hello, there was a got a recall of much other than was really a good one day. and i the headlines this i know stability or predictability from america for me to, to regret the state of the relationship with the u. s. in an interview with nbc head office for summit, with president pied. meanwhile, bob white and rooftop snipers overshadow the nato summit in brussels, where lines chief double dime on supposed to threat from russia and also china and joe biden promises half a 1000000 doses. if you read jobs report nations, but it seems they won't be available for every party. we look at how washington is favoring its allies, rich folks, ah,

either good, even just go 9 o'clock here in moscow. you watching archie, international, stability and predictability. so you to the keys to international relations according to vladimir putin, in an interview with america mbc use and also said the us had fail to play its part when he was speaking ahead of his 1st some president biden on wednesday by critics to predict awkward conversations and relations can actually be repaired earlier. the white house also called though for stability and predictability with the kremlin and earlier in the for trying, can tell me whether that means the leaders are actually on the same page. interesting how mister colton was using the exact same words saying that stability and predictability are the essentials of proper international relations and are also the key pillars of bilateral ties that are good enough when

there's trust to be built. but then mr. poodle went on to say that it's the russian side, that is getting none of that from the white house for years he began by mentioning libya, where were was on least 10 years ago that was back in 2011. then he went on to talk about of ghana, stan and the so called the mood swings by different us administrations on whether to pull troops out or not pulled troops out the, the question from the russian leader is the same. how can we predict, how can we hold talks, how can we come to the table to sort this or that issue if we don't know what's happening next. and the moved on with the middle east and syria. mr. newton was frank that in his conversations with us officials, the most senior ones with diplomat, he sometimes asks at a right question. if you want president assad to leave, then who is going to fill that vacuum and what is meant to be happen next. and he's not getting that answer from the u. s. so perhaps we are to expect the what should

leader to bring these things up during the summit, and possibly, he will be looking for that stability and predictability. but we know that joe biden wants to same, but he's talking about something completely different. that's human rights that cyber attacks. well, i guess we can move on to the cyber attacks and because it's been in the news again, has an it has paid and responded to those us claims of russian cyber attacks. i can quote here, cure simon said that he's got a weight of evidence that rushes behind cyber attacks on us institutions, an infrastructure, and then began listing them. he said, let me give you 5. in particular, he mentioned the cyber attacks on the selection system in the year 2016. then in 2020, he mentioned the colonial pipeline hack and so on and so forth. but then

a lot of our prudent almost instantly responded by saying, well, these are the political statements that are being made by us politicians and us government agencies. also, that's something that we keep hearing from the us media, but that doesn't equal to presenting actual proof. and evidence for that, the american relationship is always been a victim of the vicious political influencing within the us. we see it's, we're well aware that we've been accused of all kinds of things. election interference, cyber attacks, and so on and so forth. not once, not one time, did they both to produce any kind of evidence or proof. just unfounded accusations . i'm surprised that we've not yet been accused of provoking the black lives matter movement. that would have been a good line of attack, but we didn't do that. so now the intrigue of the summit is whether joe biden will just keep pressuring russia and basically, given vladimir putin

a rebuke for the cyber attacks. or will he dare to cooperate? and maybe get to that point when the 2 countries could start building that legal framework, another topic they want to pressure, you know, nice, i'm electing the valley, but i mean, let's be honest, most case position on that is pretty clear, isn't it? the discussion got to the point when it was heated. at one point latimer prudent even told the and b c journalist don't gag me. so this was a conversation which was very difficult for both of them. i mean, bottom, i really wanted to give some context to the situation where the likes involved in particular and the organizations that are now outlawed in russia. that's like saying about these anti corruption fund. the nbc correspond also brought up some media that were labeled as foreign agents in this country. but mr. prudent said that the foreign agents law isn't something that moscow invented in response

to that. here simon said that a lot of my food was actually in the midst of what about isn't? that's what they're calling it. in the west, mr. newton disagreed with that. so there was a bit of a verbal skirmish there. at one point though, the nbc journalist asked algebra a direct question, did you, where are you willing to assassinate, like seeing them on the mr. prudent said no, we don't have a habit of doing that. perhaps it's going to be even more heated and difficult when bottom or potent meets joe biden. unfortunately, the cameras won't be there for that entire chat. okay, well, let's discuss all this further than i with geo political. am this patrick kenning? cindy join, just good evening patch reagan. what are your expectations them for the summit? you think we'll get anything close to some sort of reset?

i'm not, i'm not going to bed on that. i don't think it's just judging by the comments by joe biden, and of course he's got the entire democratic establishment, political and media establishment behind him. and that is that the caricature of russia has not developed much in recent years. there. it's still in america very in vogue politically, to characterize russia this monolithic, backwards state, which is micro managed by the former k g b head vladimir, who, knowing that is the image of russia and every single story line. every plot from the intelligence agencies, everything is kind of revolves around that view of russia and it's a very comfortable position for the u. s. and but so biden kind of will fit neatly into that. but i think joe biden actually is, may be actually a little bit more smarter than people give him credit for because he's got a lot of experience in the ukraine during his time as vice president. so he knows

how formidable vladimir putin and the russian political establishment is. the state is when it comes. so he's not going to be able to blag it with couldn't. and i think biden knows that. and that's why there's some trepidation in some of his comments. he's being a little bit conciliatory. he knows that he is and he says one thing to the u. s. media. yeah, i mean that's the feeling you get, isn't it? when you look at the commentary that comes from both these ladies before this, they both take very severe lines in the sand on certain issues, but suspect when they get talking they will be talking about key issues where they feel perhaps they could cooperate and the way you feel that may lie? well in terms of a few interesting points came up, one was this discussion about reciprocity of prisoners or people who are serving time in the, in russia for as be nice. for instance, the whalen incident as well then also vice versa. people in the u. s. system that

there could be some kind of a swap. i don't, that makes it that's good to talk about, but i do not see the united states doing that simply because the u. s. cherishes all of these potential opposition, figures or characters as assets in their war against russia, information and political organs, russia. so there's, i don't think they're gonna make much progress on that. they'll talk about it. i don't see the u. s. a green to anything. and there's also the issue of nato, and this is obviously going to be a big concern for russia. but again, i don't see the united states giving any consolations with regards to the advancement and the pressure which nato is putting on. this is what was happening at the g 7 the announced a new atlantic charter. i mean, this are the us and britain and their allies already spelled out that they're going to continue to posture in an aggressive fashion against russia. so it doesn't leave

a lot in terms of negotiations and leverage. they are, it seems to be all take from the u. s. and no give it, doesn't it? when he, when he put it like that, but they have like what they do want to talk about. so you the environment cove, it cybersecurity say you would shane. there's been a lot of talking before they've even got close to the table on wednesday to decide you know what they can and can't do, and it's not going to look good for either lead or if they decided nothing and just argued for a few hours. sure, i mean, russia knows what they're up against, you know, because if you're talking to the u. s. leader, it's a summit. it's joe biden, but you're really talking to the u. s. plus all of its nato allies. and the reality is, in terms of offensive cyber operations information warfare. russia has to deal with the cia, nato nato information warfare units, g, c, h, q, 77th brigade, the integrity and of type projects, all the miriana of civil quote,

civil society organizations that are dotted around the baltics active were visa. ve the situation in bella? ruse that ukraine is well, not to mention the hostilities in the ukraine in ukraine. and the fact that the united states is single handedly torpedo dominguez accords consistently really for the last 5 or 6 years, then making sure that that makes the cords are not realized. so maintaining that arc of tension with regards to ukraine. so there's that plus the issue of syria, that's almost on the back burner in comparison to europe right now with regards to what suppressing matter for russia and also for the west. so it's a, it's kind of a weighted game to in the u. s. is talking like it's a bilateral summit, but it's not, it's really, it's the rush of versus a multilateral phone on the other side of the table. and so this is what depresses

will never characterize in the west. you know, so they're not going to be honest about what their real issues are and what's really at stake. me very interesting though, isn't it, patrick? but we'll have to wait under the 48 hours to see what comes out of it. thanks for coming on. that was patrick henderson. geo political analyst night. bob why? meanwhile, and a massive police presence are covering brussels as it plays host to that nato summit. taking place and just 48 hours ahead of those. holly anticipated talks there between the russian and us leaders. the lines has set a pretty aggressive tone and they moscow among its major challenges with more have all europe correspondent, pacer oliver. well, it was a longer than expected meeting at the end of it, yet, stultz and bird, the nato secretary general said that the alliance faced multifaceted threats. it was clear from the communicate that they put out on the statement,

the insult gave to the press exactly who they believe those multifaceted threats come from russia mentioned 63 fine. china mentioned 10 times, in fact, the nato secretary general saying the lions members need to think twice about not only the, the business dealings they have with china, but also the security relationship they going to have with china as well. a lots of focus as well on the relationship with russia, in relation to the upcoming meeting between joe biden and vladimir food. and our relationship with russia is at its lowest point since the cold war. and moscow aggressive actions are affected to our security will keep over the fence a strong while remaining ready to talk. china is rapidly expanding its nuclear arsenal with more warheads and the larger number of sophisticated, sophisticated delivery systems. it is opaque in implementing its

military modernization. it is cooperating militarily with russia, including through exercises in the you to your atlantic area, salt and berg described nato is the world's most successful alliance, quite in contrast to how glad to me at food and sees it. he's described nate, so as a relic of the cold war and said that nato is message seems to really be the message that washington wants as opposed to the message of all of the members of the alliance, jo biking was speaking at the, the nate, so conference that took place at nathan headquarters in brussel to the rolled into town. he brought with him an awful lot of security. we've had helicopters hovering overhead in brussels all day snipe is on the roof. bob wire and manhole covers welded shut. all part of that security operation, the us president said that he believes that nations need to rally behind

democracies. however, a poll taken globally showed that only 17 percent of those thought that the united states was a democratic leader. globally. we gauge the temperature of those in berlin in london, and paris is the page to 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 hold you to look up your 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 front. 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. you know, going to be almost as if, as we saw her think so under the issue of migrants at the mexican border global warming, the covey crisis, not just is not a good example for the countries. joe biden will stay in brussels on tuesday. we'll be holding meetings with you leaders. then he heads here to geneva for that all important summit with russian president vladimir putin while relations between moscow and washington. i was frosty, as they've been since the cold war i will in the meantime, let's go to st. petersburg, where the has been an upset at the european football championship. so back here a bit in poland to one in their opening game of the tournament. we get the latest now. go to our correspondent. he's been watching it for select sierra chev sky. see you hint that could be an upset this afternoon. that's what we got. was it a deserved victory? would you say?

well, i believe it is. it is absolutely deserve victory for slovak. here they went into this game as clear under dogs, but eventually they didn't really possess the ball. they didn't really create lots of chances, but they created enough to win. this game cannot diminish the quality of how the polish to play to play very well may be war a bit unfortunate at times, but nevertheless, i never judge the way to live. i can't use the deserved when of this one. it's a to one school and may be the 1st sensation of the euros. so far. got to tell you the atmosphere around this game has been much, much louder than the previous get hands in petersburg when belgium was playing against russia. both the poles and the slow box have brought a lot of noise into the venice of the north. we were roaming down the streets and the emotions were very positive and very loud. maybe not quite comparable to what we saw 3 years ago in saint petersburg during the world cup, but still this was quite a show in central streets and also on the subway. i went on a train with

a couple of flock, your friends, and they were absolutely berserk in that trade and singing songs and spreading the positive vice. well, they didn't know they would become when is eventually in this game. but now that's the case in the long run. now let's listen to what the fans of both slovakia and poland told us in the streets of saint petersburg. la shy, was football. i laughed. love like yeah, i love every single disconnection through their asha and the football players and everything. yeah. you can you most the audio blu shot, but the slow voc key. yeah. yeah, i love to come back here. it's my 1st time and i hope you in something. 2 to do my stuff, to put it so much. now, mich,

close customer back. yeah. there we go. thank that. it will go out of school, but then we have a house you to yeah, you read a book because yeah, you read a book. well, as you can see, the vibes have been very positive from both sets of fans here in st. petersburg. this comes with a little bit of a pinch of sold, of course the security has been very, very high, keeping in mind what happened in 2012 when the polish and russian fans class in warsaw during the year 2012. and i've seen also russian policemen walking alongside polish, policemen in collaboration to prevent any kind of champion. thank you so much. that's been with no trouble so far, but we'll see whether that's the situation is going to change. i'm sorry, i got to work here my, my friend. see that the fans are all around the football team here. anyway. i also have to say the corporate measures are not going anywhere as well. the i've been tough measures and st. petersburg over the last 24 hours, no food in the fans,

or been served right now. but all and all the fees to football continues. then on wednesday, we're going to see russia squaring off of swearing off again. solvent, vinland, which is very important game for russia. em fealand respectively. so keep in mind, watch our broadcast here from say be to book will bring you all the details on the grounds. certainly looking for it. it looks like if you find the turned up early to thanks like that was like, he shifts the reporting for us that in st. petersburg. we're going to take a quick break, but we'll be back with monique in about 2 minutes. ah ah, with

me. ah. ah, i use join me every thursday on the alex simon 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 the the me

ah, welcome back and our top european medicines agency official has suggested ditching the astrazeneca co jump for all age groups because of concerns over blood clotting . some european countries have already suspended it. she's shot it davinsky has the story. well, this is the latest below, 2 astrazeneca and confidence perhaps in the drug. this is a senior official at the european medicine's agency who's now suggesting it should be ditched for all age groups. that many countries have put restrictions on the use of asher. seneca many giving it to old age groups after those links with possible very rad fee to blood clots. now, this warning comes from marco capillary, who is the head of the use drug related conveyed task force. so he was asked a very specific question where 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 in the 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 covert 19. however, those links to those rare but fatal 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 a really, who's re 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 abdomen or blood clots and very serious effects to

astrazeneca that she had though this is a girl called camilla compared to connect. but who was 18 years old? she is known to have had some underlying health conditions already. but the surgeon who operated on her in attempt to save her life, said even what he saw shocked him. i had never seen him brain reduced in those conditions by from both his so extensive. and so severe all the venus sinuses were obstructed by from 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 it to advice on possible side effects. in the last week, it's identified yet another side effect. this is a very rare blood condition called pillory leaks in drugs. and basically what that

means is the tiny capella reads the blood vessels that all bodies would leak out fluid which could cause swelling, limbs, such as the arms and legs, and also can cause a thickening of flood. so that is now a new side effect has to be listed on the asterisk and that 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 reached its contract by failing to supply the number of doses that it should have to the you asters. anika says the problem is were caused 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 shouldn't be administered. the drugs should be using said, the only likely to cement this be for many across the continent that astrazeneca is

no longer trustworthy. well, the number of daily cave cases is rising in some nations of censure in south america. one of them venezuela says the us sanctions is stopping it from getting vaccines by blocking a $10000000.00 payment, the global kovak scheme. meanwhile, the caribbean nation of trinidad and tobago has received just 800 vials at the cave job. that's enough to knock late, only 200 people in a population of 1400000 separate h. i biden has pledged half a 1000000000 doses to poor nations. but as you go, she donna explains. 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 5 coven, 1900 vaccine,

to donate to nearly 100 nations that are in dire need in the fight against the stand demik, 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 19 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 every one, even lose of mathematics, have exceptions may be 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 covey, the vaccination campaign, and they're short, 20000000. cuba is used to surviving on the americas hydraulic press of sanctions, but one would assume a global pandemic is a good time to be the bigger person. and a said dominance throughout 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 on 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, ron, venezuela and q, but 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 there are 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 vaccine 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 v. c. 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

a battle against coven, 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 almighty. it will be quite unfortunate to have the plague on both your houses. otherwise, some of the world news and the possible release of capital and independence leaders is triggered mass protests in spain. tens of thousands, including the heads of 3 right wing parties gathered in madrid center square here. that after the deputy prime minister announced the potential pardoning of 12 set protests behind the failed independence attempt in 2017 government says their release would come tension in catalonia, however, it demonstrates the student view it as a threat to national unity. and according to the latest survey to a significant majority of the country is against the plan a chemical plants explosion in the us.
