u. s. with deaths in kentucky alone feared to be more than 70 and the child lost during august's chaotic. u. s. withdrawal and afghanistan may have been found out. he speaks to the family that took the boy in and joined the search for his parents. do it suddenly i saw this baby on the ground crying in pain. it was too hot and the baby was just wearing a shirt. so it was difficult for me to leave him there. ah, by the way, the weekends developments and the biggest store is covered here over the past 7 days. welcome to the weekly with me calling bright 1st for your tension. so the ukraine ran high this week with russia slamming a west for fueling, the escalation and voicing concern and nato's actions in the region. moscow says they could potentially lead to a large scale conflict. the escalation occurred, offer ukranian navy ship approach to rushing waters without authorization. on thursday evening. i moved the brush are regarded as a threat to the navigational safety of other vessels in the area.

u. s. with kentucky suffering, some of the worst damage. president biden said the tonight is could be the most disastrous in american history rescuer cuz of already far more than 40 missing people amid the damage buildings and there are concerns, the number of deaths could exceed 100 shelters had been opened with the help of the red cross, and kentucky's governors declare the state of emergency his local reporter edgar costa. this is the severe destruction that we can see in many places across different states where several tornadoes have heated, really hard. the worst part here in mayfield, kentucky, the governor of the state to announce that 70 people lost their life on these tries, you get the so this is been the most devastating tornado event in our states history, the level of devastation is unlike anything i've ever seen. satellite far too many homes, that people were likely an entirely devastated this will be, i believe, the deadliest tornado system to ever run through kentucky. the devas

u. s. with ordering lot, there was conductors, and they got the, what for the, for them or she to come much water and working group. i committed just human or i'll did a i just, you know, or you got guess i missed somebody under carpet shanay. callaghan, medi gallagher with oh, many was full. the delta would be the sort of p i did. i could, well, you're not going to get a shoulder any more transmissible than delta and not what's happening. you got something which is popped up with more than 30 changes in that spike protein that we're all interested in. it's accumulated, all the mutations we've seen in different varies all in one bars. and that raises some very interesting issues about where did he come from in the 1st place. is it possible to get even more mutually what's going to happen in terms of disease severity and vaccine protection? so in any suggesting though, no divorce is still got some way to go through the more surprises in the stories that shake the way here in our se, tension spira

u. s. is facing with what they were actually doing. like that he going off journalists, pass on private email accounts in the hope that this is yes issue with the organization. a very serious issue was on the war and for google confirms to the lawyers that the case the united states, a secretly building against wiki leaks is not just paranoia. it has a case number. one of the charges is espionage with an international espionage case that it has sucked in dozens of people to its grand jury process. that has pulled in 3 warrants or from google and others, thousands of pages of information that has gone explicitly off the journals. that is what it calls a whole of government investigation. what other states called hologram investigation, which is the largest investigation ever into a publisher, which is an extra territorial maneuver by the united states to engulf foreign publishes in claims of espionage. and it's a media case, surely this is the sexiest media case ever. but nonetheless, there is something that's even sexier than an intern

u. s. air force created a threat to civilization and the fact that a catastrophe was averted over the backseat doesn't mean that the u. s. and nato can go on the risk in people's lives with impunity. the latest american war ship sailing into waters bordering russia. what issues was nature? you know, a u. s. warship has now entered the black sea. we can see it through binoculars or the crosshairs of our defense system system. a better one or multiple missile systems just across the fence. it wouldn't it. but with him look at where nato's military infrastructure is located, just a short distance from our borders in romania, poland, which once we saw, defend systems have already been deployed and they can easily be converted into offensive missile systems that targets us. it's only takes a matter of minutes to change the software. now, instinct tells me that it's a russian destroy. i was spotted steaming and to new york harbor. it would be a flaming red line for washington. but believe it or not for us all, this is a pink line at best. the real issue is nato, or rather, nato's expansion and expanded it has from this humble state in 1990 to this empire in 2020. now, back in

u. s. with deaths in kentucky alone, fear to be more than 70 and the child lost during august is chaotic. us withdrawal and afghanistan may have been found to speak.

we've been in touch with both families, the new york post. reuters the u. s. state department and the afghan refugee relief the john family say say they're eager to see the child re united with his family, although they are also happy to provide a loving home themselves. i looked up to him like my own baby. if we found his parents, we would not be able to keep you with us. of course we would hand him over his real parents. i looked off to him like he was one of my own. i have 3 daughters, but i love him too much. he was about 40 days only when we met him. we have seen difficult times with him. he is our soul and we love him too much. if his parents identify him, we will have no option but to hand him over to them. so if the parents of the child are unable to take him back, i am ready to keep this baby with me. in fact, i would not be happy to hand over the baby because we found him there. so if they don't take him, we will keep him with us. we love him during the day with our t where all hi thing for a happy ending to this story. so we will keep you updated o

u. s. troops, station in south korea. and the, the annual military exercises that the u. s conducts with south korea with the u. s . do you think of any circumstances if an agreement is ended to formerly and the war? could you see the u. s. reducing troops numbers in the peninsula? so if i were still in government, i would certainly recommend against that. somewhat ironic, i think the president boon is in ewing to pursue this and a war declaration. now in the face of again, north korean senior intransigence and also somewhat ironically is the fact that just recently earlier this month of the matter of fact, the u. s. a secretary defense met with his counterpart with their annual security consultation meeting during which a commitment was made and i'm sure that south trinity has just committed to maintaining its current force posture on the peninsula. so again, i think whereas resident moons objectives may, in fact be laudable and are probably a component of trying to establish a legacy prior to him. religion wishing power and a couple months, a legacy that he may leave behind is that that of an art and suitor who i

actually has the one that i have from a long time ago, which is why it makes the situation with regards to how the u. s. government is treating with what they were actually doing, like that he going off to a journalist, personal and private e mail accounts in the hope that this is she has an issue with the organization, a very serious issue, concern. all of you can do the warrant for google confirms to the lawyers that the case the united states is secretly building against wiki leaks is not just paranoia. it has a case number. one of the charges is espionage. ah. you have an international espionage case that it has sucked in dozens of people to its grand jury process that has pulled in through warrants or from google and others. thousands of pages of information that has gone explicitly off the journals. that is what it calls a whole of government investigation. what other states call hollow gum investigation, which is the largest investigation ever into a publisher, which is an extra territorial maneuver by the united states to engulf foreign publishes in claims of espionage and its immediate case. s

u. s. with nancy pelosi having a head down in san francisco, gavin newsom going to a close dinner party at the french laundry in california. the politicians know that it's not so scary, know that it's not so dive, but they're empowered and they want to remain that want to does raise a lot of questions for the average consumer, the average resume whenever you have politicians carrying on with their normal lives. while they're being told to stay in like down. absolutely, yes. now we've got about a minute left. we want to bring up these ongoing fishing war between france in the u. k. it sounds like it may be cooling down a little bit, for instance saying that they've got 93 percent of the fishing. like right is what they were supposed to have under the brakes that agreement. what's the latest? yes, you're right. fishing was no more. i think the both sides are pretty backed down the you had a should issued an ultimatum in terms of being off friday. and they actually even said, literally stated that

u. s. reach a new cic trilateral security pipe with australia and the u. k, which will give us trailer access to nuclear pilots, submarines. now on the economic front, there isn't anything concrete as such, but lincoln did say that the u. s. now wants to identify new opportunities for u. s. companies to operate in the region as well as for more flow of direct foreign direct investment into saudis, asian countries. thorne, sorry, a little bit. thank you. in the news ahead, the u. s. medical son reaches a $40000000.00 settlement and a price gouging case, but its former owner still faces trial. until you are time magazine named avon musk, a person of the year and sport. a jain to football is given the supersize tribute in his hometown. far i will have that and the rest of the day ah hello hope your week's off to a good start further, whether story for europe. it's a good news, bad news type scenario. so let's start with the good news and it's all about the warmth through areas of the united kingdom. central areas. talk more about that in a sec. but 1st, where

u. s. were now at 267 happening now in the north eastern part of the u. s. with places like new york city here in washington, d. c. and surrounding states. people queuing for hours in search of coven tests, and then one in for, in many communities coming back positive. now if there is some silver lining, it's the evidence that here to the omicron variant is resulting in milder infections. because while those cases of jump to some 70 percent since a week ago and number, the hospitalization has not kept pace. that's gone up by just 15 percent, but when you just look into each individual case, those are still each person occupying hospital beds and hospitals are swamped with many counties declaring local states of emergency and warning that soon these hospital beds will all be used up, bowling money, thanks for that, hardy, j. castro, the 1st live in washington. a jury in new york has found the british socialist socialite, delane maxwell guilty on 5 counts, and a sex trafficking trial charges against the former associates of the american financier and convicts of pa

u. s. foreign policy in that sphere. how do you think? what's going on with ukraine right now is going to impact of the u. s. as future foreign policy with regards to nordstrom to pipeline. because obviously russia supply has long supplied some of it's a natural gas through ukraine to europe. and the attention seem to be quite high right now. well, they are high and there's a couple of important ways that i think russia can help to stem some of this criticism. and of course, president putin has said that he will not end payments that are being made to ukraine. those essentially the, the right to lease land to move across oil across land and ukraine, even when nor string to is activated that they won't stop making those payments for the foreseeable future. and so by continuing to do that, it strengthens his argument that this is not some kind of economic weapon to put pressure on ukraine. again, germany has already said that they are watching for that they're, they're making sure that that doesn't happen, and that ukraine is harmed by this. but again, you have

u. s. and nato can go on the risk in people's lives with impunity. the latest american war ship sailing into waters bordering russia. what issues was nature? you know, a u. s. warship has now entered the block. see, we can see it through binoculars. will the crosshairs of ancestors excused him? about one or multiple missile systems just across the it would, if possible, to look at where nato's military infrastructure is located, just a short distance from our borders. in romania, holland bush plants and we saw defense systems have already been deployed and they can easily be converted into offensive missile systems that targets us. it only takes a matter of minutes to change the software distribution. now, instinct tells me that if a russian destroy was spotted steaming into new york harbor, it would be a flaming red line for washington. but believe it or not, for us all, this is a pink line at best. the real issue is nato, or rather nato's expansion. and expanded it has from this humble state in 1990 to this empire in 2020. now back in the day, russi

u. s. with kentucky suffering. some of the worst damage emergency workers have already rescued more than 40 missing people amid the damage buildings for their all concerns, the number of deaths could exceed a 100 shelters, have been opened up with the help of the red cross. and kentucky's governors declared a state of emergency his local reporter at good cost of 1st. this is the severe destruction that we can see in many places across different states where several tornadoes have heated, really hard. the worst part here in mayfield, kentucky, the governor of the state announced that 70 people lost their life on these trials you get the so the level of devastation is unlike anything i've ever seen. satellite far too many homes, that people were likely an entirely devastated the devastation we can see here in the city center. he says something that will take a long time to recuperate, but many people took the streets. we can see lots of citizens that got together to do all they can wendy's hard time with the tornadoe

in an exclusive interview with our tea, the kremlin spokesperson told us that the u. s. is becoming increasingly aggressive towards moscow. museums toneta shows too much. now we see that nato is taking an extremely aggressive position. we see mister stalsen bugs, rhetoric, we see the different u. s. leaders, rhetoric burst. they all say they don't accept any red lines. second, they say that nato will do whatever it wants. 3rd, it will do it on whatever territory it wants. 4th of all of this is aim to deter russia. we do not like that. we will do everything to insure our own interests at large in vars now linelle, a very important statement was made and the ukraine defense minister interview to you. k media. he essentially called the u. s. canada and the u. k. military to the front lines war and put out there to do that by, by passing nato veneers. so can you tell us, well, how much of a breach is that light of the red lines lie to me? putin had to find more and then, well, we have heard similar statements from a number of european capitals, including as far as i know, a

u. s. with respect to ukraine against russia, or taiwan against mainland china, or how the us stand or the proliferation of nuclear weapon to australia. the bigger question now is whether other countries will follow washington's lead and in post, similar boycotts, and how china will respond. it's always unfortunate when you know the olympics is, is politicized. but i do think that the trend in american and china relations, despite the brief moment of call that seem to be expressed in the, in the video conference between general secretary, she and president biden, that that seems to have passed. and we're back to a more overtly hostile attitude. it's interesting, of course, that american athletes will still be competing. american corporations that sponsor the olympics and broadcast out on television, of course don't want to lose out on their revenues. so i think that there's a very interesting dichotomy here between this attitude on the part of the government and the broader position of, of the o

u. s. president held virtual summits with russia's vladimir putin. he said that he has no plans to invade ukraine, but the u. s. as moscow has the mass, tens of thousands of troops in the area. pardon has threatened written with severe economic sanctions. if an attack happens now, whitehouse corresponding anyhow kit is standing by for washington dc. the 1st, let's talk to charles strap it, who's in cash on in southern ukraine. and of course, we are expecting that conversation to be happening right now. what would ukraine's president like to hear? do you think, charles i think it's fair to say that the lord mayor's uminski is going to want a hair more pledges of support. he's going to want to see the one of a better expression, more meat on the bone. we can imagine he's going to want a hair bite and telling him about a continuation of what the us called a supply of defensive capabilities. we understand at the us this year is as given around $450000000.00 worth of security assistance to ukraine. and the finals tranche of a package of around $60000000.00

u. s. with a jump of nearly 70 percent across the country. ah. what channels are there with me? so rob, reminder of all the top stories, the head of the world health organization is calling for limits to gatherings during the holiday period. dr. tundra said that there's evidence the constrain is more transmissible and kind of a vaccines, but he insisted it's still too early to say if it's milder than the delta variance, all funds are seek off this bundle. all of us want to spend time with friends and family. all of us want to get back to normal. the fastest way to do this is for all of us leaders and individuals to make the difficult decisions that must be made to protect ourselves and others. but uneven council is better than a life cancelled. it's better to cancel now and celebrate later zahn to celebrate the now and grieve later. there are warnings of looting if they does not reach storm affected regions of the philippines. tens of thousands, all without food, water and electricity since type in rise landfall on saturday. 375. people have died and 56 are still missing. rebels

u. s. law. normally something people associated with imperialism, right? so for example, if a u. s. citizen, or anybody else killed somebody outside of your jurisdiction, normally you can't be tried rights for actions that have occurred externally. thus, in a separate legal jurisdiction. but yet for some reason with the espionage act, we're saying that he can be, ah, and well imagine if the situation was reversed. if it was china, let's say i had or you had published documents, exposing waste, fraud, abuse, criminality, and other internal machinations of the chinese mackwood security. you and rene ha and you were published, you did so in the united states and then when you were visiting, i don't know you're in the philippines say. and then the chinese issue an arrest warrant for you between you and the at, towards the filipino government to get you expedited to china. and now you're facing what a 100 years or a 170 years, which is what he faces new s on since only 5 of for having obtained and published chinese national defense documents or other top secret in his case wasn't even

u. s. would impose strong economic measures in tandem with its allies. if russia were to invade ukraine, the u. s. would send more defensive material and the 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

u. s. law. normally something people associated with imperialism, right? so for example, if a u. s. citizen, or anybody else killed somebody outside of your jurisdiction. normally you can't be tried rights for actions that have occurred externally thus in a separate legal jurisdiction. but yet, for some reason, with the espionage act, we're saying that he can be, i'm, and well imagine if the situation was reversed. if it was china, let's say i had or you had published documents, exposing waste, fraud, abuse, criminality, and other internal machinations of the chinese national security. o. amberin. ha ha . and you were published, you did so in the united states and then when you were visiting i don't know you're in the philippines say. and then the chinese issue an arrest warrant for you between you and the it towards the filipino government to get you expedited to china. and now you're facing what a 100 years or a 170 years, which is what he faces new s on since only 5 of for having obtained and published chinese national defense documents or other top secret. in his case, it wasn

u. s. threatened each other with consequences over an escalating crisis in ukraine. ah, the u. s. says it stands with people of sudan after a lethal crackdown on protest was killed for people. wildfire in the us state of colorado, barn, hundreds of homes and force and evacuation of tens of thousands of people. and environmental activists in columbia appealed for protection after a violent purge of some of their leaders. with exactly 2 years ago, china told the world health organization about new and mysterious cases of pneumonia and hans city. now the world's been changed by a pandemic that killed almost 5 and a half 1000000 people on the crown and delta variance of cobra. 1900 shattering new delhi infection records in the u. s. and across europe. china has been battling to keep cova cases at 0, but now 13000000 residents in the city of sean have been locked down. it's a hub of china's industry and technology and it's struggling with the highest number of cases recorded in any chinese city this year. we're going to be having more from the city of the city of china from katrina. you

u. s. with mass looting devastating stores in major states over the last month . prompting some politicians to blame defunded the police policies. let's have a recap of some of those incidents. ah. for more on this let's cross now 2 are retired police officer dominic is oh, thanks for being with us here on our to international. it's good to get your perspective on this. so does it surprise you to find that the white house has named cove it as a factor in the recent rise in crime? no, it's just embarrassing that they're not admitting what it is. it has nothing to do with co, but it has everything to do with bell reform, and then releasing criminals right back on the street, not prosecuting properly has nothing to do a coven. in your opinion, does this suggest that the u. s. administration is really unable to deal with the situation or is it on equipped to deal with situation? i refuse to believe that the united states government is this stupid. i don't know why they're lying to the american peopl

u. s. ah, i'm robot this, and this is all 0 life. and doha also coming up the leaders of russia and the u. s . threatened each other with consequences over an escalating crisis in ukraine. ah, the u. s. to says it stands with people and saddam after a lethal crackdown of protesters killed 4 people. bonfires and the usa to colorado, burn hundreds of homes and force and evacuation of tens of thousands of people. ah, and one of africa is old anti colonial. and so the congolese rumba gets major international recognition with and exactly 2 years ago, china told the world health organization about new and mysterious cases of pneumonia and han city know, the world's been changed by a pandemic that killed almost 5 and a half 1000000 people across and delta variance covered 1900 shattering new daily infection records in the us. across europe, france has reported 200000 new cases for a 2nd day in a row, the u. s. has been recording more than 300000 cases on average for days across the atlantic. the u. k is also broken. it's daily infection talley, with over 80809000 new infections. already challenged reports from london on the al

what's emerged is that even though he's, you know, a long time individual dealing with a phone and a face at income u. s. u. s. congress and vice president. he's turned out to be a more mixed picture. it says what's important is that he has engaged with putting in with russia twice. there was the june 20 this year at summit in geneva, which was important for establishing 2 things and arms control process and either some sort of framework for managing cyber conflict. and of course, the virtual summit this week. so it's, it's important that he's actually talking. i think the big picture is, is that the idea was that they would stabilize the relations with russia and then focus on the conflict with china. you mentioned interestingly, just not. you talked about 57 years ago. the so called code. well, it was not, it was not a so called it was the cold war, and i meant to call because it was hot for many of the developing world in the class. so in that sense, absolutely. in that sense, it was pretty hot in all sorts of places to go to vietnam war except, you know, but it was ultimately a cold war in that the

with us. right now. russian leaders i put in, says moscow will act as the u. s. does in securing its borders. that's a pledge made in an almost hour long phone call with joe biden, during which the u. s. president also promised not to deploy offensive strike weapons in ukraine. on this, we can cross live to our area but shrink. oh ilia, you've been across this. tell us more about the conversation between the 2 leaders . shawn, hey there. well, the fact is that the, the heads of state, so the u. s. in russia are, are in touch with each other more and more often. and finally, now we're getting the details of other latest phone conversation just ahead of new year's eve. now of like you've mentioned joe biden, the u. s. present said that washington has no intention of deploying offensive strike missiles and ukraine. that is something very important for russia that is something that the kremlin had previously called a red wine. now, on the other hand, mister vladimir putin told joe biden that russia will defend its interests and will react to the threats just like wash

u. s. president are taking place later on tuesday, the mid rampant speculation about a possible invasion of ukraine and increased nato activity in the black sea. in an exclusive interview with our tea, the covenants at spokesperson told us the u. s. is becoming increasingly aggressive towards moscow. museums to nitish, and you must. now we see that nato is taking an extremely aggressive position. we see mister stilton burges rhetoric, we see the different u. s. leaders. rhetoric burst. they all say they don't accept any red lines. second, they say that nato will do whatever it wants. 3rd, it will do it on whatever territory it wants. 4th of all of this is aim to deter russia. we do not like that. we will do everything to insure our own interests at large in vars now all the linux, a very important statement was made and the ukraine defense ministers interview to you came media. essentially call the u. s. canada and the u. k. military to the frontline soil and put out there to do that by bypassing nato veneers. so can you tell us about an article, how much of a breach is that light of the red lines? la demy of putin had defined no knowing well. we have had similar statements

with almost a 1000000 detected on average each day, the u. s. is the worst effected accounting for nearly one in 3 cases in the world. south africa has announced that it's midnight to 4 am. curfew will now be lifted. as the countries believed have passed the peak of its 4th corona virus wave. the u . s. has condemned the killing of at least 4 protesters by security forces in c dawn. they were shot in on dorman, where thousands of people rallied against the recent military take of a group of for him. refugees who spend days at sea in a damaged boat, have been rescued by indonesian authorities. the boat was towed by a navy ship off the coast of ha province under 20 people, mainly women and children, dis involved in the port city of crew decay. al jazeera has been told that an agreement to revive iran's nuclear deal with weld powers is still far off. sources close to the negotiations say there is deep disagreements surrounding terrans demand. the u. s. sanctions be lifted immediately. okay. as the headline sneeze continues, here on the inside story

u. s. with 12 states already having what are called trigger laws at the ready to immediately ban nearly all abortions as soon as roe vs wade is overturned. if that happens, this is what protesters on both sides had to say about that. and i don't want it to go back to a state by state session, which can be overturned, looked around on a regular basis. it should be a national, right? just like our right to vote, just like our right to whole property to fork our right to be able to have higher education who should be able to control on. so we can see at 15 weeks old, this is what an infant looks like. and 15 weeks old, the child is fully form. we know that they have a central nervous system. we know that the heart is beating, so we know that this is not a, the sounds like you're lied to for so many years. i don't really know that it's actually in, so i'm really, really hoping that with the new mega grows of rain or though we can get over to either the results of the decision that is going to be tak

u. s. with the 1st country to recognize israel sovereignty over the territory. hurry force, it has moved from west jerusalem. this is a plan over the next several years. so the 3 to 5 years costing $300000000.00 plus . and the policy sees the creation of more than $7000.00 new housing units, most of those going in the existing jewish israeli conservation settlement in the occupied gold on the heights. but also the proposal for to further such settlement smaller ones on top of that the current population levels there are very, very spots. it's a large area, 150000 or so people. half of them israeli jews, the other half mainly drew's arabs with a handful of alights as well. and so what is being deposed is doubling the population of israeli settlement within the occupied area. now as far as the israeli public is concerned, mainstream is really political opinion. it does pretty much accord with what natalie been at the prime minister was saying that this is seen as pretty vital israeli territory on a security level. it is a lot less controversial as well than such s

u. s. relations with u. s. relations worsening chinese president ching ping had his phone 1st phone call with german chancellor, olaf shoulds the chinese leader telling sholtes that the 2 countries should actively explore new areas of cooperation, such as in the new energy, green and digital economy. china is germany's biggest trading partner and the single most important market for the german automotive industry. got into chinese state media. she asked sholtes to provide a fair business environment for chinese investors. and small, i'm joined by phrase a how we alter the book, read capitalism. it's always great to have you on friday, so thank you very much for joining us. i want to focus in on germany and china. what's the state of play here between the 2 countries? well, of course it wanting better relations, but of course under america we were very good relations with china. certainly lots of business done she a year ago, pushed through the final, the comprehensive agreement off investment. so in that sens

i didn't say mega vital video conference with the u. s. president joe biden. he went to new delhi and left the indian capital late in the night, and you only arrived in saw cheap russia early in the morning. in the meantime, in the west, mainly by nato countries. moscow is being accused of plotting some sort of invasion of ukraine or a rust accused of being aggressive elsewhere in the world. and calls are a very loud to once again isolate russia. now, a while, all of this is happening. moscow wants to show that up. it's got friends in asia and it's ready to expand these kind of ties if the western countries aren't looking forward to building partnerships with russia. in fact, i have latimer potent and a renter muddy. are always calling each other friends and they've had this warm relationship for years now already. but of course, it's not only about to the personal friendship between the 2 leaders in a joint statement that was already published on the kremlin website. there are $99.00 paragraphs outlining the things that either have already been done together
