the largest and most powerful plan in such a situation. it's remarkable to survive in the stores, they shake the weak hair nighty tension, spiral labour ukrainian ship that approach, rushing waters with an authorization something moscow slammed as a provocative and threatening action cross also to come described as a dark day for journalism during the song support his last name to the london high court freely to allow his possible expedition to the united states. yet another hearing is now needed to decide is not a case that is being poured on the basis of the law. this is an absolute, tried to steal any legal process. and devastating tornadoes tear 3 parts of the united states with testing. kentucky alone said to be more 7 ah,

i welcome the latest developments, the look back and what's been happening over the last 7 days to you watching weekly, here on our t international. tensions of ukraine ran. hi, this week with russia slamming the west refueling. the escalation and voicing concern at night actions in the region. moscow says they could potentially lead to a large scale conflict where the escalation occurred after ukrainian navy ship approach rushing waters without authorization on thursday evening. a move that russia regarded as a threat to the navigational safety of other vessels in the area. ukraine denied all allegations and insisted the ship was an alarm. search and rescue vessel that never entered restricted borders or posed any threat. and it did eventually change course where ukraine was the main topic of discussion between vladimir putin and

joe biden. on tuesday, the us president pointed out what he called the threatening nature of russian troop movements near the training border and said severe sanctions were being drawn up. moscow though, and says he can move its troops wherever it wants on its own territory. are saying it's nato, which is making dangerous moves, remnant spokesperson talk to arti, about how nato's actions are being perceived in russia. is through the 92 acres, which are the rhetoric coming from the u. s. and e. u leaders sounds pretty aggressive. we see plenty of fake news about russia allegedly planning and aggressive invasion at the same time, no one talks to key of non warns key of against even thinking of a military intervention in the done yet elegance, conflict, williams, tom outpatient. mit, now we see that nato is taken an extremely aggressive position burst. they all say they don't accept any red lines. second, they say that nato will do whatever it wants. 3rd, it will do it on whatever territory it wants forth. all of this is aimed to deter

russia. we do not like that. we will do everything to ensure our own interests. now, while ukraine and the west to case russia of arming the self proclaimed republics in east in ukraine, the u. s. is openly sending arms ticky of washington revealed that 30 javelin anti tank miss. our systems were delivered to ukraine in october as part of a $60000000.00 military aid package. and a further $200000000.00 could be on the table to where russia has long insisted that native does not expand its presence further east, closer to russia's borders. joe biden, though, doesn't seem to think that applies to him. yes. oh. of course, the diplomacy is out and red lines of that 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 the 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 u. s. warship has now entered the block, seeing what we can see it through binoculars or the cross hairs of other than system system. a better one or multiple missile systems just across the it would it be possible to look at where nato's military infrastructure is located? just a short distance from our borders. in romania, poland. worship, 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 or bit of 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, well promises are made to be broken. there is that where is that written down? where is that from was written down. and under the rumor, this friend of mine will enrich good that you didn't call erica, want us to collaborate to do it. in the meantime, the u. s. unfazed, by its terrible track record of predicting russian behavior is covering its bases and drawing up some economic sanctions. you know, just in case or speaking of sanctions. washington has already threatened moscow with some extreme measures and globally the penalties are made you 2 of us foreign policy. washington is just rubbed china the wrong way to by imposing a diplomatic boy called on the upcoming winter olympics and is also impose sanctions. i'm 14 officials and full entities in iran and syria, over alleged rights abuses. we discussed the role and impact of american punitive

policies with the panel of guests. essentially, you gotta, you gotta view and walk into the u. s. american exceptionalism and, and supremacy. and they are basically, they're there, they're doing whatever they can to, you know, where we're married. it's a very arrogant policy and they use the sanctions. and if it really is a means to be stabilized, the other country sovereign nations and create economic hardship early. why do you think america is threatening to sanction russia for something that a has not happened and b will not happen according to the kremlin. but i think in one way it's a political move on that side. the other part is that we need it. we need a bogeyman and i think partially, there were luther are in once. it's kind of like a rabid dog. you know, you start to lash out in,

in different ways trying to protect yourself. and the only one problem we have is this kind of destructive approach to international relations. but it's, it's just so silly because ultimately you saw the brand he was sitting on. or do you think the continental united states is going to survive? if it makes a devastated mess of the rest of the world, do you think any western power seriously believes russia is about to invade ukraine? you know, it's hard to understand the logic. what could moscow stand to gain from, from starting a war? well, i think that the western governments do well know that this is rather at blame game . they make the public belief that russia is a real threat to the ukraine at the moment. russia is really in defense because they have to fear that a ukraine will become a part of the nato alliance. and this is, of course,

a major threat to the geopolitical setting of russia. cutting russia off. busy from swift would be the most extreme of measures deployed viet help into iran, devastated the economy there. is there any chance at washington pursuing what's being called a nuclear option based on their questionable diplomats that they potentially good. i think be very unwise move, very little impact, i think internally, externally it would, it would kind of back fire. i would think europeans would be very strongly lobbying against such an action. and if you're going to set off to do something like that, presumably that's the goal. well, let's just like opening a black hole up under the international banking system. we're seeing what's happening and showing with a grunt warbling of the property market, possibly going down the drain. uncles if that happens, that's going to pull down the western banking system, potentially. our doctor for journalism is hi june. the sancha support is

reacted to the british high court ruling on friday that the wiki league's founder can be expedited to the united states. washington one is appeal against a previous decision blocking a song from being sent to america to face trial on espionage charges. campaign is slammed the latest ruling, which was handed down on the u. n's. human rights de we condemn today's u. k. high court decision to allow the expedition of julian so on. so the u. s. which will prove historic for all the wrong reasons. we fully believe that julie, an assault just been targeted for his contributions to journalism. back in october, those a to day, harry, i was the united states trying to appeal over numerous grounds, including the fact that it offered an unprecedented package of assurances. as i saw, it would not be held under the maximum security district, his maximum security conditions in prison, and that he isn't on well, it's being,

he's made out of continue to say that he is indeed after suicide risk. and that all of these assurances are meaningless and vague as they put it. they said that the united states can reverse any decision at any point. cost is also concerned about the trustworthiness of america's guarantees to pointing to one of those reports in the, in the cia i had talked to kidnap, during the saw pro, to, to kill him speaking outside the high court. this morning. we've heard from stella morris to partner who's incredibly disappointed and she's saying why and how is this happening for? how long can this go on today is international human rights day? what a shame, how cynical to, how this decision on this day to have one of the foremost the foremost publisher journalists of the past, 50 years in

a u. k. prison, accused of publishing the truth about or crimes about cia killed teams. many people have been supporting her outside here. many, many protests is that also are similar questions. who is a glimmer of hope that you know, the british justice system might actually prevail for once? the british judiciary, this is on every level with the u. s. campaign to get a deal next july to 10 years, 10 years in the streets of london. public opinion in business side, a sound. but obviously the judge's decision is not on the side of public opinion. it's absolutely doesn't say things. so she, this time of year for another christmas about, do you know that is children without their data? stay on the fight to free judy. massage, the choice. we will prevail. eventually,

many people outside as a high court say, where is the human rights? in the case of june assange, obviously we're still on the foreground of the royal court of justice, but they call it the royal courts of injustice. a just as that the duke was being announced, i protest even through eggs at this side, directly behind me, which just goes to show the sentiment and feeling here on the streets of london shut. it was dashti, they're reporting this week. now here's how it reached this point in 2019 jaden sarge was forcefully removed by british police from ecuador embassy in london. after the country terminated his 7 year salem, there he sought refuge g as, sorry,

refuge after sexual assault allegations in sweden, which were later dropped british authorities arrested him on a separate charge of jumping bail. america once the wicked leagues founder extradited on claims of conspiring to hack government computers and publishing classified material. meanwhile, sanchez fiance claims he suffered a stroke during a hearing in october with leaks editor in chief christian had often talked to us following fridays really was actually in believable. and so i run a good disposition should be handed on the united nations human rights. the united states had all opportunity in the madison court to make those so called us who are and it did not. it simply press them forward after the last in the menus court in january, the united states had given assurances that the they would to treat the julian fairly. and he would get that treatment and be housed in an adequate to jail

. and could even server sentence if he gets one in australia, all of these so called assurance and have been and been investigated by human rights organizations such as amnesty international and found that the us you are. and so some of the work that paper they're written on, they are simply not reliable. we are dealing here with a nation where individuals on the top level in the junior, the top level of the cia and in the white house, contemplated kidnapping or killing julian sons. this is not a case that is being fought on the basis of the more this is an absolutely trying to steal any legal process. this is a political case, and the julian arrest us we have said for many, many years is a political persecution. you're watching the wait to hear now he's still at the tone a days have been wreaking havoc across central and southern parts of the united states,

leaving dozens said, many injured. we'll have a look at the details on the pictures just after the break. ah ah ah so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy

confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk with me ah, welcome back. and i have devastating storms and ripped through central and southern parts of the united states with kentucky, suffering the most damage. president biden said that the tornadoes could be the most disastrous in american history. my rescue workers have already found more than 40 missing people amid the damage buildings. but there are concerns. the number of deaths could exceed 100 shelters,

have been opened with the help of the red cross. and kentucky's governor has declared a state of emergency his local reporter at the costa which is the severe destruction that we can see in many places across different states. where several needles have heated really hard. the worst part here in may feel kentucky the governor of the state of the 70 people lost their life on these tries. you get the film. this has been the most devastating tornado event in our state's history. the level of devastation is unlike anything i've ever seen. satellite far too many homes that people were likely entirely devastated. this will be, i believe, the deadliest tornado system to ever run through kentucky. the devastation we can see here in the city center. he says something that will take a long time to recuperate, many people to the streets. we can see lots of citizens that got together to do all

they can in these hard time there for a while, these images do show the remains of a candle factory hit by a tornado. its roof collapse and authorities to say more than 100 people may have been inside when the storm struck. tornadoes have also wreaked havoc in other parts of the us. 6 people, the dead in the state of illinois where the reef of an amazon warehouse is brought down during the storm. and our console, one person is sort of being killed and 5 seriously injured after a tornado there. damage to nursing home. many of this were trapped inside, and the severe weather has also claimed at least 4 lives in tennessee. or another news this week to the shock in the russian capital on tuesday, when a man opened fire during a dispute over wearing masks killing to 2 employees in the public services office. his having the deadly incident unfolded

the the the solution i knew alexei ra slept. we worked together for about 4 months. why was the cloakroom attendant? he was a security guard. he was a kind hard working man, a good man. there were never any problems with him, and he always told me funny stories and anecdotes i found out earlier today that they were billing system police that we thought it was a bomb threat with there being a fire. but you found out that there have been a shooting with dead and wounded. and among the dead, i saw the name of that man. i worked with

the he pointed the gun at me, but apparently something jumped. he banded against his leg and the shot she, the floor. i'll walk to when so the girl lined by reception and shouting, help me please. what's wrong with my legs? the lot of what's your minister? i was at my workplace and how far along as well as the sound similar to gunshot, then i saw a man running towards the exit of the building. at that moment, i made a decision to detain him and i ran off to him. he resisted arrest. i saw that he was carrying a knife and a firearm. when i was detaining him, i made sure he couldn't use these weapons and neutralized him. or the judge was american journalists are being threatened with massive fines if they work for what

are perceived to be the wrong publications to contribute to, to a site called the strategic coach. a foundation have received stern warnings from the us treasury. this letter was sent to daniel and also mark vanco who both new york based journalist. it says that the s s c, f is on a list of banned organizations accused of election meddling, and that us citizens who engage in transactions with the foundation liable to fines of at least 300000 dollars annually shared his own experience with us. it was a warning regarding future articles. so essentially, if i write for sci fi and gauge and any kind of transaction, which i assume means a, an exchange of money. i could be head was massive fines that were completely destroy my finances. i was taken aback. i was, you know, concerned certainly, but actually i had stopped writing for the since the previous, you know,

of 4 or 5 months earlier. so i didn't feel personally threatened. but others who, who want to continue writing for the f rick stream li, frightened fair. they have all stopped writing from the site because really there's just, it doesn't, you know, it's impossible to, to battle the us treasury. busy in this kind of case, the u. s. treasury's power is, is enormous. and that of a, of an individual freelance journalist is always microscopic. but some of them are so frightened, they're unwilling even to give interviews like this one. so you know, so this is what a shilling effect means they're, they're unwilling to write and they're unwilling even to talk about why they, why they're too afraid to write. well, the threats to make up part of a targeted sanctions campaign that was announced by the treasury secretary back in april treasury will target russian leaders, officials intelligence services and their proxies that attempt to interfere in the us electro process or so bertie has democracy. this is the start of a new

u. s. campaign against russia malign behavior. the u. s. government claims the strategic culture foundation is in fact controlled by russia's foreign intelligence agency, the s p r. and that is also linked to the russian foreign ministry. the foundation that denies this and calls itself a research platform about your asian global affairs, but doesn't resolve, says a dangerous precedent has already been set. i think that the, that the at the s c f, the foundation hosts honest journalism. even though out i don't, don't agree with much of it. this is, this is serious work by serious journalists. and that as a supporter of a free speech in a free press, i believe that readers should have access to this kind of stuff. and, and yet the, the u. s. government is trying to close it down. and therefore, trying to stop information, which is usually at variance with official us policy, from reaching from reaching audiences, including audiences in the us,

to stop journalists from writing for these kinds of websites as a new step. and i think that and i was surprised because because the united states, in fact has a very good track record on when it comes to a free press. i mean, in america, we can say anything we want. yeah, i can write the most outrageous things about george w bush or joe biden and not have to worry for a moment about the search secret police crashing through my door. but now things may be changing slightly and doesn't the order well? not in the weekly look so far this sunday. nice to have the company. we're back again and just have a 30 minutes. ah, what happened? i make no city, no borders and is blind nationalities and

you fresh as a marriage. we don't have a therapy. we don't have a vaccine, the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be doing better. every one 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 massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together with oh, driven by dreamer shapes bankers and those with

theirs sinks. we dare to ask ah with mm. welcome to oils apart, shutting to steal q christmas in a row. covered 9000 is once again going in for the kill you on the con darian has

already elect restrictions in air travel. i'm looking cancellation, but it's a fact of business maybe worse by the pressure on already train healthcare systems . how solid are our defenses against this seemingly omnipotent and on the present shape shifting to discuss that i'm now joined by lauren's young ologist at the university of boring dr. young. it's good to see you. thank you very much for taking time to talk to us. thank you. now, as you know, amaco was named after the 15th out of the $24.00 letters of the alphabet, and it seems to be gaining notoriety as it moves along. how strong are the chances of mutations potential being exhausted before the greek alphabet runs out of letters? an interesting question. we don't look with any virus infection, the spreading, you will get changes, you'll get mutations that has been happening all the while. and of course,

these mutations are sort of selected for those that are going to be more infectious, or data are able to evade part of our immune system. so whizzing this all the time . the only way to quote this actually is to get people vaccinated actually, to swap the spread of the virus. so sadly, of these viruses are popping up all the time. many of us who get infected will be infected with more than one variant anyway. and it's just a bit of a game in terms of chasing the genetics of the virus and trying to suppress these changes by dampening transmission. and the way you do that is by vaccination. so i hope we get to a phase where we don't have to exhaust the whole of the greek alphabet, but i only have 9 letters left. and given the in the speed of the mutations, it looks like a case. and i read the, the other day that it will, how harmonization is already contemplating naming you variance after the star constellation. so there's really unlimited potential there. and i know you said before that we will have to get used to living with this virus. and we will have to

adapt to it, but how do you think.
