ah ah, try says talks between joe biden, a bloody lip hootin are scheduled for later on tuesday, triggered by tensions of ukraine. we talked exclusively to the russian president spokesperson, just reaching out to him. which of 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. boy cancer this winter olympics pointing out that the american diplomats weren't even invited or european states imposed mandatory vaccination. discontent sweeps the blog that been processed on the streets and politicians have declined. what, like grounded shoveling, stay ticklish. ah,

oh, great. have ye withers, midday harry? moscow? you're watching arti international now, versus our high stakes talks between the russian and us presidents. they are set to take place later on tuesday, a mid rampant speculation about a possible invasion of ukraine, and increased nato activity in the black sea ahead of that called joe biden. set the tone by saying he will not accept any red lines from pearson at the same time, the white house, as it is not seeking conflict. in an exclusive interview with our tea, the kremlin spokesperson told us that america is becoming increasingly aggressive towards moscow. movie jim's tomar push has too much. now we see that nato is taking an extremely aggressive position. we see mister stoughton burges 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's once 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 ensure our own interests and launching bars. now, linear, a very important statement was made and the ukraine defense minister interview 2, u. k. media essentially call the u. s. canada and the u. k. military to the front lines and puts out that to do that by bypassing nature. so can you tell us how much of a breach is of the red line slot mere putin had defined? no. well, we have a 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 the 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 all the

time. hawkins is here with more on this story thing across it throughout the day, right up to the phone call. no doubt daniel feasible story. both sides are saying that hey, we're the innocent party here is the others who are the aggressive ones. that's going to be a bulk of what the conversation would be about presumably. yeah. and the world what some closely to see what the outcome is. the president of course only met face to face once that was in june at the geneva summit. they've had phone call since then, but this is going to be only the 2nd face to face interaction, albeit online, obviously. now since the intentions have remained that a similar in point bass, that was, they've spiraled down in some more threats of sanctions count the sanctions, expulsions, and really the buzzword of the day has been read lines. are moscow saying bear red line and with a deployment of certain weapons and troops, missiles and ukraine, president biden saying, that doesn't matter. red lines mean nothing to him, and america will do as it sees fit. the mis comes, of course, and made and confirmed delegations, but russia was a massive troops along the crating border on russian territory. but

a little new cranium border, much western media, speculating. this may lead to some sort of military intervention come the end of january threats of new sanctions. of course, as we said earlier, washington threatened new sanctions against certain members of the russian government and more seriously. bloomberg citing online sources at russian banks. maybe it's august that in their ability to convert rubles to foreign currency as long as the russian direct investment fund, russia sovereign wealth fund. and that includes talks, of course, of the so called nuclear option. if we remember in summer, it was discussed that option was put on the table by washington to potentially cut russia off from a swift banking system. that option is now back on the table and being talked about again, that would of course, have very serious ramifications for both sides here. now moscow certainly sees things very differently. they see the hostile rhetoric coming not from the selves, but from the white house on washington as the presidential spokesman set out in

today. just feed 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 complicated 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 are not what i will call rational or sober. but emotionally magnified so as the escalation get stronger every day than the precedence. you obviously bear the responsibility, feel the need to discuss the issues. also give speaking to ukraine. secretary blinkin has confirmed he'll be speaking to president, the rescue of ukraine prior to this phone call. and in the press briefing, the white house also note it interestingly, but i quote via the us doesn't see conflict with russia,

but yet continues to threaten consequences for harmful actions on the part of russia. whatever. that, of course may mean. european leaders have also shipped in a prominence to pros, johnson of the u. k. same, he will use all available economic and diplomatic tools to help stop russian aggression and the ukraine. the defense minister, indeed us call them the u. s. u k. kind of the to actually deploy troops, not simply advisors or trainers, but actual combat troops to the front lines of ukraine to deter any sort of russian aggression. now, going back to the meeting itself, it's all to say what we can expect. but as we say, speculation is been rough in the media with some pretty public figures. also commenting on what we can expect of the dynamic between the 2 leaders 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. alone. trump no being who the patriots he's saying is

a mismatch. i'm just wondering who has the band in his opinion. he didn't really say that they will ask the question, we'll have to find the answer to because both food is of course we'll be trying to play the best cause we'll be trying to a certain sell was obviously push. brian and the world view here. and if they can find some points of compromise, some points of consensus, obviously we may see a de escalation here. if they fail to reach any sort of compromise, we're back into that spark of tit for tat threats. sanctions expulsions and potentially something will serious. so all eyes will be on most talks are on the video conference a just about 6 or 7 hours from now. yeah, we'll look forward to that and thanks so much for the don trunk grub because he's always interesting borderline comedy. so enjoy that one. thank you. very much dan china slammed the us boy cut of his winter lympics next year, was a grave travesty and was designed to provoke and manipulate. they were done go.

jewish politicians keeping 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. of a stand off comes amid tents relations with washington and beijing's political and economic competition affecting other more spheres. us athletes will still, however, compete. there just won't be any u. s. officials. the i was, he says it respects biden's decision and stress. the importance of living athletes out of politics, the white house for it's part science concerns about alleged human rights violations in china. and that 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 ginger 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 hon, who will not be contributing to the fanfare of the games we go, reaction from a shanghai based politics professor and a professor of history at new mexico state university. they say the by the ministration is trying to politicize the gapes. it's an unnecessary slide against paging it. it looks like a reactionary attempt by a week president. well, you know, it does signal that 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 olympic spirit 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 feel 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 politicized. but i do think that the trend in american and china relations, despite the brief moment of, 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 feature republic has become the latest european nation to impose mandatory vaccination from march. those aged above 60 as well as people in certain professions, including health care workers and police officers, will require a job. compulsory inoculations being adopted by the more block man, this austria will be 1st planning to roll out the measure for all, but the medically exempt in february, less strict regime will be seen in france. greece and italy with germany also expected to fall as it earlier european commission president as live on the land, urged east apes to consider mandatory jobs and come up with a common approach. but not every nation is supporting that court. keeping vaccinations 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 while as political opposition, as resistance on european streets to protest of swept austria, belgium, germany in slovenia, with things getting touchy and brussels with people hurling rocks, and the police responding with tear gas and water cannon. ah, while europe's struggling with a record cove in ninety's search tele cases of written more than 8 fold since june . the w h o insists inoculation is the only way it and this pandemic ellie,

my colleague in, in a neil disgust the ease vaccination campaign with a 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, changing the rules. and 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 ostracize ation. we know that vaccines 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 potentially a central and eastern europe is a lack of trust the government to think a lot of a lot of this is about bad. oh, poor messaging throughout 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 had. crystal, people were told that we start to have our 1st job, which we did 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 this 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 to this. i think it is counter intuitive you know. busy except 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 dark. 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 and 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 are 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 leave it in the profession g to and you know, the problem is in the mental health issues and now you will and make an inject, shouldn't mandatory. i don't think he's saying, i don't think it's right. and i think is a lot to do is educating people and given them the choice vaccine producers, including the turner, they are warning the drugs their drugs might be less effective against than you all may crohn very. and if that proves truth does up just 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 carts and they should. we also need to take into account the controversial police crime sentences and course fill and given. and we're living in a place they 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 across the atlantic mandatory drop saw. so finding divisions with new york set to be the 1st us city to require vaccines for all private sector workers. mar, bill de blasio says. busy that the rural will take effect later this month. just days before his term ends. 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 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's what he said. as of today, we're going now say 1st in the nation measure, our health commissioner will 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 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. he's a tyrant. just spoke to katherine while 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 when no city has gone before, because it's potentially unenforceable, and would probably get stuck in the courts until well after the mer 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 is bargaining for coming out, we look at the increasing abuse faced by female prisoners in america who have to share cells with self identifying trends, women the story in a few moments the

ah, with the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy

confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk oh, we'll come back. a women's rights organization is suing the u. s. state of california for allowing men to female prisons when they self identify as women. it says it's actual women face physical and psychological trauma. while that cries for help or dismissed auntie suskin taylor spoke to the group's leader. the 1st looks at one particular case of sexual abuse in a women's prison 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 have 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 managed 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 it is 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 file a report. and now 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 being on the inside, the reality is a little different. jeremy prerequisites is that the men must identify as female. they are required to hug 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, to identifying as male upon being released. and that of the transgender inmates did 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 have been made. oh, nice 6. so far have been denied numbers that have scared some so much that are lawsuit has been filed, claiming that the bill unconstitutionally puts women at risk. so cynical exploitation of fundamental human rights with wild increasing you to guided 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 is no evidence that men who identify as transgender, regardless of what they've done to change their bodies, that they've posed less risk to women. i would imagine that in the course of your was, can 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. we're 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 act, 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 pregnancy? for example, is contraception now, 100 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, or 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 in on this issue they, there was one woman who was sexually assaulted by one of 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. we have the washington correction center for women about the alleged abuse mentioned in sask is reported. told us no open pending or closed rape investigation that much,

that description space tourism has all the rage of the moment, at least among the super rich on wednesday, a real close most rock it will with the latest 1000000000 a to the holiday destination of a lifetime. the international space station, once he's done the else wrong, i would all, by the way, the rest of us in the long run space exploration and russia is a long and storied love affair. and nowhere is that more apparent than here in the city of bacon or. busy in the heart of the cossacks, step here in the middle of over 2000 kilometers of harsh and barren land rockets like this. so use model here, blasting into orbit and the cities calling card and space travel is speciality. ah, 6 decades ago russian cosmonaut eureka gary set off from the bacon or cosmo job to become the 1st man in orbit and paved the way for human space exploration. now on

december, the 8th, japanese billionaire, you saki maze our will osha in a new era as space travel by becoming the 1st ever space taurus on iraq, cosmos flight, dedicated entirely to commercial travel. now ms hours 12 day stay in space will set off from exactly the same spot as you gardens and the bacon or cosmic job. this is the so use a mass rock, it will fairy maze our way into space to the i assess from here at the by can or cause my job. now it was built for to 6 months in space, but we'll spend only a fraction that around 12 days and will differ from other flights in a fact that it won't have emission. of course, a whole point of the project is space, tourism. it will be complete with an m said mays. i was signature on the nose. that's what a rumored $20.00 to $40000000.00 will get you a personalized rocket and ride into space. not bad if you can afford it. now it may have seemed.
