with hello there, live from out international. will the central masika. welcome to our world the today. me, kevin. oh. so 1st thing with the groundwork laid out or monday between russia and the u. s. of secured, soaks in. geneva eyes now turned to brussels, where negotiations with nato you'd start wednesday. so far, the u. s. is promised a written response to moscow security demands. they include no further eastward expansion of nato or missiles position near russian territory. with more what's been said so far, shallow to bend ski. well the talks may have been described as being business, like in frank when the russian us delegation, metal children in geneva. however, it does seem that now information has been laid back to washington. a slightly different view seems to be taking place with the white house spokesperson suggesting that russia could be getting ready at any moment to spread this information about what was said in those meetings. in war may have been agreed in terms of potential way forwards to angry reaction from the russian foreign ministry with the spokesperson saying that the u. s. authorities was simply out of touch. we are preparing yourself for the civility in likelihood. no one should be surprised. i should say, if russia spreads disinformation about commitments that have not been made, or if it goes even further and instigates something as a proof text for further destabilizing activity. and so we would continue to urge everyone not to fall for any attempts to pushed and disinformation out there. as for the numerous statements made by the white house press secretary legally, but it is sincerely regretable that the american leadership is represented by people who do not know the subject well enough. but it's telling them we advise you colleagues not to forget to use critical thinking and carefully double check with at least the most important story, so as not to show your incompetence to the whole world. now, interesting with those comments that russia could be ready to spread this information. given that the russian delegation held an open press conference, there was a live stream of that press conference with the deputy foreign minister outlining what had happened in the talks and plenty of questions in regards to that from media from across the world. us by contrast, didn't hold an open press conference, so to speak. it was a press conference that was or do you own me, a telephone with a transcript late to being released. some might question who therefore has something to hide? but of course, what we do know from those discussions is that the u. s. is expected to give with a written confirmation response later on this week. in regards to some of the red lines that were out lined by russia, including potentially that old ukraine. now it was a session business like they said, however, it does appear that there is a lack of optimism as a result of those tools. now from both sides, we do not see any significant reason for optimism. the only thing that deserves positive assessment is the way the talks were conducted with openness, thoroughness, and directness. but this is not something that can bring satisfaction because what is important is the result, not the process. it was not what you would call a negotiation. we're not to a point where we're ready to set down texts and begin to go back and forth. even before going into these talks that they were of course, new possible, thank sanctions. being threatened by the united states. if it said russia invades ukraine, no rush is that time and time again. it does not intend to evade ukraine. and that was reiterated again at the press conference on the monday night. however, the russian deputy foreign minister saying what russia really wants right now is, i implied guarantees that ukraine will not join the nato alliance now or ever. we are fed up with loose dog i, mrs. misinterpretation of what happened that different forms of negotiations behind closed doors. we do not trust the other sites, so to see we need iron clad. what approved bullet proof, legally binding guarantees not assurances, not safeguards guarantees. so no concrete breakthrough, particularly with the united states, saying they couldn't discuss issues of ukraine and it's possible membership of native without me to being present its allies being present at the negotiating tables. and that is the stage that we are now at with new round of discussions to take place on wednesday between nato and the russian delegation, where ukraine of course will be a large part of those discussions we've also heard from the nato secretary general, who's pads lowered the ball when it comes to talks, suggesting that a good outcome would be that they would be more talks in the future rather than any concrete action. however, yet still to make has said that when he was prime minister of norway, he had many discussions with russia. and he had found that the russians were open to negotiations. so perhaps there is a ray of lights at the end of the tunnel. it will potty brush if the british prime minister to night brush young, send it to wants to get it social, not political pressure. a league t mail is revealed. another lockdown gathering, evolving the leader in his wife, exclaimed, a 100 dining street staff were invited for a boozy. get together in the high to cove it in 2020 hi all. after what has been an incredibly busy period, it would be nice to make the most of the lovely weather and have some socially distance drinks and the number 10 garden this evening. please join us from 6 p. m, and bring your own booze. well, it seems as though all the prime minister was during, during this pandemic is partying. while everybody was simply in a lockdown, it seems as though the government was acting as if there was a cool. so celebration. in fact, the prime minister chief 8 simply sent out this message saying that the lovely weather in may of 2020 was ample enough reason to host a party. and so invited around a 100 people to a, bring your own booth, downing street garden party. now it's alleged that around 40 people attended this party, including boris johnson. the only problem is the time the rules clearly stated, even reiterated just an hour before that invitation went out. but you can only me talk with one other person from another household and of cool social distance, 2 meters apart. so it's probably not much of a surprise for me to tell you this huge amount of opposition to it, including calls for the prime minister to resign. people will find the utterly outrageous that the most powerful people in the tory government would be using up at number 10 downing street proving yet again that it's one rule for them. and another for the rest of us. if the prime minister had a shred of integrity or an ounce of shane, he would have resign many months ago. boris johnson has consistently shown that he has no regard for the rules he puts in place for the rest of us. at the time, everyone would have known that go into a body was wrong. so how can those run the country of filters was ok? now, number 10 are yet to comment, but forest children has previously and repeatedly said that all guidelines have been followed. of course, metropolitan police and are weighing and considering investigating and the now in communication with the cabinet office. but just to give you a bit of an idea of what was happening at the time here in london on may the 25th, that's 5 days off of this. so for talking 10 days off of that one. and she alleged why rights for children said, the only reason we have been able to make such progress is because the country has observed the social distances. rules feel free to speak to people yourself. if you feel they are not observing the rules as the police will step in if necessary. so it comes as no surprise then it's no wonder that even tories are now losing trust in the government. according to the latest shocking pole. more than a 3rd of tories think the boris johnson should quit and almost 4 in time think he is doing a bad job, of course, considering that is now being dozens of party revelations and allegations floating around during the locked down period. it sounds as though the government was almost on the booze cruise, but it seems as though bar johnson may not go down with his ship. you can radio host, joe gordon says the saga reflects the sorry state of british politics. forrest johnson has absolutely disgusted me. it is completely and utterly wrong when we, the people were following all the advice to the letter and some people were getting fined when they wrote, how did he and other members of haven't if they, with their break their own rules and no man a woman is above the law and the law should take precedence here and they should investigate. it's not good enough that that's going to report in weeks and weeks needs to report now is what this story illustrates. it's just how poor our mainstream politicians are today. they're all pretty useless and you couldn't, but a cigarette paper between them. we've been let down in our country by the political class, the professional political class. they all basically discussed me. so those revelations of darling story gatherings come as europe continues to grapple with high covert infection rates has also been facing valid demonstrations to against the tighter restrictions because of it, with the toughing of matches in germany, the been increasingly agitated, protest there. aah! with every state across the federal republic. seeing some gathering, some of them very small. some of them around a 1000 people, couple a 1000 people or so the major cities like berlin cologne, leipzig, all seeing larger demonstrations. now those protestors who've come out to say absolutely no way to mandatory vaccination in germany. they may well have been boyd by the, the news coming out of austria that the plan to introduce mandatory vaccination there by february is certainly been pushed back at least a month. what we have seen though is state leaders like the one in saxony, michael kirk, chair of the christian democratic union saying that there's, there's a section of society that germany has lost a hold of that no matter what they say, no matter what they do. and these people are not going to accept coven restrictions, and they're not going to certainly accept mandatory vaccination. now we are expecting there to be more restrictions put in place in germany coming up this week or last schoultz the german chancellor will be speaking in parliament later this week. and now overall, the, the message, the coming from the people in germany is that they support these measures that are being put in place. however, as i said, there is a hard core nucleus who are wealth absolutely outraged by what they're saying. we have freedom of expression. we are the people, we are citizens, they are, you have to do your duty. you have to show the government to red car that things should not continue as they have been up to. now. i can pull free vaccination is clearly a violation of the constitution. it's clearly totalitarian and absolutely must be prevent our thought. should it be decided by these criminals who unfortunately, ross now, well elsewhere in europe, in italy, what we're seeing is new restrictions coming in there as well. they've already brought in the super green pass. now already italy had what was called the green pass. this allows and people in bars, restaurants, cafe to see that you tested negative is super green pass that's put in place for the over fifties in italy, specifically that shows that you've been vaccinated and that you have tested negative in the czech republic. there is talk of allowing even people who've tested positive to go to work. it's an attempt to try and keep the economy alive. it is only at the discussion stage at the moment in prague. but what they're basing it on is the idea that the o micron varies results in less people requiring hospital stays and that would allow them to keep the economy going if certain professions were allowed to continue even if you tested positive for cove. and of course, if you have a mild case of it over in the united kingdom, they are also looking at lifting restrictions a little bit, not as extreme as what's being discussed in the czech republic. of course though, they're, you going to see the isolation period for cove at 90 reduced from 7 days to 5 days . this is because they have real staff shortages in the u. k. when it comes to the, the health care sector and in education as well. the education minister in the united kingdom, the education secretary in london saying that they're looking at this. and it's alongside the, the scientific data and they're going to make a decision based on that. i would, but obviously always defer to the scientific advice on this. it would certainly help mitigate some of the pressures on or the schools on critical workforce at ubs . i hope will be one of the 1st years to the question, how will i will be performed? i hope will be one of the 1st major economies to demonstrate to the world how you transition from pandemic to endemic what's going on across europe when it comes to covert 19. and a real patchwork of methods being used to try in both keep economies alive. keep countries open and stifle the spread of the virus. now your correspond the meantime, a french mpg been accosted by a group of protest, his own studies home over the decision to implement coven passports and overseas territories. nick canada pictures posted on social media than show saffo, clara being pelted with seaweed and souls as he was entering his property in saint pierre mac law. the m p is said he'll fall criminal charges against all those involved in the attack. health passports will limit people's movements if they are and vaccinated, say more and more of that outweigh. meantime, here in moscow covered infections have risen 66 percent of the last 24 hours. but so russian health officials say they were prepared for it. with a rapidly spreading, alma kron strain, seen as the key factor. the world health organization has warned that half of europe's population will have been affected with a new strain within the coming weeks. out is donell quarter reports next on the cobit situation here in russia. well, the 1st micron case in russia was detected just about a month ago, but it seems to be spreading across the country like wildfire as usual. moscow and the suburbs were the 1st to take a beating. we saw the number of daily cases rise, a whopping 66 percent over just the previous 24 hours. now, russian medical experts have said that we should have expected a new wave of infections, but that the number of deaths that will probably be looking at in the future will be a lot lower than we've seen in the past. move in still, while the on the kron strains, level of infectiousness is absolutely unprecedented. the level of left ality and the number of hospitalizations might be 60 to 70 percent lower cases. but still with such a level of infectiousness, more people are going to get ill. that was the deputy director of the gamma layer institute that develop sputnik v. he also said that we should expect another wave of new infections come late january, early february. as for the authorities, they promised to keep the situation under control. so we can expect to see some new measures being rolled out on the whole measures in russia have been generally quite lighter than in most european countries. of course, it varies between different regions of the country. but in moscow, at least q r codes are needed to enter cultural institutions like museums and theaters. several months ago, the authorities also discussed possibly instituting q r codes for certain forms of travel, like on airplanes and trains. those measures, however, have not yet been implemented. so with all across making its mark on russia, we have to see what kind of new measures we'll be seeing in the near future. changes by the minute, doesn't it? no, i thought tease world news at a continued to me, kevin went after the break. it is 20 years to the day since the 1st the twenty's arrived at the us guantanamo bay detention center in cuba. for other day we've been hearing testimony from former inmates about the horrors of the cab. and there's more to come the next few minutes to ah ah, ah ah, ah. herman died rumor shaped bankers are those with dares sinks. we dare to ask ah, the good evening. it's friday is the day since the 1st prisoners were taken to the notorious us prison camp at guantanamo bay. we've been hearing about what they went through in date from a d 18 was a bag, was held there for 3 years that ever being charged with any crime. unfortunately, on this anniversary 20 years there are people i spoke to. young boys were no longer young. 1819 years old, who never met at all because they probably be held that child or travel channel list they. so me and i saw 2 people. i saw one prisoner what kinds part of the top of the page being repeated, be punched and kicked them children. the american accepted that this was a homicide. i also was subjects in sounds of a woman screaming in the nest cells that i was led to believe was my wife, while interrogators from the way pictures of my children in front of me and to send me to. ready egypt and syria, if i didn't cooperate so that all sorts of shocking things that were taking place, i say i was only there to 3. is there a few people then up to literally 20 years without charge across the report by human rights watch details. the tragic extend to the systematic abuse of the prison camp, assesses the torture and the legal detention of hundreds of muslims at guantanamo, and calls upon the president joe biden, to repair the damage done. and finally, close the detention center is a brief history of that infamous facility ah ah, with we also spoke to former guantanamo by d. 10 a month. so a day feed spend 14 is there, like many others was never charged with a crime. he says the facilities, very existence is an injustice. i just want to know what 10 am will is a place that re take merge injustice. 110 i'm when i was a simple torture injustice lawlessness. i'm use of power in different dishes. one can only is one of the biggest human right by this and in the 21st century, no law of life. there. no human rights, no any kind of rules or basic, right for, for humans. so guantanamo existence is. a torture is injustice as it is now, it's 20 years and one cannot turn to be a political again, or i'm from democrats and republicans. what want to keep it open because that gives you some kind of publicity or been something more votes? savvy boys, that humanity wouldn't and they know what that was wrong. they don't want them. she exists in the 1st place. human rights lawyer clive stafford smith represent, some of those inmates have been out of the facility and says the process of obtaining justice for the prisoners is long and convoluted. thing that i, as an american lawyer, i'm very ashamed on that. we in the us, have held people indefinitely without trial now for 20 years. in some cases, there's no excuse for that. it's absolutely wrong. it's very, very difficult to explain why it takes a long time and even with a very small number of prisoners. sure, they want true military condition each time we come to the supreme court has been when the us government to assess it, it's right to take keep prisoners without proper trials and each time they've lost . and you would think that here we are 20 as on, surely they've now narrowed down the people since 780 they originally said were the worst terrorists in the world. i think now that get it right, but they haven't. and indeed, one of my clients, i still represent 6 people. and one of my clients is someone who is mistaken for a true terrorist who has torch and for 540 days and then was taken to guantanamo bay while the us captured the real terrorist. and set him free. so it all mad. american retail, a walmart, half the paid leave for work is the test positive for covered almost isolate new company policy says they'll now get just one week off. we heard from a wal mart employee that says, moves putting people's lives at risk. i don't want to have to pay for employees who aren't going to be at work. they'd rather us come to work 6 spread the virus to other people get other people sick. have them have to go on our way even all that. some are afraid, you know, getting a virus. if they get the virus, you know, what are they going to do? if they're still sick after 5 days, i mean, i feel the same way i can coming to work when i'm still have coven spread everywhere. they really don't care. so i put all, all our lives in danger, even more than before, as just not worth. i'm not going to die for wal mart, and i don't think anybody else wants to dr. wal mart either. walmart su policies follow up dated recommendations from the us census for disease control and prevention that allow people to isolate for 5 days after a covered 1900 infections to the 10. a wal mart spokesperson said. they had also introduced a number of other policies to help employees during the crisis, including working from home where possible until the end of january, the surgeon covered cases in the us, those co significant labor shortages. a survey of hourly paid workers from the 65 percent of them who reported being sick in the last month said they went to work anyway. peter norton. again, believe it's because people just can't afford to take the time off. if you have something fever, you still might feel sick, you know, i still not feel well, but you still can come to work. and after 5 days you don't get paid anymore. you don't pay more paid pay leave for that because of that. a lot of people are going to say, even if they do have a fever or something like that, they're going to say that they are foreign because they can't afford to or not, they're not going to pay. so they're still going to come into work sick with the virus and be contagious and spread it to everybody else as very fair to say, i was miss that fact, it was complete negligence on their part. they should not have done that. they should have been thinking of us, but the fact everything in their profits and right after wal mart, announces the policies take, john amazon followed suit and shortened paid, sickly for its work, is to employees will not be entitled to 7 days. instead of the previous 10, the guidelines impact all work is regardless of the vaccination status. meanwhile, similar kind of thing across the atlantic in the u. k. it cares just announce it's cutting sick pay for certain groups of vaccinated workers who have to self isolate for you to see more of what we're talking about. so add r t dot com a main site, but for now that's all it's international world news a day reporting for you. my name is kevin owen for good evening. ah no, when i was shown seemed wrong when i'll prove just don't hold any world to shape out. disdain becomes the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. oh is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation, whole community? are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend. ah, so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. july, an annual festival in saint
