will join me every thursday on the alex simon show when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in the, the us sunnyvale is the possibility of another round of sanctions against russia just poor days off of the putin part in the summer in geneva. i didn't want to be optimistic messages from both sides. also in the stories that shape the weak moscow sets a grim record. data number of code 19 cases source thought all the cities man has an alpha roth of new measure and devastating floods. leave one person dead to missing and dozens injured and stuff and rushes chronic problems. declare

a state of emergency correspondence reports from the region. 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 and so on a canoe or something i like for most go, thanks for joining us in either 19 financial on. daniel hawkins with you to sunrise . welcome to the progress of the us government has said it's drooling up yet. another round of and you russia sanctions miss happening despite largely beat messages. having emerged between the put in blood and summit, which took place just 4 days ago. a rush is foreign ministry spokesman has condemned the move saying moscow will be forced to retaliate. we have always given a consistent response to legal actions of the united states. it is strange that some people in washington enjoy this obstacle course so much. american idealogues

have revealed themselves, they need all of the fuss around the supposed poisoning as a tool for solving the problems of their own non competitiveness. it is a surprise and you know, given this latest twist that we're seeing right now, it seems that you know, the relationship between russia and the us. they are not going to improve anytime soon. in fact, they can get even worse, because jack salad the u. s. national security advisor has just said on seeing that they did that biden's administration is preparing new sanctions against moscow. we are preparing another package of sanctions to apply and these case as well. we've shown all along the way that we're not going to pull our punches, whether it's on solar, wayne's or elections interfering or no valley. when it comes to responding to rushes harmful activities, it will come as soon as we have developed the packages to ensure that we are getting the right targets. and when we do that, we will impose further sanctions with respect to chemical weapons. this comes on

the heels of the geneva, somewhere between vladimir putin and joe biden, where they had their 1st face to face meeting since the american president took office. and you know, both sides hailed as talks as constructive and overall positive. and even though there were, there wasn't any major break through, at least it seemed to leaders. we're committed to try to improve the poor state of the bilateral relationship between russia and the u. s. and you know, just days after the summit, the senior american official announcing that they will prepare new that they going to prepare new sanctions and not just with regard to lexi and the valid. he also reaffirm that they will continue to impose several sanctions against companies that are related to the north stream to gas pipeline. so on, you know, that's a stark contrast to how the russian side acted after the summit in geneva, reputed, for instance, he obey defended joe biden, amid allegations he's facing at home,

that the us president might not be in his best, physical or mental shape. you know, he's often seen not being able to read properly, probably teleprompter or you know, losing sense of direction but that my food and after the summer he basically talked joe biden, up that image that is being drawn by the media kind of low you 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. so i can tell russian official policy maker. they can feel a bit confused after this about face jack sullivan, the u. s. the, the national security advisor. he talks about new anti rush and russian sanctions like, you know, the summit never happened. and you know, it is especially bizarre if, especially if you recall what the americans talked before the sun that they were

talking about predictable and stable relationship between the us and russia. that's something they are seeking and what they're doing right now after the summit, it doesn't necessarily falls under the category of predictability that we spoke with independent journalist smart in some of the things. the upcoming sanctions demonstrate the extent of the anti russian lobby in the united states. well, i think it shows disarray only us side. it was always going to be very difficult for boyden to make any kind of concessions, because there's a huge lobby inside the united states, based within the, the sort of security apparatus. when the media here were determined to sabotage constructed relations between russia and the west. the faction which you're pushing for a sanctions. they weren't very happy perhaps of the meeting,

took place at all. and therefore they've never carried out their machinations in order to prevent anything positive coming on today on the same side as the sort of gets a frame. yeah, it makes just common sense to saw. she talked to each other. so of course we had the meeting last week, but i can't say on terribly surprised to see that the, the reiteration of all still, etc, which has now become endemic. presidents, person and biden spoke for 3 and a half hours in geneva on wednesday, and our team was there in switzerland following all developments. here's a quick recap of how the day unfolded. the the news. the. i

have no illusions following the meeting, the, the old or new. there can't be any illusions at all by and said he didn't bay russia by the way. that was a joke. well, let's take a look at the main takeaways. from the day, the leaders agreed to hold consultations on strategic stability nuclear arms control as well. they also discuss the possible prisoner exchange. they will so agreed to return the ambassadors to that respective post and no breakthrough. sadly, on cybersecurity, though they did agree to start regular consultations on that issue. there were also some stumbling blocks. of course, putin and biden raised concerns about human rights in each other's countries. there was no concrete action plan for the question of ukraine either. now was mentioned, our team was in geneva with pizza and saskia fronting covered a long couple of

weeks. i'll hold on high, i'll hold up for a round. of course the big russia us summit was building. now it's over and done, the president biden, president putin, they sat down, they talked, i'm really the bottom line is, looks like ties between the 2 countries. up 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, i'm 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 part of the job wasn't to get one or someone out. it was sent pete to become and just in 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 them. and your billing group. i was given this to me, 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 on differing 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, bite and insult gave an unclean that there were certain things that he was not willing to negotiate. personally also said 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 security. now course, the best place to tell us everything about especially president putin's press conference, was more at god who had self was literally in the hall. i believe he's got

a chance to off president putin, a question himself, one of the things both leaders agreed on is to borrow job buttons, words they need to be rules of the world. so that as a rule to how both countries should behave in case they come into this agreement over something that the dispute, your outside conflicts have resolve them as a civilized partners, i would say freds of thought, but they need a framework of how to behave and so that to happen, those countries need to be held equally accountable. it wouldn't do a fun country gets away with doing something and the other doesn't feel bad and said the phrase, the who's quite disturb live. and he said, how would the united states feel if it was see 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 plan interchange? here, vladimir putin onto smart. he was going to know that when she told story he's given your name. you said the with 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 20. 19, there's nothing stable about that. the open sky treaty withdrawal has nothing stable about it and almost nothing left. thank god, in the field. a strategic stability, mr. biden. have taken 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 stable about endorsing the qu, they talk when the ex president yanna cove agree,

all the demands of the opposition. he was basically ready to abandon power, undeclared, new elections in about 3 months. no, the blood fills qu, was needed that lead to known consequences. southeast of the country, then crimea, and you think it's us who predictably, no, i don't think so. what do we do alternately? 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's worth to a bottom says, we'll find out within the year whether we'll see results from, from all the top from all the grievance for the criticism. the both sides had for each other. but the message is, the preliminary. it was successful. the russian region of crimea has declared a state of emergency amid severe flooding. that's left at least one person dead and 43 injured, almost 2000 people who evacuated from their homes. ortiz egos done off reports from

crime in the with me. so this is what some of the streets 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 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 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 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 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 grow about documents and not fit. we lost everything new. could you disaster like this has never happened before. i hope no one will ever have to go through what we did. it's a tragedy. why begging 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. we're clearing the drainage system,

removing debris from the flood. so the water drains 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 stuff in the past. 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 of 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 a good done of reporting from crimea artsy still to come. the russian capital is tightening its co restrictions due to a spike in case some was story and more off of the break

i rather driven by dreamer shapes, by those in me i think we dare to ask me ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have, it's crazy plantation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally,

i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk to me. ah, welcome back to the program. now, moscow has said grim record a new code infections registering more than 9000 cases in a 24 hour period. you restrictions are now being brought in, including the limiting of non emergency medical care for on vaccinated patients are easily trunk. oh, can tell us more 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 variant which originated in 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 anti bodies to resistance compared to the original we'll 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 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 isolate them. all those who can have the jet 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 russian capital is bracing itself for nothing less but a real vaccination boom. when vladimir putin as 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 low vaccination rate and the slight nature of the virus. in the meantime, the existing anti covert measures and 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,

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. a region of central italy wants to allow taurus received, the russian splitting the cobra shot to visit the mark a province is urging the government to open up the entire country to such travelers to try and save the badly hit tourism industry. 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. well, it comes a week after the european parliament a final approval to the new digital certificate scheme for carbon 19. it includes data on p. c, office antibodies and vaccination, only though for shots approved by the european medicines agency. so far the regulator has approved for vaccines the russian funnies or indian jobs on among them. so quote, aussie 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,

v. you too often protects impress. the conflict with the interests in the european system is a european citizen is what 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 locked out has been extended by 4 weeks beyond the june 21st target date after such in case numbers. the british from ministers defended the move, saying, opening up now woods, cost lives 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 the that period of, by, by july, the 19th, we do think that we would have built up a very considerable wall of immunity around the whole of the population. the meanwhile, and he looked down,

protest is relevant downing street in london on monday, sounding shame on you and demanding freedom is what some people in the british capital told us about developments everyone to do that. but say in those 6 sense to one to be really positive and gets backseat back later. and then to be told that you know, 4 weeks of things not being being i've been it is it is very frustrating. it's who i like to come out. there's plenty of pen is now social distance ending going out and taking it further. 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 to people teaching inside

because no one knew about the discovery. and so now when you are hired could be there are lots of people with businesses and things like that. that have been a really struggle and actually, especially in the country just sometimes you know, the world news mania has just wrapped up. it's not parliament re election with preliminary results suggesting a landslide when for the party of acting prime minister, nicole pos union. the opposition headed by the countries ex president has refused to recognize the outcome, fighting reports of frauds appalling stations. this comes after months of political turmoil over last year's war in the disputed kind of region. i conflicts ended a peace deal with major territorial losses to as a, by john your position in queues, the prime minister of betraying his country with that truth. forcing an early vote, huge progress and now sweeping brazil against the president's response to the pandemic. in so paula crowds blocked major rose calling for julia,

both in room 3 forth from office or even jailed. this comes off of the co decile search, past half a 1000000 in brazil with vaccinations rates still relatively low. and finally, mounds at le hasn't updated for the 2nd time and 48 hours. ok now on the island, italian island of sicily sent fountains of red hot lava into the sky. below the russian force, the closure of the local airport, over 3000 meters in europe. highest active volcano. next talk to commentary follows and i've got a female m p break in the country stereotypes in the i've gotten woman k u as in the us it's american lawyer can often with the latest. so and again that me ah, ah,

phoenix has actually got a little uncovered face men's, clothing and shoulder holster. it's a kind of gun feminism. its name is how camino bought it up, put a human some of the whole mother that of us. it was up on the job, but you don't want me. she lives in one of the most dangerous and patriarchal provinces of afghanistan cost when she was time on the national level that i shot, did the average, people have that updated literature. i'm glad that i got enough that she does her best to fight for women's rights. i am not able to get that done. as you know what i do know that

she's known him by her nickname king. that there was a guy to reco much other. that was really i'll go monday, i join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business and show business. i'll see you then me released video shows las vegas police waiting in the hallway at the mandalay bay hotel. even as steven paddock continues to murder people below the board ever killed and this coward stayed on the 31st floor and not one attempt

was made to reach the 32nd floor. buyers could have been saved if they were to take an action. absolutely. they had a team of armed individuals that did nothing but coward while the shots were going on. 58 people died at night and the cow will come. could have done something wire, but they don't tell anybody about it. i found out about it and i did the story on it. there were about 30 police officers with shotguns and yours and we'll come to him. the commission for now on the 32nd floor, went into the room 1121 of the water watch discharges weapon in the room. where they went into the room and they completely destroyed the crime scene. which is something you all do when they turned over paddock, spotty. they ran shocked. the room that goes against any stand that police protocol

anywhere in this country to handle the crime scene like a bunch of incompetent cars in colorado, the biggest crime scene in american history. at that point. the bottle never brought this out until i broke the story and was followed up by some news me after she would not have won the election. in my opinion, had this information been released the way should have been released in the timeframe. it should have been released in the put it was for us to release. you have the body chair videos where you hear officers directly saying turn your cameras off, make sure your cameras are off. why do you not want what's about to happen to be on video? show my body, what are the many crazy things in this investigation that just doesn't? i think there's something more to this shooting than what's been disclosed. police officers that say to day or.
