for a ah, internet t crucial security to begin in geneva between russia and the americans talk diplomats made escalating attention from the crime also to care moscow speaks out against americans, the parent defamation of artsy and fairly new to agency. sputnik that after washington accused them of spreading this information and a report claims former pope benedict the 16th failed to take action if allegations of sexual abuse among the clergy in germany. and also to come this, our lesson is not learned as another high rise has been built in london with the same design folks as the notorious grenville tower renewing phase about the devastating blaze that killed more than 70 people. we speak to

a man who lost his family in the tragedy. it's like there's a will tell the law office before lives in this call and help with . good afternoon just go now 2 o'clock here in russian capital, you're watching out international. now the top diplomats of russia and the us have begun the crew show secure. she talks is tensions over ukraine, remain high. sec, elaborate, and antony blinkin shared their expectations before their meeting in geneva. we actually should, i shouldn't. we spent a lot of time yesterday reading a large amount of material prepared by the us department about what it describes as rush in this information. i read all of it with great interest, but i hope that everyone in the us state department was busy with this material. and i was actually working on considering our proposals. we are all of us equally

committed to the path of diplomacy in dialogue to try to resolve our differences. but we're also committed is that proves impossible. and russia decides to pursue aggression against ukraine to a united, swift and severe response patrol of takes a closer look. now 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, sir. 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 within 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 macaroni 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. rude 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 awaiting responses, as we have been promised to these proposals in order to continue negotiations of the senior. 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 for this 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 law proven 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. 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 our tea in geneva. well, we spoke to the head of the russian delegation for military security and arms control based in vienna. and he thinks that today's meeting will help ease tensions

. emitting minister rotten 2nd sibling can, will help to make progress in these negotiations and giving us to the ukraine. and it provokes conflict on the border border. we lived on boss in that public system every day and just on our like can make all inside of the small groups according to our international obligations. busy in rate, ukraine, we don't need these now, didn't really make any problem again to, to, to, to have negotiations positions before negotiations. i think they accusing blaming graphic never to think what can happen or

what surrounding the negotiations has been straightened to with the united states establishment, trying to spin its narratives against russia. with baseless accusations, by denying objective facts, these facts, according to russia's ambassador to the united states, washington continues to inflate a bubble based on unfounded allegations and still denies the facts about what is happening in ukraine calling these facts, myths of russia propaganda. what's truly surprising is a scale of verbal interventions from our american partners ahead of talks in geneva . it seems to us as preparing the ground to switch the discussion from security guarantees in europe to the notorious russian aggression against ukraine. meanwhile, u. s. department of state that line, what it sides as examples of russian disinformation and report that presents its opinions as solid facts and the cases russia trying to shape the public's views surrounding ukraine. 6 in russia's deployment of combat forces is a mere reposition of troops on his own territory. fact deploying more than

a $100000.00 russian troops, including battle hardened corporate forces and offensive 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 has a clear, a renewed russia threats to ukraine, sovereignty and territorial integrity. there are passages full of inhuman force hid hands, stupidity, for example. they call fake moscow statement that the repositioning of russian troops and russian territory means repositioning of russian troops on russian territory. brilliant. what is there more of 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. but we spoke with european political analyst and economist ikea hammer, who says us government's interests to diverge from those to the general public, especially in europe. if you, if you overly, say what you want as, as washington,

people say no, no, no, we are not on the boat. we don't, we don't join you. we don't help you supporting the big interest on black rock in the military, industrial complex to support you. we are not, we are not in for the specially, not in the case of a war. we are not supporting this germany and europe once p. and the business interest of these few groups who seem to be ruthless in this case is not in the interest offered people. so you have to spin, you have to do pay news and you have to close the proper ground up front. and that's why all the media who are independent are a danger for them because they come up with, as you said, these arguments, whether people find out pretty quickly. know what the media tell us, what the mainstream media tells us is fate. what the independent media tells us this makes much more sense. what even r t has become

a target of those accusations from washington with the us state department alleging that the channel and fellow news aren't. let sputnik keys this information to advance russia's foreign policy with more on this story. his more gas deaf mother there, the latest allegations washington periodically comes out with with new reports, with new investigations into r. t a nab. almost always regurgitated things that they've said before. i least this time we with the we didn't have a senate hearing with, with serious men and stars and stripes discussing an r t video about a statue receive in too many views that has happened before ls this time. the gist of it is that washington has come out and said that, look, media that is independent and free and generally aligned values, the interests of washington. at these, when they report on something it is, it is news, it is unbiased, it is a, it is balanced when

r t reports on the same thing, it is propaganda. and this information, this, this is the gist of what they have said. they have listed the all sorts of examples where they believe that r t has a twisted and twisted facts or twisted news or narrative. for example, we, we had an incident where they talked about ortiz critical coverage of the european union's response. initial response to the pandemic, which is hero, completely justified you had the president of the european commission come out herself also on the line and apologized issue heartfelt apology to $700000000.00 european citizens who were left disappointed. with that, with the european union's response and reporting on this somehow in the eyes of washington or the state department is propaganda. and this information there was also an interesting bit where they compared our t and student to to be b, c,

and voice of america. voice of america, which until up until 2013, was forbidden from broadcasting in the united states. because there was an understanding that it is propaganda intended for foreign consumption. because it is other healthy for americans. up until 202000, sorry, and 30 of all manner of insiders and former employees of was america come out and say over the years that yes, it is essentially funded by congress an arm of congress. nevertheless, this is opposed to charge for them. a journalist, there's also a very interesting bit about weekend leeks when colleagues, by the way, which has never published alive, which is statistically more accurate and more dependable than that, almost any media out as in the world be at cnn, bbc or we have an r t at statistically, they have never published a life so, so here the problem,

the question that has this is they allege, and this is a live they alleged that are te, published a wiki leaks, expose a information about a new data before we delete it, which is a lie that's been debunked for years. what happened is we can, it's published approve of a new information and they forgot to they forgot to on twitter to announce it r t announced that because they saw it on their side and and for years washington has started this put the r t published weekly information before we can extend, which is an outright lie so you can understand the general level of fact checking in. in this report, there was also a bit about turkey saying that russian coverage, russian media, cat coverage of turkey before a short shot down a russian jet, was neutral after it's or shot down a russian death. it was negative. i. well was that surprising?

imagine mexico shooting down an american jet. what would american media say or say someone else shooting down a british jet? can you imagine the headlines of, on the daily mail, for example. nevertheless, this is, this is the latest dump from the americans for their latest investigation and to our t and, and boot nick. but it is much the same as it has been in, in past years. now a new report claims that former pope benedict, the 16th failed to take action and 4 cases of alleged sexual abuse and relates to the time he was serving as archbishop of the german cities of munich and fries. in the study by a german law firm looked into cases of abuse between 945 and 2019. and how church officials handled them. according to the report, over 2 thirds of people investigated, turned out to be priest. now the report also said that the former pope supported this latest inquiry but denied any wrong doing. we spoke with wilfred fisherman. he

says that he was a victim of sex abuse by the clergy during that period. and he told us what he's been 3 someone. it happened in the summer of $979.00. i was 11 years old back then pastor act served as st. andrews church. and when he left us 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. i could not work, i had dizziness, 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. i told him the whole story and he said i had been through a really traumatic experience that triggered memories of all the abuse i had experienced. when i saw the pastor munich, he was standing among other pastors smiling. i told myself, listen, paraphilias disease. so he'll most likely keep going. he did. now of course it's

not the 1st time that senior catholic could you men have been under fire over alleged sexual abuse. numerous other cases have been reported in other german cities, ireland and france. milford fissile. mon again says that after his letter, pope benedict did change punishment guidelines for clergy guilty of sex offences, but says it's taken too long to happen. now i'm see what slides holes in 2006 in 2008. i sent an automated emails to the munich diocese. i wrote about my experiences with pastor acts when he was innocent. they ignored my letter in 2006. so i tried again in 2008 when abuse victims were demanding compensation for the 1st time. they then describe my letter as criminal blackmail, but it's clear that i hadn't been black mailing the church. those officials who came to me released i was a victim right away. they also realized they themselves had been used by the church . they were simply fooled by it. 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 pope benedict. 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 2530 years for victim to open up and start talking about it. still had the you a man at the center of the conspiracy theory back. suppose it f b i involvement in last case capitol hill. riot is set to be questioned by the congressional committee investigating the incident. we'll have the details just stuff. ah. ah ah, ah ah

ah. ah . join me every thursday on the alex sarlin. sure. i'll be speaking to. yes. all the world politics, sport, business. i'm sure business, i'll see you then. ah ah, welcome back with our t 94 and

a half years after london steadily. grenville fire tragedy, there were no fears that repeat that made plans to build a new high rise in the area with yet again, only one set of fire escape stairs for its residence. artie shoddy edwards dashti has the details in the shadows of the grunfeld tower. the tragedy that came the lives of 7 to 2 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 of the grant funds have 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 staircase is all very difficult to use for fire fighting on the skype the same time. the whole situation is that the year, every becomes very crowded. you had to have

a skype roots on the exterior building because namely could be naturally eventually checked. the proposed high rise is designed to accommodate hundreds of households and would adopt similar policy. neville to carry 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 for once the case of staples is also destroying to include sleep. why haven't they still learnt or from the previous nor do we want to go straight into planning and making them learn from our mistakes? we shouldn't do them. the government is currently reviewing the provision of escape routes and building regulations. while the local council insists residents, safety comes fast. the safety of our residence is our number one priority. we took her to fly with developers to ensure that anything they build is fully compliant with all safety and other regulations as a minimum. and the 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 tiles blocks in the u. k. and unlike to do so, before 2025, the survivors and the bereaved erecting another high rise building while lessons haven't been learned, is unforgivable. we still haven't finished with the inquiry social the 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 mean this can't 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 and awaiting justice. shortly edward's dusty archie, london,

in unease report sight of northern syria, say a car bomb attack by islamic state outside a prison as alive, dozens of inmates to escape with more. i'm what happened. his local correspondent mohammed daddy, the incident happened day when a huge blast was heard around the live, where on prison, which is also known as a lesson oper than a governor, a hearing 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 democratic care forces. also the reports or they're coming out of that area to just that project from the u. s. coalition carried out

stories over the area over there, and also choppers were engaged and open gunfire around and in the facility of the prison. according to curtis media outlets about 20 dashed prisoners were able to escape. and according to the coordination and military operation center of the democrats forces, they said that currently engaged in operation to retake control entirely of the prison. and also search operation are currently underway. and the neighborhoods around wait on and then has like in order to attract those who escaped an american man at the center of a conspiracy theory about supposed to f b i involvement. and last is capitol hill, right? is set to be questioned by a congressional committee. right. apps was caught on camera before and on the day of the protest inside the people to quote go into the capital and was put on the f

. b i most wanted list. however, his name was then dropped from that list, sparking conspiracy theories that he was working with the f. b. i. a claim though, has repeatedly denied. meanwhile, the federal agency has remained tight lipped on the matter under intense quiet staining it briefly acknowledged the man, but declined to comment further. who is re ups? i'm aware of the individual, sir. i don't have a specific background to 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 strange that the crowd began chanting bed bed bed bed bed bed. miss sanborn was re ups a fed. sir, i cannot answer that question. what we spoke to bruce marx, he was at republican member of the pennsylvania state senate and he thinks it is

too early to dismiss the fed man conspiracy. if 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, so he could have been an f, b, i informant. 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 mister epps was acting on behalf of the government or, or that it wasn't. meanwhile, the c,

i shed light on a mystery, illness affecting some diplomats so cold have vanished in dr. ms. first reported by stuff at the u. s. embassy in cuba, back in 2016, and then another facilities around the world. however, to see i, his nie rule dance. involvement by foreign act is such as russia, in the majority of cases 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 lading noises. majority of cases turn out to lead

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 and brings you up to date. they are not international this afternoon. a reminder of our top story rush is foreign minister is meeting with his american counterpart in geneva at the moment type attentions in your in ukraine would be back. i with the latest on that, plus today's top stories take in about half an ah welcome to max kaiser's financial survival guide. looking forward to your event, we go yeah, this is what happens dimensions in britain del,

at this app of you watch kaiser report so called enhanced interrogation techniques used by the u. s. officials were basically designed as techniques to break down the human mind. if you force a human being to stay in a certain position doesn't take very long to the pain involved to become absolutely excruciating, but nobody's lane finger on you. you are doing it to yourself. we started adopting those techniques when i was stationed in mosul, among them wordpress positions sleep deprivation. a hypothermia is already beginning to be evidence that these old techniques are now being used on immigrant children. whatever you do or more comes home. nobody has been held

accountable for the torture that happened in the past. the moral authority, the made america awarded or sacrifice for the shimmer of effective interrogation. yes, yes. i do. unique name, least in fact, where you at least the typical there is only 9, but already 8 university students. that away means rational thinking about, hey, becca, don't like his teams a new month appointment. let's see. yep. you got the glass doors to deal with the video and then mobile choice able to call them. but yeah, but that it's a little boom. losing could i think with young children that he make them go to college. he reads shows control such programs. now, bush night nebraska porcelain. well, you're special, but i will the, yeah, my, but i did say with the plan that was to get push in was in your mind,
