russian president vladimir putin has been silent on joe biden's win so far. it's worth noting that he congratulated president trump just hours after his win back in 2016. and russian state tv is amplifying mr. trump's unfounded claims of election fraud. meanwhile, south african president has offered his congratulations and says he's looking forward to working with the new administration. and south korea's leaders are closely watching after seeing president trump take a different approach to handling north korea but say they don't expect the biden administration to revert back to the obama era policy of strategic patience. so, let's bring in our team from around the world, frederik pleitgen is in berlin, doug mckinsey is in johan necessaryburg and paula hancocks joins us from seoul. no surprise russian state media is repeating claims of voter fraud and president putin is remaining silent. what is the latest on all this. >> you're absolutely right. for the past several days russian state kremlin controlled state media has been amplifying the false claims presid

enormous national security risk in and of itself leaving aside who his creditors are, because vladimir putin knows, because he runs an efficient intelligence service, a good deal about trump's finances, and the knowledge is in itself compromising information. so when we ask ourselves why trump kowtowed to putin, we have several theories which i explore in "the folly and the glory." one, he's a useful idiot and he does putin's bidding because he doesn't really know what he is doing. two, he is an agent of influence, which is personally the theory i subscribe to. putin flattered him on the campaign trail and offered him political support including but not limited to covert political support. putin gains influence over trump and trump exchanges his influence in return for everything with trump is transactional in one way, shape, or form. and then there's money, and that's pretty much it's always about the money with trump. if trump is out of office he loses the invisibility cloak of presidential power, and i think we will come to find out the answer as to why he kisses putin's a ring, and is no

russian president vladimir putin says the bloodshed between armenia and azerbaijan could have been halted weeks ago before the conflict in the government or a box had reached the breaking point. i managed to convince president aliyev that it was possible to stop the hostilities. but he simply khatri condition was the return of refugees, including to sue, show, then unexpectedly for me, the position of romanian pawn. this was formulated in such a way that it was on the acceptable for them any time of the day, anywhere in the world broadcasting live from moscow, it's r t international. i'm down on quarter with you here in the studio. welcome to the program. we begin with the french capital, where crowds have gathered in paris to push back against a draft law designed to protect the identities of police officers. r t. charlotte dubinsky has been in the center of the action. well, it's turning into an unwieldy night here in paris as the assembly, the national assembly debates that global security law that draw law, that includes an element that could criminalize the publishing of images of of

israel israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been in talks with vladimir putin over the past over the purchase of the sputnik the shot. our correspondent paula slayer reports short time ago israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu held a telephone conversation with the russian president vladimir putin, about purchasing an option on the vaccine. he said that the 2 leaders will speak in greater detail about it in the coming days. if the shock and awe, so i spoke on the phone with russian president vladimir putin, about the prospects of purchasing the sputnik vaccine out of these. we will discuss this in the coming days. sputnik. these clinical trials are currently half way through phases 3 and there have been no major problems reported in terms of the formula. what we do know is that about half of the 40000 volunteers who are involved in the research have already received the injection. there's been no reports of major ill health and we have heard from the producers that night. it stands at a 92 percent. if i can see about 30 countries have a waiting, ordered the vaccine that'

president-elect, russian president vladimir putin. frederik pleitgen joins us live. russian state media is repeating the unfounded claims and president putin remains silent at this time. what is the latest on this? >> you're absolutely right, rosemary. the kremlin remains mute on the subject, so far hasn't said anything. we are still waiting for a possible call by the kremlin spokesperson. we'll see whether there's any update as to why exactly the kremlin hasn't said anything yet. russian state media amplifying the false claims that president trump has been making, trying to call the u.s. election illegitimate, especially the mail-in ballots. of course for domestic consumption in russian, essentially the russians saying the u.s. keeps lecturing us and the democratic shortcomings in russia and look is the what the election is like in the united states. it's what the kremlin propagandists have been feasting on. as far as the russian president himself is concerned, it's quite being because it seems as though president vladimir putin favored president trump to have anothe

but president vladimir putin, russian president vladimir putin said that he would only intervene if armenia proper was attacked. when it comes to the peacekeepers, we saw them in step on a carrot. we also saw them at a monastery in the call, but charges one of the districts now being handed over and people really feel very positive about them. they were going up to them taking selfies with them. they even are giving them kind of gifts of país and chocolates and all that. they really feel that they're protecting the region and the sense of betrayal that they felt towards russia initially has now certainly been passed on to the prime minister here. yeah, you mentioned him and i want to get to him next. what about the, i mean he's come under immense domestic pressure since the deal was signed. absolutely. there's been ongoing protests calling for him to resign for days now. here in caravan, you might be able to see the police presence behind me at the government building on this square because there have just been protests here with protesters blocking roads here in the center of the city, cal

to go ahead to the scenes, the russian president vladimir putin says the bloodshed between amin and the form of a conflict in what i care about. i managed to convey the hostilities, but his obligatory condition was the return of refugees, including to show then unexpectedly for me the position of romanian paul that's been straight hours has ample tear gas. one person told me that they were being forced down into the metro, which is just behind me, where you might be able to see that there are huge number of police officers around . it is a building course inside that the tear gas being left off inside there and that they were being forced down to be is fixated well, of course we go down into the metro. but there is the scenes as they've been described by some of the protesters to no, i've seen women having their hey, yeah. and being used to be grabbed by the head to be thrown to the floor by police officers on the floor. you are then shot them. how would that one medics being hit by police patton's? and in fact, as we were just at the metro station filming some of the violence against t

vladimir putin's russia remains one of the biggest stories in the world. it sends out hit squads on with nerve agents against its enemies. most recently, the opposition leader alex, in nevada, only. it has its cyber agents, so chaos and disharmony in the west to tarnish its democratic systems while promoting its phone version of democracy. it is deployed private military contractors around the globe to secretly spread its influence at home, its hospitals are filling up fast with coated patients as its president hides out in his villa. i mean, add some dramatic music. do a call video, add it pepper the whole thing with a few explosions here and there, and you've cooked up a trailer for the next hit limited series on netflix. but no, it's not that not by a long shot. it's actually the opening of a job advert for a russian reporter with the new york times. page searches for unbiased to impartial or balance. come a blank, no results found in the text. not that it's much of a secret though, that the new york times isn't that interested in covering a happy russi

just think about how pleased vladimir putin is with emily murphy tonight. here is president obama's former national security advisor susan rice earlier today on msnbc with andrea mitchell. >> this is the most irresponsible leadership during a transition that i think any of us have seen in our lifetimes, if not in the history of the republic. >> why do you have the president of the united states daily, constantly, discrediting the election. pouring doubt on the results, false doubt. that misinforms a huge segment of the population. but it makes us a laughing stock around the world and it does great damage. >> joining us is the author of t the nooimz best seller. thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> well, i have been tracking the work of that office for some time. by the fact that more recently in a high profile way that it is straight and just goes by the fact. i have been tracking it and wondering when the hammer was going to come down. because when you have an agency that operates in those ways it hasn't gone down well whether it comes to the env

i don't see any reason why it would be. >> vladimir putin, this former kgb agent, for the president to take his word like that, was so stunning. >> why does he seem to like putin despite the fact putin is perhaps the primary enemy of the united states? >> i think the president repeatedly confuses having good personal relationships with foreign leaders, with having good overall bilateral relationships between the two countries. >> trump's public allegiance to president putin, according to former national security advisor john bolton, has led the president to resist intelligence warnings about russia. >> what it was it like briefing him? >> it was clear he wasn't reading much of the material he was being sent. so i tried to be opportunistic in finding circumstances where i could convey information i felt that he needed, but i don't think that proved very successful. >> i've been in briefings many times when the president is being briefed on everything from domestic issues to national security issues to foreign policy issues. he's a listener. people miss how patient he is. i think that co

so i spoke on the phone with russian president vladimir putin, about the prospects of purchasing the sputnik vaccine. and of this, we will discuss this in the coming days. sputnik things, clinical trials are currently half way through phases 3 and there have been no major problems reported in terms of the formula. what we do know is that about half of the 40000 volunteers who are involved in the research have already received the injection. there's been no reports of major ill health and we have heard from the producers that night. it stands at a 92 percent. if it has seen about 30 countries have a waiting, ordered the vaccine that's according to the producers. one of the countries israel, one of the needing hospitals here, some medical clinic in jerusalem has ordered one and a half 1000000 doses. now, earlier i caught up with the director general of the hospital who told us this russian books in the safe in the city and in the high frequency rate. we do for one in boxing, over the ward is very dense in many countries, and russian is only one of the books that russian troops to come

and nothing seemed to hold until the 10th of november when russian president vladimir putin help mediate this latest ceasefire, which was signed by the president of us here by john the prime minister of armenia and which is held there is however, an enormous amount of work to be done, there is an enormous amount of uncertainty about the, the 10s of thousands of refugees that have been displaced from their homes, from their villages over the course of this conflict. uncertainty about their future, where they'll return to if, if they'll return to their homes. a tool with there's also a huge amount of problems with the humanitarian situation in the go in the car bomb, there is a lack of the basic medicine there is lack of services. heating in very cold temperatures. will boost of this is now the priority. stablish in livable conditions of making sure sure people have some way to or should there's still no official winner in the u.s. presidential election, but the fallout from the vote has spurred new talking points. one has been identity politics, backfiring for candidates as both joe biden

trump distorts american foreign policy in the kremlin's favor and cartels to vladimir putin and that is no secret but the question is why. with that eight from moscow in the thirties donald trump is an agent of influence and it is no secret and it is the putin propaganda but the question is why. and that is the great intelligence question of the 21t century has never been addressed or investigated. the fbi started the investigation and it vanished into thin air it is possible going on in the greatest secrecy as we speak but i doubt it. and with that you u.s. postal service sack. speaking it from your old employer the last couple of days about the president's tax returns. and the question of these $421 million in debt the president has coming to over the next four years and without any sense of who owns the people who owns the people who. >> i wrote a piece for wired and then two years ago looking at the questions if it was effectively a massive money-laundering scheme for russian wealth. >> i think you're onto something. and i have no knowledge of tax returns over the last couple of d

just, just think about how pleased vladimir putin is with emily murphy tonight. here is president obama's former national security adviser susan rice earlier today on msnbc with andrea mitchell. >> this is the most irresponsible leadership during a transition that i think any of us have seen in our lifetimes, if not in the history of the republic. when you have the president of the united states daily, constantly discrediting the election, pouring doubt on the results, false doubt, false doubt, that not only misinforms a huge segment of our population and corrodes trust in our democracy and our institutions themselves, but makes us a laughingstock around the world and does great damage to the democratic model, which is why i'm quite sure that vladimir putin is doing a happy dance in moscow as we speak. >> leading off our discussion tonight is samantha power, president obama's former ambassador to the united nations. she is the author of "the new york times" best-seller" the education of an idealist." one of the most beautifully written memoirs of anyone who has s

actually goes back decades even though this latest fighting just bubble up over the last few weeks vladimir putin says that this deal forms the basis of a long term solution and why so sure about this. well i think putin has got nor choice but to praise this peace deal signed last night especially now that turkey seems to have the situation under control militarily as well as politically but we have to keep in mind and we have to wait and see whether the both parties in this conflict armenia and azerbaijan stick to their agreement and above all how the political situation in armenia develops there is a lot of disappointment resignation and anger there and not only out of the azerbaijanis but above all at their own armenian government which signs of the peace deal last night the question is also how long the cold passion young the prime minister of armenia can hold onto power if question yawn as prime minister also surrenders and resigns all peace deals will be wasted again during rush hour so in moscow thank you so much. a long time palestinian chief negotiator saeb erekat has died of cover at 19

last monday, vladimir putin said putin said that all 3 sides were very careful and very cautious about details and paid attention to every war. than every, basically cold war and it was worth it because that was how the bloodshed was stopped. some of the most important thing that's been done is to stop the bloodshed of a 4000 people who died according to official data to show in reality. i think there are tens of thousands have been injured and maimed, and this is not a movie. this is a tragedy that is taking place in real life with real people affecting real families. you know, therefore, stopping the bloodshed is the key thing. and margaret wouldn't also stress that it would be suicide to try to violate the agreement because it is there to bring peace and it should be respected or the police as a peace deal is on 6 weeks. go now either way, a huge sigh of relief for everyone that it has now been reached. that was refreshing. joining me in the studio, let's turn our attention to the french capital, where crowds have gathered in paris to push it gave a draft law designed to protect the

and the president vladimir putin says russia is registering its 3rd vaccine against the coronavirus and insists all of them are effective. the scientific community doesn't agree and believes starting mass in occupations is risky. the cameras are waiting. they've been promised a celebrity who's ready to be filmed, being given the russian vaccine. sputnik 5 enter, blogger and bodybuilder, alexander spock. the eccentric social media star takes one last selfie before he's injected with a dose of the still unproven vaccine. and you can hear no one had to talk me into doing it. it's always good to be the 1st at something. i always have the negative view of vaccinations, but this is different for the doctors will keep an eye on alexander for the next 6 months to observe the effects of sputnik 5 russian bloggers enthusiastic to be part of the program. and like so many other people, he just wants life to get back to how it was. even on a ship or just normally i travel a lot. i want to work normally to move around. normally. i don't like the masks. now i can get all the medical treatments and be

how do you do that with leaders like vladimir putin and ping and kim jong-un who have been extraordinarily aggressive and manipulative in information warfare improving military capabilities? again, it is easier to write things in academia and write things from a think tank perspective and what the united states should do. announcer: we leave the last few minutes of this but you can find it online at c-span.org. we take you live to the white house for a thanksgiving tradition getting underway. president trump and first lady melania trump getting ready to pardon two turkeys named corn and cob. ♪ >> ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states trump.semrs.

thanks to vladimir putin's efforts, they signed a joint statement and ended the hostilities stop the bloodshed. could you please elaborate on president putin's role in this agreement? how did he facilitate the trouble or just sit in or he played a critical role on the go all the signing of that agreement was preceded by many days of tireless work. sometimes almost around the clock. it was president putin who did that. he was on the phone playing with times, making numerous schools and passion. am again, he's been doing that for days. what was turkey's role? i think that's a good question for you, since you're an expert on turkey. you know, turkey has been consistently supporting the military operations in the area and a forceful resolution to the nagorno-karabakh conflict. we had a very different position on that is usually continues to be like that. however, that didn't preclude us from closely cooperating on all levels with them, including the level of president's. i think you are aware that putin and heard again, maintain continuous dialogue, even they, russia and turkey have that

president vladimir putin is eager to be the man who presents the world with an effective vaccine that would come with guaranteed prestige. and of course profit. in mid october, he made another announcement that the novosibirsk based vector center has registered a 2nd russian corona virus vaccine, epi vaca rhona. it without doubt. it's an important success that you, dear friends, have achieved with spiritual issued in. meanwhile, alexander spock waits to hear whether sputnik 5 has provided him with antibodies or, not, joins us from the f.a., the association of research based pharmaceutical companies. all of these vaccines or many of the now are sounding more and more promising. so when final testing is over, when or how does production go ahead? well, the production has already started. most companies have produced components of the packs and already at least one company house also reported that they have at least one better, ready for delivery. and with the components the other companies will be able to have finished product soon as soon as i have an approval, well ready for delivery.

that the country has approved —— vaccines in last—stage human trials, russia vladimir putin announced coronavirus vaccine from the gamaleya research institute. the drug has not been tested in large numbers — and not by the most rigorous of methods. i'm joined now by dr peter hotez, a vaccine specialist and and dean of the national school of tropical medicine at baylor college of medicin in texas. that is certainly the hope, because clearly we are having a lot of trouble enforcing social distancing of masks in some countries, we have not had that culture because of an absence of federal leadership. so that requires you to become more dependent on biotechnology solutions like vaccines. i think we're going to have a pretty robust ecosystem. all of these vaccines pretty much work these vaccines pretty much work the same way including ours. we are not scaling up production of our covid vaccine in india, bioe in hyderabad, and we can do this because in some ways it's an old school problem in virology, all about using a strong immune response to the spiked protein of the virus, meaning the v

the most important announcement on that agreement that was made came from the russian president vladimir putin who spoke late in the night and this is what we heard from the russian leader. he would you do me and your bridge and president obama leave or me as prime minister nicolle pressure now and russia have signed the declaration announcing the cease fire and stopping combat nagorno-karabakh conflict zone what we're hearing from from the president was or by john sounds much more positive if you compare it to the armenian reaction reaction which we'll hear about later. if the president is calling this agreement historic and he also makes it clear that from the air by johnny viewpoint they see this as somewhat of a victory and they're saying that 2 districts of the gorn a par are going to be somehow given to us here by john as a result of this deal so this is what exactly this what exactly was said by the. leader. i would like to see that done very very we've sealed the deal to 60 years long conflict between our media and. the occupation. now just for you to understand the contrast when it co

israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has spoken via telephone with the russian president vladimir putin, about purchasing an option on the vaccine. he said that the 2 leaders will speak about this in greater detail in the coming days. sputnik, these clinical trials are about halfway through phase 3. there have been no major side effects or problems reported about the whole formula. about 40000 volunteers are involved in the research about half of them have received the injection. and again, no major ill health reported we are hearing from producers that the vaccine has a 92 percent. if it can see, they are about 30 countries around the world that have already ordered the russian vaccine, one of them as role be leaving hospital here. at just a medical clinic has ordered one and a half 1000000 doses and russia. they have been almost 2000000 coronavirus cases since the spring. moscow has the highest number of victims. there are public. in eastern russia has become the 1st to impose another lockdown, closing restaurants, shopping centers, and places of mass gathering for 2 weeks. we spoke w

steal the fact that it was hammered out by the leaders so the mediator was russia's president vladimir putin and also the parties to the negotiations were the armenian prime minister nicola and the president aliyev now i can tell you that the cease fire agreement is already in place it's taken effect at midnight moscow time and let me just go through some of the key points of that truce deal so according to the dream and the militaries of both armenia and azerbaijan must observe their positions must stay in the positions that they are currently taking now something that is absolutely vital and crucial in this case is the introduction of a russian peacekeeping mission not something that had long been talked about but never been announced officially now is the time there will definitely be a russian peacekeeping mission that is supposed to comprise of almost 2000 russian troops and also $380.00 units of military hardware that announcement came from the russian ministry of defense besides this key transport hubs injunctions must be on blog which is supposed to allow free movement of refugees an

vladimir putin called his relationships at an all-time low.time russia is standing aside and they are not saying neither trump nor biden, they are saying that actually, politics towards russia is not going to change, whoever sits in the oval office. what they are saying, and this also reflects in the polls, is that it doesn't matter what happens in the united states, that if there is any bipartisan in the united states, it is in this consensus of being anti-russian. these things come because during the trump presidency, what russia sees as donald trump and his administration did not do anything to make these relations better. he did impose sanctions, he also imposed sanctions on a very important project for russia, that is the pipeline. he expelled the russian diplomats. the hope that this might get better, there are none this time compared to four years ago. host: does russia really have the luxury of standing aside if joe biden win the election? it is likely that russian interference in the previous election will come back up. there will be

we're going to pull husted, it seems the russian president vladimir putin says the bloodshed between all media . john could have been halted weeks ago, but full of the conflict didn't want to care about could reach breaking point. i managed to convince president live that it was possible to stop the hostilities. but his obligatory condition was the return of refugees, including to sue show. then unexpectedly, for me, the position of romanian partners was formulated in such a way that it was on the acceptable food commission for peace. we, for the russian forces as they had to uphold a cease fire between armenia and azerbaijan. this is something of a surreal experience. because you see russian peacekeepers got together with is it about drug troops? very close together and just behind the troops. these are new territories. inside the french national assembly, a controversial bill is up for debate on images that could identify police and be used for militias. papa says outside paris tod's to tell thousands, again, the new trial for the u.s. announces it will withdraw thousands of troops

and then, of course, we have to worry about vladimir putin's russia. right.u believe donald trump had a coherent strategic vision. now, you've alighted on two policy challenges for the united states — china and russia, where, frankly, at different times, mr trump's message has been all over the shop. yes, he's been very confrontational with china on trade. 00:10:57,672 --> 2147483051:42:13,551 at the same time, according 2147483051:42:13,551 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 to john bolton, your successor, he's offered little deals to china. he said he'd go easy on their repressive policy toward the uighurs if china would give him a sweetener on trade for american farmers. on russia, we know that donald trump for years refused to make any sort of personal condemnation of vladimir putin. nobody could figure out why. so i come back to this question. you work closely with him. was there any sort of coherent strategic vision behind trump's instinctive, gut policies? i think there was at the outset, stephen, but i think the biggest problem in the trump administration forei

interesting, becausejoe officially from vladimir putin.le world is watching tonight, but of course it a lwa ys tonight, but of course it always is when there is a us presidential election, and it will be interesting to see now howjoe biden tries to reset those international relationships, donald trump very much america first, and joe biden, inevitably going for a different tactic in his international relations. essentially, looking at it on paper, joe biden is more of a fan of the old style of us foreign policy, the multilateral institutions, the world health organization, united nations, working in partnership with other countries whereas donald trump is very much more a transactional basis, one—on—one with other countries, so that is the direction we imaginejoe biden will take the us, and it will be one of repair and rejoin, rejoin the world health organization, rejoin the iran nuclear deal, and then repairing relations with countries like germany, canada and france. that is why we have heard so many of those countries that you just ment

of november when the latest ceasefire deal, the current cease fire deal mediated by president vladimir putin signed by the president of us here by john the prime minister of the media until that peace, peace deal managed to take hold. it is still being implemented, there's still a lot of confusion, many territories that have to be handed over peacefully. there's also confusion about historic sites, about churches. we've already seen a centuries old cathedral, for example, graffiti that is the reason concern of a vandalism in a film called between vladimir putin, the president of the budge on the is it about john, the leader, the leader said the church is an historic sites will be protected by the it's headed by johnny government and open to worshippers of from, from, from all sides. nevertheless, there is a lot of concern among the, i mean, i mean, and especially the refugees that are leaving that it choosing to burn their homes that their businesses, that they've built up for many years. rather than see them fall into the hands of johnnie's right to thank you for bringing us that report. we
