ah ah ah, a useful meeting with a candidate exchange of opinions at a critical moment. that's how the russian and u. s. foreign policy treats describe their talks in geneva, which come mid rising tensions over ukraine and nato expansion. we recently notified congress of our intent to deliver and 17 helicopters. the white house announces it's sending military helicopters to ukraine just hours after de escalation talks with russia. other nato members are also ramping up weapons supplies with it's enough to scroll through a couple of random pages to be sure none of the provisions stand up to any critical analysis with at the news conference after the talk survey

lab, rob lashes out at u. s. officials and mainstream media coaching fresh unproven claims against moscow. we will examine those flames this hour with kathy live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our 2 international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. are now the top diplomats of russia and the united states have finished their security, talked in switzerland as tensions over ukraine remain high. washington is expected to provide moscow with a written response to the cremins concerns. next week our teacher oliver reports now from geneva. so wraps up here in geneva and we've now got a much clearer picture of exactly how both the us and russian side see these talks having gone. we heard from said again are for off the russian foreign minister who described them as useful and constructive. we heard from anthony blink at the u. s

. secretary of state who said that they were frank. an substances will start with the russian foreign minister said gala for of low. 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 2 security concerns that had been presented by moscow to their u. s. partners. 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 and these talk certainly what the representatives thief, a foreign minister in the, a secretary state had to say, there was tow major and tectonic shifts in where the risk respective countries stand. what we did here though, from the russian foreign minister,

as he addressed 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 u. s. a. nato really hasn't changed over the past couple of years. my store sued to grow money, because i think the u. s. state department should analyze the methods of cnn in regard to accuracy. you say we're going to attack ukraine despite our multiple explanations that we won't. but saying this will happen. you then ask why now, when do we not attack? it's a strange question. so we've caused repeated all fundamental point that never ending nato 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. u. s. chief diplomat, saying that the diplomatic route remained open to finding a solution to the tension 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 the address seriously can, i believe reduce tensions and address some of some of the concerns. well, the 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 they would be further meetings at the foreign ministerial level, perhaps here in geneva. and if those meetings went well, that that could be another meeting between president putin and president buys and perhaps face to face, perhaps here in geneva, repeat of what we saw last year, which took place in this with safety. what we have seen though is a continuation of willingness to continue the dialogue over these ongoing tensions between russia and the west plan. the u. s. will now provide m 17 military helicopters to give the announcement came just hours after top level

security talks with russia, where the u. s. secretary of state claimed he wanted to de escalate tensions of ukraine. i would note that the united states has delivered more security assistance to ukraine in the last year than any point in history. these deliveries are ongoing, including today there's more deliveries coming. we recently notified congress of our intent to deliver and 17 helicopters, just hours after this high level meeting. and already we have the united states increasing military aid to ukraine. and let's remember that if this meeting, we heard russia basically be urged by the united states to withdraw troops from its own soil. quite a situation. now the helicopters that the u. s. a is providing these helicopters are actually already in ukraine for maintenance. they're from the now defunct afghan army, and apparently the united states is going ahead and providing these military helicopters to ukraine. now it's also important to be aware of the fact that the 3

baltic states, estonia, latvia and lithuania, have announced that they will be supplying lethal weapons to ukraine. this includes javelin, anti tank guided missiles. they're going to be providing those to the ukraine. they'll be providing them with us support us approval. it's tanya nazi and the few ania and the allies of working together expeditiously to handle the security assistance to ukraine. this aid will further enhance ukraine's capability to defend its territory and population in case of possible russian aggression. but there is quite a rare among the united states and its allies. here we have germany, a long time in nato ally of the united states saying that they will not be allowing permits for the transport of weapons. there are estonian weapons based in germany, and they won't allow them to be transported to ukraine. and we actually have the

chancellor of germany speaking up and saying germany does not approve of the sending of lethal weapons to ukraine. the federal government has had a clear stance regarding arms exports in recent years. we have not supported the export of lethal weapons from germany. now moscow still expects that the security concerns that they raised with washington should be addressed. but these current moves from the united states increasing military escalation, are certainly not using tensions. in former us marine corps intelligence officer says the white house is bowing to domestic politicking by wrapping up rush attentions. if you don't steadily, the weapons in the united states. that opens up joe biden to criticism from congress at a time when he needs congressional support for domestic programs. so what we're seeing here is the consequences of allowing your foreign policy, your national security policy to be hijacked, by domestic with the fact that tony blinking his meeting with lab rob to discuss

a diplomatic off ramp for the current crisis. at the same time, the united states is green lighting of the delivery of weapons for the sole purpose of killing russia, because you don't have deterrence, unless you have a real capability, it's totally counterproductive and it undermines the american position when they say, you know, we won't allow nato to join for years. you don't need to worry about it. what's the difference between ukraine? that's a member of nato receiving western military aid and ukraine, who's not a member of nato receiving western military from the russia perspective. there is no difference or ahead of the talks. the state department outlined what it cited as examples of russian dis, information in a report that presents its opinions as solid facts. it was published just a couple of hours before the talks. russia's foreign minister was critical of both the content and its timing it tomorrow you can go to rosie, but the lease documents which the u. s. state department has,

of course prepare deliberately for today's meeting is simply impossible to read. 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 lie among the dubious claims in the report is that nato is not in circling russia with its military basis. it argued that the real problem is that russia is such a big country with more on the story and commentary. here's argent, i guess, yes. 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 a list of various things that russia has said that russia feels uncomfortable about all 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 its own territory fact deploying more than a $100000.00 russian troops, including battle hard and 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 is a clear, renewed russian threat to ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity. there is, of course, no mention of the fact that the russian troop buildup happen concurrently with a 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 russia's concern with troop 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, heat, and 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 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. a 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 points such as another one, a fiction, a russian fiction is that nato is surrounding russia. and here they argue that that

new it isn't. rush was 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, right, about half of russia's landber's 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, the new wouldn't promised russia that nater wouldn't expand it eastwards. this is, this is an outright lie. this is an in c, i a state department than 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 a 3 times telling gorbachev's that they, they wouldn't move one inch eastwood. you had a then the, the then west german foreign minister asked either ginger, saying that nato shouldn't expand east that given assurances to russia than the usaa. the, in the event of germany, re unifying that neither would 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 we have our team. we ourselves have become the target of washington's accusations with the us state department alleging that the channel and fellow news outlet. sputnik use disinformation to advance the cremeans foreign

policy. we got reaction from r t host and former british m p. george galloway the timing on the launch of this report is naked lay sign that it's part of our new propaganda offensive. but i have had the unpleasant task of reading all. busy 33 pages of it, of the people that have lied to us over and over again. i'm now lying to us about ukraine and russia. there's market for it. there is an audience for it, but fewer and fewer people are believing these lies than ever before. thanks to the existence of r t the existence of social media. people can find out the truth just with letting their fingers do the walking. more and more of them are us house speaker. nancy pelosi has been accused of a cynical you'd turn after she back to ban on stock market trading by lawmakers

despite her family topping the list of democrats. profiting from the much criticized practice. but critics note, she is hoping to divert growing anger at officials, profiting from insight information by demanding that supreme court members are also banned from trading stocks. to give a blanket attitude, if we can't do this and we can't do that because we can't be trusted. i just don't buy into that, but if members want to do that, i'm ok with that. if we're saying everybody should be living by the same standard, then lead, so be it. that's okay with me. but i don't think that the court should be let off the hook. so i say when we go forward with anything, let's take the supreme court with us to have disclosure. plus his husband made more than $5000000.00 from a timely bent on google's parent company. just before house legislation, seen as soft on big tech was passed, nancy posey's spokesperson insisted. she had no knowledge of the transactions, but her husband's investment judgment has proven so uncanny over the years that

many traders simply copy his picks to maximize profits. but now to senate democrats have proposed to build to ban sitting members of congress from stock trading. the editorial director of the reactionary times new site says plus he might publicly back the band, but politicians like her will never pass the legislation. i'm a fan of this proposed legislation. nancy pelosi herself is kind of flip flopped and been on both sides of this. i think it's because, you know, she's a politician and people are right now in favor of this unusual legislation. all these politicians can beat their chests and say that this is a good idea was it comes down to the floor. they're never going to vote for it's completely unethical for members of congress to use the inside baseball that they have as it would be ignoring, you know, and foolish to not believe that they're not using the inside information that they

already have to go ahead and profit on the dark, more members of congress have a direct effect on regulations and which all companies get to skirt certain regulations, which industry kind of get a push, you know, from the government in a little government subsidy asian. so you can kind of play the crystal ball in terms of the stock market. congress members have joined the public to blast the u. s. internal revenue services, new demand to use a 3rd party facial recognition app for tax returns with one congressman warning this is america, not china. the i r s insists the i d dot me app is secure and won't be required for all services, but taxpayers point out clear potential for abuse and unsanctioned sharing with other government agencies breaking the i r s are now trying to require facial recognition to view your tax returns. this is america,

not china. you mean there is a problem with id theft for tax returns, but not for voting ballots. thank you senator. especially given what we know about the i r. s ability to share data with other federal agencies. i see the f, b i, d, e, a, etc. this is essentially creating mandated u. s. government facial recognition database that will inevitably be abused. band facial recognition. the host of the politics, politics, politics podcast. so that 5 times fast told us the iris has a worrying record when it comes to data protection. the iris has had a problem and it's been a very, very serious problem in terms of data that and it was way too easy to access somebody's back faxes that essentially gives away the golden goose in terms of somebody being able to impersonate you online. so the federal government has already done an extraordinarily poor job of securing our data,

whether id me remains a top to your vendor for which maintains their relationships with both states and federal government. that is something that, again, we do need to make sure that we keep a vigilant eye on. but as for assurances, look, this is the internet. it is a dirty place and people can get pretty much whatever they want. if you are insecure and many of us are us, asian regulators have been forced to rush through new airport landing technology after top airlines warned of a catastrophe from interference by new 5 g mobile networks. after airline bosses said, 5 g networks could ground planes. the federal aviation administration approved new alternators that allow landings in low visibility conditions, major flag carriers from british airways to live times. i had already changed or canceled flights over the issue. because the proposed 5 g deployment involves

a new combination of power levels, frequencies proximity to flight operations, and other factors. the f a will need to impose restrictions on flight operations using certain types of radar altimeter equipment close to antennas. in 5 g networks, us pilot jason cornish says that the issue is a huge worry for the aviation community. the aviation community thinks this is a huge problem basically because there is a potential degradation of safety if we're not confident that we can fly at a safe environment we want. and so it's going to lead to more cancellations than we've already seen. 5, g is, is in a lot of different countries around the world has already been implemented in and around airports. the difference that we're seeing in the international fight is that the 5 g antennas are at different angles and using different power levels. and they do in the united states. and so when they're being turned on in the united states, there,

that's what's causing this interference. a new report has claimed that former pope benedict, the 16th failed to take action in 4 cases of alleged sexual abuse. while he was serving as archbishop of the german cities of munich and facing of 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 priests of the report also said that the former pope supported this latest inquiry but denied any wrong doing. we spoke with wilfred feldman, who says he was a victim of sex abuse by the clergy during that period and he told us what he has been through. that's why it happened in the summer of $979.00. i was 11 years old back then pastor act served as 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. i could not work when i had dizziness. i could not drive or simply go out of the house if 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 experience. 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. it's not the 1st time that senior catholic clergyman have been under the fire over alleged sexual abuse, numerous other cases having been reported in other german cities as well. and also ireland and france. wilfred feldman again says that after his letter benedict changed punishment guidelines for clergy guilty of sex offences but says it's taken too long to happen in feeble fight in 20062008. i sent anatomist emails to the

munich diocese. i wrote about my experiences with pastor x when he was in 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 describe my letter as criminal blackmail, but it's clear that i hadn't been blackmailing the church. those officials who came to me realize 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 at 4 and a half years after london deadly grunfeld fire tragedy fears of a repeat have emerged. that's mid plans to build

a new high rise in the area with yet again, only one set of fire escape stairs for its residence. shoddy edwards da. she has more in the shadows of the grunfeld. holla, the tragedy that came the lives of 72 plans are in place to build a new skyscraper, twice the high and just to see me away. despite the public inquiry concluding the safety policy also grunfeld 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 christine cases are difficult to use for fire fighting and escape at the 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's 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 put. i'm very concerned the fact that once they case staples 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 mama steaks . we shouldn't do them. the government is currently reviewing the provision of escape routes and building regulations while the local council and 5th resident safety comes fast. the safety of our residence is our number one priority. we take to fly 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

and combustible material like that, which called flames to shoot up the grunfeld tower, the government is still yet to remove cutting in thousands of tiled blocks in the u . k. and on 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 so, so the proposal to be given or even new laws or recommendations or whatever it is, it's like is if we carry a non profits before lives, i'm that this can't happen. when will they ever learn the 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? shonda edwards dusty, archie london. and that is it for me, i'll be back in about 32 minutes for another film. fresh looks new. so with our international, ah,

there may or may we serve up in may or may we should all be angry because of what's going on. right. can't understand united states history and the role that slavery play was already very formal institution. at a time, united states became a nation. it actually find the nation, the rise of capitalism clearly on the backs of slate and the slave down. if you had investigated lynchings to any great extent, you can't believe that the country and country still stands in brick. i'm from the south. everybody know, know what they're senior. to some extent, i would argue that we're still fighting the civil war. and the south is winning

with ah, 2021 has a game broken, an abysmal record. more than 17000000 hector as a forest have been destroyed by fire. and for the 1st time ever, smoke has drifted as far as the north pole, as recorded by satellite gothic, what by there will not have repeated what man heated please keep the court in the bush implicitly for her. he went back to somebody meant some incredible cumulus. that was 3 to what i still love. the stuff that we started at the adults use here to mildly of these couple of little me in here will be very he really, if someone will be with you, hope all is good right from what you will be with you. a phone call you this for a while. thank you. bye. yep. or prosper pretty weaker. clear for mobile shots,

the correct mr. dean. yeah, brewer them. russia has the largest number of preserved forrest in the world. however, illegal deforestation, contraband forrest product, export and wildfires. of all cost the country up to $13000000000.00 a year and even worse, the loss of unique natural resources. old growth forests are yes, normal not. and usually probably be at the menu and usually but which messed up. he has been just a little custody to the local, not number, which is why natural, you don't worry about promote what's good. cancel need to double because name also e and up to the school to the.
