r t correspondence. peter oliver 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 the 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 in 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 look 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

it is, 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 apologize. issue heartfelt apology to 700000000 european citizens who were left disappointed with the, with the european union's response and reporting on this somehow in the eyes of washington or the state department, eas, 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

if you dare watch r t, you may be transformed into an alien. you may be an enemy of the united states. i really reeks of cold war propaganda. you know, i started reading it with an open minded, you know, 20 some pages. i tried to read with an open mind thinking ok, they're going to going to still going to really nab r t on some big mistakes that they made. there was not a single specific example of where art he got anything wrong. it's just that they don't like a flavor of it. they don't like any alternative voices being out there, and that's their chief beef with r t. so it's pretty pathetic when you profess due to endorse pluralism in the media . and in fact, you want to shut down any opinion that is contrary to the official u. s. government opinion. so if you look at the cases quoted in the report, they focus on instances where our tea has not been seen, at least to follow the western narrative. how can they be seen as propaganda? when so many argue that they are adding a valuable balance to that western bias. well, here's something funny th

it does also give credit, of course to r. t and sputnik china haven't come in full share of criticism for viewing figures is given credit for their reach, their international reach and scope, especially in the middle east and latin america. researchers have found that r t arabic online reach is comparable to those of prominent pan arab media outlets and b, b, c, news arabic. according to the atlantic councils, digital forensic research lab r t has garnered a significant audience even if their audience statistics are incorrect. this does not diminish their demonstrable ability to play a key role in the laundering of narratives across rushes. does information ecosystem? well, that's just about where the good news in the report stops, are to use. heavily criticized for not providing a balance to counter. instead, just presenting the crumbling point of view to make the criminal look good and it's adversary's look bad and be painted in a negative light situation, which many of you was watching a multiple state funded channels around

whereas r t, this a mates propaganda and this information at because any news that goes through r t is lack, even if it's the same with the same piece of news. or if it comes out of our teeth, it is will to magically with an agenda they, they, they made certain examples. for example, if they looked at what happened in turkey in 2015 to 2014, i believe when the russian jet was shot out by turkey. and they said, look, this was russian coverage before it was neutral of turkey. and after russian coverage of turkey was negative, i just a huge surprise took, he had just shot down a russian jet. i it be interesting to see how american media would reactor to turkey. you will someone else, mexico shooting down an american jet out obviously the, the, the coverage would be much more negative if there was also could, as, as a broad sees coverage of europe. they say that the r t and spoof think have been decimating propaganda about and conspiracy theories about the cubic pandemic saying, criticizing the european union's response, i'd just like to mention that as we were criticizing the european uni

r. t and sputnik frequently give favorable coverage to organizations such as wiki leeks, that have received information from hackers working for russian intelligence services. while transparency also comes in the criticism, the, the report to slating a lack of a list of staff, a chain of hierarchy, and indeed financial information as examples of why r t is dis, violence and propagandistic in its coverage. and it's actually very interesting timing for this report because of course, top russian officials have been negotiations with us and nato counterparts for several days. now the most important talks coming tomorrow in geneva, when 4 minutes the sag allowed off will meet secretary of state anthony, blinking for talks to diffuse some of that tension in the only russian ukraine border and around the da boss and logan zones. so quite old timing, but perhaps not entirely surprising, given the media frenzy on russian aggression russian harvard warfare which a lot of mainstream west media outlet

but because you know, you have these last a band, c, r t. but what difference is it going to make band something that's not even talk anyway, but is, are any schools in america teaching that people are racist because institutions in america, a racist trigger? lindsey yes, i think what we're seeing in education and what we're seeing in curriculum, what's interesting is that if i think about the education that i received growing up for a long time, i wasn't learning about slavery. i wasn't learning about the 13th 14th, 15th amendment. i wasn't learning in depth about the jim crow system, i wasn't learning about those things. and so seeing the incorporation of that in curricula, whether that's in high schools or thinking about in higher ed in courses that students elect to take, not mandated to take that you're learning about racism and it's history, it's routes and it's after lives the ways that it shows up in institutions in systems and, and interpersonal interactions. i think it's important that we acknowledge when people are teaching about

made escalating tensions over ukraine. moscow speaks out against america as a parent, defamation of a r t and fellow news agency. sputnik of the washington accuses them up spreading dis information. we examine the allegations report claims, former pope benedicts, the 16th to fail to take action of allegations of sexual abuse among the clergy in germany. and another high rise is to be built in london with the same hazards. if the notorious grenville tower renewing fits about the devastating fire that killed more than 70 people, we spoke to a man who lost his family in the blaze. it's like there's a lot of profits before lives. i'm just following up with. when will they ever learn a very warm welcome. this is our to international broadcasting live from moscow course just turned 1 pm. great, happy with us. as tensions of ukraine remain high, the top diplomats of the us and russia are about to meet in switzerland to discuss moscow proposals for regional security guarantees. russia envoy, a foreign minister, sergey la. ralph has already arrived in geneva full the talks with the u. s. secretary

concerns within a week. meanwhile, the criminal speak side against americans, the parent defamation of r, t and federal news agency. sputnik that after washington to keep them spreading this information and the report claims form a poke benedict to 16, failed to take action over allegations of sexual abuse. among the clergy in germany or service. our lessons not learned as another high rise is being built in london with the same design phone system in the taurus grunfeld tower, renewing phase about this devastating blade that kills more than 70 people. we speak to a man who lost his family in the tragedy. it's like, is it all profits before lives? i'm just calling happen. when will they ever learn the hello there. 5 pm here in moscow. you watching international now the top diplomats of russia and the u. s. i've finished their security talks in geneva as tensions over ukraine. remain high, washington is expected to provide more sco with a written response to the criminal concerns next week. so let's get more now from geneva and cross and speak with our correspondent pedro oliver, who is cove

this is the weekly and r t. hello and welcome a huge march against kobe restrictions as wrapped up in brussels. at least 50000 people took to the streets. several dozen were arrested during clashes. ah. as you can see, riot police were out in force deploying tear gas and water. kellen belgium already requires vaccine certificates for public venues, including restaurants and bars. and the rules have just got even tougher with the cobit pass validity period shortened to just $150.00 days. meaning millions of people will have to tick boosters shops. some lawmakers are pushing for a full nation wide vaccine mandate, following austria's example on idea that spark widespread fury. how much of the anger today was directed up the leadership with a crowd rallying outside the european action service building. now, it's the equivalent of a foreign on the fence ministry. a you've foreign policy chief use apparel. as an office there, his windows were smashed. burrell wasn't enough the time, but later came to the site and con

there are several indicators that show r t and sputnik. i'm not analogous to journalistic lee independent media outlets such as b, b, c, and voice of america. first party and sputnik black, b, b, c, and voice of american transparent organizational, and financial structures. we never lie about our budget, however, the us agency for global media us. hey jim does, well, i don't know exactly what they invest in r t and and screwed nick and in other russian media. but i know that is more than what the united states government invest. of course are media and russian is 10 times a 100 talking. it's around 10 x factor absolutely less follows of dollars. in 2019 usa gym allocated $808000000.00 to his networks, while in 2019 artist budget was almost $316000000.00. combining it with the budget of ra cs. the world knew it was only 430000000. or here we have to agree with people in the state department r. c is definitely not the same in likely attempt to damage the reputations of may done revolution activists. the ukrainian leadership and the ukranian

the 1st r t and sputnik collect b, b, c. and voice of american transparent organizational and financial structures. we never lie about our budget. however, the us agency for global media us. hey jim dove. well, i don't know exactly what they invest in r t and, and sputnik and in other russian media. but i know that it's more than what the united states government and the best of course, our media and russian is 10 times a 100 to think it's around a 10 x factor. absolutely less follows of dollars. in 2019 usa g m allocated $808000000.00 to its networks. while in 2019 artist budget was almost 316000000. combining it with the budget of rossi, as you want, knew it was only 430000000. or here we have to agree with people in the state department. i'll see is definitely not the same in likely attempt to damage the reputation of may done revolution activists, ukrainian leadership and the ukraine forces in the ukraine allies in the russian population. the criminal pushed the narrative, the neo not to them was ramp and ukraine, prod y

host of r t c at the present. thanks so much for coming on the show today at it. thanks and gotcha. so manella, let's start with you. what we saw in trinity story was absolutely heartbreaking. do you think the actions stem from what so many are calling asian hate? or is it just hate for other people in general? well, you know, i think natasha that, that while this incident at the new york city subway platform, i think this one was more of a case of a mental health issue. and i think that is the start problem that we're seeing in a lot of these big cities across the us that do happen to be democrat lead. i think a lot of resources are not being placed where they need to go in places like this, where you just saw that man who was allegedly a homeless person with mental health issues shouting at the press. i don't believe that particular case was a, a case of asian hate, although yes, there is an unprecedented numbers of asian hate crimes going through the roof all over these big cities. this one in particular though

they know perfectly well that c r t isn't on the curriculum, but they're using it just like masks and vaccine as a way for their rhetoric and action to see more palatable. the p t. a have become radicalized recruitment centers. as a republican, i am sick of you already. virginia never taught critical race theory. you banned nothing. now your stupidity is spreading cove it in schools that will end the lives of more stupid republicans. why do you hate god in america? are you a fascist? now it's important to note, virginia has been pretty solidly in the democratic parties camp for the last decade . and the new governor who signed all these executive orders on his 1st day only one by roughly 2 percent. so. busy we're looking at the state of virginia, a historically blue state that now seems to have a red governor on the state leadership as example of how the united states remains divided in these times. it's pretty clear that virginians don't see eye on some rather critical issues for involving the schools where their children learn why there's been another update on the often inflamed re

so you guessed it, r t and sputnik get a red label. switch off immediately. don't let those russians get inside your head and encourage you to question are fearless american leaders. but what outlets are say, well, there's buzz feed the guardian, the new york times the washington post. and don't forget the official u. s. government outlet called voice of america. now, do you remember when the washington post told us that russia had hacked the power grids? that wasn't true. do you remember when buzz feed ran with the story about trump and the steel dossier? and that turned out to be from a source that was pretty incredible that he remember when almost all the mainstream media outlets told us that iraq had weapons of mass destruction and we just had to invade deer. remember all the lies we were told in the lead up to the nato intervention in libya. but let's not be too hard on news guard. after all, they themselves admit these labels are not a measure of factual accuracy. they only label websites that they determined to have a hidden agenda are green red rating

and for more on the consequences of the us war on terror, you can add to r t dot com there. you can find and comment on our special project on heard voices where we speak to those on the ground hit by america's war in afghanistan. in an exclusive interview with rti, iran's president has said that he wants a group of nations free of us control. the comments come amid heightened attentions with washington over nuclear talks with iran, and he does have outlines the key points that were raised. this interview was the iranian president's 1st such interview to, to foreign press, or we were fortunate it went on for a while, the better part of a now, and those are a lot covered. obviously, one of the 1st things we talked about is relations with russia, between a rod and russia, the strategic corporation deal. that is, that is still being in between the 2 countries that goes way into the future. 20 years into the future envisioning all sorts of cooperation between iran and russian . i of the rainy president, why, why russia? and he says that the 2 countries have a lot that they agree

r. t. new york. well, talking of christian morrison to chew over on a friday evening, western liberal democrats now live under a full sense of freedom with us practically a civil war. that is what leading philosophers level g check as well, and that is new book of having a disorder. we got the low down a bit more why i think what today really east indic isaacs are western liberal democracy themselves. not blaming one site or the opposite of here, the debbie level off in cuba society, the outrage state policy. but the bishop district who, you know, very strange trade can be done late into political engagement in the west, kansas. it's much more in the den. so the send off we are saying why we are not even aware of how we are. and because we experience is really do what you want, but there are different, especially digital media. it's not just walk you want to doing what you are doing. right. you stuck somewhere in that new pharmacy big comes over, manipulate your desire, your says you, grayson, bigler

so one of the main topics of discussion was the fate of r t. z a german language channel r t d e. to remind our viewers, it was banned from youtube in germany within just 24 hours of its creation. official, german media regulators have taken it off. busy of one of the major broadcast satellites in germany and the channel has been facing financial problems likely connected to what's, you know, seems like a certain bias against our tv. we heard from the russian foreign minister circ a lab, rob. he said that the german state was directly involved in this violation of free journalism. going even as far to say that sanctions might have to be taken if the matter is not resolved. now. as for the german foreign minister for her part, she said that the german state had nothing to do with it. let's take a listen to what they said. oh, wouldn't metastasized states interference regarding r t well need? that's just not true. and on the escrow boomstra we have ground to believe that the german government has something to do with what is happening law. now that wasn't all bare bach had to say ab

and the r t dot come on to our other headline news now and fears, protest to wrapped it in major cities across france this weekend, including clashes with police over mandatory vaccine passports and other cupboard restrictions being imposed. there were an estimated $105000.00 demonstrators nationwide with right police resulting to truncheons and tear gas in some places to restore order. ah ah. the protestors took to the streets of songs on saturday in the cities of paris. nice and i've been on to protest against the cove at pass the scenes turned violent with police using tear gas and battens against many of the protesters a similar throw back to the scenes that we saw in late december. now this is despite the fact that on monday you had as many as 400000 people tested positive for covert in france. it comes as the french president emanuel macklin used vulgar language against people have chosen to be unvaccinated. his comments were to clyde across the french public and across the political spectrum, and he made them as the national assembly debated a law that would see unvaccinated peop

on to back that up, it mentions an article written for r t by historian paul robinson. here's what the article actually says. problem here is note that the government is the fastest, johnson that is clearly an enormous exaggeration. despite restrictions on the use of the russian language and the recent repression of some anti government media personalities. ukraine remains a rose, be free and open society. it's not remotely fascist. an article i wrote in which i actually say that the idea about ukrainian government is fascist, is an enormous exaggeration. and that ukraine is not remotely fascist. is specifically what i say in the article. and yet this article is linked to in the state department report as evidence r t is spreading the false narrative that ukraine is a fascist state. i was the article in fact as the lead direct opposite. and then there's more similar sort of statements on the next page about something else. the story about a boy who was killed in a rebel occupied don bass and the russian press reported that time he'd been killed by ukrainian drone. the s

or even r t has become a target of the accusations from washington over the u. s. t. a deposit insisting that our t and our fellow news outlet us sputnik. a use disinformation to advance rushes foreign policy brushes, dis, information and propaganda ecosystem. the usa department has something to say in their brand new report that stopped for a moment and enjoy top people did devote their time and passion. after all, heroes, 3 favorite parts partying sputnik frequently give favourable coverage to organizations such as the week meeks, that have received information from hack his working correction and telecom services to the people in the state department or on number one, funds. reading and watching only r t and sputnik otherwise. how can this be explained? a blow for julian assange and for press freedom. julian, a sans he infuriated washington, now he's facing life in prison. julian assange indictment failed to mention with helix video that exposed us war crimes in iraq. there are several indicators that share our tea and sputnik. i'm not analogous to journalistic lee

true. caleb martin r t new york. well, just a reminder, the w h o sized vaccination, all natural immunity at the best way to stay safe within a number of a daily covert cases in russia has more than a half since november when it reached the maximum of 41000. all the same, a number of russian cities have introduced new blue . oh, driven by dreamer shapes bankers and those with dares sinks. we dare to ask ah ah ah, what is good to happy with us today for the program. the number of daily cove cases here in russia has more than a half since november. that's when it reached to report a maximum of 41000, all the same number of russian cities, orange reducing new restrictions at st. petersburg, for example, limiting access to shops and restaurants for the unvaccinated, the only exceptions grocery stores and pharmacies. and while the omar con variant is spreading, doctors are worried about the impact early australians may have been having on children. as ortiz, anton krislofski investigated the issue back in december, ah, ah

not and cannot ask the state interference regarding r t d. well, that's just not true enough unless you know why. we have every reason to believe that the german government is directly involved in what is happening. let me remind you that banking services for our journalists were stopped at an early stage. the german media regulator blocked the satellite signal despite the serbian license. we believe that this is an interference in the work of independent journalists. and i wasn't all bare bach had to say about the rtp, actually she want to went on at length to speak about how popular channel is about how it's the 4th largest on social media, based on what she said, you might even think she was one of our fans and cannot do. he has confirmed it the 4th largest on social media. that's of course there was also a lot of talk about the security guarantees that rushes proposed for itself and nato to prevent further escalation of the conflict in ukraine. russia is still waiting for concrete answers from nato and the west. although we have heard fro

and i wasn't all bare bach had to say about to r t d. actually she want to went on at length to speak about how popular our channel is about how it's the 4th largest on social media, based on what she said. you might even think she was one of our fans and cannot all do. he has confirmed it's the 4th largest on social media. of course, there was also a lot of talk about the security guarantees that rushes proposed for itself and nato to prevent further escalation of the conflict in ukraine. russia is still waiting for concrete answers from nato and the west. although we have heard from washington, which is called the the, the proposals that rushes put forward. nonstarter negotiating points for the german foreign ministers. part though, she said that the german government is ready for serious discussions about these proposals, while she also demanded security guarantees from russia. and she said that russian troops are somehow threatening the russian troops that are located on russian territory near ukraine. as for elaborate though, he sai

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 fro

r t. new york kennedy open. there was a question more final one. this isn't that you over western liberal democrat, democracies now live under a full sense of freedom with the u. s. practically civil war says leading philosophers level gigi, who's wanda, and his new book called heaven in disorder. we got the load on a white saying i think what day really is indicated. it's our western liberal democracies themselves. i not blaming one site or the other here, the debbie level off in cuba society, the outrage state policy. but the bishop district, you know, very strange trade demo to be there on slate that into political engagement in the west, kansas. it's much more in the sense of the sense off we are saying why we are not even aware of how we gotta change our end. because we experience we do what you want, but to be especially digital media. it's not what you want to doing. what you are doing, right, you start somewhere in that new pharmacy big, you can manipulate your desire. your says, you see this is grayson bigler. she promote that. some bad re

welcome to the news r and r t. my names, you know the the wealth of. busy the world's richest people has doubled during the pandemic, while the per have suffered increased death rates and poverty due to a lack of treatment on vaccines. those are the findings of a report by oxford called inequality killed. the charity claims policy choices by governments are skewed in favor of the rich dwell for the world's 10 riches men. his w, as the pandemic began the income of 99 percent of humanity, a worse off because of coven 19. this is not by chance, but choice. economic violence is perpetrated when structural policy choices are made for the richest and most powerful people. this causes direct com to us all the time they make has really exposed been a call. it is an fuel them. so oxide has been tracking billionaire wells for some time and of course the full list shows that it has been growing over the last 40 years. but over the last 2 years it's been really exponential. so we call it a billionaire bonanza. and at the other end of the spectrum, of course, for 9

k. chart, edwards dusty r t, a london shadow reporting for r t. she said that because this is our t, we have a website r t dot com. so pretty straightforward. so you in 30 minutes, ah, to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race group is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful at very political time. time to sit down and talk with you on the little go i did that's on the south york. i need to look at. i see you want to get the one i started with me on the why levels can you get there? are or the world would she chest? you'll few me where to renew my a small and i'm and that a bit. i'm an exam, and again i will head is cost more time and all that good. the field again, walden, norma, and many of the but that has, that has a pen. yeah. well, when will that be made? mostly afraid what it's called them again. well, we better be a little closer to school till friday to give the range. oh good. i fully appr

if, if you, if you know when h r t, the hosted rescue team, which is an elite group who works there with the bureau when you know when they're using, they're not use that frequently. a lot of times local law enforcement will be, will be used for these types of issues. it's faster for a number of reasons. but the fact that they were there, the fact that this ended the way it did, despite the fact that the hostages broke free without their, their help tells you a lot. and it would lead, lead you to think that there was at least something there, maybe not a ton of intelligence, but at least something were like, oh this is not going to look good. we did know something and we failed here. interesting. well, here's my thing. why it's not a law prohibiting these individuals from traveling into the united states and should there be, i mean, considering people who make some sort of disruption, rightfully so, by not wearing a mask on an airline that are on a no fly list. wouldn't this be a good individual that would possibly be on that no fly list even flying here in the united states? yeah, absol
