3:01 pm
ah, hello, good evening. just gone 10 o'clock here in moscow. you watch naughty international constructive without any hostility that splendid me put in perspective on his summit with president biden, while the us leader also gave his view the solar news conference to so let's get the latest news from switzerland more from our team in geneva. the who's me while welcome back to geneva from what i long take in the city. it has been a really long couple of weeks. i'll go about high school that falls around. of course,
3:02 pm
the big russia us summit was building. now it's over don, president bite. and president putin, they sat down, they talked and really the bottom line is, looks like ties between the 2 countries are better today than they watch more and really looks like the best you can hope that's all we could have hopeful they were never going to leave this is the best of mates. they were never going to move mountains in terms of the problems that exist. but what we have seen is them say that they'll read a ignite diplomatic relations, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not to say that, but at some point it's going to happen. we'll see a russian number in washington, us some busted up back in moscow. the very basics of diplomacy is going to be existing again when it comes to just how they viewed one another. we heard from both president saying that yeah, with a positive attitude, we heard from joe biden saying that it wasn't ever going to be friendly,
3:03 pm
really. but it was, it was positive, it was certainly positive. and we heard from me saying that it wasn't again, it wasn't context the wasn't somebody school remote points that i wouldn't know when a profi good job wasn't to get one off from someone else. it was sent pete to become interesting communication, able to have an open frank dialogue to dissolve to in the future and to do that without any hostility. and that's what we heard from you. but when you go through but i missed and there was no hospitality on the country meeting was very constructive. our views differ on many issues, but i believe both sides have shown a willingness to understand each other and to bring up differing positions close together. there wasn't any, any strident action taken where we disagreed. i disagree, stated where it was where he disagreed, he stated, but it was not done in a hyperbolic you atmosphere. i have no illusions following the meeting,
3:04 pm
neither old nor new. there can't be any illusions at all by set in vain. russia, by the way, that was a joke. held, both presidents have now left. we watched both airplanes fly away. we've actually got a pretty good view and it comes to plain spot. i mean, i know the geneva runway, like no one else travel you controls gotten nothing on may. the lucian $96.00 is and boeing. busy 747, air force will. now i can see them from about 10 kilometers away out of new stream . but actually the security has been something. so note something that we noticed q days ago. when we sold the soldiers, we saw the police, we saw the boats that were going mad on the, on the lake today we will say, so helicopters, flying overhead is not sleeping. quite exciting. we've got a perfect view of the sunset over the lake just behind us here in geneva, city looking resplendent. it has been roasting home,
3:05 pm
but i want to say it's pathetic fallacy. absolutely perfect for the heated tools. and i think that probably was heated, biting himself gave, and that there were some things that he was not willing to negotiate. boots moist also said, you know what, we have different views on this. we don't have to look i to i but we still have to protect our own people and protect global security. they both said that it's neat power. they obviously shot that responsibility. he would, there he was, the big talked about it a lot and it also there definitely wasn't actually that it was almost like a business deal, but they had to think very programatically about the relationship moving forward. now of course, the best person place to tell us everything about especially president putin's press conference, was more at god who himself was literally in the hall. i believe he's got a chance to off president putin a question himself. there is indignation here among the russian press. listen to both press conferences, although i was present to india at one. and then you had jo button press conference
3:06 pm
where he started off by saying that he's taking questions from pre selected journalists, reading from a teleprompter until which new member of the russian president was invited to you. there is indignation here among journalists about that fact, especially you with him talking about democratic values. i suppose. democratic values isn't taking links. bigler questions. the questions of job button face, but you know, if i could sum them up, they, what did you tell him mister president? really, that is the said, the journalist view, the journalists have but the, you know enough about what we feel good about. look, the gist of it's objectively is the booth leaders began by saying the same thing that the time now is to start working together. that it is time to cooperate, your billing, you could give mister, there was no hospitality on the country. our meeting was very constructive. our
3:07 pm
views differ on many issues. but i believe both sides have shown a willingness to understand each other and to bring out different positions close together. i have no illusions following the meeting, neither old nor new. there can't be any illusions at all. i mean, they, they talked about very personal things. joe biden confirmed this that didn't. so it said the job button brought up his childhood and his mother stories about his mother. i mean, this isn't the sort of thing that you would talk about. some of you hated or, or detested, for example. so obviously connected, and that is what basically the said the that they connected. nevertheless, they were uncomfortable subjects. the broach things that both sides completely disagree on, such as the treatment of russian opposition. figure alexi, nevada, who is currently serving a 2 year sentence for the violation of his early release. so suspended sentence. he was convicted by russian court. and vladimir putin here says that, you know,
3:08 pm
americans are comparing what happened on capitol hill to the treatment of election . yvonne and saying there's nothing in common but for the nation, you just, you'll never regarding on non systemic opposition and the citizen you've mentioned this person knew full well that he was violating russian law. and he knew full well that there was a warrant for his arrest. nevertheless, he came back to russia and he deliberately wanted to be arrested. so he did what he wanted to do. what else can we say hill? platinum said the criminals will be arrested. criminals will be treated as in any other country as, as criminals. nobody's going to be given special conditions, special rides. he said he doesn't want what happened and capitol hill in the united states to happen in russia. the be a protest, for example, that sort of abuses from, from the law that we've seen there as well as rides bus by processes. but there was
3:09 pm
also good things. there was talk about constructive dialogue. there was talk about the both sides when they mentioned when they add their grievances to what the other side. booth biden. and putin said that, you know, what they heard was constructive. it was a dictation, it was rather dialogue they agreed, for example, in the needs the strategic stability to, to control the more complicated weapon systems that are being brought online across the world. you know, they're, they're the 2 full most nuclear powers in the world. that doesn't need to be a 3rd, but not of the gees. what they have to say. nevertheless, nevertheless, you know, despite them talking as equals, some of the questions we had weren't, weren't asked for the point of view where both the scene is equal. for example, bbc journalist said russia is accused, russia is accused of being unpredictable. how are you going to change? what are you going to do about that? the which vladimir putin replied by this model. you should start giving your name,
3:10 pm
but if you said the west believes that russian foreign policy is unpredictable. well, let me send the park back to you, the u. s. leaving the abm treaty in 2002 with absolutely unpredictable. what were they doing? it for that's undermine the basis of international stability in the area of strategic security. then withdrawal from the i n f treaty in 2019, there's nothing stable about that. the open sky treaty withdrawal, there's nothing stable about it and almost nothing left. thank god, in the field of strategic stability. mr. biden has taken a completely adequate decision to prolong the new start treaty for 5 years. if you take the situation with ukraine with crimea, that's where this all starts, right? what stable about endorsing the qu, they tar when the ex president yanna cove each agreed with all the demands of the opposition. he was basically ready to abandon power and declare new elections in
3:11 pm
about 3 months. note the blood filled qu was needed that lead to known consequences the southeast of the country than crimea. and you think it's also predictably, no, i don't think so. they also talked about other things that they agreed to work on, and that is what this summer really is about. both sides claim the same thing, but what they want is to bo, joe buttons, phrase rules of the road. so rules about how they behave in certain circumstances regarding certain dispute, certain disagreements, even even conflicts from syria to i've gotten the sub approved. you said, look you, you're blaming out for these cyber attacks. but the united states is where more attacks come from, that it anywhere out of the space of the united states. nevertheless, they agreed to establish a working group according to jo body. within the year, we'll have to stab to the summit book what they'll be able to what they'll be able
3:12 pm
to show for it. there was also another question about, well, there were many questions about how they personally vladimir putin and joe biden saw each other. as for example, vladimir putin was us what he looked into, ju, biden's eyes, the d. c, a man he could work with your spoke and you know, several years ago when you met don vice president vida. and he said, you looked into your eyes and didn't see a soul there. when you looked into his eyes, the person you could work with. felicia and this is not the 1st time i've heard this story, although i do not remember it at all. but i admit it might actually have happened. it seems to me that president biden, and i spoke the same language and that does not necessarily mean we have to look into each other's souls or rise or swear, our turn or friendship. we protect the interest of our countries, and these relations are always pragmatic for the american leader was actually asked about plus whether he saw somebody that he can trust in vladimir,
3:13 pm
evaded the question. he said the gcs of blood and putting someone he can, he can work with the blood where poodle is not interested in a new cold war, which is, which isn't anything new like me, approval has said the same thing himself. the gist of it is that this was a trust building exercise. this entire summit was about bringing the leaders of the 2 countries together, getting them to add their concerns, grievances towards each other, getting them to talk constructively, something that they haven't done in many years about moving forward about re establish rebuilding relations from the wreckage, the state that they're in now and judging by the comments of both lee, this preliminary they've been successful on the right guys that he spent the day in the villa where those talks were taking place. not everybody in the gym missed call was, is nicely behaved as much. oh, oh, yeah,
3:14 pm
it was the hottest ticket in town for john to get as close as he could to get your tamar in there for the shots and perhaps get a, a question answer after the call to either put an old biden. it actually go out of hand, it will probably surgeon the pushing and shoving it alternately. security saying get out. the name of the dog does little job and well, i mean talk about scenes of may have thought shop was raised. voices like on go, wasn't just before the summer. we also did see a bit of drama as president biden was actually leaving his press conference. these were some, well, this was a rather sharp exchange that he had with a cnn journalist. why are you saying behavior,
3:15 pm
mr. president the the okay, you have the rest of the villages or i'm not comp just while also of course one topic that bite and did raise during the summer that he'd been really was threatening to raise for weeks that was on the really grub. the headlines was the issue of human rights. he did talk a lot about how poor democracy is an american dna. he said, how could i be the president without raising it? and he did, of course, reiterate his promise very unto trump and promise about being america was back to, to full. he didn't, you'd raise that. it was raised in the press conference to and this is exactly what he had to say about human rights and free speech. how could i be the president of
3:16 pm
the united states of america and not speak out against the violation human rights? i told him that, unlike other countries, including russia, were uniquely a product of an idea. i also raised the ability of radio free europe radio, liberty to operate, and the importance of a free press and freedom of speech. when it comes to the relationship between the 2, this was billed as a heavy weight clash of the titans. perhaps we weren't expecting any major results, but certainly flocking much between 2 political, big guns. what they did say, both of them was that they talk to not just the president biden, the president, but joe biden demand vladimir per month. both saying that there was a said no ha, still itty as we heard earlier on when they agreed. one things that they could cooperate on. they talked about those when they disagree. they made sure that both of their points were made as forcefully as they could. joe biden,
3:17 pm
the us president saying though, while it was all very cordial, it's unlikely that they're going to be embracing one another and swaying side to fight anytime soon. i don't think he's looking for a cold war or the united states. i don't think it's true, but as i said to him, i said your generation and mine were about 10 years apart. this is not a combine moment is used to say back in the sixty's, united states like less hug and love each other. but it's clearly not in anybody's interest. your countries are mine for us to be in a situation where we're in a new cold war. of course it wouldn't be a terabyte and parents would about a couple of gas. what would fill the youtube channel if you didn't do that, he was caught early on with some notes on his lot. what people are cooling sheet sheets as he was sitting in the preschool room with president putin. you've also got caught reading off a prompt just before that press conference before he started taking questions from
3:18 pm
the john this one point. he also seemed to get confused about who he'd been sitting across from the table with for all those 3 hours. it was his thoughts on it as since taking office. so maybe got a bit overwhelmed. i caught part of prejudice trying to press conference. the tone of the entire meetings, i guess was total 4 hours was was what was was good positive. when i'm wondering if there was anything that you emerged from the discussion that made you think that would take my code on our defense, our intelligence and our foreign well our, my foreign minister was in for a ministry. my secretary state was with me the whole time summer walk well, still plenty to unpack. from the summit we are going to speak no more about that
3:19 pm
with a man who was here for a very different summit and a very different time in the same city met tom experience switch janice, thank you for talking to us. how does this so much rate in comparison and indifference to the summit in 1985 between go to the 12 of the ussr, ronald reagan, the united states. so thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak about these 2 events. i was, i was 85. it was the day off. my, i'm sorry, knowing my 29th anniversary. so i remember when, you know, the expectations at the time was much bigger than nowadays because it was the 1st meeting in the mid eighty's between to the president of the to so power was derived reagan and mr. go back. and there was a lot of expectation, including the people with the population who,
3:20 pm
who participated to the summit was curious to know this is go my chair. and how is mister, go by chance, because nobody knew about much about you. so today was much lower expectations, but i think not the bad result because the spirit of the meeting was as good as it was in a defiant nation. a continuation of agreeing to speak further in the future. in my opinion, because they are very good. the spirit between the reagan and god, my chevy knowledge, historical the fact. but as far we can feel about the meeting today, there was also some good spirit present put in as well. so recognize it said that it's a constructive meeting. and president, by then you don't say the opposite, which is a good we can say from his side was a good point. so i am your domestic,
3:21 pm
no big break. so that's something positive has been and gauge. and you know, i was recently in y'all to inquire, man, and i went to the palace of all your palace. why didn't 1060 a beautiful playing or i've never been so much. and what else you have to exactly what i was thinking is i thought fast, how amazing that people hold so much power in the hand to change the fate of the world. but also it took a war foot to bring those 3 together. well, my, well, i'm for exactly, but my question is, do you think these countries can only come together and really cooperate in times of crises, whether it's the war, whether it's as we seem to degradation of relationships or the as a be a time was i just sort of normal with each other. you know, i think relations between us and, and russia has never reach such a low level. i mean,
3:22 pm
even during the cold water, so called cold, well, it was not so well. and now, in my view, because during the cold war there was to sweat for and you know, that was collaboration on regular meeting between the 2 separate power, especially for the moment and so on. but since a few months, the propaganda against russia, especially in the western media, you saw hi, i have heard and read the depress. but it was proper dumb, done before the said it just some it the name that you know, we started from very little and i think that's why it just some, it just meeting was going to to you because it has to change a little bit this bit we may be returned from the cold war or the new call to the new cold peace. maybe we hope so,
3:23 pm
but there are some signs in that direction. now there was 2 will lead a volt if you include the president, there was 3, but if you there was 2 involved in the whole day. was there a specter of a 3rd present of conspicuous by his absence today? yeah, i think at the time of the 2 ladies, mrs. reagan, i just told you if i was talking about today, when you with the us and with a, with, with the time the board to log in to the meeting. now no ladies, but as i said, we start from solo that may be delayed. these will come in for the meeting. i was they would, the person i was talking about missing was perhaps president of china because they relationship. how do you not to know how those relations between washington and beijing and moscow in beijing? how while they impacted following today small step forward with the rush in the
3:24 pm
united china was not present, but decide to try now was was that's for sure. you know, i think it was, there were a big scales in beijing or about dismiss. i spoke with my colleagues from china, joan at his colleagues, and there are various gab, you know, offer kind of leave off islands for more and us against china. it was not the case because i think was shot as long for the story, then know exactly what to expect and have russia know, as president putin said, they have not too big expectation and they will not chance about. i thought it's better. but i think russia not now today because i heard the comments of my was so american griggs, on either side,
3:25 pm
the china was for you to notice that the advantage was given to president 15 because dominated the price confluence. largely that was the 1st comment. so you know what it is for during 50 minutes. the answer, every questions, even the toughest questions with the saw, the self control so dominated the press, the communication if i can see it in private, the biden has to unsub to him, which is never good for, for you know, for an equal president. and that's a good point because and those so i'm in prison, put in we can see you dominates the debate because he has a philosophical approach of the international relations, the kind of historical view which is not the case of many west on
3:26 pm
presidents. you don't know his story, they have no deep knowledge of that. and i think that's an advantage advantage for president put the real workforce into the into control of the situation. so i think last slide life advantages for some presidents, but so by them was a source false match because your record denies was also positive. which is good because i also want to talk to you obviously, as he said here and 85, the world is a very different parts of crumbled. how would you talk about the change in the countries themselves and the roles that play nowadays? how is america in your opinion change from why she was an 85 where she is now? and was she going? i don't know why i made her she. but let's go with the president because i will be
3:27 pm
so book in america. next. yes, next. yeah. the title is you ups existence al, dilemma and the subtitle is to be or not to be an american but will allow you that little bit of advertising go on. oh yes. if you do for this next week, i know your question is interesting. you know, america was the gym on, was that the 19 power power and how and now it has to learn to leave no more complex world. we do more multi, multi, multi like environment. and i think that's very hard for united states to learn to live in such a world. it's quite new for them. so we have maybe to have some patience in order to teach them how to lead and just knew. well, it's like my older sister when,
3:28 pm
when i found out that i was born, she didn't, she couldn't deal that shock, but no, to have to share a little bit of power. we like china, we talk about china also we do, i shout. and maybe i don't want to like africa, african surgeon, you know what i wanted to ask you a question about switzerland and how the no, no, not a big power. but that's been the host nation and how the meeting was received here in switzerland and also, you know, we didn't miss jo. what job i didn't miss the opportunity when he arrived yesterday to try and sell you guys some fight. the jets that may play a little role in some a negotiations coming us. yes, he was trying to send the f 155 and plain, but no switch on just to come to switzer as soon as i am a swiss, i am also proud to welcome me and i think this is did pretty well,
3:29 pm
because it was well organized security was unsure everything was okay, which is important, you know, to have as it were still going to i think for the switch on, on as, as was successful in the examination. yes. good point. but yes, you say foster yes for the play and the federal council might decide coming, reached probably maybe next week, most likely got to go with your team itself. thank you so much for talking to us. you close out our coverage here in geneva course. we've been off king, very serious, very grown up people with unbelievable expertise. however, that was one person who apparently in this world is also very interested in russian . us tied a very small person, a little 9 year old canadian go. she featured and a question to president putin on the conference. let's listen quickly. i'm finish up with what exact keep pushing hard to say to little go in canada.
