this, ah, tonight, his eyes tend to brussels for an extra russian security talk to the west. we look at the groundwork has been laid over the last 24 hours coming up to more problematic partying for the british prime minister than a link to e mails. now is revealed a 100 downing street stuff provided to a boozy get together during the 1st strict national lockdown that ann it's 20 years since 1st detainees arrived at the notorious us guantanamo bay detention center. coming up, we speak with former inmates, but the horrors they went through when fell. i'm always a black hold. legal, black, all sorts of all sorts of shocking things that were taking place. one can always, one of the biggest human right is the 21st century.

even live from our international will do center here in moscow. welcome to. well, we'll do that 9 with me, kevin. oh, it 1st thing with the groundwork laid out are monday between russia and the u. s. it's security talks and geneva eyes now tend to brussels, where negotiations with nato would you to start on wednesday could be tough talks so far. the u. s. has promised a written response to moscow security demands. they include no further eastward expansion of nato or missiles positioned near russian territory. with your husband said sofa, shall i do britsky. well, the talks may have been described as being business july can, friday, when the russian and u. s. delegation met each other in geneva. however, it does seem that no information has been laid back to washington. i slightly different view seems to be taking place with the white house spokesperson

suggesting that russia could be getting ready at any moment to spread this information about what was said in those meetings in what may have been agreed in terms of potential way forwards to angry reaction from the russian foreign ministry, with the spokesperson saying that the u. s. authorities was simply out of touch. we are preparing yourself for the civility 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 and disinformation out there. as for the numerous statements made by the white house press secretary legally, 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 stories, so as not to show your incompetence to the whole world. now, interesting with those comments that russia could be ready to spread this information. give me that the russian delegation held an open press conference. there was a live stream of that press conference with the deputy foreign minister outlining what had happened in the talks and plenty of questions in regards to that from media from across the world. us by contrast, didn't hold an open press conference, so to speak. it was a press conference that was or do own me a telephone with a transcript later being released. some might question who therefore has something to hide. but of course, what we do know from those discussions is that the u. s. is expected to give with a written confirmation response later on this week, in regards to some of the red lines that were out lined by russia,

including potentially that old ukraine. now it was a session business like they said, however, it does appear that there is a lack of optimism as a result of those talks. now from both sides. 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 even before going into these talks that they were of course, new possible, thank sanctions. being threatened by the united states. if it said russia invades ukraine, no russian is that time and time again, it does not intend to evade ukraine, and that was new to rated again at the press conference on monday night. however,

the russian deputy for ministers saying what russia really wants right now is i in plaid guarantees that ukraine will not join the nato alliance. now, will ever, we are fed up with loose dog ha promises, misinterpretation of what happened, but different forms of negotiations behind closed doors. we do not trust the other sites. so to see we need iron clad waterproof bulletproof legally binding guarantees not assurances, not safeguards guarantees. so no concrete breakthrough, particularly with the united states, saying they couldn't discuss issues of ukraine and it's possible membership of native without me to being present its allies being present at the negotiating tables. and that is the stage that we are now at with new round of discussions to

take place on wednesday between nato and the russian delegation, where ukraine of course will be a large part of those discussions we've also heard from the nato secretary general, who's pads lowered the ball when it comes to talks, suggesting that a good outcome would be that they would be more talks in the future rather than any concrete action. however, yet still to make has said that when he was prime minister of norway, he had many discussions with russia. and he had found that the russians were open to negotiations. so perhaps there is a ray of lights at the end of the tunnel. not for a chance to know yet more party prussia for the british prime minister tonight. but once again, it's social not political. elite e mail has revealed another lockdown gathering, involving the leader in his wife, exclaimed, a 100 downing street stuff were 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 is party. and while everybody was simply in a lockdown, it seems as though the government was acting as if there was a cool. so celebration, in fact, the prime minister 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, 2 meters apart. 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 awfully outrageous that the most powerful people in the tory government would be 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 that go into a body was wrong. so how can those run the country have filters was ok. now, number 10 are yet to comment, but far as children has previously and repeatedly said, that all guidelines have been followed. of course, metropolitan police and now weighing in the 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 5 days off the circle parties, 10 days off is that wine and she alleged why re florence. joseph 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 as the police will step in, if necessary. so it comes as no surprise then it's no wonder that even tories on now losing trust in the government, according to the latest shocking pole, more than a 3rd of tories think the boris johnson should quit. and almost $4.10 think he is doing a bad job, of course, considering that's 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 a bar johnson may not go down with his ship. u. k. radio host john cohen says the

saga reflects the sorry, state of british politics in the moment. 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 fined when they wrote, how did he and other members of the cabinet, 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 can 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. ah,

is 20 years to the day since the 1st prisoners were taken to the notorious us prison camper guantanamo bay. and we've been hearing about what they went through. former d to name wasn't bag, was held there for 3 years that 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 beheld without child or travel channel listening to me and i saw 2 people. i saw one present what kind of tied to the top of the page being repeatedly punched and keep them children. the americans accepted that this was a homicide. i also was subject to sounds of a woman screaming in the nes cells that i was led to believe was my wife while interrogated the way pictures of my children in front of me and threatened to send me to egypt and syria. if i didn't cooperate so,

so they're all sorts of shocking things that were taking place. and i, as i say, i was on the get the 3 is there a few people been up to literally 20 years without charge? trop. wasn't bag, holiday or pull by human rights watch details. the tragic extent of the systematic abuse at the prison camp it to assess is the torture and legal detention of hundreds of muslims at guantanamo, and calls upon president joe biden, to repair the damage done. and finally closed the detention facility is a brief history of the infamous facility. ah mm ah,

with we also spoke to 2 more former guantanamo bay detainees, like many others, both of them are never have a charge of the crime. is what they had the site we think of one's animal, we try not to, but it does come up. of course it's continuous is something that continues with us

throughout our life is something that is a grained inside our hearts and spirits. and we have to think about it all the time is something that we cannot change. and sometimes one can tell them, well, like now was in the news. if you think about those 2 are still in so i can tell them i was there for 5 years throughout the 5 years there was continuous thought. so. busy there was no rules, no god, no laws, nothing. the god did what they like and the american system did what they want, something else. so sometimes you are humiliated sexually. sometimes you're beaten. sometimes anything that they thought will get information out of the prisoners and they were willing to commit those books. that's why you were accepting and tell them when tell them or is a black hole legal black hole. what is going on? you know, what time is a place that retake 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 right by the 21st century. no law lives there. no human rights, no any kind of rules or basic right for, for humans. so gonna tell me the existence is a torture injustice as it is now. it's 20 years. and one thing i'll turn to be a political game, or i'm from democrats and republicans. what want to keep it open because that gives you some kind of publicity or something more books. sadie was that humanity and they know what was wrong. they want to know shouldn't exist in the 1st place. human rights lawyer climb stafford smith represent some of those. it made soup and held of the facility and says, 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 and military condition each time we've come to, the supreme court has been when the u. s. government assisted 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 $780.00 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 torch and 540 days and then was taken to guantanamo bay while the us captured the real terrorist and set him free. so it all,

nodded jackie. 17 minutes past the hour. hi, there is our team that will news at 9 continues with me. kevin. i went after the break. the big business gets tough on employees ago. sick with cove, it all have to isolate flashing workers' rights days off. tell me more about re pertinent these days, isn't it very soon? ah, i ah

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race, his on offense, very dramatic development, only personally and getting to resist. i'll see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk ah, go against american retail, a wal mart those half the paid leave for workers that test positive for cove. it almost isolate new company policy says they'll now get just one week off. we heard

from a wal mart employee who says the moves putting people's lives at risk. i don't want to have to pay sick leave 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 don't have to go on our way even all that. some are afraid. you know, of getting a virus. if they get the virus, you know, what are they going to do? if they're so sick after 5 days? i mean, i feel the same way. i can't come in to work when i'm so have coven spread it everywhere? they really don't care so much for all of our lives in danger, even more than before. it's just not. we're not going to die for wal mart. and i don't think anybody else wants to dr. wal mart either will want to policies full of data recommendations from the us census for disease control and prevention, then that allow people to isolate for 5 days after a cove with 19 infection instead of 10, i will not spokesperson said they also had introduced a number of policies to help employees to in the crisis, including working from home when possible, until the end of january,

and search in covey cases in the u. s. is cause significant labor shortages. a survey of hourly paid workers found that 65 percent of them are reported being sick in the last month said they went to work anyway. peter norton again police, it's because people simply can't afford to take the time off. if you have summer go fever, you're still might feel sick. you know, i do not feel well, but you still can come to work after 5 days. you don't get paid anymore. you don't pay more paid pay for it 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 far because they can't afford to or not, they're not going to pay. so they're still going to come in to work sick with the virus and be contagious and spread it to everybody else. it's very fair to say i was miss that fact, it was complete negligence on there are they should not have done that. they should have been taking a rush, but the factory thing and their profits. and right after wal mart announced this

new policy tech john amazon followed suit and shortened paid sick leave for its work is to employees now will be entitled to 7 days. instead of the previous 10, the guidelines impact all workers, regardless of the vaccination status and a similar kind of story across the atlantic in the u. k, the kid is just an, as it's cutting sick, pay for certain groups of unvaccinated work is the math to self isolate will stay with the impact of the pandemic. europe continues to grapple with high covered and infection rates. it's also been facing valid demonstrations to against the types of restrictions because of it. with the testing of measures, germany is saying, protest get increasingly agitated. ah, did, with every

state across the federal republic, seeing some gathering, some of them very small. some of them around a 1000 people, couple a 1000 people or so the major cities like berlin cologne, leipzig, all seeing larger demonstrations. now those protestors who've 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. what we have seen though is state leaders like the one in saxony, michael, curt, rare, all to be 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 home. you have to show the government, the red car that things should not continue as they have been up to. now i need composite re 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 allow, it's an 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 hosted 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 o micron 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 a schools on critical workforce at ubs, i hope will be one of the 1st you'll see the question. how will i will, we've performed, i hope, will be one of the 1st major economies to demonstrate to the world how you transition from pandemic to endemic what's going on across europe when it comes to covert 19. and a real patchwork of methods being used to try in both keep economies alive. keep

countries open and stifle the spread of the virus me. while a french m. p. 's been accosted by a group of protest as outside his home over the decision to implement coven passports in overseas territories, near canada, pictures postal social media than show. steph and clara being pelted the seaweed and stole his entering his property at some. pierre and michael on the mp has said he'll fall criminal charges now against all was a vote in the attack as latest on it. how fast faults will limit people's movements if they are and vaccinated. well, me time here in moscow cove infections have risen 66 percent in the past 24 hours. the russian health officials say they are prepared for it with a rapidly spreading omicron strain seen as the key factor. will health organizations won't, that half of europe's population will have been infected with a new strain within the coming weeks. at his donald quarter reports on the situation here, then in russia to night. while 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 the 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 store, while the on the kron, strange level of infectiousness is absolutely unprecedented. the level of lift ality and the number of hospitalizations might be 60 to 70 percent lowers. 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 or 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 them across making its mark on russia, we have to see what kind of new measures we'll be seeing in the near future here the world of the same photo. we will also, we're talking about you're going to find out more r t dot com. but for now, that starts into nationals, world news at 9 and reporting for kevin. and he had selected the b service. have a good evening. ah. join me every 1st on the alex simon show. when i was speaking to guess in the world,

the politics sport business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. me. oh, when i want something wrong. when i just don't hold any world yet to see how this thing becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail went so many find themselves worlds apart. we choose to look for common ground july, an annual festival in saint petersburg dedicated to dust. i epsky ah, the great writer, thinker and psychologist, people often turn to his work to understand russia and russians, perhaps even themselves. think what they sing on what it would be asleep,

but the matting vehicle of wiley vinegar, changing a rita, transforming them as they read. that's a dust i asked as unique ability to stay ascii wants to tell us, you can better yourself. he makes you face your true self, sir. are you a wicked beyond conventions rules of schemes beyond boundaries and time. dostoevsky is a global brand whose classics as everyone knows a never out of style. ah ah, ah, ah, ah.
