8:02 am
weekly it's anti international life for most on wednesday, geneva, welcome to let me put in and joe biden for that 1st face to face meeting as president of the russian on us leaders. both describe the summit and positive terms, but put in and did say he had no illusions about the relationship. the talks lasted about 3 and a half hours is a quick recap of the big day. the the i have no illusion following the meeting, the, the old or new that can't be any illusions at all by and said he didn't bay russia
8:03 am
by the way, that was a joke or just from a home. and that's a good some of the key takeaways from the summit of putin and bite and did agree to have talked on the strategic stability and issues of nuclear arms control. they also discussed a possible prisoner exchange and agreed to receive the return, the respective ambassadors to their original posts. now, there was no breakthrough on the issue of cyber security though they did agree to start regular consultations on this rather sensitive issue. now as far as it goes with stumbling blocks, well, the 2 presidents raised concerns about human rights in each other's countries. they also failed to come up with any solid action plan for ukraine. our team was in geneva following the entire summit for you. here are some of the highlights 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,
8:04 am
looks like ties between the 2 countries are better today and really looks like the best you can. hopefully we've never going to move mountains in terms of the problems that exist. but what we have seen 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 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 saying that it wasn't again, it wasn't context the wasn't somebody school remote points that we don't know when a profi good job wasn't to get one off 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 had from
8:05 am
the year. but when you go to the new student, 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 where 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 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 gotten sing on may the lucian 96 is and boeing 74 seven's air force will. now 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,
8:06 am
the sunset over the lake just behind us here in geneva, 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 bite and himself gave him and that there were some things that he was not willing to negotiate moist. do 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 security. 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. a question himself won't be difficult questions. that's vladimir putin face, that which joe barton had the good fortune to escape. what questions about the opposition that we're putting the point to that the protestors and the rest of following the event in capitol hill that they faces march of 25 years in jail?
8:07 am
you 5 years in jail, for a political proto, the year, but to budget has said that there's new comparison to because they're criminal. but alexis, the bombing, who was convicted in the service, 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 and all comparing what happened the capitol hill, people to the treatment of elected yvonne and saying there's nothing in common with the nation. you just, you're never 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 for 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?
8:08 am
and one of the things both leaders agreed on is to barger buttons was that need to be rules of the road. so that as a rule to how both countries should behave in case they come into this agreement over sub dispute, your outside conflict, ab resolve them as civilized thought. i would say fred, this, the thought, but they need a framework of how to behave and so that to happen both because we need to be held equally accountable. it wouldn't do one country gets away with doing something and the other does it. your body said fraser, who's the, why disturb of our lives? and he said, how would the united states feel if it was 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 here live smart. so that
8:09 am
when you should 32, he's given us. why does it even believe that russian foreign policy is unpredictable? well, let me send the park back to you with us leaving the abm treaty in 2002 with absolutely unpredictable. what are they doing is that undermine the basis of international stability in the area of strategic security and then withdrew from the i n f treaty in 20. 19, there's nothing stable about that. the open sky withdrawal has nothing about it and almost nothing left to thank god in the field, a strategic mr. by taking a completely adequate decision to prolong the news, don't treat for 5 years. but you know, if you take the situation with ukraine with crimea, and that's where it all sounds right. what they will about in the queue. they thought when the ex president could reach to reduce the demand of the opposition, he was basically ready to abandon our undeclared new election in about 3 months of
8:10 am
the blood hills coolers needed us to let you know the consequences got out of the country. then crimea said, you think it predictably not, i don't know. what do we do at the end of the day? what happened here in geneva? decent summit was basically a trust building exercise. very few was 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. joe biden says, we'll find out within the year whether let's see, 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 villa where those
8:11 am
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 per month 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 all very cordial, it's unlikely that they are 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 of mind about 10 years apart. this is not a bio moment, is used to say back in the sixty's days like less huggy love each other,
8:12 am
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. despite the generally positive tone from both precedence, the american meteor 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 with let me put in saying the russian president got everything he wanted the russian leader for his boss describe 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 drawing, has nothing to do with reality. he's been on a long journey flying across the atlantic. so we're talking about jet like here. you know, even when i fly, it throws me off balance a little. and yet he looked alert. i told him face to face for 2 hours or maybe a little more than that. he's completely in the loop. he did look into his notes from time to time, but we'll do that. and that image has being drawn by the media kind of low you into
8:13 am
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 to miss anything . he doesn't miss anything, i can assure you. in geneva, the us leader was fortunate enough to avoid tough questions from the media perhaps because no foreign press where even present at his press conference. the russian president, however, was bombarded with questions from international journalists right after the meeting . did you commit to stopping your crank down against the opposition groups inside russia said 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 last. 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
8:14 am
heckling putin and fantasizes about bite and smiling at her, which says everything you need to know about these dinner golfers. they're not holding power to account in their own capital. their heckling the designated enemies of america and hoping to get the approval of their president. well, the mentality of these journalists is the mentality of the east coast establishment . they operate from a place of american exceptionalism and american innocence. they cannot fathom that the u. s. could possibly be literally paying opposition, figures, managing opposition, figures. and so when these reporters were badgering couldn't 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 the movement of insurrection as d a. r g, a quarter
8:15 am
past be out here in moscow, the russian region of crimea has now declared a state of emergency made severe flooding, which is left at least one person dead and at least 24 injured. as we understand roughly 2000 people have been evacuated from their homes and reporting from crimea . egos down off i with, ah, 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, i can feel large,
8:16 am
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 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 door saved us. the rain was so strong by 6 o'clock, the water had breeched 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 will ever have to go
8:17 am
through what we did. it's a tragedy. why 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 least as a software. we are clearing the drainage system, removing debris from the flood. so the water drinks 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 realty. so for me, that builds up all the basement was completely flooded. 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
8:18 am
the beginning of a high to receive and, but obviously that will have to wait. now, i'm again done reporting from crimea c and lots still to come here on the weekly, on our t international, including lockdown roles extended in england by 4 more weeks. and that a spread of a new cobit barrier. and we get reaction from those and let them ah, driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me dares
8:19 am
8:20 am
cases in 24 hours. and new restrictions are now being brought in, including limiting non emergency medical care for an vaccinated patients. as easy as trunk picks up 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, very, and which recreate with an india is taking its toll on 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
8:21 am
antibodies to resistance compared to the original hand virus. 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 groundbreaking 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
8:22 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. i campaign in the city to promote booster jabs will also begin in the near future at the moscow's mayor office announced mandatory vaccination for 60 percent of the staff in the service sector. so it looks like the rushing capital is bracing itself for nothing less but a real vaccination boom. when vladimir 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, the little vaccination range, and the slight nature of the virus. in the meantime, the existing anti covert measures in the russian capital have been extended till
8:23 am
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. busy 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. well, the region of central italy wants to allow tourists to receive the russians. sputnik, the covert shot, to visit the mark a province as urging the government to open up the entire country to such travelers
8:24 am
. and we actually 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 tends 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 does come a week after the european parliament and a final approval to the new digital certificate scheme for over 19. it includes data on p, c, r tests, antibodies and vaccination, but only for shots approved by the european medicines agency. and so far the regulator has approved for vaccines, but that does not include the russian ones or chinese or indian jobs. jacoby ross
8:25 am
again, so it's become a highly politicized su, my show no day, in my opinion. this decision is caused by 2 political reasons and ross, the phobia. these are not medical reasons because we all know 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, the e to often protects interests. the conflict with the interests of europe and citizens, we, europeans, citizens, but we are primarily residents of them are k. and so we serve our interests, especially in such absurd situations. like the one we're talking about, england's long awaited lockdown eating has been pushed back by 4 weeks. covered cases have been rising steadily since the thought of june with more than 10000 new infections reported on saturday. the new delta vary and his report spreading rapidly across england,
8:26 am
it's deemed to be up to 80 percent more transmissible than the previous dominant strain. prime minister says the lockdown extension will help 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 the 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 despite the i was in the corona virus situation until i looked down, protested riley's new downing street in london on monday chanting. shame on you and demanding freedom. it was some people in the british capital told us by everyone to do the same dose for 6 months from one to be really positive and gets back to the latest. and then to be told that, you know, 4 weeks of things,
8:27 am
not being no being i've been, it is, it is very frustrating. it's too late to come out with plenty of pen is now social distance ending going out and taking it. i think it's a great idea to try and get them get more people. i don't agree with closing for the 4 weeks. so delaying everything. because maybe they could have done something before light trying not to open too quick to people teaching inside because no one knew about the dent in so no one knew hide could be. there are lots of people with businesses and things like that that have been a really struggle for next fully, especially in the country. just want to know about the weekly, but only for this hour here. when you international, it's been such a busy week for your worldwide headlines. we got another program for you lined up in about 32 minutes. i hope you can join us that with
8:28 am
me the the i'm at kaiser or more of my guide to financial survival. this is a hedge fund, it's a device used by professional value eggs to earn money. that's right. these hedge funds are completely not accountable, and we're just adding more more to them fully the stabilize the global economy. you need to protect yourself and get inform wildcard mr. to the glacier police to louis the good news,
8:29 am
whether the newly man russell but i hope so. but over the the new one motion learning can still use the same course. procure mrs to propulsion just for that. i good position. we think he might be a soldier because of the boot she's wearing your twitched up took a personal opinion was on this. you're still summarizing, please. ah
8:30 am
me raise are definitely always been accounted knows how to make people money. you know, it's in the way, it's drawn me up in vegas. when the mob ran vegas, you would see stuff like car bombings and people would just go missing. and then they'd find them a couple months later when they were going to do a new construction site. or something like that, so that's kind of the way it was grown up in the early eighty's. um ended up dead in a ditch in a desert. it was probably because you try to get in the way the money in vegas. that's just something you don't do i me me.
