about people's lives being lost, the me, the, the, me, the super powers summit can the 1st fight and put in face to face as president, bring the nations close together or when they drive an even deeper wedge between them. but moscow, top diplomats already set the mood, hopefully for the russian delegation. it's really, depending on what all is going on under the roof of luxury 18th century veteran geneva, we're going to take you around the mansions library with those precedents. we'll meet in a few. i was time this week who were kind enough to offer this access to this room, and the villa went to excellent ordinary length to provide the 2 men sitting in

these chairs vladimir putin and jo button. with all the comfort with us russia relations, the rock, bottom right now and starting to look maybe like a personal grudge mass on the side of all. this was people in new york and moscow food, when they things gotta be scrappy between potent and but which of course end of the day in real life is not going to happen. bad but in a fight, but white and the reason for wind. ah why wednesday the 16th to june, geneva some a day this is out. see with me, kevin. oh it is the big story dominating coverage. they saw the world is poised for the 1st us rushes summit of a bite and presidency. the much anticipated jo, political theatre that could set the pass in future relations between 2 global

superpowers, all become clear then as events unfold in switzerland and just a few hours from now. the who's host city geneva is for the summit with this main bridging. say that decorated with russian and us flags on a cool security dialed up to maximum rushes. president is departed. the southern city of salt, she is the latest news we can tell you about is due in geneva in the next hour or so. but for the time being is top diplomat is setting the mood the depending on what i'm in here is a satellite to image looking dental it all of the lake side venue hosting the historic summit. you can see the 18th century villa, la garages, cold weather, go to meet it surrounded by 2 parks and of course is on the high security. indeed,

the tree lined classical mansion is no stranger to historic events. either way, back at 864, it hosted the signing of the 1st geneva convention, the thing to set, the framework for the human treatment of wounded and sick military personnel in conflicts. nice weather for 2 to sunny day at 31 degrees today. but will it pay the way for some sunny talks? well, we don't know. we think it's going to be stormy. let's go to a senior correspondent. we're guy. who's in geneva. yeah. sunny. so fall. put some big issues to get through the big ticket issues. yeah. and a lot riding on it right now. well, of course the world is watching we've, we've been given general themes that the 2 presidents, one to mentioned the 2 sides. but you must understand that even the subject that they have, she had such as global stability to have a very different perspectives of how to address those, those topics of how to go about cooperating on them. for example, the,

the fight against terrorism or bus different global stability, strategic the russian federation have a certain specific weapon, the americans on the navy, on other weapons. so they're going to have to come together and decide where to compromise. if indeed they go to compromise on that no, to the been reports of tremendously high spite in geneva ahead of the sub. but you know, countries with a world everybody's watching the summit to have arguably the most powerful men that need to get in this villa behind me. what they're going to talk about, what they're willing to compromise, what they really want to achieve. everybody wants to know, you need to need to be part of american allies, russian allies that were interested in what is going to come of this meeting, of course, because many times the expectations are somewhat low that we shouldn't expect too much. and we shouldn't the very, very fact that the biden and boost and have elected the whole different press

conference, a separate press conference as you know, give us an understanding with all the enmity that was built up over the years. all the mistrust that has built up over the years. it's still here, haven't got any way. what it's changed now is that both sides have finally understood that it is getting them nowhere. and if they go down this route it'll, it'll be worse for both sides. so they're trying to come together to decide on the new rules of the game, a game that has turned obvious and recent. yes, and the who is that when they need to inside, when they meet behind me that they'll be able to work out kind of all the sort of move off from from a dead spot. the plan is that they arrived with a few hours todd, so it's live and job body. they come out for a family photo on the lawn, behind me, after which they'll have a narrow, narrow meeting with just putin, by their phone secretary and the secretary of state with them. after that,

they'll be a wider format, meeting with delegations present 2 of those. but on the sidelines, they'll be plenty more meetings as i showed him in my report earlier from inside the house, the villa who were kind enough to offer this access to this room and the 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 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 an 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. 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 that equally interested in repairing relations. the arrival of both leaders will be a very formal affair. gordon cameras vladimir putin arrives weights inside barton, 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. yeah, we're going to be reporting on all the business. a lot of heavy subjects to talk about that's become a bit later we got to minutes talk about some of the lightest of this mainstream major in the u. s. has been pushing the data biden's heading to the meeting to show the new sheriff in town. isn't it needs to be tough with booted? well, we asked people at this hour in the us and russia who'd, when they thought, if the pair met in some kind of fictional, wild, wild west, who would shake badges but in a fight? probably via plaid american and unfortunately, he would win because his model been divided. i think probably he 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 the more a 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 will win. wealth can win here. a lot of hobby thing, his pictures on hard back, but white in his solar even when computing to video to do most of what he 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 fight. they will end in peace. i've had enough war with us. russia ties always been shaky of late in the anything both presidents of agreed on recently is that relations are the lowest level in years experts than the geneva toes could go either. which way they could bring up much needed reset the lot of people hoping for, well, maybe spoil things for years to come. here's a quick look, a recap of how the 2 superpowers have 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 interesting to us. 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 in 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 that is considered the holy of

holies. and yet allocating ships with missile munitions, 10 kilometers from where we are, it's considered. ok. it's an equal approach. the want to reset the relationship. it says school, which means what was the russia aggression against ukraine threatens our vision of a europe that is whole free and at peace. i would say i'm counting with with prison, proven event occasion to spend a 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 things. 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. i do not show you relations of degraded to the lowest level. ah weekend interview latimer prudent laughed at the suggestion that you had called him a killer. is that still your believe, sir, that he is a killer?

especially the 1st question. i'm laughing to ah. when this co cross, the border will go up to paris. looking on the island covert, a retired french colonel in a former advisor, the french interior ministry. so thanks for your time today being live with this a quick but housekeeping. first of all, that in your opinion, from what you've seen so far, how are they doing there in geneva, the security precautions and they up to the usual impeccable swiss standards? good. could you repeat your question? yes. how did you say it is again, sir? i just wondering how you think the security precautions and the preparations are going there in geneva, are they up to the usual impeccable swiss standards? well, i think the fact that the president biden refused to have the common

press conference with printed on put in is because he's advisors and he's on to raj salt that he will not be equal in in his speech with a prejudice on today. and that's why they decided there will be no come on conference because we know the g d t of president. i'm pretty nice. he's a very stable person and. ready by that and he's not the case, get by denise is different. the ease he comes to europe do say's we are going to wage a war ways. china and russia on the other but boutique

and she being but which in today is saying, but we are ready to discuss the differences between our strategies and we are ready to avoid any, any war. then you see the 2 positions are very different. i think that crazy now by pressing on by is very feeble and very rare ease, older ease tie the and then the ease, ease surrounding ease. advisors are not with him during a press conference in july president, there was no end of the day. is the president of the united states no matter what you think about his physical or, or, or mental abilities will show the respect here. do you think the outcome though

you're saying that the outcome is almost kinda decided before it started the fact that there were going to be 2 separate media conferences at the end of this, there was never, ever going to be a joint one. even if conversations went well, yes, i agree with your your euro. oh, you probably your question because yes, it has been decided before ever a thing. the fact that we are coming to the end of the world dominated by united states and by the so called western civilizations. western civilization was a great civilization based on the values and religious principles, which i've been completely abandoned by these cities. it shouldn't,

which is now material least and even deviant. deviance or civilizations which promotes all the things we, we travel not normal for human beings. then we are coming to do an end and, and sizes on the coming to the me right without it is head. he's not, is he coming to the meeting with was with the idea that the yeah. and no, no, no, be yeah, yeah, the advisor of the administration of the democrat or a president that try to continue the american supremacy, which is impossible for the experts in general politics know that this where the spanish new world is, is giving birth. now,

it's will be completely different, but they are trying to say, we are at war with china. we are at war with russia because it's the only way for them to, to try to, to continue these as in american and western supremacy. even if it's finish and i'm sure that there are experts in the america, we know we know so that and trump triumph was an expert and he knew that the new media session is completely different. that's why sick or all steps or be if you, contrary to the tramps administration all the way with great interest to see what comes out of this meeting is going to start in a couple of hours. time will go on for a couple of hours and then they'll. busy be these separate media conferences as you is saying, mr. cove. it for now. thanks. service so much for coming on the program. i covers retired french, colonel and former advisors. the french interior ministry have

a good day, sir. so as to say, just a matter of hours before those 2 presidents meet, 1st thing we're going to do is meet the leader of switzerland. they're going to head off for these highly anticipated face to face. talk. our team is that we got a studio set up a correspondence of the bringing the highlights throughout the day. the who's join me every thursday on the alex salmon 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.

oh, when i was wrong. why don't i just don't the room? yes to see out the scene because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground in 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? ah again,

20 past the hour and i was breaking news to russia literally in the last couple of minutes. let me tell you that the moscow's merit has announced mandatory cobit vaccinations for citizens working. busy in the service industry, i face to face color jobs. this as new daily cases here of reach nearly 7000 in the russian capital. so soon as we get worse again, across the country, $14000.00 cases registered on tuesday, moscow's already reintroduced restrictions on many businesses, including at 11 p. m. curfew on restaurants and bars. seas i'm from chris. so ski next time with a lot of just said in mind, talking to the chief doctor at the cities top cove, it hospital about the situation right now. stuff is actually what's really happened . why do we see such a spike in covered cases when the states and wellness we've loosened up too much. as a careless attitude to personal protection, face masks, for instance, of social distancing deal all the rules we've been closely following over the last

year. i think people just got really tired of it. so all these factors together resulted in a search and covert cases. the call it a 3rd wave if you will. it happened. it's a fact. a mask is not only your protection, your safety. it's also your responsibility towards society. to some extent, it's the same story with the vaccine. it's a sense of responsibility for reducing the pressure on the health care system and reducing the number of severe cases. my, i'm deeply convinced this situation could be solved only by mass vaccinations. this could bring our normal life back again. no, it still was land. what do we know about this new indian train? you know, i know what i see on an everyday basis over 200 patients admitted to hospital every day. yes, every day. it's like the big days. it's even more with the peak of the 1st who waves to go up. they say it's hysteria. everybody is panicking. it's

a big pharma conspiracy so they could make profit out of that 7. a bunch of junk, more sure. if it was hysteria, the old assembly covert hospitals and additional re animation services in the city would have been empty. and all we know for a fact is that over 1500, the severely ill patients are an intensive care over 500. i don't ventilators, we don't see this picture with the flu. my message to everyone is that only vaccination can prevent this situation. yeah. footnote that across the country, $14000.00 cases registered on tuesday, moscow's already re introduced those restrictions on many businesses, including 11 pm curfew on restaurants and bars. but breaking news in across the country, $40000.00 cases were just to choose the and the moscow mayor is no telling people that they, if they work in the service industry, they now have to have a mandatory vaccination. will tell you more about that for the day. and how that's going to work right next more news came in overnight. so from the middle east,
