u. s. than everyone else has combined resources to co, back from these other these other things that they are the same as the u. s. is but there has been a lot of questions about how slow the u. s. has been in trying to get those vaccines out. he's not pledged 200000000 days since 900 days for the developing well, but the problem is that the entire philosophy that we began with that now that we have on the chrome, that's why we should talk it in the booster shots. and that's why we, you know, we, even the healthy out of those people who are at risk to get results any way that entire philosophy has been questioned by the world health organization repeatedly, just in the last 40 hours, we just check that was a speech by the director general w h i saying no. first of all there's no evidence that the booster shots help people who have only con yet anyway. but secondly, they say, look, you want to prevent variance. you can't be giving booster shots, people who aren't a particular risks. you have to start getting those out to the developing world. and clearly this is a very different philosophy. shandra jones, you thank you very much. richar

there's been quite a pattern of escalation of the u. s. media has been playing up this idea that russia is planning an invasion of ukraine. a russia has been adamant that they are not doing any such thing. we now have joe biden coming forward and saying that as a result of his recent talks with putin or the threat of russia supposedly invading ukraine ah, has been lifted up. but we have various voices in us media who were saying they're not so sure about biden's effectiveness in terms of diplomacy. and they think there could be a danger of war on the horizon. here's some of what we've heard. do you not discount no matter how far fetched it may seem a hot war with russia? yes, that is a lunatic idea. but that doesn't mean joe biden won't do it. now these statements don't seem baseless, if you look at what's actually been taking place along the border, you can talk about the intensification of activity from u. s. strategic bomber aviation. and russia has come forward and said that the united states is actually we're hersey rocking, dropping

a memorial has been held to mark the 80th anniversary of the japanese attack on the u. s. naval base. pearl harbor o. bombing in hawaii, in 1941 killed 2390 americans. the u. s. had been neutral and the 2nd world war until that attack president franklin roosevelt. then declared war on japan the very next day. he famously describe it as a date which will live in infamy or meanwhile, officials in hawaii, a warning of catastrophic flooding. and coming days as a storm sweeps through the island, it's bringing high winds and heavy rains that have already closed flooding and the capital, honolulu, its down electricity lines, causing power outages across the island. while the death toll from indonesia is volcanic eruption has now risen to $34.00 with many more still missing the body of a 13 year old boy is one of the latest to be recovered from the ash and the mud for the volcanic activity. and rain has hampered search efforts. while the u. s. has now sent its 1st group of asylum seekers back to mexico after controversial trompe or a policy was reinstated. president joe biden sus

u. s. been involved in any way? well, i don't think it's a surprise at all for the united states, and i should clarify that i was very actively involved in the 2009 process when i was. ready the u. s. mediator between us or by john and armenia, and at that time, president brock obama was strongly encouraging the reconciliation. this time the united states hasn't played that role effectively has well, really lost a lot of its significance in the region over the course of the last couple of presidencies. but especially since a year ago in july when they were military clashes along the us or by john armenia border before the 2nd time about war. and the u. s. wasn't really involved at all in the mediation with russia and turkey that, that filled a diplomatic vacuum. so i know that the president biden supports the reconciliation of our up turkey and armenia. and i know that the actual johnny government, as richard was just saying, would like to see reconciliation, armenia with both officer by john and with turkey, you kn

u. s. have been easing quarantine rules for those infected erin sorrow as an assistant professor, microbiology and immunology at georgetown university. she says the science backs the u. s. cdc's decision to shorten the recommended time violation. it's still a 10 day process, and this is something that was developed and, and decided on, based on the science that we've gathered on oma. and the idea is that if you test positive, you isolated home for 5 days, and if you are asymptomatic or if you clear your symptoms, therefore you don't have a fever after 24 hours or for at least 24 hours, i should say. then that is followed by a 5 day period where you should be masking around others. so it's still 10 days. it's just now 5 days. so my solution and then 5 days of wearing a mask. if you have cleared your symptoms or if you have always been asymptomatic and that's based on what we're understanding on the replication and transmission rates of all micron for a delta, i think it's important to consider that that 10 day quarantine at home for those that are on vaccinated, they really need to stay at home

u. k. i have to see with this on to stories going anywhere up to the grounds that have been tested mean that the medical condition has not been overturned by the u. s. all that has been overturned. is this idea of diplomatic assurances and we know from recent information provided both in the u. k. adam saying that the u. s. is diplomatic assurances are not work. the paper they're written on. there are several instances of people who were given assurances and who would then, you know, in the us treated up to a very different kind of the other thing they've, the judges have taken a decision on is the fact that he will not be detained on the sounds but sounds enough or session addresses and measures are not the only extreme isolation measures that the u. s. does they use various names for? they said it would be quite a mockery of justice. if we fail, we won't use sound good, we'll use something else and that's what the u. s. is doing. and getting away with we are hearing of course such an assault is out of high risk of suicide, a 175 years behind prison bars is an extraordinary amount of time. what will we see if you're an assigned is extradited to th

the problem is it's been built up in the u. s. media, this russian invasion that's meant to happen, according to intelligence sources and january both sides, both democrat and republican of kind of bought into this narrative. so that might hamper any efforts by biting ministration to want to be seen as the piece savior and come and do some interim deal. there's going to be pressure on from democrats, not to do that to be more aggressive. and you know what the republicans are. are aiming for on this, they want to see more attention ratchet it up. so because that's good for the military industrial complex. so it's a, it's not a good situation politically this week, the week administration that you have in the white house now is not good at all for this situation. so that's one thing that a lot of people should be very concerned about. you know, just that we got one more minute here, joe, joe biden desperately needs a when somewhere. and this could be that even if he tries to deescalate, with the limited lo off pain thinkers around

u. s. in britain to drive military defense sales for instance. so they need markets and they need situations where this can happen. and if you look at the amount of weapons that the u. s. has been pumping and military aid, they've been pumping into ukraine. this is effectively from a u. s. side. this is corporate welfare. this is what john mccain's job was while he was sen was to look for opportunities and markets where they can channel a product in there that's paid for by the us taxpayer. for all these defense contractors, now that job is taken over by senator tom cotton, marco rubio, and people like this. they've taken that torch. so there's that. plus there's this kind of nato is having an existential crisis. we all know it, everyone's talking about it. even donald trump remarked on this in his own way, in his own bull she way he remarked on this during his presidency. so it is kind of an alliance. it's an organization that doesn't really, it's not attached to its original purpose at all. everybody kind of knows this, and i think it's, it's good that russia has gone for this reset right now. and that's going to really bring this into the light of day where you can have this

u. s. intelligence had been surprised by this, of course, you know, if u. s. intelligence has been completely gutted in china, as you know, stacy came out earlier this year. the united states lost the entire network in china. there was over 30 people executed. they were hacked in all the cia assets or in china, had been gone for 2 to 3 years. so doesn't surprise me. they have no intelligence on this. i mean, we're under, like you just said industrial, we're in an institutional collapse of some current. you can see at the military, you can see it in the money printing. you can see in the lack of being able to get anything done. and that's where we're at also like if you turn into the cable news and particularly m s on be c. like half of the tv presenters are like celebrity intelligence. bimbo. so they're, they're cia agents, f, b i, agents. and they're like on television instead, which kind of reminds you of the end of the roman empire, like there's a sort of bimbo vacation going on and you know, who doesn't want to be a celebrity instead of like going out th

been on the table as since 2008. but russia considered that the u. s. is operating on it's doorstep that been us naval exercises with ukranian troops in the black sea. turkey has been supplying drones to crane on the u. s. military has also been supplying the ukrainian military all of these things. russia is, does not want to see happening. again, it has been looking for guarantees that it won't, the white house, joe biden, not able to give guarantees that putin is looking for probably bought him a person. has this bargaining chip. he has these troops gathered on the border with ukraine and estimate, suggest protect from u. s. military satellites. that if they, by the end of january, the early still have some $175000.00 troops there. and they'll be in a position to invade. should vladimir putin decide to do that? and it's pretty easy to get that actually there's been a kind of cold conflict rumbling on, hasn't since 2014. how does that play into everything while ukraine? yes. the mean, one of the major complaints has been the agreements reached the chief

u. s. would fortify nato allies on the eastern flank. it also looks like the u. s. will joined the minsk agreements. these are the stalled peace accords. the u. s. has not been party to these agreements, and i think russia hadn't really wants the u. s. to join in. it would be an opportunity to revitalize these discussions. but when you read the statements, but moscow and the united states want very different things that the point that jumps out me to me the most is that moscow is, is saying they're, they're engaging. and what about is them? they're blaming nato. and they're blaming key of for the aggression. they're not taking responsibility. this crisis is far from being result. victor, a leverage in belgrade. i'm sure you want to respond to some of that, but i want to ask you as well. russia has said that these fears about a russian invasion are unfounded. if that's the case, what a president puts his intentions over ukraine and what's behind the, the troop build up near its border with ukraine? well, a master full scale invasion of ukraine is simply not in russia's national interests . first of all, russia does not really have the resources to maintain ma
