so you should be seeing and hearing a whole lot more than you're saying, if you don't take that advice, usually going to dig yourself a hole in the in this week, some stories the 1st to us, russia, some of the biden presidency in geneva. see, so i did my food and, and joe biden agreed to return the respective ambassadors to the post in the future . and also as caution about the post summit, bilateral time i have no illusion following the meeting, neither old nor new. there can't be any illusions at all. nothing is moscow said grim record is the daily number of covey 19 cases, souls to an old time hide. it matters in the raft of new measures under
2:01 am
region of central italy gives the green light to tourists to receive dresses splitting the shoulders, despite a lack of approval so far from the european medicines agency, a regional counselor spoke to our team will know what works and therefore, just probably be a continuation of the european union policy towards the russian federation. ah . hi there. good morning, great. have you with us. this is auntie. on wednesday, geneva, welcome, let me put in and joe biden for that 1st face to face meeting is presidents. the russian and newest lead is both described the summit in positive terms, the food and said he had no illusions about the relationship with washington. after the meeting talks less than 3 and a half hours, he's a quick recap of the big day the
2:02 am
the region following the meeting, new, the old or new. that can't be any illusions at all by and sat in a russia. by the way, that was a joke. well, let's take a look at some key takeaways from the summit biden and putin agreed to hold consultations on strategic stability and nuclear arms control. they also discussed the possible prisoner exchange and agreed to return their respective ambassadors to the post was no breakthrough on cybersecurity. however, they agreed to start regular consultations on the issue of stumbling blocks. the 2
2:03 am
presidents raised concerns about human rights in each of those countries. they also failed to come up with any concrete action plan for you, cried our team for our team was in geneva the following. the summit here are the highlights weeks. i little dot high school that falls around. of course, the big russia us summit was building. now it's over don, president, fight, and president putin. they sat down. they talked 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, hopefully would never going to move mountains in terms of the problems that exist. but what we have seen is 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 but the best in washington us, some of that back in moscow. the very basics of diplomacy when it comes to just how
2:04 am
they viewed one another. 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 a person saying that it wasn't again, it wasn't context, the wasn't somebody school remote point that we don't know when a prophy job wasn't to get one or someone out. it was sent pete to become and just been 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 had from the year. but when you go deep in this day and there was no hospitality from the country meeting was very constructive. our views differ on many issues, but i believe both sides have shown a willingness to understand each other and to bring 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
2:05 am
a hyperbolic you atmosphere. both presidents have now left. we watched both aeroplanes fly away. we've actually had a pretty good view and it comes to plain spot. i mean, i know the geneva runway, like no one else travel, you controls nothing on may. lucian 96 as imposing. busy 747, therefore i can see them from about 10 kilometers away out of new stream. but actually the security has been something so note, but for the soldiers we saw the police. we saw the boat going mad on the lake, the sunset over the lake just behind to see your engine, even city looking resplendent. it has been roasting home. but i want to say it's pathetic fantasy absolutely perfect for the heated tubes and i think they probably walk heated by himself, gave an unclean that there were some things that he was not willing to negotiate. please moist also that 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
2:06 am
security. now course the best pass and place to tell us everything about especially president putin's press conference, was more at godaddy, who himself was literally in the hall. i believe he's got a chance to off president putin, a question himself, the be difficult questions that's vladimir putin face, that which job button had the good fortune to escape? what questions about the opposition? so that we have pointed out that the protesters rest of following the event on capitol hill that they face as much as 25 years in jail. like you 5 years in jail, for a political proto, the year due by the said that there's new comparison to because they're criminal, but lex 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. he says that, you know, americans are comparing what happened the capitol hill to the treatment of elected
2:07 am
yvonne and saying there's nothing in common with the nation. you just, you know, by building on non systemic opposition. and the citizen you've mentioned, this person knew full well that he was violating russian law. and he knew full well, 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 here? and one of the things both leaders agreed on is to borrow job buttons, words 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 over something that the dispute your outright conflicts at resolve them as a civilized partners. i would say present thought 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 of one country
2:08 am
gets away with doing something and the other doesn't feel bad and said phrase that who's quite disturb live here. who said, how would the united states feel if it was she'd by the rest of the world as meddling in for an election? which much of the world sees the united states as do it. but in this rate, that meant to us. russia is accused of being predictable. by the way. how is russia planning to change? here, vladimir putin smart was going to know that when she told story, she's given your name. when you say the with believe 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 are 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,
2:09 am
there's nothing stable about it and almost nothing left. thank god, in the field, the strategic stability, mr. by taking a completely adequate decision to prolong the new start treaty for 5 years. and you know, if you take the situation with ukraine with crimea, that's where this all sounds right. what they will about endorsing the qu, they talk when the ex president, yanna covey agreed, with all the demands of the opposition. he was basically ready to abandon power declared new election. in about 3 months. they moved the blood hills who was needed that lead to known consequences southeast of the country, then crimea. and you think it predictably, no, i don't think so. what do we get 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,
2:10 am
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 of there, there in taxes, whether it worked. joe biden says, we'll find out within the year. but let's see results from the, from all the tool for movie a grievance for the criticism that both sides had for each other. but the message is, the preliminary. it was successful that he spent the day in the villa where those talks were taking place. 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 demand, glad to meet the man when they agreed on things that they could cooperate on. they talked about those when they disagree. they made sure that both of their points
2:11 am
were made as forcefully as they could. joe biden, the us president saying though, while it was over a record deal, it's likely 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 or the united states. i don't think it's true, but as i said to him, i said your generation of mind about 10 years apart, this is not a come by our moment is used to say back in the sixty's and united states like less hug and love each other. but it's clearly not in anybody's interest. your countries are mine for us to be in a situation where we're in a new cold war or spartley, generally positive tone coming from both presidents. the u. s. media apparently weren't happy with that summit. they directed up arrows of negative comments, a job by an accusing of not being tough enough with him if he didn't say the russian president got what he wanted. the russian lead of his part describe his counterpart as a professional difference. just, you know,
2:12 am
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 that is being drawn by the media kind of low view into a full sense of security. but there's no reason for that whatsoever. because 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 susan, engineer for the u. s. lead, it was fortunate enough to avoid tough questions from the media perhaps because no foreign outlets were present to this press conference. the russian president knows bon bonded. we challenged questions from international journalist up to the meeting . did you commit to stopping your crank down against the opposition groups inside
2:13 am
russia led by election of owners, electing yvonne him? why? 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 bite and 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. 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,
2:14 am
managing opposition, figures. and so when these reporters were badgering, recruiting about nevada, the 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 a movement of insurrection is ah, the russian region of cry me is declared the state to the emergency, amid severe flooding that is left at least one person dead, and 24 injured. almost 2000 people have been evacuated from their homes in this donna has more from crime in the with me.
2:15 am
so this is what some of the street here and y'all look like right now. i mean, you can hardly call it even a street. you could probably take on the store until on a canoe or something. i mean, just walking around here is already a challenge. it's a challenge to keep your balance alone. in fact, on top of that, i can feel large, bold as every once in a while hitting my feet and legs. now speaking of the st. well, the ground floor of the residential buildings here go on. there are no more and this is obviously hugely distressing to the locals. so this is where the army and the emergency workers have focused their efforts right now. in 2016, this man's house was destroyed by fire. so we families started from scratch. the final touches had been made just days before the flood hit. it all happened all too fast. oh yes, a bucket. i have
2:16 am
a dog and it's not to dr. strangely at 4 30 in the morning. so i took it outside my door saved us, the rain was so strong by 6 o'clock, the water had reached its banks. i will call my son and we started to stop the water from entering our home. but nothing could stop it. we could only grab our documents and not fit. we lost everything. you could show a disaster like this has never happened before. i hope no one will ever have to go through what we did. it's the tragedy was making our authorities to help us to help the people, the emergency ministry and the army have had to join the efforts to deal with the aftermath of the flood. as a software, we are clearing the drainage system, removing debris from the flood. so the water drinks away more quickly, efforts are aided by volunteers. in this school, even the little ones have come out to help to the best of their ability. stephanie touchable, the basement was completely flooded,
2:17 am
rescue work is pumped out the water, and we scooped out the silt and mont. now we are taken out the furniture to see what we can to use. our children came to help asking us to give them a job. they carry out toys, we gave them simple jobs. so this is what a beach here normally looks like this time a year. but this is what it actually looks like right now. it was supposed to be the beginning of a high to receive and, but obviously that will have to wait. now. i'm again done, reporting from crimea, etc. so the gun lockdown rules have been extended in england. but for weeks, amid the rapids spread, if a new coven variance will be getting reaction from people in the conservative republicans near cones will use against biden the
2:18 am
same tactics that republicans had to see common from democrats after consume. so they would deck, used by, you know, for being too soft, indecisive, of, electronically, agenda. not tough enough with who to definitely but they will try to sabotage some of the agreements that have been reached. geneva. ah, so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy for cation let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. developments only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,
2:19 am
very critical time time to sit down and talk the welcome back moskos, where just a day daily record. and you covert infections on saturday clocked up more than 9000 cases in just 24 hours. that for the 2nd day straight you restrictions and being brought in, including limiting non emergency medical care for unvaccinated patients are usually patricia has the story less than 2 weeks ago. the numbers in moscow were plus $2900.00 cases. and there you have it. this friday and new sad record of more than plus $9000.00 in a whole country like mexico for example. this figure is 2 times smaller. so what is going on? it looks like the new delta vary and which are recreate with an is taken install on
2:20 am
the russian capital. according to the mayor of moscow. almost 90 percent of the new infections in the city are the new delta variance. and because also we're going to see them, the delta strain spreads foster, and the worst thing about it is that the person needs strong immunity twice as many anti bodies to resist compared to the original hand viruses. so essentially we're going through the same thing again, but with more severe consequences, the government has come to the understanding that the pace of the vaccination has been very though and now they are rushing to change that. now here's one of the ground breaking decisions, introduced by the medical authorities and the washing capital. in moscow, free non essential care in the hospitals will only be provided for those who have been vaccinated. everyone will still get the emergency treatment if it's required.
2:21 am
if you are a patient with cancer or with blood diseases, you will still get all the necessary treatment. but in other cases for non essential care, like i said, a jab will be required. patients have a weekend immune system for them could be 19, is especially dangerous. it is impossible to avoid all contact with them or to isolate them. all those who can have the job for special reasons will still be admitted to hospital and emergency medical care will be provided with exception to everybody, regardless of vaccination status. i campaign in the city to promote booster jabs will also begin in the near future. the moscow's mayor office announced mandatory vaccination for 60 percent of the staff in the service sector, so it looks like the russian capital is bracing itself for nothing less but a real vaccination boom. when the bladder approved his press secretary dmitri
2:22 am
passcode was asked about what the kremlin makes of the new spikes and the measures . here's what the spokesperson replied. don't get even worse. and he tuition is due to 3 things, the absolute nihilism. that is people failure to comply with restrictions, low vaccination rate, and the slight nature of the virus. in the meantime, the existing anti cove measures in the russian capital have been extended till the end of june, namely, the closure of bars, restaurants and clubs during the night. and also a 3rd of staff members being required to work from home. in addition to that, the moscow mayor's office has also bad mass gatherings of over 1000 people. besides this dance floors and football fans, those will also have to be shut down for now. once again, i'd like to point out that so far, these are the measures that have been announced for the washing capital. this isn't on a federal level just yet, but we have received
2:23 am
a warning from the authorities that all of this could be extended to other regions of russia if that is required. so this is a possibility in the near future as well. region of central literally wants to allow the tourist who received the russians, putting the covey shot to visit the mark a province is urging the government to open up the entire country to search travelers we heard from the 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 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, tourists, even if the vaccinated cannot come to italy. and this is cause tremendous economic loss because italy attracts the loss of russian tourists each year. now this comes
2:24 am
a week after the european parliament gave final approval to the new digital certificate scheme for over 19 that includes data on p c. r, test antibodies and vaccination, but only for shots approved by the european medicines agency. so far, the regulators approved just for vaccines does not include the russian chinese or indian jobs. she co rossi again says this is become a highly politicized issue. much he should know my opinion. the decision is cost like political reasons, and these are not medical reasons because he was and therefore it is probably a continuation of european union's policy towards the russian federation. i have absolutely no sir, that we are protecting the interest of mar, k, e to often protect interest in the conflict with the interests in europe in citizen european citizens. but we are primarily residents of marketing. we serve our interests, especially in such absurd situations. like the one we're talking about,
2:25 am
england's long awaited locked down e think has been pushed back by 4 weeks. kevin cases have been rising steadily since the sort of chain with more than 10000 new infections reported on saturday. the new delta variant is spreading rapidly across england is deemed to be up to 80 percent more transmissible than the previous dominance strain. the pm says, look down extension will help reverse the deteriorating situation for we delay. we think would make even more of a difference in reducing the overall number of, of deaths. and that's why we're, that's why we're doing it. and at the end of that period of by, by july the 19th, we do think that we will to build top a very considerable wall of immunity around the whole of the population. i found the worsening through the forest threats and he looked down,
2:26 am
protesters rallied me down the street in london on monday, the nat chanting shame on you and also demanding freedom. here's what some people in the biggest capital told us by everyone to do that that day. and those 6 months from one to be really positive and, and gets backseat speculated. and then to be told that you know, 4 weeks of things, not being no being i've been it is it is very frustrating. it to, i like to come out with plenty of pen is now social distance, sending going out and taking it. i think it's a great idea to try and get them get more people's like i don't agree with closing for the 4 weeks. so delaying everything because maybe they could have done something before lights trying not to open too quick. 2 people sitting inside
2:27 am
because no one knew about the discovery. and so no one knew, hired to be. there are lots of people with businesses and things like that that really struggle next fully, especially in the country, just like okay, you all right, today we have more news stories over our website. you can check them out and you don't call me the ah, do you guys actually got an uncovered face? men's clothing and shoulder, whole stuck. it's
2:28 am
a kind of afghan feminism. but it's name is camina. ah, well above put a human level, some of the whole model that of us is, was a little of up up on the job. but you know, the ones that gave me she lives in one of the most dangerous and patriarchal provinces of afghanistan, cost when she was time, i'm not sure what i shall do, the average that update it. anyway, i'm glad you got the notes that she does. her best to fight for women's rights. i am. i wonder what you got. donors. you know what i do? i know that the season here by her nickname, the king, who was gonna call much other than it was really a good one day
2:29 am
i . i me the me ah hello and welcome to all the cards. the politics is still primarily the reality of alpha males, especially when it comes to interaction in russia and the united states with thousands of nuclear ship rockets pointed at one another. with this week's bilateral assignment in geneva, logic put in, and joseph biden seems to have, who'd be march your politics aside and even agreed that they bear the
2:30 am
responsibility for managing the relationship between the countries. how long will this commitment? last, what we discussed that i'm now joined by i'm the person, the director general of the russian international affairs council. mr. cord. nothing great to see you again. thank you for talking john. welcome. now you've been following the, you are still in the us russian relationship since the very beginning of your career. i'm sure you've seen quite a number of such leaders. some of that can be cold war days. they've dealt literally with the fate of the world. i don't think that could be sad about the junior meeting, although i think there was also a little bit of this history in been making by kids. how do you assess it's significant the significance of these interactions in the grounds chemo things? well i think it's fair to say that in the relations between mosca and washington.
