over february's presidential election results as well as the corona virus outbreak let's talk to scott smith from the u.s. institute of peace he's been involved in attempts to bring peace to afghanistan for many years he's joining us from new york thanks very much for your time with us on al-jazeera and we'll get into the u.s. a stake in all of this in a moment but 1st in your opinion how willing are both sides to compromise the afghan government as well as the taliban. well from what i heard. speaking to people in doha who are part of this opening ceremony to the mood it has been very positive and i think it's one of the risks that both parties took which they did not want any sort of mediation in one 3rd party in the room which could have been risky if things began to break down but in fact the meeting was very cordial both in the meeting itself and afterwards and that is a good sign that there is a willingness to compromise what we don't know very much of what the actual taliban positions are on a lot of issues and we also know that the afghan government is very determined to maintain the

strength and some analysts believe it controls all contests about 2 thirds of afghan territory well scott smith from the u.s. institute of peace has been involved in attempts to bring peace to afghanistan for many years now and he believes the taliban might be more ready to compromise than many people might think. we've all asked the question are the taliban going to compromise why they have the momentum and the answer is we will know and so they what happens this week actually happens until they actually sit down and begin to talk with the government one of the things that i've heard from some. formerly taliban is that they may have the momentum but they also understand they will not will win this war and the worse painful for them is cause a lot of deaths and what they really want if they can get it on terms that are acceptable to them is a chance to return to their country and sort of live more or less in a land that they recognize so you know that question remains to be seen but a lot of us who have been working on this issue for a long time have thought that but let the supposition that th

smith for all the just i'd cambridge university. so we'll have a lot of questions about immunity and scott want to know how many people have a complete immunity to disease so the complete easy don't know we don't know what community mean at the community does exist and to say it does exist i'm quite certain that this where how complete it is how long it lasts i don't know and we do know that the current a virus does mount a significant immune response your body just defend itself and it does that in a couple of ways it makes these chemicals good antibodies which are proteins that jumps to the vowel sound and help your body attack that cell so if you want my guess my guess is that you do get some degree of affected immunity but quite at what level of antibodies you need and how long you see last i don't know the christmas j.t. us just the direct question that has been alluded to after contracting covered 19 are we have mutant of the seas lots of people want to go that's of that question if you get it once can we get again you alluded to that earlier but you also said this disease could be endemic in the population what do you mean by

on the bull side, scott martin, kingsview asset management. we have gary b. smith. slightly more bearish, kadena group president, much, much more. gary end with you, beginning with you. you're cautious, right with concern? >> neil, i'm always the villain in these. i want to know why how that is. neil: you're a -- >> i, i'm an evil villain. i suppose. look, you just look at some of these nut at this valuations. what's the p-e on tesla? it is 1100? apple, my gosh, you have to talk about it every day i suppose, more than doubled since the march lows. i mean these kind of gains neil, are just unsustainable. the rhetoric i'm hearing it sounds like 2000 all over again people saying yeah, i understand the market is up, i understand the valuations are crazy but it's different this time. just, neil, yeah, i mean, at best i am cautious right now. neil: scott, look at tesla, amazon, they're making money but back in 2000 when we had the sort of implosion going on before everything just hit the fan there were a lot of companies that were riding forward with no earnings, no prosp

also, there's going to be brad smith will be there, deputy assistant to the president for domestic policy along with dr. scott atlas, adviser to the president and vice president. i was looking at a piece in the "journal" this morning and goes along with the vaccine story, not necessarily the testing story, that the fda has been very clear in giving guidance to these drug makers, all the ones you just mentioned who are in the phase 3 trials, a lot of them, to get this vaccine to market. the "journal's" opinion says the president should take credit for the vaccine progress, but shouldn't rush it, because there has been a lot of concern now really among investors that some of this vaccine, these trials are being rushed. i thought that was an interesting kind of take from the "wall street journal" that the fda is fully involved in getting these vaccines to market safely. reporter: that was the point of the ceo from astra-zeneca who said look, we are being safe, we paused our trial because there was one issue. we want to have an independent body look at it, then go forward related to that. they have made that case
