took a personal opinion was that was on the sure stuff, please. ah, ah, in this week still it was stories. the 1st us rushed us of it, of the by the presidency in geneva. see, so the mate, putin and joe biden agreed to return their respective ambassadors to the post. and also as caution about the post summit, bilateral tide. i have no illusions following the meeting. the old law knew that can't be any illusion is at all. moscow says a grim record as a daily number of covey, 900 cases, souls to an all time high. the city's merit sent out the raft of new measures in the region of central italy gives the green light source to received russia. splitting the v shots. despite the lack of approval so far from the european

medicines agency, regional counselor spoke to our team. we will know what works and therefore just probably a continuation of the european union policy towards the russian federation. devastating floods leave one person dead to missing and 24 injured in, southern rushes, crimea province to declare a state of emergency correspondences in the region. 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 and go on a canoe or something. the news got the big stories of the week for you watching the weekly here on our t. moving 1st wednesday when geneva welcomed bloody amid

putin and joe biden, for the 1st face to face meeting is presidents. the russian and us leaders both discard the summit. him positive terms, though putin said he had no illusions about the relationship with washington. after the meeting talks less than 3 and a half hours is a quick recap. the the, i have no illusions following the meeting. these are old or new. that can't be any illusions at all by and said he didn't bay russia. by the way, that was a joke. ok, let's take

a look at some key takeaways from the summit by the pay to integrate the whole consultations on strategic stability and nuclear arms control. they discussed the possible prisoner exchange and agree to return their respective ambassadors to the post. there was no breakthrough on cybersecurity, though they agreed to start regular consultations on the issue. that's a stumbling blocks. the 2 presidents raised concerns about human rights in the others, countries. they also failed to come up with a concrete action plan for you crime. our team was in geneva following the summit. here are the highlights. a long couple weeks i'll hold on high. i'll go 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, i'm really the bottom line is look like ties between the 2 countries are better today and really looks like the best you can. hopefully we're 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 number in washington us some of that back in moscow. the very basics of diplomacy when it comes to just how 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. content wasn't somebody, school remote points that we don't know when a profi, the 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 heard from your billing group. mister, 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 up different positions close together. there wasn't any, any strident action taken, or we disagreed. i disagree, stated where it was where he disagreed, he stated. but it was not done in a hyperbolic you atmosphere. both presidents have now left, 3 watched both aeroplanes fly away. we've actually got a pretty good view and it comes to plain spot. i mean, i know the geneva runway, like no one else travel you controls gotten nothing on may. lucian 96 isn't boeing . busy 74 seven's air force. well now i can see them from about 10 kilometers away out of new stream. but actually the security has been something so note for the soldiers, we saw the police, we saw the boat, so we're going mad on the, on the lake, the sunset over the lake, just behind us, your engine, even city, looking resplendent. it has been roasting, but i want to say it's pathetic fantasy absolutely perfect for the heated tools.

and i think they probably walk heated biting himself, gave and, and that there were some things that he was not willing to negotiate. personally. also, you know what, we have different views on this. we don't have to look i to i but we still have to protect our own people and protect global security. now course the best pass and place to tell us everything about especially president putin's press conference, was where i got the up, who himself was literally in the hall. i believe he's got a chance to all president putin. a question himself, the be difficult questions that's vladimir putin face, that which joe barton had the good fortune to escape. what questions about the opposition? vladimir putin pointed out the protesters and the rest of following the event in capitol hill that they faced as much as 25 years in jail for the 5 years in jail, for a political protest. the 2 bodies had said that this new comparison to because the

criminal but elected the bomb 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 do, americans and all comparing what happened the capitol hill to the treatment of election, yvonne and saying there's nothing in common before the nation is just, you know, by going 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 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 here, madam, one of the things both leaders agreed on is to barger buttons, was they need to be rules of the road. so that as a rule to how booth countries should behave in case they come into this agreement

over something that the dispute your outward conflict as resolve them as a civilized partners. i would say fred's thoughts, but they need a framework of how to behave. and so that to happen, groups, countries need to be held equally accountable. it wouldn't do of one country gets away with doing something and the other doesn't feel body said phrase the who's quite disturb live. and he said, how would the united states feel if it was she by the rest of the world as meddling for an election? which much of the world sees the united states, i'll do it. but in this rate, that was us, which is russia, is accused of being predictable. by the way, how is russia planning to j live smart. so that when you should 3rd story, he's given your name by the way, believe that russian foreign policy is unpredictable. will 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 2019. there's nothing stable about that said the open sky treaty withdrawal has nothing stable about it and almost nothing left. thank god, in the field, a strategic ability, mr. by taking a completely adequate decision to prolong the news, don't treat for 5 years. if you take the situation with ukraine with crimea, that's where this all sounds right. what they will about inducing the crew. they thought when the ex president yanna courage to reduce all the demands of the opposition, he was basically ready to abandon power, undeclared, new election in about 3 months. no of the blood hills who was needed, lead to known consequences got out of the country than crimea. and you think it out

to? predictably, no, i don't think so. what do we do at the end of the day? what happened here in geneva? these 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 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 from all the agreements for the criticism the both sides had for each other. but the message is that preliminary, it was successful. i got to spend the day in the villa where those talks were taking place. this was billed as a heavyweight clash of the titans. perhaps we weren't expecting any major results,

but certainly flocking much between 2 political, big guns. what they did say, both of them was that they talk to not just proven the president biden, the president, but joe biden demand glad to meet the money 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 were made as forcefully as they could. joe, by the us president saying though, while it was over record, 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 with united states. i don't think it's about, as i said to him, i said your generation of mine are about 10 years apart. this is not a could by moment is used to say back in the sixty's and united states like less huggy love each other, but it's clearly not in anybody's interest. your countries are mine for us to be in a situation where we're in a new cold war spot generally positive tone coming from both presidents the us made

here apparently weren't happy with the summit. de directed by raja negative comments, joe biden and accused him of not being tough enough for the mid to to same the russian president got what he wanted. the russian lead of for his part described his counterpart as a professional. we're going to go, 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 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 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. in geneva, the u. s. leader was fortunate enough to avoid tough questions from the media perhaps because no for analysis were present to the press conference. the russian president, though, is bombarded with challenging questions from international journalist after the meeting. did you commit to stopping your crank down against the opposition groups inside russia led by election of electing yvonne him? why? why are young people not allowed to protest in russia? what the but way press core does is 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. while 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 couldn't about nevada, 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 d a. r g a the russian region of tri mit declared a state of emergency after severe. busy flooding which is left at least one person

dead and $24.00 others injured. almost 2000 people have been evacuated from their homes. are the biggest on triples from crime in the the news. ah, so this is what some of the street here and you also 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 boulders every once in a while, hitting my feet and legs. now, speaking of the st, well, the ground floor of the residential buildings here are gone. there are no more. and this is obviously hugely distressing to the locals. so this is where the army and

the emergency workers have focus 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 a dog and he started acting strangely at 4 30 in the morning. so i took it outside . my dog saved us. the rain was so strong by 6 o'clock, the water had reached its banks. i woke up my son and we started to stop the water from entering our home, but nothing could stop it. we could only go about documents and not fit. we lost everything. you could shoot a disaster like this has never happened before. i hope no will ever have to go through what we did. it's a tragedy. why was taking our authorities to help us to help the people, the emergency ministry and the army have had to join their 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 drain away more quickly. their efforts are aided by volunteers. in this school, even the little ones have come out to help to the best of their ability. tiffany. festivals at the base was completely nodded. rescue work is pumped out the water, and it was cooked out the silt and mont. now we are taken out the furniture to see what we can still use. with children, came to help asking us to give them a job. carried 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 a good done of reporting from crimea c. still to come this, our lock down rules have been extended in england by 4 weeks. submit the rapid

spread of a new cove at variance will be getting reaction from london us after the break. the conservative republicans near cones will use against by doing the same tactics that republicans had to see common from democrats after come think so they would accuse, bite him for being too solved indecisive, of electronically agenda not off enough with who to definitely they will try to sabotage, some of the agreements that have been reached, geneva, ah,

join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me the, the me ah, welcome back. moscow said a grim record in new cove infections registering more than 9000 cases in just 24 hours for 2 days straight new restrictions and being brought in, including limiting non emergency medical care for unvaccinated patience. 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, a 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 varian, which are rigorous, when is taken install on the washing 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 resistance 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. if you are a patient with the 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 900, 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 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 denial is that if 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 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. a region of central italy wants to allow tourists who received the russians, putting the v 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 is vaccinated 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, tourists, even if the vaccinated cannot come to italy. and this is cause tremendous economic loss because it's really attract the loss of russian tourists each year. that comes a week after the p and parliament gave final approval to the new digital certificate scheme for over 19. it includes data on p c, r test antibodies. and vaccination, but only the shots approved by the european medicines agency. so far, the regulators approved for vaccines. these do not include the russian chinese or indian jobs. tacoma, ross again says it's become a highly politicized issue. much you should know, in my opinion, this decision is caused by 2 political reasons and russia phobia. these are not medical reasons because the only 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 interests that conflicts with the interest in the european 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, england's longer waited lockdown easing has been pushed back by 4 weeks. cobra cases have been rising steadily since the start of june with more than 10000 new infections reported on saturday. the new delta various spreading rapidly across england has seemed to be up to 80 percent more transmissible than the previous dominant strain. the problem is, this is the lockdown extension, will help reverse the deteriorating situation. 4 week 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 would have bill top a very considerable wall of immunity around the whole of the population. the spot in the worsening corona, virus spread and t long down process. this rallied near down the street in london on monday, chanting shame on you and demanding freedom. and so some people in the british capital tells everyone to do that, that day in those 6 months from one to be really positive and gets vaccines speculated. and then to be told that, you know, 4 weeks of things not being being opened. it is, it is very frustrating. it's too late to come out with plenty of pen is now social distance ending going been taken. 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 to people teaching inside because no one knew about the discovery. and so now when you are hired to be there are lots of people with businesses and things like that, that really struggle and actually in the country just okay, brings up so that that's all for now. but if you would like to find out more on that this week's biggest stores, you can check them out on our website. go to ocoee dot com. mm. the

one of the worst ever mass shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy a close a little of the real last vegas, where many say elected officials are controlled by casino loaners. the dangerous shooting revealed what? the l v m p d really is. and now it's part of the stand machine. to the american public barely remembers that it happens, but just shows you the power of money in las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pandemic had the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades. and then you have a mayor who doesn't care. so here's caroline goodman, offering the lives of the biggest residents to be the control group, to the shiny facade concealer deep indifference to the people the vice could have been saved if they were to take an action. absolutely, keep the registering and keep the slot machines doing they use as a money machine. it's a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives

being lost. ah me. the me i learned welcome to, well, the current 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 while actual summit in geneva put in and joseph biden seems to how it would be much your politics aside and even agreed that they bear the responsibility for managing the

relationship between the countries. how long will this commitment last, what the discount that i'm now joined by on the person, the director general of the russian international affairs council, mr. cord. nothing's great to see you again. thank you for talking john, welcome. now you've been following b, you are still in the us russian relationship since the very beginning of your analytical 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 the making by kids. how do you assess is significant the significance of these interactions in the ground came of things? well i think that it's.
