and joe biden have concluded a 2 hour video call, focusing on fears of a military escalation in ukraine. the kremlin and the white house have revealed the key talking points. here's our t solstio taylor with the details. there was a lot of hype around this cool, but at same time, very low expectations in any major breakthrough would happen. and not indeed seems to be the case here. after that phone call in which a number of issues was raised ranging from cyber warfare to strategic stability, to regional issues such as iran. both sides have come out with statements now and i will say it's very interesting to see how the 2 of them paint very different portraits of both the content and the tone of the phone call. i thought, said there are 3 points on which they do converge. the fust is not the u. s. on russia, we'll continue to walk diplomatically together. moving forward to that, the bulk of the conversation. i was dedicated to ukraine and 3 that indeed bite and did a warn of a serious punitive measures in case of any attack on ukraine. now for the differences on ukraine, the u. s. statement quite broadly said that really all that happened was that the president boynton expressed his commitment to ukraine's sovereignty and urged 40 escalation. that's all. what we're hearing from the kremlin, though, is that president putin very clearly laid out. the numerous ways in which keith is violating the immense agreements which just reminder our list of protocols that are in place to try and settle the conflict in the dumbass region in eastern ukraine. now another thing that completely didn't get a mentioned by the white house was moscow's concern about aggressive nato activity, especially in the black sea region, as well as its expansion it to the east. let's take a lesson. the responsibility should not be shifted onto the shoulders of russia, since it is nato that is making dangerous attempts to control ukrainian territory and is building opus military potential at our borders. russia is seriously interested in obtaining reliable, lengthy binding guarantees that need to would not expand east or deploy offensive weapon systems in states bordering on russia. you know, maybe because they took time at touring it up. it does strike me that the kremlin statement is much more detailed. it also very specifically describes the concrete proposals made by both leaders, one particular positive encouraging one was suggested by vladimir putin. now he said that may be the sanctions and limitations on diplomatic missions in the 2 nations could be removed. meaning it would be an end to tit for tat expulsions and n to over buds and un understaffed missions. and instead, and the embassies on the dip from out getting back to walk as usual. now the final difference i would make is not about content, but in fact about tone. because whilst the kremlin came out and said, yeah, you know what, we did agree, operations are not in a great state at the moment, but on balance, the conversation was constructive with washington. what we saw instead was really a continuation of aggressive rhetoric that we thought in the need up to the court. now, despite the initial pleasant pleasantries, a real shift in relations looks like it's still a long way off, given that the u. s. has ramped up talk about sanctions against russia for the take across the atlantic on today's video meeting between the 2 leaders hears ortiz, caleb walton. here is what we heard from the biden administration. they talked about how biden raised concerns about the build up of russian forces near the border with ukraine and from there, talked about how the united states and its allies would respond with decisive economic and other measures if there was a military escalation. now biden called on to de escalate and to return to diplomacy, and he instructed the respective teams to continue dialog on ukraine the same time we did hear from the national security advisor jake sullivan. he did speak to the press and he said, quote, we still do not believe that present pollutant has made a decision to quote further invade ukraine. now that you know seems to fly in the face of some remarks that we've heard from other us officials. now it's important to note that even though the national security adviser said they felt that raja had not made such a decision, there are new sanctions to be imposed on russia that are currently in the works. we heard victorian newland testifying about these new sanctions before the u. s. senate committee, what we're talking about would amount to essentially isolating russia completely from the global financial system with all of the fall out that that would entail for russian business for the russian people for their ability to, to work and travel and trade. so there seemed to be a desire on everyone's part for today's meeting to result in a de escalation. however, that hasn't stopped united states from talking of these new sanctions, and it hasn't stopped us media from playing up. this idea that there is somehow a russian threat or russian aggression. so quite an interesting day, i were waiting for more information from both sides about what went on in the meeting between the 2 leaders. now there might have been some aggressive rhetoric, but american lawmakers have not included certain anti russian measures. in the 2022 u. s. defense budget draft that were actually in the house draft. they include a ban on americans buying russian debt and sanctions against the nord stream to gas pipeline, or t america host. ben swan says the sanctions not being in the bill implies the american president does not want to push forward with them. is a fairly big deal. consider the fact that obviously when the house version was written, as you mentioned, these sanctions were included, the senate version, they're not included. that's something called reconciliation. where essentially the bill has to match. and so it looks like those sanctions won't be there, which means that the biden administration is actually putting ties with a lot of the rhetoric of the democratic party right now in the u. s. which is insistent upon having these kinds of sanctions built into these u. s. defense spending bills. and it's pretty significant for a couple of reasons. one is because the president himself has been indicating for some time, but he does not want to continue to push forward on sanctions, specifically over north stream too, because of pressure. he's getting from germany, the germans don't like this idea. remember, this is not a unilateral measure on the russians part. russia and germany together are saying we want the pipeline. russia says we want to send oil and natural gas of that pipeline. germany says we desperately need oil and natural gas that pipeline, but it does as you know, all go back to this issue of ukraine. the idea is that by russia bypass the ukraine, that somehow this will be harmful to ukraine, or they'll be able to have greater leverage over ukraine. and so the rhetoric doesn't necessarily match the reality. and again, you have to sovereign nations insisting that this is something they both want and both need. and i think the u. s. has finally backing away from this idea that they now recognize they can't stop it from happening. a deadly shooting, rocked. se moscow. on tuesday, inside a public services center, the gunman killed 2 people and injured for others, one of which was a young child ortiz nicky air and can tell us more. one has been, seems of absolute chaos and panic on this relatively quiet street to the southeast of moscow. this afternoon. after a 45 year old man opened fire in the city service center right behind me, as you said, killing 2 people and injuring for others. now we believe that one of those killed today was an employee at the service center and it has been confirmed that one of those injured was a 10 year old girl. now the conditions of those 4 people who were injured today is said to be very serious. it's unclear at this point. what exactly led this man to open fire on these people here today. although it's been reported that there was perhaps an altercation or an arguments over the wearing of protective face mosques off to which he opened fire and then tried to flee the sea. now pituitary, there was an off duty police officer, am in the service center at the time he managed to chase off to him and restrain him until the police arrived and arrested the man and, and took him in for questioning. jamara boucher, mr. i was at my workplace and had a far alarm as well as a sound similar to a gunshot deal. then i saw a man running towards the exit of a building. at that moment, i made a decision to detain him, and i ran off to him. he resisted arrest i. sylvia was carrying a knife and afar off, but when i was entangled him, i made sure he couldn't use these weapons were civil and neutralized him go. then it was found that this man actually had not the knife, a gun, but also a knife on his person. and that man that off duty police officer could be in line for an award for that tremendous active bravery today. now the moscow mer answer gets beyond and he has of course, expect expressed his condolences to the families of the victims. they lost their lives day to day and also express the hope for a speedy recovery. for those 4 who were injured in this sad, this tragic turn of events, it today spoke to a man who knew one of the people killed in the shooting local and silly st. lucie, i knew alexei ross left we worked together for about 4 months. i was a clerk crim attendant, he was the security guards here. good. he was a kind hard working man, a good man. oh you said would never any problems with him soon. and he always told him funny stories and anecdotes, so crochet, which i found out earlier today that there were angelo says, police halo stuffs, we thought it was a bomb threat, but there would be no fire. but you found out that there had been issued gold with dead and wounded. and among the dead, i sold the name without the man i was. who else is the service for us? they still had on our key a british foreign office. whistleblower says the u. k. abandoned thousands of its allies in afghanistan, leaving them in the lurch under taliban rule. this story and more in just another 97. ah, ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed? what will make you feel safer? high selection, whole community. are you going the right way, or are you being led to somewhere? direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted you need to descend. ah, so join us in the depths. all remain in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. but i'll be speaking to guess when the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. ah ah oh, come back to the program. now princess has warned the e u that it's in danger of bringing about its own downfall. that's if it doesn't tone down its own desire to impose its own way of thinking on every one else, even compared its methods to quote the nazi dictatorship. that of the catholic church was referring to a european commission drive to make official communications more inclusive, including a suggestion that staff say holiday period instead of christmas. here's our team. charlotte, who pinsky. oh francis essentially condemning the european commission in likening it to the nazi regime. he also offered a warning saying that brussels shouldn't be moving on a path towards this type of woke language. this is what the pontiff had to say in history. many, many dictatorships have tried to do this kind of thing. think of napoleon, think of the nazi dictatorship, the communist one. it is a fashion of a watered down secularism, distilled water. it is something that throughout history hasn't worked well that document was cancelled last week after a firestorm of criticism with politicians across the block describing it is lacking common sense. now they also said that the commission was trying to counsel christmas. why? well, one of the guidelines within that document said that people shouldn't say christmas can be stressful. and there was the idea of saying you shouldn't ask people for their christian name. now this idea of inclusive language is something that the commission president herself on de leon has in the past back and said she wants to move towards. but this document which contained many other examples like not greeting people as ladies and gentlemen, because that wasn't inclusive enough and saying you couldn't describe something as being man made because that would be sexist, was just a step too far. and as a result, the commission has had to make an embarrassing you tune and delete this document. now post francis also talked about the idea of a document like this essentially weakening democracy. he said when national values are being sacrificed and this is something that was meant to unify europe as instead what it's done is sewn even deeper divisions. and the pope himself warned that something like this could cause the fall of the e you itself. brussels must be careful not to take the path of ideological colonialist, zation, which could end up dividing countries and causing the european union to fail. well, was that document was cancelled last week. what it does is it raises questions about the political set up of the commission itself. and i say that because the commission is supposed to dot the eyes cross the t's, make sure that any document that is published is exactly what it wants to be. so the doesn't to track the sort of criticism we've seen over this document, and as it would have verified that before publication, it really begs the question, is this the direction that the commission wants to move in a direction where we have a world without christmas political analysts, nicholas markovich thinks the pope's intervention shows just how far the relief has drifted from the views of its citizens. for many people who dreamed of building you up after world war, they never thought of this. this is the europe, unfortunately brussels. this is the, the super elite in europe today who are copying was coming out of the american campus is this is relayed by mainstream media by major corporations. and they're trying to re engineer the society. this has nothing to do with tackling the sanitary situation with a fighting against poverty, with helping the countries integrate. this has nothing to do. this is social re engineering. this is quite scary. and this is coming from a top bottom, a momentum with again, this super late, which is wanting to dictate to people how they're supposed to think what they are not to say again, if you just think about the document, the essence of the document. this is, this is frightening. this is the essence of the author to author. italian is a, this is a series of totalitarianism. tell people what they're supposed to think and say thousands of people desperate to flee the taliban in afghanistan. many of whom worked for the british armed forces were left behind without any help from london. and the claim from a former staffer at the foreign office who was blown the whistle in a damning report, its left officials scrambling to defend their ledge of actions. i would just seem axiomatic to me that if the foreign secretary is going to be away, the permanent under secretary isn't going to be away. i should have been more visible, tall people who came across was a risk recently i have reflected on this. i have more time to get. i would have come, come back, i've gotten it done needs repeated. i'm going to say it again. you know, i've reflect so much 30 carefully and it hurt my tone again. it was a company, it sounds less credible every time. you repeat, it sounds platitudes while uncomfortable watching but certainly uncomfortable for those top civil servants here in westminster sat there facing an absolute grilling at the foreign affairs. select committee this afternoon. of course it follows his testimony from a now whistleblower in the foreign office. raphael marshall who was working on the desks during those incredibly dark times as cobble was falling to the taliban. now he said, up to a 120000 people were frantically emailing the foreign office here in westminster, begging and pleading for their assistance, saying you've got to help us. you've got to save us from the taliban. now he's blaming it on a lack of staff. i work from home culture here in the united kingdom at the moment, but also he's blaming it on the very fact the members of staff were away on holiday, the foreign office, most senior civil servant didn't return to the united kingdom some 11 days later. the problem with all of that though is that these senior civil servants were leaving junior members of staff to deal with this crisis, dealing with issues that a way above their skill set. and also the amount of emails that were coming through just left many of those emails on red. in the inbox i estimate between 75150000 people applied for evacuation. many of these emails were not right. they were usually over 5000 on right emails in the inbox at any given moment, including many unread emails dating from early in august. these emails were desperate an urgent. well, another controversy all matter as the fact that cats and dogs were given priority over human beings indeed is allegedly at a highest level as well. the prime minister apparently used considerable capacity. i tried to wangle the situation to get pen fall things animal char, to the animals that he was looking off to back here to the united kingdom, an arguably ahead of prioritizing desperate people that were trying to flee the taliban. now course johnson has since denied all of that this afternoon, but the grilling isn't just at boris johnson. it's also out dominic rob then foreign secretary here allegedly took hours to respond to even the most simplest of questions. apparently, he didn't fully understand the situation in the region a tool, and according to this whistle blow up, it was the entire team that was woefully how to woo, full lack of knowledge when it came to the situation of afghanistan. now despite all of these, damming allegations, boris johnson is still buying the same drum, singing the same mantra that the u. k. did an excellent evacuation job. the operation for pitching to add a 15000 people out of trouble in the way that we did over the summer was one of the are standing that she achievement. i think that the room for foreign office, the roman fee. i wouldn't function. everybody involved in the office, officials, but they didn't. i'm absolutely on strategy for what we've really seen her to day a some pretty damning allegations. not just the gangs dominic rob, not just against lawrence johnson, but now the government as a whole. this is a whopping 40 page document, this testimony that really goes into all sorts of allegations against the government. basically saying that the united kingdom let people down. but not only that, not only letting people down, but it cost people's lives. we've contacted the british foreign office for comment about the whistle blowers claims and of course we will bring you any response if and when we receive china has slammed a us diplomatic boycott of its winter olympics next year, calling it an attempt to provoke and manipulate. they wouldn't go us politicians keep typing up a diplomatic boycott without even being invited to the games. this wishful thinking and pure grandstanding is aimed at the political manipulation. it is a grave travesty of the spirits of the olympic charter. a blatant political provocation of james and a serious front of the 1400000000 chinese people don't to tell him. the stand off comes amid tense relations with washington and beijing pull political and economic competition affecting ever more spheres. us athletes will still compete. however, there just won't be any american officials. the i o c says it respects biden's decision and stressed the importance of leaving athletes out of politics. the white house though, for its part sites, concerns about a legit human rights violations in china. and the by new ministration will not send any diplomatic or official representation to the beijing 2022 winter olympics and paralympic games given the peer scenes, ongoing, genocide and crimes against a humanity engine. john and other human rights abuses, the athletes and team usa have our full support, will be behind them 100 percent, as we cheered them on from home, who will not be contributing to the fanfare of the games. we got reactions from a couple of guests through both think that washington is trying to politicize the chinese games. it's an unnecessary slide against paging it. it looks like a reactionary attempt by a week president, but you know, it does signal at the, by the ministration wants to politicize, the olympic, somewhat similar to what we saw between the us and the ussr during the cold war. now this will indicate the many by does not subscribe the life experience a peaceful, athletic competition. we should keep in mind, however, that it's not a total boycott as your lead and noted. american athletes can feel compete. furthermore, it's not as provocative as what we see from the u. s. f. respect to ukraine against russia or taiwan against mainland china, or how the us or the proliferation of nuclear weapon to australia. the bigger question now is whether other countries will follow washington lead and impose similar boycotts and how china will respond. it's always unfortunate when you know the olympics is politicized. but i do think that the trend in american china relations, despite the brief moment of calm that seemed 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 the olympics. and that's the way the news goes for this. our stay tuned for more than just about 30 minutes. the ah, that money print thing is driving up the energy costs and it's gonna force russia into the you and for that to happen, nato and american military's got it. exit germany. i call it air 1st. you say, i'm crazy, but that's what i'm calling me. one of the mic, no, certainly no borders on the slide to tease and you various as a merge, we don't have a therapy. we don't have a vaccine. the whole world leads to take action and be ready to people who judge no common crisis with 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 great, the response has been mess, so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together with awe breaking toil, forced labor stress, industrial injury. corporal punishment. oh no. words with which we're all familiar with how you certain that the world you live in abolish slavery. long ago, i have often said transparency for the powerful privacy for the bell. this is about privacy. what people care about is power. julian hassan just become a symbol of the battle. the privacy information is power. that's what's going on with oral issue. struggle with the governments and corporations to want to keep information secret and others who the democratic rights should be pushed forward. and people have a right to know what you are doing. watch how assange helped shift the conversation around transparency and see what that battle has done to him. i feel like jewels light light come into my mind. we're in a conflict situation with the largest, most powerful employee in such a situation. it's remarkable. i gave you just a she and i didn't battery video don't. michelle kraus, pretty much be with the with can sure the coordinator for a blue your skin boehme, e a v g like you to form a visa that the chemist out boy, you will be with you to waste figured out those pe might not spanish videos yet because the launch a good is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? tice, elation for community. are you going the right way? or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah i wanted to ask you 1st and foremost, how is the well doing in its fight against cove it i think did that said design porter deficient according to where you leave? so did they did the issue is that we, i think we are doing quite golda indeed the most advanced and ways to society is up . but unfortunately, they did there, and it was a very, very fact to be accomplished a developing counting day and at most difficult comm, theresa. it's our leading that it, it biggest strategies in terms of the number of crises that they are affected by. and i did his will, so what strikes me really a lot is eugena quantity that we are leaving in i and there was some counting 9 you appear in union for example, we had many seeing that there dosa while in.
