i believe this is the epidemic it's corporate office. from which. of course. to from. a little. it's 10 o'clock in the morning moscow time in the headlines the 27th of january the u.s. and russian presidents talk everything from arms reduction to the pandemic and their 1st call since joe biden came to power. by the news rick ross for you britain accuses brussels a vaccine nationalism as the e.u. looks to crack down on covert exports. talking of the covert job approves and even plans to manufacture rushes. in fact in exclusive interview to us the country's foreign minister tells us why it surrounds

backing sputnik the. russian the russian rich vaccine we have a very bad experience with another western country that i do not want to name. the french quarter opens a hearing against companies like monsanto and dow chemical who made or sold agent orange or highly toxic substance heavily used in the vietnam war but then we hear from the victim who brought the case. in imagine how i must be to lose your 1st child as a young mother this child was journey in advance if you imagine the suffering it was only many many years later that i learned didn't comprehend what kills me child was not that this poisoned.

by the very good morning from moscow this wednesday then kevin owen here without international with the latest from us for the next half hour hope you can stay with music take you through those headlines and more in detail big news 1st presidents putin and biden have held their 1st phone call since the u.s. leaders inauguration talks come just after moscow and washington agreed to extend the new strategic arms reduction treaty known as new start artie's constantine raj cough told me more. well you know given the rocky relationship between the 2 nations the fact that the 2 presidents have talked and they agreed on a major race control agreement in their 1st ever phone call well that's you know reassuring and the extension of the 5 year extension of the need to start treaty is indeed a bride spot and otherwise pretty much failing talks on arms control and non nuclear non-pros proliferation they need a strategic arms reduction treaty signed in 2010 is the only thing remaining thing right now that is limiting the 2 world's largest nuclear arsenals and it's also

provides for a regular launching site inspections of other side's arsenal so it is considered as an insurance policy against a full scale arms race russia was the 1st to offer the extension of the treaty with preconditions in early 2020 but the trumpet administration showed a lack of support supposedly because they were seeking a new deal in stab that will cover more weapons. so the current treaty was due to expire on february 5th which is a bit over a week from now and apparently this was a last ditch attempt to save. the crimean and well it succeeded so that's have a listen to how the kremlin welcomed the news the president's expressed satisfaction on reaching an agreement on the extension of the strategic arms reduction treaty in the coming days all the necessary procedures will be completed to ensure the further functioning of this important international legal mechanism

for the mutual limitation of nuclear missile the readout on the kremlin's official web page and about the phone call describe the conversation as businesslike and frank and overall emphasis was on mutual cooperation and normalize in the relationship between the 2 countries and for example it is said that the 2 leaders have discussed the possibility of joining forces in battling the pandemic but if you look at the wind. house page and the way the same conversation was described bear you will see a different tone and angle so let's have a listen president biden made clear that the united states will act firmly in defense of its national interests in response to actions by russia that harm us or our allies the 2 presidents agreed to maintain transparent and consistent communication going forward as it seems like for by the administration it was very important to stress that. the newly elected american president has confronted his

counterpart on various topics and you know not just agreed for the extension and almost as of stopping arms race from asking late it is not good enough and american media of major news outlets they latched on to this immediately and saw a dramatic change of tone sort of a look at how donald trump spoke to president putin and now joe biden just did. so you know however it is worth mentioning that we didn't hear the actual conversation all we have are read as which is part of you know diplomatic language. and you know when joe biden was asked directly how the phone call went well he preferred to laugh it off. on the record. that. it is important that there is a glimpse of hope that russia and the united states won't fall into the full scale

arms race again but there is a certain reachable that the american president has to follow in order to sell this at how you can see russia experts told us so what they made of the conversation between the 2 presidents. very much the messages as you can see from the u.s. and white house report of that phone call the emphasis was we're going to hold you know we're going to russia is not going to mess with us russia is going to be held accountable for all the evil deeds that they do. that's a message for the domestic population which honestly. you know he's feeding his he's feeding meat to his dogs. and that is not a sign of a sophisticated foreign policy certainly the phone call this early in the stage of the game is a good sign you know biden can kivett around completely and suddenly say you know he wants to. develop friendlier relations with russia so he's going to be talking

to best a cli. as though he's a tough guy with russia but i think realistically the goals that biden has domestically are going to require of winding down of a. military. confrontational attitude towards russia and china in the end. germany has formally demanded that the e.u. stop all exports of covert vaccines that it manufactures and britain's no accusing the block of vaccine nationalism that has brussels climbs down on supplies or your correspondent peter all of us got more. governments across europe are struggling to bring down the number of cases of covert 19 that's the spy putting in place lock downs and restrictions on people like those that we've seen in the netherlands that have resulted in on breasts there and a spot is a rope thing between the u.k. and the e u which is ended up with the u.k. vaccines minister accusing the european union of well vaccine diplomacy vaccine

politics whatever you want to call it he's got a name for it vaccine nationalism is the wrong way to go we've got to make sure we protect our own people and then actually you know put our you know leaning as far as we can to protect the rest of the world to deal with the shortfalls in the number of vaccine doses available the european union has said that it wants pharmaceutical companies to inform brussels whenever vaccines manufactured inside the european union are to be exported outside of the block well that really could end up resulting in delays to vaccines arriving in the united kingdom that earlier on we heard from astra zeneca the past oxford based part based pharmaceutical company saying that they were going to cook the number of vaccines expected to be delivered to the european union and that did not go down well in europe invested

billions to help develop the world's 1st covered 1000 vaccines and now the companies must deliver. they must honor their obligations make no bones about it the european commission and ursula fund the lion personally are under extreme scrutiny across the european union for the way that the vaccine program has been dealt with what we have is a situation whereby the vaccination program in the e.u. is being late silly slow if you compare it to countries like the united states and the united kingdom which is done particularly well it isn't looking too great the way that vaccines have been rolled out across the block and there are a lot of people asking a lot of questions why that is the case it's unsure of course whether arguing between the e.u. and the u.k. is the way to solve that particular impasse theater all over a year of course for the bill to work over prevention next iran is the latest country to approve rush's covert vaccine in the hopes to indeed to manufacture

sputnik the vin in an exclusive interview iran's foreign minister told r.t. why they chose it over western alternatives is some of the interview which is going to air in full here tomorrow. i think it was a public health problem with some political considerations about the intentions of the united states and the lack of trust which is which is very clear we have a very bad experience with another western country that i do not want to name peace and to iran. blood. white us. and so a lot of people needing blood transfusion reese didn't need to investigate it further but that was certainly a major public health problem in you know. the united states did not reduce its pressure. on iraq. it did not allow us to make financial transactions

they said it humanitarian purchases were exempt from their sanctions but financial transactions to do those humanitarian because you don't you can't do humanitarian purchases without paying money and the banks who are supposed to transfer that money should restrict it actually has already given us the advantage because. if had we wanted to wait for the medicine even for the test kits for coal with $1000.00 we wouldn't be able to get is from abroad we produced all of it in iran even even masks reproduced it in iran so sanctions have actually helped us stand on our own feet and be able to not i mean we want cooperation with the wood but we do not want to be dependent on it. we will get. russian the russian rigs vaccine we will get the chinese vaccine we are in close touch with all of them be

real good in the end of a vaccine but our own iranian produced vaccines burned through the 1st cycle of human. clinical testing and we hope by june we will be able to use our own way. the french courts open to hearing into companies that manufactured or sold agent orange an extremely toxic chemical that cause massive health problems such as cancer like in the vietnam war he spoke to the victim and brought the case. imagine a get back to an imagined how must be to lose your 1st child as a young mother is out that this child was journey in advance of the mansion the suffering it was only many many years later that i learned a culprit who kills my child was not me but this please and we're going to be and together this is just the beginning when turn 1000 pretrial sessions to get to does hearing everything was postponed. the lawsuit was filed 7 years ago accusing firms

of causing severe to the victim and the children by making and selling the chemical to the u.s. for then on what use in vietnam monsanto and dow chemical are among the multinational corporations accused further the plaintiff accuses the companies of not just causing health problems to the family but also of damaging the environment non-governmental organizations say millions of people are still suffering from the effects of using agent orange in that war warning you may find the following pictures coming up upsetting 'd.

all the accused firms defenses that they cannot be held responsible for how the pentagon used that chemical in conflict got reaction from french activists on the trial. and while it's troubling to the case create real hope because the 1st president will be created a lawyer valerie combat missiles that talked about it it will show that for actions that result in a friend to human life and the environment you will be held responsible see that's easy they have postponed this process for the 6th time what are they waiting for they're waiting for trying to be dead that the process will be completed. house international proudly broadcasting to russia around the world and greatly your watching hoping to stick around to younger voters and leading scotland's push for independence from britain you've got more on that well that's about brits likely to

lead or not after the break. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those with. low dares thinks. we dare to ask. one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all.

get to shape out these days become educated and gain trade equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when you choose to look for common ground. next to each one to vote but seems old enough to spy for the government there's concern that in britain over plans to allow children to be used as covert spies and in some cases break the law to reveal wrongdoing by their parents the government's covert intelligence bill is making its way through parliament but even the prime minister's own conservative party m.p.'s are wary everyone i've spoken to has been

horrified by it when it's been explained to them it needs to be extremely tightly controlled and those controls need to be greater the more the government's proposing once you start taking action like this to put spies in people's homes whatever the purpose this does have complications it is very important for government to recognise that this is not something that should be easily done in a democratic state. if passed the burl would allow 16 or 17 year olds to be recruited by $22.00 state agencies ranging from the police the military and intelligence services to tax authorities the draft says that using youngsters would be rare and includes safeguards and supervision to protect the children we put the whole thing up for debate. the use of a child informant is a last resort sort of step where you've got serious criminality and know all the why available of breaking into it and we have to be realistic that there are some situations where lots of children are exploiting it or are harmed

a man may be an opportunity to break that ring of this only going to be able to be crystallised by the use of a child informant children if we see them being exploited or the government comes through joining me exploited or involved in any sort of dangerous activity going to that nice remove them from that situation as soon as possible we shouldn't keep them there just so that they can't buy it even gahan looks at the situation of the child informant and ignored the situation of all the children who may be being exploited or harmed by a ring of criminals who the child informant represents the only way and so what that means essentially sacrificing this child just so we can save others this is one child who's come to the attention of the authorities we know he's at risk i don't but now with keeping him there or encouraging him to stay there just so we can save other children no one's been sacrificed no one is going to be placed in

a position where they will come to any harm now of course their judgement calls and things sometimes go wrong well there is no intention of sending anybody child 4 or adult into a situation where they will come to harm just to get information if they are deployed it will be can't be because the assessment is that it can be done safely we're in kind sure teachers after we're done students don't as patients we have to want to know when neighbors immigration status criminality you know who went that benefit fraud all of these things you know what i generally attention should be the government's duty has been put on the public anyway so i think that. strong and i was going too far. news to tell you about the disney's removing access to cartoon favorites for him will be criticized as insensitive to modern day audiences will sask a tele got a teeth into this than looking at how far the rush to not offend anyone could go. i

was today years old when disney took a sledgehammer to my childhood memories having multan over for a few decades the family friendly entertainment giant has finally decided that peta pounds appropriating cultures like that going out of fashion dumbass friends are all racist and so were the aristocrats oh and if you watch any of these films before your 7 years old you will be too can we collectively see you disney for teaching us the wrong values when we were kids i mean without dumbo maybe today i could have been a much better person the disney plus streaming platform is restricting access for the on the sevens to a number of films it says depict harmful stereotypes because if you thought don't buy was an ode to the town or love you clearly missed the bugs mocking segregation in the south bronx or heard.

one. peter pan playing dress up should have sent the alarm to think about was ringing. and shown goods unbelievable accuracy when playing the piano in the aristocats was a bit well racially insensitive. a point but if we're being sensible little one see a flying out of a singing cap and everything else is pretty much a blur also maybe education and not elimination is the way for would bunk in october disney was praised when it decided to put disclaimers before some of its more problematic films why rather than remove this content we want to acknowledge its harmful impact learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together while no more landing from the history of disney apparently new policy segregation didn't exist if you don't. watch dumbo and donald

trump wasn't president if you edited out his cameo in home alone 2 it's all about the kids see one from one just think of the children like this disney producer. kids go screaming hats 1st into the wood chipper so childhood classics getting the full on can't slow culture treatment snow white not to mention the 7 dwarfs are probably that worried actually on 2nd thought that was a safe no one's going to rest discriminate against that. such detail of their leaders in scotland are laying the groundwork for another referendum on independence from the u.k. hoping to build not only on frustrations but also seems new research which says many younger scottish voters really don't feel at all british these days sure there is daschle reports. the union drug could soon be losing its white lines of said andrew so tired as nicholas sturgeon revived the famous battle cry from north of

the border. the good news for her independent star is the 1st minister said i had to in the referendum the bad westminster has the final say and has always told them this should be only once in a generation we already had a referendum 6 years ago and it was quite decisive i can certainly rule out any such referendum. but with the s.n.p. expecting a round 5 win in may let's make the surgeon says hold on a wee minute and the ground is the same defense downing street using breath to talk brussels democracy is frightened of democracy if it's m.p. when the scottish relation in a few months trying on a proposition of giving the people that choice or democrat you're right and in the we have that. public opinion is finally swinging in sturgeon's favor almost

half think an independent scotland when i've done better in the pandemic than london watch response and an outright majority now think decisions should be made in edinburgh i would say as a young person in my focus has really been on money travelling. very very big you actually see the kids given the wheelock and got very little in return it's just a lot more complicated. appears to have delivered it to ever say to go to british identity fracturing it across the aisles and time is on independent side a majority already consider themselves all scottish than british and the younger you are the more passionate they feel about. all this is boris johnson in panic mode so he's heading there on a charm offensive to save the kingdom but considering how he was booed on the previous trip maybe he should say well aware.

that it's not the only home nation bojo might want to think twice about stepping in in northern ireland most now want a referendum about its border the ring usually friendly wales support for independence has jumped from the teens to almost a quarter this month's final divorce from the e.u. already left warnings that britain's global voice would diminish but even britain itself now looks more and more like a disunited kingdom. school and the situation is entirely precedented. in succession suggesting a majority if you want independence you know how over 2020. through. 2021. clearly scotland wants to lead the lynch gold will not. rule to promised all

things like improvement in shipbuilding contraction truman and democracy and truman and none of that was all of it was all. of a lie and that is point people afraid or they want to know the river in their will and they want to leave the you're in speech or would stand again as a nation. while we talk about rose between nations the next fishing remains one of the biggest bones of contention between brussels and britain post breck say the norway's chipping in is the refusal from norway to let u.k. and the u. boats into its part of the north sea to get another complication the danish fisherman told us just how much money it's costing him from this new agreement. we need x x x s to the norwegian waters to catch surface because 70 percent of our cats is from a region waters. 30 percent 25 percent of the cats are from u.k.

waters and only 5 percent of our cats is from beans waters i think iraq lost about between 20 and 25 percent of our of our feasts of our quote of our. 2 cats in not only the u.k. was ross a norwegian was always very serious but these type of wrestles noways not in the e.u. and had previously goshi to fishing rights annually with the block but in december also warned it could end access to its waters over breck's it related delays in the talks the danish fish when we spoke to again says sprint's exit from the union has not helped. now there is a break to deal but. we still do not have access to them and we can watch because of some issues to be solved and one of them is is the norwegian have to make a deal with the with the u.k. and with the e.u. before they only had to make a deal with the e.u. so that's one of the big issue. that's if an hour much more of what we're talking

about at r.t. dot com and of us social media if you get a minute to say about any of the stories you see go to the comment section liz know what you think about it it's coming it's 28 minutes past 10 in the morning moscow time whatever you doing today i hope it's profitable for your hubby have a great wednesday for me in the same. in 2040 you know bloody revolution. the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be increasingly violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you're still here to put it but i mean you know i live with me in the new bill is that i do believe that over the phone the ukrainian president

recalls the events of $24.00. those who took. it invested over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these and i think it will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. led. greetings in salutation. while all of the keyboard warriors in the twitter verse prove you don't need character to waste characters and the talking heads keep wasting all of our oxygen in the game show a political punditry the real world problems that affect you and i wealth inequality pandemic infections and environmental collapse well my friends they are continuing to multiply multiply like the digits in

a jeff bezos offshore bank account and for him my friends did those digits multiplied thanks to our real world problems this week as the world's economic oligarchs kicked off the world economic forum in davos the green greed addicks version of coachella the global charity organization oxfam international crunch the last year's numbers and reports that quote the world's 10 richest men have seen their combined wealth increase by half a trillion dollars since the pandemic begin. that is more than enough to pay for a covert 19 vaccination for everyone and to ensure no one is pushed into poverty by the pandemic i want to make sure that you understand that let that sink in 10 people just 10 people out of the 7000000000 who inhabit this small blue planet could solve a world full of economic pandemic problems using only the wealth that they are earned in gained.
