so yes, i me, ah, ah, us unveils the possibility of another round of sanctions against russia just 4 days off the food and bought in the summer in geneva. and in spite of the optimistic messages from both sides, all through stories that shake the week most go grim records. today, the number of code cases source to an all time high. the cities met as an alpha ross of new measures and devastating floods. leave one person dead to missing and dozens injured in southern rushes from problem forties, declare a state of emergency corresponding reports from the region. so this is what some of

the street here and y'all look like right now. i mean, you can hardly call it even the street you could probably take on to the store and so on a canoe or something i like for moscow. thanks for joining us in our international tonight. i'm daniel walton with util. sunrise, welcome to the program. and the us government has said its drooling up yet another round of and few rushes. sanctions is happening despite largely upbeat messages, having emerged from the polluting bought in summers which took place just 4 days ago. rushes for a ministry spokeswoman 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 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 so or waynes or elections interfering, or nevada only 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 that 2 leaders were 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're 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 said star 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 u. s. 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 directions, but that are my food. and after the summit, 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 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. so i can tell russian officials, policy maker, they can feel a bit confused after this about face jack solomon, the u. s. the, the national security advisor. he talks about new anti russian, russian sanctions like, you know, the summit never happened. and it is especially bizarre if, especially if you recall what the americans talk before the summit. so 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 you know, predictability. we spoke with independent journalist martin summers. you think that upcoming sanctions demonstrate the extent of the anti russian lobby in the us? 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 and the media who are determined to sabotage constructive 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 have no recovery that the machine nations in order to prevent anything positive coming on today and the same. so this is sort of gets a frame. yeah. it makes. it's just common sense the 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 the whole still let's see, which is now become endemic presidents pertinent bite and spoke for 3 and half hours in geneva. on wednesday, our team was there in switzerland. following all the developments is a quick recap of how the day unfolded. the the, i

have no illusions following the meeting, either old or new. they can't be any illusions at all by and sat in vain. russia. by the way, that was a joke. well, here are the main takeaways from the day. the lead is better agreed to hold consultations on so she's the senior arms control as well. also for discussion, a possible prisoner exchange. and of course, the leaders agreed to restore their respective baset as to the united states and russia. no breakthrough in cyber security though they did agree to start consultations on that issue. and of course, stumbling blocks. there were a couple left and bought in both raising human rights concerns in each other's countries. also, failing to come up with a concrete plan on the side of the question of crimea. i was mentioned, our team was in geneva with pizza ans ask you fronting our coverage

a long couple weeks i'll hold on. hi. i was all around. of course, the big russia us summit was building. now it's over, don, 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 to become interesting 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 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 some things that he was not willing to negotiate. pizza moist also said, 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 person place to tell us everything about especially president putin's press conference, was more at god's 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 board your 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 outside conflict. after resolve them as a civilized partners, i would say fred's thoughts, but they need a framework of how to behave. and for that to happen, groups, 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 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 as do it. but in this rate, that meant to us. russia is accused of being predictable, by the way. how is russia planning to j. vladimir putin odds the smog

that when you shoot dirt track, he's given us near by. you see 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 election in about 3 months. no, the blood hills crew was needed. that led to known consequences. south east of the country, then crimea, and you think it off to? predictably, no, i don't think so. what do we do alternately? it is a trust exercise is about laying a foundation on which russia the united states can rebuild relations. i wouldn't say build on relations because there aren't much left to speak off there, there in taxes. whether it work to a button says we'll find out within the year whether it looks he results from, from all the top from all the agreements. for the criticism the both sides had for each other. but the message is that preliminary, it was successful. the russian region of crimea has declared a state of emergency and severe flooding that's left at least one person dead and 43 injured. almost 2000 people have been activated from their homes. ortiz,

it goes done off is at the same ah, 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 start deducting strangely at 4 30 in the morning. so i took it outside my door saved us. the rain was so strong by 6 o'clock, the water had reached its banks. i will call my son and we started to stop the water from entering our home. but nothing could stop it. we could only grab our documents and not fit. we lost everything. you could shoot a disaster like this has never happened before. i hope no one will ever have to go through what we did. it's a tragedy. i'm thinking 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. we're clearing the drainage system, removing debris from the flood,

so the water drains 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. so been a festival. the basement was completely nodded. rescue work is pumped out the water and we scooped up the salt and mont. now we have taken out the furniture to see what we can to use. our children came to help asking us to give them a job. they carry out toys, we gave them simple jobs. so this is what a beach here normally looks like this time a year. but this is what it actually looks like right now. it was supposed to be the beginning of a high to receive and, but obviously that will have to wait. now i'm a good done of reporting from crimea. see still ahead. the russian capital is tightening its co restrictions due to a spike in case number one. how about story and more after the break

the the media, a reflection of reality. the in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation, whole community. you going the right way? or are you being that somewhere which direction? what is true? what is fake in the world corrupted. you need to this end ah, to join us in the depths will remain in the shallows, ah,

driven by shapes by those in me i think we dare to ask me. ah, ah ah ah ah

ah, i will. i the welcome back. moscow has said a grim record, a new code infection sits registered more than 9000 cases in 24 hours. you restrictions that are being brought in, including limiting of non emergency medical care for unvaccinated patients to use it. but franco tells 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 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 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 russian capital is bracing itself for nothing less but a real vaccination boom. when vladimir putin as press secretary dmitri pascal 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 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. 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 receive the sputnik ve job to visit the mall. k province is urging the government to open up the entire country to such travelers to try and save him badly. hit tourism industry. we heard from the local counselor who came up with a 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 and tourists, even if the vaccinated cannot come to italy. and this is cause tremendous economic losses because italy attracts the loss of russian tourists each year. this comes just the week of the hero, p in parliament, gave final approval to the new digital certificate scheme for private 19, and includes data on p. c. office antibodies and vaccinations only though for shots approved by the european medicines agency. so far the regulator has approved for vaccines, the russian chinese and indian jobs out among them. so, komodo see again says it's become a highly politicized issue. much you should know, in my opinion, this decision is caused by political reasons, and these are not medical reasons because the only student works and therefore it is probably a continuation european union's policy towards the russian federation. i have absolutely no fear that we are protecting the interests of mar, k, v. 2 often protects in the conflict with the interests in the european systems we

european 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 english lockdown has been extended by 4 weeks beyond the june 21st target days after such in case numbers. the prime minister has defended the move, saying, opening up now would cost lives 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 built up a very considerable wall of immunity around the whole of the population. i meanwhile, anti locked down, protest is running me a downing street in london on monday songs and shame on you and demanding freedom.

here's what some people in the british capital tell us about development by everyone to do that, that st. joe's for 6 months from one to be really positive and gets backseat speculated. and then to be told that you know, for weeks of things not being no being i've been 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. i think it's a great idea to try and get them get more people's like i don't agree with closing for the 4 weeks. so delaying everything because maybe they could have done something before lights trying not to open too quick. 2 people sitting inside because no one knew about the discovery. and so no one knew hired could be there

are lots of people with businesses and things like that. but i really struggle and actually, especially in the country just in other global news, armenia has just dropped off. it's not parliamentary election with preliminary results suggesting a landslide when but a party of acting prime minister. nicole, pushing in the opposition headed by the countries ex president, has refused to recognize the outcome side, and reports of fraud at paulding stations comes after months of political time. whatever loss is more in a disputed character region, not conflict, and then a peace deal with major territorial losses to us about john your position in queues, the prime minister of betraying his country with that truth. forcing an early vote . he's protests and now sweeping across brazil, that's against the president's response to the pandemic. and saw paulo crowds blocks, major rhodes, calling for sure you both and auto before from office or even jailed. this comes

off the cobra death toll serve, past half a 1000000 in brazil. vaccination rates still relatively low. and finally, mounds. aetna has erupt suited for the 2nd time in 48 hours. that will kind of want me to turn it on into sicily, sent felton's red haul tasha lava into the night sky. the last, the russian force, the closure of the local airport, over 3000 meters. if europe's highest active volcano was bought with exxon, a book heading away in just a couple of minutes time, we're back in the office with the latest join us again. them, me ah, join me every thursday and the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me

ah, to be with me. ah ah ah. the

me the me i learned welcome to the current politics is due primarily the reality of alpha males, especially when it comes to interactions in russia and the united states with thousands of nuclear rockets pointed at one another with this week's bilateral assignment in geneva, logic and joseph biden seems to have, would be march your politics aside and even agreed that they bear the responsibility for managing the relationship between the countries. how long will this commitment lack what the discount that i'm now joined by? i'm the person, the director general of the russian international affairs counsel mister car. nothing is great to see you again. thank you for talking. john. welcome. now you've

been following the, you are still in the us russian relationship since the very beginning of your 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 geneva meeting, although i think there was also a little bit of this history in the making by kids. how do you assess it's significant the significance of these interactions in the grand scheme of things? well, i think that it's fair to say that in the relations between moscow and washington, nothing serious happens without some meetings. now, traditionally, some meetings have been a major catalyst for and you positive change in the relationship. they have elections in states and you present comes to power.
