ah, ah, that's the message coming from joe biden. i had talked with his russian counterpart as well. that media goes into overdrive with allegations of an imminent invasion of ukraine. or moscow says it's nato schools in the friction in the region with energy prices across europe at a high this winter heating bills for homes in the u. k. could soon be set to double the got into a fuel poverty monitor, leaving some, it's fair to choose between heat and food government and not taking any steps to talk to reduce blue pool or through poverty. so canadian stranded in south africa say they feel abandoned by the government after ottawa's, the post army kong restrictions on returning correct mass confusion. it really

struck me that it is citizens, really trying to help citizens. it's not the government trying to help citizens. and i think it really needs to be the other way around. plus the president of the red cross federation speaks exclusively to r t in a wide ranging interview. touching on everything from the meet the close of vaccine cooperation to the brother russian border migrant crisis. ah, i that very good morning. thanks for joining me here on our most go has rebuffed claims that it is poised to invade ukraine, saying they bear no relation to reality. adding that it's the american sewer acting belligerently in the region. and as western media and politicians of rach did up speculation about

a possible war and with the u. s. and russian presidents said to talk by phone on tuesday, joe biden looks in no mood to negotiate. yes, oh, of course the diplomacy is out and red lines are there to be crossed when the big bad wolf is planning a land grab ring a bell. a similar warning came in the spring when russian troops gathered for snap training exercises. and again, when military drills were conducted in crimea, and only recently moscow was supposedly the mastermind of a qu, in key of remember the currency of no mean either because it didn't happen. in fact, none of the predictions came true, but this time apparently it's different. this time, it's the real deal, and to feed the fair, they're even drawing up the kremlin battle plans the new year offensive. and for

the umpteenth time this year, russia is forced to defend the presence of its own troops on its own land. russia is not a threat to any country. the deployment of russian troops on the national territory is our sovereign roy and no one's business. it is nato on its members states a recklessly moving their military forces and infrastructure to the russian borders . so what is washes red line, us spy pained jetting towards russia's borders. passenger jets with hundreds of civilians on board, diverted because an nato re complain was to close and wouldn't respond to ground control. the actions by the u. s. air force created a threat to civilization and the fact that the catastrophe was averted over the backseat doesn't mean that the u. s. and nato can go on the risk in people's lives with impunity. the latest american war ship sailing into waters bordering russia. what the shows was nature, you know, a us warship has now entered the block. see,

we can see it through binoculars or the crosshairs of a defense system. shoot you a better one or multiple missile systems just across the face. it was a bit more to look at where nato's military infrastructure is located, just a short distance from our borders in romania and poland. lansing massage defense systems have already been deployed and they can easily be converted into offensive missile systems that targets us. it only takes a matter of minutes to change the software. now, instinct tells me that if a russian destroy was spotted steaming into new york harbor, it would be a flaming red line for washington. but believe it or not for us all, this is a pink line at best. the real issue is nato, or rather, nato's expansion and expanded it has from this humble state in 1990 to this empire in 2020. now, back in the day, russia was promised, nato would grow, not one inch eastward of berlin. wel, that's berlin. so no,

it's not an inch. it's over a 1000 kilometers. and now it's knocking at rushes door. ukraine joining nato and we've been talking about it for a long time is a red line for us. the continual drawing of keys into the military over to the alliance, the de facto start of natives, assimilation of the military infrastructure of this country. and the desire to turn it into a foothold for confrontation with russia could all cause severe negative consequences and destabilize the military. and political situation in europe, but lucky for nato, it's got a get out of jail free card. because in politics whoa promises are made to be broken. where is that? where is that written down? where is that from? was written down and under the religious friends among only the rich girls that you didn't call erica, when i stuck. norwood in the mean time, the us unfazed by it's terrible track record of predicting russian behavior is covering its bases and drawing up some economic sanctions. you know, just in case,

after all, nothing screams diplomacy more than getting your threats in a row before high stakes meeting. carnival this took an invasion, is got you wondering what is really going on? why not check out the views of scott ritter on our website. the u. s. x intel offset as my n is it reads y and r t dot com we discuss the latest diplomatic spat was michael belief, former senior security policy analyst in the office of the u. s. secretary defense . he says this is a case of double standards. i think that by this constant harassment in the black sea, in an area halfway remove from from the united states and going right up against the borders of the russian federation. i think really isn't aggressive move the exercise in the black sea area was in response to the failures and the expulsion of the united states from afghanistan. so the united states has to show re

assertiveness that it's still a leader in the so called free world. it lacks any recognition really, spheres of influence, just like if the russians were to come into the area of gulf of mexico tomorrow, you can believe that there would be a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth in washington. the united states feels that it can do it the others, but it cannot be done to itself as part of that exceptionalism concept that the united states like to child around the world, in a sort of a provide a way. and it's getting tiring. brits could soon be having to play doubles the heat, the households according to the u. k. fuel poverty monitor, citing a planned increase to the energy price count next april. so estimated some 4000000 british households are currently behind on their energy bills. use winter, $10000.00 deaths nationally, a caused by cold homes and the ladies polish, just half the countries more worried about the cost of heating than they are about . cope it. now london city con, recently announced

a new 51000000 pound funding package to help those living in fuel poverty. ms. anderson, founder of a company that provides emergency heating to the elderly, says millions of brits will face a daily heat or each dollar the fuel. quite surely, united kingdom is better because the usage is very high. the cost is very high with usage. people that have to pick which he think of the whole all put it on the table, in my opinion, my honest opinion, the cosmic are not taking any steps at all. who are you, who you or who pompey, within the united kingdom in the correct manner over in europe, fears afield, poverty are also growing with energy prices high and winter, reducing the impact of green energy government. so resorting to aid to help our poor homes as well as businesses to shannon davinsky takes

a closer look at the bitter cold hits europe. everyone is doing their best to stay warm, but as natural gas prices are 5 times higher than they were a year ago, there is a real concern that states across the block could face shortages or even potential blackouts. many including luca here in paris face a winter full of difficult decisions, says quantities, oh no, yeah, and we have already received a reminder for the charges for heating once that's increased, while at the same time we have less heating. so myself and several tenants are really worried about the choices we will have to make. people are already having difficulty, so it's not easy. we feel a little neglected. living hand to mouth is worrying a, becoming more normal in some of you rips richest nations. that the bristles literally feel safe. we'll have to make choices. we will have to buy cheaper foods

that are less nutritional. we have problems like that. people will lose their health. tens of millions of people in europe are already living in energy poverty. and there are fears that this figure is about to see a steep rise. europe's energy crisis has been building for months. now. governments across the block of try to put in place measures in an attempt to alleviate the strain on households. for example, here in france, the poorest households are to receive a one off payment over a 100 years to help them shield from those price rises, italy has put in place a 3000000000 euro aid package, while the spanish government has passed emergency measures that redirect billions of euro's from profit of energy companies to consumers in a bid to lower their bills. yet, despite such measures,

many fear they simply will not be enough. what is the structural problem in anna? she policy shaping and policy making in many countries is who is really in charge. we have an interaction of various authorities, bodies in a liberalized electricity world, which has also been there now for more than 20 years. and so did the competence. so to see who does what is, is one issue. and on the other hand, we have seen various governments of being very much occupied with themselves in the case of germany, elections forming off the government in the case of austria, various and changes, sir. so there is an energy in my eyes, it's still not yet having to priority. it should house. here in france, there is,

it puts it killer, worry. now, while most of the energy does come from nuclear stocks of the electricity that generates from that i said to be low and there is concern that a hard winter could see the country actually run out of power like the previous winter supply security remains on the particular vigilance, especially in january and february, in case of cold and unfavourable generation conditions, electricity consumption has recovered but remains slightly lower than the pre crisis situation. at the same time, nuclear generation remains low. it's not just france that is experiencing those low energy stocks throughout the e. u. member states are facing the same issue of various sources of energy including natural gas. why? well, although the pandemic, so large scale industry and even workplace is pretty much closing down when the locked downs were lifted, the demand short straight back up. and the companies just haven't been able to keep

pace. to add to that b e u is also trying to move towards renewable energy, such as wind power, yet low winds. in 2021 have meant that they've been less renewable energy being produced. speaking of alternatives, and it's all about stocking electricity. it's in january that in this part of the northwestern hemisphere, ah, you have the wind still dazed. the wind is really not that heavy like an autumn or spring. and the sun doesn't push through the clouds. so it's, it's rather dull. and as these have always steamed the days, bits and of generation where experts have been warning against air, possibly, jason broke up in a t r. i of a stand still in the world of renewables. photovoltaic and went fox, the one that is now in the thought of come back is nuclear and her

that i always say within 2 european union. not only that, we don't dispose of a common attitude policy. we don't even dispose of something like a common energy mentality. as may say, because that is a completely different attitudes to for instance, nuclear energy, l, east and west of the rhine. some you countries, m b, u. s. a still opposing russia's completed nord stream to pipeline saying it would make you far too reliant on russian gas. others that you say that link is vital so that people can keep that homes at reasonable prices. such political games could end up pushing more people into fuel poverty this winter, and even cost them that lives. charlotte, even ski r t, paris a quickly now some of the stories around the world starting with

france, where next year's election is already creating tension. ah, how these were the scenes at the 1st rally of rightly presidential hopeful air exert more who's known for his anti immigration views. the anti racism back to this simple traces event on summer was making his way to the stage man charged at him. briefly putting him into a headlong thousands of demonstrators marched through the belgian capital to protest against anti cobit restrictions. brought places, water cannon to disperse, the protest as some of whom through flesh, in return over the weekend that was similar valleys, across europe, including austria, france, and slovenia. a local ethiopian community gather to protest in the lebanese capital they route their against us interference in ethiopia, which is gripped by conflict. the main rebel group fighting the government is the 2

great people's liberation front, the country under sanctioned by the u. s. as slammed washington fractions, it says the jitterbug, the separatist group, the canadian government is being accused of leaving its citizens in south africa in the lurch without a clear way of returning home. confusing rules have been imposed by all to were in the wake of the new omicron varies, allowing flights only to one particular airport in frankfurt. i correspond it in south africa, fall asleep, has more dozens of canadians off stranded in south africa after the canadian government announced it would not accept the result of covetous done in this country. the uproar led to a last minute change. now if you book a flight to frankfurt and only frank for no other german city and you arrived in canada within 48 hours of leaving south africa, you'll be met in confusing and stressful to say the least. we know you've now heard the bad news that you're not going to be able to board the flight night. a group of

travelers with kicked off a flight at the last minute after they arrived at the a port and we're waiting to board a plane out of the country. first came the announcement that canadian citizens were only a now to fly back to canada via ethiopia, where they would have to get out of the a port go to a hotel, do a covert taste and wait for the results. but get the e c o p s is on canada's no fly list because of the civil war they. so ottaway is potentially prepaid to home, its own citizens safety rather than have them to a co, the taste in this country. canadians are stranded in south africa, they're definitely trying to get assistance from this government. they're having to jump through hoops just to find in affordable pcr tests or a safe flight back home. it really struck me that it is citizens, really trying to help citizens, citizens of south africa, and marquez citizens of canada. it's not the government trying to help citizens. and i think it really needs to be the other way around the canada saying we trust

south african scientists enough to block our own citizens from getting home and put so many different obstacles in place for them to get home. but at the same time, we don't have time to take them so you can't be tested in south africa. and that makes absolutely no sense to me. when goldman was in south africa with her husband, where she celebrated her father, when he was 90th birthday, she was one of the lucky few to get to frankfort some way she spoke with us while in transit. basically, you need to have it to even start africa. you just get on the flight to germany, then you need to and you know, in trends that they will be robbing toronto. we have a case, we then have to current teen and hotel. and so we get back negative if it's negative, we allowed to go home that have to current teen for the 14 days as well as get a taste on day. and even if it's negative, we still have to quarantine for 14 days. i just don't understand why they want to

fix that problem. me. but then in coming to us, it's actually causing chaos. in south africa, i've had a group of what we've been over like of the next few weeks now to 100 people. and it was in a panic. so those canadians currently here they have a massive scramble to swap tickets by new ones and get co, the test results, no mean feat. when south africa's covert figures are wising and the pasting centers cannot promise, they'll get the results out quickly. options are running out for those canadians stuck in the country as they try to navigate confusing travel rules. simply to get back home. policy, our teeth, johannesburg, south africa, the president of the red cross federation school for greater cooperation with russia vaccines. i made the remarks during a video conference with lydia through to mr. francisco rocker also give an exclusive interview to on to discussing, not only the world cove it and also the poland, valerie migrant crisis. this was early wrong with my colleague. rescission

is the beginning there. believe me, i did it on them. it has been politicized to look at they, they did, they did the level of the fake news or the day even political leda has to spread around the world. so this is something that unfortunate has been pretty decisive bukasa it has to do with the fear of the people. it's up to the political leader to follow they, they advise is coming from their sankey community to least and not to them, to walk with them, to avoid the total, to vote at the, on the same level. and he's also the media is an important responsibility. this mtv community and people and there was some counting in 9. you can union, for example, we administer that. so doza, while in africa we sta, louisa raised that tesa temper, sandy, wounded, engrossed with 0 percent. so something that says, morgana said that we are ready to rule so far,

we are ready to scale up our activities in africa, by deity, the shoes about our audited, the vaccines to have access to the vaccines. we have to put pressure on the pharmaceutical companies. there you will be an union, the united states, a u. k. we invested a b on solve dollars in the researcher to, to the dual to make this vaccine accessible. so why the boy discount in the developing counties that, that did not de right that to have access. so i think these, it should be a common road, not something that said belong to the, to the, from a central, you know, company the media and the governments are continuing to ring the alarm bells over this very end. but we're having the w h o, the chief australian medical officer and the south african medical association saying don't panic. what do you say we should follow the. the advisors coming from the debris had shaw, and this and d. v. community saw dwarfed, and a political lead us and the government's out substituting a there this and given community in dealing with a call in 19 and, and it is

a deal to may davie then sat in terms of our over ah, did they did the reason why we have these new vari answer, so we have called it will. you may davy, the incident. so without, i brought my vaccination without giving access to any human beings up to the like. seas de risk of new volumes, sir? leis age of very high aga, and we can not blame also, these is another aspect of it, for as is, it is of concern windata. we can not blame the south africa scientists, a tool to ha, for a heavy anger. i opened the door to the scientific community about these new discovery galaxy i think was i was it with idea. unfortunately, it is not working as expected. so the number of distribution of the vaccine swell comb michael that sir is i ism, is not so high aga and i, we, we expected much more ride themself. general she from the international community

and there. and they had the idea that was a good idea. he will start to, to give the priority and then some distribution by called access to the medical doctors to the nazis that are working on the front line. and unfortunately this is working or less the 50 percent so far. so then i'm, they said very, very, very low and that is, is her eyes and i did aspect of the international community should take as easily in consideration. so we have to do more intensive distribution and giving access the bellow, split cross with this part of the international federation. i see that the moment is dead winger i good job. of course, this is now not a mid term long term solution that area hosted in a shelter era, but so far they are in a warmer environment. and then we are engaging in ag sketch when we de mer men, the government of mendosa tool to find other solution out for them and put on the unfortunately we don't have access said to the board to unfortunately am not even.

and it is. i said he's on a full consent for my says that i'm not surprised about 30 european union now, and they were just county ira reacting in dealing with the human beings. this is, and i'm wondering if we are losing our humanity because it's not about every county has the right to say that policies for migrations. we are not questioning it some outside of the, the humanity on which we have to, to treat every human beings. this is the only point that we are raising. okay, that brings you up to date enough. forget we have more new stories covered on our website. you can check them out. i going to r t dot com. ah . well, driven by dreamers shaped bank for some of those with

dares sinks, we dare to ask in oh, is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being that 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

challenge. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race group is on often very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time to sit down and talk awe back, breaking, toil, forced labor stress,

industrial injury. corporal punishment. oh no. words with which we're all familiar. are you certain that the world you live in abolish slavery long ago? with ah, is it on your own thing?

are you oh no, no, no, but they just didn't valuable. mm hm. that's been happening my middle now i own my head up my lap and i had a knuckle. but my love bob didn't thought now along with it a bit a well, i mean i have the collision spoke with sonya young. i didn't get that and i ah, on own island in the philippines. boom, top pinot and baron gay. the philippines underwater klondike were divers here. find gold beneath the waves. just off the coast.

ah, this is selena milan just like all the others. he came to pendleton to make his fortune with him while he's doing so. civil rena tells us how things work around here. ah, ah, nice shape uncle. i no longer winkle mattress and a boy. i merrill, no apple magician. i did. and i, you know, up on asking alumni, marketed with the 1st people to find gold here with the spanish, as early as the 18th century. but within a 100 years,

balloon float got in the way. in the 20th century, americans came but was swept away by a typhoon. for decades, big corporations have kept selling the mine own could eventually we're driven out by low margins. and once they'd all gone, the gold drivers moved in and nothing it all i made up bugging in thought. the hail ma zailynn and the lame dog malibu matthew thought in son who had known the problem with the works carried out here is that the gold, divers cripple coastal integrity with leading tunnels.
