u. s. also, russia has been behind so called solar wind hacking campaigns. in 20202021. 1 of the most sophisticated cyber high recent years infiltrated the software of government agencies and american firms. in april j, biden's government impose abroad series of sanctions on russian individuals and organizations. the united states also expelled russian diplomats. so let's bring in under a quote not who's director general of the russian international affairs council, joins us from moscow by skype was good enough. welcome to the program. joe biden opened up this opportunity did need to what degree will kind these to work together? well, i think it depends on whether to day you select the most divisive issues to start with, or they would go for a low hanging fruits. i think that the all job that they can agree on arms control to continue ego. she should be on the extended to new start agreement. they can probably agree on a number of regional issues, mostly see to each other and strategically. and our ideally, they should also agree to or somehow stop the diplo

u. s. in russia need to be sitting down at a table and communicating, given the stake, the issues that, that, that are on the table. the u. s. president says he is not looking for conflict with food and but if us intelligence is correct, hooton's russia has been working non stop to create conflicts with the us. so how do these 2 leaders? how do they talk about that without talking around that? yeah, well i think there's going to be, again, a lot of straight talk from this present president biden about these challenges already. you've seen it in the u. s. response in terms of both sanction but also again in terms of how it is approaching some of these issues with russia, including on cyber. and i think that's particularly important that the us present send those strong messages right now, is it diplomacy? this is one meeting. this may lead to additional meeting to after that, but i do think that you're going to feel a little bit of a, talking over each other when it comes to each other's points of view. mr. brewton is, is not a democracy. it's been a soccer, see. and he makes a decision about

u. s. s. port, russia and china together. the u. s. has put iran into that axis, everything the u. s. claims to be fighting against it's actually promoting overseas, which makes me wonder, are they really that stupid or is this whole thing just a big game, to keep the military industrial complex, churning and churning and those millions of dollars going into the pockets of the well connected inside the beltway, i don't know the answer, peter. i think daniel, they're both true at the same time. ok, given this professional managerial class and international relations or domestic, anything they touch, they destroy. ok. and i think it's, it's greed, it's hubris in their ideologically blind. ok, and this is what the result of it. and you know what, daniel, the world can move on. ok if the u. s. you know, once to say it owns all the marbles on the playground, you know, and walks off with them fine, there's a world beyond the united states. okay. and the d dollarization that's going on left and right across the world it's, it's again, self inflicted here. let me, let me go to the glen her

u. s. was thinking about nuclear weapons and that leads to russia limited nuclear limited nuclear use. we've gone from a piece of mystery code found in the wrong place to a nuclear attack. how did that happen? well, let's do what governments can't do in that situation when price pause slow things down for a moment and peace them back together. because this is how a regional crisis can turn into a catastrophic war in the heat of a crisis with russia, the u. s. detect malware and it's early warning networks, fearing it could be russian codes aimed at disabling systems. it retaliate with a cyber intrusion, turning into rushes networks. now the nuclear capabilities are being threatened and scattered its land base weapons to avoid possible attacks. when this is picked up by the west, washington disperses its own forces. so the same reason, fearing eminent nuclear attack, russia far as the ultimate warning show, a small nuclear missile aimed as a target that would involve minimal casualties. like a naval ship out, see, you can see the 1st use of nuclear weapons that literally kills nose to b

this is how a regional crisis can turn into a catastrophic war in the heat of a crisis with russia, the u. s. detect malware in its early warning networks, fearing it could be russian codes aimed at disabling systems. it was with the cyber intrusion of italian into russia. russia now sees its nuclear capabilities of being threatened, and scarcity, it's land based weapons. roy, possible. when this is picked up by the us, washington disperses its own nuclear forces for the same reason. fearing in a nuclear attack, russia far as the ultimate warning shop, a small nuclear missile. and it's a target that would involve minimal casualties, like a naval ship. to see, you can see the 1st uses nuclear weapons that literally kills no civilians use of military custody. i mean, relative, you know, we use of nuclear weapons against a ship off from any land. a military vessel might only kill, we say there's on board that vessel and those 2 days. while the immediate damage may be limited, these crosses the threshold called nuclear 1st use. which ever side does this? they've made the situation series. won't

u. s. russia summit. and i know there are a lot of hype around this meeting, but it's pretty straightforward to meet the meeting. one, there is no substitute as those you cover me for a while now for face to face dialogue between leaders. none and president put and i had a share unique responsibility to manage the relationship between 2 powerful and proud countries. a relationship that has to be stable and predictable. and it should be able that we should be able to cooperate words in our mutual interest. and where we have differences. i want to present, put and understand why i say what i say. and why i do what i do and how will respond to specific kinds of actions that harm america's interest. now, i told president bush, my agenda is not against russia, or anyone else. it's for the american people. fighting covered 90, rebuilding our economy, reestablish the relationships around the world are allies in french and protecting the american people. that's my responsibility as president. i also told me that

in the heat of a crisis with russia and the u. s. detect malware and its early warning networks, fearing it could be russian code aimed at disabling systems. it retaliate with a cyber intrusion of its own, into rushes, and that was rushing now sees the nuclear capabilities being threatened and scattered its land based to avoid possible. when this is picked up by the washington disperses, it's only for the same reason, fearing eminent nuclear attack. russia far as the ultimate warning shop, a small nuclear missile, and a target that would involve minimal casualties. like a naval ship. to see, you can, can see the 1st research that literally kills no civilians. you assume number of military customers relatively, you know, we use of nuclear weapons against a ship. it's feast off from a military vessel might only kill. we say there's on board that vessel and while the immediate damage may be limited, these crosses the threshold called nuclear 1st use. which ever side does this face made the situation day when you cross that threshold nu

concessions, and probably they will not soon be any agreement on the nature of nato. russia has some view on this. the u. s. has its hue of nato as a be so alliance. russia doesn't think so. so what i think can be done is to reach agreement about the escalation of military activities. no, right now there's a lot of things happening very close to the line of contact between russia and major military exercises, overflights, ships, incidents. so there's been some incidence. there may be more so i think that agreement to de escalate military activities to perhaps hold them in areas that are not closely why in a context would be useful whether this could be discussed to achieve that the summit. i don't know, but i do know that there are recommendations from a large group of experts from native countries and russia. about to d. s, toiling, military activities, maneuvers and exercises. i actually signed those one of the long more than 200 experts. so sign b recommendations on this. i do hope that they will be useful to the leaders probably shanker, we really appreciate your time, but you have one final question a

u. s. russia summit. geneva has been enjoying a summer heat wave diplomat. so hoping the talks to will get off to the sunny stars . christian himself sounding up beat. any more deal of the stomach will help restore our personal contacts and establish a direct dialogue. we can cooperate. the american side are talking the same way and i generally agree with them. areas of mutual interest include strategic stability, regional conflicts, and protecting the global environment. we can work together effectively if you will . i'm one of the frightens republican predispose that donald trump was keen to play up his personal relations with other world leaders, including boots in well good at, but even before taking office in january biden has maintained a much tougher line on russia actually agreeing on american television that he thinks putin as a killer adversaries. and in fact, the leaders have met before 10 years ago when fight and was us vice president. he later revealed, he had told putin, he didn't believe the russian leader had a soul. biden's 1st overseas tour

u. s. russia summit up, the biden presidency, sees them agree to return that perspective. ambassadors back to that post. so let me put and also add a bit of caution. i have no illusion following the meeting needs the old no new. they can't be any illusions at all. while the us president was apparently left somewhat confused by the summit mixing up his counterpart with his predecessor, i caught part of the prejudice truck food press conference migrants as migrants continue to.

the us administration is trying to refrain from policies that drive a russia and china closer together? well, it's not only the u. s. administration and now is the fact that there western nations west and math when the western ministers and leaders had been constantly prompting russia explaining to the russians past. we did refuse to understand that china is a huge threat for them potentially. and russia ship kind of begin moving away a bit from china, not getting too close. we golf by china. that's really not working right now at all. russia, china relations are getting even stronger and stronger. and just several we, couple of weeks ago it was announced that russia is transferring all the dollars and sovereign fund. and that's well, quite a lot of 1000000000, tens of millions of dollars into chinese currency, partially into europe, but the out of dollars. so russia is kind of putting the money there, and most likely this conversion of, of these, of this fund. i mean, the central bank will continue to have dollars, and russian exports bring 80 percent of the exports is paid in dollars. so converting it into a chin

russia politics as usual. this commonality came much to the chagrin of the u. s political press corps whose blood loss was on flagrant blay, both before and after the meeting. you know, it's interesting because this game of changing faces but unchanging policy.

u. s. russia. the summit in switzerland's with donna asking what the last thing i'd come will be that is right ahead in world, particularly the the the the me, the me a lot of welcome to all the current politics is still primarily the reality of alpha males, especially when it comes to interaction in russia and the united states with thousands of nuclear ship rockets pointed at one another with this week's while actual simon in geneva lodge put in. and joseph biden seems to have put the march your politics aside and even agreed that they bear the responsibility for managing the relationship between the countries. how long will this commitment last want to discuss that? i'm now joined by i'm the person, the director general of the russian international affairs council. mr. cord. nothing great to see you again. thank you for talking. john. welcome. now you've been following the, you are sodium, the huge russian relationship. since the very beginning of your career, i'm sure you've seen quite a number

u. s. does not pay opposition leaders in russia, and we know that's totally false. the u. s. 3 usa id and the national endowment for democracy is funding opposition. movements and media arms all around the globe from across russia to russia's periphery in bella, luce, to nicaragua, and venezuela. and they create these maximal listed rejection, is opposition, forces that exist solely to perpetuate regime change. and so when these reporters were badgering putting about nevada, they were unable to accept his response, which was that we don't want to see something like what you saw on january 6 with a movement of insurrection just russia is facing a movement. pushing for machine change. and so the way that the u. s. media understands this, is that the u. s. has no possible role inside russia when we just saw on video, the outgoing director of the national endowment for democracy. carl grossman, someone who has gone in the wash written in the washington post a call for regime change in moscow. boasting that the any d has an entire network inside russia and that lack of context i

u. s. and russia to deploy no more than 1550 nuclear warheads. but biden agreed to a 5 year extension shortly. artery took, offers russia and says any future arms control packed must cover missile defense systems that it considers d, stabilizing the u. s. as rushes of thousands of reported tactical nuclear weapons that are not covered by start was also be on the table. well, beatrice friend is executive director at the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons. and she says the us in russia must make a strong commitment towards nuclear reduction. every time the us and russian presidents get together, we have to remember that these 2 people, individuals have the power to end the world as we know it. so nuclear weapons is always going to be a massive issue that they're going to have to deal with. and we've seen the last few years. radiation between relations withdraw from bilateral agreements, huge modernization programs, global spending on nuclear up us increasing. so really we've, we've kind of a dangerous situation. the risk of nuclear w

u. s. russia, china, they're all testing each other out. they, they're testing their probing critical infrastructure like electricity grids, even water supplies, that some of the scarier stuff. and then there's these ransomware guys who seem to be targeting gps as well. it's unclear how much affiliation they have with states. there does seem to be some but you know, these guys were pretty small ball for a long time. in the county, i come from in georgia in the u. s. it got attacked by ransomware. i think last year, the year before paid $400000.00 for these were the typical targets because they were, they were small, they were unprotected. they were below the radar. now they're getting bigger and it's going to be interesting to see what happens because, you know, modern commerce has allowed for certain vulnerability. there's more automation, for example, j b us, there's multiple scanning and data input along every bit of the process and higher networking, but they're also highly centralized the pipeline for example. so that once you bring do

u. s. russia, cold war and dictatorships in 2018. it was estimated that 73 percent of the congress population lived on less than $1.90 a day. that's the international poverty, right? so shocking to realize the country is still being exploited. a coalition of congo leaves and international organizations urge the government to review the deals with israeli. billy and dan, good luck. they say the d. c could lose out $3700000000.00 in revenue because of deal struck with gutless mining operations. it's worth mentioning gertley has been sanctioned by the us for a legit corruption and struck the deal with his close friend the former president of congo. so let's get into the stand and it's worth mentioning that gertley has denied all wrong doing and is never actually been charged with a crime. with joining us via skype from kinshasa is jimmy can day. he's president of eunice and the member of the coalition, congo is not for sale. good to have you with us. so jimmy explained to us 1st how they've got them build and own this multi $1000000000.

u. s. russia, turkey and egypt talks will focus on pan elections in december as well as the removal of foreign faces. we share the goal of a sovereign stable unified, secure libya, free from foreign interference. it's what the people will be deserve. it's critical to regional security as well for that to happen. national elections need to go forward in december, and that means urgent agreement is needed on constitutional and legal issues that would undergo those elections and the october 23rd cease fire agreement has to be fully implemented, including, by withdrawing all foreign forces from livia. while delegates at that conference will be hoping to build on the progress that's been made during the last 18 months . and january last year, another bell and conference leaders agreed to uphold the un arms and bugger and pushing the b as warring sides towards a full face fire. just 9 months later, they reached a deal to end hostilities. it included a demand that thousands of foreign fighters leave with a 90 days, but that hasn't happened on the arms of continue to come in. but the agreement did set

u. s. the u. k, switzerland, portugal, japan, poland, maple, china and russia. and they are trying to get the delta plus under control, which is something that they weren't able to do with the original delta variant, which we haven't balls and to get and abroad. we have the white house chief medical adviser to add to the fact you're saying on tuesday that the original delta variant is america's greatest threat to get included on the control while. and just one month, the world's attention will shift to took care for the delayed 2020 summer olympic games purchased as have been using the occasion to gather outside the japanese olympic headquarters. calling on the government to cancel the games. in a poll, just last month, more than 80 percent of participants said they don't want b lympics to even go ahead. japan health care system is currently struggling with this pandemic and people are worried about a new such and the capital. meanwhile, olympic organizes have imposed a bad on alcohol as part of tough new rules for spectators. they say the usual festive mood at

u. s. russia, some of the vital presidency. critics predict. what could conversations coming up in question of the peck and come up with a big research relations end of the day? but on a positive note, the us leader has said he's willing to cooperate with russia in libya. what actually man, syria, when you get the point, there's a lot going on where we can work together with russia. for example, in libya, we should be opening up the the, the task to be able to go through and provide, provide food assistance in economic, i mean vital assistance to a population that's in real trouble. on wednesday, geneva said to become the arena for the much anticipated face to face, which potent and biden of each been preparing themselves in very different manners . as in portraying her, explains, the closer we get to the grand show down in geneva, the more we find out about what the leaders have in store for each other, but maybe show down isn't the right word. the rushing prize didn't says he's not in for a fist fight at all, but we have always try to behave

if you fails to achieve a common approach to russia and china with the u. s. the west, duped sound the warm welcome to to search and found some from t w's asia desk, who argues that the us, china, and russia have more in common with each other, and europe should not take sides. interesting, come until 3, thanks very much. thank you very much to for being here and i'm going to begin with you matthew. it's been a very intense week of diplomacy for joe biden in europe. we had a better place now than we were before all the talking began. i think so. i think he made clear that the united states remains very dedicated to europe and wants to keep the alliance intact and is hoping that the europeans will join him in confronting both russia and china in the years ahead. and there seems to be at least an openness to these ideas in terms of the atmosphere with russia. i think he also succeeded in calming the waters a bit. i don't think the 2 of them are not buddies. they're not going to be best buddies. they didn't look into one another's eyes and they shook hands and had

u. s. president joe biden and russian president vladimir putin . a meeting in geneva after putin declared the u. s. russia relationship is deteriorated to its lowest point in years. this comes off the back of the nato and g 7 summit, where despite machinations, arguably uniting over their distrust of russia and china. the agreement was actually made between the u. k and the u over the highly contentious with an island protocol. joining me now for analysis from brussels is the independence for change . emmy peter dublin. clare daily. thanks so much clarify. finally, coming on, going underground. obviously the talk here will be no valley and by the russian government there will be talk was continuing talk about china and hopefully about nuclear disarmament. why for you is the imprisonment of julian assange sought by the job, by new ministration for maybe a 175 years in prison. why is he so important in the context of geopolitics and the, and the meeting today? well, i suppose her son just case really exposed to prophecy all the european union and see us and constantly lecturing russia about human rights und

u. s. russia and china that they would not law cyber intrusions, against each other's nuclear commander control systems. the idea would be that if you detected another state in your network, the deal was often you could go off to that network. and so in this way, you'd hope to force the security with neutral deterrents. but remember that problem of entanglement of systems involved in nuclear and non nuclear operations. that's going to make it very difficult to define what model control aspects are included in this what component control. so you'd have to have some pretty difficult and sensitive negotiation states ready for yes. and as the world deeper into the era of great power competition, the challenge will be for the big 3 to call out areas like this, where they compare mutual interest above the visceral drive to be on top. that is the spirit of arms control. i don't, i don't think it's possible that you know these parents, which, which are we do opponents and may eventually become even more adversarial can come together and agree on certain minimum requirements. simply because it i

russia is not mobile right now away from john and at all. okay, glenn, what do you think about the, the china issue? i mean, the, some reports seem to suggest that the u. s. is seeking to sort of, quote, unquote, normalize relations with russia. mainly because of china, do you agree with that? well, the united states open about to decide to travel, which between china and russia, has to be points out that the russia now only given up the goal is to create the effective date. great through europe. the china has now become its name and most important partner in terms of creating a new economic infrastructure coming everything from autonomous, the technology of transportation for those banking and across the board. and obviously the sanctions against russia has increased or intensified this development to great extent, but i think it's open the top rated that concerns the rosshouse about china. so far, china has been pretty much in the deal park before russia. this idea that his tears being the junior brother, i think that's also saturated, because the russian doesn't really have any hedge him on the conditions across the, the ration space subtle. and also

russia. they're coming from countries like the u. s. the u. k. in germany, france. yet somehow, none of these countries have been designated as level for threats. apparently, according to the state department of the mythical threat. terrorists and russia is far greater than everything that's been happening in europe over the past few years . here's just a few examples of open to terrorism investigation after a police employee was stamped to death at the police station near paris. a terror attack in vienna, austria leave. 2 people dead, including one of the gunmen 15 others are wounded 7, seriously. this is the 3rd terror attack in just over a month in france, becky, and the 1st 2 were connected to the republication and friends of cartoons news tonight about the deadly terror attack outside of paris. perhaps we should point out that it's not that long ago that we're hearing it by term stable, unpredictable relations to bite administration saying that's what they wanted with and from russia. how does that fit with these developments? well, basically

u. s. imposing sanctions on russia. but in an apparent friendly move, the white house wave sanctions against the gas pipeline from russia to the european union. ever. lucas is a senior fellow at the center for european policy analysis. please say join us from london, skype. really welcome to the program. as the innocent, you say this is already a successive lead me preaching because, you know, before even got the play they've been invited by joe biden and the areas showing up in russia that the top table yes, you're right, name that. so russia, which has an economy, the size of italy to be treated as one of the world's great cause, is very important. it's important in terms of maintaining preaching credibility around the world and his popularity inside russia. because russians their country to be respected and treated as if it was really important. but the question is, what, what happens next? and it seems to me that he wants to park the russia problem. he doesn't really want to reset relations the way that president ob

u. s. resolve the 17 year bathroom, over aircraft subsidies. the deal suspense, harris for 5 years from boeing and airbus with ties between russia and the u. s. that new lows president joe biden. and letting me have who can are preparing commute in geneva on wednesday. the agenda is expected to include cyber crime, election, meddling on control and human rights. climate change could now be irreversible because we may already be past the global tipping point. that's according to the scientists to lead the world's biggest ever expedition to the north pole. 300 scientists from 20 countries were involved in the mission which spent more than a year drifting through the arctic ice, bringing back proof better planets. northern most ocean is dying. the spread of sea ice in the summer has decreased by half in just a few decades. temperatures were also 10 degrees higher and the ice half a thick compared to records taken during a historic expedition in the 18 ninety's. that means the ocean is absorbing, more heat in the summer, and that ice sheet formation in the alton they slower than usual. so come to the ice doctors, welcome to that. if can the arcti

and i think that all 3 of these economies, both russia, the u. s. and china have huge human rights violations. and they have very different political systems. but all 3 are struggling with serving social justice back home. and i think that, you know, the main issue is actually the competition between competing economies by 3 countries that are led by 3 men that have, you know, frankly, a lot of hubris, arrogance, a bit of ego. if i'm, i say, and you know, they all want to be at the top of the world, you know, all 3 of them. and we are framing this as a kind of a clash of values over the world. you know, that's kind of dividing everyone between east and west, between europe and the u. s. and asia. but in fact it's, so i think people should pay a little bit more attention that what we're actually seeing is a competition between 3 very greedy countries. all 3 of them and all 3 countries have huge human rights abuses and social injustices. well, many ordinary americans might be asking themselves who the big enemy is these days president by there is no d

u. s. russia, china, they're all testing each other out. they, they're testing their probing critical infrastructure like electricity grids, even water supplies, that some of the scarier stuff. and then there's these ransomware guys who seem to be targeting gps as well. it's unclear how much affiliation they have with states. there does seem to be some but you know, these guys were pretty small ball for a long time. in the county, i come from in georgia in the u. s. it got attacked by ransomware. i think last year, the year before paid $400000.00 for these were the typical targets because they were, they were small, they were unprotected. they were below the radar. now they're getting bigger and it's going to be interesting to see what happens because, you know, modern commerce has allowed for certain vulnerability. there's more automation, for example, j b s. there's multiple scanning and data input along every bit of the process and higher networking, but they're also highly centralized the pipeline, for example. so that once you bring do

u. s. in russia get ready to lay out their red lines. you as president joe biden has arrived in geneva on the eve of his 1st summit with russian president vladimir putin. so what can we and he expect from the talk with relations between the 2 countries already. so look, also coming up the friendly skies again, the european union and the united states. press pause on their 17 year battle over aircraft subsidies and l g b t q writes under threat in hungary. parliament passes a law making it illegal to show children books in films depicting homosexuality. ah, my brit golf is good to have you with us. you as president joe biden has arrived in geneva, switzerland saying that he is ready for a tough encounter with russia's president vladimir putin. a massive security effort has been mobilized for the meeting, which comes at a low point in us. russia relations. the list of u. s. complaints is long, expectations are low, but biden has promised to lay down clear red lines and what could be hours of talks another day, another city and force one to

u. s. embassy has, as it has had to cut back its staffing after being declared an unfriendly country here in russia. which means that there are certain restrictions on staffing, which means, for example, that the u. s. embassy essentially can even issue us visas to normal russians. so russian tourists, camp car can actually travel to the u. s. at the moment, you know, and these are really, really the bear bear basics of, of relations between 2 countries. you know, even when things are bad, arms control that you're not going to nuke each other and that you have diplomats, you know, working in the countries and keeping kind of that dialogue open. i mean, what the russians make of president biden, especially given his very different style from his predecessor president, former president donald trump. well, i think it was interesting today. vladimir putin was active, asked about the unpredictability of russian actions. and he said, well actually it's the u. s. that has been unpredictable. and i think that was definitely a sideswipe at donald trump. russia has very much portrayed donald trump in the pas

u. s. government, russia policy presumes a high degree of friction in the relationship he used to put in your new po, which at work. if tutoring gets nothing from this meeting, i think he'll show us a scary movie and it will be bad if the almost war in april wasn't enough. is september, we get a semi war? would it be difficult for moscow to send his troops into ukraine? no. as well as ukraine, there'll be plenty to talk about when both men meet in this villa on the shores of lake geneva. disputes are reelection interfere and cyber crime and human rights cast a shadow over the meeting. arms control and regional conflicts will also be on the agenda the long. i think biden's strategy is based on the fact that american society economy and technology have a future while putin's regime has no future. that's why biden doesn't need to rush . americans are not really worried about the fate of vonnie or other jailed russian opposition. members, so there will be pressure on put in but not very strong because they need to keep the communication channel open. is it even possible for the us and russia

in the heat of a crisis with russia and the u. s. detect malware and its early warning networks, fearing it could be russian codes aimed at disabling systems. it retaliate with the cyber intrusion, turning into rushes networks. now, it's nuclear capabilities are being threatened and gases. it's land based weapons to avoid possible. when this is picked up by the washington disperses its own horses for the same reason. fearing in a nuclear attack, russia far as the ultimate warning shop, a small nuclear missile. and because it target that would involve minimal casualties, like a naval ship out to see. you can conceive us 1st uses nuclear weapons. that literally kills nose to billions of military trust me relative you know, the use of nuclear weapons against a ship at sea salt from any land. a military vessel might only kill. we stayed on board that vessel of notes available. while the immediate damage may be limited, this crosses the threshold called nuclear 1st use. which ever side does this? they've made the situation day to the ser
