i thought well, in the top stories of the week here in our t tenchi spar laughter, ukraine, the navy ship approaches russian waters without authorization, something moscow, his sanders provocative and threatening also to come described as a dom date. the journalism. due massage support is lash out the london high court ruling to allow his possible extradition to the united states. yet another hearing is now needed to decide his fate. is this not a case that is being fought on the bay? sophomore? this is absolutely troubles do any legal process and devastating tornadoes tear 3 parts of america with more than 70 people feared dead in the state of kentucky. the lamp

hello there, just gone at 7 o'clock the sunday evening. here in moscow, you watching, the weekly attentions of ukraine did run high this week with russia criticizing the west refueling. the escalation and voicing concern natives actions in the region. boscoe says they could potentially lead to a large scale conflict where the escalation occurred after a ukrainian navy ship approached russian 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 though, and insisted the ship was an unarmed search and rescue vessel that never entered restricted waters all posed any threat, and it did eventually change course will. ukraine was the main topic of discussion between vladimir putin and joe biden. on tuesday, the u. s president pointed out what he called the threatening nature of russian troop movements near the ukrainian poured up and said severe sanctions were being

drawn up. moscow though, insist sick can move its troops, whether it wants to or within its own territory. while saying it's nato, which is making dangerous moves, the feminine spokes person talk to arte about how nato's actions are being perceived in russia. to just to denote a toilet group, 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 an aggressive invasion at the same time, no one talks to key of non warns care of against even thinking of a military intervention in the done yet so elegance, conflict, museums, tomato, shown to most now we see that nato is taking 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. and while ukraine and the west

to the keys rush of arming the self proclaimed republics in east in ukraine, the u. s. is openly sending arms to key f. washington revealed at 30 champlin anti tank missiles. systems were delivered t crane back in october, as part of a $60000000.00 military aid package and a further $200000000.00 are also on the table. and with the ongoing military build upon russia's borders, the g 7 group of advanced economies has threatened russia with a severe response if it attacks ukraine. moscow though, denies any plans of invasion and insisted his nato, which poses a threat to russia by expanding further east, closer to its borders. the white house, though, believes that only it has the right to draw the line. 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 the 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, even drawing up the criminal 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 pains jetting towards rushes borders. passenger jets with hundreds of civilians on board, diverted because the nato re complain was too close and wouldn't respond to ground control. the actions by the u. s. air force created the 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 new to, you know, a u. s. 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, holland, bush planting. 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, nater would grow not one inch eastward of berlin. well, 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 orbit 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 gas out of jail free card because in politics, well promises are made to be broken. where is that? where is that written down? where is that from was written down. and under that rumor, this room one will enrich current which it didn't co, erica, when i think that we're doing it in the mean time, the us 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 sasha taylor there were speaking of sanctions. washington has already threatened moscow with extreme measures and globally such penalties are essential to 2 of us foreign policy. america has just irritated beijing too by imposing a different massive boy costs. and sean is upcoming winter olympics and it's also imposed sanctions and 14 officials and 4 entities in iran and syria over alleged

rights abuses. we discussed the role in impact of americans, punitive policies for the panel of guess essentially, you gotta, you gotta view and walk into that. it's us, it's american exceptionalism and, and supremacy. and they are basically, they're, there, they're doing whatever they can. do you know where we're married? it's a very arrogant policy. they use the sanctions and if it really is a means to destabilize other countries, sovereign nations and create economic hardship earlier, 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. i think in one way it's a political move on that side. the other part is they, we need it, we need a bogeyman and i think partially, there were luther are in 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 the thinking 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 the 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 a 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 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 or. busy busy from swift would be the most extreme of measures deployed yet it help into iran, devastated the economy there. is there any chance of 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 european would be very strongly lobbying against such an action. and if you've got a set off to do something like that, presumably. ready not the goal, but let's just like opening a black hole under the international banking system. we're seeing what's happening and showing with a grunt warbling and the property market possibly going down. the drain. uncle says

that happens, that's going to pull down. the western banking system potentially i'll tell you for journalism that time shooting the sound support is reacted to the british high court ruling on friday that the wikileaks found that can be expedited to the united states. washington one, it's appeal against the previous decision blocking as songs from being sent to america to face trial on the espinoza charges campaign is slammed. the latest move, 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 us, which will prove historic for all the wrong reasons. we fully believe. but julian, a saw and just being targeted for his contributions to journalism. back in october, those a to day, harry, i was the united states try 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 the strictest maxim

security conditions in prison. over there and that he isn't eyes on well is being, he's made out well, you know, so just always have continue to say that he is indeed a suicide risk. and that all of these assurances are meaningless and vague as they purchase. they said that the united states can reverse any decision, not any point. class is also concerned about the trustworthiness of americans guarantees to pointing to one of those reports in the year that the cia had prompted to kidnap during the saw and put it to kill him. speaking outside the high court here this morning, we've heard from stella morris the 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 there who is a glimmer of hope that you know, the british justice system might actually prevail for once. the british judiciary, the system on every level, the u. s. campaign to get to the next slide to 10 years, 10 years in the streets of london, public opinion in the side of a sound. but obviously the judge's decision is not on the side of public opinion. it's absolutely devastating. so she, this time of year to another christmas without doing that is children without their dad at home. stay on the fight to free judy. massage the troy,

so we will prevail eventually many people outside as a high court say, where is the human rights? in the case of jr and assange, obviously we're still on the 4 grounds of the royal court of justice, but they call it the royal court of injustice. one out of a diplomatic. now i with julian assad, beyond a water. there are in this call. i just, as i said it was being announced, i protest even through eggs at this side, directly behind me, which just goes to show are the sentiment and feeling here on the streets of london . well, here's how it reached this point in 2019 june. sandra's forcefully removed by british police from micro doors embassy in london after the country terminated his

7 year silent. there he sought refuge after section assault allegations and sweden, which were later dropped. the british authorities arrested him on a separate charge, though with jumping bail america. once the wick leaks found, extradited on claims conspiring to hat government computers and publishing classified material. meanwhile, the sanchez fiance does claim he suffered a stroke during a hearing back in october. we can lease editor in chief christian had atkinson talk to us following friday truly. was actually unbelievable. and so i run a good this decision should be 100 on the united nations human rights. the united states had all opportunity in the madison court to make those so called us you are and it did not. it simply press them forward after they lost 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 serve his entrance 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 i found that those are, you are in 6 months worth of paper. they're written on. they are simply not reliable. we are dealing here with a nation where individuals on the top level in langley, the ginia, the top level of the cia and in the white house contemplated, kidnapping were killing julian assaults. this is not a case that is being fought on the basis of the law. this is an absolutely travesty of any legal process. this is a political case, and the julian arrest us we have said for many, many years is a political persecution. watch in the week, he still add to this. our unprecedented tornadoes have been wreaking havoc across

central and southern parts of the united states, leaving many the dead. and if you will have the details and the pictures just on the break. oh i i join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me. oh is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed? what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way?

or are you being led to some? well, direct. what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend. ah, so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah, welcome back to the weekly night. devastating storms have ripped through central and southern parts of the united states with kentucky suffering some of the worse damage. president biden said the thea tornadoes could be the most disastrous in american history. while rescue workers have already found more than 40 missing people amid the damage buildings and there are concerns to the number of deaths could exceed 100 shelters have been opened up with the help of the red cross. and

kentucky's governor has declared a state of emergency his local reporter edgar costa. this 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 mayfield, kentucky, the governor of the state announced that 70 people lost their life on these tribes . you get the so 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, but many people to the streets. we can see lots of citizens that got together to do all they can in these hard time. well, these pictures here do show the remains of

a candle factory that was hit by a tornado. its reef collapse and authorities to say more than 100 people may have been inside. when the storm struck. tornadoes have also torn through other parts of the united states. to 6 people at dead in the state of illinois where the roof and amazon warehouse was brought down during the storm. and in arkansas, one person sort of being killed and 5 seriously injured after tornado damage to nursing. how many others were trapped inside and the severe weather has also claimed was held at least 4 lives in tennessee. there was shock in the russian capital on tuesday when a man shot dead 2 people in a dispute over wearing a mask. the incident unfolded the

the solution i knew relax a risk. we worked together for about 4 months. why was the cloakroom attendant? he was the security. he was a kind, hard working man, a good man. were never any problems with him, and he always told me funny stories. and i found out earlier today that there was a system that we thought it was a bomb threat with their fire. we found out that there been a shooting with dead and wounded, and among the dead, i saw the name of the man i was with he pointed the gun at me, but apparently something jumped. he banded against his leg and

a shot to the floor. i looked over and saw the girl line by reception and shouting, help, please, what's wrong with my legs? the letter of which a minister i was at my workplace and heard of far alarm as well as a sound similar to gunshot. and 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 far on. when i was detaining him, i made sure he couldn't use these weapons and neutralized him. american journalist being threatened with massive fines if they work for what are perceived to be the wrong publications to contributors to a site called the strategic coach. a foundation have received the and warnings from

the us treasury. this actually was sent to daniel and also michael virchow, who are both new york based jernace. and it does say that the s c, f is on a list of band organizations accused of election meddling. and us citizens who do engage in transactions with the foundation are liable to fines of at least $300000.00. and these are shared his own experience with us. it was a warning regarding future articles. so essentially go, if i write for sci fi and gauge in any kind of transaction, which i assume means a, an exchange of money i could be had with massive fines that were completely destroy my finances. so i was taken aback. i was, you know, concerned certainly, but actually i stopped writing for the yes since the previous, you know, 4 or 5 months earlier. so i didn't feel personally threatened. but others who, who want to continue writing for s the f works dreamily frightened fair. they have

all stopped writing for the site because really there's just, it's, you know, it's impossible to, to battle the us treasury in this kind of case. the us treasury is power is, is, is enormous. and that of a, of an individual freelance journalist as you know, microscopic that some of them are so frightened, they're unwilling even to give interviews like this one. so, you know, so this is what it's 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, the makeup 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 us campaign against russian line behavior. the u. s. government claims the staging 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 though denies this and course itself, research platform a back she ration global affairs. but daniel is to say a dangerous precedent has already been set. i think of 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 is a supporter of a free speech and a free press. i believe that readers should have access to this. ready kind of stuff and, and yet if 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 that with the most outrageous things about george w bush or joe biden, and not have to worry for a moment about the 6 secret police crashing through my door. but now things may be changing slightly and it doesn't or go well. ok, well let's have the something to happening this weekend and use from sicily. now we're multiple people. a confirmed killed and numerous. others are still missing after a massive gas explosion did take place on the italian island. the blast completely destroyed. buildings including homes, emergency services have already pulled out survivors from the rebel and are continuing with rescue operations 1000 to rallied in stray layer against vaccine mandates and the new pandemic laws that were introduced by victoria state
