2:02 am
joe biden. and letting me put in, shook hands in geneva. today spent 3 hours behind closed doors and when their talks were over, both president said there had been no scare tactics, no hospitality, and apparently no great meeting of the minds either on cyber attacks against the us food and still says it was an us biden's message to him, don't let it happen again. and if it does well, that is the question still unanswered. tonight, i'm branch off and berlin. this is the day the me i told president my agenda is not against russia. if that doesn't mean we have to look into, which was eyes and where we live in friendship, not at all. i don't think he's looking for
2:03 am
a cold war. the united states. both sides share the willingness to understand one another and find ways to bring our positions close together. by the bottom line is i told president, we need to add some basic rules of the road we call abide by. i did what i came to do also coming up one year ago, new york was a pandemic nightmare and the worst hit in america today. it's almost a different world as the governor announced corona virus restrictions are now history. we're no longer just surviving. we're not in our haines afraid to go, wow. i didn't know everything that we can say, mike is not about survival writers about ah, what our viewers on p b s in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the
2:04 am
day with the meeting of 2 presidents and the rest of us wishing that. we could have been a fly on the wall. today in geneva, switzerland, u. s. president joe biden and russian president vladimir putin came face to face on neutral territory in search of common ground. is that what they found? well, we really don't know that the 3 hours enclosed or discussions, both presidents in separate press conferences, reported there had been no hostilities, no threats beyond that. their accounts different then revealed to 2 presidents with many unresolved pensions. will go to geneva in just a moment, but 1st, this report on the most anticipated talks of the year a highly anticipated meeting against the backdrop of frosty relations. joe biden and vladimir putin succeeded in breaking the ice. the 2 leaders met for 3 hours in geneva, over several issues of contention and emerge with a hint at progress. we should be able to cooperate words in our mutual interest
2:05 am
and where we have differences i want to president couldn't understand why i say what i say and why i do what i do and how will respond to specific kinds of actions that harm america's interest. among the issues bite and wanted russia to address was cyber attacks, something puts in disagreed with. and when his american counterpart brought up human rights and the imprisonment of the russian opposition leader, alexis ami put and refused to mention the name of the man in question. i mean, he got a good chillier, get that now still neural shred, this person knew that he was violating russian law on that. but let me check so you should have recognized that there was a twice convicted felon on the meeting that they did agree on nuclear arms control . and the 2 countries planned to hold further talks in future putin suggested biden,
2:06 am
with someone he could work with a step forward despite the huge gulf between them. i want to pull in our correspondent carry shelter. she is in geneva covering the some fourths. good evening to you, terry. you know, based on what the president said in their press conferences today, you get the impression that biden and who agreed to disagree and then threw some red lines in. was this a successful some i think both sides will say it was successful summit because as we heard, both presidents came out saying that the other had been professional and cordial. and in fact that there, there were some, some more similarities besides the fact that they agreed to continue talking on nuclear weapons and further arms. of course, in fact, that's something that was already agreed earlier in the biden administration. but they also gave the impression that they will continue talking also on this very, very critical issue of cyber attacks. now, it will remain to be seen whether russia will stop funding these attacks,
2:07 am
perpetrating them in different ways. but this is something that president biden may clear. he is not willing, willing to let why he said that, although he didn't threaten russia, he made clear that the president knew that the u. s. has some pretty significant cyber capabilities of its own. we know what the, the complaints of the americans are. do we know tonight what the us plans to do to address them if russia does not cooperate? president biden was asked about that specifically by more than one journalist and he's not going to give away the tactics that the u. s. might use. but he did say that if he could, he could tell that in the room where they had the wider discussions where they each had 5 aids there. he said he could see it dawning on people in that room that they understood that this would come back to hurt moscow economically, even even if it's not about reputation. he said they realize that for example, if the u. s, your supply is shut down again by cyber attacks that russia,
2:08 am
one of the world's major fuel suppliers would be harmed as well. i heard someone say today that this will be the one and only time that bite and gives president food and a good talking to. so what happens next? are we in a wait and see mode now? i think we are, and president biden said that himself, he said, we'll only know in 3 to 6 months if any good comes out of this meeting. i think that we'll see quite quickly if, if moscow were to call off the cyber attacks. those happen so frequently that it would be, it would be very clear, very early if that was going to stop, but it will take some time to see if the, the goodwill shown after these meetings does play out in the variety of topics that were talked about also on human rights, so that would be another key one for the united states. you see a difference in terry, you were in helsinki, finland back in 2018, to cover the summit between fujen and been us president donald trump. we all
2:09 am
remember that. so i want you to compare that one with today's media. tell me what strikes you the most as maybe the biggest difference. you just give me your thoughts. there isn't any way you could compare this meeting. and not only did these 2 presidents hold their own press conferences, of course, so they weren't standing by each other. there was just none of the sort of silliness that dominated that press conference. they, they were sort of laughing president trump. of course, we got got a ball as, as a gift from, from president putin and, and tossed it into the audience. and of course, his handlers were all completely, you know, concerned that there's a listening device in that ball and you know, it was just, it was just also, i'm serious in a way. and the things that president trump said about not trusting us intelligence over president putin. i mean, that would never happen with president biden. there's no way to compare these 2 experiences and journalist now we're talking about substance,
2:10 am
then we were just all shaking our heads and saying that was a circus. yeah, we remember those days that is for sure. we know now that the u. s. president, he's wrapping up this whirlwind tour of europe. going back to the united states. there was the g 7 summit. there was something that nato has. the us president succeeded, insuring up unity and solidarity in the western alliances. i think he has brant and i was there in person at the nato summit's and you know, the u. s. e, you needing and at every stop allies were so pleased to meet with with president biden. and, you know, we may as, as journalists have gotten tired of hearing him say, america is back, america will be there for you. but i assure you that the european partners did not . in fact, he sort of made a joke as he was heading into the meeting with or live underlying and michelle, hey, aren't you sick of seeing me? yes, because it's spent the weekend with them at the g 7. and they said, oh no, president biden, we're very happy to be working with you. so i think that it was,
2:11 am
it was self on the wounds of the last 4 years of the trump administration. and people weren't tired of hearing that and they'll be there will be more trust now in the transit atlantic relationship. thanks for this week. long visit by president biden, w terry sills covering the summit, forced to leave a switzerland excellent work is always terry. thank you. all right, i'm doing now by michelle gil link. he is a member of the german bonus tag driven parliament from the sep party. he's also a deputy chairman of the german russian parliamentary friendship group. it's good to have you back on the program, mr. link, let me ask you as well, you as a german, as an, as a european. was this a successful summit and for whom what i think it was, as we heard right now, it was a visa professional summit. it was a very important that we hadn't circus, but we had a professional summit with no takers with foreign ministers. well prepared,
2:12 am
and i'm pretty sure it's president biden. he addressed all the critical things that need to be addressed in private, one to one. quite the contrary, his predecessor, donald trump in helsinki, which was to us, european, the nightmare. whatever. i want you to take a listen to what the foreign policy chief said today about what europe has to do concerning its relationship with russia. take a listen. it, the union must become more robust and we also need to step up to support isn't boundless. not recently he says, eastern partners, he is referring to ukraine. they are, does supporting your eastern neighbors. does it now include supporting native membership for ukraine? is that a step that germany is going to stand behind? i think on the long run, that's the right way to go. but what is more important that we have
2:13 am
a clear perspective for ukraine and i at ga, for having a membership perspective for the european union natal current membership can be controversial. and, and so therefore, we would prefer very much and also my party, free democrats. we prefer much more thinking about the long term perspective for you crane also to join the european union. i think that's much more important. and we should address that when the us president, when he began his tour of europe last week, you posted this tweet here. we want to pull up and show our viewers. you tweeted that today by begins his 1st tour of europe as us president and we go further go the increasingly dangerous activities of russia and china aimed at weakening democracies. necessitate close cooperation with the united states of america. me ask you have those transatlantic ties?
2:14 am
have they been strengthened by jo biden's visit? very clearly. yes. in the, in an ideal world, what we would need to see, what we'd like to see is a truck church, covenant dialogue between the u. s. and the u. you on the one side and the rush on the other side as permanent structure dialogue. we are not there yet there, but the very fact that the you, as president is visiting the european union and really taking the european union serious as an extra layer. that is really a great proof with an enormous program. but know that you have to live up to the u . s. expectation. and that means we need to be stronger. we need to speak with one voice. we need to be faster in decision making. we cannot afford anymore to have our complicated decision making. we really need to live up to the investment joe biden also now mate in the you. he clearly is expect from us to be stronger and
2:15 am
to speak with one voice and only then we can be partners and be to ship. you know, the u. s. depends on the u. s. on germany a lots and especially german chancellor angle america. and we know that she will be stepping down in september and with her leaving the european union, washington are going to lose a window to the kremlin. and she's even been called the put in whisper. how can that, that last if you will be, or the gap be filled once she's gone? well that's, that's the huge question. we have to answering the german national elections at the front runner right now. and the last, it's a big written democratic candidate transfer ship. in the past, he was a little bit unclear sometimes about his rational position with the free democrats . we think that he will be much clearer, but therefore we invest in the future coalition because we are the party of transatlantic partnership. we invest very much as we democrats, traditionally in partnership with the united states. so if we will be in accordance
2:16 am
with him, with mr. lasha, we will make sure better transatlantic cars will be really on the prom page of our relation and, but we also expect, of course, present biden to continue to his engagement with you. but in order to happen that to happen, we, you also need to have the coverage. we need to speak with one voice. michelle gave link member of the thought with the f d p and deputy chairman of the german russian parliamentary friendship group. mister link. it was good talking with you. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you for having the we go to peru now where these socialist candidate pedro castillo, has claimed victory and the country's presidential election. he ended the lengthy vote count just 44000 ahead of his right. we rival kofuji more. that's a wafer thin margin of 50 point one percent to do g more,
2:17 am
he's 49.9 percent. g has pledge to fight this outcome. election authorities have not yet formerly confirmed the result speaking 9 days after the poker studio called on authorities to declare him the winter. oh, i call upon the electoral authorities once and for all stopped dragging this and keeping the peruvian people in anxiety and respect the popular will of this country. but costeo's right wing rival clinicals, would you, maurice, as the election has not been called yet? and once tens of thousands of ballads a know i tell you today, one results has come out. yes, the result from the very tally. but the most important thing is the evaluation of the ballot boxes. the evaluation of the balance by the national jury of election.
2:18 am
the appeal valid or the spring in simeon take on only british journalists based in lima. it's good to have you on the program. kofuji morning. there she's calling for votes to be a no. has she provided any evidence? and is there any likelihood likelihood of the national jury of elections doing what she wants so she also provided. busy any credible evidence but been barriers. she cited those post on social media, things like that. in one case, she claimed that there must have been fraud because 3 people worked, you know, one of the violence stations at the same surname, which somehow she suggested made them relatives. and therefore they went together carrying out fraud. they're actually not that it's very common in those indigenous communities in that part of the and it's also important to understand the
2:19 am
international election of occurring from the organization of american states. so said they found no significant irregularities. appraise the transparency of the way the lectures were being held regarding whether or not the claims are attempts to throw out these folks will be successful. and this is uncharted territory for the room. in the last election 2016 maury also marriage laws and she also refused to accept the results. but she didn't launch is blizzard of legal challenges to some of the folks that she is doing now various election experts and lawyers say the challenges without marriage will have to have all the electoral or to saw him. because do you is definitely a different kind of present presidential candidate compared to those who have come before him. his critics more that his governing will be a leftist disaster, but others say that he is signally,
2:20 am
that he will hug the center more and more. what you see so he ran on a loan that was explicitly openly marxist. and he's seems to think that way is, is a democracy that gives you an idea of where he's coming from. however, one the 1st round. and then during the 2nd round, he's been trying to moderate his positions. i think so govern. he will need to move towards the setting. so i don't think you'll ever be a centrist, but he may be more more random. okay, so me and take joining us tonight from lima for me. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. the lights is about seeing people. life is about loving life is about celebrating life is about enjoying life is about interacting. and now
2:21 am
we get back to living in life. the state mandates that have proven right and correct. and brought us through this pandemic all relaxed as of today effective immediately. that was the governor andrew cuomo there and they'll see the easing of many of its remaining social distances rules as the state passed. a significant milestone 70 percent of adults in new york and received at least one dose of a roman binders. backseat. across the state, fireworks lit up the sky and celebration and to honor essential workers. but summer urging caution. only 50 percent have had 2 shots and epidemiologist say that new more infectious variance could still lead to super spreading events more on the opening up. i'm gonna welcome back to the show, the if the me,
2:22 am
i'll just jennifer ward. she's a professor at the university of delaware for it's good to see you again. how do you feel as an epidemiologist? we've got new york, california both reopening. is this the right thing to do, or is it too early? they make a very good point and the introduction were in a race against delta in the us because there's a reduction in the vaccine effectiveness. it's only about 15 to 20 percent effective after the 1st so we need people to be fully vaccinated. so that's the 2nd dose of an m r and a vaccine. and that 2 week additional period to get the advocacy back up where we expected. where is the efficacy if people are completely vaccinated and then they come into contact with the delta very, it looks like it's somewhere between 70 and 95 percent for hospitalization. very effective. and so,
2:23 am
but the reason that we're seeing about 60 percent of the virus circulating in the u . k. and a growing percentage in the us is that large group of people who have only gotten one vaccine or haven't. ringback made the period of the 2 weeks because frankly younger people haven't been eligible for that long in the delta v areas, it has forced the british to postpone their opening up for another month. now they're going to be waiting until mid july to lift all the restrictions. and they're going to take that time to get more people vaccinated. that's really not an option right now in the united states. is it? does it make the united states actually more fertile ground, if you will, for this variant than the u. k? because the u. s. can't shut down again or it won't shut down again. yeah, i think the genie is out of the bottle. 7 on that we have taken too many actions that will be difficult to walk back. and we actually have relatively high rates of
2:24 am
infection among the, on back to needed in the us with surges among unvaccinated and several states that are equivalent. the rates that we were seeing in the winter surge among the population. so if you're an undocumented american, this is particularly probably the most carry time for you. but it's difficult for people to see that because we're relaxing. a lot of the restrictions will do is they're being communicated. you know, i was just in the united states the last 2 weeks and i was struck by the fact that once you leave the airport, you almost see no one wearing face mask anymore. are people being told that if you're not vaccinated, the virus is still there waiting to infect you? i think that they are, but we have a problem in the way that we're reporting the data. again, we're, we're not reporting the rate of cases only among the on vaccinated,
2:25 am
which is what we should be doing. and we're also clean coming into summer with a lot of fatigue from it. and so people are seeing the opportunity to change their behavior without considering that we're still very much in them. and in the numbers that we have to say in the united states are very good when we're talking about the number of people who have had both shots. when you add that to the number of people who recovered from covered 90, can we say adding those 2 together gives us a good shot at her immunity. are we at that level yet? so we've talked about an inflection point which would be a calculation that would add those 2 together. and that's another risk with the delta variance. we don't have a good understanding how much a fire inspection will protect someone from infection with adults, a variance. we really only understand how much they can be protected with
2:26 am
a full vaccination, and that's why we've got to push hard to continue to get people vaccinated in the us and get them to complete that vaccination schedule so that they will have that good level of protection that's also a point that has to be communicated. if you have hand coping 19 and recovered, you may have anybody's, you may have protection, but we don't know what you're protected against the delta variant. is that correct? exactly. yes, we're, you know, we've had labs, we've had studies in labs so we haven't, don't have enough evidence from real world population to know about that yet. all right, jennifer horny as always, we appreciate your time and your insights. thank you and stay safe. but the day is almost done, the conversation continues online. you'll find us on twitter either w news. you can follow me at brent golf tv. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. i'll leave you now with some images of that
2:27 am
