We need to live with. On the u. S. , senate pos is an act that could see huge fines or even jail for those involved in sports doping. But the wild Anti Doping Agency warns that excludes american sport while allowing International Prosecutions to go ahead for your news every hour of the day, this is Art International for myself and the whole team here in moscow. A very, very warm welcome to the program. While it was a sight that was hard to imagine, just a few days ago, troops from armenia and azerbaijan cooperating in the disputed new corner. Reachin it comes as russian peacekeepers arrive in the area to uphold a cease fire between the 2 sides. And if now reopen the only road linking the enclave to armenia, where i got stiffed sent us 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, meenie and troops. These are neutral territories. These are areas to which is there by johnny food as well as troops come to resolve their misunderstandings or disputes outstanding problems that may come up. So normally 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. Today 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 from armenia and the escort. d of russian peacekeepers towards their particular be the capital of the speech security of the area is maintained by the observation posts longer lashon corydoras and by military police as well mission 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 that is 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 issue now is getting them back. And this is something that the latrines because will help with the 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 competition 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 were neutral and civilians of course, gave us a woman welcome. Thank god that the war here is over again aside then imagine unimaginable, just a few weeks ago. It is 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. He had helped the Red Cross International committee has already expressed gratitude to the peacekeepers. We also got reaction on the streets of the armenian capital of this piece. Theyre building roads, providing security. This is excellent and welcome. The fact that peacemakers are encouraged, it is better in the news in 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 just to remind you, want to the peace deal. Both sides will hold on to their current military position, so that gives armenia control of the disputed regions capital to plan a cut as a by john gets the 2nd largest city of shashi, which it took just before the fighting ended. Armenia will also have to hand over 3 of the districts in the region while 4 out hussein of deputy minister of the Azerbaijani Committee for refugees told us it will take a lot to rebuild the area. But he said, despite the war, his people can live peacefully alongside armenians. Every same been said terry to this, which are under occupation, has been destroyed literally speaking crazed as a ground and toast scene. To do look 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 audience as 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 upon those of note, if are me inside at will abate, will comply with is also commitments which have been adopted was, is a friend of tri party to grammont will ensure safety and security for me and community if they will wish to leave, insist far as citizens of azerbaijan, complying with National Legislation of the republic of i said, a great way out from our common, the director of the Crisis Research and knox, that now he believes the mediation of the russian peacekeepers could be crucial in stabilizing the region. I think the likelihood is, in fact, that this will be come, a basic piece of the territories will be exchanged and it will come to accept it. And in a sense, the problem before was that we simply dont mean incentives. There is facing each other without a mediator on the ground and air and tore, or cease fire on the ground. And now russia has sent in peace because this means that there is a 3rd party that both sides good relations with. And so i think it should be the basis of a stable future. Theres always the risk of some food issue or reckless act or somebody causing things to do wrong. But i think that in the pair of a question with a situation where there is a neutral umpires or media to the set of the list of countries wanting an option on russias covert, 1000. 00 vaccine continues to expand with 2 drugs already registered and a 3rd one in the pipeline, washing president Vladimir Putin has said, mass production is now the priority i would like to emphasize that russia, along with india and brazil have secured agreements on the sputnik vaccines Clinical Trials. Also, russia has agreed with india and china to open production sensors for the vaccine on their respective territories, not only to meet the demand of our countries, but also other states. And i think it is very important that we have russian vaccines in place. They work, they are effective and secure. The question is how to provide mass production. I would not say it is a problem, but its an issue we have to solve. In that respect, it is crucial to join efforts in securing mass civilian circulation. By the way, a 2nd, nancy Coronavirus Vaccine called corona, has now been registered in russia. The 3rd is also on the way and we are ready to engage with the brics countries in their production and implementation of president putin speaking at the 12th brakes on that for a march in qana means that well hold. But this time around, of course. Meanwhile, israels Prime Minister has already been in talks over buying russias foster. I just, in fact, see that sputnik, they all correspond to a point of clear has more on that. 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. They are about 30 countries around the world that have already the russian vaccine. One of them is israel be in hospital here. Just a Medical Clinic has ordered one and a half 1000000 doses looks like now to a may already is an israel based a friend, some political commentator met. Welcome to the program with good to see you. I want to ask you, israel has already struck deals with 2 vaccine makers. If im not mistaken, the 2 in the us. Why would it need the russian covert drug to . Well, you know, if you take the word pandemic and take the middle out, if you get to panic, once the pandemic hit the world populations and leaders where reasonably afraid of what is going to happen. Are we going to have any vaccine or medication soon . And one of course, would rather look everywhere to find solutions and strike deals with several companies. Several of their laboratories and obviously the spotting could be, is a promising one. There was no reason not to look at russia as a producer, as a developer of a vaccine. And if there are several such vaccines, so much the better, its much better than having no vaccine at all. We know, in recent days of how do you not that russian efforts were vaccine, that being dismissed a little bit by the west is unconvincing to hasty that cutting corners they want to win this global race for a fact. See why, in your opinion is that considering the u. S. And u. K. Trials are also at a similar stage when were seeing phase 3 across the pond. Well, apparently you cannot leave the prestige and politics aside even when you are dealing with such a serious matter. But you know, if you are lost at sea and you almost drown, you are willing to take any straw. And if you see an improvised life raft, you take it and, and thank your luck and then you see another person being taken aboard a speedboat and you think, why didnt i take the speedboat . Why didnt they wait for, for a faster craft . We may see, once we have all 3 or maybe more vaccines in stock, we may see several populations telling their leaders, no, we would rather take x. Rather than z. Or rather than the sputnik b. Or vice versa. Because people would like to have the best model available, especially as there are still populations against any vaccination. So yes, there is a competition in world politics. But you know, everyone knows that russia, even in biological warfare or is one of the leading countries. And it stands to reason that if it knows how to produce offensive bio weapons, it would also know how to produce the antidote. I want to start to pick not there on how you set politics and pristine. Is there a concern that exactly politics and competition will somehow overshadow safety concerns or n. T. To africa see of attack seen . Well, you note its a very dicey situation. And it depends on how you look at statistics 92 percent. The spoiler just mentioned is fantastic. 94 percent for the moderna, 90 percent for pfizer. This is a very, very good data. And there shouldnt be any, any other secondary consideration. One should take whatever reason best for one, its 2 doses. Of course, people may get some some symptoms, but everyone including in israel, is anxiously awaiting the best results possible beat from russia, from switzerland, from United States, and also from israel itself. The reserve biological Research Institute here a government held one which is also in the race. Whatever reason, best known, better the all region will take it. I think the catch up what i want to ask about next is our house, of course being going to Great Lengths to divide at its own vaccine, quite rightly is to mastic production, a good stage, and its a backup in case the foreign ones prove to be less efficient than wed hoped. So again, there is a slight difference between speed and haste. If youre doing it too fast, you may fail, and you may have repercussions and have to stop the clinical tests. And we saw it only in recent days of fires or was 1st more then a way to a few more days. And then they came out with a better refuse to see. So it doesnt really matter. Its all of mankind in the race. And whatever results we get, eventually all information will be shared world while you, whether through the World Health Organization or by letter really and it should be for the betterment of all of mankind. And finally, i just want to ask you, weve seen in the us that increasingly people are battle skeptical of taking a fact seen whats the feeling in israel . Is this something the population would welcome that they would rush to the clinics a soon as its available . You know, its not only a medical question, its even a philosophical one, even if you dont want personally to take a vaccine. If you or your child goes to a high school where the other kids are going to behave just like you do, then all of you might be infected. And you cant just think about yourself. This is one of those crisis where everybody has to chip in no matter their philosophy about it, everyone should be vaccinated while his, her pain, that people celebrate 2021 safely and not yet 2020 finally comes to an and thats one thing were all wishing for that was a male or an israel based offensive political commentator. Thank you so much for speaking to me. Thank you. Well, in russia, there have been almost 2000000 cases since the spring on moscow. As the capital has the highest number of victims there are public in eastern russia has become the 1st to impose and not the knock down restaurants, Shopping Centers and places of mass gathering. For 2 weeks, we spoke with some of the countrys top urana jests on the development of a vaccine. And when it could finally have an impact on this pandemic, it still works and there are no 100 vaccines in the world yourself. The institute was the 1st which declared it had developed one, but this is very important. The vaccine was still unfinished. It was in the 3rd phase of testing, yet the president said that we have the vaccine. How come its 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 because of the thought that you take the virus out of a silk culture and clean it. And when you inject the person with it, the virus wont multiply and you say that the 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 the 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. Its the beautiful when will such a large scale global epidemic, and yet the fossil fuel, 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. I dont agree here. I do think that it will change over time. There will be more people with immunity plus vaccinations they will work to. 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, we need to understand the corona virus does not kill you. It finishes you the wild Antidoping Agency has described a new bill going through the u. S. As a power grab by the american people. Fortys, which could allow the United States to create a liability outside of its jurisdiction. While at my colleague discuss those concerns of the socalled act with our correspondent alexei ski. 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 act entails up to a 1000000. 00 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 roche and 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 wide, 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. So brace ourselves for more drama in this again, just to remind us to alexey why it is called the act. Now obviously this relates to go to church and of 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 for himself is 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 whistle blows, dont know, but my exactly, it will discourage them from coming forward in case they get criminally prosecuted. And i was rushed, then reacted to this bill. There has been a reaction from russia through the kremlin spokesperson, the middle school for who called this kind of move, unacceptable. I believe we can 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 those 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. We also heard from sports psychology and sociology expert out of cashmore. He thinks the legislation wont be effective and actually tackling doping. The irony of this, the absolute paradox of the center of it is that its designed to try to control doping in the world and it will do nothing of the sort. In fact, it will probably have the opposite of thing because anybody who does decide to want to, to grass up in other words, to spill the beans, to inform. In other words on doping that they suspect is going on, will immediately be held complicit in their action. Because they have a say, how did you know about this . Did you ever do anything to contribute towards the doping offense . And if you did, maybe will know you as well. So it will actually intimidate potential. Whistleblowers certainly not encourage them because theres no Witness Protection Program here. And so really, it appears to be the United States positioning itself as the worlds antidoping policeman by the end of the group with water. But i think that they will have something very strong to say about this because really straining on their toes. Lets face it one of time now to the french capital, where crowds have gathered in paris. You can see it is actually live pictures right. That to push back against a draft law designed to protect the identities of police. The socalled Global Security bill lanes to ban the dissemination of images that would make Police Officer officers identifiable for malicious purposes. The National Assembly are due to hold a debate in the coming hours following not the bill has attracted criticism from me to outlets and activist groups as they claim it puts press freedom in jeopardy. Living on the outgoing u. S. Secretary of state, has received a lukewarm welcome as he kicked off a multi nation tour, the french president met my payoff to leading calls for more restraint relations. And the e. U. As a whole is finding it tough to move on from the tensions with the trumpet, ministration, t. V. Reports. For years, all of the trump ministration have framed relations with the e. U. That pushed some, such as the french president to advance the idea of european strategic all turn on 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 cool, i 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 of 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 welcomed by didnt victory, she talked about how you know, like to throw the United States of america. And germany, as part of the european union, must stand together to meet the great challenges of our time side by side. Meanwhile, france spoke about a change in that relationship. Europe has changed in the last 4 years and has shaken off its needed in terms of trade and has built common defense mechanisms. So this is and you ear and we need to remodel the transplanted relationship with a biden administration. But lets not forget all the internal and who are in the e. U. Miss is one major point. What does the us wont all given the us is own internal divisions. What could it, even if this is not going to be plain sailing, but it will resume classic strategy of the us to jimmy days, a world and do, do we need europe . We could be maybe more soon lose. Europe was not a good view for 4 person. We had many illusion owners of present sprays, maybe feeds about old baden against room. But i figure really, its not a good new. And with the e. U. Having just slapped for teller, tree taxes on us products in learning, running trade to speak, there are choppy waters still ahead to navigate. Joe biden is offering e. U. Leaders, his cooperation, saying he wants to reinvigorate bilateral trance atlantic ties to nato. And the e. U. Lets, its clear out all the goodwill in the world wont change the fact that there remains of last ocean between them shall it be will ski, altie paris. Thats all for me for the moment. Ill be back at the top of course. Check out our tea dot com for the very latest, but dont go to out quite yet, because up next, its our documentary, this little blonde of mine. We do aerial reconnaissance. We do not work up some other time in the states of america, of the planet
