in the world corrupted, you need to descend the join us in the depths. will remain in the shallows. ah ah, headline is tuesday morning setting the tone for the summit. let him pose in jokes about the russian rhetoric coming from washington. i'm surprised that we've been accused of provoking the black lives matter movement. that would have been a good line of attack, but we didn't do the head of that. geneva some a fight and cause put in a worthy adversary, yet avoid giving a direct answer as to whether or not he still thinks putin is a killer. nato summit for the 1st time to place china security risks. the military lines needs to respond to beijing is growing power.

ah, good morning from sco the 15th june. my name is kevin over here to international with the latest for this morning. and 1st, the intentions, the building ahead of the 1st us russia summit of the biden presidency. the u. s. president spit, intensely preparing parents with aides, to counteract the so called tactics of ladiva, uprooted officials and his team have been revealing. now. president putin was also a topic of conversation sharing by the tea with the queen of england as well. so geneva, the venue for the much anticipated face to face is also a brace for the talks. security is being wrapped up in the city, including restrictions on local s face and the deployment of thousands of extra troops and police officers. first off this morning, we see the correspond garcia following events. forest in jenny. this is the villa

joe barton will add to me putin are going to meet. obviously, security here is nothing to laugh at thousands of troops as well as police officers patrolling the area. the entire leg from the lease area of the city would be locked down to everyone during the meeting, the pedestrians guards even to the aircraft boots obviously to provide the 2 leaders with a common safe environment to discuss the many differences that both countries have to try and salvage what is left of relations, the data that there isn't and to establish at least the semblance of trust and understanding between russia and the united states. a lot of battles are being drawn between the 985 meeting between gorbachev's and reagan. also here in geneva, except and so to give you an idea of how far relations have fallen back, then reagan and gold, whichever they were all smiled at as difficult to imagine biting them to,

to the lord, smiled the sob around the differences between russia and the united states now while they are tremendous, the 2 leaders will discuss all all manner of subjects from the miss cross that they both have for each other to the global arms control to regional conflicts, financial and economic subjects as well as sabra tax. the com a change the pandemic. what both countries can do to work together. there isn't much of an expectation for a break through. during this meeting. it is a short, a very official summit and the summit tend to be coordinated. they tend to be scripted, both sides of already agreed, what they'll say at the end. they both even be a mutual press called for joe biden and said the go to host the 0. so relations are an incredibly sorry spot that it will be up to booth needed tomorrow to set the tone what the summit will also be as an opportunity for the senior official in both

administrations to meet and to mingle on the side law. perhaps that will be even more important than the meeting between button and put and have priest scripted as it will be. so certainly the, the hope these, that these summit will establish a foundation foundation on which russia and the united states will be able to build that relations doing into the future. well ahead of the meeting, put him, put in, spoke to america's m b. c. news where he mentioned that stability and predictability, a key to international relations and why it has called for the same from the kremlin elementary. and it looks at whether or not that means everyone's on the same page. and a day before history is made in geneva. vladimir potent latest comments brought a tricky debate into the spotlight. which superpower is worth, said. d, 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 store. they explained why he's confident it's the other way round family, a globe, the film list, and there's no, no, no, she knew the most important value in international relations is predictability and stability. and i believe it on the part of us upon that 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 events 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, boom, being withdrawn from afghanistan, it's got 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 more in theory

and what is stable and predictable about that was 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 on somebody and he has to be on for is old. the answer is that i don't know you well, if you don't know what will happen next, why change what there is? it could be a 2nd, libya or another, i guess. we need to, we will note little sit down together to look for compromise solution except the party. and that is how the ability to achieve it cannot be achieved by imposing one particular points of view of the correct point of view, whereby all the other ones are incorrect and that's not how stability is a g. at some point, the nbc 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 cobit 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 he can because given us, when you see the wrestler relationship is 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, cyber attacks, and so on. florida for 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 not yet 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, by, well, go for it or just keep blaming russia, promising more consequences. something else. the u. s. 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 to 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. prudent, 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, you ready to be issue of electing targeted for us a nation now and a russian jail?

mister president, why are you so threatened by your position? who says that i feel threatened by your position or will threatened by opposition? who told you that i'm scared by opposition? just lawful both in the united states law on foreign agents with 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 got better than you 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 when you said you don't want my own to be heard by your view as if the problem you're shutting me up is that freedom of speech? is that freedom of expression, the american way? what can i ask you to make? just ask you a direct question. did you order alexi navarro needs assassination? of course not. we don't have this kind of habit of assassinating anybody. that's

the 1st thing that or 2nd, that i want to ask you, did you do the assassination of the woman who walked in the congress and was shot and killed by police of the policies? a whole bunch of questions were about china were 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, china's aircraft carriers. and the way the chinese government's treating national minorities, the way mister pool read into these was quite surprising to the corresponded. he said he could feel how much the like to be 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 is a threat, won't metal, and its affairs, and will keep up. the friendship becomes the time that both leaders of admitted the us, russian relations at the lowest point in years. but joe biden acknowledge that putin

as a was the adversary. i have met with him. he's bright, he's tough. and i have found that there he is a, as they say, when he used to play ball a worthy adversary. that remark came as a surprise to many, not that long ago, joe biden, the coast to get shock waves by calling his russian kind of the public killer and journalist press the u. s. president on whether he changed his mind about that weekend interview, bottom or prudent laughed at the suggestion that you had called him a killer. is that still your beliefs are that he is a killer? especially 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 you know, veteran report, do you think he's a killer? i do what price must he pay? the price is going to pay. well, you'll see shortly due to me when, when i was a child and we had arguments in the courtyard, we were thing bound to the of me and sticks to you. and it's not just the children thing, the meaning is very deep in the present by regret calling part of our killer note

. the president gave a direct answer to a direct question which i want to avoid prison by didn't to continue discussion. but on the condition that it's going to be live online, we want to stable predictable relationship. ah, well parallel to this mainstream major in the u. s. has been pushing the u. s. president to talk to put in from position of strength to check the headlines. this kellum open explain snacks is the kind of fun type. of course the former president could only dream of us media. love joe. by now there's a few exceptions, but for the most part us, mainstream media describes joe biden as a protector of democracy. writing in a savior on a white horse. this is how he's being presented in the count down to his summit with the russian president. president biden is trying to be not only the loudest voice against authoritarianism in the world. but the best example of why the

authoritarian model is wrong, and he's not about delivering deals, but rather setting boundaries with russia, saying america is back to defending democracy. it looks like the white house trust the media enough that it can actually use them to plant the ideas it deems to be useful. being able to look, president, put in the eye and say, this is what americans expectations are. this is what america stands for, and this is what america is all about. we have a bipartisan agreement that the president has to be very tough regarding ransomware and look to in the eyes widen. and his advisors now say the goal really here is to, 1st of all look, putting in the i or president bought into look to in the i, and make clear where america stands and what will and will not be tolerated. so what exactly is special here? this is pretty much what would be expected from any us president. however, when biden does it, it sounds so glorious. now to folks recall when trump met with food back in 2018,

a little bit of a different vibe. now don't you think you have been watching, perhaps one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president at a summit in front of a russian leader showing that i've ever seen an extraordinary press conference. i don't think any american has ever seen a press conference quite like that from an american president and a russian leader who is described by all of our allies as an adversary and a dangerous one. following their meeting in helsinki, the president wasn't soft on vladimir putin, as some had feared him. him, he validated him, he cited was potent over the home team when given the chance. now trump had roughly the same goal, but apparently he wasn't half an hour. who really knows how the brass is going to spin, much awaited summit. however, it's pretty safe to say mighty, we'll not get the same treatment as his predecessor salem up and are to new york.

the us made changes, leaders know they think of them, but it still feels the same to try the same types of russia doesn't according to, to political and less, patrick heading said, caricature of russia has not developed much in recent years. there. it's still in america, very invoke politically to characterize to russia, this monolithic, backwards day, which is micro managed by the former k g b head, latter recruit. and 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. 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 is kind of a weighted game. and 2 in the u. s. is talking like it's a bilateral summit, but it's not, it's really, it's a rush of versus a multilateral pho,

on the other side of the table. ah . driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me dares thing we dare to ask

any for the boy what a 41 back to safety were at 1st offered rog, 2011. there were about 40 or 50 people there. here in miami, we got 12000 tickets, all the router, some estimates what a 45000 mat out, a sick want to get set to go global, take over the global economy and put all the circle back out of business. the. i guess we'll just add those highly anticipated talks between the russian u. s. leaders and they tow summit in brussels to set a pretty aggressive tone alliance leaders of declared that china poses a constant security challenge is working to undermine global order. while the 30

heads of state and government avoided calling, china arrival it is the 1st time the traditionally russia focused military alliance is asserted, its needs now to respond to a james growing power. moscow, of course, has been named a bug. it's major challenges to with europe. corresponded peter oliver. it was a longer than expected meeting at the end of a yan stalsen 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 installed to the 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. we are concerned my child score. syphilis is,

which is fine. in contrast to different mental values, enshrined in the washington, treat it, it is opaque in implementing its military modernization. it is cooperating military with russia, including through exercises in the you to europe and the area. i can see the motivation, we start slowing vice fine till january of 40 my re to for the natal, for the new ne, told you trying to be re repealed herself and trying to get more resources. now i think the, what the store them both telling us that he looks like to envision that nato should not be content. that is persons in europe. but actually natal, according to mister sloan, but thinking of extending her riches i, natal is particularly to china. but with the other countries, for example, fines, germany and also the u. k, for instance,

would be thinking about having a come and a new toy position. moving to the asia and even to the basic and actually have become an eye on, on talking on china. i think, i think, i think they would probably have a 2nd thought about it, because obviously, time under the pandemic, i don't think they would like to mess up the wrong or in china in the full broad scale like these sultan burg described. ne, so as the world's most successful alliance, quite in stark contrast to how vladimir putin sees it, he's described nato as a relic of the cold war and said that nato, his message seems to really be the message that washington once, 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. it brought with him an awful lot of security. we've had helicopters hovering overhead in brussels all day snipers on the roofs, barbed wire,

and manhole covers welded shots, 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 after thought that the united states was a democratic leader globally. 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 rather than using this tuesday morning, tell you, but massive fire burning it a chemical plant and rocked in illinois in the us. see those pictures of my shoulder massive plays with 45 departments have been called up to contain what's happening. and a mandatory evacuation is been ordered. were asking residents within the one mile

radius of the incident to, to evacuate. i understand that many people have questions on when they're going to be able to go home. right now. we don't have that answer. we had concerns on the environmental impact if we dumped copious amounts of water on this incident. so we stopped some of the water suppression, some of the fire suppression, and we went ahead and let the product burn off the other 5 spaces the last day. some people living in the vicinity or advice to wear a mask to try to avoid chemicals in the air. they're not quite sure what's got up there. peter also has to refrain from picking up for a debra from the fire, because officials are not sure what the waste may contain. some locals have compared events to a volcanic explosion. there are no reports of serious injury. thankfully though one firefighter's been hospitalized and breathing difficulties, will keep an eye on that for you throughout the day. that the french army is step

down saying he doesn't want to be in a position to be politicized. i had a presidential elections in the country. his resignation follows political term all around the public letters signed by retired generals, another army personnel warning president mccracken of a possible civil war shall do. ben's key takes up the story. for us. the head of the french army has chosen the nuclear option under a macro presidency resign rather than find himself stuck in a political crossfire. this is general folks why? because he's quitting, admit around over. he's handling over time general's accused of instigating insurrection. it seems he doesn't want to be dragged into the malay ahead of the next presidential election. the prison told me that he wanted us to continue working together because we have the same understanding of the role of armies. and i told him that i really wanted to leave, in particular to who had politicize ation of the function of chief of staff of the

own forces. his resignation came just to merge the calls government had for the general to summon 6 retired generals to a higher disciplinary council over an open life that they and others published in april, which suggested the from me to the military coup. just save it from work isn't. and islam isn't despite to polls showing that many people in front supporting the views . the retired generals who had held their hands up at admitted that they signed the letter, have been exposed to disciplinary measures, which could see them losing their pay and even their status. while apparently the court wanted to handle the controversy behind closed doors, ministers had pressured him to speak out against the signatories. this apparently was the final straw. it's been a difficult feat. month for the conference fonts. it's just nance. it's to end

operation volcano. in the saw how in africa a mission against you. hardest. so it's been fruit with failure. there's also been the whole thing of joint military operations. a molly following a recent ministry key and that political crisis arising from 2 military for and each warning of a brewing civil war. they have also been rumors about him being on the front line against macro and making him a 2nd chief of defense, the hand over his new over disagreements as from a j is closer to a presidential race. 60 polls showing that many serving in the military are likely to throw that last in with the marine, the pen in war. some say could be an extremely tight battle this latest resignation could raise more questions about president mike on whether as the pressure months

he could bundle his whole campaign. so let's even sky all t paris. in the u. k. a long awaited lockdown easing, there's been pushed back by 4 weeks. the announcement came amid a surgeon cove with 19 cases with almost $8000.00 new infections a day, a new delta, very, and spreading really rapidly across england and is deemed to be up to 80 percent more transmissible than the previous dominant strain. the prime minister hope's a locked and extension will help reverse the worst thing situation then. for week delay, we think would make even more of a difference in reducing the overall number of, of deaths. and that's why we're, that's why we're doing it. and at the end of the that period of, by, by july, the 19th, we do think that we would have built up a very considerable wall of immunity around the whole of the population. despite ration corona virus situation, anti locked protests, running down the street in london,

monday. something shame on you and demanding freedom we heard from people in the british capital, see what they thought by everyone to do that. that st. joe's for 6 months wants to be really positive and gets backseat speculated. and then to be told that you and them for weeks of things not being no being i've been it is it is very frustrating. it's who i like to come out with plenty of pen is now social distance ending going out and taking it for a great idea. try and get them get more people's like i don't agree with closing for the 4 weeks. so delaying everything because maybe they could have done something before lights trying not to open too quick. 2 people sitting inside because no one knew about the discovery. and so no one knew,

hired to be. there are lots of people with businesses and things like that and really struggle and actually, especially in the country just still tough times. we talked about it with david livermore, he's a medical microbiologist at the university of east anglia. he thinks the delay is not justified and it's the wrong thing to do. it's absolutely the wrong thing to do. the vulnerable of all been offered vaccination. the great majority of why the accepted vaccination, locked down, has 70 prefects on the column, the civic chloe fun, artistic glory for shewn psychological damage has been done to people by the government. engendering so much fear the government should now be working to bump down that fia, because so many of the vulnerable, protected. because as we go for when we go to the future,

india and dealt with the last one, we know the vaccines work against it. they give good protection, a chest is not now under both stress with cold, which would be the only justification the ever was for the restrictions we've. it's our policy, our hope, your day is going good. thanks for taking the time to check in with us as a snapshot. so what's happening around the world from our into national? so fathers, tuesday, moscow. kevin, and the team wishing you a super day the ah, the ah .
