7:01 am
to have received rushes of splitting agree shot. despite a lack of approval so far from the european medicines agency, i was regional counselor, spoke to us. we all 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 24 injured in southern rushes, crimea, province authorities declare a state of emergency of correspondence or reporting from that region. this is what some of the streets 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 and go on a canoe or something. i top stories of the day, the main headlines of a week. welcome to the weekly here,
7:02 am
we're naughty, international. i'm role research on wednesday, geneva, welcome to vitamin putin and joe biden, for their 1st face to face meeting as presidents. the russian and us leaders both describe the summit and positive terms put inside. he had no illusions about the relationship, the talks, lots of 3 and a half hours. and here's a quick recap of that big day. the the, i following the meeting, the new, the old lot new. they can't be any illusions at all by and sat in a russia by the way, that was a joke. well, let's take
7:03 am
a look at some of the key takeaways from that summit abiding and food and agreed to hold consultations on strategic stability and nuclear arms control. and they also discussed a possible prisoner exchanged and agreed to return their respective ambassadors to that post. now unfortunately, there was no real breakthrough on the issue of cyber security though they did agree to start regular consultations on that rather sensitive issue. as far as that goes without stumbling blocks, the 2 presidents raised concerns about human rights in each other's countries. they also failed to come up with any concrete action plan for ukraine. well, our team was in geneva following the summit for you. so here are some of the highlights long couple of 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,
7:04 am
looks like ties between the 2 countries are better today and really looks like the best you can hopefully were never gonna move mountains in terms of the problems that exist. but what we have seen is them say that they'll re 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 busted up 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 context, there wasn't somebody school remote points that wouldn't know when a prophy the job wasn't to get one out from someone else. 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
7:05 am
from you. but when you go through, but i do, mister, there was no hospitality on 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 atmosphere. both presidents have now left. we watched both aeroplanes fly away. we've actually got a pretty good view and it comes to plain spot. and i mean, i know the geneva runway, like no one else travel you controls got nothing on may. the lucian 96 isn't blowing. 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 several going mad on the on
7:06 am
the lake, the sunset over the lake just behind us here in geneva, city looking resplendent. it has been roasting hold off at ours long to say pathetic fantasy, absolutely perfect for the heated talks. and i think they probably walk heated by himself gave and that there were some things that he was not willing to negotiate through to moist. also, you know what, we have different views on this. we don't have to look to i, but we still have to protect our own people and protect global securities. now course, the best 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 president putin question himself. the be difficult questions that vladimir putin faced, that which joe barton had the good fortune to escape. what questions about the opposition that we have pointed out, the protesters and the rest of following the event in capitol hill that they face
7:07 am
as much as 25 years in jail. you 5 years in jail for a political protest. the year the 2 bodies had said that this new comparison to become a criminal but a leg saying the bony 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 alexi and yvonne and saying there's nothing in common with the nation. you just, you'll never 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? one of the things both leaders agreed on is to barger barton's words. they need to
7:08 am
be rules of the world. so that as a rule to how both countries should behave in case they come into this agreement over substitute the dispute, your outward conflict as resolve them as civilized partners. i will say freds is the thought, 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 one country gets away with doing something and the other doesn't go, bob, said fraser, who's quite disturbed live here. 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 rate, that was us, which is russia, is accused of being predictable. by the way, how is russia planning to j. vladimir putin?
7:09 am
smart was that when you should dirge, he's given us nearby with believe that russian foreign policy is unpredictable. will let me send the park back to you with us leaving the abm treaty in 2002 with absolutely unpredictable. what are they doing it for that 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 said the open sky treaty withdrawal. there's nothing stable about it and almost nothing left. thank god, in the field, a strategic capability, mr. by taking a completely adequate decision to prolong the new start treating for 5. but you know, if you take the situation with ukraine with crimea, that's where this all sounds right. what stable about into the qu, they, when the ex president you could reach to reduce all. ready the demands of the opposition. he was basically ready to abandon power, undeclared, new election in about 3 months that he knows the blood hills who was needed. legend
7:10 am
known consequences, southeast of the country, then crimea. and you think it's also predictably, no, i don't think so. what do we do at the end of the day? 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 is about laying a foundation on which russia and 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 work, joe biden says, we'll find out within the year whether looks he results from the, from all the tools from all the agreements and all 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
7:11 am
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 to mon, vladimir burton demand 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 biden, the us president saying though, while it was over record deal, it's unlikely 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 about, as i said to him, i said your generation and mine were about 10 years apart. this is not a combine 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
7:12 am
to be in a situation where we're in a new cold war, or despite the generally positive tone from both presidents, the american media apparently were not happy with the summit. they directed a bar, roger of negative comments at joe biden, accusing him of not being tough enough. and let me put in saying the russian president got everything he wanted. the russian leader for his part described his counterpart as a professional. you know, i'd like to say that the image of president biden, which the press in russia and even in america is drury 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,
7:13 am
you 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 in geneva, us late, it was fortunate enough to avoid tough questions from the media perhaps because no foreign outlets were actually present at is a press conference for whatever reason. the russian president was bombarded with questions from international journalists 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 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
7:14 am
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, 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 this is
7:15 am
on the international, the russian region of crimea has declared a state of emergency amid severe flooding which is left at least one person dead and 20 others injured. i'll be honest and almost 2000 people were evacuated from their homes. are eager to donald and reports from crimea. ah, with me. so this is what some of the streets here and y'all to 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,
7:16 am
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 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 or 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 door saved us. the rain was so strong by 6 o'clock, the water had reached its bank ceiling. i will call my son and we start to stop the water from entering our home. but nothing could stop it. we could only grab our documents and not fit, but we lost everything new the new picture, a disaster like this has never happened before. i hope no one will ever have to go through. what we did is the tragedy. was making our authorities to help us
7:17 am
to help the people, the emergency ministry and the army have had to join the efforts to deal with the aftermath of the flood least as a software that we are clearing the drainage system, removing debris from the flood. so the water drink 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. tiffany touchable debate and then was completely loaded. 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 still use. our children came to help us enough to give them a job and 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,
7:18 am
but obviously that will have to wait. now i'm again done a reporting from crimea c. i was told to come here when to national, amid the weekly lockdown rules have been extended in england by 4 weeks. and the spread of a new covert vary. and just a moment we get the reaction from lockdown, fatigued, london, as ah, ah, is your media a reflection of reality? the, in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for tyson lation, whole community. are you going the right way? where are you being somewhere? direct? what is truth?
7:19 am
his faith in a world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, ah ah, with the right now 20 pounds down here in moscow, the russian capital has now set a grim record and new covert infections are registering more than 9000 cases in 24
7:20 am
hours for 2 days straight new restrictions on being brought in, including limiting non emergency medical, careful and vaccinated patients picking up the store in our correspondent ilia, to try and go 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 is taken install on the russian capital, according to the mayor of moscow. almost 90 percent of the new infections in the city are the new delta variant, local goals, and 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
7:21 am
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 slow 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 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
7:22 am
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 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 nihilism. that is people failure to comply with restrictions, low vaccination rate, and the slight nature of the virus. in the meantime,
7:23 am
the existing anti covert measures in the rushing 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 owns 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 have received the russians. sputnik v covered shot to visit the motto, k provinces, over the government to open up the entire country to such travelers. and we heard
7:24 am
from the local counselor who actually came up with the initiative most everyone knows the effectiveness of scrutiny on neighbor san marina, who is vaccinated with nick, but we are not supposed to allow citizens of san marino to into italy. now our region intends to open up to continue welcoming russians and we want to maintain relations with russia. we are friends with russia, and we want to continue business in the tourism sector, russian citizens and tourists, even if the vaccinated cannot come to italy. and this is called tremendous economic loss because italy attracts the loss of russian tourists each year. it comes a week after the european parliament gave final approval to the new digital certificate scheme for over 19. it includes data on p. c. r tests antibodies on vaccination, but only for shots approved by the european madison's agency. so far the regulator has approved for vaccines, but they do not include the russian chinese or indian ones. giacomo rossi again
7:25 am
says it's become a highly politicized issue. much he showing all day, in my opinion, this decision is caused by 2 political reasons and rough phobia. these are not medical reasons because the only 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, that conflict with the interests of europe in citizen with a european citizens. but we are primarily residents of them are k. so we serve our interests, especially in such absurd situations. like the one we're talking about, england's long awaited lockdown easing has been pushed back by 4 weeks. cobit cases have been rising steadily since the thought of june, with more than 10000 new 10000 new infections, i should say, reported just on saturday. the new delta very and his portal is spreading rapidly
7:26 am
across england is deemed to be up to 80 percent more transmissible than the previous dominant strain. the prime minister says to lockdown extension will help for 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 will, to build top a very considerable wall of immunity around the whole of the population. the. well, that's why there was an in corona virus threat anti lockdown. protesters rallied near downing street in london on monday chanting: shame on you and demanding freedom. and so some people in the british capital told us that everyone to do that, that day in those 6 months from one to be really positive and gets backseat speculated. and then to be told that, you know,
7:27 am
4 weeks of things not being being opened. it is, it is very frustrating. it's who i like to come out with plenty of pen is now social distance ending going out and taking it for that thing is 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 the people sitting inside because no one knew about the discovery. and so no one knew hide could be. there are lots of people with businesses and things like that that really struggle and actually, especially in the country just or there are some top stories from the day i'm from the week here. when are you into national with this edition of the weekly return to about half an hour's time? it's been
7:28 am
a busy week for your worldwide headlines. more to come in about 32 minutes. ah . the one of the worst ever mass shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy a close a little live in real life vegas. where many say elected officials are controlled by casino, knows 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 remember that it happens. that just shows you the power of money and las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pen demick heard the most
7:29 am
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 facades conceal of deep indifference to the people the vice gonna been saved if they were to take an action. absolutely, keep the registering and keep the slot machines doing. this is a money machine is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost. he's really the fish gets that that's going to be okay, which i will give this guy you're going to sit with your dad. you see your dad
