ah, ah, russian president and indian prime minister wrap up top level talks in new delhi just a day before vladimir putin's planned video conference with joe biden kremlin spokesperson, who is in india with president putin slams nato's aggressive stance on moscow. dmitri pascall spoke exclusively to our t movie. jim still natasha. now we see that legal demonstrations extremely aggressive positions. she missed skulking bugs, rhetoric. we see that many different usb does rhetoric. you don't like them, but we do everything to ensure. oh, interesting. shared with that's the message from president biden. as western media goes into overdrive with allegations of an eminent russian invasion of ukraine

ah, broadcasting live from moscow, russia, this is our t international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. vladimir putin and his indian counterpart have concluded their bilateral talks in new delhi, following the summit. a comprehensive joint statement was issued covering everything from military cooperation to health care partnerships. it's only the 2nd time the russian president has traveled abroad since the beginning of the pandemic . artillio tranquil reports from india's capital to understand russia's international priorities. this han allowed to understand where moscow stand on the global chess board. it just worth realizing what the russian president vladimir potent was up to less than 24 hours before the crucial. i'd even say mega vital video conference with the u. s. president joe biden. he went to new delhi and left

the indian capital late in the night and you only arrived in saw cheap russia early in the morning. in the meantime, in the west, mainly by nato countries, moscow is being accused of plotting some sort of invasion of ukraine or a rust accused of being aggressive elsewhere in the world. and calls are a very loud to once again isolate russia. now a while all of this is happening, moscow wants to show that it's got friends in asia and it's ready to expand these kind of ties if the western countries aren't looking forward to building partnerships with russia. in fact, of latimer pollutant and a wrench or muddy are always calling each other friends and they've had this warm relationship for years now already. but of course, not only about did the personal friendship between the 2 leaders and

a joint statement that was already published on the kremlin website. there are $99.00 paragraphs, outlining the things that the either have already been done together or that will be done together in the near future. this shows how much data india and russia c i to why at this point and how they want to increase cooperation in so many fields ranging from science at nuclear cooperation space exploration. but most importantly, a military ties as well. this is what i asked of the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pess. gov. about when i was speaking him exclusively in the palace behind my shoulder injury, we're a military technical corporation is a very important component of our bilateral relations with india. and as the president said to day 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 joins 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 with special privileged valued partnership. these are the words that are constantly being used by the members of the 2 delegations. i can remind you that india is buying rushes arms. india is buying the most advanced missile defense system. russian made the as so $400.00 russia is upgrading a nuclear power plant. in this country, a new delhi is ready to invest up to a $1000000000.00 in russia and in russia's far east. in particular, this is of course, something that is raising quite a few eyebrows in the west. and if we're talking this crucial military operation

frayed in arms and weapons, there's a special program that outlines planned for a 10 year period. the previous one has just expired. and i can tell you that moscow in india have signed a new one, which is going to be valid until 2031. and yes, india has agreed to assemble the famous russian collage. think of guns too. he spoke with a g o pl politics expert who believes the talks between putin and modi are a clear sign of the strength of their relationship. i think for russia, it helps to show is that it is not only china. it also has india on each site, and that helps to conquer. you know, i knew western adams to isolate russia. india has never gone along with any american. any ship needs to isolate, or lou embossed sanctions audible. why court russia did that in 2014, also, or after the crimea was reintegrated to russia. but i called on my administration

are reminded that the, we should know a join sanctions and why got russia, we know what did that. and i show school by years. so we would hope that makes sense, reveals we are also talking to the west on the issue of sanctions threatened sanctions on india because we're buying the s 400 from russia and we have a category for them with russia, it's a special department. sure, we can never abandon them in our cheese exclusive interview, crumbling spokesperson to be triple cough, spoke about tuesdays upcoming call between the russian president and his american counterpart. he said it comes, it made fairly aggressive rhetoric against moscow. susan is, did you consider preparing for the video conference tomorrow? president putin, president biden will be having a tool. my mentors, this is a very complicated movement for the talks. the rhetoric coming from as the u. s. and e u leaders sounds pretty aggressive if we see plenty of fake news about russia allegedly planning and aggressive invasion. had the same time,

no one talks to key in. no one von ski have against even thinking of military intervention in the dynette can lugens conflict. and given the complicates of background of us russian relations, it will be a difficult talk for the leaders. now we see that nato demonstrates it's extremely aggressive position. we see mister stoughton bugs rhetoric when we see the different, you se, there's rhetoric 1st, they all say that they don't accept any red lines. second, they say that nato will do whatever it wants 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 insure our own interests issue under previous administrations when at least something constructive remained in our relations. our countries had reached an agreement though establishing a secure video cool line for the highest level contact. it had been abandoned until

now vote its technical working order had been maintained. but now i think since everyone has been using the video games format for the past 2 years, we decided to revive this line, especially since it allows us to discuss the most secret topics, video companion as the crumbling spokesperson mentioned, their claims have been spreading that russia's poise to invade ukraine. moscow, however, however, has denied those accusations, saying they bear no relation to reality. and that it's actually the americans who are acting belligerently in the region that says media and politicians hype up speculation about a possible war. according to some reports, european intel agencies gave their version of events, little credibility until washington stepped in. many allies were not convinced that serious things were happening. we were surprised about this intelligence gap. how and why the u. s. was seeing things that we were not seeing if i have to compare soundbites from before this info. and then at the nato meeting in riga, there was

a big shift towards the u. s. version of things. as we mentioned, the new wave of tensions come as the us and russia per and russian presidents prepare to hold a video call on tuesday. joe biden seems to be in no mood to do to negotiate. yes, oh, of course the diplomacy is out and red lines are there 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 the qu, in key of remember the corrective 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 a 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 the shows was nature, you know, a us warship has now entered the block scene. william, we can see it through an oculus school to cross offense uses used him a better one or multiple missile systems just across the it worked a bit more to look at where nato's military infrastructure is located. just a short distance from other orders in romania whole english plants. and we saw nathan systems have already been deployed and they can easily be converted into offensive missile systems and targets us. it only takes a matter of minutes to change the software and his vision. 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,

nato would grow not one inch eastward of berlin. wel, that's berlin. so no, it's not an inch. it's over a 1000 kilometers. and now it's knocking out 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 gets out of jail free card because in politics, well promises are made to be broken. there is that where is that written down? where is that from was written down. and under the rumor this when a man wanted rich girl, which it didn't call which car one aspect remember to go in. in the mean time, the us unfazed by its 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 a high stakes meeting. last friday, russian air traffic control had to divert to passenger planes near ukraine to prevent a collision with us biplane. moscow accused washington threatening the safety of civil aviation and risking lives while the pentagon has now issued a statement on that, denying that it's plain, put anyone in danger. and if all the talk of you russia, ukraine conflict has got you wondering what's really going on? why not check out the views of scott ritter on our website? the former us intelligence office officer doesn't by what various outlets are selling. read all about it on r t dot com. meanwhile, kiev continues to push the moscow threat narrative. the defense ministers calling on the u. s. u. k. and canada to provide military support against the alleged risk

of a russian invasion. he's also warning of a potential migrant crisis. if war does actually break out. we spoke to political commentator, chris danbury, on why he thinks keith is becoming increasingly aggressive. ukraine is becoming more, more almost hysterical in demand if you like to join nato, and it should be supplied with high tech weapons by america in the west. so it is becoming more warm cervical because it's going to the situation and not getting what he wants to weigh in something a. so membership. but there are growing voices in the way. you are say, why is you create not being allowed to join nato? despite the fact was, is very clear, this is a red wine which russian will not allow it to be cross. good, simply, if you're creating was to join nato, a little over a 100 miles in some ways to 300 miles more still something russia is going to do with act suit transportation breaks. the problem is given to mikhail gorbachev.

nature will not. yeah, not a salons, any members, any of the former satellite states over the soviet union, eastern europe, and indeed the former soviet republics. i promised broke it and it was made ever, and that was, it was made white house has announced a diplomatic boycott of the 2022 winter olympics and beijing, citing concerns about a legend. human rights violations in china, as the by new ministration will not send any diplomatic or official representation to the beijing 2022 winter olympics and paralympic games given the peer scenes, ongoing, genocide and crimes against a humanity and john and other human rights abuses, the athletes on team usa have our full support will be behind them 100 percent, as we cheered them on from home, who will not be contributing to the fanfare of the games. the stand off comes amid

already tents. relations with washington, frequently accusing beijing of mistreating minority groups. earlier chinese media reported that it would be technically impossible for washington to stage a diplomatic boycott. given that no american diplomats had been invited to the games in the 1st place. us athletes will still can compete, however, and the i o c has said it respect biden's decision and reiterated the importance of leaving athletes out of politics. china has called the move and outright political provocation, but has given no details as yet to on how they may respond. speaking to r t a professor of international relations and politics at a university, and shanghai says it's a needless boy, caught by the biden administration. it's an unnecessary slide against paging. it looks like a reactionary attempt by a week president pandering to members of congress who encouraged this decision. but you know, it does signal that the buyer and ministration wants to politicize the olympics. somewhat similar to what we saw between the u. s. and the ussr during the cold war

. now this will indicate to many by does not subscribe the life experience a peaceful, athletic competition. we should keep in mind, however, that it's not a total boycott as your lead and noted. american athletes can still compete. furthermore, it's not as provocative as what we see from the us with respect to ukraine against russia or taiwan against mainland china, or how the us or the proliferation of nuclear weapon to australia. the bigger question now is whether other countries will follow washington fleet and imposed similar boycott and how china will respond. now in my opinion, i think it's a shame the us government won't be there to support it badly. and i hope i can avoid being sucked into this type of petty tit for tat nonsense that's coming from washington's route by the time and office at long before that still ahead. many hands make light work. the president of the red cross tells are key cooperation on vaccines is the only way to beat the pandemic. that story and more after the short

break me i oh, focused on ukraine. joe biden says, i don't accept any one's red line. russia's foreign minister southgate, margaret says the nightmare scenario of military confrontation is returning on this edition of the program, we examined the significance of both statements. ah ah

join me every posted on the alex sollen. sure. i'll be speaking to guess when the world politics, small business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. oh, we'll come back. now new york is set to become the 1st us sit each require mandate to require mandatory vaccinations for all private sector workers may or bill diblasio says the rule will take effect later this month. just days before his term ends. ortiz caleb mopping reports from new york. new york city mayor bill de blasio, who portrays himself as a national leader in the fight against colbert 19,

has taken a pretty bold move and announced a vaccine mandate for the whole city of new york. for all private businesses, he cited the on the kron variant as well as cold weather and seasonal fluids and other factors in making this decision. quite a big move from the new york city mayor, who is outgoing, he will soon be out of office. here is what he said. as of today, we're going now say, 1st in the nation, measure our health commissioner. well, now's a vaccine mandate for private sector employers across the board. now, vaccines are already required for all city employees that teachers, firefighters, police officers, emergency medical workers, etc. furthermore, they are required for the staff of all religious and private schools in new york city. but this new mandate will hit a 184000 private businesses across the city of new york. they will be required to have vaccinations for all of their employees. quite

a dramatic move and there's been quite a negative reaction and response may at a blast you would impose a 1st in the nation vaccine mandate for all private sector workers in new york city . bill diblasio isn't a mayor. he's a tyrant, just spoke to catherine wild, 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, a who he expects to enforce it. new york city announces covey vaccine mandate for private businesses going where no city has gone before, because it's potentially unenforceable, and will probably get stuck in the courts until well after the mid to parts at the end of the year. now the new york city mayor expects that this will survive any legal challenges. we already saw a situation where for a moment jo biden's, federal mandate was put on hold by the courts, but then later upheld in the court of appeal. and bill diblasio expects the same

exact expects that the courts will uphold this mandate and it will move ahead. now it's important to note the mandate will go into effect on december 27th, which is the day. it's actually 4 days before bill de blasio is set to leave office and be replaced by new york city. mayoral elect, eric adams, the new mayor, will be coming in and replacing bill de blasio 4 days after the mandate. now eric adams, the incoming mayor, who was elected in the vote a few months ago, says that he plans to meet with people who are critical of the mandate and listen to what they had to say. and if you taken notice of the tone in the city right now, and the anger that may prove to be a little bit more than he is bargaining for failure to provide equal access to vaccines worldwide may result in the emergence of new cobit strains. that's the warning from the president of the international federation of the red cross. and an interview with r t, francesco roco discussed not just the war on cobra, but also the polen beller is micro crisis. and there were

some county 9 european union, for example, we administer that there dosa. while in africa we sta, louisa raised that tisa temper, sandy boonies, engrossed with 0 percent salt. something that says morgana said that what we're ready to rule so far, we are ready to scale up our activities in africa. but daddy, the shoes about validated the, the vaccines to have access to the vaccines. we have to put pressure on the pharmaceutical companies. are there you will be an union, the united states, u. k. we invested the b unsolved 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, from a central young company is the beginning. there. believe me, i did it on them. it has been politicized to look at they, 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 their santini 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 to the media is an important responsibility. yes, 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 and his and d. v. community saw dwarfed, and a political lead us and the government's out substituting a there this and given community in dealing with a call in 19 and,

and this is the 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 davy, the incident that without i brought my vaccination without giving access to any human beings up to the vaccines. the risk of new volumes sat leis age of very high aga, and we can not blame also, these is another aspect of it. for as is, it is of concern. we cannot, we cannot blame the south africa, scientists, a tool to hook for heavy anger or open the door to the scientific community about these new discovery galaxy i think was i was it with idea. unfortunately, it 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 sole high aga and i, we, we expected much more ride them. so of general she from the international community and there and they had the idea, it was a good idea. he was there to,

to give the priority and then of distribution by callback. so today medical doctors to the nazis that are working on the front line. and unfortunately this is workinger. lest if you keep a sense we'll fire. so then i'm, they said very, very, very low and that is is her eyes. and i did aspect of the international community should take as easily in consideration. so we have to do more intensive distribution and giving access the better was fred crossley this both with international federation. i see that the moment is dead doing a, a good job. of course disease now not tell me, take a long term solution that area hosted in a shelter area, but so far they are in a warm environment and, and we are engaging in the attic discussion we day in the governmental mendosa tool to find either solution. none of them and put on the unfortunately we don't have access said to the board to unfortunately am not even and it is i so he's on a full consent for myself that i'm not surprised about 30 european union now and

they were just county ira reacting in dealing with the human beings, this is and i'm wondering if you're losing global humanity because he's not about every county has the right to say that policies for migrations. we have not question it's about id, the humanity on which we have to, to treat every human beings. this is the only point that we are raising. russia is reported its 1st cases of the new alma crohn cove. it variant it was detected in 2 out of 10 people who had just returned from south africa. first detected in that country, the new mutation has been spreading with more than 40 countries having recorded cases. the new strain is said to be more contagious than previous ones, although at present it's not linked to any debts at all. scientists are working to adapt existing vaccines to fight it. and a microbiologist explained to us how the new variant works against immune systems. so i'm looking very carefully on,

i know people are other people are also looking very carefully the data coming out of south africa to get the glimpse of what will happen in russia. and right now, the growth of the, the spread of this virus against the big round of immunity to delta does not look good. there is a very little data 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 are how people who got alpha green sector. so on. the crown looks somewhat different from the viewpoint of our news system up now the delta and all when for this there in state. and so that might mean that we may need some conditional explaining to the immunity of what these pharmacies are. that is actually the same parts and maybe the vaccines we'll ultimately have to be

tweaked for that from the health care viewpoint vaccine mandates of probably be a good thing. because, you know, there is 40 percent of its native 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 what take and the people that really should take it. more news coming your way in just about half an hour. ah, ah ah, that money printing is driving up the energy costs and it's gonna force russia into the you. and for that to happen,

nato and american military's got it. exit germany. i call it air 1st. you say i'm crazy, but that's what i'm calling with . hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things considered. i'm peter labelle, focus on ukraine. joe biden says, i don't accept any one's red line. russia is foreign minister saturday. margaret says the nightmare scenario of military confrontation is returning on this edition of the program. we examined the significance of.
