facades conceal a deep indifference to the people the vice could have been saved if they would take an action. absolutely, keep the registering and keep the slot machines doing. this is a money machine is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost. the no stability or predictability from america. vladimir putin regretted the state of relationship with the u. s. in an interview with nbc ahead of his 1st summit with president biden, that is how stability is achieved. it cannot be achieved by imposing one particular point to view the correct point of view by an intern calls of put in a worthy adversary, yet avoid giving a direct answer as to whether he's still thing present as a killer joe biden promises half a 1000000000 doses of till the jobs poor,

poor nations, but it seems they won't be available for everybody. we look at a few or at how washington is favoring allies over foes. ah, broadcasting lives, i read from our studios in moscow. this is our team international. i'm john thomas . certainly glad to have with stability and predictability. those are the keys to international relations according to vladimir putin, in an interview with america's and b. c. news. and also he said that the u. s. had failed to play its part. he was speaking ahead of his 1st summit with president biden on wednesday, where critics predict awkward conversations and doubt if relations can be repaired . however, earlier, the white house, also called for stability and predictability with the kremlin, are decently. katrinka looks at weather. that means the leaders are on the same page. a day before histories made in geneva,

latimer potent latest comments brought a tricky debate into the spotlight. which superpower is worse, said de, stabilizing the world, or if any of them are doing so, the u. s. politicians in media for years have been trying to convince it's russia's bad and that moscow must be held accountable for president putin though, for the explained why he's confident it's the other way round. family, a globe, the simplest. and there's no, no, no, she knew the most important value in international relations is predictability and stability. and i believe that on the part of the us partners, this is something that we haven't seen in recent years. what kind of stability and predictability could they be if we remember the 2011 event in libya where the country with essentially taken apart, broken apart? what kind of stability and predictability was then there's been talk of a continued presence of troops in afghanistan. and then all of

a sudden boon troops being withdrawn from afghanistan is this predictability instability. again, what's now event in the middle east, i'm using the most i can, is this predictability and stability. what will all of this lead to, or in theory of what is stable and predictable about that? it's kind of us, my us counterpart. and if you want to leave it there, who will replace him? what will happen when he's replaced with somebody has to be on for is old. the answer is, i don't know. well, if you don't know what will happen next, why change what there is? it could be a 2nd, libya or another i've got, if we need to, we will note little sit down together to look for compromise solution that are acceptable for all parties. that is how stability is achieved. it cannot be achieved by imposing one particular point of view, the correct point of view,

whereby all the other ones are incorrect and that's not how stability is achieved. at some point b and b, c journalist said he's got quote unquote, a weight of evidence. a long list of alleged state sponsored cyber attacks by russia. among other things, he listed the 20162020 votes in the us, as well as hacker attacks on coven vaccine researchers, to which the russian leader responded pretty much getting back to the same old finger, pointing that the u. s. elite and journalists have been up to, doesn't equal to actually presenting facts which prove guilt, not i, he's can, we can get the machine. and i see that the american relationship has always been a victim of the vicious political infighting within the us. we see it's, we're well aware that we've been accused of all kinds of things. election interference, hi, bra tax and so on and so forth. not once, not one time, did they bother to produce any kind of evidence or proof,

just unfounded accusation. i'm surprised that we've been accused of provoking the black live matter movement. that would have been a good line of attack, but we didn't do that. it makes out unusual for some viewers who are used to the u . s. narrative, but the russian government is actually ready to work together with the americans on cyber threats and wants to outline the rules of the game and some sort of legal framework. the question ahead of geneva, though, is whether joe biden will go fort or just keep blaming russia, promising more consequences, something else. the us president is keen to challenge the kremlin boss on is what the west sees as issues with human rights in russia. well, it almost looks like the nbc, corresponding himself had a plan to take up that challenge instead of mr. biden. and it all led to quite an exchange with constant interruptions and mr. brewton, even stressing at one point,

don't gag me. let me ask you about human rights, an issue that a president biden will raise, mr. president and you were ready to be issue of alexi and targeted for fascination . nominal russian jail was the president. why are you so threatened by your position? who says that i feel threatened by opposition or will threatened by opposition? who told you that? i'm scared by opposition. he's just lawful both in the united states law on foreign agents was adopted a long time ago. it's an operational and sanctions under that law. a much harsher than here, up to and including imprison that you're talking about, you know, better than you're there if you must, the patients. and let me finish saying what i mean to say everything will be clear to you what you don't like my answer. and if you don't want my aunt to be heard by your view is, this is the problem you're shutting me up. is that freedom of speech?

is that freedom of expression? is that freedom of expression? the american way? can i ask you to make, just ask you a direct question. did you order, alexia volunteers, assassination? of course not, we don't have this kind of habit of assassinating anybody. that's the 1st thing that or 2nd i want to ask you, did you all do the assassination of the woman who walked into congress and was shot and killed by police officer when he sees a whole bunch of questions were about china. we're actually, i should say about the problems the u. s. government has with china, like bay jeans, reluctant to take part in arms control talks, chinese aircraft carriers and the way the chinese government treating national minorities the way mr. read into these was quite surprising to the corresponded. he said he could feel how much the likes of the us would love to break russia and china up and added that such questions also had absolutely the same purpose. not

a chance was his response. moscow doesn't see china as a threat, won't metal in its affairs, and will keep up the friendship. geopolitical analyst, patrick headings, and believes the u. s. may change its leaders, but it still feels the need to try out the same tired view of russia. caricature of russia has not developed much in recent years. there, it's still in america, very invoke politically to characterize to russia is monolithic, or we got that backwards day, which is micro managed by the former k g b head ladder recruit. and i mean, 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. it's, 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 a much, it's a rush of versus a multilateral pho on the other side of the table. the reality is russia has to deal with the cia, nato, nato information warfare units, g, c, h, q, 77th brigade, the integrity initiative type projects. but there is a growing friendship between beijing and moscow. you have only one party to the bank for that, and that's the united states and in europe in allies, by forcing us a raft of sanctions on russia. that's driving russia together, closer to china, closer to it's asian allies. you really have the u. s. and it's policies and the aggression of nato, as well to the bank for that happening during the nato summit, president biden was asked a bunch of questions about president putin and their future meeting, answer one biden highlighted, putting intelligence and strength. i had met with him. he's bright,

he's tough, and i have found that he is a, as they say, when he used to play ball a worthy adversary. well, we just heard joe biden say that on wednesday he's planning to meet a tough, bright, and worthy adversary. now those are certainly not the same words he's used to describe the russian president in the past will recall how earlier this year he referred to russian president vladimir putin as a quote killer. and those are not words. the world has quickly forgotten. however, he seems to be changing his tone a bit in the lead up to the important meeting scheduled for wednesday in geneva. this is what we've heard from joe biden weekend interview. vladimir putin laughed at the suggestion that you had called him a killer. is that still your beliefs are that he is a killer specially the 1st question i'm laughing to,

they actually well look. i mean, he is made clear that the answer is i believe he is in the past, essentially acknowledge that he was or certain things that he would do or do. but look, when i was asked that question on air, i answer honestly. but it's not much of a, i don't think it matters a whole lot in terms of this next meeting we're about to have. we've also heard some top talk from biden as well. biden said that he sinks to hold russia accountable for harmful acts. now, washington and european allies frequently discover harmful acts that they blame on russia often there is not very much evidence to confirm that, but regardless, we also heard biden say that america does not seek

a conflict with russia mixed signals, certainly. now the issue of ukraine is quite important at this point, biden is said that the united states does not seek to bring ukraine into the nato military alliance. that would, of course, bring american rockets right to russia doorstep pollutant has referred to that as the ultimate red line. but just days later, we're biden saying that he has not ruled out that possibility that they might consider bringing ukraine into nato. so, a lot of interesting mixed messages, perhaps biden is alluding to previous strategies employed by the united states when negotiating with russia. here's some of what we heard. i'd verified 1st and then trust, you know, when we, when you write to treaties with your adversaries, you don't say i trust you. you say this is what i expect. and if you violate the agreement, you may then we the quote, the treaties off the agreements off. and that's a subtle hint to the words used by ronald reagan. and he has meetings with

gorbachev that also took place in geneva. now the issue of nuclear proliferation is also going to be on the table. that's an issue where the states has long had the upper hand. so many are looking ahead to the very important meeting coming up wednesday in geneva, wondering if biden is up to the task, if he will measure up to some of his predecessors who have negotiated with russia. all eyes will certainly beyond geneva, it's going to be a very big de barbed wire and a massive police presence enveloped brussels as it played host to the nato summit. and just 48 hours ahead of those highly anticipated talks between the russian and us leaders. the alliance said a pretty aggressive tone named moscow among its major challenges. meanwhile, the president has said that america is not seeking conflict with russia, but when respond if moscow quote continued it's harmful activities? here's our europe corresponded peter oliver. but it was a longer than expected meeting at the end of it yet, stultz and berg, the nato secretary general said that the alliance faced multifaceted threats. it

was clear from the communicate that they put out on the statement against ultima gave to the press exactly who they believe those multifaceted threats come from russia mentioned $63.00 time 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's aggressive actions are affected to our security. we'll keep over the fence a strong while remaining ready to talk shine lies rapidly,

expanding its nuclear arsenal, with more warheads. on a large number of sophisticated, sophisticated delivery systems. it is opaque in implementing its minutes or more than its ation. it is cooperating militarily with russia, including through exercises in the you to your atlantic area, salt and berg described nato as the world's most successful alliance. quite in contrast to how glad to me at food and see that he's described, nate. so it was a relic of the cold war and said that nato, a message seems to really be the message that washington wants, as opposed to the message of all of the members of the alliance. joe biden was speaking at the the nate, so conference took place at nato headquarters in brussel to the rolled into town. he brought with him an awful lot of security. we've had helicopters hovering overhead and brussels all day snipers on the roofs. barbed 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 70 percent of those aft thought that the united states was a democratic leader globally. we gauge the temperature of those in berlin in london and in paris. it is the page for 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

valid if 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 is the biggest democracy in the world. i'm giving you more. whenever you come back, we still have things for under trump with a shift my glance at the mexican border global warming to corporate crisis, where united states is not a good example for the country. well, joe biden will stay in brussels on tuesday. well, 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 or the number of daily covered cases is rising in some nations of central and south america. one of them venezuela says us sanctions are stopping it from getting vaccines by blocking a $10000000.00 payment to the global kovacs scheme. meanwhile,

the caribbean nation of trinidad and tobago has received just 80 vials of the cova jab. that's enough to inoculate. only 200 people in a population of 1400000 separately, joe biden has pledged half a 1000000000 doses to poor nations, but that is eager to don reports next. the problems or the promise comes with a catch. the time has come. our lord and savior have 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 10 demi a virtuous act of philanthropy. but as the right hand give us the left one, take us and take us 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 us or never get vaccine. and even if you somehow manage to brew your own concoction, like cuba did, they still can get you. cuba needs roughly so to me, lance ranges for the mass covey 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 the 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 coven, $900.00 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 the 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 they see 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. while it's only bad, if somebody else is 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 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 you might see. it will be quite

unfortunate to have the plague on both your houses. otherwise, we spoke to the oxfam, cuba director elaina genji lee who believes a vaccination crisis is unfolding in the country because of us sanctions. creating a massive challenge for the health system there. definitely during the glockland make where the trump administration has implemented 55 new measures again against cuba has even more increased the challenges for the house to center respond to describe the situation is quite critical. however, the efforts to keep it under control, our employee will believe that the impact of nearly 6 day capes of sanctions imposed effects save us governments. on the coupon population have accumulated, you know, the efforts of the q going to help them to respond to this crisis. definitely, as you know, some broadly speaking, at the global level,

we're supporting the vaccines to be accessible to everyone everywhere. so it would definitely believe everything for tend to act international me as inclination getting station and try to internship cooperation to make it real on the st. petersburg now where there has been an upset at the european football championships. slovakia has beaten poland, 2 to one in their opening game of the tournament watching and for us was alexia shasky. 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 can play to play very well. may be war a bit unfortunate a times, but nevertheless, never judge the way us lucky is the deserved. when of this one, it's a $21.00 score and may be the 1st and station 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 polls, 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 phil, this was quite a show in the central streets and also in the subway. i went on a train with a couple of slovakia friends and they were absolutely berserk in that trade in the singing songs and spreading the positive vibes. well, they didn't know they would become when as eventually in the game, but 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, iowa, iowa food. well i love love like, yeah, i love every single disconnection through their asha and the football players and

everything. yeah. give out to you, but who can you most of the slow lucky. yeah. yeah. we have the house, you don't really know my stuff to put it so yeah, you read better boot. 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. the fans are all around the football team here. anyway, i also have to say the corporate measures are not going anywhere as well. they're,

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. keep in mind, watch our broadcast here from say, be to book will bring you all the details on the grounds. your top european medicines agency official has suggested it ditching the astrazeneca covert job for all age groups because of concerns over blood clotting. some european countries have already suspended its use, are too strong, pinsky has more. well, this is the latest below 2 astrazeneca and confidence perhaps in the drug. this is a senior official at the europe. 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 cover, larry,

who is the head of the use drug related conveyed task force. so he was asked a very specific question with 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 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 italy 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 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 the gills head. it is clear we are facing something, not normal. now the e. m. a is consistently reviewing astrazeneca, updating it's 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 drug. and basically what that means is the tiny ca pilloried the blood vessels in our bodies would leak out fluid, which could cause swelling in lim, such as the arms and legs, and also can cause a thickening of floods. 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 allocations, the astrazeneca breach the 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. but the e u is calling for millions of years in compensation for based on the verdict, if 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 other drugs should be using

said, though, are only likely to cement this be for many across the continent that astrazeneca is no longer trustworthy. or that is a for me, this are, i will be back with your headlines and let's say 30 minutes. this is our to introduce me i the ah
