5:01 pm
. from moscow to the world, this is your art pleasure to have your company. my name's you know, neil for a top story. vladimir put jew bite and i've concluded what was a 2 hour video cole, focusing on fears of a military escalation in ukraine. the kremlin on the white house have revealed the key talking points on taking us through that ortiz husky tiller. oh. 7 good, i'm sorry, mitchell, expectation that would be made to break is i think that is probably the big takeaway of the day after that. and which number of topics is discussed in fiber will for to, to put it to regional stability or regional conflicts rather including or with iran . i would discuss both sides have now issue statements. i will say that there is quite a big difference of both the content and the tone are all 3 points in which they do
5:02 pm
converge fast. us and russia will continue to walk diplomatic. moving forward to that, the bulk of the conversation was dedicated to ukraine and 3 that indeed bytes and did lay out punitive measures. if any type of attack, what to happen on ukraine for the difference is there are quite a few regarding ukraine, the u. s. statements quite broadly, just said that the president biden had reaffirmed his commitment to ukraine sober soon was seeking de escalation. that's all. now from the kremlin, what we're in fact hearing is that president putin very clearly laid out the numerous ways in which keith has violated. and continues to violate the mental agreements. just reminder, it's a list of protocols that are in place to settle the conflict in the dumbass region of easton ukraine. and another thing which completely didn't get any mention in the white house statement, was linked to moscow's concerned about aggressive nato activity on its expunged
5:03 pm
mistake allison, the responsibility should not be shifted onto the shoulders of russia. since it is nato, that is making dangerous attempts to control ukrainian territory and is building up his military potential at our borders. russia is seriously interested in obtaining reliable, lengthy binding guarantees that need to would not expand east or deploy offensive weapon systems in states bordering on russia. but if the white house is response to that, which basically said that no one's going to dictate nature, what do you crank could still very well become a member? if that's anything why than it looks like the military lines mover made a major sticking point in us. russia ties, you know, maybe because more time was taken in touring it up on the kremlin site. it does strike me that the russian statement is more detailed. it also is more descriptive when it comes to concrete suggestions laid out by the 2 leaders. now, one particular positive one was made by fly to mate putin. he suggested that any functions and limitations on diplomatic missions in the 2 nations be removed. meaning that essentially, dip madsen,
5:04 pm
i was to stop could get back to work as usual, that would ease that body and that would be no more tip the top expulsions. the final difference i would note is in total, the premise came out and said, yes, there are still problems. we agree about that. but in general, i would say that it was a constructive conversation. now, the white house, we saw really a continuation of quite aggressive rhetoric before coming in to the court. it was all about pressuring through turn, and i and making those warnings and threats clear. and so for me, those moments seemed to be about projecting strength about of being some kind of power pay between $2.00 leaders rather than what it really is, which is a bit to breach the gap between 2 nations at a time when relations have never been. so bad, but you know what, given how tie us right? russian relations have been in recent months. i think that even these 2 statements with all that differences, however bland, they might seem without any real, a promise of change, even that at this point could be seen as a big success. saskia tiller and for the take across the atlantic on today's video
5:05 pm
meeting between the 2 leaders. let's bring in or us correspondent caleb martin, kill if evening. what's been the reaction there then took us through it? i'll the court topic of the press conference that went on and the aftermath of the meeting was media ramping up. hysteria and fears that somehow russia may be planning to injure thee or invade or attack ukraine. now it's important to know we did hear from the national security advisor, jake sullivan. he did speak to the press and he said, quote, we still do not believe that present pollutant has made a decision to quote further invade ukraine. now that you know, seems to fly in the face of some remarks that we've heard from other us officials, jen, saki, the white house spokesperson continued to play up this notion of russian aggression . here's some of what she said to fresh were to invade, invade ukraine,
5:06 pm
prevents of russia and president prudent from invading ukraine, and most importantly, not to invade russia. and president putin decides to invade ukraine. now it's important to note that even though the national security adviser said they felt that raja had not made such a decision, there are new sanctions to be imposed on russia that are currently in the works. we heard victoria newland testifying about these new sanctions before the u. s. senate committee, here's what she said. what we're talking about would amount to essentially isolating russia completely from the global financial system with all of the fall out that that would entail for russian business for the russian people for their ability to, to work and travel and trade. so there seemed to be a desire on everyone's part for today's meeting to result in
5:07 pm
a de escalation. however, this hasn't stopped the added states from talking of these new sanctions, and it hasn't stop us media from playing up. this idea that there is somehow a russian threat or russian aggression. so quite an interesting day, i were waiting for more information from both sides about what went on in the meeting between the 2 leaders. r t corresponding kill of my pin in new york. thank you very much. below the u. s. is preparing the quote mother of all sanctions against russia, if it invades ukraine. now the threat from democratic senator bob menendez comes despite repeated statements from the kremlin, that there is no such plans. the most drastic measure on the table is cutting russia off from the swift payment system, which banks used to move money around the world that's been confirmed by the us state department, backed off by the foreign minister of last year. who says that you needs to take
5:08 pm
tough action against moscow. if a swift boy caught happens, it would be quite considerably the toughest measure taken against russia to dates night despite the aggressive rhetoric as we follow those numerous developments and us russia relations here set one more on all the few american lawmakers have not included some anti russian measures in the 2022 u. s. defense budget draft that was in the heis draft, including sanctions against the new stream to gas pipeline on a bomb on americans buying russian debt. that's to as well for more in this less frost, like to r t america host, been sworn, been delighted to have you on the program. something original, at least her sanctions going the other way, you know, thing is those sanctions against the pipeline. they're not in the defense bill,
5:09 pm
but the threat is still there are hard. you see it, the thread is there. look, i think the problem that the congress has right now is they want very badly to punish russia for this pipeline. the problem is, is that russia is not the only entity involved in the pipeline. germany is obviously heavily involved as well. the bottom line is, it's a, as a sovereign state issue here, right? the russian say we want the pipeline. germany says we want the pipeline and both of these sites are essentially telling the united states to back away with germany, putting a lot of pressure on, on president biden, to say do not get involved and do not continue to issue sanctions regarding the pipeline. because in case you haven't noticed, europe is suffering from any normally energy crisis right now and badly need the, the gas, the natural gas in the oil that would come through nord stream too. and so right now, while the united states has wanted to play this game, the biden administration is quietly backing away and beginning to kind of break ranks with democrats and the democratic party to say,
5:10 pm
let's just not include sanctions on the pipeline issue because it's creating too much of a problem with germany. cartoon america, host bend swan that ticking us through our band. thanks very much for your time today. thank you. there's been a deadly shooting in south east moscow. a gunman kill 2 people and injured for others, including a young child inside a public services center and choose their nikki. aaron, can tell us more. 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 with 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
5:11 pm
open fire on these people here today. although it's 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. yeah, boomer, a butcher. mr. i was at my work place and had a far alarm as well as the sound similar to a gunshot yell when i saw a man running towards the exit building. and you know, at that moment i made a decision to detain him. and i ran off to him, he resisted arrest i. sylvia was carrying a knife and afar off. but when i was entangled, i made sure he couldn't use these weapons brazil and neutralized him go. 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
5:12 pm
for an award for that tremendous active bravery today. now the moscow mer answer gets beyond in he has caused 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 licky urine always spoke to a man who knew one of the people killed in the shooting. is local and silly, soon lose. i knew alexei ross left. we worked together for about 4 months. i was a club crim attendant, he was a security guard. he a good. he was a kind hard working man, a good man. oh, you said were never any problems with him soon. and he always told him funny stories and anecdotes. so her ocean, which i found out earlier today that there were angela says, the police head owed to the us. we thought it was a bomb threat. but there would be no fire, but you found out that there would be an issue with dead and wounded owners. and among that then i sold the name of that man. i was also the service photo. thanks for leasing. yeah, harling developments in central moscow. we will continue to monitor at that,
5:13 pm
sorry from choose the afternoon stroke evening. there on any and all significant developments will bring them to another story we're across to day. pope frances now has worn the ear that it's in danger of bringing about its own don't fall. that's if it doesn't tone done its desire to impose one way of thinking on all even compared its methods to quote the nazi dictatorship. that of the catholic church was referring to a european commission drive to mc official communications. more inclusive, including a suggestion that staff say holiday period instead of christmas hears ortiz, charlotte davinsky 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
5:14 pm
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 aborted down secularism, distilled water. 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 contained many other examples like not treating people as ladies and gentlemen,
5:15 pm
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. instead what it's done is shown even deeper divisions. and the pope himself warned that something like this could cause the fall of you itself. brussels must be careful not to take the path of ideological colonial, like 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
5:16 pm
commission is supposed to dot the eyes cross the t's, make sure that any document that's published is exactly what it wants to be says. it doesn't to track the sort of criticism we've seen over this document, and 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 political analyst nicholas markovich thinks the pope's intervention shows just how far the e u elite has drifted from the views of citizens. for many people who dreamed of building europe after world war, they never thought of this. this is the europe. unfortunately, brussels though at the and the super elite in europe today who are copying was coming out of the american campuses. this is relayed by mainstream media by major corporations and they're trying to re engineer the society. this has nothing to do
5:17 pm
with tackling the sanitary situation. with a fighting against poverty, with helping the countries integrate this has nothing to do. this is social re engineering. this is quite scary. and this is coming from a top bottom, a momentum with again, this super late, which is wanting to dictate to people how they're supposed to think what they are not to say again, if you just think about the document, the essence of the document. this is, this is frightening. this is the essence of the author to author rotarians, and this is a series of totalitarianism. tell people what they're supposed to think and say another story to bring you to a china has slammed a u. s. diplomatic boy called of it's a winter olympics next year, calling it an attempt to provoke and manipulate they wouldn't go us politicians keeping up a job to matic boycott without even being invited to the games. this wishful thinking and pure grandstanding is aimed at the political manipulation. it is
5:18 pm
a grave travesty of the spirit of the olympic charter. a blatant diligently provocation of jimson and a serious front of the 1400000000 chinese people don't to tell him. the stand off comes amid tense relations with washington on 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 says it respects jo biden's decision and stress the importance of leaving athletes out of politics. the white house for its part sides concerns about a legit human rights violations in china. as the by name ministration will not send any diplomatic or official representation to the beijing 2022 winter olympics and paralympic games given the pierre scenes ongoing genocide and crimes against a humanity. and john and other human rights abuses. the athletes on team usa have
5:19 pm
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 gas on this. they both think washington is trying to politicize the chinese games. it's an unnecessary slight against paging. 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 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 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
5:20 pm
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, 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.
5:21 pm
thousands of people desperate to flee the taliban in afghanistan. many of whom work for the british armed forces were left behind without any help from london. that's the claim from a former staff for the foreign office, whose loan the whistle and a dumbing report, its left official scrambling to defend their legit actions. i 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 should have been more visible, tall people who've worked in the process of risk recently or have reflected illness or trying to get, i would have come, come back. i've gotten it done. need to repeat it. i'm going to say it again. you know, i've reflect swimmers 30 carefully and if i hurt my tone again, it would accomplish it sounds less credible every time you repeat, it sounds prostitutes well uncomfortable watching, but certainly uncomfortable for those top civil servants have in westminster sat there facing an absolute grilling at the foreign affairs select committee this afternoon. of course it follows his testimony from
5:22 pm
a now whistleblower in the foreign office. raphael marshall who was working on the desks during those incredibly dark times as copper was falling to the taliban. now he said, up to a 120000 people were frantically e mailing the foreign office here in westminster, begging and pleading for their assistance, saying you've got to help us. you've got to save us from the taliban. now he's blaming it on a lack of staff. i work from home culture here in the united kingdom at the moment, but also he's blaming it on the very fact that members of staff are away on holiday . the foreign office, most senior civil servant, didn't return to the united kingdom some 11 days later. the problem with all of that though is that these senior civil servants were leaving junior members of staff to deal with this crisis, dealing with issues that a way above their skill set. and also the amount of emails that were coming through just left many of those emails on red in the inbox i estimate between 75150000
5:23 pm
people applied for evacuation. many of these emails were not right. 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 controversy all matter is the fact that cats and dogs were given priority over human beings. 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 arguably ahead of prioritizing 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 is also out. dominic rob then foreign secretary here allegedly took hours to respond to even the most simplest of
5:24 pm
questions. apparently, he didn't fully understand the situation in the regional tool, and according to this whistle blow up, it was the entire team that was woefully how to woo, full 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 and if 15000 people out of come in the way that we did over the summer was one of the outside the military achievements. i think that the loan to the foreign office to enrollment fee of $1.00 function everybody involved in it won't be sufficient, but they didn't come up cpr starting to fall. what we've really seen here today are 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
5:25 pm
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. shantia edwards dashti. we have contacted the british foreign office by the way about the whistle blowers claims on will bring you any response. that is our wrap up of a very busy news day. i'm signing off or not, but to stay close as more great programs. they're just beginning find out what's an offer where you are after the break. ah, with what is the national mood? i suppose it depends on what kind of media you consume to say the nation is divided in highly partisan is an understatement. this is certainly what the national media
5:26 pm
wants us to think. what are we really so divided on what really matters? is it on you being a you oh no, no, no. what they did in a valuable mm hm. mapping my middle now i own my head up, my diana, that i didn't thought it's not going to happen. any knuckle. my love, bob, you didn't thought now? well, i'm up at a bit a well, i'm really happy to lation suburban. yeah. now we thought, yeah, it's not in and look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a
5:27 pm
robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where said shorter is it conflict with the 1st law? show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at that point obviously is to trust rather than say, a job with artificial intelligence. real. somebody with a robot must protect this own existence with ah, i am ass kaiser. this is the case report last a talk about stacy max. one thing you can learn from history is that the elite,
5:28 pm
when everything starts to go wrong, but they always do. is blame the people. right? says 2016 we've seen. of course, the people be deemed deplorable. they are deplorable people who deserve all the stuff coming to them because of the co locked downs. for example. well, as kaiser report has been warning, inflation is roaring, is no longer transitory. it's almost permanent, right? well, us treasury secretary, yellen, consumer spending in the united states has been concentrated on goods, which has exacerbated supply chain issues significantly. so it's the consumers, the citizens, the residents of this country who are to blame for the inflation because they keep on buying things with all of their biden bucks and all of their asset price gains.
5:29 pm
because remember, house prices are up 20 percent year on year 2 years in a row. everybody's failing rich, and they're spending. right, well we've been talking about this inflation story now for several years because it's a disaster waiting to happen. as, as early as, as recently, 67 months ago, the official policy from janet yellen and others was that the economy was suffering from deflation. and we said that was actually a very so fast way to look at it. that was a manipulation of words. the problem was insidious and incipient and growing inflationary pressures, as evidenced by the explosion and asset prices. and we said this wasn't basically lying on behalf of the federal government. then we entered into the transitory inflation phase that we're, we're exiting now, but this was very predictably coming after the lies about inflation,
5:30 pm
didn't work anymore, and the real inflation hit. now we're at another juncture where they're saying that it's really now entering a secular inflationary period, a semi permanent inflationary period, exactly. as we predicted for a very simple reason. when you print 40 or 50 percent of the nation's money supply within the preceding 12 months, you get inflation. i mean it's like 2 plus 2 equals 4. java yell and blaming consumers for buying stuff is the kind of the height of hypocrisy. and it's the height of cognitive dissonance and is the height of the american empire to be quite frank. i mean, this is the n folks. danielle is a buffoon. joe biden is mentally incompetent. and j powell is a crock. well.
