better than lou chrisy thought between joe biden, a little dinner put in the schedule for later today, triggered by tensions over you. cray, we've spoken exclusively to the russian president spokesperson. it is to connect with 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. and boycott, it's winter olympics pointing out that the american diplomats weren't even invited for european states imposed mandatory vaccination. discontent seems to sweep the block, the ban protests on the streets and politicians decrying while they branded, troubling state kush ah

oh great, have you company watching our t international 1st for you this, our high stakes talks between the russian and us presidents. they are set to take place later on tuesday and mid rampant speculation about a possible invasion of ukraine and increased nato activity in the black sea. ahead of that call, joe biden, set the tone by saying that he will not accept any red lines as he called it from vladimir putin. yet at the same time, the white house, as it is not sinking conflict and exclusive interview with our t, the criminal spokesperson told us that the u. s. is becoming increasingly aggressive towards mosque museums, toneta shows, and you must. now we see that nato is taken 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'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 at large in vars now on the line up. a very important statement was made in the ukraine defense ministers interview to you. k media 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 veneer so up. can you tell us about the last quote, how much of a breach is that light of the red lines lie? to me, a putin had to find no animal. 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 0. this is something we do not like. and it forces us to take some protective measures to defend our interests. then hawkins is covering this story for us. he joins me in the studio and daniel,

lots of blaming. i can't see anyone who's actually done anything wrong as yet, but certainly lots of if you do that, we're gonna do this going on. what to expect from today's call? well, the world will be watching very closely. of course, the president. so volume at once. and parson at the summit in geneva, or this summer, they've had phone calls back and forth then, but this is only their 2nd at a face to face communication, albeit online, of course. and since that meeting in geneva, tensions have really been simmering in relationship between the the president, sam, between mosque on washington wider at best for it. worse spiraling thou into a worsening a pattern of tit for tat threats and expulsions and sanctions. but red lines very much been the buzzword of the day to day. moscow stating that redline in ukraine is the deployment of certain types of weaponry or troops, jo bought and saying he doesn't care about that. he won't accept any red lines in america will do. it sees fit. this of course, comes amid media accusations of this unconfirmed,

a build up troop bill up on the quote in border or russian territory of course, but on the board with ukraine, which media are saying could lead to potential invasion or intervention of some sort come the end of january and of course that goes hand in hand with a threat of sanctions. washington has been threatening a new runs of sanctions against certain members of the russian government. and more seriously, also against the russian banking sector, potentially targeting the ability of russian banks, exchange roubles for western currency, and also targeting the russian indirect investment fund, rushes southern wealth fund and perhaps also the most serious option. so cool nuclear option will be cutting off russia from the swift international payments. it's not going to massive repercussions, both russia and the west. of course, if that does happen and food and spokesman, which we passed off said earlier to moscow, and the problem is not with their actions. the rhetoric is all coming from washington which is being overly hostile. and wrapping up this tension ahead of

these talks and just the generic to which 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. at the same time, no one talks to key or non warns key of against even thinking of a military intervention in done 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 drained of moments when attitudes are not what i call rational or sober, but emotionally magnified. so as the escalation get stronger every day than the president's. you obviously bad the responsibility, feel the need to discuss the issues of speaking of talking to key if the what house confirm secretary blinking will be speaking to a president of the school of ukraine before the video conference. and also in a press briefing. interesting. it was how stated on a quote here that while washington is looking for a conflict with russia,

it is going to to, to go for consequences for any harmful actions on the part of russia, whatever. that, of course may mean. european leaders of also shipped in for one prominence, the boys johnson of the you, k stated u. k, will use all available economic and diplomatic tools to help stop rushing aggression. and indeed, the euclidean defense minister has actually called on the u. s. u. k, canada, or other countries to deploy troops, not just advise the trainers but actual combat troops to the frontline, to deter russian aggression. and while politicians are busy, rubbing up the rhetoric and pulling out the heat. almost discussion, the generals who actually may be deployed to the front lines are urging caution in this case. in a case like this, diplomacy has to lead. we've got to be very careful. you've always got to take potential adversary's seriously. was have started. 1 because of potential miscalculations before,

throughout history. that's really pretty big gulf here between moscow and washington, that's all to see and relations as indeed from an a lover of pointed out earlier, are pretty dia. at this stage, it's hard to say what we can expect from the meeting exactly though a few public figures have already given their take really on how this my pan alpha and on the balance of power in the thought 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. although of course not to missing is was there as usual. this could really lead to one or 2 options, potentially affiliated to find some compromise, some consensus, some points which they can agree on. we could see a de escalation here if they fail through that, then we're down again to that spark of sanctions tip with that expulsion on potentially why the ramifications which could have impacts on the market on the

military's. i know the political water themes, so all eyes are not meeting in about 5 or 6 hours now. yeah. and just to clarify anybody what's not really a failure with american football and i think it wasn't made expressly. i think he's saying that trump's, that putin is the patriots who are very successful team and he's saying that there's a gulf in class between 2000 and button really did go with button. so that's no surprise. the money, thanks for all the background. so that china has slammed us boy because of his winter olympics next year, was a grave travesty. and was designed to provoke and manipulating up a diplomatic boycotts 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 limpid charter, a blatant political provocation, and a serious affront to the 1400000000 chinese people don't understand of comes the

med tenants relations with washington and basing political and economic competition affecting other more spheres. us athletes will still compete, however, just won't be any american officials. he says that it respects the decision to biden and stress, the importance of leaving ashley's out of politics. the white house for it's part sites, concerns about the lead human rights violations in china. and so 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 on team usa have our full support, will be behind them 100 percent. as we cheered them on from home. we will not be contributing to the fanfare of the games. we go ration from a shanghai based politics professor and a professor of history in new mexico state university. they say the bud, no ministration is trying to politicize the games. it's an unnecessary slide

against paging. it's, it, it looks like a reactionary attempt by a week president, but you know, it does signal that the, by the ministration wants to politicize the olympic, somewhat similar to what we saw between 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 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 us or the proliferation of nuclear weapon to australia. the bigger question now is whether other countries will follow washington lead 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 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 that 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. pope friends whose has warned the e u that it is in danger of bringing about its own doom if it doesn't tone down in service to impose one way of thinking on all that, he was referring to a european commission drive to make official communications more inclusive on this

from our course on trying to do this because she's in power for his sir. charlotte, the pope getting all political honors, swap prompted this outburst from hope. frances, well it seems pe francis is furious about this document that you mentioned that he went as far as condemning the european commission in likening it to the nazi regime . so pretty much the strongest criticism that you could expect the head of the catholic church. i then went on to say that he was warning that the block, brussels itself shouldn't move in a direction a path where it imposes such woke language. this is what he had to say. in history many, many dictatorships have tried to do this kind of thing. think of napoleon, think of the nazi dictatorship, the communist one. it is something that throughout history hasn't worked now that document has already been canceled after it's drew

a firestorm of criticism in the last week. and that's because some of the things that contain people, federal act, common sense, there was also accusations that brussels was trying to cancel christmas. that's because this 30 page document to recommended the people shouldn't say christmas can be stressful. now, other examples in this sort of equality type language that von delaying the european commission president herself has been pushing now for the last few years. included saying that you shouldn't greet an audience with the term, ladies and gentlemen, because lapse, not inclusive. and the idea of describing something is being man made well, that sexist? so a lack of common sense. that's how people describe it so much criticism from politicians across europe that the european commission has had to do an embarrassing you turn and step back from this. now pope francis was pretty strong in that criticism,

as he heard comparing this idea to being something like the nazi regime. but he went even further and he said that the e u has to be incredibly careful because he said that saying things like this could we can democracy if for you and then trying take away or sacrifice national values of countries. now this was a document that was supposed to promote unity. what it's done is so even deeper divisions within the e u and po francis said that could cause the fall of the block. brussels must be careful not to take the path of ideological colonization, which could end up dividing countries and causing the european union to fail. so it has been cancelled. but what this does is raises questions about the set up itself of the european commission. and i say that because the commission is supposed to be

the body that dots, the ice cross is the teas checks a re single element of a document before it's published to essentially ensure that this doesn't happen. so the fact that the deed approved this document for publication back a couple of weeks ago, really begs the question as to whether this is the direction that the commission wants to move in. it's the direction that the commission president herself has said she wants to move in, where essentially we would see christmas band. while we revelations coming out of the a you there shall i do, misty bringing is the latest life from iris. thank you. ok, loss one, use on the way for you. appreciate your company here and i'll tell you, i'll be back in a moment. ah ah.

herman died rumor shaped bankers are those with theirs sinks?

we dare to ask oh, oh, come back. the chip republics become the latest european nation to impose mandatory vaccination as of march. those aged, more than 60, as well as people in certain professions including health, co workers and police officers will be required to get a job compulsory inoculations being adopted by evermore block members. austria will be the 1st planning to roll out the measure for all, but the medical exempt in february, a less strict regime will be seen in france, greece and italy, with germany, also expected to follow earlier european commission president sullivan de lion o g u. thanks to consider mandatory jobs and to come up with a common approach, but not every nation supports that cool. 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, as well as political opposition. there's also resistance on european streets. there been protest across austria, belgium, germany and slovenia, and things got touch in brussels when people held rocks. and the police responded with tear gas and water cannon. ah.

meanwhile europe is struggling with a record cove in 19 surge daily cases have risen over 8 times since june. the world health organization says inoculations the only way to end this. pandemic li, my colleague in an anal discussed the eas vaccination campaign. the panel 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 the 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 pul 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 have. crystal people will tell, tell you 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 how, where is it going? no end. and it just seems quite 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, 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 know 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 for things such as locked down to restrictions . i think in the u. k, you'll see something in january. if you 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 nasty, the health care professionals. ready already leave it in the profession; gt; 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 giving them the choice vaccine producers, including them. but 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 parts and they should. we also need to take into account the controversial police crime sentences and courts 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 of the backs of people who have to pay a lot of money sometimes to get access to vaccines. there's an inequality across the landing man, the tree jobs are also fanning divisions, new york sent to become the 1st few a city to require vaccines for all private sector workers. smart bill de blasio

says the rule will take effect later this month, just days before his term ends. caleb multiples, new york city mayor build diblasio, who portrays himself as a national leader in the fight against covey. 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. 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 in 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 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 de blasio expects the same except 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 not apparently

space tourism is all the rage at the moment if you can afford it. certainly among the super rich, those pop 11 on wednesday, ross closeness rock. it will wish the ladies billionaire to the holiday destination of a lifetime, the international space station he's done, the armstrong looks at how it could potentially pave the way for the rest of us. one day 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 in the heart of the cassock, step here in the middle of over 2000 kilometers of harsh and barren land rockets like this. so use muddled 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 cosmic job to become the 1st man in orbit and paved the way for human space exploration. now on
