruption and cronyism for you adna was also

a nonresident senior fellow at the atlantic council which dubs itself a nonpartisan think tank it also provided a slew of stuff for a bomber and his democrats administration james jones susan rice etc the point is that the same time it was devising joe biden at the same time his son was reportedly raking in millions of dollars from this ukrainian energy company the firm also began making payments to the atlantic council $100000.00 in donations so under adam is what this company was paying both biden jr her boss's son hand the atlantic council for which she worked and now she's at facebook which previously partnered with the atlantic council and are you at all surprised that stories critical of barton are now disappearing while i will intentionally not link to the new york post i want to be clear that this story is eligible to be

fact checked by facebook's 3rd party fact checking partners in the meantime we are reducing its distribution on our platform breaking the news was ad d. stone a career democrat and as is tradition now a facebook spokesperson you couldn't make this up remember what i said about those who proclaim the neutrality loudest well. facebook is and always has been an open transparent and nonpartisan platform where people can express themselves freely freely are through approval from facebook senses and factious election integrity police and chances are a form of joe biden stuff aside from that yes freely. discuss the link between social media censorship and the american elections with you about that. facebook google and twitter previously vowed to prevent election to ferentz through their platforms to what extent do you think they've managed to fulfill that promise

i don't really know what twitter or facebook could have done what they have instead done is made a horrifying promise that they can regulate truth that is hard enough to do in a world that isn't politics where does information is part of the game they showed a significant bias in going after the hunter biden disclosures and i've read the hunter biden emails may strike me as perfectly valid perfectly plausible so i believe the story and i think that that that twitter and facebook are are deliberately trying to withhold information from the public in a clear effort to swing the election well we know that in contrast to what happened with honor biden story we didn't think about the christopher seal which exploded across the world we get so used to get creams utterly discredited and so far on f.b.i. so relieved to me it's crystal clear that whoever is these are pretty sober events

and very nice companies heavily say we says our mainstream media the less and less and this is pushing down back aggressively right now it ways and i think we may very well suppress results and you know say the 2020 election in this country do you think many ways to be legal changes to restrict the power of online platforms to decide what we can accommodate quite frankly we are moving at a startling pace in terms of all these platforms and we don't have the laws that really apply to them they've made promises they can't keep and they are trying to please their user base is based soley on the the outrage of the moment the important point is that the censorship is being imposed on facebook and twitter by the government the government is afraid of these platforms. liberals and democrats are both pushing for for increased government regulation and i think it's an

assault on free speech so i think of the she was much free speech as possible and that means there will be their speech but the only remedy for bad speech is good speech. a volunteer in a leading corona virus vaccine trial has died in brazil the drug is being developed by the anglo swedish firm astra zeneca along with oxford university well so far it hasn't been revealed whether the volunteer received the actual vaccine or a placebo according to brazilian media he was a 28 year old doctor who had been treating tobit 19 patients in an intensive care facility in rio since march he reportedly died from complications due to the virus is not the 1st setback for the astra zeneca vaccine back in september tests were temporarily put on hold as off the volunteer fell sick with a rare spinal disorder this time however the trials will continue following careful assessment of this case in brazil there have been no concerns about safety of the

clinical trial and the independent review in addition to the brazilian regulator have recommended that the trial should continue. we heard from dr mohammed moneer after all is just at lancaster university in the u.k. he thinks astra zeneca needs to be transparent over what happened to the volunteer . if we do look on to the front runners vaccine oxford university the arsenic up partnership vaccine is the one that have received the major concerns and terms of pauses in terms of having safety concerns and now having any will and here. but a bit in the phase 3 trial which is the last 'd a trial i think that is really concerning i don't think them that the real question will come back the da person has been vaccinated or was in the police have a group because now i would be determinative for really seeing if the safety is good enough to continue the trial or not but looking really onto the onto the trial continuation because brazilian government approved to carry on the trial meaning that probably the person has been in the political group but

a game the question is that about that the transparency in providing all that information public a leaks is meant taint a lot because if it doesn't it's really hard to interpret what we really is the actual situation on the ground. azerbaijan and armenia remain locked in the heaviest fighting since the 1990 s. and spite of to cease fires that is ongoing shelling in the disputed nickel and i can back region donald faison the area. right now we head into the north to the northern front line which is one of the 2 remaining major hotspots in the corner cab back our drivers brother is serving there so he's bringing food and warm clothes as we're going our driver keeps glancing to the right there's only a couple kilometers between our car and there's eerie artillery the road he's being heavily shelled. the homely smell of freshly baked bread filling the car seems out of place as we're

approaching the frontline town so this is where we had to get out the city of that kept essentially they couldn't take us to the front line and in fact they didn't go either not only because it's too dangerous but because the commanding officer of that particular platoon didn't want us filming there so that we don't give out the positions but the city of martek out of it has no rest this is just one of hundreds of craters left all around the city just this tuesday the armenian forces managed to repel a $700.00 strong attack here now that the as every command knows how storage the resistance is they've cranked up the bombardments by an order of magnitude. live on our driver has to unload his cargo here he knows that there will be no shortage of good samaritans willing to pass it on to those in the trenches when there's a break in the fighting of course meanwhile live on and his friends can do more

good collecting a new batch of supplies. our friends from russia send us what we need or we buy supplies ourselves and bring them to those who need it i'm accused of reporting from the northern front plain immigrant to care about our team. they care about food stretches back more than 3 decades and erupted in late september azerbaijan and armenia have twice agreed to paul's hostilities but have accused each other of violating those agreements the region is populated mostly by armenians but he is legally part of azerbaijan on wednesday azerbaijan claimed it took control of several villages in the water and region and this defense ministry published this footage as evidence we spoke to some azeris who fled their homes in a corner care about almost 30 years ago when the conflict 1st broke out. i'm overwhelmed with joy we've been waiting for this for 27 years and all of a sudden you hear the news of liberation when we were forced to leave those

villages i felt so terrible as i was leaving the grave of my brother behind me i was trying when visiting his grave for the last time as the enemy was approaching. by the time of occupation i had been married for a year and had a young child left her village with empty hands thanks to the authorities and our soldiers will be back home soon let my entire house with all belongings disappear i just want my land back i need that land. we left our hearts and souls and. memories are tied to the city for these past 27 years i've been thinking of when and how we would return i lost almost all my colleagues i worked with we were scattered throughout the country i knew the city is liberated i can hardly believe it the 1st thing i'll do is restore my house i have so many dreams and desires for when i am back it is hard to express it in words i told my kids a lot but they need to see the place on their own to fully understand my stories

leaving fus really was the end of the world for me i was 14 all i remember is bombs being dropped on our heads i am so happy and grateful to our soldiers that i can make my dream come true the years of displacement will be in my memory forever i do not wish that on anybody. thank you joining us they are not the international we're back at the top of the hour with the late. let any brain. my favorite or them and us losing riots we have a part of the brain right here in the middle that's on the right side very high with assimilated and even healthy people one of the crew folks sold out of body experience.

according to u.n. estimates by 2019 the flow of migrants out of africa had reached 36000000. around one 3rd of all displaced africans make their way north to europe. as if they were the immunity i'll come to the. people who got the news but get it if you've got the fuel to change. so many people determined to reach europe risking their lives to do so who are thinking and who profits from their perilous journey.
