the robot must protect its own existence, was the flooding a potent as cautious optimism last year wraps up his landlord. geneva summit with joe. why did you when you could give mister there was no hostile lety on the country meeting was very constructive. i have no illusions following the meeting and he's an old nor knew they can't be any illusions. that's all part of those things rather less certain off of the summit. so even appearance, a confused person with trump. i caught part or prejudice from food. press conference in his post saw it news conference, joe boston questions. the report is playing that the us president would change

blood prudence behavior. why hell have behavior, mr. president? the ah . just going 3 am here in moscow. thanks for joining us on the international. i'm daniel walton through the you are welcome to the program construct. if without any hostility, that's flooding a boot and view on his talks with joe bought and who praised the possible interaction as both spoke at their own post. some news conferences, more details now from our team in switzerland, who look back at the day's events in geneva. the, who's

me welcome back to geneva, what long take it is worth it. he has been a really long couple of weeks. i'll hold on high school that falls around. of course, the big russia us summit was building. now it's over, don, president biden, president putin, they sat down, they talked, i'm really the bottom line is, looks like ties between the 2 countries are better today than they watch tomorrow and really looks like the best you can. 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 at them say that they'll read 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, i'm in washington, us, some of that 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, 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 wilson, somebody school remote point that i didn't know when a profi the 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 what i do, mister, there was no hospitality on the country meeting was very constructive. our views differ many issues, but i believe both sides have shown a willingness to understand each other and to bring out different positions close together. there wasn't any, any strident action taken,

or we disagreed. i disagree, stated where it was where he disagreed, he stated, but it was not done in a hyperbolic atmosphere. i have no illusions following the meeting, neither old nor new. there be any illusions at all by set in vain. russia. and by the way, that was a joke. both presidents have now left, 3 watched both. they are playing 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 sing on me. 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 know to something that we noticed q days ago. when we sold the soldiers, we sold the police, we saw the boat, so we're going mad on the, on the lake today we will say, so helicopters flying overhead. it's actually been quite exciting. we've got to be

a perfect view of the sunset over the lake just behind your engine. even city looking resplendent. it has been roasting hold off, but i want to say it's pathetic fantasy absolutely perfect for the heated tools. and i think they probably was heated, biting himself, gave, and, and that there were some things that he was not willing to negotiate. personally. also, 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 as need a power. they obviously shut that responsibility. definitely. that wasn't, that it was almost like a business deal, but they had to think very programatically about the relationship moving forward. now course the best pass and place to taught us every about, especially president putin's press conference was more garcia, who himself was literally in the hall. i believe he's got a chance to all president putin. a question himself, among the difficult questions that vladimir putin faced,

that which joe barton had the good fortune to escape with questions about the opposition. so that we pointed out to the protest in the rest of the following the events in capitol hill. but they faced as much as 25 years in jail for you 5 years in jail for a political protest that the, the do budget said that there's new comparison to because they're criminal. but a leg saying, the bombing, who was convicted in serving a 2 year sentence for the violation of his early release. so he was convicted by russian court. and let me putin here says that you do. 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 go to unknown 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? one of the things both leaders agreed on is to bo buttons was they need to be rules of the road. so that as a rule to how booth countries should behave in case they come into this agreement over something, it's a dispute or outright conflict, how to resolve them as civilized partners. i wouldn't say friends it's, it's far too early, but they need a framework of how to behave. and for that to happen, those countries need to be held equally accountable. it wouldn't do a foreign country gets away with doing something and the other doesn't feel bad. and said, phrase that caused quite disturb of our lives. and he said, how would the united states feel if it was she by the rest of the world as meddling in for an election, which much of the world. she's the united states as do it. but at least say that

mapleton was us, russia is accused of being predictable by the west. how is russia planning to change? here, vladimir answered smudgin was going to know that when she don't strike, he's given us. no, you said the west leave, the 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 undermine the basis of international stability in the area of strategic security. then withdrew from the i n f treaty in 20. 19. 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 coup d'etat? when the ex president, the courage agreed with all the demands of the opposition. he was basically ready to abandon power. declared new elections in about 3 months. no, the blood filled qu was needed that lead to known consequences, the southeast of the country, then crimea. and you think it's us who predictably, no, i don't think so. we just let the president we're also lost and revealed somewhat personal things like food and say, and joe biden confirming that they talked about barton's mother. joe biden bowed up his child with something you wouldn't do. you know, if you was sitting next to somebody you disliked or even the tests that so it's sort of a measure of trust in develop a night too. i understand that that has developed between the 2 leaders and here of jupiter was asked for the latterly some one that he can truck which is you know.

busy a question that he evasive he wouldn't answer yes or no, but that was similar questions 40. she's when he looks at joe buttons, eyes spoke and you know, several years ago when you met dan vice president biden, he said you look into your eyes and didn't see a soul there. when you looked into his eyes, they just say a 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 interests of our countries. and these relations are always pragmatic and putting up the end of the day. what happened here in geneva? these in touch summit was basically a trust building exercise. very few specifics with agreed upon. if any they agreed to talk about many things to work on. many things, but ultimately it is

a trust exercise. it is about laying a foundation on which russia the united states can rebuild relations. i wouldn't say build on relations because there are much left to speak off their, their in taxes, whether it's worth. joe biden says, we'll find out within the year whether looks he results from, from all the talk from all the agreements and all the criticism that both sides had for each other. but the message is that preliminary? it was successful. farmer guys, did you spend 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. 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 pap get a question and asked about the cough to either food and old biden. it actually go out of hand, it will be soldier, and that's pushing and shoving it alternately security said,

get out the dog does this job and raised voices like anger 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 is are the was the rest of the i'm not just said also course one topic that by didn't did raise during the summer that he'd

been really was threatening to raise for weeks. that was something that really grabbed the headlines was the issue of human rights. he did talk a lot about how do he is an american dna. he said, how could i be the president without raising it? and he did, of course, reiterate his promise very onto 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 on free speech. how could i be the president of 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 and 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 looking 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 to mon, vladimir burton demand. both saying that there was, i said, know how still it is 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, 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 side anytime soon. i don't think he's looking for a cold war with united states. i don't think it's about, as i said to him, i said your generation of mine are about 10 years apart. this is not a come by our moment is used to say back in the sixty's united states like less huggy 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 live out a couple of gas. what would a huge ship channel if he didn't do that, he was caught early on with some notes on his lot. what people are cooling sheet sheets up. she was sitting in the protocol room with president putin. you've all said that the court reading off a prompt just before the press conference before we started taking questions from the john the 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 or prejudice. try to press conference. the tone of the entire meetings, i guess was total 4 hours was was what was was good positive. and i'm wondering if there was anything that you emerged from the discussion that made you think that

would take. my son is our defense, our intelligence and our foreign well our from my foreign minister was in for a ministry. my secretary state was with me the whole time. you can decide what you're going to weigh, or your advisors can tell you where at the time that's going to be a message. but if you can't hide v a grimace, you can't hide an expression on your face. you can try sometime back when, when putin and donald trump met. that was very interesting in that donald trump was the unseasoned politician. so he was much more fun to read because at that stage was early on in his presidency. he wasn't a will not that he became very refined, but he was a lot less refined in that he even became. and you could see a lot more going on there. and a contrast between the 2, putin who's, who's been around a long time at the end and very sees. and in this regard, you could see this contrast here. both are very, very well trained in this regard. biden's been around from before god probably add

but you know, and, and he knows the stuff he might be doing very well. i think on the international stage, but he doesn't. so it is harder to read and we've got to look at those keys a lot a lot more closely. we saw the cheerleaders standing on the steps of the village on the ground with the swiss president in between them. now this is a stance, i remember very well from my childhood, me one of my best mates, andrew. we were forever fighting one another. one of our mothers would end up standing between us and going you to be friends. what does that mean? i'm not reading far too much into this. what was that? well, you know, for what can you tell us about the language of the latest? in fact, your, your analogy around your childhood. i think it's very, very apt because what we see exactly that. and when i saw the expression on biden's face when he smiled and, and greeted it was almost like you were a kid. and maybe you were on stage and your mom was in the audience. thank smile.

well, remember to smile, and that was the sense that i got to it wasn't a response, it was more of a, i'm told to do this. i think that the handshake as well, was choreographed. we knew they both knew that were going to shake hands. there wasn't a discussion on the stairs around that that has already happened and bob couldn't wait to, to lean forward to, to shake hands because that's what he was told to do. so that was something very, very awkward as though these, these 2 men, in fact were children. now we think back when, when biden made a comment to that, that awful comment about putin being a killer. he made the publicly, when, when putin was asked about it, he said, well, when i was young and we were in the courtyard playing a, you know, we used to 20 each other inside what it takes one to know one. so think about that . a lot of the childhood stuff where one person is trying to get on top will get the better of the other. that was one person who apparently in this world is

also very interested in russian. us ties 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. it's great that you will, 9 year old daughter is interested in this issue. and the answer is very simple. you have to look around and say, you see how beautiful this world is and adults, the leaders of the 2 countries, the largest nuclear power, a meeting in order to make this world a safe, reliable, prosperous home for all inhabitants of our planet. wow. that's it from us. it has a wild ride for the last few days. i'll tell you that we came. we were given such a beautiful view. we will give an unbelievable guest. i got to work with pizza. i've had wonderful company. we've had some lots. we've taken care of some serious business and other people yet. thank you so much. all of you who joined us here on

our tea and from geneva, goodbye. ah ah ah with me ah ah, i use

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 in the in the moon. ah, welcome back to the program, moscow's man mandatory cobit shots for 60 percent of service sector workers. that's along with transport and education stuff. that's off the recent surge in daily cases. if a friend goes across a story, all the mayor is pretty much making it clear that the russian capital has unleashed

a real war against covert. so what are these places and organizations where more than half of staff members? 60 percent, to be precise, will now be subject to mandatory vaccination. that is, cafes restaurants, bars. so pretty much the entire food industry, beauty, sal, odds, jim's spas. besides this theaters, museums, libraries, also transport facilities and the department of banks where the staff members directly deal with the clients and the mayor even set the deadlines for these organizations that will have to provide their workers with the vaccine. now for the 1st component, that will be july 15th and it will be august the 15th for the 2nd component. now you might want to ask, what about the medical exemptions? well, if for this or that reason you are exempt, if you have allergies,

if you're pregnant, if you have the chronic diseases that isn't something to be matched with the vaccine, no matter where you work, an exemption means no job and also have to tell you that for now, as this is only a rule that will be applied to the russian capital, so it's not yet happening on a federal level in russia. now we heard from the head of the moscow government survey so bad, and here's how he just defied his decision. it's up to each person, whether it's a vaccinate or not, is their decision, as long as they're sitting at home. but when you go out to public places and get in contact with other people consciously or unconsciously, you become complicit in the spread of the disease. if you work in an organization that serves an unrestricted range of people, then during an epidemic, it's definitely not just your business, no matter what personal sets of equipment you use. well, i can tell you that for,

for 5, possibly even 6 months, the situation with the new corona virus cases in moscow has been a rather stable. i remember looking at the numbers almost every day. it was plus 2000 roughly. they plus $3000.00. but again, if you think of moscow to massively huge city, perhaps, sounds like just a drop in the ocean. however, in mid june, the curve really started going up rapid the on sunday. that was more than plus $7000.00 cases in one single day in moscow. these are the numbers that we haven't seen since the end of last year. now it got down to a bit under $6000.00, but still this is an impressive spike compared to what we had in spring. so the moscow city authority said that they had to take action only a few days ago, new measures were announced. in fact, these are old measures. these are just the ones that have been lifted. now the word mandatory may sound scary to some and clearly some of the critical voices will be

getting louder now. but i can tell you that in that statement from the moscow mayor office, the officials are reminding that workers from some of these sectors such as teachers and doctors, they have been used to obligatory vaccine from other highly infectious diseases such as measles, for example. and this is something that's been there for decades, if not centuries. so the anti cobit vaccine will only be an addition to that list. we have asked the people in the streets of moscow what they make of the slated decision. some people are happy about it, some are not welcoming that at all. so there's a whole variety of opinions still deserve. if it's obligatory, then i have to get vaccinated. but if it's voluntary, then i'd rather refuse. i'm scared and makes me to do really the main thing is for less people to get. if that helps, then i'm all for it's many people don't understand that this could be necessary.

but for now, this is a very questionable story, and i'm concerned, i think everyone should make their own decision. it's their personal health. after all, i will not get vaccinated. we'll work with masks and gloves. we get this constantly . yes, we do. and so far. thank god, then negative probable walker biology professor saw and clog believes we could see similar measures elsewhere. well, i figure find the number, the number is growing and they will bump along mostly to go up and down in the coming weeks and months. i think some people will really begin to start to demand this from me, from municipal workers, from people who are essentially by the state. and we are already seeing it. you're seeing it in moscow, but we're seeing other parts of the world as well. so i think we're moscow leads others will fall or you could argue that it is a small plot price to pay compared to letting that cove, it spreads through the population and check out that would be even bigger. dr.

corruption has been rambling across europe during the pandemic that's gotten at least to a certainly by the global watchdog transparency international. 3 quarters of the 40000 respondents situation is actually getting worse. one, the story is shot at the whiskey. 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 store cust elements, was access to health care during the 19 pandemic. the report describes that as being a hot spot corruption wherever you go, you must pay up. and if you can't pay, you died before your time,

me and me because it 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. cost of people said they paying bry perfect health care, but sales at the for and 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 used a personal connection to receive medical attention. so please, i'm not surprised. medical attention results for the lease, which is absolutely and acceptable, especially in that 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 repeat stays, shouldn't even be charging money for health care. i do not saying that fruit ever get rid of corruption, a startling 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 call at 19 vaccine or medical treatment before those with more urgent needs. it's crucial that governments across the eel redouble their efforts to ensure a fair and equitable recovery from the ongoing pandemic. all of this highlights just how fragile the use mechanisms can be and could be one of the reasons why confidence in the blocks ability to handle crises like 19 has taken such a hit. recent polls have 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 issue is about to allocate billions of you, raise the post pandemic we're covering the root cause of the current corruption, i think is the paranoia which has been created by the large pharmaceutical companies and the world health organization. this is meant that most resources are being put into mass vaccinations and also everyone being forced to take p c r tests . and this, of course, is exacerbating corruption that already existed because this mass corruption, i'm the big company in the lobbying, they pay to brussels in order to keep the vaccinations going magically shooting through to the rest of the population. pretty often the whole itself up as a model of integrity, the results of transparency international for romance as challenges renews i'm sure .
