better relations that so warm and friendly is where they based on in many respects our interests are aligned. it's vital for both russia and turkey. that the situation in our region is stable, predictable, and peace must go on both. they believe it's because well, that's not very clear. russia and turkey have a lot of mutual interests in terms of trade and economic cooperation, as well as investment cooperation. it serves both moscow's and ankara's interests to work together in 2 years from moscow. what was still you just said it yourself, that turkey was in favor of a military scenario in the south caucasus look. yes, and the turkish president said that they have now you say they want peace, world peace. how could they be an advocate of world peace in this case is turkey believes mistakenly, an arab us, that peace can be established through the use of force. in this respect,

we disagree, but only a conflict that had president putin and the any direct contact all the cease fire was being negotiated with. and if so, what kind of contact was it? there were, of course, contacts regarding the situation after stories. you know that as a result of the go, it was decided that a monitoring center would be set up would be located in azerbaijan. but outside of nagorno-karabakh sense it will monitor how the ceasefire is observed. the same cease fire that's on the ground is maintained in the preserved through the efforts of russian peacekeepers. the question, that's a chess. why was 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 are there, but john is also living in russia. it's obvious that there are going to be clashes based on ethnicity, least. i think it's another of persuading you doing it, you know, but i think 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 and 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 know of our unique russian society, a society that embraces many ethnicities and faiths, and successful individuals. both armenians and azerbaijanis illustrated during that russia is truly a land of opportunities. they are all responsible, well respected and responsible members of our society be fully understands that on russian soil they have to follow the laws of the russian federation was, as you know, that russian, any kind of hate fueled behavior or something like that towards an ethnic group is 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 in your reception of 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 similar, anybody just can't be, we put a stop to it very fast with the computer. 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 localized over the past week? yes, it is really awful. as a tragedy. 2 of our men are dead. you know, of course, how painful it is for all of us, for military commanders and all our servicemen and probably russian people in general. but in this case, it was obvious that as a budge on, immediately reacted, the president of azerbaijan immediately reacted and azerbaijan pledging 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 question, ya know, if, 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, that we've been building our relations with meaning. if a sentry's nothing in the same is true of our ties have with azerbaijan, we value our friendship and was shared history, both with the people of azerbaijan and the people of armenia. and it is this kind of approach that allowed russia to be an objective intermediary. and what does the election results to date? tell us about the state of american politics. there was no blue wave. instead, it was a red ripple,

instead of calls for reconciliation. there are those looking to punish trump supporters? one step forward 2 steps back. is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safe from isolation community? are you going the right way or are you being led? direct? what is true? what is fake? in the world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths. foreign made in the shallowness.

during the vietnam war, u.s. forces also bombs in neighboring laos. it was a secret war. and for years, the american people did not know the mountain house, how much it is officially done, can rebound country per capita human history. millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this small agricultural country. jordyn wieber went out of control. it's happening. even today kids and loves full victims of bombs dropped decades ago. is the u.s. making amends for the tragedy and help to the people need in that little land of mines? do we value our friendship with the people of belarus? it's more than just a friendship. it's like family is alexander lukashenko family to these bene,

russian. so you consider him family? of course, seriously, i don't. my distant relatives are from belarus. during the 26 or 27 years of his presidency. alexander lukashenko consistently tried to rip off russia. he would ask us for money and then go to china. he would demand discounted gas prices and then 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 alexander lukashenko whom we support. we support the legitimate president of a nation that we consider to be our brothers. but we support the rule of law in this rather early nation. for over 10 years, russia and the russian president supported and indirectly subsidized by the russian economy. it wasn't just subsidizing and it was an indirect because the whole belorussian economy is just part of the russian economy. exactly. and that of course, is because we are the closest of allies. we are 2 nations that are like brothers.

and of course we value one another, mr. prescott, but the same things were said about the ukrainians a few years ago. and we still think of ukraine as a nation that we have family ties with, but we are no longer brothers. you know, our relations can no longer be qualified as brotherly because in recent years, the country's leadership put 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 coronavirus antibodies. these are artificially implanted antibodies. the anti russian sentiment will pass the recent regional elections prove my point, the elections in ukraine. yes, they show that the antibodies are not all that strong. you know what i'm talking about, but let's go back to bellows. we can talk about protests being ultimately unsuccessful, etc. but hundreds of thousands took to the streets in

a very small country. only 6000000 people actually live there, 3000000 live outside bellows. hundreds continue to protest in different cities, minsk, if they continue to come out to protest against president lukashenko, in one of the opposition leaders have ever expressed any anti russian views, unlike president lukashenko. so why do we keep supporting local 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 bella reuss asked by journalists. and it was not just one statement or a couple of statements. and i am convinced that i have nothing to add to those statements that mr. because now i have nothing to add to my explanations with her. you can easily look them up. 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 . others think that it should be a free country, independent from russia,

and definitely not under shanker and there is a 3rd group. 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 friendship is not doing any good to our image and ratings? people may have completely different views. the key principle for us is legitimacy . under international law, whatever happens has to be in line with the law. it is the people of bel-air roosts who have to ensure legitimacy. this should be no outside interference. you mentioned international law, but most countries have not recognized the outcome of the election bellows. also, the russian president signed into law a bill on the supremacy of domestic legislation and the russian constitution over the so-called international law. so why do we always harp on about international law? i am referring to the provisions that do not run counter to the russian constitution . why do we always make references to international law if it, that's the most essential point of reference?

true, a country may not recognize the election outcome. however, no country has the mandate provided by international law to demonize lection,, legitimate or illegitimate, no country, no. 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 the central election commission. he has the sole position to exercise this mandate. let is not go into detail. i've shared with you our key principle virus. let's go back to item number one of the agenda. the covered 1000 pandemic. the exact number of cases in russia is unknown. moscow mayor sergei sabean recently admitted that of 25 percent of searching cases. basically in a couple of weeks time would push health care in moscow to peak capacity. 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 disgrace for the regional authorities. refuse that no lessons were learned. how did

the kremlin learn about the pandemic? whose expert judgment you take into account and what's next? you had the disease yourself along with your wife and you had antibodies. you portrayed a fair picture, but it is a gloomy picture. you forgot to tell the audience about the monumental effort by our government in the past 6 months, about the mortality rate, which is far better than in other countries about the medications. you were supposed to say that you should have mentioned it. i will definitely now that you brought up medication, moscow is seeing a shortage, but it is true or ok, here's my comment. indeed, the pressure on the health care system is enormous. in some regions, it's beyond their capacity after the 1st outbreak in the spring, which certainly 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 and so on. we spent the summer creating

a backstop buffer to make sure we can handle any repeat of the surge. we now have this buffer. we have extra hospitals, extra beds, well equipped, including with oxygen, with procured extra ventilators. there is no shortage of p.p. anymore. it is not in this year. i am referring to the gear for the doctors. yes, people know what p.b.s. stands for. right. you say there are no medications, indeed, some places i'm quite sincere on this one. absolutely. it is only appropriate that i'm concerned about us as a nation. whenever 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 must go is different. that's true. moscow 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, the mobile hospitals in particular. our own precedented,

absolutely. even germany has nothing like the covered 1000 hospital that was built in moscow last spring. thanks to moscow, mayor sabbaton. and is that the rock of his efforts? we all look at the rest of the country. they all had the same money and the same possibilities. the president said many times they can use money from any fund in order to fight the pandemic. and on the less 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 straight now 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. it's impossible to hide things like that these days. the federal authorities have been responding to such cases in a timely manner. the military hospital was deployed in casio within 48 hours since the incident on the president's orders. you know that the government has put together a special mobile corps of medical professionals, several hundreds of them travel across the country to provide help on site,

both with advice and protocols. and by stepping in, they dress our 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. when did we realize the scope of the challenge? i think the entire world realized it more or less at the same time. when the president realizes clearly, well, the president, i'm sure you sort yourself. but since last spring, the president has been working almost 247. he had meetings every day and all that. and he crisis measures were developed to help our economy to mitigate the losses that have been inevitable because of the pandemic. i'm sure 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 in spring. so getting back to the president. so where did this idea of developing

a vaccine in russia come from? who pushed it? the gamma layer research institute. i see. so director gainsbourg approached you or did he approach the president? how did it all happen? you know, 1st of all, quite a number of research centers and laboratories began working on vaccine development on the president's orders to start with. they did it because it's their job. and yes, the government ordered it to because it was clear from the very start through the input from epidemiologists that we can't take on the pandemic without successful vaccination. 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 like the by the going to a research institute. yes indeed. that's how we got it. and it's indeed a very good vaccine that we hope we didn't try it on yourself. i didn't because unfortunately i got to try the natural form of corona virus on myself. how are you feeling? by the way? not great. can you tell us more? i was sick. what were the 7 times the symptoms are like you have some strange flu?

we had all experienced the flu before. this is an unusual kind of what was unusual about it. you have a headache, but it isn't unusual. headache, muscle pain also feels different. and then you get all these strange sensations in the lungs. it's difficult to breathe in pneumonia that is not really pneumonia. it is basically thrombosis, pulmonary from bosis, you know everything. of course, i think, at this point, the average russian is like a medical school graduate. when it comes to biology. i hope not otherwise all, definitely not get qualified doctors who can treat us, but in cases long information from both sides are not on buses. yes. so you fell 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, but for 5 or 7 days. this lasted longer. in my case,

this far as feeling sick. it was only about 3 days for her. we've heard and the president come from several times, there is daughter got this vaccine. and she had something to do with the development of the family, a vaccine. is that true? of course not. i mean, his daughter chose the vaccine after chose 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. and 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 of expedited registration is allowed? if the government makes that decision, it is possible to register a vaccine based on the results of the 1st 2 phases, but phase 3 will still be completed, and that is what's happening now with the gamma layer vaccine. there are certain procedures in place for these situations and such procedures exist in many countries. and many countries are also using the expedited registration mechanism.

nevertheless, phase 3 of the clinical trials for an american vaccine concluded yesterday, the expedited, the 3rd phase. but in expect a, the registration of the vaccine. it will happen in a few days. so there is really no difference. it's basically the same. do understand how effective the vaccine is. does the crime have this understanding? do you believe in what you were told? 1st of all the kremlin can't be the judge of the vaccines effectiveness. so you believe what the experts tell you right? yes, we absolutely trust russian virally, just experts at the gamma layer research institute, who have published the results of their studies just recently, 94 percent, effective 92 percent is a many to yes, 92 percent, which is 2 percent more factor than pfizer's vaccine. that's possible, of course, but they claim 90 percent effectiveness. it's quite likely. yes. about $40000.00 people have taken part in the vaccine trials. howard for many there was no blind choice, the placebo, or the vaccine, which is the usual way of administrating vaccines that are tested. they simply get the vaccine shots, and the game alliances are acknowledged 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 it's 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. so these trials are included in the vaccine studies results, right? of course, why is the president not 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 and what about the 3rd vaccine for the 3rd vaccine. but when he himself decides to get vaccinated, he will inform us ok. yesterday moscow saw 6500 new cases and

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 know the day before yesterday we had 6000. no, i'm pretty sure. well we had this figure at some point, but not yesterday and not the day before yesterday. i want to argue with you. i can look up the figures in the emergency response teams records right now. 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 lockdown for now? we have the statements by surrogates to b.n. and, and president putin who both said that the mobilization level of russia's health care system. even given the current setbacks we have already discussed today. the level of mobilization allows us to implement restrictive measures designed to bring down the number of infections in a way that won't kill the economy. and at the same time, these measures can be readjusted to specific regions of the country. because back

in the spring, 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 n.t.p. . 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 in biology 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 in 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 into take decisions based on this knowledge. i'm sure that surrogates have been and does the same. i just hear that i don't have an issue with mr. sabean. it's all

pretty 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 of her. 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. moscow does stand out, but one thing is obvious. everyone is doing their best to learn how to tackle the situation to work on the problems the setbacks they are facing. do we maintain any key an occasion with our foreign partners on the pandemic response? does the kremlin or the international community have any idea when this whole thing 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. this topic is on the agenda every time and speaks to any of his foreign partners. because kovi 1000 is a problem that we all share. for some countries, it's even more urgent than for us. we closely cooperate internationally in terms of exchanging information. also, we cooperate on the issue of our vaccine. we are promoting it to other markets. we are currently discussing possible production of the 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. yesterday, vladimir putin said the vaccine should be available to everyone. absolutely. that's why we are engaged in ongoing discussions on that matter. you also asked when this

pandemic could end? 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 herd 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 and make the vaccination widely available . so when we plan to start mass production and when we expect the largest sweeping vaccination campaign, sweeping vaccination is out of the question. it's all strictly voluntary. we reiterated that many times vaccination will only be done on a voluntary basis. we are 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. how we have some untapped resources the russian pharmaceutical industry has made 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 draw my attention to the fact that cover 19 more delhi rate and russia's lower than in the us. 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? whish 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 there. oh, i see. and in russia everyone follows the rules. yes, people are more disciplined in russia in this regard. and that's where mentality raise lower. no, i wouldn't put it this way. it's too simplistic. but in general,

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? 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 in the case of a pandemic, russian health care is doing better is delivering health care services or rather care, more effectively. 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 i'm afraid that the tone of my conversation with mr. rasco will be very different. anyway, thank you. but you also bloodthirsty. yes, i am. thank you, mr. biscoe for this interview. thank you.

there was no soup for you to push sleeves pushed your truth into the club or was your sure to keep the idea on board a contingent, commercially made vegetable would have been murdered by hugo. that when you discuss all of this going to just about because those told me again, we will see in the movie confused with you. it seems the more senior most of us. but i is the most severe. some of it is then yes, news coming off. the news, the of the 20th century was thing in or of revolution. the great depression and world wars, the 21st century of mental illness. those aren't my words. that's what surfaced some psychiatry to tell us. the only question is, should we accept it as a fact? yes or no.

all these big guns are really taking a position against the u.s. dollar standoff and you've got also, the dollar is heavy into gold. thanks. dollar is going to be bad situation going forward. he has not yet jumped into the big point both, but i predict you will very soon. you've got warren buffett. he doesn't like big point, but he is putting a lot of money in japan to get out of the dollar. and he's having to go. so all of the titanic, you know, movers and shakers of the global financial world are going away from the dollar. what does the election results to date? tell us about the state of american politics? there was no blue wave. instead, it was a red. instead of calls for reconciliation,

there are those looking to punish supporters. one step forward 2 steps for was going to be in your view president putin is saying the fighting has stopped in the disputed, not going to come about regions where russian peacekeepers are now enforcing a ceasefire between armenia and azerbaijan. we hear from refugees who fled the conflict. i didn't want to leave my home, but another siren. my daughter said mom, they're coming for the sake of my children. i left the news pfizer's a new cold vaccine could soon be ready for release, has got rich countries scrambling to get their hands on the japanese.
