russia or is the other europe russia is the other europe russia is the europe they don't want to be it's a state which they regard as. reactionary nationalistic religious patry arctic. and so on all the things all of al use that they reject europe the european union wants to be unhistorical post national and so on and that's why russia is like a sort of guilty conscience for the way they have their own internal political purposes they have to. hate russia and say they hate russia and when i say internal political purposes i mean that in the strongest possible sense of the term because just as in the united states of america conservatives and others in. they basically conservatives in europe very often attacked as being russian 5th columnists in other words it serves a very straightforward political purpose which is to insult and discredit people who don't agree with various aspects of western foreign policy so for all those reasons i don't think that there's any prospect at least not in a short or even medium term of any improvement same same question to you. because it's you know t

russia relations stay with. welcome back across the uk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing russia gate. ok let's go back to john in new york and i said in the 1st part of the program that trump was a killer i meant of obviously that you know biden said that putin was a killer just want to make sure our audience knows that john i mean you know what we had we had joseph burrell the. representing the e.u. foreign policy portfolio he was in moscow a few weeks ago completely completely humiliated him self by lecturing russians in russia itself and then we had the fiasco in anchorage i mean what in the world does the biden ministration expect russia to do i mean openly allow it to meddle in its domestic politics like it did in the 1990 s. on this side of the pond this is what people are trying to figure out i mean what are you what do you expect us to do surrender our sovereignty. and do our own legal system i mean it's the that's what's so bizarre on this side here is that it

proof of who is in mason school firstly it is not russia who has violated the nato russia found in acts of $997.00 indeed it is nato because nato now has a permanent military presence in eastern europe on buses western buddhists and that is a major file ation all the agreements of $997.00 between nato and russia it is not russia which has a russian led military alliance on for example americas or jody's all britains oda so in fact the who is in the coats of nato but then nato and the german foreign minister a not sincere when they say that they want to fall in relations they understand the level the atrocious level of relations between 8 and russia and they know that if there is to be a folk then nato has to take the 1st step so we can dismissal the german foreign minister said as many propaganda and russia will not tolerate any sort of suggestion a whole or suggestion that the boat is in russia's quote russian stipulates nato super quiet instead to be a full in relations firstly nato we drove its military forces phone the west from the old west and pulls out all of russia and secondly

that one needs to keep an eye on more than just declaring russia the u.k.'s main threat to london also laid out plans to increase its nuclear weapons arsenal we discussed the issue with political analyst chris bambery and kate hudson from the campaign for nuclear disarmament both of them are concerned what impact the move could have on efforts to deescalate the global arms riis. it's interesting that he's chosen to make this increasing nuclear arsenal at the same time as president biden and putin have recently signed up again favorite new the new start treaty which is a by the actual nuclear weapons reduction treaty so it's not johnson is going against the flow we've had 30 years of gradual to solve meant that spic is down across the world russia or the us still continuing with that constructive development and boris johnson set me saying right so the 40 percent increase in britain's nuclear weapons i mean people have a right to say why he can or thought of what the leader of the opposition says but he's asking the right question what is the point of this to

russia recalls its ambassador to the u.s. after president biden said vladimir putin would pay the price for election meddling while at the same time branding the russian head of state a killer. the e.u. considers a controversial digital covert pass to open up travel between member states. and u.k. hospitals warned they may have to take their scalpels to their own services unless they get billions of pounds and support. from you all the most important news from around the world this is r t international i'm donald quarter and welcome to the program. russia has recalled its ambassador to the u.s. to get the lowdown on the state of diplomatic ties with washington and it comes in response to a t.v. interview where prime president biden agreed when questioned that vladimir putin is a quote killer the russian foreign ministry had this to say for us the main thing is to determine ways of improving russian u.s. ties which in a difficult state washington has in fact brought those to the data and in recent years we are interested in pr

have some concerns still to say about russia's expanding military presence in russia. and they're not wrong vladimir putin would surely come in now and save the russians coastline makes 53 percent of the arctic ocean there are $2000000.00 russians living in the arctic region he would say it's good and right that russia is the top dog russia or is the most important nation in the region. well russia is not the most important nation in the region 1st of all let's see that way 'd most of their resources which are proven in the arctic they are actually already they are located in the russian part of the shelf it's clear it's over 90 percent so we don't argue with that but if we see sea from the point of view who are to belong to i mean of course there is the international religious nation which regulates the issue of the un convention on the law of the sea which says that every country only has the 1st 200 sea miles for itself and not more and if you want more you have to go through a long procedure so basically russia is tied by the international legislation just exactly

russia soft power. russia is raising friendship in other countries. russia wages friendship. soft power is supposed to be a passive thing, right? so think american movies and showing our lifestyle. that is a passive power of attraction to the united states. and to the freedom and political preferences and al views we're supposed to represent. the nature of what i is is don't control soft power. don't have a soft power policy in the rendering but put president's russia has a soft power policy. it is an active policy, an active force, and one of their policy documented it's described as a set of instruments and methods used to achieve foreign policy goals without using the military. but instead changing the information environment and, quote other, instruments of influence. it's a culture power of attraction but to russian policymakers it's intentional and instrumental. so some thats you anyway not know about it has established cultural centers for teaching russian language in europe. it makes grants to civil society organizations. it funds foreign students at russian universit

korea and russia. for their role in prosecuting l g b t plus people brussels is stepping up sanctions against russian officials most recently the e.u. impose sanctions on russia over the poisoning of now imprisoned kremlin opponents. by imposing sanctions the u.s. and the european union are slowly tightening the screws. but how much further is europe really willing to go. let me put that question to motor mount in your opening statement you said that none of the 3 powers russia china or the u.s. has a real interest in escalation but the fact is that is a very much a european perspective europe in general and germany in particular have repeatedly made it clear that they are very concerned about being forced to essentially take sides in a us china cold war. and possibly also with us hostility versus. russia do you think that's what's happening here is the e.u. now with these latest sanctions against china essentially being forced to take sides. in a way yes and. i always say if it's through through partn

demon urns of russia this is part of this new cold war against china against russia now it's articulating itself. seen more there's already a diplomatic war you know you logical war in an economic war on china on russia on any country that opposes u.s. unipolarity so i think we have to analyze it within that this context that they want to keep brazil in their part in the a sphere of influence in other even using vaccines to do that to the great detriment of the brazilian people including close friends of mine or we were asked to call them in brazil is our just one it is it in brazil was interesting particularly the president's interests there to back to this pressure considering you know the situation that is countries in and the fact that they've got one of the highest death rates to cope with in the world. you know what wilson out has been extremely callous for the needs of the brazilian people under lula china was able to really make a lot of economic inroads chinese exports and imports to brazil and now twice that of the united states so i think we have to see it in the context of the

win for russia and just yesterday russia's president vladimir putin held telephone talks with the head of the european council shah. so i think this is definitely much more a reaction to the new e.u. sanctions which were leveled yesterday against russia a kind of show of force and we've been seeing quite a lot of that confrontational rhetoric from the russian side recently after all the e.u. has been rather confrontational with russia over the poisoning of opposition politician i think saying now viney russia in turn has been accusing the u.s. and the e.u. of meddling in its internal affairs we saw just around a month ago the expulsion of 3 e.u. diplomats during the visit of a top diplomat of burrell to moscow here and i think what we're seeing now is just a confrontational a contant continuation rather of that confrontational rhetoric we're talking about confrontational rhetoric russia and china are presenting a united front in opposing sanctions that were just announced against him by the e.u. the u.k. the u.s. canada is most signaling that it's now more likely to cooperate with beij

from russia there is no fret phone china out to another similarity between china and russia russia's achilles heel manes the north caucasus even though the region is being so early logics that pacified it wouldn't take much for a serious conflicts and that is why in the 90 nineties and even today western special services a still looking to foment or in the north caucasus and at the same time the americans and the british understand that china's achilles heel is seen jack and that is why they are alleging that the chinese government seized persecutes in the muslim region of the muslim population of this region and has established concentration camps that the americans and the british have not provided any substantial reference of any kind whatsoever to corroborates that height indeed the chinese off fighting terrorists in changing noticeably islamist terrorists comprised of isis cells and al qaida cells there and if they are successful in gene shank in the fates in the chinese security forces that then post a grave threat to chinese in that sense so here is our president emeritus of t

that twitter may be blocked in russia within a month russia's communications watchdog has announced that the social network will no longer be available in the country if it refuses to delete thousands of posts with illegal content here and as more details. this doesn't come completely out of the blue because russia's communication regulator has sent over 28000 requests for the removal of harmful content to twitter since 2017 and unfortunately many of these requests have gone a nords now we're talking about the sort of content that relates to suicide to self harm including hundreds of posts relating to child pornography and hundreds more relating to drugs so it's the sort of content which would raise alarm bells within many countries and in some cases already has in the u.k. for example the recent investigation by the internet watch foundation found that twitter was it was responsible for a startling amount of child pornography content we're talking about $1400.00 instance out of $2800.00 also in the us in the state of california a federal lawsuit was filed against twitter in january this

russia do you think that's what's happening here is the e.u. now with these latest sanctions against china essentially forced to take sides. in a way yes and. always say if it's through through partnerships or through nato or through other institutions there's always a very strong link between european union and the united states and it's. even if it's for the security of your of behind a real still relying on the american nuclear umbrella for that so there is and we are democracies that binds us together we share the same values. the question is the threat of escalation we have the experience from the cold war we're always afraid about escalating things. all 3 countries a member of the united nations security council all 3 are nuclear powers so there's never a military solution for any kind of conflict so i think that sanctions became just another tool of international diplomacy doesn't really hurt a country functions very well with one exception to south africa. of all other countries like from sudan through libya through serbia all of those

russia will be there but that has to happen as equals on equal footing to mutual benefit so russia isn't about to bend over backwards to do something that europe wants especially not after not after everything that has happened in china shares much the same opinion. which. is issues in china and russia but they know it's a lie under invented pretenses and attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of china russia a long gone result to uphold international justice remains undiminished. was in beijing making a statement as he was talking to his chinese counterpart let's talk for a minute then about russia chinese relations where is that going to becoming closer and closer and they're being driven closer and closer because look at the. european union's policy towards russia for the better half of a decade the united states to it was sanctioned everything that they feasibly could it was to try and contain russia to coerce it into doing into behaving in a way that europe wants suits european or american interest and hours of work nothing's changed i mean they're the 1st to admit it that it

and russia. for their role in passive. people brussels is stepping up sanctions against russian officials most recently the e.u. impose sanctions on russia over the poisoning of now imprisoned kremlin opponents. by imposing sanctions the u.s. and the european union are slowly tightening the screws. but how much further is europe really willing to go. let me put that question to motor mount in your opening statement you said that none of the 3 powers russia china or the u.s. has a real interest in escalation but the fact is that is a very much a european perspective europe in general and germany in particular have repeatedly made it clear that they are very concerned about being forced to essentially take sides in a us china cold war. and possibly also with us hostility versus these of russia do you think that's what's happening here is the e.u. now with these latest sanctions against china essentially forced to take sides. in a way yes and. i always say if it's through through partnerships or through nato or through other

russia ties with biden. well i think the putin putin government here and russia and the russian government overall didn't have very high expectations of the biden and ministration from the get go but i do think they had hoped for kind of biden being a more reliable u.s. president in some ways when it comes to talks when it comes to shared goals and issues like for exist for example arms control and i think that they hope going forward as well that they will be able to keep some kind of a bare bones relationship going but i think for a leader like flooding there putin who definitely values personal ties and personal relations with leaders when it comes to diplomatic relations between countries i think this is certainly a bad start for that putin biden relationship going forward and reporting from moscow thank you. the other stories making news around the world. several allies of jailed russian opposition leader figure rather alex and of all the have gone on trial in moscow along with 2 members of the band pus

i'll begin with russia. russia sees the information sphere as a key do main for modern military conflict. russia has prioritized a development of forces and means for information confrontation in a wholistic concept for ensuring information superiority since at least the 1920s. russia wages this struggle for information dominance during peacetime and armed conflict. with equal intensity using combined electronic and kinetic means and methods through information technical information psychological and active measures. the russian claims nato countries led by the united states have created a powerful information operation system and are expanding and approving it. russia sees the information domain differently than the united states and its allies and partners. russian publications and actions indicate the government maintains a wholistic consent of information confrontation specifically information confrontation seeks to dominate the information domain through a combination of what it defines as information t

russia doesn't react there are. he still require a way to his provocation because he's a communication war a provocation under washoe weights. and they read probably your deny of course who will precision zz but not good or react to weed for over provocations and the way to weigh what she's going to come off to waltz of from the united states but also her reaction from the europeans and riyadh going to see if for is going to be. photo by your read provocations on the ground for example or a nice kind of nation in ukraine could be following and then know for. wave of sanctions and oversaw targeting or russia it said if austria if seen if you know about me affair and assess say your reactions of europeans would be important because vietnam ricans went to and 9 europeans on the or girl about geopolitical objectives yeah i mean do you think a lot rides then on on the sort of reaction to sanctions in america takes now against russia could because that would be an indication really of how serious they feel about the accus

they need not to really russia and they will say not to real china for them to china and russia like symbols and that in turn cold takes. in this situation and so it's very difficult to talk seriously about real stuff some express here in russia believe that there is only one area. in which the americans are genuinely deeply interested in discussing it with russia and that's with a b. strategic stability which includes to russia's new generation of weapons and the fact that the biden administration extended a new star stricken by another 5 years seems to have given it a break to develop a similar technology because otherwise if it was doing negotiate with russia it would be a it and if you're in a position and that's clearly an unbearable for the americans but in the absence of such weapons to persona crap and no talk is advisable gee agreement that that that the americans deliberately had out any apples ability of constructively in gauging regression it's actually the russia that is trying to compel them to go walking and chewing the gum but they're simply the only thing that the in

i will answer your questions on russia. well, if i may, let's get to russia... to russia in a moment. let us just stick with what you've said. surely one of the problems here is that this isn'tjust about partisan polarisation. it goes deeper than that. the prime minister of your country resigned over this issue, mr gakharia. he would not tolerate the arrest of mr melia, so he quit the government. and now, your new prime minister is a hard—liner, mr garibashvili, who has said that as far as he's concerned, the opposition is a gang of traitors. so, if you're talking about trends here, the trend we see is of georgia being led by an increasingly authoritarian government, perhaps more in the style of belarus, maybe even of mr putin's russia, than of western europe. well, first of all, you're making affirmations that i certainly cannot accept. i cannot accept, as a truly european leader, i wouldn't be in georgia if georgia was anything closer to belarus or closer to putin's russia. i think that this is insensitive when talking about a country that has territories occu

russia moscow called the russian ambassador in the u.s. back home for consultation but still hopes that the normalization of the relationships between the 2 nations is still possible. for us the main thing is to determine ways of improving russian u.s. ties which in a difficult state washington has in fact brought those to a dead end in recent years we are interested in preventing they irreversible degrade ation if the americans realize the risks associated with that this will be discussed you're in consultations between the russian foreign ministry and other relevant departments and with the russian ambassador to washington so again this is a tough time for the relationship between the 2 countries but as you've noticed you know there is a stark difference in the language that is being used by joe biden and lattimer putin. so that he was ok thanks for the update that was consenting protocol. so what is the new threat for this are you washing out international is good to have you company don't forget plenty of stories on our website and you

lavelle using the media the biking ministration has made it clear it may launch cyber attacks on russia this is a colossal mistake we tell you why and who exactly is running the u.s. government is biden really in charge. to discuss these issues and more i'm joined by my guest when these men in the house so he is a professor at the university of southeastern norway as well as author of the new book great power politics in the 4th industrial revolution and in budapest we cross to george said he well he is a podcast or i think which can be found on you tube and rumple originally crossed out rules in effect that music can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it i mean let's go to glen 1st and oslo the by did ministration using media as telegraph the administration is considering some cyber attacks in one form or another against russia remarkably they're telling the world they're going to do this here why is this a bad idea as i said in my introduction because i think there's a law of unintended consequences if we start down this path go ahead. well it's their craziest story and

russia has a blank. look on the thousands that. we have a generation reborn brought you for that this was just. you sick of all while assembled wrong imo propped up the could have been the can because of how big the coup or been because about risky. because our force is going to watch us it scares. well i think all the extra sunico. roger was formed here in a poor district of cars a blanket of silicone. russia supporters are like a great clan all linked by a loaf of their team cafe verde as a gathering place for the elders of the family here they take coffee and talk football. and you know when over the weekend and hold up let's look at some. of them tonight roger face egyptian giants in the semifinal of the african champions league the man can talk of nothing else. and what he was not going to. do it got to the highway presumably that amongst them is out there like. he's an urban historian of russia. and. a beautiful woman on the right idea about the end of. summer you know i mean i had a fundamental academic in the office and hum

have some concern so to say about russia's expanding military presence in russia. and they're not wrong vladimir putin would surely come in now and say the russians coastline makes 53 percent of the arctic ocean there are $2000000.00 russians living in the arctic region he would say it's good and right that russia is the top dog of the russian or is the most important nation in the region. well russia is not the most important nation in the region 1st of all let's say that way 'd most of their resources which are proven in the arctic they are actually already they are located in the russian part of the south it's clear it's over 90 percent so we don't argue with that but if we see see from the point of view who are to belong to i mean of course there is that international written legislation which regulates the issue of a un convention on the law of the sea which says that every country only has the 1st 200 sea miles for itself and not more and if you want more you have to go through a long procedure so basically russia is tied by the international legislation just

the director of russia's f.s.b. .

its economy eclipses that of russia it's a military spending is enormous. in the future there might be efforts and we're seeing the beginning the beginnings of those now to sort of try and contain china by the european union by the united states they've tried this with russia and in the better half of a decade the sanctions have you know resulted in absolutely nothing that they wanted russia is still behaving in a way that russia wants that suits its national interest and they have begun sanction in charge of the style of the latest sanctions the chinese foreign ministry says to do with the people's rights violations as the europeans put a. the european ambassador was summoned the chinese protested the decision but all timidly in the future when we have the european commission's issuing reports saying that they're incredibly worried about china and russia growing all buddy buddy their relations you know grow inclusive military ties political ties this is the point that they should look back on this is when they drew for russia and china together and the rus

russia is making use of all available tools in its fight against. corona is one of the 3 domestically produced vaccines now in circulation they say safe 100 percent effective at producing. can fight off mutant strains well we were invited to visit the high security area where it's all being me. this sign is probably worth a 1000 words because we are in one of the few places in the world where it has been plastered against the door not for cool looks not for show but as an actual warning behind this door is one of the world's 2 largest virus collections some of them so deadly they make covert 19 look like an allergy and this door has been put in case of an emergency evacuation and luckily it has never been used for its purpose we are at the vector research institute met here with armed guards barbed wire and the no fly zone above us inviting journalists is worlds apart from common practice here but they're eager to show and talk about how their jab corona is made so this machine is where the work on the vaccine begins basically an inactivated virus f
