ah ah, this alice pope adeline serenity, joe biden, is accused by republican himself, so rendering to vladimir putin by dropping russia punishments from a defense bill. this commons, while democrats are dropping, what they're calling the mother of old sanctions targeting monster. now it all comes off to the president of russia, and the united states held crisis told, ultimately triggered by tensions over ukraine. the program, we speak to an afghan family that found a lot. pablo during old with role when desperate parents were just having the kids to western soldiers in any bid to get them out of afghanistan. suddenly i saw this baby on the ground crying in pain to haunt the baby was just wearing a shirt. so it was difficult for me to leave him that kind in the you say,

outrage boiled over a video web key members of boris johnson's team jokingly imply. a christmas party was held in downing street last year despite coven restrictions look downs. mosque sandra, repeated government denials ah, putting into a busy evening here at moscow one ot international just off to 7 pm here on the russian capital. the very will milken to you joe biden, is being branded as spineless for not pushing forward with sanctions targeting rushers north stream to gas pipeline to germany. the most vocal criticism was from republican senator ted cruz. this calamitous foreign policy disaster is jo biden's fault. this is the direct consequence of joe biden. surrender to vladimir potent on nord stream. to

a tirade came as the draft us defense budget for next year and moved up to the senate. a number of antique russian measures though would dropped in the house in its previous fall, the bill included a ban on americans buying russian debt and sanctions on nordstrom to the senate will vote on the defense budget next week at r t. america host balance. one says the removal of sanctions from the bill indicates that the american president does not want them, that the fairly big deal. consider the fact that obviously when the house version was written, as you mentioned, the sanctions were included. the senate version, they're not included, that's something called reconciliation, where essentially the bill has to match. and so it looks like those stations won't be there, which means that the biden administration is actually cutting ties with a lot of the rhetoric of the democratic party right now. in the u. s, which is insistent upon having these kinds of sanction built into the u. s. defense spending bills and it's pretty significant for a couple of reasons. one is because the president himself has been indicating for

some time that he does not want to continue to push forward on things and specifically over north stream too, because of pressure. he's getting from germany, the germans don't like this idea. remember, this is not a unilateral measure on the russian part. russia and germany together are saying we want the pipeline. russia says we want to send oil in natural gas that pipeline. germany says we desperately need oil and natural gas pipeline. but it does as you know, all go back to this issue of ukraine. the idea is that by russia bypass the ukraine, that somehow this will be harmful to ukraine, or they'll be able to have greater leverage over ukraine. and so the rhetoric doesn't necessarily match the reality, and again, you have to sovereign nation insisting that this is something they both want and both need. and i think the u. s. and finally, backing away from this idea that they now recognize they can't stop it from happening. it comes off to the russian. non us leaders held crisis talk size tensions over ukraine and nato expansion along russia's borders continue to mount. after some initial pleasantries biden, apparently ramped up talk about sanctions against russia in case of

a war. since that time, us officials have similarly been proposing nearly any idea the comes to mind, have a listen to this. i would not rule out american troops on the ground. we don't do, you know, we don't rule out. first use nuclear action. well, that's concerning it with more details on the official us position and how the meeting went down. state side is ortiz caleb moment. here is what we heard from the biden administration. they talked about how biden raised concerns about the build up of russian forces near the border with ukraine and from there, talked about how the united states and its allies would respond with decisive economic and other measures if there was a military escalation. now biden called on to de escalate and to return to diplomacy, and he instructed the respective teams to continue dialog on ukraine at the same time we did hear from the national security advisor,

jake sullivan. we still do not believe the president has made a decision. what president biden did today was laid out very clearly the consequences if he chooses to move that, you know, seems to fly in the face of some remarks that we've heard from other us officials. there are new sanctions to be imposed on russia that are currently in the work. these are not run of the mill sanctions. what is being discussed is at the maximum end of the spectrum. or as i have called, that the mother of all sanctions. so there seemed to be a desire on everyone's part for today's meeting to result in a de escalation. however, this hasn't stopped the united states from talking of these new sanctions, and it hasn't stopped us media from playing up. this idea that there is somehow a russian threat or russian aggression. so quite an interesting day, we're waiting for more information from both sides about what went on in the meeting between the 2 leaders. the france, enough, given conscience, is threatened to say if you move into ukraine will hiring, you know,

knowing that if it were, russian was into your train. the us, there is, isn't much the hand besides hi of beside sanctions. but at the same time, i don't think that putting wants to move into ukraine is also, and he is on her and his on side, sending a message. there was an diplomatic agreement that nature will not go farther east. and, and normally in foreign policy, diplomatic agreements are respected and in this case is several of the actors united states pretend, disagreement over it, which is my own research with europeans, every single european actually conf. him was there. so at this point, put in does not trust the ward anymore and he wants legal commitment and and he's writing, asking it to be they frank? well, exceptions do remain a central tool of u. s. foreign policy with us under secretary of state for political affairs,

victoria newland rearing ahead. once again, this time in order to threaten russia. what we're talking about would amount to essentially isolating russia completely from the global financial system with all of the fallout that that would entail for russian business for the russian people, for their ability to, to work and travel and trade washington's also just to rub china up the wrong way, by imposing a diplomatic boycott on the upcoming a winter olympics. it's also just imposed penalties on 14 officials on 4 entities in iran o and in syria as well over alleged rights abuse as well. we discussed the role and impact of sanctions with a panel of guests. essentially, you gotta, you gotta view it and walk into the u. s. american exceptionalism and, and supremacy. and they are basically, they're, they're, they're doing whatever they can. do, you know where we're married?

it's a very arrogant, aggressive policy that they use. and if it really is a means to destabilize the other countries sovereign nations and create economic hardships early, why do you think america is threatening to sanction russia for something that a has not happened? and b will not happen according to the kremlin, i think in one way the political move on, on that side. the other part is that we need it. we need a bogeyman and i think partially, there were luther are in once. and it's kind of like a rabid dog, you know, you start to lash out in, in different ways, trying to protect yourself and, and the only one problem we have is the thinking is this kind of destructive approach to international relations. but it's, it's just so silly because ultimately you saw the brand he was sitting on. how do you think the continental united states is going to survive?

if it makes a devastated mess of the rest of the world? do you think any western power seriously believes russia is about to invade ukraine? you know, it's hard to understand the logic. what could moscow stand to gain from, from starting a war? well, i think that the western governments do well know that this is rather a blame game. they make of the public belief that russia is a real threat to the ukraine at the moment. russia is really in defense because they have to fear that a ukraine will become a part of the nato alliance. and this is, of course, a major threat to the geopolitical setting of russia. cutting russia off. busy from swift would be the most extreme of measures deployed yet. it happened to iran devastated the economy there. is there any chance of washington pursuing what's being called a nuclear option based on their questionable diplomats that they potentially

good. i think be very unwise move, very little impact, i think internally, externally it would, it would kind of back fire. i would think europeans would be very strongly lobbying against such an action. and if you're going to set off to do something like that, presumably that's the goal. well, that's just like opening a black hole under the international banking system. we're seeing what's happening and showing with a grunt warbling and the property market, possibly going down the drain. uncle says that happens that's going to pull down the western banking system potentially during last summer's us troop withdrawals, math canister on many were moved by scenes of desperate parents passing their babies to western soldiers just to get them taken out of the country. unfortunately, at least one child was lost in the chaos at cobbled airport. this introduce you to sir heil. on monday, he was one of those carried along by the crowds. his mother and father were still

desperately trying to find him with the help of organizations. one of which says they have a lead. now it was back in august to help parents fled. i've got this done for the united states. however, that does seem to be a glimmer of hope. now. we've spoken to one african family who say they found a baby at the cobble lab port and our contact on the ground. so it is not very baby lost by the mighty family. or they named him and mohammed and say he's become whenever there are. i love any brother mohammed, he's to important to me and will never hand him over to anyone. my system shall. it was late at night when my brother asked me to help him drive to the airport when he was leaving for the us. when we were there, there was a big crowd and chaos. everyone was pushing to get inside the airport. suddenly i saw this baby on the ground crying in pain. it was too hot and the baby was just wearing a shirt. i was confused, so it was difficult for me to leave him there. he was dying. so i decided to pick

him up. when i moved to each family i saw in the airport and showed them the baby and asked them whether the baby belonged to them. then i asked each mother there to feed him because he was hungry, but no one agreed, his condition was deteriorating, so i took him to some water and put it on his body, wash him and changed his nappy. i waited until 4 pm to find his parents, but couldn't. i had just one bottle of water and i gave him a few drops when he was crying. because he was hungry, i was worried because his condition was not good. it was too hot and he was lying under the scorching heat of the sun. then i contacted my wife and told her that my brother had already left. but i'm still stuck here because of a baby. i told her we are humans and i can't leave this baby alone here while his parents are missing. i also told my brother to leave, but i had to stay until i found the missing parents. or let her bring up a couple of photos for you right now. on the right is the missing boy. so heil

kemati, while on the left is the child and found and cared for by the gen family. though it's not been confirmed, reports do suggest they are one and the same. meanwhile, the jan to say when they found mohammed he was in such a bad state, they had to take him to hospital to say he was just over a month old. what the afghan man who found the child says he's now in touch with a suspected parents, regular english jenny. we kept the baby and contacted many people to find the parents. we contacted the b, b, c, and many others, but failed to fine them. then we uploaded his pictures on social media sites like facebook later, some relatives of a missing baby in barrack sean province contacted us and told us that the parents of the baby are looking for their child. when they saw the images, they recognize him, but they didn't know the whereabouts of the parents. finally i found the contact details of the father of this baby i called and told him about his missing baby and asked him to send me the pictures of his child. so i could verify that he was the real father. then he sent me the pictures and we confirmed your son is with us,

don't worry. his father was so happy to learn about his missing son. we are still trying to establish whether so heil, commodity, unwell, homemade are the same child. meanwhile the jan's family say they've grown to love the baby so much they're willing to adopt. i looked up to him like my own baby. if we found his parents, we would not be able to keep you with us. of course we would hand him over to his real parents. i looked up to him like he was one of my own. i have 3 daughters, but i loved him too much. he was about 4 to days only when we met him. we have seen difficult times with him, he's our soul and we love him too much. if his parents identify him, we will have no option but to hand him over to them. why the fella so nice? the parents of the child are unable to take him back. i am ready to keep this baby with me. in fact, i would not be happy to hand over the baby because we found him there. so if they don't take him, we will keep him with us. we love him darling. well, it's

a remote rushing village, buried deep within the dense forests of the urals. and yet every year, more than a $100000.00 tourists make the arduous trek there. question is why locals talk of strange powers abnormal activities, u f o's? an r t is causing roscoe, went to see for himself. you can catch his trouble login full on our youtube channel for now there is a quick preview. what we're doing here is we're looking for glowing balls in this forest because we are in the, my loca, anomalous zone. go for an alien, han deep in a rush, and 4th, it's pitch dark. in the middle of the woods goose bond guarantee. all pretty happy with indeed shaw the light, the tiny shining shimmering balls and the which are numerous reports of

mysterious fine objects of different sizes and forms rolling balls. busy and human shape figures are used to be a pagan altar, an iron mill, a good log can. and now is just an unassuming russian village in the middle of nowhere that still keeps fascinating. people from across the world. ah, a, a wrong one. i just don't a whole new world is yes, to shape out disdain becomes the african and engagement. it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground.

ah ah ah ah, it is good to have you with us to day. now london police are examining new evidence . the downing street staff party last year during the height of the national cove

in lockdown. i recently emerged video shows 2 staff members joking about the christmas party suggesting it certainly did happen. the former press secretary seen in the footage, allegro stratton, has now resigned them at the fall out saying she will regret it the rest of her life. or is johnson denies? any rules are broken, but the prime minister certainly got a grilling in parliament today. they knew there was a party. thank you. it was against the rules. they knew they couldn't admit it. and they thought it was funny. prime minister has been called right time. why definitely envy investigation right now. but just admitting it, i been repeatedly assured i probably can big news. the news, but there is a risk of doing a great, a grave injustice to people who, frankly, obeying the rules pacifica, the prime minister, the government, spent the week telling the british public. there was no party. all guidance was followed completely. millions of people now think the prime minister was taking

them for fools or many say this could be the final nail in the coffin for bars. johnson, as he's now being accused of lying, or even trying to cover up an alleged christmas party that happened last year. i meant the kobe to restrictions now as you had that from the kid storm at the leader of the opposition, he says the tory party have been caught red handed as multiple forces confirm that this party did indeed happen boris johnson. he insist that he's been assured that it didn't take place, but if you look into the wedding of forest johnson, he didn't flat out, deny it either. now all of this comes off to number 10. officials were caught. joking about this so called party or as they phrased it, this wine and cheese business meeting has the i t v exclusive video. and she recognizes or at home is fictional policy was

a business meeting. i mean, it was not associated. now if a party did happen while stephanie cravat rules were broken, because at that time, london was in tier 3 of the private restrictions, meaning no indoor mixing. of other households was allowed at the time. not to mention the day after this party christmas was cancelled. and tied to restrictions were then announced. now things have really escalated throughout the day today. in fact, the police, even considering launching an investigation into this matter bars, johnson says he will assist with any probe that might potentially happen. but of course, this isn't the 1st time the tory party of been embroiled in such rural breaking sagas. if we look back to the heights of the pandemic, dominant cummings, the prime ministers form a chief aid. well, he travelled 270 miles from london to durham to visit ball, nod causal. then of course, mount hancock, the former house secretary, he was seen,

intimately embracing a colleague, both of which have been rule breaking. and that's really the problem. that's why so many people are angry that those people that are making the rules think it's ok to simply break them. while the political opposition, the house of commons, they say this simply can't go on. and the prime minister's time is up. don't thing street willfully broke the rules, and the more the sacrifices we have all made, the prime minister has a duty. the only right and moral choice left to him at his for his resignation. countless children now growing up without parents while parties were health at number 10, it is an end, so everyone he wasn't allowed to say that final design. my question is very simple. how sounds the prime minister fleet night?

well, the reality has many people were an absolutely heart wrenching position last year. people that couldn't go and visit the dying parents simply because they wanted to stick to the rules. in the meantime, the tories were allegedly out partying. well, i just spoke with a former british home office minister norman baker, who fears the case could see the public question, why they should do anything. the government tells them was a party by that british and the rules were broken. so i think he's lost all credibility, i think frankly, has become a liability not just to this country, but to the conservative party as well. i think his own party pet defending him being given a line to parents to the media, or to find that they've been gotten by the prime minister. so the punish doesn't happen over bogging comfortable truths. he wants to be loved. he wants to be liked to probe a promises delivers and there is

a smell of arrogance about this government. so they can do what they want to hand down the los to other people. and if we are going to apply and be coming forward with this winter, and that's the increase in the likely even today, the people around the country going to say, why should i bother following the rules with the private just doesn't? so the consequences for public health, potentially serious as well. us vaccine producers of enjoyed bumper prophets since the start of the panoramic, a trend that accelerated since the new ami a chronic varied was detected. but the major players are still resisting calls from the world health organization to share the secret formulas and boost global access . the wave of proposal is based on the incorrect notion that the vaccine access is limited due to current levels of manufacturing. the industry is already well on its way to produce and vaccines for the entire world by the middle of next year. if you let the current industry are industry now, work hard and do what they need to do,

i think that it will be sufficient. it will take different companies so much longer . well, after the latest cope, it's trained immersed in southern africa, the top 8 producer, that is a 5 model and the shareholders that they sold their personal wealth skyrocket by $10000000000.00 in just one week. the ceo of durham was one of the biggest windows caching into the tune of get this $800000000.00. but despite a hugely lucrative vaccination campaigns in the west, in occupation rates elsewhere on the world, a pretty low w h o 's director general things that needs to change. low and low and middle income countries are not the 2nd or 3rd priority. the health workers, older people, and other at risk groups have the same right to be protected. i will not stay silent when the companies and countries that control the global supply of vaccines think the world's poor should be satisfied with leftovers. are the director of our

global justice now, nick dared and questions how companies can profits before global health when you're talking about life saving drugs. when you're talking about medicine, the people that are going to make a difference between life and death and going to prevent enormous suffering. and i don't personally believe that they should be business opportunities. but sadly, what we've seen is the richest countries on earth, and thinking on frank scenes that they're never going to need with no plan to even donate them. meanwhile, blocking the ability of other countries to set up and protect their manufacturing bases. so they may be able to make that road vaccines and coming in at the world trade organization to prevent a way forward intellectual property, have in my country, re fax, and coming up to 70 percent of the population. in parts of the african continent. you know that the figure is as low as 3 percent. i mean some of the countries in southern africa where it's belief the on the chrome and merged with spreads only 3 percent of the population of ranks naked,

wanting 10 health workers in the african countries. continents are vaccinated simply can't be right. you k is joining a western diplomatic boycott of the upcoming winter olympics in beijing over alleged human rights abuses. i'm going to borrow johnson made the announcement while making it clear. he doesn't agree with the move. there will be effectively a diplomatic boy because of the there will be a diplomatic voice of the, of the winter. the big invasion, no ministers are expected to attend. i do not think that sporting boy talks all sensible. that remains the policy of the government. when several other european nations are considering a political boycott, while still sending their athletes to china, the vice president of the european parliament said he's in favor. the us and australia started off the trend highlighting china alleged mistreatment of the good muslim minority. the australian olympic chief has distance himself from the campaign, saying it's nothing to do with the athletes. the

a diplomatic guy boycott is a matter for government. and she's seen from the united states government now got all the governments around the world are considering a diplomatic boycott. that is that way at the ambassador's will. and ministers of the country don't attend the games. it's entirely up to the government and not a matter for us as we are politically neutral and it's about the athletes and the to name for the i. c. and i just spoke with the executive dean at the chung young institute for financial studies. i talked to wang when, who praised western politicians for that acting skills. beijing has never invited any officers from the us. you can australia, petite pain today being the only piece, but they declare to book cutting ought to issue their companies to work china. it's like they're fighting their own shadow, but they still have to send that team to that. we not to get the i want to take those, the teachers. you are the good actors and be there and oscar for the best to actually

be jan is a coffee. been to all the holding desk for now trying to scan them is stronger than death in tucson, 8 and any external bodies cannot prevent aging from successfully hosting the when the game. so i think so called a boycott adjuster, politicizing the game. the national teams are sure to be the biggest loser. so i believe that the athletes of those countries, we all hate the feature, the better much all in pink games is for the p for future. so i believe that to any countries, including a huge or not to follow the u. s. u k, los treated and less spot belong to support and takes to politics turning dislike into dollars. a budding entrepreneur in america and the state of massachusetts is open to shop, selling anti bided merchandise. and while many business owners have been,

oh oh oh oh no. i think it's fantastic. i'm from now to tell and i absolutely love it. it's great. now absolutely job. i'm glad that people are started and defend the right people most surprises for them. well, it's been a pleasure. have you with us for this program here on archie international from me role researcher in the studio, my colleagues in the newsroom and in the gallery. thank you for joining.
