7:30 am
so in this case, turkey believes mistakenly an error of us that peace can be established through the use of force. in this respect, we disagree, but only a conflict had president putin. unless the taber, there are any direct contacts while the ceasefire was being negotiated with. and if so, what kind of contact was it? there were of course, contacts regarding the situation after story. you know that as a result of the go, it was decided that a monitoring center would be set up. it would be located in azerbaijan, but outside of nagorno-karabakh, the center will monitor how the ceasefire is observed in the same cease fire that's on the ground, is maintained in the preserve, through the efforts of russian peacekeepers. the question that's, it shows how is the russian government owns a controlled situation within the expatriate community between the 2 communities. i mean, the millions of armenians living in russia in several 1000000 or their buddies, also living in russia. it's obvious that there are going to be clashes based on
7:31 am
ethnicity based. i think it's another of equipment persuaded you doing it, you know, but i think in it with absolutely. no, it's absolutely not obvious and not inevitable. and i completely disagree with you there. 1st of all, as you probably know, the number of armenians living in russia is about the same as the number of them living in armenia, sweden slightly higher than in actual armenia. yes, of course he was. and as you also know, most of these armenians and most of these azerbaijanis are well respected members of russian society. we sure do have our unique russian society, a society that embraces many ethnicities and faiths, and successful individuals. both armenians and azerbaijan, illustrated during that russia is truly a land of opportunities. they are all responsible, well respected and responsible members of our society. we fully understand that on russian soil, they have to follow the laws of the russian federation was, as you know, that russia, any kind of hate fueled behavior or something like that towards an ethnic group is
7:32 am
against the law. it's absolutely unacceptable in our country and our fellow citizens, both armenians and azerbaijanis know that's very well and actually behave very at the responsibly to restructure that. sounded like a warning. no, cause i'm just stating facts. it's just the fact it's good. they really do banks very responsibly. you know, there were some incidents, very beginning of the recent tragic events. but as you know, a lot of the anybody just going to be, we put a stop to it very fast with the computer on the let's talk about our helicopter. that was shot down by the, by john, what was the president's 1st reaction and why, or rather, how was this conflict localise over the past week? yes, it is really awful. it's a tragedy. 2 of our men are dead. and you know, of course, how painful it is for all of us, for military commanders and all our servicemen and probably russian people in
7:33 am
general. but in this case, it was obvious that as a budge on, immediately reacted. the president of azerbaijan immediately reacted and azerbaijan pledged to conduct an independent investigation into it, and punish those responsible all of that made it possible for us to accept their apology. we continue to see both passion, young, and leave as our friends at the same time. because of course, as you know,, armenia and russia are partners in the region, economic or immunity. the c.s.t., you know, we've been building our relations with armenia for centuries. nothing in the same is true of amortized. have with azerbaijan, we value our friendship. i was shared history, both with the people of azerbaijan and the people of armenia, moscato. it is this kind of approach that allows russia to be an objective intermediary in
7:34 am
during the vietnam war, u.s. forces also bombs neighboring laos. there was a secret war. and for years, the american people did not know how much his official mouth can rebound country, per capita, human history. millions of unexploded bombs still in danger. lives in this small agricultural country went out of control. it's happening even today, kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago. is the us making amends for the tragedy in laos. what helped to the people need in that little land on german babies? cry in a pattern like saying, entrenched babysits a man is so those that actually follow the rhythmic pattern or says my
7:35 am
so you know, show where they get that and it turns out she looked into it 1st, what was happening was that the babies could actually hear their mothers featured in the movie, join me every thursday on the alex salmond show. and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business. i'm showbusiness. i'll see if that the world is driven by dreamers shaped by those great dares thinks we dare to ask
7:36 am
was always in the boombox close to show like big city bright lights. you jump, but you know, g.'s and many dangers that the cocoon of labor that lead to it's also a city where up to 300000 crimes are committed every year for the last living. but even then you most need still to the result least one police officer think every 200 residents in russia's capital cost on. now we wish you all put in a little trick that will not go with the wind up boysen. you're looking good for the muslims. the people who were going to last
7:37 am
is you'll be via reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safe, isolation community, are you going the right way or are you being led? so direct. what is true? was his faith in a world corrupted. you need to descend to join us in the death or a mate in the shallows. there is a mystery. do we value our friendship with the people of belarus?
7:38 am
there's more than just a friendship. it's like family is alexander lukashenko family to the isabella russian. so you consider him family? of course, seriously, i don't want to have my distant relatives of about to roost during the 26 or 27 years of his presidency, alexander lukashenko consistently tried to rip up russia. he would ask us for money and will then go to china. he would demand discounted gas prices and make a deal with the americans. this is been happening throughout his whole presidency. why do we support alexander lukashenko so vehemently? it's not the alexander lukashenko who is owed. we support the legitimate president of a nation is that we consider to be our brothers or produce support the rule of law in this resolution nation. for over 10 years, russia and the russian president supported and indirectly subsidized by the russian economy. and it wasn't just subsidizing well, it was an indirect because the whole belorussian economy is just part of the russian. exactly. and that of course is because we are the closest of allies. we
7:39 am
are 2 nations that are like brothers. and of course we value one another. mr. prescott, the same things were said about the ukrainians a few years ago. and we still think of ukraine as a nation. we have a family ties with love, but we are no longer brothers. we have no relations can no longer be qualified as brotherly. because in recent years, the country's leadership has a lot of effort into fostering animosity towards russia in the ukrainian people. but we don't think that this will lead to a long term immunity against russia. it can't last, these antibodies will disappear. really, just like the corona virus antibodies, these are artificially implanted antibodies. the mt russian sentiment is that the recent regional elections prove my point, the elections in ukraine useless to n.g.o.s as they show that the antibodies are not organized strong. you know what i'm talking about. but let's go back to reality . we can talk about protests being autumn of one successful and such are about
7:40 am
hundreds of thousands took to the streets in a very small country. only 6000000 people actually live there. 3000000 live outside bellary, sort of hundreds continue to protest in different cities because they continue to come out to protest against president bush and co in one of the opposition. leaders have never expressed any anti russian views unlike president lukashenko. so why do we keep supporting? look at shanker, maybe it would make more sense to look elsewhere. i'm sure you've heard my statements regarding this. i have answered questions about belarus, asked by journalists above and it was not just one statement or a couple of statements. and i'm convinced that i have nothing else added to those things. not mr. prescott. no, i have nothing to add to my explanations with orals. you can easily look at the months. yes, through them. of course we can look them up, but russians are very sensitive to these situations. they see it on t.v. and they are concerned different people with different views are concerned, but all these people are against alexander lukashenko. some think that belarus is our territory. russia's border is near breast, and that's where we should position our intermediate range and short range missiles
7:41 am
. others think that it should be a free country, independent from russia, and definitely not under local. shanker and there's a 3rd, they see alexander lukashenko with an empty machine gun. no, i mean nation, his son walking alongside through an empty square dressed in military uniform. and this image bothers them. don't you think that this franchise not doing any good to our image and ratings? people may have completely different views such a key principle for us is legitimacy under international law and order whatever happens has to be in line with the law. does the people of bel-air reuss have to ensure legitimacy? they should be no outside interference. but you mentioned international law, but most countries are not recognise the outcome of the election. well, it's also the russian president signed into law a bill on the supremacy of domestic legislation. and the russian constitution over this so-called international law. so why do we always harp on about international law when the way i'm referring? it's really a provision that, you know, run counter to the russian constitution, which i do. we always make references to international law. if it,
7:42 am
that's the most essential point of reference. true, a country may not recognize the election outcome of. however, no country has the mandate provided by international law to demonise lection,, legitimate or illegitimate in no country. neither the e.u., not germany, france, poland, and so on. they simply do not have the mandate. does it mean that only alexander lukashenko has this mandate? well, they have been the central election commission really has the sole position to exercise this mandate. let's not go into detail. i've shared with you as key principle of the virus. let's go back to item number one of the agenda, the cover 19 and the exact number of cases rushes and you know, moscow, mayor sergei sabean recently admitted that of 25 percent searching cases. basically in a couple of weeks time could push health care in moscow to peak capacity as well. if that's the situation moscow, we also know that was happening across russian regions. take the almost region, for example, when an ambulance was not able to have patients admitted to a clinic and drove them to the buildings of the regional administration, it is disgraceful. the regional authorities feel that no lessons were learned. how
7:43 am
did the crime and learn about the endemic, which was expert judgment that you take into account and what's next. you had the disease yourself along with your wife and you had antibodies. you portray the picture, but it is a gloomy, difficult to tell the audience about the monumental efforts of our government in the past 6 months about with otality rate, which is far better than in other countries about the medications, which you look at, everybody, you are supposed to say that you should have mentioned it. yes, i will definitely. now that you brought up medication, moscow is seeing a shortage. but it sure. the fuck or. ok, here's my comment. indeed, pressure on the health care system is enormous. nicol, in some regions, it's beyond that capacity. after the 1st outbreak in the spring, which slowly continued into the summer, it was extremely difficult. it was extremely difficult. it was a time when we had to scramble for brand new treatments and protocols and to test them. we had to add new equipment to reequip hospital beds,
7:44 am
so we spent the summer creating a rougher images to make sure we can handle any repeat of the edges. we now have this buffer. we have extra hospitals, extra beds, well equipped with including with oxygen, with procured extra ventilators. there is no shortage of p.p.l. . it is not in this year. i am referring to the give doctors. and yes, people know what p.b.s. stands for. what? right. you say there are no medications. indeed, some places questions here on this one. yet it is absolutely. it is only appropriate that i'm concerned about us as a nation. never. i put out another film. people start dogging me with messages their only show the fairyland of moscow and life outside moscow is completely different. story that you must go is different. that's true, but you have to ask who is definitely several steps ahead of the rest of russian. some aspects, it is several steps ahead of europe. the hospitals moscow built here in the spring
7:45 am
. the mobile hospitals in particular are on president. absolutely. even germany has nothing like over 1000 hospital that was built in moscow last spring. thanks to moscow mayors a man and is that iraq was after as we all look at the rest of the country, they all had the same money. and the same possibilities of the president said many times they can use money from any fund in order to fight a pandemic. and on the last, we see that russia's regions are experiencing huge problems with medical care. now there was a tragic incident recently in the region. there is an absolutely unacceptable situation all straighten out in our people. see this? yes, it's true that there have been problems with medical care in some regions. some of them critical and indeed unacceptable is pretty. it's impossible to hide things like that. so these days, the federal authorities have been responding to such cases in a timely manner or the military hospital has deployed in cassio more than 48 hours, incidents on president's orders. you know, the government has put together a special mobile corps of medical professionals,
7:46 am
several hundreds of them travel across the country to provide help on site, both with advice and protocols. and by stepping in, they dressage challenges and help solve problems. the thing is that this pandemic has been such a huge and unprecedented challenge. but some problems are just inevitable. we're going to put when did we realize the scope of the challenge? and i think the entire world realized it more or less at the same time. he went to the president, realizing clearly cook was well, the president, i'm sure you sort yourself well, since last spring, the president has been working almost 247 meetings every day and all that. and he crisis measures what develops to help our economy, to mitigate the losses that have been inevitable because of the pandemic by can show. he realized it all immediately. it's a different thing now though, there was this sort of hope that it won't get as bad as it was last spring. of course i wasn't sure there would be any 2nd wave, and now we see that it's getting even tougher than it was inspirational. so getting
7:47 am
back to the president, where did this idea of developing a vaccine in russia come from? who pushed it? the gamma layer research institute requests, and so director gainsbourg approached you or did he approach the president, how did it all happen? no, no 1st of all right, a number of research centers and the barge reasonable began working on vaccine development on the president's leadership to start. they did it because it's their job. who and yes, the government audit had to go because it was clear from the very start to encourage your an epidemiologist that we can't take on the endemic without successful x. nation. so relevant research began from the very start and some of these labs made a breakthrough. the 1st vaccine that was ready was the one, you know, as i said with like vigilance, by the going to a research institute. yes indeed. well that's how we got it. and it's indeed a very good vaccine that we hope we can get in, try it on yourself, will i didn't, because unfortunately i got to try the natural form of corona virus on myself. how are you feeling? by the way? you're not great. can you tell us more?
7:48 am
i was sick. what were the 7 times the symptoms are like you have some strange flu, which we had all experienced the flu before? this is an unusual kind of to go with in which what was unusual about it. you have a headache, but it is an unusual headache. muscle pain also feels different, and then you get all these strange sensations in the lung of it's difficult to breathe. look at the pneumonia that is not really pneumonia. it is basically thrombosis, pulmonary from bosis, you know, everything with you. with course, i think at this point, the average russian is like a medical school graduate when it comes to biology. and i hope that otherwise i will definitely not get qualified doctors who can treat us well, but in cases long information on both sides are not on buses. yes. so you felt short of breath. yes. and losing the sense of smell and taste completely was a very unique sensation. your wife's symptoms weren't as severe, right? she was only sick for about 3 days. she also lost the sense of smell and taste for
7:49 am
5 or 7 days. this lasted longer, in my case, this far as feeling sick. it was only about 3 days for her hurt, and the president came from several times. the real daughter got this last scene. and she had something to do with the development of a malaria vaccine. is that true? of course not. i mean, his daughter chose the vaccine after leaving a child, as you have options like a store chose no, it was during phase 2 of the clinical trials. they were looking for volunteers and she volunteered yes, of course. now after face to russia claims, and the president said that we registered this vaccine. do you think that maybe was premature since we didn't exactly follow the guidelines and then wait until the 3rd phase expedited registration is allowed? the government makes that decision. it is possible to register a vaccine based on the results of the 1st 2 phases. phase 3 still be completed. that is what's happening now with the gamma layer that there are certain procedures in place for these situations, which in such procedures exist in many countries,
7:50 am
where many countries are also using be expedited registration mechanism for me. nevertheless, phase 3 of the clinical trials for an american vaccine concluded yesterday because the expedited, the 3rd phase, but in expect a, the registration of all that will happen in a few days. so there is really no difference. it's basically the same. we do understand how effective the vaccine is. does the crime have the understanding? do you believe in what we were sold out of the 1st of all the crime and can't be the judge of the vaccine its effectiveness? so you believe what the experts tell you right? yes, we absolutely trust russian viral adjusts experts at the gamma layer research institute, which you have published the results of their studies just recently. 94 percent of the 92 percent is a many to yes, 92 percent, which is 2 percent more factor than pfizer's vaccine. that's possible, of course, of the radically 90 percent effectiveness. it's quite likely, yes, that about 40000 people have taken part in the vaccine trials in our for many there was no blind choice in the placebo or the vaccine, which is the usual way of administrating vaccines that are tested. simply get the
7:51 am
vaccine shot. and the knowledge that openly, so quite a few people in the executive and legislative branches of the government have actually been vaccinated. what is your take on this? it does not look like the participants in vaccine trials. it's real vaccination. know its participation in the trials to 1st of all, we're talking about participation in vaccine trials at the stage when the vaccine is still being tested. this is point number one and people volunteered to take part in these trials. this is point number 2. you see the results of these trials involving all these people become part of the big dataset part of the big dataset related to vaccine testing very well. so these trials are included in the vaccine studies results, right? of course, which, why is the president been vaccinated yet? you know that the president has given high praise to both the sputnik v. and the vaccine developed by vector. he also has high hopes for what about the 3rd vaccine for the 3rd vaccine when he himself decides to get vaccinated, he will inform us ok. yesterday moscow saw 6500 new cases and
7:52 am
a record high number of coronavirus related deaths was recorded yesterday in the country. you know, yesterday we had fewer then it must be today below 6000. now, yesterday we had 6100 think, you know, the day before yesterday we had 6000 nose. i'm pretty sure. well we had this figure at some point but not yesterday. and not the day before yesterday. but i want to argue with you, i can look up the figures in the emergency response teams records right now. well, in any case, we are dealing with very high numbers here. have we reached the peak of the pandemic now? or are we still headed in that direction? and what do you think of the lock down? for now we have the statements by surrogates b.n. and, and president putin who both said that the mobilization level of russia's health care system. them even given the current setbacks we have already discussed today. the level of mobilization of the allows us to implement restrictive measures designed to bring down the number of infections in a way that it won't kill the economy in might. and at the same time, these measures can be readjusted to specific regions of the country. because back
7:53 am
in the spring, the governors were granted special authority to do this. but surely there has to be a way to supervise these special powers. it is clear that governors are no experts in and demick measures is the cover 19 response team in any way supervise this process in the region. you may have noticed one detail if you've been paying attention. in the spring, when president putin held almost daily video conference calls on coronavirus with heads of research centers, scientists, and viola just, he knew them all by name. and he talked to them in such a manner that suggested his deep involvement. like, remember what you told me yesterday on the phone and you said this and that and that, you mean the president used to call each of them talk to every director of a research institute. you see, the president always prefers to examine a problem fairly, especially when dealing with such serious challenges to know the science behind it and to take decisions based on this knowledge. but i'm sure that surrogate does the same. i just hear that i don't have an issue with mr. sabbaton that it's all pretty
7:54 am
clear to me as far as he is concerned. what do you mean an issue? i mean questions. i don't have questions about his competence. he said that governors are now entitled to make decisions at their own discretion. we have the mayor of moscow who has to deal with the highest number of infections in the country on the one hand. and on the other hand, we have the governor of the region. do you really think that the latter is competent enough to take the right decisions on his own? listen, different people react to what is happening now. and it is nothing short of an emergency situation with the pandemic unfolding in the country in different ways. all the governors have a different capacity with different teams and infrastructure, different economic capabilities. you can't compare just any region to moscow. does stand out so well, but one thing is obvious. everyone is doing their best to learn how to tackle the situation and to work on the problems the setbacks they are facing, remain tain. any communication with our foreign partners on the pandemic response. does the kremlin or the international community have any idea when this whole thing
7:55 am
might finally end? you've probably noticed that in every news piece about putin's telephone conversations with his counterparts. there is a line that says that different aspects of the pandemic response have been discussed if this topic is on the agenda. every time president speaks to any of his foreign partners. because kovi $1000.00 is a problem that we all share for some countries, it's even more urgent and for us, we close the cooperate internationally in terms of exchanging information. and also we cooperate on the issue of our vaccine. we are promoting it into other markets. we are currently discussing possible production of a vaccine in other countries. and here in russia, naturally, for a nationwide vaccination campaign, we need to provide as many as 150000000 units to cover our domestic needs only. you're absolutely right. 1st of all we need to meet domestic demand. then we will start supplies to our partners of iraq. yesterday, vladimir putin said the vaccine should be available to everyone. absolutely. that's
7:56 am
why we are engaged in ongoing discussions on that matter. you also asked when this pandemic could end up with, i think no one in the whole world can give you an answer from the scientific perspective. marla, just say that it will end when we develop immunity. that means 70 percent of the global population needs to catch cover 19 recovered, or they should get vaccinated. ok, i see. we need to produce 150000000 shots to make the vaccination widely available . so when we plan to start mass production, and when do we expect the largest sweeping vaccination campaign, sweeping vaccination is out of the question with them. it's all strictly voluntary . we reiterated that many times vaccination will only be done on a voluntary basis. we're starting production, it's a matter of days or weeks. how much will we be producing? that's a different question. obviously, we will be building up our production capacity as we go. but it shows how we have some untapped resources were russian. pharmaceutical industry has made
7:57 am
a huge leap forward. over the past 15 years. it has become a competitive industry. and of course pharmaceutical companies are now capable of taking emergency steps to ramp up production of certain medications. when do you think mass vaccination will kick off? i can't say, i simply don't know, but it will start soon in the coming months. you've drawn my attention to the fact that cover 19 mortality rate and russia is lower than in the u.s. . why is that? 1st of all the death toll in russia is lower due to the preventative measures which are after all effective at curbing the spread of the infection. which measures, in particular, the restrictive measures that were introduced, face masks, and so on and so forth. and then in the us there are mass protests rallies that cetera. so you are against demonstrations. i mean, they don't observe hygiene rules that, oh, i see any russian, everyone follows the rules. yes, people are more disciplined in russia in this regard. and that's where mentality raise lower. you know, i wouldn't put it this way. it's too simplistic. but in general,
7:58 am
russia's health care system has proved to be more. and in what way do you think our health care has proved to be more prepared for the pandemic? and it's just different. russia's health care system is radically different from what they have in the u.s. . and it turns out that it was a case of a pandemic. russian health care is doing better is delivering health care services or rather care, more effectively. church. right. and why is that? our hospitals better in russia than in florida? when you interview minister more next time, you can ask him all these questions and one of them, i'm afraid that the tone of my conversation with mr. roscoe will be very different . anyway, thank you for your so bloodthirsty. yes i am. i thank you mr. biscoe for this interview. thank you very
7:59 am
much for you know, personal soup wolf where sleeves of his w. lovable was you're sure i can board. it doesn't commercial e-mail. benchtop would have been murdered by you that when you discuss all of this, going to use the word because those told me jamie was in the thick of these with it would seem more serious. but it's the most exhibit some of what is in your speech coming off the news, the in the 20th century was thing in a revolution, the great depression and world wars, the 21st century of mental illness. those are my words. that's what surfaced some psychiatry to tell us. the only question is, should we accept it? as a fact. russia's
8:00 am
top diplomat suggests that kremlin critic could have ingested a nerve agent in germany are on the way there, but the kremlin spokesperson stressing that no one is willing to cooperate with moscow. on the case. we want to know the truth. so we said, please help us if you have information that we do not house, please share it with us. but no one wants to cooperate with the news that pfizer's corona virus vaccine could soon be ready for release is giving hope, but mainly to rich countries. as it looks like the poor ones might be priced out.
