whole had learning this how it no longer a beacon of democracy and perhaps never was. but major international poll reveals startling thoughts on america's image abroad, especially as most countries surveyed are about to take part in a democracy summit posted by the u. s. u. s. treasury threatens american journalists with heavy fines if they were for certain publications. one author, daniela's it shares his story with us treasury powers. it was enormous of that of a, of an individual freelance journalist as i was microscopic. but some of them are so frightened or unwilling even to give interviews like this one. and the number of countries registering the new own chrome strain of cove. it holden devils to 57 since last week. with w h o talk to our to see about the threats it poses. i'm really hopeful that 1st of

all, the act vaccines will work reasonably well. and secondly, that this doesn't prove to be a much nasty virus than the earliest, right? ah, and i was good, happy with his life from moscow. this is alex he international. i'm calling bray with the headline. stories were tracking for you this. our 1st over a 100 nations are going to take part in a democracy summit over the next 2 days. i was to by u. s. president joe biden, and america is setting the bar, dividing the world into who it thinks so the good and the bad something the china says it's got no moral right to do may finally all the food. oh good. yeah. the u. s claims to be a champion of democracy and human rights, but has hidden its dark past and hypocrisy to day. the u. s. has no moral authority to judge whether the rest of the world is democratic or not. no matter how the u. s . classes over itself, it's true face of seeking again many under the guise democracy has long been

exposed to the world. the so called summit for democracy. well, let me go down in history as a manipulator and sabotage of democracy. we went ahead of the gathering over 16000 people from around 16 advanced economies, took part in major research on america's image abroad. and the results don't make good reading for washington either more than half of respondents, i don't think the united states is a good example to follow almost a quarter. so you never has been of a more about what else is incompatible with democratic valleys. it's all kind of open. the u. s. government sponsored summit for democracy has already begun. joe biden is presenting it as his glorious call to spread freedom and human rights around the world. in the lead up to it, a national anti corruption program was announced. our real estate markets are at risk of becoming a safe haven for criminals collette to crafts and others, seeking to pock corrupt profits by the planners say that money laundering via the sale of paintings is very hard to regulate. this is something the white house may

be very familiar with. joe biden's, son hunter biden has just discovered some artistic talent. his paintings have sold for half a $1000000.00, not bad for someone who just started painting. although not everyone is impressed. the 3rd painting you may recognize this name is a 100 biden. now you may think that such an exclusive of that, that 100 binders in such exclusive company that he would have a background, you know, artistic training for example. but you would be wrong if you thought that. and you might think that he had some sort of apprenticeship with a world renowned artist, but you would be wrong again if you thought that, or perhaps that he has been selling his works for years. and again, unfortunately you would be wrong, this is not just a hunter bind story, it is a bite and family story and it's corrupt. and they're basically thumbing their noses at everybody because nobody seems to want to hold them into account. hunter

biden is a jack of all trades. it would seem. he got paid $50000.00 a month by bruce ma holdings, a company in ukraine, even though he had never worked before in the gas and oil sector. and some people looked into this and thought maybe his father got him the gig, and that does not exactly re give squeaky clean politics. however, papa biden has always denied any foul play. we have great confidence in our son. i am not concerned about any accusations been made against him. it's used to get to me. under biden, also owns 10 percent of the chinese investment company, known as the h r. though he now announces he intends to sell his stake. when asked to clarify the relationship gen saki, the white house spokesperson didn't have much to say. the president, son is not an employee at the federal government. so i had pointed to his representatives. joe biden just recently gave quite a bit of good publicity to broader electric bust company. now it just so happens that jennifer granholm, who he appointed as secretary of energy, is

a major shareholder. given that status the up to $5000000.00 in value of investment, the secretary granholm continues to hold him prosser ink, his position to increase in lights for personal, unsubstantial involvement in an aggressive, wide ranging on tireless public relations campaign. to promote electric vehicles, batteries on charging infrastructure with jo biden's, democracy extravaganza kicking off. it's worth noting that recent polling data shows very few. thank you. as democracy sets a good example, we decided to ask americans how they view their national leaders. do you think the american political lead is corrupt? sometimes not always. it depends on who the candidate is in which party you support . yeah. well, they're all serving their own self interest. and then on the american interest, american people's interests at heart. do you believe the corruption allegations against hunter biden?

yes. if you read the news and you listened to see in an you'll see how biden jess did everything to cover up for a son. if they were more open about it and actually investigating it and found that there was nothing, then i'd okay, i'd be fine with that. but the fact that they're hiding everything makes me more suspicious. lots of big talk from the biden administration about fighting corruption around the world. but perhaps they should take a look a little closer to home. caleb bobbin r t new york thoughtfulness, george samuel ellie from a london based thing tank on international affairs says the sudden buzz around corruption is just it of a tool to control other countries. the southern preoccupation with corruption is a way for. busy the united states to control other countries in particular control . busy the financial transactions, and this is the piece with this democracy summit, the united states. a government is now under the control,

joseph biden. and he's that department of justice is treasury department all take the, the from the president, and then other to investigate from the by many more than that investigative. by all of this time, he's financial transaction and his son, extreme success as an office. i remember i'm dividing the announced what was the sometime in the fall. busy of 2020. i think that well, he's been told that he's under investigation by the federal government. well, time is the last and this investigation is obviously going nowhere. american journalists are being threatened with massive fines if they work for the perceived as the wrong publications. to contribute to a site, quote, the strategic culture foundation to receive stern warnings from the us treasury. this letter was sent to daniel as our of michael lebeau, who both new york based journalists. it says the s c f is on the list of banned

organizations accused of election meddling, and the u. s. citizens who engage in transactions with the foundation liable to find that at least $300000.00, that he was a shed, his personal experience with us. it was a warning regarding future articles. so essentially, if i write for the, for i find gate and any kind of transaction, which i assume means any, an exchange of money i could be had with massive fines that were completely destroy my finances. i was taken aback. i was, you know, concerned certainly, but actually i stopped writing for se yes, since the previous, you know, of 4 or 5 months earlier. so i didn't feel personally threatened. but others who, who want to continue writing for the f works dreamily frightened fair. they have all stopped writing from the site because really there's just, it's, you know, it's impossible to, to battle the us treasury in this kind of case. the us treasury is power is, is,

is enormous. and that of a, of an individual freelance journalist is microscopic. but some of them are so frightened, they're unwilling even to give interviews like this one. so you know, so this is what it's showing effect means they're, they're unwilling to write and they're unwilling even to talk about why they, why they're too afraid to write of a threat to make a part of a targeted sanctions. campaign announced by the treasury secretary in april. treasury will targets russian leaders, officials intelligence services, and their proxies that attempt to interfere in the us electro process or so bertie has democracy. this is the start of a new u. s. campaign against russian maligned behavior. the us government claims the strategic culture foundation is controlled by brushes, foreign intelligence agency, the f b r, and that is also linked to the russian foreign ministry. the foundation denies this and calls itself a research platform. on the ration global affairs, we've contacted the c f to get a further response to the claims. we're also waiting to hear back from the us

treasury to we'll let you know if we get an answer. daniela's says a dangerous precedent has already been set. i think of the that the at the s c f, the foundation hosts honest journalism even though out i don't, don't agree with much of it. this is, this is serious work by serious. ready journalists, and that is a supporter of a free speech and a free press. i believe that readers should have access to this. ready kind of stuff and, and yet the, the u. s. government is trying to close it down. and therefore trying to stop information, which is usually at variance with official us policy. from reaching from reaching audiences, including audiences in the us, to stop journalists from writing for these kinds of websites as a new step. and i think that, and i was surprised because because the united states, in fact has a very good track record on when it comes to a free press. i mean, in america,

we could say anything we want, you know, i can write that with the most outrageous things about george w bush or joe biden, and not have to worry for a moment about a, the search secret police crashing through my door. but now things may be changing slightly and it doesn't the order. well. the number of countries where the du cove at variance omicron is registered has more than doubled in just over a week. the world health organization says the strain has now been found in 57 countries. so far a new policies are being introduced ever since the rate hospitalisation could now rise a way off the w h. o special envoy and cobra for his perspective on the very end people do not understand enough about this paris. nobody knows for sure how nasty ami chrome is, but there's information coming through that it's, it's not too awful. ready and this is good, but it takes time to sort these things out and we're in

a kind of odds on stage at the moment where we're waiting for the results of the research. what i want to say is everybody keep doing the stuff that you know what to do, even if you're bored a bit. and sooner or later we'll find out how bad only cronies, some companies saying they're vaccines will work. other saying they going to need a booster for them to be effective. all this will come clear, it usually takes about 4 weeks. and i anticipate that what happened, but privately inside my so just go, she was me. i'm really hopeful that 1st of all, the acts vaccines will work reasonably well. and secondly, that this doesn't prove to be a much nasty virus than the earliest trains i've been involved in controlling disease outbreaks and pandemic since 2005. that's quite a few years. the one thing i've learned try never to force people to do

things through various incentives like fines or even nastier things. mandates are a last resort and the use of vaccines in children is because they just thought that vaccination will help to reduce circulation of the barrison children. but right now, the world health organization sticks with its recommendation that vaccines should be used for people who are at risk of severe illness and death. there are still an awful lot of susceptible people around even when you've got 70 percent vaccination coverage. and this high right of, of cases is being driven by the susceptible. secondly, there does seem to be a capacity for the virus to re infect people, especially if it is some months since they either had their previous infection or

had their immunization. the protection doesn't last for life, it wears off, so that's i think, the reason why we're staying the spikes, even though it's high vaccination. mounting out right in the u. k. over a supposed, downing street party last christmas during tightened pandemic restrictions and claimed its 1st scalp. the prime minister's former press secretaries resigned after a video, emerged, showing her joking about the event suggesting that it did happen. or johnson's ordered an inquiry, but also was grilled in parliament on wednesday. they knew there was a party. they knew it was against the rules. they knew they couldn't admit it, and they thought it was funny. prime minister has been caught right handed. why doth me envy investigation right now, but just admitting it? i've been repeatedly assured, oh, i understand. i probably think big news, the news, but there is a risk of doing a great

a grave injustice to people who frankly, obeying the rules with 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 for many say this could be the final nail in the coffin for forest johnson as he's now being accused of lying or even trying to cover up an alleged christmas party that happened nasty, ever met the kobe to restrictions now as you had that from the kiss tom, at the leader of the opposition, he says the tory party have been caught red handed as multiple sources. 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 court 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 i went home is fictional policy was a business means it was not associated. now if a party did happen, well certainly in kind of it roles 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 tighter restrictions were then announced. now things have really escalated throughout the day to day. in fact, the police are even considering launching an investigation into this matter. boris johnson says he will assist with any probe that might potentially happen. but of course, this isn't the 1st time the tory party have been embroiled in such rule breaking

soccer. if we look back to the heights of the pandemic dominant cummings, the prime minister's former chief 8. well, he travelled 270 miles from london to durham to visit bernard castle. then of course, mad hancock, the former, how secretary he was seen, intimately embracing a colleague, both of which have been rule breaking. and that's really the problem. that's why, as 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 they simply can't go on. and the prime minister's time is up downing street willfully broke the rules, and the more the sacrifices we have all made, the prime minister has our duty, the all my right and moral choice left to him and to support his resignation. countless children now growing up without parents while parties were held

at number 10. it is an insult for everyone. he wasn't allowed to say that final. good bye. my question is very simple. ah, how does the prime minister sleep at night while the reality, as many people were in absolutely heart wrenching position last year, people that couldn't go and visit their dying parents simply because they wanted to stick to the rules. in the meantime, the tories were allegedly out partying of former british home office minister norman baker says the scandal will spur further distrust and the government was a party. by definition, 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 the line to parent to the media, to find the golden by the prime minister. so the prime minister's habit

of bogging comfortable truths. he wants to be loved, he wants to be liked to prove a promises down the deliverers. and there is a smell of arrogance about this government so they can do what they want to hand down the load to other people. and if we are going to apply and be coming forward for this winter, and that's the new likely, even today, the people around the country are going to say, why should i bother pulling the rules with a private doesn't? so the consequences for public health potentially serious as well. you know, without c for mosque i said i had for you this, our president biden's migration policies are in the spotlight after a slump and deportation. and the reintroduction of a from era policy that led to a surge of the boulder in arizona. it's next story when we come back to the

ah ah ah ah ah, ah, with so i so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, 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, no, again, the governor of the u. s. state of arizona is calling out the biden administration over its migration policies. he says, border patrols are overwhelmed. national guards have been cold up because of what he calls biden's piecemeal policies. the biden administration's miss direction is encouraging migrant families to take a long and dangerous journey. as thousands arrive at the border, local law enforcement is overwhelmed with processing. this search creates a safety and humanitarian crisis for both arizonans and migrants. deportations have dropped by around 80 percent during the biden presidency. according to a migration control thinktank. the center for immigration studies has been analyzing data from the federal immigration and customs enforcement agency. also

noting that along with general numbers, the deportations of criminals fell when the director of policy studies of the group behind the report explain to us what's happening with us migration. we're at a time of historically high, illegal immigration, and historically low enforcement when ice agents are not allowed to make arrests, as they were in the past, under the new policies. that means that the serious criminals that are typically the priority for enforcement are allowed to stay in american communities instead of being sent back to their homes. and when criminals are allowed to stay here, typically they re offend and create new victims and continue to cause problems in this country. so this is an unnecessary public safety risk and is i damaging communities that have to absorb criminals who otherwise would be sent

home. the biden administration, however, has bent on the pressure and reinstated a trump payroll program, where migrants are returned to mexico to await their asylum decisions. the announcement of the relaunch sent masses of desperate people to the u. s. borders to try and get in before it started working again. and the scrambled we heard about in arizona, and jessica von says, more should be done to prevent legal crossings. this is a matter of policy, it's not a matter of resources. our immigration system is badly in need of reform. we need to have measures in place that result in more enforcement, more tools for immigration enforcement. more a programs that allow state and local law enforcement agencies to help ice do its job. and i think we need more money for enforcement directly at the border as well, more barriers to prevent people to keep a, to cross illegally turning dislike into dollars. a budding entrepreneur in the u. s

. state of massachusetts has opened a store selling some unique anti biden merchandise. and what many business owners have been anchored by the president's policies? this particular outlet owes its success to him. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm mm mm mm. yeah, i bought this hat. i thought this is really cool that i got some other things. yeah. the shirts in office making a really good quality order. still granted. last my be are dollar ah, with working

with. oh, i mean, i think it's fantastic. i absolutely love this great, absolutely job. i'm glad that you just tell them to send their right people. most surprises for them. the you should invest more in its military development to avoid the risk of lagging behind other major powers . that's the warning from the blocks foreign policy chief joseph rob, who says a significant gap already exists. we did appear in union and

a member to state. we need to do much more together and we need to to do much more together. right now we cannot wait because the charge for us is simple. either we invest a lot on defense innovation or we will become defense irrelevant. according to the european defense agency, the body responsible for military cooperation and development within the block, the you spend a record of 198000000000 euros on defense last year. even despite pandemic, hardship. however, only one percent of that was allocated to the research and development of new technologies. when the goal was to spend double that amount. what's more, the number's 7 times less than america spent. or among other proposals to strengthen the e u military. there's also a document known as a strategic compass which revives the idea of the creation of an independent

european army that can be rapidly deployed to tackle any crisis of paper. also on the lines, the necessity for a common approach to military issues and increase spending on it. now germany pe, the we spoke to says, the proposed suppose military threat is far from being the eas main challenge right now. from the beginning of the developing of the european treaties, there was always included the idea to have a own strong military arm that they are most of the european union. now of the military thinking very much developing and the european union know they are pushing for have, having higher spending on military issues and to have more who are in military capacities as well for a policy. the question is protected against tool. i don't think that the european union is at the moment under current stretch from,

from military military terms from anybody we. ready have problems the cove it and i don't see that anybody is now trying to attack the military, the union. and now you're up to date, follow up on telegram and look us up on youtube as well for more of our stories and award winning programs for now. though for me, call him bryan the team here in moscow. thanks for watching. ah. mm hm with this not the no, no, no, no, no, no, but they did a middle

no, no you on my here up my lap and i had a knuckle. but my love bob, you didn't thought now? well, i'm going up there to be a well, i mean happy lation strobe with it. i'm not in the mood dynamism, the ecosystem of planet earth predictably is dying because there's too much pollution, whether it's landfill pollution, pollution or in the rivers, pollution in the oceans, pollution in the air, chemical pollution permanent tamika, pollution, all the bio systems are dying. so humans effectively estimating mass suicide, and species is becoming interesting.

most of the time breaking record is a good thing, unless if regarding a crime which in this case into bell major cities across the united states. one city in particular has seen more than $500.00 homicides this year alone, breaking their record. we will tell you what city as well, what officials are doing to try and curtail. never 100 naked or so my native photos would for hidden in epstein's house. are being debated as well. they should be allowed as evidence in the current trial of his life. maxwell. john, how do you going to bring it to life? and it po francisco champion of christmas as he's speaking out again to those are trying to official cancel, cancel the holiday, a story you will not want to miss at some say, the war on christmas is underway. plus a $1000000000.00 are going to be flying by you on saturday. if only can find a way to harness the i full sized ass right. such a past year, we will give you all.
