the largest and most powerful employer in such a situation. it's remarkable to survive, told her breaking news here when archie, international 2 people are killed and for injured at a shooting at a public services center. here in moscow, prices told between joe biden and vladimir putin are now under way triggered by tensions over ukraine. and here at r t, we speak exclusively to the russian presidential spokesman history connected to the rhetoric coming from the u. s. until you lead to sounds pretty aggressive, we see plenty of fake news about russia allegedly punning, an aggressive invasion. the pope condemned as the so called inclusive language of the e u saying it threatens to of blocks very existence. welcome pairing it to that of the nazi regime. also in the program, a whistleblower and the british foreign office. so the u. k. fail to help thousands

of people who would desperate to flee the taliban in afghanistan. ah. and into the evening i was, we go here at moscow now just off to 6 pm. we do start the program with the continuation of uh, breaking news story for you here on auto international, the shooting at the southeast of moscow. as we understand that 2 people were killed, 4 injured after a man opened fire at a public services center. let's our cross live now to the scene. join our correspondent, nicky, aaron, nicky. can you bring us up to speed? what's the latest we know, please? hi rory. well, it's been scenes of absolute chaos and panic on this relatively quiet streets, the se, if most get his afternoon off to 45 year old man. man. i open fire in the city service center right behind me, as you said, killing t people and injuring for others. now we know that we believe that one of those

killed today was an employee at the service center, and it has been confirmed that one of those injured was a 10 year old girl. now the conditions of those 4 people who were injured today is said to be very serious, it's unclear at this point. what exactly led this man to open fire on these people here today? oh, those been reported that there was perhaps an altercation or an arguments over the wearing of protective face mollusks off to which he opened fire and then tried to flee the sea. now fortuitously, that was an off duty police officer, am in the service center at the time he managed to chase off to him and restrain him until the police arrived and arrested the money and took him in for questioning . and then it was found that this man actually had not the knife, a gun, but also a knife on his person. and that man that off duty police officer could be in line for an award for that tremendous active bravery today. now the moscow mer answer gets beyond in he as of course, exp, expressed his condolences to the families of the victims. they lost their lives day

to day and also express the hope for a speedy recovery. for those 4 who were injured in this sad, this tragic. so a ton of events today. all right, nicky, thanks for that. or we did hear from moscow a resident who lives close to the scene of today's shooting. ha was a shooting. they said that the man came in did not want to put a mask on and started shooting. 2 people were killed and a young girl was taken away in an ambulance. i was at home on the internet. i saw sir ben expressed his condolences that the shooting happened at the public services center. i decided to look out the window and the ambulances fire man will raise it here. oh, will you continue to come with us or break her new story or naughty international? as soon as we get the updates, you'll get them to what a high stakes talks are now taking place between the russian on u. s. presidents of the video conference comes and media speculation of a possible full scale russian invasion of ukraine,

despite moscow's repeated assurances that it has no such plans. also, one of the issues to be discussed out of a very much increased nato activity along russia, southern border and the black sea. let's learn more about this right now, crossing live to off course bolden saskia tenant. joining us here on the program. saskia, what are your expectations of going into this meeting? do you think when it's just gone at 6 pm here in moscow? it's 11. am in washington dc, which means that if everything is on schedule, the russian on us present have just sat down on it, is that fust face to face meeting will be at virtually since that geneva summit back in june, they are now conducting not video conference call to so much my left within the continent walls is vladimir putin was joe biden, is in the white house situation room. now, how long those talks are going to last warranty? the big question, what if anything will come out of them? well, it is a question of time we're going to have to wait and see. i know it's

a cliche, but i will become clear within a couple of hours. in the meantime, really all that we can do is speculate in the south me as an awful lot to on pack, according to the white house. there are a number of issues up for discussion, including the general state of the us. russia ties somebody bah, security as well as strategic stupidity. but undoubtedly the main topic of the day will be ukraine. because as you said, washington is absolutely convinced that russia is planning some kind of invasion. and media has almost hysterically been reporting about the presence of russian troops on russian soil opiate along the border with ukraine. in fact, it's got to such an extent that some papers have even started printing potential battle pads. just so you understand kind of the level of fear that we're seeing at being drummed up. and this is one of course, despite moscow saying that has absolutely no intention to invade ukraine. and quite frankly, what its military does in its own land is its own business. so i think are coming from the american specter, we're definitely going to be seeing biden and really showing solidarity few crane

and showing his intent to deter this perceived russian aggression. and suddenly going into what you've had a lot of bellicose language. we've heard ultimatums already from the secretary of state, was somewhat seemed to contradict washington's claim. the only want staple ties since as the crime and no ted. i'm when it comes to frenetic thing, appointing ah, and, and the blame game. it rarely does this lead to conducive right is, is conducive to a. com and sable dialogue is 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 and aggressive invasion at the same time, no one toaster care from non warns care of against even thinking of a military intervention in the done yet, scandal, 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. and even in the most strained of moments when attitudes are not

what i would 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. now, part of the hostile rhetoric that we've been seeing is about a potential consequences of this saw impending, apparently in caution, mainly economic sanctions against individuals against ha, also energy produces against also the north stream to a pipeline. there is also a pony one mutual option on the table and that is kicking essentially russia out of the swift international payment system, which is used by banks all over the world. it seems that the e u a has been consulted on this and it does seem to be on board. but what is also very interesting to note here is that despite the fact, the washington is protecting this image of united western front, where everyone together is going to sort of taken russia that do that don't seem to be some wariness from

a few players. and they are and 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, as well. what moscow wants to achieve. we've already had today a reiteration that only wants good ties with us at the same time. it's obvious that there are a couple of sticking points undoubtedly for president putin. the topic of the day will be nato on its expansion. the last couple of months have seen rising tensions in the black sea region, amid nato spy planes and warship, rudy in the by not killers, range of russian borders for the crime. and this is an outright provocation. and it's yet, and not the aggressive attempt by nature to show we're here, we're right by your board as we're knocking at your door. so i think it's very likely that president putin will be looking for some kind of guaranteed he's

already. and this is a buzzword, but off couple of days, he said that for example, ukraine becoming a member of the military lines is a red line. it would be a security threat to have essentially a native launch pad just across the fence. he will be looking for very specific, legally binding agreements, not a handshake, which you can then back out of to show that nature is not going to expand any farther east and south not going to deploy any weapons along russia's board as to the outcome. well obviously everyone has got their opinion on this, but we did have one very. 5 well known public sector who gave us his 2 pennies, well from what you thought, how it would all pan out 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. so clearly not much faith from the 4th 5th president in his successes, negotiations guild. but on a more serious note, the general consensus does seem to be that there is not going to be really any

concrete progress. in fact, i will say i'm experiencing a bit of data because i was in geneva in june for the summit. i'm really, i'm seeing the same thing play out here. we're hearing a lot of anticipation, lot of expectations were thing a lot of very belligerent, quite aggressive language. washington saying we're going to put pressure on through it and we're going to send a clear signal. show him what we think. and yes, there was no breakthrough. i suspect that it's going to be a very similar situation here. going to be quite a difficult discussion, a very difficult task. i had all the to lead to the course and i will say that is probably not made any easier by the fact that there is one side. where are you going into this conversation saying we don't accept anyone's read lives. we're not really willing to compromise. we're not really must be seeking reconciliation despite of court or biden's claim that he brought diplomacy back. thanks very much for that. we were just, i was just checking the comments from dmitri pasco, as you mentioned, put in a presidential spokesman. he's calling for everyone to keep a cool head. as he talks get underway,

husky attorney will see you soon. 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 a lack of computers, stuff and, and, and with a mix of workers to, to work extra hours. an extraordinary circumstances. the claims we should say, these allegations and claims come from a civil servant who is blowing the whistle on what went on and downing 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. 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 had 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 than but actually he was on the front line here in westminster, dealing i with numerous things for the foreign office added particularly dark time when cobble was being seized by the taliban, he has now put down on paper, really damming allegations against the government and all of these mess ups, multiple mess ups and weitel, particularly around processing applications and email requests from people and to try and get out of the country. he says 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 whistle 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 that he actually volunteered to do, had he not have volunteered without the nobody on that desk dealing with the thousands of applications coming through as for 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 pan father who's an ex marine who had an animal's charity in afghanistan at the time. he in fact allegedly according to this whistle blow. a 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 lifting in those who amongst that need of your help, but not even the half of it allegedly, the team in white or had a woeful lack of knowledge of the region of woeful lack of knowledge of afghanistan, but also at 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, it was on holiday as sunbathing as cobble was falling, but that's the attitude that somewhat filter that down the department with numerous people working from home and the mentality of all, well, somebody else will deal with that. he says that that was very dominant. i was

a predominant feature in whitehall 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 questions off for how much longer will he have that position as these allegations are getting from bad to worse, are still to come here one artesian afternoon on the offensive over india the offensive maneuvers washington reacts with the anger of the moscow supplies new daily with the most advanced as 400 missile defense system. details on that annual . we are back in a month with

ah ah, well oh oh oh, oh, i know. ah, with 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 on offense. very dramatic development only personally and going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk

ah, good if you do join us for this program here on our tea. so fresh deliveries of rushes as 400 surface to air missile system are on their way to india. and washington had threatened to sanction you del, if you didn't stop shopping for arms and moscow. however, despite that, the indian and russian foreign ministers ink to new deal on monday, the deal is being implemented. we have seen the attempts of the us to undermine this co operation and force india to follow washington's orders and its views on 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 partners 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 russia summit, which also saw the 2 sides prolong our joint defense program for the next 10 years . and sign a record number of agreements and trade and energy just quickly hit a recap of how it all went. ah, 1st hand shapes friendly hugs, strategic partnership bites of play, to go around with court negotiation. with issues on the table. energy.

vaccines. ah, and military cooperation. including his full 100 missile contracts, major heritage in india, nate relation with them. although it earlier when you spoke to the director of the monopole university, i'm putting job we told us to west or shouldn't feel threatened by the close friendship between russia and india. it is so completely of destructive for the united states and its western allies to push you are to front strategy of and in the midst of, let's face it a new gold war. the u. s. is of valued security partner,

but it makes absolutely no sense to have a 2nd run. see prime minister movie is very clear on that. the russians have enough friends for about 60 years. russia has always helped india dick the question of nuclear submarines. the americans were refusing to give nuclear summaries. well, russia stepped in, russia is not an enemy of the western world. it is really never been. and 2 considered an enemy is wrong. and i'm very glad that my prime minister, not in the movie, does not make that civil mistake, is not heading that down, that he's continuing on a part of about 70 years, which is a dose defense cooperation with russia. china has slammed the u. s. boy. court of its winter olympics next year, as a grave travesty. and one designed to provoke and manipulate. they wouldn't go us

politicians keep a hyping up a diplomatic boycott without even being invited to the games. this wishful thinking and pure grandstanding is aimed at political manipulation. it is a grave travesty of the spirit of the olympic charter, a blatant political provocation, and a serious affront to the 1400000000 chinese people don't. the side of companies are made are tense, relations with washington and beijing, as political and economic competition affecting ever more spheres. a u. s. athletes will still compete, however, there 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 for the white house, for its fall sites, concerns about issue and 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 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 reaction for a pair of guests, so they say the biden administration is trying to politicize 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 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 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 us 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 brighton 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,

of the olympics space. tourism is all the rage at the moment, at least among the super rich and on wednesday, a ross cosmos rocket will whisk the latest billionaire to the holiday destination of a lifetime of the international space station. danny armstrong looks at how could all pave the way for people like you and me in the future 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 cassock, 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 often by can or cause my job to

oh, really good to see you again. good afternoon i for sure. last time i said we didn't get to see one of it to g 20. ok. next time we meet, we do it in person video, so it's been written. welcome prison biden. oh, hello. okay. good to see you again. i good afternoon. unfortunately. last time i said we didn't get to see one of the g 20 o. next time we meet, we do it in person. this list is not, not a should have it. yeah. well, that was some of the latest pictures of beg your pardon, that just showing up. let me put in and joe biden, that kicking off

a video conference. it's about a 10 26 am in washington dc. it always starts off as i was saying a few minutes ago. it always starts off really friendly and they have a really nice time shaking hands and saying i was so nice to see you. but when the conversation comes to an end, it's almost like back to square one with a inflammatory rhetoric about ukraine, or the nato drills in the black sea along russia, southern coast as well. so, as a dmitri pest gulf the presidential spokesperson said, don't get your hopes up. we're following this on air and on line as well as r t dot com for the meantime. your program returns in about half an hour. ah. with

breaking toil, fullest labor. stress. industrial injury corporal punishment. oh no words with which we're all familiar. are you certain that the well do you live in abolish slavery long ago?
