[000:00:00;00] the who's russian president vladimir putin, rails against the nino expansion and the miss treatment of russians in ukraine in a comprehensive interview ahead of his summit with joe biden. therapy and parliament gives final approval for a covey. the digital certificate schemes are free of travel, but fears remain over widespread fraud after a french nurse is accused of giving out faith vaccine certificate. and the f. b. i hails a global sting operation as a massive success with more than 800 suspected criminals. arrested. however, the ease with which agency taps their tech raises

a host of privacy concern. pretty much all the communications apps can be used by law enforcement or by intelligent services, despite on average people ah, broadcasting lie from russia's capital, this is art international. i'm your host donald quarter walk into the program or the expansion of nato russia relations with the ukraine. these were some of the topics touched upon by vladimir putin in a wide, raging interview on russian state television. on wednesday, it comes ahead of a much anticipated summit with american president joe, by the next week earlier, my colleagues unit o'neill and mariah gas, do you have discussed the interview here in the studio? ukraine was the central focus of this interview. one of one of the themes that

a lot of attention and concern was devoted to was this new indigenous peoples law that is sitting in the holes of the ukrainian government in a draft version so far, but essentially a little background very briefly. this rule guarantees the protection and legal protection for the various ethnicities indigenous as they say. if nice, if you see you quit, the ukranian government specified what those necessities are and those ukrainians contracts and cried me and thought us so those ethnicities will be protected by the law. they will be represented on a government level. so they, they will be protected against attacks, racially motivated, religiously motivated, culturally motivated attacks, that cultural identity will be protected by the government, their values, their symbols, icons, you know, anything that identifies them will be protected everyone out. not so much of nice that i've seen this draft and one of the articles and it says that native

admitted cannot be discriminated against the general legal principle that whatever is not prohibited is legal. does that mean non native ethnicities can be discriminated against? that includes russians, but also romanians pulls from gary and so it's absolutely unacceptable and it's out of line with basic international human law. it's not for everyone but promotions. it has a special significance. the thing is, millions of people living in ukraine identifies rush, and that's according to the sense of conduct during the soviet era. and i don't think much has changed and then a no more want to be a 2nd class citizen that will lead to hundreds of thousands, or maybe even millions of people leaving ukraine or changing the nation out in legal documents. it will be a huge blow to russian people in general, and we certainly cannot just ignore that. one of the chief concerns of glad reporting has, with, with this new draft law is that is reminiscent of the practices and methods of nazi germany, which is dividing people based on that genetic makeup. that at necessity affording some groups,

protection and perhaps prosecuting others. and let me putin here said the kid with mixed heritage with mixed pads. what is, what is he to choose as he's got a russian father and a ukrainian mother? does he choose russia who ukrainians? because he'll be afforded protections with one and with the other? he will be discriminated against nato expansion marat's expanded on as well. both of them are putting in the interview with him. vladimir putin says now the argument for nato expansion, strengthening nasal is rushes aggressive behavior. but let me put and said, look at the, the decades gone the last 2 decades, they were 2 cycles of nato expansion, while russia and nato will friends, while they were friends with each other. and here, let me poodle to remember cuba, because cuba, when the soviet union station nuclear weapons, there was a huge red line for the united states. russia was eventually remove those nuclear weapons. but somehow,

when the united states and they to encroach on russia closer and closer and closer to russia, borders, somehow, they don't see that as being of concern to russia. vladimir putin says that it is especially considering that the weapons, the nuclear weapons, for example, the flight time from romania from the eastern frenchies of native from romania to moscow. 15 minutes, if they're put in ukraine, if ukraine joins data, then it will be half the top. as for nato's expansion and his infrastructure getting closer to his borders, if next stream important issue for the security of all russians and for country, it has a practical significance for us. why is that? when pull into romania became nato member states, they quickly agreed to americans, missile defense systems been stationed on their territory. but the launch pads used for those systems can also be used for offensive weaponry, which can reach central russia, including moscow within

a very short timeframe. 15 minutes. imagine if ukraine was to become a nato member, it would then take 7 to 10 minutes if such missiles with stations stay near. hark of ordinary patrols to reach moscow. is that the red line for us or not? though russia has been attacked enough times to either for nuclear weapons and of odds of an international coalition, encroaching, moving close, inclusive, russia to start bringing alarm bells and only snoops let me know to talk about your grades. prospect of jordan and nathan obsession. really objectively speaking in last several years here he remark on one incident, several days ago when barton and the president spoke by phone, they issued very different press statements at the end of the bite and said that they talked about corruption and guaranteeing you credit to integrity ukraine i added the biking also allegedly said he was open to offering you created

a roadmap to join you credit again, a lot of sort of raised eyebrows. the american press the gradient to remove that and said, we said nothing of the sort not incident caused a lot of a lot of jokes in russia in expert circles in the press like me and said that he for one wasn't laughing because we don't know what was in that phone call and the behavior of ukraine, and they, there was such that it suggests that ukraine potentially will, could be offered naval membership and native. so let me put and says the lose. those are red line to russia that need to infrastructure and perhaps even nuclear weapons moving into ukraine for russia. that is an absolute red line. the austrian police say they've arrested 81 people as part of a global sting operation, led by the united states. the f b i is claiming to have caught more than 800 criminals worldwide, including arms and drug dealers by tricking them into using an encrypted app. aside

from austria, rates have taken place in more than a dozen countries, including australia or federal police, worked alongside us intelligence services. the app called a nom was run by the f. b i. security forces apparently got senior figures in organized crime to use and promote it. and allowed the intelligence agency to monitor communications between gangs, the f b i illegal at a in austria hailed the sting as a major success. this operation demonstrates how the f, b, i and our international law enforcement partners can come together to successfully combat transnational organized crime. and drug trafficking activity partnerships are the key to law enforcement. success has no one country or agency can tackle this problem alone. the operation almost broke down earlier this year and a nominee and anonymous blogger, posted an article calling on people to stop using the app over safety concerns. and

then his blog was shut down. meanwhile, australia and officials have defended the legality of intercepting those private messages. the countries police commissioner rece care shaw says it's the 1st time a law has been used to intercept telecommunications. however, former cia analysts, john kerry acro, told us the way the authorities disguise public apps as being encrypted and secure raises serious concerns. i think we should all just assume that our communications, even our encrypted communications, are being monitored pretty much all communications apps can be used by law enforcement or by intelligent services, despite on average people in these organizations like an essay and g, c, h q, and cia there they're working on things that we we can only

imagine we can only fantasize about. we have no idea the scope of the technology that they have access to. and so i don't think it's ever safe for the average person. the reason that they say they do it is that it's to keep us safe. it's to allow law enforcement to collect information on possible terrorist attacks or criminal activities. but that's not the way the constitution works. all platforms are compromised, and that's why we should always be so careful. in our private communications, european parliament has officially approved a cobit 19 digital certificate scheme. it will allow travelers to cross borders within the e u without quarantine and additional testing. the certificates will work both for you, citizens and foreign nationals. the digital file can also be issued in paper form and indicates if a person has had a negative p. c, r, test of act seen or has recently recovered from corona, virus member states have until july,

1st to implement that system with several countries having already started. now while the system is being rolled out, there are still major concerns about documents being forged. in the latest case, a nurse in france has been caught giving people faith certificates at an official vaccination center r t. charlotte to ben sky reports from paris, a worrying discovery which raises questions about how wide spread this practice may be a nurse who is working here at this mt could be vaccination center has been suspended of the being accused of giving people full certificate, showing that they had their job, one member of the who worked with her said that she had witnessed dozens of suspicious appointment. i observed for 2 or 3 weeks. she said to the 2 other nurses,

some people will arrive and there for me. she led them to her cubicle. normally there are 2 nurses per cubicle with a screen for privacy, but this time she asked her colleague to go out. this happened with at least 10 people a day, but in reality, she wasn't vaccinating these people. they left with a fraudulent q, r code, presumably to go abroad. that she was doing with colleague saying that there was no evidence that any of the basic steps to carry out an injection. had in fact, been carried out. usually people who get vaccinated have this skin disinfected with an orange product. the doctor wants to check whether these people had been vaccinated and there was no trace of the disinfectant. no di know, dressing. the nurse had been working at this center since january. she has now been suspended with the hospital saying that her actions were quickly spotted. but it remains unclear just how many of these false coup it's certificates may have been issued,

and whether or not the nurse received money for providing them. now the fake covey vaccine and test certificate market is huge, having grown exponentially during the health pandemic, they're all more than $1200.00 vendors in the world vendors west applying from all the countries in europe, spain, france, germany, switzerland, sweden, as well as mexico and destroyer after vaccinations, the next step was the certificates and negative tests. many of those aiming to bypass the system a said to be the racks is the vendors have mainly been identified on the dock web. so d that a nurse working in a could read vaccination center could also be running. a racket is particularly concerning. take left. it's unacceptable. which she did. do she certificates and

boots are this is theresa rubbish booked. a nurse shouldn't handout fake certificates to put everyone in danger. and we miss, she mentioned, well, i think it's all about the money. i think it's an isolated case. first of all, we don't really know for sure whether it's true or not. it's not been confirmed to the fact yet this woman hasn't been taken to court or anything yet. so i don't really know. if it turns out to be true, it's shocking for short. they can vaccinations, endangered the lives of other people we've. yes, you know, it's clear she shouldn't have done that. there is no doubt about that. i find it shocking because we're talking about healthcare walker's pressure. i'm sorry, drill it, it won't solve the problem and such things happen. we need everyone to get to knock . you later, i'm a to to and i was fighting to get the accent. this undermines the safety of all the people. yes, of course those people should go to prison. similar pound units. i think it's unacceptable for us to do such

a thing like that towards others towards those who pin vaccinated and those who have not. you just don't do that. even more worrying is that this was on the justice front is about to use restrictions even more as the controversial health class kicks in. the only deer is that those who've been vaccinated will receive a certificate like this, which contains one of these que or codes those q a code to be essential for accessing large events. so even showing that you've been in late for travel in return for perhaps a simpler journey and possibly new quarantine on arrival. so the idea leave q all codes could be obtained and the false pretenses from a nurse working in a registered vaccine center could make a mockery of the whole system as how can you trust what's real and what fake

show like even sky or t. paris sanitation workers in paris have stormed a district mayor's office, stirring a city wide strike the there protesting labor reforms which will both reduce annual leave and increased working hours. according to the trade unions, the mayor of the district has called the demonstration quote, totally unacceptable. fierce anti government protests become a frequent site during the manual microns presidency, and during his latest public appearance, one demonstrator got a little too close for comfort. the we discussed the recent unrest in france with political commentator and elizabeth moutain. it's not just essentially resistant to change to gum. it's also the,

the sort of during the war between the mayor of paris and he that go on the president mccormick wants to streamline the finances of the country. he voted this over crisis. the curve. it's quite a much more difficult because we spent so much this is actually for right now, he started his presidential complaint for 2022 and he still has a fairly important rump of people who will support him. he's very polarizing and divisive in many ways. coming up in the program as protests between palestinians and israeli forces refused to die down. we have the story of a critically ill teenage palestinian boy caught up in the middle of the conflict that story and more after the short break. ah oh the

the the the the, the, the the the the all when i would show the wrong, when all just don't the new rules yet to see out the thing because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground

in this welcome back to the program. now a new report has revealed that the u. s. is accounted for over half of global spending on nuclear weapons in 2020. that was published by an international organization pushing for nuclear disarmament. washington splurged $37400000000.00 on nuclear weapons last year. that's more than the combined total of the h other nuclear powers and represents 5 percent of americas total military expenditures . on average, the u. s, spending almost $71000.00 a minute on nuclear weapons. the corona virus pandemic has done nothing to reduce the global appetite for nukes last year. the world's 9 nuclear powers spent $1400000000.00 more on them compared with 2019 co founder of the stop the war

coalition. chris 9 them told us why he believes the hike comes as no surprise is a reordering of the world's system right now. when moving from a system, a situation in which the u. s. was massively dominant. what was called a unit power world where us the u. s. has the unchallenged, please, when at the world to one in which its power is being challenged, both bytes, but mainly by china, but also by the emerging economies in, in important regions like russia, like and so on. so this is kind of reordering of the world system and any moment of the reordering is a very dangerous moment. it's a moment when particular local conflicts can suddenly take on an international significance. i think in those circumstances, you know, it's not surprising to me that we were seeing a kind of

a re armaments or an accelerating argument of the nuclear powers. now another news, tensions are simmering on the as rarely palestinian border on tuesday there was a confrontation between soldiers and locals in the west bank. town of beta, people threw rocks at israeli settlements and anger, and that was the 3rd consecutive day of classes with the idea of forces. who responded with tear gas. over the years, numerous palestinians have been detained and similar confrontations without charge or trial. among them, a 17 year old boy suffering from a rare auto immune disease. or slayer has a story than 350 palestinian prisoners, a county held in his reading. administrative detention. this means that they have not stood trials, nor faced charges. many of them are children. among nacley is a 17 year old palestinian boy with

a wasted in november 2020 by the forces and charged with throwing stones that he was released up to $22.00 days. he was in re a re said and taken from his house in the early hours of january this year and had been held in administrative detention everson about john. he remained free for the 40 days, then he was arrested again while he was at home. he was arrested while he was sleeping at 2 or 3 am. the stone throwing charges are a big lie made up by those who are trying to free my child. if a mom has committed a crime, we have a right to know what it is. only his father would talk to his mother. it's too distraught amal. it's critically ill and suffer from chronic or to immune neuro muscular illness. his treatment requires ongoing medical intervention and uninterrupted doses of medication. his family is concerned, he's getting neither amola. he had a luncheon that was removed, but then he experienced complications. he needs to continuously take his medication and sometimes he gets injections in hospital where he also constantly has

appointments for specialists. but then the prison, they refused to let them attend and said they will provide him with their own medication. sometimes they give him his medicines on time, and sometimes they don't use them. so we'll blame these really occupies for any complications at the mall. might experience because he needs specialist a medical care. we are also trying with a lawyer to get a medical committee involved. him and white advocating for palestinian children are urging for his release. they say administrative detention is abusive, especially when it comes to children who are mostly wasted patrolling stones. the little problem is with the way by which is, is used administrative detention against the ballasting and in general and children and particulars. israel resort heavily on administrative dimension despite the fact that it would be used just very limited and expect exceptional pieces,

admin sort of detention actually is based on secret information. there is no clear if it dances submitted to the court. it's e general accusation of being a threat to the security of the state of the air and the area just last month and miles administrative detention was extended by the way. the military court for another 4 months is well argued that give them time together evidence without him out or other palestinian children being held. being able to carry out a text in the interim. we have no choice but to restore law and order of determined use of force. there are nationalists elements here breaking the law in fact, disturbing the framework of the state of israel. so in the face of such a threat, it is possible to use administer detentions under the administrative detention order. it's all can imprison kind of thing in for 6 months at a time, which can be extended indefinitely. but at the mouth, health situation worse than that would be

a distinction policy or television. a group of lawmakers in the u. s. are calling for a boycott of next year's winter olympics in beijing, democratic representative town. tom mallette malin o ski also submitted this resolution to congress accusing china of genocide against the weaker minority representative. as urges the international olympic committee to consider the dell and pig charges, principles of solidarity and non discrimination. hard to reconcile with holding the 2022 went against the country, the government to which stands credibly accused of perpetrating crimes against humanity and genocide, against ethnic and religious minorities mala. now ski claims the campaign to boycott the 2022 games is a coordinated effort by legislators and multiple democratic countries. although it's so far unclear which nations are involved in that effort. and in the resolution,

he accuses china of multiple human rights violations against weaker muslims, including mass incarceration of millions and concentration camps, and the force sterilization of women. the chinese government has not yet commented on that u. s. initiative, but it's repeatedly dismissed. any threats of a winter olympics boycott and he's always denied violating the rights of weaker muslims in shin jang province economics. professor benjamin child thinks the allegations being made against china are not based in reality. us right now is choosing china of genocide and was she knows i do have you ever since you knew size of the population, which is still growing rapidly. the western media did not emphasize enough that the publisher st. john, people actually growing rapidly. how can we say to genocide? i was in seen jaya, i had know many people from seen. john, i know a lot of people in shanghai, hoping syndrome. i know, i think that the width is what,

what the rest is accusing china of about the weakest. if a show of hypocrisy, end up with standard and international olympic committee as a simple non governmental organization is supposed to be strictly politically neutral at all times, a boy called have been shown to negatively impact athletes. while not effectively addressing global issues. judging from history see mer, practices in the past have never completed that. so fish and narrow minded political goals and the politicize in sports is and welcoming for many countries. moscow court has outlined outlawed organizations founded by alex, seen evolving. the court ruled that the russian opposition figures political network was quote, extremist, as r t. s. eliot, katrinka reports the russian, prosecutors have been highlighting the extreme as nature as they are putting it. of the organizations lead and founded by opposition activists elect saying,

navarro me according to the authorities, the so called novalis h queues and also the anti corruption funds that are labeled as foreign agents in this country were regularly behind on law for demonstration rallies and other unsanctioned gatherings that often lead to unrest and even violence in some cases. so these are the key reasons why the fund is being fully banned in this country earlier members of the anti corruption font like seen of all these allies. and now that they were wrapping up the activity of their network in its present form because of the enormous pressure that they were experiencing from the rushing state like st and evolving himself, is currently serving a 3 year sentence for violating the terms of a suspended sentence. that's something that he received earlier as a result of

a fraud case. western governments have long been accusing moscow of being after mister and evolving and the organizations that he has been in charge of for political reasons. and this led to serious cracks in moscow relations with the you and the west for example. but the rushing side maintain that the legal action against the prominent opposition figure is fully within the wash and legal framework. and is only related to the crimes that have been committed by like seen evolving himself and his political network. for more details on your world news stories, you can always check out our website, archie, dot com or follow up on your favorite social media platform. i'll be back with more news in just about 30 minutes, so stay tuned. the join me every 1st day on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess on the world,

the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me . i one of the persian gulf, the wealthiest country, it has spend billions of dollars on state of the art stadiums. wow. look at this. i mean, the stadium is really taking shape. you can see the bowl and most of the stands now, when we were here a little bit over a year ago, at the same construction site, it was just the foundation in a few metal structures. so it seems that time why this idea to use shipping containers as building blocks has definitely paid off. i mean, they're easy to assemble and easy to dismantle, just like playing with lego. for the 1st time in a world history, the stadium will be billed from shipping containers and what's more,
