ah, the in the, in the in the headlines issues at lunch time, setting the tone for the some i let him approach points to the anti russian rhetoric that coming from washington as he's grilled american tv about jailed opposition leader likes in the valley. cyber attacks and moscow's military build up to prove 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 that. we had to the geneva summit coming up tomorrow, biden cole's food and worthy adversary. yet avoid giving a direct answer about whether or not he still thinks posted as a killer. is that still your beliefs or that he is a killer?

especially the 1st question. i'm laughing to switzerland, boost security, adding manpower, and fly over restriction sooner to ensure safe the upcoming biden foods in summit correspondent checks out the venue in geneva for us to the villa where job without food and are going to meet. obviously, security here is nothing to laugh at. i every good day for most of the 15th to june. it's kevin, over here for the next 30 minutes from asi international with our latest for you. great that you checked in then. first, wednesday, some it says leading with news agenda around the globe today and taking half of our bullets into the 1st us russia face to face of the vice presidency that is going to

be held in geneva. will it bring a reset of relations or could in fact spoil the years ahead? the who's is the big question before this somebody. putin gave an exclusive interview to america's nbc news. there was grilled on jailed kremlin critic election of i'll make a string of cyber attacks on the us as well as all manner of threats allegedly coming from russia. let me try and come next and pick up from there for you. 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 cobit vaccine researches 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 can because given ashley and i see 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, cyber attacks, and so on, 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 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. 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 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, and you ready to be the issue of targeting for us, a nation nominal russian jail. mister president, why are you so threatened by your position? who says that i feel threatened by opposition or we offer threaten by opposition.

so who told you that i'm scared by opposition? just lawful in the united states as a law on foreign agents with adopted a long time ago. it's in operation and sanctions under the law. much harsher than here up to and including imprison that you guys are better than you there. if you must a patient, let me finish saying what i mean to say everything will be clear to you what you don't like my on. so when you do those one, my own to be heard by your view is the problem was that you're shutting me up. is that freedom of speech? is that freedom of expression, the american way? and what can i ask you to make? just ask you a direct question. did you order, alexia volunteers, assassination? of course, you know, we don't have this kind of habit of assassinating anybody. that's the 1st thing that or 2nd, that i want to be due to the assassination of the woman who walked in 5th grade and

was shot and killed by police police. 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 poop 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 it's affairs and will keep up the friendship. both a does have admitted the us. russia relations are the lowest point in years. but jo buttons acknowledge to the potent is worthy adversary. i have met with him. he's bright, he's tough, and i have found that he is a,

as they say, when used to play ball a worthy adversary. the remark may be coming, this is a prize to manage. it wasn't that long ago that joe biden triggered those shock ways by calling it's russian kind of product killer journalist press. indeed, the u. s. president on whether or not he changed his mind about that. and controversial comment. 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 acknowledged that he was or certain things that he would do or did do. but look, when i was asked that question on air, i answer honestly. but it's not much of a, i don't know. i don't think it matters a whole lot in terms of this next meeting. we're about to have, you know, go ahead and repeat. you think he's a killer who i do. so 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 balances of me and sticks to you. and it's not just the children thing. the meaning is very deep present by regret, calling fatherhood and mckellar know that the president gave a direct answer to a direct question. but you, people 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 ahead of the

encounter, the u. s. leaders been intensely preparing with age to counter attack, the so called tactics of legitimate poach and officials and his team revealed also, president putin was apparently a topic of conversation during biden's t earlier with the queen of england. so geneva, the venue for the much anticipated one ones, also graceful. the talks as you'd expect, securities be wrapped up in that city, including restrictions on local space, on the deployment of thousands of extra troops and police officers. the presidents is set to meet the located in the library of the 18th century villa grows for was billed as a potentially heated debate. we heard from security officers that we caught up with a, by the potential risks. not a terrorist threat obviously exists, but practically it's impossible, but we are ready for that possibility. and we receive information from the geneva security apparatus that coordinates its activities with other parties. our troops

are ready to ensure the success of the person by the summit. i don't hit on this, he is a big challenge for switzerland given the importance of the sexual event for geneva . and so the country itself is the last meeting in geneva was held in 1985 as in every last 3 lovely looking place. and they are seated correspondent where it goes . dave takes a closer look. now how geneva is preparing more for that summit. leave is the villa where joe barton, vladimir putin arguing. that means obviously security here is nothing to laugh at thousands of troops as well as police officers patrolling the area of the utah leg for this area of the city would be locked down to everyone jarring the meeting, the pedestrians, the cause even to the aircraft. the boot 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. but that's of the reason and to

establish at least the semblance of trust, the understanding between russia and the united states. a lot of paddles are being drawn between the 985 meeting between gorbachev's and reagan, also here in geneva. except then, so to give you an idea of how far relations have fallen back, then reagan and gold, which were, they were all smiled as difficult to imagine biting them to, to be little, smiled the sob around the differences between russia and the united states. now they are tremendous, the 2 leaders will discuss all all manner of subjects from the miss cross the 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 breakthrough. during this meeting is a short,

a very official summit. and the summit said to be coordinated, they tend to be script that both sides of already agreed. what they'll say at the end, they both even be a mutual press conference, joe biden said the go, the host is relations off. and then incredibly sorry for that. it will be up to both the, the tomorrow, the set. but what the summit will also be an opportunity for all the senior officials and both administration to me then to mingle on the sod rod. perhaps that will be even more important than the meeting between button and pollutant priest scripted as it will be. so suddenly that the, the hope these, the, these summit will establish a foundation foundation in which russia and the united states will be able to build that relations doing into the future. and mainstream major in the u. s. has been pushing the us presence a talk to put in from a position of strength to check the headlines of michelle to their next is kellum

open. explains. it's the kind of fun club, the former president could only have dreamt 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 like 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 america's expectations are. this is what america stands for. 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, in the iden and his advisors. now say the goal really here is to, 1st of all, look, putting in the i are president biden, to look in the eye 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 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 potent. some had feared he embraced him, he validated him, he sided with 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 breast is going to spend the much awaited stomach. however, it's pretty safe to say, i will not get the same treatment as his predecessor say, look me up and are to new york. just a bit. i was supposed to talk to robert gucci, a journalist, and lecturer who believes the president's have got more to disagree on than to agree on. they're going to agree on showing each other mutual respect and looking like they know what they're talking about. they're going to disagree on which country is worse in terms of human rights. energy policy is nuclear weapons. the same old same old it'll, it'll look nice, but i'm not sure we'll walk away with a lot on the agreement side. well,

it's about believe ability and media organizations believe that audiences will believe the russian president or anybody else who's against you as a journalist. so i think there's a lot of people snickering in the background that they just, quite frankly, don't believe ladder are good and, but when you watch it, joe biden is responses to things that i like that come down that you did looking at how many seconds it took for by to really get to some sort of answer. you have to wonder if we're questioning biden's reality or food is reality. can we question biden's and is he really telling us the truth when he's sitting in front of a journalist when he's sitting there in a live conversation? ah ah,

i driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me dares thing. we dare to ask me any more big boy 1841. safety were at 1st offered to rog, 2011. there were about 40 or 50 people there. here in miami, we got 12000 tickets,

all the router. 184-5000 mat out a sick way to get set to go global, take over the global economy and put all the circle back out of the u. k. part of it anyway, a long way to look down easing in england. it's been pushed back by 4 weeks. a lot of people dismayed by the announcement came, made a surgeon code 19 cases with almost 8000 new infections a day. this new delta variance really spreading rapidly across england. it's been deemed to be up to 80 percent more transmissible than the previous dominant strain, the prime minister to get give out the bad news, but saying the same tommy hopes now this extra, extended locked can help reverse the deteriorating situation. he said,

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. the despite that worsening corrode of our threat though anti locked protests, is rallying near down the street in london, monday. you can see for yourself johnson shame on you and demanding freedom from all paper in the british capital to bible and to do the same dose for 6 months from one to be really positive and gets backseat speculated. and then to be told that, you know, 4 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 south and taking it further. thank you. a great idea, try and get that. i'm getting 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 now when new height could be, there are lots of people with businesses and things like that that really struggle connects fully freshly in the country just so much by these clubs, big venues. we talked about it a bit more with david livermore, he's a medical microbiologist at the university of east anglia. he thinks the delay is not justified. it's absolutely the wrong thing to do

the vulnerable of all been offered vaccination. the great maturity of why they accepted vaccination, locked down, has 70 prefects on the color move on to the chloe, fun, artistic glory for shoot. psychological damage has been done to people by the government. engendering so much fear the government should now be working to bump down that fear, because so many of the vulnerable to separated. because as we go for when we go to the future, india and dealt with the last one, we know the vaccines work against good protection in a chest is not now under both stress with cold, which would be the only justification the ever was for the restrictions we check a more headlines look at this, a massive fire burning at a chemical plant in rockford, illinois, and the states 45 departments have been called in to try to contain it at

a mandatory evacuation that has been ordered in the area 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. yeah, the key there, the product, they're not quite sure what the product is, looking for a huge explosion. fire is expected to last for days. people living in the vicinity or vice to where a master trouble avoid any chemicals in the air. people also being told to not pick up deborah from the 5 because officials are not totally sure what the waste may contain. some locals compared events to

a volcanic explosion. they said no reports of a serious injury. this fall, the 1553 here has been hospitalized with breathing difficulties. just ahead of those highly anticipated talks between the russian and u. s. leaders and nato, somewhat in brussels and set a pretty aggressive tone on monday. a paul from traditionally listing moscow among the major challenges. lions leaders declared that china poses a constant security challenge and is working to undermine global order. while the 30 heads of state and government avoided calling china arrival. it's still the 1st time that the usually russia focused military lines has asserted the need to respond to they james, growing power. we are concerned my child score ship policies, which is fine in contrast to different mental values, enshrined in the washington treaty. it is opaque in implementing its military modernization. it is cooperating military with russia,

including through exercises in the you to europe and era. beijing in 10, accuse nato flanders urging it to stop hyping up the china threat theory. diplomat . so i'll get the bay james defense budget is a fraction of that. of the lions which demands member state spend at least 2 percent of the g. d. p on defense. further, the chinese nuclear arsenal isn't even the same league as the u. s. is americas boom bust him got reaction from investigative journalist, ben swan, who believes china is becoming the new bogeyman for nato to keep the military block kind of relevant. you know, there is an important issue here and that is the nato issue. how russia has been the center of a lot of these attacks by nato, for so long they still are. but the fact that nato was now turning sites toward china. remember, nato is a very antiquated organization. it has had no real use since the end of the cold war. it has sought out enemies of some kind to create enemies. russia has been that

enemy now for about 20 years. it's intensified, certainly in the last decade and the last few years. and now i think they're turning their sides towards china as well. i think what we're going to see is kind of a tough stance, but i think we see nato really like taking cash. and now on this idea of creating new boogeyman enemies that keep it funded and keep it in their mind relevant the head of the french army step down saying he doesn't want to be in a position to be politicize ahead of the presidential elections in the country. it says that the nation follows political turmoil, the around the public letter, signed by retired generals, another army personnel warning president mc chrome director of a possible civil war. he showed you been ski, takes up the story. 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 while local and he's quitting,

admit around over his 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 old forces. his resignation came just to merge the calls government had for the general to summon 6 retired generals to a high disciplinary council over an open life that they and others published in april, which suggested the from me to the military coup. to 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 hands up for the admitted that they signed

the letter from phoenix to disciplinary measures, which could see them losing their pay and even their faces. while apparently laquanta wanted to handle the controversy behind closed doors. ministers had pressured him to speak out against the thinking trees. this apparently was the final straw. it's been a difficult feat for the conference. frances just nance, it's to end operation ball can in the saw how in africa a mission against you. hardest. so it's been fruit with failure. there's also been the halting of joint military operations, a molly following a recent ministry key, and that political crisis arising from 2 military forms. each warning of a brewing civil war. have also been rumors about him being on the front line against my call and making him the 2nd chief of defense,

the hand over his new over disagreements as from a j, a close to a presidential race. 60 polls showing that many serving in the military are likely to throw the loss in with the marine, the pen in war 7 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, i'll see paris. let's just not sure what we're talking about happening around the world from out of 10 to national so far this tuesday or the more than capable and the color break for the afternoon. the farmer after that for me though, kevin. oh and maybe catch again, tomorrow's covering those whole events in geneva for the day. and i have a good one. me

look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, accept where's the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to great track, rather than fear i would take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning with demon a robot must protect his phone existence with exist, the

ah, me the readings and the value taishan here in the united states of america, we are not just entering into the heart of summer, but we are also now officially neck deep. in our most patriotic time of the year, you see fresh off a memorial day where we celebrate it all you.
