Was hopeless. Hope he speaks exclusively with the team about the progress hes been making was we would be held in this corner in your problem as the daily covert infection rate tops 150000 in america. We look at how politicians flouting, own, and other very good morning. Thanks for joining us here on r. T. International. Moscow has slammed washingtons decision to quit the open skies treaty, which allows aerial surveillance flights warning that the move will undermine international security. I can discuss this story more detail that with r. T. Correspondent whos been across this world. So the u. S. Is backed out of this, its a big treaty, has been running for several years. Whats the russian reaction but, and in response to that, of course we are hearing critical remarks from the russian government to moscow is disappointed to say the least that the American Administration is kicking out the lex from under the treaty for which as the russian side is putting it, washington has no legitimate reasons whatsoever. Moscows maintaining that the claims of violations on the part of russia, of the treaty that has been enforced for 18 years are all made though a made up story. Plus no one seen any proof of these kind of russian violations from the americans. Russian officials believe that the u. S. Government was lying that under certain conditions it was ready to stay in that treaty. And these sumption from the russian side is that moscow was deliberately sorry that the u. S. Was deliberately destroying the agreement, and that it was all part of an earlier plan. In recent months, washington has hypocritically stated that in the keys of a change in the russian position, it could reconsider its decision. In fact, no one there had planned to reconsider anything that was again for the public designed to mislead foreign governments and the public of european states that were urging washington to come to its senses. Something else that is very important to add here that moscow believes the ultimate goal of the u. S. Government was to seek a ban on russian flights over u. S. Military sites in europe. Plus, moscow believes that the Us Administration wants to get the data on european flights in the russian air space, which is also very important. Previously under the open skies treaty. This kind of exchange of information was banned. So moscow is saying that it will put pressure on the European Countries to make sure that all the other signatories, apart from the u. S. Stay committed to that treaty. And clearly the message from moscow is also that this withdrawal by the American Administration really undermines transparency and collective security in europe. I dont think anything unusual in russia and the United States, not seeing eye to eye on the matter, having different opinions on it though. Of course, dozens of other members to this treaty. How do they view things . Well, there is russia, there used to be the u. S. As part of the treaty, but there are also 33 other countries that are signatories to this agreement, including such important european players, germany, france, spain, the u. K. And i can tell you that in general, the message from europe has been critical. They dont want this agreement to fall apart. Heres what we heard from the German Foreign minister. We deeply regret that the United States has decided to take this step and is now implementing its iran position of the treaty remains unchanged. We consider rich to be an important part of the arms control architecture that contributes to Building Mutual trust in the us to greater security in the Northern Hemisphere from stoke to vancouver. But whats very important is that were not only hearing regrets about the move by the trumpet, ministration from europe, because there are voices of concern being heard from across the atlantic as well. The administrations decision to withdraw from the open skies treaty is reckless. I strongly believe that president trumps decision to withdraw from the treaty is a violation of domestic law. President trump brazenly ignored the law and is unilaterally imposing a politically charged withdrawal even after losing a president ial election. The ironic aspect here is that actually the open skies treaty was proposed by america back in 1952, but it only entered into force in 2002. And now we understand that this of course follows similar tactics by the donald trump administration. We remember how they were pulling up from various kinds of treaties that were seen as landmark for the entire planet. You can name those that are now that, that have to do with security. Most notably the intermediate range Nuclear Forces treaty. Then there was the paris Climate Change accord. I mean, you name it. So this is probably just another step that the over that we could have expected from the donald trump administration. Even though hes a lame duck president , hes continuing to do what hes been doing pretty much for these 4. Yeah, and who knows . Things change if and when joe biden becomes president of america. Ok, we want to great interest. Thanks for the update. Rissa phobic fables. Thats how moscows described in the New York Times latest job. This is for a russia correspondent with successful candidates expected to do with hit squads, cyber agents, shadowy, military figures and secretive operations. The description of russia has struck some as more like the plot of a spine movie design hes done off, explains fact, and fiction are frequently confused. What youre about to hear. Sounds like its being ripped straight from the blog buster screenwriters playbook. Vladimir putins russia remains one of the biggest stories in the world. It sends out hit squads on with nerve agents against its enemies. Most recently, the Opposition Leader alex, in nevada, only. It has its cyber agents, so chaos and disharmony in the west to tarnish its democratic systems while promoting its phone version of democracy. It is deployed private military contractors around the globe to secretly spread its influence. At home, its hospitals are filling up fast with coated patients as its present hides out in his villa. I mean, add some dramatic music. Do a cool video, add it pepper the whole thing with a few explosions here and there. And youve cooked up a trailer for the next hit limited series on netflix, but no, its not that not by a long shot. Its actually the opening of a job for a russian reporter with the New York Times page searches for unbiased, to impartial or balance. Come a blank, no results found in the text. Not that its much of a secret though, that the New York Times isnt that interested in covering a happy russia. Cynically speaking, it makes perfect sense. Positive stories from russia dont tickle the fancy of pulitzer prize. Judges, allegations lacking evidence or though do just believe in the bogeyman. But some readers werent that impressed with the sudden spasm of honesty from the paper. Did the see any right, New York Times, new russia, crisp on in job bad. Its interesting that the New York Times openly admits that it has a predetermined propaganda narrative. They want to push about russia before their new correspondent even gets there. Their job is basically writing anti russia since ational ism, that their editors want, instead of real reporting. Weve been in touch with the New York Times for comment. You know, both sides of the story and all that. But weve yet to hear anything back from them. I initially thought it was satire, i didnt think it was real. And then i went on the new times website and read it. And its really kind of an obituary journalist. The role of a Foreign Correspondent is to be bicultural. It is to get into that culture and explain how they view reality. And here you have this narrative, pre written, narrative, demonization, really of russia and vladimir putin. And i have to say that theres nothing in that description that the United States doesnt do in spades and far worse. And so why even open of bureau in moscow . Why have somebody spend hundreds of hours studying russian and reading russian history and literature and, and culture . Why not . Why not have algorithms do it . It was absolutely appalling, but its part of the siloing of the American Press to serve a particular demographic. In the case of the New York Times, it is a Democratic Party based readership. Its a way to make sure that whoever they send to russia feeds back to them what, what they want. A texan man, suffering from a rare muscle disease has come all the way to russia for treatment. And spencer was told by home in the u. S. That there was no treatment available. But since arriving in the russian city of paris, but hes made significant progress and shared his story with us in an exclusive interview. I had to use this everywhere. I went when i was going to, when i was in part c. Koon, what without it i was thinking i was with alan spencer. Could have been dead by now or in a wheelchair or bad band. Thats what doctors back home in america told him 5 years ago. I used to use this all the time. It was absolutely necessary. Im going to go now into scary people walking in an incredibly allen has escaped all those outcomes. When i started to notice a Little Something with my hands, they were going to go on like this. So that not some sound, right, but i didnt have any problem with strength, so i didnt think i heard anything wrong. 2012 came, i had a fall and i was like, whoa, that was unusual. 2014 i came again and i had a really bad fall. It was like, ok, theres something wrong, something wrong happened to be a rare inflammatory muscle disorder known as inclusion, body myositis between 5. 70 people per 1000000 habit. They said theres nothing we can do for its completely untrue dribble. What did you feel when you were in that will i wasnt as disappointed as you would think. My father had died of a form of a. O. S. And so i thought, well thats as a doctor said, good news and bad news. The good news is youre not going to die. The bad news is youre going to be totally respect for the Vice President of Time Warner Cable for west texas as successful man allen had to quit his job in 2017. He simply wasnt able to work anymore. The disease was eaten away, his muscles, stealing his abilities and his life. But then he heard from a friend about a clinic in perm russia that could potentially treat him at 1st. He didnt take it seriously. My friend andy had said in, in february theres going to be a wedding are about this clinic that i think might be able to help you. Are you interested in this kind of like, well, not really. I didnt tell him the way to be perfectly honest with you. You know, i dont, i think is an american youre, you probably have a stereotype of what the breast in hospital looks like. If mayo says that nothing can be done. Probably nothing can be that the sentiment email gave my email interest. The next day i got a, an email back from the director. The c. E. O. Actually of the clinic and they govern touch with me all winter and said if you come we think we can help you. We are not sure to what degree, but we do believe that we can actually help you a glimmer of hope was born. But coming to russia in the middle of the college, 19, penn, jamming with borders shot and planes grounded, it seemed like mission impossible. Back in may one of the gals from marty called dandy and said, hey, hows your medical tourism . But Building Business doing, he said not so well that started the process of foreign ministry, got in touch with us. It took 17 months to finally come to russia and it was worth every single day of trying. He says, so they started me on this treatment of injections and infusions. And the neurologist put this Magnetic Field on my here, pulsing through. And what it does is it wakes up the neurons in the head. So they started to move in the wake of the muscles, my eye could actually swallow better and i could talk a little easier if i would, you know, world, this is starting to actually work. What turned out was we were getting this world class held help in this clinic in perm russia. If we can get travel to open up, i really intend to work within. Do you know others to get people here from america . Its a wonderful thing. I mean, it shouldnt be a secret. Here you go. Wow, good job, out of the us is currently breaking ever grimmer. Pandemic records with the daily infection rate now at 150000. 00 and some states are stepping up their response. Texas is sending people text messages, urging them to cancel holiday gatherings in pennsylvania masks are now obligatory, even at home. While an overnight curfew has just been imposed by californias governor, though hes already been caught breaching his own restrictions on the scale of morpeth. Explain zs not the only politician either to violate coronavirus measures. The centers for Disease Control are urging americans to visit their relatives for the holiday. They say its better to stay home this thanksgiving, yet another warning aims to protect Public Health. Were talking about intensifying the simple Public Health measures that we all talk about squaring, steeping, distance, avoiding congregate city, doing things to the extent that we can outdo his verses in those states across the country are imposing special regulations. But some of the politicians and officials whove been imposing stricter regulations are not exactly following their own rules. Take, for example, the governor of california who has called for drastic action the notion of a curfew. You know, before you jump in terms of your mindset, of whether its a good idea or bad idea, we are assessing that as well. That very same politician was caught partying at an upscale restaurant with top lobbyists. He then tried to present it as an outside party. Well, these photos obtained by a local t. V. Channel show that that is just not true. Also at the party were executives from the California Medical Association who insist the party was strictly adhering to procedures. Yet none of them seem to be wearing masks. U. S. Senator Diane Feinstein has been out on the front lines urging americans to cover their faces. But take a look at this the only one not wearing a mask. Then theres the mayor of chicago. She has been urging people to stay home and be safe. You must cancel the normal things, giving plants, but she has had no problem going out herself. Right. Im sure. And then there is the d. C. Mayor and her staff that attended bidens victory bash in delaware. Even though the d. C. Advisory lists delaware as a high risk state, nobody is happy about the restrictions, but people are even less happy about them when it seems that they dont apply to certain people. The very people who are imposing them. R. T. New york, with countries around the will grappling with the 2nd wave of the pandemic. The prospect of an imminent vaccine has raised hopes, but theyre also fees. Poor countries will be priced out. Something that was discussed by the director of the International Vaccine institute in the latest episode of going underground. The Gates Foundation, their Research Suggests that global covert debts will double if high Income Countries buy up the 1st 2000000 doses of any successful vaccine. Do you agree with thats a great study and weve been using it to advocate for something called codex kodaks intends to purchase 2000000000. 00 doses, and those doses will be provided to everyone and what cannot, is paper the Gates Foundation paper you quoted says, is that if the 1st 2000000000 dose are taken without any consideration of equity, then there will be a doubling of go global covert deaths. Hence, the reason why i call backs needs to be successful, needs to be fully funded, needs to be funded beyond the 1st year into the 2nd year when we had, when we had previous coronaviruses research funding, dried up, which presumably might have made this vaccine reserves a much quicker this to have, i think with co that we benefited actually from the ebola crisis. Everyone realized was that this is not the way to handle a pandemic. So they got together and they found it seppi the coalition for epidemic preparedness innovations which dedicates itself to making vaccines for operate diseases. So within 2 weeks of the, you know, announcement of the sequence for corona virus or novel coronavirus, now covert 19 seppi have started funding companies. And so by you know, the middle of march, we actually had a vaccine in a human being. So the world learned from the lesson of, of all of saudi arabia or the leading a global push to tackle the pandemic with affordable widespread vaccination. The kingdom hosted. This is g. 20 summit. Where will they discuss the united response to the Current Crisis by sedation took center stage at the gathering. You committed 500000000. 00 to do that. And we also made addition contributions to the world health organization. And we will continue to, to help in the development in the companies that are working again. But he says that is being made of flotsam. A person also said in his summit speech that vaccines should be the property of all of humanity, and that russia is willing to talk the fast time that south ought to provide countries in need without vaccines, without your way pippi one of those and does it support a playful program like that, we would certainly be a party to, to that effort. And if any vaccine is developed, its other events will also be made available to the entire ward biden, in the pasta house, cool to saudi arabia, a quote, pariah state, and not snatching a for the long running military campaign in yemen. How is saudi arabia thing to deal with such, anita . Well, im sure that we will be developing good, stronger relationship with mr. Bidens ministration in the same manner that we have developed good as strong relations with tens of administrations before that we have declared that one sided ceasefire several times in yemen, talking about humanitarian situation and the threats of famine. All of that is happening in the territories controlled by the who sees because of the fact that theyre getting and obstructing the delivery of International Aid to the, to these affected areas. China is calling for a socalled global fire wall to come by the spread of carbon 19 and to allow cross border travel to recede. As part of the plan, president xi jinping has suggested a global system of q. R. Codes. China has proposed a global mechanism for the meet recognition of health says if its based on nucleic acid test results in the form of internationally accepted q. R. Codes. We hope more countries will join this mechanism. Chinas been using q. R. Codes to prove Health Status since february the system is being questioned in the west on data privacy grounds. Although europes proposed similar schemes, including the idea of immunity passports in the u. K. , its an issue we put up for debate. These tests that we have a lot of false negatives, a lot of false positives. And you are now better track and trace. We werent going in terms of this town or that this incredibly dangerous as i would for my safety and youre seeing in the United States as well as across the globe. The people are starting to rise up saying enough stop, protecting me. I wouldnt live my life the way id choose. The reason that travels collapse is not the pandemic. Its the lockdowns. I mean, since march 12th, europe has not been able to fly to the u. S. And europe retaliated and we cant fly there. And now were living under this agreed just situation where yeah, we once believed in the right to travel, but thats been denied to us so many people been locked in their nation states right now. The answer is to is, liberalism is deliberate, travel, liberate and recognize human rights. Again, there have been studies that show that the virus respond differently in different regions. That there are different conditions and different places, Population Based on climate and so forth. So, you know, we dont want a lot of all standards because Global Standards means what down, in fact, this is just unbelievable. I really dont care about cases. I care about the death rate and the death rate is very slow. And again, we have to be very cautious with technology because once we turn the saw, its very hard to turn off, they will never relinquish. I mean, passports were supposed to be temporary and really bristol stuck with them. Ok, thanks waking up with artsy, international this morning. Ill return with updates on our top stories in just over 30 minutes. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest on the world of politics. Im sure. Ill see you then. Then walk by wagon that he will go back. Ill go on board will pull you out of a bit in the mouth and they will want to bet. And i did india. It will always be the good. Is it worth the muslims or no one else home on a cotton to keep it or dont or dont let you people come up to the group. Come on, get about the how i live and im mad at them and the money because im not everything. But only that if i say i love them, theyre gonna like about it. And that al, they all mean its as if it is about its been decades since the fall of spains fascist regime, but old wounds still havent healed. Im going to go i lows into the oven, thought it was pretty famous. Because for me, from a girl, do you owe me coffee to market economy supposed to me on the bus at the serves me. There were that i noticed that they seem caught in which we know sells ins of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption. That only bought about i was the other for feaster, my own role as a fellow mentor to this day mothers still search for grown children. While adults look in hope for their birth parents. Newly elected u. S. President s invariably well to steer the country in a fresh, bold direction. This time, those things may be a bit different, at least on foreign policy. Joe biden has promised to reengage with allies and restore the us his position as leader of the democratic world. Now, will the Biden Administration befall him on the global stage . Will we see a new approach or a return to the old ways . Is your media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safe . High salacious community . Are you going the right way or are you being led away . What is true . What is faith . In the world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths or remain in the shallow hello and welcome to crossfire where all things are considered on Peter Lavelle with nothing really settled. Some of trumps enemies want the president and his supporters to pay a price for the past 4 years and his hours of war as trump tries to bring troops home. Some say he instead wants to start a war to discuss these topics and more, im joined by my guest, george samueli in budapest. Hes an author and you to work at the gaggle. And here in moscow, were joined by robert french. He is, they are 2 writer and political analyst, right gentlemen, crossed up rules in effect, that means you can jump in anytime you want. And i was appreciate it. Oh, its going to georgia in budapest, or i suppose were entering the baby political phase of revenge or not to revenge here. There is circles around biden that say that if he were, if and when he is inaugurated and doesnt want to pursue trump, but a considerable part of the base his base. And of course the media does because, well, trump is the gift that keeps on giving. I mean their ratings, they should think this president has the f. P. And when is leaving george, what is this . I mean, you know, they, they, they were criticizing the lack of transition. What was they wont bomb a administrations transition to democracy . Probably the most you legal in american history. Ok. And they but no, they want to punish people, the president and people around him, the last 4 years, kind of hypocritical. Yes, there are just that are right. And whats really going on here is a practice that the United States has it engaged in for a number of years. It is not enough to beat somebody. You merely a, that person you have to punish that was done in order to teach others a lesson. And a lesson that has to be learned is that never, never, never go down this populist again. So thats why theres always dog now, i mean weve had articles in the New York Times, new york of your books, the nation that we have to punish donald trump. I havent quite figured out what it is theyre going to put him on trial for what crime did because of committed. But they know that hes a criminal, that kind of figure out later on what, what are the crimes, once they subpoena, or his documents or his account, or his Bank Statements going back out into how many decades theyre hoping that theyre going to find something that they can put him on trial or alternatively just on
