00:00:01gold and foreign exchange reserves. The fact is that a month before the visit to Kristall,
00:00:05in October 2024, with exactly the same leader of Laos,
00:00:08Alexander Lukashenka had already spoken about the prospects of joint gold mining.
00:00:12This was on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Kazan. That
00:00:16is, apparently, the president conducts preliminary
00:00:19negotiations with a partner, he arrives in Belarus, then he goes to give
00:00:23instructions to produce his own measured ingots and not depend on
00:00:26anyone, as happened with Venezuela, already understanding
00:00:29that... we will be provided with
00:00:32gold for these ingots. Last week, apparently, the project entered a new
00:00:35stage, especially since the President of Laos said that Belarus
00:00:39has good experience in gold mining, but we don't
00:00:42mine it ourselves, so where does the experience come from? Welcome
00:00:46to Africa, with which our president
00:00:50is successfully developing relations. In Africa, gold is plentiful,
00:00:53they don't need it, especially the gold that is still in the ground,
00:00:57more than food, medicine, agriculture, and
00:01:00much more that Minsk offers. Surely with most
00:01:04about the same joint
00:01:07gold mining as with Laos, we are already mining it there,
00:01:11what's the point, it seems that we can also introduce settlements
00:01:14for our conventional tractors with gold, especially since Western banks are trying to put a spoke in the
00:01:18wheels of Africa, us, and Myanmar, for example, we
00:01:22have become closer friends, guess what Myanmar has a lot of,
00:01:25right, gold. Our special relations
00:01:28with Uzbekistan all for... and Tashkent is actually in eighth
00:01:32place on the planet among gold producers, in
00:01:35sixth place in this ranking is such a wonderful country as
00:01:38Ghana, whose president arrived in June of this year in
00:01:41Minsk, in tenth Indonesia, which in July
00:01:44of this year was visited by Alexander Lukashenka, and the first and second
00:01:48places in the ranking of the largest gold producers in the world are
00:01:51Russia and China, two of our main trading and what is even
00:01:54more important - political partners. I think
00:01:57everyone understood my logic well, but still. What is very important:
00:02:01the ultimate main goal of the president, as I see it, is not super-profits
00:02:04from gold, even if that is also good, the main thing is that
00:02:07Belarusian gold should physically be in Belarus and in sufficient
00:02:11quantities, because this is one of the guarantors of the country's sovereignty
00:02:14and independence for decades, at least, so that
00:02:18no London, Washington, Brussels, or anyone
00:02:21else, would dare to try to manipulate us at their
00:02:24discretion, as they did, do and will do with other
00:02:27countries similar to ours. Belarus
00:02:30will not allow this trick to be played, thanks to the efforts,
00:02:34of course, of the president. My name is Igor Tur, this was my propaganda.
00:05:14I have two homelands, we all say that when we come,
00:05:18say goodbye and say, we have two homelands, Belarus and
00:05:21Kazakhstan, but we have
00:05:22one heart,
00:05:30the most precious thing there is,
00:05:32is the fatherland.
00:06:12will darken, and birds, let them always
00:06:15return home.
00:06:35This is the talk show "Opinion", my name is Igor Pozniak, here
00:06:39now we will gather, analyze,
00:07:45So, September 11, 2001, USA,
00:07:48early morning, 19 terrorists, divided into several
00:07:51groups, hijack four passenger planes.
00:07:54The first of them, at 8:46, crashes into the North Tower of
00:07:58the World Trade Center in New York. All leading world
00:08:01TV channels immediately begin live broadcasts from Manhattan and
00:08:0517 minutes later, live on air, before the eyes of millions
00:08:08of people, the second plane rams the second tower.
00:08:12Both skyscrapers with thousands of people
00:08:15are doomed, their collapse the whole world will also see live
00:08:18on air. The third target was the Pentagon, the fourth potential,
00:08:22where the plane with the terrorists never reached, experts
00:08:26consider it the Capitol.
00:08:29It was the boldest, most monstrous, most
00:08:32cynical, sophisticated, largest in terms of number of
00:08:36victims, terrorist attack, a terrorist attack that next week on
00:08:40the twenty-fifth anniversary of the tragedy will be remembered by the world, and
00:08:43millions of people will again ask themselves questions,
00:08:46was that lesson learned,
00:08:49is something similar possible today, why is the
00:08:53international security system largely just
00:08:56an illusion, but most importantly, how do
00:08:59we all live in this very quarter-century
00:09:03aftermath? We will discuss here now the most diverse opinions, and next to
00:09:06me in this studio:
00:09:09Deputy Chairman of the Standing Committee on...
00:09:22business, Faculty of International Economic Relations, Financial University under the Russian Government,
00:09:26hello, hello,
00:09:28our guest from the USA, John
00:09:32Varoli, my colleague, journalist, political scientist, we are glad to
00:09:34welcome you, well, traditionally, another interlocutor joins
00:09:38us via video link, Israel
00:09:40via link, Simon.
00:09:43Doctor of Political Sciences, expert on international relations
00:09:46and national security, we are glad to
00:09:49welcome you, hello, I welcome you,
00:09:53a quarter of a century later, this
00:09:56story, I am not talking about the political
00:10:00establishment now, we will get to that later, the most ordinary
00:10:03residents of America, New York, Chicago, I
00:10:06don't know, some American hinterlands, they
00:10:09have rethought, they now...
00:10:25We know many conspiracy theories around
00:10:28September 11, but I will state pure
00:10:32facts: the overwhelming majority of Americans do not trust
00:10:36the official version of the American government, what actually
00:10:39happened we don't know, let me put it this way, I also don't completely
00:10:43understand, because the American government does not
00:10:46disclose, and will not disclose all full information about the
00:10:49terrorist attack. For
00:10:52example, one such conspiracy theory
00:10:57among many Americans is that the American government protects Saudi
00:11:00Arabia too much, and that the role of
00:11:03Saudi agents in this tragedy could be quite
00:11:07significant, and this theory was even very hotly
00:11:11discussed back in 2002, 2003, 2004,
00:11:14and now people forget about it. In general, let's say the mood among
00:11:18the moods, the mood of the American people today,
00:11:22more and more people just want to forget about it, because... nobody will tell
00:11:26us the truth, considering that a whole generation has grown up in these
00:11:2925 years. Oleg Viktorovich, I have the same
00:11:32feeling as John, that
00:11:36no one can definitively, today,
00:11:39a quarter of a century later, formulate what
00:11:42happened. Let's try to rise
00:11:45a little above this story, you know,
00:11:48like in scientific papers, the first
00:11:51sentence, let's define the terms, what was it?
00:11:55What happened on September 11,
00:11:582001, for the whole world and for us
00:12:01here in the center of Europe. On September
00:12:0411, a large-scale terrorist
00:12:08act occurred, which, on the territory of the United States of America, I
00:12:11am sure no one expected, because
00:12:14terrorist acts, they were committed before this time by
00:12:17this terrorist network Al-Qaeda on the territory of
00:12:21Africa, in the Middle East, but no one
00:12:32expected this. Well, you need to understand that
00:12:36terrorism has accompanied human history, it was
00:12:39in the 19th century, in the 20th century, it will be in the
00:12:4221st, and here it is important for us what measures
00:12:46at the international community
00:12:49level we will develop to effectively
00:12:52counter it, so to speak.
00:13:25story, live broadcast to the whole world, so that
00:13:28all
00:13:30several billion earthlings saw this here and now,
00:13:33felt it, understood it, soaked in this incredible
00:13:37feeling of fear here and now, I remember my feelings very well,
00:13:41on that September day when I watched the "Vremya" program
00:13:43on the Russian TV channel, when my
00:13:47colleague, the presenter of the "Vremya" program Ekaterina Andreeva,
00:13:50out of excitement even forgot to put on a microphone, this video is still
00:13:53available, and what? relationships,
00:14:11that is, the bipolar world ceased to exist,
00:14:14a sharp crisis of left-wing ideologies, communist
00:14:18ideology began, the Soviet Union collapsed, the socialist
00:14:21camp, and this vacuum began to fill rapidly.
00:15:03Well, there's also the media effect of CNN, no one cancelled it, and
00:15:07shock and awe no one cancelled either, I think we'll talk about that today,
00:15:11the point is that of course, Americans, it's not just a love
00:15:14of sensationalism, the American authorities and the
00:15:17media system that exists in the USA also managed to
00:15:21extract their own dividends from this, the last thing,
00:15:23the reaction of people, it was very different,
00:15:27I was in Syria on a business trip at that moment, we also watched it on
00:15:30television, but I saw what happened afterwards on the streets of the Syrian
00:15:34capital, when Palestinians came out, how they rejoiced that
00:15:37a blow had been dealt to Americans, who
00:15:40are the main sponsor of Israel, which, in
00:15:44their opinion, is the main obstacle to a fair
00:15:47resolution of the Palestinian problem, that is, the reaction in the world, and this
00:15:50is also a hallmark of this news, we will throw this very
00:15:54correct thought of yours right now to Israel,
00:15:57Simon, do you agree with the point of view that it was on
00:16:00September eleventh, 2001, that this
00:16:04chain of... was launched?
00:16:30in 1947 with the creation of the State of Israel. But my point
00:16:33of view regarding the September 11 attack,
00:16:36it... one could even say, fundamentally differs from the majority
00:16:40opinions of my colleagues, if I were to
00:16:43conduct a large-scale global geopolitical
00:16:46analysis, I am only, I am absolutely sure that this was a
00:16:50consequence, firstly, as my colleague said, the transition from
00:16:54a bipolar world to a unipolar one, the collapse of the
00:16:57Soviet Union, the West in the person of the USA, its
00:17:01ultimate goal became world domination, in
00:17:04my opinion, the key moment of September 11, and I
00:17:08may not want to offend
00:17:12the feelings of my colleague from the USA, I believe that
00:17:15this was an inside job, it was done
00:17:18from the inside, Bin Laden was
00:17:22a participant in this conspiracy, and my colleague probably
00:17:25knows that the Bush family had
00:17:28business interests with the Bin Laden family since the 70s,
00:17:31they had co-founders of several corporations,
00:17:35Bin Laden and the Bush family, who extracted oil, they had
00:17:39several investment funds combined,
00:17:42and there is a theory that the Bin Laden family - this
00:17:46is a large, very rich Saudi Bin Laden family,
00:17:49their company was even called Saudi Bin Laden Group, they
00:17:53allegedly expelled this
00:17:56younger brother, this Osama Bin Laden, from their
00:17:59family, because he was too radical, but this theory does not
00:18:03hold up to any criticism, then they needed their own people
00:18:06from the inside again.
00:18:37this point of view, perhaps,
00:18:41that is why, for these reasons, which you just voiced,
00:18:45the investigation of the September 11
00:18:47attack has not yet been concluded. Let's
00:18:50watch the report of our correspondent.
00:18:54The September 11 case enters its third decade of legal disputes.
00:18:58The Pentagon recently officially approved the date for the start of the trial of the main organizer
00:19:01of the attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, for the summer of 2028.
00:19:05The defense demands the annulment of
00:19:07evidence obtained under torture, because immediately after his capture in Rawalpindi, Pakistan,
00:19:11in March 2003, Mohammed was placed in a secret
00:19:15prison, where he was subjected to waterboarding 183
00:19:18times. Due to the deadlock in court, the Pentagon in the summer of 2024
00:19:22attempted to conclude a deal for a life sentence instead of the death penalty in
00:19:25exchange for a plea of guilty, however, relatives of the victims blocked the agreement,
00:19:29considering it a concession to terrorists. The motivation for continuing the uncompromising
00:19:33struggle remains the course set by George W. Bush through the global war on
00:19:36terror. This strategy forever changed global aviation security,
00:19:40the TSA agency appeared, total screening of liquids, baggage
00:19:44scanning, and bulletproof doors in cockpits were introduced. On a global scale,
00:19:48Bush Junior's slogans launched a geopolitical shift, the US
00:19:51invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, the destabilization of the Middle East and the dominance
00:19:55of special services over civil liberties around the world. Echoes of these events
00:19:59also shape the current agenda. For example, Donald Trump was denied a platform at
00:20:02the main ceremony on the day of remembrance for the victims of the terrorist attack due to the Memorial's regulations. He
00:20:06has been since 2012.
00:20:20based on these stated facts, I would
00:20:23like to ask John a question:
00:20:26a representative, you have a Canadian
00:20:29broadcasting company native of
00:20:32Egypt, recently posted
00:20:35a wish not to use.
00:24:50there, I'm not even taking the technical side, although it is also present, it is conceived not by
00:24:54Zelensky himself, but by his Western
00:24:56allies, this tactic
00:24:59of influencing ordinary Russians, as it
00:25:02were, yes, that is,
00:25:06to make life harder, this
00:25:09is actually, also
00:25:12a Western idea, a Western, so to speak,
00:25:15method, which was used even during the collapse of the Soviet
00:25:19Union. That is, the idea is this: we must make
00:25:23the life of Russians bad, then Russians
00:25:26will take to the streets, we will actively encourage this and
00:25:30talk about how they disperse demonstrations and so on,
00:25:33use force, that is, actively use this in information
00:25:37warfare, because the most important thing
00:25:40for the West is to overthrow our
00:25:43president, change the political system in order to establish
00:25:47elements of external control, control the economy, and
00:25:50most importantly, control
00:25:52the resources, the resources of our country, and with
00:25:56the least costs, why look back at Russian national
00:26:00interests when you can negotiate with people?
00:27:02this is the undermining of the state from within,
00:27:06manipulation of public opinion through mass media, through propaganda,
00:27:10through sabotage, through provocations, all
00:27:13this is done in order to create
00:27:16tension within society, what is the West hoping for?
00:27:20The West or the Kyiv regime is hoping that
00:27:24tension will be created in Russian society, and a
00:27:27social explosion will occur, that is, it will
00:27:30manifest itself in the form of demonstrations.
00:27:51threats that the sky over Russia will not be safe. Here I want
00:27:54to make one remark, you asked our colleague
00:27:57about today's threats from the point of view of national
00:28:01security today.
00:28:36you say, Oleg Viktorovich. I draw your attention to the fact that today the Kyiv political regime has declared itself
00:28:39the successor of terrorist organizations in ideological
00:28:42terms. OUN, it was a terrorist organization created in
00:28:46the thirties and carried out terrorist acts against
00:28:49Polish settlers, representatives of the Polish
00:28:52intelligentsia in Western Ukraine, which at that time was part of
00:28:56the Polish state. And today, what do we see?
00:28:59The reburial of the leader of OUN Konovalets. It was carried out
00:29:02with such pomp, with the participation of the highest officials of this
00:29:06regime in Ukraine, therefore
00:29:09here this strategic line, ideological
00:29:12and everything else that we see, these threats
00:29:16of committing terrorist acts, real terrorist acts that are carried out
00:29:20today by drones against civilian targets in
00:29:23the territory of the Russian Federation and so on, are links in one
00:29:26chain. And please, yes, I just want to, as
00:29:30an American, add that such an evil...
00:30:05I think that in the end, everything again
00:30:09comes down to the logic of the struggle for power, the struggle for
00:30:12resources, for resources, under whatever slogans all this may
00:30:16be carried out, and after all, non-state actors existed
00:30:19even before the terrorist
00:30:22international began to form, the same
00:30:25transnational corporations and so on,
00:30:28and the struggle for the redivision of spheres of influence,
00:30:31resources, and so on, these are
00:30:35already categories of political realism, yes, the paradigm of realism in
00:30:39world politics, unfortunately, we are now returning to this
00:30:41paradigm, and even, probably, not to the 20th century, but almost to the 19th
00:30:45century, and we see this in the most diverse phenomena, what
00:30:49is happening now in the Middle East, the question of using
00:30:52specific ideological postulates is already tactics and
00:30:56tools, and of course, here it can
00:30:59vary, starting from using...
00:31:45conflicts, instability,
00:31:47this line to
00:31:51extract natural resources at a low cost, to get
00:31:54maximum profit, this is also, in general, the flip side, in
00:31:58this sense, the unprecedented sanctions
00:32:01attack that Belarus, Russia, our allied state have been subjected to in recent
00:32:05years, this is also, in its ideological
00:32:08core, a terrorist attack, well, in the
00:32:11end, what constitutes terrorism?
00:32:15There are different approaches, but if we consider this phenomenon in a broad sense
00:32:18as directed against ordinary people, then
00:32:22absolutely, of course, because these measures are primarily directed
00:32:25at ordinary people, Russians,
00:32:28Belarusians, our fraternal peoples, to make our
00:32:31lives harder, to make our lives,
00:32:34preferably unbearable altogether, children suffer, women
00:32:38suffer, now there are drone attacks,
00:32:41attacking warehouses with goods, for what, in order to
00:33:15The largest attacks of recent decades repeatedly broke the patterns
00:33:18of special services. In 2011, Norwegian neo-Nazi Anders Breivik
00:33:22shot 77 people, proving the police's unpreparedness for threats from
00:33:26lone radicals. Four years later, a series of coordinated
00:33:30bombings and shootings in Paris, near the Stade de France stadium, at the Bataclan club. After
00:33:33this, terror finally mutated into a low-tech tactic. In July
00:33:372016, a truck plowing into a crowd in Nice killed
00:33:4186 people. And in December of the same year, a similar attack was repeated
00:33:45at a Christmas market in Berlin. Later, this scheme paralyzed London, where in
00:33:482017, militants twice on Westminster and London bridges
00:33:52first ran over passers-by with cars, and then finished them off with knives. If
00:33:56Breivik acted on his own, then Islamists put chaotic
00:33:59vehicular attacks and street massacres on stream, making them part of their global
00:34:02franchise. Behind the network attacks of ISIS lies a rigid economic
00:34:06model. The syndicate is fueled by raw material smuggling, artifact trading,
00:34:10and transfers through shadowy payment systems from some Persian
00:34:13Gulf countries. To block this, the unfocused international
00:34:17agenda hinders. For example, today the European Union and the United States redirected hundreds
00:34:20of billions of dollars to the defense sector for the purchase of heavy armored vehicles.
00:34:24Moreover, this reliance on rampant arms production strikes at the West itself
00:34:27due to failures in supply control. International experts previously proved
00:34:31that anti-tank missile systems purchased by the Pentagon in Eastern Europe
00:34:34fell into the hands of ISIS in Iraq only 59 days after leaving
00:34:38the conveyor belt, and after the hasty withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, hundreds of thousands
00:34:42of unaccounted for American assault rifles and thermal imagers
00:34:46poured into the black markets of the Middle East, with which Al-Qaeda
00:34:49and ISIS cells are now massively arming themselves.
00:34:53It seems to me that this story with Breivik, let's put that
00:34:56word in quotation marks, of course,
00:34:59this is also a story about a certain romanticization,
00:35:03popularization. I know that at one time there were enough
00:35:07social groups on social networks where the
00:35:10person of that same man was actively
00:35:14discussed and almost glorified. young
00:36:16man, I heard during the conversation, I talk
00:36:19to 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
00:36:27for us"?
00:36:36In general, I am against violence, but the second point is because the systems are even waiting for this, to put even
00:36:39more pressure on the peoples, to establish a stricter regime, I
00:36:43want to dispel the mythology, maybe some people in your audience
00:36:46think that America is a free country, no, America
00:36:50is a harsh, authoritarian regime, really, it is very
00:36:53harsh, I have lived in the USA for the last 11 years.
00:36:57I am shocked, because I lived in the USA in the seventies, eighties,
00:37:01I know what America was like before September
00:37:0411. America, yes, as you said at the beginning, America before
00:37:07September 11 and after - these are two different countries. Well, you are talking about
00:37:11the harshness of the American authorities, I would like this harshness
00:37:14and principled stand to be shown also in the investigation of this
00:37:17very historically significant
00:37:20terrorist attack, let's try to dig deeper, Oleg
00:37:24Viktorovich, the migration crisis? which
00:37:27covered Europe, it seems to me, this is also a peculiar
00:37:31trigger, including for
00:37:33terrorist sentiments, well, look,
00:37:37it's mind-boggling that in Brussels at
00:37:41Christmas for several years in a row they displayed
00:37:45a nativity scene with faceless figures of
00:37:48the Virgin Mary and Joseph, well, because
00:37:51supposedly it's politically correct, it
00:37:54seems to me, it's not just not politically correct. associated
00:38:04with the fact that
00:38:04the number of
00:38:11indigenous Europeans is decreasing, but the needs of
00:38:14the economy remain, and labor
00:38:17resources are needed,
00:38:19and in the first post-war years, I mean, after the end of the Great Patriotic War, after
00:38:23the end of the Second World War, a huge number of people came to
00:38:26European countries.
00:40:27So the logical question is, it turns out that
00:40:30in fact, that very quarter-
00:40:34century lesson was not learned, and
00:40:37the system of international security,
00:40:40as it was an illusion, so it
00:40:42remains.
00:40:49A quarter of a century ago, on a similar autumn day, September 11,
00:40:522001, after an unprecedented terrorist attack in
00:40:56New York, the Twin Towers collapsed, burying beneath them, perhaps,
00:41:00the biggest hoax in modern history, the illusion of
00:41:02international security. Yes,
00:41:06after the tragedy in Manhattan, thousands of documents and
00:41:09regulations were rewritten, approaches to airport security around
00:41:12the world were fundamentally revised, but did the world become
00:41:16safer because of it, and where is that measure
00:41:20of security, and most importantly, what organization, what platform,
00:41:23what state, what politician is ready today
00:41:26to act as its guarantor?
00:41:29Our correspondent asks these reasonable questions on the eve of the anniversary
00:41:33of the terrorist attack that changed the world.
00:41:36The global anti-terrorist framework is legally enshrined in
00:41:39UN conventions. At the regional level, operative
00:41:42coordination is carried out by the CIS Anti-Terrorism Center, specialized SCO
00:41:46and CSTO structures, and the European strategy of 2005,
00:41:49regulating the protection of critical infrastructure, however, common
00:41:52security protocols paralyzed by political intrigues, which was clearly
00:41:56demonstrated by the investigation into the sabotage of the Nord Stream and Nord
00:42:00Stream 2 gas pipelines. Denmark and Sweden closed the investigation in February 2024,
00:42:03refusing to transfer the collected materials to third countries. The practice
00:42:07of blocking extradition destroys international investigation. Great Britain has been
00:42:10harboring Akhmed Zakayev since 2003, recognized in the Russian Federation
00:42:14as the organizer of hostage-taking. A similar split blocks NATO's South.
00:42:17Turkey has been unable for years to obtain from Stockholm and Washington the extradition of militants
00:42:21of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, accused by Ankara of preparing a military coup
00:42:24attempt in 2016. Due to
00:42:27interstate distrust, the global UN counter-terrorism strategy is blocked.
00:42:31The exchange of databases, biometric data, and crypto keys between
00:42:34Europol, CIS databases, and Interpol is reduced to formal
00:42:37replies. Local structures like the " CSTO counter-terrorism
00:42:41pole" successfully eliminate dormant cells in the Eurasian space, but these measures
00:42:45remain only regional accounts.
00:42:48Simon, the question, perhaps the main question in this situation, is
00:42:52what is today the guarantor of that very international
00:42:56security? In this sense, a completely logical and
00:42:59reasonable question, or rather even a complaint
00:43:02to the United Nations, to its Security
00:43:06Council instrument, is it not within their competence?
00:44:40UN, CSTO, BRICS, SCO,
00:44:43how, how can one protect
00:44:46oneself from terrorism, if entire states,
00:44:50officially recognized states, have taken terrorism as a weapon and use
00:44:54it to achieve their goals. Well, there is no answer
00:44:57to this question, we can only throw up our hands now. John, do
00:45:01you have complaints about the platform that is located in
00:45:05Manhattan, the famous Skyscraper
00:45:09with...
00:45:40and other NATO countries are the main sponsors
00:45:43of the Kyiv regime, which is one of the most, perhaps the most terrible terrorist
00:45:47regime on the planet, that while the US and Europe finance
00:45:50terrorism against Russia in favor of
00:45:54Ukraine against Russia, but as long as this continues, what can
00:45:58we talk about, what kind of fight against terrorism, if the Western world
00:46:01supports terrorism, then all this will have to,
00:46:04so that China, Russia, India, these
00:46:08are the countries, what? must unite and
00:46:11fight against terrorism, a real fight against terrorism,
00:46:15let's take a look right now at some footage that precisely
00:46:19illustrates, we hope, this
00:46:22new world power, a new world
00:46:25pole, which, again, we hope,
00:46:29is capable of playing, balancing the situation in the world and
00:46:32playing the role of that very guarantor, including
00:46:35of world international terrorist
00:46:39security.
00:47:22it was initially very promising, because there is such
00:47:26a concept as the spirit of Shanghai, which implies
00:47:29an equal approach to all states,
00:47:33respect for their civilizational specifics, their
00:47:36state interests, national
00:47:38interests, and this is very important, because
00:47:42the SCO, as we can see now, is happening before our eyes, this
00:47:45is a historical process, it cannot be reversed, whether one likes
00:47:49it or not, just like the formation of multipolarity.
00:47:53This is a very good platform that
00:47:56allows solving many issues, not only directly
00:47:59fighting terrorism, but also solving problems of fighting organized
00:48:03crime, illegal immigration, and so on, that is,
00:48:07the widest range of issues that feed
00:48:11these problems, feed the terrorist threat,
00:48:14the terrorist challenge, therefore, this is undoubtedly a promising
00:48:17platform, reflecting multipolarity, it is becoming
00:48:21such an important building block.
00:49:55including, we are open to cooperation with other associations, because terrorism is a threat to the whole world, and
00:49:59terrorism, unfortunately,
00:50:02is used today by individual players to solve
00:50:05their private, narrowly self-serving
00:50:08economic and geopolitical interests, in this sense
00:50:12it is very important, on the
00:50:15SCO platform, all its participants,
00:50:19today, I remind you, these are 10 states, but this is a...
00:51:22in a new format with joint exercises of
00:51:25SCO member states and the Commonwealth of Independent
00:51:29States. We also welcome the speedy
00:51:32launch of a universal center for
00:51:35countering challenges and threats to the security
00:51:39of SCO member states and
00:51:41an anti-drug center of the Shanghai
00:51:44Organization. We expect that, in
00:51:48aggregate, this will help qualitatively enhance the fight against
00:51:51three forces of evil: terrorism,
00:51:55separatism, extremism.
00:51:59So, on the eve of the twenty-fifth anniversary
00:52:02of the terrorist attack. in Manhattan,
00:52:06the collapse of the Twin Towers, in
00:52:09New York, at a time when the investigation of this horrific
00:52:13terrorist attack, which divided the world into before and after, has not yet been concluded, here and now
00:52:17we are talking about some kind of world instrument
00:52:20for countering terrorism, about a world instrument
00:52:24for ensuring security, Simon, we are moving
00:52:27towards the end of the program, is the Shanghai Organization, with its
00:52:30Shanghai spirit,
00:52:33and effective format of interaction, which our
00:52:37president spoke about, ready to act as such a global
00:52:41guarantor? I have no doubts about it, indeed,
00:52:44firstly, because, if only because today the global
00:52:48East, it dominates, as you see, the global
00:52:52West, I take my region as an example,
00:52:55the US is practically fleeing the
00:52:57Middle East, they are winding down their activities in the Persian
00:53:00Gulf, Iran attacked more than
00:53:04200 US military targets, and
00:53:08with impunity, the US is now winding down, along
00:53:11with them the global West, a vacuum appears,
00:53:14a vacuum in geopolitics is always an opportunity. I
00:53:18believe that the SCO should use the opportunity of a vacuum in the Middle
00:53:21East, in the Persian Gulf, in your region of Eurasia, in order to
00:53:25ensure security at the highest possible level, including
00:53:29counter-terrorism, and to
00:53:32be an example for... Simon, thank you very much for participating in our
00:54:05program, we thank you, well, and at the end of our
00:54:09discussion, artificial intelligence traditionally joins
00:54:12in, and I will ask to show how the neural
00:54:16network saw and generated the essence and tone
00:54:20of our conversation today. And Igor
00:54:23Aleksandrovich, that very, that very
00:54:26UN at the top of
00:54:29a very fragile house. No,
00:54:32of course not, it's a... such
00:54:35a structure is now quite formal, more
00:54:38for discussion, and also, unfortunately,
00:54:41the arena has become an arena for, among other things, manipulation, we
00:54:45all know the voting on Ukraine and so on,
00:54:49so to expect that in the foreseeable future it will
00:54:53be there, I think it's
00:54:56unrealistic, I don't see, unfortunately,
00:54:58the flags of the SCO countries here,
00:55:01maybe I'm not looking carefully.
00:56:45A view from Minsk on what is happening in the world. The most notable events
00:56:49and topics that are being discussed. Today
00:56:52the Republic of Belarus has been ensuring its own food security for
00:56:56several decades, and we are a significant player in the international
00:56:59food market, a scientifically based structure of sown
00:57:02areas for each region works. it is different,
00:57:06adapted to soil-climatic, natural
00:57:09conditions, today all our developments, varieties
00:57:13of crops that are made here, they are unique, they...
00:58:17which will always grab you by the throat, its life principle is
00:58:21dominance, it does not like it if you
00:58:25fit into its system in some special way, no, only destruction,
00:58:28only dominance, so this fight will be eternal. The Republic
00:58:31of Belarus in recent years in the international
00:58:34economic space has declared itself
00:58:38a state fully prosperous in terms of food security, this
00:58:42did not start in 2022, but all these cancellations.
