ah, the news headlines from r t joe biden promises that the united states work deploy offensive strike weapons in ukraine during an hour long conversation with him. as the crisis of the country stretches towards the new year. one of the biggest issues or the past 12 months, vaccine inequality a leading charity late that how poor countries struggle to inoculate against kobe. while wealthy a nation lead, big pharma read astronomical prophet, undetermined to see in the new year with a bang germans fanned from buying fireworks for 2nd year, because a covey flocked to poland to keep the party going. with nanette this new year's eve in moscow. i'm calling brian, this is your world news for marty international 1st for you with some of the

holiday spirit of mine, then the russian and us leaders have indicated that tries could be turning a corner after what's been an intense a few weeks. joe biden, ability me put in, spoke for an hour by phone, with the american president, even promising not to deploy offensive strike weapons in the ukraine. even frank takes us through what they discussed. now we do know the details of the latest phone conversation between the presidents of the us and russia. they have come in from both administrations and they're not strikingly different. but it could be felt that moscow and washington were emphasizing different things. what we heard from the adviser to president potent was that his counterpart made it clear that the west has no intention of deploying offensive strike weapons in ukraine. now, this is something that is very important for moscow. this is something that the kremlin has many times called a red line for russia. besides,

this says the kremlin of watermark potent told mr biden, that russia will defend its own interest just like the u. s. would if it was facing similar threats on its doorstep when mr. brewton heard about the threat of new sanctions against russia, he warned joe biden, that this could actually lead to ties being cut completely between the 2 countries . so next to the version from washington, joe biden, cold to deescalate the ukraine situation altogether. but also warned that the u. s . and allies will continue to monitor all actions by russia and also maintained that they are ready for all steps that vladimir putin could make when it comes to ukraine plots. mr. biting talked about reinforced nato strength

and said that ukraine will get extra military assistance from the lines. should the situation escalate? now it's really worth mentioning that this phone call falls proposals made by moscow for european security and stability. and one of the major points that ma goes making. one of the things that russia really wants is at legal guarantees by the nato countries that the aligns wouldn't expand further east. that new weapons wouldn't be deployed at russia's doorstep at now. also, we do have to understand that in about 2 weeks, crunch talks on the european security will be held in geneva and we heard from both sides. the 2 leaders won't take part. however, they will be supervising the talks personally. now a little earlier we heard from the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman about what

rushes looking forward to when it comes to these particular rounds of negotiations . particularly, i want to do, are you in the talk truly asked us to ensure a firm, legal guarantees of security for russia, that nato will not be able to move on the east. and that weapon systems that threaten russia will not be deployed near our border. there is no agreed position, but when all the western partners within the e. u. a nato european security is not a new topic since 990. we have been proposing not to allow the security of some countries at the expense of the security of others. what was so interesting about the proposals which are currently being discussed is the, was pretending that this is the 1st time they have heard about it. we already have written fundamental principles in our joint document. and they were supposed to have been already implemented. so it is a fact that the heads of states are in touch more and more often,

and we heard confirmation from both the ministration in washington and in moscow, the div frequent contacts will continue in the new year. as well. investigative journalist rick sterling says it's understandable why russia once night had to hold its eastern expansion. i think it's reasonable to say that moscow has very legitimate, legitimate concerns. it looks like the u. s. in the military. industrial complex is looking to to increase the conflict in ukraine. nato is already expanded into many countries. there are numerous countries on the, on a, on the border that, that were part of the soviet union. and there are no part of nato. so, given the proximity of ukraine to, to russia, given the proximity to moscow, only 460 miles of the russian demands. the red lines are

completely understandable. i've also spoken at length to an adviser on soviet affairs to former us president ronald reagan in the final years of the cold war. susan massey says that the only way forward for russia in the us would be a constructive relationship. here's some of the full interview was shown today here on our tea. it is more important in my view, important than ever that switch that you are, the united states and russia develop a constructive relationship. because i think if we can do that, and i'm hoping we can, it would be better for the whole world. my goal is always to try to explain russia better than many americans know it, that i don't mean better could, but simply more completely than they do. and that's what i did. and that's why i wrote the books i've written because americans, alas, there are many americans who don't know much about you, aren't countries?

i definitely in beneath ortho, humanizing it each other in each other's eyes and well, it's not legal, you're very human. you tremendously healing and i think it's a wonderful thing that you can help americans wit, for many reasons. i believe that we need each other more than ever. now that just my feeling, it's important that you and we are able to exchange our different talent and it's long been claimed that wealthier countries have been hoarding vaccines, but now a leading charities crunch the numbers. ok from sounds. the rich countries did in fact receive more cobit jobs in the weeks leading up to christmas than the entire continent of africa did during the whole year. it's now pushing for poor countries to be allowed to produce their own patent free vaccines. companies behind tills, in most successful coven 19 vaccines. pfizer by in tech and mariner,

are making combined profits of $65000.00 every minute. despite receiving public funding of over $8000000000.00, the 3 corporations have refused calls to urgently transfer vaccine technology and know how with capital producers and low and middle income countries. all firms, coal comes amid estimates that vaccine makers, pfizer biotech, madonna, have made pre tax profits if it's 34000000000 dollars this year. that works out to more than $90000000.00 a day. 65000 dollars of minutes or more than a 1000 dollars of 2nd. but we discussed how the yawning gap between profits and inequality emerged with investor and banker, mitchell, fasting, and economists richard wolf. the industries have benefited the most, include pharmaceuticals because of the government support for a vaccination and also allied medical care industries. every bit of the profits earned by the vaccination that we are seeing has been

supported and fundamentally subsidized by the taxpayer, by the government. and that means if there were any justice that the government would debt some of the profits. again, the major vaccine companies, pfizer, of number one, have seen record profits. they could easily share those profits with the government and therefore the people, because the people subsidize the entire operation. it's become a pandemic or fear where the government has ratcheted interest rates down to the real interest rate is a negative interest rate, where banks are able to borrow from the federal reserve, unlimited quantities of money, which is driven to the biggest asset bubbles in the history of the planet, which has created the greatest wealth and equality gaff we've ever seen and only continues to get larger. big pharma has made oversized and outsized profits. they

made a lot of promises. they haven't delivered on a lot of promises. it's a problem of leadership. this entire blame it on coded blame it on russia. blame game is 40 years of failed neo liberal policy trying to shift the blame for incompetent policies. incompetent politicians who now want to seize control by using a, a virus or using any other method. if a centuries old rivalry between britain and france made a big come back in 2021 from the migrant crisis to fishing dispute pickering between leaders and the controversial defense dale of france correspond the child to bench game looks at the countries trouble ties. pross and the u. k. have been like 2 squabbling neighbors for a millennia. at times those disputes have descended into full blown wars. but for over a century, there has been this relative, calm, not is until now. in the past, the u. k. is had plenty of success against france on the high seas,

but now the french are looking to recapture access to waters between the 2 countries. for fishing rights only going to print, didn't we still, since the beginning of this year, don't have the licenses did. we're not fighting with the english and we're engaging in dialogue to try to make our position understood so that we can get access to these waters. i think we may have to go further find other approaches that may not have been previously addressed. the agreement signed today provides for retaliatory measures. europe must apply those measures for boil official tales, so rotten that france even threatened to turn off the u. k. is electricity supplies, but was this about more than simply making waves over fishing licenses? i suspect also about that. there are many reasons why right now are having a spot between the british and the french is very convenient for both for a minute, for the prime minister of great britain and for the french president. of course,

it is about more than fishing licenses, but 98 percent of fishing licenses that were applied for were already granted. the french thing is about 40 votes. it's is just something to sort of keep it alive for other quarrels between france and britain are all serious, but that one is, is completing the manufactured. even though the u. k. has now granted more licenses . french fishermen are still unhappy and continue to threaten british imports. now that brings us to another bone of contention migrants the u. s. wholly still struggling to find a way to deal with mass, illegal migration. but the brakes think francis found a solution. turning a blind eye to those who try and cross the english channel, france is failing to police its coastline. we could fund double the number of french police, but they are not serious about intercepting migrant groups in broad daylight. it

would further anger taxpayers here by throwing more good money after bad. i believe this reluctance to intervene. this refusal to get involved is a political decision. president emanuel micron is seeking re election next year and thinks dumping on the british will win in bots. ando was really stoked, following the deaths of almost 30 people in the english channel in november. now they had been trying to reach the u. k. shores, but france hit back telling the u. k to stop it's latches. britain is in no position to be giving lessons to us. britain should stop using us is a punch bag in the domestic politics. correlations came to a standoff as british p. n. johnson, and his views on twitter. now that 3 french president micron into a hissy fit, just use euclidean method. i'm surprised when things are not done seriously. we don't communicate between leaders via tweets or publish letters. we're not whistleblowers. come on some but you know, so all of this came on the back of

a bumpy summer for france. a to just found out that it's deal of the century with australia to build a fleet of sub marines had been torpedoed in favor of a new one with the u. s. canada. and oh yes, the u. k. hotley recipe for success. but what the issues between the u. k. in france really boil down to might have more to do with the opinion the to leaders half of each other. i think it was really a political thing on the of the, the side effect sort of to just of, to abs fuel to the fight between france and great britain that was just an added plus, each of them amendment mccolan, boris johnson sees and the other. what they hate most bars, johnson is shambolic disorganized. he goes on the fly, he has a sense of humor amendment. my call is a control freak. he, he's

a bureaucratic technocrat. he is, has attention to detail on both of them. they work in different ways and they despise the where the other functions they don't like one another. i mean it's, it's is rarely politics, rally cost and all. but in this instance, each of them has got a sort of vision of how they want international relations to go and it's not the others. and then it becomes personal francais, even try to get b, e u invested in only ongoing squabbles. taking a very one for all and all, for one approach, the e u, though has remained relatively aloof. but that is a whole other capital of fish, charlie's even sky oxy paris. negative on our pay, coming up the sky high celebrations on the international space station. plus we revisit a world 1st. the russian film crew produced the 1st ever movie to be filmed in orbit. it's our next story when we come back

ah ah.

join me every thursday on the alex salmon? sure. but i'll be speaking to guess from the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. ah ah, how good abbey with us now most of us get one shot at midnight to ring in the new yet. it's a bit different when you're orbiting the earth, 16 times a day. where do you stop? but the chrome bobby international space station always celebrate installed and hit the russian cosmonaut new year message for all of us here on f. louisiana. hi, dear franz from the international space station were cosmo non santano cup, lira and petard grove, sharing with you this magical feeling of the upcoming new year. both here in space and back in home on earth. la mozilla lama norm were wishing you

a new year. 2022 of good health strength prosperity and new achievements didn't stay close to one another and be merry, happy new year. go them over to russia. accomplish yet another 1st in space, sending a film crew into orbit to produce the 1st have a feature length movie to be shot in space. the team spent 12 days about the i s s before returning safety to earth, and we were that to welcome the back. ah, if you, our slab before we get by let me know if they have already on back there. national say that they already somewhere i padding back a dad y dorothy landing spot, know me. we know the approximate landing location in berry. so now we're gonna lie around. i feel we can actually see that

as sounding model and wait until it touches down with well, as you can see, the capital is on the ground. the crew is still inside, but we've been told that they're feeling. all right. somebody is speaking with the crew, right? now, so history has been made a russian professional to the makers that just went into space, but also safely returned to earth. with footage for their 1st ever feature movie that has sort of shaken in actual space. the whole crew are treated like heroes. with

this is film director, clincher, benco, safe and sound just came from the space. the international space station is 400 kilometers above the earth surface and a returning spacecraft usually covers the distance in 3 hours. for the most part, it's freefall and the speed can reach 120 meters per 2nd. extreme acceleration baird, with gravity taking in puts the crew, her enormous physical stress. nonetheless, she benco's seemed in high spirits. and those were she. i said, those are good. we're so we're going old olga bullock though. wish that you could you, peter glueck who blossom again. she's working on whether the closure, my daughter, her mom excuse knows what she knew by the only in bullet doro munoz say. good monsieur, for your more grief all is well with him, you don't like the blue showing you but useful if you go to choose to initial duck, we're a new bush and you can use with ice cream. got it. of course most. why don't i shing

your bullet, shaneka me just go sheriff's earlier cuz i seen him as imminent for cheaper one that was actress. you like brazil has just received a flower. both you let a seal and cosmo, not alex levy, ski had to act even before the laughter capsule. the landing location turned into a film, sat for one of the closing scenes of the movie about a doctor who sent into orbit to perform surgery. after that very seal, who plays the lead role? laughter autograph on the capsule that not only brought her back home to day, but also sent her acting career sky work from now on. she is the 1st actress bound in space in a couple months that she, she and i saw a glow. scott say, just patterson. sure. but can you still go with another renowned rush, an actor of lady murmur scoff, who played a command or greeting the crew on the ground, sat the movie is a big leap forward for the world's film industry for yet. and i saw my back in my

little macros, the e voice. you cut out on hightail, taurus, native cosmos, in order to get a zill or i see her know young low, you're getting additional new visual but couldn't reach out to me. dear, were smugly at this deal, which of the social for me will cruise with a mature of no. hm. no religious about a schooling, religion. me of she let barely deductible. just wish you religion. no much as digit . i'm city educator, this me on the chef lithium store. i better get a noti zoom, is that? oh, you're starting out. snell mistrusted what's brought center of the plan. you don't like in the material or let's get a closer look at the capsule. just look how actually burnt it is right here. because when the capsule hurdles through earth's atmosphere at a temperature outside riches, up to 2000 degrees celsius and it feels like you are inside a fireball, the mission is also a large stride forward for the russian space. program which made space travel

possible for 2 non cosmetic after just 4 months of training. and it's more than space tourism. it's about professionals from different areas and not just career, cause menard's been able to go into space and do their job, meet acting, or something else, is as the head of rushes space agency to pay the bill more to put up with your boss beside the scope of them, but that it was not to be to the cutterson lowest denise, but others sonoma rich up but i am able to go to him. but i'm so you all a cup, but i am for to go to him but, but that he was quit son engineer and he lost on them. we'll get to him a player. ah, there is a lot of food for thought in the month to come about that, but for now everyone here including us, is just extremely excited to witness something that will definitely go down in history. as in a rush, got reporting from stan rehearsals with something else to actress jojo piracy anchor. i'm filmmaker kim, that your panko,

he saw that had to undergo special training to get accustomed to 0 gravity conditions. and here on ality, we followed that unique adventure ah, in his little crew else is on usual when middle creates a shoe store with hughley, you watch the tomb. no, i know celeste chilton with

leonor manure good nor gustavo sheet museum company we are usually is not just so keith is even room omnia by, you linear, unethical small. just all of these are just offered you for the more will issue you should know them. you go to some when you most could voice are pretty easily could force more soup with dont owns or see if you just because the cars there are to do it friday. jessica via to move. so to which of being the neurons with

pena annoyed value with numbers with you can use the last my little i'm you buy yes. to partner with . okay, well 2022 is about 3 and a half hours away. the world's 1st time zone and fireworks will be the new year soundtrack around the world for the next day or so at least. but the people of germany, it's now

a challenge because the government is banned private sales for the 2nd year in a row. it's to put people off large gatherings because of cobra, but it's led many germans to help across the border to neighboring poland to get their new year's supplies, shedding some light on the story next to his peter oliver. the run the gates and the location for the traditional german new year's celebration. it's also home to an annual fireworks extravaganza. the it's about the only place you'll see them lighting up the night. sky is the country rings in 2022. as the german government has found their private sale, as part of the last round of coven measures brought in at the start of december. it's hard to knock the reasoning behind the decision less ad hoc fireworks display between midnight and the early hours. less calls to the emergency services, also less people mixing and gathering books above on the sale of fireworks. doesn't

mean no fireworks. people have been popping over the poland to stucco for fireworks are part of new year's eve. it's a tradition to set them all, and it would be a shame if it didn't happen. while german packs may be rejoicing at the prospect of less frightening fireworks shops, selling them in poland and making hay. while this particular sun shines at the moment because of the band in germany, we have about 300 customers a day. and we are pretty overloaded. they buy a lot, it varies, but on average, it's about 200 years per person. the band on selling small fireworks is purely a symbolic policy. the available figures show that a band will not noticeably relieve emergency admissions, nor will infection rates be effectively reduced. it's the 2nd year in a row that covert has put paid to firework sales. here in germany, and i should imagine it's left firework retailers. fixing one of the plus side to

less fireworks is less clean up needed. in the aftermath, the german capital is usually smothered in a blanket of discarded munitions following the festivities. this year, revellers that don't get their hands on. some polish pyrotechnics we'll have to make do with the professional, displace peter all over all t. berlin and who all celebrating? stay safe. that's how it looks from moscow. this new year's eve, thanks for watching. i'm calling bright back, we the next update it just over half an hour. so you that ah, with 2 crystals to chill with tristan school is the child begins with which one is a better way to assess my william? let's use a curriculum. well that the keenest type with

or municipal put him in junior was, wasn't it that the appointment was for that issue machine that i did with? no, i need to put that amount with the me if per hour or so on with with, with, with, with.
