the the top stories this, the russian carried back seems exceed demonstrate strong protection against the recently emerged on the tron strain, according to a new italian study. and also produces more anti bodies in the fire. the job posted to come criminal negligence, that rushes foreign ministry describing the work of some western journalist thinking to mislead the public into believing russia wants to invade. crane despite continuous denials from officials in most disturbing declassified video shows the 2nd and for us straightened care was 10 african civilians. 7, the miners, as children walk around on the street in one of the most appalling incidents in the botched, august withdrew from the country and also to come around president abraham. i see speaks in an exclusive interview to ortiz murdered garcia,

discussing trons relations with moscow. and cooperation in the middle of the news. hello. good afternoon. just calling for o'clock in the russian capital you're watching, asking international. now weston june is trying to convince the public that russia wants to invade neighboring ukraine, are committing criminal negligence. that's the view for moscow. where officials have consistently denied the allegations. it's amazing how american journalists speak was all certainty about russia's attack when ukraine and seem to have never heard about nato expansion to the east of the obligations a western countries to the indivisibility of security. it is as if they did not know anything about the provocations of the key ever. geem and washington support will. is this holy simplicity or in permissible neva t. i think it's criminal negligence. will that media hysteria that maria's

a horrible mentioned there has spread across the west like wildfire over the past several months and bite and seems to be just as captivated by this idea of some sort of russian invasion as his friends in the western media are who seemed to be in lock step with nato. at his 2nd major press conference since taking office, he said that vladimir putin is still calculating. he still waiting for his moment to take some sort of military action. and when does he think this invasion will be? well, with all of the, or might of the u. s. intelligence services at biden's disposal. he seems to think that it all hinges on putin having a bad morning. one day. the only thing i'm comfy is that decision is totally soley, completely food decision. nobody else are going to make that decision known osgood impacts he's making that decision. since i suspect it matters

which son is the bid he gets up on the morning as to exactly what he's going to do . although the side though binding did not pull any punches when he was talking about threats against russia, he promised that there would be sanctions, the likes of which vladimir putin has never seen before. he confirmed that $600000000.00 worth of sophisticated military technology has been deployed to ukraine and other nato and nato countries in eastern europe. so, and that was all echoed by a number of republican lawmakers who said that biden should give, put in a bloody nose if he, it takes any action against ukraine. so we've got 2 sides here, both saying that they're looking for a diplomatic solution. but washington just seems to be disregarding all of russia's negotiating points, i say, with a list going on. what's the word from russia while the, these accusations of an eminence, russian invasion of ukraine. they've been going around for months now and time and time again. moscow has said that it's just a fantasy. they've said that, you know,

russia has the right to move its own troops around in its own territory. and that should not be a threat to anyone. we stress once again, russia is not going to attack any why the practice of moving troops on our own soil is a sovereign right. we call for an end to those serious. so is not to pile and tensions around the down this problem. and most importantly, not to push hot heads in key of towards new publications. now to make the whole situation even more tense, intelligent services from the self proclaimed finance people's republic have said that ukraine has actually planning to attack and sabotage key points along the point. the front line, the line of conflict between a key of controlled territory and done boston ukraine. so far there has not been any comment from kia on these developments. but this combined with the west's attempts to stoke hysteria around an alleged russian attack, i mean, they're not doing anything for d d escalation of the conflict there. while the latest developments do comes, the west continues to send weapons to ukraine just recently, the u. s. back nato plans to deploy arms, including anti tank missiles to forces near russia's borders at the biden

administration. additional planning to to ship $200000000.00 worth of missiles, ammunition, and other equipment to ukraine in the coming days. and other countries plan to do the same. the escalation efforts in ukraine bring in more lethal weapons. you therefore stop. if the key of within the 7 lodge military aircraft lives filled with empty tank weapons on board. ukrainian officials don't hold back their excitement. this military assistance will strengthen our forces and increase our defense capabilities. i want to stress that we will only use these weapons for defense

purposes to protect the critical infrastructure and civilians from any actions that may lead to escalation. royal air force bringing peace and stability to europe. the belgrade bombing, where we got reactions from former british ambassadors, craig murray, and also a piece of ford who believe the sabre rattling is politically beneficial for western lead us. this thing deserves course, that isn't going to be a russian invasion. this is a sauce concocted. i said nothing. i'm in the united kingdom, you have a government in deep trouble and very unpopular. you have the same of joe biden. joe biden is up plumbing debts, but popularity, but note as level plums before, accept the donald trump. so a fun distraction. fabre that name, war mongering is always something which politicians turn to and which generally they can, they can rely on their media to, to deflect and take up. so we're seeing this phobic war mongering propaganda.

largely, i think as a distraction from the internal weakness of these key western government, i'm afraid to close at the moment is not thinking about long term consequences. they're thinking today, tomorrow, no further than next week when johnson may hope crisis may be over. in the meanwhile, and his internet who ran to dry up the temperature, which is exactly what was done by announcing today, sending a new record to ukraine. and while political attentions ivy trying to show no signs of blessing, party analyze how the situation could develop from here. you can find that a dorothy don't come okay,

let's bring you some breaking news now. because a study by italian research using collaboration with russia has shown that the sputnik v vaccine is highly effective against the omicron covey strike. sputnik t v shows the promising results. after 2 doses, there is an $8.00 full decrease in the neutralizing activity of sarah against the micron buried, which is significantly less than the decrease for other vaccines after 2 doses. this study together with previous studies gives additional evidence for the need of booster immunization. sputnik live booster after sputnik the vaccination induces robust neutralizing antibody response to our micron variant. ok, well let's find out more and i'm bringing our correspondent danny armstrong. he's following developments on this story a good afternoon, danny. i'm good news and it seems to sputnik fee, but tell us more about this study and what you found. yes, i,

it does seem like good news, andy, this is the independent research from italy. it was funded by the russian direct investment fund that together with the italian institute of micro biology. italy, of course, one of the countries that was hit very hard by the pandemic when it 1st started some, 2 years ago. of course, the on the kron varian. only appeared in november and it has hit other places, especially russia and moscow. hard since it appeared, of course the varian is, has something of 16 mutations. it's been hard to combine against it. but there has been a breakthrough in research to 2 doses of the sputnik vaccine that has been a significant progress. the eightfold decrease in the neutralizing activity. you just had in the research that the sputnik does neutralize against oma con, even as a hyatt neutralization even in the vaccines including pfizer against

the home a chrome very closely on chrome baron is very, very tricky as strand of covey. it of course co, we'd hit paces such as easily very hard, but the research has gone on had been a big a decrease in that neutralization in the sarah that another vaccines of course 5. i mean, we can, does that by just some of the science behind it, those that by the use of the native s like o pros, protein that basically stopping the omicron virus from mutating director general of the d. i f, the russian direct investment from cuba to meet her says that that means russia has one of the most effective vaccines in the world. and of course, when coupled with that sport and claim booster vacuum which provides more defense than it is one of the, the biggest, the, one of the, the most effective vaccines in the world. him, let's have

a listen to what he says about. this really allows us locally to say, this is probably one of the best way seen in the world against forming what the really continue are going to show lots of like student producers like combining their machine with nick like why? cuz the, my traded significant increase in ancient level and use our response against wanting wrong. and we believe that our mission from different exchanges combining together like for me and nations, israel as a way for we believe this partnership or mix and match approach of different scenes . it's also important, given the most recent data, one weekly being an application, and my name is she. now the newsletter research will surely come as welcome news, especially in russia, where in the last few days, more than 38000 new cases of corona,

virus infection have been recorded in the moscow alone more than 11 and a half 1000 cases. and that's record since the beginning of the pandemic. however, moscow deputy met anastasia rock over has said that the situation with hospitalizations in moscow is stable. there is light at the end of the tunnel. of course, this research will come as good news, especially when coupled with the sputnik light and boost, the vaccine at the level of hospitalizations remains stable. health care not being overwhelmed. there is, of course, the, the, the vaccine, the, the 2 doses of the sputnik vaccine that people can go and get, and then the support nikolai was of course, bring those, those figures down and, and provide some, a battle against those writing numbers in moscow and russia ok, and certainly good news there though, the splitting fees pretty effective against the so micron strain. thank you, danny. it is our teaser danny armstrong now, despite the appalling ongoing consequences of the u. s. draw from afghanistan,

including a humanitarian catastrophe. joe biden has insisted he has absolutely nothing to be sorry for. there is no way to get out of afghanistan after 20 years, easily. not possible, no matter when you did it. and i make no apologies when i didn't. while nearly to classify footage does show the seconds before one of the most disturbing moments of august, polite when a us stroke mistakenly killed 10 cobalt civilians, most of them children. you can see children walking around and playing on the street. as the pentagon prepares to strike, i despise, issuing an efficient apology for that attack. the pentagon does maintain, that nobody will be punished for the deadly mistake with defend spokesperson john kirby, claiming that there is not enough evidence of personal accountability. the brother of one of the victims says the operation makes

a mockery of us claims of precision bombing of the key up ashley themselves. so the news came as a shock. we feel betrayed because no one will be prosecuted. they should have kept their word. we held that the people who ordered and carried out this attack would face justice. the americans claimed that they can spot a needle on the ground from their satellites. so how could they not see the innocent family they were about to kill? they found no connection between us and his nomic states. so why didn't they do those checks before launching obama to us? it looks like no other country is forcing them seek justice. there is no one to challenge them because their superpower, that's why the americans have failed to keep their promises. well, for more on the consequences of the us for on terry to go to r t don't come because that you can find and comment on our special project unheard for. we says where we speak to that he's on the ground hits by america's war in afghanistan, watching our say, we're back more stories just after. ah,

there are media are important to us. intelligence warns of a rush and false flag operation to provoke an invasion of ukraine to those of us who are skeptical this sure sounds like still another weapons of mass destruction. conspiracy theory. also, how bad things get when you strip out the fake aspects to the c p i. number the actual inflation number is exactly what we said. months ago, it's 15 percent. people's purchasing power is degrading. 15 percent wages might be up 3 or 4 percent, but in places are now 15 percent on net. net people are losing really losing out. and it's a problem that is intractable because the central bank has a problem that they can rectify. they can, if they were going to raise rates, they seem to rectify this problem. they would have done so already. the reason

they're not doing so i was because they are simply can't raise right. there is a cure for this. this is now at the beginning of a hyper inflationary collapse of the money. ah, hello again. now in an exclusive entity with arte, iran's president has said he wants a group of nations free of us control. the comments come and made height intentions with washington over nuclear talks with turan. so let's find out then exactly what was said with our senior correspondent, more against the earth. he spoke to him not long ago, but i had just run through them. the key points that were raised. well, this interview was the iranian president's 1st such interview to, to foreign presser. we were fortunate that went on for a while, the better part of a now, and those are a lot covered. obviously, one of the 1st things we talked about is relations with russia, between

a rod and russia, the strategic corporation deal. that is, that is still being inc, between the 2 countries that goes way into the future. 20 years into the future, envisioning all sorts of corporation between iran and russian. i asked the iranian president, why, why russia, he says that the 2 countries have a lot that they agree on. there is a lot that they can mutually benefit on and that ultimately they are both countries that want to be free. the new one and one solitary where kids are main principal is that we do not want to accept domination over other countries and do not want to be oppressed. we want to be an independent country, just like russia wants to be on it. is these countries that want to be independent, but being attacked by their rival. so the americans don't want independent countries. we oppose american domination. the gist of what she said is that the united states and its allies seek again many that they want to crush reading nation

that wants to charge that its own course in infancy. and that is what we have seen with syria, with libya, with, with other nations you. i also asked him about cyber crime about the constant accusations against iran, of conducting cyber attacks against other nations, cyber espionage, to which the radiant president replied, well look at what is happening in iran. we are regularly targeted with some of the biggest cyber cyber crime operations. the will, has seen where all our petrol stations are nuclear, nuclear power objects, a targeted by foreign cyber attacks, which draw no condemnation from the international community. he also, he also spoke about his ties, the countries ties to china for example. and i also asked them about recent video resident video, where the iranians, where the iranian military was seen conducting a mock mock attack against donald trump. this is all tied into the murder,

the killing of cassim sell a money. and iranian commander who went to great lengths to combat isis in the middle east in for how much i live in the classroom. silly mani and his associates were heroes in the fight against terrorism in iraq and they were killed. someone wants the crescent to be seen as being oppressed and the oppressed to be seen as being the oppressor. people understand that they know who is committing oppression in the world who and what the radians had to say is that there must be responsibility. this is a matter of principle for them that an international investigation must be launch on. donald trump must answer for that killing in court. as i say, there was much more covered during this interview, and the full version will be brought to you very soon. yep. and view will be able to see that see with auto dot com. okay. thank you, right, that was auto murat,

gas p f. now it has been a year since joe biden took off his americans president, but despite numerous problems and sagging approval ratings, he has remained relatively up beats and claims to with the midterm elections coming up. he's actually doing better than expected. i don't leave the pulse. i didn't know or promise in, but i have probably out perform when anybody felt what happened. however, most americans don't seem to share biden's optimism about his management of the country. a recent poll does show that most folks just think the president has taken the us time, the wrong path, richard becker, of the anti war organisation. the answer coalition says that instead of tacking problems, head on by the homes, ineffective meetings and fails to come up with solutions. we're trying to today to prove somehow to people that he's succeeded. and in fact, was the 1st year of his ministration has been,

has been crisis after crisis. and those crisis not been south instead of reaching out to the public. and i tried to invoke popular support for the legislation, instead just repeatedly carried out these meetings, but led to nowhere. looking back at biden's 1st year in office, his artes catabolic madams. he serves as presented. joe biden was quite an honor to celebrate his 1st year in office. he and his vice president had been immortalized in wax. ah, pamela harris is the 1st vice president to go in with some joking that she was added simply because joe biden can't cope on his own. now they're hollywood smiles are recreated almost to realistically for some put them in the white house. it

would have the same results or probably better, can we put them in the oval, they're about as useful as the real things outstanding job of capturing the likeness of both prison biden and vice prison harris. historic because it's the 1st set of wax figures with the same amount of charismatic and mental capacity as the real versions. so how did we get to this point? well, when joe biden 1st took off his mainstream media, talked about it like it was a fairy tale he was sweeping in to rescue us from the nightmare of donald trump. he was going to re unify the country president elect joe biden, and vice president harris, cold the grief and regret out of the privacy of our hearts, if just for a moment so that we all could share it. he's going today to, with the stroke of a pen start to take real action on the challenges that are facing our country. and that's gonna be one of the 1st things he does when he walks into the oval office 12 months later, and mainstream u. s. media is now reporting on a very different atmosphere. the president will arrive in this room at

a moment of national exhaustion and drain morale, as the crone of ours pandemic heads into a 3rd year. amid a sense, the events at home and abroad a cascading out of control, and the vicious ideological divides could to america apart. and they're always holding joe biden speak to the fire, asking him tough westerns about important issues. or maybe not. i'm not going to be more christian, excuse me, a voice for july, except now you're living there and you're president. it's been 4 weeks. what's it like you guys are bad? i'm not supposed be answering all these questions was to leave americans. patients is running out the price of gasoline and food is rising. so as crime cove, it is raging out of control. the usa is the longest war ended in a chaotic disaster is pull out that made america the laughing stock of the world. the mean for dissing sleepy joe is let's go brandon, with some wondering if biden even gets the joke. yeah, i hope you guys have

a wonderful christmas as well. let's go brand joe brand and i heard or maybe he does know what it means and then he just forgets every so often. and then he remembers again with with no, no, no way to me. i'm asking you a question. i said, is that accurate? the best you know with, and i want to thank you that from down on you. thank you very much. i

don't present harris my ciocca, a virtual tour vaccination, shannon arizona los angeles, and when my daughter to long beach long reach, thank you. a days you and are going to write yet another chapter in the beautiful story of the french mainstream media is suggesting just a year into his presidency that maybe biden shouldn't run again in 2024. some are suggesting hillary clinton again, or maybe biden could add trumps arch enemy republican lose cheney to the ticket. a lot of biden's voters have turned against him. the 14 point shifted to republicans that just took place around the country, is the biggest on record. it's pretty safe to say that jo biden's 1st year in office hasn't gone so well for him. he's pretty unlikely to get his face added to

mount rushmore anytime soon. that sad, this is america, and he still gets 3 more years. gala mopping our d new york. nice. bring me this afternoon just coming up to help us full a remote schedule to have more stories for you and the headlines in about half an hour time. but don't forget, we've got a website for the stories too. and as usual, you can find that at our table a ah, oh no one else shows seemed wrong. i just don't know. i mean you world, yes to see proud disdain, because the aptitude and engagement equals betrayal. when so

many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground blue. mm . welcome to the alex salmon show for a special program. one year after the storming of the capital 20 years ago, colonel wilkerson was at the epicenter of decision making as chief of staff to the then u. s. secretary of state, the lead general colin powell now a distinguished professor at william in me to college. what is his assessment of his old boss, his contribution to stick craft and also his view on the trends in american

politics. just one year after the assault on the citadel of american democracy, read 1st to your teens, emails and messages in response i show last week on corporate, and whether that is a single vaccine solution on the horizon. well, we have some conflicting views. laura says new science which completely ignores the all science for the purpose of a new agenda. sandy says very informative, late the scientists talk and it makes sense. and finally, eileen says another very interesting, sure. tonight, great experts adding to our understanding of corporate. now the death of colin powell last autumn brought a rear moment of bipartisanship in american politics. with the notable exception of president trump all sides united to pre is a substantial contribution of the former chairman of the joint chiefs and secretary of state to american military and political life. but what was his lasting impact

alex is joined by the man who stood at the side of general powell throat, his term of office, colonel lawrence wilkerson hello love this welcome. what a great pleasure to have you. once again on the, on the alex simon show. good to be with you. welcome. and since we last spoke, of course, your boss, someone who you stood beside in these terms of office, general colon power died. what perspective do you think and contribution lasting contribution? well, the has life and times make to american and, and world affairs. i think they're too obvious, obvious to me anyway. contributions of power made in the 1st one is the one i would write the highest. oddly enough, perhaps, is contribution to the forward movement of african americans and america and in the world. as far as that goes, he was

a man who rose to the pinnacle of military power and just short of the pinnacle of civilian power and the largest most powerful empire in the world. and he could have been the man who rose to that very pinnacle in 1995. both parties were recruiting him. both parties had set up an apparatus than at an office in every state in the union. and most wanted him as they wanted eyes. now, for example, post war to any decided not the wrong time. and the 2nd is the fact that he was a great american and always will be remembered by historians, is a great american. that blemishes he called on his career and the presentation of the united nations which represented the ultimate blemishes support for a war. that truly was a sad.
