ah, the ah, the serving images from the german city of works virg, where a knife wielding attack are killed 3 people and leaves another 6 injured before being detained by police. stop the figures and the state resist calls from europe, ian power houses, france and germany for a political summit with russia. it is more important to maintain this agenda on russia, ties and preserve unity as division, makes us weak. you is also split on whether to force british tourists to quarantine with france and germany leading calls for the restrictions and piling pressure on tourist hotspots in southern europe to do the same ah,

broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our teacher, national. i'm showing thomas certainly wanted to have with us right now. 3 have been killed and 6 injured in a stabbing rampage in the german city of vertes burg. please say they have detained the attacker, a 24 year old immigrant from somalia. the state interior minister said the man has a history of mental health issues, and terrorism is not a motive. more now from our europe correspondence, peter oliver, in berlin. well, before we come to images that we can show you from the scene, i must warn you that there are a disturbing images coming out from the city of void, spoke in the wake of this. while this attack that has taken place, it's claimed a number of lives, the main and only suspect, please telling us in what seems to have been a rhetoric incident taken place on friday afternoon. he was shot in the leg and is

now in custody. that's what we know about him. what he's left in his way is at least 3 people dead. according to media on the scene. 6, have been reported, has been injured after what is being called a knife rampage, and a pedestrian area of the city of bullets book those. those images, particularly, particularly shocking. you seen the, the main suspect coming face to face with a member of the public brandishing is fists trying to push back the man who has a clearly has a knife in that footage of the said, the very much a developing story. one that will be, keep me on top of getting as much information. what we can tell you from the police in the very latest is that they consider this incident to prove no further risk. and no way they looking for anybody else involved in what has happened on the streets avoids. but what don't seem to have happened is

a number of people being reported to 3 people have been killed on friday afternoon to friday evening. a number more 6 people were hearing, have been injured in a knife attack in the streets of the southern german city of order book. you has failed to come out of talk with the united position on the tick starting and direct relations with russia. and that is despite its 2 leading members, france and germany open to reset and wanting a summit. sanctions against moscow were also discussed with details. here's our to charlotte davinsky confirmation that, that sanctions against russia by the you will not be prolong the sanctions have been in place since around 2014 following the referendum in crimea. that normally action didn't last for about 6 months. those sanctions will continue according to the council president, show michelle on areas such as energy, the financial and industries, as well as personal sanctions against

a number of russian individuals. well, the announcement just came out was off, the leaders signed a joint declaration on a number of issues including looking at relations with russia in which they suggested to the e. u commission that they wanted the commission to look at the possibility of further sanctions against russia. now it did seem as if the e u was putting on the united front, but already cracks are appearing. we know that some countries like france and germany, had gone into this summit saying what they really wanted was a summit with russia to open dialogue. but that was shut down by other countries, including poland, who said that they didn't want that to take place as such. there isn't any mention of a summit in that communique. just the idea of looking at relations with russia in the future until america,

german chancellor still thinks that dialogue is the way forward to people that the, sorry, i don't see these talks as an idea of giving the russian president any kind of reward. i would like to remind all of us that even during the cold war there was always dialect and channels of communication are open and it's better if the commission and the council president have a channel of communication open with russia instead of individual countries going it alone because after all, we would like to have a coordinated and concerted view that is express towards russia. i believe there is no drummer in the fact that there is no consensus on arranging the summit soon. it is more important to maintain this agenda on russia, tide, and preserve unity as division, makes us wico despite those comments, the commission precedent. ursula vaughan delane is still suggesting that europe is putting on a united front. we are right now in a negative spiral,

and we need to brace for further downturn. so we agreed to push back. when russia targets the european union on what we stands for when it violates human rights. to constrain russia, when it attempts to undermine our interests. and we will engage russia when it is in our interest to do so to achieve our goals. for example, if we talk about climate change, or if we talk about public health, we'll russia for its part had said it was open to the idea of a summit and it also believes that dialogue is the way forward. russia also saying that he's committed to improving relations with the european block. however, the idea of moving that summit off the table as a possible way food was described as not being particularly helpful, mind the spokes person for the russian foreign ministry. the russian federation regret that you are a structural evade professional dialect with moscow on the topics that caused them

. concern for relations between russia and the you have been frosty for some time. diplomats on both sides have been expelled from various countries. and of course, those sanctions have been in place for a long time as well as now that being the cool for potential new sanctions against russia. all leaders may have signed that declaration saying that they know essentially looking for summit with russia in the near future. but it is clear that some countries may decide now to go alone and do their own thing. particularly with chancellor anglo merkel saying that for her dialogue was important. and even without summit, they were of the format that could be perceived and explored. rustles based on political analyst, professor john, that brace montes says, conflict with russia also ends up hurting the. you should also look at what the bose are saying. we are not going to elevation we unless they give up on me,

they give back to me, i do thing, which means that they want to have good relation to this guy coming. he's, he's the guy and i mean you just never up and so pretty good to be on the lead you so just to the lack of diplomacy and also on the boat, it's nothing. it's the music. i don't think there's any economic passion behind that because it will be much better for them to a good question. my call you see my cost is more important to maintain the unity of your but nevertheless, i'm going to have a relationship between these. i wanted to, in fact, it just means that you have these making tells you that's what the british holidaymakers facing, growing threat of spending their summer at home. europe with germany at the forefront is considering a 2 week quarantine for tourists from the country amid fears. the delta variant there is spreading fast, but some in the you are not happy as ortiz shot edwards dusty explains. well, jose for brits abroad may be in doubt this summer despite the u. k. jesse yesterday,

announcing more countries added to the case, greenlee stops. now, as the power lies totally with europe and quite fearful that the whole continent is almost treading on thin ice, with the rise of the delta variant and they're blaming the bread for it as a result that questioning, contemplating and considering and forcing this mandatory quarantine in for any british taurus, movement them off in our country. if you come from great britain, you have to go into quarantine. that's not the case in every european country. and that's what i would like to see. we must be vigilant because the much talked about delta variance is coming, which spreads much more rapidly than the other variance and affects people who are not the vaccinated or who only have had one dose. for me, one of the issues of discussion is to be really taken coordinate to decisions in terms of opening borders to 3rd countries. so france and germany are leading that

push to try and punish britain for the spread of the delta vary. and that also doing all the e u member states to follow suit as well, but it is raising eyebrows because yes, the indian delta baron is much more prevalent here in the united kingdom, but it's don't like it doesn't exist in those countries as well. in fact, the indian varian accounts around 70 percent of cases in some parts of the region in france, in many hotspots, like greece, spain, and portugal. they still have issues themselves with the delta v r, and yet they are still welcoming brits into the country. now portugal vo says it will do anything with the e. u to sides, wilds, countries like spain, hence even prepare for a bus stop with the blog. if it tries to deny brits entry. hopefully we can begin to receive british tourists and we don't have any restrictions and tories from the u. k. the moment they are the ones who are placing restrictions on people when they return. so at a fast balance,

it may seem like it makes sense to try and impose this quarantine for british tourists. however, when we cross checks, things like the testing regime here in the u. k. with other countries, it's totally in comparable. apparently the youth has testing around 10 times more people than in germany. therefore, inevitably, more people will be recorded as infected much less so than in other countries that are not testing as much. now, these would be the u. k. testing program is of course the vaccination rollout as well, which is doing incredibly well at this point. around 43000000 people have received the dose of the vaccination with the government. still maintaining the vaccine roll out program is the ticket out of the pandemic. currently, it is down to individual e u member states to decide on the rules governing that borders. we are moving its speed through vaccination program to help us cub this latest fair. and we will continue to have discussions with our european partners on the reopening of

international travel. but we're very confident the tar vaccination program is providing a good way forward. so pressure on europe to kickstart their. 2 economy once again and of course tourism is very much the heart of it, but there's also pressure on the european union to have a united front. and that could see the brits are going to have this. i'm a counselor again the chair of the institute of travel and tourism told us he expects britain to fight for its citizens right to holiday abroad. it's very disappointing. germany, poland, and italy have unilaterally imposed currency and restrictions and it is disappointing. in the life of the, the e u announcement of your digital koby passport, which is going to start on the 1st of july, which will enable any of the 27 countries or inhabitants of any of the country. 7 countries to travel with complete freedom and impunity. from one country to another . now billy went on part of the e. u,

but i would very much hope that our government would be given the fact that we've, we've got the best vaccination roll out, that our government would be pressing the you to say ok for our citizens that are, that are double jam. please, please, please, can we have the same same recognition facilities to travel? now the u. f. media has become the world's lead to trusted and has seen sharp falls in viewers and readers. this, according to a study by britons oxford university, the poll of almost a 100000 people around the globe found that finland has left to the top spot with 2 in 3, their believing their media. by contrast, researchers said that coverage of the pandemic by us outlets contributed to less than 30 percent of of now trusting them. and that collapse marks a massive drop in just a few years. just 4 years ago, almost 4 and 10 americans still had trust in their news organizations. journalist

and r t host chris hedges says that u. s. media now puts pleasing its audience above telling the truth. the commercial model of the us media is to cater to a specific demographic with the rise of the internet in all turn, it is sources. these traditional news outlets could no longer reach abroad audience because they didn't have a monopoly. and therefore, they decided to go after a particular demographic. and now what you've done is pit demographic against demographic, whether it's m s, nbc fox news, cnn. they've become partisan catering to their particular demographic and what it wants to hear, but often at the expense of the truth, the oxford university report confirms that americans are deeply divided on each media outlet almost as many distrust cnn as trust in the left leaning network. the

figures are almost identical for its rival m s. nbc and fox news suffers one of the worst trust ratings of all chris hedges. again says their policies are only making matters worse. it's going to get worse because the commercial model, and these are commercial enterprises depends on, not only catering to that a particular demographic, but also demonizing, the other demographic. while these media outlets are designed to polarize the public, because commercially, they're designed to loop back to feedback to their viewers, or listeners or readers what it is they want to hear their own proclivities, their own prejudices. and that's the commercial model it's been created. it's kind of, you know, hate versus hate. whether that's sean hannity, one side, or rachel, matto and the other. they all do the same thing. but it's not journalism. it's just,

you know, per last for vaudeville masquerading, his journalism still ahead. ceiling in seattle. there's anger at 2 gay activists for questioning a black pride groups. controversial moved to charge white visitors a fee to join in that's among our stories after a short break. this is our international the o. russia, china relations are strong and getting deeper. we are told this is dangerous for the washington lead world. is it? why are moscow in beijing moving closer together? is it miscalculations of the washington consensus? have anything to do with it? is that china, russia, a liar made in america? the media, a reflection of reality in

a world transformed what will make you feel safer type relation or community. ah, you're going the right way. where are you being that somewhere which direction? what is true? what is fake in the world to corrupted. you need to this end. ah, so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah, ah, welcome back. this is our t international. now as the last us troops pack up and prepared to leave afghans, dan, after 20 years of war, joe biden has hosted the country's president and his former foe african stands

forces are struggling to repel taliban advances as its partnerships with the u. s. enters a new face, you know, or choose from every leaving for support. staff can stand is not in need of support and maintenance of their helping maintain their military as well as economic and political support. the gradual pullout has already seen the taliban advance in multiple directions, seizing more slogs of land. the militants now control a 3rd of the country, including areas surrounding the capitol and a border crossing in the north. the group has reportedly also captured ammunition and weapons left by retreating forces and authorities have resorted to utilizing volunteers to form anti taliban militias. the un, special representative for afghanistan has warned america's rapid pace of withdrawal risks upsetting the country's political balance. the mid april announcement, the ball international troops will be withdrawn in the coming months,

sent a seismic tremor through the afghan political system and society at large. the withdrawal decision was expected, but its speed with the majority of troops now already withdrawn, was not more than 50 of afghanistan's $370.00 districts have fallen since the beginning of may. most jest tricks have been that have been taken. surround provincial capitals suggesting that the taliban are positioning themselves to try and take these capitals. one foreign forces are fully withdrawn. back when donald trump was still the us commander in chief washington, said the 1st of may 2021 as the deadline to bring troops home. that statement came against the backdrop of talks between the afghan government and the taliban. in doha, when joe biden took over, he postponed the complete pull out, eventually,

resetting it to september the 11th of this year. but the pentagon now says that timeframe it may be flexible as the us defense. secretary continues to monitor the situation. as we said from the very beginning, while there is a schedule, we're mindful that that schedule could fluctuate and changes as conditions change too. so i can't speak to any specific recommendations he's making about the taliban advances. but i can tell you that, that he's looking at the situation every day with a fresh set of eyes to see if we know the, the pace that we're setting is the appropriate pace for the kinds of capabilities that we think we need to. again, conduct a safe and orderly retro great, independent consultant on u. s. foreign policy. robert naming says the withdrawal of the troops is inevitable . the american people were done with this war a long time ago. there's no question that the u. s. is going to withdraw in the

long run, what differences are made if they withdraw the us troops now or next month for the month after that if postponing the inevitable, you tell them have ambitions outside of afghanistan, or which they've never indicated, or if they hyper al qaeda or similar groups that have ambitions outside of afghanistan, which they did before, 2001. now they agreed in the agreement, the trump and ministration that they wouldn't harbor. we'll see if they fall through it now. but even if they don't, or even if they've fall through it, partially, the assumption should not be keeping us troops in afghanistan must be the default unless there's 0 threat from afghanistan. the right question is, what's the correct policy to minimize risk?

we can't keep us troops everywhere where there might be a potential threat the united states some day. and it's not necessarily the most effective strategy. giving jobs to his nearest and dearest god, donald trump, into hot water during his presidency. however, it seems that the bite administration may not be much better despite claims to the contrary by the whitehouse. our poly blanco comments, an impetus that's true. why i liked nepotism. i was a fan of the guy, but at least donald trump was on the knows about it. seriously, remember all of these new stories? the president was turning to his family to fill out his presidential staff ministration. announcing talk at trump will have a new role as a presidential advisor, the president son in law, jared kush nor was given access to some of the country's most sensitive secrets. donald trump's golf caddy is the white house director of social media. now his long

time body guard is the director of oval office operations. there is with the pope when it turns out things aren't much different in the bite and administration just like the previous administration. current whitehouse office seemed to have few scruples about hiring their own progeny. take, for example, this guy, steve rich, se he's a former obama advisor and an ex lobbyist who is now the counselor to the president, a pretty big job in vitamins administration. presumably that's why the prolific were chessy has secured government jobs, but not one, not 2, but 3 of his kids, j. j rich se, who graduated from college last year in 2020, had been hired as a special assistant in the office of legislative affairs in january shannon re chassis that the reject his daughter became the deck p t associate director of the

office of the social secretary at the white house, that's one hell of a title on daniel chassis that steve rich as he's older son, he's a senior advisor in the office of the under secretary of state for arms control and international security. and if that isn't enough, steve, or check, he has a problem that i won't just hasn't been hired by the boys in administration. he is an uber successful washington lobbyist. wonder why i'm jeff. just secured, i'm a client of critics say, the super rich etc. brothers pose a threat to biden's, suppose it ethical image, but the retest is just the most glaring and the most ridiculous example of nepotism in the white house. kathy russell, the director of presidential personnel has gone unset a great example by at the very least of not stopping the hiring of her own daughter . sarah, don't alone on the white house national security council don't. and on graduated

from college in 2019. so that's another lum jr role, that's gone to a staff as kids and get this sarah, don't uncle and mom. kathy russell's brother in law mike don't alone. also happens to be a senior. ready advisor to joe biden, and this isn't the only saw key operating in the white house who's saying jen has a sista gold. stephanie who's been a senior advisor at the health and human services department since march. wait, wait, this is good. according to the washington post, a white house official reportedly said that all those hired had adequate experience and were well qualified presumably. so a lot of other recent college graduates whose mommies and daddies don't work for joe biden. the well qualified spiel is such b. s that is even the man that was in charge of ethics on the bar rack. obama

walter shaw tweeted, i'm sorry. i know some folks don't like carrying any criticism of him, but it's really sucks. i'm disgusted. a lot of us work hard to t. m off to restore ethics to government and believe the promises this is a real to to us and government fx. and all this, despite the fact that joe biden used his 1st post election interview to declare that no one in our family and our extended family will be involved in any government undertaking or any foreign policy untrue to his wide, joe biden is actually the best behaved in his administration, he hasn't actually hired his own kids, but that probably because hundreds of bite and crack brought me to a place that i've never had been to before. i see people who wouldn't believe to gay community organizers have apologized

for complaining to authorities in the u. s. city of seattle about a black pride event, charging white people up to $50.00 to take part. the seattle human rights commission, which advises the city council, told philip lipson and charlotte, the fever, that the event does not violate their rights and issue to rebuke it to the pair who organized a parallel l g b t. event. we would like to recommend, if possible, that you educate yourself on the harm. it may cause seattle's black, indigenous and people of color in your pursuit of a free ticket to an event that is not expressly meant for you and your entertainment. the taking black pride event has stood by its decision to charge white participants anywhere from $10.00 to $50.00 and says the fee will help keep it free of charge for black and brown trans and gay people. but journalist and commentator chadwick moore says it is

a prime example of reverse racism in today's america is sort of things are kind of a flagrant civil rights violation. but of course, the civil rights act and everything that came after doesn't really apply anymore when you're discriminating against white people, basically, which is very funny because a lot of do through the birth of say they live in a rental country. that white supremacy and minorities are treated, which obviously is not the case at all. that's if you're in any kind of systemic level. so now we see that outright discrimination. it's hateful, it ugly is. it's bizarre. and one group did try to call them out and say that this is just racism. you get charged people money based on the color of their skin. and. 5 now they've been forced to apologize and they've been bullied into the mission by the whole racist organization. so on americans, but of course that doesn't matter to these people. they hate america. they want to

see the country destroyed and burned to the ground and remade. and what image we don't know that does it for me, the siren 31 minutes. i'll be back with another full fresh look to noose or international me the the join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me . i still think the cops right on police report on december 2020 a group of anti finishes. fill out

a film crew access for 3 months. 3rd row, like if people, organization, it's an idea that must be opposed, that's channel out the game ground. they make their faces. but they can say what they believe and we believe in helping our community. we believe that fascism is one of the major threats to the united states as gotten grooven. this is a chance to see who and teeth are really are. in order for me. my 1st amendment rights and say that my life matter, i have to be on to the teeth that that's all america. we can't trust the police. we can't trust the government. we can't trust anyone except ourselves to protect ourselves in christ. certainly the british empire, perfect the logistics of the sun never set on the british empire either dominant domination of the c. c. like right. and so the u. s. that what china is saying.
