it used to move when i was a child of me how to arguments on the playground we used to say bounces off me and sticks to you as part of a lot of new interest in labeling him a killer in a recent t.v. interview we looked at whether the american president promised that the problem you see his back was in fact a stab in the back also to come. in the crisis of the century. and i'm not ruling out anything anything except for now the european union threatens its allies with the coby vaccine export plan in a bid to fix its own floundering job while other e.u. states call for russia's sputnik thing to be approved for use and the u.k. should strike trade deals with countries even if they have
11:01 am
a poor human rights record that's according to elites recording of the u.k. foreign secretary. to. their 6 pm in moscow you're watching r.t. international. peyton has responded to being labeled a killer by his american counterpart joe biden during a recent t.v. interview. so. just a little. i would wish him good health i'm not joking i mean it secondly i want to say that's in the history of every country there are many tragic and dramatic events but when we judge people or the nations we look into a mirror we see ourselves we impose on others what's we see in ourselves when i was a child and we had arguments in the playground we used to say bounces off me and
11:02 am
sticks to you and it's not just the children saying the meaning is very deep. response to this bombshell remarks made by joe biden was highly anticipated and everyone's been here is swap the russian president would say to this and how it's going to affect the relationship between the 2 countries well for now it definitely seems that mr putin has chosen not to get deeper down and this war of words and undiplomatic statements but you know at the same time he had everyone know that he is under no illusion about the nature of the u.s. policy towards russia. is that you missed that. the united states government's wants to maintain such relations with us it's only issues of interest to the united states itself and on that terms they think we just like them but with difference we have a different genetic and cultural moral code but we know how to protect our interests yes we'll work with them but in areas that are of interest to us on terms of benefits and they will have to deal with it well this whole story is started when
11:03 am
joe biden was asked if he considers vladimir putin a killer in an air of you a few days ago when the reply was unprecedented even for russia and the u.s. with all their tough recent history so let's have a listen to the segment you know vladimir putin you think is a killer. or do so what price must he pay the price is going to pay well you'll see shortly well the harsh statements and the relationship between the 2 nations to a new low before that biden's administration announced a new wave of anti russian sanctions which included a blanket ban on important export of weapons and military technology to russia washington cited the alleged meddling in the presidential elections as one of the reasons only this time around we're talking about 2020 elections not 2016 and i would say hard to mix it all up given this never ending stream of accusations leveled against russia in the recent years and russian ambassador by the way
11:04 am
russian ambassador to the u.s. is now on his way back to moscow for consultations it's one of the diplomatic moves that russian side made to show does not take all that lightly and it will adjust its policy accordingly and according to the russian foreign ministry statement it's the u.s. to blame for bringing the relationship between the 2 countries in a quote dead end. constant rushkoff that would have political analyst patrick henningsen and journalist both really think us the primacy is currently has an all time life i think that president putin comes out of this whole exchange with tremendous credit he stay classy is i mean when you look at what joe biden said you know you could argue this is projection set lee because when you think of biden's record we talk about killers and we talk about deaths well he just about support every walk of it so to have this man use this kind of language that really is tells
11:05 am
everything we need to know about the degradation of the office of the president the u.s. it is ironic this comes out of donald trump these office we were told don't trump was the walk it was bringing america into disrepute and yet we get biden coming in just a few weeks off because the president according another world leader killa well really it is time so i think what's really gone badly wrong with western. look we took atlanta see a total lack of diplomacy in recent years just compare the 2 in this exchange and it really tells you all you need to know about you know the u.s. president the state of the white house right now in terms of foreign policy so this is the only thing that biden can do to i guess throw a solid to his base to throw a solid back to the media that really carried the russia gate narrative for for 5 years so it's sad but i'm not surprised that they're going to have to come to terms of the fact that this is a collapsed narrative they're addicted to this russia gave narrative and then
11:06 am
there's nothing they don't have anything to go forward with in terms of diplomacy or really original thinking. european union has threatened its allies with the vaccine export ban in the latest twist in the blocks troubled inoculation campaign commissioner on the line said that she is prepared to invoke a law last used 50 years ago to stop vaccines made in europe from being sent outside the block. 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 another day another scandal involving vaccines
11:07 am
in the european union this time there's been an increase in the language that's been used from the e.u. commission president on the law and she said that the block may well put in place rules that they haven't used special measures that they haven't used since the 1970 s. in order to block the export of vaccines that are manufactured or in e.u. territory now this is very thinly veiled and how it's targeted the united kingdom in particular when you look at the numbers it's quite clear since the vaccine started being rolled out around 9000000 also vaccines have been exported from the e.u. into the u.k. the row have gone the other way for a manufacturer is in the united kingdom to the e.u. so what the e.u. is saying is that they need to keep those vaccines inside their own territory for use on their own citizens now that hasn't gone down very well in the united kingdom
11:08 am
i'm surprised we're having this conversation is normally what would you care that you team up with to object when other countries are less pretty quick to produce the right gauge and that kind of brinkmanship it's not just the united kingdom will be asking a few questions of the e.u. over this the united states as well receives vaccines manufactured inside the e.u. both inside the e.u. there's also division when it comes to the distribution of vaccines sebastien courts the austrian chancellor heading up agree. 6 e.u. member states he want to see a change in the way it's done he says it's too open to back door deals when it comes to who gets vaccines when he also says that the e.u. needs to approve more vaccines for use in the fight against covert 19 and he's got his eyes on russia's sputnik v. job concerning sputnik vi and other vaccines i strongly insist that the relevant e.u. bodies issue an authorization for safe vaccines as soon as possible the more vaccines
11:09 am
we have the better for the world health organization just published a damning report into failings by the e.u. when it comes to dealing with the pandemic in the list of things that the e.u. needs to do fighting with its allies over vaccine production wasn't there what could help though would be approving more vaccines so that more people across the european union can receive that job peter all reporting that when we spoke to the head of a conservative think tank in italy he says that bureaucracy is at the core of europe's vaccination problems. the european union it's a very low ante we we need that as soon as possible and we are leaving iraq of vaccine because of the political choice of the european union the problem of this situation is illegal not that we national state is linked with the book sir that we're ocracy we have
11:10 am
a 2 star that using this book nick and because of our country all over all that maybe 40 countries all over the world that use this book and the sputnik is the same vox's so i don't understand why the european union is so slow to approve the use of this bought me inside the european union. sacrificing human rights at the altar of trade that's what the u.k. foreign secretary has been accused of by rights groups after elite recording revealed that he wants the u.k. to strike deals with countries 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 the 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 and now hitting back accusing the government of gross hypocrisy this
11:11 am
apparent willingness to sacrifice human rights at the altar of trade is 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 right defenders to the wharf like this while 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 robb'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
11:12 am
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. but britain does have trade deals worth billions of pounds with countries topping the list of human rights violators in the last 4 years for example saudi arabia carried out over 500 executions as capital punishment while in india in 2020 there were over 1300 deaths in judicial custody we spoke to the director of global justice now who wasn't surprised by dominic
11:13 am
robb's 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 coast it so there are backbenchers don't trust them not to do trade deals with countries that are committing genocide acts of genocide. and the british government said we don't want to have our hands tied so really which is trade policy it's human rights free zone and dominic rabs response to democracy apparently being in retreat around the world seems to be that democracy should also be a retreat in this country because the fate that he put out yesterday the integrated defense route you had some absolutely chilling passages in including the fact that we're going to be increasing our nuclear weapons stockpile by 40 percent this is
11:14 am
a deeply liberal government and you know i think that 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. the deadline has fast approaching for the u.s. troop withdrawal from half ghana stand shuttle from a the 1st however the new u.s. administration does indicate that the goal could be difficult to change from the afghan government and the taliban a current meeting in moscow to try and reboot the peace process speaking at the gathering the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov called on both sides to deescalate tensions with that is the order we encourage both sides to remain committed to the provisions of the doha document supported by the u.n. security council resolution we are convinced that given the deterioration of the military and political situation further delays are an acceptable we urge the opposing sides to reduce the level of violence in the country where we are
11:15 am
expecting media briefing in the coming hours to the missing as it starts we'll go straight to it now on the sidelines of the talks is artie's murder against the f. he sent this report. these talks are supposed to restart the peace process restart negotiations give it a much needed boost the do have agreements between the trumpet ministration and taliban which stipulated by the way that the taliban on its part would avoid attacking american foreign troops and also make sure that its territory isn't used to launch attacks on the united states the united states on its part would make sure that it doesn't strike the taliban needlessly so that it would pull out all its troops by may 1st it appears that it be doing that. biden joe biden says that that is increasingly tough to do and the taliban says there is no alternative. all foreign troops must do with drawn from our country this issue has
11:16 am
been resolved once and for all we have been negotiating with the americans for over 18 months so this is she has finally been resolved all foreign troops must leave our country at the end of april there are a number of reasons being discussed why the united states is making on its part of the deal why it's refusing to pull the troops out perhaps it would it would the deprive them of leverage over the taliban over negotiations with the taliban another theory that's going around is the total trump administration simply didn't pass on the details or didn't carry out an orderly transition of power to the biden administration they've been left in a tough spot nevertheless the afghan government doesn't want foreign troops gone because the taliban obviously is already in control of much of the country and there are fears that it would take over the rest of the foreign troops left i think as long as we we have our international engagement with the u.s.
11:17 am
as long as we have the b.s.a. active as long as we have the strategic military engagement with our partners and allies. certainly we will be able to defend the taliban and they will not be able to make significant progress reiterate these talks are supposed to replace the old sideline other negotiations such as those in doha what they are supposed to do is get the 2 sides to talk to each other the united states for its part is still seemingly confused unsure itself whether it will abide by this peace agreement or bullets troops out or whether those troops stay in of gotta start after 20 years of war whether that stay will be prolonged we're reviewing our own troops including may 1st deadline we haven't made any decisions yet about that
11:18 am
point of these talks isn't to come towards solution or to come to a peace deal the point is to facilitate dialogue and negotiations something that has been unfortunately lacking for many years in the afghan process. now authorities at the u.s. southern border a calling on the government to step in as the region faces a record influx of migrants the u.s. border patrol is struggling to provide cave secure shelter for thousands of people and the man have a town in arizona told us that the crisis is unprecedented. 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 border states including arizona and alabama have borne the brunt of the
11:19 am
migrant influx a recent poll just suggesting there's grabbing back to back even if the the authorities to come put the situation on the us mexico border amid the pandemic by the administration has deployed the disaster agency freema to try and deal with the situation makris rig zag and i believe that the federal government wasn't prepared for such just in numbers there is definitely the concern of cove and. how that it's going to impact my community i have a large number of seniors and elders that. this could really affect so we're hoping that border patrol 'd will start testing and before they release people were wanting to see what their health records are so that we can ensure that our our citizens are protected that this is a crisis simple as that and i'm putting none of this on border patrol i put this
11:20 am
strictly on the federal government as far as the current administration needs to step up and 3rd going to offer this they need to do their job they need to have a plan in place obviously there was no plan. now if europe's vaccine rollout don't buy surprise troubles some are looking further afield to get their job a number of italian entrepreneurs are in fact hoping to launch vaccine tours to russia earlier this month berms in a number of e.u. countries doing deals to produce russia's but every jap but they're all still waiting on the blocks regulator as we said earlier to approve the drug assay caught up with the italian travel agent behind the vaccine tour idea. and in the you're upright to now is the classic opinion is going very slowly the people who have been bassinet out the old part of the population but you know all
11:21 am
these old they need the aged part of the population the 304050 years older that want to give us the need but maybe they have to wait 5 or 6 months we have not the logistics to program about these distribution and 2nd our seed before they don't want to be basking in the sound bite of the population don't want to give us a week to beat farm out. rockets. being 30 degrees minus our office staff to wear for a lot of wear red with sticky d.d. this week the russian bar scene is so we started to speak with our russian partners this year where possible in the near future. while here in russia thousands of pensioners in moscow care homes have received sputnik 3 including 104 year old veteran who got the job so she could safely get back to spending some quality time
11:22 am
with her family. she has been living here for a long time hen she's a new 104 years old when the vaccination was announced she volunteered to get it she feels fine assured getting the shot which was done to allow her to see her relative safety she's very happy. with. this our russia is celebrating the 7th anniversary of the reunification with crimea after months of political turmoil and civil unrest in ukraine the southern region voted by more than 96 percent to break away and rejoin mine and for russia what are these and on kosofsky spoke to one of the most prominent thinkers of the time the
11:23 am
tahlia skull we should have 7 years of past do you regret anything. about the referendum no definitely no yet grimshaw crimean feel things are better in reality different things than the crimean referendum here's the date of the anniversary of the crimean referendum we're all happy because we defined as something of ours we had one goal we were move into words this noble goal talk to me is me needed swaptions 3 how did the mood change in general i remember the joy with which crimea joined but what 7 years later do they now think in crimea about this obviously some new understanding is come. no pride in the referendum but a desire to establish a dialogue with ukraine how the rights of the crimean people effected no question but isn't it of course they are affected because crimea is can't get some kind of fees or to go somewhere crimea or special people with
11:24 am
a special status quo limited and rise the tie available to any other person live in either in mainland russia or in ukraine it means for the choice for they political views crimean still bear such restrictions. do people regret it. of course people are worried and people are waiting to begin to leave normally like everyone else for the most part is how can this happen and not get in the probably only when it's not just moscow in kiev being listen to the results and need to ask crimean stem cells like what happened here they say you have been annexed and we would say to the international community dear colleagues fellow citizens friends we're not and next we're stupidly abandon in 2014 those people who seized power in kiev forced us into holding a referendum we defended our lives and turned to a large amount putin and we were really hoping that she would not abandon us
11:25 am
because they had already abandoned us in key if he didn't abandon us. as the international just commit to help us except moscow thanks for your time saving we'll be back again with more stories in just over half left. one of the worst mass shootings in america wasn't less vigorous in 2017 the tragedy exposed a little of the real last big where many say elected officials are controlled by can see you know. his shooting reveal what. really and now it's part of the stand is sheen the american public barely remembers that it happened just shows you the power of money and. the powerful showed that true
11:26 am
colors when the pandemic hit the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades and then you have a mayor who doesn't care caroline goodman offering the lives of the vegas residents to be the control group. deep indifference to the people could have been saved if they would have taken action absolutely keep the roads shrinking machines doing base is a money machine it's a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives. you know borders to nationalities. has emerged. world to.
11:27 am
come in every crisis with dissidents and. we can do better we should. everyone is contributing. but we also know that this crisis. will not go on forever the challenges created the response has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. max kaiser this is the kaiser report some much to get to important stuff let's check in with stacey maxwell we have a headline here suggesting that the bank of america analysts are ready to take on
11:28 am
the widow maker and that is betting against u.s. government bonds which have been in a bull market over what 45 years something like that a long time many decades so bank of america we believe we are at a secular turning point for both inflation and interest rates with quote new central bank mandates excess fiscal stimulus including u.b.i. less globalization fading deflation from disruption and demographics the 40 year bull market in bonds is over they say they say it's over max and here is their charts looking at that top dark blue line is deflation assets and how they have performed over the past few decades and they outperform the inflation assets we've been having deflation they say and they count inflation assets which they
11:29 am
predict will outperform the next 10 years commodities real estate tips e.a.a. f e us banks value and cash which is where to put cash of course in inflation asset. is europe a strong australia a. far east deflation assets are government bonds us and investment grade s. and p. 500 u.s. consumer discretionary growth and u.s. high yield bonds. well this is the big one the big onto a lot of the big bull market over the past 40 years that has been the foundation upon which the economy around the world particularly in the united states has been built because with that big. deflation trade as it's being referred to you end up having. lower interest rates lower interest rates that's the key that's been keeping the american dominance rolling for 40 years
11:30 am
because every time there's a mistake like in 2008 for example or the dot com crash or the stock market crash of 1907 or the bull market crash of 1903 the answer has always been to extend and pretend and that means to extend the maturity out to longer maturity date and watch those maturities rise in value because the central bank has been instrumental in assisting in this bull market in bonds by purchasing a lot of these paper to keep interest rates artificially low and that's the story of the past 40 years if bank of america is correct and the bull market in bonds is over and interest rates are going to start going up that means that pretty much 90 percent of the american economy in the global economy will start to become insolvent so they're basically identifying.
