about people's lives being lost, the me, the, the who's the us media lashes out. and joe bought in following the geneva summit saying he gave a lot of what he wanted and made america look weak ross, a leader that takes a very different views. but he's 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 rush summit over the board and president season it would make result with both sides pointing to the phone with all this, you've also agreeing to reinstate their buses. and the region of central italy was to be of the green light to tourists who received russia's vaccine to
8:01 pm
supply the lack of approval so far from the european americans agency. original. tell folks who will know sputnik works and therefore just to be a continuation of the european union policy towards the russian federation. ah, life from oscar. thanks for joining us at united national. i'm daniel who can review all tonight. welcome to the program of lot of putin has described in geneva with joe biden as constructive and without hostility, while as us counter bald call the positive. it was the 1st face to face meeting as president. that talks last that 3 and a half hours. the who's
8:02 pm
despite the generally positive tone from both the president, the american media aren't happy. over the past 24 hours, there's been an outpouring of negative coverage accusing joe barton of not being tough enough. he's caleb open has more on the story. 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
8:03 pm
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 biden'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 president putin's on wrestling bears riding tigers.
8:04 pm
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 president 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 him a great power, a worthy adversary, bright and tough, all of those flattery words to get him to respect. those were all this summer really in terms of whether it gets resolved as a gamble for joe biden. he doesn't know if his gamble of actually inviting people to 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 years afterwards, it was pretty clear that the biden was not afraid to bring up some rather prickly issues that were discussed stan afterwards. it became very clear that while the tone was respectful, it was a tense conversation. at some point now,
8:05 pm
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 was meant, if it's just, you know, i'd like to say that the image of president biden, which the pressing 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, when i fly, it throws me off balance and little. and yet he looked alert. i talked 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'll do that. and that image that is being drawn by the media kind of log you into a full sense of security. but there's no reason for that whatsoever. because button is a professional and you've got to be very careful with him in order not miss anything . he doesn't miss anything, i can assure you already. so it's long been said that american media thrives on
8:06 pm
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 on the white house as rejected. those criticisms of buying this performance at summit national security advisor james sullivan stated the us leader took on putting on a range of issues. at his use conference in geneva, the russian president was also challenged by international media. did you commit to stopping your crank down against the opposition groups inside russia led by election of electing of on him why? 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 navarro ne and
8:07 pm
a this. bloomberg whitehouse reporter jennifer jacobs. both on twitter about she heckling, putin and fantasize is 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 . and 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, put in 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 just. well, let's look now at some of the main takeaways from the summit, pardon and put an agreed to hold consultations on strategic stability and nuclear
8:08 pm
arms control. they also discussed a possible prisoner exchange. i'd also agree to return their respective ambassadors to each other's countries. now there was no breakthrough, unfortunately on cyber security. they did agree though, to start regular consultations on that issue. stumbling blocks course, there were a few. the 2 presidents raised concerns about human rights in each other's country . they also failed to come up with any concrete action plan for ukraine is rod garcia was the russell leaders, media conference of 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 . so that we 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 that the 2 buttons said that there's new comparison to because
8:09 pm
they're criminal, 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 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 they 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
8:10 pm
over something with a dispute, ill outright conflict, how to resolve them as a civilized partners. i would say fred, the talked to earlier, 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 that caused quite disturb live. 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 in this rate, that was us. russia is accused of being predictable. by the way. how is russia planning to change? here, vladimir putin onto smartgate. was that when you should, 3rd story, he's given us nearby. you said the whiskey leaves 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
8:11 pm
they doing? it for that's 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 qu, they talk when the ex president, yanna covey agreed to all the demands of the opposition. he was basically ready to abandon power, declare new elections in about 3 months. notice the blood filled qu was needed that lead to known consequences. the southeast of the country than crimea. and you think it's us who predictably, no, i don't think so. at the end of the day,
8:12 pm
what happened here in geneva, this 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 worked through a button says we'll find out within the year whether we'll see results from, from all the tool for movie a grievance for the criticism the both sides had for each other. but the message is that preliminary, it was successful. a lot of interest always focusing on lead is interaction and the body language shot such summits. we go to an experts opinion for their view on this topic. the
8:13 pm
new building you wanna use. 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 sides 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 you're going to wait, or your advisor 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 met. that was very interesting. in that donald trump
8:14 pm
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 the contrast between the 2 feet and who's, who's been around a long time and very sees. and in this regard, you could see the 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. ah, ah,
8:15 pm
the matter, moscow has voiced his alarm. i bro, dramatic spike in coven infections here in the russian capital. ok, so been in, says daily cases have risen threefold, in just a few days. he's urging people to get vaccinated. our correspondent dmitri power takes up a story. russian authorities are indeed in a tough spot right now. corona virus cases in russia and moscow specifically are once again rising and reaching levels recorded back in february. now, among the reasons behind the spike, according to authorities, might be new strains of corona virus. and specifically the new delta various which originated in india being singled out as one of the most dangerous and the last 2 weeks. but however, the booting vaccine, which is one of the more popular vaccines distributed in russia, has been shown to be quite effective against this delta strain. but despite that
8:16 pm
cases are rapidly growing. and in response to this growth moscow mayers produce a bad and announce last week that this whole week would be an extended holiday under the condition that stores restaurants, other public venues would close after 11 pm. and that employers in the service industry would ensure that 60 percent of their workers were vaccinated. however, despite these measures, cases continued to grow. and according to sergei, civilian is expected to get worse. so most of the coven situation in moscow is steadily worsening. in a matter of days, the could be 19 infection rate among moscow residence has risen from 3000 new cases a day to 7000. and according to preliminary data, that big will exceed 9000 tomorrow. this of course, is a steep increase that we did not see even during the previous outbreaks. government
8:17 pm
officials are now considering reactive measures to try and quell this spike in cases one of those being that companies in the service industry. taxis, restaurants could now be allowed to have their workers who refuse vaccination, be suspended, and left without pay. and the restaurants themselves are now considering creating separate zones for bull who have received vaccination. but obviously these measures are nowhere as strict as the ones we saw last here. however, people are still concerned, especially with the rise in cases and the new colored strain that there might be another lockdown in the capital. however, city officials have neither confirmed nor denied another lockdown, but have suggested that new stricter measures would be introduced for a limited time. illegal, margaret again flung italian islands, local officials again the you to help please brussels listening. laurel,

8:19 pm
me the the, the, the, the organ max, the program, a region of central italy wants to an outsource the received the russian sport and vaccine to visit. the more k province is the government to open up the entire country to such travelers from a local counselor who came up with the initiative. most everyone knows the effectiveness of scrutiny on neighbor san marino who's vaccinated with nick, but we're not even supposed to allow citizens of san marino to into italy. now, our region tends to open up to continue welcoming russians and we want to maintain
8:20 pm
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 called tremendous economic loss because italy attracts the loss of russian tourists each year. has come a week after the europe ian parliament gave final approval to the new digital certificate scheme for covered 19 and includes data on p. c. r t. s antibodies and 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. so komodo see again says it's become a high politicized issue. much he show no day in my opinion. his decision is caused by political reasons and rough phobia. these are not medical reasons because he almost student works and therefore it is probably a continuation of european union's policy towards the russian federation. i have

absolutely no fear that we are protecting the interests of mar, k, e to often protects interests. the conflicts with the interests of europe in citizen with 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 the stuff amazon c o. jeff bezos from returning to earth. 12000 people so far side it's claiming there's also using the fact lex luther, that's the villain from a superman series. now that he's going on a test slide into place in july 8 and don't want to see him back. you can read about that on other stories on our website policy dot com, who's going back to italy now for more news where there's been a dramatic influx of margaret on the island of love producer. on tuesday alone, more than 700 people made the crossing from north africa and small both local mass

as a 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 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, significant spike and you come a full and producer where refugee shelters only have capacity for around 250 people
8:23 pm
. so far this year, more than $16000.00 larger troughing through italy, 3 times the total of 2021 total amount of fellow again accuses the you of failing to help michelin european union is doing absolutely nothing about economic migrants. europe talks about refugees, but economic migrants arrive and lam, 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, nothing. the newspapers, it's easy to talk and do nothing. this is just propaganda. there are no concrete facts solving talks and can't do anything else. and he speaks in the newspapers. we should do more from a political point of view. 30 german soldiers have been recalls of from duty lithuania allegations of anti semitic and disorderly behaviour. the german defense

minister has said they will be severely punished. the misconduct of some soldiers in with when he slept in the face to all his serv, from the german armed forces and uphold the security of our country. this ag damaged the reputation of the armed forces and of the nation. they will be punished with false severity. back in april, the troops were quarterly court making racist remarks on singing, happy birthday to hitler. according to german media, one soldier was also filmed attempting to sexually assault another cases of misconduct wanted her soldiers are not unusual. this month, 6 british service men were kicked off a train and estonia for drunken behavior. political analysts, christ, bamberg thinks later, troops station than eastern europe often act like have you drinking source. their presence in the region can do more harm than good. i have too much time and i think the other reason as well that with too much of eastern europe has become
8:25 pm
a place where britain brits germans, america is going to get drunk, you know, and these are boost cane. 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 the drink very, very well when they're abroad. so, you know, the instant you report about the british soldiers on a train know that you are boozing on the train, and then racks in this way. i think the presence of western troops in these areas, under constant military exercises, which seem to go on in the baltic states along russia's wars and talk in else. well, all of that is provocative and the time when surely, given today's talk was the platinum pieces jewel by the in geneva. we should be building and getting more based on rather than compensation for boom bust coming away. i just a few moments time we were starting off and out with the latest join us again, the me,

8:27 pm
the who's the this is and i so, and visit show you can't afford to miss. i'm rachel loven's in washington coming up . the world thing is refusing to help el salvador,
8:28 pm
implement bitcoin as an alternative to the u. s. dollar claiming it has environmental concern. will discuss slot market react to the federal reserve plan to raise interest rate sooner than expected, but will be soon enough to as inflation takes a whole on the overall recovery. then china, 3 astronaut, to its own self to those base station for the 1st time ever. so what does this mean for the international race and where does the u. s stand? we have a lot to get to. so let's get started. following a landmark decision to adopt bitcoin as a legal currency, all salvador is seeking technical assistance to make it a vision, a reality. the country has already responded to pressure from the international monetary fund by saying the goal isn't to replace the existence of the us dollar, but to allow a parallel alternative. however, the world bank is already saying it has no plans to provide assistance. as
8:29 pm
mcpherson confirmed, that hope was requested, but so the world bank cannot one support given the quote, environmental and transparency shortcomings of bitcoin as a currency. so joining me now to discuss the latest or do not show host an crypto analyst bend on and christy i. ben, let's start with you here. so why has the world bank been so quick to say that it won't provide any assistance in implementing bitcoin as a currency? yeah, i think the answer that is pretty simple because the world bank is a corrupt institution. and i love the fact that the world bank comes out and says he cannot help el salvador to adopt bitcoin as legal tender and provide any kind of support because of 2 concerns. number one is transparency. and number 2, our environmental concerns. i break both these down for you real quick, transparency that is laughable. we should all be laughing out loud at the idea that the world bank thinks that bitcoin, it has transparency issues, which of course,
8:30 pm
bitcoin and all crypto currencies are built on trust list systems. what does trust look mean? it means you don't have to trust because everything is on a error proof unforgivable ledger that allows the public to be able to see whatever is going on. meaning that you don't have to trust that coin, you can view every transaction for yourself. you know exactly what's happening with it. there's a fixed monetary supply of big coin. there is no playing with big coin in the way that i don't know. maybe currencies are played with all the time, the way that the world bank, the way the b i m f, the way the federal reserve bank toys with money toys with economy. so give me a break. transparency that is laughable. the 2nd issue is energy consumption, because oh no, the world bank cares so much about the environment. i will show you this chart if we have this chart that we can pull up because it really kind of demonstrates for you the annual energy consumption in terra watt hours.
