7:02 am
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 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 an answered tonight. i'm bringing off berlin. this is the day. oh, i told president boot my agenda is not against russian. this doesn't mean we have to look into issue with eyes and where we live and friendship not at all. so i don't think he's looking for a cold war or the united states because they be both sides show the willingness to understand one another and find ways to bring our positions close together. by said,
7:03 am
the bottom line is i told president that we need to have some basic rules of the road that we can all abide by. i did when 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 by restrictions are now history. we're no longer just surviving. we're not in our haines. afraid to go, wow. everything that we can see, mike is not about survival. life is about our viewers on p b. s in the united states, into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the 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, us president, joe biden,
7:04 am
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 after 3 hours enclosed or discussions, both presidents in separate press conferences, reported there had been there hostilities, no threats beyond that. their accounts are different and 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 and where we have differences. i want to president couldn't understand why i say
7:05 am
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 with cyber attacks, something put 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 at that. now stone little shape. this person knew that he was violating russian law on that. but let me show you should have recognized that there was a twice convicted felon meeting that they did agree on nuclear arms control. and the 2 countries planned to hold further talks in future putin suggested biden, with someone he could work with a step forward despite the huge gulf between them. i want to pull in our correspondent terry shells. she is in geneva covering the sun before it's given to
7:06 am
you, terry. you know, based on what the president said in their press conferences today, you get the impression that biden and who didn't 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, 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, 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,
7:07 am
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? it for sure. does not cooperate. president biting 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 realized that for example, if the u. s, your supply is shut down again by cyber attacks that russia, 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
7:08 am
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 and see a difference in terry you were in helsinki, finland back in 2018 to cover the summit between fujen and then you as president, donald trump, we all remember that. so i want you to compare that one with today's media. tell me what strikes you the most. maybe the biggest difference here, just give me your thoughts. there isn't any way to compare this meeting. and not
7:09 am
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, 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,
7:10 am
going back to the united states. there was the g 7 summit. there was something that nato has. the u. s. president succeeded insuring up unity and solidarity in the western alliances. i think he has grant and i was there in person at the nato summit's and you know, the u. s. e u meetings and at every stop allies were so pleased to meet with with president biden. and, you know, we may, as, as journalist 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 are still live underlying and charl michelle. hey, aren't you sick of seeing me? yes, because it's been 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, 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
7:11 am
the transit atlantic relationship. thanks for this week. long visit by president biden. right. the w theory shows covering the summit forces geneva switzerland. excellent work is always terry, thank you. are enjoying now by michelle guild link. he is a member of the german buddhist, talking to german parliament from the f t p party. he's also deputy chairman of the german russian parliamentary friendship group. it's good to have you back on the program, mr. league. 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 to be the professional, some, it, it was a very important that we hadn't circus, where we had a professional summit with no takers with foreign ministers. well prepared, and i'm pretty sure that i'm president biden. he addressed all the critical things that need to be addressed in private, one to one. quite the contrary. also,
7:12 am
his predecessor trump in helsinki, which was to us, european, the nightmare. what 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 finally to step up to support is the partners not recently? he says, eastern partners, he is referring to ukraine. they are, does supporting your eastern neighbors? does it now include supporting nato membership for ukraine? is that a step that germany is going to stand behind? i think on the long around, that's the we're i to a to go. but what is more important that we have a clear perspective for ukraine and i at ga more heading a membership perspective for the european union natal current membership can be
7:13 am
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 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 in china aimed at weakening democracies. necessitate close cooperation with the united states of america. we ask you have those transatlantic times, have they been strengthened by jo biden's visit? very clearly. yes. in the, in an ideal world, what we would need to see,
7:14 am
what we'd like to see is a structured covenant dialogue between the us and the you will you on the one side and rush on the other side as permanent structure dialect. we are not there yet. there, but the very fact that the u. s. president is visiting the european union and really taking the european union serious as an actor as a player. that is the really a great pro 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 to abide and also now mate in the you clearly is expect from us to be stronger and to speak with one voice only. then we can be partners in be to ship. you know, the u. s. depends on the u. s. on germany a lot and especially german chancellor angle america. and we know that she will be
7:15 am
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 loss if you will be, or the gap be fill once she's gone? well that's, that's the huge question. we have to answering the german national elections or the front runner right now. and the last, it's big, missing them pretty candidates transfer ship in the past was a little bit unclear, sometimes about russia 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 with him, with mr. lashley, we will make sure better transatlantic cars will be really on the prom page of our
7:16 am
relation and, but we also expect the course president biden to continue to his engagement with you. but in order to happen that to happen, we ask that you also need to have the courage, really to speak with one voice. michelle gave link a member of the start 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 have any o we go to peru now, where these socialists candidate petro castillo, has claimed victory in the countries presidential election. he ended the lengthy vote count just 44000 ahead of his right. we rival car because we do more and that's a wafer thin margin of 50 point one percent to do g mores 49.9 percent. she has pledge to fight this outcome. election authorities have not yet formerly confirmed the result speaking 9 days after the poke of studio called on authorities to
7:17 am
declare him the winner. oh i call upon the electoral authorities once and for all dragging miss anton keeping the peruvian people in anxiety and respect the popular will of his country. but custio's right wing rival. would you, maurice, as the election has not been called yet, and once tens of thousands of ballots. a know i know today one result has come out. yes. the result from the vote tally. but the most important thing is the evaluation of the ballot boxes. the evaluation of the balance by the national jury is actually the appeal valid. let's bring it to me and take no british journalists based in lima. it's going to have you on the
7:18 am
program taco fishing more. 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 provided. busy any credible evidence that been various she psychic, that is post on social media, things like that. in one case, she claims that there must have been fraud because 3 people work, you know, one of the bottom stations at the same surname, which somehow she suggested made them relatives. and therefore they went together carrying out fraud. they're actually not relative to the very common name in those indigenous communities in that part of the and it's also important to understand that international election of including from the organization of american states. so said they found no significance irregularities and appraise the transparency of
7:19 am
the way the lectures were being held. regarding whether or not trained to or tempered throughout these folks will be successful. this is uncharted territory for the room. in the last election 2016 maria, also mary laws. and she also refused to accept the results like she didn't launch this blizzard of legal challenges to some of the votes that she's doing now. various election next boats. and lawyers say that challenges without marriage will have to have on the left or the side. castille 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, that he will hug the center more and more. what do you see? so he ran on a loan that was explicitly openly marxist. and he's
7:20 am
seems to think that way is, is a democracy that gives you an idea of where you're 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 be a centrist, but he may be a little more random. okay, so me and take joining us tonight from lima for me. we appreciate your time in your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. oh, life is about seeing people life is about loving life is about celebrating life is about enjoying life is about interacting and now we get back to living in life. the state mandates that have proven right. and correct and brought us through this pandemic are relaxed as of today
7:21 am
effective immediately. that would be your company injury mode. they're seeing the easy many of is remaining social distance. the 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, an epidemiologist say that new more infectious variance could still need to super spreading events. more on the opening up, i'm going to welcome back to the show the if the to me i'll just jennifer warranty . she's a professor at the university of delaware just 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?
7:22 am
they make a very good point in the introduction. we're 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 dose. so we need people for the fully vaccinated. so that's the 2nd dose of an m r and a vac. seen and that 2 week additional period to get the advocacy back up where we expected to do it. and 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, 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 only gotten one
7:23 am
vaccine or haven't made the period of the 2 weeks. because frankly, younger people haven't been eligible for that long in the depth of 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. 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 infection among the, on back to needed in the us with surges among unvaccinated and several states that
7:24 am
are equivalent to the rate that we were seeing in the winter. sir, among the fall population here and on back to native american, particularly probably the most carry time can do for you. but it's difficult for people to see that because we're relaxing a lot of their restrictions. well jennifer, is that being communicated? you know, i was just in the united states in 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, 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
7:25 am
behavior without considering that we're still very much in the, 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 community. 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 variance. we really only understand how much they can be protected with 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. don't say that they will have that
7:26 am
good level of protection. that's also a point that has to be communicated. if you have hand curb in 1900 and recovered, you may have antibodies, you may have protection, but we don't know if you're protected against the delta variance. 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 is always. we appreciate your time and your insights. thank you and stay safe for 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 the fireworks display in new york. we'll see tomorrow the
7:27 am
papers like, i don't seem to hear, you know, the did the news. the
7:28 am
news? the news the the me no more protection. denmark is the 1st country in europe to expel syrian refugees officially argued to syria. favor again. but the people effected by this ruling, or they will be arrested and detained upon arrival. ah, focus on europe. oh, d, w. your brave new world. post corona virus. he's an equality
7:29 am
home office and lonely poverty economy in repeated life and frenzy online shopping conservation. vaccinations sterilization sound when that feel everything. what kind of right of waiting for is after corona and are we ready for it all made ingenuity. 60 minutes on dw. oh, i do wish life. that's what film producer on his own. and journalists who are exploring, delving into history and the present,
7:30 am
i would never have thought that could be live. so i and i was in europe. the 2 part documentary starts july 5th on d, w twos . hello, and welcome to focus on europe. i'm lab la, it's nice to have you with us today. what was once a paradise for sunday? there's a fisherman is now a cesspool and environmental disaster has been unfolding and the turkish fee of mara, blue waves have since been replaced by brown goose, the slime known as fees not is produced by l. j. and as
7:31 am
a result of the climate crisis and environmental toxins, authorities are now in a race against times to get the situation under control. well, the sea of mamma is an inland body of water with narrow connections to the mediterranean and black seas. this makes it a prime spot for pollutants to gather an untreated waste water from the megacity of it's done. we'll end up in the once. pristine fee a burden for the ecosystem. and for people like allie josh quin, the fisherman is fighting for his livelihood as the seas not continues to grow a layer of organic goose floats on the water in the port. if you could up an island nearest on both local fishermen, ali joshua and is shocked at the sight. it's a catastrophe. he says i was supposed to survive in that they threw him into that they'll die in minutes. fresh fish from the sea of mamma
7:32 am
used to be a staple estoppel eateries. but for years the regional fish dock has been declining . parallel pollution is on the rise. never before however, has the sea of mom or a seen this level of pollution. vast areas are blanketed by cease not as the slimy substance has been dumped. keeping we've encountered similar pains of glue to season the early 2 thousands of what we would just rinse, of our net love, and continue with their dig back. then you feel that it didn't affect the fish. but these days, the thick substance produced by micro organisms covers vast expanses of the sea. it can drift on for kilometers and doesn't only stick to the surface. it's a result of sewage from istanbul, households and industry, compounded by the climate emergency. turkish authorities are trying to pump the go out of the water with specially fitted ships,
7:33 am
but it's unclear if these desperate attempts will be effective as the sledge can be found up to 30 meters under water. turkey also plans to modernize a string of water treatment plants along the coast and has hastily launched a $22.00 point clean up action plans on those terms. i believe you will conduct jane in the most the ends of the clean up in turkey ever. if we're just able to, i'm calling on all citizens to help them with their dog to do. but marine biologists like mad gu calling aren't impressed. the waters ecosystem has been out of balance for years. he says it's the see of murmur as can to the black sea and to the mediterranean sea, far too narrow channels to couple of inland sea clues system. and the past 50 years, we've come to waste from 25000000 people into its waters. and he says, decades of pollution have had a catastrophic impact on marine life,
7:34 am
ubiquitous cease not has only made matters worse, it could suffocate. the corals below which filter and clean the sea using the sunlight from entering the sea. this makes food synthesis impossible. organisms cannot produce oxygen should almost be poly josh kuhn meanwhile can no longer go about his work or give us your name will sink below the surface when they do collect all kinds of brian, but certainly no fish. well, it was after 40 years as a fisherman. all he has swapped nets for fishing lines even so he's out of luck today. well, we shall know that i recently headed out to see if you could go fishing with my grandchildren. couldn't catch
7:35 am
a single thing for them if they get to do with all this sludge swimming is out of the question to the gooey substance. can harbor bacteria and viruses harmful to humans. some experts warn that a cholera outbreak is looming. many beaches along the sea of monro have therefore been shut. bali joshua might also have to close his business for ever you look at this wound issue with nature ever create something like this with ice are doing. that is the boat of fuel of that is all on think of 11 the once the sea of mama was teeming with life today. it's covered in wrought for 7 years now, war has been raging in the dawn bass. the region officially belongs to ukraine, but parts of it are controlled by pro russian separatists. they wanted to feed from
7:36 am
ukraine and so far so the 13000 people have died in the conflict. though a ceasefire has been in place for nearly a year. violations are commonplace. while the front line runs between the town of nope, hart scott and neighboring done esque the residence of no forward scott live in constant fear of shelling attacks by the separatists. now some locals believe they have found their own solution to the towns crisis, destroyed factories, abandoned homes and uniforms. as far as the i can see. this is no photo scare. a small town on the government health side of the front lines and east and ukraine. town there was just getting by then was struck or stomach before and over. there were leave car when they were the separatists are like we will be practically
7:37 am
a part or least gotten done yet. it was like one of our, everyone with their to work with us in a lot. the traces of the war bound hearing of what else can jumps do not to jenna. can school was born and raised here for years. she taught history at the local school. during the heaviest fighting, tatiana became, the town's deputy, met her job included, making sure civilian casualties were careful of the daily shilling that gave it to that a sense of insecurity never leaves you. we suffered our last, i'm direct, hit back in february, who 7 years have passed since the war began fresh for you while you were and fewer people still believe we'll ever see the end of this that both sides will re unify miles of trenches and mine fields now cut no photo scare off from the big cities that used to be practical. it's backyard. if ever a town needed to reinvent itself,
7:38 am
it's this one. but how? to jessica, go think she's found the i'll say here at the towns overgrown cemetery. this is the aunts and family young the german founders of new york, the ukrainian new york. that is that's what no for old school was officially called until 1951. the name dates back to the 19th century. one story popular among locals is that one of their founding fathers visited the real deal in the u. s. and returned to ukraine, wishing to see his home town flourish like its namesake. after world war 2. so veto thirties proceeded to raise all memories of the towns german passed. they selected a name as plans, it gets new york became no votes get when you town sell. this needs to be called gardens casa, or garden street. in german. i believe it was the heart of new york,
7:39 am
new york to jones, convinced that returning to the town's previous name, it's only survival is no votes. go went back to be new york headlines would surely be guaranteed music of our foreign minister has already suggested to you in assembly here and our ukrainian new york. let them come. we're ready for them or what it was for us. the new york already has a petrol station, beach area, and a handful of clubs. it seems all that's missing is a baseball team. and the legal underpinning a draft law to officially change the town's name has been submitted to ukraine's parliament and his pending approval. but not everyone says to you on tuesday, as i'm 55 year old because garden is directly on the front line just getting to his house requires upon make sure you spoke. you know,
7:40 am
it's quiet enough today who knows what'll happen tomorrow. shooting never really stops here. no, pretty mcculla tells us how restricted his life has become. the buses stop running landmines now prevent him from visiting his parents grades unless you're skeptical that changing the towns name will make any difference. yet are these i was born back when this was called your, your don yet was still named after stolen at the time, put in, you know, what is changing and name going to achieve economic. we need jobs. talk isn't enough time for spring cleaning of the playground. the towns me that you authorities and all the time, nor the resources for this kind of thing. it's volunteers like to china. we filled the gap. she's there wherever she's needed, encouraging her neighbors to keep on going to never give up. when they viewed and
7:41 am
we believe in this place when there's really, if we didn't, we wouldn't still be living here. you can you, you who knows maybe at the ends of new york again. then perhaps the other side will stop showing up in the cell phone was after all, who's going to want to pick a fight with the american out and then what might sound a little, far fetched, but it's better than sitting around him waiting message. dream of new york than to do nothing. giving up just isn't an option. take back control. that was a slogan for the briggs a campaign to leave the e u. and at the beginning of the year, that's what the u. k. set out to do. but it turns out the divorce wasn't as seamless as might have hoped. shipping agents like rob holla, men are still struggling with the new reality. as red tape continues to put off, the drivers traveling between britain and the u. many are asking themselves how much more they can take. is it curtains for britons, logistics firms?
7:42 am
there's almost nothing young haven't transported from here in east london, the company transports everything from food, stuff to tool. their operations are perfectly orchestrated. and rob holloman is something like the conductor, only now he's watching, you've musicians leave in, drove a lot of a certain weather. they'll be tv to be welcomed and it doesn't face about to have us reassurance. is that? yes, we need these guys here and i've got a work that is not reassure them enough and a lot of them are disappearing back to the native land for extended periods all for good. for decades, british logistics companies have attracted truckers from the
7:43 am
