$50000.00 doses of monkey pox vaccine immediately to various cities throughout the united states. and about $750000.00 doses are expected to be made available by the end of this summer. but many health officials worry it could be too little, too late. we would need to be vaccinated wildly. everybody to be doing that several weeks back. i had reported a multiple states throughout the us. now, 50000 doses right now. it's not, it's not very much. there is only a short window to stamp it out before it spreads even further. my worry is, if we don't deal with this outbreak here. and now, especially if they do like new york, then we might be seeding a pandemic which is then endemic. and that is the worst case scenario. everyone wants to avoid. gabriel is ardo al jazeera new york.

people will see it was very clear that this was a civilian target, that this was a residential block in odessa that has been hit where 14 people were killed. 3 others in the rec center. but of course, we've seen that vladimir putin has been largely impervious to international pressure over the last 4 months. you, as president joe biden has called on the world to stand behind ukraine. as remarks came at the end of the nato summit in madrid, he said the military alliance will defend every inch of its territory. i'd also promised ukraine another $800000000.00 worth of weapons. the u. s. supreme court has limited the environmental protection agency's ability to regulate emissions from power plants. the case was filed by a number of republican lead states. a major setback for the biden administration's plan to tackle climate change. in c, down at least 9 people have been killed in protest against military rule. thousands

new strategic concept. the alliance says it's facing new challenges and has decided to adopt a fundamental shift in deterrence and defense. but with this new concept work and we make nato countries safer, this is inside story. ah hello, welcome to the program. a bottle of russia is the most direct and significant threat to peace and security in the western world. thus, nature's latest security assessment of moscow. it was disclosed during a crucial summit in madrid. the alliances members endorsed a more aggressive stance than the last time they agreed on strategy in 2010 more

troops, more funding and more support for each other. russia accused nay, to acting with imperial ambitions and using ukraine to assert its power. nater says it's facing him more dangerous and competitive weld as it presented his strategy or the summit. the alliance promised more troops in europe and declared an unshakable, long term commitment to ukraine. as part of that president joe biden announced a permanent u. s. army base in poland and additional land and sea deployments across europe. the u. s. will also send 2 more f 35 fighter jets squadrons to the u. k. sweden and finland were invited to join nato during the summit, marking historic shift in european security and nater sad. it continues to view its nuclear arsenal as a deterrent only while ria to rating its commitment to the non proliferation treaty

. for the 1st time, nate, her lead as vice concern about the threat that they see china posing in the future . so i and i is so substantially building up its military forces including nuclear weapons, bullying its neighbors, and threatening python. investing heavily in critical infrastructure, including in allied countries, monitoring and controlling it, some own citizens through advanced technology and spreading russian lawyers and this information. china is not our adversary, but we must be clear eyed about the serious challenges. it represents. russian president vladimir putin says he is not opposed to philip and swayed and joining nato. but he warned moscow would respond to any deployments in countries that could

pose a threat or sugar for it. so she athene and there's nothing that might concern us in terms of finland and sweden becoming nato members. if they want to please go ahead. but they should clearly understand that they didn't face any threats before this. now, if nato troops and infrastructure are deployed, we will be compelled to respond and kind and create the same threats to the territory that has now creating threats for us. so it's obvious what they don't understand that everything was going fine between us, which it was, but now there will be team chance this is obvious and inevitable in i repeat, if they pose a threat to us. ah, let's bring in our guess in moscow blur dimmer. stutnik of director at russia, east west center for strategic studies and analysis in brussels. there is avalon is director of the center for russia, europe,

asia studies and in hong kong. and along is china fairs, analysts and chairman under long international consultants. welcome to the program . vladimir, the new strategic concept embraced by nature. does it reinforce the sentiment among the russians? that nato remains an existential threat for their country. just by all means actually, and that was not in the moscow choice because nato actually is not like it was in 2010 when there was a summit of nathan countries. and then at that time, russia was named as a partner. so of that, the, the, the present a summit that my breed to somehow could be called historic. because from my mind, this is an evident turn to the new cold war. and in these, called the war. actually, the west and the nato countries are the direct and the imminent threat to russia.

security, theresa, you get a sense in the new blueprint that the nato, that nato is pretty much concerned. not only about russia, but also about the potential of a chinese military corporation with russia in the near future. and this explains why they are adding china as a security challenge for the alliance. yes, the language is systemic challenge and i think there is a lot of negotiation among the members and exactly what type of language to use. some european countries have big investments in china and they don't want to see china and russia in the same basket. but i would say that what really cleansed it for many people are countries in central and eastern europe, especially was the february 4th documents signed in beijing in the run up to the olympics, where president putin and she, jim ping, signed an agreement to say are a statement with many points for one of the key points was that they both were joined together to push back on nato. so i think that the sent

a red light to many countries. and we've seen a lot of cooperation with russia and china to those who have been paying attention . it's been taking place for quite a long time. there had been 3 recent documents in the last few years that they signed together. plus, we've seen russia, china naval operations or exercises in the mediterranean, in the baltics, so they've been cooperating and sending signals to your own. okay, andrew, i'm in the, the, the alliance has been saying unequivocally that the, consider china's global ambitions as a threat to the international liberal architecture. how is this reverberating across china? well this is of course nothing new as far as the united states and $360.00 degree compensation china because the solar starting with. ready the trade war from and then intensified vida.

ready technology war sounds on a c and so but then at the back of. ready ringback in fact the mia p a competitor there was. ready a country with the peer capabilities. ready economics and. ringback in the military, in politics it's not russia is in fact china as a united states and the buying decisions. ready so the united states rather than get there or to play over with all their plans and then concentrate all they have to come from china because. ready as and it's essentially strict to american money for example. ready this i'm trying to see a spirit of it, which can connect, create a company or the united states before even the united states,

their time to muscle response. and of course, china connectivity going to stream. it is a $230.00 countries along the largest trading compared with united states. and then g 7 the united states and lead coalition is introducing this g 7. so g 7, infrastructure project, then it's starting to mid to late. all right? but the met, the war in ukraine has changed dynamics in the region to the point where we're talking now about a ju politic realignments. president biden is saying that the u. s. is going to have permanent u. s. army base in poland. i assume this would be a nightmare scenario for russia. well,

actually i would like to say that this would be, this wouldn't be it to my mind at my best knowledge. sure. are the nightmare scenario bukasa? yes, you're right. a hash out that the dynamics has changed, but that because this is a conflict, this is a military conflict actually basically. and the ground realities are not just like in the military books, in general academy of our military services. so i think that russia is ready for that. and what is more important actually, that whatever the outcome of this or ukrainian or russian ukrainian conflict could be, i think i'm, i'm, i'm not, i'm not sure at that than these cold war which is going right after the summit and which is going on. and then, which will be prolonged after the finishing all their russia ukrainian, and conflict that are in this and you realities in this new cold war. i'm not sure

that the west will be the victoria site, not just like her in a post soviet union, when they got about shot, declared is better strike, or right. or theresa, if sweden and finland joined ne to, than the, the alliance will have a 1300 kilometer border with russia. this could, in itself, be the beginning of an era of a seismic geo political shift. there would see a rush i grappling with the presence of western troops just on the border across the door. let me just pick up 1st and the previous point of my colleague stated that this is a new cold war. we must remember that rossa invaded ukraine and it was an unprovoked war and it's ongoing war. and this has been going on since 2014. so i think to day it with president biden's speech at the end of the nato summit. he,

he stated that last year when he met with president putin, he warned him that if he invaded ukraine, that he would see a united west and an even bigger and stronger nato. so that's exactly wouldn't putin has gotten. and when you mentioned thou about sweden and finland, we've seen a reversal of 2 over 2 centuries worth of neutrality from sweden. they have calculated that the situation is so dire that they need to join nato. finland, as you pointed out, has a long border with rossa. so they have carefully calculated and they have decided that it is far better to be with nato than to end up like ukraine and be invaded and have the country bombed into rumbles. so i think that ross's actions have actually created exactly what president putin didn't want. he's got a stronger nato. he's got 32 countries al, rather than 30. that somehow, you must explain to his domestic audience that this special military operation has created all of this blowback on russia. in addition,

sanctions are biting in russia. their economy is hurting, and europeans will never be as dependent as they are to day on russian energy. they will, it will take some time, but over the next 2 years, they will have to further diversify and they will no longer be as reliant on russian energy. so this will also hurt russia in the longer term. and finally, china can just sit back and watch a reduced, and we can draw. so this will help them very much. or they have had some difficult times in their past history with russia. so china doesn't have to do a thing. and in many respects, some alice have said, maybe she dumping encourage russell to start this war in ukraine. and so china is actually the biggest beneficiary here. and it's carefully trying to convince everyone that it's not really supporting rasa. but as we noted earlier, these agreements has shown this by china, maybe one of the biggest benefactors or beneficiaries when it comes to what happens in the future in the arctic. this is the key area in russia will be diminished and weakened, and china will drive

a hard bargain with russia and may have more ability to navigate through the arctic . andrew, as you know, historically speaking for the americans, the, the 1st step to do if you want to counter chinese expansion is to go into the sphere of influence of china itself and stop in there. and don't just see the invitation of australia, south korea, japan and use it and to the alliance summit as a message that the focus is going to be now on the in the pacific region. well, those talk was the author, the so called port with india. and then comes the idea of forming g 12 of the boxes including even sell career and add to contain china. now

i think that the one has called distinguish between the rhetoric or the narrative and the reality response on. ready is concerned, there was an initial what's the. ready generation we received by them and his team roping their hands in greed as the, as the washer initial kind of withdrawal and failure to achieve any progress. but now the. ready situation is beginning at the beginning, after russia has concentrated on bus and making city. ready gates and then there was a peak setting in, in the west of energy prices. the prices increases inflation or even recession fees hitting the most of the companies in europe, but also back in a lot of space affecting back by the mid term chances. so in spite of all the

rhetoric you can see that. ready was a lot of. ready denial, but there was no doubt that there was a game changer as far as natal sunset. but unfortunately, one of them was bought by soldiers out on the ground. you have its own weapons yet this cyber warfare and cause russia is each countries the largest, the largest law, the largest territory, well ahead of us. the 2nd largest lead walls in canada, united states comes the company in the world in history has ever call washer. i mean, don't even cease and you've been the only redeemer . what would be the next step for russia? do you see them teaming up with the chinese, along with other countries to build some sort of a counter alliance to cope with the growing expansion of nato eastwards?

ah, well this is a good question. actually. i was thinking it to myself on my point, is that my personal, ah, an impression that this is the moment, the crucial moment for russian foreign policy, when all the relationship between russia and later countries, and the more general in between russia and the wester probably has deteriorated for years to come at least the, the new strategic concept of nate, the summit in madrid to says about the year of 2013, or at least 2030. so a rush actually issa, are doing a lot of effort to add to can combine a combined strength for with its partners and allies like, like china, bukosa, china, as my colleague from hong kong said that there was a, there were a lot of duck in answer which were adopted to jointly by china and russia,

though i do not agree with your that the most bene, beneficiary site was trina, and that them chinese leda. she's you being probably urged a lot in approaching the start the are these special minutes reparation. i do not agree with this completely. so and another in the a solvent direction on this, sir. and you rapidly immersion, ah, she sta, organization which while has been already existed, but now it is more frank and the caspian, the caspian grouping. and also the s c o, the shanghai corporation in to zation because it combines china, india, iran, actually with a population of more than 40 percent on the well. so this is, this is good allies of russia and russia will be communicating with them and will

be counting on their support and will be strengthening these groupings. okay, ter, theresa, the, the, the elias nato itself has been very cautious about the need to move forward towards all the region, thus rushes from romania all the way to the baltic states because they were pretty much concerned about wriggling and incident there would unleash a massive military confrontation with russia, but do you think the, with the invasion of ukraine, thou was the red line that was drawn by the alliance. the moment it was crossed, there was no point of return. i think no one wants to see a nato russia war with the fact that there has been penetration of swedish air space by russian plains. there has been some russian drones going into polish aerospace, you know, everyone has played this down in order not to increase threat level. but i think that what we've seen now with the newt nato security concept that this is

a huge concern. and that's the only way now forward is better defense, not just it turns, but defense. and i think that this has really demonstrated that russia is a deep concern. that hard power is something that you know, everyone just that we can negotiate with them become more energy dependent on russia. have this kind of interdependence. i think all of this strategy, i mean, the germans called it bundled to handle or there was political. it was really much really focused on relations with russia, and that has proven to be put on the ash heap of history. so i think that this idea that if we're nice to rather than put him will be nice us, everything will work out well. well, that's been pretty much learned that that was a huge mistake. so i think that the big question now is, what is the way forward? what kind of piece? exactly. i don't hear what we've been talking about that's i think that's one of the key aspects. but also looking at the bigger geopolitical take. sure,

no one can ignore that. china will become or is it something everyone needs to keep their eye on? and this means for the europeans. it's not as burden sharing its burden. shifting the us needs europeans to spend more on their own defense. so the us can focus more on the inner pacific. and this is something that europeans will find difficult because we are in an inflationary period. but security should always trump politics and economics so that i think that's the key. i see your point. i have few other issues to discuss with you. if you don't mind i, andrew, i will likely to see more action as far as this south and east china seas are concerned. well i think that you can see that the united states is now writing high at least and then on the kind of ability to rally in a. ready ship i mean this has never happened before. busy the truck and later at

the time was always more, but now they do have been re energized. but riding high on back is trying to bomb a global alliance democracy against china. so there's talk about g. ready g and 12 of the boxes there is also. ready there's a pacific for structure initiative, but then you can see that the china and russia are starting to push back the i refer to the reason of brits, something with brazil in india and south africa trying to expand the brakes broke as it were group and argentina and also you ran some addition to what's a. ready ready and the various. ready parts, so i think that we can see a growing divide between the west and developed countries and ok benefiting well as

the 11. $11.00 is that the, the but i think well, according to the whole you see is going to account for 60 percent of the world's economy. ready and 30 so you can see that the balance is shipped from the gym in very few words. if you don't mind, do you see a potential for reconciliation between the 2 and russia? ah, you know, yes, yes. despite the only horrible situation actually, which is now has come to existence between nature and russia, i think there are some crew show, boy and soft mutual interest, which to my mind should be present in any future relations between russia and major countries. all right, this is international terrorism and this is non proliferation of nuclear weapons. teresa is the, is nato and europe in particular,

ready for scaling up military force. and we, we know what comes along with this, which is basically great defense expenditure. well, i think as a microns and just a couple years ago that it was brain dead. so i think that nato has come back and that when you member states join nato, it means that they're not really voting for you strategic autonomy that they prefer to be in data. so i think that yes, this is going to cost money and it's going to have to be prioritized, but it's there. germany has pledged a 100000000 to strengthen their own military. so the 1989 peace dividend is clearly finished and countries will have to in europe, especially how to spend on their own defense. we'll have to leave it the teresa alone, andrew, long and bloody emma. so to go, i really appreciate you and i thank you and thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website a dot com for further discussion. go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com,
