was a super, like case studies the megacity transformations over the past decade. advance mega project most go in for 2021. the largest international congress on megacity development. setting the tone for the summit and redeem it points to the anti russian rhetoric coming from washington that he's grilled on american tv. about a jailed opposition leader, alexia valley. fiber attacks and moscow military build up supplies 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 a better neighbor, summit biting, cold permit, and a worthy adversary. debt avoids giving a direct answer as to whether or not he still things put in is a killer. is that still your beliefs or that he is a killer? especially the 1st question. i'm laughing to switzerland boosts

a security, adding manpower and fly over restrictions to ensure safety of the upcoming bite and proven summit correspondent checks out the venue in geneva. secure is nothing to laugh at thousands of troops as well as police officers patrolling the area. the leg front. ah, hello to you wherever in the world hill shooting and welcome to our see international. my name's call him right. first for you wednesday summit, his leading the news agenda around the globe today. the 1st us russia face to face of the biden presidency, which is going to be held in geneva when it bring a reset of relations or could it in fact spoil for years ahead? the who's

well before the summit, let me go and get an exclusive interview to america's n. b. c. news. he was grilled on jailed kremlin critical. lexi developed a string of cyber attacks on the united states, as well as all manner of threats, allegedly coming from russia. more on that next from india, patricia. at some points, 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 coven vaccine researchers, to which the washing 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 a he's can because given shania and i see the recently 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. 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 been accused of provoking the black lives matter movement. that would have been a good line of attack, but we didn't do that only 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 friends 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 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 by the will raise mister president, and he will raise the issue of alexia, targeted for a nation, nominal russian jail was the president. why are you so threatened by your position? who says that i feel threatened by your position or will threaten by opposition? who told you that i'm scared by opposition? just lawful in the united states law on foreign agents was adopted a long time ago. it's in operation and sanctioned under that law. a much harsher than here, up to and including imprison you got talking about, you know,

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 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? alexia 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 you. did you do the assassination of the woman who walked into congress 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 treating national

minorities the way mr. poop 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 is a threat, won't metal and its affairs, and will keep up the friendship. both leaders have made the us russia relations are at the lowest point in years. but joe biden acknowledges that it 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. a lot remark came as a surprise to many because not that long ago, joe biden, for good shock waves by calling his russian counterpart, keller, and journalists pressed together as president on whether he changed his mind.

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 know. i don't think it matters a whole lot in terms of this next meeting. we're about to have, you know, flat and repose. 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, we had arguments in the courtyard. we were thing found through the me and sticks the youth. and it's not just the children thing. the meaning is very deep and the present by regret calling fatherhood and the killer. i know that the president gave a direct answer to a direct question which people want to avoid prison by then to continue discussion . but on the condition that it's going to be live online, we want to stable predictable relationship. i had to be encountered. the u. s. lead has been intensely preparing for his aids to counter attack. the so called tactics of the d may petune which officials and his team of revealed president post and was also apparently a topic of conversation during biden's tea with britons, queen elizabeth and geneva the venue for the much anticipated one on one is also braced the talk security is being rammed up in the swift city,

including restrictions on local ass based on the deployment of thousands of extra troops and police officers. the presidents are set to meet in the library of the 18th century of the garage for wants build as potentially heated conversation. we heard from security officials, they're about the potential risks. seminar, stable is a terrorist threat, obviously exists, but practically it's impossible, but we are ready for that possibility. and we received information from the geneva security apparatus that coordinates its activities with other parties. our troops are ready to ensure the success of the tutor and by and summit, i'll sit and this is a big challenge for switzerland given the importance of the sexual event for geneva and for the country itself. the last such meeting in geneva was held in 1985, as in every last senior correspondent, i got the takes a look. next is how genevas preparing for the summit. this is the villa where joe biden and vladimir 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 leg from this area of the city will be locked down to everyone jarring the me to the pedestrian stuff cause even to the aircraft boom. obviously, to provide the to leaders with a common safe environment to discuss. but many differences that both countries have to try and salvage what is left of relations that, that of the theory 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 saw to give you an idea of how far relations have fallen back. then reagan and gold, whichever they were all smiled as difficult to imagine biting them. pooty,

the little smile, the sob around the differences between russia and the united states. now they are tremendous. the 2 leaders will discuss all all manner of subject 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 breakthrough. during this meeting is a short, a very official summit. and the sub that said to be coordinated, they tend to be scripted both sides of already agreed. what they'll say at the end, they both even be mutual press culprits, jo button that said the go to host his own relations off and incredibly sorry for that. it will be up to book the, the tomorrow. the set that's what the summit will also be as an opportunity for 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 cloud based upon station on which russia and the united states will be able to build that relations doing into the future. so mainstream major in the united states has been pushing the us president and talked to put in from a position of strength, just had a headlights and it's kind of open rip, explains. next is the kind of fang 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 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. i'm just 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 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 sound 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. based 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 tough enough who really knows how the brass is going to spin, much awaited stomach. however, it's pretty safe to say, my dad will not get the same treatment as his predecessor salem up and are to new york. well know about of the us down of the media biden. imposed to appear to have

more to disagree or agree. according to journalist electra, dr. robert gucci, 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 in a, against a us journalist. so i think there's a lot of people snickering in the background that they just, quite frankly, don't believe latimer booted but when you watch, joe biden, his responses to things that i liked. the count 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? where he's sitting in front of a journalist when he's sitting there in a live conversation. ah ah, ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy for patient, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, a very critical time. time to sit down and talk

rather driven by dreamer. the in me dares thing. we dare to ask me. ah ah, hello, get on to other headlined stories from around the world and a long waited lockdown evening in england has been pushed back by 4 weeks. the

advancement came into surgeon cobit cases with almost 8000 new infections a day. the new delta vary and spreading rapidly across england and his deem to be up to 80 percent more transmissible than the previous dominant strain. the prime minister, the hopes, the lockdown extension, will help reverse the deteriorating situation. 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 will have bill top a very considerable wall of immunity around the whole of the population. i just by the worse than corona virus threats, anti lock down, protest is relatively downing street in london. on monday. johnson you had shame on you and demanding freedom. some people in the british capital have been telling everyone to do the same dose for 6 months since 21 to be

really positive and gets vaccine vaccinated. 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 to, i like to come out with plenty of pen is now social distance ending going out and taking it for the think is a great idea to 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 to people teaching inside because no one knew about the death of i in. so no one knew hard could be. there are lots of people with businesses and things like that, and i really struggle and actually, especially in the country,

just medical micro biologist, david live a bowl from the university of east anglia, told us he thinks the delay isn't justified. it's absolutely the wrong thing to do. the full little of all been offered vaccination, great material. that's why the accepted oxidation lockdown has tele prefects on the column. the on to the glory, fun, artistic glory for all 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 because so many of the vulnerable because as we go for when we go to see future india and dealt with the last, well, we know the vaccines work against it. they give good protection, a chest is not now under vogue, stress recall,

which would be the only justification the ever was the restrictions with a massive fires burning a chemical plant in the us state of illinois. 45 departments have been called up to contain a place near the village of rock to mandatory evacuation 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 the 5 expected to last for days. and people living in the vicinity are advised to wear a mask and avoid chemicals in the people also be and i was told to pick up any day bri from the fire, because officials aren't sure what that waste might contain. some locals have

compared events to a volcanic explosion. luckily, there were no reports of any serious injury by one fire fighter has been hospitalized with breathing difficulties. were just ahead of those highly anticipated talks between the russian and the u. s. leaders and nato summit in brussels that are pretty aggressive tone on monday. a pop from traditionally listing moscow among the major challenges alliance leaders declared the china to poses a constant security challenge and is working to undermine global older. well, the 3rd he has of state and government avoided calling china arrival. it's still the 1st time that the usually russia focused military alliance as asserted, the need to respond to beijing growing power. we are concerned my child scores ship policies, which is fine in contrast to different mental values, enshrined in the washington, treat if it is opaque in implementing its minutes or more than it's ation. it is corporate militarily with including through exercises in the you to europe and aero,

reacting to that then bay higg accuses nato flounder urging it to stop typing up the china threat theory. diplomats argue the beijing defense budgets only a fraction of that to be alliance, which demands that member state spend at least 2 percent of the g. d. p on defense of the china nuclear arsenal. isn't even in the same league as in the united states . are teaspoon pasco, reaction from investigative journalist, ben swan, who believes china becoming nato's new bogeyman to keep the military block 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 is 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 in the me 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 that what we're going to see is kind of a tough stance, but i think we seeing 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 the position to be politicized. the head of the countries presidential election was resignation follows political turmoil around a public letter signed by retired generals and other army personnel warning president mcroy of a possible civil war. his france correspondent, charlotte to bentley the head of the french army has chosen the nuclear option under a mac comb presidency. resign rather than find himself stuck in a political crossfire. this is general folks while local and 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 that my call goverlan 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 that i needed a 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 held their hands up, but 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

nicole 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 is just nance. it's to end operation ball came in the saw how in africa a mission against you. hardest. so it's been fruit with failure. there's also been halting of joint military operations, a marley following a recent military key. and that political crisis, arising from 2 military falls each warning of a brewing civil war. they have also been rumors about him being on the front line against macro and making him the 2nd chief of defense, the hand over his notice. over disagreements as from a g is close to, to a presidential race. next,

the polls showing that many serving in the military are likely to for the loss in with the marine. the pen in will 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. charlotte steven sky. i'll see paris. ok, that's it from the moscow news room for now. you just have a half an hour away from the next update. i'm or previews of the upcoming putin biden summit in geneva from r t international. oh, me one and i make no bonus and the blind number please. as emerge. we don't have authority, we go to the back seen the whole world,

leads to take action and be ready. not a joke, people judge, you know, come crisis, we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is paid for the response has been massive. so me, good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we need together. oh, when i was the wrong. when all just don't the rules yes. out the same because after an engagement equal betrayal. when so many find themselves well the part we

choose to look for common ground the financial survival guide. let's learn about fill out. let's say i'm a joy and your great grief on thanks of the fight was 3 prod. thank you for helping me. the joy. 6 that fell out. that way we released the video shows las vegas police waiting in the hallway at the mandalay bay hotel. even as steven paddock continues to murder people below the board ever killed and this coward stayed on the 31st floor and not one attempt

was made to reach the 32nd floor. vice could have been saved if they were to take an action. absolutely. they had a team of armed individuals that did nothing but a coward while his shots were going on 58 people died that night and the town cub could have done something they fire, but they don't tell anybody about it. i found out about it and i did the story on it. there were about 30 police officers which shot guns and they are going to handle the emission floor now on the 32nd floor. sweat into the room, 1121 of the swat, watching discharges weapon in the room. they went into the room and they completely destroyed the crime scene. which is something you all do when they turned over paddock, spotty. they ran shocked. the room that goes against any stay.
