that gentleman, good news. yep. job security is the world desperately needs that you have to do with the groundwork is certain red lines explained russia in the u. s. law corns in brussels for a week of bilateral security talks. we'll be getting some live insight over the next few minutes. auto to car, more programmatic partying for the british. prime minister league email has revealed a 100 dining st staff were invited to a booty get together during the 1st national lockdown at. ah, protest is a pepper sprayed in germany during another demonstrations against strict new measures that ah, good evening, just gone 6 in moscow. you're watching arte international. now with much of the

crime were laid out on monday. russia and the u. s. delegations are getting down to the nitty gritty of their week long secure. he talks so far. the u. s. is promised a written response to russia. security demands and they include no nato eastwood expansion or ukraine. membership of the military alliance, all me, south positioned, near russian territory. so let's get lake snack with charlotte davinsky, who's in brussels for us. right. and i following what's been happening over the last day or 2. charlotte, we know there been plenty of talks. plenty of our long meetings, just bring us up to date them with what's been said so far. ah, yes, well that's right. i mean, following that 8 hour marathon discussion between the russian and the us delegation on monday in geneva. we were told that the discussions were business like in frank,

given this it is mitchie subjects that they were discussing. that seemed to be as optimistic as many people thought they could be at this stage with both outlining what their red lines were and agreeing that more discussions are needed in the future. however, as soon as the messages seem to have been conveyed back to washington, we're getting a slightly different response now with blue white house, a press secretary, already suggesting that russia could be ready to provide this information in regards to what was said at the meeting. and what it was or wasn't agreed on. now, that is provoked a fiery reaction from the spokesperson from the russian foreign ministry who says that the us authorities, us simply out of touch that haven't listened to those exchanges. we are preparing yourself for the possibility and likelihood, no one should be surprised. i should say, if russia spreads disinformation about commitments that have not been made or if it

goes even further, and instigates something as a proof text for further destabilizing activity. and so we would continue to urge everyone not to fall for any attempts to pushed in this information out there. as for the numerous statements made by the white house press, secretary leave lenient, but it is sincerely regretable that the american leadership is represented by people who do not know the subject well enough. but it's telling them we advise you . colleagues, not to forget to use critical thinking and carefully double check with at least the most important story, so as not to show your incompetence to the whole world. just to put this in context, the, you know, the allegation from the white as press secretary that russia could be about to spread. this information is interesting, given that the russian delegation held a pretty open press conference following that meeting with their us counterparts. it was a briefing that i myself and many of the journalists were invited to it was even live stream who's with the deputy foreign minister,

explaining what had happened and what russia was hoping to get out of the talks in the future. meanwhile, the u. s. counterparts held a press conference that was while the more closed it was held over audio with a phone and it wasn't open to all with the transcript being released and later on. so some might question who exactly is hiding walked in regards to what was said. now you mentioned there that we do understand the u. s. authorities are likely to be giving a written response later this week to some of the demands from russia. one of the big issues discussed that that meeting was of course ukraine. now, russia has said it's a red line i for the country, the idea that ukraine could possibly join nate to in the future. and the minister saying, never, ever that that should happen. but it does seem that full not meeting and that there is perhaps

a lack of optimism for the future. we do not see any significant reason for optimism. the only thing that deserves positive assessment is the way the talks were conducted with openness, thoroughness, and directness. but this is not something that can bring satisfaction because what is important is the result, not the process. it was not what you would call a negotiation. we're not to a point where we're ready to set down texts and begin to go back and forth. well, the russian deputy foreign minister also talked about that being a lack of trust in the us authorities. and it's probably pretty clear from what we heard from the white house that, that is a mutual distrust from both sides, though, of course, what perhaps didn't help is going into the negotiations engine april monday. the u . s. already bonded about these new possible sanctions that could be put in place. if russia invades ukraine,

it has been saying for the last few months that it believes an invasion is imminent . due to what it says is an increase number of russian troops near the border that moscow has consistently denied that there is going to be an invasion. in fact, that was here to rated again in the press conference on monday night that there is no chose that moscow will be looking to send in crane. however, the deputy, a russian foreign minister saying, you know what we actually needed. i in clod guarantees that ukraine will never ever join the nato alliance. we are fed up with loose dog ha, for mrs. misinterpretation of 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 bullet proof legally binding

guarantees. not assurance is not safeguards guarantees. well, i don't know how you could be much more clear real not now in regards to their being . any breakthrough in that issue, we know the u. s. has said that they won't be able to discuss that without it's of the nato allies being. but we did hear from the us that the idea that washington would not accept anybody making decisions about who becomes a member of nato in the future. so the stage now is set for the next set of talks in these sets. the doors will be between nato and russian counterparts. they're going to take place on wednesday with of course, ukraine. once again, being one of the big topics at the table at will they be able to move forward on

this subject of ukraine joining nato or nor to red line. it seems for both sides. well, we know that the need to general secretary has all ready lowered the ball when it comes to optimism on those talks. saying that perhaps a good outcome is just an agreement to hold fir that talks at but we have heard from me in stoughton burke who has said that at least when he was prime minister of norway. it was possible to, to make discussions with russia and to make deals with russia. so wednesday, the new stage is set for the next level of talks, this time between nato and it's russian counterparts. of course we will be following those are very closely. okay, thank you. charlotte, michelle davinsky reporting there from brussels. ah, no, the news tonight yet more party prussia for the british prime minister, boorish johnson because sir, but once again,

it's social and not political. because elite e mail has revealed another lockdown gathering, involving the leader and his wife, and it's claimed, a 100 dining street staff for invited for a boozy get together in 2020 hi all. after what has been an incredibly busy period, it would be nice to make the most lovely weather and have some socially distance drinks and the number 10 garden this evening. please join us from 6 p. m, and bring your own booze. well, it seems as though all the prime minister was during, during this pandemic as party. and while everybody was simply in a lockdown, it seems as though the government was acting as if there was a cause for celebration. in fact, the prime minister's chief 8 simply sent out this message saying that the lovely weather in may of 2020 was ample enough reason to host a party. and so invited around a 100 people to a, bring your own booth, downing street garden party. now it's alleged that around 40 people attended this

party, including boris johnson. the only problem is the time the rules clearly stated, even reiterated just an hour before that invitation went out. but you can only me talk with one other person from another household and of cool social distance to meet as a pot. so it's probably not much of a surprise for me to tell you this huge amount of opposition to it, including calls for the prime minister to resign. people will find it utterly outrageous that the most powerful people in the tory government were using up at number 10 downing street proving yet again that it's one rule for them. and another for the rest of us. if the prime minister had a shred of integrity or an ounce of shame, he would have resigned many months ago. boris johnson has consistently shown that he has no regard for the rules he puts in place for the rest of us. at the time everyone would have known had gone to a party was wrong. so how can those run the country have filters was ok?

now, number 10 are yet to comment, but far as johnson has previously and repeatedly said, that all guidelines have been followed. of course, metropolitan police and now weighing and considering investigating and the now in communication with the cabinet office. but just to give you a bit of an idea of what was happening the time here in london on may the 25th. that's 5 days off of this, so cool party, 10 days off is that wine and cheese alleged why re florence johnson said this. the only reason we have been able to make such progress is because the country has observed the social distancing rules. feel free to speak to people yourself if you feel they are not observing the rules and the police will step in if necessary. so it comes as no surprise then it's no wonder that even tories ah, now losing trust in the government. according to the latest shocking pole, more than a 3rd of tories think that boris johnson should quit. and almost $4.10 think he is doing a bad job, of course, considering that is now being dozens of party revelations and allegations floating

around during the locked down period. it sounds as though the government was almost on the booth cruise, but it seems as though bar johnson may not go down with his ship. u. k. radia host john gordon says the saga does reflect the sorry state of british politics. morris johnson has absolutely disgusted me. it is completely and utterly wrong when we, the people were following all the advice to the letter. and some people were getting fine when they wrote, how did he and other members of the government, if they were there, break their own rules. and no man or woman is above the law and the law should take precedence here and they should investigate. it's not good enough that that's going to report in weeks and weeks needs to report. now what this story illustrates, it's just how poor our mainstream politicians are today. they're all pretty

useless and you couldn't put a cigarette paper between them. we've been let down in our country by the political class, the professional political class. they all basically discussed me. well, those revelations of downing street gatherings didn't come amid europe's ongoing attempts to grapple with high coven infection rates. it's also been facing 2 violent demonstrations against tight restrictions with toughening the toughening of measures in germany seeing protest get increasingly agitated. aah! in every state across the federal republic. seeing some gathering, some of them very small. some of them around

a 1000 people. couple of 1000 people or so the major cities like berlin cologne, leipzig, all seeing larger demonstrations. now those protestors who have come out to say absolutely no way to mandatory vaccination in germany. they may well have been boyd by the, the news coming out of austria that the plan to introduce mandatory vaccination there by february is certainly been pushed back at least a month. or what we have seen though is state leaders like the one in saxony, michael, curt chair of the christian democratic union saying that there's, there's a section of society that germany has lost a hold of that no matter what they say, no matter what they do. and these people are not going to accept coven restrictions, and they're not going to certainly accept mandatory vaccination. now we are expecting there to be a more restrictions put in place in germany. coming up this week, all of shots, the german chancellor will be speaking in parliament later this week. and now

overall the, the message for the coming from the people in germany is that they support these measures that are being put in place. however, as i said, there is a hard core nucleus who are wealth absolutely outraged by what they're saying. we have freedom of expression. we are the people, we are citizens, they are, you have to do your duty. you have to show the government to red car that things should not continue as they have been up to. now. i can pull free vaccination is clearly a violation of the constitution. it's clearly totalitarian and absolutely must be prevent our thought. should it be decided by these criminals who unfortunately, ross now, well elsewhere in europe, in italy, what we're seeing is new restrictions coming in there as well. they've already brought in the super green pass. now already italy had what was called the green pass. this allows and people in bars restaurants, cafe to see that you tested negative super green pass that's put in place for the

over fifties in italy, specifically that shows that you've been vaccinated and that you have tested negative in the czech republic, there is talk of allowing even people who tested positive to go to work, it's an attempt to try and keep the economy alive. it is only at the discussion stage at the moment in prague. but what they're basing it on is the idea that the omicron varies results in less people requiring hospital stays, and that would allow them to keep the economy going if certain professions were allowed to continue, even if you tested positive for cove. and of course, if you have a, a mild case of it over in the united kingdom, they are also looking at lifting restrictions a little bit, not as extreme as what's being discussed in the czech republic. of course though, they're, you going to see the isolation period for cove at 90 reduced from 7 days to 5 days

. this is because they have real staff shortages in the u. k. when it comes to the, the health care sector and in education as well. the education minister in the united kingdom, the education secretary in london saying that they're looking at this and it's alongside the, the scientific data and they're going to make a decision based on that. i would, but obviously always defer to the scientific advice on this. it would certainly help mitigate some of the pressures on earth. the schools on critical workforce at ubs, i hope, will be one of the 1st. you'll see the question, how we, how will we performed, i hope will be one of the 1st major economies to demonstrate to the world how you transition from pandemic to end them, a lot going on across europe when it comes to cove at 19 and a real patchwork of methods being used to try in both keep calling him. he's alive, keep countries open and stifle the spread of the virus. pedro oliver reporting now . meanwhile, a french m. p. 's been accosted by

a group of protest as i've side his home over the decision to implement the passports and overseas territories. near canada, footage posted on social media head does show. stefan clara being held could see read and stones as he was entering his property on some pierre, a vehicle. the m. p has said he will file criminal charges against all those involved in the attack of passports will limit people's movements if they are unvaccinated. i hear moscow cove infections have risen 66 percent in the last 24 hours, but russian health officials do say that they were prepared for it with the rapidly spreading micron strain seen as a key factor. the world health organization has worn though, that half of europe population will have been infected with the new strain within the coming weeks. parties don't quarter as more now on the cobit situation in russia. well, the 1st alma kron case in russia was detected just about a month ago,

but it seems to be spreading across the country like wildfire as usual. moscow and its suburbs were the 1st to take a beating. we saw the number of daily cases rise. a whopping 66 percent over just the previous 24 hours. now, russian medical experts have said that we should have expected a new wave of infections, but that the number of deaths that will probably be looking at in the future will be a lot lower than we've seen in the past. move in still, while the on the kron, strange level of infectiousness is absolutely unprecedented. the level of left ality and the number of hospitalizations might be 60 to 70 percent lower. but still, with such a level of infectiousness, more people are going to get ill. that was the deputy director of the gamma leyha institute that develop sputnik v. he also said that we should expect another wave of new infections come late january, early february. as for the authorities, they promised to keep the situation under control. so we can expect to see some new measures being rolled out on the whole measures in russia have been generally quite

lighter than in most european countries. of course, it varies between different regions of the country. but in moscow, at least q r codes are needed to enter cultural institutions like museums and theaters. several months ago, the authorities also discussed possibly instituting q r codes for certain forms of travel, like on airplanes and trains. those measures, however, have not yet been implemented. so with alma kron making, it's mark on russia, we have to see what kind of new measures we'll be seeing in the near future. now, the american retailer, walmart is half the paid leave the work is that test positive for cobit or must isolate company policy? does say they will now get just one week off. we heard from walmart employee. he does say though that the move in his, her belief is putting people's lives at risk. i don't want to pay sickly for employees who aren't going to be at work. they'd rather us come to work sick, spread the virus to other people,

get other people sick. have them have to go on our way even all that. some are afraid of getting a virus. if they get the virus, what are they going to do? if they're still sick after 5 days? i mean, i feel the same way. i can't coming to work when i'm still have coven spread it everywhere. they really don't care. so i put all, all our lives in danger even more than before as just not worse. i'm not going to die for wal mart. and i don't think anybody else wants to dr. wal mart either. well, he policies the follow up dated recommendations from the us centers for disease control and prevention that do allow people to isolate for 5 days are for cobra. 19 infection instead of 10, a walmart spokesperson said they had also introduced a number of other policies to, to help employees during the crisis, including working from home where possible until the end of january or surging cobra cases in the us is cor significant labor shortages. the survey of hourly paid workers found that 65 percent of them who reported being sick in the last month

said they went to work anyway. peter norton again believes it's because people just can't afford to take the time off. if you have some fever, you still might feel sick, you know, i still feel well, but you still can come to work. and after 5 days you don't get paid anymore. you don't pay more paid pay leave for that because of that. a lot of people are going to say, even if they do have a fever or something like that, they're going to say that they are, that they feel foreign because they can't afford to are not still not getting paid . so they're still going to come into work sick with the virus and be contagious and spread it to everybody else as very fair to say i was miss that fact, it was complete negligence on their part. they should not have done that. they should have, you know, been taking a rush, but in the fact they're thinking profits or right after walmart and own states, new policies, tech giant amazon followed suit to and short and paid sickly for its workers. employees will now be entitled to 7 days instead of the previous 10,

the guidelines impact all workers, regardless of the vaccination status. and then across the atlantic in the u. k, i care has just announced it's cutting sick pay for certain groups of ins, unvaccinated workers who have to self isolate. it is 20 years to the day since the 1st prisoners were taken to then the tories us prison camp at guantanamo bay. and we've been hearing a bank what they went through. former detainee was, i'm beg, was held there for 3 years without ever being charged with any crime. unfortunately, on this anniversary 20 years, there are people i spoke to young boys. one no longer young, that 1819 years old, who never met at all because they probably be held without child or travel channel . listening to me as i saw 2 people, i saw one prison with hands tied to the top of the cage being repeatedly punched

and keep them children. the american accepted that this was a homicide. i also was subject to the sounds of a woman screaming in the nest cell that i was led to believe was my wife while interrogated some way pictures of my children in front of me and threatened to send me to egypt and to syria. if i didn't cooperate so that all sorts of shocking things that were taking place. and i, as i say i was on the get to 3, is there a few people been up to literally 20 years without charge or crop? and the report by human rights watch details. the tragic extent of the beast and prison camp. it assesses the torture and legal detention of hundreds of muslims at guantanamo, and calls upon president joe biden, to repair the damage done. and to finally close the detention center, his a brief history of the infamous facility. ah

ah ah.

now we also spoke to for mack, 1, 10 am obey detainee man saw a day fee. he spent 14 years there and like many others, was never charged with a crime. he says, the facilities, very existence is an injustice. guantanamo, you know what animal is a place that re tate garage, you know, injustice. one time when i was a simple torture, injustice, lawlessness, abuse of power in different dishes, one can only is one of the biggest human rights and the 21st century. no law lives there. no human rights, no any kind of rules or basic right for, for humans. so guantanamo existence is, a torture is injustice as it is now it's 20 years. and he wanted or turn to be a political again, or under for new mac routes and lubricants. you know what, i'm like us, what want to keep it open because that gives them some kind of publicity or been

something more books savvy? was that humanity within and they know what that was wrong. they don't want them shouldn't exist in the 1st place. human rights lawyer, hiv stafford smith, represent some of those who makes you have been held at the facility and says that the process of obtaining justice for the prisoners is long and convoluted. something that i, as an american lawyer very ashamed on that we in the us have held people indefinitely without trial now for 20 years. in some cases there's no excuse for that. it's absolutely wrong. it's very, very difficult to explain why it takes a long time and even with a very small number of prisoners. sure, they want true military condition each time we've come to the supreme court has been when the us government to assess it, it's right term to keep prisoners without proper trials. and each time they've lost . and you would think that here we are 20 as on,

surely they've now narrowed down the people since 780 they originally said were the worst terrorists in the world. i think now that get it right, but they haven't. and indeed, one of my clients, i still represent 6 people. and one of my clients is someone who is mistaken for a true terrorist who has tortured 540 days and then was taken to guantanamo bay while the us captured the real terrorist and set him free. so it all nodded. you watching are scenes national that brings you up to date the laneesa fall this evening. we'll be back with the headlines. are more stories in the back office. ah ah .

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation. let it be an arms race is often very dramatic, development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk ah, 13 years later and back in period it back in the new. i'm not talking about the movie this time, a judge in mexico once accountability that issued

a several arrest warrant. will this bring up the obama era scandal for the democrats to deal with? but we're going to bring you the story as well as a good discussion. another high profile, a democrat, and congress has tested positive for coven 19 just as a speaker, polosa is announcing even to strict requirements for members. we're going to tell you the new rule and how republicans are responding on sky. now here's a new, just a few of the stories that we're going to cover today. the news years you right here on r c. america? ah, thanks for joining me. you know, if there warn't, have been issued in the controversial fast and furious gun running operation that has caused a no shortage of across port tensions between the united states and mexico. so for more on this out in who has been targeted. and the latest on this very developing

story, here's artie correspond.
