to the me tonight for us establishes a new national security. you need to come by domestic terrorism just as america marks the anniversary of the january 6 capitol hill ride elsewhere is always send to brussels for the next round of russia. security talk to the west states. today. we look at the groundwork this week, lay cheering towards between russia and the u. s. already more problematic partying for the british prime minister. the lead female is revealed, a 100 downing street stuff are invited to a boozy get together during the 1st national lock is 20 years since the 1st the chinese arrived to the notorious us guantanamo bay detention center. coming up, we speak with former inmates about the horrors they went through. went that a law is a black hole, legal black hole. so that all sorts of shocking things that were taken place once

and only one of the biggest tumor, right cleaners. in the 21st century, the hello their life much international is world news age to moscow will welcome to i will do that midnight with me. kevin. so 1st one year off the capitol hill rights. the u. s. department of justice is established a new domestic terrorism unit to come, but threats that they claim of doubles. in the past 2 years, i decided to establish a domestic terrorism unit. to augment our existing approach, this group dedicated attorney will focus on the domestic terrorism threat, hoping to ensure that these cases are handled properly, effectively coordinated across the department of justice and across the country. across this new york city. so kayla big threats equal big measures here.

sure that was testimony we heard from mark olson, who is a deputy attorney general with the national security division of the us department of justice announcing the formation of this new entity that will deal with the issue of domestic terrorism. now this comes as part of the senate judiciary committee hearings about january 6th, that was the capital riot. and after that happened january 6, 2021. in the aftermath of that, we saw a number of republican representatives saying that the responsibility came squarely from trump, that trump quote, there's responsibility for when wednesdays attack on congress. and in the aftermath of that we see an investigation. now in the testimony we heard today, we heard department of justice officials talking about how white supremacists, anti government activists, and others are the primary domestic terrorism threat. and in some of their language, they even compare them to his lama stream it. here's what we heard from my perspective of spending

a lot of time focused on the radicalization of international terrorists and islamic extremists and extremes 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 described all of this as a which chance setting the stage were clamped down on descent in the united states serving a political agenda that will only further divide the country and increase division and polarization and u. s. society. here's some of the republican reactions. 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 have also raised concerns about why this single riot that happened on capitol hill is getting far more attention than the year of rioting that preceded it. and the protests around the country, almost every major city had rioting, property, destruction going on in the lead up to the 2020 election in the aftermath of the killing of george floyd. and such, there's a, there's a feeling that democrats are using january 6th to serve political ends and that these ongoing hearings and investigations and potentially this new unit being formed to investigate domestic terrorism, serves a political and for the democratic party. but we did hear this announcement of the department of justice has said that this formation of this new unit is taking place . so that's what we've heard from testimony and capitol hill, about the u. s. department of justice and their ongoing efforts against domestic terrorism. me culture kind of thinks that big announcement who took

a big announcements probably won't be any tomorrow, but you never know because they're a big talk for the grand work laid out. so monday between russia and the u. s. security folks in geneva all is now than to brussels later today, we're negotiations with ne, to argue to start wednesday. so far, the u. s. has promised a written response to moscow security demands. they include no further east with expansion of nato or missiles positions near russian territory with more of what's been said so far than going into these big talks he shot to do been ski. well, the talks may have been described as being business like an frying. when the russian us delegation mated 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 and likelihood. no one should be surprised . i should say, if russia spreads this information 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. 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, 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 late to 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 has 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

in plod 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 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. yet more party pressure for the british prime minister boris johnson's report. but once again, it's social. as well as political, a leaked email is reveal another lockdown gathering, involving the leader and his wife exclaimed, a 100 downing street staff were invited for a boozy. get together at the height of the cove locked down there in 2020 hi all.

after what has been an incredibly busy period, it would be nice to make the most of the 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 doing 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 cause for 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 course,

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 the utterly outrageous that the most powerful people in the tory government were boosting up at number 10, downing street proving yet again that it's one roof 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 resign 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 johnson has previously and repeatedly said that all guidelines have been followed. of course, metropolitan police and are 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 at the time here in london on may the 25th, that's 5 days off of this. so pool party 10 days off that wine. and she alleged why rights for children 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 that boris johnson should quit. and almost 4 in time think he is doing a bad job, of course, considering that is now being dozens of party revelations and allegations floating around during the lockdown 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. u. k. radio host john gold told us the saga reflects the sorry state of british politics at the

moment. forrest 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 broke it. 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 is 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. these

20 is the day since the 1st prisoners were taken to the notorious us prison camp at guantanamo bay. and we've been hearing about what they've been through former d t. any wasn't bag, was held there for 3 years without ever being charged of any crime. unfortunately, on this anniversary 20 years, there are people i spoke to young boys. one no longer young, that 1819 years old. never met at all because they probably be help that child or travel channel list a. so me and i saw 2 people. i saw one prison with his hands on his head to the top of the cage being repeatedly punched and keep him children, numerical accepted that this was a homicide. i also was subject to the sounds of a woman screaming in the next 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 the syria. if i didn't cooperate so that all sorts of shocking

things that were taking place. and i say i was only that's a 3. is there a few people been up to literally 20 years without charge trop, near pulled by human rights watch details. the tragic extend to the systematic abuse that the prison camp in recess is the torture and illegal detention of hundreds of muslims at guantanamo, and calls upon president joe biden, to repair the damage done. and finally, close that detention center is a brief history of that infamous facility. ah.

we also spoke with 2 more full guantanamo bay detainees. and like many others, both of them would never charge for the 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 one can tell them like now was in the news be 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 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 points. 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. i'm using 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 going to me, it's existence is a torture. injustice as it is now, it's 20 years. and it will turn to be a political game or a, you know, what? because what want to keep it open because that gives you some kind of publicity or something more books? sadly, what is the humanity? and they know what else is wrong? they don't want to shouldn't exist in the 1st place. human rights. so a clive staff had smith represent some of those inmates who been held at the facility and says the process of obtaining justice for the prison is due is really 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 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 nodded.

disturbing lima for american next aid broke the world record for daily registered cove infections. monday, with more than 1300000 cases. according to reports, the de also saw the highest number of hospitalizations with many medical facilities overwhelmed and facing severe stuffing shortages health authorities of even now the allowed metrics infected with covey to stay on at work. if they have mild symptoms, wow, they'll have to wear extra protective mouse and should be assigned to only treat coded patients. they say it's still not clear, quite clear how that will be put into action though. 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. i spoke with david green, the president of the service employees internationally, and he said to allowing the muslim faith to continue working could was in the

crisis a, you know, it's a really scary, dangerous time because you know, our job, our 1st job is to protect the people we serve the patients in these hospitals and by forcing our nurses and health care workers to tap to come in if there cove it pause it, it puts these patients at risk. so we're, we're asking, you know, our local elected officials here and, and our community groups and anybody that will listen to you. we want to reversal this policy. and we, we really believe that it's health and safety crisis if they force our nurses to have to come to work while their cobra expose we, we thought it could be, it can make a really difficult crisis even more difficult. nevertheless, amid the covey chaos in the u. s. president joe biden is continuing to praise his team's policies during the pandemic. today, america is the only leading economy in the world where the economy as a whole,

is stronger than before the pandemic. no wonder one leading economic our assures me analyst describe what we've accomplished in 2021 is a strongest 1st year economic track record of any president in the last 50 years. however, a recent pulse, just at 68 percent of american say the economy is now the biggest concern. well, just 37 percent. think virus is one of the top 5 priorities. the major shifted opinion from a year ago. i stay with coven american retail at walmart as half the paid leave. the work is that test positive for cove. it must isolate you. company policy says they will now get just one week off. we heard from a walmart employee says the move, putting people's lives at risk. i don't want to have to pay sick leave for employees who are going to be at work. they'd rather us come to work sick, spread the virus to other people, get other people sick. have to go on our way even all that. some are afraid, you know, getting a virus. if they get the virus, you know,

what are they going to do? it's are so sick after 5 days. i mean, i feel the same way. i can't coming to work when i'm so far coded, you spread it everywhere. they really don't care, you know, as put 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 months. new policies follow updated recommendations from the us centers for disease control and prevention that allow people to isolate for 5 days now after cope with 19 infection, instead of 10, a will want spokesperson chip tin said that introduce a number of other policies to help employees to in the crisis, including working from home with possible until the end of january, the surgeon covey cases in the u. s. is cause significant labor shortage is a survey of hourly paid work is found that 65 percent of them reported being sick in the last month said they went to work anyway, peter know what again believes it's because people just simply cannot afford to take the time off, if you have something below fever,

you're still might feel sick. you know, i still not feel well, but you still can come to work after 5 days, you don't get paid anymore. you don't pay more pay pay 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 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 step back or is complete negligence on there are they should not have done that. they should have, are, you know, in thinking a rush, but the factors, thing of their profits. and right after wal mart announced it's the policies take. john amazon followed suit and short and paid sickly for its work as to employees will not be entitled to 7 days instead of the previous 10. the guidelines impact all work is regardless of the vaccination status. meantime, similar kind of thing, but bit different across the atlantic in the u. k, it is just announced it's cutting sick pay for certain groups of unvaccinated

workers who have to self isolate and a 26 minutes past midnight. moscow time, that's how it's international world news at midnight with me, kevin, now in from in the team. thank you for watching. a very good morning to ah, with

oh, seemed wrong when old rules just don't hold any world yet to save out. disdain becomes the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. the russia us foxon geneva were highly anticipated, but expectations of a positive outcome were low, very low rest. his chief negotiator says americans under estimate the gravity of the situation, these are ominous words. what will be the cost of this failure?

ah, grand jury deliberated over $2.00 days, making their final decision. they determined that no probable cause exist to file any charge against officer wilson in return to no true bill on each of the 5.

ah

oh, good with a with a with
