the u. s. has become the 1st country to report a 1000000 cases in a single day. those infections though, haven't translated into a large number of deaths, but they are causing major disruption. thousands of schools are pushing back plans to reopen off the holidays. u. s. president joe biden says that the key to beating the outbreak is for the unvaccinated to get bad jobs. it's a similar story in europe, the as reported a record 218000 view cases and says that more than a 1000000 people are in self isolation. france too, is reported record numbers of cases, government officials about to an act, a law to block unvaccinated people from hospitality venues. incoming weeks i'll just was john henry begins are coverage. this are from washington dc, with the latest coven variance, soaring to record highs. president joe biden began with a warning, and i'll give it to you straight as i promised you. i always would. we're going to say, as you all have been hearing continued rise in cases. then in his address to the nation, he offered reassurance. if you're vaccinated and boo

the u. s. a is facing the highest rate of inflation in 40 years with more than half of americans saying that they think the biden administration is only making things worse. it's been a terrible year for inflation. it's up around 8 percent or higher. this is the levels that we haven't seen since back in the jimmy carter years in the seventy's when the government just prints money out of thin air and spends it on things and gives it to people. it causes the value of your money to go down. that's what's happening in america. the government is printing money, spending more than it brings in, and actually the proposals to deal with it mostly are going to make things worse. the u. s. a leaving afghanistan after 20 years of military presence forced washington to answer some questions about whether hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars were basically left to waste. not forgetting the countless lives lost on both the american and afghan side. ah the . the extraordinary success of this mission was du

a highly anticipated response and a fairly predictable one about the u. s. a. nato have formerly rejected moscow. sweeping security demands refusing, among other things, to rule out of future nato membership for ukraine. instead, washington offers what it calls a serious diplomatic path out of the crisis. in recent weeks, russia has math, 100000 troops near its border with ukraine staring fears of another invasion. a military exercise on the ukrainian border. russia is flexing its muscles while washington has handed over a written response to moscow's demand or response to russia. reflects what i said in heave berlin and geneva. last week. we're open to dialogue. we prefer diplomacy and we're prepared to move forward. where there is the possibility of communication cooperation. if russia deescalate its aggression toward ukraine, stop the inflammatory rhetoric and approaches, discussions about the future security in europe. in a spirit of reciprocity, our responses were fully coordinated with ukraine in our european allies and partners with whom we've been co

and on top of it, all you claim isn't a member of nato in the u. s. and its allies have made more or less clear that they're not going to fight for ukraine. so they're fighting over something that the leave the object that they're trying to protect, they're putting, making it more vulnerable. don't think, see that go ahead. joe biden has brought nato to the edge of a catastrophe. potential catastrophe in the case of a war, just forget the nukes for a 2nd. if a, if a conventional war would break out a russian. but probably when in about a few weeks, i mean they just have to come in from the north like a dagger and hit key and hit key. i mean, they could just launch mitchell missiles and the key of and take out didn't military and political infrastructure. you can, it can be done, maybe in a matter of days. so nato will lose in a conventional war. but 1st, let's try go back 2nd. why answer the question, why is all happening? and the reason is because joe biden, his administration, is an absolute catastrophe. absolute catastrophe on the foreign policy fr

then the u . s. a saw that the, in the event of germany re unifying that native wouldn't movies. you have this in writing in rising liza archived memos, cables. nevertheless, there's, there's, as i say, much more in that list of russian fictions which are a lot of questions about. and so it seems that we here at our tea, ourselves have even become a target of washington's accusations with the us state department alleging that the channel and fellow news outlets. sputnik use this information to advance the cremeans foreign policy. we got reaction from r t host and former british m p. george galloway. the timing on the launch of this report is naked lay sign that it's part of our new propaganda offensive. but i have had the unpleasant task of reading all 33 pages of it, of the people that have lied to us over and over again. i'm now lying to us about ukraine and russia. there's market for it. there is an audience for it, but fewer and fewer people are believing these lies than ever before. thanks to the existence of r d. the existence of social media. people can find out the truth

and then the u. s. a bid to bring skyrocketing prices under control. the u. s. federal reserve said it will high interest rates as consumers content with the highest inflation in decade. ah, i'm so me. so misconduct is good to have you with us nato. when the united states have each delivered their response to moscow, security demands and attentions over russian aggression towards its neighbor ukraine. at recent joint meetings, moscow demanded a guarantee that ukraine would never join nato, and that the alliance would seize military activity in former soviet republics. u. s. secretary of state entity blank and said washington has set out a serious diplomatic path to resolve the conflict. but he added that the u. s. made no concessions to the main demand on nato membership for key f. and speaking a short time ago, nato secretary general young stoughton berg said it was time for both sides to improve dialogue and diplomacy by re establishing their respective offices and brussels and in moscow. and here is more of what stilton burke had to say. we colon rashaw once

so how the headlines and al jazeera, the u. s. a. set a new global record with more than a 1000000 new coven 19 cases registered in a day. the huge jump is to you in part to delays and reporting over the new year weekend. but the u. s. has seen an average of 480000 daily infections over the past week. so 35000000 people not vaccinated. and let me be absolutely clear we have in hand all.

s. in geneva, and in brussels earlier this week lets you pretty much a debt. and the u. s. not bending on moscow's demands to provide security and guarantees over that situation with ukraine. of course, the question on everyone's lips has been whether there will be a so called a invasion in ukraine or by russia. of course, the worst accusing russia of strengthening his forces on the border in ukraine as nato expands eastwards. russia says he has every right to defend is borders. now that question was raised at the very start of the press conference, and we can get circ a lab rose, answer to it right here. american nato seem to have made it very clear that they're not going to. it's a give you the security guarantee. if you don't get the guarantees you've said that you need, that there will be a military response. what does a military response actually mean? could you, could you lay that out? are you ready to use military force to ensure that ukraine never joined native, virtuous mccarthy? now, only western colleagues, gas using tea leaves, they mediately grab the sanctions

more than a 127000 troops. and the u. s. is charged for government officials from bella luce, with aircraft piracy, iran airplane, carrying a critic of mints was forced to land in the bill a russian capital last night. now the 1st shipments of international aid have arrived and toner, 5 days after it was shaken by a volcanic eruption and some army ash was cleared from the runway to let military plains from australia and new zealand land with central supplies or more raids on the way and found lines are being restored. authorities have confirmed 3 deaths and extensive damage across several islands. but when he joins us live from oakland in new zealand at wayne, some more aid is now on its way to tell us what's been happening. hey, yes, we're the flow of a very much underway now, both at a government level and an individual level here in oakland. today we have seen a huge number of people from the very large tongue and community in new zealand coming here to donate goods to be sent back to talk that out to friends and family b

a band by china le september had a similar effect. but a u. s. federal reserve decision to high interest rates was already having an impact before the russian announcement. let's take a quick look at it coins. short history. it was created in 2008 by an an unknown person or group of people under the name of santo. she like a motto, it began circulating a year later as an open source software, which means anyone could access it's blueprint and make their own type of coin. the digital currency was intended for people to send money online and avoid the global banking system. but value fluctuated sharply as people experimented on how to use it. now, bitcoin can be used to buy anything from property, electric cars, and even drugs and weapons, without leaving a trace. ah, less bring in our gas in london name, asked lam, chief market analyst at eva, trade in singapore selling cap on director of corporate asia and author of chomping of the bitcoin bass present and future bitcoin in china from dublin. professor bryan lucy, professor of international finan

i think it's a mistake for the u. s. make, it's a mistake for mobile stability. certainly it's a mistake for the people of afghanistan. well in fact, as trumps feel, the date of a withdrawal was made the 1st you don't think that makes any difference. now look, i think all by and did was extended a couple months and it showed how, how little planning had been done, either by the trump administration or by for the execution to withdraw itself. and i should note my own polling on this subject. i think of firms what other people have observed that while at the beginning, many people said the withdrawal itself was executed poorly and no question about that. but it's caused them to rethink the consequences. the withdrawal itself, the return of taliban to power, the greater risk of terrorist attack, obviously calls into question the legitimacy of the withdraw decision. fundamentally, i think people now realize we are less secure after the withdrawal than we were before the withdrawal. you said the abiding, changed in that answer in a way, what do you, i mean, he said wh

a sunny sky over the u. s. east coast, only a day after it was hit by a powerful winter storm that left behind a thick blanket of snow. more than 100000 people lost power during the blizzard. boston tide, it's record for the biggest single they snowfall. busy days for the snow blowers clearing the runway of the near by logan airport. the storm prompted the cancellation of hundreds of flights. several states have declared emergencies as many residents begin to dig out and get some work to do little bit. yeah. yeah. my neighbor helped me out quite a bit though. yeah. with us back up. some school districts canceled classes on monday, while the snow is still being cleared. meanwhile, crews are working around the clock to restore electricity as soon as possible. unless trouble with the weather as well in northern europe, which is recovering from a powerful winter storm. high winds, heavy rains and snow left at least 4 people dead across the continent and germany, the storm left its mark from the mountains all the wa

write politics and society in the u. s. i increasingly clearly polarized for the year to process the data and the demographics. can you tell us what we know now of the ideological roach of a movement that tried to overturn an election was very clear. and it was very clear to me on that day one year ago that people were storming the capital not simply to protest the election, but to maintain white supremacy for only a few small group of people. we know that because a noose was hanging. there was someone wearing an ouch, which a concentration camp shirt. there was someone else hanging a confederate flag. we know that hundreds of people, storm the capital, thousands of people were there a left many people injured, including a 140 police officers, many of whom were trying to defend the capital, a, some of whom were also complicit in that, at the end of the day left, 5 people dead in total, even after the insurrection from what happened in, in then we know that department of justice has charged over $700.00 people with crimes fr

of course one could say that then it's still a descendant of u. s. u k policy because of the invasion of iraq. i mean, i, i the, the, i way with them. i, well, maybe it all goes back to british imperialism in 1000. everything does of. uh huh. know that this is more recent over the, the 2001 war i should have been before we leave. i've got the senator just quickly say you have warned that a taliban victory in gobble gives them potential access to 150 nuclear weapons. what do you mean that was misquoted from a, from an earlier interview, what i've said was, i worry that the take over by taliban in afghanistan could provide aid and comfort to radicals in pakistan, pakistan a taliban itself, other terrorist groups that the pakistani government created along with extremist in the inter services intelligence director and other parts of the pakistani military if those extremists took control and pakistan than that government would have access to the country store nuclear weapons. wait, i'm asked. so did you make that point and when you are a national securi

now this is a situation where sherman says, the u. s. is very steadfast, that it is opposed to an invasion of ukraine, although it was not specifically discussed at monday's meeting. she did say that the u. s. is trying to find a way to resurrect the intermediate of missile a treaty, that the u. s. and others say that the russians have broken by stationing of medium range missiles around its territory aimed at western europe. been. she also said that one thing is not going to change the idea that nato is not going to open its membership to countries that want to be members. she said that would be infringing on those countries right? to decide how to conduct their foreign policy. she did say there's a lot of work to do, but this is just the beginning and whether the russians are trying to basically create a situation to justify an invasion of ukraine. she said, well, we'll just have to see what they're actually doing. russian president vladimir putin has claim victory and defending neighboring kazakstan from what he called a foreign backe

just last week, china france, the u. k. and the u. s. and rush assigned a joint statement reaffirming their commitment to preventing nuclear war, saying we affirm that nuclear weapons should serve only for defensive purposes and to prevent war. a mishap that is reassuring, but the timing of this statement that they signed this statement last week. that leaves me somewhat nervous. what about you? well, i think the timing of it is mostly linked to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty review conference that was scheduled for the early part of this year. i wouldn't read too much into that. that formulation was also used in the us russia presidential joint statement after presidents by an important met in geneva that happens in june. that is a nuclear war. kathy, one must not be fought. but, you know, frankly, i think the, in this situation in the crisis around ukraine, right now, the risk of a u. s. russia conflict is really less immediate than a russia ukraine conflict. now that could escalate out of control and eventually involve the u. s.

as the u. s. has been transitioning further into a consumption based economy. china's export to the nation rose more than 25 percent for the year to $576000000000.00. while imports from the us grew more than 30 percent to $179000000000.00. now giving the u. s. a. nearly 400000000000 dollar trade deficit with the nation, china's trade surplus with the world's number one economy has been whitening over the last 2 years after narrowing during the trump administration in 2018 in 2019. and it's that trade war. so let's go ahead and take a little deeper into all of this with boom, boom, co host script the i and john quasi, the dean and the miami herbert business school. they both for being here doing quotes. i want to start with you on this. what's the takeaway here from all these numbers is this more about increase production out of china or. busy nations elsewhere, just consuming more. thanks brand. on the demand side, china has done a very commendable job. since the start of coven of clamping down ha

s is saying that will not happen. a compromise the u. s. is putting forward is that it would, it would give a heads up to russia each time. for example, there's some sort of military joint exercises or what is blad at in the days ahead or into years ahead. so finding a compromise on that will be extremely difficult. and i think a lot of people, especially here in your grade when he speak to them, they saying that the issue is not only about ukraine and russia, the issues about do u. s. and russia finding some sort of compromise when it comes to this part of the world. not only about. b ukraine. all right, how the other made their law for us in kiev? let's go over to dos jibari now, who's in a moscow dorsey, as what it was mentioning, the russian foreign minister says 11 will be meeting with the u. s. secretary of state on friday. what a rush, an official saying about that meeting? well, according to the foreign ministry spokesperson, this upcoming meeting will determine the next steps in the guarantees that this countries seeks from the u.

of course, one could say that then it's still a descendant of u. s. u k policy because of the invasion of iraq. i mean, i the, i the way with them. i. well, maybe it all goes back to british imperialism in the 1900. everything does ambassador. huh. know that this is more recent. oversee the 2001 war i should. i mean, before we leave afghanistan, i should just quickly say, you have warned that a taliban victory in gobble gives them potential access to a 150 nuclear weapons. what do you mean? that was misquoted from a, from an earlier interview. what i have said was, i worry that the take over by taliban in afghanistan could provide aid and comfort to radicals in pakistan. pakistani taliban itself, other terrorist groups that the pakistani government created along with extremist in the inter services intelligence director and other parts of the pakistani military if those extremists took control and pakistan than that government would have access to the country store nuclear weapons. wait, i'm asked. so did you make that point in when you are a national

s. senator has a new suggestion saying the u. s. can't given to russia's demands that ukraine will not join nato, but ukraine can, but it's his decision to make if he decides that the future membership of thursday, the woman made oh, for ukraine and the question of rush an occupation of your crime are 2 things to put on the table, i think we may move toward a solution to this. this week, the u. s. senate is expected to take of a bill that would spell out severe consequences if russia acts, which would include sanctions, which would include more military assistance, which would include helping them to fight back against the cyber attacks that the russians will continue to use against ukraine. and also to help on a disinformation campaign that rushes actively involved into trinity stabilize the zaleski government. but the binding ministry she wants to hold off on sanctions as a g current, hoping that the threat of freezing russia out of the international banking system is enough to stop any military action which russia says has no int

s. a. markets at that. if you look at the ties between a walt street, russian bang, so russian companies of those ties are not that great. so i'm not really a certain even if we see those sanctions, if that will be a big a blow to a wall street and us financial institutions. williams, this is not the 1st time if that the u. s. would have imposed sanctions on russia. there seems to be a mixed history here of the effectiveness. if this does come to pass, what will the impact be? will they be effective? well, i mean, there probably would be at least a short term impact. and then we would need to see how the russian institutions and government can actually adjuster to vote some sanction. but you've already hinted, added president barack obama, while joe biden was vice president in 2014 actually already started sanctions against russia. not as deep as the sections we are talking about right now, but pretty similar sanctions and those did actually not do with a trick. also if you look at to conflict, said the u.

however, the u. s. agency for global media u. s. a g does. well, i don't know exactly what they invest in r t and, and screwed neck and in other russian media. but i know that it's more than what the united states government and best, of course, are media and russian is 10 times a 100 talking. it's around a 10 x factor. absolutely less follows of dollars. in 2019 usa gym allocated $808000000.00 to his networks. while in 2019 artist budget was almost 316000000. combining it with the budget of rusty se wasn't near it was only 430000000. or here we have to agree with people in the state department of is definitely not the same in likely attempt to damage the reputations of may done revolution activists, ukrainian leadership and the ukranian armed forces in the eyes of both ukraine's allies in the russian population. the criminal pushed the narrative, the new an autism was rampant in ukraine, cried to during and after the annexation of crimea. why isn't anyone questioning this narrative, brutal attacks on roma people, l g, b, t, people, and right
