nanami and it is about russia, slam news, america's decision to pull out of the open skies. treaty accusing washington of previously having only faint commitment to the deal. western allies are also criticised. the nerve agents exposing the regime in new york times. moscow correspondent, sounds like something from the spy reveals the outlets predetermine narrative on russian and other news. a texan with a rare muscle disease comes to russia for treatment after being told by never again, . alan spencer shares his story exclusively with r.t., used to use this all the time. it was of your absolutely necessary

and if u.s. states roll out new pandemic laws of its soaring infection rates, politicians are caught out flouting their own rules. so that thanks for joining us. this is r.t. international an act of hypocrisy, just for show that's how russia has described the us decision to pull out of the open skies treaty a treaty that permits mutual aerial surveillance flights. moscow also warned the move would harm international security. join me to discuss developments. moscow is disappointed to say the least about the decision by the us administration to kick the legs from under the treaty for which as the russian side is putting it. the us has no legitimate reasons whatsoever. moscow maintains that claims of

violations on the part of russia, of the treaty that has been in force for 18 years, have all been made up, plus no one seen any proof of that. moscow has blamed washington for violations to the other side, has denied it, but the question is whether that is a good enough reason to get rid of the agreement. the answer from moscow is no. and we know the answer from the other side. among other things, the russian officials believe that the u.s. government was lying when it said that it was considering the option to stay a part of the deal under certain circumstances. the assumption here in the russian capital is that the u.s. is destroying the greyman deliberately, and that was all part of an earlier plan and recent months. washington has hypocritically stated that in the keys of a change in the russian position, it could reconsider its decision. in fact,

no one there had planned to reconsider anything that was again for the public designed to mislead foreign governments and the public of european states that were urging washington to come to its senses. when we talk about how the americans could benefit from leaving the treaty, it's very important to point out that moscow believes the u.s. government wants to seek some kind of ban by european countries of russian flights over u.s. military sites in europe. but at the same time, moscow believes that the u.s. wants to continue receiving the information from european countries from its flights in the russian air space. so what's left for russia to do moscow says that it will continue putting pressure on the other signatories to the open skies treaty to make sure that they remain committed to the terms and abide by it. but in a case, the message from moscow is that this decision by the americans heavily damages

international security and transparency. you mentioned, european countries involved there. and there will be european countries among the, the many dozens of other signatories to the treaty. how do they feel about the u.s. pulling it well apart from russia and the u.s.? although the u.s. is no longer part of the deal, there are $33.00 more signatories to would that include some very important, european players, like the u.k., germany, france, etc. and they've been critical of the decision by the us administration as well. we deeply regret the united states has decided to take this step and is now implementing it our own position on the treaty remains unchanged. we consider rich to be an important part of the arms control architecture that contributes to building mutual trust in the us to greater security in the northern hemisphere from that event stuck to vancouver. but it's not only that we're hearing regrets from russia and the u.s. allies in europe because we have heard voices of concern across the atlantic as well. the administration's decision to withdraw from the open skies treaty is

reckless. i strongly believe that president trump's decision to withdraw from the treaty is a violation of domestic law. president trump brazenly ignored the law and is unilaterally imposing a politically charged withdraw even after losing a presidential election. now here's an ironic aspect of this whole situation. the open skies treaty was initially proposed by washington that happened back in 1955. though then the room, it only came into force in 2002, but still it was out there. and because of donald trump, because of his strategy that we've actually gotten used to, we remember that he left many important international treaties in different fields in the field of security. for example, most notably that was the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty, but you can name agreements in other fields such as, for example,

the paris climate accord. that's a very important one. but donald trump may be the lame duck president, but again, perhaps this is a step from him that we could have expected and has been doing what has been up to pretty much in the past 4 years. the new york times job from moscow correspondent has been accused of being russophobia successful candidates are expected to deal with. it's called cyber agents and shadowy military figures. the description of russia struck some as more like the plot of a spy, a movie, but is done of explains the fact and fiction and frequently confused by the out that what you're about to hear sounds like it's been ripped straight from the blog, buster screenwriters playbook vladimir putin's russia remains one of the biggest stories in the world. it sends out hit squads on with nerve agents against its enemies. most recently, the opposition leader alex,

in only it has its cyber agents, so chaos and disharmony in the west to tarnish its democratic systems. while promoting its phone version of democracy is a ploy, private military contractors around the globe to secretly spread its influence at home. it's hospitals are filling up fast with coated patients as its present hides out in his villa. i mean, add some dramatic music. do a call video edit paper, the whole thing with a few explosions here and there. and you've cooked up a trailer for the next head limited series on netflix. but no, it's not that not by a long shot. it's actually the opening of a job advert for a russian reporter with the new york times. page searches for unbiased to impartial or balance. come a blank, no results found in the text. not that it's much of a secret though, that the new york times isn't that interested in covering a happy russia.

but some readers weren't that impressed with the sudden spasm of honesty from the paper did the see any right. new york times new russia crisp on in job at these job for a new york times correspondent in moscow is telling and not in a good way screenwriters wanted for a new james bond film. imagine yourself working undercover in moscow. the capital of love to meet putin's evil empire. if you think you have the creative writing skills to turn the monday into juicy narratives of horror and suspense, contact the new york times, we've been in touch with the new york times for comment. you know,

both sides of the story and all that, but we've yet to hear anything back from them. cynically speaking, it makes perfect sense. positive stories from russia don't tickle the fancy of pulitzer prize, judges allegations lacking evidence or though do just believe in the bogeyman. the pulitzer prize winning journalist and former new york times foreign correspondent chris hedges says that the ad exposes the real russia angle of the paper. i initially thought it was satire, i didn't think it was real. and then i went on the new york times website and read it. and it's really kind of an obituary to journalist. the role of a foreign correspondent is to be bicultural. it is to get into that culture and explain how they view reality. and here you have this narrative, pre written, narrative, demonization, really of russia and vladimir putin. and i have to say that there's nothing in that

description that the united states doesn't do in spades and far worse. and so why even open of bureau in moscow? why have somebody spend hundreds of hours studying russian and reading russian history and literature on and culture? why not? why not have algorithms do it? it was absolutely appalling, but it's part of the siloing of the american press to serve a particular demographic. in the case of the new york times, it is a democratic party based readership. it's a way to make sure that whoever they send to russia feeds back to them what, what they want. it takes a man suffering from a rare muscle disease has come all the way to russia for treatment. alan spends it was told back at home in america he'd never walk again. but since arriving in the russian city of pm in october, he's actually been up and about and he shared his story with us in an exclusive

interview. i had to use this everywhere. i went when i was going to, when i was in part c. koon, what without it are no walk with alan spencer could have been dead by now or in a wheelchair or bad band. that's what doctors back home in america told him 5 years ago. i used to use this all the time. it was absolutely necessary. i'm going to go now into scary people walking in an incredibly allen has escaped all those outcomes . when i started to notice a little something with my hands, they were going to go on like this as a girl, that not some sort of right, but i didn't have any problem with strength. so i didn't think i heard anything wrong. 2012 came, i had a fall and i was like, whoa, that was unusual. 2014 i came again and i had a really bad fall. it was like, ok, there's something wrong, something wrong happened to be a rare inflammatory muscle disorder known as inclusion,

body myositis between $5.70 people per 1000000 have it. they said there's nothing we can do for it's completely untrue. what did you feel when you were in that will i wasn't as disappointing as you would think. my father had died of a form of a.o.s. and so i thought, well that's as a doctor said, good news and bad news. the good news is you're not going to die. the bad news is you're going to be totally speaking for the vice president of time warner cable for west taxes as successful man allen had to quit his job in 2017. he simply wasn't able to work anymore. that is easy, was eaten away at his muscles, stealing his abilities and his life. but then he heard from a friend about a clinic in perm russia that could potentially treat him at 1st. he didn't take it seriously. my friend andy had said in, in february there's going to be a wedding, are about this clinic that i think by be able to help you are you interested in

this kind of like, well, not really. i didn't tell him the way to be perfectly honest with you, you know, i don't, i think is an american you're, you probably have a stereotype of what the russian hospital looks like. if mayo says that nothing can be done. probably nothing can be got the sentiment email gave my e-mail interest. the next day i got a, an e-mail back from the director. the c.e.o. actually of the clinic in the government touches me on wednesday and said if you come, we think we can help you. we are not sure to what degree, but we do believe that we can actually help you. a glimmer of hope was born. but coming to russia in the middle of the college, 19th and damage with borders shot and planes grounded. it seemed like mission impossible. back in may one of the gals from marty called dandy and said, hey, how's your medical tourism, but building business doing, he said not so well that started the process of foreign ministry. got in touch with us. it took 17 months to finally come to russia and it was worth every single day

of trying. he says, so they started me on this treatment of injections and infusions. and the neurologist put this magnetic field on my here, pulsing through. and what it does is it wakes up the neurons in the head, so they started to move in the wake of the muscles, my eye could actually swallow better, and i could talk a little easier if i would, you know, world, this is starting to actually work what turned out was we were getting this world class held help in this clinic in perm russia. if we can get travel to open up, i really intend to work within others to people here from america. it's a wonderful thing. i mean, it shouldn't be a secret. here you go. wow, good job. the u.s.

is breaking some grim pandemic records with the daily infection rate. now up 215-0000. some states are stepping up their response. texas, for example, is sending people text messages urging them to cancel holiday gatherings in pennsylvania masks are now obligatory even at home. while an overnight curfew has just been imposed by california's governor, though he's already been caught breaching is only strict. so he's killing more people. reports, he's not the only politician though to violate coronavirus measures. the centers for disease control are urging americans to visit their relatives for the holiday. they say it's better to stay home in this thanksgiving, yet another warning aims to protect public health. we're talking about intensifying the simple public health measures that we all talk about, squaring, steeping, distance, avoiding congregates, said, doing things to the extent that we can outdo his verses in those states across the country are imposing special regulations. but some of the politicians and officials

who've been imposing stricter regulations are not exactly following their own rules . take, for example, the governor of california who has called for drastic action the notion of a curfew. now, before you jump in terms of your mindset, of whether it's a good idea or bad idea, we are assessing that as well. that very same politician was caught partying at an upscale restaurant with top lobbyists. you then tried to present it as an outside party. well, these photos obtained by a local t.v. channel show that that is just not true. also at the party were executives from the california medical association who insist the party was strictly adhering to, procedures. yet none of them seem to be wearing masks. u.s., senator diane feinstein has been out on the front lines urging americans to cover their faces. but take a look at this issue with the only one not wearing a mask. then there's the mayor of chicago. she has been urging people to stay home

and be safe. you must cancel the normal things, giving plans, but she has had no problem going out herself. right now there are 3 and then there is the d.c. mayor and her staff that attended biden's victory bash in delaware. even though the d.c. advisory lists delaware as a high risk state. nobody is happy about the restrictions, but people are even less happy about them. when it seems that they don't apply to certain people, the very people who are imposing them. r.t. new york. in a bid to give the global travel industry a boost, china's proposed takeover bid to clear a system using q.r. codes, details all of the pretty join

me every thursday on the alex salmond show. and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business. i'm show business. i'll see you then.

welcome back. around the world grappling with the 2nd wave of the coronavirus pandemic, the prospect of an imminent vaccine is raising hopes. but there are also fees poor countries might be priced out. discussed by the director of the international vaccine institute in this, the latest edition of going on the ground, the gates foundation. their research suggests that global cova debts will double of high income countries by up to the 1st 2000000 doses of any successful vaccine. do you agree with? that's a great study and we've been using it to advocate for something called kovacs. kodak's intends to purchase $2000000000.00 doses, and those doses will be provided to everyone and what cannot,

is paper the gates foundation paper you quoted says, is that if the 1st 2000000000 dose are taken without any consideration of equity, then there will be a doubling of go global covert deaths, hence the reason why kovacs needs to be successful needs to be fully funded, needs to be funded beyond the 1st year into the 2nd year when we had, when we had previous coronaviruses research funding dried up, which presumably might have made this vaccine. the research has a much quicker this to happen. i think with co that we benefited actually from the ebola crisis. everyone realized was that this is not the way to handle a pandemic. so they got together and they found it seppi the coalition for epidemic preparedness innovations which dedicates itself to making vaccines for operate diseases. so within 2 weeks of the, you know, announcement of the sequence for corona virus or a novel coronavirus. now to cope with 19 seppi have started funding companies. and

so by you know, the middle of march, we actually had a vaccine in a human being. so the world learned from the lesson of a bowl of saudi arabia is among the countries pushing for affordable widespread vaccination to tackle the pandemic. michael excess cattell a discuss the prospects of a jump in the controversy surrounding riyadh's. hosting of the g. 20 summit with the saudi permanent representative to the united nations. be committed $500000000.00 to do that. and we also made an addition of contributions to the award telephone going to zation. and we will continue to, to help in the development in with the companies that are working again. but he says that is being made of flotsam. a person also said in his summit speech that vaccines should be the property of all of humanity, and that russia is willing. and it's not a fast time. it's not thought to provide countries in need without vaccines. what

saudi arabia be, one of those, and does it support a global program like that? we would certainly be a party to that effort. and if any vaccine is developed, it's other events will also be made available to the entire world. and your country's hosting of the summit hasn't been without control of a say to national, noted that women's empowerment features predominantly on the t 20 agenda. despite the fact that activists have spared had to campaign for women's right on languishing in jail facing trial, that's that quote. what's your response to the odds? the strides that have been made by saudi arabia over the past few years are impeccable and unprecedented. we have more to push through this is for women economically for women in the workplace, in the field of education, in many aspects of common life in places of leadership, in government and in business. and it's kind of be judged by the situation over

a few individuals who have come across the law and are being held under the procedures of the legal system. while the punjab in rages, china's calling for so-called, a global fire war to combat the spread of the disease and to allow cross border travel to resume. this is part of the plan president xi jinping suggested then into a global system of q.r. codes. china has proposed a global mechanism for the me true recognition of health certificates based on nucleic acid test results in the form of internationally accepted q.r. codes. we hope more countries will join this mechanism. or china itself been using q.r. codes to prove health status. going back to february, the system though was questioned in the west on data privacy grounds. europe has proposed similar schemes, including the idea of immunity, passports that was in the united kingdom discuss the issue with our guests. these

tests can be a lot of false negatives. a lot of false positives and you are now going to track and trace me weren't going in terms of this town or that this incredibly dangerous . it is not only for my safety and you're seeing in the united states as well as across the globe. the people are starting to rise up saying enough stop, protecting me. i wouldn't live my life the way i'd choose. we not only i was reading say heathrow airport used to be one of the busiest. i've seen 82 percent fall and passengers. what's the way that to get wheels out into, if not a set, a similar system to this reason that travels collapse is not the pandemic because the lock downs. i mean, since march 12th, europe has not been able to fly to the u.s. and then europe retaliated and we can't play there. and now we're living under the situation where yeah, we once believed in the right to travel, but that's been denied to us so many people are being locked in their nation states . right now the answer is to is, liberalism is to liberate, travel,

liberate and recognize human rights. again, do you think that we do need a cohesive global policy in order to try and move on somehow to try make 2021 better than 2020? there have been studies that show the virus respond differently in different regions, that there are different conditions and different places on climate and so forth. so no, we don't want a lot of your standards because global standards means a lot down. in fact, this is just unbelievable. oh, we don't care about cases. i care about the death rate and the death rate is very slow. and again, we have to be very cautious with technology because once we turn the saw, it's very hard to turn off. they will never relinquish, i mean, passports were supposed to be temporary and really bristol stuck with them. ok. that was right up to date business r.t. international. i'll be back with the latest on our top stories in half an hour.

same wrong. lol. just don't all get to shape our and in the trailer, find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground

or yours will pull you out of the pit and demand from them. what about and i didn't do it will always be the good. is it also the deeper that are done or done that you people come up with to do good things to have them have a bad game and the minimum time because i'm not bad with the internet but oh, november bit. if i say i love them, they're down to like about nanami in the middle of the alley,

only thing is about hello and welcome to crossfire. all things are considered on peter lavelle with nothing really settled. some of trump's enemies want the president and his supporters to pay a price for the past 4 years. and hence in rumors of war as trump tries to bring troops home, some say he instead wants to start a war they

discuss these topics and more. i'm joined by my guest, george samueli in budapest. he's an author and the you tube. at the gaggle. and here in moscow, we're joined by robert french. he is a archie, writer, and political analyst. right gentlemen, crossed up rules in effect, that means you can jump in anytime you want, and i always appreciate it. oh, it's going to georgia in budapest you're, i suppose we're entering the face of the political phase of revenge or not to revenge here. there are circles around biden that say that if he were, if and when he is inaugurated and doesn't want to pursue trump, but a considerable part of the base does his base. and of course the media does because, well, trump is the gift that keeps on giving. i mean, their ratings, they should think this president has the f.p. and when is leaving george, what is this? i mean, you know, they, they, they were criticizing the lack of transition. what was they won't bomb a administrations transition to just probably the most illegal in american history

. ok. and they, but no, they want to punish people, the president and people around him. the last 4 years kind of hypocritical, yes, no, that's absolutely right. and what's really going on here is a practice that the united states has the engaged in, or a number of yes, it is not in our beat. somebody, if you happen merely a bad person, and you have to punish that in order to teach others a lesson. and a lesson that has to be learned is that never, never, never go down. this opulence again. so that's why there's all this talk now. i mean that op was in the new york times, new york review of books, the nation that we have, donald trump, that haven't quite figured out what it is they're going to put him on trial or what crimes he supposed to have committed. but they know that he's a criminal, that kind of figure out later on. what are the crimes once they've subpoenaed all

his documents, all.
