of a deflationary spiral, a, a useful meeting with a candid exchange of opinions at a critical moment to stand out the russian and u. s. foreign policy chief described. i talk things geneva, which come on may the rising tensions of ukraine and linked to expansion with it's enough to scroll through a couple of random pages to be sure, none of the provision stand up to any critical analysis. in many cases, it is simply a like a news conference after the talks about all flashes out at u. s. officials and mainstream media pushing fresh on proving claims against moscow. when examined those a little later, this out a report claims for coke benedict,

the 16th, failed to take action on vacations of sexual abuse among the clergy in germany. also this, our lessons learned as another high rise is being built in london with the same design full as the notorious grunfeld tower, reviewing fears about the devastating blame that killed more than 70 people to speak to a man who lost his family in the tragedy. it's like is if we can, you know, profits before lives on this call and half with from oscar. thanks for joining us. and i talked to national daniel who came is where you are this our welcome to the program. now the top diplomat solve russia and the united states have finished their security talks in switzerland as tension 0. ukraine remain high. washington is expected to provide moscow with a written response to look for evidence concerns. next week,

he's read rollover reports from geneva. so wrapped up here in geneva, and we've now got a much clearer picture of exactly how both the us and russian side see these talk. having gone, we heard from set again for off the russian foreign minister who described them as useful and constructive. we heard from anthony blink in the us secretary of state, who said that they were frank and substances. we'll start with the russian foreign minister. so de la for all flo, he was 1st to give his press conference. after the meeting wrapped up, he said that washington had promised to provide an answer in writing to security concerns that had been presented by moscow to the us part. and now he said that these weren't just security concerns focusing on ukraine. they were for the wider european area. he said that the future of these talks would depend on the response from the united states there. but he said that the diplomatic doors pretty much

remained open. it's worth pointing out. there was no major movement on any of the, the big sticking points during the talk. certainly what the, the representative, the foreign minister in the secretary state have to say. there was major tectonic shifts in where the respective countries stand. what we did here though, from the russian foreign minister, is the address questions from the u. s. media with him say that there was no intention from moscow for them to invade ukraine at any time. why is russia doing this now? why do you feel that you need to make these troop deployments now, when really the security posture of the us, the nato really hasn't changed over the past couple of years, much to us to minute. because i think the u. s. department should analyze the methods of sin and in regard to accuracy, you say we're going to attack ukraine despite multiple explanations that we won't. but thing, this will happen. you then ask why now, when do we not attack? it's a strange question because we have caused repeated,

fundamental point that never ending native expansion to east should be stopped. and nibbling, can repeated his position on the right to choose alliances. asked him how the us plans to follow its obligation not to strengthen someone security at the expense of the security of others. he promised to explain the u. s. position on that 3rd. gala for all press conference was followed up with one from us secretary of state, anthony blinkin b us chief diplomat, saying that the diplomatic route remained open to finding a solution to the tensions between russia on the west right now. he said that he received assurances from said de la, for all the router, had no intention of invading ukraine at this moment. he said he'd received those assurances in the past as well, but that if the actions of russia didn't match up to that, then there would be a response from the united states and its allies and not response would be swift, severe, and united. he said that there will be

a response from washington to those concerns that were voiced by moscow, and that response will be coming in the next week. he also said that there's ways and means available to take the heat out of the current situation. transparency, confidence, building measures, military exercises, arms control agreements. these are all things that we've actually done in the past . and that if address seriously can, i believe reduce tensions and address some of the some of the concerns of the us secretary of state also sketched out a potential timeline of where we could be going next. he said that once they've responded to moscow, he would expect that there would be further meetings at the foreign ministerial level, perhaps here in geneva. and if those meetings went well, that there could be another meeting between president putin and president bies and perhaps face to face perhaps here in geneva, repeat of what we saw last year,

which took place in this with city. what we have seen though, is a continuation of willingness to continue the dialogue over these ongoing tensions between russia and the west. formal on the american livingston says u. s. anti russian rhetoric is an attempt to distract from domestic problems. the simple fact you have to ask now, why we got nato extend, naomi, this isn't the cold war. the simple fact is, russia is not about to invade the west, and we shouldn't be wasting so much of our money on all of this. and the simple fact is about half of all the military spending in the world is by the united states of america. so the idea that ross is going to provide some sort of conflict is absolute nonsense. this is being run by the american ministration. because basically that the president has become quite unpopular paul writing down. so rather than having serious debates, the state of the american economy ramping out,

the idea of a stretch from russia. and almost like going back to the cold war, helps to divert attention that the simple fact is, president putin is not going to invade ukraine. all that sort of nonsense is just being run by the american media to distract from the other problems that the biden administration of the talks, the state department has outlined what it science is. examples of rushing this information and report that presents its opinions as far as the facts was published just a couple of hours before the folks, the rushes for minutes that was critical of both the content and its timing it to my you got it. but then these documents, which the us state department has of course prepare deliberately for today's meeting, a simply impossible to read it off the scroll through a couple of random pages to be sure, none of the provisions stand up to any critical analysis. in many cases, it is simply a lie among the devious claims in the report that night or is not encircling russia

with its military bases. it argues that the real problem is that russia is such a big country with more on the story. here is one guys, if well, over the past 24 hours, washington has launch something of a, of a p r offensive, or they, they've come out. and they've said that virtually are all the security concerns that russia has talked and talked about for 10 years. for even longer than a decade, that all of that ease ease fiction, they've come up with, with the least the various things that russia has said that russia feels uncomfortable about who concerned about and explain why those points shouldn't be taken seriously. fiction rushes deployment of combat forces is a mirror position of troops on his own territory. fact deploying more than a $100000.00 russian troops, including battle hardened colbert forces and offensive weaponry. with no plausible innocuous explanation to the borders of accounts that russia has previously invaded

and still occupies in places, is no mere troop rotation. it is a clear, renewed russian threats to ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity. there is, of course, no mention of the fact that the russian troop buildup happen concurrently with ukrainian to build up with the vase convoys of tags of artillery thesis, making their way towards the russian border towards easton ukraine and the conflict lines. the conflict lines there, and the gist of that statement, for example, is that the united states is concerned with the russian troops moving inside russia . whereas rushes concerned with troops from florida, from march, canada being sent half the world away, and stationed near russia as a you can understand where rushes coming from here. but there's a, there's a whole lot more where that came from. there are passages full of inhuman falls hit

and stupidity, for example, they call fake mosque, a statement that the repositioning of russian trips and 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. and similar situation would be russia coming out and hysterically condemning a united states to build up in texas for example. there was, there were many other point such as another one, a fiction, or russian fiction, is that nato is surrounding russia. and here they argue that, that, no, it isn't. russia's a huge country with, with $1414.00 neighbors that a chairs, landlord, the women, and only 5 of those a native states. well, if we look back 20 years, there was only one. then there were 3, then there were 5, and now with the essential potential, ascension of,

of george and ukraine in the future are right about half of russia's, lambert, neighbors would be nato member states. so how can, how can you argue that nato isn't surrounding russia when, when you have the numbers right there, there was also another, another russian fiction that new wouldn't promised russia that nater wouldn't expand eastwards. this is, this is an outright lie. this is an in c, i and state department in european archives that yes they did. it's, it's in writing and a cia archives for example. then director of the cia director robert gates said that gorbachev's had been promised, had been led to believe that nathan wouldn't expand this with you had the james baker, the state department, the head of the state department, secretary of state, back then i 3 times telling gorbachev's that they, they wouldn't move one inch eastwood. you had a vendor of the then west german foreign minister asked either ginger,

saying that nato shouldn't expand eastward, given assurances to russia. then the usaa saw that the in the event of germany re unifying that nato wouldn't movies. you have this in writing, in rising lisa, archived memos, cables. nevertheless, there's this, as i say, much more in that list of russian fictions which a lot of questions about. and the art itself has also become the targets or washington's accusations were the u. s. department alleging that the channel and fellow news outlets footnote use this information to advance the covenants foreign policy. what reaction about those are newly released reports from geopolitical analysts. daniel mcadam says, classic us government, they always want to drop a stink bomb in advance of any condom to go. she ations, it's just their way of putting up a middle finger. us accuses russia of invading countries. and in fact,

is the u. s. invaded countries and there was not a single specific example of where our key got anything wrong. it's just that they don't like the flavor of it. they don't like any alternative voices being out there . they're accusing rti of representing a pro russia view as if the u. s, media as you put it earlier in its entirety of us. mainstream media represents the pro u. s. government, you not us us government view, they have no clue that the vast majority of americans can't stand american foreign policy. and so what is there, what is there? what is there a 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 still, i had to speak to an alleged victim of troy of charge 6 of you some way to pro finding full of pope, but in the 16th failed today action to stop the crimes story unvil off the brake with

for is your media reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safe, isolation, whole community. are you going the right way? where are you being led? direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex, simon,

sure. but i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. 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 lean finger on you. you are doing it to yourself. we started adopting those techniques when i was station 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 leader sacrifice. but the shimmer of effective interrogation ah ah, welcome back. a saudi, let us talk on again when the prisoners will noodle killed more than 100 people. a warning you may find the following footage distressing rescues have cleared through the wreckage in a search for survivors. the incident comes off for drone and miss all attacked by humans, rebel who these earlier this week struck, i will doubly the capital of the united arab emirates, which is part of the saudi coalition. ah,

and you report his claim that for pope benedict the 16th failed to take action in 4 cases of child sexual abuse. while he was serving as archbishop of the german cities of munich and phrasing the study by a german loafer looked into cases of abuse between 9 and 45 and 2019. and how the church officials handled them. according to the report, over 2 thirds of people investigated, turned out to be priests of the reporter also claimed the former pope supported this latest inquiry, but denied any wrong doing. he spoke with wilfrid 5 men who says he was a victim of sex abuse by the clergy during that period. and he told us what he went through the summer and 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 pastor, smiling. i told myself, listen paraphilias disease. so he'll most likely keep going. he did. well, it's not the 1st time i've seen a catholic clergyman have been under the fall under fire over lead sexual abuse, and numerous other cases having been reported in other german cities, island and france. wilford's 1st one again says that 2 of his letter, pope benedict changed punishment guidelines for clergy guilty of sex offences that says it's taken too long to have a when wi fi, why fi talk in 2006 in 2008. i sent an automated emails to the munich diocese. i

wrote about my experiences with pastor x when he was an s, and they ignored my letter in 2006. so i try it again in 2008 when abuse victims were demanded compensation for the 1st time. they then described my letter as criminal blackmail, but it's clear that i hadn't been blackmailing the church. those officials who came to me realized 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 and 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 a victim to open up and start talking about it. for half years after london's deadly grunt hope fire tragedies, she's over repeats have emerged among the public summit plans to build a new high rise in the area which will yet again, only one set of far escape stairs for its residence. he's shoddy. i was asked. he

has that he's half in the shadows of the grunfeld power. the tragedy that came the lives of 72 plans are in place to build a new skyscraper, twice the high and just a few weeks away. despite the public inquiry concluding the safety policy also grunfeld tower failed. this new building is set to head to that failed policy, including the requirement for just a single escape staircase. we would, he knows that single staircase cust cases are difficult to use for fire fighting and escape at same time. the whole situation is that the every become very crowded. you had to have a skype roots on the exterior of the building because mainly could be natural eventually it. the proposed high rise is designed to accommodate hundreds of households and would adopt similar policy. novilla. you can 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 the fact that once they case a staple is also going to include, they put, why haven't they still learned or from the previous, you know, do we want to go straight into planning and make it and then learn from moment stakes. we shouldn't do that. the government is currently reviewing the provision of escape routes and building regulations, while the local council and 5th residents safety comes fast. the safety of our residents is our number one priority. we take it offline with developers to ensure that anything they build is fully compliant with all safety and other regulations of the 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 called flames to shoot up the grunfeld tower, the government is still yet to remove cutting thousands of tar blocks in the u. k.

and on 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 so, so the proposal to be given or even new laws or recommendations or whatever it is, it's like is if we can the non profits before lives, and this can't happen is when will they ever learn is 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 a waiting, just charging at woodstock d oxy. london or former navy officer and father of for has sent out a minute for kids being on a list of privileged people in a new bingo game that us high school children are asked to play through flex on how

lucky they are. privileged bingo gaves high school children in the state of a junior or panel to take off so called primitive points. if their parents are white, male christian, or in the army. but x and man, poor shabbos, told us that quote, apart from the high risk of military kids, losing parents and comment. there are many reasons why they shouldn't be on the list. yeah, you know, military families. i certainly don't have privilege many times the spouse and husbands wives go off to war and they have to move round to a lot of different locations. the kids get uprooted from school school. they often don't have lifetime friends or friends within their grade for a long time because they move. however, fairfax county school officials are defending the game assisting. it pushes students to challenge thoughts and sharpens their ability to analyze. but subtle again, or warns the activity home younger. this is part of a more disturbing trend across america that bingo game does nothing

but harm children. because now they're looking at people based on the color of their skin or the job that their mother or their father did. to me that kind of being go cree, eights i discrimination. it's also harmful to those kids as well. i want your viewers to think if you're a military child in that school and there are a lot of military children in that school and they read that privilege. how do they feel, you know, how do they feel going home about this? i, we gotta stop segregating people based on anything. so i think parents need to continue to push back, need to continue to fight. i really hope that this is the beginning of the end of this kind of rhetoric in america. said she and full boon boss heading away just a few moments time with back came off and out with all of our elected join us again here on, on a this

possible form and got started and all that needed to be done with it before actually and then this stuff expanding so where are those new creations come from a switch? that's it's another kind of question the science can. so yes, i look, i will, i, lisa typical. there is only 9, but already diversity. students that away on slash a seems a new month appointment. let's see. yep. you got the last, there's dos padilla of good then no butcher able to go with

him so that he may come come no recalls. he really shows control studies program, use them now brochure, nebraska porcelain. will your special but i will the yeah my but i just have a birthday and i was thinking what the plan was to kinda push him was a new mom. she's in this, i'm doing it for doug that he was not to college. i knew it with soon lose with, with his teacher was all reason is balise. we'll coordinate inflation increases the stories, the rhetoric, the explanations, the justifications will get more and more bizarre back because there's nothing in the, in the playbook for a mainstream media to explain

a place because they've been told for 20 years now that there is no inflation that there's only deflation and the need to keep printing money. this, the, for the possibility of, of a deflationary spiral. 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 lean finger on you. you are doing it to yourself. we started adopting those techniques when i was station in mosul. among them were stress positions, sleep deprivation, and using hypothermia. there's already beginning to be evidence that these

old techniques are now being used on immigrant children. whatever you do or more that comes from home. nobody has been held accountable for the torture that happened in the past. the moral authority, the made america leader sacrifice the shimmer of effective interrogation. ah, with very says boom, bought one business. so you can't order mit. i'm ready to board and i'm ready to run. and then washington coming up the federal reserve plan to change ports in 2022 are being backed by president. fight it, but well the measure it to be an african that rising inflation and all that got plot. we take you to russia, we're, the nation central bank is calling for

a complete fan of crypto currency and mining. full take a look at wasn't fake net and where the oil prices sky rocketing can to be digit pharaoh will talk with an expert in the field about the forecast. we've got a lot to get to go. we leave the program with the state of inflation and central banks around the world look to combat rising prices. here in the united states, the federal reserve is preparing to raise interest rates for the 1st time since 2018 as it continues to pull back on billions of dollars an asset purchase it. now, along with criticism of the fed, there has been a lot of talk about what the central banks role actually id and president joe biden gave his take during a press conference on wednesday critical job and making sure that the elevated prices don't become entrenched. the rest of the federal reserve, which has a doorman day, full employment and stable prices. the federal reserve provided extraordinary support during the crisis for the previous year and

a half given the strength of our economy and the pace of recent price increases. it's appropriate as the federal chairman, chairman power, the fed chairman paul has indicated to recalibrate the support that is now necessary. and while inflation is at nearly 40 here, hi here in the us, it is stored to 30 year highs in the u. k, which became the 1st major central bank to raise rates back in december when it implemented an increase of 15 basis points up to point 25 percent. meanwhile, china is taking a different approach with beijing saying plans to lower its key mortgage lending benchmark. in an effort to support its following economy, the latest move brings china is one year loan prime rate up 10 basis points and it's 5 year rate at 5 basis points with more increases expected in the months to come. and joining us now to go further.
