in front of an oncoming subway. train in new york city time square station. i. why, when that rise and hate crime is yet another crisis, officials are trying to battle amid the corona virus pandemic. all recovery is dependent on the public safety in this city. and in the subway system. we can do that with the right balance, a balance of safety and a balance of pro actively given people the assistance they need when they move to health crisis. but as long foresman officials try to combat the surgeon crime amid the corona virus pandemic, manhattan district attorney alvin gregg is seen mass resignations from his prosecutors over his soft on crime policies. according to an internal memo obtained by the new york post brag, ordered his prosecutors to stop seeking prison sentences for hordes of criminals, and to downgrade felony charges in case including armed robberies and drug dealing

. at least a dozen lawyers have quit within 2 weeks of his term. under brag, soft on crime approach. robberies are directed to be persecuted as petty larceny. if no victim was wounded and there is no risk of physical harm while prostitution, turnstile jumping weapons and marijuana possession won't be prosecuted at all. i reached out to the attorney general's office for reaction to the growing criticism surrounding his new approach and have not yet heard back in new york trinity sharp as r t. for more on the story we bring in manila chan, host of r t americas in question, and steve miles burg host of r t c at the present. thanks so much for coming on the show today. got it. thanks the gotcha. so manella, let's start with you. what we saw in trinity story was absolutely heartbreaking. do you think the actions stem from what so many are calling asian hate? or is it just hate for other people in general? well, you know, i think the tosh that, that while this incident at the new york city subway platform,

i think this one was more of a case of a mental health issue. and i think that is the stark problem that we're seeing. and a lot of these big cities across the us that do happen to be democrat lead. i think a lot of resources are not being placed where they need to go in places like this, where you just saw that man who was allegedly a homeless person with mental health issues shouting at the press. i don't believe that particular case was a, a case of asian hate, although yes, there is an unprecedented numbers of asian hate crimes going through the roof all over these big cities. this one in particular though, i wouldn't say was an example of that, but is a stark example of a lot of democrat cities not putting enough money and funding into the homeless crisis and the mental health issue that's happening across this country. yeah, both are are so extremely unfortunate. and now over the weekend there was a for in hosted situation at the synagogue,

so for hostages or imported safe and their captors dead after a long stand off that began during services at congregation, beth israel and collinsville, texas. let's take a listen to what is really prime minister and president biden had to say. this isn't as a stark reminder that the dark forces of anti semitism still exist. we must, and we will fight it. this was an active chair. i prefer not only was related to someone who had been arrested, i might at 15 years, you know, i've been in jail for 10 years. so steve, what is your take on the situation summer saying that the shooter was reportedly muslim. do you think this was an attack on jewish beliefs or something deeper? no, from what we've heard in while he was, he was trying. okay. first the f. b, i came out after the attacker was killed in the hostages were released and said

that he was not targeting the jewish community. this was not an anti semitic event, and were looking for a motive, all of which was absolute nonsense and a disgrace. today they said it is an anti semitic event. the jewish community was targeted. now we knew from the beginning, according to all reports, he wanted this woman known as lady al qaeda, released from prison, a prison, just miles from where he went into the synagogue. that was his goal, but he chose a synagogue. he also according to one of the congregants who followed the services online, heard him say terrible things about israel, jews, and then pro palestinian rhetoric, et cetera. so how they ever could have said it was an anti semitic in the 1st place, the f b i standing there and saying that is beyond me, except the guy was wearing a mag ahead. if the guy was wearing a mag that you'd be hearing about this story,

page one lead story all day, all week. now it's an after thought here and see you're in new york. what's the reaction there like about the district attorney alvin brag? and his new policy to not think prison sentences for felonies and misdemeanors. it's outrageous. nobody feels safe. they didn't feel safe before this clown came in and now they really don't feel safe. i mean, i said the mayor came in and one because he said he would turn around what bill diblasio was not doing and re institute the undercover anti crime unit, police officers, et cetera. and now you've got this guy saying go. 6 ahead do it, basically, we're not going to prosecute these people for most crimes. i don't know how we won . he won because nobody really votes, and this is a trend we're seeing all over the country. these kind of prosecutors who want to let criminals wrong free and all the da's are leaving in his office. that's what he wants. so he could go get people from the legal aid society and put them in place.

and you'll have an office full of people thinking like him. it's a disaster. the ok, you're welcome back to our international russia top diplomat as just be meeting with his german counterpart in moscow. they are right now starting a press conference. let's cross live and listen to what russian foreign minister circle of ralph on this kind of part, still meeting in person and legacy, and hopefully we will construct if relation lead me as a result of this message. we have talked about you by just giving you the mattress of the bilateral agenda. rush is interested in having friendly of neighborly relations with germany based on the principle of liquids, respect and taking into consideration interest. both parties. we have reaffirmed our willingness to cooperate with nearly foreign governments of germany to overcome the problems that have a master throughout the number of problems,

everyone can rely on the minds on these rules will pass. we are not going to say in europe in the home, if you are not going to have joint true and all universal rules, everyone can rely on to when they make economical exchange, when they make a whole exchange is friendly relations or family relations from reagan or ment was having other kind of change within the country. so for the rules you will be upon demand for our common european german foundation of our existence. so we have no other alternative all about and who are tact, some tie our rules, common rules, cities versus ruin. you will have, will have to pay high economical price your human rights invention as part of that to be deployed framework, the legal frame, all the countries read on to i'm implement the decisions of the human rights or

docs and the case of no bombing should dimensions like the case of memorial as well, un charter is also one of such documents, stop vinyl health and gap and minds. i'm terrorist charter, nanda, nick, we're all our data. as human legation not to charge you for bias. and pursuits need rates and weeks more than 100000 crushing troops and military equipment were amass next to the ukranian borders without any visible. the reason i'm to do so, and it's hard not to see it as press to see it as anything else from the moment i assumed office. the majority of the negotiations by thom has chief and don around. not how we can help with russia, how we can deepen our corporation in russia. most of the negotiations started out the status of that. we can do as cheese salmon as you, as need to what kind of steps we can take against the situation that is happening

with the rush, will implement it, threatening into life. it's kind of violence. we didn't choose this line, was that, but we are not going to go away from this situation to hide from his situation. russia demanded curity guarantees and gigs. i'd we, i'm emphasize it once again. we are way to turn on the dialogue about them. you chill steps about the agreement to strengthen our european security will strengthen the security of people in reagan book, harassed and berlin in petersburg. the i'm also gonna be gone through this could be a lawyer. we have a way you are talking about seeing how this mutual establishment look like, a samson strength and the bargain. all on that on there are the umbrella i was in and russian natal council, voice. and so to us it was defers in athens. it's so up the word such di like you

out and the fact that at the very 1st meeting, i love that glaze warden calling out for dust, quanto i last a number of years. we managed to resolve all the problems within a number of hours. so it shouldn't surprise any one and 10 comments for christ away anyway. and we think it seemed important to me. i'm the enormity for him and think oceans. that's the rank, comprehensive, and meaningful to move on. cobra is the implementation of the course because that would be another step toward strengthening the security in europe. the security for all of us yesterday. and today, here in moscow, i and i talked about steph, i, we haven't talked to about the co, those made by huge party. and we talk about how we can normal before mom star this roses again, and resumed this prose at all levels. and it is important that regarding normandy for regarding the course of boxes and we,

i'm very happy to hear that might be for everyone to adopt the information this as important as vital. and we are ready to continue working within the normal form. a colleague here, another meeting on the form of a bonus. remind your counterpart for labrono for this meeting on behalf the federal government on the happen of my coming now trips, my fellow german citizens. i have once again dodge also minutes. students who showed mich chime, i respect to the 2 of them now. and so inter being there at the german foreign minister, it feels me via the military for good as we had on you on the back to our feet and nothing can that knock and tie and review your whole shop for sufferings brought upon the muscle of the soviet union today had my kite off negotiate stupid goals, negotiations, but the most important thing is to be humble and to have to remain open to the floor coming together or finding common ground or reconciling because there is no

more important job even as protecting our people from war and from violence, i'm convinced that the best way to achieve this is by a successful negotiation that i'm not against each other, but from a finding the mutual compromise working together. so hopefully these days will leave the gap groundwork for the exchange of beans between our countries, just like it should be couldn't tack and soon done harder n c. thank you very much. i got a question to both you yeah. minister, germany less than 2 or a number of years played a special role in the, you know, in regard to the dialogue with russia yet, the, when no one could talk to russia, germany still was criticized because of that was sent a lot of times. so do you think germany will still lay this special ro, we've been,

you government as well? mister labrems question to you. germany emphasize its willingness to engage in the dialogue and westland and in russia and clinician can answer vita if you haven't. but at the same time, germany emphasizes said, you can even there is an escalation of conflict with the grain, there will be some dire consequences. was the greatest consequences that the government of russia were threatened. consequently, dialect will only be success. even we will see a big table of negotiations, so kill them. that's why for me and we work with all these other all stakeholders of the, i guess, even nation. so from the you're in union, nations, from family to do everything so that you're going on the current bush tuition. we could go back to the table negotiations in yes, i think the minister in the and i want to, i 1st of all i meant to do to help with the sho,

in the recent mom to feed. if i have been really involved with. yes, almost here from been hard to you was my job. i go back to negotiation. that's why yesterday i traveled to kid j. i have come russia and we will continue our money go station in your retail and how we could go back to the normally for me to talk again. i hate against that. i wouldn't really, under the western you said that term when you threaten with russia, what would be the consequences of these? did i get the question right? or if you could repeat the question, once again, again, dodge lent the torrent in anguish question until germany emphasizes old. any girl she ation within all the court that they are willing to engage in a dialogue with russia. at the same time they won't be or consequences if russia birds are asked to leave with ukraine. so the western is about the greatest

possible consequences got to come to germans, government and is threatening russia. we attended your talk about this possible consequences during your negotiations or talking with the foreign ministry to prove, you know, we've talked about what is going on in ukraine, around ukraine and 1st of all about what is going on with if it is this, here's the preschool it's sabotage on monday. why does going on him when he was here? we wonder mining of the minced, according to your, by the authority per year. and we like it's, it's about those things that kind of fun. our mining should stop with them to come in to fix you and everything that has delayed it. and this document romantic, which will be put into practice delaying everything, theories of the new most we, they are in the papers. so there is no way to interpret sick authorities,

just clauses of this document use any author away. so these talk about an escalation that a lot of western politicians talk about. and what they means is usually they talk about audio promoting out of rooms and our hearing was very within our borders. you might attend doing drills that i'm who they come betray will. now be hungry is doing. and we need to come explains that if we can nash what is on the human that should talk about any demands about as doing something with our troops within our report that we've had the same time with the route. and i'm over that tension that when we have this demand sky putting bad grades, troops back to barracks, as in american and the representative at the same time need to representative, they'll say that things are happening mature, to who in, within nato porter is appointment of troops and you can say it's, and you concluding this trip that were brought here from across the ocean. so 8 is

up to need. but we can see double standards in here for the consequences. i'm going to terminate threatening and like you put it, but i can't see why the kind of shoot out the german government will have in when you get one situation or another. but we don't see any cause or no new reason to create any new content like that we didn't use any of your brown. so to say, the only thing that we demand seems we have agreed upon was put into live was implemented the same goes, but usually it goes for the maintenance museum according to that are on remind by the key for james. and the same goes for security architecture in your area. the proposals that we have handed over to the consideration of the united states and, and approached me, which nato, the me, they are the old on the most, all the ground suddenly on the agreements, reached on as you know, with the vomit and, and you 99 and 92010,

and recently these, these agreement clearly, yes, every country can choose a lines for themselves. but in that very sentence, said, average con 3 will should protect interesting. can you repeat that was old. that isn't the student threatening the security of any other country different and we have asked our counterparts just like we as i'm miracle, cal reports really explain, this is how do the group number interpret these clause in practice we spoke probably these conversations you ocean city because that's a very serious issue, very serious matter. the good on the students that show and we look for us candle, delayed regime, external agreement, yarger in particular matter. so we do not threaten anyone, but we hear a lot of rattle about us. can you? you most helpful.
