But this wire will never disappear from our population. It is another virus which we need to live with. The u. S. Senate passes and i could see a future fines or even jail for those involved in sports. But the World Antidoping Agency does warn it excludes american sport while allowing International Prosecutions to get even youre watching r t international. Now, it is a sight that was hard to imagine just a few days ago. I mean, you know, and as troops cooperating in the disputed nagornokarabakh region, it comes as russian peacekeepers arrive in the area to uphold a cease fire. Between the 2 sides. Reopen the only road linking the 2 armenia sent this report where its a russian peacekeepers observation. Post the monitoring station just outside of the now is it about johnny held. d city, this is something of a surreal experience because we see behind us russian peacekeepers standing together with john the troops very close together and just behind them. These are neutral territories. These are areas to which is their budget and food as well as troops come to resolve their misunderstandings or disputes outstanding problems that may come up. So now ultimately, everything is on the control. If any questions emerge, commanders from both sides and from our side as well, settle issues. We have full mutual understanding. There is no problem working together. The day has also witnessed the opening of the corridor, the only route for the foreseeable future, that link nina to the pro armenian, whats left of the breakaway region of the gold in the weve seen a convoy, head out for manini and the escort. d of russian peacekeepers towards step on i kept the capital in the speech security of the area is maintained by the observation posts longer lashon corydoras and by military police as well from other missions. Simple, we must ensure the safe transportation of civilians and money to the cease fires with the end of hostilities. The most outstanding problem now is the issue out of the area concerns the issue of the return of tens of thousands of refugees whove been forced to flee their homes. That out of their villages because of the conflict because of the sheer brutality of this conflict and the now is getting them back. And this is something that the latrines because will help with its a safe route for all these refugees to return to their homes. Theres a lot of humanitarian Organization Presence here. The red cross, for example, which is overseeing demining operations, the exchange of prisoners, the exchange of the remains of fallen troops. And as were coordinating the return and help for all the 10s of thousands of refugees that are on the copper issue with both sides has been successful established. We have a productive partnership. Everybody understands that we must bring peace to this long suffering land to do so. With the recent events here, people react differently, some happy, some are neutral and civilians of course gave us a warm welcome to think that the war here is over again side then imagine unimaginable. Just a few weeks ago. It was their budget and the military vehicle making its way into territory, held by pro Armenian Forces to negotiate, to resolve disputes with the armenian side through russian peacekeeper mediation, or the head of the red cross. International committee has already expressed gratitude to the peacekeepers, and we also got reaction to on the streets of the armenian capital. Yet over course, his goodness, peace, the building roads providing security. This is excellent and welcome. The fact that peace makers are in carrabelle, it is better and them losing it all together. The only the help comes the better even better if it had come before we suffered its losses. And armenians and russians are brotherly people. The role of the russian peacekeepers here is especially important or to remind you then under the peace deal both sides will hold on to their current military positions and that gives armenia control of the disputed regions. Capitals to panic at as big john gets the 2nd largest city, which it took just before the fighting ended. Armenia will also have to hand over 3 of the districts in the region fired, a center of deputy minister of the as a Big Committee for refugees told us it will take a lot to rebuild the area. But he did say too, that despite the war, his people can live alongside armenians. Everything is the territories which are under occupation has been destroyed, literally speaking, raised as a ground and 1st scene to do will be to assess the damage which was caused as a major, an economy and civilian ation. After peace deal brokered by consideration how armenia is our leading edge at this for instance, theyre destroying everything as a right janice, have no problem in living side by side was or mean as you know was this takes place in Russian Federation in georgia in ukraine and as a part of the world, if are me inside at will abate, will comply with is also commitments which have been adopted was, is a friend of dr. Park to take agreement will ensure the safety and security of our 1000000 community. Thieves able wish to leave is this far as citizens of azerbaijan, complying with National Legislation of the republic of what we have from our column, and the director of the Crisis Research institute in oxford. In the u. K. , he believes the mediation of the russian peacekeepers could be crucial in stabilizing the region. I think the likelihood is, in fact, this will be a basic piece of the territories will be exchanged and we will come to accept it. And in a sense, the problem before was that we sent the armenians there is facing each other without a mediator on the ground and air, and to war or cease fire on the ground. And now russia has sent in peace. Whos this means that there is a 3rd party that both sides are good relations with. And so i think it should be the basis of a stable future. Theres always the risk of some foolish or reckless act or somebody pulls against it wrong. But i think that in the pair of a question with a jewish neutral umpires, or media to the success of the 12th break summit held her cheek. This time among the leaders of emerging economic powers has been focusing on how to confront the challenges posed by the corona virus pandemic. Well, heres what russian president Vladimir Putin had to say about it. I would like to emphasize that russia, along with india and brazil have secured agreements on the sputnik 3 vaccines Clinical Trials. Also, russias agreed with india and china to open Production Centers for the vaccine on their respective territories. Not only to meet the demand of our countries, but also other states. I think its very important that we have russian vaccines in place. They work there effective and secure. The question is how to provide mass production. I would not say its a problem, but its an issue we have to solve it. In that respect, its crucial to join efforts in securing massively in circulation. By the way, a 2nd on the Coronavirus Vaccine called epic back corona has now been registered in russia. A 3rd is also on the way were ready to engage with the brics countries in their production and implementation. Meanwhile, israels Prime Minister has already held talks with reading the page and on buying russias 1st registered code with vaccines. But with more on this, his poorest of the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin 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, and 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, address a Medical Clinic has ordered one and a half 1000000 doses. Well, in russia itself, there have been almost 2000000 coronavirus cases since the spring and moscow has the highest number of victims. Meanwhile, the republic of here in eastern russia has become the 1st to impose another lockdown, closing restaurants, shopping centers, and places of Mass Gatherings for 2 weeks. We spoke with some of the countrys top role exists on the development of the vaccine. And when it could have an impact on the pandemic stock markets and the media of we, there are now 100 vaccines in the world. Yours. The institute was the 1st which to quilt it had developed one, but this is very important. Vaccine was still unfinished. It was in the 3rd phase of testing, yet the president said that we have the vaccine. How come you . Not the political, it doesnt, you know, it is politics, not science. I can just comment about the scientific part. We had the opportunity for Quicker Development that you take the virus out of a cell culture and clean it. And when you inject a person with it, the virus wont multiply. And you say that long term immunity is formed. How long and how strong the immunity is, is still the subject of study . It is still a question. Yes, it is still in question. But antibodies develop t. Cell immunity develops, and we can be sure that a person after vaccination will be safe for some time. At least for half a year ago, its the beautiful when will such a large scale global epidemic . And the because all through what im saying february, when 70 percent of the population will have gotten this infection. But this virus will never disappear from our population. It is another virus which we need to live with. We are dealing with a virus that adapts to humans due to its evolutionary orientation. How long will it take it to adjust by orientation . I mean, the fact that it always infects the upper respiratory tract but doesnt necessarily infect the lungs and other organs. Do we know that for sure, you know, you can consider it a hypothesis over time, it will more affect the upper respiratory tract and go less inside of your body. Thats why the virus will lose its lethality, it will spread, and in fact, well, but stop killing. How many years will it take before it stops killing people over 65, the overweight people with diabetes and people with cardiovascular diseases. About 2 or 3 years will its a duck to us in 2 or 3 years, but i dont agree here. I do think that the will change over time, but there will be more people with immunity plus vaccinations. They will work too. Of course the incidence will decrease, but i dont think the severe morbidity will, and the issue is not with the virus, but with the human body itself, you need to understand the gruen. A virus does not kill you. It finishes you now the World Antidoping Agency has raised a red flag over us bill that could see those involved in sport doping hit with massive fines or even jail time wider though its described as a power grab by american authorities which could allow the United States to create liability outside of its jurisdiction. Earlier, i discussed those concerns over the socalled chain called anti doping act with r. T. Sport correspondent alexy airships. Well, the biggest concern is that this new act which is called the russian named after a russian whistleblower, basically applies to international culprits, but not the domestic ones in the u. S. Now theyre watching entails up to a 1000000 dollar fine or even 10 years in prison for not the athletes themselves, but the entourage of an athlete, or even the government which is accused or suspected of adopting scheme. But the original draft of that bill included us professional sports and us college sports, but by the time it reached the senate, miraculously this part of the bill disappeared somewhere. So now basically it excludes all the majority of us professional sport. Now this is one of the things that the World Antidoping Agency expressed their concerns about. Among other things, including, you know, how come the u. S. Is trying to make itself into the world. Antidoping police. Lets have a listen. Well, along with a number of governments and sports arenas, issues, theres legitimate concerns about the routine of act. In particular, it may lead to overlapping laws in different jurisdictions that will compromise having a single set of rules for all athletes around the world war 2. Which is also to understand why this legislation excludes vast areas of u. S. Sport in particular, the professional leagues and all college sports. If its not good enough for American Sports, why is it fine for the rest of the world . Now the main mastermind of this new bill is traver steiger, the head of the u. S. Antidoping agency, and its not the 1st time that tiger was, has been involved in some sort of rift between the usada and the World Antidoping Agency. There have been cases where the u. S. Hinted through tiger that they would even pull funding from water if it refused to play along. So basically, the only thing remaining for this bill to become law is trump signature and no one else. This will happen. Brace ourselves for more drama in this again, just to remind us to alexi why it is called the act. Now obviously this relates to go to church and gov, who exploded the world of sports in 2016 when he made explosive allegations against russia against the russian government that it was allegedly involved in some sort of doping scheme hiding in the United States. There are rumors that he even changed his appearance that he had a Plastic Surgery or Something Like that. But the funny thing is there is a job going about now that the 1st person prosecute persecuted under this new should be watching of himself. Since he claims that he was part of the state conspiracy and you know, going back, this is basically a criminal offense. Now if this bill becomes law, but obviously this is named after him. Sure. I mean, the irony there is the sports rely on whistleblowers, dont know, but my exactly will discourage them from coming forward in case they get committee prosecuted. And how is russia then reacted to this bill . There has been a reaction from russia through the kremlin spokesperson, the who called this kind of move unacceptable. I believe, to listen to the critics q. , which we are extremely critical of any attempt by the United States to extend its jurisdiction to other countries. Such cross border practice isnt acceptable. We disagree with that, and of course, this can cause nothing but concern. Its not only just on paper looks like a unilateral decision to govern the antidoping processes in the world, which is why there is certainly unhappy but you mention it right. The fact that whistleblowers will now be afraid of being persecuted. This basically hampers the whole process of whistle blowing. If this bill becomes law. Ok, we can talk about this story further now with the Sports Writer and broadcaster alan moore, who joins us good evening. Alan, what are your thoughts here . What i have described as a power grab by american authorities, is that going to no. Going to 8. I mean it is exactly a childless tiger expected, better known as paper tigers, crawleys or mafia boy use who want to take over the gravy train . Cant be no wall is not ideal. It has a lot of trying to fix it. When you have so much of the nasty. So once more you get so many networks. Still, experts knocking around all. Its very hard to get what you say for a number of years going to take over because they are sitting, seeing their older boys and girls like hard jones, like kristen coleman. Because your side are, you know, theyre not well known as force you knox in america. Fortunately, this is a major power grab you salacious it along with those you know, bits that they voted for or science or since i know i can imagine that alan, a lot of people are saying, well it isnt this good because if i started paying people they should be prosecuted, this is a further that the tyrant under for sure. I mean, you and i spoke with this, you know, on air many times before. And this is huge. You know, a couple sports almost every week weve reported at least be compared as we say like this, hes to us, what was money top class, the snap. These figures from conversations today with a number of these bodies, not boxes like these, but actually its organizations who said they were trying to one told me, i can go over the lines about things. Theyre saying, this is terrible. This is really bad because it should be for everybody or dont put into place at all. Yeah. When you say that one for everybody, we should point out again that this is for some reason excludes sports in america or American Sports. And when we say that you have to question the motives behind in 200 because the dust will dissuade the reason poison. For example, a lot of people dont understand at all. Major League Sports and the n. B. A. Ability and a shell and suitable a sports were taken out of it, is because legally use another kind of twitched. And as i said, theyre just force units in north america. They are not there lloyd, or whatsoever. They can look after and less because that is in the 6th or the music so they can look out for lead exposure. d cyclings also includes very useful suggestion like years of age where they, they have no progress whatsoever. So it goes major domonique, credible because it just gets ones where millions and billions are made on the box. All of your, you know, your beats, you know, sort of like you 2 very rich people. So thats why they see these, the native American Sports pastimes. I think excluded it is heating up american soccer example. America is involved in so many business. He or she really dont. Is there anything of what i can do . I mean, i know that the american authorities in usada have said we withdraw funding from want a dont go along with us. I mean, it seems to be the americans are in a stronger position with i think they are see they are. Thats just a key word under, you know that they think theyre in a very, very strong position. Its old. No. 2 years it was under arrest and all these, remember, the americans are needing a very merry dance of all these, i guess here, except it says the basket deplorable. But its not really fair because you see, and i dont think australia people are really, you know, if you get rid of it up from where you are all going after water line you did never spoke with today. For example, the discourse council, part of they said, oh, this is not, this is really not because this is no whats usada of all the rest of them initially. So basically when you have solutions, i think reasonable or a murderer was on the way. Should you go to justice whether its named after him . A lot of people already or less force they are very nice. And just lastly on, and i mean i can understand if america is concerned about dieting, i carry everybodys, why dont they just criminalize it within their own country as other countries have done . And if everybody did that, surely that would solve the problem to a great degree. Actually. Exactly. I mean, it is so good that like we, you know, its a problem that is so hard to solve because we all, you know, look at russia and we know we had issues with doping in russia other than they are here because you enjoy the gym and you get what you want to get stronger, bigger, more beautiful. Whatever you want to do, its impossible. Its impossible. Even criminalising, its very difficult because there will always be fall guys and girls. The only way they can to us is if theres an absolute reset and goes back serial and then introduce new criminal laws around the olympic you are talking or supplying the wrong noise. If youre doing your classes for one and dont know 2 years, looks like that. You were just doing well unfortunately when he is speaking, thats why all the major League Sports in america. But alas, i dont think they have their own rules, their own 7 procedures. But its why theyre hoist with sports athletes in america at heart daryn during weekly, because they are going to strike you its university. So camillas a shouldnt mean only or it was completely never possible problems. The andrew, i dont see a piece in our lifetimes, and we deliberately sort of 6 years, not when you think proposals like this one. Alan good to talk to that was a sports columnist. The more thank you that i can us actually a state has received a lukewarm welcome. As he came to office multination tour, the french president met my pump after leaving calls for more strained relations. And he was a homeless finding, it tough to him, to move on from the tensions with the trumpet ministry. I should have been scared reports 4 years of the Trump Administration have framed relations with the e. U. Thats pushed some, such as the french president to advance the idea of european strategic alternatives. Me. But even the prospect of joe biden heading into the white house, is having little effect on emanuel mcallens idea of european independence. The United States will only respect us as allies if we are serious with ourselves. And if we are sovereign with our own defense, we need to continue to build our autonomy for ourselves. Not grow. It was reacting to an op ed written by the German Defense minister in it. She stated, europe remain dependent us. Both americans, europe need to fully accept the realities of continued u. S. , Nuclear Deterrence on the european continent, illusions of european strategical told me, must come to an end. Europeans will not be able to replace. Americas crucial rule is a security provider not call addressed this point. Specifically, i profoundly disagree with the opinion piece by the German Defense minister in politico. I think it is a historical misinterpretation. What this illustrates is just how i were not on the same page in new members all when it comes to the future of transatlantic relations. Even more so it seems that for once in germany are in totally different camps. When german chancellor Angela Merkel welcome boy didnt victory. She talked about how you know, like to throw the United States of america in germany. As part of the European Union must stand together to meet the great challenges of our time side by side. Meanwhile, florence spoke about a change in that relationship. Europe has changed in the last 4 years and has shaken off its nadir in terms of trade and has built common defense mechanisms. So this is and you, ear and the need to remodel the transom plan, take relationship with a biden ministration. But lets not forget all of the internal and who are in the e. U. Miss is one major point. What does the u. S. Wont all given the u. S. Is own internal divisions. What can it, even if this is not going to be plain sailing, but it will resume a classic strategy of the u. S. To jimmy days, a world and to dominate europe. Will be many more lives, europe, tramp was and is not. Is not a good view for 4 person. We have had many illusion of president s praise, many feelings about old, bad and against rahm. But i feel really its not a good new. And with the e. U. Having just slapped for a teller tree taxes on u. S. Products in lending running trade just feet, there are choppy waters still ahead to navigate. Joe biden is offering e. U. Leaders, his cooperation, saying he wants to reinvigorate bilateral and trance atlantic ties to nato and the e. U. Yet its clear out all the goodwill in the world wont change the fact that there remains a vost ocean between them. Shall it be, will ski, auti paris. Well reinvigorating relations or not, the outcome of the u. S. Election is still being disputed. Am with donald trump and joe biden wrangling over who will get the keys to the white house. Many are looking at their campaigns for clues as to where the gains and losses were made and whether the focus on identity politics was actually misplaced, or trump lost support from white men. A groupie won decisively back in 2016. However, he gained 4 percent with the africanamerican and hispanic communities, and latino votes helped swing florida. In his favor, Asian American shifted even more to the republicans with a 7 percent rise Saskia Taylor discuss the results with experts. But then the politics really died in 26 years in the eyes of average americans, of course not in the media and not in the far left is not the Democrat Party because they are, they remain so out of touch with real americans. That average america with normal people, really, people are only, its as much as the left in the me, you know, the Democrat Party double down on this narrative that donald trump is a racist, is this narrative that republicans, you know, hate minorities or whatever. A lot of people werent listening. I believe that a lot of people in the black Community Felt completely disrespected by the Democratic Party during this election. Not only did they not respond to what we could expect in response our vote, they also began to put out the mercial that were disrespectful. Its one thing to say donald trump is racist, but show me that youre not racist as well. And i dont think the Democratic Party did that, and its suffered, it caused a lot of people to, you know, turn their back on the party. Well, i think the elections showed that many minorities got tired of this rhetoric. Theres an attitude to believe that latinos, for some reason, they are a one topic community, which is basically based on immigration. And i think latinos got very upset about this because in the end, no matter where youre black, latino, or asian. I think weve got to move forward into the future in it when we see each other, beyond the color of anybody, your skin, and were able to look at each other for what we stand for, what we believe in and not because we have a brown wide or black skin, which i think is ridiculous. Its important that we realize black people are not monolithic, and we actually do appreciate policy just because the president has your color or your compassion does not mean that your policies will benefit. You are always be in line with your views. Well, identity politics win or candidates elections in the future. I think its only going to lose. I think its going to continue to lose. And that terrified theres a lot of people that terrifies a lot of very powerful people because they built their identities on it, so to speak, they, it the whole, the whole identity politics. Mission is something that people built a lot of careers on. All they talk about is equity, which is of course, stealing one group, giving to another for propping one group up over another sort of leveling the pay Playing Field by targeting certain groups now which troops deserve that is always going to be shifting and identity. Politics is their greatest weapon to do that at the moment, i think, and unity politics actually still stars a very powerful role in the electorate. Reparations was due to people who were descendants of slaves. And so if thats the case and, and africanamericans began to swell around that issue. Democrats, i, i
