ah, when he gets the headlines from our see joe biden promise is that the united states won't deploy offensive strike weapons in ukraine during an hour long conversation with the de mapleton. as the crisis over the country stretches towards another year . growing chasm of vaccine inequality a leading charity lays bare how poor a country struggle to knock you late against coven mobile few nations. let the father repast for normal profits and determined to stay in 2022 with a bang german fans from buying fireworks for a 2nd year because it's cobit flock to poland, to keep the party going. with good, happy with its friday. the 31st of december. my name is colleen bray. welcome to your world news from r t international. well,

with some of the holiday spirit in mind, the russian and us leaders have indicated the ties could be turning a corner of what's been an intense few weeks. joe biden and pretty my potent spoke for an hour on the phone with the american president, even promising not to deploy offensive strike weapons in ukraine. any but rank, it takes us through what they discussed. so 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 putin was that his counterpart made it clear that the west has no intention of deploying offensive strike weapons in the ukraine . now, this is something that is very important for moscow. this is something but 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. plot smith are 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 follows proposals made by moscow for european security and stability. and one of the major points that skills making one of the things that russia really once is at legal guarantees by the nato countries that the alliance wouldn't expand further east. that new weapons wouldn't be deployed at a russia's doorstep. and now also we do have to understand that in about 2 weeks, a crunch talks on european security will be held in geneva and we heard from both sides of the leaders won't take part. however, they will be supervising the talks of 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 . could have it in our who's in the bill at certain viewing the talk truly asked the u. s. to ensure a firm, legal guarantees of security for a shaft 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 where there is no a great position. but when all the western partners within the e. u and nato european security is not a new topic. since 1990 we have been proposing not to allow the security of some countries at the expense of the security of others said jell, what was so interesting about our proposals which are currently being discussed is the west pretending that this is the 1st time they have heard about it yet, 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 administration in washington and in moscow that these frequent contacts will continue in the new year as well. an investigative journalist rick sterling says it's understandable why russia wants native to halter to east an 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. that the russian demands, the red lines are completely understandable. jo biden's wrapping up his 1st year in

office, which has been a tough one here and there. not, everything's gone quite so smoothly when the cameras were rolling. ah, ah, with no, no, no way to me. i'm asking you a question. i said, is that accurate the best? you're not a with

that film down. thank you very much. i don't president harrison. i took a virtual tour vaccination center in arizona. los angeles and i won my daughter the long bit long reach. thank you. a are going to write yet another chapter in the beautiful story of the friendship between our 2 nations. i was long been claimed that wealthy countries have been holding back saints, but now a leading charities crunch the numbers. oxfam found that rich countries did, in fact, receive more kobe jumps in the weeks leading up to christmas, than the entire continent of africa did the whole year. but 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 buy in tech and mariner, and 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 oh, and middle income countries. all from to research also shows the big 3 vaccine makers could perhaps dip into their own the pocket to help pfizer by on take a madonna made pretext profits of 34000000000 dollars this year. that works out to more than $90000000.00 a day. and $65000.00 a minute, that's more than a $1000.00 a 2nd. we discussed how the yawning gap between profits and inequality emerged with investor and banker, mitchell, philistine and economist, 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 maxine 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 subsidized the entire operation is become a pandemic of fear. where the government has ratcheted interest rates down to the real interest rate is a negative interest rate. or banks are able to borrow from the federal reserve, unlimited quantities as 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 virus or using any other method. the centuries old rivalry between britain and france made a big come back in 2021 from refugees to fishing disputes, bickering between leaders and the controversial defense dale snow. our front correspondence shouted to penske, it looks at the country's 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 it. we still, since the beginning of this year, don't have the licenses i did or 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. so i think we may have to go further find other approaches that may not have been previously addressed. the agreement signed today provides for italia, 3 measured smoke. europe must apply those measures for boil official tails. so rotten, that france even threatened to turn off the u. k. 's 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. 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. her quarrels between france and britain are a little 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 that you as 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, it's 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. sure was that france hate 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. relations came to a standoff as british p. n. johnson, and his views on twitter. now that 3 french president, mac on into a hissy fit. jesse shockley the method. i'm surprised when things are not done

seriously. we don't communicate between leaders via tweets or publish letters. no, we're not whistleblowers. come on some but you know, all of this came on the back of a bumpy summer for france. a to just found out that it 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 side effect sort of to, to stuff to abs fuel to the fight between france and great britain that was just an added plus each of them a min mccolan boys, 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. michael 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 where no, 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 school goals. 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 challenge even sky coffee, paris case. and i had this new year's eve on nazi the sky high celebrations on the international space station. and we revisit a world 1st. the russian film crucial 1st have a movie in orbit,

and it's all next door. when we come back ah ah. with 2021 rapidly coming to an end to this time for some reflection. what will we

remember about this year? how did our lives change? also we look forward to the new year. what does 2020 to have in store for us? will we be living in interesting kinds? join me every thursday on the alex simon show. when i was speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. ah again now most of us so to get one shot at midnight to ring in the new year. it's a bit different though when you're orbiting the earth, 16 times a day, where do you start the crew on board? the international space station away still get to celebrate in stop is the russian cosmonaut new year message for all of us here on f. those. yeah. hi. dear franz from the international space station, we are cosmo nance, antonio capero and petard grove,

sharing with you this magical feeling of the upcoming new year. both here in space and back at home on earth. la mozilla lama norm were wishing you a new year. 2022 of good health strength prosperity in new achievements. devaney, stay close to one another and b mary. happy new year. go them. or this year, the i assess helped rusher, achiever movie, making 1st a film crew went into orbit to produce the 1st ever feature length movie to be shot in space. the team spent 12 days on board before returning safely to earth that we were there to welcome them back. ah, if you our class or we can fly, let me know if they have already on back there. national say that they already somewhere i padding back, i don't want to be a dad why door, the landing spot know me

. we know the approximate landing location in very so now we're gonna fly around. i feel we're going to see that as standing module 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 a makers that just went into space, but also safely returned to earth. with footage for their 1st ever feature movie that has been taken in actual space. the whole crew are treated like heroes. with

this 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 which the crew, her enormous physical stress. nonetheless, she benco's seemed in high spirits. and those were she, i said, those are good. were houston were willing o'dell, olga bollicheck though. wish that you could you, peter glueck who blossom again. she's working on whether the closure vadar occur. no excuse knows what she knew by the only in bullet doro, a moon garcia room with sheer 3 or more carefully. so that with him, need to click the blue showing you. but useful if you go to choose to initial

backward you bush, and you can use with ice cream regardless. of course most why don't i, sheena bull official like us, me just go sheriffs early. i was from the machine in my family that was actress, eli brazil. has just received a flower both you let me see and cosmo, not alex lisky, had to act even before the laugh the 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 left her 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. you can call us that she, she and i saw a glow, scott st. joseph patterson. sure. but can usually go with another renown rush, an actor of lady murmur, scott, 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 theme crept around. hightail, taurus, native cosmos. in order to get a zill arisia know young lo yeah. getting additional new visual, but couldn't reach out to me directly. smugly, at this deal with commercial memo crews with i'm we're sure of none of them. no religious about schooling, religion, me of she left 0. deductible. just wish your religion. no money. there's digit, i'm city education, me. michel, lift jim store. i got a notice really move barrel and we're starting the new stuff to the rest of the plan. you don't like them, which are let's get a closer look at the capsule. just look how actually burned it is right here. because when the capsule hurdles through earth's atmosphere at a temperature outside reaches 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 cars, math after just 4 months of training and it's more than space tourism. it's about professionals from different areas and not just career cosmic not being able to go into space and do their job, the acting or something else. as the head of russia space agency to be more open to more specific, but that it was not to be to the cutterson always done a lot of it so much for i am for the got the and but i'm some you all look up, but i forgot the input, but that it was good percentage you have left on them. forgot the there's 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 of an erotic reporting from stan or has also something else to the movie

crew had to undergo special training to get accustomed to 0 gravity conditions. we follow that unique adventure. ah. in his little cribs else is on us, usually middle creates a shoe store was hughley or what's, what's the tune of like no, i know that celeste chilton with

mutually put dial if need be leonor manure, good. no good. the stoplight it will cheat. museum company. we are usually is not just suki at vdm foreman, you by you linear unethical. not just all of these are just offered you for the more will this issue, you should know them. you got to some when you most could voice are pretty easily could force more soup with dont owns or see if you just because that's the one that gosh, there are to do it friday. jessica by at the moon. and you just so to which of being in the, in your household you can you by choice to live with

being annoyed. value with good. you can use the last my little id by. yeah. a hm . with well, 2022 is just over 90 minutes away from reaching the world's 1st time zone. and fireworks are going to be the new guest soundtrack all over the planet for the next day or so

at least. but for the people of germany, it's now a challenge because the government's band private sales for the 2nd year in a row. it put people off to put people off large gatherings because of cove it but it also led many germans to help across the border to neighboring poland. to get that new year supplies shedding some light on the story. is 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 to fund their private sales, 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 firewood displays 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. fireworks are part of me it's. it's a tradition to set them all and it would be a shame if it didn't happen. while german paths may be rejoicing at the prospect of less frightening fireworks shops, selling them in poland and making hay. while this particular some showings at the moment because of the band in germany, we have about 300 customers a day. when 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 is 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, fireworks or not. if you need a pep talk, your new year's resolutions meet a man who knows all about focus and resilience is the wall record holder for swimming on the ice. wearing only trunks. i'm running a barefoot marathon in the snow. the iceman took the scifi shepherd, not a next only on our team from moscow. with this isn't an orphanage even so children have been cared for at the fountains house

. oh me, have barbara, give a shout back or take my much mom with when i should. he said you, can you please resend nice to many goals? michelle, in the middle nation. i showed them nanny's violin. mom on is violet. but dana, mom, yes, my son is with me. okay. allow me to book a book. i love you for obama, you will. i will like.
