the, the news the today super powers summit can the 1st to biden foods in face to face as president, bring the nations close together, or would it drive and even deeper wedge between the nations. moscow's top diplomat has already set the mood for the russian delegation. it's really, depending on what she got all this going on under the roof of a luxurious 18th century veteran geneva will take you around the mansion library where the presidents are set to meet the suites who were kind enough to offer this access to this room. and the villa went to extra ordinary length to provide the 2

men sitting in these chairs vladimir putin and jo button with all the comfort and on the sidelines. what going on wheels, people in new york and moscow who would win a fight and potent met in some kind of make believe a fight, which of course won't happen, is it'll serve it just to make his smile. this wednesday would shake bad, but in a fight, but white and the reason for when use when say the 16th to do this is our to international with me, kevin, over good morning to one stories you heard dominating coverage today. and the world is poised for the 1st us rushes summit of the vice presidency, the much anticipated geopolitical fear that could cause set the path for future relations between 2 global superpowers. all will become clear as events unfold

later today in geneva. ah, ah. so the whole city is decked out for the summit with his main bridge decorated with russia. the us flags very nice to co securities, dialed up to the maximum rushes presidents to that in the coming hours. but for the time being is top diplomat set the mood the depending on what i was going to view from above satellite image of the venue. hosting the historic summit, you can see the 18th century villa garage is called, where they'll meet at, surrounded by 2 parks and of course is under high security as mentioned in day the tree line. classical mansions, no strange to historic events, way back in 18. 64, it hosted the signing of the 1st geneva convention, the thing to set,

the framework for the humane treatment of wounded and sick military personnel in conflicts. and here's what it's like on the inside who are waiting for the main day to unfold. a president set to meet in the village library, look for a nice for potentially heated conversation mode. nonetheless, despite the pleasant surroundings, senior correspondent moored girls, they have got to get a closer look at the suitably elegant and very plush interior. that will be the backdrop for these historic talks. the swiss, who were kind enough to offer this access to this room. and these villa went to extraordinary lengths to provide the 2 men sitting in these chairs vladimir putin and jo button. with all the comfort, the security, and the privacy that they need to perform these difficult task that they're here for. there is a vested interest understanding here in geneva and switzerland in europe and in the world for russia and the united states. the 2 greatest nuclear power in the world

for them to get along to learn, to talk to each other and ability that in recent years they have unfortunately lost success. here is the resolution of the myriad of conflicts and disagreements and scandals and disputes between the 2 countries. success here is them learning to talk to each other and agreeing to address those concerns that have fisted, unattended for years. aside from the luxurious library, there are many other rooms in the villa, this meeting room as well for a wider format meeting where both joe biden and vladimir putin will meet with all the aides. there's also telling that both men would come here in such high profile delegations at a time when booth have enough to deal with at home. it gives to show that the equally interested in repairing relations. the arrival of both leaders will be

a very formal affair. gordon, the cameras vladimir putin arrives where it's inside. bowden arrives. hills inside then the 3 presidents, the president, switzerland, russia, and the united states come out here for a family photo that it's off inside for business. on a lighter note, ministry major in the u. s. has been pushing the idea, the biden's heading to the meeting to show who the new sheriff in town is. and that needs to be tough with totes in wheels. people in the us and russia would win if the pair met in some kind of fictional, wild, wild, west badges, but in a fight. probably bad. i'm glad i'm able to appeal, and unfortunately he would win because his model been divided. i think probably has a little more in shape for it and make it after the 1st couple of runs of give him a pause. nobody when, because the more a war biden is going to do is the very best to represent

but probably got a lot more homework about how to get around it. yeah. look pretty big sides of you know, right. of course, the russian president, what we're going to win here, a lot of hobby thing. his pictures on hard back, but bite in the solar wind computing multimedia to do most or maybe by doing work out, we don't know yet. so i think they're both very different, have lovely so, so they will notify they will end in peace and war while on the agenda than cyber attack sanctions, nato and human rights are the key topics. no surprise, russia and america have different views of much of it. says containers also in geneva, today she's been looking at her both nations approach, these issues behind this son who 10 am vita and will meet face to

face. and if you're lost in the sea of what to expect, i've made it easy because here are a few of that favorite thing. just weeks before the summit, americans were in crisis. no gas, no groth fed beef. ransomware attacks left people queueing for hours to refuel. that tanks anything beacon vargas take on you'd never guess who's to blame. i'm going to be meeting with president. and so far there is no evidence based on from our intelligence people that russia is involved. although there is evidence that of actors ransomware is in russia, but the president and i looked like someone starring the pre summit part. he is a veteran of russia gate off to rule the yes america, the favorite foreign policy tool. just perfect will be mega,

solo and pack. not all who did it, but let's just function a few russians. a few rush tech them through in a few russian fine up. so group q, the applause joe biden is sending a truly message to russia. theories of tough news, sanctioned new tough sanctions on moscow. president biden is signaling that a new sheriff isn't counting on the campaign. trail president biden said, who were coming for you, and now he is sanction so much more fun than dealing with one's own domestic problems. i'm all right, joe. most good and expelled some americans and blacklisted some us groups, apparently, up to meddling, be stabilizing. no good. the nato has been waiting, rouses 1949. i pacific union or russia to thought a war and you will really like and want it be waiting. it's been building miss all bases. i'm doing not a wardrobe but not aggressively. you know,

nato is there to defend oh, our allies. and this exercise sends a message about our ability to transport a large number of troops, equipment across the atlantic, across europe, and also to protect maritime power attorney total coincidental. but it's all just happening. you know, near ross's board and while the criminal does believe in coincidence, it's so not for knowing that there is now a need to walk it just 15 minutes away from moscow. it's formed a few new military units, but not aggressively. you know, america's take on that. that's why i keep people in painters at the border and dozens of indefinitely entertained. i got in touch base with hundreds of others having been tortured, meeting with president prudent in a couple weeks in geneva. megan declare that we will not. we will not stand by, let him abuse those rights, which some could say has

a distinct width of double standards since you flew him up. but we are following with interest. the persecution of those who are accused of the rises on january the 6th this year when the lot of really interesting things are happening there from the point of view of the rights of the opposition and protecting those rights. washington shopped at its own reflection. the mirror replied that it doesn't need any tips from russia, from international law. thank you very much. the will it be smooth, lin chocolate? will they be reaching those famous swiss army knife? you have to watch and see? well, hopefully not the latter smooth. no, the talks are expected to touch upon the issue of jailed russian opposition leader election evolving, which goes to west views as unjust while keeping solid at the same time of the play to julia the son. so that's another story he's going underground compared to 2 very divisive cases. actually, sanchez case really exposes the hypocrisy all the european union and see us and

constantly lecturing rocher you on roy, on the version of journal or whatever. and then here we have a probably the biggest french press freedom case of a generation of springs and only to freedom for 10 years for exposing us for crime . he has been with liberty for 10 years. his health is really jeopardize and it wasn't 10 days. find the open motion wasn't even arrested 10 days on the emergency motion to monitoring his release. i mean, the 2 don't, don't clearly it's not very fraser. my mentor writes that game playing. i'm using these issues. so when i say should appear when, right, it's just posting on prevail. fear all the time us russia ties have always been shaky. the only thing both presidents have recently agreed on is that relations are

at the lowest level in years experts. the geneva, toby could either bring a reset or worse might spoil things for us to come is a quick look back at how the 2 superpowers reached this moment. today. the station russia made great progress in building a new relationship. today our relationship is broad and strong. i don't expect russia to look like the united states. number 2, we will have the same type of democracy in iraq to tell you the truth. ah ah, me 200 years have not been able to establish a stable and confident relationship with the way. why not?

when you're asking when russia has not been able to establish stable relationships with the west. well, let me ask you, why is the west not established labor relations with russia? both sides should make the effort. when we talk about equitable relations, that means respecting each other and respect means recognizing each other as equal partners. god forbid, you enter into any contradictions with our american partners on the american continent that is considered the holy of holies. and yet allocating ships with missile munitions, 10 kilometers from where we are, is considered. okay, is this an equal approach? the want to reset or relate. this says, go which means for which i brush as aggression against ukraine threatens our vision of a europe that is whole free and at peace. i

would thing i'm counting with with prison, proven event occasion benjamin a significant amount of time with is that at his core he is a he's practical. ah. when you might, she will win that somebody do you have any idea what you've done now, but i'm afraid this question will hang in the air because the policy which is based on the competence and the assurance of one's own exclusivity and impunity has not been abandoned ah, russia hacked into a lot of thing. the kremlin klan that was bought by this russian troll farm on facebook was a black lives matter ad. but there they are in the u. k. and in france and in spain,

and in the middle east, and in the united states and all these other different places, ah no bread and you can give the killer. i do not show you how to relations of degraded to the lowest level. ah, weekend interview latimer students laughed at the suggestion that you had called him killer. is still your beliefs are that he is a killer? actually the 1st question. i'm laughing to, ah. it makes her face to face tricky. that isn't it? you'd guess i don't know what's going on behind the scenes, neil clark, jennison broadcast that he meant for the job and have met in the past. we already know that got a kind of professional respect for each other at least as it goes deeper than that

. yeah, it's interesting you bring up kevin, because of course we got to think back to 2008 when that was the big deterioration relationships between russia, the u. s. over the ga situation and back then of course, it was the sort of the last stage of president george bush biden. i bama of course one the election then and by was he's vice president and the talk was about the reset was between me, between us and russia, and the democrats was seen as the party. the group were more likely to bring that about. in fact, that's what they were campaigning on. so it's quite interesting to see. i think that the question would, could anything come up this summit really we've got we've really got to acknowledge open the, obviously why the relation between the us and russia have been degraded. so much have to do so much. and of course the u. s. line is always ukraine crash question and ukraine. but in fact, we can trace it to syria, where the,

where basically we know that the us particularly near cause the us ministration were held back on regime change in syria doing to syria what they've done to iraq and libya. and it was russia that taught it that and also that we get the ukraine kicking off through ricky and your impression that so i think it's very important chronology right. and to acknowledge why the relations have to tear it to so much. what goes up must go then everything goes run a circle, doesn't that given a bit of time? yeah, things have changed from syria. us is back at the table, rushes back to the table, both is saying they wanna move forward. they want to find strategic stability of word on everyone's lips. there isn't at the moment. yes. and it's probably obstacle, isn't it? kevin? did you think that in the same way? good only say only nixon could go to china. nixon seem to be right when republican only he could break. greg with the communist chinese in the same way. it's the

paradox. easy provided to kind of try to be seen to be included in a way that donald trump couldn't. because of course, the, the, the charge against donald trump by the democrats was that he was a russian. but even people quoting quite ludicrous, of course, but that really not only prevented trunk even if you wanted to improving what i could russia is actually push me to a live relationship with russia. got a lot worse. so paradoxically, it could be a position where bind and would have more scope to improve relations with russia. but of course, meant what paul craig roberts said, he said the russians need russians need to understand that russia is worth more to the us as an entity than to and then as an allied because we're talking about the military industrial complex, nice to have an adversary to justify the huge spending on military i think there so that one of the many obstacles that would be to improving the relationship final

ever could be looking at the know the person relationships the. busy signals given off when they made for the cameras that all could biden's comments about the killer thing with poets. and i think it just backed into a corner by a jealous. he had to say something. he was singularly, you could say that it's no back turned to adverse, or he said, hey, this killer thing, that's not what we're bringing to the party has made things all could, isn't it? could kevin to sort of shake hands and smile. somebody who's called you a killer and somebody call you a kill me. i think we would find it very difficult. even if you say he may have been put into a corner by, you know, we saw the clip you showed earlier where he was trying to back away from that by said he's laughing about it to try to brush it off as a kind of joke. 6 but of course booted himself. he knows that hold anybody else. you know, the situation, he knows very much by the whole democratic. it's the like, what was russia phobia? demonizing russia as part of the anti trump campaign. and he knows why that was

said. and so he's a realist, he knows at the end of the day, what's going to happen if anything comes up this summer will really be about whether or not. 3 that there can be any common ground on g o strategic issues. and that of course depends on things like how has what the american law searing, how have they given up already and try to hoping they still look nice actions on syria isn't very good. so that, you know, there's a number of practical issues and of course, the know to pipeline seems to be american. seem to back up on that, try to get that cancelled. and of course, that the, you know, the long standing for all of you of ukraine and the don't back so plenty for them to be talking about. yeah, well that meeting we have about 4 hours because by the end of the day we'll certainly have a lot of answers to those questions we get suppose going to give press conferences separately will be across the neil club will get you, but to chat about it more i'm sure, in the coming days, just a broadcast, live on the program of a good day. thank you,

kevin. thank you. thanks bye. so it's a matter of hours. the 2 presidents are to meet 1st off, a leader, switzerland briefly. then they're going to head off for the highly anticipated face to face towards our team the throughout the day when we go to live, going to big studio sets up a lot of correspondence. give you the best coverage here on our international ah middle east, no day, not getting up to a great start. the. the fragile seas far between israel and palestine has been tested for exchange of fire explosions, rock guards, or after israel mounted s dogs overnight for the 1st time since the end of last month fighting those strikes were response apparently to austin. balloon being sent from the gaza. strip over the border firefighters say those balloons caused around $25.00 in southern israel. palestinian angle was spot by israeli demonstrations in

jerusalem. where more than a 1000 old nationalists sparing israeli flags pulled into the old city holy dispute to the area that they were celebrating with postponed jerusalem de marking the capture of the city in 1900. 67, this latest flare up and is the 1st now since the new coalition government took over on sunday night ousting prime minister, been a minute after 12 years in power of corresponding in the middle east. the policy is called this for us this morning from jerusalem. what you see happening right here is the annual jerusalem day celebrations. it's a repeat of what happened 5 weeks ago, but at that time, just moment off to the day, march started, my fire walk has some gone. that triggering and you live and they conflict and the march was disbanded. it is now happening 5 weeks later. but as you can see, there are hundreds of thousands of young to see why celebrate israel capture all the way to moore during the 6 day war of 1967. however,

i will be trainees in paris finance, according the cation have not had wars that you know, on appropriate, you have more than 2000 police and security officers on stand by the entire area. so i'm standing here in front of damascus game which is shut, and this is in an effort by these people to try and prevent any time or come pick from taking place and not cases. yet on the way to the gate, would you be likely to be all and then from there they'll make their way to the weights and wall. this is my country. i'm not going out and i'm not training anyone . i'm just walking with aflac and thinking you're daunting. why, why is it important for you to do this? because it's just your reselling, this is ruth and i'm, and we lost a chance on your me, we shall, i am with bon falling all over the show. and this is our home. we are here to raise

our flag, our capital city. we are proud to raise a flag in front of all of the arabs in the world. now the police have arrived, he pushed the shop owners gathering on this side of the boat further away to try and tell him the tension. probably the protests, but they certainly anger and frustration beyond provocation. it's a dictation with your patient in order to see me and we are so good and you are under our guard and we do not accept that. we do not accept it. and we are here to hear that when we pray here, they have no respect for us all the time. they come here, these races, they make problems. god, it's not the country of israel. this is the country of palestine where my angry cost is broken. look at these dogs again. i don't know when the world they come

from to take my home on my mother's life. no. the day is gone or with any kind of passion which might be a wedding. so the new government up not for the band, but the reality on the ground is that you had 2 issues. re lease on one side of the road behind me. and then we moved across the road. have ever been rainy. those that are out in the area just standing and watching the 2 side separated t corruption ran rampant across europe during the pandemic. according to his survey by global corruption, watchdog transparency international and 3 quarters of the 40000 respond and said, the situation is only getting worse. shallow 2 pounds case. got it. a new report by transparency international has found the view of national authorities and institutions is 44 with more than 60 percent of those who took part thing corruption in the government was

a major problem. but of all the issues faced by you citizens, one of the sole cust elements was access to health care during the 19 pandemic. the report describes that is being bought for corruption. wherever you go, you must pay up. and if you can't pay, you died before your time, me and me, something happened to me several years, but i had to pay money just to be seen by doctors. they would not touch me, otherwise you pay, you move forward. you don't pay, you are left behind the things that people said they paid bry perfect health care, but sales the, for some countries, it appears that bribery was rife, and money wasn't the only leverage for getting treatment. almost a 3rd said that they used a personal connection to receive medical attention. so please me, i'm not surprised. medical attention reserved for the lease,

which is absolutely and acceptable, especially in the been damaged. we can't have this hierarchy of who has access to health care. no, that's good. well, this finding is not a surprise, but it disturbs me. you've repeated stays. shouldn't even be charging monica health care. i do not saying that true, ever get rid of corruption, a startling and concerning trend during a health fun demik during health crisis using personal connections to access public services can be as damaging as paying bribes. lives can be lost when connected. people get a corporate 19 vaccine or medical treatment before those with more urgent needs. it's crucial that governments across the e u. redone their efforts to ensure a fair and equitable recovery from the ongoing pandemic. all of face highlights just how fragile the use mechanisms can be and could be one of the reasons why confidence in the block ability to handle crises like proving 19 has taken such

a hit recent polls of indicated how much of a problem this is with staggering numbers saying that their confidence in the european union was low or has deteriorated with corruption, according to transparency international be seen is so widespread, does not raise concerns. given that the you is about to allocate billions of you raise post pandemic recovery problem of the current auction east long time problem. euro is nor to own a in line, we to fund and make it is very hard to change the way of thinking, measure it or the can accept the bry, buddy debt, etc, showed, is hardly a change of thing. hold itself up as a model of integrity,

the result of transparency internationally for romance as challenges, renewed and shows across the block that varies widespread content. so let's see. all see paris. and that's the way things looking for moscow for me, kevin and the team, and also our team in geneva as well, covering that big face to face a set of talks today. have a great wednesday the ah . in the

living room by going visit show you can't afford to miss. i'm rachel. one is in washington coming up. the buying and ministration has a new plan to convince other country not to work with china. 5 to technology, but will it be enough to take on wall way? well, this guy was a 17 year long dispute between air bus and boeing is over as the us. and you finally agree to a truth on aircraft, up to the fit coin is taking on the us dollar in el salvador. but is it set up for success? and how will the latest process impact the world's most popular crypto currency? we have a lot to get to so let's get started. the longest trade dispute in the history of the world trade organization.
