we gauge the opinions on the streets of new york, moscow. what would happen if they went in a boxing ring? who would shake bags but in a fight? probably vowed i'm glad to hear it. and unfortunately he would win because his model be divided. i think probably he a little more in shape, but they're both wouldn't make it after the 1st couple of under the above give him if they thought nobody wins. because the more a war biden is going to do is very best to represent but probably got a lot more homework about how to get around this man. food. yeah, look pretty big side. so of course the russian president will when and when i hear a lot of hobby thing, his pictures on hard back but might in his solar even he might as well when i go home to, to, to the, to do most when he, by doing work hours we don't know yet, so i think they're both very different and have lovely so so they will do no fights . they will end in peace. i've had enough wars with the bit of phone there before we get really into the serious business, but it is serious. business relati

not to be suddenly caught in moscow. i think analyst not just in moscow, but globally would be very interested in what's going on in the caucuses right now . how is moscow in terms of viewing what's going on right now? reacting maybe not right now. they will react and draft the result itself. but how have they been reacting to armenia as plight in the last 12 months and what is had to go through? thank you very much for having me in this show inside story. thank you. what i would like to say before answering fully a question is that from the very 1st of days, also the last gulf between those are about john in the media. i mean, you know that john, whatever was school was for the integrity of for media and checking to see if a media and the more square actually had the brokers of a good deal. this is fire between between. i mean it does that about john and so it's very important for moscow to have a peaceful neighbor, neighbor in the caucasus moscow also would like to see more stable relationship with the media. what chan

so in a way, moscow is, or it's least, it might be easier to deal with. well, most definitely not as far as washington when it comes to can all make my but when it comes to military, my, i think i'm going to russia would argue that it has even this certain degree of superiority. and in fact, in the latest read assessment reported by the us intel community, it was specifically stated that the russian military rad increases dramatically when it serves, or if it serves as what they call the force multiplier for china. as far as the americans are concerned, do you think all these talk or with the russians about strategic stability is alternately about russia in the united states? or is it about the united states in china and russia serving simply as a trial used for and more difficult conversation? well, i think it's more complex. so whereas, if you take some specific areas of the current global military balance or actually steal fire shade and it will be the case for a long time. on the other hand, you the you that the united states is primarily concerned ab

the moves saying moscow will be forced to retaliate. we have always given a consistent response to legal action of the united states. it is strange that some people in washington enjoy this obstacle course so much. american idealogues have revealed themselves. they need all of the fuss around the supposed poisoning as a tool for solving the problems of their own non competitiveness. it is a surprise and you know, given this latest twist that we're seeing right now, it seems that you know, the relationship between russia and the us. they are not going to improve anytime soon. in fact, they can get even worse, because jack salad the u. s. national security advisor has just said on seeing that they did that biden's administration is preparing new sanctions against moscow. we are preparing another package of sanctions to apply and these case as well. we've shown all along the way that we're not going to pull our punches, whether it's on solar, wayne's or elections interfering, or nevada only when it comes to responding to rushes harmful act

couldn't you moscow? straight and be to blame if you, if the president rides a wave of support ahead of next week's election and in sport will tell you why this australian player has been banned at the european championship. ah. the u inspector general has called almost israelis and palestinians to respect last month ceasefire after israel launched as strikes in the early hours of wednesday in gaza. the secretary general expresses concern over the most recent round of violence and calls for the full respect of the cease fire agreed on the 20th of may . he would like to see the cessation of hostilities be maintained and solidified in order to give space with the relevant parties to work out arrangements to stabilize the situation. un, special coordinated toward venice land is continuing his diplomatic engagements with all sides towards that aim. on wednesday, how must linked activists fod incendiary balloons across the garza border into israel for the 2nd day in a row. at these 4 new fires broke out on the

moscow agreed, what dividing people hope to achieve remains unclear. we are told the white house wants to restore predictability and stability. what could possibly go wrong? ah, got a person as cautious optimism. i see a rub up his landmark zuniga summit with joe biden. and your billing you go, what i did, there was no hospitality on the country meeting was very constructive. i have no illusion following the meeting needs it. oh no news. there can't be any illusions at all. autumn seemed rather less certain off of the summer, even appearing to confused scooting with trump. i caught part of prejudice truck up to the press conference at the end of his post summit news conference, joe bought him questions the reward his claim that the u. s. president would change a lot of improvements behavior. why didn't behavior mr. president? the ah 5 am here in moscow. thanks for joining us in our international. i'm daniel who can read. you are welcome to the program. a construct fish without any hostility, that's not an imposing take. on his talks with joe bought and

i think the view in moscow is that the someone will be seen as a success. they would never really anytime to any chances of breakthrough, there was nothing concentra really being negotiated. this is very much get to know each other and set out all positions. and in moscow is once they run news organization, put it the very 1st success is the saw me actually happened, joe biden played in to the fact that america and russia, 2 of the world's biggest powers who kept talking on russia as a great power, proud nation he said the 2 had a unique shared responsibility when he comes to the fact that they are the 2 most heavily with nuclear home countries in the world. and this is all the kind of music and rhetoric the most reading like it was done in the past when american presidents have comes to russia and dismissed it as a regional power put it down. and really the goal for moscow in terms of the summer, was being seen on an equal footing. also, we have to remember the, the russia itself values, the stability and a predictable relationship. that's the cornerstone

but not all of russia is like moscow. and the situation in the rest of the country was often much more dramatic last year. and now we are unfortunately, once again hearing about all the crowded hospitals where passions are placed on mattresses in the hallways because there are, there are no bats left. where hearing about exhaust book doctorates about the shortage of medicines, and even about the shortage of the vaccine against covet 19 in some region of russia. speaking of vaccines, here is russia, as you pointed out, was one of the 1st countries in the world to develop and export a coven vaccine. how can it be then that it's now so far behind many other countries in backs moving its own people? well, because there are different reasons for this, the russian vaccines put the v had long been considered unsafe when it came out. it was released onto the market to quickly before the clinical investigation was completed. the next problem is, terry, that the rational simply have very little trust in their own state and much of

not to be suddenly coffee in moscow. i think analyst not just in moscow, but globally would be very interested in what's going on in the courses right now. how is moscow in terms of viewing what's going on right now? reacting maybe not right now. they will react and draft the, the result itself. but how have they been reacting to armine as plight in the last 12 months and what is had to go through? thank you very much for having me in this show, instruct story. thank you. what i would like to say before answering fully a question is that from the very 1st of days, also the last cultural between those that about john in the media. i mean, you know, those are my job. whatever more school was for the integrity of the media and checking to see if a media and the more structurally had the broker of a good deal. this is fire between between. i mean, it does that about john and so, and it's very important for moscow to have an useful labor neighbor in the caucasus and moscow also would like to see more stable relationship with

so from your perspective, they're in moscow. how contentious do you think this is going to be while so my pretty contention, i think about some progress could be achieved as a valid this point because a half of the sun, it's both moscow and washing. you have already made some steps that might seem unusual against the backdrop of tension. in recent years, they've tried to smooth some of the shop edges of the relationship, avoid unnecessary signals, so that could escalate to the situation and they even exchanged already. what could be called some kind of compliment, the american president had that he is that he perceived his russian colleague at the board through arrival. and let me put in here in moscow for his boss, spoke very positively about biden's team, praising them for their professionalism. in an interview interview, when asked about cyber attacks, i gave the s and the possible expedition to the united states rational heck of have committed to both attacks. president putin admitted in an interview. it was a possibility, o

well, big news for moscow? moscow's merit. i'm saying minded tree! coven vaccinations for citizens working. the service industry i face to face jobs. this is a new daily cases here of reach nearly 7000 in the russian capital across the massive countries. a whole 14000 cases registered on tuesday, moscow's ready re introduce restrictions couple of days ago, many businesses including 11 pm curfew on the restrooms and bonds. but now, if you're in the service industry and you are in moscow, the man i was saying, you've got a mandatory, have one of these vaccines will bring you all here on our team throughout the day. the these are the 4 people who pull the trigger. i survive something and survive. football was the hardest thing that i had to face was not having a face adult by patient life accepted. accept the fact that i made that appointment . we had no fears. del change pretty fast for shots. different stories behind the bullets. the with the hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle towards the summit. the by

the numbers in moscow were plus $2900.00 cases. and there you have it this friday, a new sad record of more than plus $9000.00 in a whole country like mexico for example. this figure is 2 times smaller. so what is going on? it looks like the new delta varian which originated in india, is taking its toll on the russian capital. according to the mayor of moscow, almost 90 percent of the new infections in the city are the new delta variance. and also we're going to see them. the delta strain spreads foster, and the worst thing about it is that the person needs strong immunity twice as many antibodies to resistance compared to the original we'll hand virus. so essentially we're going through the same thing again, but with more severe consequences, the government has come to the understanding that the pace of the vaccination has been very slow and now they are rushing to change that. now, here's one of the groundbreaking decisions introduced by the medical authorities and the washing capital. in moscow, free non essential care in the ho

we'll see a russian, i'm in washington, us, some of that back in moscow. the very basics of diplomacy when it comes to just how they viewed one another. we heard from joe biden and saying that it wasn't ever going to be friendly, really. but it was, it was part of the job wasn't to get one or someone out, it was sent pete to become and just been communication and able to have an open frank dialogue to dissolve to in the future. and to do that without any hostility. and that's what we heard from your billing coup. mister, there was no hospitality on the country meeting was very constructive. our views differ on many issues, but i believe both sides have shown a willingness to understand each other and to bring out different positions close together. there wasn't any, any strident action taken, or we disagreed. i disagree, stated where it was where he disagreed, he stated, but it was not done in a hyperbolic atmosphere. biden himself gave an answer that there were some things that he was not willing to negotiate. personally. also said, you know what, we have

according to the mayor of moscow. almost 90 percent of the new infections in the city are the new delta variance. and because also we're going to see them. the delta strain spreads foster, and the worst thing about it is that the person needs strong immunity twice as many anti bodies to resistance compared to the original we'll hand virus. so essentially we're going through the same thing again, but with more severe consequences, the government has come to the understanding that the pace of the vaccination has been very though and now they are rushing to change that. now here's one of the ground breaking decisions, introduced by the medical authorities and the washing capital. in moscow, free non essential care in the hospitals will only be provided for those who have been vaccinated. everyone will still get the emergency treatment if it's required. if you are a patient with cancer or with blood diseases, you will still get all the necessary treatment. but in other cases for non essential care, like i said, a jab will

now besides this, moscow. busy is also said to become the pioneer in a different initiative that is going to become an experiment so called coal bid, free restaurants and bars in approximately 20 location. this experiment begins this weekend. all the staff members will be vaccinated. and in order to get inside, the customers will have to show a q r code proving that they've either been vaccinated or that they have and now anti bodies, and these kind of restaurant, there will be no cobit restrictions, and they will be allowed to work during the night and i can remind you that again, only a few days ago night clubs, bars and restaurants were forced to be shut down for the night. we also heard from latimer potent spokesperson, when he was asked what the kremlin thinks about the new restrictions, then about the spike in new coven cases. dmitri past golf said that this was due to mass negligence by the population. that's how he called the refusal of most citizens to follow the restrictions. also the slow pace of th

the numbers in moscow were plus $2900.00 cases. and there you have it this friday, a new sad record of more than plus $9000.00 in a whole country like mexico for example. this figure is 2 times smaller. so what is going on? it looks like the new delta varian which recreate with an is taking its toll on the rushing capital. according to the mayor of moscow, almost 90 percent of the new infections in the city are the new delta variance. and also we're going to see them. the delta strain spreads foster, and the worst thing about it is that the person needs strong immunity twice as many antibodies to resistance compared to the original hand viruses. so essentially we're going through the same thing again, but with more severe consequences, the government has come to the understanding that the pace of the vaccination has been very slow and now they are rushing to change that. now, here's one of the groundbreaking decisions introduced by the medical authorities and the washing capital. in moscow, free non essential care in the hospitals

most likely in moscow. - -- >> most likely in moscow. no one's really expecting anything else from putin. and actually, he accused the west and america financing opposition movements in russia, that apparently an american bidding wanted to overthrow his regime, and said that america considered him and present-day russia as an enemy. i mean, both sides apparently came down to that, that they are kind of enemies. but there's a mutual desire to avoid a direct crash, a direct military crash anywhere in the middle east, in syria, in the black sea, or the mediterranean or anywhere else. so yes, there is mutual interest to try to stabilize and de-escalate. and syria was mentioned as a place where there are russian military, american military, but the deescalation regime has been working for several years rather successfully. at least they're not shooting at each other, and that's really good enough right now. can such a de-escalation regime really be established by this summit right now? we're going to have just working groups. well, how will t

and given how many frustration there are in moscow with the us as policies? good, i agree, you know, with your assessment, i think that the position of the russian side was that essentially the ball is in your court. in the us court. we need our best. we came up with the many proposals. we do not try to surprise you to present your with something that you do not expect. we are open to your ideas. but i think that what they deny on their side is that it is asha who has to change her behavior. i think the strong perception ortho president, putin is that russia doesn't have anything to change. he can explain why most acted this way or another particular situations. so if you don't have anything to hide, but he expects the united states to demonstrate a little bit more flexibility, may be a little bit more imagination in order to get back to some of the proposals which all read on the table. now you said recently that judging from the initial side, the science coming from the bite in administration and biden's friendly, think times it seemed as if they were viewi

so in a way, moscow is, or is least it might be easier to deal with. well, most definitely in the far west washington when it comes to can all make my but when it comes to military, my, i think i'm going to russia would argue that it has even the certain degree of superiority. and in fact, in the latest grad assessment reported by the us intel community, it was specifically stated that the russian military rad increases dramatically when it serves, or if it serves as what they pulled the force multiplier for china. as far as the americans are concerned, do you think all these talk or with the russians about strategic stability? is it the ultimately about russia in the united states, or is it about the united states in china and russia, serving simply as a trial used for and more difficult conversation? well, i think it's more complex. so whereas, if you dig some specific areas of the current global military balance are actually steal fire and it will be the case for a long time. on the other hand id will be that the united states is primarily concerned

please remember all through school from canada in moscow. you said to a couple of my colleagues you wanted and biased. fair question coverage. i have a fair question for you. it actually comes from my 9 year old daughter who asked me before i left to come here. what is the big deal with the summit? and it's quite a complicated answer for a 9 year old. so i'd like you to explain to us in your own words, mister president, why is this relationship so complicated? and also she'd like to know, and i'd like to know why our young people are not allowed to protest in russia at the store. so that's a great thing that you are a 9 year old. not are you interested with some kind of matters and the answer is very simple. you just need to look around and see me how beautiful the world is and what you drown out in the leaders. so 2 countries, yeah, just largest nuclear power. the need to make this world reliable, but today sure. do mom left here as retailing nation when good home for all the people of our planet, all the heaters in apartment land and they

the situation with new corona virus cases in moscow was quite stable. i kept watching it everyday was about plus 2000 plus $3000.00 cases for a city as big as moscow that was just a drop in the ocean, i should say. so very stable, but mid june, only a few days ago we saw that curve go up on sunday. that was more than 7000 cases dead. it drop a little bit to almost $6000.00 cases, but still that's a significant spike. something that we have not seen since the end of last year, pretty much i can tell you. so this led to a situation in which the moscow city authorities clearly had to act only a few days ago. new restrictions have been and now it's actually, these are all really old restrictions. we've seen them before, but they were lifted at some point. that is, for instance, that bars night clubs. now i do believe i'm going to cut into an alias saying that we're going to show you what's happening in geneva and that some it's between a president posted and bide. and there are the 2 leaders sitting in the library of the 18th century, the viola groans which

he makes a couple of da statements towed to moscow. then he consults with his experts with the system. so it turns out that, unfortunately in suddenly his mosque was indispensable. you have to build relations with leaders the year. so they put together some meeting. and after the summit meeting, basically as things start moving diplomats military, bureaucrats, experts get together, come up with ideas, sometimes agree on some on something. sometimes they disagree about some, it's are indispensable. not only you from this particular meeting, there was a lot of talk on the american side about the need to approach pushing from a position of strength. i think perhaps strength was emphasized way too much for it to be taken at face value. i think when people put such an emphasis, it's usually a sign of vulnerability. do you think that was the indeed the case with the bite and ministration, but it was perhaps vulnerable because of this need to appear a task with which is when in fact it's actually counterproductive for reaching any you know, s

and given how many frustrations there are in moscow with the us as policies. good, i agree, you know, with your assessment, i think that the position of the russian side was that essentially the ball is in your court. in the us court. we need our best. we came up with the many proposals. we do not try to surprise you to present you with something that you do not expect. we are open to your ideas. but i think that what they deny on their side is that it is asha who has to change her behavior. i think the strong perception of president putin is that russia doesn't have anything to change. he can explain why most acted this way or another in particular situations. so if you don't have anything to hide, but he expects the united states to demonstrate a little bit more flexibility, maybe a little bit more imagination in order to get back to some of the proposals which already on the table. now you said recently that judging from the initial side, assign is coming from the bite in administration and biden friendly. think times it seemed as if they were viewing russi

just going 3 am here in moscow. thanks for joining us on the international. i'm daniel walton through the you are welcome to the program construct. if without any hostility, that's flooding a boot and view on his talks with joe bought and who praised the possible interaction as both spoke at their own post. some news conferences, more details now from our team in switzerland, who look back at the day's events in geneva. the, who's me welcome back to geneva, what long take it is worth it. he has been a really long couple of weeks. i'll hold on high school that falls around. of course, the big russia us summit was building. now it's over, don, president biden, president putin, they sat down, they talked, i'm really the bottom line is, looks like ties between the 2 countries are better today than they watch tomorrow and really looks like the best you can. that's all we could have hopeful they were never going to leave. this is the best of mates. they were never going to move mountains in terms of the problems that exist. but what we have seen at them say that th

according to the mayor of moscow. almost 90 percent of the new infections in the city are the new delta variance and the goal. so we're going to see them. the delta strain spreads foster, and the worst thing about it is that the person needs strong immunity twice as many anti bodies to resistance compared to the original we'll hand virus. so essentially we're going through the same thing again, but with more severe consequences, the government has come to the understanding that the pace of the vaccination has been very though and now they are rushing to change that. now here's one of the ground breaking decisions, introduced by the medical authorities and the washing capital. in moscow, free non essential care in the hospitals will only be provided for those who have been vaccinated. everyone will still get the emergency treatment if it's required. if you are a patient with cancer or with blood diseases, you will still get all the necessary treatment. but in other cases for non essential care, like i said, a jab will

okay, that's the way it looks from the moscow news room for now. andrew farmers here in half and i was checking with alex the america and washington next. somebody for scotty know he's oh, i use me and i make, no, you know, board is blind to tease parish . we don't have authority. we go to the back seen the whole world, leads to take action and be ready. not a joke. people are judge governors crisis. we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is paid for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes it feel very proud that we are in need together in ah, with me ah ah, i use join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me.

the capital moscow recorded 144 cobra, 1900 deaths and 24 hours on sunday. that's the highest rate since the beginning of the pandemic, and an average of $20000.00 new infections are being reported across the country each day. authorities are imposing strict new measures to counter the surge as the w. your chateau reports, the st. petersburg city beach couldn't be busy with temperatures about 30 degrees celsius. thousands of russians have come to the gulf of finland to escape the hard to weather and social distances. russia is in the middle of its 3rd quarter fires. wave thanks to the rapidly spreading, built a very and the stories are sounding the alarm is in you. you taishan accounts for almost 90 percent over the u. k. presentation will go with 9 net explosives. you have had record numbers of new because mortality statistics. i'm not going either here to record the numbers. so just one day to switch those to me at most officials are talking about more than 20000 new infections every day. most of them in moscow to get to the situation under control is irra

is moscow suffering from a records level of covey infections? and correspondingly, patricia could bring as the story that thank you an error of suspicion. what human rights activists say has begun in response to when use with anti terror law. it allows the police to keep tabs on people as young as just 12 and without a court decision yet it was approved and a national referendum. right? guess the it takes a look. the 3 are jews. the balance of the tax and stabbings in recent years have rattled society. one thing led to another in switzerland is now home to the most draconian count tara laws. in europe. it was the will of the people. that's the thing with suisse direct democracy, new middle met. i've, people want to give police state, uncheck powers, they can, and they did 57 percent voted in referendum for these. the question is, did people fully understand what they were voting for? thank if you notice, i think a lot of people are not aware how dangerous this law is, as it is cutting into the freedom of all activists in this country. and now yo

we also heard from the mayor of moscow, the mayor doors and capital searcy. so beyond, in the who said that, of course, if you're sitting home, if you're not directly in touch with the people, then it's up to you whether to get vaccinated or not. but if you are working with people face to face, then under the current circumstances, clearly that's a different story. it's up to each person whether to vaccinate or not. it's their decision, as long as they're sitting at home. but when you go out to public places and get into contact with other people consciously or unconsciously, you become complicit in the spread of the disease. in view of the di epidemic situation, moscow's chief medical officer today approved regulation of mandatory vaccination of service sector workers. now, mandatory vaccination may sound scary for some viewers, but we do have to understand that when it comes to the profession in which the staff face to face again when they directly deal with the customers with other people. there is also a list of heavy diseases for which the vaccines had a

c. moscow has sent a grim record in new cove. it infections registering more than $9000.00 cases in a 24 hour period. new restrictions are now being brought in, including the limiting of non emergency medical care for on vaccinated patients. ortiz ilia patricia can tell us about it. less than 2 weeks ago. the numbers in moscow were plus $2900.00 cases. and there you have it this friday, and new sad record of more than plus $9000.00 in a whole country like mexico for example. this figure is 2 times smaller. so what is going on? it looks like the new delta varian which originated in india, is taking its toll on the russian capital. according to the mayor of moscow, almost 90 percent of the new infections in the city are the new delta variant. and because also we're going to see them. the delta strain spreads foster, and the worst thing about it is that the person needs strong immunity twice as many anti bodies to resistance compared to the original we'll hand virus. so essentially we're going through the same thing again, but with

we have a park, but it is absolutely impossible to go here and moscow. some of the british ambassador over a u. k. war ship that entered russian waters in the black sea warning shots were fired during that incident, london. and so the vessel was traveling and international water. ah, really wants you around the world. we appreciate hear it out into national. very good day for me, kevin. oh, in this 24th of june. first. and as you heard of those headlines, for many, the pandemic has brought hardship and suffering. but as is usually the case with these kind of things, for some, it's been a time to re massive profits to the number of dollars millionaires that has expanded by $5000000.00 during the past year. in the u. s. 50 billionaire. dennis, these hold as much wealth as the bottom half of society. there. americas diagnostic families, both old and new, deploying a range of wealth preservation strategies to further concentrate wealth and power. power that is deployed to influence democratic institutions, the press, civic imagination, and regular rules. the

thank you for sharing your sunday with us here in moscow. we are back in about half an hour with another weekly just for you. ah, ah ah, me rather driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me.

ah, good evening, just gone 8 o'clock in moscow. you're watching arthur the international. now ask permission. russia has made clear to enter its territory after moscow summoned britain's ambassador over a warship that encroached on its waters in the black sea constantine ross cove. as more now on the reaction, russia sees the incident in the black sea is a deliberate provocation from the british navy. russian officials have taken it quite serious and for instance, you're wrapped off rushes deputy foreign minister, a diplomat didn't measure his words. what can we do? we can only appeal to common sense and demand respect for international law. if this does not work, we can bomb not only in the direction, but also in target. if our colleagues do not understand, i will in any one violating the state borders of the russian federation under the slogan of free navigation from such provocative steps. because the security of our country comes 1st and just to bring everyone up to speed a u. k. worship the h m, as the veterans that it through what russia says or it's territorial wate

the numbers in moscow were plus $2900.00 cases. and there you have it this friday, and new sad record of more than plus $9000.00 in a whole country like mexico for example. this figure is 2 times smaller. so what is going on? it looks like the new delta varian, which is taking its toll on the russian capital, according to the mayor of moscow. almost 90 percent of the new infections in the city are the new delta variance. and because also we're going to see them. the delta strain spreads foster, and the worst thing about it is that the person needs strong immunity twice as many anti bodies to resistance compared to the original hand viruses. so essentially we're going through the same thing again, but with more severe consequences, the government has come to the understanding that the pace of the vaccination has been very slow and now they are rushing to change that. now here's one of the ground breaking decisions, introduced by the medical authorities and the washing capital. in moscow, free non essential care in the hospitals will

it might have been surprised by moscow's reaction here. bye bye bye. that is basically shooting warning shorts. across the bow of the defender. there are reports of russian jets that were dropping bombs into the sea as well to basically force. busy the ship to divert you at a, b, b. c correspondent who reported from the ship. the russians are shooting, i guess, warning shots in front of us. and then you put in london saying there were no warning shots. the russians didn't do any of this. this is, this is all russian misinformation why he has such a disconnect between the government and what the b, b. c reporter said he was actually on the ship at the time. i think the government was caught off guard. i think they were not expecting that. but i think they're not taking moscow and certainly, mr. brewton comments seriously that ukraine is a red line. and if it's, if it's broached, they pay the consequences. and i think that they were testing that and, and i think they were clearly caught off guard by the reaction from moscow and, and we'll see if it happe

we'll see a russian, i'm in washington, us, some of that back in moscow. the very basics of diplomacy when it comes to just how they viewed one another. we heard from joe biden saying that it wasn't ever going to be friendly really, but it was, it was part of the job wasn't to get one or someone out. it was sent to become interesting communication. able to have an open frank dialogue to dissolve to in the future and to do that without any hostility. and that's what we heard from your billing group. mister, there was no hospitality from the country meeting was very constructive. our views differ on many issues, but i believe both sides have shown a willingness to understand each other and to bring up differing positions close together. there wasn't any, any strident action taken where we disagreed. i disagree, stated where it was where he disagreed, he stated. but it was not done in a hyperbolic you atmosphere. bite and insult gave an unclean that there were some things that he was not willing to negotiate. pizza moist also said, you know what, we have diff

that was more than plus $7000.00 cases in one single day in moscow. these are the numbers that we haven't seen since the end of last year. now it got down to a bit under $6000.00, but still this is an impressive spike compared to what we had in spring. so the moscow city authority said that they had to take action only a few days ago, new measures were announced. in fact, these are old measures. these are just the ones that have been lifted. now the word mandatory may sound scary to some and clearly some of the critical voices will be getting louder now. but i can tell you that in that statement from the moscow mayor office, the officials are reminding that the workers from some of these sectors such as teachers and doctors, they have been used to obligatory vaccine from other highly infectious diseases such as measles, for example. and this is something that's been there for decades, if not centuries. so the anti cobit vaccine will only be an addition to that list. we have asked the people in the streets of moscow, what they make of the state is deci

so knowing that there is now a nice rocket just 15 minutes away from moscow. it's formed a few new military units, but not aggressively. you know, america's big on that, that's why i keep people in painters at the border and dozens of indefinitely entertained according to monet with hundreds of others. housing. the port should be meeting with president prudent in a couple weeks in geneva. megan, declare that we will not. we will not stand by let them abuse those rights, which some could say has a distinct width of double standards since you're from flitting. but we are following with interest. the persecution of those who are accused of the rises on january the 6th this year. a lot of really interesting things are happening there from the point of view of the rights of the opposition and protecting those rights . washington shopped at its own reflection. the mirror replied that it doesn't need any type from russia or from international law. thank you very much. the will it be smooth, the lint chocolate? will they be reaching those famous swiss army knife? you

there are no social media, but here in moscow for now 26 minutes past the hour. kevin, though, in the team setting off of a great wednesday, the i choose mr. to the garage and he said he didn't finish the unit, he better than the min russell. but if i go over the go to the, the book release the hold up just sort of lenient re bush and learning. and that was in the course procure, mrs. to actually just for you know that i good position the good we think he might be a soldier because off the boot she's wearing huge, which hold up took a personal opinion. was on the sure. so please please. ah ah i lose me. there is your media, a reflection of reality the in a world transformed what will make you feel safer. type relation or community. you going the right way for you being direct. what is true is faith in a world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah, in the moon the this is boom. but the one business show you can afford to mit breads are born in washington coming up. the european union has officially open an anti tru

the ah hello, good evening, just gonna 11 o'clock in moscow. you watch, naughty international and constructive without any hostility that it's not me to, to view on his talks, joe biden, who praise the personal interaction is both spoke in post summit. so news conferences. so that's get the latest now from switzerland or more from our team engineer. the, who's me welcome back to geneva. what a long take for city has been a really long couple of weeks i'll hold on. hi, i'll hold up a round. of course, the big russia us summit was building. now it's over and done, the president biden, president putin, they sat down, they talked and really the bottom line is, looks like ties between the 2 countries are better today than they watch tomorrow. and really looks like the best you can hope for. we could have hopeful they were never going to leave. this is the best of mates. they were never going to move mountains in terms of the problems that exist. but what we have seen at them say that they'll read ignite diplomatic relations, maybe not tomorrow, mayb

hello, welcome back to the moscow news room. i'm calling bray with just one of the story that we're keeping watch on this wednesday, the mayor of moscow. and i'm to mandatory cobit shots for 60 percent of service sector workers along with transport and education staff. it's after recent surge in daily case number's area per try and it has the story. all the mayor is pretty much making it clear that the russian capital has unleashed a real war against covert. so what are these places and organizations where more than half of staff members 60 percent, to be precise will now be subject to mandatory vaccination that is, cafes restaurants, bars. so pretty much the entire food industry, beauty salons, jim's spas. besides this theaters, museums, libraries, also transport facilities and the department of banks where the staff members directly deal with the clients and the mayor even set the deadlines for these organizations that will have to provide their workers with the vaccine. now for the 1st component, that will be july 15th and it

the numbers in moscow were plus $2900.00 cases. and there you have it this friday, and new sad record of more than plus $9000.00 in a whole country like mexico for example. this figure is 2 times smaller. so what is going on? it looks like the new delta varian, which is taking its toll on the russian capital, according to the mayor of moscow. almost 90 percent of the new infections in the city are the new delta variance because also we're going to see them. the delta strain spreads foster, and the worst thing about it is that the person needs strong immunity twice as many anti bodies to resist compared to the original hand viruses. so essentially we're going through the same thing again, but with more severe consequences, the government has come to the understanding that the pace of the vaccination has been very though and now they are rushing to change that. now here's one of the ground breaking decisions, introduced by the medical authorities in the washing capital. in moscow, free non essential care in the hospitals will only be

i'll be back in about half an hour with your next need update from moscow. this is our t thanks for watching. ah, he said you had to police 30 that can each news he better than the human russell. but if i go over the over the book or just one of the motion learning stories going on in the course of action just for orfa. gotcha. ah, good position we think you might be.

he makes a couple of da statements towed to moscow. then he consults with his experts with the system. so it turns out that unfortunately in suddenly his mosque was indispensable. you have to build relations with leaders the year. so they put together some, it's meeting. and after the summit meeting, basically as things start moving diplomats military, bureaucrats, experts get together, come up with ideas, sometimes agree on some on something. sometimes they disagree about some, it's are indispensable. not only you from this particular meeting, there was a lot of talk on the american side about the need to approach pushing from a position of strength. i think perhaps strength was emphasized way too much for it to be taken at face value. i think when people could such an emphasis, it's usually a sign of vulnerability. do you think that was the indeed the case with the bite and ministration that it was? perhaps vulnerable because of this need to appear at the top with which is when in fact it's actually counterproductive for reaching any
