me the in the the news ah, get used to the attacks from different directions. the attacks over various matters of various sorts and degrees of gravity. and i'm not stunned by all down. let me put you in speak to america's nbc network, ahead of who's summit with joe biden. next week we will go through the key points of that interview. also to come julian sanchez, family calls on the u. s. government to drop the case against him as they travel across america to raise awareness. but with the countries still desperate to extradite the whistleblower, his supporters believe washington is trying to send a warning to others. he is being held up as an example. keep your mouth

shut or this will happen to use and as campaigns for the 2022 presidential elections get under way in france, some are raising concerns that politicians are going to far in demonizing their opponents. ah, broadcasting live direct commerce to do in moscow. this is our international. i'm showing thomas, glad to have with us. now the russian president says he is unfazed by the garage of attacks. he faces vladimir putin statement came in an interview to america's and be fi channel has of talks with joe biden engine even next week. earlier i spoke to our correspondent garcia about the interview. what we have heard so far is only a, he's a cheese of the full interview,

but i must say they managed to fit a lot into this tease of, let me put and opened up by saying that relations between russia and the united states, worse than they have been in years and i suppose that is the politically correct way of saying that they're absolutely terrible, which is probably why the summit is happening. there is, at this point, little alternative, both sides have much more to lose by ignoring each other than they have to gain by working out rouge battery rules which can be difficult to do when the guy you supposed to talk to cool june kilo and vladimir putin says that he's none too phased by that to me, over the years i've been in office, i get used to the attacks from different directions. the attacks over various matters of various sorts and degrees of gravity with them. and i'm not stuck by all that. those politicians who deal with argue in the world arena, we're not bride and groom, we don't swear our endless love and friendship. we are partners and compete with

each other and some issues i would add. i heard dozens of such allegations, especially when we went through a hard time fighting against terrorism in the north calkins, as yet, i'm always guided by the interests of the russian state and its people. the russian president also like in some of the allegations and accusations against him to the verbal indigestion. he said ultimately that he believes job. barton is a career politician. someone who is devoted most of his adult lives to politics. who knows how things work that he isn't impulsive. he also said that he's the opposite. directly opposite of trump, who he described as a colorful and extraordinary individual who must have been talented because he became a president. should i still think that us, the former president, trump, is remarkable and tell it in person, otherwise he wouldn't have become the us president. he's a bright person. he made appeal to people or may not. and certainly,

he isn't the product, the united states establishment prior to the presidency. he was never into big politics, whether you like it or not. but that's how it is. president biden is completely the opposite to president trump because he's a professional. he's been in politics for most of his life. it's a fact just look at how many years he was a senator and let's push the political climate boot and also touch the unless t that on the international themes, a report that made the rounds. and in the american press that marcia was preparing to sell to a rod advise satellite technology perhaps satellites themselves. and vladimir putin said that this is complete information, fake news. he said he didn't know anything of the sort that perhaps us journalists knew more about it than him. there's the politics side of it. what about the western media? what are they making of the upcoming summer with much of the world political world? counting down the days until biden and to need face to face. there's been

a lot of reaction, a lot of speculation in the media more and more the days. one down, some saying the american press the, you know, they should cool off the entire summer because there will be no breakthrough. you know, having, having commented on politics for many years now. i must say there are few breakthroughs in politics or breakthroughs and insides, but politics isn't generally a gradual, slow process, so i'm not exactly not entirely sure where they're coming from here. others is saying that biden should call off the summit on the grounds that. 3 he isn't doing to make much progress in the last year, will make him the fool that biden will embarrass himself. others is saying that the summit should happen. the summit should go long and that it should be as productive as possible because again, rush in the united states only have to gain come from a good and fruitful relationship. have to ask about the kremlin side. what is the criminal thing about this upcoming reading between button and putting,

as for the official russian reaction, the president spokesperson has come out and said the relations of such that both sides, she simply need to add their concerns their grievances towards each other because they have collapse those relations on almost every fraud. he cannot make military cooperation. the fight against the pandemic against climate change, against even terrorism, compensation and dialogue between the 2 sides has stopped there. still, he says, working out the, the technical aspects and the details of this summit, such as whether vladimir putin and job barton will meet face to face will weather will have the delegations, the of people that will be present. but the point the meter, pensacola says of this summits is to prevent the further deterioration of relations . the main reason for him to go is the poor state relations between the 2 countries . the critical level of this relationship requires a summit between our 2 countries to be held because this is the only way to prevent

the 3rd, the degradation of our dialogue. again, the world will be watching this meeting. there is a lot riding on it on the international stage, as well as the domestic stages of russia and the united states. there is not a lot of hope that the will be a major breakthrough, but the hope is that they will be able to lay a foundation foundation of of trust on which they will be able to build solid friendly relations. the father and brother of julian, a songs are calling on the white house to stop pounding the wiki leaks co founder. they've traveled from australia to the u. s. for a month long tour to raise awareness of his plight. the san she is currently in jail in the u. k. and is wanted stateside on charges of espionage. and his family and supporters want the entire case against him to be dropped for 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. when lakes can still pause 2 leagues can bring justice. a british court earlier rejected the u. s. extradition request for julian assange over concerns about his mental health, but at the same time maintained that washington has a solid case against him. america is insisting that he should be handed over for releasing thousands of classified files has been almost a decade since a soldier was 1st arrested in london. he later skipped bale before spending a total of 7 years. hold up at the ecuadorian embassy in the british capital and has been in the marsh prison since 2019, if sent to the u. s. he could face up to 175 years in prison. roger waters funding

number of the rock and pink floyd and long time support of assange told us that his persecution is meant to send a warning to others. 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 all he did was report the news. that's it. and if that's a crime, then you should lock up there the tauriel boards of the new york times, and everybody else particular but particularly the publish who published the same stories that wiki leaks published, particularly the, you know, the rock rugs and, and dramatic most dramatically of all the classroom murder video. 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. it may be that 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 duty 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. gloves are often france where campaigns for next year's presidential election have gotten underway. but some are raising concerns that the politicians are going too far when it comes to demonizing. their opponents or to show davinsky takes a closer look. the ideal of a painting,

politicians is being in league with the devil, even being demonic themselves is as old as politics itself. but in a world of extreme divisions is more caution needed when it comes to inflammatory language and even symbols this week from have been full of it. first lecturing policy and bud front reported a wrapper to the authorities for a video which simulated the moodle of a left wing voter. then officials were left reeling because of the 20 o, while the political clo, banded together and now been active violence. some politicians seem to have quickly forgotten the lesson. french interior minister had diamond on is one example on a trip to join a head of regional elections. he said base to a crowd. there is

a will of a national rally, never windsor region. we can clearly see the satanic mark that would represent a victory for the national rally, while on social networks, people poked fun that dominant comment, including suggestions from some may need to cool in the system. the national rally, though, thought it was pretty provocative language. how does this government not realized that was such one and statements against the opposition? it is participating in the climate of hatred, vitality and violence. so do people really see that politicians have to eval going to lead fuel speculation and for me to demonize them and say that the satanist, it means nothing that just words i think calling them satan is it too much, even though i'm not the support of the national rally at all and i have no interest in them. i don't much for me. i think it's a big crew to say that, particularly on an intellectual and political level,

i don't see where the connection is with satanism. we're not in a religious country wherein in democracy a secular democracy and technically i don't see what the term is supposed to mean. i think on the whole there malicious but not all of them. i'm not completely ok with calling them satan is, but i guess document referring to the right wing and the slap and incident on their voice. i'm not very up to date on the subject, but i don't support the national rally party inside have and for me they are the devil. my guy ahead of elections. there was always political tension, but hearing from submits warnings from retired army generals and police. the civil war is brewing. things really feel like they're becoming hot, has how. and while i pull a titian's on know wayne job. fair. not necessarily even though it could be always argued better. the devil. you know charlotte,

even ski aussie paris bureau 2020 football championship. has finally kicked off, but russia's campaign has gotten off to a disappointing start with the national side, losing 3 mill to belgium in saint petersburg on saturday. earlier my colleague and farmers spoke to our electric shasky, who was outside the city just a year old that i was expecting, well, hoping for a nice birthday gift from team russia will at least the draw would have been fine, but clearly there were very low expectations ahead of this particular game, there is a theory of golf in class and quality between belgium and russia on the football pitch, of course. and the 3 know the result is not such a big surprise, although i have to say, i don't believe the 3 know result was fully does that russia did have some good spells in the 2nd half of the game. nevertheless, it's quite a poor thoughtful studies doctor joseph deem everyone here understands that the real battle for russia to survive in this group and to possibly qualify from this

group will happen next wednesday when russia will meet finland at this very ground . here everyone is gearing up for wednesday. the mood is still really good. here. there is a bit of a dual enrollment among the russian supporters. and i was actually sat in the stadium next to the a huge contingent of the belgian fans. and of course, they were absolutely accepted with this result. and particularly the fact that they could actually travel away from their country to a different land, to watch a game of football in the city where belgium has a really good track record, particularly in the world cup. they want the bronze metals and woke up here in 2018 . i spoke to quite. 3 a few of them, and let's listen to what they had to say, particularly about the easy visa regime of entering russia. this time, the feeling itself traveling from outside of the european union into russia with no reason know anything. how good is that ready to actually

be repeated over to or live in the beginning a little bit to recall to them is that the reason i'm set to auto just looking on the high side and we find that everything was at the bottom of everything. well of course, it's not only the belgians here roaming the city during the day. i've seen the all slot. got quite a few swedes as well. they will all play here and st. petersburg actually in just one day on monday, poland will square off against slovakia here, where on top of the game as well. and of course, bracing ourselves to a big game on wednesday when russia post. finland is got a university law student who has investigated for defining a woman as the one with female genitals has been cleared of all allegations the inquiry into her comments that were viewed by some as offensive and discriminatory . it took 2 months to complete, but found no evidence of wrongdoing. talking to

r t. the student describes the pressure that she was under. i was under tremendous stress and during the inquiry, you know, i had my final exams. i have a dissertation to write. i'm still trying to be, you know, mother to my children and function everyday life and there is just panic. and like, i was really focused on the exams on the dissertation. but at the same time i had this mickland in my head. you know what? it's all for nathan, i'm not sure why my whole minister actually needed. they were mainstream views. i am. so why such a reaction? i don't know. i described a biological woman to somebody before and to the jane and the early to read. and i said that on the physical scale, the average them in the future than the average man, i would say, you know, a women's always going to be a woman. and i think everybody should live there based like nothing they should be or sale. the free speech, ralph flared up at a seminar on log gender and feminism at advertised university, while the students were discussing transgender issues. classmates reported lisa

taylor remarks to academic chiefs, who then launched a formal investigation. now the case comes amid a rising conflict over transgender issues. at british higher education facilities and with calls to turn back from old gender stereotypes and promote inclusivity. but miss k o is convinced that everyone should have the right to air their views. i think in universe a free speech is there to restrict it. i think if you do along with the, the, the, the majority narrative, then you're, you're vilified and there's a target on your back like that was with me. i think people just have to open their minds and people like people to have an opinion. i am truly weird, i don't agree with everybody's opinions and i think he's not going to agree with mining but and then to be disabled. i hope we're going forward evictions, or even fail home and things and then you know, go back to why would consider normal. i was that my case will make other people

feel brave enough to ear their views. g 7 leaders have back us plans for a vast global infrastructure drive to rival china's belt and road initiative. whitehouse statement claims the build back better world plan will raise public and private funds to close the infrastructure gap for poor nations. the focus is on climate health, digital and gender or equity projects. although some g 7 states including germany and italy, have raised doubts over open rivalries with beijing. of the belt and road initiative was set up in 2013 to link scores of countries and through rail road and see links notably across africa and asia. joseph mahoney is a politics professor at east china normal university and says u s. anti china rhetoric is not new and the whole plan seems to be aimed at sustaining global head to moni. first, we have seen successful escalating containment strategies against china. so it's

1999, each one failing. and now it's biden's, turn the u. s. desperate to sustain and re enforce its global hegemony. already seen some hesitation from germany and italy and practice of the existing system already dominated by the same countries should be reformed and made more equitable . if this is really just an effort to build an anti china block and it's human cost will outweigh its benefits. and that's a real possibility. here. we see a long term go to fries, trying it out. and i don't think that the us reverse course and work with china stuck on something like this, particularly after poisoning the well looking to try to narrow rhetoric over the last few years. anti american indoctrination. that's how one us senator has described a racial studies in the military setting. hundreds of whistleblower complaints over the issue. i just came up and take up the story for us is woke culture seeping into the u. s. military. apparently it is in addition to their training,

they're now being taught what to think about gender, race and diversity. and apparently, some personnel are quite furious about it. this is not about the burst in general though this is about a very specific kind of anti american indoctrination that is saving into some parts of our military to republican lawmakers have gathered statements from military whistleblowers who say that woke politics is now taking over military classes one moraine told us that military, a military history training session was replaced with mandatory training on police brutality, white privilege and systemic racism. he reported several officers or now leaving his unit signing that training. another service member told us that their unit was required to re white fragility by robin deangela, which claims, and this is a quote, white people raise in western society are conditioned into a white supremacist worldview, when african american officer disparagingly said, and i quote, the navy, thanks my only value is as

a black woman and not the fact that she has a highly trained military specialist. the trend seems to be accelerating the military. in the united states, at least, there's not a stand alone system. the united states does not exist for the military. the military exists because of the united states, meaning that it is reflective of american society. we live in a time where the united states, you know, has conflict in segments of society. some who are very conservative somewhere. very progressive in right now. the progressive wing as it has the majority in congress, which is very important because the military gets funded by congress to civilian leadership. has decided that a crisis in american democracy that has manifested itself in violence in the streets, is of such magnitude that we need to retrain the military to be appreciative of

this. and that's the training we get. it may not make us a better fighting force, but it is reflective of the reality of civilian control of the military. not just about training, apparently, if you have the wrong attitude about critical race theory, you might lose your job. a lieutenant colonel in the space force got can that are he denounced critical race theory. now diversity training might sound like a good idea on paper, but many say that the evidence shows it for the military. it's simply a distraction causing nothing but more confusion, taylor mop and archie, new york. moscow is bringing back covered restrictions after a record rise and infections the russian capital recorded more than 6500 new cases in the last 24 hours alone. its highest daily number this year. that is almost a 1000 more than on friday. or if he's done off, explains the new rules, but i said to come in, well, people here being incentivized to stay home. moscow will see a more than

a week long holiday and to prevent excessive part seeing such places as cafes, restaurants, bars, night clubs. well, you name it, they will only be allowed to stay open until 11 o'clock in the evening. such places for chords and children's playgrounds or play corners will have to shut down altogether. also, employers have been advised to have at least 30 percent of the stuff working remotely. moscow may answer gates abandoned, explained earlier what the situation is like here in the russian capital were to shoot the school. we expected that a spring wave of the pandemic would be in april and may like it did last year. but as receipt has shifted to june and july, and the peak is quite high despite around how the people in moscow having immunity, by either coming through the illness or being vaccinated. but we'll see how fast kobe this coming. we can see to that the disease isn't becoming milder. on the contrary, it's getting worse. we have quite a lot of people who are now in ventilators. the authorities have been urging people

to get the vaccine. basically, it's very easy here. the process has been streamlined and seamless. there are more than $200.00 vaccination centers scattered all across the russian capital. some are located in schools, some in shopping malls. one, in fact, is open, even right on the red square in one of russia's biggest and most famous shopping centers. it also, this message has been echoed by vladimir putin who tried to put to rest all concerns over getting a job in a country. by the way, this is a common phenomenon. people are so wary i would say of all such procedures. but in my opinion of, we've already vaccinated 18000000 people and not a single serious case of complications. i think this is quite convincing proof. the vaccination should go wide up. so the message from the government has been very clear just to get the vaccine so that the vaccination rate is enough to have population immunity. or that does it for me, this out. i will be back in about,

let's say 34 minutes with a look at your headlines. this is our international o . sanction, rarely, rarely work except maybe a week, maybe a month. but the world always figures a way to get around the same. what is, whatever it is that was anxious, don't work. politicians get the city, and they say see, i am saving the world, saving themselves and them making friends, which these are the 4 people who pulled the trigger. survive something on survival. was the hardest things that i had. the face was not having a face at a low patient life accepted accept the fact that i made that appointment. we had no

fears. del change pretty fast for shots. different stories behind the bullets. me the, the, the the the, me, the me i don't well control departing. i know. you know, we all know that the earth orbit fun, but this statement of fact wasn't always widely accepted for centuries ago. it was

so controversial that the catholic church actually considered as a heresy. now that forward to the 21st century debate around extra terrestrials and you know, just a similar thing. those who hi prophesies their existence, i feel treated as a prostate why song? well, to discuss the, i'm now joined by abby, the professor of science at harvard university and author of extra terrestrial the 1st sign of intelligent life beyond the earth. now dr. low, it's so great to talk to you on such a fascinating subject. thank you very much. for finding the time, thanks for hosting me. now, i have to say that harvard and extra terrestrial life is not the most common combination of words. and i know that you gave many years to studying conventional cosmic stuff like a black hole. then the 1st stars i one day, do you think you would ever have made it to harvard or even have made it in the

field? were extra terrestrials you're a regional scientific interest? well, it's not obvious, but then for me, science is our wonder about the universe. i'm falling my child with curiosity, all the labels that they had acquired over the years and department chair, director of 2 centers. and all of these are quite unimportant compared to our attempt to understand the world. and i pretty much share operate this if i was a kid on the farm where i was born and trying to figure out what the universe is about. and then i agree with you that there are some subjects that are to boom, and the same community does not regard this mainstream. and i worked on some of those over the years. not necessarily related to accept the restaurants. i worked on the 1st tars when it was most very popular. i worked on imaging black horse when

it was more popular, derby additional wave astrophysics, which is now one of the major frontiers in us are physics, was ridiculed early on. and so i'm used to that situation, but if i were a young scholar, i would worry about my job prospects and that is definitely a chilling experience to witness the pushback. but senior people have towards thinking outside the box. i think the biggest problem with that is that it deter young people from innovating from taking risks. well, i know that the, your current book came out just there earlier this year and year primarily towards the general audience big here among lay stargazers like myself. and i think one of the main reason for its success is that unlike this community, most of us actually fascinated by this idea that we may not be alone in, in the universe.
