time around. it's definitely worth read. what the russian president vladimir putin was up to less than 24 hours before a crucial video conference with joe biden, which is a mega important at this point. well, um his meeting with the render modi's just wrapped up. it's already late in the evening here in new delhi, but they definitely took their time while i eyebrows are being raised in the west over our close partnership between moscow and new delhi moscow once shout. it's got friends in asia while the western countries, most the, the members of nato, are accusing russia of a military build up in ukraine and various kinds of attempts, ads, aggression. now, when it comes to the, the ways india and russia are cooperating, we can simply look at the statement,

the joint statement by the leaders, which has been published on the kremlin website. it's got $99.00 paragraphs that are about the ways of the 2 countries cooperate. and also some of the future plans are outlined. india has a contract to get hold of the russian anti missile defense systems. some of the most advanced, the as 400 russia has been upgrading a nuclear power plant here in india. and also during this summit in particular, it's been agreed that the production of the collage of the most classic of machine guns will begin in this country. now, i was the only the international journalist allowed inside a seek seek me in my shoulder during the meeting. and while the 2 leaders were

talking, i was able to speak to the crumbling spokesperson. dmitri pascall about this special relationship in cooperation were military technical corporation is a very important component of our bilateral relations with india. and as the president said today at the beginning of his compensation with mr. moody, these relations are quite unique in their essence because we jointly not only develop but also establish joint production of high tech military products. these are well known missiles that we're making together, and now the production of kalashnikov as being established here. and other equipment. this is extremely important and this is an advanced format of corporation. this is dimitri pasco, speaking exclusively to r t. now i can tell you that there was a special plan outlined for out operation in the military field between india and russia. now that has been extended for another 10 years now. the

russian foreign minister was here as well. the russian minister defense they met their counterparts again at this speaks volumes of the top is the level of this valued and privileged partnership. as the 2 sides are calling it, that this point that we do understand though, also that under prime minister modi india has been expanding ties with the u. s. but it seems that it doesn't want to go too far and maintain that balance because it's aligns with russia, asia, and in the indo pacific is very important of geopolitics, expert. dr. sharon chileya believes the talks between putin annuity are a clear sign of the strength of their partnership. i think for russia it helps to show he's that he's not only china. he also has india on its site. and that helps to count better. you know, any western adams to isolate russia,

india has never gone along with any american, any ships to isolate or little more sanctions audible why court russia did that in 2014, also often of the crimea, or was it integrated to russia? i called on my administration arg, reminded that to we should know join sanctions and a wide corporation. we know what did that, and i share school by years. so we would hope that makes sense. prevails. we are also talking to the west on the issue of sanctions threatened sanctions on india because we're buying the as $400.00 from russia and we have a category for them. with russia, it's a special department should we can never abandon them. and in an exclusive interview with her a correspondent to leave a tranquil mentioned earlier at the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pess cough also spoke about tomorrow's call. between the russian leader and his american counterpart. he said the talks come amid some fairly aggressive rhetoric against

moscow. susan is a joke and we are preparing for the video conference to morrow. president putin and president biden will be having a talk. this is a very complicated movement for the talks. the rhetoric coming from the u. s. and e u leaders sounds pretty aggressive wishy plenty of fake news about russia allegedly planning an aggressive invasion. at the same time, no one talks to key if no one wants key of against even thinking of a military intervention in the dynette can lugens conflict. and given the complicated background of us russian relations, it will be a difficult talk for the leaders. now we see that nato demonstrates its extremely aggressive position. we see mr. stoughton bugs, rhetoric. we see the different, you se, there's rhetoric. first, they will say that they don't accept any red lines. second, they say that native will do whatever it once furred. it will do it on whatever territory it wants forth. all of this is aimed to deter russia. we don't like that

. we do everything to ensure our own interests under previous administrations when at least something constructive remained in our relations. our countries had reached an agreement to establish a secure video cool line for the highest level contact. it had been abandoned until now, although it's technical working order had been maintained. but now i think since everyone has been using the video cool format for the past 2 years, we decided to revive this line, especially since it allows us to discuss the most he cred topics. you can. yeah, that line is going to be used on tuesday. now as the kremlin spokesmen mention, their claims have been spreading that russia's poise to invade ukraine. moscow is rubbish, the accusation saying they burn no relation to reality. russia dub, it's the americans who are acting belligerently in the region that says media politicians ruptured off speculation about

a possible war. according to some reports, european intel agencies gave the version of events, little credibility, until washington's that then many allies were not convinced that serious things were happening. we were surprised about this intelligence gap. how and why the u. s . we're seeing things that we were not seeing if i have to compare soundbites from before this info and then at the nato meeting and rega, there was a big shift towards the u. s. version of things. yeah, the new wave of tensions come, as i say, of the us russia presidents prepared to hold off the video call tomorrow, choose they. but joe biden looks in no mood to negotiates. yes. oh, of course, the diplomacy is out and red lines of that to be crossed when the big bad wolf is planning a land grab ring

a bell. a similar warning came in the spring when russian troops gathered for snap training exercises. and again, when military drills were conducted in crimea, and only recently moscow was supposedly the mastermind of a qu, in key of remember the currency of no mean either because it didn't happen. in fact, none of the predictions came true, but this time apparently it's different. this time, it's the real deal, and to feed the fair, they're even drawing up the criminal battle plans the new year offensive. and for the umpteenth time this year, russia is forced to defend the presence of its own troops on its own land. russia is not a threat to any country. the deployment of russian troops on the national territory is our sovereign roy and no one's business. it is nato on its members states a recklessly moving their military forces and infrastructure to the russian borders . so what is washes red line,

us spy pained jetting towards russia's borders. passenger jets with hundreds of civilians on board, diverted because the nato re complain was to close and wouldn't respond to ground control. the actions by the u. s. air force created the threat to civilization and the fact that the catastrophe was averted over the backseat doesn't mean that the u . s. and nato can go on the risk in people's lives with impunity. the latest american war ship sailing into waters bordering russia. what issues was nature? you know, a us warship has now entered the block, see what we can see it through binoculars will the crosshairs of other than system shoot him a better one or multiple missile systems just across the it was a bit more to look at where nato's military infrastructure is located just a short distance from our borders. in romania, poland bush planting. we saw defense systems have already been deployed and they can easily be converted into offensive missile systems that targets us. it only takes a matter of minutes to change the software. now instinct tells me that if

a russian destroy was spotted steaming into new york harbor, it would be a flaming red line for washington. but believe it or not, for us all, this is a pink line at best. the real issue is nato, or rather nato's expansion. and expanded it has from this humble state in 1990 to this empire in 2020. now back in the day, russia was promised, nater would grow not one inch eastward of berlin. well, that's pullin so no, it's not an inch. it's over a 1000 kilometers. and now it's knocking at rushes door. ukraine joining nato and we've been talking about it for a long time. is a red line for us. the continual drawing of keys into the military orbit of the alliance, the de facto stuart of nature's assimilation of the military infrastructure of this country. and the desire to turn it into a foothold for confrontation with russia could all cause severe negative

consequences and destabilize the military and political situation in europe. but lucky for nato, it's got a gas out of jail free card because in politics, well promises are made to be broken. where is that? where is that written down? where is that from? was written down. and under the rumor, this friend of mine wanted rich girl, which it didn't call erica, want us not to go in. in the meantime, the u. s. unfazed by it terrible track record of predicting russian behavior is covering its bases and drawing up some economic sanctions. you know, just in case, after all, nothing screams diplomacy more than getting your threats in a row before high stakes meeting. ah, and if all these talk of invasion has got you wondering what's really going on and why not check out the views of scott river on our website. the former u. s. intel office shirt. does it all apply? what various outlets are selling? read all about it and r t dot com. and still ahead here on there are many homes

make light work. the president of the red cross tells our t cooperation of vaccines is the only way to beat that pandemic up story. on more few short. ah ah, with

join me every thursday on the alex salmon? sure. i'll be speaking to guess from the world of politics. sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. ah ah, looking back, new york is set to become the 1st u. s. city to require coven vaccines for all private sector workers, merck building, blasio sais. the rule will take effect later this month,

just days before his term ends. well, that's cross live now. to ortiz, kill had not been in new york. caleb, it's been called a drastic measure business to say there were a blindsided by it. tell us more indeed, but the reaction it has caused while the outgoing mayor of new york city bill de blasio is presenting himself as a national leader in the fight against cobit 19. and now he's taking the dramatic move of being the 1st city in the united states to implement a city wide vaccine mandate for private businesses. now he cited the arm across variant, so he cited our cold weather and the upcoming holidays, et cetera. this is the outgoing mayor of new york city, bill de blasio announcing this bold move. as of today, we're going now say 1st in the nation measure, our health commissioner will nouns, a vaccine mandate for private sector employers across the board.

now all city employees have already had a mandate, teachers, firefighters, police officers, emergency medical professionals, others have all been already required to have vaccinations. furthermore, all religious and private schools in the city have also had a mandate for all of their staff. but now this takes it to yet another level, and a $184000.00 private businesses are going to be required to have a vaccine mandate to be coven. 1900 vaccinations will become mandatory for private businesses that receive no government subsidies or not in any way connected with the state or the city. now this has created a bit of a fire storm reaction. take a listen. may a de blasio will impose a 1st in the nation vaccine mandate for all private sector workers in new york city . build up last year. isn't a mayor heater tyrant just spoke to catherine wilde,

the president of a prominent n y c business group. we were blindsided. there is no full warning, no discussion, no idea about whether it's legal or who he expects to enforce it. new york city announced his covey vaccine mandate for private businesses going when no city has gone before, because it's potentially unenforceable, and will probably get stuck in the courts until well off to the med to parts at the end of the year. now at this point, the mayor build diblasio expects that the courts will uphold his mandate. now there was already a situation where joe biden's federal mandates were appealed in court temporarily put on hold, but then upheld and so little diblasio expects. the courts will not strike this mandate down that it will stand now. it's interesting to know that this mandate will go into effect on december 27th, which is 4 days before new york city mayor build diblasio leaves office and has been replaced by eric adams. the new mayor who's been elected in the recent vote

now eric adams says that he plans to sit down and talk with people who are concerned about these vaccine mandates. the new mayor says he wants to listen to people who have concerns wants to bring people together. well, that's going to be quite difficult if you take a look at the reaction people across the city or having appears eric adams, maybe not quite sure what he's getting himself into when he wants to sit down with people who appear to be quite angry about this mandate and data could well be frustrating christmas for many our teeth kill him up and bring this right through that. russia has reported its 1st cases of the new cove at variance on a chrome. it was detected in 2 out of 10 people who just returned from south africa . the new mutation which was 1st detective in southern africa, has been steadily spreading. more than 40 countries have recorded cases, the new strain is said to be more contagious than previous ones,

although at present that's not linked to any dense at all. scientists are working to jump to existing vaccines to fight the new strain microbiologist di or he does. he can explain to us how the new strain works against immune systems. so i'm looking very carefully and i know people are other people are also looking very carefully at the data coming out of south africa to get a glimpse of what will happen in russia. and right now, the growth of the, the spread of this virus against the background of immunity to delta does not look good. there is a very little date on that, unfortunately, so far. one piece of data when we have is that the people who got infected previously with delta are more likely to get re inspected with on the kron compared to the people who call people who got alpha green. so on the chrome looks somewhat different from the viewpoint of our news system up now

the delta and all when for this there is good. and so that might mean that we may need some additional explaining to the immunity of what the bar sees of that is actually the same parts. and maybe the vaccines will ultimately have to be tweaked or that from the health error. you point, assuming it's probably be a good thing because you know, there is 40 percent of its unaided people that we have here in russia are definitely unacceptable. we have a functional, ah, but seen with proven efficiency, brought both within and outside russia, just put it and the people that really should take it will link to that failure to provide equal worldwide access to vaccines may result in new coven strains, emerging. that's the warning from the president of the international federation of the red cross. in an interview with r t earlier, francesco rocca discussed not just the war on cove it but also the poland baller

roost migrant crisis and there were some county 9 european union. for example, we had many saying that there dosa, while in africa, we sta, louisa raised that tisa temper sandy moodle need engrossed with 0 percent. so something that says morgana said that we are ready to rule so far. we are ready to scale up our activities in africa, but daddy shoes about our audited the, the vaccines to have access to the vaccines. we have to put pressure on the pharmaceutical companies. there, you will be an union, the united states, u. k. we invested the b on solve dollars, sir ins researcher due to the dual to make this vaccine accessible. so why the poorest counting the developing counties that, that does not derive that to have access. so i think these, it should be a common gold, not something that said belong to the, to the far my central young company is they be in india,

bellamy added on them. it has been politicized to look at they did, they did the level of the fake news or their day even political lisa had to spread . busy around the world. so this is something that unfortunate has been pretty decisive bukasa. it has to do with the fear of the people. it's up to the political leader to follow they, they advise is coming from they scientific community to least and not to them, to walk with them, to avoid the total, to vote at the, on the same level and diesel. so the media is an important responsibility. this and tv community and people the media and the governments are continuing to ring the alarm bells over this very end. but we're having the w h o, the chief australian medical officer and the south african medical association saying don't panic. what do you say we should follow the. the advisors coming from the debris had shaw in this and given community so dwarfed and a political lead us and the government's out substituting go there. this and given

community in dealing with a call in 19 and, and it is day to deal to may davie and sat in terms of our over ah, did, did, did the reason why we have these new very answer. so we have cold. it will, you may be the incident that without, i brought my boxy nation without giving access to any human beings up to the vaccines. the risk of new volumes, sir, lays age of very high aga, and we can not blame. most of these is another aspect of it for, as is at nissan of concern. we kinda, we can not blame a day. so having a scientist, a tool to hook for a heavy anger. i opened the door to the scientific community about these new discovery galaxy. i think was i was with a dea, unfortunately is not working as expected. so the number of distribution out of the vaccine, so i'll go on my callback, so he is, i ism, is not so high aga and i, we, we expected much more ride them, some general,

she from the international community and day. and they had the idea that was a good idea. he was due to give their priority and then some distribution, my callback sir, to the medical doctors to the nazis that are working on the front line. but unfortunately, this is working or less. this is keep a sense or fire. so then i'm by saturday, very, very law and that is issa eyes and i did aspect of the international committee should take as easily in consideration. so we have to do more intensive distribution and giving access the bellow, split cross with this with both with international federation. i think at the moment they're doing a i a good job of course, disease now not to meet tame or long term solution idea hosted in a shelter era. but so far they are in a warm environment and, and we are engaging in that discussion. we de made a man the government of mendoza to will to find either solution out for them and put on the unfortunately we don't have access said to the board to unfortunately

i'm not even nineties. i said he's on a full consent from my says that i'm not surprised about european union now. and there were just county ira reacting in dealing with the human beings. and i'm wondering if we are losing got a lot of humanity because he's not about every county has the right to say that policies for migrations. we have not question. he some outdated, the humanity on which we have to, to treat every human beings. this is the only point that we are raising that britain could soon after pay literally double to hate. their home stand is according to you. k fuel poverty monitor an annual investigative report, citing a planned increase to the energy price cup from next april. the cost of living in the u. k is at its highest level in a decade with household energy bills, the biggest driver, when the costs of essential services go up. those on the lowest incomes get heads
