me, the the ah, russian president vladimir putin. it speaks to us media for the 1st time since 2018, just days ahead of his stomach with joe. but my colleagues do feel a sense of deep sense of the trial. we have young police officers who by age alone, will not have been vaccinated. how can not be right? u. k. police chiefs raise the alarm over a lack of vaccination for the force. i'm at peers, the 5000 and job officers at the g. 7 summit could become proven super spreaders. while in new york, parents declare war on the woke indoctrination at the schools putting up billboards demanding their children instead be taught to think for themselves about diversity

. ah, i brought cathy wives, eric from studios and monica. this is art international. i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with. alright, now day one of the 1st g 7 in person summit since the start of the pandemic has wrapped up in southwest england and also march jo biden's 1st overseas trip during his presidency ahead of the summit. biden met with the host u. k. prime minister board johnson, they signed a new atlantic charter based on the 1941 agreement that outlines the 2 countries goals after world war 2, the priority. now, according to the document is cooperation. as for the g 7 event itself, the main talking points are the pandemic trade and climate change plus china and russia. i meanwhile, american channel nbc has interviewed russian president vladimir putin ahead of his

meeting with joe biden in geneva next week. the full program will be aired on monday, but to give us more details, i've joined live in the studio by reason, but i got rod certainly an interesting development. now the russian president hasn't spoken to the u. s. media since 2018 quite some time. what can we expect from us while the, there's a teaser out, i must say they, they manage to fit a lot of this interview into, into a short season. but the gist of it is that let me start by saying the reason that the meeting in the 1st place, and that is because there is legal option for both sides relations, not me prudence. as the worst. they have been in many, many years, which is, which is obvious, but it is also happening, given that joe biden has been highly critical of let me put in his infamous interview because let me put in a murderer

a murderer and was asked about that. but nbc journalist and he said that he doesn't take a person, even, he's been called many things over the years that be many allegations and in his address and that many of them he likened to verbal indigestion. so obviously, whatever under the bridge for him, but, but more than that fuels who said the job biden is a career politician, career politicians, an autumn pulse of folk vladimir putin said, which is, you know, a given after spending decades in politics, you knew how things are run, you know how things are done and if something said, well, you can't dwell on it for too long. let me put in all too said, talked about trump, for example, saying that he was a very colorful and extraordinary politician. as is arguably he was. but he also said the joe biden is the opposite, is completely different to trump. he was who talked about international themes. i'm

sure they'll be many more in the interview itself. but one thing he mentioned specifically is a report that's been doing the rounds in america. press about russia, giving sensitive technology bon satellite deck to iran. and like we are prudent said that this is completely false, that this is fake news and fake information in the russia did nothing of the sort. now, you just mentioned the, the media side of it. there's the politics side of it. what about the western media? what are they making of this upcoming summer? well, it's the same as always. they split down party lines. there are those with paps, arguably more sense to realize the relations are at the dead end. and at a very terrible that end, where, where neither side wants to be. and here some america, abundance is saying that you know, this, this entire thing is useless. this entire affair is a chance for biden to embarrass himself and for booting to play him the fool.

others are saying that there's no point to a summit because there will be no breakthrough. i'm not exactly not entirely sure. i agree with that because politics happens bit by bit breakthroughs of facade, breakthroughs and in politics are very rare. others are saying, you know, enough enough with russia as too much russia. russia has too much of a shadow in american politics, and it is time to reduce attention towards russia. so lots of things. that's the western media side of it. have to ask about the kremlin side. what is the criminal thing about this upcoming reading between button and putting what the criminal has been very measured so far as it generally is when it comes to meetings with people. they don't like to spoil things so to speak. but they're saying that we're still in the phase where details are being worked out, such as will vladimir putin and job bud meet face to face, or whether they'll have the aids and delegations with them. i the, you know,

the length of those talks, the press statement at the end perhaps to jordan, press conference and said that he's ready to hold a joint press conference or even the whole host, who's the press conference by himself after the summits. and it is still unclear whether joe button will be part of that. but pasco, of nature pascoe, the president spokesperson, was who said, that the sheer gravity of the situation now, how bad relations between russia and the united states are, and how, how willful that is for the rest of the world. considering these are the 2 powers of more nuclear weapons, anyone else is why this summer has happened in the main reason seem to go is the poor state relations between 2 countries. the critical level of this relationship requires a summit between the 2 countries to be held because this is the only way to prevent the further degradation of our dialogue. suddenly there's a lot riding on this people,

and that is all over the world. want to see this summit succeed babs, not on paper, perhaps not straight away, but for it to lay a foundation on which russia in the united states can build new relations. can we build what was lost and perhaps learn to at least a little bit? trust each other. alright, and we know that you're going to be staying across this as the story develops. interesting though, even the choice of the venue, geneva harkins, back to the old days between soviet and us relation. so we know you'll see across that for us. thanks a lot. broadcast there. all right, on day one of the summit in cornwall leaders pledge to to donate hundreds of millions of vaccine doses to poorer countries. but in the host nation itself, police have warned of a more immediate problem that $5000.00 of the officers at the event itself, have not even been inoculated. that though hasn't stopped the u. k. prime minister, from praising the force for its work during the pandemic. i bet the policing restrictions in that way was not something you ever dreamt you will be doing. but

you did it because you knew it was how we are going to protect the n h. s. and save lives for something that speaking out the police federation, annual conference abilene named policing on the pressure of those within the 4th. a claim that he and home secretary principal sell them onto the front lines during a pandemic. totally unprotected and small words became lame actions. and the result is up, my colleagues do feel a sense, a deep sense of the trial adjust this week. we have thousands of colleagues from all over the country coming together to replace the g 7. so me to call more police officers from those very communities where the indian variance of the virus is thriving. we have young police officers who by age alone, will not have been vaccinated. how can not be right? 6500 offices from every police force in the country. a part of the g 7 ring the steel and that dealing with diplomat small over the world. meaning the summit could

become a hot bed of covey, with offices acting as potential super spreaders. personally, an issue that needs to be considered whether or not there's any risk of a super spread. talked event occurring around the g 7. so there are people from all over the world. they include people from countries where the rights of covey to a very different from allison, with various different versions of a virus causing the problems. last year that were 89 police officer deck involving cove it highlighting why police representative are so eager for their members to get their jobs if they're going to continue to put themselves at risk front line officers on the so. so things tend to be at the young end of the scale, certainly enlarge numbers, and therefore they will not yet have reached the point where they will all be vaccinated with the g 7 operation. now, the way there are fears and some courses that the damage has already been done and

it leaves government officials hoping that the summit doesn't result in a surgeon code the cases and particularly amongst those they've off protecting some of the world's most powerful people, ought to you london the father and brother of julian, a songs have travelled from australia to the us for a month long tour. they are calling on the white house to stop hounding the wiki leagues co founder. the songs is currently in jail in the u. k. and is wanted stateside on espionage charges. his family and many supporters are urging that the entire case be dropped. so as 6 months now passed since since the refusal of bale. and we still don't know when there will be an appeal. so what, what we're seeing is just, it's just another instance of this abuse of process that julian has been suffering under for you know, going on 12 years now. there is a, there is an opportunity now for, for the burden administration. and mary,

garland just just to discontinue and drop this case, leak can stop was that is closed in july and then we can lakes and kristen hanson has her special, you know, they had the late that they continued risks of himself to attempt to give a name to the dan earlier this year at british court rejected a u. s. extradition request for julian assange due to concerns about his mental health. while the same time maintaining that washington has a solid case against him, america is still insisting he should be headed over for releasing thousands of classified files. it has been almost a decade now since a song was 1st arrested in london. he later skipped to bail before spending a total of 7 years. hold up inside an embassy in the british capital. he has been in bel marsh prison for the past 2 years. if you sent to the us, he could face up to 175 years in prison. roger waters founding member of the rock

band, pink floyd, and a long time a sound supporter told us press freedom itself was on trial. he is being held up as an example to people who might young people who might decide to make a career in journalism. and who might decide that the public has a right to know by the, by the good offices of the, for the state or the journal or the, you know, the newspapers who we absolutely desperately need to be free of the patches of an autocratic government. to give us the information we need to be concerned citizen. so, but they don't, they, they pass the bay. does this include joe biden, and bring can bye, certainly hope. not because he absolutely should step out tomorrow and say wherever you are in the united states, john and gabriel shepard and we hear it is his piece of paper. we are dropping all

the charges against julian assault because we know for sure that he could, he committed no crime. all he did was report the news that said and if that's a crime and you should lock up, they had a tauriel boards of the new york times and everybody else particular but particularly the publish who publish the same stories that wiki leaks published, particularly the you know the rock rogues and, and, and, and dramatic most dramatically of all the classroom, murder video, you know, i should be locked up. i showed that video and every single performance of the war when i data were to between the years of 2010 and 2013. no, he is being held up as an example. keep your mouth shut or this will happen to you . we will kill you because that's what they're trying to do that trying to kill

julian as such because she spoke the truth and it's disgusting. obviously, i do know the general public in the united states for our lives are, but getting on a number of issues to see what's going on more clearly than they did before than they have before. it may be the people will start to scratch their heads and go hold on a minute. this guy got a story. very interesting story, disgusting story. and he and he decided that he had an absolute gigi in the public interest to publish that story. the government didn't want him to do it and now they're trying to kill him. there is something wrong with this picture. he was he, julian sars provided an enormously important public service to all americans . and not, not just americans as well because he's provided information to the,

to the public, to the peoples of many of the nation. so over the world, as we know, angry parents in new york have lashed out at elite schools in the city for allegedly indoctrinating their children with woke values instead of teaching them how to think or to kill them up and comments. it looks like some parents are fed up with critical race theory being taught in school. mobile billboards have been set up outside of new york city. private schools, where parents are calling out the woke curriculum, taught on their money. the truck sign says, teach how to think. not what to think. woke school speak out and diversity not indoctrination. this campaign was organized by a group of parents who say they are concerned about what their children are being taught. in recent years, a new orthodoxy has emerged to tell us cause dividing our communities based and

immutable characteristics such as race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation. as a result of the core tennis of high quality education, unite and all children and families through love and appreciation for learning and community spirit have gone by the wayside. schools should unite us not divide us. many of these parents say they are not opposed to an anti racist or pro diversity curriculum, but they say critical race theory is going a bit too far and causing more problems than it solves. we are group of concerned parents who believe there is a better way to promote diversity and include a teacher at lead and independent schools in new york city without sacrificing quality education for all students. to save our schools, administrators must ensure academic rigor and intellectual integrity requirements of any core curriculum. while respect and parents, as the primary moral educators of the children, parents aren't the only ones. there's an english teacher in new jersey at

a private school who quit her job saying that critical race theory is racist resigning from a job that i love. over the past few years, the school has embrace in ideology that is damaging to our students, intellectual and emotional growth and ideology that require students to see themselves not as individuals, but as representatives of either an oppressor or oppressed group, and by professional opinion as an educator the school is failing to encourage healthy habits of mind, essential for growth, a growing number of parents and teachers objects to the teaching of critical race theory in schools. this is yet another conflict and a time of already deep divisions in the united states of america. well, how will this all ultimately be resolved? well, it looks like it will be up to our children to settle this. i actually think that critical race theory would be allowed in our schools to teach children teach him at home and that in the school system is no need for that is what is doing is

teaching kids how to have them fail. what control is out of place has no place in fact at all and in order to change it. but we got about lynn. i was so from our teachers teach this particular correctly go back to the base keisha banners that we had before. and i was, we want to change the situation, we must fight hard and we must do it from our home. that was our church to the way that we think we need to do it. and so at this particular point, we have got to pull back and push back car to ahead. police unit in germany is disbanded for sharing far right extremist messages in group jots of story much more abstract break. this is our international the

join me every 1st day on the alex famine show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me . hello, driven by dreamer shaped by those in me dares think we dare to ask me. ah, we're here in saint petersburg at the international economic form. and the topic of our program is the global economy. how is it changed since coven, for the winter,

for the loses? what are the challenges? and would it be opportunities? ah, my welcome back. this is our international. the governor of texas has resurrected a promise from the trump era. greg abbott says he's going to build a wall on the border with mexico due to the government's failure to tackle the migrant influx. the border crisis is no laughing matter. this is something that also is not a tourism site for members of congress to make an annual pilgrimage to see that board and then go back and do absolutely nothing at the federal government level to solve their cry. the governor went on to say that work on a border wall will start next week, and migrants who trespass on private property will be arrested. earlier this month,

mister abbott issued a disaster declaration. along the southern frontier, he accused the bike administration of encouraging migrants saying the route was being used by human traffickers and gangs. that's after migration had a 20 year high. in may alone, us border patrol caught more than 180000 people illegally crossing the border. politics and social commentator justin robert young told us that the situation is at a tipping point. we are one big, ugly moment away from what's happening on the border being a much larger problem for them. one dead child, one group of people that die from, from heat stroke and a photographer or a videographer where somebody, they're getting the kind of pictures and videos that tend to capture imagination if that's the case. and it can be tied to the fact that the by the ministration has

been not great on this, then not only can it be damaging to them, but specifically with the mid terms coming up next year. it can force conversation to be more on the border, which is not where the by the administration or anybody in congress on the democratic side wanted a special police unit has been disbanded in the german city of frankfort. its members are suspected of having shared far right content in a group chat. here is our europe corresponding peter oliver with more. this involves 17 actual front line and foreigner and current front line members of the special task force or s k in front. for now, that's pretty much the equivalent of the swat team in the united states or the special firearms command in the united kingdom. it also involved 3 senior offices who apparently knew what was going on and didn't act what it's understood is that this group charts were sharing fall right extremist messaging as well as nazi

symbols. now it's prompted the interior minister of the state of has where frank foot lies to despond. the unit saying that it needed to be over hold completely the unacceptable misconduct of several employees as well as the turning away of the media to superiors. and the special task force of frankfurt made its complete dissolution necessary. nothing that can remain as it was, even those who look the other way and thus fail to fulfill their direct superior ro must expect disciplinary consequences. this isn't the 1st time that we've seen fall right extremist activity and the police or the military here in germany. there's been a number of incidents over the last couple of years. i the ah,

the restructuring under way of special tactical police units in have. both they, when they all restructured, will be firmly under the microscope as well as will police forces and the military across germany. after these claims these allegations of fall right extremism in the ranks. we also heard from benjamin general who are present a police union in berlin, he says officers are being unfairly targeted and it's putting huge pressure on them versus mission or just us feel police in some german states who received reports of right wing extremist ideas. if something of this happening in society and when not isolated from it, there are $26000.00 employees in berlin, police, and include supporters of right wing extremist ideas is like alcoholism or drug

addiction police human beings, just like everyone else is. the main thing is how we deal with it, how we recognize such people what steps fuel 30 is taking. i think it's obvious that there should be no extremist ideology, no matter what kind it has no place in the police force. all this of course, is already affecting people, just like these claims that we are all far right, extremis. unfortunately, there is a tendency in the public to generalize. if one person is far right than immediately all 26000 employees. this of course, takes a toll on police officers. my colleagues do a great job and they sometimes work for 60 or 70 hours a week. they encounter incredible stress, and yet they carry out their gcs professionally. and despite this the next day, they are criticized by politicians. it's an attitude on the political level that makes people in lauren forestman want to find all the jobs and one's friends, defense minister said on friday that french troops have killed

a molly. g hottest linked to the kidnapping, and death of 2 journalists back in 2013. the news comes just after president micron announced the end of its bar come anti terror operation in the hell region of west africa. french forces are expected to remain in the area as part of a broader international contingent. the place all you have is don't get the continued presence of french operations cannot be a substitute for the return of the state and state services, political stability and sovereign decisions. we cannot keep secure in areas that then fall back into instability because the state decides not to take responsibility. it's impossible and never ending task. the french leader says that the number of bases will be reduced, but the several 100 special forces troops will stay in the region to work alongside other european and african army. the details of the withdraw are expected to be finalized by the end of this month. france currently has troops stationed in 5

countries of africa to hel region. molly burkina, faso chad, martina, and near the intervention was launched in malia back in 2013 before it was expanded under operation by con to other countries. in the region was 5000 and french troops were involved in the operation with 50, killed in the past 8 years. here is the view of african affairs analyst, lawrence, k. freeman on the planned withdraw at a french paint, very nasty will. in many of these government, all kinds of accusations, for example, in the qu and chide, had a very strong indications that that this was a power coo and that the french may have looked the other way. the friendship been accused of all kinds of activities. and they're not well liked in the area, but if you go back to the history of this to help, this area remains desolate. there's no development desert area becoming more desert

area for the north. you go to lack of a commitment by the french, by the united states, by europe, to develop this area of friendship, use the military power. and there are 5000 forces of this operation to try to control the area and maybe even control some of the countries. and that's why there's a lot of resentment against the french. but that does it for me. this hobby back in 31 and a half minutes with another full and freshly news. this is our to international. ah, ah, the ah,

the, i don't know. i mean, there are some steps in there were rescuing the food that they were scabbing or, or where were rescuing resources that are still good. this is best by march 21st which is in 2 days. all these potatoes, paula pianos, onions, all of these came from waste brown sources. this is great for me because i'm always looking for a way to give things away. dr. because the tax laws, you know, definitely do benefit the wealthier people and our society. so that makes sense for them to throw it out right off rather than give it to somebody who could use it.

and then that person is not going to buy it. the the, the, the the ah, with me ah. hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things considered. i'm peter lavelle. we're here in saint petersburg at the international economic form. and the topic of our program is the global economy. how is it changed since coven.
