the king. hello, the other, the buzzer. got it. much other that was really good. i the super power summit can the 1st biden to, to face, to face the president's bring the nations closer together, or will it drive and even deeper wedge between them. moscow's top diplomats already said the mood for the russian delegation. the, it's going to pull this bit later, going onto the roof. so this luxurious 18th century been there in geneva will take you run the mansion library, special access, where those presidents are going to meet this week, who were kind enough to offer this access to this room. and these villa went to actually ordinary length to provide the 2 men sitting in these chairs vladimir

putin and jo button with all the comfort and with us, russian relations and ra thought. meantime, and starting to look like a personal grudge, much we asked people in new york, moscow food, when, if things go scrappy between coach and button, which course won't happen. who would kick in a fight might. and the reason why when i wednesday, the 16th of june, geneva some day the this is our t with me, kevin o in good morning. that's the big story dominating coverage. this the world's poise for the 1st us rushes summit of the vice presidency. the much anticipated geopolitical theatre could set the pass code for future relations between the 2

global power. so a lot hanging on today and will become clear as events unfold in the coming. i was in switzerland the who's the host city genevas, director for the summit with his main bridging, c that decorated with russian and us flags. beautiful sunny day 2. and of course security is dialed up to maximum brushes. presidents do that in the coming hours of the time being is top diplomat already set the mood the it's going to is a satellite image shows the lake site venue to start off with the hosting the historic summit, its an 18th century villa called la garage, they'll meet that it's surrounded by 2 parks and of course as mentioned in the high security. indeed the tree line, classical mansions, no stranger to historic events,

but a history back at 864. 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 then we can go inside to the precedent. so set to meet in the village library for potentially heated conversation, book plush surroundings, to do it. and if that is so senior correspondent road goes, you got to take a closer look at the very elegant interior that will be the backdrop for these historic talks. the suites new were kind enough to offer this access to this room and these villa went into extra ordinary length 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. so 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 isn't 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. so i, in the luxurious library, there are many other rooms in the village, these 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 they're

equally interested in repairing relations. the arrival of both leaders will be a very formal affair. gordon, the cameras vladimir putin arrives weights inside. barden arrives, goes inside, then the 3 presidents, the present, switzerland, russia, and the united states. come out here for a family photo that it's off inside for business. well, we've got, this is got a minute to talk about this stuff on the latest side of things like this mainstream major in the u. s. has been pushing the idea that biden's heading to the meeting to show who the new sheriff in town is. so to speak, and that he needs to be tough with posted. we ask people in the us and russia who would win then if the pay did meet him, some kind of fictional, wild, wild west badges, but in a fight. probably via them. glad to appeal, and unfortunately he would win because his model device, i think probably a little more in shape both wouldn't make it after the 1st couple of runs,

i'll give him a pause. nobody wins because my war biden is going to do is very best to represent but probably got a lot more homework about how to get around this man. yeah. look pretty big. so of course the russian president who can win here a lot of hobby thing. his pictures on hard back, but white in the solar even for wind computing will continue to do most or maybe by doing work out. we don't know yet. so i think they're both very different and have lovely so, so they will do no fights. they will end in peace had enough war while he recited, there was a course, a serious agenda to get through very serious from human rights to cyber attack, sanctions and nato. and no surprise, russia,

americans see things very differently. much of that. the talks are also expected to touch upon the issue of jailed russian opposition leader alexis volney, which the west views is unjust, while keeping silent at the same time. but the play to wiki links. julie, the sons talking about that she's going underground show compared to 2 very divisive cases. i suppose the sanchez case really exposes the hypocrisy all the european union and see us and constantly lecturing russia about human rights under both imprisonments of journal or whatever. and then here we have a probably the biggest strength press freedom case of the generation assange being denied to freedom for 10 years for exposing us for crime. he has been with liberty for 10 years. his health is going to be jeopardized, and it wasn't 10 days for the open motion. page wasn't even arrested 10

days of your being passing emergency motions demanding 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 back to wife and i say sion when right? it's supposed to prevail, fear all the time. you are so i should have always been shaken. the only thing both presidents currently agreeing on is that relations are at the lowest level in years . experts at the geneva talks could go either way, it could bring the reset. lot of people open for or maybe spoil things for us to come. is a quick look at how the 2 superpowers reached this moment. we got to today. the united states and 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 me 200 years has not been able to establish a stable and confident relationship with the west. why not? 1000000 euros can 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 such should make the efforts. god forbid you enter into any contradictions with our american partners on the american continent. it is considered the holy of holies, and yet allocating ships with missile munitions, 10 kilometers from where we are, it's considered, okay, is this an equal approach? the want to reset the relief skirmish males, which i

brush as aggression against ukraine threatens our vision of a europe that is whole free and a piece i would say i'm counting with with prison, proven event occasion to spend some significant amount of time with is that at his core, he is a, he's practical. ah, when you might, she will win the wedding. do you have any idea what you've done now? but i'm afraid this question will hang emily. because the policy which is based on the confidence and the assurance of one's own exclusivity and impunity have not been a band. ah rushes hacked into

a lot of thing. kremlin klan, there they are in the u. k. and in france and in spain. and in the middle east and in the united states, and in all of these other different places, ah, no bread and food killer. me do not show you relations of degraded to the lowest level. ah, weekend interview vladimir prudent laughed at the suggestion that you had called him a killer. is that still your beliefs or that he is a killer? especially the 1st question. i'm laughing to, ah, that's some go, things can only get better. let's go and live to london, jonathan still as an international affairs commentator live on the program morning . yeah, one of the most likely to agree to disagree on then what i think they're going to disagree on virtually everything. but what would be good if they could agree on

some sort of task forces headed by the secretaries of defense or sector state to take forward some of the crucial issues like cybersecurity, like tacking, like arms control, strategic arms control, that will be ready. good. so this could be just setting the stage for more detail towards the de la, slightly lower level in future. the extension of the start treaty was a good sign that happened almost immediately. joe biden was voted in done. that was a good step forward, and it was also very good that in his one of his interviews just in the last 20 was mr. biden, has talked about mister putin as being a worthy adversary. that's really kicked into touch this whole killer issue. and by puting put in with respect, instead of insulting him, i mean that was just, i suppose, watching that again and again, that was him being backed into a corner by germany. they think on his feet. supposing perfectly regretted saying it, it is hard when you've called someone

a killer to then meet them face to face and shake hands. well in here earlier, he called him a thug, so he's got a track record on friday, being very rude to mr. booting behind his back that so that now they're meeting face to face, decoding the word the adversary in to say he's practical and the issues that can be moved forward is good. move, good, good music, mood music for summit job. i and also says he's going to raise russia's human rights abuses, let him a potent going to want to hear that and how's it going to respond? well, in his interview with nbc he was said firm on that saying, i wouldn't even mention of his name. he says this has nothing to do with him. this is a to do with criminal law. ready somebody's in prison for breaking the law and he's going to fight back on that. but he's really, his counter attack is the whole issue of regime change and american unilateralism. he's mentioned the fact in libya they toppled regime and left chaos and syria. when

he says that he asked them what happens if outside falls, if you talk to him and what kind of government will come into being after that, they say, i don't know he's. so he's saying, how can you have serious statement taking big foreign policy decisions of regime change without knowing what the outcome will be? well, await him, have hardly secretary of what a great don't or not great. i will find out with the 2 separate media conferences later on tonight. all the media, commentators, including us, are going to look at a body language and good thing to do because there is a lot writing on this. it smelt, you know, it's no small thing. this meeting today could pay the past for the future and relations with america and russia. huge superpowers. you mentioned the mutual professional respect. is there any sort of depth through any kind of personal chemistry at all or no? well, the going back to another, these famous quotes of buttons made in the past. he said he looked into putins eyes and saw no. so he was a complete opposite of george w bush and said when i said so,

so. ready you know that that wasn't very good, but biden is a genial man. he sees relaxed. he's comfortable with other people. so i think the body language when we caught good, but of course we won't see the body language side by side because they're not going to give a joint press conference. it's going to be 2 separate press conferences. i suppose . we'll see the handshake at least have a bit to read and that will give us something to go on for the day when we heard from guess about us being ready to come to the table. russia, said tom, again, i want to move more more away from the dollar, especially get it out of its reserves. the u. s. is fully behind in weapons development as well. is that what's brought america to the table to the talking table? no, i think it is just a feeling that you have to be have some level of politeness in international relations. and russia is a powerful country and brought in country and you can just devise later and put sanctions on it and ignore it well higher on the left. i suppose i miss what it says it's, it's biden's purse trip abroad. is the damage to the g 7 summit which he

had to come to and they tagged on the bridge and meeting at the end of that. what happened to that? the g 7 may be sorry. you don't think it would have happened without the g 7 that may be, it would have happened. it was, it was titans initiative here in a phone call with virgin for soon after he took office in january he suggested a meeting, put in was very quick to respond. he, there was some days went by before they agreed to respond. they didn't want to appear to be rushing to sort of come the bidding of president biden to obviously they wouldn't turn down a meeting in the long run. so they had to accept watching carefully come back if you come in, i'm sure. in the coming days, we'll know what's happened later on tonight when they both have their separate conferences and filled as well. they talk about jonathan, still international affairs commentary to have a good day in london there. thank you. yes, was a say in a matter of hours, the 2 presidents are set to meet the leader of switzerland briefly. then they get

ahead of very quickly for the highly anticipated face to face talk teams. they bring you all the details for special cd in geneva. throughout the day. you will have the best coverage from us. the who's ah, ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safer?

tyson lation, whole community. you going the right way? where are you being somewhere which direction? what is truth is faith in the world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows, use towards the summit. the bike administration pushed for a summit with russia. moscow agreed what the biden people hope to achieve, remains unclear. we are told the white house wants to restore predictability and stability. what could possibly go wrong? me? ah right next to some other used to briefly on this morning,

the fragile seas for between israel and palestine has been really tested for exchange of fire, explosions, rocks, gas, or after israel mounted asteroid. the 1st time since the end of last month's fighting low strikes in response over night to us balloons sent from the gaza strip over the border firefighters, saying those balloons cause they estimate around $25.00 in southern israel, palestinian. and it was sparked by israeli demonstrations in jerusalem pictures you see in there with more than a 1000 old for nationalists, better and it's really flag poured into the old city that was celebrating the postpone jerusalem de marquis recaptured the city back in 67. this latest flare up than is the 1st since the new coalition government took over on sunday night ousting long time prime minister benjamin netanyahu of to 12 his empower later this morning from jerusalem from a correspondence paula slayer. what you see happening right here is the annual jerusalem day celebrations is a repeat of what happened 5 weeks ago. but at that time, just moment off to the day, march started,

my fire walk has gone up 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 have one quick break. heathrow capture all the way to moore during the 6 day war of 1967. however, i will be trainees and patents. finance. according to cation have not had wars that you know, on appropriate you have moving to 1000 police and security officers on stand by the entire area has been told i'm chatting here in front of damascus, which is, and this is in an effort to try and prevent any kind of 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 the way to the waste

and all this is my country. i'm not going out and i'm not tracing anyone. i'm just walking with a black and thinking you're daunting. why? why is it important for you to do this? this is theresa, jerusalem and we lost a chance on your me, we shall. i am with bon falling all over the show. 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 to push the shop owners gathering on this side of the road, further away to try and tell him the pension that you might call me protests, but they certainly anger and frustration beyond publication. it's a dictation with your patient in order to see and we are so good and you are under our target and we do not that we do not accept it. and we are here to hear that when we play here,

they have no respect for us. all the time they come here, these races, they make problems and it's not the country of israel. this is the country of palestine. where my in greece is broken. we look at these again, i don't know when the world they come from. my home. my mother like that know that it was the day has gone off with any kind of passions which might be a when the new government up not for the band. but the reality on the ground is that you had 2 issues. great on one side of the road behind me. and then if we move across the road, you have an arabic railey. those that are out in the area, just standing and watching the 2 side separated and there are still really 10, sir. now, corruption ran rampant across europe during the pandemic. according to the survey by global corruption,

watchdog transparency international. 3 quarters of the 40000 respondents who took part. so the situation they thought was getting worse, shall do bad. sky reports. 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 focus 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 to join 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 people said they paying the bright health care, but sales at the, for the, in some countries it appears that bribery was rife, and money wasn't the only leverage for getting treatment. almost a 3rd said that they do a personal connection to receive medical attention. so please me, i'm not surprised. medical attention results for the lease, which is absolutely and acceptable, especially in have 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 money for health care. i do not saying that fruit ever get read of corruption, thoughts, and concerning trend during a health fun demik during a 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 coffee at 19 vaccine or medical treatment before those with more urgent needs. it's crucial that governments across the e o redouble 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 proven 19, has taken such a hit recent polls of indicated how much of a problem this is with staggering numbers saying that the 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 e u is about to allocate and billions of euros supposed pandemic recovery problem

of the car auction east long time. problem, year old is nor to own a in line. we to ponder makes it is very hard to change the way of thinking the majority of the can accept bry, buddy, debt, etc. chewed is hardly for change of thing. hold itself up as a model of integrity. the results of transparency international for romance as challenges renewed and shows across the block, the fairies, widespread content. so let's see. all see paris. that's what we talked about here so far in moscow big day coming up in geneva, going to leave you with a short live from the garage vendor. it's cool. that's where that big meeting the big some it's going to take place in the coming out. little bit wobbly. it's like a closer shot. sure. we will leave you with that. my sunny day up to 31 degrees. the question is, will it be a bit too hot to handle all?

will there be a lot of agreement? well, at the moment the thought is it won't be a lot of agreement, but at least america and russia a meeting, it's the big corey of the day. oh, the join me every thursday and the alex summon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me these are the 4 people who pulled the trigger. after 5, something on survival was the hardest thing that i had. the face was not having a face adult by patient life accepted, accept the fact that i made that appointment. we had no fears. del change pretty

fast for shots. different stories behind the bullets. the. the, the with i'm action or can see we're getting underground on blooms day, a living, the stories, the powerful ones you know, coming up in the show on the day that world war and peace is discussed in june, even between by an improved and we talk to strategist who helped ukraine's politicians and now advisors israel's new prime minister. tale bennett off to be in chief of stuff to former pm benjamin netanyahu deposed in the wake of may's 11th. a war that killed so many civilians in the middle east. and what is it steak for

europe is vitamin to meet in geneva today as bar, as johnson contemplates breaking the breaking the lease signed threatening piece in ireland with a global pandemic catalyzed new thinking about the brussels liberal project. that is arguably still of recovered. since the 28th or more coming up in today's going underground with 1st as a new prime minister in israel, natalie bennett, after the connected voted by one to depose. israel is longest serving by minister many men at yahoo. does it make any difference to the ongoing was in the middle east? joining me now from horizon zimbabwe is the man responsible for putting both men in power off. naphtali advisor, george bramble, and george, i know you're not going to say it's just you who got him into power, but i'll get to get to that in a moment. i better ask you, 1st of all about the bite and put in some it in geneva. what's your take on the significance of summit? the summit is important for, for some reasons. the 1st obviously is the, the russian american relationship beyond different ministration has been at the

forefront of geo politics were for decades. certainly coming out of, you know, the, the trump era by industry is trying to paint a different picture, a different angle in terms of their relationship with russia. vitamins definitely posher himself is trying to be the tough guy and be called upon to match food in terms of his toughness. poon is a master of joe politics to be sure. and i was a little surprised at the announcements at the biden administration had that they will be holding a solo press conference after the summit as opposed to it's normally a joint press conference. usually joint press companies are sign of some sort of mutual cooperation, mutual acceptance, or at least to show that there is some sort of goodwill coming out of that summit. the fact that the bio ministrations were presented. we said that there will be a unilateral press conference already signal that it's probably going to be quite a contentious one on one. maybe they'll change.
