it's remarkable, the smallest crisis talks between joe biden, have lemme put in a schedule for later on tuesday, triggered by tensions of ukraine and talk exclusively to the russian president spokesperson. just 3 to maybe, to the rhetoric coming from the u. s. and e. u leaders sounds pretty aggressive. we see plenty of fake news about russia allegedly planning an aggressive invasion. china shrugs off a u. s. boycott of its winter olympics, pointing out the american diplomats weren't even invited. as more european states impose mandatory vaccinations, this content sweeps the block with protests on the streets and politicians decrying what they brand troubling state coercion. ah,

oh my dear you watching alt international thanks for joining me. high stakes talks between the russian and us presidents will be taking place a little later today. i made ramp and speculation about the possible invasion of ukraine and increased nato activity in the black sea. in an exclusive interview with our tea, the kremlin spokesperson told us that the u. s. is becoming increasingly aggressive towards moscow. museums toneta shows too much. now we see that nato is taking an extremely aggressive position. we see mister stalsen bugs, rhetoric, we see the different u. s. leaders, rhetoric burst. they all say they don't accept any red lines. second, they say that nato will do whatever it wants. 3rd, it will do it on whatever territory it wants. 4th of all of this is aim to deter russia. we do not like that. we will do everything to insure our own interests at

large in vars now linelle, a very important statement was made and the ukraine defense minister interview to you. k media. he essentially called the u. s. canada and the u. k. military to the front lines war and put out there to do that by, by passing nato veneers. so can you tell us, well, how much of a breach is that light of the red lines lie to me? putin had to find more and then, well, we have heard similar statements from a number of european capitals, including as far as i know, a message from the british military that they were ready to send their troops over . not only those in training, but those in combat units as well. this is something we are obviously very concerned about. this is something we do not like, and it forces us to take some protective measures to defend our interests. ahead of today's call, joe biden, set the tone somewhat by saying he won't accept any red lines from vladimir putin at the same time. the white house says it's not seeking any conflict. allotted

stanley hawkins, tell me more about what's at stake. well, the president severely met once in person that was back in summer since then they've had various phone conversations, but this is the 1st time since at some of them you can face to face even if it is on line. and since then, retentions have a best remained at a constant level and it was deteriorated spiraling downwards. further down and read lines really have been the, the buzzword of the day here today. russia claiming that red line would be that certain types of weapons, missiles, and troops in ukraine or russian border. joe biden being quite caught brought saying he doesn't care about that, and he tends to do whatever he wants. and this comes amid unconfirmed reports. of course allegations about a military build up on the russian ukrainian border on russia's territory, but allegedly, and preparing for some sort of invasion at the end of january. that's what much the media frenzy has been with hang up. and in turn, the threat of sanctions,

once again coming up, joe biden, washington threatening sanctions against certain members of the russian government on of course, the so called nuclear option that's cutting off russia from the international banking swift payment system. that was something that was put on the table by washington, and some of it was sort of left there. now it's being actively discussed once again . so as we say, both sides accusing each other or facility of aggression, the russian president, spokesman, know me to pass golf again, dismissing these allegations or plan invasion as a simply hostile rhetoric into which the rhetoric coming from the u. s. and e. u. lead to sounds pretty aggressive. we see plenty of fake news about russia allegedly planning an aggressive invasion at the same time, no one talks the key of, nor warns key of against even thinking of a military intervention in it. and yet, and luc guns, conflict and given the complicates a background of us russian relations. it will be a difficult discussion for the leaders. the presidents obviously have the need to talk to each other, even in the most strained of moments when attitudes,

what i call rational or sober books, emotionally magnified. so is the escalation, get stronger every day than the president's. you obviously bad the responsibility, feel the need to discuss the issues the what, how stated ahead of that main thing that secretary blinking will be speaking to president of the school, the ukraine ahead of that video. cool. and also a press briefing. interesting of the wow. stated that the u. s, and i'm quoting here, doesn't see conflict with russia, but yet continues to threaten consequences for so called harmful actions by moscow . whatever that may mean. now you repeat leaders of also ship to make cool and russia to avoid to, to avoid deepening the ukrainian border crosses as this media hops up the threat of military action. and indeed, you claim this defense minutes. so that right cool for the deployment of a troops from the us, canada u. k. to the front lines to defend the gate, so called russian aggression. moscow of course, view things very differently. they view the russian coming from

a nato space that have built up troops on the border. so to summarize, it's quite hard to understand. what exactly will come from this meeting is unlikely that there will be some sort of groundbreaking decisions my. this will be more of a setting of tone of what direction if you like, between the russian and us presidents and both will be trying to assert that authority that well, the vision with trauma, us person, donald trump, joking that mismatch shop shouldn't be happening. it's not even fat says what we got, this is not a match that should even be allowed. this is take the new england patriots playing your high school football team. that's what you have right now. what they will be looking for is touching points of compromise and consensus here. if they do find them, we could see the escalation if they fail to do so, we could see another spot or downwards into 2 functions and different lots of expulsions. as we've seen over the last few months, so all eyes are not meeting in just a few hours time. china has slammed the us boy part of his

winter olympics next year as a grave travesty on designed to provoke and manipulate. they wouldn't go. us politicians keep a hyping up a diplomatic boycott without even being invited to the games. this wishful thinking and pure grandstanding is aimed at political manipulation. it is a grave travesty of the spirit of the olympic charter, a blatant political provocation, and a serious affront to the 1400000000 chinese people don't. the son of comes, i'm a tense relations washington and by jennings, political and economic competition affecting ever more spheres. us athletes will still compete, however, that just won't be any american officials though see, says it respects by this decision and stressed the importance of leaving athletes out of the politics. the white house sites concerns about alleged 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 pierre scenes ongoing genocide and crimes against a humanity engine. john and other human rights abuses. the athletes and 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. we got ration from shanghai based the politics professor and from a professor of history, a new mexico state university. they say that the button administration is trying to politicize the winter games. it's an unnecessary slide against paging it. it looks like a reactionary attempt by a week president. well, you know, it does signal at the, by the ministration wants to politicize, the olympic, somewhat similar to what we saw between the us and the ussr during the cold war. now this will indicate the many by does not subscribe the life experience of 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 u. s. with respect to ukraine against russia, or taiwan against mainland china, or how the u. s. stand or the proliferation of nuclear weapon to australia. the bigger question now is whether other countries will follow washington fleet and in post, similar boycotts, and how china will respond. it's always unfortunate when you know the olympics is, is politicized. but i do think that the trend in american and china relations, despite the brief moment of call that seem to be expressed in the, in the video conference between general secretary, she and president biden, that that seems to have passed. and we're back to a more overtly hostile attitude. it's interesting, of course, that american athletes will still be competing. american corporations that sponsor

the olympics and broadcast out on television, of course don't want to lose out on their revenues. so i think that there's a very interesting dichotomy here between this attitude on the part of the government and the broader position of the olympics. the republic has become the latest europe nation to impose mandatory vaccination from march. those aged over 60, as well as people in certain professions, including health care workers and police officers, will require a job. sions: voluntary building trust and helping citizens make informed decisions has proved to be successful in reaching high vaccination rates in sweden, transparent and understandable information should allow each person to make their decision freely. i'm generally very skeptical about coercion. i think we can reach an adequate vaccination rate by other means,

nor would we reach 100 percent by force. compulsory inoculation is being adopted by ever more block members. austria will be 1st planning to roll out the measure for all, but the medical exempt in february are strict regime will be seen in france, greece and italy. germany also expected to follow c l. a european commission president as the underlying urged you states that you consider mandatory jobs and come up with a common approach. but not every nation supports her call. as well as political opposition as resistance on european streets to protest of swept austria, belgium, germany and slovenia. the things getting techy in brussels as people held rocks and the police responded with tear gas and water cannon. ah,

the while europe struggling with a record covert 19 surge daily cases have risen more than 8 volts is june. the world health organization insist inoculation is the only way to end the pandemic. early michael, again, an anal discussed ease vaccination campaign that the panel of guests we've gone through 2 years of at least in this country. people saying one thing doing, doing the other than the next week, change in the rules. and then when they opened up the parks in this country, for instance, that was the end of it. we're never going to be able to get back to the point where people need to make the tough decisions and allow employees to, to work from home without penalty or social austria zation. we know that vaccine was do a fantastic job for a very safe medicine. and that protecting the health care systems in these different countries. a little we're seeing potentially particularly central and eastern europe is a lack of trust that the government to think a lot of a lot of this is about bad. old paul messaging to out the pandemic on the

fundamental breakdown in the trust that the population individuals have with the governments. people should have the choice as to what medical treatment they have. festival people were told to always tell to have our 1st job, which we did and, and now a 2nd job. and now where it will be encouraged to have a booster like, where is it gonna end? do we have to have these coven vaccination every 3 months? so why is it going away? and then it just seems quite and confusing because government say one thing and do another thing. they tell us do this and then they change their mind for us to do that, lawrence, or you fearful where this leads. if mondrey vaccinations do become widespread, i can see there being a massive backlash division. i think it is counter intuitive, you know, except. busy that there's a degree of vaccine agency and i can understand it up to a point, and that's where i think with a message, it is important. i wonder if you vaccine possible. there are other ways of doing this to try and persuade people about the,

the about getting guard. so they did. i just wonder whether mandating vaccination is just to start to fall. i think there's absolutely a financial motive behind a lot of this. i think some of the financial motive is that governments aren't willing to take some of the drastic for things such as locked down to restrictions . i think here in the u. k, you'll see something in january. if we look at universities, for instance, continuing to bring in students into areas and mandating, not that staff are vaccinated for instance, but that staff teach in areas that are crowded with students who were coughing, sometimes wearing masks. sometimes not a lot of this is because we're all living on economic bubbles that are just ready to burst. a lot of nurses and health care professionals. ready already leaving the profession genie to and you know, the problem is in the mental health issues. and now you want to make an injection mandatory. i don't think he is saying, i don't think it's right. and i think he's a lot to do with educating people and given them the choice vaccine producers, including the turner, their warning that drugs there are drugs might be less effective against than you

all may crohn very. and if that proves truth does up to simply precious back to square one, i don't think so. i think it's likely that the car vaccines will have some impact, even if that protection drops a few percentage. that's a big difference to the large population of infected individuals. and therefore, we need to think other about other mitigations alongside clarkson, asia. we also need to take into account the controversial police crime sentences and course bill and given and we're living in a please stay already. this is quite wiring. and now they talking about force vaccines is very worrying, and i just ask myself, where is it gonna end to get over the last year and a half of governments that haven't been following their own rules and corporations that haven't been following the rules and making a profit off the backs of people who have to pay a lot of money sometimes to get access to vaccines. there's an inequality cross the land take mandatory jobs are also funding divisions with new york set to become the

1st you a city to require vaccines for all private sector workers. marble de blasio says that the rural will take effect later this month, just days before his term ends. unties, kellum open reports. 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 army kron variant as well as cold weather and seasonal flues 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 mayor diblasio will impose a 1st in the nation vaccine mandate for all private sector workers in new york city . build blasio isn't a mer 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 announces 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 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 de blasio expects the same exact expects that the courts will uphold this mandate and it will move ahead. now it's important to know 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 have 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's bargaining for coming up, we look at the increasing abuse face by female prisoners in the u. s. you have to share cells with self identifying, trans women. that's on the way in the few months. 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 is got it. exit germany, i call it air 1st. you say, i'm crazy, but that's what i'm calling. so old is driven by dreamers shaped by center. some of those

with there's thinks we dared to ask a oh, we'll come back. a women's rights organization is suing the us state of california for lying men into female prisons when they self identify as women is as women face

physical and psychological trauma. while they're cries for help on dismissed multitasking taylor spoke with the groups lead. the 1st looks at one particular case of sexual abuse in a women's jail. meet princess. so we andromeda love, formerly known as hobby bang, i'm an ex inmate at the washington correction center for women and one of 3 transgender prisoners who transferred that this here. but why are we talking about this into virtual and not the thousands of others who've passed through the same doors. after being sentenced to prison, after being found guilty of having had sexual relations with the 12 year old girl bingham decided to identify as a woman and be called andromeda love. in this way, he wanted to be transferred to the correctional center for women in washington. once there, he was found by prison stuff along with his cell mate, an inmates with a developmental disability in a bed and without clothes for following this incident, prison all far tis determined that love had raped her vulnerable soul mate,

who was already a victim of sexual assault even more troubling prison, self allegedly didn't find a report. and there are fears that similar incidents could still take place. a former god that shares these fairs, believing that a weak system is being taken advantage of by deceitful men. because whilst the states prison department says that his policy ensures call treatment and that there is a rigorous screening process, according to the person who's been on the inside the realities a little different. the only prerequisite is that the med mr. didn't fall as female . they are required to have had reassignment surgery don't need to be in the process of transitioning, nor do they have to be on a home or in regimen. the only requirement is that they must proclaim to identify as a woman fleming, even claims that love got a show, had caught and refer to twice dent flying as male upon being released,

and that of the transgender inmates at the same perhaps on surprising than that, the policy of prisons in washington state has come on to scrutiny just as a has a bit farther down the west coast in california. because that earlier this year, a law was passed, allowing and mates to choose housing based on that gender identity. now since that around $300.00 requests being made. oh, nice 6 so far have been denied numbers that of scad some so much that are little suit has been filed, claiming that the bill unconstitutionally puts women at risk. so cynical exploitation of fundamental human rights with wild increasing you did, i did over the issue. i spoke to lauren adams, legal director of the women's liberation front. the organization behind that very little suit. the reason we have, you know, women only presents that we separate by sexes because men pose

a danger to women. and there's no evidence that men who identify as transgender, regardless of what they've done to change their bodies, that they've post less risk to women. i would imagine, but in the course of your walk and i know property preparing thought little suit as well. you have spoken to a number of female and mates, and i just wanted to get your kind of general reaction as to what it is that you're hearing from them or hearing that they're, they're scared and they feel humiliated. this feels like just adding insult to injury, it's also important to know that many of the men who are transferring over have female co defendants are ex partners where in the women's presence. so just in california there's, i know, 2 women personally and there's a number of other women who i haven't spoken with who have their co defendants who have transferred over one of them. the man who transferred over killed her children

and he has been put in her facility that she lives and have you had also a from anyone of cases where someone refer to twice dent flying as a male off. they were released from prison because that seems to be, i was when i was doing research, but that didn't seem to be a concern among some, i don't know about after they've been released, but i do know after they've been transferred. so there is at least 2 who are in there now, who after they were transferred, stop taking hormones. they had been taking hormones and stopped in california alone . and many of them have they, you know, dress more feminine or wear their hair more feminine in the men's prison. and then when they arrive at the women's prison cut their hair, they start, you know, acting like man is, is how it's been put to me. and, and it's, it's, it's very terrifying for the women who have to share space with them and have to sleep in

a locked room with them. have to shower in front of them and use the toilet in front of them to feel unsafe and to be unsafe. in that way, the medical have that be more reports of sexual assault. has that been pregnancies? for example, is contraception now handed out, we know that they have been handing out condoms. they have changed their policy from as of when this was implemented so that other contraceptives such as birth control, hormonal birth control, and other things are available to the women inmates. which of course, is there, acknowledgement that these are men who are being transferred in there or else why would they need birth control? how's that being a case? female inmates feeling unsafe? maybe they themselves have been a victim of something turned to the prison authorities for advice for help, and found that they didn't receive anything. going back to california too because that's the one i'm the state i'm work the most. and on this issue they,

there was one woman who was sexually assaulted by one of the the the transferred inmates. and she immediately disclosed to staff like within, within a few minutes of it happening. and they told her that if she wanted to be separated from him, that she needed to basically move herself to either go to administrative segregation which is essentially solitary. and then go to another prison. there was no chance that he would be remote from her space. and it wasn't until we got involved and you know, she was able to get them to finally treat it as a prison, rape elimination act complaint where they take it a little bit more seriously. so until that happened a, just so we don't know how many women have been dismissed like that. it's happening more and more. and we get emails from people and calls from people all the time, letting us know that it's happening in this state or that state. and it's just

happening quietly because people know that it's not a defensible thing to do. and so they don't talk about it. it's up to us to expose it with the washington correction center for women about the alleged abuse that i mentioned in such case report. it told us that no open pending or closed rape investigation that match that description. deepening cooperation a shed will view those with the key takeaways of the russia, india summits. and you, dealing with president putin met with his counterparts as parts of his 2nd foreign trip since the source of the pandemic. the 2 agreed to broaden joint activities in many spheres, especially with regards to military corporation. a. we see india as a great power, a friendly nation relations between our countries of developing and i, looking into the future. i'll positions on very many issues coincide. we continued

to develop our relations both in the international arena and in the military sphere . they conducting joint military exercises both in india and in russia. we grateful for the attention to this part of our work. we intend to continue working in this direction. in the agreements concluded today in various fields will help expand our corporation. our defense partnerships are strengthened through joint development and joint production. on one of the key new agreements was to step of supplies of russia's, s 400 surface to air missile systems, india, something washington is fred and sanctions over geo politics expert for him. charlie says that the mo, d put in some, it is a clear sign that ties off solid. i think for russia, it helps to show is that it is not only china, it also has indiana to site. and that helps to count better. you know, i knew western adams to isolate russia. india has never gone along with any american, and he should needs to isolate or law impose sanctions audible. why god,

russia did that in 2014, also, or after the crimea, or was reintegrated to russia. the barack obama administration are reminded that the, we should know, join sanctions and a y got russia. we know what did that, and i cancelled by as a so we would hope that better sense prevails. we are also talking to the west on the issue of our sanctions threatened sanctions on india because we are buying the s 400 from russia, and we have category volleyball them with russia. it's a special partnership. we can never abandon them. kenneth found up some other global new stories for you, starting with violence in greece. pent up fury over police brutality boiled over in cities across greece on the 30th anniversary of the fatal shooting of a teenager by an officer.
