a with professional and direct to the russian delegation lays down their red lines in geneva, in crucial security. talk with us, pending further progress on 3 team points, no nato eastward expansion, or ukraine. membership or missiles pointed to russian territory. vladimir putin says russia and its allies would not allow a revolution backed by terrorists, as he addressed a summit of the military alliance assisting member state conflicts done. even today, we will not allow the situation in our homeland to be disturbed. we will not allow a so called cooler revolution to be carried out. hosso protesters take to the street in melbourne in support of tennis

world. number one, know back to college earlier he won his court battle that challenge that the cancellation of his visa to enter australia. although the countries immigration minister in 50 is still has the power to cancel it, we talked to the players father in serbia with we never thought our son, the best awfully tennis player in the world would have had to go through this. but as you can see, politics couldn't take a win over him. this time. a broadcasting lab, direct my studios in moscow. this is our international on john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now, high stakes talks between russia and the us have been held in geneva. monday's discussions opened a week of crucial negotiations on security issues. as the west accuses rush of plans to invade ukraine. moscow has also laid down red lines on nato's eastward expansion and ukraine's never joining the military alliance along with missiles

aimed at russia. if now, nato proceeds towards deployment of capabilities that are being developed very rapidly in the us somewhere in europe. it would require immediate to response on the russian part through means that the, our discretion with will, that will inevitably unavoidably damage. security of the u. s. and these european allies lots to say from the russian delegation in regards to what was discussed today in the inflexibility from the americans on certain issues. is that red line for russia, which is ukraine? joining the nato alliance, not just ukraine, but ga, to, for russia. also asking for roll back of military and weapon deployment in countries that have ascended the nato alliance since 1997. now,

when you going into these talks at the united states, it said that it couldn't really discuss the security of europe without its allies. one of the crucial issues is there are tensions between not just russia and the us, but also you repeat ins as well. so we heard quite a lot in the briefing from the russian deputy minister who is leading that delegation, trying to make a breakthrough. it doesn't appear as if a breakthrough was made. hell, though many people who said, actually getting them around the table is a breakthrough in itself. i just want to talk more about that red line. now i ukraine is hoping to become a member of the nato alliance. that is something that russia said absolutely can never ever happen. and we know that the u. s. has gone into these discussions saying that that was a question. that was pretty much off the table. this is what the russian deputy

minister had to say for us. it's absolutely mandatory. i to make sure that you agree never, never, ever becomes a member of nato. we are fed up with loose dog ha, from mrs. misinterpretations what happened that different forms of negotiations behind closed doors. we do not trust the other side. so to see we need iron clad waterproof bulletproof legally binding guarantees not assurances, not safeguards guarantees. can you get more confirmation than that? iron clad waterproof bullet proof? this is what russia says it's looking for in terms of those guarantees of that expansion of the nato alliance in to ukraine and georgia. no form of the us port.

we have heard time and time again from washington that they are in a fixed position in this and that they say nobody will be able to dictate who joins nato and who doesn't. this is what of the us under secretary of state, had to say in regards to that, we will not allow anyone to slam closed nato's open door policy, which has always been central to the nato alliance. we will not forego by lateral cooperation with sovereign states that wish to work with the united states. and we will not make decisions about ukraine without ukraine, about europe, without europe, or about nato without nato. the other issue is, of course, on sanctions heading into these talks, the united states, once again threatened possible new sanctions against russia, saying that these would be targeted financial institutions, really trying to hit russia where it hurts. it says those would be put in place if russia invades ukraine and accusation that the u. s. has been bonding about 4

months now, talking about massive increases of russian troops near the ukrainian buddha. now russia has denied this over and over saying it's not going to invade ukraine. and that was once again what we heard from the deputy minister at the see seeing here in geneva that absolutely not russia is not intending to invade crane and that the sanctions i just not helpful. there's something that in nobody wins. if we continue putting those sanctions, it's also a kind of trying to track something and to get more out of the negotiations, that is quite clear. so both sides try to to be strong. and that is also normal renew stuart into negotiations. you try to, to bring your best position. and i, i do not really think that this is bringing much to the discussion because

it's more a disease, more politics. both sides actually do feel not very secure. now it takes time to, to find solution to such difficult problems. and i think that is the time they need and they, they should take the time that it needs to, to were to bring back stability to europe. the important thing is that they really talk and try to find heart, the solutions that we need. tennis world number one, novack to coverage faces, uncertainty and australia with just a week left till the start of the country's top tennis tournament. despite winning a court battle that challenged the cancellation of his visa for not being vaccinated against kogut, the countries immigration minister says he can still revoke it. the players father told us his son had every right to play in the australian open. obama shortly say

least on everything they asked him to do, and he received the cost decision that allows him to stay to play tennis. i can't describe it. we never thought our son, the best athlete and tennis player in the world would have had to go through this, especially in such a far away land way. he has already proved himself the best 9 times. it's incredulous in itself that this has happened to him. but it happened and it was in no way related to sport. it's all politics. but as you can see, politics couldn't take a win over him. this time, he proved his right. he wouldn't have travelled there if he hadn't had permission from the government. and the tennis association of australia because all these permissions went through the tennis association, they provided federal and local authorities and victoria with requests. we never had to deal with politics. our politics is tennis, of course we expect no back to when the 21st grand slam and the 10th australian open. other members of novack overtures family also met the media for a press conference in serbia, listening to it for us was for us. malik gorski a serbian canadian journalist. no my job, which is family,

said that there is no reason to be optimistic after several days of what they described as going through hell. no joke, which is mom has said that this victory than the court case in melbourne is greater victory than any grand slam that no joke which has one in the past years while his father has said that this isn't just a victory for novak a joke of issue, he says, doesn't belong just to the serbian people, the to all of humanity. this is a victory for free speech and freedom of choice. so essentially, the family has said that, you know, a joke of age has followed all the rules that were set out by australia, his brother, noble job, which his brother, georgia, jo publish, has emphasized the fact that they respect the courts. they respect the rules, australia, no joke, reach when they're not, has any kind of political message. but just to play some tennis admire. shelly on

the way he led to with the whole process because i think he was very detailed. he was very thorough and he was very short term our thinking from the family for leading to processing such way for, you know, showing the world the whole truth and his father, surgeon, jokingly, she said the justice has prevailed. they believed that despite a certain price being opposed by the australian government and political threats that the ministers administers in australia have issued towards the fact that no joke which may still have some issues towards as we approached the australian open, they said that at this point they are happy that the court has made a non to local decision in relation to the facts that were presented. and they are very confident that nobody jo, which will, when in fact, the australian open

a protest flared in melbourne and supported the serbian tennis superstar with police using pepper spray to contain some of the demonstrators, ah, australian foreign minister alex wark, who says he still retains the right to cancel jock of it's his visa regardless of any ruling the ruling of course today in melbourne was that a church said the australian government had on fairly revoked his visa when he arrived in the country on wednesday and then detains. and we have reaction, some people over a melbourne who said they're glad at the decision. usually legal system is

functioning. it is evidence based, not influenced by any politicians. a no bakovich himself said he's been sleep deprived when he's been questioned of australia. of course, one of the most strict countries in the world as regards co with regulations. novak jackie said he is not making. there wasn't any kind of posturing from him. despite this diplomatic fall out and people getting involved, he said he's upset and confused by the decision. my agent and i had done all that was asked of us in making the application for entry into australia. i did not understand what was happening and i did not understand why he was considering canceling my visa. i was upset and confused, alexander roo church. the serbian prime minister has said this is a which ones a huge national icon. of course, jock of it's not only and serbia is here, hero, across the whole senate landscape, one of the most famous, most recognizable athletes in the world. on the other hand,

australian prime minister scott morrison says, well, rules are rules. if you don't meet those requirements, you're not welcome in the country. despite that you're saying that john, which is actually free to leave the detention center and free to remain in australia. now, australian officials have not taken this lane down as far as they're concerned. this is just the man trying to enter the country, trying to fill out those strict covert regulations. morrison just lost his case against jokers which total incompetence like on everything else. if they seriously didn't want him while nor did they give him a visa to fi here. novak jock of it is being detained in the same place that refugees, the health. some have been detained for 9 years. they came to australia to free war and torture. he came to when a tennis match. those reactions are so much training and government officials of course, kind of belittling the struggle for know about jock, which is family mother said this is being the hardest thing about to go through the

past 5 or 6 days when he's been locked up in a telephone confiscated as regards novak joker, which is predicament at the moment, is very much in the balance. novak jacoby rich release from detention was greeted by wild scenes of support in australia, but western media coverage is growing cold. whereas some see his efforts to flat australia is vaccine rules as a sign of arrogance. others see them as a strong, silent protest against such a legislation in the us. some have compared his media treatment with that of gymnast simone biles, who unlike cole, which was championed for her determination to do what she saw was being right for her token, which is admitting that he refuses to get vaccinated. this is the kind of behavior that no ordinary person could possibly get away with these critics of some on biles don't know what they're talking about. they are witnessing strength. and i truly believe that this is the 1st time that simone biles feels like she's more than

a gymnast with the outpouring of support for her. okay, so we are now joined live by legal and media analyst lionel line. my friend, it's kind of a media circus, if you, if you will, mainstream media coverage seems to suggest that to coverage himself was scheming to flat australia's vaccination rules. do you think that the coverage was fair? no, of course not. the, the whole. look, this is something to do with vaccines. this is making a stand. do you notice at all? how interesting it is that in the sports community that will tell you, you cannot use certain substances. you cannot use certain certain items and we don't want to hear why you do it, but these are the rules because we think these are, these things are dangerous, and chemistry is important to us. and what you put in your body is important to us . these athletic organizations, when he implies or employees or that, that same argument,

when he says i'm just for whatever reason, i'm objecting to either mandatory vaccination or the safety of it or whatever they will have not of it. now they're also trying to say that simone biles and naomi osaka, and others were shown incredible courage by basically an am i trying to belittle their case by basically not showing up quitting, say, you know what, i'm not up to it. not feeling a little anxiety, whatever, whatever it is, whatever the reason for this is they applauded. isn't that pro that? is you wonderful? showing the temerity, the intro. pity to quit, to not show up to not compete because she's feeling kind of blue. ok, fine. what he's doing is he say, i have a stand that i am picking by the way, the same issue that the united states supreme court is,

is trying to determine now and will, in some cases, rule mandatory vaccine rules in our country invalid. so it's not a specious argument, it's not that he's just some recalcitrant anti vax or there were people all over the world. doctors, nurses, 1st responders, policeman, fire brigade, poet, every people everywhere, soldiers around the world are arguing. i'll be it for different reasons what he's doing. but yet this leftist woke shadow government, anarchic neolithic sock puppet media. they have this set of rules and they are told you will not abide anyone who dares to question to hesitate or in any way, be rather dubious regarding either vaccinations or vaccination laws. this is a part of their rule. this is their role book. now you, you just brought up something pretty interesting there. where does this court

decision leave vaccine legislation? generally given that your coverage himself may have found a way around it, you just mentioned the supreme court is trying to tackle this issue currently in our country and around the world. people have asked the following question. it's one thing for me to say you have to wear up by a helmet. if the wear seat belts you have to what have you. but in this instance, and i'm not going to go through, by the way, this is not an antique. vax has nothing to do with the safety of vaccines. my talking about that at all. i'm talking about something that is mandatory, something where you cannot enjoy your living, enter certain countries or, or, or could be asked to leave. if you fail or refuse to abide to, to consent to this, this is something which, by the way, in the united states, we have an old case from 19 o 5 that the supreme court most assuredly is going to overrule. because these are

different times. let me also say something in certain communities in our country around the world. there are people who believe in the case of abortion, that a person's liberty, right to persons privacy, right? a right to her body, or right to someone's body, to change gender, to stay a gender, to import, to whatever this is your absolute manifest. right? that is inviolate. this is your body. and guess what? when it comes to this to different story, we don't want to hear those arguments. you will do what we say, and we don't want to hear any reason against. and if you don't, we're going to make an example out of you. and by the way, do you know what this just did to the quote anti vet and a heat that term, but this anti vaccine cost? you made him a mortar. how stupid are these people? you just made this man? i'll murder you, made more people say, hey, you know what? i wasn't really that. sure about this issue, but now what killed, which way to go?

brilliant. did legal and media else line all, always interesting to hear thoughts about every, with a scale nor to international. thank you sir. ah right now, europe is again in the grip of a surgeon cove. it infections and facing violent protest against tighter restrictions. sweden, for one has introduced a work from home mandate and a cap on the number of people allowed to attend to some public spaces. they used on the account, so was there is no doubt that the situation has worsened and the spread of infection in sweden is it historically high levels? italy to has joined the country is bringing and tough rules. it has gotten a super green pass that's only available for the fully vaccinated or those who have recovered from covert not even a negative test result will get you one of those. but some states are taking a different approach. the czech republic is mulling, letting critical employees that test positive for cobra, go to work anyway. authorities are drawing up a list of professions that will probably include health, social,

and education workers. its reportedly due to the micron variance being less likely to fill hospital beds and spares the country's battered economy as well. britain struggling under huge staff shortages in its health services considering lowering the isolation period for koby cases from 7 to 5 days. the proposal came after pressure from several top government officials, prime minister boys. johnson, however, has underlined but he will act in accordance with scientific advice. earlier, my colleague spoke to molecular oncology, lorice young, who believes that the measures of the czech republic and the u. k. are considering could lead to even more infections. very concerned about this. i think it's not based on scientific evidence at all. i think the main driver, the concerns that we have so many people now having to isolate because of these very high levels of infection that we have in the u. k. that people have to isolate and wait for 7 days is causing all sorts of problems with essential services in

this country. with supermarket with delivery chains, with all sorts of different aspects of workforce school teachers having to have time off and a chest of and what they want to do is try to shorten that period to make sure people get back to work sooner. but we must do that at the risk of more people getting infected. that has to be bad, doesn't it? because if you got a positive test result that particularly val select will flow test results, then you're going to be infectious. so you're sending people back into work back into schools with an infection and that will just spread more. busy infection, it won't help you in keeping the levels of infection down. it would just make things worse. switching from covered now russia's vladimir putin has expressed support for ally kazakstan saying days of riots in the central asian republic have been fomented by terrorists, trained abroad with combat experience. the museum, even the aggregation is little military. we are witnessing the aggression of

international terrorism. where did they come from? these gangs of armed men who were trained abroad and clearly had experiencing, fighting in global hotspots. system forces do not shy away from using cyberspace and social networks to recruit extremists and terrorists to create sleeper cells of incisions. we will not allow the situation in our homeland to be disturbed. we will not allow a so called cooler revolution to be carried out. while towards the end of monday, c s t o video conference, russian president vladimir putin described the unrest and cause exten as an attempt by foreign forces to intervene in the domestic problems of catholic stan. and that it was neither the 1st attempt nor the last. he specifically mentioned criminals and international terrorists who were recruited using social media on line. now in terms of color revolutions, the russian president likely had in mind the kind of political violence we've seen across the post soviet world. in recent years, ukraine bella roost, georgia. these color revolutions all had in common the factor of

a varying degree of foreign meddling. that's likely the reason why the cassock president, i express so much gratitude to the c s t o for a quick response to his call for help. he said that the kind of violence we're seeing throughout the country has gone far past the original upset with the governments lifting of the price controls on liquid petroleum gas. so turn the economy, sky of chesnut, believe socio economic and political demands were forgotten about in a hot face unfolded with groups of all militants coming into action. the mango has become obvious to undermine the constitutional order, destroyed government institutions and sees power. we're talking about an attempt to coo, aside from the presence of international terrorists and catholic stand, it seems like this is more of a region wide problem. we heard from the president of to pick a stan who said that islamic state militants are strengthening their possess in afghanistan. and that there is actually over 40 camps and over 6000 militants. that

are islamic terrorists surround the region of central asia. but like, like we were talking about, just in kaz, extend, the anti terrorist operation is winding down. seems like this situation is stabilizing, and c, s t o. peacekeepers will be returning home soon. meanwhile, a day of morning has been declared across because it's done as the authorities say . they have rounded up about 8000 people and terrorism charges with a large number of those being foreigners. the sweeping anti terrorism operation is winding down in kazakhstan, commercial, capital, and largest city almighty, which has borne the brunt of the violence. here's some of the aftermath. writers have been looting, stores and torching government buildings. many of them reportedly carrying firearms . dozens of people have been killed, including 16 police officers. there are claims that some of them were beheaded.

cause officials also say 3 children were killed by gunfire. security video from a shopping center obtained by our correspondent there shows looters destroying glass counters and grabbing anything valuable over all damage in the country is estimated at more than $200000000.00 reporting from all t. here's our correspondent, what i'd gusio it had been said to say that the peaceful protests in kazakhstan caused all that much economic damage. it, it was of the peaceful protests. it was the riots the mayhem and the looting afterwards. that of a scant days has caused more than $200000000.00 in damage to the country. mostly here in the city of amity and those are preliminary estimates. the real damage is expected to be much, much more. kazakhstan has said repeatedly that it believes this wasn't spontaneous, it was organized, looting with more systematically hitting shopping centers and businesses at the

shopping center, c. c, t, v. cameras court, the may him in this shopping center and elsewhere. looters, of course, went for easiest pickings. first that his electronic shops, jewelry stores, as well as h e. m. 's. this, for example, was a food shop, not a lot left aside from a few broken gadgets. shelves were cleared in minutes. security could do nothing but watch and police were engaged in fatal fire. fights with armed gangs elsewhere and the looters went to town. there's very little doubt that this was planned because the people that came here and did this, brought the right equipment. it takes a lot to get into cash machines, but they manage to do. it's taking the cash cassette. who is just the local bullshit? i don't want this to be happening. of course it was scary. we stayed home for almost these were not all people. we were all resting after the new year's

celebrations. we were, some foreigners, were doing all this is we were waking up or people just went out to the square to peacefully protest and then left. and then it all erupted legal server that got there. i heard some kind of running around voices. so i looked out available, most likely when they knocked out the doors of some shops. there are many electronic stores on the street level on it, and then they got into the car and left. there was no police which was this is the level of the one they destroyed. everything people were in danger of being killed. you know? it was scary. it's good that we live far away. it didn't reach us. everything was awful. that there is no street lighting yet. and people are not turning on the lights in their homes. are the people are afraid? there were different people on the streets. at 1st the protests were peaceful monday. he shouldn't have sobers cosette. what can a pensioner say? i'm sitting at home. i'm afraid to go out. good. it's good that we have peacekeepers now. it was a terrifying time for civilians. many hid in their homes,

turning off the lights to avoid attention as gags lay waste to the city of alma t. it was nothing they could do. no, when they could call for help. until the peacekeepers came. ah ah ah ah ah ah, of the now secure airports of almighty evacuations are underway. russians and other nationals that being evacuated abroad charter flights and military cargo planes. what they went through can only be described as an ordeal. rational book, and yet it was scary. of course, there was no information or communication. i'll get back to paris. i have to

explain their how bad the situation here is. they don't report it on the news. france is not organizing anything yet, but i do not think as they say in france, that it is bad that the russians have arrived. this is assistance to the country, the situation, and the citizens of russia. yes, more than that of my now i am more or less normal situation. thank god. we were waiting for these planes to evacuate us where stockton, what is, was it that was faced a crowd that was armed, relieved un hotel next to the square. we saw however, she was burning flash grenades were frown, so he was very scary. it's scary because i was born here and it hurt seeing all the events that happened and are happening. but everything seems to be getting better. but i'm is the classical socrates could have put down the rights on their own. but how long would that take? perhaps there would have been even more casualties. all in all about a 100 people are being evacuated on this one military flight,

but altogether about a 1000.
