international very good morning to you thanks for joining us. russia's ambassador to the united states is on his way to moscow for crisis talks after ties with washington hit a new low comes in response to a t.v. interview in which president joe biden agreed when asked that is a killer the russian foreign ministry had this to say for us the main thing is to determine ways of improving russian u.s. dos which in a difficult state washington has in fact brought those to a dead end in recent years we are interested in preventing they irreversible degradation if the americans realize the risks associated with that this will be discussed you're in consultations between the russian foreign ministry and other relevant departments and with the russian ambassador to washington. on wednesday

washington also expanded arms export restrictions on russia the u.s. department of commerce cited the country's alleged use of chemical weapons something moscow's repeatedly denied it were trying to looks at how russia has increasingly become an american obsession. you didn't really think the us administration would all of a sudden warm up to the kremlin with mr biden life can be full of surprises but not in this case even after the presidents of the 2 mightiest nuclear powers agreed to keep a major arms reduction treaty called start alive for another few years something was ballard to go wrong. president biden goes for a big t.v. interview and refers to vladimir putin as a killer you know vladimir putin you think he's a killer. and do so what price must he pay the price is going to pay well you'll see shortly you don't have to be an expert in diplomacy to realize how serious this

is we might end up hearing from the kremlin that russia chose not to accept the insult period so what then not even a chance to sort out anything at all between the behemoths of world politics no wait after agreeing with the killer part joe biden gives russia and his counterpart a chance for places where it's in our mutual interests to work together that's why our renewed to start agreement with them that's overwhelm an interest in humanity that we diminish the prospect of a nuclear exchange but like i said i'm not so sure the russian side will simply forget the offensive label anyway these mood swings are probably exactly what you should expect from how mr biden treats russia and the next 4 years but perhaps these aren't actual mood swings they've become a classic feature of how washington's been dealing with moscow for years there will always be something to blame the russians for even if it means reviving the

election meddling narrative for real they just did it. we assess that russian president putin authorized and a range of russian government organizations conducted influence operations aimed at denigrating president biden's candidacy and the democratic policy supporting the former president trump undermining public confidence in the electoral process and exacerbating says you have political divisions in the us you realize what happens next right the siding what kind of punishment russia deserves although u.s. lawmakers still haven't fully decided on what russia deserves for some of the older sins the bottom line is whether the man who took over at the white house was saying america is back america is back diplomacy is back hinting at a smoother or more predictable foreign policy it could have been about anyone in

the world but not russia unless mr biden confused yes and no or i do and i don't when he heard the word killer on a.b.c. . i guess told us that biden is to have a cold war mindset that's bad news for global stability. i hope that the sanctions are minor enough that this is more political posturing than actually trying to damage russia. the american government interferes too much in in fares of other foreign countries and especially in russia blaming russia for too many things a lot of which was was. part of our own domestic creation are problems that we've created here at home biden came up during the cold war and it doesn't seem like he's ready to let go that make peace with russia and other countries and that's what we really need for the safety and peace of the world in for the strength and

safety of americans here we need to be nicer to the world community and not treat the entire world as enemies there's been this red scare since the beginning of the trumpet ministration we had 2 years of you know that russia investigation hoax the place of the democratic party base to attack russia and i think that's one of the things a president biden is doing he's playing to the base which is entirely russian it's unfortunate because there are so many things in which the united states and russia should be cooperating obviously we did the start treaty earlier this year but the fight against terrorism is a very important one in which both russia and the united states have a common interest as well as issues regarding security in the middle east syria you know has is an example as well the president biden has really got to think what he's doing and you've got to think before you speak because we have a great opportunity to try to turn things around in the relationship with russia and i think president biden should be focused on that instead of trying to play to

the democratic base and yet again you know criticizing russia. their opinion has ratcheted up the rhetoric in his scramble for vaccines commission a sort of on the line said he's prepared to invoke a lot less used in the 1970 s. to ban job exports outside of the blog which doesn't go down well with the blogs allies. we are in the crisis of the century and i'm not ruling out anything anything for now because we have to make sure that europeans are vaccinated as soon as possible if the situation does not change we will have to reflect on how to make exports to vaccine producing countries dependent on their level of openness let's go to berlin now these are all of us covering the story for us good morning peter sounds like. shutting the doors on vaccine exports

how significant is that statement well the e.u. could well be putting in place rules it hasn't had to use for 40 years to block the export of vaccines that are manufactured on its territory outside of the european union this is thinly veiled in its clear targeting of the united kingdom which is received millions of doses of vaccines that have been manufactured in the u.k. and the u.k. of course is much further along in its vaccination program than the european union dominant rob the e.u. foreign secretary on hearing the news said he was surprised at the decision taken by the us left on the line. we expect those assurances and the contract it supplied to be respected frankly i'm surprised we're having this conversation is normally what with u.k. and the e.u. team up with to object when other countries are less pretty quick to produce the

right gauge and that kind of brinkmanship. well it's not just the united kingdom that has questions for the european union the united states will also be wondering how this could affect them because a bit of a proportion of us a vaccine is are also manufactured within the e.u. away from vaccines being exported from the e.u. there's also some concern amongst a number of e.u. member states over the distribution of vaccines within the block so nasty and caught the austrian chancellor has taken himself as the leader or at least the point man on a group of 6 e.u. member states who want to see a change in the vaccine distribution process he wants to see more vaccines involved including russia sputnik the. v. and other vaccines i strongly insist that it was relevant. safe vaccines as soon as possible vaccines that we have the best fits of increasingly though vaccines are

looking like an important commodity and what we've heard from ursula on the line seems to suggest that she wants to make it clear that the e.u. leadership is taking a strong position when it comes to looking after them many thanks for the update peter over there live from berlin. meanwhile the shortage of vaccines in europe could lead to a. vaccine tourism some italian entrepreneurs are even in talks with russia over those special inoculation tools on that story later this hour. human rights activists in the u.k. foreign secretary dominic saudia recording revealed him saying the u.k. should strike trade deals with nations even if they have a poor human rights record. i believe we ought to be trading liberally around the world if we restrict it to countries with european convention on human rights level

standards of human rights we're not going to do many trade deals with the growth markets of the future 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 is shocking but certainly unsurprising it fits a depressing pattern on human rights from these government trade is obviously important to all nations but the foreign secretary shouldn't be thrown human right defenders to the wharf like this while the government has actually defended dominic robb's comments 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 dominic rob who has been accused long before of turning a blind eye to human rights abuses but saying something else publicly make good on

that pledge bring into 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 our 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. we spoke to the director of global justice now who wasn't surprised by dominic rubs comments. anything that really surprises me about this is

that people still think human rights plays any role whatsoever in terms of british trade policy it's only been a couple of weeks now since boris johnson's own backbenchers try to amend a piece of legislation to say. they want to prevent the british government doing trade deals with genocidal regimes and the government to closed it so there are backbenchers don't trust them not to do trade deals with countries that are committing genocide acts a genocide. and the british government said we don't want to have our hands tied so really which is trade policy is it is or is it human rights freezone and dominic rabs response to democracy apparently being in retreat around the world seems to be that democracy should also be in retreat in this country because the tape that he put out yesterday the integrated defense review had some absolutely chilling passages in including the fact that we're going to be increasing our new killer weapons stockpile by 40 percent and this is a deeply government and you know i think it trade policy is clearly going to play

a role in future years in the promotion of british power and british transnational corporations around the world. there are growing concerns on people living at the southern us border of the local officials warned about another possible surge of migrants phillis reports a number of migrants tested positive for corona virus for travelling to other parts of the country to states including arizona and alabama borne the brunt of the migrant influx despite officials expressing concern over the spread of coronavirus recent poll suggests there is growing down to about the ability to cope with the situation on the us mexico border while preventing the spread of the virus my colleague in an e-mail spoke with an arizona town that about how they are coping with the surging migrants. were hoping that border patrol busy will start testing. for they released people were wanting to see what their health records are so that

we can ensure our our citizens are protected this is really opening up a pandora's box in our community we did not see the covert crisis nowhere near what some of the other arizona cities have seen and we were hoping to keep it that way unfortunately it doesn't look with them dropping these migrants in our community untested the biden administration has insisted that the migrant surge is a challenge as opposed to a crisis here green no this is a crisis simple as. simple as that and i'm none of this on border patrol i put this strictly on the federal government as far as the current administration needs to step up and so we're going to offer this they need to do their job they need to have a plan in place obviously there was no plan this comes as house democrats to seek it to pass

a new bill that would allow illegal migrants to vote in said states that whole contesting to us. the u.s. is facing 2 events unprecedented in years after pledging to let in more refugees during his presidential campaign but is a ministration is facing record numbers of migrants we are on pace to encounter more individuals on the southwest border than we have in the last 20 years at the same time democrats have a bill in the pipeline it's been labeled the biggest electoral reform in decades affecting the financing of politics ethics security and most contentious of all voting rights and access the democrats tried and failed to pass a similar bill before it's still as divisive today as it was 2 years ago but that's nothing new for modern u.s. politics for the people act mandates the most questionable and abuse prone election rules nationwide the billboards ensure jupiter it registering and the millions of illegal immigrants a quickly ridged to devote though mr pence may be exaggerating slightly with his

specific claim voting rights and fraud are a concern for many voters on both sides of the spectrum for different reasons and some say this bill violates the u.s. constitution you are overturning constitutional justification constitutional law as this bill violates mulhall residence in the u.s. constitution and not just a u.s. citizen but there are also federal laws that in past that have now been able to be constitutional where you don't have to technically be a citizen as long as you are legally present in the united states disability to undo those constitutional norms this bill does away with state rights and it doesn't weigh with the will of the people this bill touches on many things that are incredibly troubling that's why this needs to be looked at and that's what this bill is an incredible danger to the entire fabric of america so that as i've show one mean those who just slinks over the border can just turn up at the nearest ballot box and vote and if not why all of us from republicans they say democrats

have a vested interests us law prevents non-so. isms from voting democrats say their bill would help groups which have historically been marginalized based on their class race even criminal record as well as migrants who have coincidentally for many years tended to vote democrat some republicans say this sounds good on paper but claim the devil is in the detail take the issue of voter id polls show id requirements are widely supported in the united states but the bill could ban all states from acquiring a full social security number or photo identification and allow people to vote based only on a signed document critics say this damages election security on the topic officials say the u.s. presidential election 2020 was the most secure ever with controversy over issues like mail in ballots polls also showed many voters had doubts about the fairness of the process and the result every state currently has their own laws on procedures

on voting but each one expands provisions for mail in ballots which apparently would have to be notarized or witnessed and automatic voter registration scrapping liability for those registered to vote without being eligible allegedly as long as they say it was done in error the automatic registration of any individual or the fact that an individual declined the opportunity to register to vote or did not make an affirmation of citizenship may not be used as evidence against that individual add to that mandatory same day voter registration correction of voter details at the polls and 2 weeks of early voting and suddenly all the issues of contention last year are a step closer to being in the force on a federal level as the bill makes its way to the senate biden is having a slight change of heart on the all important question of immigration and thousands of moderates making their way to the u.s. border are getting mixed messages i could say quite clearly don't come or we're in

the process of getting set up don't leave your town or city or community supporters . of the bill so it's a long overdue reform bringing the country in step with more than realities technology and values and streamlining legislation critics say it's a poor attempt by the democrats to expire no voter base and many feel that marginalized groups such as migrants have become a political pawn for both sides of the debate both parties have used them in some way or have have been able to profit off their ignorance of the situation and of what's going on the republicans of failed democrats also failed in that both parties need really to be highly reevaluated of the people ourselves need to finally start coming together and say enough is enough with the arctic's what can we do what you really change how this process works worse in such a polarized sidey right now or in such a political climate was such divisiveness obviously no unity at this point with

demonization on both sides that that it's very difficult to come together and to try to amend things in a way. the u.k. government initiative to safeguard women has been met with heavy criticism from feminist groups and campaign as the new measures can partly in response to the highly publicized murder of a young woman in london earlier this month among the measures plainclothes policemen will be deployed in night clubs and pubs millions of pounds will soon be pumped into having increased patrols closing time as people flood into the streets more street lighting and surveillance cameras are going to scripps a slum having officers watch women in clubs as being frightening bizarre and spectacularly missing the point. any increase in police power whether it's an undercover office in bus or the current police crime sentencing and courts bill will eat turning christian state violence especially for those who are already additionally marginalized we need a joined up and vicious strategy that focuses on preventing all forms of male

violence including domestic abuse and supporting all survivors tinkering around the edges with streetlights is an insult to women experiencing violence and abuse but it depends what interest that they have i ha we've seen the police and i thought quite a few times out what happened often is unforgivable so i don't know i don't think so i think i may well say 5 people distrust the police even if a safe around the police is not something where you can just put them into environments like cups and if that wasn't the site i mean especially the minute you know if the problem is that women don't feel safe around men because we don't know which men are safe to be around the a playing top police over us and isn't solving the issue because how do we know we're safe from him how do you know he's a real police officer how do you know that it's not just someone pretending to be one because of the other things in mind i don't see no reason why i should be feeling like i have to look for a plain clothes officer i'll be protected but you don't know who's who i just feel

that educating people from a young age young boys about respect for women you know out how to treat people that's the key really. put the issue a pretty bright. the police have been keeping up survey says the surveillance in bars and clubs and discos for years but this particular idea from a gun which announced by the government obviously 1st to. the safety of females in particular during the nighttime economy the fact is that is our money is not on who is doing that the violence that occurred says women to feel unsafe and to be unsafe men's culture a culture of masculinity surely act stop you know it's not all men who are murders of women but there is a huge amount of violence against women it is systematic it looks like it's

based upon some practice that's been implemented in oxford by thames valley police for the past 18 months 2 years called project vigilance because of the ballot initiative looks like there's been a 30 percent reduction in the reporting using that simple word of sexual violence against women and the mother of the 47 year old son. and i've got a grandson who's 9 those 18 he's my. you know that the men in my family should know about the rights that women have to be in the world in and not to really kill necessity not to visit korean peers but i'm sure later their law abiding people why should they take the blame for actual men who do the damage the small percentage of the us solve this but. they're not

doing it because and there's a culture some men a very small percentage but we're not the way to culture the world a culture in which some of that is the extreme are absolutely great we're not talking about we're all men but masculinity is not good and when it's really when we need some really this is it the larry mention of what it means to be a man and what it means to be a woman but lots of men whether it's well western male whether it's all this little things that are. you know them but they're not led threatening but they have direct impact on individual women and they're sometimes than well i mean as a joke i think it's funny as a former police officer how difficult is it to spot and prevent these types of crimes and why statistically do so few women report these assaults it's often referred to the process of the criminal justice system not just the investigation

but the criminal justice process as well as being only referred to as the 2nd assailant and i think there's a lot of improvements we can make in respect of that there's been some but i do need to think we need to look at what what we call the culture of the call room those sorts of things prevent and deter females reporting sexual selves. with europe's a vaccine role and stock by supply troubles as we've discussed some are looking further afield to get their job a number of a telling entrepreneurs are hoping to lourdes they say vaccination tours to russia earlier this month firms in a number of e.u. countries into deals to produce versus sputnik veach out but they're all still waiting on the blocks regulator to approve the drug r.t. caught up with the italian travel agent behind the vaccine tours idea. in the you're upright now the massive campaign is going very slowly the people who

have been bassinet out they're all part of the population but you know that he's older they need the aged part of the population the 304015 years older 'd that want to be basking it back to maybe they have to wait 5 or 6 months we have not the logistics to program about these distribution and 2nd to see before they don't want to be basking in the sound bite of the population don't want to give us a good week to eat fat man. bugs. scenes grease mass i want office staff to wear for a lot of wear red with sticky do's this week the russian bar scene is so we started to speak with our russian partners this year where possible in the near future. finally thousands of pensioners a moscow care homes have received russia splitting the coronavirus vaccine they

include a 104 year old veteran who got the job so she could safely spend time with her relatives again. she has been living here for a long time and she's only 104 years old when the vaccination was and as she volunteered to get it she feels fine assured getting the short which was done to allow her to see her relative safety she is very happy where. i. am now robson for this news out thanks for your company all returned with updates and often.

when i was choked some seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape our disdain comes to educate and in gains from it because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. debate is is it fair for transforming our fleets to compete in women's categories and sport. as a society we have decided to categorize sports based on sex i definitely need to do

not think that it's fair for athletes that when porn is pile logical males to compete in the women's category on the run. why do we have gender in sport do you have gender categories in sport because we do treat men and women differently. every single soul beat athletes we all have biological advantages over each other. are the thing you thought of me and i think friends are the subjects of a little here because i love to do it. and develop confidence and belief in myself and i've learned the value of hard work and dedication i'm not going on down her up that these men say that they feel like a woman then they will not ever know what it's like to feel the loss of the baby her maybe biological free home of these that they will never do they really.
