[000:00:00;00] the headline he was, he is the moscow joe biden promises that the us won't deploy offensive strike weapons and ukraine during an hour, long conversation polluted. meantime, from tensions of nato to the energy crisis and cobra. we talk to the hungarian foreign minister above some of the defining moment. 2021. and determined to see in 2022 with the bags germans plan from by firewood for a 2nd year because a coven flocked to poland to keep the part the news. hello there. welcome to our team will be today from oscar with me. kevin,

1st thing with some of the holiday spirits in mind. we can report the russian and us leaders have indicated that the relations could be turning a corner. this new year's eve off for a difficult few weeks, joe biden, and let him approach and spoke for an hour by phone, the american president even promising not to deploy a fence to strike weapons in ukraine. it we're trying to takes us through what the discuss in more detail. 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 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 threads 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 goes making one of the things that russia really once 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 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, i said to you in the talk to will ask us to insure 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 west and 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 that these frequent contacts will continue in the new year. as well. investigative journalist rick sterling says it's understandable why russia wants me to stop it in spanish and eastwards. 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, 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. well, from nato's tens relationship with russia to finding solutions to the coven pandemic, we've been speaking with a hungarian foreign minister to get the perspective of some of the main events that shaped the past year. for our central europeans. it's extremely important that east and west that the united states and the russian federation have a direct and continuous dialogue. we are very happy with the fact that the 2 presidents spoke again for nato and there i shall talk to each other. then there's a much bigger and better hope for any kind of common understanding and agreement about this part of the world. look, we really do consider the the security situation of central europe as

a crucial issue for us and anything that helps to resolve challenges here. and ease tensions around the region service our interest. so that's why we are really interested in successful negotiations between nato and the russia, the beginning of next year. it is very easy for politicians to finger point on one specific country on one specific person on one specific decision in order to push responsibility away. the russian federation on the gas from have always been very reliable partners from hungary when it comes to the supply of, of natural gas. all the contracts have been respected and the schedule was respected. the volumes arrived always on time, and as far as i understand,

no one in europe complains about about why elating contracts buy gas from. so what we can say is that gas from the russian federation, respect the contracts which were assigned between european countries, european companies, and russia and gas from maybe this is not the most sophisticated sentence you ever hear from a politician on energy or gas supply. but our understanding is that the, the more pipelines the better it has been an our agenda as well to, to see how we can further increase the number of those who get the vaccination. because we do consider that as the only solution for the crisis we in hungary have a very clear experience. more than 6000000 hungarians have been vaccinated. we have

been using 6 different types of vaccines, including including sino farm and, and for western types of vaccines. pfizer rosters and come with them and youngs and so we have a very colorful experience. i do believe that the fact that the new car has not been the recon lies by the international organizations is a purely political issue. you know, when i, when i talked to western european colleagues of mine, they always tell me that, well, they all know that the, the russian scientific community is out standing. they all know that the russian medical solutions are successful. they all know that the russian vaccines are safe and effective, and none of the vaccines are versed than any other. the centuries old rivalry between britain and france made

a big come back in 2021. there were dispute sober refugees and also fishing rights, and also bickering over a controversial defense steel from correspondence. charlotte davinsky looked back at the turbulent last 12 months. france 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 sprawls 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. we're not fighting with the english. we are 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 boys have fishy tails. so rotten, that france even threatened to turn off you case 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 both. 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 and go, 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. she was but 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 stand off as british p. n. johnson and his views on twitter. now that 3 french president, my con, into a hissy fit, jesse shortly to me today. i'm surprised when things are not done seriously. we don't communicate between leaders via tweets or publish letter, so we're not whistleblowers. come on some but you know, all of this came on the back of a bumpy summer for france. 80 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 o yes. the u. k. hotly a 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, 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 and, and 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 personal. 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 the, you invested in only ongoing schools, 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 oxy paris. a diplomatic rouse brewing between moscow in the celtic laid republic of kosovo after a russian diplomat working in the un mission in kosovo was declared persona non grata, move was announced by the cost of a foreign minister on a facebook page that he, armstrong, reports know better for diplomatic fireworks between russia and cost for it comes as cost 0 has declared to member a russian member of the un mission in cost of persona non grata. and that's an order that's come from a book straight from prime minister. our being curtsey relate through his deputy donica, drove alice. she thought she said in a facebook post that it was due to harmful activity of the diplomat that goes against them,

violates the costs of and safety that can just get what she said in that facebook post just here. now, the republic of cost of will continue to cooperate even more closely with international allies to prevent every d, stabilizing effort of the russian federation in our region. the declaration of persona non grata means the diplomatic immunity will be lost by the diplomat. it means that he could be prosecuted, there's no, there's no indication that he will be prosecuted. it could mean that it could be expelled from the territory gravel, a shot to say that it was part of a big fight to stop russian influence and interference in the territory. the self declared republic of castillo said that russia uses that territory as a site for aggression against the u. s. against the west, all sorts of allegations of aggression. now, the russian embassy in belgrade has been quick to react to this. they've called the move in the latest and a long line and long series of anti russian provocations again,

favor with the west. of course, costco. and as corvalle, she said in her facebook post constables path towards becoming a member of the you. the un nato is irreversible and they will do everything in their path to make that a reality. now, of course, cost of always ins recognized by $9.00 of the g 20 countries of them. russia only 11, do recognize the republic as independent. and the relationship between costco and russia have been worsening for some time. and with actions like this from kosovo as the russian embassy head, the latest in ancy russian aggression is surely not going to make those relations any better. shelley armstrong reporting that i still had this is the, the sky. 1 high celebration is taking place on the international space station and log back to the russian pro who film the 1st of a movie and all bit. i'm kevin, now let me tell you all about that here. now it's international art,

this quick bright blue. ah ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation, whole community? are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the

shallows. join me every 1st day on the alex salmon. sure. but i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then ah, hello again. so 2022 is making its way around the globe and as time zones across very from country to country. so donations entering the new year at different moments, australia that was one of the 1st to see in 2022 was as ever studying fireworks that at the city help bridge. the ticket was the event rather ticketed var free ballot, and there were 4 celebrations of this year to make it cope with safe as possible. fireworks also let the skies above the north korean capital to adhere to russia. the far east of this vast countries, both in the new year, while in moscow we still got another 3 and

a half hours to wait over in germany. this bit of a challenge for people waiting to see in the new year. though the government, there's been the sale of fireworks for the 2nd year in a row to stop large gatherings and prevent the spread cove it but it see many germans, sir trompe clever and hop over the border to poland by the festive supplies with more is a europe correspondence the run the birth date, the location for the traditional job and 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 in 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 paths may be rejoicing at the prospect of less frightening fireworks shops, selling them in poland and making hay. while this particular still 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 is put paid to firework sales. here in germany, and i should imagine it's left firework retailers. fizzing. one of the plus side to less fireworks is less clean up needed. in the aftermath, the german capital is usually small, that 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 patrol for all t berlin cause most of the sketches one shot at midnight's rigging the year. but it's different story when you're orbiting the 16 times a day. the crew aboard the international space station i was celebrating style is the russian cosmonaut new year message for all of us back on terra firma. lose. yeah. hi, dear friend from the international space station where cosmo on santano capero and petra roff, sharing review this magical feeling of the upcoming new year. both here in space

a large tried 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 beat acting, or something else. sassy had of rushes space agency to be the mom would help putting up with your boss beside the scope of them, but that it was not to be to that the gutters almost done us. but others snellville which up but i am but a good plan. but i'm some you all a cup, but i am putting up in but, but that he was good percentage when i left on them, but got the him of plan. 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 an erotic of reporting from as are stand or above. and the made
