this is a, can you give it to someone to flush up a little over this with go says the future told, with nato in the u. s. must deal with the blog expansion an exclusive interview with all t rushes. foreign minister explains why and how it's connected to the crisis. so with adults in britain, the to schedule express the real opinions open the, the theory of falling victim to cancel coach a coach. now burning. we used to have

a good healthy democracy. good. have a device country where you could save it and then you'd have to all your case. people are frightened to always say what they fail in case there's a come back maybe in hopes for a new future dash does election. is there a scrap to have to will to mobilize them? the missions with very good afternoon. great to have you. company hit the weekly on out rushes. foreign ministry says that upcoming talks with the united states and nato will have to focus on ending the alliance. is expansion, it is exactly that an expansion of nato, and the non emergence of weapon systems to threaten our security on the russian border that are the main issues in the upcoming negotiations with the united states and nato. those who have not yet grasped the essence of the russian position should

understand this very clearly. earlier, this must nato accused moscow of planning to invade ukraine. i claim the kremlin denies status. the alliance continues its eastern expansion getting ever closer to russia's borders. nato has proven the last year's daughter. our open door policy is not on the something we are support in words, puddles in deeds part the by inviting to new countries, montenegro north mustard on that to become members. so we have enlarged the line. so the last few years for to new members, despite protests from, from russia. and also we are supporting ukraine in france efforts to come closer to natal membership. in a recent security proposal, russia laid out its goal of solid guarantees you crank and never joined nighter viewing. that is the best way to prevent any escalation of the conflict in the

country in an exclusive interview given to our team rushes foreign minister explain why moscow needs written b assurances. notice that he will be out on the monday. they've lived to us on a regular basis from oral pledges to even political obligations enshrined in the russian a political act. this time as president food. instead, we won't have legally binding guarantees. at the same time, we understand that the west can violate such guarantees as well if you want to do. she's going to, it was a very in depth interview. i'm here in the very studio to play, so beats, and a lot reduced format, mr. lover of cover to real her spectrum of salience, international and topics from the presence of foreign troops, us troops and syria, to the ongoing nuclear negotiations in iran. the main focal point. know, as we said, was that escalation, the ongoing crisis on the russia, ukraine border, and that's been very much a focal point of much with media. those allegations of thousands of russian troops massing on the ukraine border allegations level moscow. this is in preparation for

some sort of intervention or conflict. miss lovell was very clear to say that this is not something that moscow seeks or wants that russia moscow. once these issues can be resolved through daughter going through the strengthening or when fashionable institution such as the when and other organizations. and he really warned against the danger of a return or ra, returning to moods a might, is right, balance of power in the wilder insisting that dialogue is key and not just dialogue, but also putting any sort of agreement that you sort of dialogue in writing. in some sort of legal framework, and that was something that i focused on very much when we touched upon the expansion of nato eastwards mister lover of mentioned that russia moscow does see the presence of nathan military native military. the expansion to east was as a threat to its security and the west has to understand that. but as the topic of

concern for russia out of the compromise has to be reached, if the escalation is to happen. but it was it the solar global celeste to prove the heads of states and governments of clearly states that no participants of the o s. c, e should insure their security by damaging security of others. so when yen stalsen, burke may this high brow and arrogance statement that no one can preach the principle the washington treaty in accordance with which doors open for any candidate wishing to accede to nato, we can say that we are not party to this organization. we have not signed this treaty, but we have signed a broader pan regional euro atlantic documents that includes the principle of indivisible security. and if you install some burg, believe nato members can ignore this principle that is enshrined in their documents without the highest level, then perhaps it is indeed time for him to get a different job because he does not perform his functions very well. more than half of people in the u. k. are too scared to say what they really think according

to a new poll that found they're worried about being canceled bit by friends, colleagues or even family. marty shelley, i just, ashley has the story. cancer culture is silencing academics, a gagging public figures and wiping celebrities off the face of the planet. wait, can i really say that? who knows? but i not the only one biting my tongue is according to you got paul. majority of brits are living in fear of will being canceled. the majority of britons 57 percent say they have at least sometimes found themselves stopping themselves from expressing their political or social views for fear of judgment or negative responses from others. the idea or apartment can be cancelled, or in other words, blocked from having a platform is happening to hundreds with a very similar cycle. you say something offensive receive a public backlash, and suddenly you're gone done a finish cancelled by by. but it's only happening to big names and faces, but people like you and me work online on dates and even at home. i think we're

living in a coach now of bullying, bullying in workplaces the government actually. so i think people are frightened to always say what they feel in cases come back on. so the main she made you seem to have one. so a point of view of everything. and so if you say in different, you get what you get quote, or has to think there's a lot of things for the climate, change, covey or whatever. there's no discussion that is the narrative and you of the group or wish cause you, dan has a lot of issues where you fear fred, very careful about what you say and that's not right. let's have a good debate. and we used to have a good healthy democracy. we have a debate and country where you could say things and then you'd have to all of your case and some people just don't want to argue, i want to hear the argument. i just want to shut you down. so i know you can't tell you that you don't allowed to say that i thought divide the traditional approach of

apology. atonement forgiveness is no longer enough to warrant if they weren't accountability, social justice boycott and the more controversial the view on any topic like race, immigration breck, that the more you should keep your thoughts yourself and your mouth shut most with less progressive views on device of social topics, feel more reluctant to voice their opinion. some say rather than being politically correct, the whole thing has been spelled out of control into a social media merciless mob rule. but i haven't felt some from taking the risk of being cancelled. like for instance, j. k. rowling and her anti trust public position. worse bees. freedom of slavery, ignorance is trans. the meanest individual. hurrah! too is a woman? well, that wasn't her only comment, there's been plenty more. and as a result, she's been wiped off the face of the up even by the world. she created the pot to community, and the movie production team deleted her from scripts. meanwhile, r h

b o. the 20th anniversary, she was bought. not only that, a number of quidditch leaks, das they really do exist, announced that they're rebranding to distance themselves away from j. k. rowling, the tough that's a trans exclusionary radical feminist. but there are others in her potty school of thought. jackie raleigh wrote all the harry potter books by herself and they canceled her because she said gender was a fact. and then the trans community got mad and they started calling her turf trans, exclusionary radical feminist on tune turf. gender is a fact well, trans employees and allies at netflix stage to walk out forcing the c e o to publicly apologize. when you ah ah.

meanwhile team tough relished in the drama. if this is what being cancels is like i love it. the song continues as monty python's star. terry gilliam got cancelled for endorsing chapels, netflix special shortly after the old vic right here in london, announcer pulling his shirt into the woods from its november schedule. it is very said that a great cultural institution like the old, vague, allowed itself to be intimidated into cancelling our production of into the roots by small group of closed minded humor, averse i. d. o. x on their stuff. my unspeakable crime was recommending my facebook followers to watch netflix special by brilliant and provoked if american committed they did, and civilization didn't collapse. ok, so that's on the most extreme end of the scale. but at the end of the day, how hard is it not to say something that's obviously dunning turns out really hard

indeed cancel culture. this cancelling this punishment, it's everywhere. punishment. and i for and i, you said that therefore you must never work again. sooner or later the counselors will win. oh, british actress of prime time telling more and let been thinks even comedy is now on the verge of being canceled. it's a bit like laughter in church. something has to be forbidden to make you really laugh, to make you belly laugh. it's when you shouldn't be laughing. and so therefore all the things that are being canceled out, or i'm afraid the things that have always made people laugh. so is it time to cancel, cancel culture, because pretending somebody doesn't exist because they touched or not, it's a separate slope as let's face it. we've all upset someone somewhere. haven't we? the, the hopes of millions of libyans to choose a new direction for their country. seem to have been scuppered after elections on

friday, was scraps that decision coming up towards so the parading round the capital tripoli ratcheting up fears of a fresh civil war. the thought is it has dawn of reports, delay not vogue could serve certain outside interests this year promised to bring a tectonic change for libya, a chance to revitalize its political life and hold in election. the 1st one since the whole decade of lawlessness and in fighting, but local militia has had their opinion on this whole democracy. not on our watch said a bunch of warlords, as the internationally recognized governments fled into hiding. the u. s. is predictably disappointed, almost as if this om takeover was and led by the personal mob of sala body. a militant one, celebrated armed and funded by the west. when both sides pursued a common goal, we will deny the regime arms cut off and supplies of cash,

assist the opposition and work with other nations to hasten the day when gadhafi leaves power. the un greenlit nato's bombing campaign and bombs hail down on libya . as per the un resolution sorties were meant to protect civilians. as per you and statistics, some 60 people actually perished underneath who bombs and some activists actually believe real figures to be much higher. but they did the job. we can, could daffy forces enough for local militants to finish him off on the ground without any trial. oh, when he came, we saw he died. but the triumph of democracy did not come. instead, libya a once prosperous and promising oil rich nation turned into a lucrative pie up for carving to be split amid goons and warlords.

ah ah, ah, hillary clinton did not laugh any more as she was watching an american consulate being rushed by a murderous mob, killing the ambassador. i asked myself, how could this happen? how could this happen in a country we helped liberate in a city?

we helped save from destruction. those libyans who had no, we're to flee, had to survive in this hot mess of the international community's creation for a whole decade. this election was there a dim light of hope at normality miss will in us for the elections? i think it's in the interest of the libyan people and libyans state to emerge out of this crisis after years of darkness and to avoid all problems and political disputes in the coming years. then upset our hash avenue, honestly, the libyan people with disappointed. there are $2800000.00 registered voters, then suddenly they manipulate their feelings and decide to cancel the elections. libyan people reject this principle. they want these elections to start building a country that embraces every one. in the funny that in to her, i believe that postpone in the elections isn't in the interest of the libyan people . the commission has dashed to hopes of the been people because the delay men, small corruption. instead, they got yet another chance to confirm for themselves that right now,

whoever has more guns in libya, rules and any sort of western backed leadership will be serving only for as long as the warlords allow it to. obviously, the main culprit is nato, which destroyed a sovereign nation, the most prosperous nation in africa before the nato bombing. it converted libya into a failed state. the u. s. doesn't care about democracy either at home here. i don't think they care about in libya. i think what they care about is having a compliant country that will allow the u as in other western countries to pillage its resources. i don't think they really care whether there are elections there or not in the i certainly don't think they want elections that would result in a leader being elected that would protect libby as national sovereignty and resources. with godaddy aldana libby,

an opposition politician told us that the 2400000 voters have been insulted at manager bad. so what's happened with the elections as an insult? the 2 and a half 1000000 libyans who ready to elect a candidate. libby, if we say that the people rule that power and the final word belongs to the people, well then we should not neglect the millions of people who are registered to vote at all. but up nearly 100 candidates were lined up to run in this election and they came from an array of religious communities, tribes and social groups, having about 5000 have been nominated to be elected to the house of representatives living. unfortunately, the postponement of elections show that libyans do not have free will, are the libyans. he wants to have the final say today, tomorrow, and in the future, i should take the street had his laughter. all the authorities have been manipulating you and insulting on that. yeah, it's been one thing after another for more than 10 years in this never ending performance. he adds insulting, when bullying at this level in 30 years since the years sr

formally, came to an end, we look at how things have changed since and different people with the collapse as coming up to the brand. ah 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 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 shallows. for special gas today. the only in the legendary mid fire stein, other planet ponzi. match. nice to see. happy holidays. ah, welcome back. now, today mark's 30 years since the ussr officially ceased to exist. the union was replaced by 15 independent states among them. russia, ortiz, my guest, the intake, to look back at what has changed since the soviet flag over the kremlin was load. 30 years ago, humanity witnessed the spectacle, the dramatically changed the course of history,

the spectacular overnight collapse of the ussr. she loo sloan realty, too. as a result of a newly formed situation, creation of the commonwealth of independent states, i seize my activities in the post of the ussr president. so uniqueness, ah, here enough, 300000000 people woke up with a new nationality, their home and gone, race that the stroke of a pen. and it began with a perestroika, a radical rethinking of soviet mentality, identity and ideology. we must begin 1st by restructuring our thinking on psychology, organizationally in the style and ways working. i will say frankly, though, we do not restructure ourselves and i'm deeply convinced of this,

that we will not rebuild economy or social life. but perestroika proved too much too sudden too intense to unpredictable where the intent was evolution. the result was revolution. nationalism reared up with frightful speed across the u. s. sr. a leads and opportunities in various republics, clamored for power and independence. the result was climactic. the ussr season, his existence as a subject of international law and a geopolitical reality. it was the dawn of a new age. that was pessimism, but there was also optimism what marvels could peace bring. a great empire nicholas superpower, was split into independent countries, which got the chance to cooperate with each other as closely as they wanted, without any bloodshed. and so began a flood of cultural exchange, as western ideas rolled and roiled across the former ussr.

ah . ringback ringback ringback ringback ringback ringback ringback ringback ringback hundreds of millions of people thrown off communism dictatorship were apartheid. former adversaries now cooperate with us in diplomacy and global problem solving. reality, however, turned out to be far uglier than the propaganda post as will mainstream media promised the guiding hand of the communist party, god, old and buried hatreds, re ignited, and neighbors turned on each other. ah .

it wasn't just war and uncountable. debts had was misery, pure and simple economic social healthcare collapse. the rise of transnational mafias and organized crime fraud and corruption sisted across the former soviet union. ah . ringback ah, a traumatized, the people undoubtedly the misery and the hopelessness of the 90s, they yearned for stability. not for communism, no, nor the ussr, but for

a semblance of order. and whatever his detractors might have to say about putin, he gave the russians stability. agatha, unfortunately, are common fatherland. the soviet union dissolved. as you know, the core of this common states is historical russia, the russian federation, which is, you know, lost almost half of its industrial potential, half of its economy, the same share of its population and a substantial part of his territory. what can we do about this? now, i've already said that restoring the soviet union would be pointless and impossible for many reasons and not even desirable because on the senate, which make sense. few want the u. s. a saw communists back. legends have made that very clear, but to build a new state, a new russia, one which provides for the people, rather than uses them and at the same time, evoked the sort of respect that the soviet union did. while that scares russia's

opponents, hooton's plan scares them. you know, i think the concern is that president putin's public lamentations and private lamentations about the demise of the soviet union have gotten on noisier and stronger over the years. so the concern is that he's actually as a legacy project seeking to reconstitute to soviet union. and then, you know, would his appetite be fulfilled with that eating or what he seek. the soviet union has been gone for 30 years, but had spirited lives on lives, on the hearts of former citizens who now remember only the glory days, the good pots. they forget the empty shelves, the food lines, the k g b, at lives on the minds of rush has rivals who still think in terms of blocks and super bowers stuck as they are in the past. who believe that russia last did say

forever when the ussr collapsed? regardless of the fact that 30 years have passed since i rodnick, isn't it even in death? the soviet union still shapes our futures. in an interview with our team president, putin's assistant blood image in sky explains why he thinks the end of the soviet union was a catastrophe. in over 30 years ago, the ussr to soft. how did you perceive these events at that time? and has your view changed since that little silly were 2? i was one of the democracy defenders. the rossier newspaper newsroom decamped the white house to that time. we spent these unforgettable to nights though, with the newsroom in the white house. we were informing people and thinking up the news. we were printing flyers and went to the press center of the ministry of foreign affairs at his famous press conference. we were preparing for the qu, they were kalashnikov, assault rifles in the newsroom. i don't know whether they were loaded or not,

but they were in the rock. my point of view in these events, like any normal persons, has changed law of the years. but that moment it was definitely the democratic euphoria and enthusiasm by the report and has been colon the ussr dissolution, frankly, especially recently a tragedy at the dissolution of historical russia. the j. o, please. it is the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century. and it is the greatest geopolitical catastrophe. our country has seen for several centuries is a huge step park for our state law. also, jeff, according to the pulse today, the majority of russians, primarily those who lived in the ussr regret what happened more but 30 years ago. the attitude was different. what are the reasons for the change of you lives years so why do all of us within the country a thinking how it could be better? what would happen if we don't know? his shooting gives a choice. so what happened happened?

just know unpredicted how it would end. no one thought that it would end with the dissolution of the great country. we were not imagining that we would throw the baby out with the bathwater that during the process of fighting the one thing we would lose another. no one wanted the dissolution of the country, no one wanted to have to have a visa to travel to europe. mila, or not, shall there at all. no one wanted the civil and social conflicts, no war in central asia. no one thought that such a crazy situation. ukraine, where i am from would be possible. no one thought that nato forces would be located within walking distance from the board is val, country, or just on the border. the fact that to day people largely regret the dissolution of the u. s. a saw it doesn't mean they want to rebuild. the system of socialism is not the craving. the soviet times is not the craving for censorship, nor the difficulties in terms of going abroad is the craving for that humanistic idea that when people a mix nationalities are united, it actually supports peace and i wraps it up for this news. ok, thanks so much for your company throughout the morning in early afternoon and don't
