ah ah, tonight theorist establishes a new national security unit to combat domestic terrorism just as america marks the anniversary of the january 6th capitol hill right elsewhere. as i said to brussels for the next round of russia security talked with the west. whittaker, the groundwork has been laid out during told, within russia in the us thus far more problematic partying for the british prime minister than a leaked emails revealed, a 100 downing street stop were invited to a boozy get together during the 1st national strict lock down there. in 2020 and it's 20 years since the 1st detainees arrived at the notorious us one panama of a detention center. we speak with former inmates about the horrors they went
3:01 pm
through. i will tell them all in the black hole, legal black hole. so that all sorts of shocking things that were taking place. one can only is one of the biggest human right by the 21st century. hello there. life mart, intellectuals will do center in moscow. welcome to our world news at 11 with me, kevin. so one year after the capitol hill riots, the u. s. department of justice is established a new domestic terrorism unit to combat threats that they claim have doubled. in the past 2 years, i decided to establish a domestic terrorism unit to augment our existing approach. this group of dedicated attorneys will focus on the domestic terrorism threat, helping to ensure that these cases are handled properly and effectively coordinated across the department of justice and across the country. so big threat kellum opens
3:02 pm
across this new york city kayla. tell us more. sure will that announcement came in testimony before the senate judiciary committee, that was matthew olson, the deputy us attorney of the national security division of the u. s. department of justice and this cons. less than a week after there were investigations into january 6, the year ago was the one year anniversary recently of the january 6 capital riot which is being investigated in the testimony. we heard from olsen as well as other figures from the department of justice and they discussed about the fact that they argue that white supremacists, anti government extremists, and others are the primary danger to the united states in terms of terrorism. now from there we heard of further calls comparing them essentially to islamic radicals . here's what we heard from my perspective. spinning a lot of time focused on the radicalization of international terrorists and
3:03 pm
islamic extremists and extremists of all stripes. this group shares many of the same characteristics. people who feel like their way of life is under attack. many of those people i would, i would guess last year had carried those exact beliefs and thoughts as they marched their way to break into the nation's capital. now, republicans called this a which aren't and clamped down on descent that's only going to so more division in the united states. unfortunately, one year later, the majority party seems no closer to answering the central question of how the capital was left so unprepared and what must be done to ensure it never happens again. instead, they are using it as a partisan political weapon to further divide our country. now, republicans also re its concerns about why the january 6th capital riots seems to
3:04 pm
be getting more attention and more investigation from congress than the year of rioting that took place in 2020. as the height of the pandemic. they're arguing that this is about politics and about playing up demon ization of republicans and playing up the fact that the democrats feel threatened and our victim, they argue that they're essentially trying to get political points out of this and use it to serve a partisan agenda. so we now understand that this new division of the us department of justice will be formed. that's the big announcement that came in testimony before the senate judiciary committee kind of thing. so okay, well for one the big announcement to may be so it might be coming up of 2 big meetings that are happening tomorrow when the ground work lay dead. so monday between russia and the u. s. security talks, geneva, all eyes that all brussels for tomorrow when they go see ations with nights it would do to start so far. the u. s. has promised a written response to moscow security demands. they include no further eastward
3:05 pm
expansion of nato or missiles position near russian territory with more must be said so far looking ahead shallow. do been ski. well, the talks may have been described as being business liken frying. when the russian us delegation metal children in geneva. however, it does seem that now information has been laid back to washington. a 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 war 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 in likelihood. no one should be surprised. i should say,
3:06 pm
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 every one not to fall for any attempts to pushed and dis information out there. as for the numerous statements made by the white house press secretary, cleveland, 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. no interesting with those comments that russia could be ready to spread this information. given 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,
3:07 pm
didn't hold an open press conference, so to speak. it was a press conference that was or do you 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 outlined 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
3:08 pm
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 rush is that time and time again. it does not intend to evade ukraine. and that was reiterated again at the press conference on monday night. however, the russian deputy foreign minister saying what russia really wants right now is, i implied, guarantees that ukraine will not join the nato alliance. now will ever, we are fed up with loose dog, half promises, misinterpretation of what happened, that different forms of negotiations behind closed doors. we do not trust the other
3:09 pm
side, 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 tools, suggesting that a good outcome would be that they would be more talks in the future rather than any concrete action. however,
3:10 pm
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 yet will party pressure for the bridge premier subarus johnston, but to once again, it's social as well as political, a leaked email is revealed. another lockdown gathering, involving the leader and his wife exclaimed, a 100 downing street stuff were voted for a boozy. get together at the height of the kobe lock times there 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
3:11 pm
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 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
3:12 pm
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 going to a party was wrong. so how can those run the country have filters was ok? now, number 10 are yet to comment, but forest children has previously and repeatedly said that all guidelines have been followed. of course, the metropolitan police are now weighing and considering investigating 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 of that one. and she's 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
3:13 pm
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 on 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 and 10 think he is doing a bad job. of course, considering this 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 booze cruise, but it seems as though barth johnson may not go down with his ship with us to pay to poll u. k. radio. how's john go and says the saga reflects the sorry, state of british politics at the moment. horace 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 get in fine when they broke it. how did he and other members of the cabinet,
3:14 pm
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 it won't let story illustrates it 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 is 20 is the day since the 1st prisons were taken to the notorious us prison camp at guantanamo bay. we've been hearing about what they went through. formerly telling was a bag 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.
3:15 pm
who never met at all because they probably be held that child or travel channel listening to me. and i saw 2 people. i saw one present with his hands on his head to the top of the cage being repeatedly punched and keep him taking his children. the americans 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 interrogators from the 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, i say i was only get to 3 people then up to literally 20 years without charge and you were poor by human rights watch details. the tragic extend to the systematic abuse at the prison camp. it assesses the torture and illegal detention
3:16 pm
3:17 pm
we also spoke to 2 more former guantanamo bay detainees. and like many others, both of them were never charged with a crime. is what they had to say. 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 grain inside our hearts and spirits. and we have to think about it all the time. is something that we cannot change. and sometimes when, when tell them well like now is in the news, we 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 torture. so there was no rules, no god,
3:18 pm
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 folks. that's why we're captain. gonna tell them when i 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 gwen, tell me the existence is a torture injustice as it is now. it's 20 years and it want to know turn to
3:19 pm
be a political game or i'm for democrats and republicans. what want to keep it open because that gives you some kind of publicity or in some kind of 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 clive stafford smith represent some of those that made have been held at the facility and says, the process of obtaining justice for the prisoners is long and convoluted. something that i, as an american lawyer various shane danced 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 gone to the supreme court has been when the u. s. government assisted it's right term to keep prisoners without
3:20 pm
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 funds, i still represent 6 people. and one of my clients is someone who is mistaken for a true terrorist who has torch and for 540 days and then was taken to guantanamo bay while the us captured the real terrorist and set him free. so it all had sterling them for american know, it broke the world record for daily registered covered infections of monday with more than 1300000 cases according to reports. but they also saw the highest number of hospitalizations with many medical facilities overwhelmed and facing severe stuffing shortages health authorities of even then now allowed metrics. this is
3:21 pm
crucial infected with coded to stay on work if they have mild symptoms. wow, well, they'll have to wear extra protective masks, though the covey it and should be assigned to only treat coded patients is still look quick, quite clear how she can be put into action. though at this stage, we don't have any information on whether hospitals will adopt this approach or not . but what we do know is that hospitals are expecting many more patients in the coming days than they're going to be able to care for with the current resources. well, let's go live to david green for the service employees international news based annella. thanks. he a time to live in ots international. you know, the years go on is 2 years going to 3 now with this whole covered thing has been a roofing for everyone. awful for the people of course it, but of course, thoughts are those people have to deal with it for the exhausted guys to treat people in hospitals and nurses. the doctors going through wave after wave off of
3:22 pm
this having to deal with maybe getting it themselves is the system close to breaking point? where are we tonight? it's a scary and dangerous time here in los angeles county. as you said, we're, we're 25 times the number of coven infections compared to the state. 40 times, the amount of former mortality. so it's a scary, dangerous time or on pins and needles, and it's become harder and harder to provide frontline service. but we've, we've been out of for 20 months. yeah. and now it's so desperate. the, you're going to allow people have already gone cove, it in there with those vulnerable people. okay. the theory is they're only going to be treating other covered patients. but can you keep the medics in a bubble like that? i mean, hospitals, hospital is a busy place. it is in, you know, there's been a directive from the california department of health services. it's gonna force require our nurses that have been coven exposed, you know, back to the hospitals. so we've been pushing back on it today in the last few days
3:23 pm
saying that it, that it's makes it even more scary or dangerous to have folks that have that have been exposed treating patients and potentially putting them at rest. what is the medical science for, for it? well, there is not a medical science at, we're extremely short staffed, as you, as you said. and so it's, it's a staffing issue more than anything else, but, but you know, our job is to protect and serve the public and our patients and this put some higher risk. so we're, we're pushing back in our messages. let's make sure that folks have been exposed and test positive. give them the time to, to quarantine and be away from patients and fill in these staffing gaps or otherwise it puts a 1000000 people. either way, if you haven't got enough stuff is a danger. people may dive other things. it's a terrible quandary, isn't it? but if you allow people to work who feel fit enough to work in the gulf cove, it could they be in danger of killing people to every day. it's life and death every day. we're dealing with life and death and we're just making sure we're doing everything we can to protect these patients. but it's difficult when there's
3:24 pm
mandates coming down from the state that are pushing us and forcing our nurses back to work. so we were able to speak with a board of supervisors today in the seo for lake county. and you know, we don't want to put anybody at risk. our job is to serve the public and our patients. and it's gotten more and more difficult and we're hoping that folks listen to our concerns and ally with us. just stop these dangerous practices. so you, you guys to a cracking job, but the very night you go good hearts. what is the ground feel you've got your into the ground. you represent these people. what's the ground for these everyone against against it is a $5050.00 split. well, you know, i think for our workers we're feeling overwhelmed and stressed and we've been out this, you know, home as you said, you know, going on the 3rd year really. and so we're just asking for the tools we need and the staff we need to provide the best quality service to our patients. but it's really difficult when there's all the, you know, there's political directives that go against the idea of health and safety and put our patients in life threatening conditions, skill job, you do as well. the conscious magic people up. oh,
3:25 pm
can you just we supposed to bring people in the local wall? it's a great question. so we've been sounding the alarm for years about the understaffing . but in the needs it's, it's not just in our health services, but children services, apartment public social services here in los angeles county. so this is not a new problem, but we really reach the breaking point here in los angeles, and we need help and we need people list, know us, and be our allies so, so we can help the most vulnerable citizens of los angeles county. away from this you think this is going to be a fin, end of the wedge, or one do you know stuff in short, in businesses and services that a deep, vital, are we going to see more of it in the future? i is this the great awakening, the especially come to that of that have had vaccines of the majority of vaccines that well lives going to go on at some point in. that's the hope i am an optimist by nature. so i'm hoping things get better. but right now it feels like we're reaching the breaking point and things are going to get worse before they get better. and it's just really important that our workers, the people i represent, of the tools that we need to protect these vulnerable citizens. david greene,
3:26 pm
president, the service employs international union l. a. a best, you know, all the guys that you're representing as well. thank you. thank you for your time. i appreciate it. no less. amid the coven taylor in the u. s. a president joe biden is continuing to praise his team's policies during the pandemic to today. america is the only leading economy in the world where the economy is a whole is stronger than before the pandemic. no wonder one leading economic out asked me analyst describe what we've accomplished in 2021 is the strongest 1st year economic track record of any president in the last 50 years. however, a recent poll suggests that 68 percent of american say the economy is the biggest concern. now, while just that he's 7 percent think the virus is one of the top 5 pirates. he's a major shifted opinion from a year ago. see more of i will be talking about on the main site r. c dot com,
3:27 pm
but for now that socks international world news at 11, where are the old shooting in from around the globe rights? have you company? it's been kevin oh, in reporting for you and a very good evening. ah . but, and i make no certainly no borders. i'm just like to nationalities. and you guys as a merge, we don't have a therapy. we don't have a vaccine. whole world needs to be ready people are judgment. 2 common crisis with we can do better, we should be doing better. every one is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great to
3:28 pm
response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together with oh, i think wrong when i just don't hold a to see out disdain. because the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. now we have e cigarettes, i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to cigarettes. do we trust tobacco companies with their message that these new products are actually going to reduce?
3:29 pm
are these, these sugars are raising the tobacco up into our tours the max kaiser? this is the report, you know, everybody is concerned about big coin being upon this game, but in fact, that's the only thing out there. there's not upon the game, it's an open source project built by volunteers. it's not a public, but there are a lot of policies out there, stacy? yes, max, we're coming to you again from mexico. and this is our last episode and mexico for so far this year. 2022. we had to el salvador next, but i wanted to look at this headline from the web site wolf street dot com. it is not written by wolf, richter, who is our guest in the 2nd half,
3:30 pm
but he published it with a writer on his website. and the headline is called the problems with pansy's. no, he's not talking about the us dollar. in this particular case, he's talking about what he calls the ponzi sector on the stock market, which is dot com to point know, but they're kind of service companies like pallets on. a lot of the sector that boomed during the pandemic with all the free money pouring into everybody's stock accounts and all the robin hood app thing, all the ones with of fictional sort of income. well, this is how he defines it. this is a whole grouping of companies that has no ability or desire to ever become profitable. instead, these businesses have focused on rapid revenue growth because the stock market has rewarded them for this growth, especially if there are no profits in reality. stock promotion is the core business of the pansy sector. it allows the companies to raise capital and fund unprofitable growth while insiders dumped stock at insane valuations. now as as palsy sector
