me the ah, the us media last year joe biden. 1 following the geneva, so mad thing he gave love america. what he wanted and made america look week ago, the russian leader takes very different why he 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 the 1st us russia some itself, the biden presidency delivered, mixed results with both sides pointing to deep on resolve issues, but also agreeing to reinstate their own busters. also coming up in the program

today, a region of central italy gives the green light to tourists who have received brushes, but like to be shot despite a lack of approval so far from the european medicines agency, a regional counselor. so we will know what works and therefore just will probably be a continuation of the european union policy towards the russian ration ah, broadcasting live from moscow every hour of the day. welcome to the news r and r t. i'm, you know, let me put, has described his summit in geneva with joe biden of constructive and without hostility, while his u. s. counterpart called it positive that it was their 1st face to face meeting of presidents. the talks lasted 3 and a half hours. the

who's will, despite the generally positive tone from both presidents, the american media aren't happy since the summit, there's been a not putting of negative coverage, accusing joe biden of not being tough enough. ortiz kill us up and has more than that. 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 wouldn't be. they didn't seem really concerned about the arms treaties, about the diplomatic with deadlock being broken. it was about, well joe biden to 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 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, they say that he quote, gave a gift to a 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 a putin simply by showing up. now there was another article on the hill that marked joe barton's inability to speak before the press without a teleprompter. and said that it was embarrassing for him to look down at his notes every so often. 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 might fail. this is a guy who prides himself on, you know, president putin's on wrestling bears riding tigers last knowing the moon. i mean he's, he's got this image that's bigger than now and he wants that and that, and prism find 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 a great power, a worthy adversary, right? and tom, all of those flattery words to get him to respect. those were all true summit really in terms of whether it gets resolved as a gamble for joe biden. he doesn't know if his gamble of actually inviting the summit is going to pay off. 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 discussed dan, afterwards, it became very clear that while the tone was respectful and it was a tense conversation, at some point was now the russian president, vladimir putin, himself has warned against 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. for sure. you know, i'd like to say that the image of president biden, which the press in russia and even in america is drawing, has nothing to do with reality. he's been on a long journey flying across the atlantic. so we're talking about jet like here. you know, even when i fly, it throws me off balance a little. and yet he looked alert. i told 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'll do that. and that image has being drawn by the media kind of low you into 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. 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. and answer love mere futons news conference in geneva. he was bombarded with questions from international journalists. they were particularly interested in the status of the russian opposition. did you commit to stopping your crank down against the opposition groups inside russia led by election of ownership, electing, of owning the why are young people not allowed to protest in russia? what 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 his sons. they will

only ask about nevada me and a this bloomberg white house reporter jennifer jacobs. both on twitter about she heckling putin and fantasizes about bite and smiling at her, which says everything you need to know about these denial golfers. 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. well, 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, recruiting 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 as well. in contrast to loving putin's conference,

no russian reporters who are lowered into jo biden's post summit briefing. although the u. s. leader felt the heat at one point from an american reporter before later apologizing for losing his temper. the behavior has not changed. after sitting down for several hours denied any cyber attack. so how did that help a construction meeting at the health pages behavior mister president will have the rest of the comments? well,

here's the main takeaways from the summit biden on putting agreed to whole consultations on the strategic stability and nuclear arms control. they also discussed a possible prisoner exchange on a great return their respective busters to their posts. there was no breakthrough on cyber security though though they agreed to start regular consultations on the issue of for stumbling blocks, the 2 presidents res concerns, but human rights and the others country. the also fail to come up with any concrete action plan for ukraine. our keys broadcast, the pause of the russian leaders, media conference after the meeting among the difficult questions that vladimir putin faced, that which joe barton had the good fortune to escape with. questions about the opposition that pointed out the protest to the rest of following the events and

capitol hill, but they take as much as 25 years in jail for you 5 years in jail for a political program. the year, the job budget said that there's no comparison to use the criminal, but a legacy in 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 vladimir putin here says the american, you are comparing what happened to capitol hill to the treatment of election yvonne and saying there's nothing in common with the nation. you 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 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 bar joe buttons was that need to be rules of the road. so that as a rule to how both countries should behave in case they come into this agreement over something with a dispute. ill outright probably have to resolve them as civilized part. i would say fred, the thought early, but they need a framework of how to behave. and so that to happen, both countries need to be held equally accountable. it wouldn't do a fun time. she gets away with doing something and the other doesn't feel barbie said. phrase the who's the spies and stuff on live. 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 sees the united states as do it. but in this way, that many of russia is accused of being are predictable. by the way, how is russia planning to james? here vladimir smart. he was going to know that when you shoot over to you and you

know, you said the whiskey leaves that russian foreign policy is unpredictable, we'll let you send the park back to you at the u. s. leaving the abm treaty in 2002 was 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 to label about that. the open sky treaty withdrawal, there's nothing stable about that. and almost nothing left me. thank god, in the field. a strategic ability mister by not taking a completely adequate decision to prolong the new start, treat for 5 years. if you take the situation with crane with crimea, and that's where the sun right, wasn't stable about in the day when the ex president, the covey agreed, with all the demands of the opposition. he was basically ready to abandon power and

declare new elections in about 3 months. note, all the blood filled with needed lead to no consequences of the countries then crimea. and you think it's also predictably nice. oh, i don't think so. do we just look at the end of the day? what happened here in geneva? the entire 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 aren't much left to speak off there, there in taxes. whether it was joe biden says, we'll find out within the year whether looks he results from, from all the top from all the agreements and all the criticism that both sides had for each other. but the message is that preliminary, it was successful. guilty of all ahead of the summer to us politicians. media

outlets urged biden to take it offline. think he should show that quote. there's a new sheriff in time, but they were apparently left underwhelmed by the american president's performance in geneva. the teeth, when the country meeting was very constructive, there wasn't any, any strident action taken our views before or many issues or we disagreed. i disagree state 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 decide what time are you going to? where are your advisors can tell you where a 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. 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 has 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 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 keys a lot, a lot more closely. what our team in switzerland talked to a journalist who back in 1985 worked up in geneva summit between mikhail gorbachev . unravel, reagan, he explained the significance of the meeting and how things have changed. it was the day off my, i'm sorry, of 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 mid eighty's between to the president of the to so pop our was to like reagan and mr. go back. and that was a lot of expectation, including the people with the population who participated to the summit. was curious to know this is go my serve off and how is mr. go by chance,

because nobody knew about much about your soul today. no, that was much lower expectations, but i think not a bad result because this period of the meeting was as good as it was in 85 and a continuation of agreeing to speak further in the future. in my opinion, because they are very good. the spirit between reagan and go by geoffrey, now it's historical fact, but as far we can see about the meeting today, there was also some good spirit. president putin has also recognize it. and he 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 optimistic, it's no big break. but something for the deal has been engaged.

the who's the murder of moscow hands voiced his alarm over a dramatic spike in kobe cases here in the russian capital. sir, k civilian said daily cases have risen threefold and just a few days, and he is urging people to get vaccinated. let's cross life now to our, to dimitry poke. do you mean to tell us what the mer to say and what's known about the sudden search in case numbers? well, the russian authorities are really in a tough spot right now. corona virus cases in russia, in general, and in moscow are once again on the rise and reaching levels that were recorded back in february. now, among the reasons behind the spike,

according to authorities, might be the new strains of corona virus. specifically, the new delta variant which originated in india, now, has been singled out as one of the most dangerous ones in the past few weeks. however, the sporting vaccine, which is one of the more popular vaccines available in russia has been shown to be quite effective against the delta strain. however, that kind of leads to the other problem. most russians don't want to get vaccinated despite countless efforts by regional authorities to incentivize inoculation. they've offered cash. they've offered attempts to win cars. apartments, nothing seems to work. in fact, at this point about only 10 percent of the russian population has been vaccinated. and that's compared to countries like the u. k. in the us, where over 50 percent of the people have gotten the job. now, in response to the cases, moscow, mayor survey civilian earlier this week announced that this whole week would be an extended holiday under the condition that stores restaurants,

other public venues would close down after 11 pm. and that employers in the service industry would ensure that their workers were the 60 percent of their workers were indeed vaccinated. now, despite all this cases continued to rise, and according to savannah, and it's expected to get worse. so most image of the coven situation in moscow is steadily worsening. in a matter of days, the could be 1900 infection rate among moscow residence has risen from 3000 new cases a day to 7000. and according to preliminary data that will exceed 9000 tomorrow. this of course is a steep increase that we did not see even during the previous outbreaks would result in government officials are now considering reactive measures to try and quell this spike in cases one of those being that companies in the service industry

. like of taxis, car restaurants, could now have their workers who refuse to get backs unaided, be suspended and left without pay. and the restaurant themselves are now considering creating special zones for people who have gotten to vaccine. now obviously these measures are nowhere near as tripped as some of the stuff we saw last year, but nevertheless, many fear that this rise in cases these new strains of corona virus, could lead to another lockdown in the capital. however, officials have yet to comment on that possibility. to get through vance, or correspondent dmitri polk, the region of central italy wants to allow tourists who receive the russian sputnik re. colbert shot, to visit the mark. a province is urging the government to open up the entire country to such travelers. we heard from a local counselor who came up with the initiative commercial most everyone knows

the neighbor, san marino vaccination, nick, but we're not supposed to allow citizens of san really to into it's now our region tends to open up to continually 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. russia citizens on tourists, even if they vaccinated, cannot come to italy. and this is cause tremendous economic loss because actually attracts the loss of rushing towards each year. when it comes a week after the european parliament gave final approval to the new digital certificate scheme for coven 19, it includes data on p. c. r tests antibodies on vaccination, but only with shots approved by the european medicine's agency. so far the regulator has approved for vaccines. those don't include russian chinese or indian jobs market counsellor do. como rossi again sees it's become a highly politicized issue. much you should know, in my opinion,

this decision is close to political reasons and russia phobia. these are not medical reasons because the most student works and therefore it is probably a continuation and european union's policy towards the russian federation. i have absolutely no fear that we are protecting the interests of mar, k. e too often protects interesting the conflict with the interests of europe in citizen we 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 online for you right now, a petition has been launched to stop amazon ceo jeff phases from returning to earth . $12000.00 people have signed it, stating that faith is in fact, the lex luther or the billing from the super month period. and know that he's going on a test flight into space in july. they don't want to, you can read about that and other stories on our website artsy dot com

with 30 german soldiers has been recalled from duty, enlist you in, in, over allegations of anti semitic and disorderly behavior. the german defense minister has said they will be severely punished. the misconduct of from soldiers in with when he is a slip in the face to all his serv, from the german armed forces and uphold the security of our country. this ags damage the reputation of the armed forces and of the nation. they will be punished with for security. back in april, the troops who are reportedly caught making racist remarks and singing happy birthday to hitler. according to germany, one soldier was also filmed attempting to sexually assault another cases of misconduct by nato's soldiers are not unusual. earlier this month, 6 british service men were kicked off a train in the stony for drunken behavior. in april a u. s. army officer in poland went missing for

a day after his unit had too much to drink in an off limits strip club. well, let's dig a little bit deeper into this story. were political as chris bumper crestview to see you. these 30 german soldiers were, as i said, accused of singing healthy bertha to hitler. do you think it's the case of a few bad apples or could there be said netflix numbers of german troops with these viewpoints after this? fighting? will of course seem to rise to the far right in germany and the rise of my emigrant feelings. so i think this is not an unexceptional went across western europe. we have seen sections of the military become quite poetical in a right wing direction in france, making threats to assassinate reading french government ministers in spain, urging the bombing of capital linea in britain. we've already mentioned a similar similar instance. so what we're seeing here, i mean, obviously these german soldiers are no sense of history because, you know,

by praising adult hitler in this way and making the semitic remarks they were in went to india, which in 1941 was one of the 1st kelling fields in the developing whole course. so there's no awareness of what the historical legacy of all this is among them. but i think it's not surprising. i mean, in the military, of course, the general values tend to be one of nationalism. if nationalize is on the rise at home, the right or on the rise, then that will be reflected in the military as i say, that's been happening elsewhere in europe. as your report says, you mentioned the few any of the significance of the country was actually the worst effected nation, wasn't in the holocaust, some 95 percent of the jews there were killed much more than in germany or poland. with that in mind, you think lithuania should be more concerned about this? can we've heard no statement from them. i think they should be concerned about his guy. what is what just adding something. you know, that the killing is what kind of, not just by the s s,

but by the german army developed by phone marked. so, you know, there's this, i story called legacy. but of course, with doing govern once the royal way any stones either because unfortunately the was involvement as it was elsewhere in the baltic state. and they did the korean local non gentiles in the killing of jews in with you in your encouraged by the germans. so perhaps they don't want to make an issue of it because of the way you say they want to keep concealed will happen. and in those killing fields, in 1941. these trips are part of a nato contingent in the baltic, supposedly, as a deterrence against russia. so can moscow asleep, easier not knowing what it is up against? well, i do think the german army, particularly the russians, be aware of and the in europe as you know, western europe, the military budget has fallen in france and britain up. but i think the question is, is why all of those troops in with you area in a package where you were talking about mikhail gorbachev because garbage i was

promised at the soviet union came to an end that nature would not expand into the former soviet countries of eastern europe, but of course that promise has been broken. and we know seem to have a permanent military exercises taking place on russia's border, different points. and that is something which must concern russia. i'm sure something the fusion res mitchell bite in geneva today. there are countless other cases of nato troops being disciplined for drunk, disorderly behavior. we mentioned just a couple of them. do you get the sense that when they're stationed in allied nations, the just get too much time in their hon? i have too much time and i think the other reason as well, but with the area and much of eastern europe has become a place where brit brits germans, america is going to get drunk. you know, these are boots, we can. so i think the reason why the presence of chief alcohol is that

a factor in that? i mean, i know the brits don't hold a drink very, very well when they're abroad. so, you know, the instant you reports about the british sources on a train, know that your boozing on the train and then rack in this way. so i think the general question, what these took to do on the board of russia brought it also must be a question that the officer should be instilling into them the idea that he shouldn't be going jumping rampage. and they should not be so, as in the case of the german soldiers making sexual advisory sexual assault. indeed, on one of the few comrades clinical as chris bomb, re taken us through that. chris, thanks very much for your time and that takes us to the break, meaning some great programs get going in moment. find out what's an offer right ahead. ah

ah ah, welcome to the alex salmon show here at wembley stadium. many in english are basically has been realized. i'm many, a scottish home has been vast and tomato the latest chapter. an older international match in football will be played guides and older cyber rejoins once again. on every rational assessment, england rich reads of why the town should send them victoria england, where i woke up 75 and listen to signs in 18. and according to the talisman captain, heidi.
