decades advance mega project most go for him to and to and he was the largest international congress on negates that he development where the 1st few as much as some of the biden administration blooming, the american president called his russian counterpart, an autocratic ap setting the phone for the upcoming face to face the celebration in israel mixes with doubt. so majority of the countries new coalition government, which ended benjamin netanyahu. 12 year rule. terrified and promises half a 1000000000 doses of cova, john support a nation. but it seems not for everyone. we look at how washington's flows are being left died. ah, hello, that's monday afternoon of 5 here in moscow. my name is colleen bray with world

news from arte international 1st. were you looking ahead to mid week ahead of the 1st us russia summit of the biden presidency? critics predict, awkward conversations in question if the pair can reset relations. but on a positive note, the us, the to says he is willing to cooperate with moscow in libya, believe in syria, but you get the point. there's a lot going on you where we can work together with russia. for example, in libya, we should be opening up the, the passes to be able to go through provide, provide food assistance in accounting, i mean, vital assistance to a population that's in real trouble. on wednesday, it will be geneva, that becomes the arena for that much anticipated face to face, for which potent binding of each been preparing themselves in very different ways, as alia patricia and explains. the closer we get to the grand show down in geneva,

the more we find out about what the leaders have in store for each other, but maybe show down is that the right word? the russian prize didn't says he's not in for a fist fight at all pretty we have always try to behave with sufficient restraint. after all, we did not take a single step in any of the areas which would aggravate the situation. we're talking about security issues about these red lines about the possible deployment of all kinds of combat systems there miss, so strike and so on. we don't do such things. now compare that to joe biden, who keeps making a clear, he's heading to geneva to teach mister pool. a lesson or 2. i've been clear the united states will respond in a robust and meaningful way when the russian government engages in harmful activities. we've already demonstrated that i'm going to communicate that are consequential rely a violating the sovereignty of democracies in the united states in europe and

elsewhere. ok, president biden did also say we want a stable and predictable relationship. question, what's meant to be stable, the mindset that moscow needs to be bullied and present whenever the white house administration gets a chance? many times i've heard officials in this country say how it's impossible to threaten russia with consequences. and right at the same time, talk about how you're willing to get along and build trust. it almost seems as if the definitions of diplomacy in american and russian dictionaries are totally different these days. searcy live, rob even tried to remind those working on the summit across the atlantic of the key ingredient of diplomacy that is, at least considering the standpoint of the other side. so i see sky sheet. yes. i hope those that specialize in the russian federation will consider the actions, interest, and position of russia, as well as

a red line. and they will learn from their mistakes of past years. abandoning dialogue that is based on hedge many in world affairs. he goes to negotiate with faith when you try and make it as easy as possible for him to talk to. don't back them into coolness, try and find common ground. and we've gotten very low expectations of this because the 2 sides are very far apart. are lots of issues and you know, we cannot live, but it was going to be some nation breakthrough. i'm not in the sense, takes the pressure of most leaders because if they can just, i was civilized conversation. that will be enough for now. my, the way on the 16th we won't see the 2 leaders speaking to the media. shoulder to shoulder, the white house administration decided no joint press conference. why with regard to i always found, and i don't mean to suggest that the press you should not know, but this is not a contest about who can do better in front of

a press conference or try to embarrass and each other. the media has been speculating that it's part of the us administration plan to deprive a lot of our platform to reach out to a truly global audience. the reaction for moscow is calm. the kremlin says it's okay with the choice to go solo. although usually the world would expect the leaders to appear together in front of cameras after such crunch talks. speaking of how president putin isn't willing to take any offense before geneva, we couldn't remember how he pretty much ignored joe biden's killer remark. over the years i've been in office, how get used to the attacks from different directions, the attacks over various matters of various sorts and degrees and gravity with them . and i'm not stunned by all that. those politicians who would deal with and argue in the world arena, we're not providing groom, we don't swear our endless love and friendship when we are partners and compete with each other on some issues. i would. i heard dozens of such allegations. soon

after the interview was recorded, president bible called his russian counterpart, an autocrat who doesn't have to answer to a public. oh, well, and of course the russian leader got his doze of unpleasant cliches from the western medium. so just can't help mentioning the key g, b and they're reporting. the question is how can you even conduct diplomacy with a president you've demonized? and the humanized so much, this is an american meeting they started so they'd like done the conditions of the page up to meeting on the. i think the russians are responding constructively to this opportunity for dialogue. boyden is too large extent. i perform each piece. each constrain by the fraction of the politics in the us is extremely belligerent. the media, all the things that have been said over the last few years, the son called cyber attacked by russia. there's so many things that he,

it's very difficult claim to be construction. i think the russian so he's got to understand that there's not much he can offer from the total if something comes out of the wire and a massive police present since covering brussels that it hosts and nato summit. the skies over the belgian capital living patrol by helicopters, with snipers, positioned on rooftops around key venues. cathy, it's been closed, and the authorities of cielo manhole social security precautions. there's also disruption to residents with bus diverted and traffic jams reported high on nato's agenda. is russia and china with the alliance chief urging more unity and funds in the face of a research debating the global balance of power is shifting with the rise. so china and we have seen a course of behavior by china northeast in the south china sea. we have,

we have seen and we see that they're investing heavily in new mod, done media ticket. it is all of these matters for our security on no country, no compounds can manage to deal with this alone. so therefore we need to respond together, asked and the lions of nathan. meantime, joe biden, speaking ahead of the nato event in 5th, democracies must unite, but many a questioning the assumption behind his claim at global paul has found that just 17 percent. the america is a good example of democracy, even if perceptions of the us have improved slightly since she came to office. we've engaging opinion on that in britain, germany, and france. is the page has been the power of the people, the power of a bunch of people. things like one tunnel are an obstacle against thinking that the u. s. is the only and probably the best democracy in the world. i think they were missing a kind of let's say response like,

sense of responsibility of the us for being the democratic leader of the world. so i think that's why probably 80 percent that know and that there is a chef, but i still believe they are just because of the incredible power that they will go home. it's difficult to compare countries, but i think that no country has a stable democracy. this was clear in the united states and the trump and the same could happen here in france. so i can't say that the united states is the biggest democracy in the world. just like i can't say the front of the biggest democracy in the world. going to be almost as we still have things for under trump, where the issue of migrants at the mexican border global war in the corporate crisis. united states is not a good example for other countries. 12 ladies including that he may have congratulated israel's new government coalition will see right when and after the battle rule for the 1st half of the term before handing over power to central partner. repeat the remaining 2 years. it does all end though the 12 year political dominance of benjamin netanyahu is now set to lead the opposition to meet the

need. if we are doomed to be in a position, we will do so in an upright manner until we throw this danger government, and return to lead in the country in our own way. and if you come, we will work together in partnership with responsibility low in order to mend the rift in the nation and immediately bring back the country to a normal functioning woman. after a long period of paralysis quarrels. yeah, just slide calls from bennett. so restrained crowds have been celebrating the improbable alliance of a very disparate factions that united to end, the political stalemate that cause for elections in just 2 years. but not everyone's happy about it. i think the vin has gone too full by becoming prime minister. he's going to be a prime minister against all his principles, against all his opinions is about just not be,

be there isn't anything else that brought these parties together. it is not fair. what they have done. we voted for someone and we got something completely different, where our boats were guarded grad from becoming a big factor from becoming something we didn't want it to be from becoming something dark and dangerous. coalition has the tiniest one, st majority, nevertheless managed to unite the nation. now middle east correspond policy. it takes a look at the new p. m. outgoing is really prime minister. benjamin netanyahu is the device to figure. and his replacement natalie bennett, who's only been in office for a few hours, is if we put his equal the renewal of the nuclear agreement with iran is a mistake. a mistake that will give legitimacy again to one of the darkest, the most violent regimes in the world. israel will not let iran on itself was a nuclear weapon. this i heard wouldn't have to live,

but i had to say on this subject, and i must tell you that now i'm twice as worried because bennett always does the opposite of what he says and what he promises and orthodox to and self made tech millionaire. the 49 year old isn't well known on the world stage, but in this world he's been around for almost a decade. and for most of it, he was maya in a long and often rocky relationship with natania, who bennett started as a senior aide to the then opposition needa, but left natania who on bad terms. 5 years later, he was back this time in his own white, revamping postal party, and serving as minister of defense, education and economy in various natania who governments, they came march the 23rd this year. and israel's 40 mission in 2 years. it was been a time to shine after almost agreeing to form a coalition with nathan, yahoo! he pulled out at the last moment, leaving this on yahoo with open numbers he needed. and so the mandate went to

opposition the to the period. and bennett had to wait and negotiate and wait again . and then to the surprise of allies and critics alike, been joined forces which appeared to become israel's newest prime minister. although his men, a party took just 6 out of a 120 seats in parliament. he now heads up 8 political parties, each with a very different political agenda. counting many to ask just how long he'll sit in the top seat. the hardships of establishing the unity government all behind us. we will work together in partnership with responsibility in order to mend the rift in the nation and immediately return the country to a normal functioning one. after a long period of paralysis and quarrel. but looking at how he got they been as wise shows nothing is as impossible as it foreseen. especially not when it comes to really politics for the vision really need to show and defend our

democracy. and we are very well to be having say that the coalition, the new and very valid and we know that they got only the most out of 120 and they many different families left life. only one thing in common with these guys, we move them into now out of the fall in doing a finish, 12 you there, but i think that will be the 1st and last the shipment of the new government because it will be paralyzed because you have left and rice mixed together, logical f, like i don't think you would be any made your point. you rated me there were radical economy plus issues. because on the other issue, you will not be able to get that consent to move forward. and it will be a challenge for them only if they will be able to extend the government and the ad

will then maybe we'll be able to speak about the idea of new quality. is one of the european football championship house cities. now some petersburg, west novak here, we'll face poland and a couple of hours time and also the world's most lethal striker, robert live in dom sky. all thieves correspondent alex, the irish jessica in russia is northern capital. good to see you. alexi has atmosphere building is found to gather for that match in a couple of the well, i can tell you the atmosphere has been absolutely electrifying here after a relatively silent invasion of the belgy and fans into saint petersburg just a fortnight ago. the locks and the poles are making a crazy noise in st. petersburg. i've just been to the center of the city where i saw a huge contingent of polish fans. jeff, going absolutely wild thinking their songs and bringing that flavor, which we of course have all been missing since the drinking he woke up in russia.

of course, the numbers are much smaller than what we saw 3 years ago, but indeed, the decibels in what the polish fans have been thinking in the st. petersburg have been at high as during the moon the out in russia 3 years ago. then i took the train to the stadium where a huge horde of flo vakio found inside the train and there was singing their songs and absolutely jolly man. i've oscar both sides of both sets of supporters about the chance before the game. it's no secret to anyone that the polish jima leah favorites to win this. but typically, as you said earlier, because they have the world leave one of the most legal strikers in the world, robert live, and him on their rags. of course he is stopping tonight, slovaks on the dogs, but you know how it goes and football. sometimes the dogs, apple, the miraculous result. but now let's listen to what the fans had to say about the upcoming game. and thank you to that i oh rush, iowa football. i love love like yeah,

i love every single disconnection through their asha and the football players and everything. yeah. you can, you know she can. yeah. we just need the slow voc key. yeah. yeah. i love to come back here. it's my 1st time and i hope you and something my stuff still debatable did not match. scuffle vac. yeah. go saying that it will go out of school, but we are pretty. how should i? yeah. you read a book? yeah. you read a book so you see how positive divides among both that self support us. yeah. although this happen if comes with a bit of

a pinch of thought, of course, 1st of all cool of it isn't going anywhere. st. petersburg just introduced more restrictions in following an escalation and the number of numbers here in the city and pretty much in all major cities in russia as well. from now on, all the food in the found zones will be prohibited. only soft drinks available on fail. the restrictions also apply to nightclubs in restaurants from 2 o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock in the in the morning. they will not be open to the public. and also quite interesting. i haven't seen as much policemen as today in the previous days of the year 2020 years. but that is because of course everyone remembers what happens. what happened in 2012, when the euros were taking place in poland, ukraine, and when polish and russian found clashed in war so. so this time a quite a special feed russian policeman was joined by polish policemen, patrolling the streets and making obviously all the efforts to console the crowd.

last night polish friends were going wild in one of the central streets in st. petersburg. but the joined police force of fallen in russia was to make sure nothing happened. of course, we're keeping each of the ground here. we'll see whether any trouble happened this time. i will also go into the stadium right now, and we'll report later on what the anti called measures. then use trick measures mean for the game tonight. yeah, no doubt, that will come experience of any of the past couple of stunning the city. good stead to these pandemic challenges. electric to see we'll check in with you later. thank you. the next though, a top european medicines agency official suggests ditching the astrazeneca covey jobs for all age groups, because of war is over. blood clotting from european countries have already suspended its use charlotte events. he has the full story. well, this is the latest below to astrazeneca and confidence perhaps in the drug. this is a senior official at the european medicines agency who is now suggesting it should be ditched for all age groups that many countries have put restrictions on the use

of astrazeneca, many only giving it to old age groups after those links with possible. very rad, but free to blood clots. now, this warning comes from marco capillary, who is the head to the use drug related conveyed task force. so he was asked a very specific question, what the health authorities should avoid giving astrazeneca to those in the older group over sixty's. this is how he responded. yes, in many countries, such as france and germany are considering it in the light of greater availability of m r n a vaccines. now, just to point out the e m. a official position remains the same when it comes to administering astrazeneca that it is safe and effective in the fight against coven 19. however, those links to those red but free to blood clots have seen a huge problem in the confidence of many people in that job. people across europe

saying look, we're not going to take it of the countries, of course, putting those restrictions in place. one of the latest is italy, who's restricted the use of astrazeneca to those over the age of 60, and that comes after the death in the last few days of a t. danger in, you know, the 18 year old, died off the suffering from a brain hemorrhage and also from abdominal blood clots and very serious effects to astrazeneca that she had though this is a girl called camilla capachana connector, who was 18 years old. she is known to have had some underlying health conditions already. but the surgeon who operated on her in attempts to save her life, said even what he saw shocked him. i had never seen a brain reduced in those conditions by from bosis, so extensive and so severe. all the venus sinuses were obstructed by some, by

a scenario i had never seen in my many years in this profession. from the pitch i saw that girls had it is clear, we are facing something not normal. now the e. m. a is consistently reviewing astrazeneca, updating its advice on possible side effects. in the last week, it's identified yet another side effect. this isn't very rare blood conditions called pillory leaks in drug. and basically what that means is the tiny capella reads the blood vessels and all bodies would leak out fluid, which could cause swelling in limb, such as the arms and legs, and also can cause a thickening of flood. so that is now in the side effect that has to be listed on the asterisk and it could job without being administered. all of this comes, of course, as the european union and the astrazeneca makers been battling out in the court. so the allegations astrazeneca breach this contract, by failing to supply the number of dos is that it should have to be you asters. anika says the problem is work. who was by manufacturing. so there's nothing that

they could do with the e, with calling for millions of years in compensation for based on the verdict is you will not now in the next few weeks at the latest. so concerns about astrazeneca, about the idea that it should be administered. the other drugs should be using said, though, are only likely to cement this view for many across the continent that astrazeneca is no longer trustworthy. across the atlantic, the number of daily covey cases is rising in some nations in central and south america. one of them venezuela says the us sanctions is stopping it from getting vaccines by blocking a $10000000.00 payment to the global kovacs game. while the caribbean nation of trinidad and tobago has received just 800 vials of the cova jab enough to inoculate the 200 people in a population of 1400000 separately, jo biden's pledge half a 1000000 doses to poor nations, but as eager to don off reports next, the promise comes with a catch. the time has come,

our lord and savior from cove. it is here. after months of holding, joe biden is ready to break america's vaccine coffers and grace. the unfortunate ones. generously, united states will purchase a half a 1000000000 doses of pfizer, coven, 1900 vaccine, to donate to nearly 100 nations that are in dire need. in the fight against this tend to make a virtuous act of philanthropy. but as the right hand give us the left one, take us and take of strictly from those countries who have been quite naughty in america's eyes. as the vice president delsey rodriguez just announced venezuela has paid off all its commitments to the kovak mechanism to purchase vaccines. however, the bank is arbitrarily blocked the latest payments and they are under investigation crime. this kovacs is a u and back to initiative aimed at equitable access to coven 1900 vaccines. no one

is safe until everyone is the un is preaching, but the us apparently is putting a spin on the rule because define everyone, even louis of mathematics have exceptions. maybe this rule should to be nice to the us or never get vaccine. and even if you somehow manage to brew your own concoction, like q, but did, they still can get you. cuba needs roughly 30000000 syringes for the mass covert vaccination campaign and a short 20000000. cuba is used to surviving on the americans hydraulic press of sanctions. but one would assume a global pandemic is a good time to be the bigger person. and a said dominance through our tourism, but apparently not. iran has been ringing the alarm along with venezuela and cuba accusing the us of the same thing, bothering them from obtaining vaccines. we signed a vaccine agreement with

a country, but the americans blocked it. they americans came and put pressure in the companies that supply parts of the vaccine from abroad. and block 10000000 doses of vaccine they were supposed to import into the country. so what do you run? venezuela and cuba have in common apart from horrid cove in 1900 statistics. well the question is so rhetorical, it's borderline vulgar. they're all the bane of america's existence and the rough voices inside the u. s. very much opposed to helping such nations. i strongly disagree with the biden administration on their global vaccine rollouts. we should help our eyes 1st, instead of letting a 3rd party decide where the vaccines should go. since there are not enough vaccines. should we help india or iran? we should help india 1st. what happened to the us shaming others left and right for using vaccines as a geopolitical weapon, as vc, it, we are concerned about the use of the attempted use of vaccines as

a means of diplomacy by russia and china vaccine diplomacy that undermine sovereignty. well, it's only bad if somebody else's sharing their ceremonies with other countries. washington is the only power allowed to view their jobs as a literal arsenal. just as in war to america, the arsenal of democracy in the battle against covent 19 pandemic. our nation is going to be the arsenal of vaccines for the rest of the world. so you better believe an uncle sam, the all mighty. it'll be quite unfortunate to have the plague on both your houses. otherwise, the possible really says catalogue independence leaders has triggered mass protests in spain. tens of thousands, including the heads of 3 right wing parties gathered in madrid. central square hats off for the deputy prime minister announced the potential pardoning of 12 separatists behind a failed independent present in 2017. the government says liberties would com.

tension in capital. demonstrate is viewed as a threat to national unity. according to the latest survey, significant majority of the country is against the plan to central southern russia and $22.00 people have reportedly been injured by a large blast in the city of novice to basque, with 8 currently in critical condition. the explosion came after a fire broke out as a petrol station. firefighters were hampered by thick smoke, but they've since managed to put out the blaze and wraps it up for the moscow news room for now. thanks for watching. i'm calling brought back with you next update and around half an hour. see me. ah, do it again. which phoenix has actually got

an uncovered face men's clothing and showed a host? it's a kind of f can feminism name is how camino above the clergyman of some of the home other that of us is up on the job, but you don't want me. she lives in one of the most dangerous and patriarchal provinces of africa has done cost gala lacey which time i miss dash, oh no, i shall did that update it anyway. i'm glad that i got the notes that she does her best to fight for women's rights. i am not able to get that done. as you know, what i do, i know that she's not here by her nickname. the king was i got that much other that was really good.
