lives being lost from. from. from. the from from. breaking news here on r.t. joe biden. the price for moscow's alleged election meddling and agrees with the russian president is. also become the new molds of the codes for live free travel between member states and nor human rights trade priority elite audio expose the u.k.'s foreign secretary saying it's business as usual even with nations human rights standards.
10:01 am
that afternoon just on 5 o'clock here in moscow you're watching our international now let's start with that breaking news because in the t.v. u.s. president joe biden agrees when question that the russian leader vladimir putin is a careless let's get more on this now for marty's and for trying to get. strong words here from biden just unpack for us the significance of this isn't a strong this is very serious this doesn't look just like an insult not just like a groundbreaking phrase because in the diplomatic sense really this could potentially be a catastrophe for u.s. russia relations but it's also very important to look at the actual wording to look at how joe biden said what context so it wasn't actually his own phrase it was a response to a question from a journalist so let's take a look at what this scene exactly was like and. you know
10:02 am
vladimir putin you think is a killer and i do so what price must he pay but pray she's going to pay well you'll see you shortly. so as you can see it was originally an escalation from the journalists he put that question out directly using the world the word sorry killer and as you can see the us media is at it again this is what they want to do they don't want vague phrases about the russian leaders they want labels and no matter who that is in the oval office they wanted from donald trump now they want it from joe biden but at this point it is absolutely clue crucial to understand what the kremlin's response is going to be what if president putin and his team decide that the u.s. leader crossed the line by making this personal insult what if they choose
10:03 am
not to turn a blind eye what if this the rails the entire prospect of a mean thing between the russian and u.s. leaders because to me honestly i don't remember any other u.s. george w. bush barack obama donald trump making that kind of statement against vladimir putin so this is definitely unprecedented and no matter how bad the relations between moscow and washington were in these previous years the leaders continued to meet no matter what where that leaves the prospect of a summit right now we don't know what we do know though is that the kremlin for now has not reacted yet but we heard from the speaker of the russian do work who said that this is indeed something that offends the whole of russia not just flat important it isn't difficult right now because we're waiting for this reaction from
10:04 am
the kremlin kremlin to assess the relationship between america and russia because initially in the sort of weeks of biden's relationship there was a long conversation was in the between by. and well nobody expected much improvement to be fair with the arrival of joe biden but they're always there's always hope for the handover in the white house many though predicted the things could even get worse with a democrat president in charge but for a while we weren't hearing much about russian meddling things like russian hackers like you were saying at least there was a phone conversation between the 2 joe biden and vladimir putin and the 2 decided to leave the new start treaty in place for another 3 years or so on the one hand it did look promising when it comes to a summit it wasn't clear whether it was going to happen anytime soon or where it
10:05 am
could happen remember there were conversations here in russia dmitry peskov the kremlin spokesperson was asked about it and he said that this needs to happen at the right time when there isn't much discord this kind of meeting should be well prepared and now there you have it joe biden agreeing that a lot of our putin is a killer and also saying like you're hurt that he's going to pay the price which is very serious very serious and is it clear it. you know to understand. was he paying the price for i mean i haven't really gone into details have they about the accusations the reports of meddling in the reports that he's a killer but in terms of substantiate he was true as a journalist this would probably be the 1st thing that i asked joe biden why exactly is latimer putin a killer and what is he going to pay the price for so apparently this is also something that has to do with the latest u.s. intelligence report where it's said that vladimir putin was overseeing
10:06 am
another meddling scheme and we're not talking about the 26th election we're talking about the latest u.s. presidential election so here's a bit from that report we assess that russian president putin authorized a range of russian government organizations conducted influence operations aimed at denigrating president biden's candidacy and the democratic party supporting former president trump undermining public confidence in the electoral process and exacerbating satiate political divisions in the u.s. what russia wants to get as usual is proof and explanation how russia meddled how did the u.s. intelligence community come to that conclusion so here's a statement from the russian embassy in america. the documents prepared by the u.s.
10:07 am
intelligence community is another set of groundless accusations against our country of interfering in american internal political processes washington continues to practice so again the question is what's next what the reaction from the question is going to be we're definitely waiting for that and also we are looking at the rumors about potential sanctions because from several sources in the white house it's been reported that they are saying that a new wound of punishment against russia could be on the way so could this be a coincidence these statements by joe biden and that also the intelligence report we will find out possibly in the next hours maybe in the next few days ok all right thanks a lot of us artie's there we can get more reaction now to begin a political expert here manual for man thanks for coming on what's your reaction to the interview that we've heard biden saying that he thinks that pacing is a killer i think of
10:08 am
a new trend we need to russia relations and a new doctrine for united states which is to criminalize the enemy. this was already the case during your kosovo wall. and when washington was a criminon icing. beyond me does it mean a no again. he's a democrat. party your doctrine i would say is not to. respect the sorry international relations but to criminalize it to to compare it to fascists to to accuse him of being a kid or this is not surprising because as this is in line review joe pretty clear objectives of united states i grew up on either but or so over in europe from
10:09 am
one side of. the united states would like to. contain china and russia at the same time on your asian continent and to achieve this objective in neat 2 way if the super bowl 2 of your brilliance and full vote objective then need to depict a russia as an enemy and. then to put pressure on europeans in order or europeans and i'm venice setters in vero grand objective to contend china in eurasia. what sort of reaction would you expect from russia on this i think or if you're upset or reactions of regular putin but boston russia. there is such a cheap pass us. russia doesn't react there are.
10:10 am
he still require a way to his provocation because he's a communication war a provocation under washoe weights. and they read probably your deny of course who will precision zz but not good or react to weed for over provocations and the way to weigh what she's going to come off to waltz of from the united states but also her reaction from the europeans and riyadh going to see if for is going to be. photo by your read provocations on the ground for example or a nice kind of nation in ukraine could be following and then know for. wave of sanctions and oversaw targeting or russia it said if austria if seen if
10:11 am
you know about me affair and assess say your reactions of europeans would be important because vietnam ricans went to and 9 europeans on the or girl about geopolitical objectives yeah i mean do you think a lot rides then on on the sort of reaction to sanctions in america takes now against russia could because that would be an indication really of how serious they feel about the accusations they've made. a faint cure there is not but much of a cunt doing. enough dition to what a spin done already because it will be you see i use sky nation and many europeans done the one to be sucked into where it growing confrontation we've russia because very few of our priorities or. european union and nato member states are divided on the issue but the europeans. france and germany for
10:12 am
example are done the want to be money parade tetum all. or enrollment invests globe are such a guess china of if their own interest and do want to care about such as you step believe in europe but are they know at the same time they would like to run you a transatlantic relationships and revie addiction of biden this is in a poll to nitty but soon very realised but this is america focus which is steve a doctrine of the united states. biden not trump and explicit. criminal zeeshan and disease nation of the enemy like against china and russia is again on the on the taper and they really try hopefully to a bit more their reaching approach on viscera new right now re on try
10:13 am
not to align themselves because curry is not in the our interests there is not but much the europeans could accept nolde or to punish russia because they are already sanctions treece heating badly you europeans it doesn't solve any problems we've russia has a growing fragmentation of europe and mall sanctions wouldn't help but to order crispy shadi because also if europeans don't want to reveal. again at the center of american russian confrontation in terms of nuclear weapons and it was a good news but the start agreements would be there would be more time to negotiate and. it would be foolish to aggravate the situation since the europeans are as during the cold war could be again the 2 of confrontation. will leave it on
10:14 am
that somebody point said good to talk to me this afternoon i was a political expert here and i know foreman thanks for coming on. now the commission has proposed to create a digital green certificate that would allow european citizens to travel across the block without having to quarantine on arrival the move does come following pressure from tourism reline states that they have been heavily affected by the pandemic so let's get more information on this and go straight to speak charlotte story 1st good afternoon again charlotte just run through them what's being said here. through wednesday remember thanks to. how they will. restructure. this is going to. look at the link you. want to also look at.
10:15 am
boy. this is what. president say. with this digital certificate we aim to help member states reinstate the freedom of movement in a safe responsible and trusted manner. so this pass is due to come into place in mid june it will be in a paper version and it will also be in a digital version both will have a q all. we're told that the data will be protected so there will be security around that but countries will be able to collect information only those who are coming into the territory whether they've had the vaccine or whether they've recovered from. this proof will then be waived.
10:16 am
restrictions such as quarantine testing that are currently in place but those restrictions will only be obligatory for that seems to have already been approved by. comes into force for vaccines that are being approved but as we know many european countries have just signed it. because of the vaccine. and they are using the chinese vaccine the russian v. vaccine noise or of which have yet been approved for use in the now we're told that it will be up to individual states whether they would accept vaccines from countries or from areas that have companies that haven't yet. approved and the idea is that this would be normally discriminatory and it will safeguard this fundamental right to being able to traverse across the book that some might say if there is an approval at this point. of being used in some countries that could be
10:17 am
problematic and not could end up being discriminatory. the vaccine we know is currently being. medicals agency for approval and one of the commissioners she's talking at a press conference on wednesday this is. had this to say about the back seat. because it. we could have any reason to doubt it but you were. to. make sure that the ability to have an agreement with. so vaccines have already provoked a lot of skepticism here within the e.u. we know in france it has one of the highest rates of reacting skepticism and we also know that there's been a lot of grumbles about the idea of this sort of green digital set to fit from many
10:18 am
countries it was pushed by countries who really rely on tourism but here are frauds many people have been a little bit hard or slow to warm to this idea adds to the mix there is the current question over the astra zeneca vaccine as we know the european medics agency is due to rule on thursday whether that vaccine is safe or not after those questions were raised about blood clots and other adverse side effects that could all may not be attributed to the vaccine but for example if they decided that yesterday and that vaccine could be used in the future that possibly could raise a question about those individuals who've already had the shot and whether then they would be able to participate in this vaccine at this digital green pass all nor so really still a lot of questions to be asked and all said before this digital green pass comes into force around mid june. ok thanks for the. reporting
10:19 am
live from paris. now unprecedented in harshness how the kremlin has branded pressure on countries to stop using russia for the vaccine the remarks come after the us department of health published a report which tried to dissuade brazil from using the russian job with the story his murdered gas death. we've all heard the bad back to deals to secure that scene shipment countries trampling each other to get those precious jabs these seas the 1st star we've heard of back door deals to deny people a vaccine the us department of health health and human services boosting that it had denied hundreds of millions of brazilians a jab. the office of global affairs used diplomatic relations in the americas region to mitigate efforts by states including cuba venezuela and russia who are
10:20 am
working to increase their influence in the region to the detriment of u.s. safety and security examples include using the office of global affairs health a touchy office to persuade brazil to reject the russian copied 19 vaccine and that is what is essentially a grand perversion of simple human decency and moral values they argue that brazilians vaccinating themselves with a russian vaccine is apparently a threat to u.s. security clearance plane how they just say that it is let me put that in perspective for you we will see and hear of the daily death tallies right so one in 5 of those deaths are happening right now in brazil 20 percent of all qubit deaths worldwide are in brazil and these people a boosting that they help prevent inoculations in brazil with one of the objectives
10:21 am
the and scientifically proven most efficient vaccines in the world these are the same people who claim that lives and vaccines are above politics and accused russia of undermining innoculation efforts it is very clear that russia is up to its all tricks. and in doing so is potentially putting people at risk by spreading disinformation about vaccines well darden u.s. department of health and human services who feel safe and your organization behind sputnik the has come out and said what any reasonable person already knows this is a pandemic that is threatening and killing people equally these. the threat to mankind it is above politics saving and we're talking here about millions of lives
10:22 am
is paramount but the degree of cynicism and double standards here is astonishing see when it's about saving american lives they'll take all the help that they can get remember the russian planes carrying aid to new york last year oh they accepted that no threat to national security there apparently but brazilians vaccinating themselves with sputnik god forbid no no no america current allow brazilians to do that some western states are trying not only to politicize the humanitarian aspect of the fight against coronavirus but also to take advantage of the pandemic to punish governments they don't like i'm not sure gree with the russian foreign minister yes they are politicizing vaccination politicizing lives that's obvious but i'm not entirely sure that the countries that the us doesn't
10:23 am
like that it's them that have been punished it's the people that they're friends with brazilians who will potentially not receive a life saving job so we're fishelson washington can go to sleep at night feeling good and safe well despite its admission in the report the us department of health to say it cannot comment on vaccines not approved by the f.d.a. and cannot pressure countries from using the drugs they have authorized themselves spurning is still awaiting approval in brazil. family is a britons in need of hospital treatment have been forced to wait for months due to the current crisis and u.k. hospitals and i warning to they could be forced to cut more services unless they get additional funding or new data does reveal 4600000 people were on n.h.s. waiting lists at the end of january is the highest number since records began in
10:24 am
2007 more than 300000 have already waited a year or more to start hospital treatment gregory metcalf is one of the patients who's been waiting for surgery. i'm very much in tricycle pain because obviously and if even when sure the dislocation is very serious injury on page bill so to have gone through so many like 30 even more so now probably so the 40 or 50 times is very physically painful but i was very shocked as well to find out about this surgery as well because i hope these. are all types that are not life threatening i really do a lot of i don't know who's asked asked the employees are asked. local authorities or the hospital but nobody seems to know i feel like the government needs to get more than not out the pocket or. just obviously needs lots of money for the people
10:25 am
on waiting list for the surgeries some are specifically meaning a covert operation some more talking about people like myself that are waiting surgeries and all kinds of medical 'd attention surgeries but what we've got in them at the moment. now britain's foreign secretary janet robb is under scrutiny after a link to a recording reveals him saying that the u.k. should strike trade deals with nations even if they have questionable human rights standards let's get more on this now and speak of course on from the candidate with a stash stake. and embarrassingly it sounds this for the foreign office. absolutely and it comes as the united kingdom is apparently facing its greatest threat since the cold war that is in calling to the foreign secretary dominic roth who is now warning that britain is heading towards a decades where in which democracy is in retreat apparently because upcoming
10:26 am
economic powers like that of china are increasing its global dominance in the world in fact it seems as though the united kingdom's own position in the international world order is now under threat as rob has said autocracies will soon exceed democracies. democracy is in retreat this decade the combined g.d.p. of autocratic regimes is expected to exceed the combined g.d.p. of the world's democracy when it follows moves from the u.k. prime minister boris johnson just yesterday bolstering the u.k.'s new arsenal reaffirming its dedication to try and combat and tackle so-called hostile regimes in states that actually represents the biggest shake up of defense and security ever since the cold war so very strong warnings coming from boris johnson also coming from dominic rob but now the government has been accused of saying one thing and doing another and that comes as a leaked all to fall was revealed to the public in the public domain where in which
10:27 am
the foreign secretary could be heard saying that the u.k. should actually do trade deals with countries that have a huge track record of human rights abuses. are going to. come. are. not going to write. off. well as a result of that the government has unsurprisingly been accused of putting profits before human rights but it seems as though that has been just recently so critical and texture lies all of this of course the united kingdom's place in the world has long been defined by its relationship with america and indeed a europe of course now we are in a post britain so the united kingdom is having to look past europe further afield into other areas of the globe especially when it comes to things like trade it's all part of the u.k.'s mission to project
10:28 am
a global britain we heard just yesterday from doris johnson the prime minister's pushing this new agenda of cooperation but with the foreign secretary dominic robb admitting that trading prospects actually could be done with the so-called enemies human rights groups are now hitting back accusing the government of gross hypocrisy this apparent willingness to sacrifice human rights at the altar of trade shocking but certainly unsurprising it fits a depression pattern on human rights from these government trade is obviously important to all nations but the foreign secretary shouldn't be thrown human rights defenders to the wharf like. well the government has actually defended dominic rob's comment saying that this leaked order far was actually clipped and actually distorted the truth but we've also heard from the opposition party the labor party hitting out saying that dominic rob's comments behind closed doors actually completely undermined their public statements at the same time but it's not just
10:29 am
dominic rob who has been accused long before of turning a blind eye to human rights abuses but saying something else publicly. we make good on my pledge bringing to force the united kingdom's 1st thomas human rights sanctions regime which gives us the power to impose sanctions on the on those involved in the very worst human rights abuses right around the world so when it comes to the big security and human rights challenges of our time we need this all united nations to forge a bold new multilateralism. so when it comes to championing human rights across the world it seems like the united kingdom can talk the talk but can't quite walk the walk but this week it really does feel as though britain is going through some sort of existential identity crisis so now it's trying to reposition itself on the international world stage and reassert its global dominance but it seems like it will do that at any cost. ok thanks for the update
10:30 am
