a very good morning to you. it's the 8th i am here in moscow and you're watching aussie international with me. nicky, aaron, now i top story this. our rushes ambassador to the u. s. has spoken out against what moscow sees as america's relentless disinformation campaign had of crucial security talks between the countries top diplomats on friday. the media as us establishments have sought to portray russia as the aggressor, while nato states including america, weaponized ukraine. washington continues to inflate a bubble based on unfounded allegations and still denies the facts about what is happening in ukraine calling these facts miss of russian propaganda. what's truly surprising is the scale of verbal interventions from americans ahead of talks in geneva. it seems the u. s. is preparing the ground to switch the discussion from security guarantees in europe to the notorious russian aggression against ukraine.

now senior correspondent, mind gassy, and joins minister this morning. good morning. thanks for coming in and tell me about the allegations from washington. and that way, why is washington said, well, washington has gone over the past 24 hours and something of a, of a p r offensive. whether, whether it's a good one is you go up to viewers, to decide. but essentially, what washington, as thou saying, is that almost every single russian security concern is fiction. and everything that the united states says is, is right in true, they've come up with a list of things that russia has said that russia is more most concerned about. and they've attempted to debunk russia's concerns by pointing out that actually everything is the opposite of what russia says, such as that russia is putting the whole world that threat by moving troops inside russia. fiction rushes,

deployment of combat forces is a mere reposition of troops on its own. territory fact deployed more than a $100000.00 russian troops, including battle hardened corporate forces and fs of weaponry with no plausible innocuous explanation to the borders of a country that russia has previously invaded and still occupied in places is no mere troop rotation. it is a clear, renewed russia threats to ukraine, sovereignty in territorial integrity. well, the thing is, we're going to disregard that. russia's military moves came as ukraine sent asher logs and, and their own train loads of military vehicles of tanks, of weapons that have been banned by the men's could grievance to the front lives. there was serious concern that and indications that ukraine was planning to attack, easton, ukraine, the breakaway regions of d, and i, and eleanor, and try to resolve the civil war and ukraine. why village here military means which

russia has said cool, which russia has said that it doesn't want to see happen because of the number of a russian ethnic russians in east the new grade. and it feared what would happen to them if for if you grade, went ahead. guns drawn and tried to resolve this in a military fashion. but ultimately, what the russian say is, russia's concern russia's concern is that the united states is blaming it for moving troops inside russia. russia is concerned that the united states is also moving troops towards russia. this isn't, this isn't an issue of where russia is coming out and saying, oh, we don't like that the united states as station so many troops and in her texas, for example, on the border with mexico, the united states coming out and saying that it's concerned with russian troop movements inside russia. there are passages full of inhuman force, his hand stupidity, for example. they call fake mosque

a statement that the re positioning of russian trips in russian territory means repositioning of russian troops on russian territory. brilliant. what is there more hair lies or illiteracy? i did not even want to deal with it. i know one thing for sure. this could only be published by the ministry of truth. the document is full of obfuscation and misleading statements. for example, it says that this is fiction that the nato isn't surrounding russia as, as moscow has claimed in recent years. well, the, the facts of it is earth said, says russia has 14 neighbors. only 5 of them are nato members. when it used to be one, they used to be one nato member 20 years ago. then it says, now it's 5 and potentially it's going to be 7 half of russia's neighbors with the acceptance of georgia and ukraine into naser, which they refuse to, to rule out how. how could you then argue that nathan isn't surrounding russia?

there was also another point that no one promised russia that nater wouldn't expand these. this is a lie. the state department is coming out and issuing a direct line they, they have it in cables from their own director of the cia back then robert gates, who, who said in a memo that we shouldn't press or ahead with the expansion of nato eastwards. because gorbachev's was led to believe that this wouldn't happen. then we heard from our hans theater denture, who was then the west german foreign minister, who said that no natal shouldn't expand eastwards. he said this in public, we had the same insurances, from bush, from thatcher. this is all in writing that they have the, uh, the archives. and so this, this is the problem. this document is, is full of misleading statements in which the united states tries to pain the world, black and white. and on top of all the esa, it seems our channel has become

a target as well. well, i channel has been a target for a while. they've been even concerned but bye are spanish shadow posting videos, cultural videos, of, of statues and the likes. and they've come out. they had serious men in suits with the, with stripes, garden, arguing the arts even use above statues are getting too many views. so this is certainly a certainly nothing new that they've come out and targeted archie and spoofing. again, especially considering that or when it comes to the press to the media. these are rushes only rush rushes only voices for western audience. so western audiences would have no avenue, no way they hear russia, if it wasn't audience boot mc r. t and sputnik service means for the kremlin to disseminate this information and propaganda narratives to audiences outside of russia to influence public opinion and foreign policy in favor of the kremlin political goals. a prevalent example is

russia's use of artie and sputnik to attempt to change public opinions about ukraine in europe, the u. s. and as far away as latin america. the problem, of course, is that the united states and east that western, sorry, europe of have enjoyed the government media had gemini, for many years. there was no challenge, there was nobody to argue against them. like yesterday we, we, we heard the havana syndrome where the united states for years claim that russia was behind these sorta good tags with mysterious weapons on american spasm and diplomats, and yesterday the c, i quietly came out and said that the way the 2nd does a perfectly reasonable explanation for these headaches and the western media never challenged this does this narrative party did from, from the very beginning. but the, this is, this is the issue. now, the completely opposing world views propaganda views. in which one side simply is

of happy that the other gets voice. marita, thanks for coming in and bring as the update as our t's at my guess. if we got reactions about those statements from j political analysts, pierre emmanuel, to man and daniel mcadams. it's classic us government, they always want to drop a stink bomb in advance of any kind of negotiations. it's just their way of putting up a middle finger, but you know, they're accusing the r t of representing a pro russia view as if the u. s. media in its entirety of u. s. mainstream media represents the pro u. s. government, you not u. s. u s. government view, they have no clue that the vast majority of americans can't stand american foreign policy. and so what is their, what is their, what is their conclusion? well, should we change our policy? no, let's don't let them watch things that challenge their perspective. the challenge is their narratives. united states. so still want off to her before

the end of a code or the one to maintain the statue. so the main or super power on to promote a unit put on wall where they can no decent interest or all of a wall and deny of a countries like russia or china to be your a course is not going to work because a rush on china not going to accept this unit, put our world on promoting more to put our but to united states, trying to resist. and by using proxies i q craner to recon russia. and while tensions are the ukraine, when name high russian foreign minister, 2nd law, roseann us secretary of state and the billing can meet in geneva to discuss most guys, proposals for regional security guarantees. as an voice. i love rob has already arrived for the talks. the key topic is most against him on the nato will start

expanding towards russia. food is the us and european nathan states have repeatedly rejected that proposal as a correspondent pizza. all of it takes a closer look at the international context of this meeting in geneva. the search for a diplomatic solution to the ongoing tensions between russia and nato, comes back to the shores of lake geneva and a heads of his meeting with russian foreign minister. so to gala rove the us secretary of state anthony, blinking has been putting america's message to its partners directly before coming to switzerland. the u. s. foreign policy chief was in for lynn, for full way talks with representatives of germany, france, and the united kingdom. russia is entitled to protect itself. the united states in europe are prepared to discuss russia, security concerns, and how we can address them in a reciprocal way. while the secretary of state looked to protect one voice from the 4 nations that had taken part in the talks, as he gave those remarks alongside the german 4 minister, the french president,

emanuel micron told the european parliament earlier in the week that europe needs to come to its own arrangements with russia, parallel to those of nato and the united states. it's good that europeans and the united states are coordinating, but it's necessary for europeans to conduct their own dialogue. we should build as europeans, working with other europeans and nato, and then propose it for negotiation with russia. before the trip to berlin, lincoln was in kiev with a message of peace and the promise of more weapons for ukraine. we continued to bolster ukraine's ability to defend itself and make clear the costs of the united states and europe will impose on moscow if it rejects the diplomatic craft that we've laid out. and proceeds with an unwarranted unprovoked, unacceptable invasion or destabilization of ukraine. last week talks in geneva, brussels and vienna didn't get things much further along. on tuesday speaking,

a moscow foreign minister said a gale of robe said that russia wasn't interested in just holding meetings for the sake of having meetings. but as it as a bush, unless we expressed concern about nature's policy of containment of the russian federation. and in that regard, we do attention in some detail to the initiatives that the russian side is taken to negotiate, credible, legally binding security guarantees. let me remind you that we have given such guarantees to the u. s. and members of the north atlantic alliance. we are waiting responses as we have been promised to these proposals in order to continue negotiations. it would seem that those responses were given as these talks a going ahead between this meeting being announced. and now there has been a lot of chatter about how nato, driven by the us should tackle russia with sanctions, including the possibility of cutting moscow off from the swift international payment system of from don't to run back in 2014. however,

after much deliberation that particular plan does seem dead in the water. for now, it isn't expected to be a long conversation between foreign minister love rovan, secretary of state blinking around an hour and a half or so. and they aren't going to sort out all of the problems that exist between russia and the west right now. but what they can do, what we really have to hope that they will do is lay the groundwork for a diplomatic way to put right. a relationship that has been delighted by miss trust . peter, all of a r t in geneva concerns in gary law of the head of the russian delegation for military security and arms control based in vienna. have expressed his opinion on what to expect from the meeting. emitting minister, wrote, and 2nd sibling will help to make progress in these negotiations, giving to evans, to the ukraine, and the provokes conflict on the,

on the board of is a bus and that'll be submitted in just on our like can them make all inside of the small groups according to our international obligations don't. busy in rate, ukraine, we don't need these now really making problem again to to, to, to have negotiations positions before negotiations. i think they accusing blaming graphic. nobody think what can happen or a new report claims form a paper benedict, the 16th failed to take action in full cases of alleged sexual abuse or serving as archbishop of the german cities of munich and pricing these 30 by a german law firm look thing that came to the cases of

a piece perpetrated in the period between 945 and 2019. and how church officials handled them. according to the report, over 2 thirds of people investigated in connection with sexual sexually abusive behavior, turned out to be priests. report claims the former pope supported the investigations but denied any wrong doing in connection with the allegations. wilfred festal, men says he was a victim of sex, abuse by the clergy during that period and talks about what he's been through that happened in the summer of 1979. i was 11 years old. back then passed direct served at st. andrew's church and when he left s and groups of people started attacking me . they knew i was one of the reasons he left. we moved to another district of the town and in 1999, i began to be affected by my experiences. it was, i could not work, i had dizziness and i could not drive or simply go out of the house. my whole family was suffering because of that. i started visiting doctors to find out what

the problem was. and finally, i got to see a psychotherapist and i told him the whole story and he said i had been through a really traumatic experience of that tricky memories of all the abuse i had experienced. when i saw the pastor in munich, he was standing among other pastors smiling. i told myself, listen, p to failure is a disease, so he'll most likely keep going. be he did this by fall at the 1st time the senior catholic clergyman have been under fire over a ledge. sexual abuse with numerous cases haven't been reported in other german cities, ireland and france. wilford fest them and says it takes church officials too long to take any measures to address the claims when i am feeble on fine talk in 2006 in 2008. i sent anonymous emails to the munich dices. i wrote about my experiences with pastor x when he was in s, and maybe they ignored my letter in 2006. so i tried again in 2008 when abuse

victims were demanding compensation for the 1st time. and they then described my letter is criminal blackmail, but it was clear that i hadn't been blackmailing the church. those officials who came to me realized i was a victim right away before. they also realized they themselves had been used by the church. they were simply food by it when i was 1st of all concerned about justice. because the pastor just went to another place when i was writing the letter, it was important to me to protect others. in may 2010, i wrote to poke benedict with what i told him my whole story on may 21st. i got a response saying the pope would take care of it and he really did. but as we have seen, it took 25 to 30 years for a victim to open up and start talking about it is kind of 4 and a half years after london. deadly grunfeld by a tragedy phase of a repeats have emerged among the public met plans to build a new high rise in the area with us again,

only one set of fire escape status for its residence. ortiz shawnee edwards. dash the has the details. in the shadows of the grunfeld tower, the tragedy that came the lives of 72 plans are in place to build a new skyscraper twice the heights and just a few meters away. despite the public inquiry concluding the safety policy, all the grand crowds, how a failed, this new building is set to adhere to that failed policy, including the requirement for just a single escape staircase. we would, he knows that single staircase castillo cases, very difficult to use for fire fighting on escape. same time, the whole situation is the year every becomes very crowded. you had to have a skype roots on the exterior building because mainly could be naturally eventually they checked. the proposed high rise is designed to accommodate hundreds of households and would adopt similar policy neville to care last 5 members of his

family on the 14th of june 2017. and that night residents were told to stay pert. i'm very concerned to fight as a wants. the case of staples is also destroying to include the port. why heavenly still learns or from the previous nor do we want to go straight to planning and make it and then learn from our mistakes. we shouldn't do the government is currently reviewing the provision of escape routes and building regulations. while the local council insists residents, safety comes 1st. the safety of our residence as our number one priority. we took a tough line with developers to ensure that anything they build is fully compliant with all safety and other regulations as a minimum and that local people are fully consulted. we are aware of this development and we will be providing a response to the planning consultation. while new homes can no longer be caught in combustible material like that, which calls flames to shoot up the grunfeld tower. the government is still yet to

remove cladding from thousands of tar blocks in the u. k. and unlike to do so, before 2025, the survivors on the bereaved erecting another high rise building while lessons haven't been learned, is unforgivable. we still haven't finished with the inquiry full, so their proposal to be given or even new laws or recommendations or whatever it is . it's like is if we carry non profits before lives, i'm at this point happen. when will they ever learn? still nothing has been learned, they say lightning doesn't strike twice. but is this really the place to build a tower and with questionable safety precautions? as the community is still in morning under waiting justice charter edward's dusty archie london reports out of northern syria, say a terrorist attack by the islamic state crew passed enabled over a dozen prisoners to escape a detention facility. as

a car bomb was detonated just outside. local correspondent mohammed ali reports from syria. the incident happened when a he was last with heard around the live, where on prison, which is also known as a listing for the governor here in syria, which, which turned out to be an attack by a sleeper sofa dice using a car bomb. they tried to attack the prison classes were reported over there between to dash terrorists attacking from the outside. and the guards of the prison affiliated, of course, would be so called through democrats care forces. also the reports over, they're coming out of that area to just that just from the u. s. coalition carried out over the area over there, and also choppers were engaged in open gunfire around in the facility. the prison, according to curtis media outlets about 20 dash prisoners were able to

escape. and according to the coordination and military operation center of the series democrats forces, they said that currently engaged in operation to retake control entirely of the prison. also, search operation are currently underway and the neighborhoods around wait on and then has like in order to attract those who escaped re at a participants of the pro trump rally that descended into chaos on capitol hill on january the 6th last year. is that the questioning with the committee investigating the events, although hundreds have been detained, epps has become a person of particular interest to the public. the allegations he has links to the f b i. he was caught on camera before and on the day all the capitol hill process, inciting people to quote,

go into the capital apps was put on the f. b. i most wanted listing connection with the incident that was late to remove a barrage of conspiracy theories have emerged that the f b i was allegedly involved in inciting. the chaos has adamantly denied having links with the f b. i mean, while the federal agency has been rather quiet about the issue under intense question and get to tersely acknowledge the man, but declined to confer the comment who is re ups? i'm aware of the individual, sir. i don't have the specific background of him on the night of january 5th, 2021 eps wandered around the crowd that had gathered. and there's video out there had channing to borrow. we need to get into the capital in the capital. this was strange behavior so strain that the crowd began chanting, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. the sombre was re, ups are fed, sir, i cannot answer that question,

but there is no evidence that he was inside the building after it was breached by protest. as we spoke to bruce marx, he was a republican member of the pennsylvania state senate. he thinks it's too early to dismiss this fed man, conspiracy. f b, i could have determined that he wasn't involved to do that he did nothing wrong. the 2nd answer is that he did something wrong, but he's cooperating, and therefore they don't need him to be on the list. and then the 3rd answer is of course that he could have been an f, b i, informant. and that whoever put him on the list didn't realize it at the time. and then once they realized that he was an f b i, informant, they removed him from the list right now that, that's just speculation. but it's possible the f b, i has used infiltrators in the past that joined organizations and, and encouraged to illegal activity. and i think it's a matter of concern, and that's why it's really important for the f,

b i and the department of justice to explain to the public whether mr. epps was acting on behalf of the government, or that it wasn't the cia has shed light on a recent conundrum and diplomacy. many reported cases of the mysterious neurological affliction known as havana syndrome, and the latest findings will last involvement by a foreign act as such as russia. in the majority of cases, the health incidents 1st came to light in 2016 reported by u. s embassy personnel in the cuban capital. similar complaints were lazy made by u. s. employees that all the facilities around the world of honest syndrome plotted by russians. apparently not ca, rules out foreign attacks after probing for a year. we assess, it is unlikely that a foreign actor, including russia, is conducting a sustained worldwide campaign, harming us personnel with

a weapon or mechanism. mysterious illnesses have been targeting u. s. officials abroad since 2017, causing hearing unexplained sounds, headache, and nausea. attacks of an invisible enemy, secret microwave weapons, cricket mating noises, majority of cases turn out to be caused by medical, environmental, and technical factors. time to close the case. think again, with 2 dozen unexplained cases. there's still room for conspiracy theories. many thanks for joining us here on our tea international this morning. we'll be back in about 30 minutes with all the latest. ah.

we have michael maloof. he is a former pentagon senior security policy analyst, and here in moscow we have alexi. now, he is an expert at the russia council on international affairs, as well as chief editor, it r t dot com. all right, gentlemen, cross hak rules and effect that music and jumping any time you want. and i always appreciate, let's go to charles 1st in london, and i'm really sick and tired of all the misinformation and propaganda that is being spewed about these growing tensions. there are tensions, there's no doubt about that. okay. but i'm how they're being characterized is really important. for us on this program to set straight. so charles, i asked 3 questions in my introduction. what, what, what is, what is nato up to? what is the gambit here is that they have to continued expanding to be relevant. i mean, what is it american hegemony? because it's picking a needless fight with russia. go ahead. charles.
