exit germany, i call it air 1st. you say, i'm crazy, but that's what i'm calling with this alice top headlines here on our team and crisis talks between joe biden and vladimir pu not show to watch for later on, choose day, ultimately triggered by tensions over ukraine. and here at r t, we talk exclusively to the russian presidential spoke to us just to change it to 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. the pope condemns the so called inclusive language of the e. you comparing it to that of that nazi regime. is words coming fall out over a controversial guidebook issued by the blog which suggested not using terms referring to christmas to avoid offending non christian also in the program here

one r t china shrugs offered us boy caught up it's winter olympics, pointing out the american diplomats weren't even invited ah, turning into a busy day here just as we like it at odds. welcome to your news. life of moscow. high stakes talks between the russian and u. s. presidents are slated to occur later on tuesday, though it isn't made ramp and speculation about a possible invasion of ukraine and increased nato activity in the black sea. in an exclusive interview with our t, the kremlin so spokesperson told us that us is becoming increasingly aggressive towards moscow. museums toneta has to must. 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's 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 ensure our own interests at large in vars now linelle. a very important statement was made in the ukraine defense ministers interview to you. k media. he essentially called the us canada and the u. k. military to the front lines and put out there to do that by, by passing nato veneer. so, can you tell us what quote, how much of a breach is that light of the red lines lie? to me, a putin had to find no enemy. 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. at of their call the job, i hadn't set the tone by saying he will not accept any red lines yet. at the same time, the white house is not looking for any conflict. i just went out in the program artes. daniel hawkins told me more about what's at stake. oh, soon fun out. after today's meeting, it's going to say a lot about the the way conversations are. of course the president severely met once before in person at the summit in geneva, in june's instantly had phone calls. but this is the 2nd face to face me. it will be it online, of course. and really relations have been an all time low best that was they've been getting even worse in a spiral of a tit for tat expulsions and threats of sanctions. and we mentioned red lines that through the buzzword of the day, because for moscow, they very clearly said the red lines of the deployment of certain weapon systems, missiles, troops in ukraine, as their body said, he's not concerned by that. washington will act as they see fit,

and this comes against the backdrop of threats, of new sanctions, of course, and saying it will potentially target members over the russian government. bloomberg saying that should be targeting russian banks and their ability to convert roubles into foreign currency. and even targeting the russian direct investment fund, that's the russian sovereign wealth fun. now, since then, the head of the main bank, because back in russia government graft has said that that's nonsense, that can't possibly happen. nevertheless, the threat is still there, as is the threat of the so called nuclear option cutting off russia from a swift international banking payment system. not an up up. so option put on the table in summer that wasn't discuss any further. now that is again, being talked about. and despite these meter accusations of the russian military build up the possibility of conflict, musk of course fuses very differently. foreign minister lava off today said that in fact, this ukraine's position, which changes her almost on a daily basis, could go into ukrainian leadership. there are so many people, so many mines and they can change their opinion, several times

a day. their streams of consciousness that pull in different directions when you, he's at last understand why the onus is on russia to stop whatever violations there are of the seas for not when you cry. and indeed, that's confirmed or supply the presidential spokesman with repressed cough who dismissed a lot of washington was saying as hostile rhetoric, this is what you had to say. just feed into 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 of non warns key of against even thinking of a military intervention in the done yet. and lou 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 call rational or sober, but emotionally magnified. so as the escalation gets stronger every day than the

precedence, you obviously bear the responsibility, feel the need to discuss the issues. what, how said in a briefing recently that they're not seeking conflict with russia yet they will threaten consequences for harmful actions on rushes for whatever. of course, that may mean for us, johnson you k, prominence, the saying the u. k. will use all available economic and diplomatic tools to stop russian aggression and the, the, you quote and defense winners is actually called on the u. k. canadian and us government to bring troops into ukraine. not just advisors or trainers, common troops, the detailing the potential aggressive moves from moscow. and while politicians are busy ramping up through attract the military chiefs that will have to potentially organize these operations are urging caution. 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 because of potential miscalculations before throughout history. it's hard to say really

what we can expect from this meeting, pest golf. as i said, just in the last few minutes that effectively but messages don't get your hopes up the talk. so play are taking place at a very difficult time and it's best to lot think too far ahead for fear or failure because that is likely. here are some other very public figures that also express their opinions about just how things could go and what the balance of power in these talks could be. 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. on trump, as usual, i'll spoke himself about on a, on a serious note, both leaders who will be trying to assert the authority to push their worldview and who is, who was, was wrong here. and what exactly is at stake. now if the 2 leaders managed to find some sort of consensus, some sort of compromise, we could see the escalation here. if they fail, then again, we'll afraid well into that spiraling downward curve of sanctions. countless

actions expulsions tit for tat threats. and that's really not want anybody wants to seek. we'll find out around 6 p. m. oscar time. when the meeting takes place, what came of it? process has worn the e u. that it's in danger of bringing about its own downfall if it doesn't tone down its effort to impose one way of thinking for all even compared his methods to that of the nazi regime. he was referring to our european commission drive to make official communications more inclusive. let's try and understand exactly what that means. here's correspondent, solid difference game. hope frances, essentially condemning the european commission in likening it to the nazi regime. he also offered a warning saying that brussels shouldn't be moving on a path towards this type of woke language. this is what the pontiff had to say

in history. many, many dictatorships of 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 well that document was cancelled last week after a firestorm of criticism with politicians across the block describing it is lacking common sense. now they also said that the commission was trying to counsel christmas. why? well, one of the guidelines within that document said that people shouldn't say christmas can be stressful. and there was the idea of saying you shouldn't ask people for their christian name. now this idea of inclusive language is something that the commission president herself on de leon has in the past back and said she wants to move towards. but this document which contains many other examples like not greeting people as the ladies and gentlemen because that wasn't inclusive enough and saying you couldn't describe something as being man made because that would be

sexist, was just a step too far. and as a result, the commission has had to make an embarrassing you tune and delete this document. now post francis also talked about the idea of a document like this essentially weakening democracy. he said when national values are being sacrificed and this is something that was meant to unify europe as instead what it's done is sewn e deeper divisions. and the pope himself warned that something like this could cause the fall of the e u itself. 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. hello, that document was canceled last week. what it does is it raises questions about the political set up of the commission itself. and i say that because the commission is to paste in dot the eyes cross the t's,

make sure that any document that's published is exactly what it wants to be. so the doesn't attract the sort of criticism we've seen over this. documenting as it would have verified that before publication, it really begs the question, is this the direction that the commission wants to move in a direction where we have a world without christmas? china has slammed a u. s. boycott over its winter olympics next year as a grave travesty. and one designed to provoke and manipulate. they wouldn't cook us 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 come to tell you the stand off

comes. i'm a tense relations with washington and beijing's political and economic competition affecting ever more spheres. a u. s. athletes will still compete, however, they just won't be any american officials. the i o c says it respects biden's decision and stress, the importance of leaving athletes out of politics. the white house, though, for its part sites, concerns about alleged schuman rights violations in china. as the biden administration 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, we will not be contributing to the fanfare of the games. we got a reaction from shanghai based political chrissa on from a professor of history of the new mix in new mexico state university. they say the

bide known administration is basically trying to politicize thought of the winter olympics. 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 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 lead and in post solar 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. possibly here at moscow, a women's rights organization is suing the us state of california for allowing men into female prisoners when they self identify as women, it says women face physical and psychological trauma,

while the cries for help just ignored. saskia taylor spoke to the group leader but 1st looked at one particular case of sex abuse in one women's jail. meet princess. so we andromeda love, formerly known as hobby bang. i am 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, you want 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 fired 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 men must have dental 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 to show had caught and refer to twice dent fine 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 being made. oh, nice 6. so far have been denied numbers that have scanned some so much lawsuit has been filed, claiming that the bill unconstitutionally puts women at risk. so cynical exploitation of fundamental human rights with dwelled 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 sex is 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 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 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. 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 being more reports of sexual assault has 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 be in a case where female inmates feeling unsafe? maybe they themselves have been the victim of something turned to the prison authorities for advice for help and found that they didn't receive anything. going back to california to 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 i, 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 to be 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. meanwhile, we contacted the washington center mentioned at the start of sauce gears report about the alleged abuse in the facility. it told us it didn't recognize the description of the incident, and there was no open pending or closed rape investigation, that thousands of people desperate to flee the taliban in afghanistan were left behind without any help from the british foreign office. apparently this was due to lack of computers, lack of stuff, and an unwillingness of workers to do extra hours. in extraordinary circumstances. the claims come from a civil servant who is blowing the whistle in a damning 39 page report. i estimate fewer than 5 per cent of these people have received any assistance. it is clear that some of those left behind have since been murdered by the taliban. h m g, therefore transported animals which were not at risk of hom,

at direct expense of evacuating british nationals and people at risk of imminent murder. including interpreters who had served with the british army, loretta over to london knowledge drawn, a correspondent, shoddy edwards dashing to give us more on this story, australia, if true, these are some pretty embarrassing claims with the british government. can you take us to the details? well, what we have here today are some serious allegations, not just against dominic rob, the, for of a foreign secretary, but the government as a whole, really a whopping 40 page document is totally doused in jor, dropping allegations against the government. now this test may comes from a former foreign office, civil servant, i am, excuse me, his name is raphael marshall, and he's just 25 years of age. so he's not very senior. but he was certainly on the front line here in westminster during those very dark days where people are scrambling to try and get out of cobble as the area was being seized by the taliban . now he reveals

a multiple array of mess up here in white till that the government's evacuation mission was essentially failing due to being unable to processing the amounts of emails coming from afghanistan. and what he says was at leave tens of thousands of people behind i estimate between 75150000 people applied for evacuation. many of these emails were not read. they were usually over 5000 unread emails in the inbox at any given moment, including many unread emails dating from early in august. these emails were desperate an urgent. now he also says, thousands of emails were actually opened, but they want dealt with only full bars. johnson, the prime minister to go back to parliament and say, well, all of the messages have now been opened, doesn't necessarily mean he was doing anything about them. he also says. c on one particular afternoon in the middle of the 2 week evacuation mission at the heights

of people scrambling to get out of the country, he says he was the only person on shift trying to deal with the array of thousands of e mails. actually he was saying he volunteered to do that shift, had it not being for him putting himself forward, nobody would have been mounting the desks on that afternoon as for the criteria of the evacuation, then he says it was so vague an ad hoc the what you was seeing is potentially clean as an shaft working for the b, b, c. they were transferred out. but people that were working alongside the british army on the front line. they were not yet to be rescued. plus of course, with hearing i allegations about pen farthings animals charity. we know that he was able to get all of his animals out of the country. but again, people walking for the british army on indeed citizens and civilians were not able to get out themselves. so he says they were prioritizing animals over human beings than we know about the government's re settlement schema between 75825000

according to the whistleblower applied for it and apparently less than 5 percent ever received assistance. now dominic rob, and he said he doesn't recognize such figures, but the united kingdom was doing the best it could at the time. i regularly checked that we were properly resourced. but the challenge, of course, with one of these things was the verification of the facts on the ground. well, that's all, even the halls of it. allegations include one computer being shared with. so 8 soldiers. he says the team in white hole, how they woo, full lack of knowledge when it comes to afghanistan and he says the eagles at the time was totally skewed. we only have to look dominic rob the foreign secretary at the time. he was sunbathing as cobble fell, he was away on holiday with his family and he says that there's a ripple down effect with that level of attitude coming from the leadership that he says that the people and power really not showing and leading by example. and that

allegations that it's not just the whistleblower, but politicians accusing the government of that as well. the speed of decision making clarity of command mission intent. these absolutely fundamental to having a proper operation. that saves as many as possible. and so we're extremely concerns to what we're hearing. so this is what unfolding here in the united kingdom today, dominic rob has actually already been questioned that if one of these allegations are true, which he resign, of course dominic rob has numerous lee been trying to dodge the question, but many, many people are looking at him and thinking where on us was the leadership? no, i showed you to live in london. thank you. so space tourism is all the rage at the moment, at least among the super rich on wednesday, a ross cosmos rocket will whisk the latest billionaire to the holiday destination of a lifetime that of the international space station. so correspondent danny armstrong,

now looks at how it could all potentially paved away for 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 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 muddle here, blasting into orbit, and the cities calling card and space travel is speciality. ah. 6 decades ago russian cosmonaut eureka gary set off and the bacon or cosmic 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 and space travel by becoming the 1st ever space taurus on

a rock 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 by can or cosmic job. this is the so use a mass rock. it will ferry 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 spaceport was spend only a fraction by 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 on thinkable in gregory's day to literally pay your way into space, but maybe with every corner of the world already discovered the only logical small step for man was to go out of this world. and with the m. s. 20 mesa,

we're andros cosmos. opening avenues into orbit for the elite. now who's to say in sick is time space tourism like this will be available to the every man here at the museum, the bike can cause mitchell mat pride in space. travel is most apparent here. you'll find shrines to form a space, conquest and heroes including sputnik, you're good, guardian, and all those who written their names into the annals of russian space, travel history. and just like those forefathers of space exploration on it here, maybe our has also found himself a space on one of the competed walls and even find himself in next to use rocket. but as for his own chapter of space travel, well that's still to be written now. good car is famous catch phrase. yeah. holly meeting us go in. russia will still be ringing to you on december the 8th. so base our makes the way on the use m. s 20 flight and whatever the parting words of the japanese 1000000000 may be. one thing is for sure that he and ross cost most will

write a new chapter of history that could.
