9:02 am
well, a high stakes talks between the russian and u. s. president are taking place later on tuesday, the mid rampant speculation about a possible invasion of ukraine and increased nato activity in the black sea. in an exclusive interview with our tea, the covenants at spokesperson told us the u. s. is becoming increasingly aggressive towards moscow. museums to nitish, and you must. now we see that nato is taking an extremely aggressive position. we see mister stilton 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 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 all the linux, a very important statement was made and the ukraine defense ministers interview to you came media. essentially call the u. s. canada and the u. k. military to the
9:03 am
frontline soil and put out there to do that by bypassing nato veneers. so can you tell us about an article, how much of a breach is that light of the red lines? la demy of putin had defined no knowing well. we have had 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 . i called joe biden, set the tone by saying he will not accept to any one's red lines. yet at the same time, the white house as is not seeking conflict. earlier artists, daniel hawkins, toby, more about what's at stake. oh, 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. and parson at the summit in geneva, and june's instantly had phone calls. but this is the 2nd face to face me. it will
9:04 am
be it on line of course, and really relations have been an all time low best that was they've been getting even worse in a spiral of expulsions and threats of sanctions. and we mentioned red lines really about the bus word of the day, because for moscow, a very clearly said the red lines of the deployment of certain weapon systems, missiles troops in ukraine, as joe biden 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 that will potentially target move 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 southern wealth fund. now, since then, the head of the main bank, because back in russia government graph has said that that's nonsense, that can't possibly happen. nevertheless, the threat is still there, as is the threat of the so cool nuclear option cutting off russia from the swift
9:05 am
international banking payment system. not an 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 for 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 other last understand why the onus is on russia to stop or whatever, ah violations there are of the ceasefire and not when ukraine indeed that's confirmed also by the presidential spokesman with the prescott who dismiss a lot of washington was saying, as that hostile rhetoric, this is what out the say. it is 3 to 92 acres, which the rhetoric coming from the u. s. and e u leaders sounds pretty aggressive.
9:06 am
we see plenty of fake news about russia allegedly planning and aggressive invasion . at the same time, no one talks to key of non warns key of against even thinking of a military intervention in it. and yet elegance 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 gets stronger every day than the precedence, you obviously bear the responsibility, feel the need to discuss the issues. whitehouse said an a briefing recently that they're not seeking conflict with russia yet. they will threaten consequences for harmful actions on russia's fort whatever. of course, that may mean for us. johnson, you k prime minister saying the u. k. will use all available economic and diplomatic tools to stop russian aggression or did the ukrainian defense ministers actually call on at the u. k. a canadian, a u. s. government to bring troops into ukraine,
9:07 am
not just advisors or trainers at combat troops. that attorney potential aggressor moves from moscow, and while politicians are busy wrapping up the rhetorics of 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. i've also expressed 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,
9:08 am
take the new england patriots playing your high school football team. that's what you have right now. hold on trump as usual, i'll spoke himself about on a, on a serious note both leaders. he 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 couldn't 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 cease, we'll find out around 6 p. m. oscar time. when the meeting takes place. what came of it or let's give you an update now of uh, breaking news here from the heart of moscow or shooting in the southeast of the capitol crossing live. now it's more correspondent, nicky air to understand exactly what's happened so far because it's nearly 10 past 5 on choose day. now, mickey, what's, what's the latest, you know, well,
9:09 am
i've already scenes of absolute chaos and panic on this relatively quiet city street to the southeast of moscow. this afternoon after a 45 year old man opened fire here in the city service center right behind me. now is felipe, the 2 people have been killed down to 4 people have been injured earlier, a was reported that a 10 year old girl had to come to her injuries in the shooting. however, the moscow mass office has confirmed that she is still in hospital, although those who are injured are said to be in very serious condition. i was unclear at this point what led to the shooting here today, but it has room of been reported that there was a disagreement over the wearing of protective face masks off to which the gunman opened fire. he was apprehended from by some one within the service center and later arrested by police has been taken in for questioning. now the most go mass, i guess abandoned, has expressed his condolences to the families of the victims. he lost their lives here today and no. so expressed out for a full,
9:10 am
a speedy recovery for those who were injured. hey, today in bodies. very tragic and very shocking circumstances. ortiz mickey aaron, thank you. or we have heard from a moscow resident who lives close to the scene of today's shooting. ha was shooting, they sagged, the demand came in, did not want to put a mask on and sizes shooting. 2 people were killed and a young girl was taken away in an ambulance. i was at home on the internet. i so, so ben expressed his condolences that the shoes who happened at the public services center. i decided to look out the window and the ambulances fire man will raise a here, will be continue to cover this. our breaking news story here went off into national . we'll give the updates the moment we get the thousands of people desperate to flee the taliban in afghanistan were left behind without any help from the british foreign office. well, this was due to lack of computers and staff. the claims are coming from a civil servant who is below the whistled on what went on in
9:11 am
a large damning report. i estimate fewer than 5 percent of these people have received any assistance. it is clear that some of those left behind have since been murdered by the taliban. her majesty's government therefore transported animals which were not at risk of harm at the direct expense of evacuating british nationals and people at risk of imminent murder. including interpreters who had served with the british army. well, what we have here to day are serious allegations, not just the gangs dominic, rather than foreign secretary. but again, guess the government as a whole, really, this is a whopping 40 page document, a testimony of some really jaw dropping allegations from raphael marshall. he's a 25 year old former foreign office, civil servant. now he's on a rather senior level then. but actually he was on the front line here in westminster, dealing i with numerous things for the foreign office at a particularly dark time. when cobble was being seized by the taliban. he has now
9:12 am
put down on paper, really damming allegations against the government and all of these mess ups, multiple mess ups, and why till particularly around processing applications and email requests from people and to try and get out of the country. he says that these mistakes cost lives and ultimately left 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 on read emails in the box at any given moment, including many unread e mails dating from early in august. these emails were desperate an urgent. well, this was a blow claims that on one particular afternoon at the heights of the issue, when people are trying to leave the country, he was mounting a desk, a dealing with all of these emails completely alone. he says it was a shift he actually volunteered to do, had he not have volunteered without the nobody on that desk dealing with the
9:13 am
thousands of applications coming through as to the criteria of the evacuation. well, he says that was so vague an ad hoc, the, what we were seeing is cleaners and shafts working for the b, b. c were being rescued. but those work has interpreters on the front line alongside the british army was simply and not then today we also have additional controversy surrounding pen father who's an ex marine who had an animal charity in afghanistan at the time. he in fact, allegedly, according to this whistle blow was given priority, and therefore it seemed to be that human beings were not being prioritized but animals were being rescued. now that is something that downing street has now denied, but dominic rob, he was speaking earlier today and he said the united kingdom just did its best. at the time. i regularly checked that we were properly resourced. we did everything we could, but you have to have some form of process again. otherwise you're not going to be
9:14 am
letting in those who makes that need of your help, but not even the half of it. allegedly, the team in white told how they wo, full lack of knowledge of the region of whoa, for lack of knowledge of afghanistan. but also this whistleblower looks at the entire work ethos in white tool at the time. we know that dominic rob was completely nowhere to be seen. in fact that was on holiday as sunbathing as cobble was falling. but that's the attitude that somewhat to filter that down the department with numerous people working from home and the mentality of all, well, somebody else will deal with it. he says it was very dominant. that was a predominant feature in white tool at the time. so these are the allegations that are coming out today. it's all unfolding throughout the day here in the united kingdom, dominic rob himself has already been question numerous times that if all of this is found to be true, will he then resign? of course, his position still remains as the deputy prime minister here in the united kingdom
9:15 am
questions off, but how much longer will he have that position as these allegations i getting from bad to last? i, let's learn more about this now crossway to trevor colt mc afghan war veteran and recipient of the military cross. thanks very much for joining us here and auntie international. the pleasure to have you want. now these are clearly allegations at this point. according to this whistle blower, these are allegations or are they surprising to you? when i hear the word whistle blower at the word hotter, it comes to mind. we're talking about a guy who left university an answer to civil service, who's got no knowledge of the grind, wisconsin or no knowledge of mine. what took place this year? it's this year woocommerce book isn't where we all seem to think we were gonna start a lot, and i need to put out the bed right now. we don't go ok gonna as a single thing. we rehearse 15. so we're going to rehearse over 23rd of the next 5 years or 3030 now sounds we employed 3030. let's get that straight. if anything,
9:16 am
the afghans was, they asked us to go as a coalition fifteenish found to help them fight the tama. we went there, we lost 457 men and women with its surgeons of people that are on the cheese with over 1030 people of our own veterans waiting on compensation. we do not oh, afghans are single. thank while we were there and i don't hear any will sanest while we were there. we were ignored by the african people. we were here that we were shot on. we had to tampa taliban get paid to shoot against the and a we were working with. were always going on patrol cooktop on heroin, undrugged the a and p shot british shoulders in the back. we were abused. the afghan courts refused to acknowledge biometrics. they refused to take on dna. not a single taliban went to jill, and it was a correction after corruption. we were being abused. we don't owe them anything, anything they owe us. so what do you, what,
9:17 am
what do you think about these allegations are from there was so below it and, and, and dominate, rob, who was the foreign secretary at the time. all of the big dis, hoster is pull out from afghanistan. unwilling, really to, to address this potential failure, your thoughts, you know, i keep hearing the subject feeler feeler to address as student you. jasper. the failure lies with the present bad administration who never actually shopped to sit down. i have cancelled with our own prime minister and to explain what was happening. that way we would have been able to react a lot quicker. you cannot react to an ongoing situation when the biggest country in the world pulls out and leaves you dangling. we have 2 members. well, everyone keeps and donate rob this. like rob, that we have a pandemic going on? yes, he was in holiday. he's entitled to holiday. but what was he supposed to ship and aren't hand to go ship with terrorists? because after the taliban are there terrorists? so do you think you think dominic robert is the full guy, the scapegoat in this?
9:18 am
there's always going to be a fall guy. every was written to blame someone. no one's point a finger or the like . so that pan for they already mentioned, i'm going to go dogs, we get more money, the dogs and the you, kate, than we give to that instantly get a hold of somebody. everyone loves a dog ever wants a pet. so he's like, oh the here was the are pan farthing. but let's be honest. and the middle of a wars all you to say you're a pet shop. the guys got something. listen i, trevor colt, mc afghan war veteran recipient of the military cross. thank you very much for your time. i appreciate that, mikey linking refreshed deliveries of roger's s, 400 surface to air missile system are on their way to india. and washington had threatened to sanction new daily if it didn't stop shopping for arms and moscow. that despite that though, the indian and russian foreign ministers inked a new deal on monday, the deal is being implemented. we have seen the attempts of the us to undermine this cooperation and forced india to follow washington's orders and its views on
9:19 am
the development of the region. but our indian friends have firmly stated and clearly explained that they are a sovereign country, and they will decide for themselves whose weapons to buy and which pardons to choose. the diversity of agreements and memorandums of understanding signed shows the multifaceted nature of all by natural partnership supplies have begun this month and will continue to happen. the arms deal was part of a major india russian summit, which also saw the 2 size prolong a joint defense program for the next 10 years. and sign a record number of agreements in trade, energy, culture and more is a recap of how it all went. awe 1st hand shapes friendly hugs, strategic partnership bites of floating around. now to import negotiation.
9:20 am
with issues on the table. energy. vaccines. ah, and military cooperation. including his full 100 missile contracts major here it's in india, nate, relation with english please. all right, let's get some perspective on this right now and i'll speak to international affairs, commented mr. jonathan steele, joining us life aeronautics international
9:21 am
a very good afternoon to you. so why do you think, why do you think india's ties with russia in particular, the purchasing of military defense equipment bothers washington so much? the washington cousin like cantu's kidding too close to kaiser if they're not part of an alliance with washington itself. it's against to the independence of many countries for that reason. gotta go been longstanding relations between india and russia, particularly in beginning in the soviet period. and sir india was non allied in their stacy very carefully refused to be joined into any kind of commodore. one side or the other, and it's trying to do the same now in september. warranty was in washington for some, it was chris biden. doris had president putin and jelly, so it's the same policy of trying to read balance to friendly to all countries. i think, yeah, i think you're right. i didn't know that prime minister. no, no gender motor. he certainly in a difficult position doing a delicate dance, which want to be friends with, with all sides here. but i knew tenure defense pat was sign or what do you think
9:22 am
that means for regional security? india was not very happy that the circle quote was created, which should encourage india, united states in japan and australia. and they felt they had to join it because things with japan originated where it started in years to be getting into japan who was just 2 countries. then austrians and the americans came in. so just thought about, but he doesn't want it to be seen as an anti chinese alliance, even though of course into has its own problems with china. and they've been bought or crashes some recently this year when he doesn't soldiers on both sides killed up in the high and i regions. and so it's one thing to have classes naturally with china. it doesn't want to injure, doesn't want to be seen as part of the regional and ions against china. why? he said there were,
9:23 am
these are september border classes up in the himalayas region that led to the dock region where you had these classes between indian and chinese soldiers. they took 12 rounds of talks between those sides to find a, basically a resolution to all that. but now russia has agreed to continue supply and gets s 400 missile defense systems. now india originally pen this deal with, with moscow back in 2018, but it's taking a few years for the deliveries to, to come, come, come over to india at the same time. china is also a buyer of the s 400 g. think having india and china being neighbors with also issues on their borderline. is it going to be a good thing or a bad thing for both of them to have the s 400 lose a short range missiles only going about 400 kilometers, some service to where they're not. attack resolves the renter, shoot gun incoming missiles, and they do have the capability of fir hitting something you can as it re, enters the atmosphere from space from having been fired wherever it's come from. so
9:24 am
there are very modern missiles, but they are short range as i say. and let's not forget that india and china both nuclear powers. so there's as much more dangerous tension possible than just simply from his weapons. northern steel, international affairs common had a joining us live here on our to international. thank you for your time. we appreciated china has slammed or u. s. boycott over its winter olympics next year as a grave travesty. and one designed to provoke and manipulate. they were done, 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 don't tell you that that off comes am, had tense relations with washington and beijing's political and economic competition
9:25 am
affecting ever more spheres and you at athletes will still compete, however, they just won't be any american officials. the ios, he says it's or it's support and respects biters decision and stress. the importance of leaving athletes out of politics at the white house for it's part side. so concerns about alleged she when 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 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 a reaction of my a pair of guests, they say the by the ministration. who's trying to politicize the winter olympics. it's an unnecessary slide against paging. it's, it, it looks like
9:26 am
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 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 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,
9:27 am
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. so to recap, outbreak and use coming out of moscow right now where 2 people have been killed and 4 others, including a 10 year old child have been injured. and a shooting incident occurred at a public services center. as we had to start a 45 year old man opened fire following an argument with a member of staff over the issue of wearing masks. you're looking at life pictures right here. the shooter was detained by police. he was apparently armed with both
9:28 am
a pistol and a knife and tried to flee the scene after the shooting. we'll have an update on this at the top of the hour or the reps out the program for this half hour. he live from moscow on our team to national we do return to the top of the hour with a follow up of the breaking news on the rest of your daily top headlines. ah, both. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic, development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with
9:29 am
9:30 am
with, ah, this is boom, but the one bid the show you care the board to mit bridge a board. and i'm rachel blevins in washington coming up safe point and skill rilling from an ugly weekend as the world's largest group go currency ball back below $50000.00. so what's behind the losses and how will it affect prediction? well, the scott state department launch is an investigation after their employee were hit by hackers using is reli, spyware will bring you the latest and what it could mean for the world of cyber security. then we pay you to the chinese real estate sector where ever granted
