at a low expectations of life, i accepted the accept the fact that i made that appointment. we had no fears. del change pretty fast for shots. different stories behind the bullets. the headlights are on r, c. u. s. media lashes, author joe biden right off to the geneva summit thing. he gave me what he wanted and made america look week and put the russian liter takes rather a different view by it is a professional and you've got to be very careful with him in order not to miss anything. he doesn't miss anything. i can assure you, 1st us russia summit of the biden president, 3 delivered, fairly mixed results, both sides pointing to deep and resolve issues, but also agreeing to reinstate their investigative. both of our region of central italy gives the green light. the tourists who have received rushes,

sputnik resort to spite lack of approval so far from the european medicines agency . one regional counsellor spoke to us here at ortiz. we will know sputnik works and therefore it is probably a continuation of the european union's policy towards the russian federation. ah, well, it's already a busy thursday for your worldwide news headlines. welcome to the program here. this is the international. let me put in, has described his summit in geneva with joe biden as constructive and without hostility, while as us counterpart called it positive. it was the 1st face to face meeting as presidents. and the meeting lasted roughly 3 and a half hours. the who's

despite the generally positive tone from both presidents. so the american media is not happy. in the past 24 hours has been out pouring of negative coverage, accusing joe biden of simply not being tough enough. well, let's learn more now. crossing life, new york. he's kelly muffin, joining us here on the program. caleb, i know you are keeping a very close eye on the u. s. media there. can you give us some of its reaction, please? indeed, while in the lead up to the summit, we saw how american media was basically playing up the question, would joe biden be tough enough on russian president vladimir putin? it was all about how tough he would be. they didn't seem really concerned about the arms treaties. about the diplomatic deadlock being broken, it was about will joe biden be tough enough on vladimir putin? and now in the aftermath of this meeting, i had appears that they are not satisfied with jo biden's performance. they

consider him to have not done a very good job. at this point though, we've got headlines and we've got articles and press reactions saying that basically was given the world stage that he craved. he's accused at one point joe biden is accused of saying they say that he quote, gave a gift to killer. and at one point, he's been accused of being tougher on a cnn journalist than he was on the russian president. now, at this point we have the hill that has been particularly hard on joe biden saying that that basically he lost putin simply by showing up. and furthermore, they have made fun of joe biden said that he fails to talk properly without a prompter. and this is something that it appears fox news, which tends to lean conservative, cnn that tends to be more liberal. they seem to both agree on this. they're both harshly critical of joe biden, in the aftermath of the summit, take

a listen. it's obviously a test and president by failing. this is a guy who prides himself on president putin's on wrestling bears riding tigers. last sewing the moon. i mean he's, he's got this image that's bigger than now and he wants that and that, and present fun help perpetuate some of that today. it was bad. i don't see the bite and got anything from putting so they just gave great advantage to mr. newton calling him a great power, a worthy adversary, bright and tom, all of those flattery words to get him to respect. those were all of this summer really in terms of whether it gets results as a gamble for joe biden. he doesn't know if his gamble of actually inviting the summit is going to pay off. now it's important to note that while we can't really tell what happened at the face to face meeting between biden and prudent as that was in the villa behind closed doors in the press, there's afterwards, it was pretty clear that the biden was not afraid to bring up,

some rather prickly issues that were discuss stand afterwards we did it, it became very clear that while the tone was respectful, it was a tense conversation. at some point. now, russian president vladimir putin himself, has warned, against the notion that, you know, the notion that somehow biden is weak or incapable russian president vladimir putin just doesn't see it that, that way. this is what he said. what was the difference? just, you know, i might say that the image of president buys, in which the press in russia and even marycris jewelry has nothing to do with reality. he'd been on a long journey flying across the atlantic. we're talking about just like him, you know, even when i fly, it throws me off balance a little. and yet he look to love me. i talk to him face to face for 2 hours, or maybe a little more than that. he's completely in the loop. he did look into his notes from time to time, but we all do that. and that image that's being drawn by the media kind of low,

you in a full sense of security. but there's no reason for that whatsoever, because it is a professional. and you've got to be very careful with him in order not to miss anything. he doesn't miss anything. i can assure you that. so it's long been said that american media thrives on controversy and conflict and what we seem to be looking at an american media is widespread disappointment that they did not get the conflict and controversy that they were looking for. or at all, it is a kill him off and i live in new york. thank you. well, i don't let him. i put in a news conference in geneva. he was a bombarded with questions from international john lists. they were particularly interested in the treatment of the russian opposition. did you commit to stopping your crank down against the opposition groups inside russia led by election of

electing of on him? why the, why are young people not allowed to protest in russia with the but way press core does, as i pointed out, they never challenge a u. s. leader from the left. so they'll never ask him about julian assange. they will only ask about navarro ne and a this bloomberg white house reporter jennifer jacobs. both on twitter about she heckling putin and fantasizes about biden smiling at her, which says everything you need to know about these denial gophers. they're not holding power to account in their own capital, their heckling the designated enemies of america, and hoping to get the approval of their president. while the mentality of these journalists is the mentality of the east coast establishment, they operate from a place of american exceptionalism and american innocence. they cannot fathom that the u. s. could possibly be literally paying opposition, figures, managing opposition, figures. and so when these reporters were badgering couldn't about no volunteer,

they were unable to accept his response, which was that we don't want to see something like what you saw on january 6 with the movement of insurrection is while are in stark contrast putin's conference, no russian reporters were allowed into biden's post summit briefing, although the us leader felt the heat of one point though from an american reporter before later, apologizing for losing his temper. behavior has not changed. after sitting down with you for several hours, denied cyber a few days. so how can help a construction meeting the pages behavior, mister president, the the,

like i said, we'll have the rest of the comment just just for a moment. let's assess the outcomes of this summit, both biden and prudent. they did agree to hold chops on strategic stability in the control of nuclear weapons. they also discussed out of a possible prisoner exchange, and they agreed to return their respective ambassadors to their official posts. now, unfortunately, there was no real breakthrough on the issue of cyber security though they agree to start regular consultations on the issue. as far as that goes with stumbling blocks, so potent and bite and both raised concerns about human rights in each other's countries, they also fail to come up with any serious action plan for ukraine. now auntie correspondent, motor gas div, he was at the russian president's media conference after the meeting. have a listen to this report. among the difficult questions that vladimir putin faced,

that which joe barton had the good fortune to escape with. questions about the opposition that we have pointed out the li protesters, the rest of 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 the year. but to budget said that there's new comparison to use the criminals, but a leg saying that boldly who was convicted and was serving a 2 year sentence for the violation of his early release. so he was convicted by russian court and vladimir putin. he says that, you know, americans are comparing what happened to capitol hill to the treatment of alexi and yvonne and saying there's nothing in common. but the nation is just, you know, by you regarding a 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, but 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 borrow job buttons, words. they need to be rules of the world, so that as a rule to how both countries should behave in case they come into this agreement over something with a dispute outside conflict. how to resolve them as a civilized part, i would say fred, the far too early, but they need a framework of how to behave. and so 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 the, who's the why disturb online? and he said, how would the united states feel if it was she'd by the rest of the world as meddling for an election?

which much of the world she's the united states as do it. but in this rate, that was us. russia is accused of being predictable by the what. how is russia plan interchange here vladimir putin smockey that shit urged he's given us nearby. lead you said the whisky leaves that russian foreign policy is unpredictable and we'll let you send the park back to you at the u. s. leaving the abm treaty in 2002 with absolutely unpredictable. what were they doing it for that type of mind? the basis of international stability in the area of strategic security then withdrew from the i n f treaty in 2019. there's nothing label about that. the open sky treaty withdrawal, there's nothing stable about it and almost nothing left me. thank god, in the field, the strategic stability, mr. by taking a completely adequate decision to prolong the new start treaty for 5 years. if you

take the situation with ukraine with crimea, and that's where the song writer was stable about inducing the qu, they, when the ex president could be agreed to all the demands of the opposition. he was basically ready to abandon power. declared new elections in about 3 months. no blood filled the crew with needed any but lead to known consequences. southeast of the country, then crimea. and you think it's also predictably not? well, i don't think we do it. at the end of the day, what happened here in geneva, decent 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 is about laying a foundation on which russia the united states can rebuild relations. i wouldn't say build on relations because there aren't much left to speak off there, there in taxes, whether it worked. joe biden says,

we'll find out within the year whether looks he results from the, from all the top, from all the agreement and the criticism that both sides had for each other. but the message is the preliminary. it was successful ahead of the summit, us politicians and media, albert urged biden to take a tough line saying that he should ultimately show putin quote, as a new sheriff in town. they were apparently left rather on the well by the american leaders performance in judy you believe latino on the country meeting was very constructive. there wasn't any, any strident action taken views before or many issues or we disagreed. i disagree, stated where it was, where he disagreed, he stated, but i believe both slides have shown a willingness to understand each other,

but it was not done in a hyperbolic atmosphere. i have no illusions following the meeting, neither old nor new. there can't be any illusions at all. you can define what time you're going to, 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 some time back when, when putin and donald trump mit, that was very interesting in that donald trump, with the unseasoned politician. so he was much more fun to read because at that stage it was early on in his presidency. he wasn't. well, 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 the contrast between the 2 pizza, who's, who's been around a long time 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

that you know, and, and he knows the stuff he might not be doing very well. i think on the international stage that he does know it is harder to read and we've got to look at those clues a lot, a lot more closely. our team and switzerland actually. so one john was to back in 1985 was working the very same summit, but that time with gorbachev and reagan explain the significance of that meeting and how things perhaps have changed. it was the day off my, i'm sorry, knowing and i 29th anniversary. so i remember where, you know, the expectations at the time was much bigger than nowadays because it was the 1st meeting in the need a div between to the president of the to so power was derived reagan need to go back. and that was a lot of expectation,

including the people with the population who, who participated to the summit was curious to know this is go much serve off and how we missed or go by chance because nobody knew about much about you. so today was much lower expectations, but i think not the bad result because this period of the meeting was as good as it was in a defined relation, a continuation of agreeing to speak further in the future. in my opinion, because a very good spirit between the reagan and go about jeffrey. now it's historical the fact. but as far we can feel about the meeting today, there was also some good spirit didn't put in as well. so recognize it. and she said that it's a constructive meeting, and president by then don't say the opposite, which is

a good we can say from his side was a good point. so i am part of the mystic, you know, big break. but something for the deal has been engaged. ah, this is on the international group to have with us today. a region over italy is now allowing tourists to receive the russian sputnik ve coverage shot to visit the mark. a province is urging the government to follow suit and open up the entire country to start travellers. and we heard from our local counselor who actually came up with this initiative for michelle. everyone knows the effectiveness of scrutiny on neighbor san marino, who's vaccination with nick, but we are not even supposed to allow citizens of san marino to into italy. now our

region intends to open up to continue welcoming russians and we want to maintain relations with russia. we are friends with russia, and we want to continue business in the tourism sector, russian citizens and tourists, even if the vaccinated cannot come to italy. and this is cause tremendous economic losses because italy attracts the loss of russian tourists each year. this comes a week after the european parliament gave final approval to the new digital certificate scheme for over 19, and includes data on p. c. r tests, antibodies and vaccination. but only with shots approved by the european madison's agency. so father regulator has approved for vaccines, but those do not include russian chinese or indian ones. america counselor, jericho. marcia again says it's become a highly politicized issue. much you show no day in my opinion, this decision is caused by geopolitical reasons and ross, the phobia. these are not medical reasons because we all know student works and

therefore it is probably a continuation your opinions policy towards the russian federation. i have absolutely no fear that we are protecting the interests of mar, k, e to often protects interests that conflict with the interests of europe and citizens. we a european citizens, but we are primarily residents of them are k. so we serve our interests, especially in such absurd situations, like the one we're talking about, or just a few clicks away for you right now online at r t dot com a petition has been launched to stop amazon boss jeff bezos from returning to us. so 1000 have signed a claim in the best offices. in fact, lex luther, the villain from the superman theories. now that he's going on a test flight into space in july they said, don't bother coming back home. he read about that and many other stories online. it's all feed dot com a little bit more news from italy now where there's been a dramatic influx of migrants on the tiny island of lump reduce on tuesday,

a low and more than 700 people made the crossing from north africa in small boats. the local mayor says the situation is out of control. one of those things that have been many migrant arrivals on our island. more than 1300 people. while our center has a max capacity of 250. in the next few hours, some $200.00 migrants should be moved to the quarantine ship. the situation is evolving. if something goes wrong, things might get dangerous because locals are very unhappy. the tourist season has just started. this island relies on tourism and if the health situation deteriorates, even just among the migrants, things could get serious for us. the real problem is that the migrant crisis is not being addressed by the politicians. so many criminals, such as smugglers take advantage of it. they help them cross the mediterranean for money and put their lives in danger. it is a significant spike newcomers for love producer where refugee shelf is only have

capacity for $250.00 people. so far this year, more than $16000.00 mike had made the crossing to italy. that is 3 times the total of 2020, the mayor of land producer accuses brussels of looking the other way. this division mission, the europe in union is doing absolutely nothing about economic migrants. europe talks about refugees, but economic migrants arrive in land, producer, and italy. and for this class of migrants, the use doing absolutely nothing. it's not helping us to tool se should do more, fewer slogans and more action. you should make these proposals in parliament, not in the newspapers. it's easy to talk and do nothing. this is just propaganda. there are no concrete facts. salvia he talks and can't do anything else. he speaks in the newspapers, we should do more from a political point of view. algeria has banned the tv network,

france 24 months of warnings over its coverage of unsee government unrest. this withdrawal has been decided over the overt and repeated hostility against our country and its institutions non compliance with the rules of professional ethics as well as information and manipulation. the african nation i q a channel of bias earlier this year and it's coverage of huge marches that were going on at the time. officials sent a final warning to france 24 in spring before withdrawing a license. the day off, the algeria and elections are marked by a 70 percent abstention rate. fonts for 24, insisted coverage of the nation is being transparent, independent and honest with observers expecting a french government condemnation follow shortly. so we debated the issue with 2 political commentators and elizabeth moved a animal habit answer. we have all farms french or i'm again

that the coverage is 57 misinformation putting distance nation, then peddling. i hard line french government propaganda line. 24 is covering anti government protest and what the german government would like, it generally is following just to go away and from foreign broadcasters, and especially for jobs because both of our jury and community not to talk about them at all. i mean, what they like is essentially just to counsel anybody who says something that is not mike to them for things. and for the people that live in us think we should be free. they are entirely entitled to say, we are happy with this new car is biased, is program pro, again it is about colonial germany and they tie from say we have food festival, it's the thing who government has been and how for 70 years. and that already is not what looked like democracy in normal countries,

and you're confusing wilfully regulation in terms of fairness. legally, with what opinion said, disagree with a company you have to remember from is a nation that invaded north west africa that the people want to. now it's not say, well, there's a reality of channels. you know, i say that these channels as well, got to question you for the nation. say people decide. so i was telling information, would you information were saying that the german government for the entire people around your area and this is not true. this is a solution with only 30 percent of the people voting in the last election. the government share of it has gone so much down, but right now they've got less than fewer than 20 percent of the people actually looting for them helping a balance for them. and 2nd history is history. but politics today, something entirely different or the level brought him free for you right now. protests in berlin through projectiles of police and said barricades on fire. they

tried to stop a fire safety inspection from going ahead residence fear the test will be used for the pretext to pick them from their homes. a police say 60 officers were injured in the suing stuff. and severe blood hit the 50 of courage and the russian province of crimea local hospital is among the buildings. badly affected meteorologist say over a month and a half worth of rain fell just on thursday night. a 17 year old mans been charged in austin, texas over must shooting on saturday. one person killed 30 and injured during a feud between 2 groups of teenagers. the suspect was detained on monday, but no thanks to a major austin newspaper which refused to publish the official please description of the suspect claiming it perpetuated stereotypes and could lead the police have only released a vague description of the suspected shooter as of saturday morning. the american

statesman is not include in the description as it is too vague this time to be useful in identifying the shooter and such publication could be harmful to patch rate and stereotypes. we spoke with paul white, who's the executive director of the human rights defense center. it says the, the newspaper that is violated. the basic standards of john was most of the other media outlets that reported on it all, described the suspect. as i recall, being a skinny black man with dreadlocks from the also journal states. i mean they are very well respected newspaper, but even the not perpetuating stereotypes seems kind of problematic. that's a critical thing. i don't think that journals should be in the business of withholding information from the public basics of journalism or reporting who what, when, where, and if you know what, why. i think that to the extent that the police rely on cooperation are helping the public and solving crimes or, you know, finding stuff specs. i think there withholding information i think definitely slows

. are slow that down at i. that's the program for this half hour here on archie international though plenty more still to come with my colleague uno niel is here at the desk and half an hour's time. hope you can join him the mobile. busy geopolitical game, as it's called some time rest upon the foundation, us dollars primacy, us dollar a world reserve current. now you've got a major in russia outside of a dollar. that gives them a way to maneuver in a way that no other country can. all other countries in the late, in the end of the ability to maneuver outside the dollar. it's an incredible freedom that they now have no extreme to being completed, bypassing ukraine,

delivering energy directly from russia to germany is just the 1st of many, many, many. when the news, the news the the, the, the the, the me readings and salutations leaders

come leaders go. but anyone who's been playing or watching the game of politics knows that while the names and faces may change, many of the most dangerous or problematic policies. rarely do, especially in the game of international politics. take the much ballyhooed over hyped, over analyzed meeting between the united states president joe biden, and russian president vladimir potent that took place in geneva this week. while the cable news talking heads were falling all over themselves, trying to turn a simple meeting between 2 world leaders into a w w e style. helena fell match between jo the crusher biden and vladimir the body potent with the fate of the free world hanging above the ladder outside the ring. in the end, it was really just us russia politics as usual. this commonality came much to the chagrin of the u. s political press.
