ah, ah ah, crisis talks laughing 2 hours between joe biden, oliver moore potent have not wrapped up the video cole was triggered by tensions of over ukraine will go live to our correspondent in moments. rick and hughes, also this hour and 2 people are killed on 4 more injured in a shooting of a public services center. in moscow, the pope condemns the e u saying it's acting like a nazi dictatorship for imposing supposedly inclusive rules on language to be used in the block de whistleblower in the british foreign office say the u. k. abundant thousands of the nations allies desperate to leave the taliban in afghanistan.

ah, live from moscow? this is our t my names, you know neil on 30 minutes of news and views start now. joe biden on vladimir putin hub, just concluded a 2 hour video called the russian and american leaders had plenty to discuss that mid rumors of an impending conflict over ukraine and heightened nato activity in the black sea as cross to archie south via taylor who has been following developments from danton moscow saskia pretty lengthy discussion between the 2 leaders of the bell ring i there is anything emerging as yet regarding what exactly was talked about while the much dissipated pretty

a high stakes video conference club between the russian and u. s. president has officially wrapped all in all we know that the 2 leaders spoke for just over 2 hours. it is too early, unfortunately, to say what was agreed or not. we are expecting no statements from the white house and the kremlin into coals that that. c might be a delay in that since president bite is set to speak to european leaders, including the french president and the german chancellor about what was said to day . why i thought to secure video, cool, white official, what is yet to command? and that is obviously something that we're hotly anticipating ah, international reaction has starting with the austrian foreign ministry, which praised the 2 for coming together in these new tents at times. very different reaction to disappointment already in joe biden, even though we haven't even found out what he said yet, and that was apparently because they were, i expect you all the hoping that he would talk tough with his russian counterpart instead, what they saw was him waving smiling and even will me greeting him. yes,

greetings mister president. hello. unfortunately, last time i said we didn't get to see one another. the g 20 o. next time we meet, we do it in person. well, for a few harsh critics out that i was tantamount to treachery and it's happening wasn't bite and living up to his promised that he was going to put vladimir putin on the spot. what was said off to that greeting, which was, by the way, so far, the only public footage shown to us was unknown. what we do know though, is that it was strictly one on one that the 2 presidents were alone in those rooms . apparently that even translated were in separate rooms and i don't know you might have caught it in that put it. but that was in fact a button on the president putin's desk. and apparently that bottom was of course, to try and make any contact with someone outside of room if you need to, that just to really exhibit that he was kind of out that by himself in his residence in thought she was why the meeting was taking place. from his end assessment, that was

a wide range of topics on the agenda and to get through from strategic stability, cyber wolf, a regional stability. specifically with regards to afghanistan, probably the most anticipated topic, the one that took up the biggest bulk of the conversation was ukraine. you can't really have missed it in recent days. washington, i absolutely convinced the roches tiny, some kind of invasion as soon as the new year at the media, only adding to the hysteria by speculating about why thy russian troops amassed on russian soil along the border with a ukraine despite moscow repeatedly saying, and in fact, reiterating just a couple of hours ago there has abs, you know, hostile intentions when it comes to its neighbour coming into the cool, the biden administration was very adamant that this was completely unacceptable. and it's very, i had very bellicose language warning that that would be dire consequences if an incursion what to take place? mainly it sounds in the form of economic sanctions, the most nuclear option of those being kicking russia out of the swift

international payment system used by thanks. of course, all over the world, given how much the ukraine suasion has dominated headlights and recent days and weeks. i think it's almost a guarantee that it will get to mention any, any statements that come through. and another thing i will find you say, is that probably something that would have been touched upon stephanie was at the top o president putin's concerns was moscow's red line. that is nato expansion. on specifically a ukraine becoming about the state of the military ally. they have the competency, sensitive and recent months, as we've seen, nato spy planes being a school it out of russian asked facebook by russian jets who seen american bull ships in those warts as to whether the president putin would have been able to get any guarantees from president biden, the native would not expand eastwood or by any weaponry would be deployed to long roches boards. this is something that i know it's appreciate, but our neat time will tell. i'm so that was a lot of hype around the cool i just as i was around the,

in face to face to face on my end, geneva in june. but that was unfortunately very little expectation. that would be a neat breakthroughs. i think that at this stage, what we could call a success and progress is the 2 sides agreeing to continue engagement on the very highest levels of diplomatic communication and agreeing also to not raise the temperatures any farther. yet we, we have to see what the main use lines will be our t correspondence. belsky a tailor taken us through the nor there has been a deadly shooting in south east moscow. this choose, they 2 people have been killed for more injured, including a 10 year old child. after a man opened fire of the public services center nikki, or, and reported from the scene earlier. one has been, seems of absolute chaos and panic on this relatively quiet street to the southeast of moscow. this afternoon. after a 45 year old man opened fire in the city service center right behind me,

as you said, killing 2 people and injuring for others. now 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 mosques off to which he opened fire and then tried to flee the sea. now pituitary, there 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 man and, and took him in for questioning. jamara boucher, mr. i was at my workplace and had a far alarm as well as the sound similar to a gunshot, than i saw, a man running towards the exit of the building. at that moment, i made a decision to detain him,

and i ran off to him. he resisted arrest. i saw he was carrying a knife and a farm. when i was detaining him, i made sure he couldn't use these weapons and neutralized him. 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 has of course expect 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 turn of events, it today or we spoke to a man who knew all of the people killed in the shooting is laquon silex, in a new alexei were slave we bought together for about 4 months. i was a quote from attendant, he was a security guard. he was a kind, hard working man, a good man. there were never any problems with him. and he always told me funny

stories and anecdotes. i found out early, it's a day that they were ambulances in place where we thought it was a bomb threat to all. they'd been a fire, but we found out they'd been a shooting with dead and wounded. and among the dead, i saw the name of that man. i was well also this of his foot will, will continue to monitor this story of course 1000 when more verified information comes i, it's us to the details of a who was killed and injured in it. we will bring you those significant updates as they come in. hope frances has warned the e u that it's in danger of bringing about its own done full. if it doesn't tone, done its desire to impose one way of thinking on all even compared its methods to the nazi regime. the pontiff was referring to a european commission drive to mic official communications more inclusive, including reportedly a suggestion that staff say holiday period instead of christmas ortiz, charlotte davinsky has more 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 have tried to do this kind of thing. think of napoleon, think of the nazi dictatorship, the communist one. it is a fashion of a watered down secularism, distilled water. it is something that throughout history hasn't worked well that document was canceled 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 delay and has in the past, backed and said she wants to move towards. but this document which contained 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 did delete this document. now polk francis also talked about the idea of a document like this essentially weakening democracy. he said when national values are being sacrificed and they see something that was meant to unify europe as instead what it's done is sewn even deeper divisions. and the pope himself warned that something like this could cause the fall of the you itself. brussels must be

careful not to take the path of ideological colonialist, zation, which could end up dividing countries and causing the european union to fail. well, was that document was cancelled 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 supposed 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 and new delivery of rushes, s 400 surface to air missile system is on its way to indian washington has threatened to sanction you delhi, for buying arms from moscow,

regardless the indian on russian foreign ministers in the 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 summits, which also saw that 2 sides prolong a joint defense program for the next 10 years. a record number of agreements and trade energy culture and more besides were signed as well. here's a recap of how it, when ah

shapes, friend be hugs. strategic partnership bites avoids you around. now, 2 important negotiation. a lot of the public option with issues on the table. energy. vaccines and military cooperation. including his full 100 missile contracts major here it's in india, nate relation with

earlier we spoke to the director of money power university in punjab, who told us the west 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 pursue or to front strategy of and in the midst of, let's face it a new cold war. the u. s. is of valued security partner, but it makes absolutely no sense to have a 2nd run. see prime minister on boarding is very clear on that. the russians have enough friends for about 60 years. russia has always helped india big. 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 have considered an enemy is wrong. and i'm very glad that my prime minister not ingram already does not make that similar mistake. he's not heading that down that he's continuing on a part of about 70 years, which is a dose defense cooperation with russia. ok on a busy news day. another story to bring you to a french police have arrested a saudi national suspected of involvement in the murder of jamal cash or g. the journalist was killed and dismembered inside the saudi embassy in istanbul. 3 years ago from more. let's cross life, so ortiz, he'll up my pen at killa, but we all remember the event so vividly. what do we know today from french officials? what are we learning? well, from what we understand,

one of the suspected killers of jamal to shoji the saudi journalist has been arrested at an airport near paris france. now the individual is reported to have been a member of the royal guards of saudi arabia, and he is reported to have been directly involved in the killing of jamal ca, shoji. now it's important to note this comes just days after the french president visited saudi arabia. met with ben solomon and they had conversations. so interesting development. now from what you will recall, it was back in 20183 years ago, jamal cas shoji went to the saudi consulate in istanbul, reportedly to pick up papers for his planned marriage. from there, he was killed at, reportedly dismembered this point, his remains have never been found. now initially, it was saudi arabia denied any involvement in his killing from there. we saw saudi

arabia go as far as blaming it on a rogue elements within their security services. there were 8 people who were sentenced up to 20 years in jail for being involved in the killing. however, there have been a number of reports that indicate that the saudi crown prince and de facto ruler, mom had been solomon was involved. now, despite international condemnation of the killing, at this point, there hasn't been any us response. there has been no penalty, really imposed on saudi arabia by the united states. so we'll wait to see what happens with this latest development with one of the suspected killers of jamal shoji being arrested in france. came up. thanks very much for bringing this through to our team. caleb, my pin live in new york. okay, that is where we are leaving here for a few moments. stay with our international back after this. ah ha,

monitors driven by drink shaped banks. concur sent those with dares sinks. we dare to ask oh, when else shows seemed wrong. when all things just don't hold any world, yes, to shape out disdain becomes the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground.

with ah, 20 minutes past the are you are very welcome back. thousands of people desperate to flee the taliban in afghanistan. many of whom work for the british armed forces have been left bay hinds without any help from london. now that is the claim from a former staffer at the foreign office who is blowing the whistle in a damning report, it's left official scrambling to defend their actions. it would just seem axiomatic to me that if the foreign secretary is going to be away, the permanent under secretary isn't going to be away. i shouldn't be more visible to all people who are working on the crosses. risking people don't have reflected on this. my time again, i would have come, come back,

i've gotten it. you don't need to repeat it. i'm going to say it again. you know, i have reflect was 30 carefully and if i had my tone again, it would come but it sounds less credible every time. you repeat, it sounds prosecutor's last cross or a london base correspondence. shoddy address, dusty to fill in more in this for his high, shoddy plenty of damaging claims being made against the british government over the police. back in august. can you take us through the specifics? well, that foreign affairs committee was uncomfortable viewing, but certainly uncomfortable for those top civil sevens in government. it must have been a very difficult time for them as they were facing a grilling this afternoon. it photos of course the testimony from an now whistleblower in the foreign office. raphael marshall who is working on the desks during those very dark times when couple is being seized by the taliban. now he said, up to a 120000 people were contacting the foreign office here in westminster,

pleading for the hope, saying you've got to do something. you've got to save us from the taliban, but only 5 percent received any assistance from the british government. which this man, this was a blow, it says thousands of people are left behind. but also ultimately thousands of people's lives were lost. 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. h m g, therefore transported animals which were not at risk of hom, a direct expense of evacuating british nationals and people at risk of imminent murder. including interpreters who had served with the british army. what this whistleblower is now saying in the foreign office was totally unable to read, let alone respond as to the cohort. the thousands of people are writing to them, arguing that this was due to a work from home culture and the very fact that numerous people were away on

holiday. and now that does indeed ring a bell dozen tier. of course, if you take your mind back to the heights of august when cobble was falling, while dominic rob was simply nowhere to be seen. in fact, he was sunbathing on holiday. but it seems as though he wasn't the only one away on holiday as we had there, a senior's civil servant was still on holiday 11 days after the taliban took over the region. now the problem with all of that is the very fact with these top civil servants in government were away leaving junior staff members or to deal with a humanitarian crisis that was unfolding. this is way above their pay grade, but also way above their skill set to an arguably they couldn't take on the workload of the tool, meaning that thousands of people were just left waiting for their emails to be responded to in their inbox. c i estimate between 75100. 50000 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 well, another controversial matter as the fact that cats and dogs were given priority over human beings and that indeed is allegedly at a highest level as well. the prime minister apparently used considerable capacity. i tried to wangle the situation to get pen fall things animal char, to the animals that he was looking off to back here to the united kingdom and all gib lee, a head of prioritizing, a desperate people that were trying to flee the taliban. now, forrest johnson has since denied all of that this afternoon, but the grilling isn't just at boris johnson. it's also out dominic rob then foreign secretary here allegedly took hours to respond to even the most simplest of questions. apparently, he didn't fully understand the situation in the regional tool,

and according to this whistle blow up, there was the entire team that was woefully how to woeful lack of knowledge when it came to the situation of afghanistan. now despite all of these, damming allegations, boris johnson is still buying the same drum, singing the same mantra that the u. k. did an excellent evacuation job the operation pitching to it and if 15000 people out of come in the way that we did over the summer was one of the upstanding military achievements. i think that the role of the foreign office, the roman fee born from everybody involved and more fierce officials. they did a map super excited to well, what we've really seen her today is some pretty damning allegations. not just against dominic rob, not just against lawrence johnson, but now the government as a whole. this is a whopping 40 page document. this testimony that really goes into all sorts of

allegations against the government. basically saying that the united kingdom let people down, but not only that, not only letting people down, but it cost people's lives or correspondence. shoddy edwards touch the live from london will stay with the story we spoke to ruthy hotter qu, previously worked as an interpreter for the british forces in afghanistan. much like shall he was going through there. he sees missteps in the evacuation ever cost lives. although it was a very current situation in afghanistan, it was a chaos. however, it could have been managed much, much better way to, to evacuate as many of those partners in interpreters or who have served the british government in frontline, there was mismanagement, not only in the frontal or in, in cobbled city a b, a port gate, but also hid in the u. k. all those who are trying to reach people in the

government. there they did. the response was very slow. and for many it was too late. one of the soldiers that the, the sniper of the triple 3 who got killed in front of his family, just before he was killed, he send me a message that her brother, ah, i'm sure you know me. i've sent you all my documents. please make sure that i'm on the list. however, today he is dead. he didn't receive his paperwork on time, which resulted him in, in, in that kind of a situation where we have contacted the british foreign office about the whistleblowers claims and will bring you any response. china has slammed a u. s. diplomatic boy count of its winter olympics next year, calling it an attempt 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. the stand off comes amid tense relations with washington and beijing's political and economic competition affecting ever more spears. us athletes will still compete, however, there are just won't be any american officials, the i o c say that respects biden's decision on stress. the importance of leaving athletes, art of politics, the white house for its part sites concerns about a lead human rights violations in china. and that by new ministration will not send any diplomatic or official representation to the beijing 2022 winter olympics and paralympic games given the peer scenes ongoing, genocide and crimes against a humanity. and 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 from a pair of guests. they say the biden administration is trying to politicize the winter olympics. it's an unnecessary slide against paging. 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 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 us stand or the proliferation of nuclear weapon to australia. the bigger

question now is whether other countries will follow washington fleet and in post, similar boycotts, and how china will respond. it's always unfortunate when you know the olympics is politicized. but i do think that the trend in american and china relations, despite the brief moment of, of call that seem to be expressed in the, in the video conference between general secretary, she and president biden, that that seems to have passed. and we're back to a more overtly hostile attitude. it's interesting, of course, that american athletes will still be competing. american corporations that sponsor the olympics and broadcast out on television, of course don't want to lose out on their revenues. so i think that there's a very interesting dichotomy here between this attitude on the part of the government and the broader position of the olympics. with a deeper dive into the us or indeed any of this our stories can be find on our

website to give it some of your schooling time today. bye for now.
