the the ah, russia says it was forced to to fire warning shots after you came worship entered its territory and the black sea, however, london in the vessel was traveling in international waters, criminal or victim, and a french woman who says that she lives in fear of her husband, for decades on trial for murdering him, that has campaigners one. there is little protection in cases of domestic violence . and a report revealed suicide by us. the veterans of war on terror are 4 times higher than death and combat to hear from a former soldier. ah,
9:01 pm
roger, my direct from a studio moscow. this is our to international. and john thomas certainly glad to have you with us. the russian defense ministry says it's fired warning shots after a british destroyer entered its waters. here's our correspondent, but i got here with more the british worship was detected as it was approaching russia's territorial waters, just off the coast of crimea. it was warned repeatedly to change its course. the british, the apparently refused to heed those schools and eventually entered russia's territory waters. a patrol boat russian patrol boat apparently fought warding shots according to the russian ministry of defense. eventually, a russian jet was forced to drop bombs ahead of the, along the route of the british warship and eventually it left russia's territory waters. but the russians are saying that this was provocative behavior. they have
9:02 pm
some of the british military attache as well as the ambassador to explain these incident and the behavior of the british worship. the dangerous actions of the royal navy destroy, have been assisted by the russian defense ministry of the gross violation of the 1982 united nations convention on the law of the sea. the russian military cooled on the british side to conduct a thorough investigation into the actions of the h. m. s. defend the crew. to prevent similar incidents in the future. london version of events is markedly different from well the russian version of vents, as well as a journalist who was on board. so the british say that they were peace for the sailing along. and that the russians were somewhere out there, carrying out military exercises, of the new warnings were issued of any kind that saying, with all these reports about warning shots being fired, a russian, this information, it's incorrect to say either that it was fired upon or that the ship was in russia,
9:03 pm
waters h m. s. defender was taking the most direct and internationally recognized roots between ukraine and georgia. as you know, the u. k. does not recognize russia's claim to crimea, and we continue to uphold the international consensus that rushes annexation of crime. it is illegal. there are a number of possible explanations for the british version of events. one of them is that those writing press statements and releases have no idea of what happened. another is that unfortunately, the british may not be being entirely truthful. wow. yes, they recognize russian territory waters as ukrainian territory was as a journalist, jbc journalists abroad, and h m. s. defend says that yes, the worship was issued warnings by the russians. verbal warnings that yes, a purposefully entered the territorial waters that controlled by russia and the yes, there were warning shots being fired. in fact, during, during his interview,
9:04 pm
you could hear russian jets buzzing. the british. the british destroy. this was a deliberately, by the navy was regiments every morning, a strong question because i so i'm not sure i cross reaction the opposing statement, still pouring in. but russia has for a long time now wrung alarm belts about heightened nato activity in the black sea. they have said that almost a permanent basis now there are sophisticated native worship station in the black sea with precise and long range weapons abroad. and these sort of build up leads to incidence, like we saw today, or political analyst, chris bemberry believes such developments are the last thing the region needs. this is absolutely bizarre. britain might not recognize the russian occupation of cry, crimea, but this was no move which russians were going to see as provoking. and some sort
9:05 pm
of response is whether very likely from the russians and not appears to be what has happened. it seems as constant natal exercises along the various states bordering russia, the baltic states, and so on. this is a recipe for some sort of compensation. and i think there should be talks between nato and russia to deescalate the build up to deescalate the situation. and to ensure that such an incident does not happen again. the top level international security conference is taking place in moscow, tackling everything from cybersecurity to regional conflicts and nato. the annual event brings together defense ministers and experts from around the globe. and more than $600.00 are expected to discuss the most pressing security and stability concerns. the russian president lead off by saying that there are still many global challenges, and one of them is that some countries are trying to change the world order that has been established since the end of the 2nd world war latimer food and also with
9:06 pm
stress that russia is going to keep strengthening its military potential and improve military capabilities, but he's going to do this carefully, not to disrupt the global strategic stability. so let's have a listening, what would you deal with? sure, so, but we will do everything to guarantee the peace and security of the russian people to improve our armed forces. and of course, by means of diplomacy to lead a meaningful dialogue with all interested partners. clearly, we are concerned by the continued build up of nato military potential and infrastructure near russia's borders. as well as the fact that the airlines declines to constructively consider our proposals to de escalate tensions and reduce the risk of unpredictable incidence. and we hope that common sense and the desire to develop constructive relations with us will eventually prevail, that russian defense minister, i assure you who is also one of the key participants of this conference,
9:07 pm
said that there is a great chance that of ganeth stand will descend into civil war, once again after us troops pull out and he lamented the fact that washington has show no desire to work with russia to prevent this from happening. but he attributed much of that to the rest of phobia that unfortunately has prevailed among vast military and political leads in the west. i guess his fixed volume that none of the native representatives have decided to come to moscow for these conference. despite being invited, the french woman has gone on trial this week for murdering her husband. valerie bar code faces a possible life sentence, but says she did it to protect herself under 4 children. and now more than 600000 people have signed a petition in her support with more from parents. here's our t charlotte pinsky. it's a trial that his grip fraud with hundreds of 1000 signing
9:08 pm
a petition for her release. valerie buck, who admit she shot dead, her husband and buried his body in the woods. in her defense, she claims that he was abusive and she feared for the safety of their children. in a book she wrote about her relationship with daniel to let. she described the mistreatment. i did what he said. i didn't have much choice. what he thought i was doing something i shouldn't do. he was violent at 1st was slabs. then he started kicking me and strangling me. over time there came with threats with a firearm. for valerie, but cause he had been gone the much earlier. paulette was originally in a relationship with her mother. he then started sexually abusing valerie becca when she was just 12, a crying he was late to sent to jail for on his release to return to the family home. and he abuse resumes at 17. she was pregnant with paulette child. she
9:09 pm
alleges that he later forster into prostitution watching a she had sex with client when the client asked the price, daniel told me to repeat, it said that he could hear better. and he told me to answer yes or no. on the same valerie but co shot her husband, she told the court the paulette had asked about by 14 year old daughter and how she was sexually when prob, she said that she had been afraid that he would also sell the body for sex. and valerie buck, who is trial which is currently underway, her lawyer will argue that she was a desperate woman, pushed to kill, to survive. these women who are victims of violence have no protection. the judiciary is still too slow, not free active enough into lenient towards the perpetrators who could continue to exercise their violent power. the prosecution meanwhile alleges that valerie buck, who killed her husband in a pre meditated act, which carries
9:10 pm
a maximum life sentence in france. this trial shines a light on domestic violence in a country with one of europe's highest weights of women who being killed by a current or a former partner, 55 losing their lives already this year that led to an our poor ring of anger, which campaign is demanding action. when did you was point is not to blame the police, prosecutors or child welfare services. this is a failure of the whole system. and acknowledging this helps to improve support from victims and to prevent domestic violence and fem asides, which are the most extreme form of violence. so last day, the french government did were stormed with new legislation, including for the emergency measures to keep the violent abuses from approaching the victim. critics say though,
9:11 pm
that the measures have been implemented too slowly. when the general in france, the problem of violence by man against women is becoming a stomach. every year, 225000 women become victims of domestic violence. every 2 to 3 days, a woman dies in france, and the numbers are coming down. the last year hasn't seen any decrease and no actions have been taken to contain this assault. in fact, the measures announced by the government after a series of consultations on domestic violence over the last several months. well, either measures ready announced or we're ready being put in place, but funding hasn't been increased. we know that the police unequal authorities are completely saturated and can't implement you meshes without additional financing and personnel associations that support victims of violence also lack the means to do the walk. everything in the system in fact, cannot work because the support is not that the measures that have been announced
9:12 pm
are insufficient and do not measure up to the problem at all. anti virus pioneer john mcafee, has been found dead in his barcelona prison sell hours after a spanish high court agreed to extra to him to the u. s. where he faced tax evasion charges, and a 30 year prison sentence. no mcafee was the rest of the ad parson lona international airport in october, 2020. after us, prosecutors charged him with a waiting taxes. he was in jail awaiting the outcome of a hearing on his extradition to the us, but insisted the charges against him. were politically motivated or to have the honor of having mcafee as a guest multiple times, most notably to discuss allegations of russian interference in us elections. i feel that russia has been seriously abused by america, and certainly our american pop, government and politicians over the the false accusations of russia tried to
9:13 pm
hack our election when the f. b. i went to any other agency, says the russians, did it, or the chinese did something, or the iranian said something that's a fallacy. there simply is no way to assign of a source for any attack. this is a fallacy. this is what the f, b i and other agencies want us to believe so that they can manipulate their opinions. but i can promise you, if it looks like the russians did it, well, i can guarantee you. it was not the russians. it's propaganda intended to incite the american people to anger toward russia for some reason, or our intelligence community is so ignorant and naive that they should all be replaced. joe biden is again, fanning the flames of the u. s. gun debate with a new strategy to crack down on the violence targeting robot dealers and illegal firearms trafficking. he underscore 0 tolerance for those who put public safety at
9:14 pm
risk. as the country prepares to emerge from the covert pandemic, he warns that the traditional summer spike in gun violence may be more pronounced than normal. 0 tolerance. if you will sell a gun to someone who is prohibited from possessing it. if you willfully fail to run a background check if you willfully false fire record, if you willfully fail to cooperate with a tracy request or inspections my message use, this will find you. while the issue of gun violence is certainly a sore point in the united states. now, joe biden did lay out his new strategy for dealing with this situation. he spoke alongside the us attorney general representing the department of justice. now, in his proposal, he particularly emphasized gun dealer, and he pointed out that 5 percent of gun dealers in the united states are responsible for roughly 90 percent of the illegal guns. now, in the other proposals he made,
9:15 pm
he called for outlying assault weapons and high capacity magazines. he talked about more background checks being implemented. these are many implement many proposals he has come up with before and put forward. and that are very, very unlikely to be allowed to pass by republicans. republicans strongly disagree with these points and have voted against them in the path. now, it is interesting to note that when joe biden spoke, he made a rather interesting point regarding the issue of personal gun ownership, etc. this is a really interesting choice of words. take a listen. the 2nd amendment from the day it was passed, limited to type of people could only get what type of weapon you could own. if you want to do you think you need to have weapons to take on the government. you need to fifteens and maybe some nuclear weapons. the point is that has always been the ability to limit rationally limit a type of weapon that can be owned and who could own it. now, joe biden is republican opponents were quick to respond. we heard from ted cruz,
9:16 pm
the u. s. senator from texas. find and releases 5 point anti crime plans. take everyone's guns, abolished the place, released violent criminals and jail give violent felony stimulus dollars and make them legal voters and hide. now, any remarks joe biden propose that pandemic funds be used to hire more police officers throughout the country and anticipation of a possible spike and crime this summer. now that certainly goes contrary to what many democrats and liberal activists have proposed that being de funding of the police and reducing the police presence. now when he spoke, joe biden made clear that he felt that it was the pandemic that was responsible for the increase in crime, not black lives matter protests or decreased police presence, et cetera. now it is important to note that there has been a significant rise in crime throughout the united states over the past year. the murder rate has increased by 25 percent. and in most major cities, we're seeing
9:17 pm
a particular concentration of those cries, violent crimes are on the rise in urban areas throughout the country. now it's also worth noting that in new york city, more than half of the public says that their primary political concern is the issue of crime and they fear for their safety to some degree or other. so we now have a situation where joe biden has come out and made a big announcement regarding the issue of gun violence, anticipating perhaps a spike in violent crime over the summer as normally happens. but perhaps it will be bigger than usual. and we have jo buttons, opponents coming out and saying, well, joe biden is depriving people of their ability to defend themselves. so that's the response. or the gun debate continues in the united states. more than 7000 us service members have died in combat in americas post 911 wars, but 4 times more active duty personnel and veterans have died from suicide. this,
9:18 pm
according to a new study, this trend is deeply alarming increasing rates of suicide, veterans and active duty personal or out pacing those of the general population marking a significance shift. the research find some factors contributing to the rise in suicide are true to all wars, including exposure to trauma, physical and mental problems, stress and burn out. other issues include access to guns, post conflict, and a difficulty reintegrating. on returning home, however, some aspects appeared to be specific to the wars that america launched on terror groups after the september 11th attacks in the u. s. for instance, the widespread use of improvised explosive devices against us troops has caused an increase in traumatic brain injuries. about a 3rd of wounded soldiers go for at least one more deployment after recovering, which contributes to suicide related issues. social indifference to postal 911 wars is also
9:19 pm
a major factor with many saying that the pentagon had no clear objectives in countries like afghanistan. one veteran shared his thoughts on the findings. the american war on terror is a far, it's a scam. as suddenly butler, the marine corps, mitchell major general would have said it's a racket, and it shows now in the way that the american government failed american veterans and active duty proved in the area of mental health. i've known that this has been an ongoing tragedy since i was in a lock myself in 2004 and experience it firsthand. the main reason we are seeing up in 10 ewing better in suicide epidemic in the united states that we can talk about the suicide itself and the trauma of water. but the fact is that america is joe. you dont squeamish about the issue and we need a fake up to them. and when we do,
9:20 pm
we're going to see that the here are the back treatments where they are available all along and was just because we let government perpetuate this criminal on road to keep alternative therapies that we hope battle, but working to make available for americans better and they kept them away from us . they told us that we are fighting for freedom and then we don't have it when we get home. moscow says it has come across lapses flagged by the world health organization at a cobra vaccine plant. and is making the necessary corrections. the w. h. o is looking into 7 russian factories after the country applied to register. sputnik v in europe. looking at what has been said, here's ortiz, elia, patricia. out of the 7 existing sputnik re factories a total of 4, which is more than a half have been inspected by the officials of the w h o. and there were only complaint found at one single production site in the fall,
9:21 pm
which included issues with data and test results and things like issues with lap conditions. now, according to the russian government, all these concerns and issues have been fully dealt with me. and indeed that had been complaints from the inspection team. as far as we know, everything has already been taken into account and what needed to be changed has already been changed. according to the russian government. the reason why everything was fixed so quickly is that the authorities from russia's ministry of industry and trade had been aware of the preliminary reports by the w h o. and so to say began doing their homework in advance and already at this point, the inspectors from the world health organization have been invited back to far to check how their concerns have been dealt with. officials in moscow are also stressing that the complaints about this one single production site in no way undermine the positive conclusions about the effectiveness and quality of the
9:22 pm
sputnik v. jap, the international recognition of the russian made vaccine has been somewhat of a tricky issue in this country has been claimed many times that the has fallen victim to politics because while in more than 60 countries around the world specifically has been given the green light, it has not been approved for use by the european medical agency, for example, and the world health organization as well. but with everything now, being fixed in the russian officials are hoping that this could be the next major step to full international recognition of sputnik b. now for many of the pan mac has brought hardship and suffering but for some time to reap massive profits, global anti poverty, charity ox m, has found the major european supermarkets are among the worst called brits paying. astonishing bonuses to shareholders, while the central workers and farmers are neglected. cars at 19 has cost global
9:23 pm
workers. $3.00 trillion dollars and lost income, and women and young workers have been hardest hit as they are often found in the most insecure and lowest paid jobs. few places revealed this trend more clearly than supermarket supply chains. most of food chains are considered essential businesses. so stayed open through coven lockdown. they hiked shareholder payouts from 10 to more than $22000000000.00. and just the 1st 8 months of the pandemic alone. that is a rise of 123 percent. but oxfam says the workers most in need to have missed out on the other side of the coin. and the loses will really work because, and farmers who produce a lot of these food products, particularly in developing countries. because they've had, you know, what we would use, we've shown previous reports that there is systemic exploitation supply chains. and
9:24 pm
what we found was that they hadn't even tougher yet unusual because of the panoramic. they had fear for the safety, but some people do a lot of work at the last income, middle, some of them last job, some of the homes. and we didn't, we found very little evidence that the supermarkets were, you know, sort of factoring that in to the way they saw that product was a time to implement the human rights policies that they improved over the last part is result of ox, behind the buckets. campaign, and we didn't really see very much evidence of that. so that's why we're saying it's a taylor with the news with which dr. the economic inequality. controversial brain chip technology may sound like science fiction, but it has gained increasing attention over the years with countries developing programs to explore, implanting microchips into human brains and recent reports in the russian media about the technology have only added fuel to the rumor mill with stories of humans
9:25 pm
remotely controlling, for instance, nuclear power plants and vehicles are cheese, mitre poke, has a store it themes that whenever someone merely mentions micro chip implants, a lot of people freak out. everyone search rushing to doomsday prophecies and conspiracy theories suggesting that people will be forcibly implanted with micro chips by an overbearing government. well, some russian media and now suspect that brain sharp research might have existed or could even still exist in the russian government. and this all started when the education ministry unexpectedly released the statement saying that a brain sharp research project was abandoned last year after being deemed impractical. everybody started freaking out because everyone was shocked and surprised, learned that such a thing existed in the 1st place. while r t reached out for comment to the ministry, and here's what they said. the ministry of education and science presently has new
9:26 pm
programs dedicated to brain implants, there was no financing plant. the research group working under the ministry currently starting matters related to life. one job, it's in the process of aging. additionally, they weren't even able to find any specialist who could have potentially said something like this to the media, let alone a person even knowing anything about such a project. although the ministry did say that a proposal for this kind of research was introduced to the government, but it received no support and no funds and nobody's working on it. but that comment also raised quite a few eyebrows because for proposal to be introduced to the government, it has to overcome quite a few hurdles. and that requires quite a bit of support. but nobody at this point knows who was behind the initial proposal. so no project, no funds, not a single person who has heard or knows anything about this research. so how did
9:27 pm
this issue come up in the 1st place? well, a popular theory is that this is merely or common taken out of context by the publication that initially started this rumor, a rumor that at this point has taken on a life of its own on the internet with people freaking out, creating means horror stories. and all this only further exacerbated by news like you on mosque developing is neural link technology, which is brain machine interface brain implants. and people constantly worrying about vaccines being used to secretly inject the population with micro chips all in all themes. that as long as there's, there's much panic surrounding anything to do with brain ship research. this is an area in which science won't be making any progress anytime soon. or if it does, it'll probably have to be confined to some deep, dark underground research facility. until the time when a bit more, people are more open to it. that doesn't for me, this are,
