[00:00:01] gold and foreign exchange reserves. The fact is that a month before the visit to Kristall,
[00:00:05] in October 2024, with exactly the same leader of Laos,
[00:00:08] Alexander Lukashenka had already spoken about the prospects of joint gold mining.
[00:00:12] This was on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Kazan. That
[00:00:16] is, apparently, the president conducts preliminary
[00:00:19] negotiations with a partner, he arrives in Belarus, then he goes to give
[00:00:23] instructions to produce his own measured ingots and not depend on
[00:00:26] anyone, as happened with Venezuela, already understanding
[00:00:29] that... we will be provided with
[00:00:32] gold for these ingots. Last week, apparently, the project entered a new
[00:00:35] stage, especially since the President of Laos said that Belarus
[00:00:39] has good experience in gold mining, but we don't
[00:00:42] mine it ourselves, so where does the experience come from? Welcome
[00:00:46] to Africa, with which our president
[00:00:50] is successfully developing relations. In Africa, gold is plentiful,
[00:00:53] they don't need it, especially the gold that is still in the ground,
[00:00:57] more than food, medicine, agriculture, and
[00:01:00] much more that Minsk offers. Surely with most
[00:01:04] about the same joint
[00:01:07] gold mining as with Laos, we are already mining it there,
[00:01:11] what's the point, it seems that we can also introduce settlements
[00:01:14] for our conventional tractors with gold, especially since Western banks are trying to put a spoke in the
[00:01:18] wheels of Africa, us, and Myanmar, for example, we
[00:01:22] have become closer friends, guess what Myanmar has a lot of,
[00:01:25] right, gold. Our special relations
[00:01:28] with Uzbekistan all for... and Tashkent is actually in eighth
[00:01:32] place on the planet among gold producers, in
[00:01:35] sixth place in this ranking is such a wonderful country as
[00:01:38] Ghana, whose president arrived in June of this year in
[00:01:41] Minsk, in tenth Indonesia, which in July
[00:01:44] of this year was visited by Alexander Lukashenka, and the first and second
[00:01:48] places in the ranking of the largest gold producers in the world are
[00:01:51] Russia and China, two of our main trading and what is even
[00:01:54] more important - political partners. I think
[00:01:57] everyone understood my logic well, but still. What is very important:
[00:02:01] the ultimate main goal of the president, as I see it, is not super-profits
[00:02:04] from gold, even if that is also good, the main thing is that
[00:02:07] Belarusian gold should physically be in Belarus and in sufficient
[00:02:11] quantities, because this is one of the guarantors of the country's sovereignty
[00:02:14] and independence for decades, at least, so that
[00:02:18] no London, Washington, Brussels, or anyone
[00:02:21] else, would dare to try to manipulate us at their
[00:02:24] discretion, as they did, do and will do with other
[00:02:27] countries similar to ours. Belarus
[00:02:30] will not allow this trick to be played, thanks to the efforts,
[00:02:34] of course, of the president. My name is Igor Tur, this was my propaganda.
[00:05:14] I have two homelands, we all say that when we come,
[00:05:18] say goodbye and say, we have two homelands, Belarus and
[00:05:21] Kazakhstan, but we have
[00:05:22] one heart,
[00:05:30] the most precious thing there is,
[00:05:32] is the fatherland.
[00:06:12] will darken, and birds, let them always
[00:06:15] return home.
[00:06:35] This is the talk show "Opinion", my name is Igor Pozniak, here
[00:06:39] now we will gather, analyze,
[00:07:45] So, September 11, 2001, USA,
[00:07:48] early morning, 19 terrorists, divided into several
[00:07:51] groups, hijack four passenger planes.
[00:07:54] The first of them, at 8:46, crashes into the North Tower of
[00:07:58] the World Trade Center in New York. All leading world
[00:08:01] TV channels immediately begin live broadcasts from Manhattan and
[00:08:05] 17 minutes later, live on air, before the eyes of millions
[00:08:08] of people, the second plane rams the second tower.
[00:08:12] Both skyscrapers with thousands of people
[00:08:15] are doomed, their collapse the whole world will also see live
[00:08:18] on air. The third target was the Pentagon, the fourth potential,
[00:08:22] where the plane with the terrorists never reached, experts
[00:08:26] consider it the Capitol.
[00:08:29] It was the boldest, most monstrous, most
[00:08:32] cynical, sophisticated, largest in terms of number of
[00:08:36] victims, terrorist attack, a terrorist attack that next week on
[00:08:40] the twenty-fifth anniversary of the tragedy will be remembered by the world, and
[00:08:43] millions of people will again ask themselves questions,
[00:08:46] was that lesson learned,
[00:08:49] is something similar possible today, why is the
[00:08:53] international security system largely just
[00:08:56] an illusion, but most importantly, how do
[00:08:59] we all live in this very quarter-century
[00:09:03] aftermath? We will discuss here now the most diverse opinions, and next to
[00:09:06] me in this studio:
[00:09:09] Deputy Chairman of the Standing Committee on...
[00:09:22] business, Faculty of International Economic Relations, Financial University under the Russian Government,
[00:09:26] hello, hello,
[00:09:28] our guest from the USA, John
[00:09:32] Varoli, my colleague, journalist, political scientist, we are glad to
[00:09:34] welcome you, well, traditionally, another interlocutor joins
[00:09:38] us via video link, Israel
[00:09:40] via link, Simon.
[00:09:43] Doctor of Political Sciences, expert on international relations
[00:09:46] and national security, we are glad to
[00:09:49] welcome you, hello, I welcome you,
[00:09:53] a quarter of a century later, this
[00:09:56] story, I am not talking about the political
[00:10:00] establishment now, we will get to that later, the most ordinary
[00:10:03] residents of America, New York, Chicago, I
[00:10:06] don't know, some American hinterlands, they
[00:10:09] have rethought, they now...
[00:10:25] We know many conspiracy theories around
[00:10:28] September 11, but I will state pure
[00:10:32] facts: the overwhelming majority of Americans do not trust
[00:10:36] the official version of the American government, what actually
[00:10:39] happened we don't know, let me put it this way, I also don't completely
[00:10:43] understand, because the American government does not
[00:10:46] disclose, and will not disclose all full information about the
[00:10:49] terrorist attack. For
[00:10:52] example, one such conspiracy theory
[00:10:57] among many Americans is that the American government protects Saudi
[00:11:00] Arabia too much, and that the role of
[00:11:03] Saudi agents in this tragedy could be quite
[00:11:07] significant, and this theory was even very hotly
[00:11:11] discussed back in 2002, 2003, 2004,
[00:11:14] and now people forget about it. In general, let's say the mood among
[00:11:18] the moods, the mood of the American people today,
[00:11:22] more and more people just want to forget about it, because... nobody will tell
[00:11:26] us the truth, considering that a whole generation has grown up in these
[00:11:29] 25 years. Oleg Viktorovich, I have the same
[00:11:32] feeling as John, that
[00:11:36] no one can definitively, today,
[00:11:39] a quarter of a century later, formulate what
[00:11:42] happened. Let's try to rise
[00:11:45] a little above this story, you know,
[00:11:48] like in scientific papers, the first
[00:11:51] sentence, let's define the terms, what was it?
[00:11:55] What happened on September 11,
[00:11:58] 2001, for the whole world and for us
[00:12:01] here in the center of Europe. On September
[00:12:04] 11, a large-scale terrorist
[00:12:08] act occurred, which, on the territory of the United States of America, I
[00:12:11] am sure no one expected, because
[00:12:14] terrorist acts, they were committed before this time by
[00:12:17] this terrorist network Al-Qaeda on the territory of
[00:12:21] Africa, in the Middle East, but no one
[00:12:32] expected this. Well, you need to understand that
[00:12:36] terrorism has accompanied human history, it was
[00:12:39] in the 19th century, in the 20th century, it will be in the
[00:12:42] 21st, and here it is important for us what measures
[00:12:46] at the international community
[00:12:49] level we will develop to effectively
[00:12:52] counter it, so to speak.
[00:13:25] story, live broadcast to the whole world, so that
[00:13:28] all
[00:13:30] several billion earthlings saw this here and now,
[00:13:33] felt it, understood it, soaked in this incredible
[00:13:37] feeling of fear here and now, I remember my feelings very well,
[00:13:41] on that September day when I watched the "Vremya" program
[00:13:43] on the Russian TV channel, when my
[00:13:47] colleague, the presenter of the "Vremya" program Ekaterina Andreeva,
[00:13:50] out of excitement even forgot to put on a microphone, this video is still
[00:13:53] available, and what? relationships,
[00:14:11] that is, the bipolar world ceased to exist,
[00:14:14] a sharp crisis of left-wing ideologies, communist
[00:14:18] ideology began, the Soviet Union collapsed, the socialist
[00:14:21] camp, and this vacuum began to fill rapidly.
[00:15:03] Well, there's also the media effect of CNN, no one cancelled it, and
[00:15:07] shock and awe no one cancelled either, I think we'll talk about that today,
[00:15:11] the point is that of course, Americans, it's not just a love
[00:15:14] of sensationalism, the American authorities and the
[00:15:17] media system that exists in the USA also managed to
[00:15:21] extract their own dividends from this, the last thing,
[00:15:23] the reaction of people, it was very different,
[00:15:27] I was in Syria on a business trip at that moment, we also watched it on
[00:15:30] television, but I saw what happened afterwards on the streets of the Syrian
[00:15:34] capital, when Palestinians came out, how they rejoiced that
[00:15:37] a blow had been dealt to Americans, who
[00:15:40] are the main sponsor of Israel, which, in
[00:15:44] their opinion, is the main obstacle to a fair
[00:15:47] resolution of the Palestinian problem, that is, the reaction in the world, and this
[00:15:50] is also a hallmark of this news, we will throw this very
[00:15:54] correct thought of yours right now to Israel,
[00:15:57] Simon, do you agree with the point of view that it was on
[00:16:00] September eleventh, 2001, that this
[00:16:04] chain of... was launched?
[00:16:30] in 1947 with the creation of the State of Israel. But my point
[00:16:33] of view regarding the September 11 attack,
[00:16:36] it... one could even say, fundamentally differs from the majority
[00:16:40] opinions of my colleagues, if I were to
[00:16:43] conduct a large-scale global geopolitical
[00:16:46] analysis, I am only, I am absolutely sure that this was a
[00:16:50] consequence, firstly, as my colleague said, the transition from
[00:16:54] a bipolar world to a unipolar one, the collapse of the
[00:16:57] Soviet Union, the West in the person of the USA, its
[00:17:01] ultimate goal became world domination, in
[00:17:04] my opinion, the key moment of September 11, and I
[00:17:08] may not want to offend
[00:17:12] the feelings of my colleague from the USA, I believe that
[00:17:15] this was an inside job, it was done
[00:17:18] from the inside, Bin Laden was
[00:17:22] a participant in this conspiracy, and my colleague probably
[00:17:25] knows that the Bush family had
[00:17:28] business interests with the Bin Laden family since the 70s,
[00:17:31] they had co-founders of several corporations,
[00:17:35] Bin Laden and the Bush family, who extracted oil, they had
[00:17:39] several investment funds combined,
[00:17:42] and there is a theory that the Bin Laden family - this
[00:17:46] is a large, very rich Saudi Bin Laden family,
[00:17:49] their company was even called Saudi Bin Laden Group, they
[00:17:53] allegedly expelled this
[00:17:56] younger brother, this Osama Bin Laden, from their
[00:17:59] family, because he was too radical, but this theory does not
[00:18:03] hold up to any criticism, then they needed their own people
[00:18:06] from the inside again.
[00:18:37] this point of view, perhaps,
[00:18:41] that is why, for these reasons, which you just voiced,
[00:18:45] the investigation of the September 11
[00:18:47] attack has not yet been concluded. Let's
[00:18:50] watch the report of our correspondent.
[00:18:54] The September 11 case enters its third decade of legal disputes.
[00:18:58] The Pentagon recently officially approved the date for the start of the trial of the main organizer
[00:19:01] of the attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, for the summer of 2028.
[00:19:05] The defense demands the annulment of
[00:19:07] evidence obtained under torture, because immediately after his capture in Rawalpindi, Pakistan,
[00:19:11] in March 2003, Mohammed was placed in a secret
[00:19:15] prison, where he was subjected to waterboarding 183
[00:19:18] times. Due to the deadlock in court, the Pentagon in the summer of 2024
[00:19:22] attempted to conclude a deal for a life sentence instead of the death penalty in
[00:19:25] exchange for a plea of guilty, however, relatives of the victims blocked the agreement,
[00:19:29] considering it a concession to terrorists. The motivation for continuing the uncompromising
[00:19:33] struggle remains the course set by George W. Bush through the global war on
[00:19:36] terror. This strategy forever changed global aviation security,
[00:19:40] the TSA agency appeared, total screening of liquids, baggage
[00:19:44] scanning, and bulletproof doors in cockpits were introduced. On a global scale,
[00:19:48] Bush Junior's slogans launched a geopolitical shift, the US
[00:19:51] invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, the destabilization of the Middle East and the dominance
[00:19:55] of special services over civil liberties around the world. Echoes of these events
[00:19:59] also shape the current agenda. For example, Donald Trump was denied a platform at
[00:20:02] the main ceremony on the day of remembrance for the victims of the terrorist attack due to the Memorial's regulations. He
[00:20:06] has been since 2012.
[00:20:20] based on these stated facts, I would
[00:20:23] like to ask John a question:
[00:20:26] a representative, you have a Canadian
[00:20:29] broadcasting company native of
[00:20:32] Egypt, recently posted
[00:20:35] a wish not to use.
[00:24:50] there, I'm not even taking the technical side, although it is also present, it is conceived not by
[00:24:54] Zelensky himself, but by his Western
[00:24:56] allies, this tactic
[00:24:59] of influencing ordinary Russians, as it
[00:25:02] were, yes, that is,
[00:25:06] to make life harder, this
[00:25:09] is actually, also
[00:25:12] a Western idea, a Western, so to speak,
[00:25:15] method, which was used even during the collapse of the Soviet
[00:25:19] Union. That is, the idea is this: we must make
[00:25:23] the life of Russians bad, then Russians
[00:25:26] will take to the streets, we will actively encourage this and
[00:25:30] talk about how they disperse demonstrations and so on,
[00:25:33] use force, that is, actively use this in information
[00:25:37] warfare, because the most important thing
[00:25:40] for the West is to overthrow our
[00:25:43] president, change the political system in order to establish
[00:25:47] elements of external control, control the economy, and
[00:25:50] most importantly, control
[00:25:52] the resources, the resources of our country, and with
[00:25:56] the least costs, why look back at Russian national
[00:26:00] interests when you can negotiate with people?
[00:27:02] this is the undermining of the state from within,
[00:27:06] manipulation of public opinion through mass media, through propaganda,
[00:27:10] through sabotage, through provocations, all
[00:27:13] this is done in order to create
[00:27:16] tension within society, what is the West hoping for?
[00:27:20] The West or the Kyiv regime is hoping that
[00:27:24] tension will be created in Russian society, and a
[00:27:27] social explosion will occur, that is, it will
[00:27:30] manifest itself in the form of demonstrations.
[00:27:51] threats that the sky over Russia will not be safe. Here I want
[00:27:54] to make one remark, you asked our colleague
[00:27:57] about today's threats from the point of view of national
[00:28:01] security today.
[00:28:36] you say, Oleg Viktorovich. I draw your attention to the fact that today the Kyiv political regime has declared itself
[00:28:39] the successor of terrorist organizations in ideological
[00:28:42] terms. OUN, it was a terrorist organization created in
[00:28:46] the thirties and carried out terrorist acts against
[00:28:49] Polish settlers, representatives of the Polish
[00:28:52] intelligentsia in Western Ukraine, which at that time was part of
[00:28:56] the Polish state. And today, what do we see?
[00:28:59] The reburial of the leader of OUN Konovalets. It was carried out
[00:29:02] with such pomp, with the participation of the highest officials of this
[00:29:06] regime in Ukraine, therefore
[00:29:09] here this strategic line, ideological
[00:29:12] and everything else that we see, these threats
[00:29:16] of committing terrorist acts, real terrorist acts that are carried out
[00:29:20] today by drones against civilian targets in
[00:29:23] the territory of the Russian Federation and so on, are links in one
[00:29:26] chain. And please, yes, I just want to, as
[00:29:30] an American, add that such an evil...
[00:30:05] I think that in the end, everything again
[00:30:09] comes down to the logic of the struggle for power, the struggle for
[00:30:12] resources, for resources, under whatever slogans all this may
[00:30:16] be carried out, and after all, non-state actors existed
[00:30:19] even before the terrorist
[00:30:22] international began to form, the same
[00:30:25] transnational corporations and so on,
[00:30:28] and the struggle for the redivision of spheres of influence,
[00:30:31] resources, and so on, these are
[00:30:35] already categories of political realism, yes, the paradigm of realism in
[00:30:39] world politics, unfortunately, we are now returning to this
[00:30:41] paradigm, and even, probably, not to the 20th century, but almost to the 19th
[00:30:45] century, and we see this in the most diverse phenomena, what
[00:30:49] is happening now in the Middle East, the question of using
[00:30:52] specific ideological postulates is already tactics and
[00:30:56] tools, and of course, here it can
[00:30:59] vary, starting from using...
[00:31:45] conflicts, instability,
[00:31:47] this line to
[00:31:51] extract natural resources at a low cost, to get
[00:31:54] maximum profit, this is also, in general, the flip side, in
[00:31:58] this sense, the unprecedented sanctions
[00:32:01] attack that Belarus, Russia, our allied state have been subjected to in recent
[00:32:05] years, this is also, in its ideological
[00:32:08] core, a terrorist attack, well, in the
[00:32:11] end, what constitutes terrorism?
[00:32:15] There are different approaches, but if we consider this phenomenon in a broad sense
[00:32:18] as directed against ordinary people, then
[00:32:22] absolutely, of course, because these measures are primarily directed
[00:32:25] at ordinary people, Russians,
[00:32:28] Belarusians, our fraternal peoples, to make our
[00:32:31] lives harder, to make our lives,
[00:32:34] preferably unbearable altogether, children suffer, women
[00:32:38] suffer, now there are drone attacks,
[00:32:41] attacking warehouses with goods, for what, in order to
[00:33:15] The largest attacks of recent decades repeatedly broke the patterns
[00:33:18] of special services. In 2011, Norwegian neo-Nazi Anders Breivik
[00:33:22] shot 77 people, proving the police's unpreparedness for threats from
[00:33:26] lone radicals. Four years later, a series of coordinated
[00:33:30] bombings and shootings in Paris, near the Stade de France stadium, at the Bataclan club. After
[00:33:33] this, terror finally mutated into a low-tech tactic. In July
[00:33:37] 2016, a truck plowing into a crowd in Nice killed
[00:33:41] 86 people. And in December of the same year, a similar attack was repeated
[00:33:45] at a Christmas market in Berlin. Later, this scheme paralyzed London, where in
[00:33:48] 2017, militants twice on Westminster and London bridges
[00:33:52] first ran over passers-by with cars, and then finished them off with knives. If
[00:33:56] Breivik acted on his own, then Islamists put chaotic
[00:33:59] vehicular attacks and street massacres on stream, making them part of their global
[00:34:02] franchise. Behind the network attacks of ISIS lies a rigid economic
[00:34:06] model. The syndicate is fueled by raw material smuggling, artifact trading,
[00:34:10] and transfers through shadowy payment systems from some Persian
[00:34:13] Gulf countries. To block this, the unfocused international
[00:34:17] agenda hinders. For example, today the European Union and the United States redirected hundreds
[00:34:20] of billions of dollars to the defense sector for the purchase of heavy armored vehicles.
[00:34:24] Moreover, this reliance on rampant arms production strikes at the West itself
[00:34:27] due to failures in supply control. International experts previously proved
[00:34:31] that anti-tank missile systems purchased by the Pentagon in Eastern Europe
[00:34:34] fell into the hands of ISIS in Iraq only 59 days after leaving
[00:34:38] the conveyor belt, and after the hasty withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, hundreds of thousands
[00:34:42] of unaccounted for American assault rifles and thermal imagers
[00:34:46] poured into the black markets of the Middle East, with which Al-Qaeda
[00:34:49] and ISIS cells are now massively arming themselves.
[00:34:53] It seems to me that this story with Breivik, let's put that
[00:34:56] word in quotation marks, of course,
[00:34:59] this is also a story about a certain romanticization,
[00:35:03] popularization. I know that at one time there were enough
[00:35:07] social groups on social networks where the
[00:35:10] person of that same man was actively
[00:35:14] discussed and almost glorified. young
[00:36:16] man, I heard during the conversation, I talk
[00:36:19] to young Americans, and recently one of them said:
[00:36:23] "John, what do you, what do you think, maybe for us, my generation of 25 years, maybe
[00:36:27] for us"?
[00:36:36] In general, I am against violence, but the second point is because the systems are even waiting for this, to put even
[00:36:39] more pressure on the peoples, to establish a stricter regime, I
[00:36:43] want to dispel the mythology, maybe some people in your audience
[00:36:46] think that America is a free country, no, America
[00:36:50] is a harsh, authoritarian regime, really, it is very
[00:36:53] harsh, I have lived in the USA for the last 11 years.
[00:36:57] I am shocked, because I lived in the USA in the seventies, eighties,
[00:37:01] I know what America was like before September
[00:37:04] 11. America, yes, as you said at the beginning, America before
[00:37:07] September 11 and after - these are two different countries. Well, you are talking about
[00:37:11] the harshness of the American authorities, I would like this harshness
[00:37:14] and principled stand to be shown also in the investigation of this
[00:37:17] very historically significant
[00:37:20] terrorist attack, let's try to dig deeper, Oleg
[00:37:24] Viktorovich, the migration crisis? which
[00:37:27] covered Europe, it seems to me, this is also a peculiar
[00:37:31] trigger, including for
[00:37:33] terrorist sentiments, well, look,
[00:37:37] it's mind-boggling that in Brussels at
[00:37:41] Christmas for several years in a row they displayed
[00:37:45] a nativity scene with faceless figures of
[00:37:48] the Virgin Mary and Joseph, well, because
[00:37:51] supposedly it's politically correct, it
[00:37:54] seems to me, it's not just not politically correct. associated
[00:38:04] with the fact that
[00:38:04] the number of
[00:38:11] indigenous Europeans is decreasing, but the needs of
[00:38:14] the economy remain, and labor
[00:38:17] resources are needed,
[00:38:19] and in the first post-war years, I mean, after the end of the Great Patriotic War, after
[00:38:23] the end of the Second World War, a huge number of people came to
[00:38:26] European countries.
[00:40:27] So the logical question is, it turns out that
[00:40:30] in fact, that very quarter-
[00:40:34] century lesson was not learned, and
[00:40:37] the system of international security,
[00:40:40] as it was an illusion, so it
[00:40:42] remains.
[00:40:49] A quarter of a century ago, on a similar autumn day, September 11,
[00:40:52] 2001, after an unprecedented terrorist attack in
[00:40:56] New York, the Twin Towers collapsed, burying beneath them, perhaps,
[00:41:00] the biggest hoax in modern history, the illusion of
[00:41:02] international security. Yes,
[00:41:06] after the tragedy in Manhattan, thousands of documents and
[00:41:09] regulations were rewritten, approaches to airport security around
[00:41:12] the world were fundamentally revised, but did the world become
[00:41:16] safer because of it, and where is that measure
[00:41:20] of security, and most importantly, what organization, what platform,
[00:41:23] what state, what politician is ready today
[00:41:26] to act as its guarantor?
[00:41:29] Our correspondent asks these reasonable questions on the eve of the anniversary
[00:41:33] of the terrorist attack that changed the world.
[00:41:36] The global anti-terrorist framework is legally enshrined in
[00:41:39] UN conventions. At the regional level, operative
[00:41:42] coordination is carried out by the CIS Anti-Terrorism Center, specialized SCO
[00:41:46] and CSTO structures, and the European strategy of 2005,
[00:41:49] regulating the protection of critical infrastructure, however, common
[00:41:52] security protocols paralyzed by political intrigues, which was clearly
[00:41:56] demonstrated by the investigation into the sabotage of the Nord Stream and Nord
[00:42:00] Stream 2 gas pipelines. Denmark and Sweden closed the investigation in February 2024,
[00:42:03] refusing to transfer the collected materials to third countries. The practice
[00:42:07] of blocking extradition destroys international investigation. Great Britain has been
[00:42:10] harboring Akhmed Zakayev since 2003, recognized in the Russian Federation
[00:42:14] as the organizer of hostage-taking. A similar split blocks NATO's South.
[00:42:17] Turkey has been unable for years to obtain from Stockholm and Washington the extradition of militants
[00:42:21] of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, accused by Ankara of preparing a military coup
[00:42:24] attempt in 2016. Due to
[00:42:27] interstate distrust, the global UN counter-terrorism strategy is blocked.
[00:42:31] The exchange of databases, biometric data, and crypto keys between
[00:42:34] Europol, CIS databases, and Interpol is reduced to formal
[00:42:37] replies. Local structures like the " CSTO counter-terrorism
[00:42:41] pole" successfully eliminate dormant cells in the Eurasian space, but these measures
[00:42:45] remain only regional accounts.
[00:42:48] Simon, the question, perhaps the main question in this situation, is
[00:42:52] what is today the guarantor of that very international
[00:42:56] security? In this sense, a completely logical and
[00:42:59] reasonable question, or rather even a complaint
[00:43:02] to the United Nations, to its Security
[00:43:06] Council instrument, is it not within their competence?
[00:44:40] UN, CSTO, BRICS, SCO,
[00:44:43] how, how can one protect
[00:44:46] oneself from terrorism, if entire states,
[00:44:50] officially recognized states, have taken terrorism as a weapon and use
[00:44:54] it to achieve their goals. Well, there is no answer
[00:44:57] to this question, we can only throw up our hands now. John, do
[00:45:01] you have complaints about the platform that is located in
[00:45:05] Manhattan, the famous Skyscraper
[00:45:09] with...
[00:45:40] and other NATO countries are the main sponsors
[00:45:43] of the Kyiv regime, which is one of the most, perhaps the most terrible terrorist
[00:45:47] regime on the planet, that while the US and Europe finance
[00:45:50] terrorism against Russia in favor of
[00:45:54] Ukraine against Russia, but as long as this continues, what can
[00:45:58] we talk about, what kind of fight against terrorism, if the Western world
[00:46:01] supports terrorism, then all this will have to,
[00:46:04] so that China, Russia, India, these
[00:46:08] are the countries, what? must unite and
[00:46:11] fight against terrorism, a real fight against terrorism,
[00:46:15] let's take a look right now at some footage that precisely
[00:46:19] illustrates, we hope, this
[00:46:22] new world power, a new world
[00:46:25] pole, which, again, we hope,
[00:46:29] is capable of playing, balancing the situation in the world and
[00:46:32] playing the role of that very guarantor, including
[00:46:35] of world international terrorist
[00:46:39] security.
[00:47:22] it was initially very promising, because there is such
[00:47:26] a concept as the spirit of Shanghai, which implies
[00:47:29] an equal approach to all states,
[00:47:33] respect for their civilizational specifics, their
[00:47:36] state interests, national
[00:47:38] interests, and this is very important, because
[00:47:42] the SCO, as we can see now, is happening before our eyes, this
[00:47:45] is a historical process, it cannot be reversed, whether one likes
[00:47:49] it or not, just like the formation of multipolarity.
[00:47:53] This is a very good platform that
[00:47:56] allows solving many issues, not only directly
[00:47:59] fighting terrorism, but also solving problems of fighting organized
[00:48:03] crime, illegal immigration, and so on, that is,
[00:48:07] the widest range of issues that feed
[00:48:11] these problems, feed the terrorist threat,
[00:48:14] the terrorist challenge, therefore, this is undoubtedly a promising
[00:48:17] platform, reflecting multipolarity, it is becoming
[00:48:21] such an important building block.
[00:49:55] including, we are open to cooperation with other associations, because terrorism is a threat to the whole world, and
[00:49:59] terrorism, unfortunately,
[00:50:02] is used today by individual players to solve
[00:50:05] their private, narrowly self-serving
[00:50:08] economic and geopolitical interests, in this sense
[00:50:12] it is very important, on the
[00:50:15] SCO platform, all its participants,
[00:50:19] today, I remind you, these are 10 states, but this is a...
[00:51:22] in a new format with joint exercises of
[00:51:25] SCO member states and the Commonwealth of Independent
[00:51:29] States. We also welcome the speedy
[00:51:32] launch of a universal center for
[00:51:35] countering challenges and threats to the security
[00:51:39] of SCO member states and
[00:51:41] an anti-drug center of the Shanghai
[00:51:44] Organization. We expect that, in
[00:51:48] aggregate, this will help qualitatively enhance the fight against
[00:51:51] three forces of evil: terrorism,
[00:51:55] separatism, extremism.
[00:51:59] So, on the eve of the twenty-fifth anniversary
[00:52:02] of the terrorist attack. in Manhattan,
[00:52:06] the collapse of the Twin Towers, in
[00:52:09] New York, at a time when the investigation of this horrific
[00:52:13] terrorist attack, which divided the world into before and after, has not yet been concluded, here and now
[00:52:17] we are talking about some kind of world instrument
[00:52:20] for countering terrorism, about a world instrument
[00:52:24] for ensuring security, Simon, we are moving
[00:52:27] towards the end of the program, is the Shanghai Organization, with its
[00:52:30] Shanghai spirit,
[00:52:33] and effective format of interaction, which our
[00:52:37] president spoke about, ready to act as such a global
[00:52:41] guarantor? I have no doubts about it, indeed,
[00:52:44] firstly, because, if only because today the global
[00:52:48] East, it dominates, as you see, the global
[00:52:52] West, I take my region as an example,
[00:52:55] the US is practically fleeing the
[00:52:57] Middle East, they are winding down their activities in the Persian
[00:53:00] Gulf, Iran attacked more than
[00:53:04] 200 US military targets, and
[00:53:08] with impunity, the US is now winding down, along
[00:53:11] with them the global West, a vacuum appears,
[00:53:14] a vacuum in geopolitics is always an opportunity. I
[00:53:18] believe that the SCO should use the opportunity of a vacuum in the Middle
[00:53:21] East, in the Persian Gulf, in your region of Eurasia, in order to
[00:53:25] ensure security at the highest possible level, including
[00:53:29] counter-terrorism, and to
[00:53:32] be an example for... Simon, thank you very much for participating in our
[00:54:05] program, we thank you, well, and at the end of our
[00:54:09] discussion, artificial intelligence traditionally joins
[00:54:12] in, and I will ask to show how the neural
[00:54:16] network saw and generated the essence and tone
[00:54:20] of our conversation today. And Igor
[00:54:23] Aleksandrovich, that very, that very
[00:54:26] UN at the top of
[00:54:29] a very fragile house. No,
[00:54:32] of course not, it's a... such
[00:54:35] a structure is now quite formal, more
[00:54:38] for discussion, and also, unfortunately,
[00:54:41] the arena has become an arena for, among other things, manipulation, we
[00:54:45] all know the voting on Ukraine and so on,
[00:54:49] so to expect that in the foreseeable future it will
[00:54:53] be there, I think it's
[00:54:56] unrealistic, I don't see, unfortunately,
[00:54:58] the flags of the SCO countries here,
[00:55:01] maybe I'm not looking carefully.
[00:56:45] A view from Minsk on what is happening in the world. The most notable events
[00:56:49] and topics that are being discussed. Today
[00:56:52] the Republic of Belarus has been ensuring its own food security for
[00:56:56] several decades, and we are a significant player in the international
[00:56:59] food market, a scientifically based structure of sown
[00:57:02] areas for each region works. it is different,
[00:57:06] adapted to soil-climatic, natural
[00:57:09] conditions, today all our developments, varieties
[00:57:13] of crops that are made here, they are unique, they...
[00:58:17] which will always grab you by the throat, its life principle is
[00:58:21] dominance, it does not like it if you
[00:58:25] fit into its system in some special way, no, only destruction,
[00:58:28] only dominance, so this fight will be eternal. The Republic
[00:58:31] of Belarus in recent years in the international
[00:58:34] economic space has declared itself
[00:58:38] a state fully prosperous in terms of food security, this
[00:58:42] did not start in 2022, but all these cancellations.
